twenty-one

The sky in Luoyang was gray, and King Ning's courtyard was empty.

After three days of taking pictures, the study said goodbye, and was taken to the yard by Li Wan'er without a name, and on the pretext of flying a kite, it was actually interrogation.

"Wan'er, the wind is about to rain, the kite can't be flowned, I want to hurry back to the inn, will I accompany you next time?"

"No, before I send the osmanthus cake, what are you plotting with the Fourth Highness, tell me honestly. ”

"It's nothing, it's just chatter. The nameless wry smile was reluctant to reveal, but Li Wan'er said confidently: "I-Li Wan'er is not only as beautiful as the Spring and Autumn Period, but also as wise as Zhuge Kongming, if you and the Fourth Highness are really conspiring with something, don't hide it anymore, I will give you two advice, and it will be smooth." ”

This sentence frightened Nameless and stunned, remembering that all kinds of absurd theories in the study were overturned, and his trust in Li Wan'er had greatly declined, so he said perfunctorily: "Okay, Wan'er will appear under the tree first." ”

"Why?"

"Don't ask, stop and don't move. ”

Nameless ordered Li Wan'er to stop, although his ankle hurt a little, he turned around without hesitation and left over the courtyard wall with light skills.

Li Wan'er was stunned, and when she hurriedly ran to the door of the mansion, there was a nameless figure fleeing in the distance.

"Nameless, you brazen!"

"Your Royal Highness, do you need us to chase him back?"

"A group of old bones don't chase after him, remember to buy the chain of the dog when he went to the market, I won't let him run away next time!"

At this moment, Li Wan'er has a strong desire to dominate.

——

There is a hidden small room in the study of King Ning's mansion, in which there is a disabled person hidden behind the curtain, his name is Lu Wei, his face is scarred and uneven, no eyeballs, no left legs, it looks hideous and terrifying, but it is calm and stable, and his hearing is sensitive.

"Uncle, our deal with Li Baitai is very serious, why do you take the risk of telling Nameless?"

Li Jian knelt on Lu Wei, they were uncles and nephews.

"Jian'er, Xiao Yan chose to be nameless, because he values his love and righteousness, and can take on heavy responsibilities, since he has successfully escorted him, he might as well tell the truth, if he really has different intentions, when he just mentioned the two letters, he would ask questions, but he didn't. ”

"Uncle, what are we going to do next?"

The small pavilion is airtight, with white walls on all sides, Li Jian knelt in front of the curtain, a wooden table and a pair of chess beside him, Lu Wei sat behind the curtain, a cup of warm tea and a dagger beside him, he was silent for a long time, and then said in a hoarse voice: "Don't worry, I just pondered the list of letters and felt that there was a problem." ”

"Uncle, could it be that Li Bai deceived us too much?"

"No, I have been in a relationship with him for a long time, and I have always had interests and have nothing to do with each other, this time, he framed Xiao Yan and killed Lin Xiang, just to protect himself and avoid the leakage of rumors, as for the letter is inappropriate, let me think about it slowly. ”

"Uncle, what about the person who killed Lin Yun'er?"

"It won't be the people of Yanguo, it's our people from the Northern Han Dynasty, as for who it is and which force, I still don't know. ”

Lu Wei didn't know what he said, but he guessed in his heart that the third party might be the power of the royal family and nobles, so he didn't care for the time being, he continued: "Jian'er, although I often teach you to pretend to be affectionate and righteous, but in fact to value interests, but Wan'er is always your own sister and needs to be treated sincerely, you know?"

"Uncle, did you arrange for her to go back to the Northern Han Dynasty, just to reunite her brother and sister?" Li Jian was cold in his words, and he was even more indifferent to his feelings, this kind of indifferent character is difficult to change, and it has penetrated deeply into the bone marrow and eroded his heart.

"No, Li Ang (the emperor) taboos and rejects you, because you are the prince and have the opportunity to fight for power, on the contrary, Wan'er is a princess, she can marry with all forces and consolidate the rule of the royal family, and furthermore, Li Ang and the Queen Mother treat Wan'er with special preference out of shame and self-blame. ”

"Uncle asked her to fight for power in the East Palace?"

"Well, take a place and say good things for you. ”

"But she seems to be very good with Nameless, are you afraid?"

Li Jian was still hesitant and worried, he always felt that Nameless's ability was insufficient and difficult to control, and he was afraid that he would be involved or even betrayed, but Lu Wei had expectations for Nameless, and said in a long and heavy voice: "Don't be afraid, we will definitely lose two important chess pieces (Lin Xiang and Xiao Yan), but in exchange for two new chess pieces (Nameless and Li Wan'er), we must slowly explore their abilities and usefulness." ”

"Uncle, in the eyes of you and me, Wan'er is a chess piece, this chess piece is definitely no problem, it is quite safe, but it is nameless, he can't stand in the Northern Han Dynasty at all, and even his own life is in danger, and he still doesn't know, how can he help us, it's a waste chess to keep it." ”

"Jian'er, don't you believe me!"

"Nephew didn't dare. ”

In the face of Lu Wei's reprimand, Li Jian bowed and admitted his mistake.

"I'll say it again, even if Wan'er is a chess piece, she is also your sister, and she is willing to pay for you!"

"Yes, my nephew understands. ”

Li Jian was silent, and Lu Wei talked about the old things.

"When the first emperor died of illness and passed on the throne to the emperor, his character was mediocre and cowardly, allowing hundreds of officials to form a party for profit and corrupt the dynasty. Empress Dowager Lu really couldn't stand it, so she had to listen to the government, assist him, reuse the virtuous ministers of the Lu family, and suppress the powerful ministers. ”

"The target of Empress Dowager Lu's suppression is Prime Minister Xu Liang, and the group headed by him has a deep foundation, and if it is not checked and balanced, it will definitely be a disaster. Xu Liang is a ruthless character and does not want to be suppressed, so he secretly colludes with Li Ang, the king of Yan, to launch a coup d'état, put the emperor under house arrest, and slaughter the Lu family. ”

Lu Wei mentioned the old thing, angry, and continued: "In order to show his determination and to curry favor with the Xu Liang group, Li Ang ruthlessly killed your mother Lu Zhi, and at the same time sent people to his in-laws' Lu Mansion to kill people and set fire, the whole family will be killed, and there is no one left, but I survived in the pile of corpses, and when I escaped the flames, I burned my entire face and burned my leg, and soon after, I was even blind in my eyes. ”

"Why didn't my father kill me and Wan'er?"

"At that time, Lu Zhi desperately blocked it, and my father and I immediately sent you two out of Luoyang for refuge, while Li Ang covered up the truth about the destruction of the Lu Mansion, pretending to be caused by a fire, and deceived the world. ”

"When Li Ang successfully ascended the throne, I entrusted someone to send you two back to Luoyang. Out of shame and self-blame, he will not rush to kill him, but there is a ghost in his heart, and he is always on guard against you, afraid that one day you will know the truth and will take revenge. ”

Lu Wei couldn't cry without eyes, but the grief in his heart was accumulating layer by layer, and the same hatred was also superimposed. Li Jian has heard the truth many times, but every time he asks again - why didn't he kill himself and his sister.

"Jian'er, you don't have to settle for the truth, you can't live like me, you have to fight for your own throne, so that your mother and grandfather will not die in vain. ”

"Uncle, I will definitely do it. ”

After Li Jian promised, he got up and left, the secret door of the small house was closed, the candle was extinguished, Lu Wei sat alone and laughed wildly, laughing and saying, "Thirteen years, thirteen years!"
