"But it's not important. Mr. Jia came here this time, but does he know where the Lingdi is?"

Ling Xiao also knew that there was something wrong with what he said. The other party had always kept a low profile in Dong Zhuo's camp. It was really strange that he, an outsider, knew the other party's words.

But Ling Xiao didn't intend to explain anything, it would be good to add a little mystery to himself.

"That's right, Brother Wen He can give you the answer that the Duke wants to know."

Li Ru turned and closed the door, and said to Ling Xiao.

"Oh? It seems that Mr. Jia's identity is not simple."

Emperor Han Ling wanted to do something secretly, so he must have been very concerned about his whereabouts, and he was absolutely well protected.

Jia Xu was able to track down the clues from it, so he must be a person with all-hands and eyes.

"I can't talk about it, it's just a discovery by chance."

"Everything you want to know is here."

Jia Xu made a modest statement, then took out a brocade handkerchief from his cuff and handed it to Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao stretched out his hand to take it, and felt a sudden movement in his heart, but his expression didn't change much, appearing very calm.

The reason for this is that when he took the handkerchief, the voice of the system suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Ding! The player obtains the map of the Hanling Emperor's Mausoleum, which triggers a hidden plot—the return of the dead!"

"When the player arrives at the Hanling Emperor's Mausoleum, the plot will officially start."

Ling Xiao didn't expect that just looking for a Han Lingdi would trigger a plot mission.

Judging from the name of this plot mission, there seems to be something incredible hidden in the tomb of Emperor Ling of Han~

Ling Xiao put the map into his sleeve calmly, but the next moment he was sent to the Tower of Space, it would be safer to put such an important thing in the Tower of Space.

"What? Why don't you open it and have a look?"

Seeing that Ling Xiao didn't even look at it, she put away the brocade handkerchief. Jia Xu was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking.

"Haha, no need, I can still trust the character of the two of you."

The system has issued a prompt, and I still have to watch the fart.

"Er... Your lord is really a wonderful person."

Hearing Ling Xiao's words, Jia Xu had a strange expression on his face, and said with a dry smile.

Although I didn't plan to do anything on the map, but you and I just met for the first time, and you said that you believe in my character, isn't that a bit hasty?

The corners of Li Ru's mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't dwell too much on this issue.

"Now that my lord has got what I want, can you tell me what the Ling Emperor is looking for?"

It doesn't matter whether Ling Xiao looks at the map or not, the important thing is that you have to tell me what exactly is causing that level of fighting.

"The core of Luoyang City."

What Ling Xiao said was half true and half false. Emperor Han Ling was indeed looking for the core of Luoyang City, but what he really wanted was what was inside the core.

But strictly speaking, Ling Xiao is not lying.

"The core of Luoyang City?"

Li Ru could see that Ling Xiao wasn't trying to lie to him, as a top-notch wise man, he still had this ability.

But when he heard that Lingdi was looking for this thing, he really didn't understand it.

He turned his head to look at Jia Xu, who was also frowning in thought.

"Brother Wenhe, what can you see?"

Li Ru asked aloud.

"No."

Jia Xu shook his head.

"Can your lord tell me?"

Li Ru turned to Ling Xiao and asked again.

"Mr. Li forgot to exchange information?"

Naturally, Ling Xiao couldn't directly tell them about the Seed of the Abyss, he had to know the other party's position first.

Otherwise, if you tell the whole story directly, if the other party also has the idea of ​​the seed of the abyss, then you will not be a stick.

"Is there anything else you want to ask, Lord Protector?"

Li Ru was not surprised by Ling Xiao's words, which was also the reason why he didn't choose to ask Ling Xiao at first.

"I want to know when and how you will withdraw from Luoyang?"

"This……"

Li Ru hesitated.

The position of Emperor Han Ling was given, but now this issue involves the lifeline of one's own side. If you say it, it is tantamount to collaborating with the enemy.

"If Mr. Li doesn't want to say it, I won't force it. If you bother me, leave."

Why are you endless?

Seeing that Ling Xiao was about to get up and leave again, Li Ru was speechless.

Can the trick of retreating into advance be reused?

But there was no way, he had to find out what Han Lingdi wanted to do.

Only in this way can he make a targeted layout for the subsequent great changes in Luoyang.

"Hehe, there is nothing to hide about this. The Grand Master does intend to withdraw from Luoyang. As for the time to withdraw, it must be before the allied forces of the princes arrive in Luoyang, which is only a few days away."

Li Ru is an old fox, so naturally he couldn't tell the exact time, but just gave a vague answer.

"Mr. Li is playing tricks with me~"

Li Ru naturally didn't know what the routine meant, but he could hear what Ling Xiao said, so he just smiled and didn't explain anything.

"However, I can understand this, but Mr. Li missed a question? Compared with when you evacuated, I want to know how you evacuated."

Li Ru knew what Ling Xiao meant. After all, facing the pursuit of the allied forces of the princes, it was not easy for them to successfully withdraw to Chang'an.

