The room was silent.
After a long while, Lu Kuifang broke the silence and said, "You mean, it was Miss Ning who asked you to come?"
He looked coldly at the strange man in front of him, and said in a voice as cold as ice: "You'd better not play any tricks on me about this matter."
Luo Peng stared at Lu Kui for a moment, then suddenly chuckled, "If you don't believe me, why bother seeing me?"
His eyes fell on the jade hairpin that Lu Kui held tightly in his palm: "How dare I deceive Lord Lu. If Ning'er hadn't agreed and Han Guang hadn't told me, how could I have found this place?"
Lu Kui raised his eyes. He inexplicably smelled a hint of danger from this man: "Tell me your name, origin, background, and who is in your family first."
Luo Peng also glanced at him, and said, whether in a sarcastic or admiring manner, "Lord Lu is indeed an expert in criminal law." He smiled and said, "My name is Luo Peng. I have no wife or children, no official position, and I am just a commoner."
Lu Kui's eyes darkened: "Are you a member of the Luo family? What is your relationship with Luo Jurui?"
Although Luo Peng was in a lower position, he was not afraid of his power: "If in the eyes of outsiders, I should be considered his guest. But in my eyes." He shook his head.
Lu Kui stared at him: "You are a member of the Luo family, how can you win Ning'er's trust? Could it be that you lied to her and deceived her?"
Under the flickering candlelight, his handsome face looked even more intimidating.
Luo Peng showed no fear, but seemed to be thinking: "Ning'er believes me for a reason, but if Lord Lu wants to know the cause and effect, please explain it to me first."
He claimed that he was a commoner, but he bowed to Lu Kui like a scholar and said in a deep voice: "Luo Peng, may I ask you, sir, Han Guang is an extraordinary martial artist and has a good family background, why would you willingly bow down to a little girl? You are a noble and powerful person, sitting in a high position in the government, why would you be so angry because of a powerless orphan girl?"
"Lu Kui and Han Guang, what exactly do you want to do? Can you please tell me frankly?"
"Swish——" a silvery white light flashed past.
Lu Kui suddenly pulled out the knife and placed it on Luo Peng's neck. The blade was only a hair's breadth away, leaving a glaring bloody mark on his neck.
He stood up and said coldly: "You are so brave!"
Luo Peng blinked slightly and looked straight at Lu Kui: "Ning'er is just an orphan. Is there anything about her that is worth the trouble? Sir, can you tell me frankly?"
"Plot? What qualifications do you have to ask me this question?" Lu Kui laughed in anger: "I haven't even tried you, a man with ulterior motives, and you're asking me this question instead."
Blood flowed down the sharp blade, staining Luo Peng's front red, but he was unaware and did not retreat or give in: "My Lord, you are experienced in political schemes and understand people's hearts. If you have no ulterior motives, are you going to tell me that you came to help Ning'er because you were kind-hearted?"
He sneered, "Ning'er is simple-minded and trusts Lord Lu more than I do. If I don't ask her clearly today, I'm afraid that one day, she will be sold without knowing it."
Luo Peng suddenly felt a lightness on his shoulder. He looked up and saw Lu Kui suddenly put away his sword, took out a snow-white square towel, and slowly wiped the blood stains on the blade.
His face was slightly red, and a smile hung in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows: "You mean, Ning'er trusts me very much?"
Luo Peng was confused when he saw his expression change drastically in an instant and asked such a strange question. He was even more moody than the rumors said.
He suddenly realized that Lu Kui might really be a madman, and it is often impossible to reason with a madman.
He answered cautiously, "Ning'er does trust you, sir. If Luo hadn't begged her softly, she might not have let me come to see you."
Lu Kui glanced at him. Although the man's words were offensive, the implication was that he was worried that Ning'er would be deceived by others. Such thoughtfulness made Lu Kui more tolerant.
He was in a very good mood at this time: "Sit down. Are you concerned about Ning'er?"
Luo Peng didn't know what he meant, so he could only nod and say, "Yes."
Lu Kui waved his hand: "Don't be nervous. I won't kill you if you care about Ning'er. As for your question, I am not qualified to answer it."
He casually threw the blood-stained handkerchief to the ground, raised his sword, and held it up to the light several times to make sure it was as clean as new.
Lu Kui put down the knife: "You just need to know that when it comes to my love for Ning'er, I will only love her more than you do, not less. Even if I lose my life, I will never let her suffer even a little."
Luo Peng was shocked to see that he said such shocking words in such a calm tone, and said, "In this case, I am judging others by my own standards."
Lu Kui said as a matter of course: "That's right. Now you can tell me what the relationship between you and Ning'er is."
Luo Peng thought for a moment, still shook his head and said: "I am dull, please explain it to me, sir." He is not a girl who is ignorant of the world. The fact that Lu Kui can help him with all his strength shows that the power behind this is even beyond the capabilities of the Xinyuan Marquis Mansion.
Lu Kui said impatiently, "You are indeed dull. Ning'er would rather let a stranger come to me to bring a message, which shows that she is very anxious. And you are still entangled in these trivial matters and refuse to tell her directly. You have delayed her business. If it weren't for Ning'er's sake, the knife just now would not be as simple as shedding a few drops of blood."
Luo Peng remained silent. The situation in the Marquis' Mansion was critical. He had no idea how the situation would develop. However, Ning'er's safety was far more important than these things.
If he couldn't confirm that Lu Kui's intentions were reliable and foolproof, he couldn't trust Ning'er's life experience to him.
Luo Peng bowed deeply and said, "If you want to kill me, please let me be a clear-headed ghost."
Lu Kui narrowed his eyes: "You are really looking for death!"
He stood up and grabbed Luo Peng's collar, forcing him to look at him: "Are you sure you must get to the bottom of this?"
Luo Peng felt a sharp pain in his neck, and he gritted his teeth and said, "That's right."
"Okay, okay." Lu Kui said three "Okay" words in a row: "You are stubborn and stubborn. If that's the case, don't blame me for not reminding you. Some things, once you know them, there is no room for regret."
He let go of his hand, and coldly watched Luo Peng fall to the ground in a mess, and looked down at him: "Use your brain. I am the commander-in-chief of the Jinyi personal army, who can order me around?"
There is only one person in the whole world who can send Lu Kui.
A flash of lightning struck Luo Peng's mind. In a split second, he opened his eyes wide in disbelief: "You mean..."
It turns out that the master that Han Guang mentioned, the person behind Lu Kui, who secretly assisted Ning'er, was actually the current saint emperor, the supreme ruler!
Lu Kui folded his arms, his face gloomy: "Yes, it is just as you thought." He sneered: "Now you don't have to tell me, think about how to explain it when you see the emperor."
