Li Li looked at Xiao Lue in disbelief. He had thought about the possibility of Xiao Lue raising his troops to attack the Imperial City of the Lan Dynasty, but he never thought that Xiao Lue would really collude with foreign enemies.

He was used to Xiao Lue's careless, wandering appearance of playing with the world, but now seeing Xiao Lue showing the same ambitious expression as Xu Tu, his mood suddenly sank into a cold abyss.

Xiao Luan turned cold and completely exposed his ambition.

Li Li suddenly found out that this was Xiao Huan's real appearance, cunning and vicious.He can make Xutu think that he is an ally who is easy to be seduced by beauty and is easy to control, and he can also make Li Li believe that he is only dealing with Xutu, but in fact he is secretly looking for a way to escape. Like Li Li, he is just a fallen person in the world .

"You were caught by Xu Tu on purpose?" Li Li stared at Xiao Lue in surprise.

Xiao Luan gave a "chi" smile, and shook his head helplessly at Li Li's nervousness, "Li'er, you have wronged me. But even if he doesn't look for me, I will look for him."

Perhaps Xiao Lue really entered Xutu's lair passively at the beginning, but the situation has long been reversed, and now, Xiao Lue is the one who controls the overall situation.

It wasn't that Xu Tu forced Xiao Luan to form an alliance, but Xiao Luan finally chose Xu Tu.

"But if I take the initiative to look for him, it will take time and effort to gain the old fox's trust, and the effect will not be as good as it is now." Xiao Luan would admit it by saying this.

Li Li took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice, "Why do you form an alliance with him?"

"With the help of Xutu's troops, at least half a year can be brought forward for me to destroy the Lan Dynasty." A trace of obvious hatred flashed across Xiao Lian's face, "Several generations of the Patriarchs of the Xiao family were born for this purpose. No."

"Xu Tu is not a fool, do you think he will obediently be your pawn instead of waiting for an opportunity to bite you back?" Li Li narrowed his eyes and warned Xiao Lue.

"Li'er, are you concerned about my safety?"

Of course, Xiao Lue's self-indulgent sentimentality would not get Li Li's response. He grabbed Li Li's wrist tightly and rubbed his delicate inner wrist with thin callused fingers. Helping the spies, I am afraid that they have not found out my real strength, Xutu is my pawn, and will eventually be my abandoned pawn."

His appearance made Li Li terrified, Li Li almost couldn't wait, he broke free from Xiao Luan's shackles, and threw back the wolf tooth in his palm to Xiao Luan.

Xiao Luan picked up the wolf teeth, "Li'er, why did you refuse? Lan Chao failed you. After I destroy Lan Chao, you can kill anyone who betrays you or bullies you."

The wolf tooth was right in front of Li Li, as long as he picked it up, not only would he be able to solve his current difficulties, but he would also have a sharp sword that could stab at the crown prince's life.

Xiao Luan put the biggest temptation in this world in front of Li Li, and Li Li hardly had any reason to refuse.

After a long silence, Li Li smiled mockingly, "Xiao Lue, you are quite similar to my father."

"Li'er," Xiao Lue said helplessly, "you should know that I don't like such metaphors."

Li Li thought mockingly in his heart, he didn't bother to compare with Emperor Heng, but he didn't mind sleeping with Emperor Heng's son.

But from another angle, Li Li thought, the way he was lying under him, showing his ugliness, might also give him the pleasure of humiliating Emperor Heng.

"No, I'm saying that you are as suitable as my father." Li Li closed his eyes and stopped looking at the mace. "It's disgusting to play tricks on people's hearts."

Li Li didn't look at it, so he didn't know how long Xiao Luan looked at him with pity after he said such harsh words.

Xiao Lian sighed, hugged Li Li's slender waist, and stroked his spine slowly, as if he was comforting a cat with fur.

"I'll put the fangs under your pillow, and you can change your mind at any time."

Since Xu Tu wanted to form an alliance with Xiao Luan, a formal ceremony was required.

Therefore, Xu Tu had to be in the main camp with Xiao Lian the night after tomorrow, facing all the generals and soldiers, and made a blood alliance.

Soldiers in the city were called back to the main camp one after another. Except for the soldiers defending the city who were still working hard, the defense in the city seemed to be in disarray.

Xiao Luan was away during the day, he was busy having a drink with Xu Tu's generals, trying to win their trust to the greatest extent.

Lan Chao's mission failed this time, they didn't know that Xu Tu had already reached a private deal with Xiao Lue, so the chips in their hands could not impress Xu Tu at all.

However, the two countries did not cut off their envoys, so Xutu let them go. The time when the envoys left the city coincided with Xutu's alliance ceremony.

During the day, Chi Yue came to look for Li Li again.

