The Grandmaster Strategist

After the princess entered Yong, she guarded Yanmen for twenty years and repeatedly led her troops into the barbarian lands to plunder the enemy. The barbarians were so heartbroken that they called her Blood Rakshasa.

The princess's honorary guest, Wang Ji, was originally from Chu. He lost his parents and lived in Jianye. He joined Jiang Zhe's family and was listed as the first of the eight horses. Later, he was ordered by Zhe to go to the barbarian to explore the military situation. He became famous in the frontier with his reputation as Bole's miraculous doctor. He met the princess by chance. In Daizhou, I fell in love with the East China Sea, but I regretted that each one was his master, and the phoenix and the luan were floating in the air. After the princess fought a bloody battle in Yanmen, Ji heard about it and cried to Zhe, begging to go to Daizhou to die together. Zhe had no choice but to agree, so Ji left the Qingyun Road and went to Yanmen to help the princess guard the pass. Yanmen is about to be broken, Yuanting feels crazy, and promises to be the princess in front of the battle. After the princess came to Yong, Ji was ordered to help guard Yanmen and became the deputy of the princess.

At the beginning, the master had not come out, and some people might have asked Ji to take a concubine to carry on the family line, but Ji would not allow it, saying, "I have no relatives, so I don't have to worry about losing the lineage." The Lord burst into tears upon hearing this, and couldn't bear the fact that the Wang family had no heirs, so he personally selected a good daughter. Ji left angrily and did not return for half a month, but the Lord stopped.

——"The Biography of Princess Hongxia in Yongshi"

The willows in Baqiao are like smoke, and pedestrians are heartbroken. The officials who saw them off have already left. In the pavilion, Lin Bi still holds her sister's hand and whispers, saying goodbye. I don't know when we will see each other again. Lin Bi knows that she will live forever. He will never have the chance to return to his hometown and never see the beauty of Yanmen again, so he is even more worried about the young sister who will inherit his legacy. Outside the pavilion, Chi Jizheng was whispering to King Qi, and they had a tacit understanding to leave space for the Lin sisters to say goodbye. Li Lin and several other brothers stood aside and stood with their hands solemnly. There was no room for them to talk in this situation. Lu Yun stood behind Li Lin and carefully looked at those long-famous figures. He had already met Lin Tong and Chi Ji, and he felt admiration for King Qi's boldness and heartiness and Lin Bi's grace and majesty. Naturally, he didn't know that the King of Qi seven years ago was a sharp sword with cold light and uncontrollable murderous intent, hurting others and himself. But today, the sword has been hidden in the box. Although the sharpness is not reduced, it is More unpredictable and profound.

In the pavilion, Lin Bi whispered: "Tong'er, you have to be careful. In the past few years, you have gone deep into the barbaric land many times. It is too dangerous. You are the commander-in-chief of Daizhou. If you make a mistake that will have a great impact, you should let him go." The younger generation has led more troops. I heard that you often quarrel with your brother-in-law, which is not good. Although he is your lieutenant, he is still your husband-in-law after all, and he is Jianghou's confidant. Don't have any bad feelings with him, and , you and your brother-in-law have been married for many years and still have no heirs. Even the queen has asked about this matter, what are you and your husband going to do? If you listen to me, it is better to take a concubine for him. "

Lin Tong glanced at Chi Ji and said in a low voice: "Sister, Ji Lang and I are just used to quarreling. If we don't quarrel for a few days, I will feel uncomfortable all over. Don't think that I am fierce. It's obvious that he has changed his ways. He likes to make me angry. When we came to Beijing this time, Ji Lang asked Mr. Hou to check our pulse. Mr. Hou said that there is no problem with us. We have no heirs or it is God's will. In fact, I also asked Ji Lang what he meant, but Ji Lang He said he had no relatives and was not worried about being unfilial to have no heirs, so I was willing to be a little bit more aggrieved and let him take a concubine, and even made arrangements for him, but he refused and even sulked with me for half a month."

Lin Bi couldn't help but smile after hearing this. She glanced at Chi Ji out of the corner of her eye and said, "Brother-in-law is also a very affectionate person. No wonder he was willing to accompany you to death. That's all. I don't care about your affairs, as long as you and your husband are harmonious." , I feel relieved."

