The Taoist priest chuckled a few times. He didn't know what he thought of, and his laughter became more and more unrestrained.

Yan Ruyu carried a knife: "Okay, stop laughing, Wu Lizheng, my master is too lazy to expose you and tease you, do you really think you can control the overall situation?"

The Taoist priest's smile suddenly stopped and he looked at Yan Ruyu. Through the mask, he could feel his unkind gaze.

Yan Ruyu looked at him without any fear: "Wu Lizheng, take off your mask. Aren't you bored?"

The Taoist priest stared at Yan Ruyu for a long time, then slowly raised his hand and took off the mask, revealing Wu Lixia's face.

Huo Changhe sneered: "It's really you."

The Taoist leader coldly snorted: "Okay, you are very smart, but so what? You haven't fallen into my trap. This formation is powerful, and I don't know how many lives it will take. If you don't want to die in this, just do it." Think about my conditions!”

Huo Changhe pointed the tip of his sword at the attic: "Let my wife go first, and then talk about anything else! You want to hold my wife and negotiate terms with me, it's just wishful thinking! My negotiation with you is indeed an unfair conversation. "

"That's because you are not qualified to talk to me on an equal footing. You are worthy of being a rabble, a gangster, and someone who behaves viciously!"

Wu Lizheng shouted angrily: "You!"

"It seems that you don't want to get out of here properly? Sir, don't think that because you are an official of the imperial court, I don't dare to touch you. You must have seen it, and those county magistrates and magistrates don't dare to make mistakes in front of me. . Sir, although you are the governor, no one knows you are here. If you die here, no one will doubt me."

Wu Lizheng flicked his fly whisk and said, "My lord, you should think carefully before speaking. Do you want to go back with your wife and continue to be your governor and live a good life, or would you rather die here silently and let your body rot slowly?" "

He looked back at Li Jingyao: "It would be a pity that my lady, with her beautiful face, died in the mountains. Why don't you wait until the governor dies and I find you another family? You can become a concubine or something, and you don't have to worry about having children anymore." Things are troublesome.”

Li Jingyao: "..." I really want to curse.

Yan Ruyu cleared her throat and reminded the two men not to get upset yet.

"My lord is the governor of a state, and you will kill him if you ask him to? If he dies, won't the court investigate? We are in private, and not many people know about it, but not everyone who knows is dead. The housekeepers and guards in the mansion You still know, is it possible that they won’t look for it?”

"Wu Lizheng, you are a little upright person, but you are indeed very courageous and admirable. But if you really want to kill the governor, I still don't believe it." Yan Ruyu paused for a moment, "Unless you have something else to rely on."

Hearing this, Wu Lizheng took another look at Yan Ruyu: "You, this young man, do have some knowledge. Yes, I do have something else to rely on."

Huo Changhe suppressed the anger in his heart: "Oh? Why don't you come and listen? It will also help me gain some knowledge."

Yan Ruyu continued: "You don't even dare to say it, do you? You can even say that you want to kill the assassin, but you don't dare to say that you have a backer? It's strange."

Wu Lizheng hummed: "You don't have to provoke me."

He cupped his hands in the direction of the capital: "I rely on the capital, and I am not a small person. Going there is just a temporary identity."

Huo Changhe's heart skipped a beat: "Beijing? You don't mean to say, Prince of the East Palace, do you?"

Wu Lizheng raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why not? The prince is the future emperor. The emperor is old, and the prince will ascend to the throne sooner or later. Everything in the world belongs to him. So, Governor Sun, do you think you can fight against His Highness the prince?" Let me tell you the truth, let alone you, so what if it’s the King of Zhennan? Or should I surrender obediently to His Highness the Crown Prince? If you are willing to cooperate and no longer care about these things, I can let you go. After all, I still have to stay here to run errands. Everyone Once alive, second time familiar. If you are not happy, then I am not afraid. After you die, King Zhennan will take over."

Li Jingyao looked at Huo Changhe.

Huo Changhe was baffled.

He takes over? What hand did he take? Why didn't he know?

Yan Ruyu disagreed: "Don't think we don't know that King Zhennan is going to be exiled. How can he care about the affairs here when he goes to the northwest?"

"The exile is a lie, but doing the errands for the prince is real," Wu Lizheng said truthfully. "His Royal Highness the prince said that it was he who manipulated the exile of King Zhennan. They have reached an agreement. King Zhennan is loyal to the prince. The prince If you have more wings than a tiger, why worry about failing to accomplish great things?"

Huo Changhe: "..." I really want to curse.

It was already miserable enough to be wrongly accused and exiled. Who would fabricate such lies and throw dirt on him?

With the prince's virtue, is he crazy? He will risk the innocence and comfortable life of everyone in the palace to cooperate with the prince in this drama?

Yan Ruyu observed Wu Lizheng's expression and saw that he didn't look like he was lying. For a moment, she really didn't know what to say.

This guy was probably deceived by the prince, and he really thought he was doing something for the prince and King Zhennan.

Yan Ruyu said in a low voice: "The emperor sent a group of people to look for some kind of dragon vein. The prince probably also wanted to find it. He secretly sent another group of people. The prince was afraid that his men would be suspicious and retreated in case of any danger, so he made up this story. A rhetoric."

Huo Changhe exhaled heavily, guessing the same.

Wu Lizheng saw the two of them talking in low voices, thinking that their minds were wavering, and smiled proudly.

"How about it, Lord Governor, as long as you promise to give up the investigation, everything will be easy to discuss."

Huo Changhe asked: "So, you are admitting that the disappearance of the villagers in Luojiazhuang is related to you."

Wu Lizheng did not hesitate: "Yes, indeed, they are here, but as I said just now, I still advise you to leave them alone."

When Huo Changhe asked this, there was nothing to worry about. The purpose of this trip was to rescue Li Jingyao and to find the whereabouts of the people in Luojiazhuang.

Now that both are present, we can talk about the others later.

"In that case, I have nothing else to say to you."

After Huo Changhe finished speaking, he looked behind him and shouted: "Do it!"

Before Wu Lizheng understood what was going on, he felt a strong wind coming from behind him. He quickly turned around and saw a figure appearing beside him. He had a premonition that something was not good, but it was already too late to fight back.

There was a pain in his lower back, and he threw himself forward. He fell like a kite with its string broken.

His skills were pretty good, and he would be able to stand still if he fell from such a height. It was nothing, but what happened was that the kick just now, when Li Jingyao's toe touched his big hole, made his lower limbs sore and numb, and he couldn't use any strength at all. , let alone straightening your back and landing smoothly in mid-air, even if you use force, it won't be used.

There was a "pop" sound, and it was so hard that it fell.

All this happened so fast that neither Bai Youliang nor the medicine delivery person beside Li Jingyao reacted.

When the two of them saw it, they were stunned.

"Ah!" the medicine delivery man exclaimed.

Li Jingyao was not polite and kicked him down.
