Chapter 342 Bitter
The incense curls up, blown by the river wind.
Leaning on the soft couch, propping his chin with his hands behind his back, Xu Yuan stared at the soft smile on Li Zhaoyuan's handsome face, feeling a little disappointed in his heart.
Although we all know who did some things, the result of whether we admit it or not is very different.
Evidence is a good thing.
Even if you know who did it, you can't move him openly without evidence.
If you want to move, then use private means as well.
Actually, before coming here, Xu Yuan still had some expectations in his heart.
Looking forward to Li Zhaoyuan being able to break through the defense, face Fenghu and do some radical things.
But unfortunately, Li Zhaoyuan is more tolerant than he imagined.
"You can really bear it."
“.”
After the words fell, Li Zhaoyuan's eyes showed a touch of just right doubt:
"Huh? How do you say that?"
Xu Yuan was not surprised by this, and laughed softly:
"Oh, it's nothing. I was bitten by a snake once, and I was afraid of well ropes for ten years. I was assassinated on this trip, which made me a little suspicious."
Li Zhaoyuan frowned slightly:
"Chang Tian is doubting the king?"
Hearing this remark, Xu Yuan didn't hide it, and his words were very direct:
"I did have this suspicion before I came here, but now."
Speaking of this, he suddenly smiled, smiling brightly, and glanced at the porcelain pot with only soup and spices left:
“.. I don’t have this suspicion anymore.
"After all, any individual should be unable to speak to his lover."
Li Zhaoyuan smiled, and his soft and deep voice was deep and magnetic:
"So Chang Tian, that's what you meant. No wonder you said those things when I was eating, but Chang Tian, I want to remind you about certain things."
Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows, moved slightly closer, and said with a soft smile:
"Yuan, I would like to hear the teachings of the emperor."
"It's not teaching, it's just a reminder."
Li Zhaoyuan casually put the napkin that wiped the corners of his mouth into the **** bucket, his eyes soft and his smile warm:
"Since that person dared to assassinate you and Qingyan, he didn't care about it. Don't you think it's too naive to use this method to take revenge?"
Xu Yuan showed a hint of doubt, and leaned closer to sigh again, his voice was very soft:
"Killing people, punishing one's heart, how can you say it's childish?"
Li Zhaoyuan laughed lightly when he heard the words, his voice was calm and hearty:
"Chang Tian, this king has just said that people who dare to assassinate you and Qing Yan don't know these things. They are not considered human beings, so how can they talk about killing their hearts?"
Xu Yuan's eyes flashed strangeness, and the tip of his tongue lightly licked the corner of his lips:
"Then what if you are me, brother?"
Li Zhaoyuan lowered his eyes, and lightly stroked the jade wrench on his index finger:
"Slaying the big monster, you should have fun with the soldiers and the people. Not only does it work as you expected, but it can also boost morale and gain fame and fortune."
“.”
The words fell silent, and the river wind brushed his long bundled hair and the gloomy light in his pupils like ink.
"Ha ha ha ha ha"
A low laugh broke the silence.
Standing up on the table, Xu Yuan patted his dust-free robes and bowed:
"Brother Huang, Changtian has been educated, and Qingyan is still waiting for me tonight, so I won't bother you here."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked towards the simple wooden door of the attic.
Boots stepped on the ground, the footsteps were soft, and when he walked to the door, he suddenly stopped.
Xu Yuan seemed to suddenly think of something, and suddenly asked:
"Brother Huang, why did you think of opening a mansion in Beijing?"
Da Yan ancestor system, the prince can choose to establish a hidden residence in Beijing, or he can be directly assigned to the territory.
However, in the past five hundred years, very few princes born to court ladies dared to apply to establish a mansion in Di'an City.
The reason is also very simple,
will die.
Summary of historical experience.
Not to mention the princes born to the empresses of the world, compared to the princes born to noble concubines Zhaoyi and Jieyu, court ladies cannot bring any help to the princes, on the contrary they even drag them down.
As long as the prince born by a court lady and concubine opens a mansion, he will be deposed within one to two years on average, and then quietly die of illness after the new emperor ascends the throne.
Do not fight or grab, in order to seek peace and prosperity in life.
“.”
The voice fell, Li Zhaoyuan looked at the brocade robed man standing at the door, and his voice was soft:
"Chang Tian, are you actually curious about this?"
Xu Yuan turned around and looked at the prince in white robe sitting by the window:
"Just curious, if it's inconvenient."
"No problem."
Li Zhaoyuan chuckled lightly:
"But do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
Xu Yuan was stunned for a moment, a little surprised that the other party was still joking, and then laughed:
"Of course it is the truth."
Li Zhaoyuan nodded slightly, and there was a hint of reminiscence between the indifferent and deep black pupils.