Lin Tong said worriedly: "Sister, when I came to Chang'an this time, I saw that Mr. Jiang always seemed to be trembling in front of you. It's not you who makes things difficult for him. Isn't this not good? Mr. Jiang is the benefactor of Ji Lang. Lord, this person is very scary. You see, Ji Lang has only been with him for a few years, but he is so difficult to deal with. Do you still resent him for planning to kill your brother-in-law in the past? No, General Long."

Lin Bi smiled faintly, her eyes were calm and peaceful, and she said softly: "There is so much hatred between the two countries in the war. Li Xian personally forced Ting Fei to death. I no longer hold any hatred, let alone Jiang Hou. If he is afraid of me, , but you have misunderstood. He is not afraid of the master of Fengyi Sect and the master of Mo Sect. I am a defeated general. What is there to be afraid of? This man's temperament is like this. The closer he is to the people, the more he likes to bully him. ,

You see he always bullies children like Rou Lan and Lin'er. Do you think Jiang Hou really hates them? Since he doesn't dare to bully me in front of me, he is naturally afraid of me. This person has such an awkward and weird temperament. The more people he valued, the less he knew how to get along with them. I'm afraid only Princess Changle and Evil Shadow Li Shun in this world can see his truest side. "

Lin Tong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he couldn't help but laugh when he remembered Wang Ji's mention of the past where he always suffered in front of Jiang Zhe. His sister was really perceptive and could see through the unpredictable man at a glance. He is just a shy person who is not good at showing his true feelings.

While the sisters were holding hands and whispering, smoke was billowing in the distance and horse hooves were thundering. However, more than a dozen horses were coming from Juechen. Everyone looked up and saw that the two leaders were wearing green clothes and yellow clothes. Huo Cong and Rou Lan came with their guards to see them off.

Lin Tong smiled, she also liked Roulan very much, and just now she was complaining that this girl was ruthless and didn't come to see her off. With a smile, she walked out of the pavilion and waved: "Lanlan, why do you still remember to see me off. "

Roulan reined in her horse, dismounted and ran over, hugged Lin Tong's neck and said: "Aunt Tong, you are so heartless. I was summoned by the Queen Mother to accompany her. If I hadn't remembered you, I would have left today. , please let me come out of the palace to see you off, I am still watching a play in Changle Palace."

Lin Tong stretched out two fingers to pinch the tender blue and snow-white cheeks, and said with a smile: "You are the only one who can find excuses. Don't you think I don't know? Your princess mother-in-law has been staying with the Queen Mother in the palace these days. Why don't you see me?" Dad, Ji Lang was going to say goodbye to your father this time, but he didn’t even see him. Why couldn’t he be seen after the Emperor’s birthday party?”

Roulan broke away from Lin Tong's fingers and said softly: "I don't know this. Daddy is not at home, so it's too late for me to rejoice. Brother Huo, you must know, right? Daddy treats you better than me and Shen'er." Better.”

Lin Tong glanced at Huo Cong. Although this young man was ordinary, Lin Tong somehow felt that she did not dare to be presumptuous in front of him. Perhaps it was his peaceful and tranquil temperament that made people reluctant to be rude. She smiled and asked: "Master Huo, do you know where your husband is? Ji Lang originally wanted to say goodbye in person, but I don't know when he will be able to come back to Chang'an again."

Huo Cong saluted and said, "Your Majesty, my husband returned from a banquet in the palace the day before yesterday and went to Nanshan Bieye. It seems that he has something to deal with. He asked me to see off the Princess and Senior Brother Chi Ji for him."

Lin Tong sighed in disappointment, stopped asking, and hid among the guards. Lu Yun, who couldn't help but look at Rou Lan, felt something in his heart. Nanshan Bieye, Jiang Zhe went to Nanshan Bieye, that is, he was not there. In the imperial city, I don’t know if there will be fewer guards around me. Maybe I will have a chance to assassinate him, but I don’t know where the other industry is, and I don’t know if I can get away to find it. Besides, that person must be protected by guards. There is also the evil figure Li Shun on the side, so it may be difficult to succeed.

