In the Xianhua Palace, Xue Yuran and Sima Yuliang were sitting in the pavilion chatting. Just now, someone in the palace hurriedly told Luo Fan to use heaven to end the marriage between Concubine Li and Li Tian.
After hearing this, Sima Yuliang sighed: "Miss Xue, what kind of person is this Luofan? Why is he so vicious, why is he so uninhibited and frivolous, and how can he be so versatile in both civil and military affairs? You see, Li Tian and Lu Qiaoqiao are Childhood sweethearts, they love each other. It's a pity that fate has played a trick on people, and fate has not been good, which led to today's results. And this Luo Fan could obviously make them happy, but he almost killed Li Tian with one knife. He did all the good things and all the bad things, which is really unacceptable understand."
"Things in the world are like flowers and mist, like thunder and lightning. You can see clearly that they are all flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water. He has his merits and demerits, so why should we try to figure it out? Let him be frivolous." Xue Yuran didn't seem to be interested. , directly cut off the conversation.
Sima Yuliang was a little embarrassed, and he couldn't get his bearings when communicating with Xue Yuran. He didn't know whether it was because he had never gotten along with girls when he was young, or because the other party was really difficult to get along with. However, it is this kind of elusiveness that always touches the boy's emotions, making him want to get closer and have a closer look.
Then he said: "Girl, what you say always makes people half-understand. Sometimes I envy Luofan. It seems that the girl only speaks to him unabashedly and unprepared. She always seems to be polite to others. .”
"Although Luofan acts ruthlessly, he is indeed a person who means what he says. You don't have to think too much when talking to him. But others are different. We have too many worldly ties, and we are afraid that telling the truth will hurt people's hearts, and we are afraid that good words will be too hypocritical. Encountered You have to cover up what you like to please, and you have to cater to what you hate and want to leave. How can you say that you are sincere? What the world calls good must satisfy the world's preferences, and what the world calls evil is naturally incompatible with the world. For example , you are an immortal young man who is admired by the world. You have a good family background, a good character, and a good appearance. But this good family background is the result of the efforts of the ancestors, the good character is brought up by the parents, and the good appearance is also given by the parents. . Your success in the first half of your life actually has little to do with you. But Luofan is different. He is the evil in the world. He is an orphan, his family background is not good, his character is praised by others, and his appearance is slightly ordinary. But his Everything he has today is his own fault. He has goals, ideals, and the fighting spirit to work hard to achieve them. He is indeed an amazing person. In this era, if he had not died prematurely, he would definitely be the overlord of the generation in the future. That Sima Yuliang Have you thought about your future?"
Facing Sima Yuliang's probing of his heart, Xue Yuran said something else.
"My future? I haven't thought about it. I just want to join the Tiandu Dynasty and be a good official for the people and the country. In the future, I can help stabilize the court and help the people live in peace. I don't have any ambitions to be a hegemon, but I will work hard to make the country peaceful. The world has become more harmonious." Sima Yuliang still told the truth honestly, which made Xue Yuran feel that he was innocent.
"Oh. Then you have to know that there will be a battle between the four major families and Li Benxin. Which side will you choose to stand on?"
"I don't know, and I don't want to know the result. I know that secretly, everyone says that my aunt is powerful and has done all kinds of evil. But the world is like this. If my aunt doesn't have such ruthless means, I, Sima My family may have been framed and wiped out by other families. Fifteen years ago, when I was eight years old, our family was framed and imprisoned by the Bai family. My grandfather, uncle, and many relatives were murdered by the Bai family. Since then , my aunt became tough and cruel, otherwise the Sima family would have no way to survive. In these years, my aunt has done many wrong things, but I know that she had no choice but to work hard for the survival of the Sima family. I did not I have the right to accuse her or change her. So I don’t want to participate in the fight between the four major families and King Tiandu, and I don’t want to judge the right and wrong in it!" Sima Yuliang told the truth again.
Xue Yuran disagreed, and asked: "There is nothing wrong with people's survival, but once they taste the taste of power, their actions are not just as simple as survival. If one day, the four major families defeat Li Benxin, your aunt will become Will you be complacent if you become the king of the world? If Li Benxin wins and all four of your families are killed, will you be angry and take revenge? If you don't want to participate, will you have the courage to bear the future results? "
Hearing this question, Sima Yuliang was silent for a moment. He didn't know how to answer, let alone how to do it!
Xue Yuran knew that Sima Yuliang was a kind person, but that was all. In essence, Sima Yuliang and his third brother Luo Tianyao do have similarities. Both of them came from noble families and received formal ethical education since childhood. They had the courage to draw swords against evildoers, but when they encountered the right and wrong of their own family, they became undecided. To put it bluntly, relatives are greater than justice in their hearts, and their justice is limited to their own homes.
Sometimes, Xue Yuran feels a little disappointed. She doesn't like Luofan, and even hates Luofan's style, but looking around, no one can compare to him.
Sima Yuliang was speechless for a moment. Whenever he talks to Xue Yuran, he always feels a sense of frustration. This feeling is real and seems to be a warning.
"Hey, we're catching rapes over there, but you two feel comfortable hiding here." Zhao Xue and Luo Fan walked in and looked at the two of them with a smile.
"Hey, Miss Xue is a lady of the family. Naturally, she is not interested in joining in the fun of men stealing and women being prostitutes." Luo Fan said with a smile.
"We all know the result. What a decisive decision! It not only saves the face of King Tiandu, but also makes a pair of bitter mandarin ducks come true. It seems like your method." Xue Yuran snorted.
