You are already cultivating immortality, who would fight with you alone?

Ye Xinglan faked a smile and stared at Liu Yuntian.

Liu Yuntian looked at the concubine with empty eyes and began to ponder, is this true gold that is not afraid of fire, or is it just outwardly strong but actually weak?

If she was really an assassin, and he really investigated, wouldn't he be afraid? Or...he was just betting that he wasn't that bad, and deliberately did this to get rid of suspicion?

Well, I really don't buy it. I'm just that tough!

"Then I will respectfully obey your command!" As soon as these words came out, Ye Xinglan's face showed obvious displeasure, but he then smiled, stepped aside, and made a "please" gesture.

Seeing the concubine looking nervous and not daring to move, like a shivering kitten, Liu Yuntian took the saber from Qi Xing and said in a deep voice,

"The assassin was wounded in the side by me, and was poisoned. Even if there is a panacea, he will not recover in a short period of time, so the injury will naturally remain."

As he spoke, he raised the scabbard and stabbed it at the concubine's waist. The concubine was unstable and staggered back a step, but after balancing herself, she stood up again, lowered her head, and a look of fear on her face.

It doesn't hurt? Could it be that it wasn't her? Or is this guy more tolerant?

Thinking of this, Liu Yuntian inadvertently increased his strength, and the skin on the concubine's waist was sunken half an inch by the top of the scabbard, but the expression on her face was only fear, without any sign of pain.

He put the saber back into Qi Xing's hand after sheathing it, and bowed, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty."

The concubine quickly returned the greeting, "It's no problem. It's my honor to help Lord Liu."

At this moment Dongfang Lan also came back and walked into Tongxian Palace without reporting to her. Liu Yuntian knew that he had gained nothing again.

"Since the palace is no longer in peace, I am relieved. I will now report..."

"Wait a minute!"

Ye Xinglan raised his hand to interrupt Liu Yuntian's polite words, "I still want to talk to Mr. Liu."

Liu Yuntian's mouth twitched. Was he going to make trouble? Then he sat back on the stool helplessly, "Then I will chat with Your Majesty for a while."

Ye Xinglan nodded and walked around the palace with his hands behind his back. "The capital is really not peaceful right now. There are assassins every few days. First they killed my sister, and now they are trying to kill my pillar. It seems someone wants to destroy my family."

"If Lord Liu really falls, what will happen to my Daliang?"

Ye Xinglan looked at Liu Yuntian with a sigh, and patted his heart at the same time, expressing some fear. "If you ask me, this is not Lord Liu's fault. Lord Liu has many official duties and is entangled in miscellaneous matters. Does he have to do it himself to maintain the security of the capital? It must be that General Qi is not doing his job well!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand at Eunuch Zhu and shouted angrily, "Call General Qi. I want to ask him how he, the highest military commander of the National Defense Army, is doing his job!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Xing's face changed drastically, his legs trembled subconsciously, and he looked at Liu Yuntian anxiously.

Liu Yuntian naturally knew that Ye Xinglan was coming for him. He controlled the lifeline of Daliang, and Ye Xinglan didn't dare to get angry. He wanted to take it out on General Qi, so he quickly interrupted and said, "Your Majesty!"

"Although General Qi led the National Defense Army, he was unable to catch the assassin. This was because my Imperial Guards were not doing their job properly, and it had little to do with the National Defense Army."

"Oh~~"

Ye Xinglan nodded in agreement, "Mr. Liu is right, so I won't pass it on."

Qi Xing breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could catch his breath, Ye Xinglan continued, "Lord Liu, don't blame yourself. There is no such thing as a failure in doing things. In my opinion, Lord Liu has too many responsibilities on his shoulders, which is why he was so careless. Is it a problem with Lord Liu's ability?"

"How about..." Ye Xinglan squatted down and looked at Liu Yuntian, who was sitting on a stool, "How about you put down some of your burdens, Mr. Liu, and I will help you carry some of your burdens?"

"As the saying goes, you can't put all your eggs in one basket. Since Mr. Liu cares so much about Daliang, I'm sure he won't be stingy with his power, right?"

hiss......

Good boy, I'm really good boy! Waiting here! I've gone through such a big circle!

After these words were spoken, there was no longer any mention of an assassin. It was obvious that this guy had arranged this, with the purpose of ascending to the moral high ground and putting pressure on himself.

The previous set of words was just to make him say that everything was for Daliang. Since the palace was searched for the sake of justice, it was only natural to share power for the sake of justice. If he searched the palace under the guise of justice, he would be offending the emperor.

Now, when it comes to the righteousness of national affairs, he is unwilling to do so. Isn't this double standards?

At this moment, Liu Yuntian really wanted to transform into version T0 and have a hearty battle of the law of inequality, and reject the other party by being naughty.

But it was obvious that Ye Xinglan had a backup plan. If he didn't let go, the other party would most likely target General Qi. General Qi was a strong supporter of Liu Yuntian. He had two sons working for him, and his daughter was also sent to a second-rate sect for further study by Liu Yuntian himself.

It can be said that the two families have long been in a state of shared prosperity and adversity.

From this point of view, the pressure was directly put on his side. It was obvious that Ye Xinglan saw that he did not dare to turn against him. He had a fierce conflict with the Qingyun Sect and the Buddhist Sect outside. If he broke up with Ye Xinglan inside, internal and external troubles would be maximized.

Let’s not even talk about whether the internal strife will lead to the four sects taking advantage of the situation to rob.

Besides, Ye Xinglan was still a powerful warrior in the Nascent Soul stage. Even if he mobilized the National Protection Army to rebel and really killed him, killing the emperor was a sin that was difficult to wash away. The Sima clan had been scolded for two thousand years, which was a living example. The cohesion of the nation had declined, and it was also the ultimate reason that directly led to the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China.

The Qingyun Sect is definitely not enough to deal with external threats, so he caused conflicts between himself and the Buddhist Sect. However, he sent assassins to act out a drama, intensifying external threats and releasing internal troubles, just to make himself make a choice and then seize power!

I thought that provoking conflicts within the Buddhist sect was the other party's goal, but I didn't expect that it was just one of the steps to pave the way for the present!

From the beginning, he has been hinting that he is in a high position and has great power, and that he holds all the lifelines in his hands. Now is the perfect time for him to back off and let you share the power!

It was you who conquered Daliang, so you wouldn't feel bad even if it was destroyed. On the contrary, he still has the cultivation base of the Nascent Soul Stage. But you, Liu Yuntian, are different. Without Daliang, you would just be a mortal in the Qi Refining Stage!

Everything you have will come to naught, I bet you value Daliang more than I do!

Not simple, not simple! This cunning man is still the useless emperor Ye Xinglan that I know? !

What a great plan! What a powerful conspiracy! I'm telling you clearly that I'm trying to trick you, but you can't do anything about it! This is the power of conspiracy!

"hehe,"

I have always advocated open strategies, but now I have been controlled by the other party's open strategy. It's ridiculous to think about it.

Although he didn't expect the other party to have such a clever move, this was exactly what Liu Yuntian wanted. Without some clever tricks, he really didn't dare to admit defeat, otherwise it would be too deliberate and seem fake!

So I asked in a difficult way,

"So, Your Majesty...which ones do you want?"

Ye Xinglan finally smiled. "Oh, Lord Liu, you are so polite. I am not greedy. How about letting me help you manage your sugar factory, salt field, animal slaves and medicine slaves?"

Fuck you, you bastard, these are all the ways I can make money, and you want them all? Isn't that greedy? Is this something a carbon-based creature can say? Ye Xinglan's poetic grip!
