Seeing a bloodstain on Li Changtian's neck, Yan Shu panicked for a moment: "Li Changtian! Sit back and don't move!"
Li Changtian also felt the pain in his neck. When he wiped his neck, his hands were covered with blood, his eyes were red from the pain, and he started to sob again.
He gave Yan Shu an aggrieved look, then flinched back into the grand master's chair.
Yan Shu's heart seemed to be clenched tightly by dry claws, his breathing was not smooth, his chest heaved, and he wished he could immediately step forward to protect Li Changtian behind him.
Qin Jueming had never seen Yan Shu so flustered and impulsive, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart. He looked at Han Ya and pretended to say calmly: "Han Wangye, the emperor has not seen Han Wangye for many days, and he misses the blood thicker than water." As dearest relatives, I am ordered by the emperor to come to Baidi City and ask the prince to return to the capital, and hope that the prince will not make things difficult for us."
Han Ya slightly loosened the silver thread around Li Changtian's neck, picked up the teacup unhurriedly, took a sip, and said, "Captain Qin, I really haven't seen you for many years. If you do the math, you can go to Shuofang with nine years."
Qin Jueming said: "The villain's name is unknown, but he is fortunate enough to let Prince Han remember his name. I really feel sincere and terrified."
Han Ya smiled and said, "Qin Dudu is really humble. Nine years ago, Qin Dudu resolutely and ruthlessly opposed the old man. I can still vividly remember it."
Qin Jueming didn't panic in the slightest, and said: "Your Majesty Han is just joking, how dare I fight against His Majesty Han when I'm an unknown person? You are a regent prince who can discern the truth. Back then, you were worried about the country and worked tirelessly to assist the emperor in dealing with the affairs of the court. I still remember that power invaded the government and the public. You are not like those despicable villains who held great power in ancient times and were all treacherous officials. But in the end, these people can only end up with nothing left. what will happen to you, Prince Han, what do you think?"
Han Ya smiled, slowly put the celadon teacup on the coffee table, and said, "I have heard that the governor of Qin Dynasty is righteous and proficient in laws and regulations. If you dare to ask the governor, how much crime is it that I obey the law and kill the royal family without authorization?"
Qin Jueming paused and said, "Wait a minute."
"Ah..." Han Ya nodded, "First class, Zhu Jiu Clan, although Mr. Qin has lived in Shuofang for a long time, but now the Qin family is prosperous. Before I left Baidi City, I heard that your eldest brother is happy to have a grandson. Boy, do you know if Governor Qin knows about this?"
Qin Jueming frowned.
"Although the governor of Qin wants to kill me, can he really do it?" Han Ya was not reserved, and he pointed it out directly, and said slowly, "Or does the governor of Qin think that the emperor can keep you? Now that the court is in turmoil, all officials Everyone has their own concerns, do you think that under the pressure of my henchmen, the emperor can really keep you? You know, the current foreign aggression is invaded by alien races, and internal troubles are caused by factional struggles. The emperor can't even protect himself!"
Han Ya stood up slowly, looked around, and sneered: "I don't know what you can do to me if you rush into this place in a hurry? Hey, little friend, it's not a gentleman's behavior to do small things in private."
Han Ya suddenly approached Li Changtian step by step, and suddenly took out a dagger from his wide cuff, across the yellow wooden coffee table, straightened his arm, and pressed the sharp edge of the dagger against Li Changtian's throat.
It turned out that just now when Han Ya and Qin Jueming were mocking each other, Li Changtian quietly took off the silver thread around his neck.
Although he moved very lightly and carefully, Han Ya found out the moment he took it down.
"Woooooo, don't hit me, don't hit me." Li Changtian sobbed in fear.
Han Ya was tired of the crying, so he couldn't help using a little force on his hand, and the place where the dagger blade touched the side of Li Changtian's neck, bloody red beads suddenly appeared.
Yan Shu's eyes shrank suddenly, his whole body was stiff, and his heart was pierced like a knife. He stared at the dagger on Li Changtian's neck, a little out of breath.
Qin Jueming opened his mouth: "Prince Han doesn't have to be like this. You also said that killing the royal family is a serious crime against the nine families. Of course, no one among us would dare to touch you."
Han Ya sneered: "The governor of Qin is willing to offer advice to me now? You don't need to say more, even if I go back to the capital, I can still protect myself wisely, but I don't want to go back. The world is not only Beidi and the Central Plains, I have my own. place."
Thinking about it, Han Ya is such a scheming person, how could he not have thought of the worst outcome after playing a single move for fourteen years, and how could he not have prepared himself a way out.
Han Ya said: "I originally wanted to find a subordinate, to steal someone's name and exchange posts for the real one, but I didn't know that I didn't find it. I just ran into this little friend by accident. I heard that this little friend has a lot of connections with Yan Shu, the young minister of Dali Temple. Besides, Yan Shu is your adoptive son of the Governor of Qin, so if this is the case, let me use this little friend's friendship to open the way, I don't know the Governor of Qin, will you give me some accommodation?"
As he said that, Han Ya made another three-pointer with his hands.
This time, Li Changtian's side neck was no longer just a bead of blood, the scarlet blood trickled down his already scarred neck, staining his clothes red.
Yan Shu felt cold all over his body, and his shoulders trembled slightly. He closed his eyes, clenched his hands into fists, and dug his nails into his palms, making the place red with blood.
This is really a dead end.
If Han Ya is not released, how can Li Changtian survive
But are you really going to let Han Ya leave like nothing happened
Just like what Han Ya said, the world is bigger than the Central Plains and Beidi. After Han Ya escaped like this, it would be even more difficult to catch him again.
