2. Family affection is as light as water, and red face is also hurtful
In a warm room, a blue-eyed blonde beauty plays a harp in the center of the room, while a noble prince and a beggar sit together on a soft slab with a mahogany square table with a few delicate side dishes and a pot of wine.
Suddenly, the beggar drank all the wine in his cup and cried out happily. "Good wine, good wine! Tianxiang Pavilion's drunken immortal brew is indeed worthy of being one of the top ten famous wines in the world, and the old beggar can drink such a beautiful wine today, thanks to the son! As he spoke, the beggar turned his head to look at the noble boy next to him.
The corners of your son's mouth were slightly upturned, revealing a rare smile, the white jade wine glass shook gently on the slender fingertips, and then, lightly said: "The old gentleman doesn't have to be polite, as the so-called brothers in the four seas, although you and I meet each other, but we are like-minded, now the wine is accompanied, the beauty is accompanied, life is so far, what more can the husband ask for!" β
The beggar laughed and said boldly: "Yes, although the son is a famous nobleman, he has such a true temperament, it is really rare, rare!" The old beggar will make you a friend today, and if the son is in trouble in the future, the old beggar will definitely help the son. β
When the noble prince heard this, his face changed slightly, and then he sighed lightly and said, "The old gentleman said this, I can't help but look at it!" Although I am weak, I also understand morality. Today, you and I have similar interests, drinking at the same table, it is a great pleasure in life, I am not coveting the old gentleman's reward, if the old gentleman says so, it is to despise me. β
At this moment, the sound of the piano suddenly stopped, and the beauty on the opposite side slowly stood up, and smiled at the noble prince and the beggar: "Since the two of you are so compatible, why don't you have a drink." As she spoke, she saw the beautiful woman clapping her hands.
Then, a servant girl pushed the door open, holding a jug made of pure gold. After entering the chamber, the maidservant gently placed the flask in her hand on the square table, and then bowed down.
The blue-eyed blonde beauty looked at the golden wine jug on the table, slowly walked to the square table, and filled the wine glasses for the noble prince and the beggar with her own hands.
"Two distinguished guests, the drunken immortal brew in this pavilion is famous all over the world, but this pot of wine is a specialty of my Western Regions Youzhou, and it is called Beauty Tears. The best thing about this wine is that it must be stored in a vessel made of gold, otherwise it will lose its unique flavor. β
The noble prince looked at the wine jug on the table, looked slightly stunned, and then nodded, and said: "Beauty tears, beauty tears, the name of this wine is so special, is it really brewed from the tears of beauty?" β
"What Childe said is that this wine is indeed made from the tears of more than 100 beauties, and then goes through a series of complex processes before it can be brewed. The entrance of the wine is sweet and delicious, but it will make people feel inexplicably sad, and they cry for this wine, hence the name beauty tears! β
When the beggar heard this, his eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "Really? Can drinking this wine make people cry? I don't believe it! Wine is wine, drinking is the most pleasant thing in the world, if drinking can make people cry, then why drink? β
The noble prince frowned slightly, looked sad, and then said lightly: "The old gentleman has a bold and hearty temperament, but I don't know that there are many people in the world, they are alive but more uncomfortable than dead, drinking alcohol for them, maybe just a kind of sustenance, although wine is good wine, but if the person who drinks is sad, the wine is more sad, and people may not cry." β
Just as the noble son spoke, the blue-eyed beauty stared at the noble prince opposite, and her eyes never left the noble son for a moment.
"Childe is high-minded, little woman admires! If people's hearts are bitter, the wine is bitter, and if people's hearts are happy, the wine is fragrant, not because the wine is changing, but when the people are changing! In that case, you two would like to taste this wine! β
The noble prince smiled faintly and said, "I have always had no resistance to fine wine, especially the wine poured by the beauty, which will not be wasted." β
The beggar was talking to himself, muttering, "Hmph! Isn't it just drinking? I want to see how this beautiful tear made the old beggar cry bitterly! β
After that, the noble prince and the beggar drank the wine in the cup together. After a while, the old beggar was still the same, but the noble boy slowly closed his eyes, and there were really tears in the corners of his eyes.
When the old beggar saw this, he exclaimed, "Wow, no! You...... You really shed tears, but why didn't I shed tears? β¦β¦β
But at this moment, the beauty covered her mouth and smiled, and said: "The old gentleman plays the world, so he naturally doesn't know the sorrow in the wine, but Ling Gongzi is ......."