After a long while, he gave a low laugh, with a rare self-mockery in his words:
"Because... this king doesn't want to be bullied by those trash."
“.”
"Do not believe?"
"What do you think?" Xu Yuanpi smiled.
"Although you don't believe Chang Tian, this is the truth." Li Zhaoyuan's voice returned to its usual calmness.
Xu Yuan shook his head, laughed softly and said:
"Your Highness is a prince, so it seems a bit hypocritical to say that."
Li Zhaoyuan stared at Xu Yuan calmly, with a faint smile in his voice:
"Changtian, not all fathers are like Duke Xu, and not all families are like Xiangfu."
Xu Yuan squinted his eyes:
"Could it be that there are evil slaves deceiving the master in the palace?"
Li Zhaoyuan did not answer this question, but looked sideways out of the window:
"You can ask Yun Qing about these things."
The words fall,
The warm light of the fire lamp imprinted on his handsome face with half light and half shadow.
Xu Yuan squinted his eyes, pondered for a few breaths, chuckled, and waved his hands:
"Okay then, I believe what the emperor says, take care."
Say it,
Push the door straight out, Li Zhaoyuan's faint voice came from behind:
"You too, return to Beijing Luyao, pay attention to safety."
All fell silent,
Even if no one is there, Li Zhaoyuan is still meticulous in his sitting posture.
He just sat there quietly, staring calmly at the white fox skin that was left on the table.
【Li Zhaoyuan, I owe you a favor】
【What? Then why did you save me? 】
【This is your mercy, it has nothing to do with this king? 】
【Your sanctimonious appearance is really annoying】
【.】
【.】
【The king's injury is the greed of your human race】
【My injury is healed, I have to go, do you have anything to say】
【You are an **** as always, I will take shape when I return to Guyuan on this trip】
【Narcissistic man, it’s not because of you, I’m looking for revenge on that person】
【.】
【.】
【If I die during this trip, will you be sad】
There is no sigh, no complicated eyes, only calm like a quiet lake.
Li Zhaoyuan looked up at the sky, slowly raised his hand, then gave a firm grip, and then chuckled.
The figure disappeared into the attic, and the wind blowing gently floated the soft fur of the white fox.
Walking out of the attic, Xu Yuan looked up at the pitch-black sky, at the turbulent falling snow.
Standing for a few breaths, he stepped forward to leave. When he passed by the door of the main room, the door was suddenly pushed open from the inside.
A figure in a python robe walked out, raised his hand and greeted with a smile:
"Yo, the talk is over, so soon?"
"Yo, it's over, so soon?"
Xu Yuan also smiled and replied: "Why are you waiting for me here?"
“.”
Li Yunqing ignored Xu Yuan's yellow accent, stepped into the snow with his hands behind his back, and glanced at the attic:
"How was the talk with the second brother?"
"good."
"Don't be so ambiguous, talk about the details."
"I let him eat your sister-in-law."
"." Li Yunqing.
After a moment of silence, Li Yunqing subconsciously glanced at the room behind him.
Xu Yuan glanced behind him, and saw a voluptuous snow-white body lying on the bed with its back to the door, its waist and hip lines were extremely alluring under the cover of the thin gauze quilt.
Withdrawing their eyes, they looked at each other for a moment.
Xu Yuan glanced at the room again.
Li Yunqing closed the door without any trace:
"You mean eating."
Speaking of this, he pointed to the door behind him.
Xu Yuan shook his head directly, making a gesture of eating.
The corners of Li Yunqing's mouth twitched slightly,
Thumbs up.
I just don't know whether to give it to Xu Yuan in front of me, or to Li Zhaoyuan in the attic.
Xu Yuan smiled slightly, and asked with a weird smile:
"Heh Yunqing, since you don't intend to intervene, why do you ask these things?"
Li Yunqing sorted out her mood, did not ask who the so-called "Emperor's Sister-in-law" was, and complained in a low voice:
"You have to ask, if your conflicts intensify, and the emperor is determined to kill you, I will have to be buried for you."
"Your words are quite direct." Xu Yuan chuckled and said, "Aren't you afraid of being heard by your brother?"
Li Yunqing spread his hands, and said very bachelor:
"I didn't say anything big, and it didn't involve a matter of principle. It doesn't matter if it sounds like this."
Xu Yuan has a lot of meaning:
"You actually know that he can eavesdrop, so you refused me just because you were afraid of being overheard by your brother?"
“.”
Li Yunqing cursed the **** in his heart, and said in a low voice:
"I warn you, don't stir up discord, I'm wholeheartedly devoted to my elder brother."
"It's boring, let's go."
Xu Yuan patted him on the shoulder and prepared to leave.
Snapped.
Li Yunqing grabbed Xu Yuan's wrist.
Xu Yuan looked back.
Li Yunqing forced a smile on his face:
"Brother, if you want to go back to Beijing, why don't you take me with you?"
