Chapter 545: Secretly Reporting the News
It was pouring rain outside, and Liu Xie and Lin Yushui entered the room together. It was a bit stuffy in the room, and both of them took off their coats and wore only their underwear.
"It's raining so hard." Lin Yushui walked to the window and looked at the rain curtain outside.
Liu Xie nodded, but he was thinking in his heart that he didn't know how long the rain would take and whether it would affect his itinerary.
"Brother Liu, what's wrong with you?" Lin Yushui noticed Liu Xie's abnormality.
Liu Xie came back to his senses, smiled, and said, "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about something." ”
Lin Yushui looked at Liu Xie, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he didn't ask, but changed the topic.
"Brother Liu, you said before that you lived in a farm when you were a child, and later followed a relative to do business, so what are you doing now?"
Liu Xie's heart tightened, he casually made up a lie before, but he didn't expect Lin Yushui to ask after him. He thought for a moment and said, "I'm ...... now Wandering around. ”
"Wandering around?" Lin Yushui looked at Liu Xie in surprise, "Why?" ”
Liu Xie lowered his head and said softly, "I ......." ”
Lin Yushui was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Liu Xie meant. He walked up to Liu Xie and said, "Brother Liu, everyone has their own difficulties, I understand you." ”
Liu Xie looked at Lin Yushui gratefully, and a trace of tears flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect that in this strange place, he could meet such a person who understood him.
"Thank you, Brother Lin." Liu Xie said.
Lin Yushui smiled and said, "You're welcome." ”
Liu Xie nodded, feeling a trace of warmth in his heart.
He looked at the rain curtain outside the window, and secretly prayed in his heart, hoping that the rain would stop soon, so that he could leave here as soon as possible and go to Youzhou.
Lin Yushui looked at Liu Xie, and he also had some emotion in his heart.
He felt that Liu Xie was a person with a story, and although he didn't say it, Lin Yushui could feel the heaviness and sadness on his body.
"Brother Liu, what are your plans?" Lin Yushui asked.
Liu Xie sighed and said, "I'm going to Youzhou to take refuge...... My uncle. ”
Lin Yushui smiled and didn't say anything more. He knew that Liu Xie was reluctant to talk more about himself, so he didn't ask any more.
The two chatted for a while, and the rain gradually stopped. Lin Yushui walked to the window, opened the window, and a breath of fresh air came to his face.
"The rain has stopped." Lin Yushui said.
After a while, after Liu Xie fell asleep, Lin Yushui sat quietly on the side, staring at his face.
Suddenly, he sensed that something was wrong with Liu Xie.
He found that Liu Xie seemed to be hiding something. His body tensed, and his breathing became rapid.
Lin Yushui began to suspect Liu Xie's identity, he remembered Liu Xie's previous behavior of having to inquire about the rebels, and he said that he had not lived in a farmhouse, which made Lin Yushui even more suspicious that he was lying.
"Who the hell is he?" Lin Yushui thought to himself in his heart.
He began to recall every detail of his time with Liu Xie, trying to find some clues.
Lin Yushui felt that he seemed to be hiding something important. He began to doubt Liu Xie's true identity, maybe he was not an ordinary person.
Lin Yushui thought to himself in his heart, and he made a bold guess. His heart was beating faster, as if it was about to jump out of his chest.
"Could it be that this person is the emperor?" Lin Yushui couldn't help muttering to himself. His mind raced.
The emperor happened to be out, and Liu Xie's speech and demeanor, as well as his attention to the news of the rebels, made Lin Yushui have such suspicions.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was very likely, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. If Liu Xie is really the emperor, then he must be more careful and not let him discover his suspicions.
Lin Yushui took a deep breath and tried to calm himself.
Then, Lin Yushui's mind had already brewed an idea. He immediately laughed, and when he saw that the rain had completely stopped outside, he quietly left his uncle's house.
Lin Yushui hurried through the mountains and forests, his heart beating fast, but his determination was even stronger. He knew that he had to find Liu Song and tell him what he had found.
