Liu Yi put away the sword in his hand and said to the strong man: "After you go back, give me a message to your master." ”

The strong man knelt on the ground and promised again and again: "Okay, good, just now the little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, as long as the hero doesn't kill the little one, I will pass on anything to you, as long as the hero you don't kill the little one......"

I don't know why it's a little funny, just now the man was still calling himself his grandfather in front of Liu Yi, and now he is scared like this, and he immediately changed his name to Xiao, which is really a bit funny.

If this strong man knew that the man in front of him was the emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom, he didn't know how he would react, whether he would bow down and confess his guilt, or kill himself in front of Liu Yi for his arrogance and ignorance just now?

Looking at his appearance as a snake and rat, he should have chosen the former and stole his life, right?

Liu Yi continued unhurriedly: "As soon as you went back and told your master, you said that it was the Jianghu Liu Daxia who burned your master's inn. Also, don't let me see him bullying the people again, otherwise it won't be as simple as burning an inn. ”

The strong man knelt on the ground and could only say yes again and again, and said: "Okay, good, I will bring all the words that the hero said today, not more than a word, not less than a sentence, and beg the good man to spare my life." ”

"There is one more thing...... Liu Yi hesitated for a moment before continuing, "It's just that you are not allowed to do this business anymore, wash your hands as soon as possible, and turn back." Otherwise, sooner or later, your life will be lost in this matter. ”

After speaking, Liu Yi ordered someone to let go of the strong man.

The strong man stumbled back, not daring to even turn his head halfway.

Liu Yi only found out now that there were corpses all around, a mess, and the air was filled with a thick bloody atmosphere, but the ground was full of people who had just bullied, and none of them were the corpses of the secret guards.

"Childe, what to do with these corpses here?"

"Burn it down like this inn, and perish with the sins of their lives."

Liu Yi's voice was as cold as frost, like a god of death sent from the underworld. He has long been indifferent to life and death, after all, how many people will sacrifice their lives to climb to this throne, and when he is tired of seeing it, he will forget his fear.

The guards threw the bodies of eight brawny men into the burning inn, where the flames were dancing like hungry children clapping in welcome to a new meal.

At this moment, the inn is a huge human melting pot, melting the original essence of man, melting the sins brought by man, and melting the last beauty of man.

Man comes into this world as both beautiful and evil, the coexistence of beauty and ugliness. How much hope there is at the moment of croaking and how much disappointment. How much good and evil were instilled in him when he was ignorant? None of this is known.

Human beings have never been simple living beings, and they cannot be analyzed purely from one aspect, whether it is the emperor or the common people.

Liu Yi knew in his heart that maybe these people didn't want to do this business, they were all forced to go down the wrong path by life, just like Ye Niang and his wife who are now hiding in the stable.

Liu Yi said to the other secret guards: "You all disperse, you are not allowed to come out without my order." ”

Liu Yi and Zhuang Shanfang bypassed the burning inn and walked to the stable, at this time there were still a few secret guards guarding carefully, Liu Yi waved his hand to signal them to go down.

They opened the curtain of the carriage, and at this time the shopkeeper was holding Ye Niang, and Ye Niang was trembling in the shopkeeper's arms. Because Ye Niang has never heard the sound of men fighting. Although she has done so many evil things, she has never really wanted to kill anyone, she is just forced by life and bullies, she has never killed a person head-on, either stunned or poisoned, so she has never heard such a tragic fight.

Liu Yi lifted the curtain of the door and said expressionlessly: "Okay, come out, it's okay, those people are dead." ”

He spoke in a very lazy voice, as if it were just a trivial matter. Indeed, this matter is really not worth mentioning compared to grabbing the throne.

When Ye Niang heard that those people were dead, she cried even more.

Because those people had helped the bullies bully them, Ye Niang's mind was full of the fierce and vicious looks of those people when they beat and scolded them, but she didn't want those people to die. I don't know if Ye Niang should be relieved or afraid at this time.

Ye Niang didn't know whether she hated those people or not.

Hate? Those people used to beat and scolded them like that.

Don't you hate? Some of those people are also forced by life.

This is how the world is entangled in love and hatred into hemp rope twisted together, you can't choose whether you should love or hate, you are just a little beast being pulled away by the hemp rope.

"Okay, you can go, they don't dare to do anything to you."

Ye Niang collected her tears, climbed out of the car with the shopkeeper, and fell to the ground on their knees.

The shopkeeper knelt on the ground and said, "Childe, even if the inn is burned, although it seems that we are relieved, but we have nowhere to go, I beg you to take me and Ye Niang." ”

Zhuang Shan said with a look of embarrassment: "Childe, no, they don't know where they came from." And they just wanted to poison you, don't you. ”

Ye Niang also knelt on the ground, crying bitterly and said, "Childe, we were forced to poison you just now. You also saw those people just now, they are bullies, so it always proves that what we said is true, right? ”

Liu Yi lowered his head and thought about it, his face was a little heavy, and then said: "Go to the Yan family's iron shop, just say that Liu Gongzi asked you to come." ”

The Yan family iron shop is not like other iron shops, other iron shops are just doing some small business, but the Yan family iron shop is the eyeliner arranged by Liu Yi in the capital, and the business is huge, and he privately casts weapons for the royal family.

