Chapter 650: Life and Death (8)
"Luo Tianjin, Benhou has set up a net of heaven and earth, no matter how capable you are, it will be difficult to fly. Zhao Yuan stared at Luo Tianjin with unkind eyes, and said indifferently, "Those who know each other obediently tie their hands and arrest them, so as not to make mistakes again and again, and affect the innocent." ”
"Hmph" Luo Tianjin sneered contemptuously, "In my territory, I dare to say that there are ten young guards under the command of Tianluo and Tianjihou, and all of them are very skilled." I just don't know how powerful it is."
Hearing this, Liu Xunyi's face changed suddenly, and he secretly said "sure enough" in his heart, and his eyes became more and more tangled when he looked at Luo Tianjin.
"It's just a false name, and I dare not be ashamed. Zhao Yuan pretended to be humble, "The top ten young guards under the command of Ben Hou are not powerful, and they are even more trivial compared to the leaders of the martial arts alliance. Moreover, one of the worst ones you have already learned is the black fan of your mansion. ”
As soon as they met, Liu Xunyi's disguise was exposed, and Zhao Yuan's move was inevitably caught off guard.
Especially Liu Xunyi, I don't know how to face Luo Tianjin tonight
Liu Xunyi's martial arts and methods are obvious to all in the rivers and lakes, and he is definitely a leader among the younger generation. But in Zhao Yuan's mouth, he became the worst of the top ten young insurance, which seems to be humble, but in fact he is extremely arrogant.
As everyone knows, looking at the entire Central Plains martial arts, few people dare to boast that they are better than Liu Xunyi.
Luo Tianjin's expression stiffened slightly, and he turned his eyes to Liu Xunyi beside him, and there was an indescribable and inexplicable complex feeling lingering between his eyebrows.
Under Luo Tianjin's angry and sad, resentful and hateful scrutiny, Liu Xunyi, who was ownerless and uneasy, could no longer hold back the shame in his heart, and actually knelt on the ground with a "poof" in front of everyone's eyes, and kowtowed three times to Luo Tianjin, who was speechless.
Luo Tianjin, who was iron-clad, was not moved in the face of ambushes on all sides and hundreds of swords, but at this time, his eyes were red in the face of Liu Xunyi's kowtowing, and a trace of tears emitted a burst of ghostly light under the reflection of the moonlight.
Although he knew Liu Xunyi's identity for a long time, but at the moment when they took off their disguises, Luo Tianjin still couldn't help but feel sad and full of emotion.
"Liu Xunyi, what are you doing on his knees" Zhao Yuan frowned, and said angrily, "You are an official, he is a thief, you and him are incompatible, and water and fire are incompatible." As an official of the imperial court, how can he stand up so quickly and cheaply"
In the last sentence, Zhao Yuan issued the order in an unquestionable tone, which shows his strong dissatisfaction with Liu Xunyi's kneeling.
After all, a young protector of the imperial court with the emperor's order actually condescended to the nobles and bowed to a traitor who plotted to rebel, which was undoubtedly a thief, once it was publicized, not only Liu Xunyi would lose face, but the reputation of the Great Song Dynasty court would also plummet.
However, Liu Xunyi, who has always understood righteousness, not only did not prohibit Zhao Yuan's order, but turned a deaf ear, and still knelt straight in front of Luo Tianjin, motionless for a long time.
"Looking for clothes, what are you doing" Luo Tianjin's heart was also full of confusion, and he hesitated, "Could it be that you are ashamed in your heart, so you want to abandon the darkness and turn to the light"
"I'm sorry" Qin Wei said angrily, "If Liu Xunyi has a different heart, it is to abandon the light and turn to the dark, why not abandon the dark and turn to the light" After that, Qin Wei turned his urgent and resentful gaze to Liu Xunyi, urging, "Liu Xunyi, you are crazy, you know what you are doing, and you don't get up quickly, don't make Hou Ye angry"
"Master of the Mansion" Liu Xunyi looked at Luo Tianjin, who was frowning, pitifully, and begged bitterly, "Plotting to rebel is a dead end." Can you look at the affection of the son and the young lady, and stop the horse before the big mistake is made?"
"Clothes, you"
"I promised Miss, I would save your life no matter what. Liu Xunyi didn't give Luo Tianjin a chance to refute, and said, "As long as you are willing to get lost and know how to return, I am willing to ask the Hou Ye to intercede for you in front of the emperor and spare you from dying."