Finally, Lin Yu came to a secret cave.
He cautiously walked into the cave and saw Liu Song sleeping. He gently woke up Liu Song.
After Liu Song was woken up, he rubbed his eyes a little unhappily. When he saw that it was Lin Yushui, his expression suddenly calmed down.
"Lin Yushui, why are you here?" Liu Song asked softly.
"Liu Song, I have something important to tell you." Lin Yushui lowered his voice and said mysteriously.
"What's so urgent?" Liu Song sat up and looked at Lin Yushui.
"Today I am staying at my uncle's house, there is a guest there, and I suspect that he is Liu Xie." Lin Yushui said.
Liu Song's eyes widened and he looked at Lin Yushui in surprise.
"What do you say? Are you sure? Why do you have such suspicions? Liu Song asked.
Lin Yushui told Liu Song about his observations and speculations about Liu Xie.
He described Liu Xie's mannerisms, his attention to news of the rebels, and his subtle interactions with Lin Yushui.
Liu Song listened to Lin Yushui's narration quietly, and his face gradually became serious.
Liu Song was ecstatic in his heart, if what Lin Yushui said was true, then he could kill Liu Xie today.
After that, he saw that there were many familiar brothers around him.
These are all their own brothers, following their birth and death.
Liu Xie must be killed, become the emperor, and let these brothers get an official position.
He suppressed the excitement in his heart and said to Lin Yushui, "Are you sure he is still there now?" ”
Lin Yushui nodded and said softly, "I'm sure, he's there now." It is impossible to sneak out at night. ”
Liu Song was so excited that he almost jumped up, but he still restrained his emotions and said, "Okay, then you quickly lead the way, and we will go over." ”
Lin Yushui nodded and quietly walked out of the cave with Liu Song.
It was very quiet outside, save for the footsteps and breathing of the two of them.
Liu Song followed closely behind Lin Yushui, holding the hilt of the sword tightly in his hand, ready to strike at any time.
He secretly thought to himself: "This time we must succeed, and we can't let Liu Xie escape again." ”
Finally, they came to the old man's house.
Lin Yushui pointed to the room and said softly, "He's inside." ”
Liu Song nodded, motioned for Lin Yushui to wait at the door, and walked in quietly.
Liu Song cautiously looked towards the bed.
Liu Song looked at it, and sure enough, it was Liu Xie.
He was ecstatic in his heart, drew his sword, and quietly walked towards Liu Xie.
Suddenly, Liu Xie had a nightmare.
He dreamed that he was being chased by a group of people, that he had nowhere to run, and that he was finally killed by them.
He woke up and found himself covered in sweat.
He sat up, gasping for air, trying to calm himself.
At this moment, he saw Liu Song standing in front of his bed, looking at him with a strange look.
He thought he was hallucinating, but when he looked closely, it turned out to be so.
Liu Xie was startled and hurriedly shouted for help.
There was another person at the door, it was Lin Yushui.
Lin Yushui looked at him with a sarcastic gaze and said, "You don't have to shout. No one will come to your rescue. ”
Only then did Liu Xie understand that it was Lin Yushui who guessed his identity and told Liu Song.
A surge of anger and despair surged in his heart, and he scolded Lin Yushui angrily.
"Lin Yushui, what the hell is going on"?
Lin Yushui said disappreciatively: "Don't blame me. I did it to get rich. And I've guessed your identity too. My Imperial Majesty, am I right? ”
Liu Song said to Liu Xie: "For the sake of our family, you are allowed to say your last words before you die." ”
Liu Xie said: "Aren't you afraid of an uneasy conscience? ”
Liu Song said: "Conscience? Haha, how much is conscience worth? What is conscience in the face of power and wealth? ”
Liu Xie said: "You are doing the opposite. ”
Liu Song said: "You don't have to talk nonsense anymore. You now have two paths to follow. One is to obediently go back with me and be my prisoner. One is to resist and be killed by me. Which one do you choose? ”
Liu Xie said: "I would rather die than give in. ”
Liu Song said: "Okay. Then I will fulfill you. ”
Liu Song pulled out the saber at his waist and stabbed at Liu Xie. Liu Xie closed his eyes and waited for death to come.
