Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

In addition to collecting the bodies, the guards also wanted to avenge the Marquis. Yes, no one thought that Xu Huaiyi could walk out of that door alive.

After all, the other party's purpose is too obvious. Since he can't deal with the Marquis, he uses the young master to threaten him. If he doesn't fall into the trap, the young master will be the one who dies. Afterwards, the Marquis will avenge the young master. If he falls into the trap, the Marquis will be the one who loses his life.

In short, what is being gambled is Xu Huaiyi's fatherly love for his son.

Obviously, the enemy won the gamble.

After going to so much trouble to capture the Marquis, how could we let him live?

That must be impossible!

The scenes imagined by the guards were similar. Xu Huaiyi was first severely humiliated and tortured by the enemy, and might even be tortured into confessing, and then brutally killed. In the end, what was left to them might not even be a complete body.

The more they thought about it, the more miserable they felt. Many people had red eyes and shed silent tears.

But before they came, the Marquis ordered them that once the hostages were successfully exchanged, they were not allowed to take any further action and had to wait for his orders.

If not for this, they would have rushed in and fought the other side to the death.

Right now, all I can do is wait heartbreakingly.

No one could have imagined that in the main hall of that dilapidated courtyard, no bloodshed occurred, and the atmosphere was even barely harmonious.

In addition, Xu Huaiyi had his hands tied, making it a little difficult for him to move.

However, he looked very calm and composed. He did not show any fear of being a prisoner, nor any despair that his life was about to be lost.

It's like coming for a simple meeting.

This puzzled Li Sheng, the former Marquis of Changle. He sat upright in his chair and said in a complicated tone, "As expected of the Marquis of Jingning, this kind of character is rare in the world..."

Xu Huaiyi's hands were tied behind his back, and he moved his arms a little uncomfortably, and responded casually, "Lord Li, you are too polite. I dare not show off my shallow thoughts in front of you. If we talk about the strong character, it's you!"

Hearing this, Li Sheng laughed out loud, "You really do know everything. That's right, that's right. When I heard those rumors about you before, I just thought they were exaggerated and didn't take them too seriously. Now that I think about it, I really regret it..."

At this point, the smile on his face had long disappeared, and his eyes were full of coldness. "I should have gotten rid of you long ago. At that time, you were just a small rich man who had just made some money from the Su family. It was really easy to kill you quietly. Unfortunately, once you became arrogant and underestimated the enemy, you raised a tiger to harm me, and eventually destroyed my family!"

The last sentence was squeezed out with blood and tears, and the look in Xu Huaiyi's eyes was so vicious that it seemed as if he would pounce on him and eat him at any time.

The timid ones would be trembling with fear and kneeling down to beg for mercy.

Xu Huaiyi remained expressionless, only curling the corner of his mouth in sarcasm.

Seeing this, Li Sheng sneered, "Am I wrong?"

Xu Huaiyi said, "How could it be wrong? It's absolutely wrong. I don't even know which one to complain about first."

Li Sheng subconsciously asked, "You are not stalling for time, are you? Are you still counting on someone to save you?"

Xu Huaiyi rolled his eyes. "You have me in your hands. What's the point of stalling for time? If you want to kill me, it would only take a few minutes. Why should I let others die with me?"

Li Sheng was stunned for a moment, "Are you not afraid of death at all?"

Xu Huaiyi said, "Who wouldn't be afraid of death? But didn't you kidnap my son in a despicable way? If you hadn't threatened me with him, would I have come here to die? I'm not crazy. Try someone else and see if I would risk my life to save him!"

"Lord Xu is such a good father..."

"I don't deserve it. Any normal father would make the same choice as me."

Li Sheng shook his head, "That may not be the case. If you lose your son, you can have another one, but if you lose your own life, that's it. From this point of view, Lord Xu is indeed loyal and righteous, but he is too emotional, so he will never achieve great things."

Xu Huaiyi said, "I just want to have a clear conscience. It doesn't matter whether I am great or not."

