Chapter Forty-Nine: The Unfinished Death Match
A common standard long knife and a beautiful long sword were still on the black bricks of the dungeon.
Tang Liu involuntarily glanced at the long knife, he had often paid attention to this knife these days, because the jailers always liked to hang him outside the prison door to show off his might. Lian Shen on the other side glanced at the long sword and turned his head to look at the official outside the door. The long sword was brought by the great official, and the black long dress on the official was embroidered with dark gold edges, and when he first came down the mountain, he had heard that this kind of costume was the emperor's eagle claws.
"Hehe," Guo An looked at the doubts and puzzles in the eyes of the two and said: "I'll give you a chance to live, I will recruit people from the Hanging Mirror Division, and if any of the two of you can come out of this cell alive, I will be able to suppress the evidence of the crime for whoever I can, and give him a chance to make meritorious contributions." ”
"But...... I only give this opportunity to one person. ”
As soon as the words fell, Lian Shen on the side was still in doubt, and Tang Liu, who was on the other side of the cell, had already jumped at the long knife on the ground......
A few months later, in a quiet courtyard, Lian Shen looked solemnly at Tang Liu, who was dressed as a small servant in front of him.
"Don't worry," Tang Liu didn't think much of Lian Shen's great enemy, and said as if he didn't care: "I won't tell the secret, you Lian Shen is already a dead man in me." ”
"Tang Liu, why?" Lian Shen didn't seem to appreciate it and asked, "Why did you stop Miss Xiang'er from saving Miss Qin'er just now, you obviously also saw that the dog officer wanted to rape Miss Qin'er!" Why do you want to do evil, you ..... yourself"
"Enough!" Tang Liu scolded: "Lian Shen, Lian Shen, I thought that your brain would become smarter after escaping death, but I didn't expect that your elm lump was hammered thousands of times, and he was just a piece of wood." ”
The lights in the original place shone on the fence, and swayed on Lian Shen through the barrier of the roof, which made him unable to see what kind of expression Tang Liu was in the dark: "Answer me, Tang Liu." For the sake of so-called glory and wealth, do you want to become the person you hated the most? ”
......
A brief silence enveloped the two of them, only mutual wariness and distant commotion reminded them of the passage of time.
"What about you?" After a while, a slightly hoarse voice sounded: "Do you think you are a good person yourself?" Do you think that if you stop Han Qiyun's old pervert from going upstairs to Yuqin, you are accumulating virtue and doing good? Do you know who Lou Yuqin is in your mouth? ”
"I know, Miss Qin'er is from Loufu......"
"No, you don't know!" Tang Liu rudely interrupted Lian Shen: "She is a remnant of the Loufu, but she herself is innocent, I am saving people." That's what you think, right? ”
"What, I can't figure it out?" Tang Liu looked at Lian Shen, who was frowning, and laughed: "Lian Shen, your thoughts are still the same as at the beginning, and you are still the hairy boy who doesn't understand anything." Obviously, you have gone to the ghost gate to close a trick, but you still haven't lived to understand. Just like when you go to the Xu Mansion, you think that you are doing things for His Majesty the Emperor and eliminating harm for the people, but after you go in by yourself, you don't need me to say more about what you see, why didn't you leak the news of the Xu Mansion? It's because you find yourself seeing something different from what you've heard before, right? ”
"Why, look at your expression and seem surprised? Don't make such a fuss, although you will die sooner or later, if you really spread the news of the Xu Mansion, the secret will say that you were killed by the Xu Mansion, instead of saying that you are a traitor now. ”
"As for you now, who are you doing? Oh don't worry, I'm not trying to inquire about you, I'm not interested in the people behind you. But ah, Lian Shen, the big guys don't think the same way as us, the big guys don't care about us little people, even if it's our lives, they can put it on the chessboard at any time. ”
"Do you think that you went to the Xu Mansion to do things for the emperor and eliminate harm for the people, but what is the result? You think you're saving Lou Yuqin today, but do you know? In the eyes of the big guys, Lou Yuqin will always be just a chess piece, they let you save people, but they just need this chess piece. You think I'm hurting her, but have you thought about it, as long as she enters the Han Mansion, she can escape from a place like Xuanlanfang, not to mention, and even have the opportunity to climb up, to control the lives of others instead of being controlled by others. ”
"Last time, you bought someone's life for no reason, this time, how does the person behind you want to use Lou Yuqin, have you really figured it out again? My Lian Shaoxia! ”
In Tang Liu's questioning, Lian Shen found that he had no answer.
