Chapter 173 Jin丨Exclusive release by Jiang Wenxue

Xue Chen: [I don’t believe that he can tell the difference between me and my brother. But that’s not what he meant. Judging from the context, my father is more worried that my brother has been deceived by me and has lost his trust.]

System: [That’s impossible. You are a master of PUA!]

Xue Chen: [I never do PUA.]

System: [You are talking nonsense again.]

King Taiping also realized that his words had damaged his dignity. He was thinking about changing the subject when he suddenly saw Xie Heng sitting in the corner. “Why are you here?”

He had just talked about so many secrets with his eldest son, and there was an outsider present!

During the conversation, King Taiping’s emotions were attracted by the information in Xue Chen’s words and he didn’t pay attention to him at all.

He always had a good impression of Xie Heng. He thought that although he was disabled, he was kind and gentle like his eldest son. He didn't expect him to be so tactless...

Xie Heng pushed the wheelchair forward and said lightly: "This is my room."

Taiping Wang: "..."

That's right.

System: [As expected of you, you stayed here on purpose to watch the excitement, but your image was not damaged at all. It's just that your father is a bit pitiful. He has been choked by you several times today.]

Xue Chen: [Who let him eat alone? It's all his own fault. 】

System: [……]

Xue Chen said on behalf of Xie Heng: "Dad, Xie Heng is one of us. Ren'er used to rely on his kindness to him and forced him to do many things. Xie Heng is very familiar with Ren'er's power. He knows all the expenditures in various places and some small accounts. With Xie Heng's support, Ren'er can't cause any trouble."

Prince Taiping: "Is that so? Then the others..."

He felt extremely guilty. Since Chen'er became the housekeeper, he rarely paid attention to the family. He didn't even notice the undercurrents between Xie Heng and his two sons.

Xue Chen: "Xiao Mian, Yi Xuan, Fei Shuang can all be trusted."

Taiping King: "You and Rui Er have also become close?"

Xue Chen nodded and said helplessly: "Xiao Mian and Ren Er have always had a bad relationship. Ren Er is jealous of the people around me and has provoked Xiao Mian several times. If Xiao Mian's martial arts were not better than Ren Er, I'm afraid she would have died in Ren Er's hands long ago."

Taiping King: "He didn't even let Rui Er go, and Rui Er is still a sixteen-year-old child."

Xue Chen: "Dad, after Ren Er comes back, can you give him full authority to me to deal with? If I can't teach him well, Dad will teach him."

Taiping King sighed: "Let's talk about it when he comes back."

-

"Master Jiu, there's another letter from the palace, still urging you to go back."

Gong Jiu stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the snowflakes on the window: "No other news?"

The messenger said: "Only these."

Gong Jiu: "Got it."

The messenger was also from the Taiping Palace and had some feelings for Xue Chen. He couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you going back?"

Gong Jiu: "Knowing it's a trap, why would I jump into it? Tell the capital to keep a good lookout for the eldest son. If anything happens to him, those people don't have to live, and they will all be buried with my brother."

-

"No news from Lian'er yet?" Xue Chen asked.

Xiao He felt a little uneasy.

In the past, the prince would come back every few days, and even if he was busy outside, he would write back. It has never been like this time, there was no news at all.

She glanced at Xue Chen uneasily: "No."

Xue Chen: "Write again."

Xiao He: "Do you want to change the reason? Just say that the eldest son misses him and wants to see him. The prince has always respected you. If you ask him in person, he will definitely come back."

Xue Chen felt that she had some truth in what she said: "Then do as you say."

He wrote a short letter, stating that he wanted to see him and asked him to come back quickly.

This time, the letter did not go out from Xiao He, but through the Taiping Palace, and was sent to the people of the Nameless Island, and then from the people of the Nameless Island to Gong Jiu's hands. It would take a lot of time to go back and forth, and there would be no reply in the short term.

Xue Chen and others were very busy.

Yun Heyan persuaded the student to give up the military training and go directly to the Taiping King. The effect was also seen on Qingtan, and he would be able to come over after the New Year.

