Volume 2 The Walker Patrols the Four Seas Chapter 191 The Battle of the Blue River (12)
Wei Gongzi was obscure in his early years, and he was unbridled and indulgent on the surface, but in fact he was very thoughtful and cautious, and he collected many customers on the grounds that he liked to make friends, but he only chose the five most trustworthy people to be his personal guards.
Lisuo's betrayal had already broken him. Who knows, the traitor is not the only one, this woman who was just guarding the carriage and desperately injured was actually a pawn of others who fell next to Wei Gongzi.
Huang Jiu tried his best to urge the Shenxing Stone, wanting Wei Yeqiu to escape farther.
Who knew that the shark silk secretly destroyed the Shenxing Stone, causing it to be seriously worn out, and it couldn't last too long.
"What!?" Xi Jiu was shocked when she heard this, and then she looked at the pitiful appearance of the shark silk who was shrinking in Wei Gongzi's arms, and she couldn't get angry, so she could only sigh helplessly.
Obviously, Shark Silk's mind is far less vicious, she is just a pawn to be used.
She mistakenly thought that she owed the fourth uncle of the Wei family for saving his life, so she struggled in her heart to destroy the Shenxing Stone. But the deepest part of her heart is still loyal to Wei Yeqiu, or... Adore him.
She couldn't ignore the fourth uncle's request, because she thought that she owed the other party a life, but she didn't want Wei Yeqiu to die, and her heart was also extremely painful.
When Wei Yeqiu told her the cruel truth, she was even closer to collapse.
Wei Gongzi patted Shark Silk's back and said, "You can go." ”
"Childe, I was wrong." Shark Silk's eyes were red, and she cried: "Don't drive me away, I just wanted to repay the fourth uncle's life-saving grace to kill you, it was not my intention." Don't drive me away, I'm willing to continue to escort you. ”
"Presumably, even if I die, my fourth uncle will not let you go easily. You first find a small place to hide, and then go to Qingyue Country to find Qi Meiren, she will save your life. Wei Gongzi slowly pushed the shark silk away.
Shark Silk kept shaking her head and said, "Childe, please, let me stay by your side, I won't hurt you anymore, my life is yours." ”
"Let's go." Wei Gongzi's tone was gentle, but his attitude was very tough.
"Don't." Shark Silk is still struggling.
Wei Gongzi snorted in a low voice: "Jinshu!" ”
Suddenly, a goshawk flew from outside the car, grabbed the shark by the collar, and dragged her out of the car.
"No... Childe, I was wrong... I'm still going to be with you... Son! The shark tried her best to break free, but was dragged out by the spirit eagle.
The sound of the shark silk crying gradually disappeared, and Wei Gongzi and the three players were left in the carriage, and Jinshu was on the roof of the car to guard against the enemy.
Wei Gongzi looked at the three Skywalkers in front of him, and said with a bitter smile: "Now do you still think my identity as the young son of the Wei family means anything?" ”
Just because he is a young son, even if he is extremely talented, even if he is deeply favored by his father, he can only learn to be a man with his tail between his legs at a very young age.
Yes, in the eyes of outsiders, he is a profligate and unscrupulous gentleman, but such a depraved appearance is the cloak he has to wear in order to protect himself.
Once he dares to show his talent and ambition too early, he will end up like his second and third brothers, being squeezed out of the Chixi Kingdom by the eldest prince who has no access to the central power.
No, it will only be worse than that, because his mother is not a wife, and he and the eldest prince are not biological brothers of the same father and mother, and the eldest prince will be even more spicy.
But he is not destined to be a mortal after all, he is unwilling to live under the control of the eldest prince for the rest of his life, so he has pretended to be a swinger for so many years, and when he passed the year of the weak crown, he began to exert his strength, began to collect customers openly and secretly, and began to show his extraordinary talent.
He trained his own guard, and was also appreciated by his father and went to the Qi family to celebrate his birthday.
But on the way, he was about to be hired by his own family to be a powerful killer, and his own guards turned against him one after another.
He still couldn't get rid of the palm of his big brother.
Or it is difficult to resist the coercion of the words "eldest son".
This is the norm in extended families.
But how could he be willing?
"Don't be discouraged, aren't you dead yet?" Xi Jiu persuaded very bluntly.
Wei Yeqiu opened the folding fan, stroked it on the surface of the fan, and muttered, "Yes, if you don't die, you haven't lost yet." ”
Jiang Ling frowned slightly at this time, looked directly at Wei Gongzi and asked, "You still have hole cards that have not been played." ”
Not an interrogative sentence, but an affirmative sentence.