Chi Yue came to return the dagger that Li Li had given her back then.

"I gave it to you, it's yours." Li Li didn't want the dagger.

"I have followed Mr. Deng, he will protect me," Chi Yue hurriedly picked up the dagger, "This dagger is more useful in the hands of a guest than in the hands of a slave."

"When are you leaving?"

Chi Yue was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect Li Li to ask this question, but she answered honestly, "Tomorrow will be the time."

"Shen Shi..." Li Li murmured, looking unconsciously at the pillow on the bed. When he woke up in the morning, the mace was still under the pillow and hadn't been taken away. "Then Deng Pan's plan is flawed?"

"Yeah." Chi Yue nodded, not understanding why Yuan Ke asked so repeatedly, "Mr. Deng said that the soldiers guarding the city would not check the missions carefully, and they have prepared clothes for the slaves as disguised followers."

"So—" Li Li rubbed his throbbing temples, "It couldn't be better."

"Take the dagger." Li Li pushed the dagger back, "If something happens, you won't be completely passive."

Li Li's eyes could not be refused, so Chi Yue had no choice but to put the dagger back into her bosom.

Chi Yue couldn't help crying, "Yuan Ke, will we meet again?"

The mountains and rivers are far away, and the date of goodbye is also far away.

Li Li comforted Chi Yue and said, "Let me tell you an address. When you settle down, you can send a letter to this place. If I see it, I will reply to you."

Chi Yue turned grief into joy, and recited the address Li Li said over and over again, until she knew it by heart.

"The slave must remember, and the guest must not forget."

Chi Yue gave Li Li an extremely bright smile, and Li Li couldn't forget this smile even after a long time.

Originally, Li Li and Chi Yue would meet again, because Chi Yue usually delivered Li Li's lunch the next day.

But Chi Yue didn't come, and it was another strange maid who delivered the meal.

The mission was scheduled to leave, but it is not yet noon.

Seeing the maid leave with his own eyes, Li Li was restless in the room.

He heard the sound of chaotic running outside, and he knew that the soldiers stationed in the city were gathering in groups and rushing to the main camp on the other side of the city to participate in tonight's military event.

Now the defense in the city has been very lax, and the two guards guarding the door of Li Li's room have also been ordered to evacuate, leaving Li Li alone in a situation where no one cares about him.

Li Li pushed open the door and walked out. The dust outside was flying all over the sky, and thick black smoke ignited in the dim yellow sky, scattered in several places.

The remaining soldiers piled firewood on the open space and lit the torches. They threw the looted but inexhaustible cloth and food into the fire and burned them. Kill them with the scimitar in your hand, and pile the corpses in the stable.

There were still a few horses left in the stables. Horses were important supplies in the army. The soldiers untied the ropes from the horses and planned to lead them out.

However, the thick bloody smell in the air frightened one of the horses, neighed fiercely, broke free from the rope and ran away, and the other horses were also driven to flee in all directions.

The soldiers were busy recovering the horses, and the scene was chaotic.

The horses ran aimlessly across the clearing, knocking over several soldiers who were carrying corpses.The soldiers were thrown on their backs, clutching their chests and coughing loudly. After recovering, they joined the team chasing the horses, and threw their bodies on the road and ignored them.

Among the several corpses, there was a female corpse, wearing a bright orange satin aristocratic costume, which was particularly eye-catching among the corpses surrounded by dusty prison uniforms.

When Chi Yue came to see Li Li yesterday, she was wearing this suit.

Li Li tightened his arms, walked slowly to the female corpse and squatted down. The female corpse had black hair covering her face, and she couldn't see her face clearly. Li Li gently pushed aside the hair under the bridge of the nose of the female corpse. Very small moles.

Chi Yue died, a bloody hole was stabbed in her stomach by a knife.

"Who?"

Li Li was keenly aware of a peeping sight, the man hid in a panic, and Li Li caught a figure from his back.

The figure was wearing Han costumes. Although the clothes were simple, they were not the coarse linen clothes of ordinary people, but the unique clothing standard of officials of the Lan Dynasty.

Li Li found the dagger from Chi Yue's arms. Even in the face of death, the girl still did not pull out the dagger.

"I was wrong. I should have realized that a sharp blade is more useful in my hands."

The peeping person thought he had avoided Li Li's sight, but by chance, a sharp dagger was tied around his neck.

"Forgive me, forgive me, I don't have any money with me." The man obviously didn't recognize Li Li's identity, so he said it in Chinese, and seeing that Li Li was unmoved, he said it again in Rong Di's language.

Li Li said expressionlessly: "Why did you follow that female corpse?"

"Are you a Han?" The man glanced at Li Li, and immediately raised his head, "Do you know who I am, and you dare to threaten me like this?"

