humble minister

Shi Kuang paused as he fiddled with the wine glass, and raised his brows lightly. He was indescribably coquettish, but also had a power that could not be ignored.How could he not know what his good nephew wanted? He just didn't want to use the dark forces left behind by the former emperor to hinder him.

Although he has always been not interested in the political situation in the court, this does not mean that he knows nothing. On the contrary, he is more aware of those secret things than most people. After all, the former emperor, that is, his former Therefore, the dark forces left to him by the emperor's brother will not be idle.Therefore, he also clearly knew Shi Yu's ambitions and actions, as well as the purpose and deal he negotiated with him.

To be honest, according to Shi Kuang's temperament, if he hadn't been asking for the news on the invitation post for a long time, then he would never sit here and listen to Shi Yu's gossip.

But King Mu An has always had a bad temper, and Shi Yu's behavior has already angered him a little, so he stopped being polite and said bluntly: "The king of the frontier has something to say, and this king naturally knows what you want. What, but whether you can agree depends on whether the clues you give are reliable."

At this time, Shi Yu also knew that Shi Kuang should not be provoked any more. Not only should he not be provoked, but also the result should be negotiated as soon as possible, so he straightforwardly stated the bargaining chip of the deal: "As long as you can agree The conditions I put forward in the invitation, then you can get the clues you want, uncle, why not do it?"

As he spoke, Shi Yu took out a secret letter from his pocket and put it on the table, pushed it in front of Shi Kuang, and said indifferently: "This secret letter contains the clues you want, Uncle Huang. The ability to make judgments."

Shi Kuang glanced at the secret letter on the table, then at Shi Yu, took it with almost no thought, and said, "I hope your clue is reliable, and of course I will pay more attention to it. If this clue is really useful, Then this king will naturally fulfill his promise and never interfere."

Seeing that he accepted it, Shi Yu's eyes darkened. The real and definite news in the secret letter was Yan Ran's whereabouts. Regarding Lin Meiran and Hua Zhuo, he only described the meeting and getting along with each other before, but there was no specific whereabouts. Yes, this is also to prevent Shi Kuang from going back on his word, so it is necessary to keep a hand.

Of course, the secret letter also said that if Shi Yu could see Shi Kuang's sincerity in cooperation, then he wouldn't mind offering the whereabouts of the two of them with both hands.Maybe it seems that he is a bit unrighteous in this way, but in front of Xiongtu Baye, these are nothing at all, and he can see that Shi Kuang and Lin Meiran are destined to be a natural couple, but it is a pity that the relationship between these two people The misunderstanding is too deep, it is better to let him explain it.

The conversation ended quickly. Although the atmosphere between the two parties was not very harmonious, this did not affect the result at all.

Now that we have reached an agreement, there is no need to stay any longer. Lian Ying followed Shi Yu and got up to leave, but at the same time, he was still thinking that this negotiation has nothing to do with him. I really don't know why Shi Yu dragged him on.

"Young Master Tingyun, please stay." Just as he stood up, Shi Kuang called to stop him.

He paused slightly, turned around, seemed to think of the reason why Shi Kuang called him, and then heard Shi Kuang continue to say: "This king has something to talk to Mr. Tingyun."

Shi Yu, who was walking in front, also stopped when he heard the words, and looked sideways at Lian Ying, there was no doubt that there was a question in his eyes.

Lian Ying shook his head slightly, signaling to him not to worry, there is no need to wait for him, but to go ahead, Shi Yu understood, looked at the expressionless Shi Kuang, and then walked out.

Since Lian Ying didn't want him to know about the conversation, he would naturally follow his decision.

After the door was closed again, Lian Ying sat back to his original position, looked at Shi Kuang who was still playing with his wine glass and said, "I wonder what King Mu An and Ting Yun have to talk about?"

Shi Kuang glanced at Lian Ying, who was calm and calm, and said casually, "Young Master Tingyun, maybe this king should call you Duanmu Lianying, but?"

Lian Ying was startled, it turned out that Shi Kuang already knew his identity, but does this also mean that the person who asked the old emperor to entrust the dark forces must be Shi Kuang.After all, if he hadn't been entrusted by the old emperor, I believe that King Mu An, who was depressed and gloomy during this period, would never care about him.

Then, it seems that there is also a trace of what Shi Kuang left him for.

"Since the prince already knows Ting Yun's true identity, you can say it directly if you have something to say. Ting Yun thinks that he doesn't have the leverage to make a deal with Ting Yun." After the initial shock passed, Lian Ying completely calmed down. , since there is something to talk about, then he might as well have a good talk with him.

"Tsk, why should Lian Ying belittle himself, in fact, you also have something that the king wants." Shi Kuang put down his glass and looked at Lian Ying with a half-smile, which was the first time Lian Ying saw such an expression.

"Could it be that the lord doesn't believe that the general and you are really dealing with each other?" Lian Ying raised his eyebrows. The word "same" was enough for him to guess a lot. For example, Shi Yu's secret letter to Shi Kuang didn't reveal much, or Did not disclose too much useful information, or Shi Kuang did not fully believe the information from Shi Yu, so he wanted to start from himself, because he also had bargaining chips that could check and balance himself and trade with him, such as the old emperor The secret decree entrusted to him and the mystery of his life experience.

Shi Kuang just smiled upon hearing Lian Ying's question. Even though he hadn't had time to read the secret letter, based on his understanding of Shi Yu, he knew that this person would never tell him all the information easily, and the truth and falsehood were even more important. It is difficult to distinguish, if we start from Lian Ying, it will be more comprehensive.