"Bastard"
Zhao Yuan was furious, the green tendons on his forehead burst out in anger, and he scolded, "Liu Xunyi, what nonsense are you talking about, Luo Tianjin should be punished for his crime, the crime is unforgivable, how can you intercede for him, let alone let you make the decision for the emperor"
"Hou Ye Kaig, although the lord of Luofu is suspicious, he has not yet found ironclad evidence, everything is Ling Xiaoxiao's words"
"Enough" Zhao Yuan said angrily, "Liu Xunyi, do you want to betray the court and rebel with Luo Tianjin?"
Liu Xunyi's frightened body trembled, and subconsciously responded, "My subordinates don't dare"
"Since you don't dare, don't talk nonsense anymore. Zhao Yuan reprimanded, "Ben Hou ordered you to take action now and take down Luo Tianjin's head."
Liu Xunyi was silent, his eyes trembled and he looked at Zhao Yuan, who was righteous, and said, "Master Hou, this matter"
"Don't talk nonsense," Zhao Yuan waved his hand extremely impatiently, "If you still have Benhou, the court, and the emperor in your heart, you will immediately act and kill Luo Tianjin." If you disobey orders, you are unkind and unjust, without a king and without a father, and you are guilty of the same crime as a traitor."
"Me"
Zhao Yuan's words carried a lot of weight, he knew what Liu Xunyi cared about the most, so he stabbed him in the heart, in order to force Liu Xunyi to make a choice between the court and Luo Tianjin.
In fact, Zhao Yuan did not deliberately make things difficult, but took great pains to help Liu Xunyi clear his suspicions.
Tonight, the captains of the Tianji Pavilion are here, there are many people, and it is difficult to judge right and wrong. If Liu Xunyi has been indecisive and entangled with Luo Tianjin, it is inevitable that rumors will not breed in the future and the truth will be true.
At that time, even if Liu Xunyi has made immortal achievements, I am afraid that someone will dig out tonight's old accounts and falsely accuse him of bad intentions in front of the emperor and protect the traitor.
Liu Xunyi was raised by Zhao Yuan, and he was also Zhao Yuan's most optimistic junior, so he couldn't bear to watch him go astray and his future ruined. Therefore, Zhao Yuan had to be ruthless, knowing that Liu Xunyi's heart was painful, and he wanted to force him to make a decision immediately.
Zhao Yuan knows that the world is difficult, people's hearts are sinister, and he knows that "long pain is better than short pain", he doesn't want Liu Xunyi to fall deeper and deeper, so he has to be ruthless.
In this section, Liu Xunyi doesn't know
"Clothes Hunting"
Just when Liu Xunyi was in a dilemma and was in great pain, Luo Tianjin's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, "If you want to kill me, I won't resist." ”
Liu Xunyi was shocked, and hurriedly looked up at Luo Tianjin, who had a soft face.
He was puzzled, Luo Tianjin knew that he was a traitor sent by the imperial court, why he was not angry but calm, and even looked at him with a little love in his eyes.
"Mansion Master, don't you blame me for deceiving you" Liu Xunyi asked in disbelief.
Luo Tianjin shook his head slowly, and chuckled, "It's me who looks away, so it's me, not you." You're just doing what you're told, what's wrong?"
"But"
"Xunyi, whether you are from the court or not, you are my good apprentice. Luo Tianjin said bitterly, "Actually, not only did you deceive me, but I also deceived you." I already knew your identity when Xun Qin exposed you. It's just that I really can't bear to kill you, so I'm pretending to be confused. ”
The words of the "mansion master" Luo Tianjin were very affectionate, which made Liu Xunyi feel even more guilty while being moved.
"Since I can't bear to kill you, I have no regrets about dying in your hands tonight," Luo Tianjin continued, "If someone else makes a move, I will kill back." If you make a move, I will never resist. ”
Luo Tianjin's expression was solemn and his words were sincere, as if he believed Liu Xunyi, but in fact he was testing him.
He wants to take this opportunity to try whether Liu Xunyi really has murderous intentions towards him, if Liu Xunyi can't bear to kill Luo Tianjin, it proves that Luo Tianjin has a lot of weight in Liu Xunyi's heart, and the reunion of father and son in the future will be a matter of course.
On the contrary, if Liu Xunyi does not miss the old feelings, disregards the grace, does not preach morality, and ruthlessly kills Luo Tianjin, it proves that Liu Xunyi has regarded loyalty and righteousness as the top priority in his heart, and Luo Tianjin is only afraid that it will be difficult to rebel.