The distance between Luoyang and Chang'an is 10,000+ miles. Even if it is full cavalry, it will take more than half a month. What's more, they still have more than half of the infantry. It will not take a month or two to arrive.

Such a long time is enough for the troops of the allied forces of the princes to catch up.

"Your Excellency, this is difficult for others. If you tell your lord such confidential matters, wouldn't you be digging your own grave?"

Uh... Seeing Li Ru was a little excited, Ling Xiao knew that the other party probably misunderstood.

He didn't want to know Dong Zhuo's retreat route and where he would ambush the allied forces of the princes. After all, he wanted to know it with his ass. In any case, it was impossible for Li Ru to tell such a thing.

"It's fine if Mr. Li doesn't say anything, but about the burning of Luoyang, won't you explain it?"

"Could it be that Mr. Li really wanted to do such appalling things just to stop the allied forces of the princes?"

Hearing Ling Xiao explain his plan clearly, Li Ru was lying if he said he wasn't shocked.

He didn't expect that the other party was so powerful. It seems that there are many other party's eyeliner hidden in Luoyang City.

Even in one's own camp, there are opponents' eyeliner.

It seems that a wave of cleaning is necessary.

Li Ru's eyes froze slightly, and he made this decision secretly.

In fact, he didn't know that Ling Xiao only knew Li Ru's plan based on history, and it had nothing to do with the eyeliner.

Chapter 505 Happy Cooperation

"The burning of Luoyang is just a way out for myself. As for whether this fire will burn in the end, it is still unknown."

Li Ru didn't pretend to be stupid on purpose, and directly admitted that he did have such thoughts.

The key point is that this cannot be denied. If the other party does not have the evidence, how can they guess that they will do this?

Blindly denying will only make you appear to have no structure, it is better to put it directly on the bright side.

In fact, this is also Li Ru's conspiracy. He intends to tell Ling Xiao, don't force the coalition forces of the princes too hard, otherwise you will be destroyed, and everyone should not think about it!

"Heh~ Can you find a way out? Do you know how many people will be buried in the sea of ​​fire by your way out?"

Ling Xiao jumped up directly, glaring at him.

"My lord, as I said before, whether this fire will start or not depends entirely on the coalition forces of the princes."

Li Ru didn't react to Ling Xiao's actions, but just took a sip from the teacup, looking extremely calm.

"You should understand that I cannot represent the coalition of princes."

"So what? War is not a child's play, isn't your lord a little too naive?"

Li Ru raised his eyes to look at Ling Xiao, with a half-smile on his face.

"Mr. Li should know that with the mighty power of Luoyang City, your fire can't be burned!"

Hearing Ling Xiao's words, Li Ru suddenly laughed.

"Is that so, I don't know, can the fire that is being set be burned in Luoyang City?"

Li Ru suddenly spread out his palm like a magic trick, and there was a pinch of black flames burning slowly in the palm.

This black fire seemed to come from the void, without any burning material, it just burned out of nothing.

The pitch-black flames were reflected in Ling Xiao's eyes, and he could feel that the flames in front of him were incomparably miraculous, as if they contained some kind of power of rules.

It is precisely because of this rule that nothing spontaneously combusts.

Sure enough...

Ling Xiao was not too surprised that Li Ru could condense this kind of heaven and earth fire.

Although he didn't use the mighty power of the system to investigate Li Ru's specific attributes, he more or less guessed that Li Ru possessed some kind of flame talent.

Otherwise, knowing that the city has a special defense mechanism, he still chooses to burn Luoyang, which proves that he has the confidence to let the fire burn.

"Mr. Li is a good guy~"

Ling Xiao also laughed.

But Ling Xiao's smile made the smile on Li Ru's face freeze, and he became a little suspicious.

You are very wrong.

Shouldn't you be surprised to see this situation normally? What's your expression?

"Your Excellency, do you think that this fire will not be able to fight against Luoyang City's self-defense?"

"No, although Luoyang City is strong, it can at most destroy all fires. It seems to have no effect on the heaven and earth fires in Mr. Li's hands."

"The reason why I am laughing is because I want to make a deal with you."

"What deal."

Li Ru shook his right hand to extinguish the flame, and looked at Ling Xiao with great interest.

"Exchange the lives of hundreds of millions of people in Luoyang with the layout of Emperor Ling."

Ling Xiao slowly explained the purpose of this visit.

"It seems that this is the real purpose of the Lord's visit tonight, and the Lord really loves the people like a son~"

"I can't talk about it. It's just that everyone gets what they need. For this deal, can Mr. Li agree?"

Li Ru and Jia Xu looked at each other, and then nodded in a subtle way, as if they had reached a consensus.

"Okay, I agree to the deal with the Duke, but there is only one condition."

"What conditions."

"I can only give up [-]% to the people in Luoyang, and I will move the rest to Chang'an, so that they won't be buried in flames."

"make a deal."
