"Wu Lirong...how do you know this name."
Dongfang Rui looked slightly stunned. That was a name that was often mentioned only in his era, but now no one mentions it at all. Where did Su Li know about it
He suddenly realized that his understanding of Su Li was only on the surface. He had no idea how this girl rose up on her own under Zhu Yan's oppression, and how she got the position of a lecturer in Chinese Studies.
But now, it is clear that she has only arrived in Yunjing for less than a year, but her ability to master information is far better than her own who grew up in Yunjing.
Su Li narrowed her eyes slightly and did not answer.
In the previous life, Su Zipei entered the general's mansion, and it didn't take long for Prince Rui to marry him. The new princess was none other than Wu Lirong of the Wu family.
Wu Lirong was a widow at that time, her husband died early, and there were rumors among the people that she was a necromancer. Prince Rui married her at that time, which naturally caused some controversy. Later, Su Li poisoned Dongfang Rui, which seemed to add to Wu Lirong's nepotism.
"I'm just taking a guess." After gathering her thoughts, Su Li raised her head and answered, looking directly at Dongfang Rui, "What was the relationship between Wu Lirong and my mother back then?"
Dongfang Rui's eyes darkened, and he finally spoke about the past grudges.
During the year when Su Yun was studying in Yunjing, his friendship with Dongfang Rui gradually deepened, and Wu Lirong, who was also studying at the Chinese Academy of Sciences at the time, also fell in love with Dongfang Rui.
Wu Lirong was the daughter of a general. In terms of status and identity, she was several blocks ahead of Su Yun. In her opinion, it was not difficult for Dongfang Rui to make a multiple-choice question between the two of them.
Later, Dongfang Rui's actions indeed told her that the choice was not difficult, but she was not the one who chose.
Seeing that Dongfang Xiao agreed to the marriage and praised Su Yun as Zhuge, the daughter of Dahan Kingdom, the resentment and jealousy in her heart finally turned into hatred. The night before Dongfang Rui and Su Yun's wedding, she invited her to meet Su Yun under the guise of her sister Su Yue. Su Yun was deceived and rushed to the appointment, falling into a trap.
When Dongfang Rui said this, he stopped and the room fell into dead silence for a while.
Dongfang Xiao didn't tell him what happened next. For him, it was enough to know that it was Wu Lirong who set the trap and chased Su Yun.
"Wu Lirong's ability to use pursuing troops must have been approved by his father. No matter whether she sent people secretly or openly, it has nothing to do with me."
Dongfang Rui clenched his hands tightly and gritted his teeth: "Only when I get Wu Lirong's head can I have an explanation with your mother."
Wu Bin's heart surged when he heard this, and his blood boiled all over. It was so rare to fall in love with a man as much as the master did. He could follow such a person, and even if it came to an end, he would never regret it!
Su Li smiled coldly and poured cold water on her mercilessly: "Dongfang Xiao asked you to go against the Wu family, and you are willing to be used as a gunman by him?!"
Dongfang Rui frowned slightly, and Su Li suddenly said the name "Dongfang Xiao" bluntly. Although the relationship between him and the third brother was not close, her calling him this way was too unscrupulous.
"Miss..." Wu Bin's expression also changed slightly.
Su Li turned her head, Ling Li's eyes stopped Wu Bin, "If my mother were still with you, she would definitely advise you to think twice before you act. Just imagine, if you really lead troops to attack the Wu family, how much chaos will be caused in Yunjing City ?”
"this… "
Dongfang Rui hesitated and said nothing. He was only thinking about revenge, and he had not thought about the consequences of rushing into Wu's house.
Dongfang Rui's reaction made Su Li a little disappointed, but then he thought about it, if his cheap father had a smart enough mind, he would not have been used as a weapon by Su Zipei in his previous life. He is a brave and foolhardy person. At most, he has some achievements in cultivating warriors. He should have thought of it a long time ago.
"Miss, please explain it clearly." Wu Bin was a little impatient and couldn't help but ask: "After the master sat down and made the decision, I felt that it was very inappropriate, but I couldn't think of a reason why."
