The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 42 Conversation in the Secret Room
"You are worried that the rain will delay the autumn harvest." It seemed that he had guessed what Changsun Ji was going to say.Changsun Lianyi said in advance.

"No, no, I'm worried that this rain will kill hundreds of people in Changsun's mansion."

"Why do you say that?" Seeing that Changsun Ji didn't seem to be joking, Changsun Lianyi also became serious.

"Old man, you are called the Great Yan Planner. You must be a very smart person. Why are you confused now? Emperor Yan has established the country for more than 20 years. Although Emperor Yan is still in good health, he is old after all. If you don’t allow it, you will go on that day. The cunning rabbit is dead, the lackey is cooked. The birds are gone, and the good bow is hidden. A veteran of the founding of the country like you is still alive, how can he leave with peace of mind?"

Changsun Lianyi stared at Changsun Ji for a while, until Changsun Ji felt uncomfortable, then smiled and said, "Why did you mention this all of a sudden, you come with me first."

After finishing speaking, Changsun Lianyi got up and walked away, and Changsun Ji followed behind.The two turned around and walked into Changsun Lianyi's study.

Changsun Lianyi closed the door, walked to the desk, put his finger on the junction of the table and the table legs, and touched it a few times.Then, the bookshelf full of books moved outwards.

Changsun Ji looked at Changsun Lianyi in surprise.

Changsun Lianyi didn't explain to Changsun Ji, he went straight to the back of the bookshelf, glanced at Changsun Ji, and beckoned him to follow.

After Changsun Ji walked to the bookshelf, he discovered that under the bookshelf, there was a hole leading to the bottom. Obviously, this was either a secret room or a secret passage.

Changsun Ji entered the cave entrance with a bowed body, and slowly descended the steps to the ground.Seeing Changsun Lianyi with his back turned to him, he lit an oil lamp at the entrance of the cave.Then the light pushed a slightly raised blue brick inward, and the hole was blocked by the bookshelf above it again.

Changsun Ji followed the light and looked around.Unsurprisingly, this is a small secret room about ten square meters, with a few cushions inside.

Changsun Lianyi put the oil lamp in his hand on the lamp stand.He said, "Did you hear something outside?"

"Three sons eat two horses."

"What do you mean?" Changsun Lianyi's complexion changed.

"What do you mean, old man, can't you guess? Isn't that why you tried so hard to make me marry the daughter of Emperor Yan?" Changsun Ji said playfully.

"What are you talking about? Whether you are marrying Princess Ling'an or Princess Taiping, it is a marriage bestowed by His Majesty. What does it have to do with me?" Changsun Lianyi's complexion returned to normal. He has experienced too many things in his life. up.It was only because Changsun Ji caught him off guard just now that some changes in his face were revealed.

"Old guy, what kind of charades are you playing for me?" Changsun Lianyi said with a speechless face, and then said with interest: "It's better to get to the bottom of our father and son. What do you know? I'll tell you too. I know something."

"Okay, tell me first, where did you get this prophecy?"

"You don't have to worry about it, anyway, you just need to know that the prophecy is true." Changsun Ji waved his hand, as if you don't need to worry about it.

"Since Emperor Yan can even kill the King of Chu, how can you guarantee that the next one will not be our Changsun Mansion, old man. If you want me to say, why don't you take this opportunity to overthrow that Emperor Yan with King Chu, and then share the world equally with King Chu?" .”

"Your tone is not small, you can control half of the world by opening your mouth. However, this matter is not as simple as you think. As long as Emperor Yan is not dead, there will be no rebellion in this world."

"Why? Don't tell me that everyone in this world is so loyal to Emperor Yan. The knife will fall on their heads immediately, and Emperor Yan can let them be slaughtered with a single order?"

"Of course not. Emperor Yan was able to start from the humble beginnings, defeat the heroes, and ascend to that position. His means are very good. Don't look at his benevolent appearance now, but his means are not ambiguous at all."

"By the way, what did you mean when you said that the rain was about the life of my eldest grandson's mansion." Changsun Lianyi asked, remembering what Changsun Ji said before.

"I've already told you. Now it's your turn to tell. Emperor Yan is about to deal with the King of Chu, and you don't feel any sadness about the death of a rabbit. Tell me first what you have left behind to deal with Emperor Yan. "Changsun Ji asked curiously.

"Heh, what can I do next? The king let the minister die, and the minister has to die. At that time, he will be slaughtered by the neck." Changsun Lianyi said with a loyal face.

"Ha, do you think I will believe it? You should save these words for Emperor Yan. See if you can move him and save you from death." Changsun Ji looked angry, and he was tricked by his own father. , A bunch of news was taken away by the quilt, but he didn't even get a hair.

Looking at Changsun Ji's distraught expression, Changsun Lianyi also knew that he could get nothing out of Changsun Ji's mouth.Then he said: "Since you don't want to say it, I won't force you. You can go up if you have nothing to do! Why are you still staying here, waiting to spend the night!"

"Hmph." Changsun Ji snorted coldly, turned around and walked a few steps.Then he stopped again, turned his head to look at Changsun Lianyi and said, "I can tell you about this, but I can't tell you for nothing. You have to give me 3000 taels of silver."

"3000 taels? Your tone is really serious. Do you think your father is a banker? No. It's only 2000 taels. You can talk about it as you like, and don't talk about it."

"Two thousand is two thousand. After this rain, Emperor Yan will deal with the King of Chu in a short time. When he is free, he will definitely deal with the Changsun Mansion." After finishing speaking, Changsun Ji looked at Changsun Lianyi innocently. .

"End?"

"It's over? Otherwise, what else do you want?" Changsun Ji spread his hands and said innocently.

"Stinky boy, are you kidding me?" Changsun Lianyi raised his hand and slapped Changsun Ji on the head.

"You played me first, I don't care. You have already agreed. If you don't pay me, I will sell Pengyuan, let the whole capital know that the son of Marquis Liu'an was abused, and the poor can only sell it." The yard is gone. Let me see if you still want the face of the Marquis of Liu An." Changsun Ji dodged the slap from the sky with a catwalk.Sapo shouted shamelessly.

Then, without giving Changsun Lianyi a chance to refuse, he turned around and ran up.

Looking at Changsun Ji who ran away without a trace, Changsun Lianyi laughed and cursed: "This brat."

Afterwards, under the light of the constantly beating flame, his face also continued to sink.He didn't know that Emperor Yan was going to deal with King Chu before, but he stayed in the capital all year round and was very familiar with Emperor Yan's character.I found some clues, so I was a little suspicious, so I insisted that the eldest grandson Ji marry the daughter of Emperor Yan after Emperor Yan bestowed the marriage.

He can't figure it out now?I don't know why Emperor Yan wanted to kill King Chu.If Emperor Yan was afraid because the king of Chu was too prestigious and held military power, he would not be too worried.
