Sensing Li Luo's abnormality, Xiao Chen hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Li Luo's face showed a rare violent emotional fluctuation, and even his whole body trembled slightly.

Gently handed the letter to Xiao Chen, who took the letter and glanced at it, and instantly understood why Li Luo had the current reaction.

It turned out that in the letter, Zhuge Hou confessed that he knew all the truth about Li Dang's death, and if Li Luo wanted to know, he would go to Jeju to talk about it.

Although Li Luo usually looks like he doesn't care about anything, only those who know him know that the death of his father Li Kang has always been a knot in his heart.

Even in Xiao Chen's private investigation, it was discovered that when Li Luo was still in Kyoto, Xia Kingdom, he had sent people to assassinate dozens of officials related to this matter.

After pondering for a long time, Xiao Chen rationally admonished: "With your relationship with the royal family of Xia Kingdom, Emperor Xia Zhang Yiyun personally sent someone to send the princess to Jeju, which is already a bit weird, but now that Zhuge Hou has sent this letter, it is even more suspicious." ”

"In my opinion, the trip to Jeju will definitely be dangerous, and I suggest that you refuse it."

"No!" Who knew that Li Luo firmly refused: "I must go to Jeju on this trip." ”

"Why?!" Xiao Chen looked surprised, in his impression, Li Luo was not such a high-spirited person.

With a gentle wave of his hand, he left the surrounding guards, and suddenly only Xiao Chen and Li Luo were left on the city tower.

Taking a deep breath, Li Luo said in a deep voice: "Everyone knows that my father died in Dongfeng City of Hexia Kingdom, and died in the battle of Heqian Kingdom. ”

"But after my investigation, I learned that the reason why my father died was because no one responded to his request for help, and even the food and grass were not replenished, which eventually led to the destruction of Dongfeng City and the martyrdom of my father."

"Immediately after that, I searched for melons, and finally found out dozens of officials related to this matter, but I knew in my heart that my father's death was inseparable from the current one on the throne of Xia Kingdom. It is precisely because of this that I am where I am today. ”

"I thought that as long as I overthrew the Xia Kingdom, I would be able to take revenge."

After a pause, Li Luo looked at Xiao Chen and said, "But do you know what Zhuge Hou's letter represents?" ”

Xiao Chen shook his head: "I don't know." ”

With his hands propped on the city wall, Li Luo muttered: "Zhuge Hou, not only was he my father-in-law, his teacher, but even my father's best friend. ”

"Originally, after my father died, he chose to retreat and has been living in seclusion on Nanyang Mountain, but I don't know why, since I became king in Huainan, he chose to return to the Xia Kingdom and oppose me everywhere."

"At first, I thought he had some troubles, but now it seems that maybe everything is not what I thought it would be."

His fists clenched subconsciously, and Li Luo said in a deep voice: "Judging from this letter, it is possible that he has long known the news that my father is going to be murdered, or he is personally involved in it. ”

"I went this time, first, to ask how my father died, and secondly, I wanted to ask him in person, if he knew all this earlier, why didn't he tell my father in advance."

"In my father's eyes, he is the one my father is willing to give him his back."

Xiao Chen was silent for a long time, completely unaware that there was such a big message hidden in this letter.

He didn't dare to imagine that if it was really as Li Luo guessed, his stepfather not only did not help his father, but even harmed his father......

"Xiao Chen, I want to ask you for something." Li Luo suddenly said to himself.

"You say!"

"If, I mean, if something happens to me in Jeju, I hope you can take over Huainan for me, if Huainan is captured by Zhang Yiyun, I don't know how many of them will die in vain, if you can take over, I don't expect you to help me overthrow the Xia Kingdom, at least Huazhou echoes from afar, and it should be able to save the lives of these people."

Li Luo's expression was serious, and he couldn't see the slightest hint of joking.

Xiao Chen said in a deep voice: "So, even if you die, do you have to go?" ”

Li Luo nodded lightly: "There are some things that I have to do." ”

"Okay, I promise you!" Xiao Chen nodded heavily and said: "But I still hope you can come back in person, this Huainan is too troublesome, too dangerous, more troublesome than my Huazhou, one Huazhou is enough for me to have a headache, plus Huainan, I'm afraid I won't be able to stand it and quietly go into hiding." ”33

Li Luo smiled dumbly, looked at Xiao Chen and said, "You won't." ”

Early the next morning, after handing over the Huainan matter to Xiao Chen, Li Luo rode out of the city gate with thousands of guards.

Xiao Chen kept sending Li Luo out of the city, and asked again: "Really want to go." ”

Li Luo smiled slightly: "If I really die, I will let Ji Wushuang assist you, when the time comes, you have Huainan and Yongzhou as the foundation, and Ji Wushuang by your side, it will not be good to be able to do an earth-shattering career in the future." If it really comes to that day, don't be in a hurry to pick a child, you have to give me a big day, and then go to my grave and say it, it's not in vain that I have been working hard in Huainan for so long. ”

Looking at Li Luo, who was still in the mood to joke, Xiao Chen shook his head bitterly: "I'm afraid that when Huazhou and Huainan are combined, it won't be enough for me, a loser, to squander." ”

……

Yong'an Palace, since Xiao Chen went to Huainan, Zhuang Shu took over the military and political power.

The guards below bowed and saluted, and said with a sad face: "Sir, now that Huazhou's finances are in an emergency, the entire Huazhou, even Ji Sheng and Linghu Chu's people, are all supported by our Yong'an, and the money in the treasury is only enough for Huazhou's expenses for a month." ”

Zhuang Shu didn't raise his head: "I know." ”

"Sir!" The guards stopped talking.

"Say!"

The guard said with a look of indignation: "Since that Jisheng and Linghu Chu returned to the prince, they nominally obeyed the orders of the prince, but in fact, they simply disobeyed the yang and yin, and they looked down on our Yong'an soldiers and horses at all, and even had disputes with us over the ownership of several states and counties near Manshenzhou, in my opinion, they didn't put themselves in a subordinate position at all, and they were still regarded as a prince." ”

"We still have to spend money to support this group of uncles, I am not convinced."

"Well, anything else?" Casually throwing the processed letter aside, Zhuang Shu looked at the guard in front of him and asked softly.

The guards were slightly stunned, these decisions were all arranged by Zhuang Shu, but at the moment Zhuang Shu didn't seem to have any reaction to this, and the guards who couldn't figure it out shook their heads gently: "No...... Without. ”

Nodding slightly, Zhuang Shu waved his hand and said: "If you don't have it, go down, by the way, it will be the winter solstice in a while, you bring a letter to the Marquis of Jisheng and the Lord Linghu, and say that I ordered the guards to shoot some game, so that they can come to Yong'an for a small gathering......"

The guard's face was bitter, but he could only sigh and nod: "Yes!" ”

……

Some people died, but not completely......
