Chapter 280: You can choose to die
As Ye Jiuchen's words fell, several figures suddenly poured in in the No. 1 room of Tianzi, and the speed was so fast that people didn't have time to react at all.
Several people guarding the door of Tianzi No. 1 room, including those who pointed at Yue Cheng with swords and Jiang Tingbai, all fell to the ground silently in the blink of an eye.
Scarlet blood trickled from their necks, and their bodies twitched weakly on the ground, gasping for breath, but they couldn't do anything to stop the rapid loss of life from their bodies.
One by one, their eyes widened to know how they had died.
But as far as the eye can see, I can only see gray figures, like ghosts, coming without a trace, coming quietly.
Jiang Tingbai had just had a smile and a slowly confident face, but after hearing Ye Jiuchen's two words, he suddenly became gloomy and solemn.
Do it?
Ye Jiuchen had been prepared for a long time, but it turned out that he didn't trust himself at all.
So why did he just ......
Jiang Tingbai quickly popped up a few questions in his mind, but before he could think about these questions clearly, he saw that the people he brought were killed one by one in an instant.
By his side, only one Xingyun is left.
In a flash, he who had previously occupied the dominant position of complete victory, but he was so defeated by someone else's subordinates, and he was still the kind that had no power to fight back.
After all, now in the entire Tianzi No. 1 room, except for Xingyun, they are all Ye Jiuchen's people, as long as he makes a gesture and an action, his life can end here on the spot.
He Jiang Tingbai is not a person who can't afford to lose, it's just that how things came to be like this, why don't he have a clue at all?
Thinking of this, Jiang Tingbai's confident and arrogant face just now had become gloomy and dignified at this moment.
Ye Jiuchen was standing a few steps away, obviously so close, but at this moment, Jiang Tingbai felt extremely far away.
That kind of distance is not in distance, but in the heart and spirit.
It was also the first time in his life that Jiang Tingbai really thought that he had lost.
Ye Jiuchen stood there like a king, looking at the common people.
Scold!
Jiang Tingbai, who recognized the reality, couldn't help laughing.
Regarding Jiang Tingbai's reaction, Ye Jiuchen was also a little surprised.
After all, if you are any person, when you first find that things have changed, you should first be surprised, surprised, then puzzled, unwilling, and finally forced to accept.
Even there are many people who are driven by obsession in their hearts and have already lost themselves, and they can't accept it at the moment they leave this world.
However, Jiang Tingbai was completely different.
His first reaction when he noticed that things had changed was to accept it.
He accepted the fact that followed by other emotions, and then a frank self-deprecation after accepting it.
I have to say that for this point, Ye Jiuchen admires Jiang Tingbai very much.
Jiang Tingbai slowly raised his head.
"Can you answer me a few questions?"
"Look what's the problem."
Jiang Tingbai nodded, Ye Jiuchen said this, it is understandable.
"When you came to Xiliang from Da Zhou, didn't the shadow guard bring it over?"
Ye Jiuchen smiled clearly, knowing that the first person he asked would be this.
"Not at the time."
"When was that? And my spy in Da Zhou clearly said that the shadow guard is still in Da Zhou. ”
"Long before I arrived in Xiliang, and the news that your spies gave you is not fake, Ying Wei, is indeed still in Da Zhou.
But how did I ever say that I only have one shadow guard? ”
Hearing Ye Jiuchen say this, Jiang Ting's white eyes couldn't help but hold on, but in an instant, his eyes became clear.
Oh, yes!
As a member of the royal family, almost every prince and princess has their own secret guard team. Whether it is the emperor or the court, they are all aware of this matter.
But it is true that no one has ever said that a prince and princess can only raise a secret guard.
From this point of view, it turned out that Ye Jiuchen didn't know how early ago he had already placed a secret guard in Xiliang.
This thought, this strategy......
After a pause, Jiang Tingbai raised his eyes again with some unwillingness.
"Second question, do you know I'm going to do it to you today?"
"I don't know."
"Then you ......"
"If I want you to do it, you will, I don't want to, you won't."
Ye Jiuchen's concise words immediately explained Jiang Tingbai's second question clearly.
Jiang Tingbai smiled again.
Oh, yes!
This feeling of being played with in the applause and feeling like something in the palm of your hand is really unpleasant!
"One last question, what are you going to do now? Kill me? ”
Although the question was a matter of life and death, Jiang Tingbai did not have a trace of fear on his face, and it was not an exaggeration to say that the light projected under his eyes at this moment actually contained obvious excitement and snow wheat scarf.
Xingyun knows the temperament of his master, but in this situation, shouldn't he be calm?
"Master!"
Xingyun couldn't help but shout, but Jiang Tingbai raised his hand to stop what Xingyun was about to say next, and looked at Ye Jiuchen.
"If you kill me, I don't care if you become a king or lose.
