With a self-deprecating smile on his face, Shangguan Wan sighed: "Actually, to be honest, I don't want you, Li Luo, to become my consort in Guizhou."

Li Luo nodded and said: "I know that there are countless people in the world who can bring benefits to the country of Guizhou, but among them, I, Li Luo, are the only one. Your Majesty's choice of me as your consort is undoubtedly a waste of a great opportunity."

Chance."

"That's not necessarily true!" On the throne, Shangguan Wan suddenly said: "If you are willing to put aside the past grudges and cooperate with our country of Guizhou, the value of choosing you, Li Luo, is actually far higher than most people."

"Li Luo, I know that your father died in the hands of our country, Guizhou, but people always have to look forward. By cooperating with me, you will gain more things. I can promise you. When that time comes, I can

Help you overthrow the Xia Kingdom and help you create an earth-shaking great cause."

"Creating a great cause?" Li Luo sneered and said, "I'm afraid this is your Majesty's wish..."

Shangguan Wan's face suddenly became a little ugly, but after a moment of silence, she didn't say a word.

Li Luo continued: "As a son, I must avenge my father's blood feud."

Shangguan Wan suddenly said in a serious voice: "Don't you want to know who is the murderer of your father?"

These words suddenly exploded in Li Luo's heart like thunder, and his calm expression became a little anxious.

Shangguan Wan continued to persuade: "Li Luo, as long as you agree to cooperate with me, I will tell you about this person."

There was a battle between heaven and man on Li Luo's face, and he didn't speak for a long time. Xiao Chen and Leng Changfeng looked at each other and felt the entanglement in Li Luo's heart at this time.

Just when they both thought Li Luo would compromise, they saw Li Luo take a deep breath, shake his head and say: "Thank you for your kindness, your majesty, Li Luo will find out who the murderer is."

Seeing how stubborn Li Luo was, Shangguan Wan's last patience was completely exhausted, and her face turned cold. Shangguan Wan frowned and looked at Li Luo and said, "In other words, you must walk all the way to the dark side?"

Li Luo smiled and said: "Actually, from the very beginning, Your Majesty should have known what choice I, Li Luo, would make!"

Making a gesture of invitation with his palm, Shangguan Wan said coldly: "In that case, please invite the prince to come to Guizhou to welcome the bride after March, when winter comes."

Feeling Shangguan Wan's intention to chase away guests, Li Luo chuckled lightly, and then left slowly with Xiao Chen and Leng Changfeng.

Among the three of them, Li Luo was walking in the front, and the expression on his face could not be clearly seen.

Xiao Chen behind him had a puzzled look on his face. As soon as he walked out of the palace gate, Xiao Chen hurriedly asked Li Luo: "Li Luo, why don't you agree to her? Even if you lie to her, at least you can know who it is."

He's the one who killed your father, isn't he?"

Li Luo suddenly stopped, turned around and said solemnly: "Because, I have probably guessed who that person is."

…

On the way out of the Qianguo Palace, Xiao Chen and Li Luo both looked worried. Only Leng Changfeng was as relaxed as when he came. He really did what he said, he just came to see the heroes of the world.

Style.

Perhaps because of Li Luo, the three of them didn't speak much.

As soon as he left the palace, Leng Changfeng said goodbye to Xiao Chen and Li Luo. There were still many things in the Wu Kingdom that he, the general, needed to decide, and he was not as leisurely as Xiao Chen.

The two of them also knew all this and nodded without holding back.

A carriage sped away and finally disappeared into the vast sea of ​​people.

After coming back to his senses, Li Luo turned to look at Xiao Chen and said, "What about you, what are your plans next?"

Xiao Chen shrugged and said: "I should probably stay in Fengming City for two more days. I've come here and I always have to have some fun. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of all the hard work?

"

Li Luo suddenly smiled meaningfully and said, "You want to wait until the limelight has passed before leaving, right?"

"It's boring!" Xiao Chen smiled and waved his hand and said, "It's really boring to deal with smart people like you. You always see through my plans at a glance. This makes me lose face."

Li Luo laughed, patted Xiao Chen's shoulder lightly and said: "Actually, this is okay, no matter who becomes the Prince Consort of Guizhou this time, he will be the target of public criticism, let alone me, a person who has long been remembered.

My return journey will not be peaceful even if I think about it, it should be much safer if you wait until I leave before leaving."

After saying this, Xiao Chen's expression became serious.

"How about I send someone to give you a lift?" Xiao Chen suggested.

Li Luo shook his head and smiled: "It is already known to everyone that you and I are allies. I just hope that this incident will not involve you, so don't worry about me. Besides, didn't I inherit a

Are you envious of the exquisite inner strength? Just rest assured."

Xiao Chen finally laughed, looked at Li Luo and said, "When are you leaving?"

Li Luo looked in the direction of the city gate and said, "Now..."

On this day, Leng Changfeng and Li Luo left Fengming City one after another. However, the moment Li Luo left Fengming City, countless carriages followed them. Li Luo didn't say anything, but Xiao Chen understood.

Li Luo's situation this time is probably more dangerous than any of his previous ones.

Just when Xiao Chen was lost in thought, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him: "Is Prince Xiao free? Can you please come to the post house for a chat?"

Turning to look at the visitor, Xiao Chen smiled lightly and said, "Xiao Chen is naturally honored to be invited by the general!"

…

In the Imperial Study Room of the State of Guizhou, the door was closed, and only a few flickering lights dimly illuminated the scene inside.

At this time, Shangguan Wan was holding the secret letter that was in the palace before, with an extremely solemn expression.

"Creak!" came the sound of the palace door opening, followed by the sharp voice of the eunuch: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Gu Bai has requested to see you."

Putting the secret letter on the dragon case, Shangguan Wan said without raising his head: "Xuan."

The eunuch stepped back and left. Not long after, he saw an old man in his seventies walking tremblingly at the door of the hall.

The old man turned out to be Gu Bai, the Prime Minister of the State of Guizhou. He was also a veteran of the three dynasties of the State of Guizhou. He could be regarded as one of the few people with the highest qualifications and the most vicious vision in the court.

Stepping up to Shangguan Wan, Gu Bai bowed and said, "Old minister Gu Bai, I'd like to see your Majesty."

Waving his hand gently, Shangguan said politely: "The Prime Minister is already old, so there is no need to be more polite. Just sit aside."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gu Bai cupped his hands again, then walked aside and sat down.

On the throne, Shangguan Wanruo looked at Gu Bai meaningfully and said: "Prime Minister, do you know why I want to appoint Li Luo as my consort today?"

Shaking his head, Gu Bai opened his cloudy eyes and looked at Shangguan and said politely: "This is also the question I want to ask."

Shangguan Wan remained silent and slowly picked up the secret letter on Long's case.

Where the secret letter was signed, the traditional Chinese character "Mo" was clearly visible. When Gu Bai saw the signature, his whole body felt as if he had seen something incredible, and his whole body started to tremble.