At this time, Chi Ji walked up to Huo Cong and whispered: "Junior brother, please tell Master something. I saw that the guard newly taken in by Prince Jia looks a bit like the same person. Although I think it is unlikely, I still have to tell him something. Please report it."

Huo Cong remained calm, smiling and listening attentively, as if what Chi Ji was talking to him was just trivial matters, but he said: "Sir, you already know about this matter, senior brother, don't worry about it, sir, he said, before he leaves, senior brother, You can tell the princess about General Duan, I think the princess also wants to meet General Duan again."

Chi Ji's heart moved when he heard this. He was not surprised that Jiang Zhe already knew about the Nanchu boy. This boy's appearance was about 40% similar to Lu Can's. He was proficient in archery and his arms were extremely powerful. It was him. Suspicion also arose, Jiang Zhe would definitely be suspicious if he saw it. But when he told Lin Bi about Duan Wudi, he was worried that his husband was planning to set someone up again. If it were someone else, he might just help cover that person's eyes, but Lin Bi was Lin Tong's sister, so he was a little worried about the consequences.

Seeing this, Huo Cong smiled and said: "Brother, don't worry, sir, you also have good intentions. I hope the princess can persuade General Duan to serve the court."

Chi Ji felt relieved and said: "I know, junior brother, when I came here this time, I saw that my husband favored you. I was envious and jealous. If you have the blessing to stay with your husband, you must take the place of us unscrupulous people." Disciples serve with all their heart.”

Huo Cong nodded in agreement, but there was a hint of melancholy in his heart. His teacher's kindness was like a mountain, and his husband treated him so well, but he had to hide his feelings and deceive him. If one day that matter was leaked, what would he do? , Unless there is blood splashing in the cold garden, there is no joy in life.

No matter how reluctant they were to leave, Lin Tong and Chi Ji finally embarked on the journey. Looking at their retreating figures, Li Xian walked to his beloved wife who was in tears and said: "Bier, go back, it will be two years at most." , just let them go to Beijing to report on their work."

Lin Bi said sadly: "It's nothing. You don't have to worry. It's only a matter of time before the sisters are separated. I'm just a little sad that I can't go back and see."

Li Xian was silent, he couldn't help with this matter, and there were some things he couldn't do anything about. For example, he gave up military power in exchange for marrying Lin Bi. Lin Bi wanted the safety of the Liu family and the Lin family, so she had no choice but to give up and return to Daizhou. expect. Seeing him like this, Lin Bi smiled and said: "Actually, it's nothing. Chang'an is also very good. Besides, with you and the baby here, it's not home. But if you marry me, the sacrifice will be a bit bigger."

Seeing her relief, Li Xian smiled and said: "The lonely king doesn't love the country and loves the beauty. What's wrong with that?" Lin Bi's face turned red and she was about to turn away, but Li Xian held her waist and refused to let go. Yitian never regretted her decision to give up the man who made her heart beat. Thinking of the news that Chi Ji secretly told him just now, maybe he should go and see Duan Wudi. There should be no need to worry about the past. Even if he fell into Jiang Zhe's trap again, he could make a loyal man who cares about the people and the country. It's worth it if you don't end up in the world.

Li Xian and Lin Bi were very affectionate here, but the sons of King Qi were very embarrassed. They all lowered their heads and said nothing. Except for Li Lin, none of the other princes had a similar personality to Li Xian. In the past, Li Xian They ignored them and were only afraid of Li Xian. It was not until Lin Bi joined Prince Qi's palace that he reestablished family rules and took good care of these concubines. These young men naturally respected Lin Bi very much. Of course She didn't dare to see Li Xian belittle her. Li Lin was brave and turned away and coughed heavily. Lin Bi was startled and quickly pushed Li Xian away.

Li Xian had no choice but to let go of his hand, looked at his sons, and said, "You all can go back on your own." Then he glared at Li Lin fiercely, took Lin Bi's arm and got in the car and left.

