Chapter Thirty-Six: The Dark Tide is Surging

Prince's Mansion.

The prince was very proud at this time, he wanted to pull Rojo off the horse, but he didn't expect that there was an unexpected joy, Yaheng actually climbed Liu Xiu, which was a result he never expected.

He raised his eyes to the sky, looked at the sun, his palms clenched into fists, and in a few days, he would take its place and look down on all beings!

Song Yang just left, saying that the prime minister's sworn friend had prepared evidence to prove the prime minister's innocence and wanted to save him, so the prince didn't have enough time to force Yaheng to question and involve more enemies.

Time is running out for both sides.

And there was still no movement on the emperor's side, as if the qiē that happened had nothing to do with him.

Although Yaheng has his own hardships, he also has his own ideas, he chose to drag Liu Xiu into the water, but he believes in Liu Xiu's strength and believes that he can turn the danger into a disaster.

This is a hurdle, if Liu Xiu can cross it, for himself, his reputation will be further enhanced, and for the prince, it will be fatal, and the emperor will not be so mediocre as the prince to do wrong, he will resolve this "dispute" at the best time point.

It's just that no matter whether the result is good or bad, for the prime minister himself, there will not necessarily be a good result, he is already old, he can no longer withstand the toss, years of political turmoil almost exhausted his energy, and he was tortured, he felt that it was difficult for him to live anymore.

The old man who used to be powerful is now in a prison cell, quietly waiting for death-

Loking, Governor's Palace.

Luo Huo looked at Liu Xiu, who was silent in front of him, and didn't know what he was thinking.

In just a few months, Liu Xiu has changed too much, and there is almost no resemblance to the weak-crowned boy before.

In this whirlpool of political disputes, many people died, but those who survived will be those at the peak of the empire's power.

But will Liu Xiu live?

He sighed silently in his heart, in fact, no matter what Liu Xiu's result was, he Luo Huo had no other way to choose.

can only take refuge in Liu Xiu, advance and retreat with him, and live and die together.

At the Lantern Festival, he wanted to reveal his heart, but he was interrupted by Tuoba Yu, and invited him to the banquet at this moment, but in the name of practice, he took the opportunity to show his intentions.

After being full of wine and food, Luo Huo smiled and said to Liu Xiu:

"Your Highness, the old minister sees that you have hardly touched your chopsticks, is the food unappetizing?"

Liu Xiu was slightly apologetic and replied with a smile:

"General Luo is too worried, I have a bad appetite in the past two days, and I have failed the general."

Rojo smiled:

"Where are the words, anyway, the days are still long, and I'm afraid that there will be no chance in the future?"

After speaking, he suddenly stopped, without a wrinkle, and said to Liu Xiu:

"By the way, the old minister just got the news that the prime minister had an accident, I wonder if His Highness knows about this matter?"

Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment and said in surprise:

"What? What happened to the prime minister? ”

Luo Huo stared at Liu Xiu for a while, and when he saw that he didn't look fake, he sighed and ordered his subordinates to come over and clean up the table and let Liu Xiu go to the inner room.

Liu Xiu arched his hand and followed him into the inner hall of the back house.

By this time it was already dark, and Rojo went straight to the table and lit the candle.

In the dim light, Liu Xiu sat there quietly, Luo Huo casually looked at him, and saw that although he was dressed in casual clothes, there was an indifferent nobility between his eyebrows.

It is not at all similar to the young man who is only willing to promise and is timid and shy when he sees himself.

What can change a person to this kind of course? Is it power, or is it love?

Rojo subconsciously waved his hand, sighed, and said:

"Your Royal Highness, you have been preparing to go to the guard recently, you may not know that the prime minister has been imprisoned by the prince today, and confessed that he was the mastermind of the assassination of the Lantern Society, and at the same time confessed to the prince, saying that Your Highness, you are an accomplice, and today the old minister received the prime minister's confession from the prince, which is indeed his handwriting."

