Why is this?
Thinking of this, he did not act rashly.
……
At the same time, Zhuyou Xiaozhuzhong.
"That's it. In order to avenge the prince, I tried every means to kill Li Xiao, but I didn't expect that I lost because of a bad move." Lin Yang said slowly with a vicissitudes on his face.
Liu Ruohan covered her small mouth, with a shocked expression on her face: "It turns out that Uncle Lin's experience is so shocking."
After a pause, she went on to say: "But why bother? When will the grievance be repaid? Besides, Li Xiao didn't do anything wrong..."
Chapter 336: "The Truth"
Hearing this, Lin Yang frowned instantly, and said puzzledly: "Miss, what are you talking about? He has hurt the prince so badly, and then brought the lady here. He obviously has evil intentions. This person is clearly a heinous villain. You Why do you still have to speak for him?"
Liu Ruohan said in a deep voice: "Uncle Lin, you don't know that father and Li Xiao have no grievances at all, it is the eldest grandson Wuji, and it is because of him that my father insists on putting Li Xiao to death."
"Yes, Dad was imprisoned because of his failure to assassinate Li Xiao, but Li Xiao was only out of self-protection."
"Once upon a time, he had the chance to kill me and dad, but he didn't."
"Confused!"
Lin Yang interrupted Liu Ruohan's words, and scolded: "No matter what, the prince is the king of Hejian County, he has the blood of the royal family, and he has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty."
"No matter what wrong things the prince has done, it is nothing compared to the achievements of the prince."
"Let me ask, would the royal family dare to kill such a great hero?"
"It's not that Li Xiao doesn't want to do anything, it's that he doesn't dare to do it!"
"He just used this as an excuse to confuse you."
Speaking of this, Lin Yang's expression froze, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said coldly: "There is more!"
"You also know that there is no grievance between the prince and Li Xiao, so why did he still attack Li Xiao?"
"With the means of the prince, how could it be impossible to kill a mere child of how old?"
"But why do you fail every time you are about to succeed?"
"Have you ever thought about this?"
After saying these words, Liu Ruohan only felt confused, she murmured: "It was Changsun Wuji who provoked..."
"But who is Changsun Wuji?" Lin Yang went on to say, "He is the uncle of the dynasty and a confidant around Li Shimin. Why did he let the prince assassinate Li Xiao? How dare he?"
"You mean..." Liu Ruohan suddenly woke up and said in shock, "It's Your Majesty..."
"Ugh……"
Lin Yang sighed suddenly, and said: "At the beginning, I advised the lord to be more restrained. Looking at the long history, which courtier with great achievements will end well?"
"The moment I was transferred away, I expected the day when the prince would have a catastrophe."
"I didn't expect that this day really came..."
"But it doesn't seem to have anything to do with Li Xiao..." Liu Ruohan frowned and said with a puzzled expression.
Lin Yang looked deeply, and said slowly: "At first, I thought the same as you, killing him was just to ask Li Shimin for some interest."
After a pause, he frowned, and continued: "It was only later that I wanted to understand the truth of this matter."
"What truth?" Liu Ruohan asked with a confused face.
……
at the same time.
Chang'an City, Imperial Palace Imperial Study Room.
Li Er's face was full of vicissitudes and exhaustion, and he looked out of the window in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
At this time, Fang Xuanling came in, and after saluting, he said respectfully: "Your Majesty, what are your orders for summoning the minister?"
"Has the person sent to Qiongzhou to inquire about the news returned?" Li Er asked blankly without looking back.
"No, judging from the time, if there is any news, it should have arrived two days ago." Fang Xuanling said with a serious face.
"He is venting his dissatisfaction with me..."
Li Er closed his eyes and sighed faintly.
"The king of Yue is smart, and one day he will understand His Majesty's hard work."
"Qizhou has been broken, how long can this broken mountain and river last? I... can I wait for him?"
