"Haha, I almost forgot. In fact, she doesn't love you at all - your feelings for her are just like my feelings for you. They are just wishful thinking. What she keeps thinking about is actually other men..."
Wan'er mercilessly revealed the pain deep in Li Ruiyun's heart; Li Ruiyun couldn't help but become angry, unsheathed his sword, and suddenly reached Wan'er's chest.
Wan'er stood there upright, tears mixed with reddish blood rolling down her face; she smiled sadly, waiting for the ruthless man in front of her to stab her with a fatal sword mercilessly.
The air around him seemed to have solidified, making people feel suffocating.
At this time, there was a rush of footsteps outside, which broke the tense confrontation at the right time - it turned out that a messenger guard hurried in.
But the guard was extremely clever. When he saw that the door of Li Ruiyun's dormitory was tightly closed, he naturally did not dare to enter. He just stood at the door with bated breath and lowered his voice and said: "Young Master Li, I have something to report."
"What's the matter? Tell me." Li Ruiyun's face was expressionless.
"Yes." The guard bowed his head respectfully and said cautiously: "Sun Xiaowen and Li Yunting are asking for a meeting outside. They said... that they have something very important to report to Mr. Li."
"Ask them to wait for me in the living room." Li Ruiyun's gloomy and solemn expression softened slightly, and he slowly took back the long sword in his hand.
He glanced angrily at the crying woman in front of him. There was a look of disgust on his face. He snorted coldly and turned away, as if he didn't bother to look at her again.
Wan'er was the only one left in the empty room. There was no trace of the joy of surviving the disaster, only the feeling of depression and sadness penetrated her heart and spleen, and spread to her limbs and bones in an instant.
She felt that her whole body had become light and fluttery, and she could not help but collapse to the ground, wailing completely, like a lonely and helpless cub, whining in pieces...
Li Ruiyun had already strode outside to the living room.
The terrible incident just now was like a dense fog that could not be dissolved, lingering in my mind and lingering. His face was dark, and there was still some lingering anger.
At this time, Sun Xiaowen and Li Yunting walked in hurriedly.
"Gang leader, something happened last night! I'm here here..." Sun Xiaowen had a look of panic on his face. Halfway through his words, he suddenly saw something wrong with Li Ruiyun's face. He couldn't help but tremble in his heart and stopped subconsciously.
Only then did Li Ruiyun realize that his gloomy expression had frightened his two subordinates, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh in his heart.
You have to know that I have always been calm and steady, and I don't want to express my emotions and anger. I didn't want to be stimulated by a sour and jealous little woman this morning and almost lost control of my emotions. It really shouldn't have happened.
He raised his head and exhaled gently, calming down the turbulent struggle in his heart, and gradually returned to his usual calm, as if the person who almost lost his mind just now was not him at all.
"What's the matter? Keep talking." Li Ruiyun's whole face was full of gloom, and there was no trace of emotional fluctuations.
Looking at Li Ruiyun's cold face, Sun Xiaowen's hand hanging by his side curled up unconsciously, and he said calmly: "My subordinate... I am here to apologize."
"Oh? What happened?" Li Ruiyun's eyes narrowed slightly and glanced at him.
Sun Xiaowen's Adam's apple rolled a few times, and he lowered his head and said, "Last night, the body of Jinling King Zhao Fu was... stolen from the city gate tower!"
Li Ruiyun's expression suddenly changed.
Sun Xiaowen and Li Yunting were so frightened that they did not dare to express their anger.
Li Ruiyun's jawline felt tense; he pondered for a moment, and then looked at the two subordinates standing in front of him, with dark eyes, "Tell me about the situation at that time."
Sun Xiaowen calmed down his chaotic thoughts and said in a deep voice: "There are 2,000 guards guarding the city tower, divided into three shifts. There were 700 people on duty last night. At that time, Yunting and I were leading people in the north While patrolling the city gate, he suddenly heard something unusual and rushed over, but he was a step too late. The body of Jinling King Zhao Fu had been taken away.
"We hurriedly led the crowd to catch up, but we saw that the thieves were two masked men, wearing black clothes and holding long swords. They looked young. One of them was carrying a body on his back and running quickly in front, while the other one was behind. Yunting and I led the people up Although they were attacking in front of us, the two men were not weak in martial arts, and their moves were extremely fast and fierce; but we have a large number of people here, and they are all elite soldiers and generals..."
Li Ruiyun frowned slightly, as if he was impatient to listen to his lengthy talk, "What are you talking about? I'm just talking about what happened next."
Sun Xiaowen said in panic: "Yes. Later, those two people were invincible. We were about to capture them, but unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin came out halfway. Suddenly two more people appeared. These two people are also gangsters. He was wearing a mask, but his martial arts skills were astonishingly high. In just a few rounds, he saved the first two people and injured many of our brothers..."
Li Ruiyun's eyebrows twitched unconsciously, "What do these two people look like?"