Liu Xiu's heart froze, and he stood up suddenly, and said:

"How can the prime minister's old body withstand the punishment of prison? For the sake of his own strength, the prince can unscrupulously detain important ministers, and he is not afraid of the cold of the people! ”

After speaking, he pondered for a moment, sneered, and said:

"But the royal brother is a lot more stable this time, that night has been me and Lord Wang escorted, and in the end, it was the Yingge warriors who arrived in time to save the holy car, he is now calm, he will not come to arrest me, I am afraid that he is fabricating evidence, and he will block the mouth of the people in the future."

Rojo nodded:

"Then what are your plans, Your Highness?"

Liu Xiu smiled, his eyes were erratic, and after a while, he shook his head and said:

"General Luo, you have to take care of yourself these days and be careful."

As he spoke, he looked at the darkness slowly approaching in front of him and said:

"It's getting dark, General Luo should rest early."

Luo Huo was a little stunned by Liu Xiu's two sentences, and said in a daze:

"What about you, Your Highness?"

Liu Xiu looked at Luo Huo, shook his head, and said:

"It seems that I can't leave recently, I plan to meet the old prime minister first, find a way to rescue him, and then go to meet the prince to see what other means he has."

With that, he stood up, greeted Rojo briefly, and walked out in his gaze, and it didn't take long for his figure to melt into the slightly dark twilight ahead.

The future is at a loss, Your Highness take care-

Luojing, the British Prince's Palace.

Liu Xiu had just gotten out of the carriage and had not yet left to enter the house, when he suddenly saw the princess who "happened" to pass by not far away, Tuoba Yu.

She saw Liu Xiu, with an intoxicating smile on her beautiful face, and said:

"Your Highness, long time no see."

Liu Xiu looked at her, a smile appeared on his face, and said:

"What a rare guest, the princess was frightened by the last Lantern Festival, Liu Xiu felt guilty, and she didn't dare to disturb, I don't know if you're okay, princess?"

Tuoba Yu smiled playfully, nodded, and said:

"Okay, it's all good, it's much more fun to be a big man than leaving the country, I haven't seen you for a few days, His Royal Highness is more beautiful, yesterday I heard the royal brother say that you are going to be sent to the border of the country, presumably in the future, it will be a problem."

Liu Xiu's heart was in his heart, he was the third prince of the empire, and he was named the king of England because of his military exploits, looking at the entire Han Dynasty, his position has threatened the prince, and even faintly has the tendency to stand up to the prince.

Although there were countless thoughts in his heart, Liu Xiu's face was still as usual, and he said with a smile:

"The princess said that she laughed, Liu Xiu can have today's status, and she is grateful to her heart for the support of the whole country, but Liu Xiu, as the prince of the empire, is trusted by his father, and he should do his best to contribute to the empire, and Liu Xiu has never thought about it."

Tuoba Yu's eyes were like water, and she turned around Liu Xiu, she pursed her lips and smiled, looked at the darkening sky, and said:

"Last time, His Highness promised me that I could live in the mansion, but it was delayed because of the assassination, and this time I heard that His Highness's mansion has the most beautiful garden in the entire Luojing City, I wonder if I can visit it?"

Liu Xiu smiled, thinking that there was something important, and just as he was about to open his mouth to refuse, he heard a sneer in front of him and said:

"Your Highness has something to do, and you will ask me to accompany you out later, so you can come back during the day."

It turned out that Wen Ya, who was waiting at the door, saw that after Liu Xiu came back, she was pestered by this Tuoba jade to talk, and saw that the two of them always ignored themselves, and even their eyes did not slant up, and they were very angry in their hearts.

At this moment, I heard that Tuoba Yu was going to "enter the house" at this time to enjoy the flowers, today's weather is quite good, the moon is full of sky, the so-called flowers before the moon, Qingqing I and I, how can she endure it!

Thinking like this in his heart, he kept moving, walked forward, didn't look at Tuoba Yu, only stared at Liu Xiu, and pouted and said:

"Your Royal Highness asked me to wait in the mansion early in the morning, saying that you want me to accompany you to meet someone, but you have to go out for a day and only come back now, and at this moment you have to accompany this big beauty to spend the moon before the moon, Qingqing I, hey, I want to be His Royal Highness the King of the Han Dynasty, the third prince of the empire, I am so untrustworthy, I don't count, do you know, I have been waiting for you here for a day!"