With a movement of Li Li's wrist, the skin of the man's neck was pulled out by the dagger, and blood beads dripped along the tip of the knife.

The man's legs were shaking like a sieve, "Don't, don't, don't! I have no grievances with you, and I didn't do anything!"

Li Li smiled, "Don't be nervous, as long as you tell the truth, I will let you go."

"Really?"

"of course."

The man stammered and explained that he was a follower of Deng Pan in the Lan Dynasty mission. Deng Pan fell in love with Chi Yue and wanted to take her away today, but Deng Pan was warned by Liu Shi , fearing that Xutu would find out that it would endanger his life, so he sent him to report to Xutu that Chiyue had fled privately.

Xu Tu thought for a long time before he remembered that he had such a woman, so he casually sent his men to deal with Chi Yue.The entourage followed all the way, confirming that Chi Yue was dead before replying to Deng Pan.

"I have explained everything that needs to be explained." The man looked at Li Li pleadingly, "Can I go?"

"Thank you." Li Li put away the dagger.

The man covered his throat with his hands, but he couldn't stop the blood from gushing out. His eyes were wide open, and he fell down straight.

Li Li went to the post house where the Lan Dynasty mission was located, while Deng Pan and Liu Shi were packing their bags.

Deng Pan was putting several volumes of papers into the bookcase, complaining: "Master Liu, if you return without success this time, the Holy One will be furious. Do you have a plan to deal with it?"

Liu Shi never answered him.

Deng Pan slammed down the paper, "Lord Liu..."

Turning around, Deng Pan saw that Liu Shi, who was still confronting him just now, was lying in a pool of blood, staring at him intently.

Deng Panren was so frightened that he slumped on the ground, his face was ashen.

"You...you, you are the fourteenth prince..."

Li Li's dark eyes were as dark as a deep pool, and he wiped Liu Shi's clothes with his bloody hands, then looked at Deng Pan's face leisurely.

"I don't know why you like him." Li Li said to himself.

Deng Pan didn't understand what he was talking about at all, and crawled out on hands and feet.

Li Li killed him with a knife, and the dagger was stuck in Deng Pan's back. The rest of the missions who settled in the post house were killed by Li Li silently.

Li Li picked up the table, the document Liu Shi was writing before he died, and saw that Liu Shi was reporting to Emperor Heng that the envoy here was not going well, and Xu Tu didn't know why he was not moved by the city and indemnity offered by the Lan Dynasty , Liu Shi thought that it was not enough bargaining chips they gave, and asked Emperor Heng to send the fifteenth prince Li Luo to the Rongdi tribe as a hostage.

Li Li tore up the documents, raised his head and laughed silently.

Li Li suddenly understood that if he didn't have enough strength, he wouldn't be able to protect anyone well, and the people he cherished would only be bullied and trampled mercilessly by others.

Li Li went back to the bedroom where he and Xiao Pun were, and Xiao Pun was there.

"Where did you go?" Xiao Lue should have left for Xutu's main camp earlier, but he still insisted on staying until he saw Li Li.

Li Li pretended not to see Xiao Lue, walked straight to the bed, and took out the wolf tooth that was under the pillow.

"Li'er, you finally listened to me." Xiao Lue seemed very happy, and hugged Li Li, "Go home and wait for me."

Home?which home?

Li Li was carried by him, and when Xiao Luan had enough to hold him and had to go, Li Li didn't stop at all, he held the wolf tooth and left the room, followed the route Xiao Luan had planned early in the morning to find the restaurant in the east of the city.

The owner of the restaurant led him into the room, and an old man came out to meet Li Li. Li Li knew this old man, he was the old housekeeper of Prince Ning's Mansion who had met him once.

The housekeeper was shocked when he saw the spike in Li Li's hand.

"My lord is willing to give you this thing, young master, please leave with us quickly."

Li Li shook his head, "I won't leave, but you guys need to help me transport a wooden box out of the city."

"Ah? What is it?"

Li Li asked the owner of the restaurant to bring in the wooden box he had pushed with a cart.

The butler opened the wooden box and saw that it was a dead female body.

"I want you to transport this female corpse out of the city. After cremation, the ashes are buried next to the unnamed tomb of the Lu family's old house in Xiantang Village, Wudi. Like my mother, she likes to see green mountains and beautiful waters." Li Li said to the housekeeper.

The housekeeper couldn't bear to say: "Young master, do you know what this spike means? How can you be so absurd?"

Li Li looked at him, "Then now, should you listen to my orders?"

"Yes, this old man obeys orders."

Counting the time, it will be time for Xutu to take the stage and publicly announce an alliance with Xiao Lun to attack the Lan Dynasty together.

Li Liyin went into the night and mixed into the last batch of soldiers heading to the main camp.
