Guo Xu looked at Lin Jue with twinkling eyes. He had already laid out the conditions. He thought that if Lin Jue understood the current situation, he would definitely agree. This actually did no harm to Lin Jue at all. If he and Lu Zhongtian were willing to accept him, he should
He was so grateful that he burst into tears. Moreover, his concubine's life was in his own hands, and he could not refuse.
Lin Jue bit his lower lip and fell into deep thought. In fact, before he came, he had thought about Guo Xu's purpose of kidnapping Lu Wu. After thinking about it, in addition to revenge on himself, he should also put forward conditions. And these conditions were not
It's hard to guess that it's just forcing him to leave King Jin and work for him. The other thing is to make him embarrass Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru. Yang Jun has already revealed the latter, but actually it's not hard to guess.
But even though he knew the general terms of these conditions, when Guo Xu actually proposed it, Lin Jue found that he could not agree at all. In fact, Lin Jue didn't care who became the prince. Outsiders just mistakenly thought that Lin Jue was a member of the King of Jin. In fact, Lin Jue
From the bottom of his heart, Lin Jue has always wanted to stay away from this matter. If he had to support Guo Xu, Lin Jue felt it was not completely unacceptable before. However, now, Lin Jue will never support Guo Xu.
Because Guo Xu used despicable methods and threatened Lu Wu's life, which was despised by Lin Jue. Lin Jue would rather support a heartless and incompetent person like Guo Mian as the emperor than let Yin Shan be despicable like Guo Xu.
Such people get the throne.
"Lin Jue, it's up to you to agree or not. What's the hesitation for a man?" Guo Xu shouted.
Lin Jue frowned and said: "Why are you so anxious? Are you not allowing me to think about it? You want to do it for yourself, but I don't want to think about it for myself? Besides, you said that Lu Wu and Xiao Hu are in your hands, but I didn't even see them.
, I don’t know if you have already killed them. I want to see them first before talking."
Guo Xu sneered and said: "Can I still lie to you? Your wife Ru has been well taken care of since she came to my house, and she hasn't lost a single hair on her head. Don't worry."
Lin Jue shook his head and said: "I have to see Lu Wu. If I can't see Lu Wu, I won't agree. I have to confirm that Lu Wu and Xiaohu are safe and sound before talking about it. You kidnapped hostages, don't you understand the rules of the world?
, to make a deal, the hostages must be safe. This is the basic truth."
Guo Xu frowned and thought for a while and said: "Forget it, I'll let you go and meet the person. Take him to meet the person. Lin Jue, I am waiting for your reply here. I will give you one stick of incense to meet the person. One stick of incense
After that, you agreed to the conditions, wrote a document of allegiance as a pledge, and I took the person away for you, and we will be together from now on. If you didn't agree, I also asked you to take the person away, but you took away two bodies.
Dead bodies. And in the future, more people from your Lin family will die, so you have to prepare dozens more coffins, because they will be used at any time."
Lin Jue didn't want to have any more verbal quarrels with Guo Xu, so he said in a deep voice: "We'll talk about it after we see that everyone is fine."
Guo Xu frowned and waved, "Take him there."
…
Under the watchful eye of more than a dozen palace guards, Lin Jue and Bai Bing were taken to a secluded empty room at the back of the palace.
"Master Lin and Madam, please wait here. I will order someone to come and meet you. But one thing, you two must not think of anything else. In Prince Huai's Mansion, it is your ribs that give birth to two wings."
It's hard to fly even if you have wings." Zheng Zhixue said with his hands in hand.
Lin Jue knew that what he said was the truth. When they entered this secluded courtyard, Lin Jue and Bai Bing had already discovered the figures of the guards lurking in the shadow of the trees on the wall. There were also many archers on the wall watching eagerly. A little.
If there is any abnormal movement, I am afraid that a thousand arrows will pierce the heart.
After Zheng Zhixue said this, he waved his hand and led everyone away, closing the door with a clang. Only Lin Jue and his wife were left in the room, standing under the candlelight, and it suddenly became quiet.
Bai Bing was a little nervous, holding Lin Jue's hand and whispered: "Husband, they won't trap us here."
Lin Jue laughed in a low voice and said: "What a silly thing to say? Just sit down and wait. Don't be afraid, I will take care of everything."
Bai Bing nodded, and the couple sat side by side on the bench and waited. Time passed extremely slowly, and there was silence everywhere, as if time had frozen. This kind of waiting was extremely torturous, and Bai Bing had to get up several times to check at the door.
, Lin Jue took his hands and sat down. Lin Jue sat on the stool with his eyes closed as if he was taking a nap, but he also seemed to be thinking about something quietly. Bai Bing wanted to say something, but he didn't want to disturb Lin Jue, so he had to endure it.
.
Suddenly, there were noisy footsteps outside, and the door was pushed open with a bang. A wave of cold air hit their faces. Lin Jue and Bai Bing turned their heads to look, and saw a small figure appearing at the door, dimly lit by candlelight.
Below, the man's delicate and beautiful face flickered in the light and shadow.
"Green Dance!" Lin Jue stood up and shouted softly.