"Hey! Miss Xue, I'm in a dilemma too. Everyone is afraid of offending others, so they all blame it on me. If I let them go, King Tiandu won't let me go. If I kill them, the Divine Leg Sect and Sect Master Tie won’t let me go. Alas, it’s only me with a solid eye who is always fooled. Alas, how was the discussion between you two? Is there any progress?” Luofan raised his eyelids and teased.
"How did the conversation go?" Xue Yuran said angrily.
"The murderer, do you have any clues about the murderer who broke into the palace? This palace is a place of right and wrong. Hurry up and finish the investigation and evacuate!" Luofan said with a deliberate smile.
"That's right. You've been here for half a day. First you beat the marshal of the escort, then a young general kicked a water vat, and finally stabbed another one. If you stay a few more days, you're afraid that not many generals in the palace can Let you be able to fight." Xue Yuran replied coldly.
Several people sat in the pavilion to rest for a while. Wang Luochuan and the others came back from visiting Li Tian. Long Xilin also took the trap that opened the Sun Moon Well and spun the golden rope. When everyone saw Luo Fan, they still stayed away, with expressions of contempt and contempt on their faces, as if Luo Fan had done another terrible bad thing.
"Hey, Luofan, you don't have to worry anymore. The imperial doctor said that Li Tian didn't hurt his internal organs, and he can recover in a few days. He and Lu Qiaoqiao have gone back to Shenzumen. You can be considered as having done a good deed unintentionally. , but don’t be impulsive in the future, if you really kill Li Tian, you will offend a lot of people." Xie Xu came over and reminded Luofan.
"Oh. By God, by God, it seems that God is kind. Don't mention this matter. Thank you for arresting Mr. God. You should hurry up and open the Sun Moon Well to catch the thief. This palace is too dangerous. I don't want to spend more time. Wait!" Luo Fan was half lying down, waving his hands and smiling.
Without any further delay, everyone gathered around Sun Moon Well. Only Luofan and Xue Yuran stayed in the pavilion. Luofan, however, had eaten and drank enough and was feeling sleepy, so he lay down in the pavilion and took a nap.
"Who is more suitable to go down the well?"
Long Xilin at the well raised the dragon's head rope and looked at everyone and asked.
Everyone looked at each other, the timid ones didn't dare to do it, and the bold ones were afraid of being criticized for taking credit, so they didn't say anything.
Wang Luochuan hugged his arms and said with a smile: "The underground environment is dangerous and the mechanism is in disrepair. The person who goes down must be good at it. I only have good eyesight when practicing the Qi-Wang Jue, not the Qinggong."
"Hey, King Shenquan is too modest. If your Qinggong is not good enough, we juniors will be even more incompetent. Didn't Jing Lei Shenzu go down just now? Let him do it again!" Li Qilin excused himself and looked at Luo Fan who was sleeping in the pavilion. .
Everyone else also looked back.
"Okay. I see it this way, Sima Shenquan, you go down into the well. Your Qinggong is the best, and you can jump out when in danger. Let's tie a rope to you, and we can pull you out when in danger." Xie Xu went straight to the point and appointed Sima Yuliangdao.
"Okay, I'll go down the well." Sima Yuliang simply agreed.
Soon, everyone found ropes. Sima Yuliang tied the rope around his waist and climbed down the well wall.
The hot water in the well is boiling. If you fall down, you will feel as if you are standing on top of a hot pot. When you look down, you will be frightened and sweat all over. If you fall into it, you are afraid that the hot pot will burn if you fall into it. Although Sima Yuliang was highly skilled in martial arts, he had never been in such a harsh environment of darkness, darkness, and intolerable heat. For a moment, it felt like a stone was weighing on his heart.
Take a deep breath and look around the well walls. It was easy to find a well wall with a circular gap in the stone slab. And the gap is exactly the same as the faucet spinning gold rope. He then took off the spun gold rope from his waist and inserted the faucet into the gap. And instantly I felt a huge suction force inside, sucking in the entire faucet and the spinning gold rope. Then several clicks were heard.
Just when Sima Yuliang was happy that the mechanism was opened, the movement in the mechanism stopped again, and the golden rope was withdrawn from the gap. Sima Yuliang tried to restart the mechanism several times, but to no avail. I had no choice but to raise my head and shout: "It's no use. I'm going up."
Sima Yuliang put his feet on the wall of the well and used his strength to jump out of the well. Everyone hurriedly gathered around to ask clearly.
"It didn't work. After the key was put in, the mechanism only made a slight noise and then stopped. I tried several times but it didn't work. It seems that as King Tiandu said, the mechanism has been in disrepair and may no longer be useful. "
Xie Xu turned back and looked at Wang Luochuan and said: "Wang Shenzhu, since the trap is useless, do you think this thief can still be hiding under this well? I think the water in the well is boiling away, so there is no way he can hide in it, right?"
Wang Luochuan waved his hand and said: "We have checked the area. There is no hidden secret room. The murderer should have come up from the well. I also asked Aunt Liu from Huaxian Palace just now. Every time someone goes missing in the palace, it happens to be this Riyuejing Leng The time for alternating hot and cold water. When alternating between hot and cold water, there is about half a stick of incense time. The water is warm enough to pass people. Although I don’t know what the conditions of the underground passage are, but the murderer probably has something to do with it. And according to the murderer’s crime records in the past six months, tonight or tomorrow night is the time when the murderer may appear. Since we can’t go down the well, then we can wait here to ambush and wait for him!”