Su Li glanced at Wu Bin, then turned back to Dongfang Rui and continued: "I heard that you have set a date for the auction, the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. It is a good day, but once the date is set, it will mean that everyone in the martial arts world will Major sects will flock to Yunjing City in large numbers."
Dongfang Rui's expression finally changed. The biggest dream of every martial arts sect is to have a country's territory as a backing. If he breaks out in chaos in Yunjing City at this time, those sects will definitely take advantage of him. How could the imperial brother make such a stupid mistake after he has been in office for many years.
"Dongfang Xiao is old. His princes are all staring at the emperor's throne, each with their own ideas, just like you back then."
A meaningful smile appeared on Su Li's face, "I don't know how you felt when you watched Dongfang Xiao sweep across the world and become the emperor of Dahan Kingdom, but his sons obviously did not inherit that deep scheming. The eldest prince He is working side by side with the Hehuan Sect, and the third prince is also assisted by the sect’s advisers. What do you think Dongfang Xiao will think when he sees this situation?"
"I..." Dongfang Rui's face darkened. When Su Li said this, if he didn't understand anymore, then he would really be an out-and-out idiot.
Dongfang Xiao wants to use his hand to eliminate the sect forces behind the prince!
Dongfang Rui felt bitter in his heart. When the third brother told him about the Wu family, he really thought that the third brother had softened his heart.
It turns out that the third brother had this idea.
Su Li's analysis was well-founded, and Dongfang Rui had no reason not to believe it. Dongfang Rui was also relieved to see that his own daughter not only grew up, but also inherited her mother's quick thinking.
Yun'er, you must have sent her to me because you couldn't bear to see me continue to be in such pain and stupidity, right
Although she hasn't recognized me as her father yet, even if she keeps watching her live like this, she is already satisfied.
Dongfang Rui's heart was ups and downs, but finally he calmed down. He looked at Su Li steadily and said, "Then... what do you think I should do?"
Su Li's eyes turned cold, "I'm just making a suggestion. It's up to you to decide what the prince wants to do. Since I can detect the movements in the palace, Dongfang Xiaohe and other sects can definitely detect it. You are already The arrow is on the string and must be fired. But there are many ways to attack the Wu family... "
Half an hour later, the tea had gone cold.
Su Li stood up, gave a salute, and left the palace without saying a word. Dongfang Xiao was sure of Dongfang Rui's character, but he never took into account the variable Su Li.
Back in the side mansion, Su Li started to buy a large amount of secret medicines non-stop, including poisons and wound medicines.
Fortunately, Wu Bin was smart and knew that Su Li was obsessed with refining medicine, so he sent a large amount of medicinal materials and directly moved 80% of the palace's inventory.
Su Li did not refuse, because she was indeed short of medicinal materials, and there were some things that could not be bought with just money. Only those with a background like Dongfang Rui's were qualified to get them. If she refused outright based on the agreement between Dongfang Rui and Dongfang Rui, Then she is downright naive.
In this way, Wu Bin also saw the hope of reconciliation between the young lady and the old man, and immediately spent a lot of financial resources to purchase medicinal materials.
In such peaceful and uneventful days, time passed and it came to September 15th.
On this day, it rained heavily.
The entire city of Yunjing was wrapped in a curtain of rain, and almost no one could be seen on the streets. People were reluctant to go out on rainy days.
In front of Prince Rui's Mansion, thousands of Yuyun troops were ready to go out, in a state of solemn killing, with murderous intent boiling over!
Dongfang Rui was dressed in military uniform with a cold expression. Rain dripped down the edge of his helmet. Next to him, Wu Bin also had a cold expression. He held a long gun and shouted: "Let's go!"
boom! !
The fierce horse gallops, splashing countless muddy water!
In the blink of an eye, the Wu family's residence was surrounded, surprising many people who thought he was going to rebel.
Dongfang Rui's target turned out to be the Wu family of the general's mansion. Why
According to legend, Dongfang Rui almost married the daughter of the Wu family back then, so how could he now be at war with her
Suddenly surrounded, the Wu family was already in chaos. The female relatives living in the backyard even began to pack up and run away. Only the direct descendants of the Wu family in the main house still retained a trace of calmness.
