Chapter 147: Mutual Fear

"Luo Tianjin, how dare you connive at your subordinates to confront the imperial court?"

Wang Xutong saw that the Xian Wangfu had already taken precautions, and he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart. He glared at Luo Tianjin angrily and asked, "Do you know what you're doing? Do you know that the person you are guilty of now is not this king alone, but ......."

"I know very well what I'm doing!" Before Wang Xutong finished speaking, Luo Tianjin had already interrupted indifferently, "We Han people have a saying, called 'Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated', and now you are committing murder, not only insulting my daughter, but also insulting all the disciples of the Xianwang Mansion and insulting the Han people all over the world." Luo has been fighting and killing in the rivers and lakes for decades, and he has already hung his head on the blade to live. Over the decades, I have endured countless hardships and deaths to get to where I am today. After so many years, there are countless people who want to kill me, do you think I am still afraid of death? I am afraid of death, and I will not stand here today!"

Wang Xutong was very sad, although he was very sad about his son's death, but he knew better that he must not completely fall out with Luo Tianjin. At least, not today.

The Mongol Khan once issued a secret order to Wang Xutong, ordering him to try his best to win over all factions of the Central Plains martial arts after he came to Luoyang, so that when the Mongol army went south in the future, he could cooperate with the Mongol army to unite with the outside world, create internal strife for the Great Song Dynasty, and reduce the resistance of the Mongols to unify the world.

And Luo Tianjin, the king of Northern Sages, was one of the targets personally named by the Mongolian Great Khan to surrender.

To a certain extent, Wang Xutong's real intention in serving as the general of Luoyang was not to manage the people's livelihood in Luoyang, but to recruit An Luo Tianjin and make him serve the Mongolian court.

For this reason, Wang Xutong has used many means, both soft and hard, persuaded and persuaded, frightened and frightened, and forced, and even wanted to form a good relationship with Luo Tianjin through marriage proposal. But the results have repeatedly exceeded his expectations, so that it is so difficult to end today.

Among them, what Wang Xutong regretted the most was to take the initiative to fulfill the marriage between Wang Qingshu and Luo Ningyu. Even the trick of "overlord hard bow" was taught to Wang Qingshu by Wang Xutong himself.

Now that I think about it, he said a prophecy that day, and his son really died in the hands of Luo Ningyu. Although she was not killed, she died.

"The prince is angry, everything should focus on the overall situation!"

Qi Tai, the butler of the General's Mansion, walked quickly to Wang Xutong's side, and whispered in his ear: "The little prince has gone, if we turn against Luo Tianjin today, I am afraid that we will lose our wife and lose our troops." ”

Hearing Qi Tai's persuasion, Wang Xutong's eyes struggled and slowly took a step back, and he waved his hand very reluctantly to signal the Mongolian sergeant to put away his blade first. Seeing that Wang Xutong retreated, Luo Tianjin gradually regained a trace of his senses, and ordered the disciples of the Xian Wangfu to take three steps back.

The incompatibility just now has finally eased. For this reason, Qi Tai, Xie Xuan and others secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lord Luofu, I know that you are a hero in the world, not afraid of power, nor afraid of life and death. Wang Xutong forcibly suppressed the pain of losing his son in his heart, and said in a trembling tone, "This king came with troops today, I don't want to embarrass you, I just want to catch the murderer, and use his head to comfort my son's soul in heaven." ”

Luo Tianjin stared at Wang Xutong with deep eyes, and his mind was quickly calculating, although he was angry at what Wang Qingshu did to Luo Ningyu, but now that Wang Qingshu is dead, he can be regarded as retribution. In contrast, the grief and indignation in Luo Tianjin's heart are far less profound than Wang Xutong, who lost his son when he was old.

After a moment of silence, Luo Tianjin slowly spoke: "As far as I know, Liu Xunyi didn't kill Wang Qingshu last night. I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding. ”

"Misunderstanding?" Wang Xutong wanted to be angry, but then he thought of Luo Tianjin's identity, so he sighed and asked in as calm a tone as possible, "Liu Xunyi killed in Fengming Tower last night, is this also a misunderstanding?"

