428. Changes in the parties
Ye Chu's body trembled even more at this time, and his face was bruised with anger. He didn't expect his brother-in-law to betray him, and the more he was afraid of something, the more his brother-in-law would say. The murderous intent churned in his heart, but he still forced himself to press it down and continued to listen. After all, his own brother has not yet expressed his position.
"This ......" Ye Xia in the room was obviously hesitant.
"He's my big brother!"
"Either your eldest brother dies alone, or everyone dies together!"
"I ...... Think again......"
Ye Chu gritted his teeth secretly, his face gradually became hideous, and a thought came up irrepressibly:
"If you want me to die, then it is better for you to die first. Not only the younger brother and wife will die, but even those henchmen who know the details will also die! ”
Ye Chu quietly returned to his room, sitting in the dark room, his two eyes were like a pair of wolf eyes in the dark night, releasing a cold light, and a pair of fists gradually clenched.
In Ye Xia's room, Ye Xia lost interest in his wife, took off the hand that was on his wife's chest, turned over and sat up from the bed, and was in a daze there.
Ye Chu got up from his chair and walked out of the dark room. summoned a subordinate who was not a confidant, and commanded in a low voice:
"The prince is a noble man and cannot be disturbed casually. You and your team are guarding me outside the prince's residence. Whoever wants to see the prince for any reason, take him down for me. This is a very important task, as long as you do it well, not only will I reuse you, but the prince will also appreciate you. ”
"Yes!" That subordinate was excited, this is the city lord who has cultivated me as a confidant! Such an important task is entrusted to me, and I am going to develop!
Seeing that subordinate leaving, a sneer appeared on the corner of Ye Chu's mouth. However, then a trace of irritation appeared on his face. Now that the prince lives in the City Lord's Mansion, with the cultivation of the prince in the middle of the Heavenly Immortal, if he has any big moves, he will definitely be discovered by the prince. Therefore, he did not dare to kill his younger brother and henchmen at this time. Otherwise, the prince will definitely suspect and investigate, and the matter will likely be revealed at that time. He didn't dare to take this risk.
Those five henchmen are okay, and their performance is quite normal. Only his younger brother had other ideas. What a mockery! That's my brother, blood is thicker than water, is this kind of thick method?
Rubbing his face with his hands, he regained his composure and walked towards Ye Xia's room.
"Second brother!" Ye Chu stood outside Ye Xia's door and called softly.
Ye Xia, who was sitting on the bed in a daze, was trembling, and the husband and wife glanced at each other, and there was a trace of emptiness in their eyes. Being pushed by his wife, Ye Xia reacted suddenly, and hurriedly shouted while going to the ground:
"Big brother, here."
As soon as the door opened, Ye Xia showed a somewhat unnatural smile, Ye Chu didn't notice it, laughed with his younger brother and walked into the room, said hello to his younger brother's wife, and then the two brothers sat down at the table. Ye Xia's wife also hurriedly made tea for the two of them and sat down gently beside her husband.
Ye Chu picked up the teacup and gently blew the tea leaves floating on it, and the room fell silent. Ye Xia and his wife secretly glanced at each other, becoming more and more empty-hearted.
"Big brother...... So late...... You ......"
"Alas~~" Ye Chu sighed, waved his hand and threw out eight array flags, and set up a soundproof formation, then said in a low voice:
"Brother, you also know that I listened to the rumors of those Highnesses and defected to the Third Highness. I think that at the beginning, the five highnesses came one after another, and they all said that the crown prince and the thirteenth highness were dead, how could I not believe it? If we are the only one in the Ye family, it will be enough. It's a big deal that I abandoned my identity as the city lord and made me loyal to the prince. But I can't! Because I still have a brother, you!
As soon as the crown prince died, we lost our backers. If I don't go into hiding, I will be killed by those highnesses sooner or later. It was impossible for them to look at a person who had lost his background and occupied the resource of Feiyue City. If I go into hiding, my eldest brother will be older, and that's it. However, brother, you are still young and have a future, and I can't delay my brother's future because of my own selfishness. My brother's hopes are pinned on you, and when I go into hiding, I will lose my cultivation resources. Without resources, how can the younger brother have a future?
Therefore, I took refuge in the Third Highness in desperation, for the sake of you, brother, I can bear everything. But...... But...... Didn't think of ...... The crown prince and the thirteenth highness did not die, and returned intact. If the crown prince knows that I have defected to the Third Highness, you and my brother will inevitably die, and the eldest brother is sorry for you...... Woowoo woo ......"
Ye Chu cried so much that he burst into tears, Ye Xia's eyes were red, and his wife was also ashamed.
"Brother......" Ye Chuyi grabbed his brother's hand and said with tears in his eyes: "Now there is only one way, brother, you go and report the eldest brother to the prince!" In this way, maybe the prince will forgive you and may even reuse you. In this way, you will not lack resources for cultivation. That's what counts...... The last thing Big Brother did to you! ”
"Big brother......" Ye Xia's tears flowed out. His wife's eyes flickered, and her heart moved.
Ye Chu quickly glanced at Ye Xia and his wife, saw the flickering in the eyes of his younger siblings, lowered his head slightly, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in the depths of his eyes. When he looked up again, his eyes were full of affection when he looked at his brother and wife:
"Brother, I've made up my mind. Big brother is old, it's worth exchanging my life for your future. It's just that...... Just ......"