Xie Heng is still making firearms in the army. The next enemy he will face is Gong Jiu. He has adjusted the direction of his production. He no longer studies the power of firearms, but develops in the direction of smoke bombs.

Pei Rui is the most idle. He takes Xiao Di to patrol the streets every day and manages the public security in the capital together with Zhui Ming.

Yuan Feishuang dealt with some people from the Mi Tian League. Cai Jing ordered him to put other things aside for the time being and focus on monitoring the Jinfeng Xiyu Tower. However, Yuan Feishuang never took Cai Jing seriously. He pretended to obey but secretly disobeyed. He was slacking off every day, and there was no progress in the monitoring.

The one who consumed the most energy was Liu Yixuan.

On the way back to Beijing, Tong Guan kept persuading him to deal with those human relationships. Liu Yixuan never gave in. On his way back, he passed by the garrison of the palace soldiers under the rule of King Taiping, and directly allocated some money and handed it to the local military officers.

He did not say hello to Tong Guan the whole time, and by the time Tong Guan knew about it, the things had already been sent out.

Tong Guan was very angry, thinking that he was not taken seriously, and his attitude towards Liu Yixuan also changed greatly.

He ordered the army to temporarily station in the wilderness, deployed personnel on the left and right, and called Liu Yixuan over.

Liu Yixuan had expected that there would be such a day, and he was very calm. Even though he was surrounded by Tong Guan's people, he was still not afraid at all.

Tong Guan sat in the first seat, with his head down, writing something. He did not raise his head even after hearing Liu Yixuan's golden bell.

Liu Yixuan turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by the soldiers outside the tent: "Master Liu, Master Tong is still waiting to see you, please wait a little longer."

Liu Yixuan looked at them coldly and mouthed: Get out of the way.

The soldier said: "This is my duty, please don't make it difficult for me."

System: [Xiao Liu just has a good temper, don't waste your words on them, just fight! ]

Xue Chen: [All the synchronization rates have been used up, there is not a single extra one, Xiao Liu has no attacking skills at all.]

System: [Grab his knife! Use Qinggong to escape from them, and take turns to hit them on the head!]

Xue Chen: [No, then my status will be gone? Watch me.]

Liu Yixuan curled the corners of his mouth and turned back to the tent.

He heard Tong Guan sneer, and seemed very satisfied with his awareness of the current situation.

However, Liu Yixuan did not stand aside and wait, but walked slowly forward and came to Tong Guan's side.

Tong Guan looked up at him and said, "Back off."

Liu Yixuan was unmoved, and held the brush in his hand, leaving a heavy mark on the paper.

He didn't have much strength to pull the pen out of Tong Guan's hand, so he gave up his goal, picked up the paper on the table, and tore it up slowly.

Tong Guan said angrily: "Liu Yixuan! Are you going to rebel?"

Liu Yixuan smiled and bowed to Tong Guan.

Tong Guan: "You are not young anymore. Didn't you learn the rules in the machine room? I trust you because I value your talent. If you don't know the current affairs, why would I use you? There are many people who are eager to squeeze up. You'd better remember this. Without my support, you wouldn't be where you are today."

Liu Yixuan nodded.

Tong Guan thought he was going to give in, and was about to ask him to apologize and hand over the money, but he saw the eyes of this beautiful young man suddenly dimmed, and in an instant he came to his side. Tong Guan had

been leading troops in the army for a long time, and his physique was strong, which was definitely not comparable to Liu Yixuan, but he didn't even see how Liu Yixuan moved. When he came to his senses, Liu Yixuan was already standing behind him, with a short dagger across his neck. The slight stinging feeling made him feel scared.

"What are you going to do?"

Liu Yixuan: "Ah..."

The young man frowned in distress. He couldn't speak, so he couldn't communicate with Shangguan at all.

He held Tong Guan's strong arms, tapped them lightly with his fingers, and uttered a weak androgynous sound: "Ah, ah."

He was much shorter than Tong Guan, and it was difficult for him to hold the dagger. Tong Guan was afraid that the dagger would really cut his neck, so he had to bend down to cooperate with the boy's strength so that he could hold it more steadily.

