It was already late at night, and the carriage passed through the silent street, making a gurgling sound.

Luo Ying leaned back in the carriage, drowsy. He took off his cloak and covered it on his chest. He held Xiao Junsai's hand stove in his hand. He looked very ill.He was not in good health, and became weaker after staying up all night.

Xiaojun was driving in front of the carriage, and beat the horse rhythmically with the whip in his hand, so that the carriage would run more smoothly and Luo Ying could rest more comfortably.

When he walked around the palace wall and entered the main street, Xiaojun suddenly saw a fire rising from the east of the city. The place was not far from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and this incident was probably unusual.

Xiaojun hurriedly stopped the carriage, attached to the curtain of the carriage and gently woke Luo Ying up.

"My lord, there is a fire in the east of the city. I don't know if it is the mansion of that lord."

Luo Ying opened her eyes, got up and lifted the curtain of the car to look at it for a moment, as if she suddenly remembered something, her face changed suddenly.

"Rush over there immediately, faster."

"Okay, my lord, sit still."

Xiaojun turned around and lashed the horse's butt with a heavy whip. The horse neighed and galloped quickly. The wheels ran over the gravel and the carriage swayed from side to side. Luo Ying could only hold the door frame with his hands to keep his balance.

The carriage was getting closer and closer to the place where the fire started, and Luo Ying's guess was confirmed.

A quarter of an hour later, the carriage stopped outside the Shi Lang's mansion, Luo Ying got out of the carriage with Xiao Jun's support, and immediately the President of the Royal Army came up to meet him.

"See your lord."

Luo Ying looked at the Shilang's Mansion surrounded by layers, with a displeased expression on his face. He only let these people guard the Shilang's Mansion, he didn't let them kill people and set fire to it.

"Commander Wang, what's going on?"

"Return to my lord, the emperor ordered us to eradicate the remnants of the Yin family."

Luo Ying's heart skipped a beat, but his expression was calm.

"When did this happen?"

"Just tonight."

Chu Yi had said earlier that he would use members of the Yin family to open the road to cultivating immortals. Luo Ying couldn't find a way to persuade him, so he had to put the matter on hold. Unexpectedly, just two days later, Chu Yi bypassed him and directly issued an order to the Imperial Forest Army .

Since Chu Yi gave the order, there is absolutely no possibility of changing his words. Luo Ying knows that there is nothing to be done, and he can only try his best to remedy it for the present.

"Commander Wang, what happened to the Yin family?"

"Returning to your lord, there are 130 people in the Yin family, including 110 servants and distant relatives, and 19 people from the master's family, including Yin Zheng's concubine. Now only the master's family is left."

Hearing that the members of the Yin family were still alive, Luo Ying felt relieved, and started to walk towards the mansion, but Commander Wang stopped him first.

Luo Ying's face darkened.

"Commander Wang, what does this mean?"

Commander Wang cupped his fists and bowed.

"Lord Luo, swords have no eyes, lest my subordinates accidentally injure you, you should wait outside the mansion."

"Alright."

Luo Ying actually nodded, then turned to look at Xiao Jun.

"Xiaojun, go in and have a look."

Xiaojun understood, and immediately took a step forward, but was also stopped by the guarding guards outside the door.

Luo Ying turned to look at Commander Wang, who was still holding his fists together.

"The emperor said that your lord is not in good health, and asked his subordinates to share his worries. Don't worry about this matter, just leave it to your subordinates."

Hearing this, Luo Ying suddenly laughed, there was a coquettish in the smile, pleasing to the eye, but with a cold taste.

Everyone in the capital knew what cruel thoughts were hidden under Xiangye's gentle skin. When he laughed, some people would cry. Commander Wang suddenly felt uneasy, but when he turned his head and thought that it was the emperor's order, he felt relieved.

"My lord, my subordinates are only following orders, and I hope that my lord will not embarrass my subordinates."

"What embarrassment is there? Commander Wang stopped me because he was doing something shameful, or Commander Wang was too ambitious...to seize power?"

"My subordinates dare not."

Luo Yinghun smiled indifferently, and walked slowly in front of Commander Wang. Although he walked slowly, every step felt oppressive.

Luo Ying stopped only half a step away from Commander Wang, his voice was soft and pleasant, but the content was chilling.

"If I kill Commander Wang, and then tell the emperor that Commander Wang secretly colludes with the Yin family in an attempt to steal money and cover up Chen Cang, do you think the emperor believes me?"