A few days later, another quiet courtyard.
In the middle of the night, the chill of late autumn envelops everyone, and there is only a death-like silence in the bottomless darkness.
In front, Brother Lin was held hostage, behind him was Tang Liu, who betrayed him, and two other people from the dark place came out of the night and blocked the retreat behind the door.
"I didn't expect that after being poisoned by me, you would still be alive." Guo An broke the silence, he paced to the stone table, and poured himself a glass of warm wine: "But you still fell into my hands today." ”
"Guo An, if you want to kill, you will come to me alone, and it has nothing to do with others." Lian Shen frowned and looked at the cold knife on Li Dongsheng's shoulder.
"When I first met the two of you, I thought you were promising. Although you were born lowly, you can judge the situation and make decisions on the spot, but it's a pity that you are not as good as Lian Shen and lost. Guo An didn't care about Lian Shen, and said to himself: "I originally wanted to keep you, but you lost." However, the official saw that your kid had a future, so he made an exception to leave you. The two of you can only live one, so Lian Shen was sent to Xu Mansion by me to die, but you were sent to Xuanlanfang by me. ”
Speaking of this, Lian Shen knew that Guo An was talking to Tang Liu behind him, and turned to look at Tang Liu, who had an ugly face, in disbelief.
"I can see that you kid has a grudge against me. So I let your small actions in Hanging Lan Fang go unchecked, and deliberately went over to beat you, but your kid was really fooled. There is an ambition not to admit defeat and a self-righteous brain that thinks it has insight, but it wants to fly before it can learn to run. Guo An looked at Lian Shen, and said mockingly: "How much credit do you think a Lian Shen has?" Do you think the head of the Hanging Lan Fang will go against me for the sake of a Lian Shen? You probably thought that I would suppress you after I found Lian Shen. That's right, I'm all my henchmen tonight, and no outsiders will know about Lian Shen's death twice, even if you tell me, I won't add a credit to your credit book afterwards. But what you can't imagine is, if you don't tell me, who do you think you can tell? But a little Lian Shen, who really cares except me? ”
"Do you think that with a little bit of small profit, you can pry into the relationship I have had over the years?"
"So, are you going to kill me today?" Tang Liu gritted his teeth and said.
"No," however, Guo An shook his head and said, "Lian Shen will definitely die today, but you," as he said, Guo An ejected the long sword in his hand, and the bright long sword was suddenly inserted in front of Lian Shen, "You yourself have a chance to live, as long as you kill Lian Shen, I will not blame the past, and give you a chance to continue to work for me." And you Lian Shen," Guo An turned his gaze to Lian Shen again, "You have been poisoned by me, and you will definitely die." I am afraid it took a lot of effort to save you......"
Perhaps at Guo An's suggestion, Li Dongsheng felt the blade on his neck pressing over, and he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Stop!" Seeing this, Lian Shen was anxious and shouted: "Guo An, will you also attack ordinary people?" ”
"Ordinary people? Hmph," Guo An sneered: "The one who shielded you, a repeat offender in the court, is not an ordinary person. ”
"But you don't have to worry," looking at Lian Shen, who was anxious, Guo An's words changed again: "I will also give you a chance today, have you seen the sword in front of you?" Pick it up, as long as you can kill Tang Liu, and then tie your hands and arrest him, I will be merciful, let this go, and shield the prisoner of Qin. ”
"As I said before, only one of you can live. Of course, there is one more ...... today Of the three people today, only one will live to see the sun tomorrow. ”。
"Come on, Lian Shen, Tang Liu, last time I was in prison and had fun. This time, let the official see if you have any improvements. ”
As soon as Guo An's words fell, Lian Shen stepped forward and grabbed the long sword, and then he used his internal force, and at the same time pulled out the long sword violently, he took advantage of the momentum to block back, only to hear a crisp bright echo in the night, Lian Shen stopped Tang Liu's sword and slashed down.
