Chapter 545: Old Friends Meet
Shen Lie's words immediately attracted Li Xi's attention: "She wants to use my husband to advance her own conspiracy?" How to use it? ”
"I don't know, it's just a guess." Shen Lie smiled bitterly and shook his head: "There have been many similar precedents in the Beiya Reverse Scale Division, which is called the Dead Room. After being captured by the enemy, some top agents can still provide false information to the enemy through special means, or directly take advantage of the opponent's weakness to trap and kill the target. Of course, in the end, he himself will definitely not survive. ”
Yuan Bin listened to it again and again, and secretly screamed.
Murong Xue was caused by these words to think again, he pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Shen Changshi, I think what you said makes sense. If that's the case, I should have gone and seen Ruiji. ”
"Husband!" Li Xixiu frowned lightly and complained: "You know that there are tigers in the mountains, and you prefer to go to the tiger mountains, it's too unwise......"
Murong Xue raised her hand to stop the other party: "Princess, I understand your intentions, but I have to make a break with her after all." Moreover, she has many secrets on her, which are useful for counterinsurgency; Or as Shen Changshi said, maybe she still wants to use me, we have to figure it out. ”
Li Xi was speechless for a while, turned his head to look at Shen Lie, and Shen Lie bowed slightly: "I think it's okay to see it." Murong, your biggest problem is in your heart, if you don't overcome it, it will haunt you for the rest of your life. Princess, I guess you can understand what Shen means, right? ”
Li Xi nodded helplessly, and said to Murong Xue: "Husband, you can decide for yourself." ”
Murong Xue took a long breath and was about to answer, when the housekeeper suddenly hurried over and said that there were guests visiting outside.
Li Xi was surprised. Who's going to visit at such a late hour? And how can it pass the curfew? Could it be someone from the palace?
The housekeeper responded that the person who came was indeed the forbidden army in the palace, called Ouyang Lin.
As soon as they heard that Ouyang Lin had arrived, all four people in the room were stunned. This sudden rise of the emperor's close ministers obviously went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, for the sake of Rui Ji.
Murong Xue glanced at everyone and said, "I'm going to take down Wei Zixuan's master in a while." Shen Changshi and Brother Yuan Bin, how about you please hide in the side of the box and observe secretly? ”
Shen Lie was also very interested in that Ouyang Lin, so he nodded in agreement, and turned around with Yuan Bin and went to the side room.
Li Xi instructed the housekeeper to invite Ouyang Lin to come over to meet him.
After a while, Ouyang Lin, who was dressed in a cyan forbidden officer uniform, came to the living room with two guards under the guidance of the housekeeper of the Horse Mansion.
As soon as he saw Murong Xue, Ouyang Lin immediately stepped forward quickly, arched his hand and said loudly: "Humble to meet Engong." ”
Eun Gong? Murong Xue was slightly stunned, a little confused for a while, and didn't understand what Ouyang Lin called himself like this.
Ouyang Lin gave Li Xi a salute according to the rules, and then explained: "Commander Murong is concerned about state affairs and military affairs, and I think he is too busy on weekdays, so it is common sense not to remember his humble position. Great Commander, when you were in the eastern capital of Luoyi, you offended Xie Guang and the Xuanjia Army, or did you save your life thanks to your rescue, did you forget? ”
Hearing this, Murong Xue suddenly recalled, patted her thigh and said, "Oh, I remember!" You are the Ouyang Lin of the patrol camp! Oops, how many years have passed since this moment, it turned out to be you. ”
Ouyang Lin smiled and nodded: "It's a humble position." The kindness of the Great Commander will always be in my heart. ”
Murong Xue hurriedly beckoned Ouyang Lin to sit down, and immediately introduced the past to Li Xi, the princess of Fenyang. For Ouyang Lin, who was upright and fearless of power, Murong Xue admired it very much, and couldn't help but praise each other with Li Xi.
Li Xi didn't expect that Ouyang Lin would have such a relationship with his husband, and then he also understood why he could get Li Bing's trust and favor. In addition to ability, Ouyang Lin dared not to give Xie Guang face and seriously injured the Xuanjia Military General, which was also the trait that the emperor valued the most.
After a cordial greeting, Ouyang Lin changed his words and talked about the purpose of his visit tonight: to invite Murong Xue to see Rui Ji.
"Commander Murong, I know that this request is indeed a bit unkind to you. You must have a reason for calling yourself sick. Ouyang Lin said in a solemn tone: "However, Rui Ji is a major secret of the rebels, and she can't help but be in a hurry, so please be considerate." ”
Murong Xue waved her hand: "It's serious." If I had known that you were in charge of the overall situation, I would have gone early in the morning. Alas, speaking of which, I was young and ignorant back then, and I couldn't stand the emperor. ”
The meaning of these words is very clear, he once loved Rui Ji deeply, and he did not have the slightest vigilance and suspicion about this woman, and in the end, Li Bing was in danger, which was somewhat related to this.
