Brother is a heartless thing [Rebirth]

Dongjing's dungeon is damp and dark, the candle lamps on the wall dimly flickering, leading directly to the depths of the ground along the blue brick steps.

The jailer took Wen Xuan to a cell near the innermost side. The cell door here is made of airtight iron, with a special formation attached to it. People outside the formation can see the inside clearly through the formation. People inside can't see what's outside.

After the cell door opened, the jailer withdrew, and Wen Xuan set up a soundproof barrier around him, and walked in.

The cell was a bit dark, with no windows on all sides, only a simple candlestick on the table lit a dim candle, but the environment was spacious and clean. Although the bed, table and chairs were simple, they were all available.

Li Ruqi was lying on the bed with his legs crossed at this time, with his arms under his head. He opened his eyes and glanced at the door when he heard the movement. Not caring: "I knew you had to come."

"..."

"I've already said what I should say. If you don't believe me, then you should find a way to find out by yourself. You can't tell me about flowers if you ask me again. I don't have anything you want to hear here. The gate is there. , walk slowly and don’t send off.”

Wen Xuan turned a deaf ear, lightly lifted his white robe, sat down at the table facing him indifferently, and said, "I already believe that the evil formation in the blood cave has nothing to do with you. So this time, I mainly want to Ask about what happened at the inn that night."

"Is there anything else to ask?" Li Ruqi said impatiently, "I've said enough, since I reminded you not to listen, it's your business, don't bother me anymore."

Wen Xuan frowned slightly, "Remind what?"

Li Ruqi's face became more and more irritable, and he didn't even bother to look at him with his eyes closed, "What else can I remind? Remind you to be careful of that Mingwei on the top of the desolate."

"Master Mingwei?" Wen Xuan was startled, but didn't understand, "What do you mean?"

Li Ruqi raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes were probing and he said coldly: "What? The person who just left didn't tell you?"

Wen Xuan didn't speak, just looked at him closely.

Li Ruqi said impatiently and coldly: "The person who let me go that night was Ming Wei."

Wen Xuan's eyes widened suddenly, subconsciously unable to accept it, she frowned and said, "What did you say? How is this possible?!"

Li Ruqi's reaction to him was not at all as expected, he sneered sarcastically, and said lazily with a bit of coldness: "Look, I'll tell you that you don't believe it."

Wen Xuan said: "But he clearly still sent people to look for your whereabouts afterwards, even if he let you go at that time, what is the purpose?"

"How do I know what his purpose is?" Li Ruqi sneered.

Wen Xuan clenched her fingers secretly, "What happened that day? Tell me in detail again."

Li Ruqi rolled his eyes, as if he was extremely annoyed, he turned his eyes back to stare at the roof.

"Speak quickly."

"... Tsk." Li Ruqi suppressed his temper, gave him a cold glance, and said, "I told you, it was Mingwei who let me go that night. I was already asleep that night, But he suddenly appeared in the room. Not only did he break the rope for me inexplicably without saying a word, he also secretly pointed out the way to me, telling me how to leave Dongjing the fastest and which direction to take the shortest distance. I asked him Why did he let me go, and he didn't answer. I didn't want to listen to him, but he opened the window and threw me out, and then I couldn't do anything. Now that everything is out, I can't knock on the door and go back Right? So let's go."

Wen Xuan: "..."

Wen Xuan said: "If this is the case, then why were you arrested here?"

Li Ruqi sneered: "I'm not stupid. He pretended to be upright in front of you, but it's another way behind your back. He let me go in the middle of the night. Naturally, he had another purpose, but as for this purpose It’s hard to say what it is, how could I listen to him?”

"So then I thought about it. Rather than being in a dangerous situation, it would be better to stay in your cell in Dongjing than to be targeted by that duplicitous fake saint—otherwise, you think that if I didn't release the water on purpose, I would How could it be possible to be caught so easily?" As he spoke, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he looked at Wen Xuan sarcastically, and continued lazily, "After all, your Dongjing dungeon is nothing to me. , if I want to leave, I am afraid that the guards here will not be able to stop me, so I can come and go freely."

"..."

Wen Xuan didn't say a word about his arrogant words, but just thought about it, and said: "But you slept in Qingxuan Daojun's room that night, since you said that Wei Zhenren entered his room and told you Talking so much, and letting you go in the end, did Qing Xuandao-jun not notice such a series of things? What was he doing at that time?"

Mentioning this, Li Ruqi's expression changed, and he said, "He didn't wake up at all."

Wen Xuan's heart skipped a beat.

"Not awake?"

"Yes. I am also very puzzled about this, but I didn't pay attention to the situation at the time. I thought that the peak of the floating desolation was connected with each other, and Qingxuan and that Mingwei had colluded for a long time. But then I took a closer look. It was only after thinking about it that something was wrong, Qing Xuan Daoist didn't move at all at that time, and I'm not sure if he knew about it."

Li Ruqi finished speaking lightly, but the hairs on Wen Xuan's back stood on end. He felt chills in his heart, and he couldn't help secretly speculating whether what Li Ruqi said was true or false, and how credible was it?

