Crossing the Passenger Sacrifice

Except for Lao Wu, no one present was surprised by Sang Fuqing's words.

The eldest brother said this because Sang Fuqing had already told him once when he came today, and the eldest sister-in-law had a filter for Li Huoyue. She felt that Huohuo was so outstanding that it was normal for him to be given an official title.

For a moment, except for Lao Wu who chattered and sighed, no one present reacted much.

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, gradually approaching a downpour. There was a brief calm in the room, with only the empty sound of the night rain hitting Kyoto.

The second brother is still in the carriage.

The carriage stopped beside Suyun Bridge. The dark river water flowed under the bridge. The heavy rain forced him to enter the carriage, and the small lamp hanging in front of the carriage was also pulled in, trembling and still maintaining a little light.

There were still three people in the carriage. Li Huoyue was not there, and he was replaced by a man with Mu Li.

"You were almost exposed today. If I hadn't stopped you, you would have confessed everything, right?" Jiang Yunshu questioned the second brother unhappily.

The person who led Mu Li also turned his head to the second brother, as if waiting for an explanation.

The second brother was still immersed in the atmosphere created by Li Huoyue just now. He didn't want to pay attention to Jiang Yunshu's words at all. He murmured: "She actually got off the carriage without saying goodbye to me. It seems that she is really angry..."

The person who brought Mu Li didn't care whether there was a conflict between Lao Er and Li Huoyue. His purpose was only to ensure that the plan assigned by the higher-ups could proceed smoothly.

"Did you tell her what I asked you to hint at?" asked the person who led Mu Li.

The second brother chuckled, which was drowned out by the sound of heavy rain.

His eyebrows were curved, and he looked easy to talk to. He spoke slowly but steadily and forcefully: "It's time to settle the remaining reward. There's no reason to get an answer from me for no reason."

The person who led Mu Li snorted in dissatisfaction, thinking that the two siblings were really annoying. They didn't even join the alliance, but they had to invest resources in them every day.

"As expected of a businessman, he is really good at calculating." The man who led Mu Li snorted coldly.

The second brother didn't mind at all, and even nodded proudly, saying, "Yes, after all, the Li family has a large family waiting for me to support them. If I don't plan for a good life, how can the Li family survive?"

Ever since Dai Muli's people actually came into contact with Li Huoyue, their prejudice against the people in the Li Mansion has deepened.

I really don't want to get involved with the second child too much, so I took out an envelope from my pocket and handed it to the second child, "This is for the next few days."

The second child took the envelope, but did not put it directly into his arms. Instead, he opened it and took a look at it. After making sure that most of the contents were what he wanted, he slowly put it away.

Dai Muli's people secretly thanked themselves for listening to their leader and not just taking something to fool people.

"I have already hinted to Huo Huo as you requested." The second brother listened to the rain outside leisurely, "But I don't think it will have any effect. You may be counting on the wrong person."

"It seems that you still don't know your sister very well." Although the person who led Mu Li hated Li Huoyue, he had to admit that he was indeed very outstanding. "Don't even mention that Concubine Li might be involved. Even if you were alone, in front of your sister, even if you only said one word, she would be able to make a scene backwards, not to mention what happened today."

“But you have too many flaws.” The second brother pulled out a small stove from the drawer below, intending to make himself a cup of hot tea, but found that the drawer was empty and the original tea set was gone.

"It doesn't matter." Dai Muli's people shrugged. "The leader said that as long as she has a little doubt, Li Huoyue will figure out the truth herself."

Jiang Yunshu, who had been listening for a while, was a little puzzled and asked, "Why don't you choose to tell her directly?"

The other two did not answer. The second brother glanced at Jiang Yunshu with a smile, closed the drawer, and commented to Dai Muli's people: "It seems that your organization is indeed short of manpower."

Dai Muli's people knew that the second brother was teasing them, but they could only grit their teeth and could not say a word in rebuttal.

He turned to Jiang Yunshu and shouted coldly: "What do you know? The higher-ups have their own considerations. It's not your turn to give advice! Go and have fun!"

Jiang Yunshu has always known that there must be some concerns that led to him going through so much trouble to invite Li Huoyue.

He originally thought that he was afraid that if he told Li Huoyue directly, Li Huoyue would not believe it, or that some secrets were not easy to reveal directly.

However, when he casually glanced at the letter to the second brother just now, these two reasons seemed a little untenable.

"What else can you consider?" Jiang Yunshu spoke directly, not caring whether the person in front of him was his "boss" or not. "You are wasting time like this. There is not much time left, and you still have to delay. Tell her directly, it will be much better than her making random guesses. She has a lot of thoughts to begin with. If she guesses wrong, who knows what she will do in the end! Those protagonists in TV dramas are like this, they think they are doing good for each other, but in the end they rush to their deaths one by one!"

What Jiang Yunshu said is also true.

However, the other two people in the car seemed unmoved. They both lowered their heads, not knowing what they were thinking.

I wanted to do things secretly, but ended up showing my skills under other people's noses.

He wanted to loosen up his identity as a time traveler and didn't want this identity to become a time bomb that bound him to death. However, not only did he not make any progress, but he also pushed himself into a situation from which he could not escape.

All these things, a series of actions and choices in the past few days, made Li Huoyue sigh.

But what could she do? She couldn't stop and had nowhere to hide.

If you don't move forward, you will die.

"Why are you sighing?" Jiang Yunshu handed over a string of candied haws, "Eat something sweet, and you'll be much happier."

Li Huoyue didn't answer. Jiang Yunshu didn't know why she sighed, and she didn't understand why Jiang Yunshu was so happy all day.

"Why are you here again? Where do you want to take me today?"

"Based on your own conditions, you should know best whether what I said makes sense or not."

The imperial concubine continued to speak, and Li Huoyue glared at her with annoyance, but she didn't care.

"Including your brothers, all of them."

"Your eldest brother is in the court, your second brother is in business, your third brother..." The imperial concubine paused here and went on to talk about the next person, "Your fourth brother specializes in intelligence gathering, and your fifth brother happens to have a great talent and interest in medicine."

The imperial concubine helped Li Huoyue count the items one by one.

"Just eat your food, why bother?"

Li Huoyue originally wanted to give the imperial concubine an impatient look, so that she would give up and stop asking questions.

Sang Fuqing still did not say clearly what the relationship was between the prime minister's eldest son being the deputy envoy and the breaking of the engagement.

Li Huoyue looked at Sang Fuqing and guessed it.