Fang Xuanling said slowly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, my ministers are always right in judging people. Although the king of Yue is a bit more serious, he is by no means disloyal or unfilial. If the Tang Dynasty is in trouble, he will take action. Maybe it's just that he lacks a Timing. Once His Royal Highness the King of Yue comes out of the mountain, he will easily resolve the crisis of Tang Dynasty."
"His talent is ten or a hundred times better than mine. I have no doubts about that." Li Er nodded.
Fang Xuanling said: "Being able to easily defuse Li Xiaogong's several assassinations and defeat Li Xiaogong, His Royal Highness King Yue has perfectly passed His Majesty's test."
Speaking of this, Fang Xuanling sighed: "Such a talented child is actually a child who is not yet ten years old. This is a gift from the heavens to my Tang Dynasty. I believe that as long as the King of Yue is still here, I will be protected." There is no doubt that the great Tang Dynasty will never decline.”
"Okay, let's not talk about this." Li Er took a deep breath and continued, "Where is the prince? Where is he now?"
"I don't know what happened. The prince led troops from Jizhou, but failed to support them before the city of Qizhou was destroyed. Now, His Royal Highness has led troops back to Jizhou." After thinking about it, Fang Xuanling said.
"Not enough successes, more than failures! Compared with Xiao'er, Ke'er is too far behind." An angry look flashed across Li Er's face, and then he sighed softly, "Oh, let's go down!"
"Yes!"
Just as Fang Xuanling was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something and asked again: "Your Majesty, I have always had a question in my mind."
"speak!"
"Dongpu's sudden attack has something to do with Li Xiaogong?"
"Why do you say that?"
"Before the outbreak of the national war, Princess Dongying had an inextricable relationship with Li Xiaogong. Not long after Li Xiaogong was imprisoned, Dongying launched an attack..."
Li Er frowned: "Leave this matter to your Privy Council, you must check it out!"
"As ordered!"
Fang Xuanling resigned.
……
Qiongzhou City, Zhuyou Xiaozhu.
Lin Yang's eyes were deep, and he said in a deep voice: "I only realized it after seeing Li Xiao's various strange methods..."
"The truth is, Li Shimin already knew that Li Xiao is not comparable to an ordinary prince, but Li Xiao is a very deep-rooted person, and he didn't tell Li Shimin all about his true situation."
"So, the prince assassinated Li Xiao several times later."
"First of all, it's because the lord is so powerful and powerful. Li Shimin is afraid, so he wants to use this to get rid of the lord."
"At the same time, this is also a trial and test for Li Xiao."
"and many more!"
Liu Ruohan interrupted Lin Yang, and asked puzzledly: "Three years ago, Li Xiao was dismissed by civil and military officials, and then he was exiled to this desolate Qiongzhou by the emperor. It can be seen that the emperor does not like Li Xiao."
"You're wrong again." Lin Yang said in a deep voice, "Exile is fake, but protection is real."
"Just to ask, even the prince fell into Li Xiao's hands, which is enough to show that Li Xiao's abilities and methods are extraordinary. If I were Li Shimin, I would definitely hold Li Xiao in my hands as a treasure."
After a pause, Lin Yang continued: "At that time, Turks and Dongying launched a large-scale war against Datang at the same time, Li Shimin probably expected that Datang was not an opponent of the two countries at this time, so he wanted to hide his treasure. "
"It's not difficult to see this. If Li Shimin hates or doesn't like Li Xiao, he will be dispatched to the northern border of the Tang Dynasty or other places, but Li Xiao came to Qiongzhou, which is the closest to the battlefield. Far Qiongzhou."
"This is to buy him time so that he can grow up as soon as possible!"
"So it's like this..." Liu Ruohan suddenly realized, "I didn't expect that such a simple matter of distribution to Qiongzhou would hide so many right and wrong. These people who play with power are too scary."
"Miss, don't you understand?" Lin Yang said earnestly, "The prince's enemy is that emperor. And Li Xiao is that emperor's treasure. revenge."
"So, do you still want to face him?"
Hearing this, Liu Ruohan panicked and nervous for no reason.
This result was unexpected and difficult for her to accept.
