Chapter 46: Calculations from all sides
Xiao Liu seems to be unconsciously involved in a battle between palace forces, and he wants to kill Zhang Kui in order to protect Luo Yu's safety so that she can live in peace and stability.
But although Zhang Kuang teamed up with Zhang Kui to calculate Shi Song and Meng Liang, Xiao Liu had no grudges against him.
So after listening to Meng Liang's words, Xiao Liu said thoughtfully
"My lord, although I haven't seen that Zhang Kuang, it must not be a wine bag or rice bag, right? Boy, my ability is limited, why do you think I can kill him? and...... I have no grievances with him, so why should I kill him?"
Xiao Liu's question seemed to Meng Liang to have an answer, and he replied without pause after hearing this
"Do you know that there are actually only two elements to things in this world, and these two elements are purpose and ...... You just asked me why I wanted to kill him? Then I can tell you that as long as you can kill Zhang Kuang and let everyone know that you killed him, then I can guarantee that I will recommend you to the current prince! As long as you hug the prince's thigh, then you will be able to enjoy the glory and wealth on the road ahead! And ......"
Speaking of this, Meng Liang showed a mysterious smile on his face, "The little girl you want to protect can also have a better life and security~!"
After Xiao Liu heard this last sentence, his pupils shrank, he never thought that Meng Liang seemed to know everything about him!
He stayed in the Iron Blood Mercenary Group to protect and take care of Luo Yu, and there were many people who knew about this matter, but Meng Liang was able to know, and it was obvious that he had specially sent someone to understand him!
At this moment, Xiao Liu knew that from the moment he came to the City Lord's Mansion, he had fallen into Meng Liang's calculations, and everything was developing according to his script!
Seeing that the other party was eating his own appearance, Xiao Liu felt very uncomfortable, in the final analysis, his experience in dealing with things was still too little, and Mo Wu couldn't help him without any mistakes.
Meng Liang's strength is obvious, if he refuses at this time, Xiao Liu is not sure whether he will turn his face and make a move against him!
After a pause, Xiao Liu finally spoke
"Lord of the City, it seems that I can't agree if I don't agree. But you haven't answered my other question, with my strength, how can I kill Zhang Kuang? I can't even kill that Zhang Kui head-on!"
"Hehehe, since I made this request, of course there is a way for you to kill that Zhang Kuang! He Zhang Kuang can think of using such a thing as Dream Eater Flower to plot against me, don't I have a little means?!"
Meng Liang's face showed a smug look, and as soon as he wiped it on his body, two packets of things wrapped in yellow paper appeared in his palms.
"It's ......"
As soon as Xiao Liu saw the other party's actions, he guessed that these two packs of things might not be simple.
"This is the soft tendon scatter and the antidote! I have spent a lot of effort to get this thing, and I have never been able to find a suitable opportunity to use it! Now I give it to you, you just need to apply the soft tendon to your weapon or fist, and then take the antidote, it will not be effective against you! And the person who fights you is not so lucky....... I'm looking forward to it, what kind of expression will Zhang Kuang have when he finds out that he can't beat a young boy who is not as strong as himself?
After listening to Meng Liang's tricks, Xiao Liu realized that these two city lords and deputy city lords had already been calculating each other, but Zhang Kuang's plan was inadvertently destroyed by him, and now it was Meng Liang's turn to take revenge!
Xiao Liu silently took the soft tendon dispersion and antidote handed over by Meng Liang, and finally asked a question
"City Lord, since you want to deal with Zhang Kuang, why don't you let Shi Song or Li Tie do this?
Indeed, in terms of strength, Shi Song and Li Tie are much stronger than Xiao Liu, so it must be safer for the two of them to kill Zhang Kuang.
After Meng Liang listened to Xiao Liu's question, he replied with a mysterious smile
"How many years have Shi Song and Li Tie been in Yuzhou City, how can I not know about them? How much future do you think people like them can have? If you were replaced, would you have been dormant in this small place for many years? Since I said that I would recommend you to the prince after the matter is completed, of course I will be able to speak! Do you think that the person I recommend is not a manufacturable material, and the prince will value it?"
Meng Liang's series of rhetorical questions answered Xiao Liu's last question.
Shi Song and Li Tie are indeed stronger than him now, but how old are they?
Two thirty or forty-year-old people in the fairyland, four or five times, for the prince is simply dispensable!
But Xiaoliu is different, he is only less than thirteen years old, and his plasticity is much stronger!
The crown prince would be happy to accept a subordinate with potential like him to join his command!
Xiao Liu figured out the doubts in his heart, and left the City Lord's Mansion, all he needed to do now was to incarnate as a killing god and kill Zhang Kuang and Zhang Kui!
Meng Liang's suggestion, after he repeatedly discussed with Mo Wu, decided to accept it, and he went to a high place, and he knew through Mo Wu how big the outside world was, and the small Yuzhou City was just a drop in the ocean.
The Imperial City is the best place for him to improve himself next!
Of course, in the end, this decision was made out of consideration for Luo Yu's safety, with the banner of the prince shrouded, this girl's life can be better!
