Khan, I'm sorry, I didn't know anyone was waiting for an update, there is no ...... today Let's try to save a few more words tomorrow.

———————————————————— this is the old dividing line————————————————

Xie Yu didn't raise his head as he asked, but every word Mei Changsu said pierced into his heart like a stinger. Even if he was really stupid, he knew that what this Jiang Zuomeilang said was true, not to mention that he was not stupid at all.

But if you don't rely on Xia Jiang, is there any other choice? Not at all. The last straw, no matter how illusory it is, can only be firmly grasped, and there is no room for calculation.

Xie Yu himself knew very well that even if he was out of the prison in the future, he would never betray Xia Jiang again, because there was no benefit in doing so. Xia Jiang can save his life, he can take care of him, and it can even become an opportunity for him to make a comeback in the future, he will definitely keep it a secret for Xia Jiang to the end, as long as this hanging mirror is willing to believe him......

"Who knows what will happen in the future?" Mei Changsu seemed to see through what he was thinking, and said coldly, "It's like more than half a month ago, you couldn't have imagined that you would fall into such a situation now, right?" Judging from the current situation alone, as long as Xia Jiang saves you, you really don't have any reason to betray him, but everything in the world is always ever-changing, instead of believing in you, it is better to believe in a dead person, so that it is cleaner and neater, and more like the style of a hanging mirror in charge, right? ”

Xie Yu finally raised his head and met Mei Changsu's gaze, still with his own insistence on his face: "You are right, it is indeed possible for Xia Jiang to kill me after I get out of the prison, but that is only possible." I can only bet on this last game now, if I don't believe him, can't I believe you? ”

"Why can't you trust me?" Mei Changsu smiled slightly.

"Believe you? What is Mr. Su kidding? I owe most of my day to you, and I believe that you might as well kill yourself sooner. ”

"You're wrong." Mei Changsu's words are like ice, "You are all to blame for today, and you have no grievances." But the reason why I asked you to believe me is naturally not for fun. ”

Xie Yu's gaze twitched quickly, but he didn't answer.

Mei Changsu pursed the lines of his lips and said slowly and clearly: "Because Xia Jiang has a reason to want you to die, but I am not." ”

"You don't want me to die?" Xie Yu looked up to the sky and laughed, "You don't want me to die too slowly, do you?" ”

"I have already said it just now," Mei Changsu didn't mind, still said quietly, "Even if you get out of the prison, you are only an exile, what difference does it make to me whether you are dead or alive?" I dealt with you only because the power you held in your hands was a hindrance to His Royal Highness King Yu, and now that you are completely defeated, it doesn't matter if you want your life or not. ”

Xie Yuhu looked at him suspiciously: "Since I only have one life left that you are not interested in, then why don't you let me fend for myself, and why do you spend so much energy in this dark prison?" ”

"Good question," Mei Changsu nodded slowly, "I'm really not interested in your life at all, I'm interested...... It's just Xia Jiang......"

Xie Yu Huoran turned around: "Su Zhe, you really dare to say it." Now Xia Jiang is my last glimmer of hope, you actually expect to use me to deal with him, aren't you crazy? ”

"What's wrong with taking advantage of you?" Mei Changsu glanced at him, "Master Xie is in such a situation, and he can still have some place that can be used, he should be happy." If it's really useless, the end of the road will be reached. ”

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Mr. Su." Xie Yu gritted his teeth, "I still have to bet on Xia Jiang, bet that he believes that I will never betray him, this is my only way to survive." ”

Mei Changsu tilted his head to look at him, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, obviously he was elegant and weak, but it made people feel cold for no reason: "I'm really sorry, I have blocked this way for Master Hou." ”

Xie Yu knew that he shouldn't be teased and asked, but he couldn't help but blurt out: "What do you mean?" ”

"Thirteen years ago, you sent someone to kill a nameless teacher Li Zhongzhong, this person was killed for Xia Jiang, right?"

Xie Yu's heart was shocked, and he forced a smile: "What nonsense are you talking about? ”

"Maybe I'm talking nonsense," Mei Changsu said in a relaxed tone, "I'm just betting and guessing." However, King Yu has already gone to ask Xia Jiang and asked him why he instructed you to kill an insignificant scholar, of course, Xia Jiang will definitely deny it, but after he denies it, he will inevitably think in his heart, how did King Yu know that Li Zhongzhong was what he wanted to kill, think about it, unless it is what you said from Marquis Xie, ......"

"I didn't say it!"