"It's just what...... Ye Xia's wife asked with some urgency.
"Luo Hong!" Ye Xia glared at his wife angrily. Ye Chu waved his hand to stop his younger brother and said, "I'm just worried that because you are my younger brother, the prince won't trust you." I have been with the prince for so long and know him very well. He will never let the instability stay with him. It is very likely that after you report my eldest brother and me to the prince, the prince will kill me and you together, and kill all the monks related to me.
Especially the two of you, one is my younger brother and the other is my brother-in-law, even if the two of you behave righteously and do not show the slightest flaw, I am afraid that the prince will not let go of the two of you, which is why the eldest brother has not made up his mind. I'm looking for the two of you today to ask you two if you're willing to take this risk and try your luck. ”
The faces of Ye Xia and his wife turned pale at that time, and every word of Ye Chu was like a hammer hitting the hearts of the two of them. The eldest brother's strong friendship made them ashamed, and the eldest brother's suspicion of the prince was like pouring a bucket of ice water on their heads, making their hearts tremble. I thought to myself, fortunately, I haven't had time to tell the truth, otherwise there is no way to live.
The two of them had discussed selling their eldest brother in exchange for a high position and getting sufficient cultivation resources. However, can betraying his eldest brother really earn the trust of the prince? Both of their hearts trembled with fear, glanced at each other, and looked helplessly at the eldest brother opposite.
"Brother, how do you choose?" Ye Chu still asked with brotherly affection.
"Big brother...... Don't talk about it! I'm not going to betray you, think about any other way? Ye Xia cried.
"Yes, eldest brother, you are the backbone of the Ye family, we all listen to you." Luo Hong also cried and said.
"The backbone of your * mother, two, just now they were planning to denounce me, thinking I didn't know?"
Ye Chu pretended to be silent for a moment and said, "There is still a way......
"What way?" Ye Xia and his wife shook their bodies and looked at their eldest brother with hopeful eyes.
"That is, I don't admit to taking refuge in the Third Highness, as long as there is no one of my own people to report it, no matter how much the Third Highness preaches it, if I don't admit it, the prince may not doubt me. After all, I have been with him for a long time, and he will not easily suspect me, but will think that it is a discord plan of the Third Highness. Moreover, His Royal Highness may not dare to say to his face that I have taken refuge in him, because in this way, he will undoubtedly admit that he is the murderer who ambushed the crown prince. ”
"Seconds!" Ye Xia stroked his palms and praised. However, Luo Hong on the side frowned slightly and said:
"Big brother, in addition to our husband and wife, several of your henchmen also know about this matter. If they accidentally leak out......"
Ye Xia slapped the table when he heard this and said, "Big brother, kill them all!" ”
Ye Chu's face revealed pain and reluctance: "Brother, they are all old brothers who have been with me for a long time, let the eldest brother and I be the killer, how can I bear it, eldest brother!" ”
"Big brother, they are just your subordinates, and I am your own brother. You can find your subordinates again, brother, but I'm the only one! Ye Xia grabbed Ye Chu's hand tightly, and Luo Hong on the side also looked at Ye Chu nervously.
Ye Chu also sighed, and said with pain on his face: "For my younger brother...... All right! ”
"Thank you, big brother!" Ye Xia and his wife breathed a long sigh of relief.
There was silence in the room once more, and the hearts of all three were heavy. After a long time, Ye Xia asked softly:
"Big brother, when will you do it?"
Ye Chu shook his head, and said with a look of embarrassment on his face: "Now that the crown prince and His Royal Highness the Thirteenth are living in the city lord's mansion, where do I dare to do it." If the crown prince finds out that I have killed my henchmen and asks about the general, how can I answer? Besides, there are five henchmen who know about this, and if we can't get rid of one of them at once, and we are so close to the prince, as long as he shouts loudly, we will be dead. ”
"What then?" Ye Xia and his wife panicked.
Ye Chu hesitated for a while, and finally said with a stern face: "Now I can only let the prince's heart be disturbed first, and I can't care about us here." I had a chance to kill my five henchmen before I knew it. ”
"How can I make the prince's heart upset?" Ye Xia looked at his eldest brother and asked urgently.
"Brother, did you see that Yuan Yufei who came back with the prince?"
"See!" Ye Xia and his wife nodded together.
"Judging by the prince's attitude towards her and his diligence in serving her food at the banquet, the prince should have liked this nun in love. As long as we can kill this female cultivator, the prince's heart will definitely be in turmoil, and then it will be our chance. ”
"Good!" Ye Xia patted the case and said: "That Yuan Yufei is just a cultivator in the late stage of the Earth Immortal, and I am in the early stage of the Heavenly Immortal. She'll leave it to me, and I'll find an opportunity to get rid of her. ”
"Good!" Ye Chu also took the case and said: "Our brothers join forces, and their profits are broken." ”
Luo Hong looked at the two brothers in front of her, her heart was very complicated, the eldest brother seemed to think about everything for the sake of the husband and wife, but there was always a trace of uneasiness in her heart.
Night!
The crescent moon hangs high.
In several directions, eighteen immortal boats flew rapidly in the air. In the Xianzhou, the sound of several highnesses breaking teacups was suddenly heard:
"What? Prince he didn't die? ”
"Returned to Flying Moon City with the Thirteenth Brother?"
"Only three people?"