Li Lin cried sadly. He had good intentions, but he had offended his father. After returning home, his father would probably find an excuse to drag him to the school grounds. Thinking that he would probably be in pain all over his body tonight and find it difficult to sleep, Li Lin's mood would certainly not improve. , his brothers gave him a self-seeking look, and they all mounted their horses and left.

At this time, Huo Cong said with a smile: "Your Majesty, my husband and princess are not at home these days. How about you come over and stay for a few days?"

Li Lin was overjoyed when he heard this and said quickly: "Okay, okay, thank you very much, Brother Huo."

Lu Yun's eyes flashed with joy, he didn't expect to have the opportunity to enter Jiang Zhe's mansion so soon. Although Jiang Zhe is not here now, it is still a gain, isn't it?

He didn't realize that Huo Cong's eyes stayed on him for a moment when he invited Li Lin. Naturally, he didn't know that the document investigating his life experience was forged by Huo Cong and sent to Li Lin through Si Wencao. Lin's hand, otherwise how could there be such a coincidence in the world? There really is a Yun Erlang.

The next morning, when Lu Yun opened his eyes, it was already broad daylight. He couldn't help but be very surprised. Yesterday he followed Li Lin to Jiang Zhe's house. Li Lin lived in Qifengxuan. As Li Lin's bodyguard, he naturally It is said that Jiang Zhe's mansion was originally the latent residence of King Yong. In Lu Yun's opinion, although it was also gorgeous and quiet, it was much smaller than Prince Qi's mansion and did not have as many pavilions. Being in the enemy's territory, he originally thought that it would be difficult for him to sleep last night, but unexpectedly, he had no dreams all night, which was really puzzling to him.

When he walked out of the room, he saw Li Lin practicing his sword in the courtyard, accompanied by several guards. Lu Yun blushed and stood aside. After Li Lin practiced his sword, he stepped forward and apologized: "My subordinate accidentally fell asleep." This is too much, please forgive me, Your Highness."

Li Lin smiled and said: "This is your first time here, so you may not be used to it. I will stay here sometimes, and you will get used to it in the future. Okay, come with me to Hanyuan, Brother Huo asked us Go to his place and have breakfast together."

Lu Yun's eyebrows twitched and he couldn't help but said: "My subordinates heard in Southern Chu that Hanyuan was where the Marquis of Chu planned his strategies. I didn't expect that it had already been given to Young Master Huo to live in."

Li Lin suddenly smiled mysteriously and said: "You are wrong. Hanyuan is still my uncle's residence. Although my uncle now lives in the inner house, he still lives in Hanyuan for more than ten days a month. , and it’s also my uncle’s study there, I don’t know how many strategies were drawn up there, even if the emperor’s uncle wants to ask my uncle for advice, it’s also in Hanyuan.”

Lu Yun was a little confused. Huo Cong obviously lived in Hanyuan. He now knew that the young man in green was Jiang Zhe's disciple and one of the young masters. How could he not have his own independent residence? With many doubts, Lu Yun followed Li Lin to Hanyuan. He paid careful attention along the way. As expected, all the guards in Jiang Zhe's residence were very unobtrusive. The defense was much tighter than that of Prince Qi's residence. It was really difficult to assassinate them.

Walking to the entrance of Hanyuan, Li Lin asked the other guards to go down to rest, and pulled Lu Yun to say: "You are different from them. I will treat you as a friend. Come in with me."

Lu Yun's heart warmed up. He naturally knew that Li Lin treated him differently and was more of a friend than a subordinate. However, as he was about to enter a place where Jiang Zhe often hung out, he was very nervous and did not bother to appreciate Li Lin. Lin's intention.

As soon as he walked into Hanyuan, Lu Yun was stunned. The quietness and desolation inside reminded him of his father's study, which was also so deserted. Even the bright spring light seemed to lose some of its color here. Outside, The contrast between the tight security and the depression and desolation inside is really sharp. But what made Lu Yun even more strange was that under the rising sun, Huo Cong, dressed in commoners, was pruning flowers and trees. He was so conscientious and conscientious that he didn't even notice people like him coming in.