At this time, the noble prince slowly opened his eyes, with a sad face and a gloomy expression, and said: "I have long been a damned person, and I have lived until now, only pain, only helplessness...... I ......"
Before the noble prince finished speaking, a domineering voice suddenly came from outside the door of the wing.
"What is the ninth brother talking about? The ninth brother is a prince, born noble, with endless glory and inexhaustible wealth, how can he be a damned person? β
Subsequently, the door of the wing room was forcibly opened, and a young man wearing a nine-dragon robe walked in, the prince was dressed as a royal nobleman, his air was magnificent, and there was a faint domineering spirit of a king, and behind the young man, there were full of gold-armored warriors.
Gui Gongzi raised his eyes to look at the people who rushed in, sighed quietly, and said, "Second brother, I am just a person with only half a life left, do you still refuse to let me go?" I just want to be an ordinary person, don't you agree to this request? We're brothers! You are the second prince of the current dynasty, the crown prince of Nanping Kingdom, and the future lord of Nanping, do you really want to kill them all? β
It turned out that the young man who rushed into the house with people was the second prince of today's Nanping Kingdom, and he was also the second brother of the noble son.
The second prince sighed helplessly, and said coldly: "Hey! Brothers? What a beautiful word, but as a member of the Nanping royal family, the word brother represents killing and death. You don't want to fight with anyone, but if you don't die, how can I be at ease. For so many years, for this throne, the eldest died, the third died, the fifth died, the sixth, the seventh, and the eighth died, aren't they all my brothers? It's a pity, it's a pity that there is no family affection in front of the imperial power, only with great power in my hands, I can continue to survive, if I don't fight, I will die, do you understand? Old Nine! β
When the noble prince heard this, his face became even paler, and then he coughed rapidly.
"Ahem, second brother, with my current body, it's still unknown how long I can live, so how can I compete with you?"
When the second prince heard this, his face gradually sank, and then he sneered, and his laughter was full of strong killing intent.
"Li Ling, Li Ling, what an old nine, what a Nine Emperors of Nanping! Do you want to continue acting? Originally, you have been half-dead for the past ten years, and I don't plan to take your life, but ...... But...... You're not poisoned at all, are you? It's ridiculous that I've been blinded by your appearance for so many years, and I almost made a big mistake! β
Li Ling is the Nine Emperors of Nanping Kingdom, and he is also the noble son in front of him.
Hearing the words of the second prince's questioning, Li Ling's face changed suddenly, and a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
Seeing this, the second prince's face sank, and he said coldly: "What? I was right! You don't have to be like this, now, the entire Nanping Emperor is already under my control, do you still want to continue to deceive yourself? β
Hearing this, Li Ling's face changed again, and he said hurriedly: "Second brother...... You...... What did you say? What exactly did you do? What did you mean by that? What about the father and the fourth brother? β
"Fourth? Hum! He has always wanted to put me to death, but unfortunately this time he miscalculated one step and lost all the games, Nan Chu has sent troops to help me quell the chaos, and now the big thing has been decided, and the fourth child is estimated to be in a different place now. As for that old immortal, I have been grounded in the palace, and now only you are left! β
Hearing this, Li Ling's whole person was like being hit by a huge thunderbolt, and his soul was shattered, and then, the muscles on Li Ling's face began to twitch, and drops of cold sweat flowed down his cheeks, and suddenly, Li Ling's eyes became red, and he began to roar wildly.
"What? Do you borrow troops from Nanchu? You killed the fourth brother? And locked up his father? Are you crazy? Second brother, they are your father and brothers, how can you? Li Tong, you are already the crown prince, and the throne will be yours sooner or later, why should you be like this? Aren't you afraid of retribution? β
The expression on the face of the second prince Li Tong did not change in the slightest, and he said coldly: "If it is late, it will change!" Haven't you heard? If I don't kill, people will come and kill me! Imperial power, who doesn't want it? Do you think the fourth child will be tied up? If I hadn't been prepared this time, united with Nanchu, and quelled the civil strife, it would have been me who died! Do you understand? β
"And now? You're going to kill me, are you? Li Ling looked coldly at Li Tong opposite.