"I know you didn't say it, but Xia Jiang doesn't know." Mei Changsu smiled slightly, and spread his hands, "Looking at your reaction, Master Hou, I actually guessed right." So I'm sorry, you've already betrayed Xia Jiang once, even if he still believes that you didn't leak it intentionally, but at least it proves that your mouth is not as solid as a dead man, and there are many ways to dig it up little by little. Of course, in order to keep a deeper secret, he will still save you, but after saving you, in order to be able to do it once and for all, he has to be a smart person as I call it...... Master Xiahou, you will definitely lose when you bet on Xia Jiang, because your bargaining chips are only his trust in you, and now this trust has long been gone......"

"You...... You ......" Xie Yu's teeth were gritted, his whole body trembled violently, his eyes were spewing fire, and he was about to pounce on Mei Changsu, and there was a flying stream next to him who was looking at the straw and playing, so he could only gasp and say angrily, "Su Zhe, why do I have a grudge against you, you want to force me to such a point?" ”

"What's the complaint...... He Qiu ......" Mei Changsu muttered and repeated, laughing loudly, "Master Xie, you and I are for the sake of fame and profit, and each protects its own master." In order to achieve your own goals, why don't you do whatever it takes, don't you think it's ridiculous to ask me such a thing today? ”

Xie Yu sat down in the straw, his face pale, and his heart was full of despair. Mei Changsu in front of him was like a cat playing with mice, but with a slight flick of his paws, people were powerless to parry.

Such a powerful person, regretting that he shouldn't have let the prince give up on him easily......

"Master Xie, while there is still a chance, hurry up and bet on me. I don't have any handle in your hands, I don't care about keeping you alive," Mei Changsu squatted down in front of him and said softly, "Okay, there's still a glimmer of life here." ”

Xie Yu lowered his head, the sweat all over his body was dry and wet, and it took a long time before he said in a low voice: "What do you want me to do?" ”

"Don't worry, I won't let you come forward to testify against Xia Jiang for anything, and I have no intention of digging up another Xia Jiang case," Mei Changsu let out a soft laugh in his throat, "You and I both know very well that everything Xia Jiang does is in accordance with the holy will, but it is just ...... He used some means that even the emperor didn't know to achieve his goal. Did I guess right? ”

Xie Yu paused with a blank expression and nodded slowly.

"Your Majesty's sacred heart is unpredictable, suspicious and suspicious, those methods that were concealed from him back then, and now Xia Jiang wants to continue to conceal them, but that's it." Mei Changsu said lightly, "In the final analysis, these have little to do with what I am planning now, and I have no intention of asking for trouble." But His Royal Highness King Yu can't help but worry about whether Xia Jiangbao will be for the crown prince, and whether he will break the usual practice of the Hanging Mirror Division over the years to participate in the party struggle, so I have to come over and ask. Master Xie, you can tell me a rough story about Li Zhongzhong, as long as I can confirm that this matter has nothing to do with the current party struggle, I will not make a fuss about it. Because everyone knows that the Hanging Mirror Division is not so active, after all, it often obeys secret orders, and if it is not careful, if it touches His Majesty's sore spot, how can it be good? ”

Xie Yu looked at him deeply: "I'll tell you, what's in it for me?" ”

"I can't give you more, but please let King Yu let go, let Xia Jiang rescue you from prison, and then keep you safe in exile and live as your exile."

Xie Yu closed his eyes, as if he was thinking fiercely in his head. He wasn't worried that after he told Li Zhongzhong's secret, King Yu would make a mess with it. Because of the matter behind this secret, King Yu himself is also one of the recipients of interests, but he was not mature enough back then and did not participate more deeply. As long as Mei Changsu goes back to tell him, he will immediately understand in his heart, and he will definitely not embarrass Xia Jiang with this. And what Xia Jiang guarded against was just that he didn't want the whole thing to be spread, or some of the details he had concealed were known to the emperor.

However, if he speaks, will this Jiang Zuo Meilang really fulfill his promise?

"This is a gamble," Mei Changsu said lightly as if he knew what he was thinking again, "You have nowhere else to bet." I'm from the rivers and lakes, I know how to keep you alive, and you have no choice but to trust my promises. ”

Xie Yu seemed to have been completely crushed, and his whole body leaned forward weakly, barely sitting on the ground with two hands. After a long silence of about a stick of incense, he finally opened his chapped lips.

Li Zhongzhong...... It is true that he is only a teacher, but he has a strange talent, that is, he can imitate any word he has read, without flaws, and no one can distinguish the authenticity from the false. Thirteen years ago...... He wrote a letter for Xia Jiang, and the fake one was Nie Feng's handwriting......"