If this is the case, Luo Tianjin will never sit back and wait for death as he said. As a last resort, even if Liu Xunyi is his own flesh and blood, he will not show mercy
"Master can't bear to kill apprentices, how can apprentices bear to kill master" Liu Xunyi's expression was wooden, muttering to himself, "If I am ungrateful, I will repay virtue with grievances, how different from beasts"
"Liu Xunyi, don't be bewitched by his rhetoric" Zhao Yuan saw through Luo Tianjin's intentions at a glance, and said sharply, "He said so much, he just wanted to shake your mind and use you to help him escape, you must not be fooled"
"Not bad" Qin Wei nodded again and again, "Brother Liu, if you don't believe it, you might as well give it a try and see if he really doesn't resist."
"Liu Shaobao, don't hesitate any longer" Wei Liang was anxious and urged, "The longer the time is delayed, the more unfavorable it will be for us." If Luo Tianjin is deliberately delaying and waiting for reinforcements, wouldn't we miss the opportunity?"
Luo Tianjin put on a fearless appearance of being generous to death, and encouraged, "What they said is right, you don't have to hesitate, if you want to kill me, now is undoubtedly the best opportunity." ”
"Wow"
Under the urging of voices from all directions, Liu Xunyi's eyes suddenly turned fierce, and he took the opportunity to draw his sword out of the sheath, and the extremely sharp Wuji Sword pointed directly at Luo Tianjin, who was motionless.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Yuan and the others all held their breath and concentrated, and the noise disappeared in an instant, staring at Liu Xunyi and Luo Tianjin's every move with wide eyes one by one, and the east courtyard fell into a dead silence again.
Luo Tianjin was not surprised, his face was still filled with a kind smile, and he encouraged, "Let's make a move"
"Whew"
Before Luo Tianjin's words fell, Liu Xunyi suddenly bent his arm, and Qing Feng slashed a silver arc from mid-air.
The next moment, the sharp blade was tightly attached to Liu Xunyi's neck.
"Looking for clothes, what are you doing?"
"Liu Xunyi, you"
The sudden upheaval made Luo Tianjin and Zhao Yuan stunned at the same time, and the two of them subconsciously let out an exclamation, their eyes full of horror.
"Tonight's incident is because of me," Liu Xunyi said disheartenedly, "I can neither ignore the court and betray the prince, nor can I take revenge and kill the lord of the mansion." Liu Xunyi is incompetent, he can't serve the country, and he can't abide by human ethics Since this is the case, I can only apologize with death and let you attack each other."
Before the words fell, Liu Xunyi suddenly swung his sword and slashed at his throat.
"Knort"
"Boom"
Without waiting for Liu Xunyi to thank himself, Luo Tianjin, who was ready to attack, waved his right hand violently, shooting out a fierce energy, which was accurately pointed at Liu Xunyi's wrist, catching him off guard, his wrist was numb, and the Wuji Sword fell out of his hand, leaving only a shallow blood mark on his throat.
"Master, you"
"Xunyi, you'd rather commit suicide than be my enemy, it's good" Luo Tianjin's eyes were full of relief, and he nodded slowly, "Since you are in a dilemma, you will watch from the wall and don't have to make a move." ”
"What"
"Zhao Yuan, do you think that your little skill of carving insects will succeed in front of me" Luo Tianjin ignored Liu Xunyi's astonishment, and said to Zhao Yuan, "Since I knew that you were going to deal with me, how could I be defenseless"
Seeing that Luo Tianjin was confident, Zhao Yuan's eyes couldn't help but change, and a trace of uneasiness involuntarily welled up in his heart, and he said in a deep voice, "Luo Tianjin, don't blempty in front of Benhou, the disciples of the Xian Wangfu have already poured out, you"
"Since Lord Zhao doesn't believe it, I'll let you see Luo's methods."
After saying that, the smile on Luo Tianjin's face suddenly retracted, and a monstrous killing intent escaped from his body, like a lingering haze, shrouded in the sky above the East Courtyard, making Zhao Yuan and the others all feel a chill in their backs.
"Murong Bai, Deng Quan, don't show up yet, when will they wait?"
With Luo Tianjin's shout, a noisy and hurried footsteps suddenly sounded around the east courtyard, which was as quiet as death.
Suddenly, 800 black-clad "Imperial Forest Army" armed with sharp blades swarmed from all directions, surround the frightened Zhao Yuan and the 300 Golden Sword Captain with lightning speed.
Murong Bai's expression was cold, his eyes were cold, the silver spear in his hand pointed at the sky, and dozens of torches burned in an instant, illuminating the dim eastern courtyard as bright as day, and also reflecting the faces of Zhao Yuan and others as miserable as white ash.