As for whether Lian Ying will be in collusion with Shi Yu, heh, unless he really doesn't care about the lives of hundreds of members of Duanmu's family.

"Whether this king believes it or not, you only need to know one thing, that is, the life of your entire family is now in the hands of this king alone. I believe that Mr. Tingyun will understand the choice between them."

After Lian Ying heard this, he pursed his lips and said nothing. He really wanted to solve the sharp knife hanging over Duanmu's head as soon as possible, but he couldn't put Shi Yu at a disadvantage because of this, so the deal really couldn't be negotiated. Woolen cloth.

"Sorry, my lord, I think you probably made a mistake in your wishful thinking, I..." Before Lian Ying could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the sound of the door opening. The two people in the room looked at the door at the same time, and then Seeing Shi Yu walking in with a blank face. It wasn't until he got closer that Lian Ying realized that Shi Yu's aura was frighteningly cold.

"This king doesn't know that the emperor still likes to threaten people like this?!" Shi Yu said coldly. Since he came in, he only glanced at Lian Ying at first, and then kept looking at Shi Kuang with cold eyes. .

Heck, everyone is a king. Although Shi Kuang's qualifications and seniority are higher than him, but he actually has real military power in his hands. It is still unknown which one is higher or lower!

Ever since Shi Yu came in, Lian Ying secretly thought it was not good. For some reason, he didn't want Shi Yu to know his real identity, but fortunately, Shi Kuang's words did not reveal any important secrets.

It's just that when Shi Yu glanced over, his heart trembled heavily, because the meaning in that glance was too many and complicated, there were disappointment and unhappiness, but also pity and comfort, he didn't understand why Shi Yu was disappointed and unhappy, And pity and comfort.

Perhaps, he is always a bit slow in matters of love.

Before he could react, Shi Yu took out an object from his pocket and threw it to Shi Kuang. Shi Kuang took it in doubt, but when he saw the object in his hand, his expression changed, and he said, "Why does the Yueshi jade tablet appear to be broken?" In your hands?"

"The emperor doesn't need to study the origin of this item carefully, as long as he knows that the jade tablet is real. The king gave this item to the emperor in exchange for what Ah Ying needed. I also hope that the emperor will not be stingy. Convenience for others is convenience for oneself, I believe the emperor also hopes to get his wish as soon as possible."

Shi Yu said these words with a cold face. Although he was disappointed and unhappy that Lian Ying kept something from him and refused to help him solve it, he felt pity and comfort for the hidden worries buried in Lian Ying's heart during these days and the protection he had just given , so if it can help Lian Ying solve the problem, then he doesn't mind taking out the jade card now, even though the jade card may be able to help him exchange for a promise from Shi Kuang in the future.

Shi Kuang smiled lowly when he heard this, and maybe Mei Ran would forgive him a little bit if he got this jade medal, even if it was only a little bit.

"Okay, as you wish, after you go back, this king will naturally send the things that Mr. Tingyun needs to the mansion."

On the way back, Lian Yingshi and Yu were silent, as if no one wanted to break the deadlock first.

In the end, it was Shi Yu who said, "Don't you want to explain? Regarding what King Mu An said, what does it mean that 'the life of the whole family' is in the hands of the emperor alone?"

Lian Ying bit his lip lightly, he didn't know how much Shi Yu would guess if he told some of the truth, but he knew that if he didn't say anything, then Shi Yu would definitely investigate in person, and it would be a matter of time before he knew his identity , might as well confess the part himself.

"Didn't you also guess who the person entrusted by the late emperor was?" Lian Ying thought for a while, and said so, seeing Shi Yu's face showing a bit of understanding.

"Actually, as early as half a year ago, the late emperor announced that I had a conversation, that was the day - the day when you and I made an agreement for the second half of the year. The late emperor hoped that I could do my best to assist the prince in the future, but Ting Yun, a traveler, can't be willing to be trapped In a corner of the palace. It was because I was unwilling that the late emperor threatened the lives of the whole family. I had no choice but to delay it for a year. I hope that a solution can be found within this year, and you are the solution I found. "

Lian Ying looked straight at Shi Yu, and tried his best to ignore the shock and slight pain in his eyes. Although he had this intention at first, it was more because of his admiration and... love for Shi Yu. It is said that he stayed by Shi Yu's side to assist him entirely to achieve his hegemony, otherwise he would not have refused before.

As for the Duanmu clan, he will think of a way. Even if he misses this opportunity, he may be able to save the Duanmu clan after he assists Shi Yu to succeed in succession, and then operate secretly from the side, but it will not be as easy as it is now.

"But right now, nothing is more important than your... great cause."

Lian Ying murmured softly, maybe this is loving someone, loving someone is unconsciously putting him in the most important position, unconsciously thinking of him, even if the final outcome will be broken...

After the words fell, Lian Ying bowed his head, but felt Shi Yu's palm gently covering his side face, and then heard Shi Yu's faint voice with a little warmth: "If I am your solution, then I I will try my best, if you don't want to talk about this matter, then I will not pursue it, but I hope...in the future, you will not keep it from me, no matter what, I will bear it with you. "

Oh, take it together?Such a heavy promise, but Shi Yu, can you not say such words, he is afraid that he will become more and more greedy, and in the end no matter how heavy the promise is, it will not be able to bear the overflowing love. Will you still be willing to bear it with me?
