Zeluo's heart was sinking. He knew that after he told the answer, he would probably die soon.
But if I don't say it now, I'm afraid I won't be able to get any benefits in my own house, and I might die even worse.
"Food in white clothes." After Zeluo said these four words, he seemed to have felt the cold edge of the horizontal knife on his neck, and his hairs stood up involuntarily.
Li Hong was very calm and continued to tease Bai Qi with one hand. The expression on his face did not change at all. He continued to ask calmly: "Are you the one who temporarily went to Yumen Pass to pick up the cement, or were you the one who picked it up in the first place?"
Li Hong vaguely felt that he had made a mistake at Yumen Pass, and it seemed that he had done the right thing by killing Kashim.
Maybe Kashim was the real connector, but unfortunately he was shot to death on the tower before the cement arrived.
"His Royal Highness the Third Prince in white clothes is the real contact person, but he disappeared for no reason at Yumen Pass, so the last general went to contact him." Zeluo's words flickered, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.
"Are you sure you don't know whether he is missing or dead?" Li Hong glanced at him lightly.
Zeluo really couldn't connect the gentle and jade-like young man in front of him with the ruthless and decisive executioner in the eyes of some merchants in Yumen Pass.
He hung Kashim on the tower all night and was blown away by the cold wind all night. When he set out early the next morning, he shot him without saying a word!
What a cunning method and cruel heart! Although it is said that the folk customs behind Yumen Pass are tough and it is common for people to fight to death, even in Qiuci City, two or three people will die on any given day.
But a young guardian like this, who hangs him up on a tower in the cold wind when he disagrees, and then shoots him without saying a word the next morning, is no different from a murderous devil.
Zeluo looked at Li Hong's faint expression and felt increasingly cold in his heart. Since his subordinates reported to him yesterday that this young man was probably the Chief Protector of the Anxi Protectorate, he could not help but treat this young man. , linked to the boy who shot Kashim at Yumenguan.
Now it seems that this is indeed the case. He lowered his head and glanced at Li Hong's indifferent eyes, and Zeluo said without daring to look at him: "It is said that he was shot by a young man in the Yumenguan Tower."
"Do you know about Baiyi Dashi?" Li Hong continued to ask.
"Today is about to end..." Before Zeluo finished speaking, he saw a man behind Li Hong who didn't look like a man, stood up and walked out.
A man doesn't look like a man... A man doesn't look like a man... Zeluo forgot to answer Li Hong's question and stared at Hua Meng's figure. His mind suddenly exploded, and the word "Prince" appeared in his mind with a bang.
The identity of the young protector in front of him immediately came to mind. Yes, except for the prince of the Tang Dynasty, who would dare to be so cruel, decisive and kill people without asking about right and wrong
Zeluo withdrew his gaze from Hua Meng, who had gone away, and looked at Li Hong with some fear and panic. He had long heard that the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty was famous for his vengeful character.
The third prince Kashim, who was dressed in white and had plenty of food, competed with him for a seat and was shot dead on the tower. And yesterday, I also competed with His Royal Highness for a seat and made rude remarks. What happened to me...
Thinking of this, Zeluo couldn't help but sweatdropped. Now that he was still blocked in his own house, he was probably in danger.
"Do you know Bai Chun? She is the thirteenth daughter of King Bai Suni of Qiuci, the one who was sent to the Tang Dynasty early." Li Hong had a faint smile on his face, but in Zeluo's eyes, it became very dangerous.
Zeluo swallowed his saliva. He really couldn't bring up the idea of catching the prince and blackmailing these people.
Because he could feel that the beautiful woman standing between him and the prince would definitely kill him before he rushed over.
Li Hong looked at him and nodded, smiled with satisfaction, and continued to ask: "Bai Suni is still alive, where are they? Are they imprisoned by you?"
But at this moment, loud shouts of death and screams came from the gate of Zeluo Mansion, which was far away from here.
Li Hong couldn't help but frowned, and stretched out his hand to comfort Bai Qi. Bai Qi raised its ears that could not stand up naturally, listened to the shouts of killing outside, and started to grin and whine again.
Without even looking at his size, he was accidentally trampled to death on the soles of his feet. He still had the nerve to whine. The howling of a wolf didn't sound like a wolf, and the barking of a dog didn't sound like a barking.
Zeluo rolled his eyes and saw that everyone was attracted by the loud shouting of murder at the door. They immediately overturned the case in front of them and ran outside.
Pei Xingjian, Ma Zai and Li Jingxuan were shocked and shouted hurriedly: "Stop him, we must not let him escape."
Before he finished speaking, he hurriedly stood up and ran out to chase the fleeing Zeluo.
Li Hong was still very calm. After comforting Bai Qi for a while, he slowly raised his head and said to himself: "I hope the 'Jingwei' can stop the person delivering the message to Bai Yi Dashi on the road. Otherwise, this Western Region It’s going to be really lively.”