When Liu Song saw that he was about to succeed, he suddenly screamed.
His body instinctively wanted to dodge, but it was too late.
A sharp dagger suddenly reached out from under the bed and stabbed him in the thigh.
The moment the blade pierced into the flesh, a sharp pain hit him, and he couldn't help but gasp.
Liu Song tried to fight back, his hand quickly reaching for the weapon beside him, but the figure was faster than him.
The old man rolled out from under the bed at an astonishing speed, like a lurking cheetah, and instantly pounced on Liu Song.
His movements were vigorous and swift, and he did not give Liu Song any chance to resist.
The old man's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he held another dagger in his hand, ready to give Liu Song a fatal blow. Liu Song struggled desperately, trying to get out of the old man's control, but the old man's strength and skill far surpassed him.
At this critical moment, Liu Song realized that he was in a desperate situation, and he had to find a way to escape, otherwise his life would be seriously threatened.
The old man was agile and quickly pressed Liu Song to the ground. His movements were clean and neat, and he didn't give Liu Song any chance to resist.
Liu Song struggled to escape, but the old man's strength far surpassed him, making him unable to move.
Lin Yushui didn't expect the old man to wait under the bed at all, and was stunned for a moment.
His eyes widened and his mouth was open, unable to believe what was happening in front of him.
He originally thought that his uncle was just an ordinary old man, but he didn't expect him to have such amazing skills and hidden malice.
Lin Yushui's heart beat faster, and his voice trembled and asked, "Uncle, why are you doing this?" ”
His eyes were full of confusion and fear, and he couldn't understand his uncle's motives and purpose.
The old man glared at Lin Yushui, his eyes were cold and firm. He didn't answer Lin Yushui's question immediately, but remained silent.
His expression made it impossible to guess his thoughts, as if he had his own plans and considerations.
In this tense atmosphere, time seems to freeze.
And Liu Xie was also stunned by this scene, he didn't expect to be able to survive in a desperate situation.
I didn't expect that this old man actually had such a strong strength, and at this moment, the old man was like a Mount Tai.
"You dare to kill the emperor, so you must die."
After saying this, the old man immediately stabbed the dagger into Liu Song's heart.
Liu Song died immediately, and as for his rebels, they had become a plate of scattered sand, so the old man was no longer afraid.
At this time, the old man stood up, and then came to Lin Yushui.
Lin Yushui didn't seem to have reacted yet, and the old man had already slapped him.
The old man angrily blamed his nephew Lin Yushui, his voice full of disappointment and sadness.
The old man said: "Lin Yushui, you guy who has lost his conscience! How can you betray the emperor's information in order to get benefits? Don't you know how much danger this will bring to the emperor? Don't you know how much it will cost you to do so? ”
Lin Yushui lowered his head, not daring to meet the old man's gaze.
His face was pale and trembling.
He said, "Uncle, I'm ...... I didn't mean to. I was just confused, blinded by money. I really regret it. ”
The old man said, "You didn't mean to? Do you think you can shirk responsibility by saying this? Do you think you can forgive yourself by saying this? You've let me down so much. You hurt me so much. ”
As he spoke, the old man burst into tears.
He said, "How can I have such a nephew? How could I have such a nephew? ”
When Liu Xie saw this scene, he was also a little unbearable.
But he thought that the old man had saved his life, and he felt that he couldn't be too Lin Yushui.