Of course the emperor will believe in Luo Ying, even if he doesn't believe it, he will not dispose of Luo Ying just because he is a leader. Luo Ying can be relied on to be able to grow from a small champion in the new department to the current one who is under one person and above ten thousand. , I died in vain, thinking of this, Commander Wang realized how unwise he was to offend Luo Ying, and suddenly cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"My lord, forgive me."

"Commander Wang, power is a good thing, but it also requires life to enjoy..."

"My subordinate understands."

Commander Wang nodded to the guard, who immediately stepped aside, and Xiao Jun stepped into the mansion.

A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Jun came out and nodded to Luo Ying.

Luo Ying turned to look at Commander Wang.

"It seems that Commander Wang has no second thoughts about the emperor. I am at ease, so I won't bother you."

After speaking, Luo Ying got into the carriage, and Commander Wang bowed to him.

"Go slowly, my lord."

Luo Ying smiled and waved to Xiao Jun, Xiao Jun drove the carriage away, Luo Ying heard Commander Wang's voice from a distance, looked back, and saw the guards holding many torches towards Yin Throwing it around the mansion, soon, the whole Yin mansion was surrounded by flames.

Flame is indeed the best thing to use, and all evidence of crimes cannot escape the burning of the fire...

……

"Luo Ying, you're going back on your word, I'm going to kill you!"

As soon as Luo Ying pushed open the door, a figure rushed up, and there was a flash of cold light in his hand, but it was a pity that Xiao Jun kicked him away before touching Luo Ying.

The figure fell to the ground, revealing a distorted cheek. It was Yin Yu whom I met at the execution ground that day, the eldest son of the Yin family who had just been exterminated. Just now, Luo Ying let Xiaojun enter the mansion to bring him out, but look Yin Yu didn't look grateful.

"My lord, this man really doesn't know good from bad."

If it wasn't for her quick reaction, Yin Yu would have stabbed Luo Ying. The more Xiao Jun thought about it, the more angry he became, and he immediately wanted to go over and beat Yin Yu again.

Luo Ying stopped her, Xiaojun had no choice but to suppress her even if she was unwilling, seeing Luo Ying walking towards Yin Yu, she immediately followed her, fearing that Yin Yu would violently attack her.

Luo Ying walked to Yin Yu's side and looked down at him condescendingly.

"It's so ugly that you look crazy, but I regret bringing you out."

"Luo Ying, you said that you would let the Yin family go if you gave you the imperial decree, you lied to me!" Yin Yu's expression twisted, watching his relatives die in front of him time and time again stimulated him, which is not ordinary. .

"I said it, but you forgot that I also said that I'm a bad guy. How can you expect a bad guy to keep his promise?" Luo Ying smiled slightly.

"You——I'm going to kill you!" Yin Yu struggled to get up, but Xiao Jun's foot was too heavy just now, he couldn't stand up at all, and could only crawl towards Luo Ying.

Looking at Yin Yu's appearance, Luo Ying's face paled.

"If you want to live, just be obedient and do what I tell you. If you want to go down with your parents, go crazy. I don't mind letting the Yin family really... exterminate the family."

Yin Yu's movements suddenly stopped, he hadn't gone mad yet, he knew that when a person dies, he really has nothing, and only the living have the chance to change their fate or...revenge.

"You just go back on your word, why should I trust you?"

"Ah……"

Hearing Yin Yu's question, Luo Ying glanced at him contemptuously.

"Do you have a choice?"

"..."

That's right... He has no choice, if he wants to survive, he has to do what Luo Ying said. Yin Yu lowered his head, and tightly held the dagger with his fingers, hating himself for being so weak.

"I promise you!"

"Very good, now I want to instruct you to do the first thing: I forgot your name, the Yin family is gone, and Yin Yu naturally doesn't exist anymore."

Luo Ying paused.

"You probably don't want the surname Luo, so you can take the surname of Xiao Jun and call it Wen Li."

Yin Yu didn't speak, and Luo Ying didn't intend to ask him to answer.

"Tomorrow I'll tell you what to do, you do it yourself."

After speaking, Luo Ying left, followed by Xiaojun.

……

After walking a long distance, Xiaojun finally couldn't help but speak.

"My lord, why didn't you tell him? This is clearly what the emperor meant."

"There's no need for that."

"But he—"

"As long as he does what I ordered, it's his business to hate me, so what does it have to do with me?"

"..."

Luo Ying looked up at the sky, the east was already pale, and before he knew it, it was almost dawn.

"Your Excellency has been tired all night, go and rest first."

"No, I want to go to the palace to see the emperor." He must not hide from Chu Yi that he went to the Minister's Mansion today, he had better go and explain it himself, besides, he also has something to ask.

"A grown-up's body cannot tolerate such exhaustion."

