share a glass of water with you

The emperor's face shone brightly in the light of the fire, and he said to Liu Jingting: "There are some things, I just want to make it clear now."

"What's there to say?" Liu Jingting laughed angrily. "The emperor insisted that I hid the Ninth Prince, but he refused to search and return the minister to be fair. If I really hid the person here, the emperor set fire like this, wouldn't he be afraid of the Ninth Prince?"

"Little Uncle Huang is not here." Rong Zhuo said calmly and firmly.Liu Jingting was a little surprised.

Listen to him go on to say: "The son never left the other courtyard at night, right?"

Liu Jingting nodded in agreement.

"The prince has never come out, but someone has seen the prince in the city." Rong Zhuo turned around and walked into the hall first. "There must be another winding path in the other courtyard of the prince."

Liu Jingting followed behind him, looking coldly at Rong Zhuo's back: "Ordinary wealthy families also have secret passages, which is not so strange." He paused, with a faint smile on his face again. "Fortunately, there is this passage. There is no unparalleled road, so I invite the emperor to come with me."

"I won't leave without the whereabouts of my uncle." Rong Zhuo said flatly, sitting still. "There are a lot of ponds in this courtyard, and they won't burn people to death in a while. Don't worry, son, why don't you think carefully about where the emperor uncle is."

Liu Jingting was also annoyed, without saying a word, he went to the corridor to see the situation outside the courtyard.There must be someone blocking it. The heat was so intense that the government and the people were not alerted to come to the rescue.A few soldiers tried to cross the wall, but they didn't know that the arsonist was guarding outside the wall with a bow and crossbow.He wanted to be a deterrent, so he showed his face on the top of the wall. Immediately, all arrows and crossbows were fired, and he shot like a hedgehog.

"Your Majesty has good means." Liu Jingting turned to look at Rong Zhuo. "I don't know if Lord Zhan knows the emperor's arrangement?"

"This is what the bandits committed. What does it have to do with me?" Rong Zhuo said lightly. "As for the Sixth Emperor Uncle, how would he know that I am here? The prince doesn't need to count on it."

"My minister is able to accompany the emperor to die, it is a blessing that has been cultivated in several lifetimes, and it is worth it." Liu Jingting didn't panic when he heard that, he just sneered.In his heart, he just wanted not to take other people's lives seriously. Could it be that the emperor's own life was willing to take such a risk, and he didn't want the power and wealth of the sky?

"To me, little emperor uncle is more important than my life." Rong Zhuo saw through his thoughts,

"The emperor's safety is naturally more important than his ministers." Liu Jingting was tricky in every possible way, how could he trust him?Slightly smiled again: "The gangsters are so arrogant, isn't the emperor afraid that the Ninth Prince will be implicated?"

"Of course I want him to be safe and well. But if there is an emergency, I will be with him. If I am willing, my son may not be willing." Rong Zhuo's face was flat, no thoughts could be seen. "If there is no news from me after an hour, the son's two thousand cavalry will end up in the same way. I came in person, but I sincerely want to inform my son."

Finally, Liu Jingting's face changed slightly, even though he didn't believe in the emperor, he would burn everything with him.However, judging from the emperor's intentions, it seems a bit obsessive and obsessed.Such a person can do anything.

But he is different from Rong Zhuo, what he wants is a great cause, not to mention that he is not willing to give up his life, even if he loses these people for nothing, he is also unwilling.Even if he refuses to admit it this time, and saves this matter with the royal family, there will be no good in the future.What's more, what the emperor meant was that he had the heart to live and die together, and he would do anything, regardless of King Huaishun's restrictions on the barbarians in the southeast, and it was possible to insist on flattening Nanjun.

He still has the ambition to do something great, so he couldn't help but hesitate slightly.

"Your Majesty, you should think about it clearly." Rong Zhuo raised his face to look at him, the fire had clearly burned outside the courtyard, but his face was still calm.

"I will definitely find out the whereabouts of the lord, and relieve the emperor's worries." Liu Jingting said, his face was slightly distorted, and that smile looked a little ferocious.He is cunning and suspicious by nature, so far he refuses to admit it directly. "The emperor said that he would not pursue it at all, but what evidence is there?"

Rong Zhuo raised his eyes and looked at him: "I can write a letter to you."

"Those who had the gold medal for avoiding death in the previous dynasty may not all end well." Liu Jingting said. "I don't bother the emperor to take such trouble, I just need the emperor to make a solemn oath."

"As long as the son finds Uncle Nine Emperors, I will act as if nothing happened today, and I will never pursue it again. If I violate this oath, I will not end well." Rong Zhuo said immediately.He had a solemn expression on his face, but he thought coldly in his heart, if you don't pursue 'today', you won't pursue it. I never said that you will not pursue anything before 'today'.