"Yesterday, the little girl was trapped in Fengming Tower by Wang Qingshu, Liu Xunyi wanted to take her away, but was stopped by Zhuge Xiong's father and son. Luo Tianjin said faintly, "If this matter is studied in detail, it is actually the Golden Dao Gate that bullies the few and bullies the weak, but in the end, they are not as good as others, so they will be pulled back by Liu Xunyi." ”

"It's good that the Lord of Luo Mansion admits this. Wang Xu said, "This king knows that yesterday's incident in Fengminglou had nothing to do with the Lord of Luofu and the Xianwang Mansion, and everything was caused by Liu Xunyi alone. How many people he killed last night, this king can turn a blind eye, and even stop pursuing it. But he is ruthless with his sword and kills Shu'er, so I can't ignore this matter. The lord of Luofu is also a father, and his daughter is still furious when she is humiliated, not to mention that someone has killed the son of this king? The lord of Luofu has always understood the great righteousness, so why not put himself in the shoes of this king? How can he not take revenge for killing his son?"

"The revenge of killing a son should be avenged. Luo Tianjin nodded undeniably and said, "But then you should also find the culprit to report, Liu Xunyi did kill a lot of people in Fengming Tower last night, but he never killed the little prince." ”

"Lord Luo Mansion was not in Fengming Tower last night, how can you assert it?"

Luo Tianjin said lightly, "The little girl can testify about this matter, and I believe that other people in Fengming Building yesterday can also come forward to testify." ”

Wang Xutong shook his head with sad eyes and said, "Most people hid early in the events of last night, and they didn't know the details at all. And what I saw with my own eyes was almost killed by Liu Xunyi. How do you let this king find it? What's more, apart from Liu Xunyi in Fengming Mansion last night, who else would kill Shu'er?"

"This ......"

"The lord of Luofu might as well call Liu Xunyi out and let him confront this king face to face, how about it?" Wang Xutong couldn't help but be annoyed when he saw that Luo Tianjin intended to protect him, but because of the current situation, he had to suppress his anger and stay calm.

Luo Tianjin said: "It's not a secret, Liu Xunyi was seriously injured, and now his life and death are uncertain, I'm afraid I can't come out to confront you." ”

"Except for Liu Xunyi, this king really can't think of anyone else who will kill Shu'er. Wang Xutong said bluntly, "The lord of Luofu will not just want to let this king give up the revenge of killing his son with just three or two sentences, right? Even if the murderer is someone else, then I will not be able to pardon Liu Xunyi until I find the real murderer." As for today...... Regardless of whether Liu Xunyi is alive or dead, please also ask the lord of Luofu to hand him over to this king, otherwise how can you let this king be willing to ......"

"Three days!"

Before Wang Xutong's words fell, Luo Tianjin suddenly spoke: "Please General Wang give me three days, I will definitely give you an explanation after three days! I want to investigate this matter clearly, Liu Xunyi is a person from my Xianwang Mansion after all, not to mention that he has just rescued my daughter from Fengming Tower, if I hand him over to you now, once it is publicized, I am afraid that people in the world will say that Luo Mou is an ungrateful sycophancy who clings to the powerful." ”

"How does Lord Luo want to investigate?"

"If Liu Xunyi didn't kill the little prince, then there must be someone else who is the real murderer. And this person has sinister intentions and wants to provoke the relationship between you and me, which can be described as vicious. Luo Tianjin hesitated, "Just wait for Liu Xunyi to wake up, Luo will personally inquire clearly, if someone is really doing something in secret, then I will definitely find out this person, and then hand him over to the general's mansion and let General Wang dispose of it." ”

Wang Xutong's face sank like water, staring at Luo Tianjin, listening to it, these words were like Luo Tianjin's cover-up. But at the same time, Wang Xutong knew that since Luo Tianjin had already said this step, if he continued to stalemate, he was afraid that it would be in vain, and maybe he would stir up the sword soldiers again.

Although Wang Xutong has a thousand or ten thousand dissatisfaction with Luo Tianjin, there is one thing he knows very well. With his existing soldiers and horses, he couldn't compete with Luo Tianjin at all. So just now he took the initiative to retreat, firstly for the unification of the Mongolian court, and secondly, for his own safety.

Wang Xu is quite deep in the city government, how can he not understand the truth of retreating as advance and avoiding the edge for the time being?

"Okay!" After hesitating again and again, Wang Xutong's eyes suddenly flashed a ruthless color, and he nodded and agreed, "I'll give you three days, I hope that after three days, the lord of Luofu can give me a satisfactory explanation!"

