Until now, Lu Anyuan still couldn't be sure if these two people were playing a trick on him. But logically speaking, the Second Prince didn't need to play a trick on him. He had no way out and no way to retreat. Killing one more person would be a scapegoat, and killing another one would be a profit.
"Second brother, long time no see. I didn't expect to see you here." Lu Anyuan also poured a cup and spilled it all on the ground. Even if he watched the second prince drink it, he couldn't be sure that it wasn't poisonous.
The Second Prince was not surprised by this, and he had no intention of poisoning Lu Anyuan. "Thanks to my sister-in-law's kindness, the arrow she used was not poisonous. Otherwise, it would be hard to say."
The second prince moved his left arm and still felt some pain.
Lu Anyuan's eyelids twitched, and then he laughed: "That's because she's afraid of hurting me, otherwise she would definitely use the strongest poison to let you enjoy it."
The Fourth Prince suddenly closed his eyes. This was a bad start. Second Brother was already mad, so how could Seventh Brother be even crazier? Could he have another trick up his sleeve?
No one paid any attention to the Fourth Prince's despair.
"Actually, I really don't know when the second young lady of the Xu family learned archery. She is an excellent archer and also good at horse riding. It seems that she has learned a lot after marrying you." The second prince's tone did not reveal whether it was good or bad, he just stated it.
"Brother, you are too kind. My wife has always been like this. She didn't learn it from me."
The Second Prince turned around and looked directly at Lu Anyuan: "Why, since you can't marry the older one, you're going to marry the younger one? Ha!"
"Second brother! Your injury has finally healed. Why don't we go to the palace and see the emperor? I believe you must have your own difficulties, and the emperor will forgive you!" Seeing that the matter involved Miss Xu, who was the most confused among his seventh brother, the fourth prince intervened in time. He was really afraid that these two lunatics would stab him one by one.
Lu Anyuan, however, heard another meaning. Didn't the fourth brother tell the second brother what he had done? What did he mean by hardship? What did he mean by forgiveness? Which of his actions was not his own decision? Was someone forcing him to rebel?
How could he know that it was not that the Fourth Prince was unwilling to betray him, but that after being brought here this morning, the Second Prince did not allow him to say a word. The knife was at his neck, who would dare to say anything!
"I am going back to the palace, but not to ask for my father's forgiveness." The second prince finally withdrew from the confrontation with Lu Anyuan, looking forward, with something called murderous intent in his eyes.
"Since Second Brother has decided to return to the palace, why did you call me here today?"
The Second Prince stood up and paced around the room a few times to stretch his muscles. "You're asking this even though you already know the answer. You've ruined my plan, so I'll make you pay."
"Second brother, you are wrong. You yourself ruined your plan. If it were me, Daxia would already be in mourning."
Lu Anyuan's words were so blunt that he was mocking the Second Prince's submissiveness. The Second Prince did not comment on this.
All good opportunities are fleeting. My seventh brother was right. I was indeed a little hesitant at that time. I killed so many people in vain and lost the throne that I should have obtained.
But it doesn't matter. Right now, I still have a chance. As long as I kill all of my father's sons, and then kill my father, the queen, and the queen mother, I can still ascend the throne!
The remaining two people didn't know what the second prince was thinking at the moment. They just saw him suddenly become quiet and felt that the atmosphere in the room was a little weird.
"An Yuan, He Xin, you are both my brothers, so I don't want to make things difficult for you. I'll give you a chance, and you can choose for yourselves."
The Second Prince suddenly turned around and stood in front of the two men. "He Xin, I've buried gunpowder under your stool. I've also made a pressure rope underneath. I've also sprinkled flint powder all over your floor. If you move or leave, the flint powder will ignite or the pressure rope will become unbalanced, and this place will explode immediately. But if you don't move, I think you might be able to wait for help."
Upon hearing this, the Fourth Prince's face turned pale and dark. No wonder he was not allowed to move or talk in the morning. Was it because he was also afraid of being blown to death?
"Second, second brother, don't joke..." The fourth prince's sweat had already dripped onto his clothes, but he really didn't dare to move. There was something wrong with the floor in this place. It seemed that it had been replaced. Damn, you stayed in my house for ten days and this is what you did?
The Second Prince ignored him and said directly to Lu Anyuan: "As for you, just choose whether you die or Xu Yiyan dies. It's not as troublesome as him."
"Huh? Then I choose her death."
Seeing that Lu Anyuan had almost no hesitation, the Second Prince stopped smiling and asked, "Why, do you think she can rest easy in your house?"
"No, I really chose her to die. I didn't expect that my second brother loves me so much. Now that I have chosen, can I leave now?"
"My people are outside your house right now. If you choose her, someone will rush in and assassinate her at all costs. Are you sure?"
"Sure."
"Then I really overestimated you." The second prince's expression was a little disappointed. He had known this was the case a long time ago. A heartless person like Lu Anyuan only knew how to exploit and deceive. If he were to see it, even if it was Xu Yixing today, he would still choose her to die.
The Second Prince dropped the teacup in his hand and strode out. Not long after, three words drifted in, clearly heard by both men: "Kill them all."
Suddenly, there were many more winds around, and a group of killers in black clothes immediately entered the hall, and several steel knives rushed towards the two people sitting there.
The Fourth Prince was sweating all over, but he couldn't move at all. He would never gamble whether what his second brother said was true or not, because he was sure that it was true.
Lu Anyuan moved freely and easily dodged several knife attacks. Then Ada and two secret guards came into the house and joined the fight.
The people left behind by the Second Prince were all masters. Lu Anyuan only had four people, and it was very difficult, not to mention that he was dragging along the "useless" Fourth Prince.
"Retreat first, otherwise it will explode!" Lu Anyuan decisively abandoned the Fourth Prince and fought outside the courtyard, but it was obvious that the Second Prince did not give him such a chance to survive. As soon as he went out, arrows flew all over the sky, and he had to be beaten back.
"Damn it, where are our people!"
"I notified you when I was coming, I don't know why you haven't arrived yet!"
Just as he finished cursing, a black object as big as a quilt flew in from the window coffin that was now useless, and landed right on the Fourth Prince's head.
The fourth prince felt his eyes go dark and his body swayed a few times, but he remembered the pressure rope his second brother mentioned, and immediately steadied himself. He relied on the feel of his hands to hold down the table to ensure that he would not fall.
Lu Anyuan, whose head was not covered, quickly saw the person coming. He was wearing the same clothes as Ying Jiu and Ying Wu, with a black cloth covering his face.
"Leave this mechanism to me. Your reinforcements have arrived. Don't let them in!" After saying that, he flew to the side of the Fourth Prince and started knocking and banging at his feet, not knowing what he was busy with.
