Crossing the Passenger Sacrifice

"You go first. I won't kill you today." Li Huoyue weighed the matter and decided to check where the people who came today finally went.

Compared with those people who could "fly over eaves and walk on walls", Sang Fuqing was much easier to catch.

Moreover, if this group of people really were heading towards Li Wang’s Palace, it would also indirectly confirm how credible Sang Fuqing’s words were.

"You go first, I won't kill you today." Li Huoyue weighed it and decided to check where the people who came today finally went.

Compared with those people who could "fly over eaves and walk on walls", Sang Fuqing was much easier to catch.

Moreover, if this group of people really went to Li Wangfu, it could also indirectly prove how credible Sang Fuqing's words were. "...No one sent me here, uh--" Sang Fuqing answered Li Huoyue.

Li Huoyue increased his strength.

Sang Fuqing felt like several of his bones had been broken, but he had no time to care. He endured the pain and spoke with difficulty: "... I... I dare not lie to you, ah ah ah, they are ah ah ah... step by step, uh ah ah ah - step by step - pushing you into the pit..."

"They?" Li Huoyue didn't use many words, just repeated these two words with a questioning tone.

Sang Fuqing tried to move, but sure enough, he didn't budge at all under Li Huoyue's grip.

"...Can you please let me go first? I can't run away anyway..."

The fifth brother also came over at the right time and hesitantly advised: "Sixth sister, how about... don't..."

He didn't dare to say anything about Li Huoyue, even though he was considered Li Huoyue's brother, so he could only call her sister in a flattering way, and then changed the angle and said: "...this Mr. Sang's health is not that good..."

Li Huoyue's cold eyes, which were originally staring at Sang Fuqing, moved to Lao Wu's face. Lao Wu quickly shut up and said no more.

With a cold snort, Li Huoyue still chose to lift his foot. Sang Fuqing had no strength now, and he struggled to get up immediately, fearing that he would miss this opportunity.

Li Huoyue spoke again to Sang Fuqing who was tidying up his appearance: "It seems that you know a lot about me. How about making a deal?"

Sang Fuqing smiled bitterly. He had no right to refuse. He nodded and said, "Of course, Sang will tell you everything he knows, but..."

Li Huoyue frowned slightly.

Sang Fuqing continued, "Why don't you go outside and take a look first?"

"What do you mean?" Li Huoyue frowned even deeper.

Playing tricks?

Although she didn't believe that Sang Fuqing could notice the changes in the situation outside before her, she still paid more attention to the situation outside.

She didn't hear anything wrong. It just seemed that the other party acted faster than she expected, and the evacuation time was shorter than she estimated.

"I don't mean anything else, it's just that you may currently... underestimate the strength of others." Sang Fuqing sighed.

Just as he finished speaking, there were hurried footsteps coming towards the courtyard from outside, and the guards in the dark outside the courtyard still did not make any attempt to stop them.

The sound of the rain was so loud that Li Huoyue couldn't tell who it was for a moment.

There were only a few people that the guards wouldn't stop.

The eldest brother, the eldest sister-in-law and the fifth brother are all here. The fourth brother has been sent out. The second brother won't be in such a hurry. The third brother is still outside the door.

Who else could it be?

Just as Li Huoyue was puzzled, someone who came hurriedly spoke at the right time:

“Got it!!!!”

The fourth brother came in the rain, with the same face as the third brother, and appeared at the door in an equally embarrassed manner.

The appearance of the fourth brother made the eldest brother and his wife feel relieved. On the contrary, Li Huoyue, who had been calm just now, asked in surprise: "Why are you still here?!"

"I was abandoned halfway!" The fourth brother said quickly. He could not show any expression on his face, so he stomped his feet to express his anger.

Li Huoyue didn't figure out which step had gone wrong, and took two steps forward in disbelief, asking, "How could this happen? What did you do?"

"I didn't do anything. After I received the hint, I did what I did before. I pretended to resist and then was captured. There was nothing innovative. They had already taken me away, but suddenly they received some order and immediately abandoned me!"

The fourth brother also felt strange. He didn’t think he had done anything wrong.

"You mean... Li Huoyue attacked the cripple? And then she took the initiative to talk about her childhood with her second brother?"

In the attic, a questioning voice came from a high position.

The person who was crawling on the ground and reporting heard the question and answered sincerely: "Yes, the conversation between the two ended only when they were interrupted by the person from Jiang Mansion."

"Doesn't your Coach Zuo find it strange? Li Huoyue seems like someone who can express his true feelings?"

The people below didn't dare to answer and buried their heads even lower.

The reporter continued to explain, "Coach Zuo said that Li Huoyue and Li Youyou have the best relationship, so it is most appropriate to arrest Li Youyou."

"Don't you know what Li Youyou does?" The man on the stage waved his hand. "If he finds out anything... forget it. Go and ask Coach Zuo to find someone else to kidnap him. The risk of being exposed if we kidnap Li Youyou is too great."

"Yes."

"Have our men caught up with them?"

Li Huoyue didn’t care whether the fourth child was successfully “sent out” or not, she knew there would be a backup plan.

The spies arranged by the fourth brother can be found almost everywhere in the southern country, except for the imperial palace and the dense forest.

It was precisely because of this that Li Huoyue deliberately brought up this childhood incident when she was talking to the fourth brother. She knew that her own spies would definitely pass this incident on to the fourth brother.

This is a secret code among several people, which is used to convey who should do what according to the person who speaks the story last.

Li Huoyue originally thought that the second child should go, but the second child thought that the fourth child should go.

Although some of Li Huoyue's "private goods" were mixed in this time, the overall situation remained unchanged, and the fourth brother received the news as usual.

However, things have been out of control lately.

“…No, I…lost him.” The fourth brother lacked confidence, and his voice and number of words dropped significantly.

Li Huoyue gritted his teeth and said, "So he's going to the palace?"

The fourth one shook his head.

"Dense forest."

The fourth one shook his head again.

"Then why did you lose track?!!!" Li Huoyue could no longer understand the current situation. Why do unexpected things always happen? "Have you been negligent in management recently? Such low-level mistakes can happen!"

"They have tools! No matter how I manage them, I can't defeat them!!"

Just as the fourth brother finished complaining, there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside the yard.

But this time he was stopped outside the hospital.

The rain covered up most of the sounds. Amid the chaotic soundscape, Li Huoyue heard someone shouting outside the courtyard: "Miss Li!"

The fourth brother also heard it, and looked up and asked Li Huoyue: "Should we let it in?"

It was already chaotic enough anyway. Li Huoyue took a deep breath and nodded.

With Li Huoyue's promise, those who were shouting outside the courtyard were allowed to enter.

The newcomer was just like the third brother, in a panic, running while shouting, "Miss Li! Miss Li!!!"

When the visitor ran to the door, he found that there were so many people here that he had no place to stand.

"What's the matter?" Li Huoyue took a few steps towards the door and drove away the fifth and third brothers.

The fifth brother still had something to say to Li Huoyue, but Li Huoyue seemed to want him to take good care of the third brother. The third brother shuddered as he hesitated.

He tilted his head and thought about it, and decided to take the wet third brother away first.
