Although Liu Xiu had studied in the Imperial Academy for many years, he was not a weak scholar. He also had some martial arts skills. Moreover, he had led troops in many battles in recent years. He was not frightened by Liu Kuan's sudden drawing of the sword. He just put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist and was about to draw the sword, but Han Yu was one step ahead of him.
Seeing Han Yu guarding him without hesitation, Liu Xiu felt warm in his heart and was somewhat touched. He was too suspicious in the past and always suspected that Han Yu had ulterior motives. Han Yu's performance in these days showed his loyalty, otherwise it would not be his turn to be the lord. Although he still didn't understand why Han Yu did this, after all, everyone has desires and ambitions. Who would be willing to be inferior to others when they can be the boss?
Liu Xiu's thoughts were a little distracted, but soon he had no time to think about them. He saw Liu Kuan drawing his sword and stabbing himself.
"My lord, although Kuan is incompetent and makes people suspicious, I do not regret following you. Now that it has come to this, Kuan is no longer of any use to you. I will die to prove my innocence and make the last use of him. As long as you do not fall into the enemy's trap, Kuan will die without regrets."
Liu Kuan was a cruel man. In order to achieve his goals, he was cruel to others and even crueler to himself. As he spoke, he pointed the tip of the knife at his heart without hesitation and stabbed it hard, leaving no time for anyone to stop him.
"Brother Liu, don't!" Several people who believed in Liu Kuan's innocence shouted hurriedly, hoping that Liu Kuan would not be stupid and not joke with his own life instead of talking about things calmly.
It happened in a flash. Seeing Liu Kuan like this, a young general next to Liu Kuan hurriedly went to pull Liu Kuan, trying to stop him from committing suicide. However, Liu Kuan intended to do so, and the general failed to stop him. He only slightly stopped Liu Kuan's momentum, and the blade deviated to the side.
Although Yin Shi was somewhat surprised by Liu Kuan's behavior, he was not moved at all. He just felt that Liu Kuan was terribly scheming and actually wanted to use this method to regain Liu Xiu's trust. He wished that Liu Kuan could be killed with this knife. Not to mention that Liu Kuan's behavior could not erase the suspicion of being a thief. Even if Liu Kuan was not a thief, Yin Shi did not want such a person to be around. It was too dangerous. He even felt that this person was more terrifying than Han Yu. Although Han Yu was capable, he disdained to do such a hypocritical thing, while Liu Kuan was lurking around him without knowing it, and he might give him a fatal blow at any time.
What a pity. Seeing the blade deviate in direction, Yin Shi knew in his heart that Liu Kuan would not die this time. He did not die from this knife. No matter what the reason was, Liu Xiu would not let Liu Kuan die "unjustly" in front of everyone. However, this was exactly Liu Kuan's purpose.
If it were someone else, they might think that Liu Kuan was innocent, and that's why he wanted to use his death to prove his innocence. However, Yin Shi was a paranoid person. Once he made up his mind, he would never change it. Moreover, Yin Shi believed in his own feelings more. Liu Kuan gave him the feeling of being dangerous, very dangerous.
As expected, Yin Shi was right. When Liu Kuan stabbed him, Liu Xiu immediately said, "Hurry, hold him, and get a doctor here right away. Don't let him get hurt!"
Liu Xiu said with a grim expression, giving orders to the guards around him. He didn't know whether it was because Liu Kuan threatened to die, which put him in an unjust situation and forced him to do his best to save a spy, or because he regretted that he had 'wronged' Liu Kuan, but he was always in a bad mood.
Han Yu had a cold face, and it was hard to tell what was going on, but he was definitely not in a good mood. He was quite sure that Chen Chu and Liu Kuan were traitors, and it was absolutely true. He just didn't expect Liu Kuan to be more difficult to deal with than he thought, and he actually used such a cruel method to put himself in a desperate situation. No one would be happy if they found that their enemies were too cunning and beyond their expectations.
"No, no need, my lord. Kuan has already made up his mind to die today. What's more, you no longer trust me. There is no meaning for Kuan to live in this world. It is better for him to die like this, which will preserve the friendship between us as master and servant." Liu Kuan said as a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth and splashed onto the ground, looking particularly desolate.
Liu Xiu couldn't bear it, especially in front of so many people. No matter what he was thinking, if he showed any doubt at this time, it would inadvertently chill everyone's hearts. So he wanted to say something to comfort Liu Kuan, but a man who was on good terms with Liu Kuan and had a more upright character had already spoken first.
"Brother Liu, stop talking. You have proved your innocence with your death. If the Lord still doubts you, it would be too cold. The Lord is always tolerant and not that kind of person. We have all been watching this matter. How could you be a traitor? Anyone who slanders you is making things difficult for all of us. Just wait, the doctor will be here soon. You must hold on."
As soon as this person started, there was a voice of agreement: "Yes, Commander Liu, you must hold on. Although soldiers like us are not afraid of death, we must die on the battlefield. It is a worthy death if our death is valuable. It would be very unfair and worthless to die like this, and we would fall into the enemy's trap. So you must hold on. The lord will definitely find out the truth and make the decision for you."
"Yes, don't think too much. The truth of the matter will always be revealed. Death is the most undesirable option. Besides, you have been with me for many years. What kind of person am I, Liu Xiu? You should believe me. I will not let you suffer any injustice." Liu Xiu had the opportunity to speak at this time. Although his words were apparently on Liu Kuan's side, he left room for him.
At this time, Liu Xiu's guards had also brought the military doctor over. Because they ran too fast, both of them were out of breath. A doctor is like a loving parent, so no matter what happened, when the military doctor saw Liu Kuan like this, the first thing he did was to treat Liu Kuan.
"Doctor, how is it? No matter what, no matter what, you must save the person. Just tell me if you need anything." Liu Xiu said with concern, his face full of worry.
Yin Shi also reacted at this time. Although he wished Liu Kuan would die in his heart, he could not show it on his face. Moreover, it was because of his "aggression" that Liu Kuan died to prove his innocence. If he showed bad emotions at this time, people present might have some thoughts. Therefore, he looked at the military doctor with concern.
"Yes, doctor, you must find a way to cure this patient, otherwise I will feel uneasy. I shouldn't have believed the rumors and misunderstood Brother Liu, causing Brother Liu to be like this. Alas, he fell into the thief's trap!" Yin Shi said as he patted himself, his face full of regret and worry.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
The military doctor looked at Yin Shi's showmanship and complained in his heart: Do you really want the patient to get better? Shouldn't you treat the patient's injuries first and then do other things? If you go on like this, the cure that could have been made will be delayed.