And it doesn't seem to be a loss to die at your hands.
However, Xingyun is just a subordinate, and his brain is not very good, except for having a heartfelt heart and a peerless martial arts, there is no long thing, and it will not do you any harm.
How about killing me and letting him go? ”
When Jiang Tingbai said the first half of the sentence, Xingyun's face was as black as the bottom of the pot.
He really didn't expect Jiang Tingbai to comment on him like this.
But when he said the second half of the sentence, Xingyun was suddenly moved.
He knew it!
Although the master is usually unreliable and always looks down on him, he still thinks about him at critical moments.
Thinking of this, Xingyun couldn't help but have a grim expression, his eyes condensed, and he said categorically towards Jiang Tingbai: "Master, your subordinates won't go anywhere, if your master dies here today, your subordinates will definitely not live alone." ”
Jiang Tingbai: "......"
Hey, it's been a lot of work.
Seeing this, Ye Jiuchen laughed violently, and the smile was different from before, without any deep meaning, just a simple smile.
Xingyun is all pointed, and he is even more confused.
looked at Ye Jiuchen, who was smiling and happy, and then looked at Jiang Tingbai, who was holding his forehead with one hand and looking loveless, Xingyun couldn't help blinking his eyes twice.
"Master......"
"Okay, don't talk, I want to be quiet."
When the words fell, Ye Jiuchen's laughter had stopped.
"Your master originally wanted to make a big deal out of it through you, and he knew that if he opened his mouth, I would probably agree.
But what he didn't expect was that before I could open my mouth, you blocked his path first. ”
Ye Jiuchen kindly explained, and Xingyun's heart collapsed all of a sudden.
Co-authored, I was just moved in vain?
Jiang Tingbai slightly restrained his expression, raised his chin, and looked at Ye Jiuchen defiantly.
"Want to kill me? Do it, but don't blame me for not reminding you, even if you kill me, your path to the throne and emperor will definitely not be smooth.
After all, I'm just a small fish in front of some predators.
Do it. ”
Jiang Tingbai looked like a broken jar, as if he really didn't have any lingering in this world, and he could die extremely chic.
But in fact, only he knew how nervous he was.
He's betting!
Bet on Jiuchen today, he won't kill himself.
As for the reason for not killing himself, Jiang Tingbai himself felt that it was a bit far-fetched, that is, if he wanted to do it and wanted his own life, he didn't have to wait until today, until now.
But at this moment, there is no room for him to resist, so he can only gamble like this.
Ye Jiuchen had already sat back behind the original table at this time, as if nothing had happened, Gu Zi nested there leisurely, holding the wine jug while waving his hand towards the shadow guard in the room.
The shadow guard received Ye Jiuchen's order, and immediately left quickly, disappearing in front of Ye Jiuchen and Jiang Tingbai, as if he had never been there.
Jiang Tingbai stretched his eyes, trying to suppress the excitement in his heart.
Yourself this is ...... Won the bet?
"Who said I'm going to kill you? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was too worried. ”
Sure enough, Jiang Tingbai was puzzled in his heart, and Ye Jiuchen had already said a tepid sentence and gave an answer.
But as soon as Ye Jiuchen said this, Jiang Tingbai suddenly began to wonder again.
"You ......"
"There is one thing, I think it is necessary for me to remind His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
To be a person and do things, if you want to gamble, you must have the chips to win. For example, in the situation just now, if it were me, I would never gamble, let alone put my life in the hands of others. ”
Ye Jiuchen said as he got up with the two glasses of wine he had just poured, came to Jiang Tingbai, and handed over one of them.
Jiang Ting's white eyebrows frowned, puzzled, and explored, but he still took the wine handed over by Ye Jiuchen.
"Happy alliance."
After that, without waiting for Jiang Tingbai to respond, Ye Jiuchen drank the wine first.
Seeing this, Jiang couldn't help but have a wry smile on his face.
"Looks like I don't have a choice."
For such a statement, Ye Jiuchen naturally disagreed.
Leng Yue taught him that he should not coerce and entic, but to convince people with virtue.
So—
"This pot, you can't carry it in the next place, after all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can still choose to die."
Jiang Tingbai: "......"
I thank you!
Slightly unwilling, Jiang Tingbai drank the wine.
Now, he is really a little afraid that Leng Yue and Ye Jiuchen will come into contact.
Seeing that Jiang Tingbai drank the wine, Ye Jiuchen's goal was also achieved, so naturally there was no reason to continue to stay.
simply turned around directly, and was about to go outside the Tianzi No. 1 room.
Seeing this, Jiang suddenly couldn't hold back and opened his mouth.
"Actually, just now, I didn't really want to do it with you."
With his back to Jiang Tingbai, Ye Jiuchen showed a look of understanding on his face.
"I know." There was a pause: "If you hadn't mentioned Leng Yue, my shadow guard wouldn't have appeared." ”
