King's Landing [Rebirth]

Sima Rong looked at Lu Zixiu in surprise, seeming to be depressed and lost: "Second Young Master, don't you believe me?"

Lu Zixiu smiled very gently, exactly the same as when we met years ago. He raised his hand to touch his face, and said softly, "Since you are Yuan Sheng, why don't you stay? There are so many talented people around the prime minister. There is no shortage of you, you and I have known each other for eight years, is it not as good as the few months in the prime minister's mansion? Huh?"

Sima Rong had a big headache, knowing that he didn't believe him, but if he just admitted it, he might not hand over Yuan Sheng, and there would be no peace in the future. Forced to a dilemma.

Lu Zixiu walked around him, pacing and looking at him, and finally stood in front of him with his hands behind his back, and said with a smile: "Yuan Sheng is timid, and he is no more calm than you. Since you entered this courtyard, you have always I have never panicked, you said you are Yuan Sheng, do you think I am a fool? What you are lurking beside the prime minister has nothing to do with me, I just hope you can tell the truth, where is Yuan Sheng at the moment?"

Sima Rong's eyes flickered slightly, and he was too lazy to pretend to be Yuan Sheng's demeanor, so he raised his eyebrows and looked at him calmly, and smiled sarcastically: "Second Young Master thinks that I am someone else's impersonation, it's just because I think my temperament has changed drastically, it's just you How can I be sure that the timid and humble Yuan Sheng is the real me?"

Lu Zixiu frowned.

Sima Rong continued: "I'm just being patient and don't want to make enemies with others, but I was bullied in the Lu Mansion, sent away by you at will, and almost beaten to death before I left. Do you know this?"

Lu Zixiu's face changed slightly: "You hand over Yuan Sheng, this is between me and him."

Sima Rong seemed to have never heard of it, and said again: "The clay figurine still has a bit of a temper, let alone me? I owe all my scars to the Lu family, and you still expect me to devote my whole heart to you forever? I am not in the first place. An Fen's temperament, but in the past I respected you and was willing to listen to you, so I was always obedient, which made you misunderstand my soft-tempered nature. Although I dare not call myself a thousand-mile horse, the prime minister is completely a bole, but you, the second son, want to I am a horse trapped by my side, but you are the sky, do you think I would rather be a horse that covers a thousand li, or be your plaything?"

Lu Zixiu was shocked by his loud and ironic words, and there was a bit of pain in his eyes: "I have never regarded you as a plaything, and you have such a deep misunderstanding of me?"

Sima Rong smiled coldly.

Lu Zixiu paused for a moment, then suddenly came back to his senses, his eyes turned cold: "Yuan Sheng never said these words to me in the mansion. In the dark, but how do you know these things?"

Sima Rong sighed softly, "Second Young Master still doesn't believe me..."

Lu Zixiu raised his hand to interrupt him: "There's no need to pretend, you are definitely not Yuan Sheng, but Yuan Sheng told you those words just now?"

Sima Rong sighed again, but did not answer him.

Lu Zixiu showed a slight annoyance: "Say!"

Sima Rong sighed again, but remained silent.

With a sullen face, Lu Zixiu turned around and ordered, "Put it to death!"

The person next to him hesitated a little, and asked in a low voice: "If he is real..."

"He's not." Lu Zixiu said firmly.

The man stopped worrying and asked, "My lord, should I cut off one of his fingers first? Or should I cut off a piece of his flesh first?"

Sima Rong's scalp became tense when he heard this, and he quickly opened his eyes wide to look at Lu Zixiu.

Lu Zixiu met his eyes. Although he knew he was fake, he couldn't help but clenched his fists, paused, and took a deep breath: "Anything you want."

"Second Young Master!" Sima Rong said suddenly, "When I was in the Lu Mansion, my status was low, so it was fine to be beaten and scolded, but now that I have left the Lu Mansion and have nothing to do with the Lu Manor, Second Young Master has arrested me again, Shi Using torture...is it forcing me to break up with you?"

Lu Zixiu didn't look at him, and waved his hand: "Don't listen to what he said, just use torture."