Luo Tianjin didn't expect Wang Xutong to compromise easily, and was secretly surprised in his heart, but on the surface, he still looked indifferent and insipid, and said softly: "Thank you!"

A storm ended hastily under the compromise of the gods.

Seeing Wang Xutong lead his troops away, Luo Tianjin's eyes, who were calm, changed suddenly, and he whispered to Xie Xuan: "From now on, secretly block the whole city, and not even a single fly can be released." ”

"What does the mansion master mean......" Xie Xuan said thoughtfully, "Didn't Wang Xutong really withdraw from the army just now?"

"How can the revenge of killing a son be so easy to give up?" Luo Tianjin said in a deep voice, "I expect that the reason why Wang Xutong compromised just now is because he knows how to judge the situation and knows that he can't go head-to-head with me today." If he had fallen out just now, not only would he not be able to take revenge, but he might also take his own life. But if I were him, I would immediately go to the Mongol court and gather a large army to come to Luoyang City. Wang Xutong is not that simple, if he doesn't fight, he will do it, and if he wants to fight, we have no power to fight back, so I have to guard against it. ”

"Hiss!" Hearing this, Xie Xuan couldn't help but gasp, and hurriedly responded, "I'll send someone to monitor the General's Mansion day and night, and if there is any disturbance, then ......" Xie Xuan's words were not finished, and he seemed to be waiting for Luo Tianjin to give him an order. But seeing the cold light flashing in Luo Tianjin's eyes, Xie Xuan immediately understood, and nodded slowly with a solemn expression.

After a while, Jiang Yiwei suddenly asked, "Mansion Master, you have three days to ask Wang Xutong." Was it really to investigate the cause of Wang Qingshu's death in the past three days? Or ...... What else do you mean?"

Luo Tianjin raised his eyebrows, and asked secretly, "What do you want to say?"

"In three days, I'm afraid that the mansion master is waiting for someone, right?" Jiang Yiwei smiled mysteriously, "Cheng Qiu of Fan Humen will go to Luoyang City in three days, and then he will know that Liu Xunyi is a human being or a ghost." If Liu Xunyi's origin is true, the lord of the mansion will try to protect him, but if it is found that Liu Xunyi's origin is false, then ...... Then you can hand him over to Wang Xutong and get rid of him by the hands of the Mongols. ”

Jiang Yiwei's words made Lin Fangda's face change suddenly, and he hurriedly asked: "Mansion Master, Xun Yike has just rescued Ning Yu, how can we ignore his life and death? If we hand him over to Wang Xutong, wouldn't he definitely die?"

"He ignored my orders and killed Wang Qingshu without authorization, shouldn't he pay for his life?" Luo Tianjin retorted in words.

"This ......" Lin Fang's brows tightened, and he said in a slurred voice, "Could it be that the mansion master also thinks that Xun Yi killed Wang Qingshu?"

Luo Tianjin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said angrily: "Today, we and the General's Mansion have become a fire and water, and the two families want to be safe again, which is tantamount to a fool's dream." I expect that sooner or later there will be a bloody battle between me and Wang Xutong. If you are not careful, the Xian Wangfu will be greatly damaged, and even wiped out. The root cause is because of Wang Qingshu's death. There was no stiffness today, because they had mutual scruples, and Wang Xutong had to swallow his anger, but I don't believe that he would endure it forever. What I'm angry about now is not that Liu Xunyi killed Wang Qingshu, but that he ignored my orders and ignored the life and death of the Xian Wangfu. ”

But just now the lord of the mansion said to Wang Xutong...... The real culprit is someone else......"

"That's just my excuse!" Luo Tianjin said coldly, "You should know very well that there was only one person in Fengming Tower who could kill Wang Qingshu last night, and that was Liu Xunyi, except for him......"

As for this, Luo Tianjin's voice stopped abruptly. I saw that in his annoyed eyes, a suspicious look quietly flashed, pondered for a moment, and suddenly raised his head with a solemn face, and muttered thoughtfully: "No! Last night in Fengming Tower, there were obviously two important people, why didn't Wang Xutong mention a word just now?"

"The lord of the house is talking about ......"

Wang Qingshu deceived Yu'er's bait, the father and daughter who sang for their son...... Where's that?"

......
