Chapter 620: Changes in the Armpits (IV)

When the people in Prince Xian's Palace were in panic and unrest, Danfeng Garden in the north of Luoyang City was peaceful and quiet.

In the dim room, Qiu Han, with a pale face, lay quietly on the bed. The pain from his broken hand made him almost unable to sleep at night.

I tossed and turned for half the night last night, and only fell asleep at dawn due to exhaustion.

Although Shen Dongshan found the best doctor in Luoyang City to treat him, Qiu Han's left hand was broken and could not be restored. Therefore, he could only silently endure the double torture of body and mind, burying the humiliation in his heart.

"hiss!"

Suddenly, Qiu Han took a deep breath, frowned, and opened his eyes suddenly. He had just turned over in his sleep and accidentally moved the wound, causing him to wake up again in pain.

"Huh! Cough cough..."

After a moment of stalemate, when the pain eased a little, Qiu Han let out a sigh of relief, and then burst into a violent cough.

"Brother Qiu, drink some water!"

Accompanied by a voice full of guilt, a bowl of water was handed to Qiu Han.

Hearing this, Qiu Han was startled and no longer cared about the pain of his broken hand. He suddenly jumped up from the bed and looked towards the bedside with caution.

At this moment, the person standing beside the bed was Liu Xunyi, who had a tired face and a forced smile.

"It's you?" After identifying who it was, Qiu Han slowly let down his guard and asked suspiciously, "So early in the morning, what are you doing..."

"I came to look for the Marquis, but he wasn't here, so I came to see Brother Qiu." Liu Xunyi looked at Qiu Han's broken arm with shame in his eyes, and said, "Brother Qiu, I was sorry for you and caused you to lose your left hand. Your injury..."

"It's just a minor injury, why bother about it?" Qiu Han interrupted nonchalantly, shaking his head, and then gulped down the water. His complexion gradually became rosier, and he explained, "In the past few days, the Marquis and Qin Wei have been hiding during the day and going out at night, and they haven't returned yet."

"Hidden during the day and out at night?" Liu Xunyi was stunned. "Why are they out?"

"Or help Ling Xiaoxiao track down Yan Bugui's whereabouts." Qiu Han pondered, "The Marquis only told me to rest and recover, and didn't say much about other things."

In response, Liu Xunyi just nodded silently, seeming a little absent-minded.

"You look a little abnormal today." Qiu Han's eyes moved, looking up and down at the dusty Liu Xunyi, "You came to Danfeng Garden so early in the morning, aren't you afraid of arousing Luo Tianjin's suspicion?"

"This is a matter of great importance. Don't even doubt it. I will come even if it means going through mountains of swords and seas of fire."

"It's a serious matter?" Seeing Liu Xunyi's strange and incoherent words, Qiu Han was confused and asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"

"To be honest, Luo Tianjin may have known my identity. I am afraid I will die today."

"what?"

Qiu Han was horrified and no longer cared about the pain of his wound. He grabbed Liu Xunyi's arm and asked impatiently, "How could Luo Tianjin know your identity? What happened?"

"It's a long story, but the root cause is that I didn't think carefully enough and watched the hidden danger become a disaster." Liu Xunyi said vaguely, "Anyway, it's useless to regret now. I guess Luo Tianjin must be sending people to track down my whereabouts at this time."

"This..." Qiu Han's face was solemn, his eyes were erratic, he wanted to urge Liu Xunyi to escape, but then he thought of the current situation, so he changed the subject and asked hesitantly, "What are your plans?"

"Give it a try, life and death are up to fate!" Liu Xunyi said with a bitter smile, "In short, I can't just leave, otherwise you will be implicated. Luo Tianjin is vindictive, and if he can't kill me to vent his anger, he will definitely take his anger out on you. I came to tell you this because I hope that the Marquis can prepare early so that you won't be caught off guard when the time comes. I think that there is no hope of recruiting and suppressing the rebellion is also difficult, so it's better..."

"Not as good as what?"

"Go home and find another way."

"how about you?"

"I must return to the Xianwang Mansion." Liu Xunyi said seriously, "Only in this way can I have a glimmer of hope."

"Stupid!" Qiu Han said angrily, "You are simply walking into a trap. You will die if you go back."

"Maybe!" Liu Xunyi didn't care and smiled lightly, "Brother Qiu, don't worry about me. I have already put life and death aside. If I can escape by luck, you will naturally not worry about your lives. If I am unfortunate... you should leave Luoyang City as soon as possible, without wasting a moment."

"But……"

"Don't worry! For the sake of the life and death of the Song Dynasty, I will risk my life to fight them, destroy the relationship between Luo Tianjin and the young king of Qin, and try my best to... put their rebellion plan on hold temporarily to buy more time for the court." Liu Xunyi instructed in an orderly manner, "Tell the Marquis for me that Luo Tianjin has deep roots in the martial arts world. If the court wants to deal with him, it must not go straight to Huanglong, otherwise it will surely lead to chaos in the world. Therefore, if you want to deal with Luo Tianjin, you must first cut off his wings, cut off his hands and feet, make him a lonely man, and then clear him out. Remember, Luo Tianjin is extremely smart and ruthless, and you must not take it lightly when fighting him."

At this time, Liu Xunyi kept chattering and nagging, as if a dying person was making a will, which made Qiu Han feel very uncomfortable.