Liu Xie said: "Forget it, uncle." He was also confused for a while, blinded by money. He already knows he's wrong, so let him go. ”
The old man said, "Your Majesty, you are so forgiving. You are so merciful. Such a person deserves your forgiveness. ”
Liu Xie said: "Uncle, don't say it again. He is, after all, your nephew and my subject. I don't want to see him punished too severely. ”
The old man had no choice but to sigh and say, "Okay, Your Majesty, since you have said so, the grass people have nothing to say." ”
Lin Yushui glanced at Liu Xie gratefully and said, "Your Majesty, thank you for your tolerance. Thank you for your great kindness. The grass people will definitely repay you. ”
Liu Xie said: "You don't have to repay me. You just have to remember the lesson and don't do anything like this again. ”
Lin Yushui said: "Yes, Your Majesty." The grass people will definitely remember the lesson of this time and will not do such a thing again in the future. ”
Liu Xie said: "Okay, you get up." ”
Lin Yushui said: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”
Lin Yushui stood up, looking a little at a loss.
Liu Xie said: "You go." I won't talk to you more. ”
The implication is that Lin Yushui is not allowed to stay here tonight.
Lin Yushui said: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”
Lin Yushui saluted Liu Xie and turned to leave.
The old man once again apologized to Liu Xie on behalf of Lin Yushui.
The old man looked at Liu Xie, his eyes full of love and relief. He said, "But Your Majesty, it's good that you're okay." ”
Liu Xie hurriedly got out of bed and thanked the old man. He said, "Uncle, thank you for saving me. If it weren't for you, I'd be done today. ”
Liu Xie immediately bowed.
The old man hurriedly knelt down and said, "I can't help it, I can't help it, my lord, how can you bow to the grass people?" Isn't this a torment to the grass people? ”
Liu Xie said: "Uncle, don't say that. You are my savior, and I bow to you as I should. ”
The old man said, "Your Majesty, you are so polite. The grass people are just ordinary people, how can they afford your bowing? ”
The old man also said it, and he found that Lin Yushui was sneaky.
It happened that he saw Lin Yushui go out, but Lin Yushui didn't find himself, he felt that there was a problem here.
Liu Xie said: "Uncle, I have another question for you. How did you know who I am? ”
The old man said that when he rescued Liu Xie to the bed, the unconscious Liu Xie said nonsense and said some things in the palace, and the old man was taken aback, so he judged that Liu Xie was the emperor.
"So there was such a thing."
Liu Xie suddenly smiled bitterly, but this matter is good, if it weren't for his exposed identity, this old man wouldn't have saved himself.
"Okay, Your Majesty, Liu Song is dead, you can go back to the palace."
Liu Xie said: "Uncle, I won't go back to the palace. ”
The old man was taken aback and said, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?" If you don't go back to the palace, where are you going? ”
Liu Xie said: "I want to go to Youzhou. ”
The old man said, "Youzhou? Why should you go to Youzhou? I don't know if the grass people can ask. ”
Liu Xie said: "Because I'm going to find Xi Yu." ”
The old man nodded.
Liu Xie said: "He can protect me. ”
The old man said, "Your Majesty, do you feel unsafe in the palace?" ”
Liu Xie nodded and said, "Yes." I feel that in the palace, I am always under threat. I don't know who my enemies are and who my friends are. There is no way to trust anyone. ”
The old man said, "Your Majesty, are you too impulsive to do this?" ”
Liu Xie said: "I don't think so. I felt like this was the only way out. I'm going to get out of that dangerous place. ”
The old man said, "Your Majesty, you should rest early." I have to go tomorrow. ”
Liu Xie said: "Okay, uncle, you can rest early." ”
The old man nodded, and turned to leave.
Liu Xie looked at the back of the old man leaving, and felt some emotion in his heart.
He knew that the old man was for his good, but he also had his own ideas. He didn't want to go back to the palace that made him feel depressed and frightened.
But then he couldn't sleep a little, for fear that he would have nightmares again.
I'm afraid that there will be another bad guy.
And Liu Song's body is still lying on the ground.
At this time, the old man suddenly returned.
"Your Majesty, you haven't gotten the carcass of this beast out yet."
"Yes, I was about to call you over and get him out."
The old man directly picked up Liu Song on his back and threw him into the yard first, and then he would talk about it tomorrow. (End of chapter)
