share a glass of water with you

After thinking about it, the visitor had already walked to the front yard, accompanied by more than [-] guards, standing neatly in the courtyard.One person screamed: "Pick up!"

Liu Jingting was slightly taken aback, one of the guards stepped forward, took off the cloak on his head, revealed a gloomy face, and swept his face coldly, it was the emperor himself.

Bandits come and go like the wind, but the king's order is like a mountain.Liu Jingting dispatched his men and horses to take precautions in several places where they might attack. There were only a hundred or so soldiers left in this other courtyard, and they were all gathered in the front courtyard at this time.After being busy for a while, it is considered that the etiquette is complete.

Liu Jingting speculated about Rong Zhuo's intentions, while inviting him to the main hall, served tea and sat down.

The emperor put on a cold face, and was not polite to him. He sat down at the head of the house, and asked straight to the point: "My son has been searching for so many days, have you found the whereabouts of the little emperor?"

"I'm investigating." The emperor didn't give him a seat, so Liu Jingting stood in the hall with a bow, his tone was gentle and calm, pretending to be confused with him while pretending to understand. "Recently, a group of bandits has been found fleeing, and the minister is stepping up his arrest. If the disappearance of the prince is related to these bandits, I believe we will get news in a few days."

------

Liu Guangchao called out: "Come here."

There were originally two people outside the cabin at any time, just in case.Listen to his call and walk in together.I saw the mess in the cabin, the brocade quilt was dropped on the ground in front of the bed, Rong Xuan was lying on his side, unable to see his face clearly for a moment.

Liu Jingting traps people here, except for a few close confidants, not everyone knows Rong Xuan's identity.These two people only know that this person is an important criminal, and they dare not make mistakes.Seeing this scene, one person hurried forward to have a look.

I just walked to the bed, and I didn't wait to get closer to see clearly.Hearing a low and hoarse cry from his companion behind him, he couldn't help but look back, only to see Liu Guang covering the man's mouth and protruding a bright knife point from his chest.

Liu Guang is the son's confidant, so Liu Jingting entrusted him with the important task of taking care of Rong Xuan.In name, he is still the little leader of these people.Therefore, these two people did not pay more attention to him.

Unexpectedly, he would attack suddenly at this time, the incident happened so suddenly, the remaining attendant was inexplicably shocked, before he could scream, Rong Xuan stood up on the bed, completely different from his usual limp appearance, a short dagger was so amazing that it could be stabbed at the throat Cut it off, preventing him from screaming.Liu Guang had no time to rush forward and finish this person together.

Liu Guang was afraid that once the two of them left, these people would promptly inform Liu Jingting of their sexuality, and they would be merciless in their actions.

Rong Xuan looked at his wrists, frowned slightly, got off the bed with his clothes up, and carefully stepped over the corpse on the ground.Blood was splattered all over the floor, and some blood was splattered on his clothes, and it was too late to change at this time.

Liu Guang went on like this again, killing all the people in the boat, and then took him to the stern, lowered a small boat from the cabin roof, the two of them boarded the boat, determined the direction and rowed to the east bank.

"Hand over little uncle, and I will spare you the death penalty." The emperor interrupted him, straight to the point.

Seeing that he was blatantly asking for someone, Liu Jingting paused for a moment, then said without changing his expression: "It is my duty to apprehend the bandits and relieve the emperor's worries. I am also worried about finding the whereabouts of the Ninth Prince, but I don't know what the emperor is talking about." What."

Before he could finish speaking, a teacup flew towards him, Liu Jingting tilted his head slightly, the teacup flew across his forehead and smashed against the wall.

Rong Zhuo's face on the seat was ashen, clearly furious. "Where did you hide people?"

Liu Jingting touched his forehead, looked up and saw the emperor's appearance, with fear on his face, but a secret smile in his heart.Hold on to Rong Xuan's weakness, the emperor is young, and after all, he can't hold his breath, so he can't help it.

"I don't know what the emperor means." He still said so.

"You don't know?" Rong Zhuo snorted, and it took him a long time to calm down his anger. "You let my little uncle go, made weapons privately, and colluded with ministers to plot wrongdoings. I don't even know about the crime of deceiving the emperor, so I don't need to pursue it at all."

After listening to his words, Liu Jingting seemed to think about it seriously, and finally laughed.

"Where's the evidence?" He stood at the bottom, but raised his head to look directly at the emperor, his tone was as gentle as a scholar's, but his eyes were sharp and clear. "If the emperor wants the life of the minister, it is just a matter of one sentence. Why does the emperor find so many excuses to slander the humble minister. The emperor knows that the Ninth Prince fell into the hands of the bandits, and now he wants the humble minister to hand over him out of nowhere. How can I ask?" How can I conjure up a living Ninth Prince to return to the emperor?"

"If the emperor doesn't believe it, he can send someone to search the courtyard." He took a step back and let the gate out, his calm expression seemed to Rong Zhuo to be confident.

Rong Zhuo's chest heaved, but he forced himself to sit still on the chair, and only squeezed the armrest of the pineapple wood chair tightly: "You are so determined that I can't find anyone, so you are so rampant?"

"I dare not!" Liu Jingting said solemnly. "I just wronged you, please ask the emperor to search carefully in this courtyard, and give me justice."

As he spoke, he ordered outside the door: "Have you heard what the emperor said? Go and search the whole yard carefully, and don't miss any corner."

The guards in the palace were well-trained, and they were standing in two rows at the foot of the steps, not moving at all when they heard the words, but waiting for the emperor to speak.

"Don't be hypocritical." The emperor stared at him bitterly, and it took him a long time to let out a foul breath from his chest.