After Han Ya finished asking, the hall fell into a silence where you could hear a needle drop.
After a long time, there was finally a helpless sigh.
Qin Jueming said: "I let you go, but you must let him go."
Han Ya smiled coldly: "Okay, it's a deal."
As soon as he finished speaking, several Jackdaw Assassins appeared in the darkness behind him. Han Ya gestured to the Jackdaw Assassins, telling them to come forward and hold Li Changtian hostage for him.
Han Ya got the power, so he couldn't help being a little proud. He glanced at Li Changtian and saw Li Changtian shivering there, trembling because of fear, the wound on his neck was widened by the dagger, looking pitiful and pathetic.
Han Ya couldn't help but "tsk tsk" twice, thinking in his heart that he couldn't let him die now, so he took the dagger away from Li Changtian's neck.
At this moment, Li Changtian looked up.
His eyes collided with Han Ya's in the air.
Han Ya saw that those blood-red eyes, like those of trapped beasts, were not stupid, they were clearly only rebellious, ruthless, and fearless! ! !
Pillow your sword and drink your gall, knock your heart and weep your blood, and there will be a day when the tiger comes out of the cage.
Han Ya was startled, and immediately clenched the dagger and stabbed it at Li Changtian's neck again!
But it's too late.
In an instant, Li Changtian had already grasped Han Ya's wrist, stopped him from exerting his strength, and twisted his arm violently, pressing him firmly on the coffee table!
All the celadon wares on the coffee table fell to the ground, and the tea and fragments splashed together, shocking the hearts of everyone present.
The Jackdaw Assassin took two steps forward suddenly, then stopped immediately, not daring to move lightly.
Li Changtian tightly twisted Han Ya's arm with one hand, and held the dagger he took just now against Han Ya's throat with the other, and said in a calm tone, "We've waited until this moment."
Han Ya smiled instead of anger: "Little friend, I really underestimated you. You are the same as the princess who knew how to resist back then. I was surprised. After all, the princess taught me well."
Seeing that Han Ya dared to mention Li Qiushui, Li Changtian was immediately overwhelmed with anger. He clenched the wooden handle of the dagger tightly, and his eyes turned blood red instantly, full of killing intent.
"Li Changtian! Wait!!!"
Suddenly a call sounded, immediately calming down Li Changtian a lot.
That was Yan Shu's voice.
"Brother Changtian." Qin Jueming also hurriedly said, "Don't be impulsive, this matter should not be yours, Han Ya is quite powerful in the capital, there are many evil parties, I am afraid that someone will retaliate against you, and After all, he is the royal family, he is the emperor's uncle, even if he is the emperor, he can't take his life at will, if you kill him, you will bear the responsibility of killing the royal family without authorization! You will be punished by the nine clans!"
Li Changtian held the dagger against Han Ya's throat while listening to Qin Jueming's advice quietly.
He took two deep breaths, forcing himself to calm down.
Then he was no longer angry, no longer furious.
He has a clear mind and knows exactly what he is doing.
Li Changtian raised his head and said to Qin Jueming: "Lord Qin, I don't have any Nine Clans anymore. My only sister passed away a few days ago."
After finishing speaking, Li Changtian slit Han Ya's throat with a dagger.
In the chilling decision, there is peace.
"Well… "
Han Ya's eyes widened, he covered his neck, which was gushing blood, and slowly fell down.
After tasting the instinctive fear of death in his bones, his expression became calm, his eyes gradually lost focus, and he muttered two names absently.
A dead wife, a beloved daughter.
But he doesn't believe in retribution, he doesn't believe in hell, and he doesn't believe in reincarnation.
Han Ya fell heavily to the ground, unable to breathe.
The hall was once again plunged into a silent silence.
Different from the previous silence where the swords were drawn, the silence of the crowd this time was more like the hasty end of the curtain after a vigorous and sonorous singing success or failure. Apart from silence, I really don't know how to react.
Li Changtian stood there calmly, he was bathed in blood, the blood was his own and others', the tea tables and chairs around him were overturned, and the broken porcelain tea leaves were soaked in the pool of blood, making a mess.
Li Changtian suddenly felt weak and tired, and the wounds on his wrists, ankles, neck, and body all ached violently.
He raised his head slightly, full of helplessness, the bewilderment and incongruity he had just entered into this world occupied his heart, and the uneasiness due to helplessness overflowed his chest.
He stood there, but just standing there seemed to have expended all his strength and will.
At this moment, Li Changtian heard hurried footsteps.
Just as he was about to look up, he was suddenly pulled by someone's arm and fell into a warm embrace.
That hug is like a fire in the cold winter, and it's like a tug after drowning.
When he was about to die, he encountered a warm spring in the world, and since then he has sobered up and can no longer live alone.
Yan Shu hugged Li Changtian tightly, stroked his hair gently, and said in a distressed tone, "Don't think about it, it's fine."
Li Changtian smiled, reluctantly.
He said: "Yan Shu, I'm not stupid now, you don't have to comfort me like this anymore, I can't cry now."
Yan Shu lightly pressed Li Changtian's head down so that his forehead could rest on his shoulder.
Yan Shu said softly, "You can cry, even if you're not stupid, you can cry."
With just one word, Li Changtian's originally stiff and tense body suddenly trembled.
He slowly stretched out his hand, hugged Yan Shu tightly, and buried his whole body in Yan Shu's arms, biting his mouth tightly, choking with pain and almost dying.
Li Changtian said: "Yanshu, my sister is gone, she is gone, I said to leave, and I promised her that I will take good care of her."
Yan Shu didn't speak, he hugged Li Changtian tightly and listened quietly.
Li Changtian was trembling all over, in grief.
But he stubbornly did not shed tears after all.
