Chapter 648 Alarm Bell
The last time?
Remembering Li Junwu's slightly trembling shoulders when he left, Xu Yuan raised his eyes and glanced at the sky above, sighing softly.
She must be feeling very sad now
Just like the bad joke circulated in Xu Yuan's previous life,
If you don't work hard, you will never know how useless you are.
I obviously decided to do it, but found that I was not as omnipotent as I imagined.
I thought I could save the world and save the building from collapse, but before I even started, I was slapped hard by reality.
Her ideals were crushed, and he, a friend who was originally inferior to her in everything, had already left her far behind at some point.
"How can her virtue support Zhenxi Mansion?"
A sudden hoarse voice interrupted Xu Yuan's thoughts.
Looking back, the person who spoke was the old man in charge of the heavy armor.
As a strong man in the Origin Realm, although Lu Baizou was old, he managed to heal the wound on his neck in these few quarters of an hour. He stared at the direction Li Junwu left with disdain in his cloudy eyes. with mocking:
"If she can be half as generous as Princess Wu Yuan, we brothers who have been with the Marquis all our lives will not have other thoughts."
"."
Staring at the other person, Xu Yuan said nothing, only thinking that the other person was barking before death.
Lu Baizou seemed to know what Xu Yuan was thinking, but ignored him. He sat down cross-legged on the Xuanwu platform, stared at the empty school ground, and said to himself:
"Boy, do you know? Back then, we old guys told the Marquis more than once that even if the princess is a daughter, she should be raised as an heir because she is the only heir of the Marquis and Zhenxi Mansion needs her. Stabilize people’s hearts.”
With nothing to do, when Xu Yuan heard this, he replied calmly:
"If I remember correctly, Li Junwu was sent to Di'an as a hostage when he was six years old."
"Proton, don't you think it's ridiculous to say this in your capacity?"
Lu Bo Zou had no scruples about Xu Yuan and squinted his eyes: "With the merits and prestige of the Marquis, there are a hundred reasons to get the princess back from the imperial capital."
Speaking of which,
The wrinkles on Lu Baizou's face drooped slightly, but his tone was leisurely and calm:
"At that time, Wu Yuan had already become famous in the north. The example of the princess gave us veterans hope that as long as the princess could be trained to be a heroine like Princess Wu Yuan, our Zhenxi Mansion would have a bright future, but our advice changed. What came was disappointment again and again.
"The Marquis is unwilling to drag his daughter into this quagmire. If this is all, if the princess can make a name for herself in Di'an City, then forget it, but her performance in Di'an is regarded as the fourth young master of the capital. You should be clear."
The words fell, and there was silence.
After a long time, Lu Baizou slowly raised his eyes to look at Xu Yuan, and asked with a smile:
"Boy, how can we old people be loyal to Zhenxi Mansion with peace of mind in this situation with no future?"
"."
Xu Yuan looked down at the old man sitting cross-legged on the ground in front of him and said calmly:
"Even if you talk about your motives in ridiculous ways, you will still die."
Hearing this threat, Lu Baozou's eyes grew even more disdainful:
"Death? Boy, my current status has been achieved step by step between life and death. The moment I embarked on the military journey, I was already prepared to die at any time."
"I told you so much,
"Just wanted to tell you,
"Li Junwu, she is not worthy of Zhenxi Mansion's loyalty."
After all,
Lu Baizou slowly took out the long knife from his waist, looked at his face on the bright knife, and smiled softly:
"Finally, I don't have to suffer anymore.
"Your Prime Minister's Office and your sect are all in the same boat, and it is impossible for Li Junwu to hold on to the foundation established by the Marquis.
"Being able to die before witnessing the destruction of Zhenxi Mansion is considered a blessing."
"."
Xu Yuan didn't mean to stop the other party, he just said:
"Tell me about the other details of the Zhenxi Mansion, and I will ensure that your wife, children, and children are safe."
"."
After hearing this, Lu Baizou suddenly showed a strange sense of amusement before slowly placing the blade across his neck.
Xu Yuan frowned slightly when he saw this:
"why are you laughing?"
Lu Baizou laughed hoarsely:
"I, Lu Baizou, have spent my whole life fighting without a wife or children. Isn't your threat funny?"
"."
Xu Yuan was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously:
"You have no wife and no children, so why did you betray Zhenxi Mansion?"
"I just told you the reason."
