As soon as Liu Zimo finished speaking, a figure came out from behind the door.
Look carefully, it's not the same guard who was kneeling in the rain in front of the hall just now.
After the guard came in, he knelt on the ground and put his forehead on the ground: "This subordinate is not doing well, please punish me."
Liu Zimo said nothing, playing with the dagger in his hand. The dagger was the one he had just inserted into his heart, and it seemed to have blood stains on it.
After waiting for a long time, the guard didn't hear the sound. He unconsciously raised his head and took a look, but he didn't see clearly yet. A cold light flashed before his eyes, and he instinctively wanted to avoid it, but immediately realized something was wrong and stopped.
A muffled groan.
The guard held his left arm tightly. The sharp dagger passed through his arm. On the other side of his arm, a drop of blood fell from the tip of the knife.
He didn't dare to speak and endured it for the rest of his life.
Liu Zimo snorted: "Trash."
Hearing these two words, the guard's body visibly shook.
Liu Zimo said contemptuously again: "I thought you would be smarter than Li Yutang, but I didn't expect you to be a loser."
The guard suddenly raised his head, revealing a face that looked exactly like Li Yutang.
It turns out that he is Li Yutang's biological brother, Li Yuren.
Liu Zimo glanced at him lightly and said, "You don't have to look at me like that. Today's stab is just a reminder for you. Next time, let's see if you can hide faster or I can slash faster."
Li Yuren glanced sideways at his shoulder that was pierced by the dagger, and with a cruel heart, he pulled out the dagger, and blood splashed all over his face.
He casually tore off a piece of clothing and tied the wound hastily. Then he picked up the dagger and carefully wiped it clean with the lapel of his clothes until he was sure that the light on it could shine. He took a few steps on his knees and raised his hands.
Liu Zimo took the dagger and played with it in his hand, and said leisurely: "What benefits did she give you?"
Li Yuren lowered his head lower and said for a long time: "I don't know that you are inside..."
"Ah!"
Liu Zimo suddenly sneered, and Li Yuren did not dare to speak.
Liu Zimo held the dagger, and the tip of the knife lifted Li Yuren's chin.
Li Yuren didn't dare to look directly at the other person. He could only see the extremely sharp blade. He didn't know whether it was because of the pain of the wound or because he was afraid, but his body was trembling slightly.
"It's true that you want revenge. If a man can't protect his family, he doesn't deserve to live. It's just..."
Liu Zimo looked at Li Yuren and said: "Just take revenge and don't find the wrong person and be used as a gunman."
Li Yuren suddenly raised his head and looked at him boldly.
Liu Zimo took back the dagger and said: "Go away, I will not keep anyone who has betrayed me around."
Li Yuren really regretted this time and prayed: "Sir, I really know that I was wrong! I promise: there will never be a next time! Please!"
Liu Zimo said calmly: "It is his own fault that your eldest brother became disabled. If your father had acted upright and sat upright, he would not have been demoted. As the saying goes, the unkindness and unrighteousness of your Li family came first. If I were Fu Jinan, no one from your Li family would be able to escape!"
Li Yuren looked at Liu Zimo's cold eyes and felt cold in his heart. Knowing that there was no room for maneuver, he kowtowed three times: "Thank you very much for your kindness in cultivating me for so long."
Li Yuren dragged his weak body towards the door step by step.
"Wait a minute."
Liu Zimo called.
Li Yuren turned around in surprise, and heard Liu Zimo say again: "For the sake of the third prince, I will arrange a place for you, but you can't stay in this capital."
Li Yuren's shoulders slumped: "Thank you, sir, for saving your life. I will never forget it."
Liu Zimo waved his hand: "Go away."
When Li Yuren stepped out of the house, Liu Zimo said another word, which made Li Yuren feel as cold as a dead person.
He said: "If you let me know that you have another idea for Princess Xuan, I will let your entire Li family be buried with you!"
After Li Yuren left, the room became quiet. Liu Zimo lowered his head and glanced at the wound on his chest. The blood seeping out turned the bandage red, but there was a pleasant smile on his lips.

Luo Ran took Youqing back to the Zen room. As soon as he entered the courtyard, Wang came out with an anxious face.
Youqing hurriedly took off his raincoat and put it on Wang.
Luo Ran also took her hand and walked quickly into the house. Once inside, before Luo Ran could say anything, Wang asked first, "What's going on?!"
His tone was anxious.
Luo Ran turned around and ordered Youqing to close the door, then took Wang's hand and sat on the couch, comforting him: "Don't worry, aunt, I'm fine."
Wang looked around and saw that the hem of her skirt was a little wet. It must have been accidentally stained by rainwater when she came back. Mixed with the dust on the previous skirt, it was beyond recognition. She hurriedly shouted to Youqing: "Go and get some clean clothes." Help your master put on the skirt!"
Luo Ran looked at Wang.
Mrs. Wang patted her hand: "Go ahead and change your clothes. Be careful of catching a cold."
Luo Ran then took Youqing into the inner room to change clothes.
While changing clothes, I asked Youqing: "Is Xie Ying back?"
Youqing helped her take off her dirty dress and put it aside, saying, "I'm back."
Luo Ran asked again: "When did you come back?"
Youqing shook his head: "I don't know much about this, but my uncle should know."
Luo Ran said: "You can go out and ask around later."
Youqing: "Okay."
Youqing glanced at Luo Ran.
Luo Ran asked: "What do you want to say?"
Youqing hesitated for a moment and said, "Just outside the main hall..."
"I heard."
Luo Ran lowered his eyes and said.
Youqing stopped talking.
After changing his clothes, Luo Ran was about to go out when he turned around and told You Qing: "Just pretend you haven't heard that and don't tell anyone!"
After Luo Ran changed his clothes and came out, Wang asked, "Were you in the hall just now?"
When Luo Ran saw You Qing going out and closing the door, he nodded and briefly explained the matter.
After hearing this, Mrs. Wang was so shocked that she didn't speak for a long time. Finally, she frowned and said, "The Liu family has always been at odds with us. What's the reason this time?"
Wang unconsciously thought more.
Luo Ran didn't tell her what Liu Zimo said to Youqing before leaving, and said: "It doesn't matter, we just have to be careful in the future."
Wang also nodded: "That's the truth."
He patted his chest in fear and said, "You didn't see Fu Mingzhu's appearance outside at that time. I felt panicked just looking at it. I wanted to find someone to help but couldn't find anyone. I was so anxious!"
Luo Ran took her aunt's hand and comforted her: "It's Ran'er who's worrying her, or not."
Wang shook her head and said angrily: "It all shows that it is easy to dodge hidden arrows and it is difficult to prevent them. Who would have thought that they don't think about serious things all day long, but they actually think about how to harm people!"
Suddenly he remembered something and said, "When I came back, Youqing said you were still sleeping. Why did you run there?"
Speaking of this, Luo Ran told the story about Xie Ying's disappearance, and then asked: "Has aunt seen Miss Xie?"
Wang was a little surprised and said: "I saw it, but I just saw her come back soaked all over, so I thought she was following you to get it, but it turns out..."
Luo Ran noticed his aunt's suspicion and said, "This matter has not yet been investigated clearly. We cannot jump to conclusions, but this person must be on guard."
Wang nodded: "That's the truth."
