In the end, Liu Xiu did not kill Luo You. He was not an easy person to kill. Joining Luo You and saving Yin Lihua was equivalent to being kind to him. Liu Xiu thought about it and decided to let Luo You live.
Looking at Liu Xiu walking towards the inner room, Luo You had mixed feelings in her heart, and she couldn't tell what she felt for a moment.
She felt that she should hate Liu Xiu. After all, it was Liu Xiu who caused her family to be ruined. However, at this moment, looking at Liu Xiu who showed sadness and said that he was in the same boat as her, she suddenly couldn't hate her anymore.
Luo You knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "I have one more thing to ask you. I hope... I hope your Majesty can let Senior Brother Du Qing go as well."
Liu Xiu stopped, looked back at Luo You, and then looked at Hua Feiyan with a puzzled expression. The latter explained: "Your Majesty, Luo You's senior brother Du Qing was arrested in Yeshe last night."
"Oh!" Liu Xiu nodded and said to Hua Feiyan: "As she wishes, let Du Qing be released too!"
As he spoke, his eyes fell on Luo You again and said: "You have saved Lihua twice. Now, I will give you two lives in return. From now on, we will not owe each other anything."
Luo You didn't say anything, and kowtowed three times to Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu smiled, said nothing more, and walked back to the inner room tiredly.
When Hua Feiyan took Luo You out of the hall and outside, she looked at Luo You and said meaningfully: "If I were you, just now, I would not ask Your Majesty to release Du Qing, but to ask Your Majesty to keep him."
In the palace."
Luo You misunderstood what Hua Feiyan meant, and she said seriously: "I don't care about the wealth and comfort in the palace at all."
When Hua Feiyan heard this, she shrugged and didn't say anything more on this topic. She changed the subject and asked, "Do you want to say goodbye to Mr. Yin?"
When Yin Lihua was mentioned, Luo You fell silent. If there was anyone in the Luoyang Palace who worried about her, it was Yin Lihua. If she wanted to owe someone to someone, it was Yin Lihua.
Since she entered the West Palace, Yin Lihua has treated her like a sister. Now that her true identity is exposed, she doesn't know how to face Yin Lihua.
She was silent for a long time, shook her head slowly, and said: "It's better...it's better not to go see the noble man, I..." I don't have the shame to see the noble man again.
Hua Feiyan hummed in understanding and said, "I'll take you out of the palace."
"Then...Senior Brother Du?"
"Don't worry, His Majesty has already spoken. No one will force him to stay." Hua Feiyan told the maid beside her to go to Yeting Prison and bring Du Qing out. She herself sent Luo You to the palace.
main entrance.
It was already late at night, and the palace gate was closed. However, the guards guarding the gate all knew Hua Feiyan. When they saw Hua Feiyan trying to leave the palace, they did not dare to stop her and slowly opened the palace gate.
Hua Feiyan and Luo You walked out of the palace one after another. Outside, Hua Feiyan stood still and looked back at Luo You. The latter kept her head lowered, not knowing what she was thinking.
She suddenly thought of something, took out a money bag from her arms, handed it to Luo You, and said: "Take this money, no matter where you and Du Qing go, you must always bring some money with you.
"
Luo You raised her head and looked at Hua Feiyan in surprise. She didn't expect that Hua Feiyan would treat her like this. In her impression, Hua Feiyan was a cold and unkind person.
She did not immediately pick up the purse handed over by Hua Feiyan, but said in surprise: "Hua Meiren, what are you..."
Hua Feiyan smiled, put the money bag into Luo You's hand, and said: "We are destined to meet each other once. You and Du Qing, don't go back to Shu again. Just like His Majesty said, go to a place where
No one knows you, and no one can find your place."
Luo You looked at her in surprise. Hua Feiyan continued: "Don't be used by Mo Yan and Si'a anymore. Remember, you don't have to live for anyone, you only need to live for yourself."
Luo You was moved by her words. She lowered her head and held the purse that Hua Feiyan had given her tightly, tears rolling down unconsciously.
At this time, Du Qing was escorted over by the guards.
Seeing Luo You, Du Qing couldn't believe his eyes. He said with surprise and joy: "Xiaoyou!"
"Senior brother!" Luo You wiped the tears on his face carelessly and raised his eyes to look at Du Qing.
Compared with Luo You, Du Qing was much more embarrassed, his body was stained with blood and scars, and he walked with a limp.
Seeing that Du Qing had come out, Hua Feiyan no longer stayed long and said to Luo You: "Remember what I said to you." After saying that, she waved to the guards again, and two guards quickly stepped forward.
Hua Feiyan signaled the two of them to take off their swords. The two guards did not dare to say anything. They took off their swords and handed them to Hua Feiyan. The latter did not take them, but nuzzled at Luo You and Du Qing and said:
"Take it, use it for self-defense!"
After speaking, she turned around and walked into the palace gate. Luo You looked at the sword handed over by the guard, and then looked at the back of Hua Feiyan returning to the palace. She knelt down again and kowtowed to Hua Feiyan to thank her.
Luo You and Du Qing took the swords from the guards, and then she supported Du Qing and walked forward.
Du Qing sighed as he walked: "I thought I wouldn't survive this time no matter what, but I didn't expect that Liu Xiu would let us go."
Luo You said: "Your Majesty is a person who attaches great importance to friendship. I have saved Yin Guiren twice. This time, Your Majesty gave us two lives."
Du Qing said oh at first, then frowned, looked at Luo You with some worry, and said: "Xiaoyou, you won't have feelings for Liu Xiu, will you? We are Si'a dead soldiers, and we have only one goal, which is
Kill Liu Xiu!"