Hearing Liu Yi say that he wanted Ye Niang and his wife to go to the Yan family's iron shop, Zhuang Shanfang suddenly became anxious: "Son, this is absolutely impossible, the Yan family's iron shop is a good job, and you must not fertilize the water to flow into the field." ”

Zhuang Shanfang couldn't say the importance of the Yan family's iron shop, so he could only vaguely say that the Yan family's iron shop was a good job, so as to remind Liu Yi. Yan's iron shop was arranged by Liu Yi in Yanjing to investigate the dynamics of spies in various countries, and it cannot be easily exposed. Ye Niang and his wife are not very familiar with each other, so I'm afraid it's not good to put them in like this.

Liu Yi naturally understood the meaning of Zhuang Shanfang's words, and said: "I believe them, and I will leave this fat difference to them." ”

Liu Yi's trust in them is based on sympathy and a sense of sameness, and he feels that the couple in front of him is very much like himself and Xu Yanjun. And he didn't completely trust Ye Niang and his wife, so what asked Ye Niang and his wife to report was not his Liu Yi's name, but the three words Liu Gongzi. He believed that Yan Laosan could understand what he meant, and would not arrange important internal confidential work for Ye Niang and his wife.

Zhuang Shan was embarrassed: "Childe, this is not good......"

Before Zhuang Shanfang could finish speaking, Liu Yi interrupted and said, "Okay, don't say it, just listen to me." ”

Liu Yi was simply willful once.

The constraints of the monarchy and throne on him were too great. Before he ascended the throne, he only felt that the monarch above the throne was too majestic, and he held the life and death of thousands of people in his hands. And it is also because of this throne that the monarch cannot easily show joy and sorrow, and it is taboo for the king to be happy and angry.

Liu Yi untied the money bag around his waist, poured out half of the silver and handed it to the shopkeeper, saying, "This silver is for you, you will definitely be able to use it on the way to Yanjing." ”

After the shopkeeper received the silver, he and Ye Niang bowed on the ground and said: "Thank you Liu Gongzi, you are our reborn parents, and we and my wife can't say anything about thanks." ”

Liu Yi picked up Ye Niang and his wife and said, "Don't thank you, get up quickly." If you don't hurry, I'm afraid that the news will reach the bully the next day, and you won't be happy. ”

Ye Niang and his wife got up and helped each other to leave here.

Liu Yi looked at the figure of the two of them leaving, and inexplicably thought of the scene of love when he and Xu Yanjun were first married.

The first wish of all lovers in the world is to be a person with one heart, and the white head is not separated. But how many people can do it? Most of them are on the ditch, and the ditch water flows from east to west. The days of love in the past are like flowing water, and they will never come back.

After the two walked away, Liu Yi climbed into the carriage and prepared to leave the place.

Xu Xuan in the car was still sleeping, and the sound of breathing was so even. The little face is puffy, just like the peach blossoms at the foot of Siming Mountain.

Liu Yi stroked Xu Yuan's face, which was as soft as a freshly baked steamed bun.

Xu Yuan, who was sleeping in the dream, snorted softly, then twisted his body, and gently waved his jade hand on his face a few times, as if he was driving away flies.

Liu Yi chuckled, a woman who usually doesn't look smiling will be so cute.

Zhuang Shanfang also got into the carriage, and whipped the horse, and the horse ran fast, and after a while, it ran out of the barren mountain.

It was sunny for several days in a row, and the clouds were thick on this day, and the air was unusually stuffy, which made Liu Yi and Xu Yuan in the car sweat, and Zhuang Shanfang outside the car also sweated, but it was less.

Zhuang Shanfang sat in front, stopped the horse, stretched half of his body into the curtain, and said, "Childe, look at the thunder in the sky, I'm afraid it will rain next." There is no inn nearby, there is only a mountain in front of it, and the carriage can't go up, what can I do? ”

Liu Yi thought for a while before saying, "You park the carriage here, let's go up the mountain and have a look." ”

Zhuang Shanfang got the order, got out of the carriage, led the carriage to the side of the grove, and fixed the horse rope to the tree.

Liu Yi jumped lightly and got out of the carriage, Liu Yi stretched out his hand and handed it to Xu Yuanyuan, wanting to help her get out of the carriage, but he didn't want Xu Yuanyuan to jump down directly.

Xu Yuanxuan said with some pride: "Look, I don't need your help." ”

This scene somewhat reminded Liu Yi of Xu Yanjun when he first met him, Xu Yanjun at that time was also so young and heroic, and he had a little more youthful and ignorant pride, unlike the sick now, his eyes are still full of hatred.

Xu Yuanyuan is not usually like this, and she doesn't know why she always wants to show a little more in front of Liu Yi. She herself doesn't know what this is for, is it really that she has feelings for Liu Yi? She tried to avoid it, but it seemed to be true.

This relationship is not like that of her and Chen Zhiheng, which can be rejected with one bite.
