The beautiful and powerful minister hooked up with the crazy emperor and couldn't escape

Lou Xinyu seemed frightened. After a while, he tried to probe: "This distinguished guest, I don't know who sent you here. I am willing to pay double. How about buying the knight instead of doing this order?"

"it is good."

Lou Xinyu couldn't believe it. How could this person be so easy to talk to?

"Fifty million taels, and I'll let you go."

What? Fifty million. Even if you chop Lou Xinyu into pieces and sell them by the pound, you still can’t get that much!

But now he is the fish and others are the butchers.

"Are you kidding me? Although Xitailou makes money, we can't afford 50 million. Please be merciful."

"Can't take it out? Then there's nothing I can do."

The man looked at Lou Xinyu indifferently. Just when he thought his life was hanging by a thread, a silver sword light blocked the sharp blade for him. Then the sword flew out again with the wind and hit the wall hard.

"Bring it here."

The moment Lou Xinyu was stunned, the box in his hand had already passed into the hands of the person opposite him.

The man fiddled with the box for a few times, and with a "tick", the box opened. What was revealed was not jade, but something even more outrageous.

The man slammed the box shut and threw it back to Lou Xinyu like trash.

"You really have special taste."

Lou Xinyu held the box and said with a shameless face, "Excuse me."

The man slapped Lou Xinyu's face with a long knife: "Where is the account book of Xitai Building?"

Lou Xinyu chuckled and pointed to a cabinet and said, "They are all in there. If you want to take them, please feel free to do so."

The man still stood in front of Lou Xinyu and did not look for the account book.

"I'm a little uncomfortable with the host suddenly being so sensible."

Lou Xinyu smiled calmly: "A man who knows the current situation is a hero. Life is more important."

"is it?"

The man seemed to raise the corner of his mouth slightly, and just when Lou Xinyu thought he was going to take the account book, the man turned around and pointed the knife at Lou Xinyu's chest.

"I'm talking about the real account book. You might as well think carefully about where it is."

Lou Xinyu's eyes flickered, and he lowered his eyes and said, "I have been running Xitai Tower for King Zhao for ten years, but King Zhao exiled me. King Zhao betrayed me, do you think I will still hide those account books for King Zhao?"

"Who knows? But I advise you to tell the truth."

"Ah--"

The man snorted disdainfully, then turned the handle of the knife 90 degrees, slammed Lou Xinyu to the ground, stepped on his chest with one foot, and pointed the tip of the knife at his forehead.

Lou Xinyu felt a sharp pain in his chest, and the box in his arms fell to the ground and rolled everywhere.

"My patience is limited, you'd better be more sensible."

There was a sharp blade in front of him, and a murderous gaze that was sharper than the blade. Lou Xinyu had no doubt. If his answer did not satisfy the person in front of him, the blade would mercilessly pierce his head.

Lou Xinyu closed his eyes, and after a while he opened them resignedly and said, "I really didn't lie to you, you are my hero. All the account books are in that cabinet. You will know once you open it."

The man raised his foot and stepped back. Lou Xinyu felt a sweet and fishy taste in his throat and tasted rust in his mouth. Warm blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. Lou Xinyu couldn't say a word and could only look at the man with a pleading look.

After meeting his gaze, the man seemed to be enraged, and the room was instantly filled with murderous intent.

"So, the host also has this kind of look in his eyes?"

Lou Xinyu suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with horror: "You are here for revenge!"

"Yes and no."

"Lou Xinyu, have you been able to sleep well this year after doing those unspeakable evil things?"

Lou Xinyu smiled at the man and said, "I don't want to do that either, but he is in a high position and has great power, and I just want to stay alive. He is a prince, and I am just a pawn in his hands that he can discard at any time."

"Oh, you are really good at making excuses. Save these words for those who have died at your hands and see if they will believe it."

This man was not joking, he really wanted to kill him, but well, this was not the first time he had encountered such a situation.

Before the blade fell, a needle had already pierced the man's ankle. Finally, the tip of the knife stopped on Lou Xinyu's forehead, and a drop of blood dyed the sharp blade red.

"Poison needle?"

Lou Xinyu looked directly at the man and said, "This is a specially made poison needle. If there is no antidote, it will be a very painful death."

"Oh~, let's see which is faster, your poison or my knife."

Lou Xinyu didn't see any emotion on that person's face, fear, terror, anger, none of that. He was still cold and expressionless.

The pain was getting worse and worse, and Lou Xinyu couldn't help but panic. If the poison didn't take effect before this man killed himself, then he would be -

Lou Xinyu became more and more frightened. In an instant, nothing existed in his mind, his pupils dilated, and he could see nothing.

A drop of warm liquid dripped onto Lou Xinyu's face. He focused his eyes and found that the knife had stopped. A pair of hands held the blade and stopped it from moving forward. The warmth dripping onto his face was the blood from the hands that were cut by the blade.

Lou Xinyu looked up and saw a familiar yet disheveled man, with scars all over his face and body, but he was tightly holding the knife that could cost him his life.

"No, don't kill him."

The man's voice was still cold: "But you can't stop me."

Zhu Feng smiled sadly: "I know, I can give you all my assets, can you please let the host go? If you must kill someone, then kill me."

The man seemed stunned for a moment, as if he had heard something unbelievable, and his eyes glanced back and forth between Zhu Feng and Lou Xinyu.

"I remember you weren't like this before."

It was a seemingly true sentence, but Lou Xinyu was sure that it was not directed at him. This person knew Zhufeng.

The man put away the knife, sat on a chair nearby, and continued, "Five years ago, you were a killer who robbed the rich and gave to the poor, so I spared you this time."

Zhu Feng suddenly raised his head and looked at the ordinary-looking man in guard uniform: "You are that gentleman!"

The man nodded: "With your personality, you would never help such a person, so why are you willing to help him? Isn't he the kind of person you hate the most?"

Zhu Feng smiled bitterly: "Indeed, but the host has done Zhu Feng a great favor. He found Zhu Feng's sister and made that scumbag get the punishment he deserved."

"You have been helping this man to do evil because of your sister?"

"Yes."

"He held your sister hostage?"

Zhu Feng shook his head: "No, my sister has left Jiangning Mansion and is not controlled by anyone. I go to see my sister once a month and she is living a good life."

"Have you ever thought that you have been deceived by this evil man?"