Assuming that what he said is true, does that mean... Qing Xuandao was already dead at that time?

As for the real Mingwei, he already knew that Qingxuan Daojun was dead, but he pretended not to know, and played a play in front of him and Min Shao at dawn the next day?

Or even more frighteningly, Lord Qingxuan Dao didn't die at all, but was faked by Daoist Mingwei.Then Mingwei bluffed him and Min Shao, let Li Ruqi go, and blamed Qing Xuan Daojun's death on Li Ruqi, acting as if he hated Li Ruqi very much, and after doing all this, And revive Qingxuan Daojun again...

Wen Xuan suddenly felt terrified, but when he thought about it, he felt that it was really unbelievable.

According to logic, there is nothing wrong with his idea, but according to common sense, the problem seems to be too big.

Even if Master Mingwei is really double-faced, really intentionally blamed Li Ruqi, really put him and Min Shao together... What is the reason for him to do all this?What can he gain in the process of this matter?

Furthermore, Dong Jing just caught Li Ruqi and easily exposed all of this. Could this matter be so simple?

Could it be that Master Mingwei was certain that they would not believe Li Ruqi's words, that's why they acted so recklessly?

No.

impossible.

It can't be that simple.

Wen Xuan felt that the blood in his whole body was congealed for a moment, and his expression became stiff. Seeing that his expression was wrong, Li Ruqi couldn't help but become more serious, and asked, "What? Did something happen after I left?"

Wen Xuan was silent for a moment, and then said to him after a while: "After you left that day, we found out that Lord Qingxuan was dead. But early yesterday morning, Floating Desolation Peak sent a letter, saying... Qing Xuandao is safe and sound. It's all right."

Li Ruqi was taken aback, but then quickly reacted, and couldn't help laughing a few times, the wild and sarcastic face reflected in the drowsy candlelight.He sat up, curled the corners of his lips, and said coldly, "So, you all think that I killed Chu Mianfeng, don't you?"

Wen Xuan looked up at him and said, "No, we didn't think so."

"What about Mingwei?"

"He..." Wen Xuan paused.

At that time, Master Mingwei really looked like he was blinded by the situation and harbored hatred, but looking at it now...he didn't know whether Master Mingwei really lost his mind temporarily at that time, or it was a deliberate illusion.

Li Ruqi saw that he stopped, and the sarcasm on his lips deepened, and he continued: "He sent someone to find out my whereabouts, and why? To confront me? To accuse me? Or is it purely for the good of him? The play is complete?"

"Hahaha...that's ridiculous." Li Ruqi couldn't help clapping his palms, and said sarcastically with a smile, "As expected of the Grandmaster Daxiu at the top of the desolation, he even acted so wonderfully, it's really great."

"..."

Wen Xuan didn't know what to say.

He felt that everyone he believed now was wrong.

If Master Ming Wei really did what he said that day, and performed the play to the fullest without any flaws, then why couldn't Li Ruqi in front of him?

It's also a one-sided story. Now that there is no conclusive evidence, he can't believe anyone.

What's more, there was a murderer behind the scenes who had never shown up in the blood cave back then. It is still impossible to judge whether this incident has anything to do with that person.

Wen Xuan rubbed the center of his brows, and couldn't help sighing with a headache. After a while, he said: "Forget it, let's not mention this matter for now. I will find a way to investigate it later."

"But..." Wen Xuan said again, "Li Ruqi, there is something else, I want to talk to you again."

Li Ruqi was immediately alert when he heard the words, his eyes were a little bit more repulsive, and he raised his eyes to look at him, "You want to talk about Gu Jue again?"

Seeing that Wen Xuan didn't deny it, Li Ruqi slightly raised his jaw, showing a deliberate indifference, and said: "Didn't I say it last time, I don't have time, and I don't want to see him at all, you always mention this to me What are you doing?"

Seeing that he reacted so repulsively, Wen Xuan couldn't help but feel a little complicated, and asked, "Why don't you want to see him?"

"...Hehe, this is really interesting." Li Ruqi asked ridiculously, "What is my relationship with him, why do I have to go to see him? Your Highness Dongjing Sixth, you should investigate the case, or interfere less. For good, it's not your turn to take care of my affairs."

Seeing Wen Xuan's serious expression, looking at him for a moment, Li Ruqi narrowed his eyes, and said again: "What? Did he say something to you?"

Wen Xuan stared at him silently for a while, without any extra emotion on his cold and flawless face, and said lightly: "No, he never talked to me about the things between you."

"That's it." Li Ruqi snorted coldly, "You don't even count as an insider, so what else can you say?"

"But there is one thing—" Wen Xuan paused, then said calmly, "Li Ruqi, Gu Jue never told you, so you probably never knew about it."

Li Ruqi's dark eyes reflected the bright candlelight, he narrowed his eyes, and finally showed a trace of inquiry, staring at him and said: "What's the matter?"

"Gu Jue has a cold poison in his body, his life... is almost at the end."
