Chapter 523: Confused
"You investigated me?"
Dongfang Shuo's eyes suddenly showed a cold light.
And Sima Changyun didn't answer him immediately, but set off and walked into the house.
Seeing this, the former's face sank slightly, and he also set off to follow in. He himself came to find Sima Changyun, and everything was ready, and he was not afraid of any traps waiting for him.
When the Orient enters the house, you are greeted by the extremely luxurious decoration.
In the luxury, there is a bit of lightness, which is very compatible with each other, but it makes people feel that there is no slightest dew.
"I did investigate you, but unfortunately, it wasn't until after the order to investigate you was given that I discovered that the Sima family's abilities were also limited. As he spoke, Sima Changyun sat down directly.
Immediately, he reached out and gestured to a chair across from him.
On the coffee table next to the chair, there is a cup of hot tea, the tea is still warm, and there is still white heat coming out of the teacup.
Dongfang Shuo did not hesitate, and sat down unceremoniously as soon as he moved.
He looked at Sima Changyun and asked, "What does it mean that the Sima family's ability is limited?"
"All the clues on the surface show that you are born in Yuewei City, Xishan County, Longlin Empire, and have lived in Yuewei City as a pawn and trader for generations. Sima Changyun said, and picked up the hot tea beside him, "But there is no trace of you and your family living in the city, not even the slightest, and if you continue to investigate, no matter what direction, the clue will soon be broken." ”
As soon as the words fell, he took a sip of tea.
After drinking, the teacup is put back on the coffee table.
He looked at Dongfang Shuo, and continued: "However, in the oral conversation of the soldiers at the head of the city, there is a legendary story. About four months ago, a young man accompanied by a masked man effortlessly stopped a terrible monster attack for the city, and then the boy was enshrined as a hero. And the boy who was regarded as a hero by Yuwei City, like Xiangguo you, is also surnamed Dongfang. I don't know, do you have anything to do with him?"
"Why do you knowingly ask?"
Dongfang Shuo leaned on his back, put on a relaxed posture, and said, "But if you really don't know, I can tell you with great mercy, that's right, the young man who stopped the demon beast that was about to attack the city was me." ”
Xiang Guo's answer is really refreshing, enough to see that Xiang Guo's personality is quite straightforward. ”
Sima Changyun stroked his beard and said with a smile.
Dongfang Shuo looked at Sima Changyun and couldn't help but squint.
The latter said: "You should have seen from many other things that I am who I am, and there is no need to spy on my personality through such a trivial matter." ”
"Oh, yes. ”
Sima Changyun did not deny it.
After a slight pause, Sima Changyun looked at Dongfang Shuo again and asked, "Then Lord Xiangguo, why do you come to my Sima Mansion at this time?"
"Why do you knowingly ask one after another?"
Dongfang Shuo frowned, and there was a little more questioning in his tone.
Sima Changyun paused and said, "Why did Lord Xiangguo say this?"
"As soon as I arrived outside Sima's mansion, Sima Yuyin appeared in front of me, this is definitely not a coincidence, but carefully arranged, right? Fortunately, she is not the bait for you Sima Changyun to lure me into a trap, otherwise I would really be angry. Dongfang Shuo said, "And Sima Yuyin knocked on the door only twice, and then you came out and opened the door, as far as the depth of your room is concerned, you must have been waiting near the door for a long time." In addition, I can give a few random examples. ”
Speaking of this, Dongfang Shuo suddenly turned his head to look at the hot tea on the coffee table next to him, and continued, "The tea on this coffee table is still hot, and it hasn't been prepared for a long time." If you don't know why I'm here, there's no need to wait so hard for me. ”
After Sima Changyun heard Dongfang Shuo's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then laughed twice.
"The afterlife is terrifying. ”
He let out a long sigh.
But soon, his face sank again, and a pair of cloudy old eyes stared straight in the direction of Dongfang Shuo.
He opened his mouth and said, "You should not have come today, how I hope that I have misjudged." ”
"Why shouldn't I come?"
Dongfang Shuo asked rhetorically.
Sima Changyun said: "After dawn tomorrow, my resignation will be sent to the new emperor, and after that, I will no longer be an obstacle in front of you." And the Sima family has lost its control, so in the days to come, you can also deprive the Sima family of its power step by step, until one day you drive the Sima family out of the imperial city. Everything would have been in an orderly and gradual manner. But your actions today are obviously contrary to the old man's vision. ”
"How to disobey, tell me about it?"
"You didn't come alone, at this moment, outside Sima's Mansion, there are I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring, I'm afraid no one will be able to run. Sima Changyun said, "I also see your intention very clearly, it is nothing more than to put my Sima family to death today." ”
"Although you are old and dizzy, and you always do some foolish things, you actually see this matter very clearly. ”
The corners of Dongfang Shuo's mouth hooked without a trace.
At this time, he picked up the hot tea in his hand and held it in his hand and kept shaking it.
He looked down at the slightly greenish tea, at least judging by his eyes and nose that there was no poison in it.
But even if it is really not poisonous, Dongfang Shuo will not drink it.
"The old man is never confused, but you are too confused. ”
Sima Changyun said.
These words did not make Dongfang Shuo's expression change in any way, he said, "How can you be confused?"
"Letting the Sima family go is equivalent to giving all the families a way out. If you do what the Sima family does today, I'm afraid there will be no time left for you to clean up the dynasty. ”
Sima Changyun said.
Dongfang Shuo listened, and put down the hot tea in his hand.
"In the big family, not all of them are ignorant of current affairs like you. I will leave their way out to them, but only your Sima family must have no way back. ”
Oriental Shuo Road.
Sima Changyun frowned: "Why?"
"Why? You still don't know why, that's why you're confused. ”
"I want you to tell me. ”
"You think you're wise to leave yourself a way out, right?"
"Isn't it?"
"Therefore, Chaogang can't just rely on the big family and cultivate a short-thinking person like you, after all, it's a matter of time. ”。
"What do you mean?"
"You forbear for a while, if I let go of the Sima family and give the Sima family a chance to breathe, wouldn't it be equivalent to giving the Sima family a chance to make a comeback and put me to death?" Dongfang Shuo's face suddenly showed a little cold light, "You are really confused." ”
