Xue Lin reined up his horse and stood outside the city gate, looking at the convoy disappearing into the horizon. Then he suddenly turned his horse's head and said in a deep voice, "Go to the prison!" When he finished speaking, the horse's reins were already vibrating and he was heading towards the prison. Speeding away in the direction. Yang Li and other accompanying archers also followed suit. Deep in the prison, there seems to be no big difference between day and night. The light is so dim that it is difficult for those inside to distinguish between day and night. This is already a kind of torture. Over time, people with weak will will suffer mental breakdown without torture. Hu Luyan seemed not to be affected at all. He should eat and sleep. When he was in a good mood, he could still lie on the simple wooden bed, swinging his legs leisurely and humming songs from the grassland. . Such as this time. Hearing the sound of the lock being unlocked, he raised his head and took a look. When he saw Xue Lin entering the cell, he was startled for a moment, and then whistled, "I have been friends with Governor Xue for a long time. I didn't expect that this is the first time." The official meeting happened in this prison, which can be regarded as a unique first encounter! However, I didn’t expect that Governor Xue was a murderous demon on the battlefield, but looking like this, he looks like a human being!" Hu Luyan smiled brightly, but every word he spoke was like a knife tempered with poison. Xue Lin didn't even move his eyebrows, "The fourth prince also speaks Chinese very well. He has no accent at all. After all, he is half of us Zhou people!" The smile on Hu Luyan's face froze visibly. He snorted softly and said, no longer polite, "Master Xue, Governor Yu, deigned to come to the prison to see Xiao Wang just for this taunt." "Of course not!" Xue Lin crossed his legs over the bench and sat down, as if he wanted to have a long conversation, "I'm here to discuss a deal with the fourth prince."
"Oh?" Hu Luyan raised his eyebrows lightly, showing no interest at all. Xue Lin was not annoyed, and his tone was still calm and indifferent, "If the fourth prince is waiting for Beidi and the Turks to encircle Anxi, and someone takes advantage of the chaos to rescue you, then don't wait any longer. After tonight, I will change your place. , your people can’t be found.” Hu Luyan didn't speak for a while, but the corners of his mouth suddenly pursed slightly, and his body stretched slightly. "The fourth prince has always been in a low position in Beidi because his biological mother was a Han slave. It is not easy to climb to his current position. Now that you are coming back to Beiguan, I don't know what kind of benefits the Lord of Di or Xiangnan has promised you, but the fourth prince is here After so many days of quiet in the prison, my mind should be clearer, and I must have begun to suspect that I have been tricked. I estimate that in less than two days, your country will definitely come to negotiate with me and demand the return of the fourth prince. You are better than me. Knowing more about the situation in your country, I wonder how sincere the fourth prince thinks your country will be in exchange for you?" Xue Lin's tone was neither fast nor slow, and his voice was also low, but every word seemed to carry a huge weight. Every time he said it, Hu Luyan's face turned gray, and his shoulders He was visibly slumped, but he still held on and said, "Do you think I can believe you just by saying a few words?" "Believe it or not, the fourth prince has a brain and can make judgments on his own. If you think I am alarmist, just watch it slowly. Anyway... I am not in a hurry!" Xue Lin, the golden sword horse, sat there with a serious look on his face. , as if blending into the surrounding darkness, but the invisible pressure was everywhere, making Hu Luyan feel stiff to the tips of his fingers. "How did Governor Xue know about the affairs in southern Hunan?" For a moment, he stared at Xue Lin and asked. "I not only know about Xiangnan, I also know that the person who came to Beiguan with you this time is the third son of the King of Xiangnan, Wei Xuazhi, who was supposed to be held hostage in Wangjing City." Xue Lin flicked his sleeves indifferently, "Of course the fourth prince can think that I I'm deliberately deceiving you, but if I didn't know this, how could I have found the Fallen Immortal Tower when you first arrived in Beiguan? Fourth Prince... I know far more than you think. So here's the question , guess where I learned this?" Although Hu Luyan kept his face strong, his face was still stiff for a moment, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It turns out that Governor Xue is not only very heroic on the battlefield, but he is also an expert in playing tricks with the mind. I really admire him!" "It's really a heart attack. Whether you believe me or not, it’s up to you, and it’s up to you how to choose!” Xue Lin was still there, straightening his mouth, and stood up, “The fourth prince is thinking about it, and he will understand it after a while. Someone will come and change your place, believe me, it will be safer for you." After saying this, Xue Lin strode out, and the cell door was locked tightly again. When night fell, he stood on a two-story building not far away, watching the prison where he was still in a sea of fire half an hour ago. Hu Luyan's face turned pale as the fighting in the prison was stalemate. "This could also be a show by Governor Xue to lure me into a trap, a trick by you Han people?" "I still said the same thing. Believe it or not, I am the fourth prince!" Xue Lin didn't even raise his eyelids. In the prison, Xue Lin had already made a plan. Those people failed to get a bargain. Instead of achieving their goals, they suffered heavy losses. They were quickly defeated. Several people escaped. Most of them died, but there were still a few scattered ones. He was caught. Just in case, his hands, feet and jaw had been removed and taken to Xue Lin. "Saihan?" Hu Luyan looked at one of them, but his expression changed drastically. This is a close confidant of the Second Prince of Beidi, and he is not someone Xue Lin can just invite for a show. "Prince!" Hu Luyan's confidant, who had been arranged by Xue Lin to hide aside quietly and saw the entire situation in the prison clearly, came forward, stared at Saihan on the ground with red eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "As soon as they came up. Those who go to your cell are all trying to kill you." At this point, what else does Hu Luyan not understand? His expression changed several times, and there were various struggles on his face. Xue Lin didn't know what to do and just listened to Yang Li's return. This time, if nothing else is done, whether it is southern Hunan or Beidi, the fine work in Beiguan should have been almost destroyed. Such a huge price is naturally a big deal. It seems that a war is inevitable. It's just that there is one more Wei Xunzhi, and he has to guard against all kinds of dirty tricks. With shadows in Xue Lin's eyes, he whispered a few words to Yang Li, who immediately clasped his fists and accepted the order. The fire in the prison had been extinguished. Xue Lin looked down at the place, without urging Hu Luyan behind him. He just stood with his hands behind his back like that. He was also Yue Zhi Yuanting.
Hu Luyan was silent for a moment, and finally said through gritted teeth, "What does Governor Xue want? Since we are talking about business, we must see our sincerity." "This is natural!" Xue Lin raised his eyebrows slightly, "But the fourth prince can rest assured. I have just learned to do business, and I am not yet proficient in the art of cheating without business. Although you have been deceived once, I will not deceive you." you." Hu Luyan listened, and his forehead twitched uncontrollably twice. Can this person speak? Is there anyone who specializes in pricking people at their sore spots? However, Xue Lin still had an expressionless face, as if he was just telling the truth, and indeed, it was such a big truth. Mingyi had no idea that Governor Xue had made another venomous comment when she was out of sight. Even though it was late at night, she was still looking at the map in her hand in the carriage by candlelight. Unexpectedly, Xue Lin not only prepared wound medicine and food for her in the cage under the carriage bench, but also several volumes of detailed maps of Anxi states that only he, the governor of Anxi, could see. Mingyi's heart was filled with excitement since she discovered it, and she couldn't wait to read it. Until now, she still couldn't release it. (End of this chapter)