Ouyang Lin nodded in understanding, glanced at Princess Fenyang first, and then tried to ask, "How is the Great Commander's body recovering?" ”
Murong Xue smiled freely: "As soon as you come, I'll be fine." ”
"Uh...... Since this is the case," Ouyang Lin glanced at Li Xi again: "In that case, can you move and go to the guard with your humble position?" ”
Li Xi was a little surprised: "Do you want to go now?" It's been three shifts. ”
"It's okay," Murong Xue stood up: "It's a rebel conspiracy, it's better to be sooner rather than later." Ouyang Lin, you wait for me for a while, and wait for me to change my clothes. ”
Ouyang Lin hurriedly got up and agreed, saying that he was waiting outside the gate of the Horse Mansion, and then bowed to Li Xi and Murong Xue to leave.
After he left, Shen Lie and the others turned out of the side compartment. Murong Xue asked while putting on her robe under Li Xi's service, "Shen Changshi, what do you think?" ”
Shen Lie looked at the courtyard outside the door and said thoughtfully: "This Ouyang Lin is very much like a person. ”
"Like whom?" Li Xi was busy tying Murong Xue's belt in his hand, and asked at the same time.
"Like me when I was younger." Shen Lie answered quietly.
This answer surprised Murong Xue, Li Xi and Yuan Bin, but they didn't expect Shen Lie's evaluation of Ouyang Lin to be so high.
However, Shen Lie shook his head: "This is not a good word. You should all know what Shen's nickname is, right? ”
Yuan Bin smiled: "People say that you are always the living king of Hades. ”
Shen Lie also smiled: "This Ouyang Lin may be the next living Hell King." Shen is confident that he will not be mistaken, he is the kind of person who is hard-willed, ruthless, and unscrupulous in order to achieve his goals. For the emperor, there is an almost paranoid loyalty, and he doesn't make any sense. ”
"Sooner or later, he'll be a blade."
Hearing this, Yuan Bin couldn't help but think about it, and for some reason, he suddenly remembered that the capital protected Li Jiangyao.
-
The horse team stopped in front of the palace guard, Murong Xue moved neatly, and jumped off the horse with a light turnover.
Ouyang Lin walked beside him, leading all the way to the cell where Rui Ji was being held.
"Great Commander, don't use your humble position...... Accompanying you in? Ouyang Lin asked.
Murong Xue thought for a while, and then refused: "I'll meet her alone first." ”
Ouyang Lin nodded: "It's okay." ”
After saying that, he waved his hand to retreat the guards left and right, then pushed open the door, and reminded Murong Xue in a low voice: "You don't have to stay too long at first, let's discuss it and talk about it for the second time." ”
Murong Xue bowed slightly, and then walked into the room.
As soon as he entered, Ouyang Lin immediately closed the door, and then quickly ran to the room next to him. There were three Haw Par Knights sitting against the wall, their ears pressed to the wall.
Ouyang Lin pulled one of them apart, sat down on the bench by himself, aimed at a small hole in the wall, and put his ear on it.
The voice in the next room came clearly.
"Childe...... There you are? ”
“……”
"Rui Ji has a rope tied to her body, so it is inconvenient to give her son a salute, and she asks her son to forgive her sins."
“……”
"Childe, why don't you speak? It's been a long time since I've heard your voice. ”
"At the beginning...... Why lie to me? ”
"Childe, Rui Ji can't help herself, she has nothing to say. What you owe you can only be repaid in the next life. ”
"You're pregnant with my flesh and blood, and it's also fake?"
"No, it's true."
"What about the kid?!"
"In Hangzhou. I entrusted him to an ordinary, good family with nothing to do with the rebels. This poor child, after all, is the blood of you and me, and Rui Ji can't bear to let him suffer with it. ”
A soft sobbing sound reached Ouyang Lin's ears through the wall. He frowned slightly and continued listening.
"Rui Ji ...... Why do you want to see me? ”
"Childe, Rui Ji knows that her sins are heinous, and she doesn't dare to ask for survival. I hope to see my son again before he dies, and my wish is enough. ”
"You...... What's the pain! ”
"I don't know why, I just want to see you again, even if I am scolded by you, I just miss you......"
Hearing this, Ouyang Lin's heart moved, and he quickly got up, turned to the next door and knocked on the door: "Grand Commander? Grand Commander? Please come out for a moment. ”
With a squeak, the door opened, and Murong Xue came out. Then the light of the torch next to him, Ouyang Lin could vaguely see the tears on the other party's face. He sighed secretly in his heart, pulled Murong Xue to the side, and said in a low voice: "Grand Commander, she is using tricks, do you know?" ”
Murong Xue adjusted her mood and nodded silently.
Ouyang Lin saw his state and knew that he couldn't be allowed in for the time being, so he said in a deep voice: "Please go to the signing room in front of you to rest for a while, and I'll talk to Rui Ji for a while." ”
With that, he gave his subordinates a look and asked them to accompany Murong Xue away, while he turned around and walked into the room where Rui Ji was being held.
"Mrs. Rui, don't be sad, there will be time to talk to General Murong in the future." Ouyang Linpi said with a smile: "How is it?" The official has done what he promised you, is it time for you to say something? ”
Rui Ji looked at Ouyang Lin with teary eyes, and said softly: "My lord, the conditions I proposed have not been fulfilled. ”
Ouyang Lin was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "Oh, you said about amnesty, right?" It's easy to do. However, before that, you have to reveal some valuable information to the official, and I can also plead with the emperor. ”
