Facing Long Xiaoli's cautiousness and contemplation, Long Xiaonan still maintains a gentle and generous attitude: "If Brother Dahuang can turn back when he is lost, I can give you a chance to make a contribution."
"Did you commit crimes and make meritorious service?" Long Xiaoli raised her head and laughed again as if she had heard such a good joke: "This prince is guilty of killing his father and the king, and I am afraid that killing the nine clans is not enough to atone for it. Now you Come to tell this prince that you have committed crimes and made meritorious deeds? Hehe... Fifth brother, you are the emperor as well."
Long Xiaoli's last words still carried undisguised sarcasm. He used to be so high, but suddenly fell into a field that was not as good as a beggar. It was more uncomfortable than killing him. If he continued to be imprisoned here again, he would rather die straight away. .
In short, facing the fifth younger brother in front of him who he had never paid attention to, and now the king of a country with more than 10,000 people, Long Xiaoli has a desperate posture of smashing the jar.
"Indeed, the law is nothing more than human feelings. What you have committed is a crime of treason and immorality. If I tolerate you, it will be nothing more than arousing resistance and dissatisfaction from the civil and military forces of the court, and will be criticized by all the people, but... so what?" Long Xiao South Africa But he didn't mind, and seemed to agree with what he said, but the last words were hesitant to speak.
Inexplicably feeling that his intentional or unintentional hesitation to speak was somewhat harsh, Long Xiaoli squinted her eyes, trying to see something from his usual elegant face.
Sensing Long Xiaoli's scrutinizing gaze, Long Xiaonan slightly hooked his lower lip, squatted down, and changed from condescending to Long Xiaoli who was leaning against the stone pillar, looking at him at the same level: "Brother Dahuang has been a frog at the bottom of this well for several months. , it should be because you still don’t know what changes have taken place in the outside world, right?”
"What do you mean?" Long Xiaoli frowned, faintly having a bad premonition.
"The meaning is very simple..." Long Xiaonan stood up quietly, his tone seemed ordinary and gentle, but there seemed to be a sense of strategizing between the lines: "Our Jialuo unified the entire continent with the power of one country, in other words, now the entire Mingyue There is only one ruler in the mainland."
He didn't say the whole thing, but the intuitive meaning was enough to stimulate Long Xiaoli.
Continent unified? Under the leadership of Long Xiaonan, Mingyue Continent was unified
Long Xiaoli's eyes suddenly widened, and disbelief was written in his eyes: "No, it's impossible, my master—"
"Master?" Long Xiaonan suddenly interrupted him: "You're talking about the Gu King Leng Nanzi? You should have known that battle back then. If you hadn't secretly colluded with Leng Nanzi to collude with the enemy and betray the country, how could I, Jia Luo, be in the short-term battle?" Within a short period of time, he was forced to be in danger by Qinglan Country and Nanfeng Country... It's a pity that the Gu King who was once feared by people was also vulnerable, and ended up in the wilderness. The relevant forces were all destroyed overnight, after such a shocking battle, do you think that battle is still a threat to me, Jialuo?"
Long Xiaoli's face froze immediately.
The amount of information that Long Xiaonan gave was the result that he never thought would happen. Even during the period of being locked up here, he was lucky for a while, holding a glimmer of hope—
After Leng Nanzi used Gu to control Qinglan Country and Nanfeng Country to win the battle, he would come to find him, and then he... No, there is no such thing anymore.
Who would have thought that once the fantasy was beautiful, the cruelty of reality had already destroyed it to nothing.
The little hope left in his heart was also extinguished by Long Xiaonan's appearance today, Long Xiaoli let out a soft snort, with a self-mockery that he had never had before.
Long Xiaonan took the change in Long Xiaoli's expression into his eyes, and finally opened his mouth slowly: "The imperial court and the rivers and lakes have always been in harmony with each other, so neither I nor my father who was still in power at that time, could not be separated overnight. In a short time, several major forces in the Jianghu were destroyed, but someone did it easily, who do you think this person would be?"
Long Xiaoli didn't speak, but from his dark and deep eyes, it's not hard to see who he is thinking about.
Long Xiaonan smiled gently, as if knowing what he meant, he murmured: "Accordingly speaking, there is nothing wrong with giving the throne to Brother Sanhuang, but Brother Sanhuang has been elusive since he was a child, and no one knows who he is. I don't know what he wants... Maybe he has ambitions, or maybe he has never thought of participating in the struggle for imperial power, but no matter what, we all know that he has been inexplicably strong these years, so powerful that it is dreadful , so strong that even the emperor can't do anything about him..."
Hearing Long Xiaonan's words with unknown mentality, Long Xiaoli couldn't help but sneered: "What? You want to deal with him?"
Long Xiaonan paused slightly.
Before he could open his mouth, Long Xiaoli sneered again with "I understand deeply": "It's just you and me here, so there's no need to hide it. After all, in a high position, the most feared thing is threats. Even now You are above ten thousand people, the king of the world, and that is no exception... No, you should be deeply afraid now, afraid of falling from a high position, just like me, there will be no day to recover."