Li Lin stepped forward and shouted: "Brother Huo, you haven't finished the work yet. The breakfast is not ready yet. This is Yunlu. Brother Huo, remember. I brought him here this time, and I also asked Roulan to Meet him and know that I didn’t bully him.”

Huo Cong raised his head when he heard the words, showed a faint smile, put down the flower scissors in his hand, patted the soil on them, and said: "I heard from the county prince that you have taken up a position with him. Although it was probably the county prince who forced you, you Don’t blame him, he also means well.”

Lu Yun said quickly: "It's not because of the prince's pressure. It's not the end for Xiao Ke to live in Chang'an and not find his relatives. If he stays with the county prince, he can still have a place to stay."

Li Lin frowned and said: "Yun Lu, it turns out that this is what you were thinking. No wonder you stayed so easily that day. Did I ever get suspicious?"

Lu Yun felt relieved, thinking that Li Lin might doubt the reason why he stayed. After all, he behaved very unruly on the post road that day. It would be childish to give in so easily, so today he took the opportunity to make up for it, and it disappeared. Li Lin's suspicion.

A smile flashed in Huo Cong's eyes and he said: "I see, okay, Roulan will be here soon. You go to the flower hall and wait first, and I'll change clothes." After saying that, he turned around and walked away. Li Lin pulled Lu Yun walked to the flower hall and muttered: "That's the bad thing about Hanyuan. Servants are not allowed to serve. Fortunately, you don't have to go get breakfast yourself."

Lu Yun was confused and couldn't help but ask: "Master Huo likes to take care of flowers and trees. Why does he live here? Isn't this a military base?"

Li Lin smiled and said, "Do you know the identity of Brother Huo?"

Lu Yundao said: "I heard that Mr. Huo is the personal disciple of the Marquis."

Li Lin raised his index finger and said, "There's something you don't know. Brother Huo is also a servant of Hanyuan, responsible for taking care of the flowers and trees here."

Lu Yun was stunned and said after a long time: "But isn't Mr. Huo a disciple of the Marquis? Why does the Marquis still let him be a servant? This is a bit outrageous."

Li Lin smiled and said: "My uncle's temperament is so weird, that's why Brother Huo lives in Hanyuan, but he is not the owner of Hanyuan."

Lu Yun was still puzzled, and then a calm voice came to his ears: "This is sir's good intention. Sir, he often said that everyone should have their own place. The Jiang family does not keep useless people. Cong If you want to stay in the house, you have to work hard in exchange for room and board. Therefore, although Cong is under Mr.'s disciple, he still has to be a servant to make a living. However, there are always some benefits to becoming Mr.'s disciple. Hanyuan's work is not Others will do the heavy, time-consuming work, and I only have to take care of the flowers and trees.”

Lu Yun looked back and saw Huo Cong changing into a clean green shirt and standing at the door. The early morning sunlight reflected on his back, making Lu Yun feel that his face was a little blurry, but he could still see Huo Cong's calmness. A peaceful look.

He heard Huo Cong continue to say: "Some people regard it as a good talk to throw away power and wealth. Some people are of low status, but they are proud of their commoners and proud princes. However, my husband does not think so. He often says that wealth and power are not only rights and enjoyments, but also a kind of freedom." It is an unshirkable responsibility. Since you hold great power, you should fulfill your duties faithfully and live up to the love of heaven. If you are from a humble background and have a humble career, you should not feel humiliated. You should be content with it. As long as you have no regrets in your heart, you will live your life."

Lu Yun felt shaken in his heart. What kind of person could say these words? How could such a person betray his country for glory and let down his father. There was silence in the flower hall, and even Li Lin was thinking deeply about what Huo Cong said.

At this time, a girl's clear and sweet voice came from outside the door: "Brother Huo, Brother Lin, I'm here. Brother Lin, I heard that you brought Yun Lu over, right? Yun Lu, Brother Lin didn't force you, right?" As he spoke, Lu Yun felt his eyes light up. A girl wearing a goose-yellow shirt was standing at the door. She had smooth skin and beautiful appearance, especially those bright black eyes that kept turning around, making her People feel more and more that this girl is naughty and cute. She didn't have any excessive makeup. She just tied her hair with a gold ring. The gold ring looked like it was surrounded by flower branches, and the joints were made into a budding plum. With such a beauty and appearance, even though she was young, she already looked like a fairy. .