Liu Xiu looked at the puffing and deflated Wen Ya, with a helpless expression, turned his head and spread his hands to Tuoba Yu, and shook his head.

Tuoba Yu looked at Wen Ya, and suddenly said to Liu Xiu:

"This girl is elegant and beautiful, and she is full of heroism, I seem to have seen it somewhere, but I don't know if it was the woman who resisted the enemy at the lantern festival and saved the holy car?"

Liu Xiu glanced at Wen Ya, and saw her standing there pretty, with anger on her face, and it was difficult to hide a heroic spirit between her eyebrows, and nodded:

"Her name is Wen Ya."

Tuoba Yu's eyes flashed, he looked at her deeply, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said:

"Since Your Highness has something to do, I won't bother this time, and I'll visit the mansion another day."

As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Wen Ya and said with a smile:

"Is that okay?"

Wen Ya was stunned, and her face instantly turned crimson.

Seeing her like this, Tuoba Yu chuckled, and without waiting for Liu Xiu to answer, he waved his hand, took a few steps forward, and came to Wen Ya.

Somehow, looking at the direct gaze of this woman from all over the country, Wen Ya subconsciously shrank back, as if she had an inexplicable fear when she saw her.

Liu Xiu's eyes flashed.

Seeing her like this, Tuoba Yu immediately showed a kind smile, and was about to reach out to pull her hand, Wen Ya instinctively dodged, and suddenly saw Liu Xiu's gaze, but somehow, he froze.

Let Tuoba Yu grab her hand.

She suddenly felt that the sky had darkened suddenly, and Tuoba Yu's hands were smooth and delicate, delicate and gentle, while her hands were covered with calluses, and they were not as thick as those of burning sticks.

Ten years ago, his own hands were also delicate.

"Congratulations, Wen Ya, the Lantern Festival battle, famous all over the world, when His Royal Highness the King was in danger, he took you in and saved you from the dire situation, but I didn't expect it to be today?"

Wen Ya heard the words "When I was in danger, I took you in and saved you from the dire situation", her body was shocked, and her eyes couldn't help but look at Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu's eyes were expressionless, but there was a flash of murder in his eyes, and when he saw the gentle gaze, a touch of tenderness suddenly appeared in his deep eyes, but it was not seen in an instant.

He smiled, faced Tuoba Yu, and said with a smile:

"Princess, you know what happened back then. It's just that I still have something to do, and I'll ask you face to face another day, how do you know these things? ”

Wen Ya looked at Liu Xiu, the corners of her mouth were slightly pale, and she didn't speak.

Tuoba Yu glanced at Liu Xiu and said with a smile:

"Then don't disturb Your Highness, and come to the house another day to pay a visit."

After speaking, he glanced at Wen Ya, didn't speak, smiled and turned around and walked out.

Liu Xiu smiled and walked out side by side with her and saw her off.

Wen Ya looked at their parallel backs, stayed there, and did not follow.

In front of the house, everyone watched quietly, and no one spoke.

A gust of wind blew up the fallen leaves on the ground, drifting around, and I don't know whose house it fell into, whose hands it was—

Prince's Mansion.

Time is pressing, Yaheng has nothing to ask, but there is no evidence of Liu Xiu's rebellion in his hand.

Liu Xiu was very dazzling in the assassination of the Lantern Festival, and he suppressed himself fiercely, and it was not easy for him to turn over completely.

However, he had no other chance to bring down Liu Xiu, assassinating Liu Xiu was not realistic, and the knights of Yingge behind him were terrifying.

This time, it was not a good opportunity, and I would cut off his wings and knock him to the ground, never turning over!

Some think that although this move is a dangerous move, it has an obvious deterrent effect, and some think that bringing down Yaheng will have little effect, and it will only mislead the country and things, and it is even more foolish to take down Liu Xiu.

In Luojing City, all forces are as silent as stagnant water on the surface, but there is already a dark tide underneath.