As if thinking that Long Xiaoli had misunderstood her meaning, Long Xiaonan straightened his face, and solemnly reminded: "Brother, be careful! Not everyone is like you. For the sake of power, you can ignore family affection and go to Climbing up, not to mention that Brother Sanhuang is your brother and foot, just the contribution he has silently made for Jia Luo and the unification of the world today, these are far beyond comparison between you and me... I will tell you clearly today , even if Brother Sanhuang wants the world today, I will give it to him without hesitation."
Long Xiaonan was a bit surprised that Long Xiaonan would say such words with a correct accent, as if they were not adulterated at all, but he asked himself why he had been struggling in the court and the opposition for many years, and he had seen so many intrigues, Conspiracy calculations, at this moment, he would never believe that Long Xiaonan really has any brotherhood for Long Xiaoyu in his heart.
After all, today is different.
Long Xiaoli's heart is like a mirror that has seen through everything, but on the surface, he looks like he sees through and doesn't say anything: "Tell me, how do you want me to take the blame and make meritorious deeds?"
Since Long Xiaonan wanted to save his life, how could he not spare his life
Although this life may be very embarrassing, as long as his life is still alive, then he has the possibility of making a comeback, Long Xiaoli thought in his heart.
Long Xiaonan didn't say anything more clearly to him, he threw a key to unlock the chain at Long Xiaoli's feet, and then pointed to a small hole overgrown with weeds not far away.
Before Long Xiaonan could say anything, when he saw what he was pointing at, Long Xiaoli, who was holding the key to open the chain under his feet, suddenly exploded: "Let me get out of the dog hole?!"
He has been locked here for several months, how could he not know about the dog hole? Could it be that someone threw three steamed buns in that dog hole on time every day, which made him survive so far.
He endured being imprisoned here for several months while lingering on his last breath, but now that he was finally able to go out, he had to go through a dog hole to get out, it was simply unbearable!
Facing Long Xiaoli's repeated transgressions and offenses, Long Xiaonan still maintained an attitude of indifference, he said indifferently: "Go out from there to the back mountain, there are people outside to meet you, he will guide you what to do."
Long Xiaoli sullenly stared fixedly at Long Xiaonan, as if she wanted him to give an explanation.
But Long Xiaonan ignored him and left with his sleeves.
Before turning around to leave, Long Xiaonan seemed to think of something again, and reminded: "Although the dynasty has changed now, and I have given you a way out, but what you have done before and the crimes you have committed are still unacceptable. I advise Brother Da Huang to take advantage of this opportunity, rehabilitate and serve the country."
Behind him, Long Xiaoli gritted his teeth, and squeezed out the words word by word from the gap between his teeth. The words he spoke were full of respect: "The emperor's kindness is so great that he has kept the minister alive, and the minister should serve the emperor to the best of his ability. No hesitation."
Staring darkly at the stone gate where Long Xiaonan disappeared for a long while, Long Xiaoli spat hard, then reluctantly dragged his embarrassed and powerless body out of the dog's hole.
The cave returned to silence, and the husband and wife who were hiding behind a certain stone pillar came out.
"What do you think Long Xiaonan is thinking? He can let such a disaster like Long Xiaoli magnanimously let go, isn't it too kind?" Mu Ziling looked at the dog hole that Long Xiaoli had just entered. Uzumaki said in bewilderment.
"It's just recycling." Long Xiaoyu's answer was very simple and straightforward.
Mu Ziling was even more puzzled: "Long Xiaoli's previous crimes, as he said, killing the nine clans are not enough to atone for the sins. How can such a person be of value? Besides, Long Xiaonangui is the king of a country. Who can't be ordered? Why did I choose Long Xiaoli, and what's more... Long Xiaonan's words just now, why did I faintly feel that there was something wrong? Especially when he mentioned you, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it , with a very righteous and dignified look of friendship, but something is wrong..."
Long Xiaoyu took her hand and interrupted her thoughts: "It's all irrelevant, don't think about it."
"Isn't it important?" Mu Ziling curled her lips, and looked sideways at Long Xiaoyu with "you have something to hide from me".
"You... let's talk when we go back, huh?" Long Xiaoyu sighed helplessly, then led her, turned the stone door mechanism, and returned the same way.
When the two of them walked to the concave wall where Mu Ziling's portrait was hung, Long Xiaoyu raised his hand involuntarily, intending to destroy the portrait.
"Don't—" Mu Ziling subconsciously wanted to stop it.
But she just uttered a word, and Long Xiaoyu's eyes fell on her.
Obviously his gaze was very gentle, but Mu Ziling was inexplicably terrified of being stared at, she quickly changed her words: "I said don't destroy it directly, I have a way to let it be destroyed naturally, the kind that can't find any clues."
As she said that, without waiting for Long Xiaoyu to react, she quickly took out a medicine bottle from the star system, sprinkled the colorless and odorless powder on the portrait, and then added: "Okay, this painting It is only a matter of time before it is destroyed, I guarantee that when Long Xiaonan comes next time, he will definitely not be able to appreciate the beauty of this girl."
Seeing her narcissistic appearance in the end, Long Xiaoyu's already gentle eyes softened and softened, he raised his hand and rubbed her head: "That's good... let's go, go home."