"Hey! It would be nice if you were at ease to be a weak and sick prince, and I could still maintain the only bit of brotherly affection, but now...... Ninth brother, do you know how much I envy you? Born smart, unforgettable, sharp-toothed, and knows how to please the old man, and no matter how hard I fight and make achievements, I can't get the old man's favor, let alone what I want, so I can only use some means! β
"What do you want? Is that the throne? Is the method such a trick as poisoning? Hmph, I'm telling you, I don't want that throne at all! β
"You may not want it now, but when you want it later, I'll deal with it again, and it's too late! I have to plan ahead! What do you think imperial power is? Imperial power is cold-blooded and killing, nine of us brothers, now only you and I are left, isn't it the final result of killing? But there's one thing I don't understand! β
"How did my poison unravel?" Li Ling said coldly, word by word.
"Not bad! When you were ten years old, I gave you a chronic poison, this poison is the secret poison of the West Sea Snake Island, although it does not cost people's lives, but it will make people's bodies weaker and weaker, and there is no cure for this poison. But it wasn't until three months ago that I learned from the master of the West Sea Snake Island that you weren't poisoned at all, and besides, your body wasn't as weak as you saw on the surface, these were all illusions! Li Tong said coldly.
"You're right, the poison on my body has indeed been unraveled! And now, you're going to kill me? Li Ling looked coldly at Li Tong and the golden-armored warrior behind Li Tong.
At this time, Li Tong didn't seem to want to kill people in a hurry. When a person is in control, he always likes to play with his opponent, just like a cat that catches a mouse, it will not rush to eat it, but will keep playing with it until the mouse is exhausted, and the cat will eat it.
Li Tong smiled faintly and said, "Don't you want to know, who told me that you weren't poisoned?" β
At this moment, a beautiful woman slowly walked out from behind Li Tong, the woman was as beautiful as a fairy in the sky, but she had an extra temperament that made people sin, which was a natural soft temperament, especially those touching eyes, as long as people looked at it, they could hook people's souls.
When Li Ling saw the woman opposite, his face instantly turned pale, and then he lost his voice and said, "Moon Immortal? So you betrayed me? For so many years, you have been my only confidant, so only you know my physical condition! β
Yue Xian sighed helplessly, and said: "His Royal Highness Nine is good at everything, but he can't change the problem of drinking, you know, if a person is poisoned and his body is weak, it is impossible to drink so much drunken immortal brew!" It's no wonder that His Royal Highness the Ninth can't stop his mouth! β
At this moment, Li Tong hugged Yuexian in his arms, and then laughed: "Ninth brother, ninth brother, you are too naΓ―ve!" Do you think Moon Fairy is your confidant? In fact, she has long been my woman...... You must know that a person will do anything to achieve his own goals, especially women, who are the most poisonous women! Do you know that the so-called confidante standing in front of you, all she thinks about is the throne of Empress Nanping, and I am the only one who can help her achieve her goals. β
In the face of Li Tong's rough behavior, Yuexian did not resist, but twisted his body in Li Tong's arms, deliberately catering to Li Tong's greedy behavior.
Li Ling looked at the two people in front of him coldly, with indescribable disgust and disgust in his heart. One is his own brother, and the other is his most trusted confidante, but unfortunately they both betrayed him, and he will also pay the price for his stupidity, and this price is undoubtedly painful, that is, his own life.
At this time, the blue-eyed beauty looked at Li Ling opposite, sighed helplessly, and said, "Your Highness, in fact, you don't have to be so sad!" The second prince had already reached an agreement with me on the Snake Island of the West Sea, and we helped him ascend the throne, and he provided us with what we needed. As for Yuexian, she was originally from my Snake Island, and it was to confuse and spy on you that she was sent to Tianxiang Pavilion. As for whether the snake venom on your body is really unraveled, I have only determined after trying it with beautiful tears just now. β
Hearing this, Yuexian frowned and said angrily: "Yuehua, you said too much!" β
Li Ling looked at the blue-eyed blonde beauty opposite, and said lightly: "It turns out that your name is Yuehua!" The moon of purity, the brilliance of brilliance! Good name, good name! Thank you for telling me this! β
At this time, a strange look flashed in Yuehua's eyes, as if helpless, sympathetic, and regretful.
In the end, Li Ling said coldly to Li Tong opposite: "What are you waiting for?" Still hands-on? People live for one life, what is there to fear of death, reincarnation in another life, and hope not to enter the emperor's house again! With that, Li Ling slowly closed his eyes.
Li Tong looked at Li Ling opposite, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.
"Yes, you're right! In the next life, don't enter the emperor's family again, I hope that in the next life, we can be a pair of real brothers! β
With that, the golden-armored warrior behind Li Tong slowly walked towards Li Ling.