Luo You lowered her eyes and said nothing. The Liu Xiu she came into contact with was completely different from the Liu Xiu Si'a taught her.
In Si'a's words, Liu Xiu was a wicked, cunning, and murderous demon king, but the real Liu Xiu was completely different from that.
Luo You's silence made Du Qing even more worried. He asked with concern: "Xiaoyou?"
"Senior brother, I don't want to go back to Chengdu."
"What did you say?" Du Qing looked surprised.
"I don't want to go back to Si'a! Senior brother, let's go to Youzhou! It's a vast place with few people. No one will know us there, and we can live the life we want!"
Du Qing suddenly stopped, as if he didn't recognize Luo You anymore, looked at her in surprise, and said: "Xiaoyou, how can you think like this, how can you say such things? If there is no master, there is no young master.
, we have died a long time ago, our lives belong to the master and the young master!"
Luo You lowered her head. She didn't want to live like this anymore. Just like Hua Feiyan said, she didn't need to live for anyone, she just needed to live for herself.
She took a deep breath, raised her head, looked at Du Qing firmly, and said: "Brother, come with me, let's go to Youzhou, a place where no one knows us and no one can find us!
"
Du Qing looked at Luo You in disbelief. He even doubted whether Liu Xiu had given her some ecstasy soup. He said in a deep voice: "This operation failed. We have already been ashamed of our master and our master. Now, what are you still doing?"
Want to escape?"
"Senior brother..."
"Stop talking, I'm not going anywhere, and you're not allowed to leave either. You have to go back to Chengdu with me to apologize to Master and Young Master!" Du Qing said without allowing anyone to refuse.
Luo You wanted to speak, but Du Qing grabbed her wrist, endured the pain and discomfort in his body, and strode forward.
Du Qing's blind obedience to his master Tian Xi and his son Mo Yan was something Luo You never expected.
In fact, even Luo You herself didn't realize that she was exactly the same as Du Qing now. The past few months since she entered the palace had greatly changed her perspective.
She was pulled away vigorously by Du Qing, and she stumbled repeatedly. She said urgently: "Brother, now is our only chance to leave. If we return to Chengdu and want to leave again, we will never..."
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly heard a whooshing sound. Du Qing and Luo You were both masters. It was extremely quiet late at night, and both of them could clearly hear the sudden sound of breaking wind.
Du Qing reacted very quickly, dragging Luo You and jumping out sideways. There was a crisp sound in his ear, a crossbow arrow was nailed to the stone bricks on the ground, and a ball of sparks shot out.
The expressions of the two of them changed at the same time, and they subconsciously raised their heads and looked towards the roofs on the roadside.
I saw a man in black slowly standing up on the roof on the left, and then, one after another, the men in black stood up on the roof, some holding swords in their hands, and some holding knives.
Bang, bang, bang! The men in black jumped down one after another from the roof. When they landed, they only made a slight sound. Both Du Qing and Luo You were familiar with these men in black. Du Qing took a step forward and said
"I am Du Qing, brothers, what are you doing?!" As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced at the crossbow arrow on the ground. If he and Luo You had been slower to dodge just now, this arrow would have nailed them.
on the body.
A man in black took two steps forward, glanced coldly at Du Qing and Luo You, and said, "The traitor must die!"
Du Qing was startled at first, then his face suddenly changed, and he said urgently: "Brother, you misunderstood, Luo You and I are not traitors!"
"The crime of assassinating the king, but being able to escape alive after being captured, I'm afraid even a fool will not believe this!" The man in black's eyes were like lightning, as sharp as a knife, and fell on Du Qing's face.
.
"Senior brother, you have indeed misunderstood. Xiaoyou and I really did not betray the young master or the sect!"
"You can keep these words to tell the King of Hell!" The man in black said in an indifferent tone, without any fluctuation.
When Du Qing heard this, his face changed at first, and then became gloomy, and said: "Brother, you are Uncle Ruan's disciples, so you can't control us, right?"
"Take off your two heads, and we will explain it to Master Tian!"
Although they are both dead soldiers of Si'a, their sects are different. Du Qing and Luo You are Tian Xi's disciples, and these men in black are Ruan Xiu's disciples.
Du Qing said coldly: "You want to kill each other?"
The man in black sneered and said, "You are wrong, we are cleaning up the house!"
As he spoke, he jumped forward with an arrow and was in front of Du Qing in an instant. Without any explanation, he stabbed his chest with a sword. Du Qing instinctively took two steps back, barely avoiding the sword's edge.
After missing a single move, the man in black did not continue to pursue. He swung his sword to the side, a cold light suddenly appeared, and struck straight at Luo You's neck.
Before Luo You could dodge, the back of her clothes suddenly tightened, and then her whole body swept backwards. It was Du Qing who forcefully pulled her out of the opponent's sword.
As soon as the man in black made a move, the other men in black rushed forward. Seeing this, Du Qing pulled Luo You back.
But the speed at which they retreated was far less than the speed at which the men in black were chasing them. Du Qing realized that it was impossible to escape unscathed tonight, and he said urgently to Luo You: "Xiaoyou, go quickly, I'll stop you
them!"
"Senior brother, if you want to leave, let's go together!" As Luo You spoke, he took out his sword and stared intently at the many men in black who were charging towards him.
They were originally companions and brothers who fought side by side, but now, they wanted to put themselves and their brothers to death.
Liu Xiu was her sworn enemy who killed her father, but Liu Xiu could have killed herself and her senior brother, but out of consideration for her kindness, she spared herself and her senior brother.
Thinking of this, Luo You wanted to cry and laugh at the same time. Her enemy let her go, but her fellow disciples wanted to kill her. Is there anything more ridiculous and ironic in the world than this?