"Dad, there must be a misunderstanding about this matter. Why don't you let me go and negotiate?"
Wu Jin stood up and said respectfully. Wu Xiuxiu's eyes were full of worry. If the silly brother acts recklessly at this time, someone will be killed.
General Wu and Wu Suijun glanced at Wu Jin with admiration, and then said in a deep voice: "That's not appropriate! Jin'er, you and Xiu'er should hide in the tunnel. King Rui is fully prepared this time. If the person who comes is not good, he will definitely I won’t give up easily, I will go meet him personally!”
"father!"
As soon as these words came out, all the children in the hall suddenly showed worry. Wu Suijun was the backbone of the Wu family. If something happened to him, the Wu family would fall apart.
"That's it!" Wu Suijun stood up and sneered, "I don't believe it, Dongfang Rui dares to kill me! He can kill me!"
But at this moment, Wu Bin's voice full of murderous intent suddenly came into the palace, and the sound was loud: "By the emperor's order, the eighth prince personally went into battle to capture the real murderer of Su Yun back then, Wu Lirong! If anyone dares to stop him, Kill without mercy!"
Wu Suijun's face changed drastically. Dongfang Rui didn't play according to common sense at all. He clearly wanted to exterminate the Wu family, but his words were clever. Even if all the Wu family members were killed, Dongfang Rui could He used the excuse to prevent him from apprehending the real culprit.
When did Dongfang Rui, who only knew how to read books from sages and was upright, become so sinister? !
"kill!"
For a moment, the shouts of killing were loud, and the Wu family screamed continuously. Neither Wu Bin nor Dongfang Rui showed any sign of mercy. They had suppressed it for too long.
In the haze of mist and rain, Su Li stood on the roof and watched the Wu family's flames soaring into the sky, with a faint smile on her lips.
Dongfang Xiao, if you want to use Dongfang Rui, you have to see if I agree.
Fang Yuan stood aside, holding an umbrella for Su Li, and couldn't help but send a message: "Aren't we... going to help?"
Su Li shook his head slightly and looked at the shadow passing over the roof in the darkness. "We have more important things to do. Let Qu Qingning pay attention to Wu Lirong. As long as she is killed, the Wu family will receive the interest."
Fang Yuan hummed softly and turned to look into the distant void. Under the noise of the rain, it would be difficult for other sects to detect their presence. In addition, Su Li had set up a formation in advance. Even if the group of people rushed in front of them, they would not be able to detect their presence. They may not be found either.
Soon, the first group of black shadows arrived on the street where the Wu family was located, and their leader was Elder Dao who had arrived in Yunjing a few days ago.
His spiritual consciousness swept across the street, and Elder Dao found Yuyunjun and Dongfang Rui guarding the door. A sneer immediately appeared on his face.
The Wu family belongs to the eldest prince, and the cooperation between the Hehuan Sect and the eldest prince has not been broken. Naturally, they must be mutually beneficial and help each other. There are not many people around Dongfang Rui. As long as he captures Dongfang Rui and threatens him, the Wu family's crisis will disappear.
As for killing Dongfang Rui... He doesn't want to offend the Dongfang family for the Hehuan Sect for the time being.
"Come with me to capture Dongfang Rui, and leave the rest alone!"
Elder Dao secretly sent an order, and the people from the Hehuan Sect immediately dodged and attacked, and in the blink of an eye they were less than fifty meters behind Dongfang Rui.
at this time!
brush! brush! brush! brush! brush! brush! brush!
Eight figures in black robes jumped from the roof of the nearby building at the same time, blocking out the sky and the sun. Without saying a word, they rushed towards the Hehuan Sect. As soon as they made contact, several people from the Hehuan Sect immediately screamed and fell down. The rainy night was dyed red.
Elder Sword's expression was horrified, and all the dead souls were at risk. The eight innates were all at the fourth level of innateness. Dongfang Rui actually had a back-up plan. He had miscalculated!
