Crossing the Passenger Sacrifice

"You...why don't you go first?" It wasn't raining outside, but Coach Zuo could hear the commotion. "He likes to go crazy sometimes."

He was not sure what Li Huoyue was waiting for here, nor was he sure whether Li Huoyue could handle the Li family. He only knew that his fellow brother would probably rush over and beat someone up soon.

"The surname is Li!"

"Li Huoyue!!"

"Li Huoyue!!!"

Just as Coach Zuo worried, the King of Liang, who had just left, rushed back in a hurry, striding towards this side while shouting Li Huoyue's name.

The anger in his voice was evident.

Li Huoyue scoffed. "With that kind of upbringing, you're still a prince? Do you only teach the etiquette and rules of your royal family to princesses?"

Coach Zuo held his forehead with his hand. His headache was so severe that it felt like it was going to explode tonight.

He sighed countless times, and finally walked to the door resignedly, opened it, and walked out before King Liang could "kill" him.

"Why are you closing the door?!!!" King Liang noticed Coach Zuo coming out from a distance.

Coach Zuo turned calmly, certain that the other party wouldn't dare attack him, and said slowly, "My door is closed whenever you want."

"Get out of the way! Is Li Huoyue in there?! Huh? I'm asking you, is it her?!"

This is a difficult question to answer. It’s hard to say whether it is yes or no.

If he said so, King Liang would definitely rush in on impulse.

If he said no, he wouldn't be a particularly good liar, and this brother who grew up with him would definitely see through it.

However, having lived through this life so many times, he had seen a lot of things. He calmly changed the subject and asked:

"Why did you call her here for no reason?"

There is only one word difference between "找" and "找出来", but the meanings they express are completely different.

Prince Liang was originally still angry, but after hearing Coach Zuo's questions, he was immediately misled and his anger was half dispelled.

"...Why would I bother looking for her for no reason? It's bad luck!" Prince Liang retorted unhappily to Coach Zuo's choice of words and sentences.

Coach Zuo nodded. "Yeah, if you have nothing to do with her, why are you yelling at me?"

As he spoke, he recalled Li Huoyue's words, so he added to the King of Liang: "What a disgrace!"

Prince Liang was once again furious, turning his back. "This prince...this prince simply heard from the messenger that the branches of the sacred tree in the palace were destroyed. I figured, in the middle of the night, only Li Huoyue would come to our palace to take action..."

Coach Zuo raised his eyes slightly and looked in the direction the King of Liang had come from.

In the dim night, two people wearing unique messenger robes and holding wooden sticks were moving towards this side at a moderate pace.

The reason why Prince Liang could stand here and talk with Coach Zuo for so long was all thanks to his brute force as he rushed over without hesitation.

Coach Zuo moved slightly closer to King Liang and asked in a low voice, "Now that someone's here, has the guy in the kitchen been dealt with?"

Prince Liang was busy looking for the Crown Prince, and never expected that someone would smash the branches of the sacred tree today and attract people from the Li family. He froze for a moment.

"This... I had no idea someone had smashed the one on the shrine. My son hasn't found it yet, so I didn't think too much about it." Prince Liang argued cunningly. Fearing that Coach Zuo would blame him again, he quickly made up a few words, "Don't worry, it's been so chaotic lately, no one will pay attention to the kitchen. But the one in the Twin Courtyard... have you thought of a solution?"

This reply was considered as a counterattack from the King of Liang. The two were equally matched, so Coach Zuo did not pursue the matter any further. He also did not have time to deal with the child from the Twin Courtyard.

There was no time for King Liang to continue asking questions, as the two messengers who followed King Liang had already arrived beside the two of them.

After exchanging greetings, one of the messengers raised his hand and signaled to the left guide to open the door.

Coach Zuo nodded, took two steps forward, and gently pushed the door open.

He didn't have any major concerns. Although the messenger could impose restrictions on the use of props, Li Huoyue dared to stay for so long, he must have his own abilities. He was able to rely on his own skills to hear the noise from such a distance just now, so he should have been able to slip away easily now.

The door slowly opened, and the first thing that jumped in from the left was a cluster of leaping flames, followed by a girl holding the cluster of flames, who was lighting the portraits one by one!

Guide Zuo's mind went blank.

Why is she still here? ! ! !

"Bang -" a sound.

In a flash, the door was closed again, as if nothing had happened.

"Ah! Fuck! You scared me!" King Liang was standing behind, startled by Coach Zuo's sudden action. "What are you doing?"

Coach Zuo didn't know why his body's first reaction was to help cover it up. However, now that he came to his senses, the thing had already happened. Such behavior would definitely cause the envoy to question him, so he had to find a way to get rid of the envoy's suspicion first.

So he took the initiative, turned around and said in a slightly panicked tone: "The fire is happening! Quick! Call someone! Call someone!"