"Who is Nie Feng?" Mei Changsu asked intentionally.

"He was the forward general of the Red Flame Army at that time, and he was also Xia Dong's husband, so Xia Jiang had many opportunities to get the draft of the book he wrote, cut out some needed words from it and showed it to Li Zhongzhong, so that he could write a letter that was seamless and couldn't even be separated from Xia Dong......"

"What is written in the letter?"

"It's a letter for help, it says, 'The boss has the heart of rebellion, I will investigate, in order to extinguish the mouth, drive me to death, hope to save me.'" ”

"I seem to know this thing, and it turns out that the letter is false." Mei Changsu sneered, "So...... You traveled thousands of miles to save Nie Feng, and in the end, because you were late, you could only bring back his bones, which is also fake? ”

Xie Yu was silent.

"According to the legendary story I heard, it was General Xie that you traveled a long distance to save your colleagues, and arrived in the Valley of Absolute Souls, where Nie Feng was located, but there were reports that there were no friendly soldiers in the valley, and only the enemy barbarians were about to rush out, so you made a quick decision, cut down trees and set fire to seal the valley mouth, which stopped the momentum of the barbarians and protected the left flank defense line of my Daliang. It's a story that awe-inspires those who hear it. Mei Changsu sneered, "Thinking about it today, what you sealed was actually Nie Feng's retreat, so that this forward general, who was not in the place of death, fell to death because of you, causing the final tragedy." Am I right? ”

Xie Yu's lips pursed into a straight line, still not answering his words.

"Forget it, these are all things from the past, and it's useless to check them." Mei Changsu stared at him and said coldly, "What's next?" ”

"At that time, only Xia Jiang and I knew that the letter was fake, he had his purpose, I had mine, we didn't say anything, just tacitly. Because he didn't want his apprentices to notice anything unusual, he didn't use the power of the Hanging Mirror Division, but only hinted at me, and I killed Li Zhongzhong's whole family for him. Xie Yu's words were flat and unwavering, and he didn't seem to be ashamed of this matter, "The whole thing is like this." It has nothing to do with the current party struggle, are you satisfied? ”

"It turns out that this is how the foundation of the imperial court pillar was laid." Mei Changsu nodded, his hands hidden in his sleeves were tightly clenched, and his face was still calm. What Xie Yu said, of course, is only the tip of the iceberg in the hidden things of the year, but it is useless to force too much, this short period of dialogue, can achieve the purpose of coming here today, and the road after that, we still have to be slow and careful, step by step and go steadily.

As for Xie Yu's fate, others are worried about it. In fact, sometimes death is not necessarily the most terrible ending.

"Rest well. Xia Jiang won't know that I came to see you today, and His Royal Highness King Yu has no interest in the old things. I will keep my promise not to let you die, but if you can't endure the hard labor of exile yourself, I don't care. After Mei Changsu said this last sentence lightly, he didn't look at Xie Yu anymore, turned around and walked out of the cell. Feiliu hurriedly threw down the straw he was braiding and playing with and followed him.

On the way back, when walking towards the stone staircase leading to the first floor above ground, Mei Changsu glanced at the dark room next to Xie Yu, intentionally or unintentionally, but his footsteps did not stop at all, and he soon disappeared at the exit of the stone staircase.

Moments after he left, the door of the black room was silently pushed open, and the two men walked out one after the other, walking very slowly, and with a slight unsteady pace.

The person in front was slender, dressed in black and dressed in black, with two silver threads between her black hair and eye-catching, and there was no trace of blood on her handsome face, which was as white as a piece of paper, just a small stone on the dark corridor, which made her almost fall down, but fortunately she was supported by the person behind her.

The two of them came out of the dark room and didn't say a word, even if it was the support just now, they only pulled it and immediately retracted it, silently. They also walked along the stone stairs that Mei Changsu walked just now, and slowly walked to the first floor, the only difference was that the person waiting outside the door to lead them out was not An Rui, but Cai Quan, who had been officially promoted to the secretary of the Criminal Department.

"I'm sorry to trouble Lord Cai."

"His Royal Highness King Jing doesn't have to be polite."

There are only these two lines of dialogue, and there is no politeness after that. The group came out of the prison from the back door, and Xia Dong ran away quickly without looking back, without moving his lips from beginning to end. Behind her, King Jing silently stared at her lonely and distant back, but there was a scorching flame in his eyes.
