Xichen was very young when he followed the prince. If he was Long Mujiang's man at that time, one can imagine how scheming Long Mujiang was.
From the moment he agreed to be with Long Musijiang, he had thought that he might never see Long Mujiang's true appearance, but even if it was like this, he still decided to be with Long Mujiang.
He never minded Long Mujiang because of this, and he always treated Long Mujiang with a sincere heart.
But in the end, Long Mujiang betrayed him and chose the supreme power.
"I thought you were just joking when you left, but I didn't expect it to be true." Xu Tianze smiled bitterly and let go of Long Musi's hand.
Since Xichen is here, and there was no snow on the dead tree just now, this courtyard might have been surrounded long ago.
Even the entire Xu Mansion has been besieged by Long Mujiang. It is simply impossible for them to escape under this circumstance.
"Master knows that Xichen never lies." Xichen stood quietly at the door with a faint smile on his face.
It was just like a normal joke, saying some insignificant things, but in fact, it directly blocked Xu Tianze and Long Musi's last way of retreat.
Long Musi didn't feel anything at first, but when Xu Tianze let go of his hand, he felt lost. The warmth that was within reach finally left his palm.
He suppressed the bitterness in his heart and looked around: "Second brother is still so shameless. He is clearly sure of victory, is it possible that he is still unwilling to come out and see?"
"Haha, my royal brother still loves to tell jokes. Since we are sure of victory, why can't we meet?" Long Mujiang appeared from the main gate of the courtyard.
He first glanced at Xu Tianze, then glanced inconspicuously at the hands of Xu Tianze and Long Muse that had already separated, and finally looked at Long Muse.
"The prince has left. Would you like to do it yourself, or should your elder brother do it for you?" Long Mujiang crossed his arms with a relaxed smile on his face.
"There's no need for my Royal Brother to do this, but I'm a little curious. How can you be so sure that Aze would bring me here?"
After Long Musi finished speaking, he put his hands behind his back, looking as if he was determined to die.
The secret passages in the palace are like a maze, and the exits in Shangjing City are as dense as an ant hole. If Long Mujiang was not absolutely sure, he would never appear here.
Long Musi knew his second brother well. If he was not sure whether he and Aze would appear here, he would only send people to guard instead of going there in person.
When Xu Tianze heard Long Musi's question, he held his breath and waited for Long Mujiang's answer. He was also surprised that Long Mujiang would appear here.
You know, even if Xichen told Long Mujiang the entrance to the secret passage, there was no way to determine whether he would leave through this exit.
Because even he himself didn't know which exit he would come out of. The reason why he took this way was simply because the secret passage that Long Musi took last was closer to this exit.
"Hahaha, what if I say that the exit that Xichen guided me to at the beginning was actually something I did on purpose?" Long Mujiang laughed heartily.
His laughter was filled with his pride and the knowledge that he had everything under control.
"What do you mean?" Long Musi glanced at Xichen behind him and frowned.
"The meaning is very simple. The secret passage that Xichen took the prince and Xu Tianze through at the beginning was designed by me. Do you understand?" Long Mujiang stared at Long Musi leisurely.
There are so many secret passages under the palace, so of course he has to prevent anyone from escaping his control. So when the prince asked Xichen to dig a secret passage, he specifically asked Xichen to open the secret passage in Xu Mansion.
This is so that in the end, when necessary, all exits except Xu Mansion will be sealed directly, and then we will be trapped.
The reason why he sent the pursuers through the secret passage was simply to occupy all the entrances to the palace so that Xu Tianze and Long Musi would not be able to leave through other entrances of the palace.
They could only leave through the only exit of Xu Mansion, but Long Mujiang didn't expect them to come out so soon.
Because according to Long Mujiang's estimation, Xu Tianze and Long Musi would have to wander around in the secret passage for at least a few days before leaving through the exit of Xu Mansion.
He brought people here now just to make some follow-up arrangements to prevent any mistakes from happening at this only exit.
Who knew that after just a short while, he heard a slight movement at the exit of the secret passage, so he led his men out directly to see if the person had come out.
I think it was thanks to the blessing of his wise and shrewd father that they finally came out directly, saving him from waiting for several days.
"Okay, okay, my royal brother is still so good at scheming. I really admire you." Long Musi smiled and clapped his hands, then raised his foot to walk towards Long Mujiang.
"What are you going to do? Even if you die in vain, I won't shed a tear." Xu Tianze directly grabbed Long Muse's arm and motioned Long Muse to look around.
The surrounding city walls were already covered with archers. If Long Muse made any unusual movement, he would be shot into a sieve in an instant.
And this idiot actually wanted to provoke Long Mujiang. What's the difference between this and wasting his own life?
Long Musi paused, then looked helplessly at Xu Tianze who was pulling him. Sometimes things require an unexpected response, and once interrupted, there will be no chance again.
So he gave up the plan to rush towards Long Mujiang, and instead looked at Xu Tianze seriously.
"Aze, my aunt is dead, my brother the crown prince is dead, and Xiaoliu is gone. In just a few months, there is no one around me anymore." Long Musi smiled and held the hand that was pulling his sleeve.
"At the beginning, I always thought that power was the most important thing. As a member of the royal family, I was destined to be a cold-blooded person, so I would calculate everyone around me."
"No matter how much blood is on my hands, I never care. That's why I abandon you again and again."
As Long Musi smiled, tears kept sliding down from the corners of his eyes, then dripped into the silver frost on the ground and disappeared.
Yes, he always knew what he was doing and what he wanted, and he kept working hard for his goals.
No matter what others say, he has never felt that he was wrong. Even now, he does not feel that there is anything wrong with what he has done. Life is about constantly making various choices.
In the end, you will have to bear all kinds of consequences.
"But you know what, Aze? I regret it."
