Chapter 55: To Kill or Not to Kill?
The rain was pouring down, and the wind and rain suddenly blew outside the window, and the momentum was rapid and violent. All that was left to my ears was the sound of pouring rain and the reverberation of brushing.
Lin Suqing didn't hear King Ying's words clearly, so he asked, "What did you just say?"
King Yingsu had a cold face, raised his hand to pull off the fork pole supporting the window, and the window was blown shut by the wind with a bang, isolating all the sound of wind and rain, and in the entire pavilion, only the sound of rain outside the window could be vaguely heard.
King Ying's eyes were as bright as a torch, like a tiger and leopard, staring at Lin Suqing as a prey.
Lin Suqing suddenly felt bad in his heart, he hurriedly looked around, no figure appeared, and there were still only two of them on the entire third floor.
"Your Excellency need not be nervous. This king has said that there will be no third person here, if there are only you and me. As soon as King Ying's voice fell, Xiao Er came up.
"Guest officer, the wind and rain are raging, can you ...... the window?"
Before Xiao Er finished speaking, his eyebrows were pierced by a chopstick on the spot.
"I don't know the times. King Ying said coldly.
Seeing this, Lin Suqing's whole person froze, and he couldn't help but swallow his throat. He withdrew his gaze from Xiao Er, looked at King Ying, and then at the tube of chopsticks on the table, and couldn't count how many there were at a glance.
He was a little worried in his heart, even if it was one-on-one, he was not the opponent of King Ying......
"Ade. Lin Suqing plucked up his courage and looked at King Ying, "Brother Wei knew about the festival with you, but he still came alone, so he never cared about life and death. ”
He looked directly at King Ying, and said frankly: "Whether you believe it or not, a brother is a brother." It's just that what is different from usual is that maybe it was the providence arrangement that made Brother Wei lose his memory and forget all about your previous entanglements. ”
King Ying's face suddenly moved, as if he was thinking about something.
Lin Suqing continued: "Whether you believe it or not, no matter what kind of frustration has existed between us, whether it is a misunderstanding or a grudge, Brother Wei has now thought it very clearly, those are in the past, and they are over. That's why I came frankly for my brother. ”
The rain was pouring and the thunder was faintly dull.
"It's over?" King Ying asked rhetorically, and then said, "I just said that the life-saving grace from the last time has been repaid." Mean, last time, I could have killed you on the spot, and no one knows. But I didn't, so I paid you back. ”
Lin Suqing's heart froze, and he saw King Ying's eyes fiercely and said, "You just said that everything is over, but I can't understand what it means to be over." You are the crown prince, I am the king of Ying, even if you and I think we can pass, but in fact, we will never be able to pass. ”
From these few words, I heard a little helplessness of King Ying.
But is this helplessness real or fake? Lin Suqing didn't dare to believe it at the moment.
It was probably because he wanted to win the trust of King Ying, and he pretended to be in love first. When he first confided in King Ying's true feelings, he subconsciously doubted it.
King Ying looked at Lin Suqing indifferently, then spread his hands on the table, and said to him: "Now there are only you and me, you can kill me to prevent future troubles." ”
As he spoke, his eyes suddenly sank, and he said, "If you don't kill it, I will win the position of the East Palace." ”
Lin Suqing was stunned, what was this for? Could it be that he was testing him?
If he really does it, I'm afraid that as soon as he has a murderous intention, he will end up with the same fate as that little er.
He looked at King Ying's expression at this time, very solemn and not as if he was teasing, and his eyes were particularly open, and he didn't seem to be tempting...... Could it be that he was really asked to choose?
To kill, or not to kill? Lin Suqing hesitated,
Since King Ying has released his determination, he will inevitably do whatever it takes to fight to the end. At that time, he may not only not be able to keep the crown prince's position in the East Palace, but even the prince's life may not be able to be saved.
Kill?
However, the crown prince and King Ying are siblings, although he Lin Suqing is not King Ying's brother, but since he has the identity of "elder brother", how can he have a conscience and how to do it.
What's more, if King Ying is killed by the hands of the crown prince, then in the future, even if the real prince ascends the throne and sits on the throne of the emperor. At that time, no matter how much he holds Yu and how hard he works, he will be infamous through the ages......
How cruel and unkind is fratricidal cannibalism.
Don't kill?
But if he doesn't kill him, maybe it will be the prince who will die in the future, and it will be him.
To kill? or not to kill?
Lin Suqing tried his best to think about it, but he couldn't think of a result.
However, he suddenly thought that maybe he could use other methods to contain King Ying in the future, so that King Ying would not be able to take the heir.
So...... Since the risk of seizing the heir still has a chance to be controlled, it is not considered a desperate person who has to be killed. What's more, right now, if what King Ying did was really just to test him, then once he did it, I am afraid that he would kill himself......
No, no, never.
You can't gamble, you can't kill.
Lin Suqing hurriedly used the guise of family affection and said, "You and I are brothers of flesh and blood, how can you tell me to kill you?
He stretched out his hand to hold King Ying's hand, and said gently: "You are a younger brother, I am an elder brother, no matter how earth-shattering and great achievements you make in the future, as an elder brother, I will not strangle you because of jealousy." Brother will only be proud of you and proud of you. ”
Lin Suqing was a little moved when he saw the suspicion in King Ying's eyes, and hurriedly said, "Although you said, this is not something that can be decided between you and me. However, if you think about it, in the final analysis, it is just a matter between you and me. ”
King Ying stared at Lin Suqing intently, his expression changed slightly, but he was still resolute, still obsessively waiting, waiting for Lin Suqing to answer - to kill or not to kill.
Seeing that he was so resolute, Lin Suqing didn't go in just to wait for a result, so he sighed heavily and said weakly: "I won't kill you." ”
"That's good. King Ying, who had been silent, spoke at this time, but he had no extra feelings, "In the future, you and I will rely on our strength." ”
King Ying's words stopped, got up suddenly, and left without looking back.
Lin Suqing saw him go downstairs, and hurriedly opened the window and chased him downstairs, and after a while, he saw a soldier downstairs leading two horses to the door of the Listening Rain Pavilion and waiting in the rain.
As soon as King Ying came out of the Listening Rain Pavilion, he turned over and got on his horse, and rode away with the soldiers in the pouring rain.
When the sound of the horses' hooves of King Ying and the soldier gradually faded away and disappeared behind the rain curtain, among the large and small shops downstairs, many merchants and guests in disguise appeared one after another, as well as individual pedestrians on the road, everyone looked up at the thin window where Lin Suqing was.
Lin Suqing put the fork pole back on, the window was wide open, and the wind and rain were blown in by the strong wind, which made his mind extremely clear.
At this time, a group of people also swarmed up in the attic, including the squire who was chatting loudly on the first floor, the nouveau riche who wore gold and silver, the newcomer Xiao Er and the vegetable servant, the Xiucai who was also discussing tea with people on the second floor, and the prodigal son who drank and had fun......
All kinds of disguises, each with its own hidden identity.
Among them were the government soldiers from the East Palace, the guards from King Ping, and some soldiers from the Wu Yi military camp.
They knelt in front of Lin Suqing in unison, waiting for the next instructions.
Lin Suqing sat in place for a while, unable to figure it out for a long time.
It turned out that King Ying only brought one soldier with him on this trip......
The wind blew down the fork of the window, and the moment before the window slammed shut, a strong wind swept in and blew the indoor screen around.
One by one, the corpses in disguise were stacked horizontally and vertically behind those screens, which was shocking.
Everyone was stunned at that moment.