Xu Yuan had strange eyes.
Li Yunqing smacked his lips, glanced at the attic, and whispered:
"The northern border is going to be chaotic, and now the emperor is hesitant. As the eldest brother's right-hand man, if I am assassinated, it is unlikely that I will be investigated."
Xu Yuan chuckled lightly:
"With such a big chamber of commerce in your hands, you don't even have a strong one?"
Li Yunqing let out a light "tsk":
"I manage the Royal Chamber of Commerce. If I dare to get involved in the military, I will lose my head? Let alone my brother, my father may not tolerate me."
Xu Yuan's eyes twitched.
The emperor and his father are indeed comrades who have walked together for most of their lives, and their power structures are so similar.
The old man Hua Hong needs manpower, and usually he has to spend money to hire Tianan Martial Arts or the Black Scale Army.
Thinking to this point, Xu Yuan touched his chin and stared at the little three in front of him:
"Then you look for your elder brother. Li Yucheng is the prince, and there should be many strong people around him. Wouldn't it be good if he sent someone to pick you up?"
If the prince can protect Li Yunqing, he will definitely protect him.
The emperor who is so loyal and devoting himself to everything is ignored. One moment, he will lose an arm, and the other will be very chilling.
Now Li Yunqing's cultivation level is almost the same as his.
A fourth-rank fused into a fifth-rank condensed soul.
In the event of an assassination by a high-level cultivator, Xu Yuan may not be sure, after all, he has an old sister with him, and it is basically impossible for Li Yunqing to survive.
If the strong man accompanied him, it would not necessarily be the case. Even if he was assassinated to death in the end, the accompanying strong man could at least see some clues and evidence from the assassin's skills and combat skills, so as to settle accounts in the future.
Li Yunqing showed a trace of embarrassment, and sighed:
"Isn't this because my brother said that there is no manpower available now?"
"Can't get any manpower?"
Xu Yuan's eyes were a little strange, and then he reacted, squinted his eyes, and said with a smile:
"So your father won't let you?"
“.”
Li Yunqing didn't dare to answer Xu Yuan's words,
He is very clear about what can be said and what cannot be said.
Sometimes he feels that he is really pathetic, in order to keep his life alive, he has to turn to outsiders for help.
Facing Li Yunqing's eager gaze, Xu Yuan didn't immediately answer the other party's request.
Although the ancestral system of the prince's establishment of the government and the establishment of the teeth can compete to select the relatively best emperor, but when the old and new emperors hand over power, turmoil will also inevitably occur.
Li Yaoxuan's time is running out, and when he is dying, he must pave the way for the new emperor, and this road must be full of blood.
Whether the crown prince will stand by and die Xu Yuan is unclear, but according to common sense, it should not be, and neither should Li Zhaoyuan.
He quite likes Li Yunqing's character, but the problem is that if he dies, it seems that the interests of the prime minister will be greater.
The more turbulent the power transfer of the royal family is, the more things the prime minister can manipulate.
While thinking about it, Xu Yuan looked at the face in front of him that looked a bit like Li Qingyan, and sighed:
"Yun Qing"
"I'm here." Li Yunqing replied immediately.
"I'll take you with me before I go."
Li Yunqing's expression brightened: "How much money?"
"." Xu Yuan.
Waving his sleeves, Xu Yuan smiled and said:
"You don't need money, you just owe me a favor."
Li Yunqing had a weird expression, with scrutiny in his eyes.
This kid. Transgendered?
Hiss. The picture is bigger, right?
Xu Yuan noticed the other party's gaze, grinned and said:
"I have to do things with money, and I may not be able to go back alive, let alone you."
Li Yunqing's heart sank, he glanced at the attic, and whispered:
"The conversation is broken? With my second brother's character, I shouldn't be able to resist eating a queen's wife."
"Who knows? Anyway, before leaving, he said Dijing Luyao, let me be careful."
"." Li Yunqing slammed his mouth.
Xu Yuan spread his hands, suddenly remembered what Li Zhaoyuan said, and asked softly:
"By the way, there will be evil slaves in your royal harem deceiving the master?"
"ah?"
Li Yunqing was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes showed a little hesitation: "Is it my second brother who told you something?"
Xu Yuan didn't answer, just looked at him.
Li Yunqing smacked his lips, and raised his eyes revealing memories:
"I'm the third child of my mother, but I haven't been bullied, but the second brother must have suffered a lot when he was a child."
Xu Yuan had a strange expression:
"Prince... will suffer?"
"You don't think so?"
Li Yunqing stared at Xu Yuan with a half-smile:
"The battle in the harem is not as easy as that in the imperial court.
"Changtian, most of my brothers and sisters were stillborn before they were born, and many died in childhood. Only this king knows the names of thirteen of them."