Lu Yun's heart trembled. When he saw Princess Zhaohua in women's clothing for the first time, he felt flustered in his heart, but there was also a hint of regret and sadness, and he was extremely depressed for a moment.

Huo Cong and Li Lin often saw Rou Lan's pretty appearance and were used to it. Li Lin complained: "Why don't you always believe me? I am not a bad person who forces others. Yun Lu stayed with me voluntarily."

Her soft blue eyes were full of hope, and she said, "Yun Lu, is that so?"

Lu Yun had also come to his senses at this time and bowed: "My subordinate is highly regarded by the prince, so he voluntarily stayed with the prince."

Rou Lan smiled sweetly and said, "That's good, Brother Huo, it's rare that dad is not here today, how about we play together after breakfast."

Li Lin said happily: "Okay, the prince won't invite me today. We just go out for a spring outing."

Huo Cong smiled and said, "You can go on a spring outing anytime, but my husband is not here, so why not have fun at the house? Wouldn't it be better?"

Li Lin and Roulan both nodded after hearing this. Roulan said: "Brother Huo is smarter. Let's go to Linbo Pavilion. Although there is no snow now, Linbo Pavilion is also good for flower viewing. It is inconvenient to go to Neizhaiyun Road. of."

Huo Cong nodded and said: "Linbo Pavilion is very good. Maybe you don't know that it was at Linbo Pavilion that my husband was enjoying the snow and composing poems, which overwhelmed all the staff of Prince Yong's Mansion. When I get there soon, I will write the poems that my husband and the others wrote that day." I have copied the poems for you to read.”

Although Roulan and Li Lin were young and playful, they were not ignorant of poetry and songs, not to mention Jiang Zhe's old affairs. Since Huo Cong wanted to tell them poetry, he would definitely tell them what happened that day. These things Jiang Zhe Zhe never told them about it, but he didn't hide it from Huo Cong. When they had the opportunity to learn about Jiang Zhe's past, both of them nodded. Even Lu Yun also yearned for it in his heart. At this moment, his hatred for Jiang Zhe unknowingly It has faded a lot, and I want to know more about his deeds. After all, in Nanchu, people rarely mention the rumors about Jiang Zhe except for scolding him.

The four of them ate breakfast in a hurry and went to Linbo Pavilion together. As expected, Huo Cong recorded the poems and explained them to the three young men, and also told them about the past. When they were in the middle of the conversation, a guard suddenly came. Report: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has urgently summoned you to the palace."

Both Rou Lan and Li Lin looked disappointed. Li Lin said helplessly: "After seeing it, I can only give up halfway today. Yun Lu can't follow me into the palace. Brother Huo, let him follow you first, and you can wait until I come back in the evening." Let’s talk about it later, okay?”

Huo Cong smiled and said, "You go ahead. The prince may have something urgent. I'll wait for you to come back before continuing. Anyway, sir, he won't be back until the day after."

After seeing off Li Lin, Roulan sat listlessly by the pavilion, looking at the lake in a daze, while Huo Cong took the chess table and started playing chess by himself. The atmosphere in the pavilion was a bit dull. Lu Yun wanted to say goodbye and leave, but he Somewhat reluctant. Seeing Lu Yun's bored expression, Huo Cong smiled and said: "The county prince is here just like his own home. Don't be restrained. In fact, you are still young, so you should read more books. Have you read the book of war?"

Lu Yun thought to himself that if I said I had read it, it would be a bit inconsistent with my status, so he said: "I haven't read it."

Huo Cong said: "Since you are following the prince, you will inevitably fight on the battlefield in the future. If you want to be a general, you must read the art of war. How about this? I will go back and get a book for you to read." After that, he turned and left. Only Roulan and Lu Yun were left in the pavilion. The nearby maids and guards had been sent away by Huo Cong, and the pavilion was silent.

