Chapter Thirty-Eight: Let's Take a Gamble

After Chen Ruxing left, Brother Ying said to Wu Ling'er: "Woman, if you don't want Chen Ruxing to die quickly, don't say anything like that in the future!" Think about what your uncle learned in that mercenary training camp! ”

Wu Ling'er was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood Brother Ying's words. People like Chen Ruxing and them, when completing the task, must have no distractions, if there is concern in their hearts, they can't focus, such a state is tantamount to suicide for their killers: "I know, ...... in the future" No more! ”

Seeing Wu Ling'er's depressed appearance, Brother Ying sighed: "Sleep for a while, I'll call you at dinner!" ”

Wu Ling'er shook her head: "What's the matter with you?" Why don't you usually see you so well-behaved? As soon as my senior brother asked today, you answered? Brother Ying's answer to the question just now was so smooth that Wu Ling'er was a little surprised.

Brother Ying was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "I don't know, I guess I think he can control you!" Don't say more, sleep yours! ”

Wu Ling'er responded: "I guess I won't be able to eat anything today, I'll just sleep!" After speaking, she gave a command to Yahuan, and then fell asleep.

Li Chengxun returned to the palace, and immediately someone from the palace came: "Fourth Highness, His Royal Highness the King of Chu invites you to come to his palace for a while." ”

Li Chengxun was stunned for a moment, as if he had thought of something, and nodded: "I know, tell the third brother, I'll go over immediately." ”

"Yes!"

After tidying up a little, Li Chengxun walked towards Li Chengyu's current palace.

Under the leadership of the palace people, Li Chengxun came to the back garden of the palace, where there was a pond, and the weeping willows next to the pond were only bare branches, while the plum blossoms on the side were blooming: "Third brother! ”

"Coming?" Li Chengyu, who was in the small pavilion by the pond, was frying tea unhurriedly: "Come and sit!" ”

Li Chengxun walked into the small pavilion and sat down: "What did the third brother call me for?" ”

"If it's okay, can't we get together for a cup of tea?" Li Chengyu looked at Li Chengxun with a smile: "It seems that I asked Wu Ling'er out at noon to make you very unhappy!" ”

Thinking of Wu Ling'er's appearance of coughing up blood and vomiting blood, Li Chengxun's face turned cold again: "I'm a little tired today, if the third brother is fine, I want to go back and rest." ”

"Hehe, if you have always been like this, I'm afraid you will never get Wu Ling'er." Speaking of this, Li Chengyu said: "All the people, quit thirty zhang away. ”

The guards and servants who were guarding outside the pavilion immediately retreated quietly.

After everyone retreated, Li Chengyu poured a cup of brewed tea with a faint smile and put it in front of Li Chengxun: "I thought that I made it clear enough in the valley that day." But fourth brother, you still think I'm in the dark, don't you? ”

Li Chengxun thought of something, but he didn't dare to say more, so he could only hold the teacup in silence.

Li Chengyu smiled and poured a cup of tea for himself: "Speaking of which, among our three brothers, I should be the first to see her." At that time, she was only eight years old, small, and her voice was soft and glutinous, and she was very nice. is only eight years old, and he looks like people at first sight. What's even more rare is that even if my guards are so rude to her, she still cares about me when I am injured, even when I am hurt by my guards, even when everyone around her is angry and decides not to pay attention to me, she still remembers to tell my guards how to treat me. ”

"You can't imagine that she was eight years old, half-lying in the temple of the mountain, with green hair scattered and reading a book. When I woke up and saw her like that, I just thought that even if she wanted the stars in the sky, I would like to pick them for her. ”

"You can't imagine her coquettish behavior with her brother, and I was thinking that if I could get her to be so intimate with me, it would make me let go of everything I had, and I would do it."

"You can't imagine what it would be like when I saw her coughing in pain because she had eaten the shrimp by mistake, and she couldn't even breathe. I had only one thought at the time, to kill the person who made her so miserable! It doesn't matter who the other party is, whether he is the object of my wooing or not! ”

Listening to Li Chengyu say what he felt in his heart sentence by sentence, Li Chengxun only felt cold all over, he didn't guess wrong, Li Chengyu really knew Wu Ling'er's true identity.