Sun Xiaowen murmured: "They all have their faces covered, and it's dark night. My subordinates are ashamed and can't see clearly..."
Li Ruiyun rolled his eyes, snorted and said, "Then you should have figured out whether these two people are male or female, and how old they are, right?"
Sun Xiaowen said: "Of course they are men. One is a middle-aged man in his forties, and the other is an old man in his sixties or seventies."
"Middle-aged man, old man..." Li Ruiyun's dark eyes were like stars falling in a cold pond, and he murmured to himself with deep thoughts: "Who could these two people be?"
Li Yunting on the side bit his lip slightly and said boldly: "Since these people are here for the body of Jinling Prince Zhao Fu, I privately believe that they are probably related to the people from the Jinling Prince's Palace..."
"Prince Jinling's Mansion—" Li Ruiyun narrowed his long and narrow eyes. As he reached the room, he suddenly thought of something, and then asked: "By the way, is there any news about Princess Huanyu?"
Sun Xiaowen's face was dark and he whispered: "Not yet."
Li Ruiyun's half-closed eyes opened instantly, flashing a sharp light, "Continue to arrange people to investigate! It's really useless, there are so many people, and they can't even catch a weak woman with no strength! Hmph! , as long as Huanyu is caught, I believe some difficult problems will be solved!"
When he said this, his voice was low, cold, and full of unquestionable determination, which made Sun Xiaowen and Li Yunting in front of them shiver involuntarily; at the same time, they felt a little confused.
——Isn’t she just a former princess who has lost her support and backing? She is helpless and frightened like a bereaved dog. What is so scary? Is it worth mobilizing so many troops?
In fact, how could they understand Li Ruiyun's subtle and complicated thoughts.
Princess Huanyu is the daughter of Prince Jinling, and Prince Jinling had a fierce confrontation with Li Ruiyun in the Jinluan Palace that day. He sharply denounced him as a traitor and traitor who was seeking power and usurping the throne, and she fought to the death, openly challenging his authority and bottom line. , which made him lose all face, and he became angry and angry at Princess Huanyu - from this perspective, it is understandable.
Moreover, the root must be eradicated and the bad bandits must be eliminated to ensure that no legacy is left behind. This is also Li Ruiyun's consistent style.
In addition, there is another reason that may be difficult for most people to understand, and that is: Princess Huanyu is still Ling Yun’s former wife!
Although it is no longer the case, Princess Huanyu's unforgettable true love for Ling Yun has never changed - for Ling Yun, she will risk everything, even die.
But Ling Yun was Li Ruiyun's mortal enemy, and eventually died tragically at Li Ruiyun's own hands. What would happen if Huanyu knew all this?
So all said and done, Li Ruiyun would never let Huanyu go, no matter openly or secretly.
Although Sun Xiaowen and Li Yunting were ignorant and did not understand the meaning, they had never tried to understand Li Ruiyun's thoughts. This was also their intelligence.
Sometimes, it is wiser for a person to be confused than to get to the bottom of things.
So the couple stopped asking questions and said nothing more; they just lowered their eyebrows and said repeatedly: "Yes, I accept the order!"...
Low-hanging clouds slowly passed by from the dark sky, covering the desolate and endless wilderness outside the capital; the trees in the mountains in the distance turned yellow, and the leaves shivered in the cold wind; there was a gap between heaven and earth. The vastness makes people feel indescribable desolation and despair.
In the wilderness, in front of a new tomb that had just been erected, stood a beautiful woman dressed in white.
The woman's skin was as white as snow, her eyebrows were picturesque, her black hair was flying, and she looked cold. Her deep eyes were filled with faint brilliance, and her long eyelashes were condensed with frost.
She stood in the bleak wind, guarding the handful of loess in front of her. The glow was stained with rouge, and she burst into tears. She cried until she was short of breath and almost fainted.
Behind her, several people standing were also depressed and solemn.
Among these people, the one closest to the woman in white is a pretty girl dressed as a village girl.
Behind them are two honest young men in Tsing Yi, one is in his twenties and the other is in his 18s and 19s. Although they are still young, they are handsome and heroic.
There were two men in gray standing not far from them.
One man was already over 40 years old, with a rough and bold appearance, deep eyes, and a short mustache. Although his coarse clothes could not hide the intimidating and good temperament on his body.
The other person is an old man who is over sixty years old and energetic. He has a rosy complexion, thin eyebrows and bright eyes, a straight nose and a straight mouth. Three locks of beard under his chin are fluttering in the wind, making him appear to be immortal, free and elegant.
At this time, the pretty girl dressed as a village girl stepped forward and persuaded the woman in white with tears: "Princess, don't cry. Although the prince is no longer here, you still have to take good care of your body! If you My body is broken from crying, who can I ask my servant to serve?"
It turns out that this woman in white is the Princess Huanyu whom Li Ruiyun gritted his teeth and made up his mind to capture and eliminate quickly! …