"Sir! Is it you?" Lu Wu cried out in shock.
"Green Dance...it's me." Lin Jue opened his arms.
Lu Wu cried loudly, ran over and jumped into her arms, hugging Lin Jue tightly and crying.
"You've suffered, Lu Wu, you've suffered. It's all my fault, it's all my fault. I should have sent someone to pick you up. You have suffered. How are you? They didn't do anything to you, right?" Lin Jue hugged Lu Wu tightly.
, holding her pretty face and looking at it, asking repeatedly.
Lu Wu's face was full of tears, sobbing and crying uncontrollably. After being imprisoned in Prince Huai's Mansion for more than a month, all the fear, worry, and self-blame were released the moment she saw Lin Jue.
He came out. His little body curled up and trembled in Lin Jue's arms, and his flower-like lips trembled, unable to speak.
"Husband, I'm going to go outside for a walk while you talk to the green dancing girl." Bai Bing said softly from the side.
Only then did Lu Wu notice that Bai Bing was also there, and hurriedly left Lin Jue's arms and saluted, "Bing'er, you're here too."
Bai Bing returned the courtesy and said, "Well, while you talk to your husband, I'll go outside and watch. Time is running out. We'll talk later."
Lu Wu nodded, and Bai Bing walked quickly to the door. In front of the door, more than a dozen guards and Zheng Zhexue were standing in the corridor. Bai Bing scolded: "You go farther away and eavesdrop on other people's conversations?"
Zheng Zhixue smacked his lips, not wanting to offend this gangster-like woman, so he waved his hands and the group of people walked away. Bai Bing stood in front of the door with his arms akimbo, like a door god.
In the room, Lin Jue once again held Lu Wu in his arms, kissed her small red lips, and comforted Lu Wu softly. Lu Wu's mood slowly calmed down.
"I didn't expect... to see the young master again. Lu Wu thought... that I would never be able to see the young master again in this life. God has mercy on me and allows me to meet the young master again. Am I just dreaming?" Lu Wu murmured.
Lin Jue kissed her cheek and whispered: "Of course it's not a dream, it's my fault. I just rushed back from Jingxi East Road a few days ago and found that you and Xiaohu hadn't returned yet, so I sent someone to look for you. Only then did I check
There is news that you and Xiaohu were kidnapped by King Huai. You are here to ask Guo Xu for help tonight. By the way, where is Xiaohu? Why haven’t you seen him?"
Lu Wu started to cry again and said: "Xiaohu... Xiaohu has suffered a lot. These people are very bad, Xiaohu... wuwuwu."
Lin Jue was startled and asked hurriedly: "Don't cry, what happened to Xiaohu?"
Lu Wu said: "In order to save me that day, Xiaohu resisted them and was beaten by them... His face was swollen. It was really pitiful."
Lin Jue breathed a sigh of relief and smiled bitterly: "I see, why did I think something happened to Xiaohu? If he resists, he will naturally suffer. What about others?"
Lu Wu said: "I haven't seen him. I haven't seen him for several days. He and I are not locked in the same room. We can only see each other every few days. I was afraid that they would be detrimental to Xiaohu, so I mentioned
I accepted this request. If they refused to let me see Xiaohu, I would go on a hunger strike and not eat, so they agreed."
Lin Jue nodded and said, "That should be fine. They may bring you here soon. They didn't torture you during this time. You weren't injured."
Lu Wu shook his head and said: "That's not true, they are quite polite to me. The King of Huaihe, Guo Xu, is also polite to me. He smiles every time he comes, but I have never spoken to him. He wants to trick me,
Am I so easily fooled? I hate him so much, this...this...bad guy."
Lin Jue smiled bitterly, Lu Wu was kind-hearted, and even at this time, she didn't have the habit of cursing people, she could only curse the word 'bad guy'.
While talking, voices came from the door.
"Sister Bai? Oh, you really came to save us. Where is uncle?"
"Xiaohu? Go see your uncle quickly. He's in the house."
Lin Jue said happily: "The little tiger is here."
When the door opened, Lin Hu's sturdy figure appeared. Seeing Lin Jue, Lin Hu looked like he wanted to cry at first, then bit his lower lip, quickly stepped forward and kowtowed to Lin Jue and said: "Uncle. Xiaohu kowtows to uncle."
.”
Lin Jue nodded slightly, stretched out his hand to pull him up and said: "Very good, I thought you were going to cry. If you dare to shed a tear, I will give you a big mouth. Remember my words, a man can save blood without shedding tears."
"
Lin Hu straightened his back and nodded: "I remember my uncle's words. Ask Sister Luwu, have I cried in so many days? I am also sixteen and an adult. I understand what it means if a man bleeds but does not shed tears.
.”
Lu Wu said softly from the side: "Yes, Xiaohu didn't shed a single tear, he is very strong. But I cried many times. I am not as good as Xiaohu."
"You are a woman, and it is a woman's right to cry. It is not the same thing." Lin Jue said with a smile.
Lin Jue asked Lin Hu to sit down and asked in detail how they were kidnapped.