Lu Baizou's eyes were calm, showing no fear of death:
"Because Li Junwu is not worthy of my loyalty, Lu Baizou."
Lu Baozou committed suicide.
Inviting Zhou Chen to restrain the opponent's corpse, Xu Yuan also left the Xuanting military camp with Linlang.
When Yu Fuya saw Li Junwu again, she was bending over the case and processing the massive official documents.
Organizing a company's travel is a huge project, not to mention the dispatch of personnel and materials on a scale such as Fucheng's war.
Standing next to her were two men, one dressed as a scholar and the other wearing armor. From time to time, the two would give her some suggestions for modifications. They should be aides in the Zhenxi Mansion.
Seeing Xu Yuan walking into the hall, Li Junwu subconsciously wanted to get up, but after a trace of confusion appeared in his eyes, he still sat behind the desk and simply asked:
"Is something wrong?"
"."
Xu Yuan stood in the hall and said nothing, but looked at the two staff beside him.
When Li Junwu saw this, he waved lightly to the two of them.
After clearing the place, Xu Yuan said slowly:
"Lu Baizou is dead. He committed suicide."
Li Junwu stared at the file in front of him and responded softly:
"Well, I understand."
"Before he died, he revealed some details about people who might be working on it."
"What?"
Li Junwu raised his eyes when he heard this and asked subconsciously: "Are his words credible?"
After the words were spoken, Li Junwu clenched the langhao pen in his hand and said:
"Forget it, give me the list first."
When Xu Yuan saw the other party's reaction, he did not step forward immediately and still stood where he was.
Li Junwu frowned slightly:
"What's wrong?"
Xu Yuan smiled and made a joke:
"It's not good to be too stupid. Even if you don't want to rely on me anymore, you should at least ask the cause and effect clearly, right? After all, Lu Baizou can be regarded as one of the top executives of your Zhenxi Mansion."
Li Junwu was silent for a moment, then raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows:
"To make a long story short, I'm very busy right now."
Xu Yuan was also straightforward when he heard this:
"Before he died, Lu Baizou told me the reason why he betrayed Zhenxi Mansion."
As he said that, he walked forward and took out a scroll of paper from the Sumeru Ring and placed it on the desk.
Li Junwu reached out to get it, but found that the paper roll was held down by Xu Yuan with his index finger. He raised his eyes in confusion, but met his serious gaze.
He looked at her and said word by word:
"He said you were unworthy of his loyalty."
The wolf hair pen was broken.
The brief words reached his ears, and a strong sense of suffocation surged into his heart.
Li Junwu subconsciously recognized his aggressive gaze and gently dug his fingertips into his palm. The city defense formation was extremely powerful. If she wanted to, she could explore every inch of the city at any time.
She heard many comments about her from people below.
"It's okay to be a dandy in Di'an. Last year, I went to Xijiang to continue playing."
"After more than a month of eating, drinking and having fun in Zhenxi Mansion, the Marquis suddenly asked her to join the army. What is this?"
"I think I want to train her, but isn't it too late for the prodigal son to turn back?"
"You can just be a dandy and be a dandy. Wouldn't it be harmful if you suddenly take charge of the army?"
"That woman was lucky enough to be born in the Marquis Mansion."
These words pierced her heart like fine needles, but Li Junwu could accept them.
These complaints all came from what she had done before, and they could be reversed bit by bit through hard work, but now the words Xu Yuan spoke were like a sharp knife cutting her whole person in half.
The narrow black pupils kept swaying, and Li Junwu's breathing became rapid bit by bit.
It was she who caused the split in Zhenxi Mansion.
It was she who made those who were originally loyal to her father have second thoughts.
As Li Junwu's vision gradually dropped, Xu Yuan's index finger slowly released the paper he was holding.
He immediately raised his eyes and saw that Xu Yuan had turned around and walked towards the outside of the hall.
While walking, Xu Yuan said calmly:
"You don't have to worry so much. Lu Baizou's words may have been deliberately made up to make people disgusting before he died."
Li Junwu looked at his back, some unclear emotions welling up, and his voice kept calm:
"Lu Baizou has been with my father all his life. He has no wife and no children. He has no reason to be loyal to those sects before he dies."
Xu Yuan stopped and half-turned his face:
"Then these words and those lists should be true."
Li Junwu gritted his teeth and responded:
"Um."
Xu Yuan turned around and suddenly smiled:
"Looking at this alone, the two of us can be considered as brothers."