After Xiao Liu left, Meng Liang sat in his original position and thought about something silently, and suddenly he opened his mouth without raising his head
"Ghost Hand, since you're here, come out and tell me what you think?"
In the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion, he was obviously the only one sitting on the chair, but he seemed to be talking to another person, and people who didn't know would definitely think that he was sick!
However, as soon as his words fell, a slender figure naturally stepped out of the shadow of a pillar in the hall, as if she had been there in the first place.
"City Lord Meng, do you really believe that kid can kill Zhang Kuang?"
This woman in a black bodysuit, although her figure is beautiful, but she covers her face with a black mask, her voice is very ugly, like a hoarse and low ghost in the Nine Shadows, she gives people the feeling that she is like a killer in the dark night, who will kill people at any time!
Meng Liang raised his head, looked at the ghost hand, and smiled
"It doesn't matter to me whether I kill Zhang Kuang or not! The important thing is that I want everyone to know that there is a great contradiction and grudge between Zhang Kuang, Shi Song, and that Xiaoliu! Since there is a feud, then it is only natural for a vendetta to occur! At that time, even if I secretly get rid of Zhang Kuang, the third prince will not be able to do anything to me! Because, someone has already carried this black cauldron for me, do you say yes?"
When the woman named Ghost Hand heard this, the two beautiful eyes that remained outside narrowed before replying
"It turns out that the city lord Meng already has a perfect plan, so there is no need to say more about the ghost hand. Since the prince has sent me here to do business, there is a useful place, Lord Meng might as well greet him, and I will take action depending on the situation. Okay, I still have something to do, so I'm leaving!"
After saying this, the ghost hand didn't care whether Meng Liang still had anything to say, and the whole person disappeared into the shadow of the column again, and then disappeared without a trace, and Meng Liang was the only one left in the hall again.
After the ghost hand left, a murderous intent flashed in Meng Liang's eyes, and he muttered in a voice that only he could hear
"Don't think that if you are a person sent by the prince, I can't do anything with you! I won't give anyone the credit for getting rid of Zhang Kuang! That kid can't do it, and you can't do it with a ghost hand!"
........
After Xiao Liu left the City Lord's Mansion, he began to look for the traces of Shi Song and the others, and before leaving, the two of them hinted that Xiao Liu would go to the grove in the southern suburbs of the city to talk secretly after finishing the matter.
Xiao Liu was now pretending to be looking for a place to live, and after going around seven times, Mo Wu told him that no one was following him, and then he left the city gate and went straight to the agreed place.
Not long after, he saw the code left by Shi Song in the woods, this kind of code was set when they went to the Youquan Forest before, Xiao Liu understood it when he saw it, and it only took a moment to find Shi Song and Li Tie on a big tree.
Seeing that these two figures, who were originally among the best in the iron-blooded mercenary group, have now been reduced to the point where they need to be cautious even when they enter the city, Xiao Liu is also very emotional in his heart.
Shi Song immediately approached when he saw him, and the three of them began to talk secretly on the big tree.
"Little Sixth Brother, I didn't have time to say more before, it's great that you are safe and sound! Now even if the city lord doesn't help us deal with Zhang Kuang and Zhang Kui, I can be a little sure! You can rest assured, after I take back the position of head of the regiment, I will definitely not treat you badly!"
Shi Song's words made Xiao Liu smile, he had been promised a greater benefit from the city lord just now, and now when he heard Shi Song's "benefit", he couldn't control it and almost laughed.
But he immediately retracted his face and replied
"Brother Shi, don't you want to know what the city lord told me?"
Shi Song was stunned when he heard this, and he hesitated a little before he said
"Little Sixth Brother, what the city lord said to you must be very important, so I won't be here. Are you really going to tell us?"
"Brother Shi, if I tell you that City Lord Meng Liang wants me to kill Zhang Kuang, I don't know if you believe it or not?"
Xiao Liu didn't hide it, and directly retold what Meng Liang told him, of course, he chose to hide some content.
"This....... Hehe, Little Sixth Brother, it turns out that you have been taken a fancy by Lord Meng! Alas, you are really old, if you finish this matter, you will definitely be able to soar when you come to the prince's side in the future! But I am too cold, and I said that I want to give you any benefits......
Shi Song listened to Xiao Liu's words, and immediately became embarrassed when he remembered the "benefits" he had promised to give Xiao Liu just now.
For these so-called benefits, Xiao Liu actually doesn't think much of it, and there are only two things he needs to do in front of him, one is to become stronger, and the other is to let Luo Yu live a stable and good life.
These two things now seem to be the quickest way to follow Meng Liang's advice and get rid of Zhang Kuang.
However, after leaving the City Lord's Mansion, what Mo Wulu said made Xiao Liu's optimistic attitude change.
The news that Mo Wu told Xiao Liu was that in that lobby, there was actually another person hidden, but that person was very good at concealment, and even Mo Wu didn't notice her existence at first, and he didn't finally notice it until he passed by the pillar at the entrance of the lobby when he left!