Hearing this, Wei Gongzi looked up at Jiang Ling, smiled, and said curiously, "Why do you think so?" ”
Jiang Ling thought for a moment and said: "You have been in obscurity for so many years, you must have always been cautious and cautious, and you will never take risks out of impulse, but you know that this time you will die for life, but you still accept the task." ”
"Maybe I'm overestimating my own strength." Wei Yeqiu asked again: "I've been hidden for so many years, won't I be impulsive once?" Bet once? ”
Jiang Ling paused, shook his head again, and said, "You are indeed taking risks, but you are definitely not breaking jars. This time I went to the country of Qi to pay homage, although the betrayal of the shark should not have been imagined by you, but the betrayal of Lisuo was expected by you, and you also knew in advance that there was an ambush on the mountain road, but you still chose to go down. There is also the fact that you deliberately said that you were looking for a guard in the Songheng County Tavern, even if you like to make friends, but this trip is so dangerous, you still have to find outsiders to be the guard. Of course, in the end, you chose us, but you didn't hurt yourself because of it. But objectively speaking, your behavior is light, and it is completely asking for trouble. ”
Wei Gongzi's eyes lit up slightly, but his face was a little more serious, and he said calmly: "Go on." ”
"You go to the tavern to look for a guard, and it looks like you're revealing information about your whereabouts, but in fact you're testing your opponent. Presumably, the whereabouts and goings of those people in the restaurant are secretly helping you find out! Jiang Ling said firmly.
Hearing this, Klute and Xi Jiu both fell silent, pondering the deep meaning of Jiang Ling's words.
Wei Gongzi's eyes were a little complicated, but he didn't deny it, it seemed that he was said by Jiang Ling.
Jiang Ling continued: "And knowing that there was an ambush on the mountain road, you also faintly sensed that Lisuo was a traitor, but you still calmly entered the game. In your mind, this is not a momentary act of blind confidence or impulsiveness, but more like a calculation. Or rather, you just deliberately waited for them to kill you. ”
Wei Gongzi shook his head slightly and laughed, a little bitter, but also a little relieved, he looked at Jiang Ling approvingly and said: "I didn't expect you to speculate to such a point, I thought my plan was very clever, but you saw through it so quickly, worthy of a Skywalker." ”
"Why are you doing that?" Kluet still didn't figure it out.
Wei Yeqiu took a deep breath, his eyes became a little sharper, and said, "I just want them to kill me, and then... Find out who is behind them. ”
"Didn't you already guess who was going to shoot you?" Xi Jiu was also puzzled: "Why do you have to take the risk to prove it once?" ”
"No, he's not here to prove who his enemies are." Jiang Ling had already understood the whole thing through Wei Yeqiu's affirmation, and explained: "He is trying to catch the evidence that those people have shot at him!" ”
Kluter's eyes lit up, and he realized the key, and said: "Intercept and kill the young son of the Wei family, prevent the Wei family from congratulating the Qi family on his birthday, once there is definite evidence pointing to the murderer behind the scenes, the head of the Wei family will naturally not be spared!" ”
"Even..."Xi Jiu suddenly understood, and he tried to say in disbelief: "Pull the eldest prince into the water." ”
"That's true," Wei Gongzi's eyes were solemn, and he said calmly: "I just want my father to see that his eldest son will poison his brother for the sake of power, and I also want other people in the clan to see how unscrupulous and vicious he Wei Yan is." Even if he can't be pulled into the water in one fell swoop, it can shake the foundation of his painstaking business for many years. He thought that his father was acquiescing to his seizure of power by conniving at him to force the second and third brothers away. But he didn't know his father, and he repeatedly used his means to eliminate dissidents and stabilize his position, which has touched his father's bottom line. ”
Jiang Ling thought of it again when he heard this, but he was a little difficult to accept.
Wei Gongzi looked at Jiang Ling's expression and said with a complicated smile: "Thought of it?" ”
Jiang Ling bit his lower lip and thought about it, and said tentatively: "Could it be that ... This is not the eldest prince inviting you into the game, nor is it the bureau you set up for the eldest prince. ”
Xi Jiu's body shook, his eyes widened and he said, "It's... The head of the Wei family..."
Klute suddenly continued, "It's your father... A game for the two of you! ”
"That's right, he's testing my abilities and strategy." Wei Gongzi's smile was distressing, but he said calmly: "But the main thing is to test the strength of the eldest brother and... Layout. He has deliberately shown his preference and value for me in recent years, in order to stimulate my eldest brother and see if he can hold on. ”
"But what if you are really killed!?" Xi Jiu asked incomprehensibly.
Wei Gongzi's smile was even bigger, but in the bitterness, there was a trace of helplessness and even madness.
He looked at the three players and said, "If my eldest brother can kill me without revealing any rumors and leaving no tricks, I think my father will be happy with his layout." ”
The three players were shocked when they heard this, and they suddenly felt a tingling in their hearts, and they shuddered.
There is such a terrible calculation between father and son and brother!
It was only at this time that they really felt a trace of pity for the young man in front of them.
It turned out that this was not an opportunity for Wei Yeqiu to show his talents, nor was it an opportunity for the eldest prince to eliminate hidden dangers, but an opportunity for the head of the Wei family to see his two sons clearly.
It's not that Wei Yeqiu is gambling with his own life to pull his eldest brother into the water, but the head of the Wei family is betting on his youngest son's life to test his eldest son's strength and layout!
Wei Gongzi shook his head, restrained his expression, closed his eyes and said: "If my eldest brother can really kill me tightly, my father will probably put the responsibility on my third aunt, fourth uncle, chief steward, Lanjiang Prince and others, and cut off some of the eldest brother's wings as a warning, so that my eldest brother can learn to restrain himself, and also take the opportunity to sort out the order within the clan, and take the opportunity to clear the unstable factors." ”
"Then, the position of the head of the house...... Naturally, it is still the eldest son of this concubine. ”
