Chapter 957: The Shadows

"Why aren't you afraid?"

On the way back, Liu Heng, who had been holding back for a long time, finally couldn't help it, and asked in a quiet voice.

Liu Heng raised his eyebrows, "Why should I be afraid?"

This answer was too natural, but it didn't give the answer Liu Heng wanted at all, so Liu Heng only thought that the other party didn't want to answer him, but the next moment, he heard the other party speak again, "Don't forget, I'm not anyone's heir at the moment, but Jin Lai, the 'First Fengguo General' canonized by the imperial court." ”

These calm words made Liu Heng's eyes widen, and he finally grasped the center of the confrontation between the two sides.

It turned out that what Liu Heng relied on was not the identity of the Liu family he thought he was at all, but the identity on the surface that he had never paid attention to.

Yes, who would dare to let a court official die in his own house in full view of everyone?

"Aren't you afraid that the Liu family will replace Li Zhuang?" Liu Heng snorted coldly.

That is, to keep it secret, kill Liu Heng first, and then change to a stand-in, then you can also get the result that the Liu family wants without much effort. This is obviously an excellent strategy, so Liu Heng is more and more puzzled, why the Liu family has not chosen to use it until now?

"Then it depends on whether the Liu family can block the news. Liu Heng responded with a light smile.

Liu Heng was silent, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes.

It is true that the Liu family's hidden ability is very strong, and it has not been found for decades, but it is more of the Liu family's ability to fight for power, and it refers more to the fact that the Liu family has not let the opponent find the handle of the traitor for decades, rather than how well they really hid it. To say that no one knows where to hide in a mansion of Nuoda, the Liu family themselves will think it is a joke.

Not only do many people know where the Liu family is hiding, but they don't know how many spies sent from all over the house are hidden...... Just like what the Liu family did to the forces of all parties.

And Liu Heng's entry into the house, this is a very critical matter in the eyes of all parties, presumably countless people are staring at this place, once the Liu family dares to start, they will have to bear the risk of leaking the news. At the moment when the dispute between the princes was about to begin, leaking the news meant giving all parties the best handle to attack the Liu family, which was a result that the Liu family never wanted to see.

To put it more simply, it is not worth taking risks for the sake of a Decameron City and Ten Thousand Feather Guards.

"Did you think about these things before you came?" Liu Heng muttered in his heart, and finally had to admit that Liu Heng did see farther than him, but ......

"It's hard to do it at home, but what about on the road?"

He couldn't have imagined at all that the conditions offered by the Liu family were already very generous in his opinion, why did Liu Heng refuse? How could he dare to refuse? Didn't he think that after turning his face, even if he could get out of the Liu family alive, how could he return to the Ten Days City alive?

"The conditions given by the Liu family are not not rich, but they are too rich, so rich that I think it is too abnormal, so naturally I can't agree. ”

What Liu Heng wants most is the promise given by the Liu family, as long as there is no real power in the name, there is also the right to expand the army. And the situation he was in Liu family couldn't be unclear, but he directly gave the conditions he wanted the most, to say that this was purely because of the friendship of the same clan, Liu Heng himself didn't dare to hope so extravagantly. In this way, it can only be shown that there must be a conspiracy behind the conditions, and it is a conspiracy that Liu Heng has not yet discovered, so Liu Heng does not want to refuse directly.

"As for the road, you can't hide from what you should come, this is the best opportunity for the Liu family to start. Whether I agree or not, if I am the Liu family, instead of letting an unconvinced outsider hold the power, where is it more reassuring than being in the hands of his cronies?" Liu Heng smiled lightly, as if the person in danger was not himself.

Liu Heng's eyes widened, "Since you know everything, why do you want to come?"

Everything was said clearly, but in the face of such a question that seemed to be answered very well, Liu Heng was rarely silent.

Why come?

may be because he always has to go on such a trip, so that all parties can be sure that he and the Liu family really broke down, so that all parties dare to reach out and throw an olive branch. It may be that there is always a thought for him to come to the Liu family to see for himself, or it may just be that he still has an expectation of the Liu family that he should not have.

What the specific reason is, even Liu Heng himself can't tell, maybe there is a little bit.

"It's good to take such a trip, at least you can see it more clearly, and you can completely cut everything off in the future. After being silent for a long time, Liu Heng muttered, not knowing whether to tell Liu Heng or to himself, "This risk is worth the risk." ”

"Are you so confident that you can go back?" Liu Heng asked angrily, he was not worried about Liu Heng, but worried about himself. Now he is forced to be tied up with Liu Heng, Liu Heng is dead, and he is destined to be buried with him, so he doesn't care how Liu Heng wants to die, but how can he tolerate this guy to send him to death?

Damn it!

