The old man squinted his eyes at Luo and said lightly: "Your Majesty Xia Guo, it is more difficult to deal with than I imagined."
Luo Qingyan nodded: "Yes, I have always felt that way. You have been living here, and you don't care about world affairs. I don't know that there is such a saying outside that you and I meet here today, which can be regarded as destined , I can tell you about it."
"Oh? What words?"
Luo Qingyan hooked the corners of his mouth: "This sentence is like this. There may be tens of thousands of identities in the world for you to choose from, but the last thing you can do is my Luo Qingyan's enemy."
"Oh..." The old man pursed his lips, his eyes darkened: "It's true that I haven't heard of it, but I just feel that His Majesty looks a little different from what I heard."
Before Luo Qingyan asked, the old man continued: "It is rumored that His Majesty Xia Guo is cold-tempered and taciturn, but he is an out-and-out ruthless character."
"You..." The old man paused, his gaze wandering past Luo Qingyan's body: "He is also a ruthless character, but he is quite different from the rumored eight characters of indifference and reticence."
Luo Qingyan was not in a hurry, he only raised his eyebrows and looked at the old man: "People's temperament will always change, and it can't stay the same forever, right?"
The old man pursed his lips and didn't mention this again, he just said directly: "You are capable, even if you are now in the hands of our Wu people, you still firmly hold the initiative in your own hands , lead us by the nose. Tell me, what exactly do you want to do?"
Luo Qingyan heard him ask this question, but couldn't help laughing: "What do I... want to do?"
Luo Qingyan seemed to have heard some great joke: "Your Excellency, did you really ask the wrong person? I am the one who is locked up here to be slaughtered. The father and son are separated, and the child is suffering from the torment of poison." It's still me. But you came to me and asked me, what exactly do I want to do?"
Luo said softly, and raised his eyes to look at the sky outside: "You just said, what time is it now? Yin time? But when I look at the sky, it doesn't seem to be like Yin time, it looks more like It looks like it's about to arrive at Maoshi..."
"I have to go to the morning court at Maoshi every day, so I know exactly what the sky looks like at Yinshi Maoshi."
Luo Qingyan hooked the corner of his mouth: "It should be Maoshi soon, why don't you just wait here? Wait and see, and see what I want to do."
"As you said just now, I never like to be passive. I like to take the initiative in my own hands. I always feel that only when two people hold the same amount of chips in their hands can they Qualifications to sit down and negotiate. If one party falls into a disadvantage, there is no such thing as fairness. What I want is the possibility of a fair negotiation."
"Fair negotiation?" The old man sneered, the veins on his forehead bulging, he turned around and told the attendants behind him: "Go, bring His Highness the Crown Prince of Xia."
While the old man was giving orders, he was paying attention to Luo Qingyan's reaction from the corner of his eyes.
Luo Qingyan... was very calm, with almost no expression on his face, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
Seeing Luo Qingyan's reaction, the old man frowned even tighter, he gritted his molars secretly, but remained silent.
It seems that there is a silent game between him and Luo Qingyan, whoever speaks first will be the loser.
After an unknown amount of time, Luo Qingyan heard a burst of shouting from outside, the voice was very immature, but with a bit of dignity and anger: "Don't push me, I will go by myself!"
It was Chengye's voice.
Luo Qingyan's mind moved slightly, and he raised his eyes to look outside.
The sky was pale, and a few attendants could be vaguely seen coming over. A child was walking among them. The child was wearing shackles on his hands and feet. The shackles seemed a bit heavy, and the child walked with some difficulty.
Luo Qingyan narrowed his eyes and watched them getting closer, only then did he see the child's appearance.
It was indeed Chengye, but there were no visible injuries on Chengye's face, he was wearing a thin blue shirt, his complexion was a little pale, and only his lips were slightly purple.
Luo Qingyan clenched his hands in his sleeves a little bit, and only looked at Chengye fixedly, without making a sound.
Chengye was going up the steps of the tree house, but he staggered a little due to being dragged down by the shackles.
When Chengye went up the steps, he saw Luo Qingyan who was locked in the tree house, his gaze paused, and he couldn't help calling out: "Father!"
His voice seemed choked with surprise.
Luo Qingyan just smiled: "Well, it's me, Chengye, don't be afraid, Father is here to take you home."
"Go home?" The old man sneered: "You are still locked up, why don't you go home? And the Gu poison on his body may not be able to support him to go home."
Chengye didn't seem to have heard the old man's words at all, he just walked outside the iron railing with great effort, leaned on the iron railing, looked at Luo and said softly: "I knew that Father would definitely come to me, with Father here, Chengye is not afraid."
Luo Qingyan opened his mouth, feeling a lump in his throat: "Well, I'm not afraid."
The old man looked back and forth between the father and son for a moment: "Your Majesty Xia Guo must have never seen the appearance of his son when the poisonous poison occurred, right? I can, let you take a good look."
As the old man spoke, he waved his hand, and the silent woman who had been standing behind him took out a bamboo flute from her sleeve.
Luo Qingyan saw that when the woman took out the bamboo flute, all the remaining blood on Chengye's face faded away, an unconcealable fright flashed in his eyes, his small body trembled, but he quickly forced himself again. After calming down, he turned his head and said softly to Luo: "It's okay, father, what kind of poison, I'm not afraid, in fact, it doesn't hurt at all, I lied to them before, father, you know, in fact, I …”
Chengye blinked at Luo Qingyan, leaned on the iron railing, and silently said the words "a hundred poisons will not invade".
Luo Qingyan lowered his eyes, a gleam of blood flashed in his eyes, yes, Chengye was wearing a poison-avoiding bead, and Chengye had always known the function of the poison-avoiding bead, so he wanted to comfort him.
But he knew better that ordinary poisons are completely different from this Gu poison.
Poison is a medicine, and poison-avoiding pearls can naturally avoid and detoxify.
However, this Gu poison is caused by Gu insects getting into the blood vessels of the body and wreaking havoc in the body, how could it be avoided by the poison avoiding beads. Even if it is not poisonous, just a Gu worm swimming in the body must be extremely painful...
Luo Qingyan was thinking about it when the woman suddenly blew the flute.