Speaking of this, Li Chengyu smiled bitterly: "You can't imagine how I felt when I learned that the Yun family had an accident!" At that time, I just wanted to destroy the world and bury her. ”

"But...... I hurt her today! Li Chengyu held the cup and said: "The crystal shrimp dumplings of the queen mother are delicious, really delicious!" But...... If she eats it, she might die! ”

This time, Li Chengxun finally knew why Wu Ling'er coughed so badly in the afternoon, when he was in the academy, Wu Ling'er only chewed a few mouthfuls in his mouth and then became like that: "You! ”

"I didn't want her to eat it! I just want her to admit that she's Yun Ling'er. But she would rather eat something more terrible than arsenic to her than admit that she was Yun Ling'er. I have never seen such a stubborn expression before......"

"I don't know how she's been doing in the past few years, but I think, it must be a bad time, right? Otherwise, how could the little girl who would cry when her hand was scratched endure such pain? Speaking of this, Li Chengyu buried his face in his hands in pain: "The result is ...... I hurt her as hard as those who wanted to hurt her. ”

Seeing such a Li Chengyu, Li Chengxun didn't know whether to comfort him or continue to be angry.

After a long while, Li Chengyu controlled his emotions: "You know what? Ling'er told me that when I asked her why she couldn't accept me, I never thought that I had really done anything for her. Now that I think about it, this is indeed the case, I have never known how to take, I have never thought about what to give to anyone, even for you, I think more or less, I also want to win over your forces, and I can confront Chengtai in the future. ”

"Third Brother ......"

"But even so, I don't want to give up!" Speaking of this, Li Chengyu's expression returned to the same as before, and he could no longer see a trace of pain: "Chengxun, why don't we take a gamble!" ”

"Bet on what?"

Li Chengyu drank the tea in the cup with a faint smile: "If you win, I won't tell anyone Ling'er's true identity, and I will help you hide her true identity." ”

“…… What if you lose? ”

Li Chengyu's face sank: "Then it proves that you are not qualified to stay by her side and protect her, you ...... must quit, and she must follow me back to Nanchu. ”

Li Chengxun stood up suddenly: "I refuse!" Thinking that there was something wrong with his behavior, Li Chengxun sighed and sat down again: "No one can control Ling'er's fate, I said that day, I will never do anything to make her unhappy." If she doesn't love me, I definitely won't force her. I will never use her fate as a bargaining chip to bet on you with the third brother. ”

Seeing Li Chengxun's appearance, Li Chengyu's face sank: "You don't have a choice!" If you refuse, I can go to my father and queen mother now and tell Ling'er's true identity. What do you think will happen to Ling'er then? Maybe the governor of Chang'an and the general of the great hussars will also be implicated in this, right? Do you think this is what Ling'er wants to see? ”

Li Chengxun looked at Li Chengyu with disbelief: "Third brother, you! ”

Li Chengyu looked at Li Chengxun coldly: "Since you have chosen Chengtai and chosen to join this Game of Thrones, then, as your brother, it is necessary for me to teach you another lesson now." This game, in addition to the competition of strength and intelligence, there is more, it is a competition of who is more despicable! Shameless! After speaking, he refilled a cup of tea for himself: "Okay, I don't have much effort to talk to you, I think, Chengtai They have received the news that you came to me, and he is about to come over, what is your decision?" ”

After taking a deep breath, Li Chengxun's eyes became cold: "Bet on what?" ”

Knowing that Li Chengxun had succumbed, Li Chengyu raised the corners of his mouth lightly: "Don't say that the third brother won't give you a chance, we will compete three times, and then the three of us, one person will draw lots for three games, the venue will be arranged by me, and the time will be set by me." At this point, he looked at the entrance of the garden: "He is coming quickly!" ”

Li Chengxun turned his head to look at the entrance of the garden, and just saw Li Chengtai rushing here.

Li Chengyu put down the teacup in his hand: "It seems that he is really a baby of your younger brother!" After speaking, he had already greeted him with a smile: "Big brother! ”