"This minister sincerely asks the emperor to search carefully. The emperor refuses, but accuses me of hypocrisy without evidence." Liu Jingting said: "This minister has always admired the prince. Now that the prince's whereabouts are unknown, the minister is also worried. The emperor has repeatedly doubted the minister, it is better to search."

"I heard that Lingtang is seriously ill." Rong Zhuo ignored him and said. "I have given my brother permission to go back and visit."

The old county king's concubine's natal family has a lot of background, and King Huaishun feels that his temper is too vicious and violent.For many years, she has intended to support the second son born to the concubine Zheng.It's just that Liu Jingting has always been cautious in his words and deeds, never teaching people to catch any mistakes, and the matter of changing the son has to be abandoned for a while, and the second son Liu Jingtang has also been leading the army outside.

At this time, the emperor issued an order to recall him, and the threat was self-evident.

Liu Jingting didn't plan to be able to succeed in a smooth manner, and he was not a vegetarian when he prepared to lay down the food, grass and soldiers. Hearing that it was just a meal, he smiled slowly: "That's it, thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty."

"I can make another decree." Rong Zhuo stared at him closely. "Officially canonize you as the son of King Huaishun, and you will succeed King Huaishun in the future."

"You don't need to worry about it so much. Whether it is King Pan or the lives of my ministers, it's just a matter of the emperor's words to give or take." The clay figurines are also somewhat earthy, not to mention Liu Jingting's vicious temperament.After being teased repeatedly by him, a wave of anger slowly rose in his heart.Guessing that he was worried about what Rong Xuan could do, he simply let the conversation go.

Apart from being unable to suppress the tyranny in his heart in front of Rong Xuan, this man is also cold and leisurely when he gets angry, and his tone becomes more gentle: "The emperor thinks that cutting someone's neck with a knife and giving some panacea to heal him is a great gift. .”

Rong Zhuo's face was gloomy.

Liu Jingting smiled gently and elegantly, and then said: "I heard that the emperor and the prince had some quarrels before..." He lowered his voice. "Could it be that the emperor also thinks that after the emperor acts recklessly, he just needs to figure it out, admit his mistakes and be soft, and others should take it for granted. Does the emperor think that he won't hold resentment towards the emperor?"

"This is a matter between me and the emperor's uncle. It's not your turn to ask. If the emperor's uncle didn't fall into your hands, how would you know what he thinks." A voice came out of the crack.In the end, I really wish I could tear the smile of the person in front of me into pieces.

"What I'm talking about is just human nature. Liu Jingting didn't take this little emperor seriously at all. Thinking that Rong Xuan must have rejected him because of such a thing, he was even more resentful. Seeing that the emperor had no way to refute, he was very upset. Happy. He also knew that he would accept it when he was good, so he just let it go with a smile. "I also ask the emperor to delay for a few days. The courtiers rescued the prince from the bandits and sent him to the emperor immediately. "

Liu Jingting is a veteran treacherous cunning who has been trained for many years, and he is not afraid of the little emperor resorting to such rogue methods.Threats and lures are just for show, he just blindly quibbles.

Rong Zhuo quarreled endlessly as if he was determined to want someone. After all, he was the emperor, and Liu Jingting could not forcefully see off the guests.Seeing that it was getting dark, he politely asked the subordinates to make some supper, and only waited for the emperor to refresh himself, so he could simply see what other tricks he could come up with.

As soon as the entourage went down, the lanterns in the distance lit up.

This speed is also too fast.

Liu Jingting frowned slightly, feeling a little inappropriate in his heart.Go straight out of the hall to check.

In just this moment, the southeast corner was filled with brilliance, and the flames suddenly rose.The fire burned strangely, over the top of the wall and quickly burned towards this side.In a short while, the entire manor was surrounded by flames.

The entourage rushed over and knelt down at the bottom of the steps: "There was a sudden fire outside the courtyard, please escape the prince."

"Your Majesty." The emperor stood behind him at some point, defying his inability to do anything just now, with an unusually calm and calm expression. "Where is the prince going to avoid?"

"Your Majesty." Liu Jingting turned around with a slightly distorted smile. "It's too dangerous here, please move the emperor first. If the emperor has an accident, I can't afford it."

"No need." Rong Zhuo said lightly: "If you have something to say, it's a good time to make it clear now."

Na Ming's attendant knelt at the foot of the steps, momentarily unable to understand the situation in front of him.Repeatedly persuaded: "My son, go away, I don't know who arranged the gunpowder with tung oil in the courtyard, if you don't leave, it will be too late..."

In the middle of speaking, Rong Zhuo kicked him heartily and kicked him out, fell down the corridor and rolled twice, bleeding from the corner of his mouth, unable to get up for a long time.

All the soldiers in the lower ranks were in an uproar and commotion.The thirty guards were really calm and turned a blind eye to the rapidly approaching flames. Seeing that there was a change in the other party, they pulled out their knives from the sheath with a bang, and spread them in all directions. The two emperors surrounded them.

Liu Jingting originally wanted to take Rong Zhuo as a hostage, but when he saw his kick just now, he was actually not weak.Weighing the strength of both sides again, we have to make peace.

After a little hesitation, Rong Zhuo turned his face, his eyes were sharp and cold.It fell on his face like a blade, which made people unable to look directly at him.In the firelight, he heard him whisper but clearly: "Tell me again, I want little uncle."

Liu Jingting looked at him, almost couldn't help cursing.I only thought in my heart that this person might be crazy. With such a method of burning, he is a majestic ninety-five supreme, and he is not afraid to accompany himself in it.