"What do you mean?"
"Literally speaking, you don't think that the senior officials of the Prime Minister's Mansion will support me without any brains, do you?"
Xu Yuan's tone was very free and easy, and he whispered: "If I want to convince those high-level officials, even if my father is on top, I, a former playboy, have to accumulate prestige bit by bit."
As he spoke, Xu Yuan sighed in distress and said half-jokingly:
"Besides, the problems I face are bigger than yours. After all, my family is much richer than yours."
"."
Looking at his playful and smiling face, Li Junwu couldn't help laughing, but after this flash of affection, there was endless loneliness:
"You are different from me. I can't be like you."
"There is no one who is born with knowledge in this world. You have never learned similar skills, how can you handle it. Oh, except for my father. He seems to have been planning to seize power since he was six or seven years old."
"What about you?"
"I'm not born to know, but the situation is quite special."
Xu Yuan pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "As you know, there are often some strange people coming to my house, such as ministers, ministers of Dali Temple, and princes. We often interact with them, and they must be more provocative than you under the influence of what we hear and see. Much more insight.
"Besides, my father basically doesn't shy away from us. When I was a child, I always checked the archives of the Prime Minister's Mansion at any time."
Speaking of which,
Xu Yuan showed a hint of embarrassment:
"Well, there are exceptions. After I took out those files and sold more than a dozen copies, I couldn't get in. But you are also to blame for this."
Hearing this, Li Junwu spat and complained:
"You three like to act big, so what has this got to do with this girl."
Xu Yuan shrugged, raised his finger and pointed behind him, and said with a smile:
"Anyway, abilities can be developed. Let's take the example just now. There are hundreds of cases in my family's internal reference library about this kind of drama about forcing a palace to seize power. If you read it through, you can find the solution no matter what.
"So,
"Everyone grows up little by little, Junwu, you don't have to blame yourself so much."
"."
Li Junwu was quiet for a moment:
".You said all this just to comfort me?"
"So be it."
"It's unnecessary and a waste of time."
"Tsk, what the **** are you doing?"
"But it's quite useful."
Li Junwu's willow eyes curved into two crescents, and his smile was as clear as the moon, which was stunning.
Xu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then complained:
"Can you please stop smiling like that? It's so weird."
Seeing his expression, Li Junwu hummed and raised his white chin:
"This girl is naturally beautiful, so your reaction is normal."
Xu Yuan rolled his eyes and said:
"With your hair, your armor, and your smile like that, you just look like the little husband in the hook bar. I'm not as good as Long Yang."
"."
Li Junwu's eyes twitched and he gritted his teeth:
"When hair grows, dress up properly and you will know how beautiful this girl is."
After saying that, without waiting for Xu Yuan's reaction, Li Junwu waved his hand at him:
"As for now, little emperor, please step aside. I have to deal with official business."
"."
After looking at each other for a moment, Xu Yuan lowered his eyes and smiled, put his hands together in a pretentious manner and leaned forward to salute:
"Here."
As she spoke, she stepped back a few steps and left the lobby where she was.
Watching him leave, Li Junwu bit his lip unconsciously, and gently pressed his palms on his undulating chest, feeling the ever-accelerating heartbeat underneath, and then snorted disdainfully.
Before his death, Lu Baizou confessed that the generals who might have been cheating were placed under house arrest by Li Junwu for various reasons. The resources of the wealthy families and the merchant knights were also smoothly mobilized.
Xu Yuan took advantage of this opportunity to go to the No. 7 store on Zitan Road.
This is a membership-based wine shop with a quiet and elegant decoration.
After Xu Yuan stepped into the store, Si Zijing, who had been waiting for him for a long time, went directly to greet him and handed him a small box in his arms.
And besides that,
Xu Yuan was still behind the counter when he saw a head soaked in brocade in a translucent wine jar.
Mu Qing.
Si Zijing, as the director of the Black Scale Department in the Gyeonggi region, had already arranged everything before Xu Yuan arrived.
Without alerting anyone, Si Zijing assassinated Mu Qing.
Seeing this scene, Xu Yuan left with satisfaction.
The city defense array and the army were completely gathered together, and every detail in the city was eliminated step by step. Everything went according to plan.
And the moment Xu Yuan stepped out of the wine shop,
"Dang-"
"Dang-"
"Dang-"
Nine alarm bells suddenly rang over Zhenxi Fucheng without any warning!