He put Bai Qi into Xiaoxue's chest, then stood up and walked slowly out. When passing by the musician and Hu Ji who were already stagnant in the corner, Li Hong bent down to pick up Hu Ji's clothes scattered on the carpet. , looking at Hu Ji who was still shirtless, threw the clothes over, and then slowly walked out of the hall.
It had already darkened, and Xia Zhi and others had been pestering Li Hong for a long time about why the days here were so short. They had never forgotten this question since they arrived here.
Li Hong was really annoyed, so he found a round spherical object and gave it to her, telling her that this is the sun, this is... this area is the Western Regions, and he randomly found a point for her to use as the axis of the earth. Then ask her to spin the ball in her hand.
Looking at Xia Zhi's blank eyes, he seemed to be saying, no matter how stupid I am, you don't have to lie to me like this to trick a puppy into getting rich. In desperation, Li Hong had no choice but to explain again: "All the lands in the Western Regions have been since The days from the spring equinox to the autumnal equinox are too long, so in winter, God shortens the days and lengthens the nights for balance. "
"Oh, if you say this, my slave will understand. Who can understand if you take a ball? It must be a puppy's toy. Bai Qi will return it to you."
“….”
As Li Hong's footsteps approached the entrance of Zeluo's house, the sound of fighting gradually subsided, and the torches on the street illuminated the whole street like daylight.
Xia Zhi and Xiaoxue followed Li Hong and stood at the door, while Mang Zhong had already put the horizontal knife in his hand on Zeluo's neck.
Pei Xingjian, Ma Zai, and Li Jingxuan looked at each other in shock. They really couldn't believe what they were seeing. The smell of blood floating in the air shocked them even more. His Royal Highness's personal guards were so powerful!
Zeluo's three hundred men tried to break through His Royal Highness the Prince's fifty-man personal guard at the door, but they failed, and they failed miserably.
What shocked the three of them was that not one of the fifty personal guards of His Royal Highness was seriously injured, and some were just flesh and blood wounds.
The three of them gradually became relieved at this time, and began to firmly believe that His Royal Highness, with more than 20,000 people, was able to support the prairie wolf Ashina and flee in panic on the grassland.
"Everyone is detained in the barracks and will be sent to Menyuan together tomorrow. There is a shortage of strong laborers there right now. Zeluo will be under strict supervision and will immediately find Wenfa and Wutian for interrogation overnight." Li Hong said coldly as he looked at the people with their disarmed heads. .
After saying this, he motioned for Pei Xingjian and the others to follow him. Under the protection of other soldiers, they held torches and headed towards Zerona's old house.
Quan Yi was already waiting at the door. Under the light of the fire, when he saw Li Hong, he hurried over.
First, he glanced at Pei Xingjian and others, and then whispered in Li Hong's ear: "Dadu protector, it's official now. This Zuluo is so rich that it is unparalleled in the country. Even the generals are wondering if it is the gold and silver of the entire Qiuci Kingdom." All the treasures are hidden here.”
Quan Yi's eyes were excited, and he looked even happier than if he had won the battle.
Li Hong sneered and said, "Be careful. If you have money, you must have life to spend it. That Luo has been hidden for a long time, but in the end it doesn't belong to us."
"Yes, what the Protector taught me is that the general has learned the lesson." Quan Yi lowered his head and patted his helmet, hehe said.
Li Hong walked slowly inside under his leadership. As if he remembered something, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Quan Yi, and then said: "I don't object to the correspondence between you two, but can you Is there something wrong with not using me as a messenger? Or does she not know where you are?"
Quan Yi showed a rare expression of embarrassment and said vaguely: "I don't want to protect the general, but...but the princess said...said..."
"She slandered me like this again?"
"That's not true, it's just that Her Royal Highness the Princess said that it would be faster to give the letter to you than to me, and it is safer and will not be opened for inspection." Quan Yi said awkwardly.
"Okay, just do this." Li Hong followed Quan Yi into an open space behind the house, and then saw more than a hundred soldiers guarding the open space.
Just as he was about to ask Quan Yi, he saw Quan Yi saying: "Dadu Protector, what do you think this is? It's really hidden. If the general hadn't suddenly stepped on this place, I would have thought it was the real thing. I didn't expect that there was a big cave underneath." The storage room, please.”
Quan Yi and Li Hong slowly walked into the basement under the light of torches. The torches had already illuminated the basement, which was more like an underground palace.
Li Hong sniffed and murmured: "Huh? There is a vent here, which is good."
After saying that, he continued walking behind under the leadership of Quan Yi, and walked directly to a small basement. Quan Yi casually opened a box.
"Fuck!" Li Hong was startled and couldn't help shouting a word that Quan Yi didn't understand.
