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.

"Where are you going? I'll go with you!" Sang Fuqing replied.

Again.

Such a weird reaction.

Although the two had only met a few times, Sang Fuqing acted more familiar than expected.

Threats were useless, and he refused to reveal who was behind it.

Maybe there really is no one behind the scenes?

Li Huoyue immediately extracted the key points from his mind. Where did the first moment of Sang Fuqing's attitude change occur?

As Li Huoyue inhaled, his past memories were quickly browsed from the back to the front. Soon, the key frame was extracted when he exhaled.

It was the day when I went to Sang’s house to visit my eldest sister-in-law, and the two of them met!

Still thinking about chasing his second brother, Li Huoyue was a little emotionally unstable. Fortunately, he had practiced well in the past few days. Almost the next moment he closed his eyes and exhaled, Li Huoyue got information from his memory again.

It was the moment after the eye contact!

Before this, Sang Fuqing was still speaking arrogant words, but after this, he stood there in a daze for a while like a background board, and then his attitude changed.

He also asked her a question.

What did he ask?

[You have...]

【Have we met somewhere before?】

"She seems unconvinced, and looks like she wants to stop you from being given an official title before her..." As Li Huoyue retreated, Sang Fuqing breathed a sigh of relief and spoke slowly.

"So, you control her because you want me to be promoted to an official position smoothly?" Li Huoyue asked again.

Sang Fuqing nodded, trying to look well-behaved and obedient, and not threatening.

Li Huoyue smiled and said, "Don't you think this is contradictory?"

After saying that, Li Huoyue had already started thinking about how to deal with Sang Fuqing later, and the leaves in his hand were squeezed a little harder.

The clan leader knew that he would be given an official title, so he asked Sang Fuqing's mother not to cancel the engagement. However, he controlled Xu Jiao'er so that he could be given an official title smoothly. The "cooperation" he mentioned at the beginning was just bullshit.

You came here late at night just to talk nonsense?

Li Huoyue didn't believe it.

Sang Fuqing's attention was completely on Li Huoyue's hand. Seeing the leaves in Li Huoyue's hand slowly being clenched, Sang Fuqing's heart also tightened.

He was totally unaware of what was wrong with his words. He laughed dryly and replied, "Haha... no way..."

After hearing the answer, Li Huoyue loosened his grip, letting the leaf slip from his hand, and turned around to return to his seat.

But, people cannot be killed now.

Kill him the day after tomorrow.

Li Huoyue thought to himself.

Before the leaf fell to the ground, Sang Fuqing's face changed and he jumped up. With everyone's eyes still on him, he did something that no one would have thought of -

I knelt down instinctively.

Hearing a "bang" sound behind him, Li Huoyue turned around in surprise.

He is worthy of being the former top scholar in the imperial examination. Even though he has lost the youthful vigor and vitality he had in the past, his straight back and the handsome face of a scholar make him look dignified even when he is kneeling.

Sang Fuqing raised his head, ignoring the gazes of others, and asked almost pleadingly: "Can you... not kill me first?"

The study was not quiet. There was the noise of the heavy rain pouring down outside, the unusual movement of the uninvited guest climbing over the roof in the rain, and the low shouts and pursuit of the secret guards hidden in the Li Mansion after being lured out. Each sound was unique in its own way.

Li Huoyue listened to the noise outside becoming increasingly louder, as if more than one wave of people were coming.

She looked at the person kneeling in front of her again. His words were louder than the noise outside, making her thoughts even more confused.

"Lord Sang!" The eldest brother was shocked and quickly stepped forward to help him. He also reminded Sang Fuqing in his address that how could an official of the imperial court kneel down and kowtow to others so easily? If the emperor knew about this, what would happen? !

"What are you doing! Get up quickly!!!"

Sang Fuqing resolutely stretched out his hand and refused the boss's help. With tears in his eyes, he kept looking up at Li Huoyue, as if Li Huoyue had done a huge wrong to him.

"Let him kneel if he wants to!" The eldest sister-in-law was shocked, but she also felt refreshed. She even felt that this kneeling was very reasonable and that everyone in the Sang family should kneel.

Li Huoyue took a deep breath.

"She seems unconvinced, and looks like she wants to stop you from being given an official title before her..." As Li Huoyue retreated, Sang Fuqing breathed a sigh of relief and spoke slowly.

"So, you control her because you want me to be promoted to an official position smoothly?" Li Huoyue asked again.