Looking at Roulan's back, Lu Yun suddenly had evil thoughts in his heart. This was a good opportunity. He had the opportunity to take the life of Jiang Zhe's beloved daughter. Jiang Zhe had made his father extremely painful. If he killed Roulan, he would definitely make Jiang Zhe He was so miserable that instead of waiting for an assassination opportunity that might never come, the girl in front of him was a better choice.

Looking up and seeing no one around, Lu Yun finally couldn't hold back the killing intent in his heart. The hatred in his heart and the uncontrollable grievances he had felt for many days drove away the dim love in his heart. If there were no restrictions, even the kindest person would do it. Having evil thoughts.

Standing behind Roulan, he gently pulled out the dagger hidden in his boots, and was about to stab Roulan's vest. With just one sword strike, he could take the girl's life. Then he could wait for Huo Cong to come back and assassinate her in a sneak attack. After winning him, Huo Cong doesn't seem to know much about martial arts, and Roulan isn't very clever either. He should be able to succeed, and then he can leave here as a bodyguard of King Jiajun. As long as he arranges it properly, he won't be able to do anything until he leaves the imperial city. Someone found the body.

But when he stood behind Roulan, the girl's petite back made his heart soften. This sword could no longer penetrate. His enemy was Jiang Zhe. What did it have to do with this girl? Huo Cong was quite good to him. How can he repay kindness with hatred? Just when Lu Yun was hesitating, Rou Lan lost his balance for some reason, screamed, and fell into the water. Lu Yun was slightly startled, and saw that Rou Lan had fallen into the pool, while shouting He stretched out his hand and waved randomly while hoping for help. Her voice spread very far, and Lu Yun could see a figure flashing in the distance. It must be that the guards heard Roulan's cry for help and were rushing here.

Looking at the girl struggling in the water and calling for help, his heart trembled, and he jumped into the water with his clothes on. After a moment, he climbed up with Rou Lan in his arms. By this time, the guards had already arrived, and Lu Yun skillfully helped Rou Lan spit out the water in her belly. , Roulan woke up, hugged Huo Cong who had just arrived, and cried loudly. Huo Cong thanked Lu Yun and hurriedly walked to the inner house with Roulan in his arms. Looking at Rou Lan's pale face and messy clothes, Lu Yun didn't know what he felt in his heart. He rescued Rou Lan not to hide his eyes from others. When he jumped into the water, he didn't feel any regret at all, and his eyes fell to the ground. Lu Yun became more and more panicked because of the missing golden ring that bound his hair.

Of course he would not have thought that Huo Cong would carry Roulan into the back house and send her back to the bedroom. Just as he was about to ask the maid to come and wait on her, Roulan pulled his sleeve and said coldly: "Brother Huo, what are you doing?" What the hell, what’s going on with this Yunlu, why does he want to assassinate me.”

Huo Cong said calmly: "Does he want to kill you?"

Roulan said angrily: "I could clearly see from the reflection in the water that he wanted to stab me with a dagger from behind. I knew I was no match for him, so I pretended to have lost my footing and fell into the water, so that it would be inconvenient for him to attack, but I could call for help. You Don't say you don't know. How could Brother Jun go back on his word and send someone to summon Lindi into the palace? I don't believe there will be any major event involving Lindi at this time. You must be the one who got in the way and sent Lindi away on purpose. And Why did you leave him and me alone in Linbo Pavilion without even leaving a guard? This is not your style. The most important point is, who asked the maid to inform me that I was wearing gold lace clothes today? What do you have Don't tell me whether Yun Lu is a spy from Nanchu. If I hadn't been worried about his failed assassination and exposed his flaw, it might have ruined your plan. Why should I pretend to fall into the water? His dagger couldn't have pierced him anyway. Gold threaded garment.”

Huo Cong smiled slightly and said: "You don't need to ask about this. This is what Mr. Wang meant. In fact, I think Yun Lu is still ruthless. Besides, there are guards secretly protecting you. He will never let him succeed. Today Don’t tell anyone about it.”

Roulan was stunned. The look on Brother Huo's face at this moment was very similar to the way her father usually teased her. She shuddered and decided to sincerely sympathize with the young man who just wanted to kill her.