"Sooner or later, that's going to happen. Liu Heng was still indifferent, "Anyway, it's all up to your ability to speak." ”

Liu Heng snorted heavily when he heard this, and sneered: "Sure enough, there are too many rivers and lakes, and it's all about the spirit of the horseman!"

For his ridicule, Liu Heng just didn't hear it, he still walked confidently, and looked at the beautiful scenery around him, ignoring Liu Heng completely.

Originally, listening to the woman's meaning, he had prepared his own room in the backyard of his own house, but after the conversation collapsed, Liu Heng naturally had no happiness to enjoy that room. Liu Heng was very conscious of this, the Liu family didn't mention it again, he didn't ask either, and went back to the guest room where he entered the Liu family to stay.

The night was calm, and until the early morning, Liu Heng cleaned up a little in the morning, and walked towards the outside of the house with a gloomy face Liu Heng.

Two days have already been set, and everything that should be said has been said, of course Liu Heng will not stay here longer. In fact, if he hadn't said that it would have been two days earlier, he would have set off after the collapse of the talks last night, and the reason why he stayed for one more night was nothing else, just to keep his promise.

Some people waited early, and they didn't say anything, just quietly led the two of them towards the gate.

Halfway through, I only saw a lot of shadows of the Liu family in the corners, behind doors and windows, and they didn't show up, pointing at Liu Heng and whispering. Even if Liu Heng couldn't hear it, from the posture and looks of these people, he could probably guess what they would say, it was nothing more than not knowing what to do and killing himself.

Only Liu Yi hurried over, as if he didn't know that Liu Heng and the Liu family had collapsed, "Brother Heng'er is really leaving?"

Liu Heng smiled, "I said earlier that there is only a two-day period." ”

Liu Yi looked regretful when he heard this, "Brother Heng is really a military general, and he will say whenever he wants, but he has not changed at all." Originally, I thought that Brother Heng'er would rarely come back, if only I could stay for two more days, there are still many scenery that Brother Heng'er has not seen!"

"What is decided, how can it be changed?" Liu Yi's polite words seemed to have something to say, so Liu Heng also replied as if he meant something.

So after two sentences, there was a rare silence between the two.

"Actually, there is really no need to be in such a hurry, Brother Yong'er sent off his friends and is rushing back, Brother Heng'er will definitely be able to meet Brother Yong'er if he doesn't wait for half a day. After walking a long way, Liu Yi couldn't help but persuade sincerely.

Liu Heng was stunned, "Is this the meaning of the Liu family, or the meaning of the Qilinzi of the Liu family?"

Liu Yi frowned when he heard this, and he could hear the deliberate distancing in Liu Heng's words, "After all, they are brothers, how can Brother Heng call him that?"

Liu Heng shook his head, "I'm sorry, I don't have the habit of waiting for someone." ”

"But. Liu Yi's eyes flashed slightly, "If we don't meet here, the next time we meet, we will definitely not be here." ”

Liu Heng raised his eyebrows, "Then I'll be in Ten Days City, greeting you." But if I had been kind enough to advise me, if I had seen those people with me yesterday, I would not have been able to set foot in the gates of my Decameron. ”

No matter how good Liu Yicheng's mansion is, it is inevitable to get angry when he hears this kind of words, "But Brother Heng at that time, can he really be in Ten Days City?"

Liu Heng said indifferently: "Then let's wait and see." ”

The more the two of them talked, the sharper they became, and finally Liu Yi took a deep breath and took the lead in pressing down his anger, "Forget it, it's better to give Brother Heng a ride, it's not interesting to say this." ”

Speaking of which, in fact, the two of them had already walked to the gate, Liu Yi stood still under the door, bowed, "I wish Brother Heng a good journey, I will not send it far." ”

Liu Heng suddenly said: "Actually, you can send it." ”

At the moment when Liu Yi stared in shock, Liu Heng laughed, hugged his fists in return, turned around and stepped into the carriage, "The road ahead is long, Third Brother B doesn't have to be sent far, if you come to Japan, and come to Ten Days City, let me also do my best as a landlord!"

After that, the carriage rolled away under Liu Yi's eyes.

"Third son B, how is it?" a stocky figure quietly appeared beside Liu Yi, "Do you feel very arrogant and conceited?"

This person stood side by side with Liu Yi, and it was Yu Wuregret who escorted Liu Heng here, and like Liu Yi, he watched the carriage disappear at the exit of the valley, his eyes flashing.

"It's self-confidence. Liu Yi didn't seem surprised at all by Yu Wuregret's appearance, and thought for a while, "Replace people immediately, don't send people under the triple martial arts...... No, please let Mr. Yi Bai go for himself!"

Yu Wuregret was stunned when he heard this, "His combat power is at most a triple martial artist, so he needs to ask Mr. Yi Bai to come out in person?"