Sima Rong was shocked. He didn't expect that Lu Zixiu was a cruel and merciless person. He looked around and knew that it would not be easy to escape from here by himself, let alone under their noses. He quickly collected himself: "Since the two If you want to sever friendship with me, you might as well give me a stick, the Second Young Master used to kill a servant for me, and now I will stick to death, so that I can remember the kindness of the Second Young Master before I die."

Lu Zixiu was in a state of confusion when he heard that, he was afraid that his heart would soften, so he waved his hands quickly: "Stick punishment."

Sima Rong saw that someone came forward to untie the knot for him, so he looked down at himself, and said: "This gown was a gift from the prime minister, if it was broken like this, I would feel ashamed."

"Long-winded!" The man heard impatiently, quickly took off his long shirt, and threw it on the ground casually.

Sima Rong was held on the ground by someone, twisted his body and struggled, rubbing his jacket into a ball.

Lu Zixiu turned his head, his eyes fell on the part of his exposed back, his face turned pale with shock, and he hurriedly shouted: "Stop!"

The executioner hadn't even dropped his stick, which made him startled. The wooden stick almost hit his foot, so he hurriedly stabilized his hands and looked over in surprise: "My lord?"

Lu Zixiu's eyes trembled slightly, he strode over and knelt down next to Sima Rong, his brows were furrowed, he stretched out his hand to touch it in disbelief, then rubbed it vigorously, his face turned pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "Why do you have this birthmark too?" ?”

Sima Rong's heart relaxed, he had wanted to reveal the birthmark a long time ago, but he was not sure if Lu Zixiu had seen it, so he dared not speak easily.

Lu Zixiu didn't hear his answer, his mind was in a turmoil, what he was sure about suddenly became confusing, he didn't dare to use torture anymore, he stood up hurriedly, said in a deep voice: "Tie him up!" Then he turned and strode away.

The rest of the people looked at each other in blank dismay, had no choice but to clean up, and followed them out one after another.

The room gradually became quiet, until finally only Sima Rong was left, and it suddenly became empty.

Sima Rong patiently waited until midnight, listening to the yawning of the guards outside, then secretly untied the restraints on his body, and then waited for a while until the yawning outside gradually weakened and disappeared, and then walked cautiously to the window. side.

There were many guards outside the door, but there was only one guard outside the window. Sima Rong held his breath and opened the window, looked around, and stepped out.

Suddenly there was a small sound in his ears, Sima Rong was startled, his body stiffened, he quickly raised his eyes and saw that the guard who was dozing off against the pillar smacked his lips twice, he was slightly relieved, He moved the other leg out, closed the window again, and finally left step by step on tiptoe.

He was blindfolded when he was captured, so he didn't know the way at all, and the night was dark at this time, which made things worse, not to mention that there were layers of guards outside, and he wanted to slip out smoothly unless he could fly over the walls.

Sima Rong sighed secretly, went to the corner and listened carefully, but didn't notice any movement, then probed slightly, unexpectedly, he broke out in a cold sweat.

There was a figure standing at the corner of the wall, at first glance it seemed to be a guard, but the man suddenly turned his head, unexpectedly it was Lu Zixiu.

The two stared at each other in the darkness, Sima Rong knew that he couldn't escape, and suddenly felt helpless. He had hoped that he could escape, but now seeing that there was little hope, his heart came out inexplicably. One thought: Does the Prime Minister know that I am missing?

Lu Zixiu quickly put away his surprised look, and smiled slightly: "I underestimated you."

Hearing what he said, Sima Rong knew that all the hard work was in vain, so he said calmly, "Second Young Master, you don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you doing standing here?"

When the two opened their mouths, the guards not far away were awakened immediately, and they ran over one after another.

"I confused you, so I stood here and thought for a while." Lu Zixiu still spoke softly, and ordered, "Tie him up."

At this moment, a person hurriedly walked over from a distance: "My lord, someone from the prime minister's residence is here!"

As soon as Sima Rong's eyes lit up, he stopped struggling and let others tie him up tightly.

Lu Zixiu glanced at Sima Rong and frowned, "Who's here from the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

"Prime Minister."

Lu Zixiu was taken aback: "Huh?"

"The prime minister came in person."

Lu Zixiu paused, then nodded: "Please sit in the main hall, Prime Minister, I'll be there soon."