After struggling in her heart for a long time, she gritted her teeth and said, "Actually, the Emperor of Tang Dynasty did not wrong his father."
Chapter 337: I have a plan
"What did you say?!"
Lin Yang was surprised, his eyes fixed on Liu Ruohan.
He couldn't believe that such words would come out of Liu Ruohan's mouth.
But Liu Ruohan said sadly: "Uncle Lin, you should have heard the news. When I returned to the capital, I was the princess of Dongying..."
"Not pretending?"
Lin Yang frowned, and his eyes were full of confusion.
"I'm not pretending, I'm the princess of Dongying Kingdom..."
Liu Ruohan sighed, and said slowly: "I was born in Dongying since I was a child, and then I returned to Datang. It was also at that time that I met Uncle Lin, and then..."
"Then you suddenly disappeared, what happened?" Lin Yang asked urgently.
"I... Uncle Lin, it's better not to ask." Liu Ruohan said with a painful face, "I promised my father that I will not tell anyone about this matter."
"Then, does the lord really have an inextricable relationship with Dongying?" Lin Yang's brows gradually twisted into the word "Chuan".
"If... I mean if..." Liu Ruohan looked at Lin Yang with a painful expression, and said softly, "If my father really colludes with Dongying and has evil intentions, will Uncle Lin still be loyal to my father?"
Hearing this, Lin Yang said categorically: "My life was saved by the lord, and I was able to achieve what I am today, and it was also given by the lord. I will risk my life to save the lord. I want to hear his confession personally." .”
"What if he admits it himself?" Liu Ruohan continued to ask.
"This is impossible!"
Lin Yang shook his head resolutely and said, "How could the prince do such a traitorous thing? I don't believe it!"
"With Uncle Lin's words, I feel relieved, and I don't believe that Dad would do such a thing, unless there are some unspeakable difficulties." Liu Ruohan smiled bitterly, and whispered.
At this moment, Lin Yang's mind was very confused, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "Anyway, let's save the prince first."
"It's too difficult..." Liu Ruohan murmured with sadness on his face, "We can't protect ourselves, so why go to Chang'an to save father?"
"I have a plan!"
Lin Yang's face became serious in an instant, and he said in a deep voice, "As long as Miss is willing to cooperate, it will not be difficult to leave Qiongzhou."
"How to cooperate?"
Liu Ruohan opened her beautiful eyes wide, full of anticipation.
"First of all, according to my observation these days, Qiongzhou's strength is far beyond my imagination."
"Even, apart from what's on the surface, there should be unknown and terrifying power hidden behind Li Xiao."
There seemed to be thousands of thoughts in Lin Yang's eyes, thinking: "There are a group of good cannon fodder in the cell that can be used, but they alone are not enough."
"The most important point is that I need the detailed situation of Qiongzhou City and the hidden power of Qiongzhou City. Only by figuring out these can I have a chance to leave here."
"What does Uncle Lin want me to do?" Liu Ruohan asked quickly.
"Get close to Li Xiao, numb his vigilance, let him relax his vigilance towards you, so that you can take the opportunity to collect information, and then try to pass it on to me." Lin Yang said with a serious face.
"What about after that?" Liu Ruohan frowned slightly, "Will you kill Li Xiao?"
Hearing this, Lin Yang narrowed his eyes slightly, but gradually opened them again, and said in a deep voice, "Since Miss wants to show mercy to Li Xiao, then Uncle Lin will not hurt him."
"If the plan goes well and we escape from Qiongzhou, I will contact the prince's former subordinates, gather strength, and rescue the prince in one go."
"So good?"
Having said that, Lin Yang stared at Liu Ruohan thoughtfully.
"I...how do I get close to him?" Liu Ruohan had a sad face on his face, "I don't want to be like what the outside world said at all. In fact, he doesn't have the slightest idea of me."
"Miss, I'm also a man. I understand a man's heart very well. If he didn't have any compassion for you, he wouldn't let you live here freely." Lin Yang said with deep eyes.
