Chapter 241: Give it a go
In the empty prison, Liu Yan fell into endless deep thought, Xu Bingde's words made Liu Yan, who was originally about to move, instantly see hope again, the bloodless blade must be more perfect than any ending he originally set, but can it really be as Xu Bingde said?
"Criminal Liu Yan, someone has come to see you."
The jailer's hoarse voice interrupted Liu Yan's thoughts, and he was startled, and when he looked up, it turned out to be Liu Xun's eldest son, Liu Xingyuan. Liu Yan frowned, stood up, stared at Liu Xingyuan, and slowly approached Liu Xingyuan with a puzzled expression. Are you here to show off your father? ”
Liu Xingyuan shook his head expressionlessly and did not answer.
Liu Yan stared at Liu Xingyuan again, and sneered: "Is that your father sending you to see if I am dead or alive in prison?" ”
"Not really."
"And what are you going to do?"
"Kill you!"
Liu Yan's heart was shocked when he heard this, his face turned pale instantly, his eyes stared at Liu Xingyuan, seeing that he was expressionless, he didn't mean to do anything, and asked more and more strangely: "Then why don't you do it yet?" ”
Liu Xingyuan still said coldly: "Because I don't want to kill you." ”
"You don't want to kill me?" Liu Yan was puzzled, "Your father ordered you to kill me?" ”
Liu Xingyuan smiled coldly, "Not this time, but I think there should be many people who want your life." ”
"Why?" Liu Yan didn't feel scared, but asked him with great interest, feeling that this Liu Xingyuan was different from Liu Xun's sister-in-law, Liu Xingzhi.
"Because your life can be exchanged for high officials for them."
Liu Yan laughed when he heard this, "Then how am I okay now!" ”
"That's because you can't do anything in prison right now."
Liu Yan restrained his smile and asked with a gloomy face, "What do you mean by this?" ”
"The trapped beast is still fighting, I didn't expect you to resign yourself to fate here, not like the Royal Highness the Crown Prince I know."
Liu Yan's eyes flashed, and he seemed to understand the other party's intentions, "What is the purpose of saying these words?" ”
"Nothing! I just feel that you and I are in a similar situation, so I have this heartfelt statement. ”
"Oh! Hehe......" Liu Yan sneered, "You are the son of King Ning, who dares to kill you!" ”
A trace of melancholy appeared on Liu Xingyuan's face, "Of course, he is also a person who wants to be a high-ranking official." ”
"Oh?" After Liu Yan was surprised, he suddenly thought, "It's your younger brother Liu Xingzhi!" Hehe...... It is not difficult to understand that you are the eldest son of King Ning, and you have always been famous, and although Liu Xingzhi is the eldest son, he is younger than you. In terms of character and talent, anyone with a discerning eye knows that he is not as good as you, and it is reasonable for Liu Xingzhi to want to get rid of you, the brother who is a concubine. ”
"Reasonable?" Liu Xingyuan was quite unimpressed by his words, "We are all brothers and sisters of the same clan, what can these meaningless battles bring to our Liu family and the world?" ”
Liu Yan also said disdainfully: "The weak eat the strong, this is the law of the emperor's family." Behold, am I not given it by thy father, the King? If everyone is father-son-son-filial brother-friend-brother-friend, then can the imperial grandfather still sit on the Xuanzheng Palace? Will your father have a chance to take the throne from me? Liu Yan said with some emotion, "There are always people who have to make sacrifices." ”
"Including you?"
"If the one who loses in the end is my ......," Liu Yan looked down at the shackles in his hand and continued, "That means I'm not suitable for this position." ”
"And you're throwing in the towel?"
Liu Yan laughed, "Do you think this game of chess is over?" Liu Xingyuan! Seriously, I'm already surprised that you're here today. In the past, I thought that I was the only one in the clan who could bear the world, but now it seems that you are also the best among them. However, I think the chess between you and Liu Xingzhi is enough for you to mess around! ”
A trace of unhappiness flashed on Liu Xingyuan's face, "I just want to remind you that there are many people who want to kill you." ”
"Hehe......" Liu Yan sneered, "Including your brother?" He wants to get rid of my troubles as soon as possible, and then solve your brother, right? ”
Liu Xingyuan didn't want to answer, and was about to turn around when Liu Yan suddenly stopped him and said, "Don't you do it?" Kill me, maybe you can live a few more days, anyway, even if I die now, the imperial grandfather will not investigate deeply, and you can go back and explain. ”
Liu Xingyuan was silent for a long time before replying: "Even if I kill you, he won't let me go." ”
"Didn't you think about preemptively?"
Liu Xingyuan snorted coldly, "I'm different from you. ”
Liu Yan laughed again, "But the result is the same, isn't it?" ”
Liu Yan watched Liu Xingyuan's back leave, although he felt secretly happy that he had successfully provoked Liu Xingyuan and Liu Xingzhi's brother, but after listening to Liu Xingyuan's words, he felt a little bottomless in his heart. Liu Yan lay on the wooden bed and couldn't figure out the essentials.
At this moment, a dull voice said, "Your Highness, please dine." ”
Liu Yan was shocked, why did the jailer here suddenly call himself "Your Highness"? And he also said the word "please" very respectfully. When Liu Yan looked up violently, the dress of delivering food outside the prison door was nothing special, it was clearly the guard in the prison!
"Your Highness......" said the jailer again sneakily, "please eat." ”
Liu Yanteng stood up, is he? Liu Yan dragged the heavy shackles towards the man. The jailer's half-hidden face, Liu Yan instantly knew who it was, so he lowered his voice and asked, "General Xun, why are you here?" ”
Xun Mou looked left and right, and saw that the officials everywhere were far away from him, so he said reassuringly: "Your Highness, the minister will make a long story short." Now that the situation is complicated, what is Your Highness's plan? ”
Liu Yan was stunned at first, and then said with a blank look: "Today, my father-in-law Xu Bingbu came, and he asked me to hold the troops and wait for the wind to pass, and then ask for the emperor's will." ”
Xun Mou said thoughtfully: "Judging from the current situation, I'm afraid this road will not work." As far as I know, King Ning has begun to snare your charges everywhere, and even the queen, King Ning is ready to let people participate. In Yiweichen's view, Lord Xu's thoughts may be too optimistic and conservative. ”
Liu Yan's face sank like water, remembering what Liu Xingyuan said when he came from afar before, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and continued: "General Xun, do you mean to take the initiative?" ”
Xun Mou's face was gloomy, and he nodded: "In this way, there may be a glimmer of life." ”
Liu Yan's eyes were blazing, all the hatred seemed to burn in his eyes in an instant, sit back and wait to die, it is better to gamble, and his chances of winning are not in decimals, let it go, maybe the turnaround will be faster, the ghost knows when the imperial grandfather will change his mind, and who will calculate what poisonous trick Liu Xun's father and son will use to frame themselves.