Li Sheng was silent. He had been hiding from place to place during this period, and with the blow of losing all his relatives, he looked old and haggard, and had lost his former glory. Only his eyes were still sharp, flashing with a stinging light.

Xu Huaiyi let him explore.

After a while, Li Sheng saw that he did not look fake, so he sighed and said, "Perhaps it is because Lord Xu has such a unique determination that he can become rich and be appointed as a marquis in just a few years."

After saying that, he brought the topic back to the topic, "You just said it was totally wrong, what exactly was wrong with it?"

Xu Huaiyi said nonchalantly, "First of all, you said that I was a small rich man who made money by relying on the Su family, and it was easy to kill me. This is not true. In your eyes, I got rich by relying on the Su family, right?"

"Is not it?"

"Of course not. It's my win-win cooperation with Su Zhe. We have achieved each other. There is no such thing as one clinging to the other. In business, we are what we are. Privately, we are still classmates and friends.

Besides, at that time, I had already been admitted to Jingwu Academy and had become a disciple of a master. With the support of my master, how could you have dared to attack me so recklessly?"

Li Sheng said nothing.

Xu Huaiyi said meaningfully, "I think, with your ability, you can guess my master's identity. He is not just backed by a century-old family like the Sun family. As his first disciple, my status is self-evident. If I die, my master will definitely track me down and avenge me.

You were already working for the King of Chu at that time, right? You couldn't stand the Master's investigation, so you didn't kill me at that time. First, I was really a nobody, you didn't think I was a threat to you, and second, and most importantly, you didn't want to cause trouble and cause trouble for the King of Chu, right? "

Li Sheng had nothing to deny now, so he nodded and said, "Yes, you are right, so I regret it now. If I could go back in time, I would get rid of you even at the risk of being exposed."

Xu Huaiyi snorted, "I'm not trying to discourage you. Even if you took action at that time, you wouldn't have succeeded."

Hearing this, Li Sheng couldn't help but narrow his eyes, "Is Lord Xu too arrogant and frivolous?"

Xu Huaiyi was speechless, "I am arrogant and frivolous? It's obviously you who is arrogant and frivolous, right?

Didn't you check me?

I led a village of people and walked safely from Qingzhou to the capital. You don't think it was all due to luck, do you?

Since ancient times, only one in ten people who escape famine survives. But in our team, even the babies in their arms and the elderly who needed help to walk survived.

What did we rely on? Of course, it was our strength. Along the way, we encountered arrogant and domineering wealthy merchants, fought wits and courage with difficult officials, and fought against mountain bandits who robbed on the road. Oh, yes, we also killed a group of wild wolves..."

At this point, he changed the subject, smiling, "Lord Li should be familiar with that place. The whole village was burned down by a fire, and we stayed there for a few days to repair it. Speaking of which, we are really destined to be together."

Li Sheng actually echoed the sentiment, "Indeed, we have been destined to be together for a long time, but unfortunately, I never realized it..."

Xu Huaiyi sneered, "The net of heaven is vast and nothing can escape it. Sooner or later, the evil deeds will be exposed to the world, and the evildoers will eventually be punished."

Li Sheng did not comment, but instead urged him to continue what he had just said.

Xu Huaiyi said unhappily, "What else is there to say? Don't you understand yet? I have the ability to protect myself. It's not that easy to kill me."

Li Sheng mocked, "But now, aren't you still in my hands? Life and death are all in my hands, how about your ability to protect yourself?"

Xu Huaiyi said, "Am I not still alive and well?"

"You think I don't dare to kill you?"

"You dare, but you can't kill him."

"Are you really so arrogant? Do you know how many people are stationed around this room? Even without them, your hands are tied now, and I can kill you alone!"

"You can try!"

Li Sheng really wanted to attack, but his fists were clenched. Then he thought of something and forced himself to suppress his bloodthirsty thoughts. However, the look in his eyes when he looked at Xu Huaiyi became more vicious.

Xu Huaiyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the result of his test was the same as he guessed. Li Sheng captured him not just to kill him, but for other purposes.