"Don't worry, I know it myself."

Luo Ying finally insisted on entering the palace.

The Hall of Mental Cultivation still had that strange smell, Luo Ying felt uncomfortable and couldn't help coughing, a bright yellow handkerchief was handed over to her, Luo Ying took it and covered her mouth.

After a while, Luo Ying calmed down and bowed down to salute.

"Wei Chen pays respects to the emperor."

"Get up, you are in such a hurry to see me because of the Yin family's business?"

"exactly"

"Then do you know why I asked Wang Ming to do this?"

"I don't know."

Chu Yi snorted coldly, and placed the teacup heavily on the table.

"You don't know? Because you care too much about the affairs of the Yin family, even if you care about it, I will suspect that you and that Yin are collaborating to deceive me!"

Hearing this, Luo Ying immediately knelt down respectfully.

"I have always been loyal to the emperor. If the emperor doesn't believe me, I can dismiss my position and ask the Ministry of Punishment to investigate."

"really?"

"No lie at all."

Chu Yi stared at Luo Ying, Luo Ying looked back calmly.

Seeing Luo Ying handing over power so easily, Chu Yi believed a little bit, but seeing Luo Ying's calm and unwavering appearance, the last doubt in his heart disappeared. He calmed down and helped Luo Ying up.

"It's not that I don't trust you, you are the one I trust most."

Chu Yi patted the back of Luo Ying's hand with his palm, and said earnestly.

"The Yin family is such a treason, death is not a pity. Aiqing, you are the person who wins my heart the most. Don't let me down..."

"I understand."

"That's good."

Chu Yi glanced at the alchemy furnace in the hall, his expression showing some eagerness.

"Aiqing, I have already asked the immortal master, and he said that when the elixir is released, I will be an immortal immortal."

"..."

Impossible for immortals, almost dead.

"Okay, I'm going to practice, you go out."

"Yes, Wei Chen retire."

Luo Ying backed out, Xiaojun saw him coming out, and immediately went up to meet him, after so long delay, it was daylight.

"Let's go back……"

Luo Ying rubbed the center of his brows wearily, the current emperor doesn't care about political affairs, but he is very suspicious, it is very troublesome to deal with.

Luo Ying got on the chariot and was carried out of the palace by the palace servants. He did not expect to run into an acquaintance in the imperial garden - the current crown prince Chu Fengrui.

It would be fine if the emperor was in a daze, and a new successor would be fine, but the prince of Lin Kingdom is also muddled and can't support the wall. , is a great disaster for the capital, if the throne falls into his hands, Lin Kingdom will perish even faster.

Anyway, there is no hope, the officials with a bit of conscience have retired, and the rest are corrupt and perverted. It can be said that the crown prince has contributed a lot to the current chaos in the court.

The original body didn't like the prince, but neither Chu Fengrui nor Chu Yi went to court, the two of them didn't meet much, and there was no unpleasantness. Today's meeting was the first time since Luo Ying possessed him.

Luo Ying asked the palace servants to stop the chariot, stood up and saluted the visitor.

"My minister has seen His Highness."

"My lord is a celebrity in front of my father, how dare I accept the gift from my lord."

Chu Fengrui shook open the folding fan, fanning it in a romantic way.

Luo Ying straightened up, but did not answer the words just now.

"Where did this come from, Your Highness?"

"I just came back from outside the palace, and I'm about to go back to the East Palace."

It's no secret that Chu Fengrui likes sleeping flowers and sleeping willows in the capital. Luo Ying is not surprised, but it seems that Chu Fengrui seems to be in a good mood, and this person has a weird temper. It's not common to be so happy, Luo Ying suddenly became curious.

"I don't know what made His Highness so happy?"

"It's not my tenth broom star brother. I lied to him that the fan fell into the lake and told him to fish it. You don't know how he shivered from the cold. It's so funny... Hahaha."

The tenth younger brother of the prince is of course the tenth prince Chu Jin. The weather this morning is already cold, and the lake is even colder. I don't know if Chu Jin is okay. A trace of worry flashed in Luo Ying's heart, but it didn't show on his face.

"I suddenly remembered that there was something else to do, so I will not bother Your Highness."

"That's it, I still want to invite Mr. Luo back to the palace to talk about it. I really appreciate Mr. Luo..." Chu Fengrui's eyes paused on Luo Ying's face, the meaning was unclear.

"next time."

"That's what you said, then I will wait for your lord."

Chu Fengrui walked away with a smile, Luo Ying immediately stepped on the chariot with a sullen face, and asked the palace servants to send him out of the palace quickly.