"This humble minister is bold." Liu Jingting looked at him for a moment, then smiled slightly, "If the emperor violates today's oath, he will teach the Ninth Prince not to end well." He has been a hero all his life, and he will not believe the emperor's words. In other words, the matter has come to this point, and settlement after autumn is also a matter of the future.I simply negotiated some cheap words verbally.

Seeing these words come out, the emperor, who was still calm and self-sufficient, was so angry that his chest heaved, and he was very happy.Without waiting for him to answer, he walked out.The flames outside the door shot up into the sky, illuminating the madness on his face: "In that case, please come with the emperor's servants."

Rong Zhuo endured it more and more, and followed him silently.

The guards and soldiers followed closely behind.

Liu Jingting led the crowd to a secluded place in the courtyard, opened a secret road, and walked for a while, only to see a cave in front of him, and an underground stream in it, the water is gentle.There are only a few boats parked on the shore.

These boats cannot hold so many people.Naturally, there are other ways to go out, but Liu Jingting refused to let them go out and make arrangements.Just let them wait here until the fire burns out before going out.

Both sides brought ten people to board the boat, followed the stream for about two pillars of incense, and came out of a cave covered by reed grass.

In the blink of an eye, there is an open water surface, and the shadows of lotus leaves in the distance are overwhelmingly connected.There was silence everywhere, and the fire from the other courtyard could not be seen here.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Rong Zhuo realized something, and glanced at Xiao Ruan.Only then did Xiao Ruan let out a sigh of relief, took out a firework from her sleeve and set it off.

Without waiting for Liu Jingting to ask, Rong Zhuo said calmly, "It's just a sign of safety."

Having said that, there is no guarantee that people will rush over, Liu Jingting didn't say much, and led several small boats into the depths of the lotus leaves.

------

Liu Guang was shaking the boat, and when the sky was getting brighter, he could already see the outline of Xutangju's city wall in the distance.I don't know where the fire broke out in the city, and it has been burning until now, and there is still a small half of the sky that is dark red.

Liu Guang was not in a hurry to enter the city, but instead drove the boat into a small river ditch overgrown with reeds.

"My lord." Liu Guang stood up, the boat was cramped, and when he stood up like this, he felt oppressed for no reason. "I have something to ask for."

The two of them didn't talk much, but looking at Liu Guang's character, he didn't seem like someone who wanted to be rich.

Rong Xuan didn't say a word, but nodded slightly, signaling him to listen first.

"My son's offense to the lord is unavoidable. But Liu Guang, as the son's concubine, always treats me well." Liu Guang swallowed his saliva, and it was difficult to speak. "Forgive Liu Guang for being bold, can you ask the prince to forget the past and not pursue it."

Rong Xuan frowned slightly.

The prince has only two sons.Although the eldest son Liu Jingting has a vicious temperament, he is decisive in major matters. He has conquered and suppressed chaos for many years, and he is quite talented.The second son is eager for quick success and instant benefits, and he is self-willed. This kind of disposition is really not enough to succeed King Huaishun.Nanjun guards the border, and there have always been barbarians making troubles. If something happens, the world will be in turmoil.Therefore, King Huaishun secretly asked many times to change the candidate for the heir, but all of them were rejected.

Thinking of what Liu Jingting did to him, although he was frightened and annoyed, he still had to consider it carefully.

Seeing his hesitant expression, Liu Guang's heart turned cold, and he couldn't help but took a slight step forward.

"I don't dare to ask for favors. But each is the master, and I have to think about the son. Apart from the prince's affairs, the son has always acted cautiously. Even if he wants to seize the heir, it is just because of the situation. There is no big mistake . " Liu Jingting turned the blade in his hand and put it between Rong Xuan's throat. "The prince is the devil in the heart of the prince. I admire the character of the prince, and I really don't want to do it."

"But if the prince has an accident here, it has nothing to do with the son. As long as the prince says a word and doesn't pursue this matter, I will let him go." Liu Guang said slowly, the tip of the knife was at two points Stop before. "If not, I will only offend you."

Rong Xuan's expression was cold, but he didn't feel flustered, and stared at him for a while.His eyes gradually softened, and he nodded unobtrusively.

Liu Guang breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to move the knife away when he suddenly felt something was wrong, so he instinctively leaned back.

Suddenly, a strong wind hit his face, and he split a feathered arrow into two parts. The first part missed its aim, but lost its momentum unabated, and it was stabbing Liu Guang's shoulder.

A big ship is facing the rising sun, sailing and galloping.

A tall man was standing at the bow of the boat holding a bow and string, nodding slightly to Rong Xuan as a greeting.His expression was full of lust, but there was something strange about him.The accent is also a bit awkward: "This is called getting it all without effort."