"I can't tell why, but after personal contact, I feel more and more that this son is not simple, and I was too confident when I left. Liu Yi shook his head, "In short, the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, after all, it involves the major affairs of Brother Yong'er, and it is still foolproof." ”

Yu Wuregret originally thought that he was making too much of a fuss, but after thinking about it, he nodded to himself and said: "Indeed, daring to take risks alone is worth cherishing, so I will go and invite Mr. Yi Bai." ”

Liu Yi nodded, and asked instead, "How is Brother Yong'er?"

At the mention of this, Yu Wuregret showed a smile on his face, "Thanks to the name of Gongzi's feudal marquis, there are already more than a dozen secret realm geniuses who have their hearts set on Gongzi, and there are even two major military towns that have been attached, and there are many Jing Servants." ”

This made Liu Yi's expression relax a lot, and he sighed: "Brother Yong'er, the name of the marquis, is really a big advantage that the prince can't compare, and with such a start, it is not inferior to the princes too much." ”

said so, but both of them knew that there was still a huge gap between Liu Yong and the princes. After all, he is an orthodox prince, no matter from what point of view, his reputation alone is enough to make countless heroes excited, not to mention that the prince's success in ascending to the throne has always been the greatest. No matter how hard the rest of the parties try, it is difficult to erase the huge difference brought by the name, Liu Yong's start is already extremely amazing, and most of the competitors nominated by the rest of the parties are far inferior to Liu Yong.

However, at the end of the day, this is not a game, and there can be one, two, three, four, and only one person is the winner, and the rest are lost. Therefore, Liu Yong's situation of being less than the top is more than the bottom, in fact, it is not optimistic, the advantages of the princes are too great, and the pressure on them is naturally not small.

"My Liu family has failed too many times, and this time we are united, and we will never allow it to fail again! As a son of the Liu family, how can I not understand such a simple truth as both glory and humiliation, and at this time, I am still angry with my family, isn't it the way to die?" Liu Yi's eyes were complicated, and gradually turned cold, "The military town of Ten Days City, the strength is among the top among all military towns, and there is such a relationship, so it must be mastered! If you can't even take the Ten Days City, how will all parties view my Liu family and how will Yong Ge'er?" There is no room for error in this matter!"

Yu understood. Yu Wu regretted holding his fists and receiving his life, "But I'm afraid that my son and my family will ......"

He meant something, and gestured to the depths of the mansion with his eyes, and it was difficult to hide his worry.

"That's what home means. Liu Yi responded in a deep voice, making Yu Wuregret immediately let go of half of his heart, but he heard Liu Yi hesitate for a moment, "Brother Yong'er, has he never expressed his intentions?"

"Yes!"

Yu Wuregret smiled bitterly: "The third son of Yi also knows that this son can be regarded as the only brother of the son, and with the kindness of the son, I am afraid it will be difficult to be ruthless." Many people knocked on the side of this matter, but they couldn't get Gongzi to give a clear reply, and the subordinates couldn't figure it out, so they asked Gongzi Yi to make a decision on his behalf. ”

Is the house kind?

When Liu Yi heard this, his expression was incomprehensible, and then he said unhappily: "Brother Yong'er is kind-hearted, but it is in the way of this relationship, he is a person who does great things, how can he put such a stigma on it for no reason? Originally, if this son knew what was good, it would be a good thing for you and me, and everyone was good, who knew that this son was pampered and arrogant, and he didn't know the righteousness at all, it was his fault." ”

Yu Wu regretted it again and again, and then said tentatively: "Then this matter ......"

Liu Yi's eyes suddenly sharpened, staring at Yu Wuregret, Yu Wuregret lowered his head and hugged his fists, but there was no sound. The eerie silence didn't last long, Liu Yi turned around and walked into the mansion, "Let's just say it's my idea." ”

I can't tell why, but there was a hint of depression in his tone.

Yu Wuregret solemnly replied, and hurriedly ran to arrange the matter.

"What a traitor. ”

Liu Yi, who entered the house, felt extremely bad when he thought of Yu Wuregret's appearance just now. It doesn't matter who you want to kill, what matters is the identity of this person, who is too sensitive, as the only brother of Liu Yong who wants to compete for the throne, he finally died in the hands of the Liu family. If this matter is exposed in the future, the person who finally ordered it will inevitably be a big deal, and it is even likely to be used as a scapegoat, so Liu Yi knows very well how much burden he took on just now, and he knows how treacherous and disgusting this Yu Wuregret is.

"Forget it, there is always someone who has to walk in the shadows and take over these things that can't be touched by Brother Yong'er...... I just hope that Brother Yong'er will have a prosperous life, and that is enough. ”