Tong Guan said: "Yixuan, did you misunderstand something? Don't you know how I treated you these days? Although you are my subordinate, I really treat you as my own child."

Liu Yixuan snorted with an ambiguous meaning.

Tong Guan pulled his head back, squatted his legs, and leaned his body against Liu Yixuan's chest. He couldn't see Liu Yixuan's expression, so he could only judge Liu Yixuan's thoughts at this moment based on their past experience.

"Put down the dagger quickly, and talk it over nicely. You look like a good-tempered kid, but why are you so stubborn? Fortunately, it's me. If it were someone else who was threatened by you with a knife, they would definitely not let you off easily."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tong Guan felt the dagger sticking closer to him, his skin stung, and warm liquid flowed down his neck.

Tong Guan covered his neck with one hand, "Liu Yixuan! Do you really want to rebel?"

Liu Yixuan chuckled, and with force on her hand, she stuffed the dagger into his hand. Tong Guan's eyes were vicious, and he turned over to grab Liu Yixuan and stab him with a knife.

The young man had expected this, and used his light kung fu to avoid the attack. He raised his leg and kicked Tong Guan, making his arm numb. Then he rushed forward quickly, and while Tong Guan had no time to react, he grabbed his right hand holding the dagger with both hands and pushed it hard to his heart.

Tong Guan's eyes widened: "You..."

Liu Yixuan took two steps back and wiped the blood off his face. He smiled obediently, bowed apologetically, ignored Tong Guan's shouting, and the soldiers who ran in from outside the tent with swords pointed at him, and came to the table to write.

After writing, he took the paper in front of Tong Guan: The money is mine, whoever dares to steal my money must die.

Tong Guan: "You..."

He never dreamed that the deputy he had supported would be so greedy.

For such a small amount of money, he dared to assassinate himself in broad daylight in front of so many people.

His body became weaker and weaker, and he was held by the soldiers on both sides and laid flat on the ground.

Liu Yixuan was surrounded by so many people, but he was not panicked at all. He came to the table and continued to write: The chief officer is dead, and I am the person with the highest rank. Do you want to listen to my orders or die with him?

These soldiers are Tong Guan's own confidants, and they often come into contact with Liu Yixuan.

Liu Yixuan has a good personality, is beautiful, and has outstanding abilities, but she can't speak, which makes her very pitiful. Tong Guan trusted him, and his subordinates followed suit and were very kind to Liu Yixuan.

Now that something like this has happened suddenly, many people have not reacted.

Liu Yixuan smiled and shook the bell on his waist.

Wei Shaoning led the soldiers to rush over one after another and surrounded Tong Guan's men.

"Lord Liu! Are you okay?" Seeing Tong Guan lying on the ground with a pale face, Wei Shaoning thought they had encountered an assassin, so he strode over and protected Liu Yixuan.

Liu Yixuan shook his head and took out a piece of paper from his arms. Inside was a letter written in his original handwriting before he came.

He handed the paper to Wei Shaoning.

After reading, Wei Shaoning's eyes towards Liu Yixuan gradually became intimate, and finally the barrier disappeared.

It turns out that Lord Liu has always been the prince's man!

In the war a few months ago, the prince was able to obtain confidential intelligence from the Privy Council, which was not Tong Guan's credit at all, but Lord Liu who risked his life to sneak into the Jin Kingdom to get it.

In order to occupy his military merits and recruit him to work for himself, Liu Yixuan took advantage of the situation and stayed with Tong Guan.

Now Tong Guan wants to interfere with military affairs, Liu Yixuan can no longer tolerate it, and seizes power in one fell swoop to replace Tong Guan!

"Sir, this is too dangerous. You should have told me in advance. If something happens to you, how can I explain to the eldest master?" Wei Shaoning complained and waved his hand, "Come on, take them all down!"

Tong Guan on the ground suddenly let out a strange cry and then closed his eyes.

His subordinate stepped forward to test his breath: "No breath! No breath! Sir, he's dead!"

System: [Did he die of Wei Shaoning's anger? ]

Xue Chen: [Possibly. ]