"Okay, I should go back! If I wait for the people from the Xianwang Mansion to come to my house, I might not even have a chance to quibble."

"and many more!"

Before Liu Xunyi could get up and leave, Qiu Han suddenly stopped her: "You have no say in this matter. Wait for the Marquis to come back first!"

"I……"

"Liu Xunyi, come out! I know you are here, stop hiding, come out now!"

Before Liu Xunyi could finish his words, there was a sudden loud noise outside.

Hearing this, Qiu Han's expression suddenly changed, and his right hand subconsciously reached for the sword beside the bed.

"It's Luo Ningyu!"

Liu Xunyi recognized the voice outside and hurriedly advised: "Brother Qiu, please be patient, I will go to meet her." "No, you hide first..."

"You can hide for a while, but you can't hide for a lifetime!"

Liu Xunyi ignored Qiu Han's obstruction, jumped up and quickly slipped out of the room.

At this moment, Luo Ningyu was surrounded by a group of Danfeng Garden guards, and they were all talking and arguing.

"Ning Yu!"

After much hesitation, Liu Xunyi finally mustered up the courage to appear in front of Luo Ningyu.

As soon as she saw Liu Xunyi, Luo Ningyu's noisy voice stopped abruptly, and a layer of tears unconsciously filled her eyes.

"This is not a place to talk, you come with me."

Without waiting for Luo Ningyu to respond, Liu Xunyi suddenly grabbed her wrist and quickly left Danfeng Garden under the astonished gazes of the guards.

Luo Ningyu, who was silently crying while walking quickly, suddenly straightened her eyes, shook off Liu Xunyi's hand with all her strength, and asked, "Where else are you going to hide? Where else can you hide? My father has sent people to block the entire city, and he expected that you were hiding in Danfeng Garden, and he will be there soon."

"Really?" Faced with Luo Ningyu's urgency, Liu Xunyi couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Xunyi, tell me the truth, are you a traitor planted by the court next to my father?" Luo Ningyu looked at Liu Xunyi expectantly. At this moment, her heart wished it could jump out of her throat.

How much did she wish Liu Xunyi would flatly refuse? As long as Liu Xunyi told her in person that he was not a traitor, Luo Ningyu would believe him without reservation.

It’s a pity that no matter how Luo Ningyu asked, Liu Xunyi remained silent and just stared at her blankly with sad eyes.

Liu Xunyi recalled what Xunzhen said to him last night, so he really didn't want to continue deceiving Luo Ningyu and using Luo Ningyu.

"Ning Yu, I can swear to heaven that I have never thought of harming anyone in the Xianwang Mansion..."

"What do you mean?" Facing Liu Xunyi's ambiguous words, Luo Ningyu became more and more nervous, "Are you..."

"Ningyu, actually I..."

"Don't say anything! Don't say anything!" Suddenly, Luo Ningyu covered her ears with her hands and shook her head like a rattle, "I don't want to hear anything! I don't want to know anything!"

"Ning Yu, I..."

"Go!" Luo Ningyu pointed to the distance and said resolutely, "The farther you go, the better!"

"This……"

"Go!" Luo Ningyu didn't give Liu Xunyi a chance to explain. She urged him while crying, "My father has set up an oil pan in the mansion and wants to... You must leave immediately. With your ability, you can definitely escape from Luoyang City. Go quickly, it will be too late if you don't leave now!"

"I can't leave!"

"You have to go!"

This was the first time that Luo Ningyu acted so resolute and unquestionable in front of Liu Xunyi.

Looking at Luo Ningyu, whose eyes were tearful but determined, Liu Xunyi felt heartbroken and overwhelmed with guilt.

If it weren't for him, Luo Ningyu wouldn't have to suffer so much.

"Liu Xunyi, whether you are a spy of the court or not, I don't want you to die, do you understand?" Luo Ningyu burst into tears, and I felt pity for her. "Go away! I don't want to see you again in this life. After you leave, I will ask my father not to pursue this matter anymore, so that you don't have to worry about the future..."

"You let me go without permission, how can the Palace Master let you off so easily?"

"I am his daughter after all, and my life is not in danger." Luo Ningyu said sadly, "Liu Xunyi, do you really care about me? If you care about me, why do you let me suffer the pain of being caught in a dilemma and having my heart pierced by thousands of arrows?"

Luo Ningyu's words were like a sharp sword that pierced deeply into Liu Xunyi's heart, causing his whole body to stiffen and his body to tremble uncontrollably.

"Ningyu, I'm sorry..."

"Go away! Don't let me see you again!"

At this moment, looking at Luo Ningyu who was deeply hurt by him, Liu Xunyi really wanted to obey her arrangements regardless of everything, escape from here alone, and never let her be sad again.

Because staying means continuing to disguise, continue to deceive, and continue to exploit.

"I……"

"Liu Xunyi, where are you going?"

However, before Liu Xunyi could respond, a cold voice suddenly sounded from behind Luo Ningyu.

As soon as this voice came out, Luo Ningyu and Liu Xunyi were both refreshed and their faces changed suddenly. The difference was that Liu Xunyi's face showed a hint of bitterness and helplessness, while Luo Ningyu's face was full of pain and despair.

Looking back suddenly, I saw a tall figure as straight as a gun, standing quietly at the entrance of the alley, emitting an indescribable majesty from head to toe.

The person who came was Luo Tianjin.
