Chapter 79 Dog Training
"No, I'm not stupid. How could I possibly tell you something so important?"
Liu Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief. That was good. She thought this guy was so stupid that he told her everything.
However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Zhou Kang speak, "I just told him some information, such as which people around him were spies planted by Prime Minister Chen, and what officials did behind his back. Oh, and last time, there was a palace maid who was hiding deep in the emperor's side and was a spy. She tampered with the emperor's dragon robe. It was me who told the emperor that, and helped him escape the disaster."
Zhou Kang spoke with pride.
It's just that he clearly saved the emperor's life that time. The emperor said that he had done a great job in saving him, but the look in his eyes when he looked at him was full of murderous intent. He didn't say it out loud.
Liu Zhiyuan's head was twitching. What's the difference between you and confessing yourself?
Is this guy mentally ill?
"Then how did you explain the source of that information to the Emperor?"
"I said a friend told me."
Liu Zhiyuan didn't even have the strength to roll his eyes.
He said with a forced smile, "It's a miracle that you're still alive today."
No wonder the emperor looked at him with murderous eyes. If she were the emperor, Zhou Kang would have died eight hundred times!
"What do you mean?" I feel a little panicked.
"You've been exposed." Liu Zhiyuan hit the nail on the head and quickly distanced himself from the matter. "Once you leave this room, don't say you know me. Don't ever let the emperor know that I'm related to you, let alone that we're from the same place!"
She can't even protect herself now, Zhou Kang must not sell her out!
Zhou Kang was so frightened that his face turned pale. "When was I exposed?"
Liu Zhiyuan suppressed the urge to curse, "The Emperor is surrounded by talented people and has an intelligence network that spans the entire court. You actually know a secret that even he can't find, and you can't even clearly explain the source of the information. How can he not be suspicious?"
There are only two possibilities in this situation: either Zhou Kang is hiding his true identity and has a very powerful intelligence organization behind him, or there is something wrong with him.
In either case, the emperor could not tolerate it.
Zhou Kang suppressed his panic and said, "In ancient times, there were those hermit masters who knew everything about astronomy and geography. What if the emperor thought I was that kind of person?"
Liu Zhiyuan didn't want to talk anymore. That was a hidden master, were you?
You are just a clear-headed and stupid college student.
"Don't you feel that the emperor wants your life?"
"Yes!" Zhou Kang became even more panicked.
Not only that, he felt the strong murderous intent from the emperor several times and almost thought that he was going to be beheaded.
Liu Zhiyuan was too tired to complain, but at the same time he was a little curious.
"According to the plot, you should have no connection with the emperor now, so why did you come to the capital to serve as an official?"
Speaking of this, Zhou Kang felt a little embarrassed. "General Yan despised my humble background and refused to marry Xiaoyu to me. Then Xiaoyu arranged for me to become an official, hoping that I would become successful in the future and be a good match for her."
6ah!
Liu Zhiyuan wanted to applaud him, young man, you are really asking for trouble!
She had no choice but to fall to the ground and get crushed into pieces as soon as she got in. Zhou Kang had a chance to avoid her, but he actually ran to Xiao Yu to deliver the food.
I give up.
Zhou Kang was at a loss, "Do you think the emperor really wants to kill me?"
"What do you think? How can I allow others to snore beside my bed? An emperor who holds the power of the world will never allow uncontrollable people to appear around him. You either hide your tail well, or let him feel that you are under his control."
Zhou Kang was panicking, "What should I do now?"
"I don't know. Wait till you die."
"For the sake of our fellow countrymen, could you please not stand by and watch him die?"
Liu Zhiyuan pursed her lips. She didn't read the article carefully and didn't know a lot of the plot, but Zhou Kang just made up for it.
I will need to get news from him in the future.
"Since Xiao Yu has the intention to kill you, it means that you have been exposed. But since he didn't kill you immediately, it means that you are still useful to him."
"What's the use?"
Liu Zhiyuan, "..."
"Information, no matter how you got it, it's very useful to Xiao Yu. This is your greatest value. In that case, there's no need to hide it. In the future, just tell him whatever he wants to know. But don't pretend to be so cunning and calculating. Just act like you are."
Zhou Kang scratched his head, looking embarrassed.
It was seen...
He was afraid that others would see his true nature, so he always pretended to be mature and prudent.
"What does it mean to act in your true colors?"
"Your true nature, you have to make Xiao Yu think that he has seen through you, that he can completely control you, that you are someone he can use but pose no threat to him. Only then will he give up his desire to kill you."
Liu Zhiyuan suddenly thought of a question. Xiao Yu asked Zhou Kang to investigate the Liu family's case. Could it be because Zhou Kang knew a lot of secrets?
To put it bluntly, for an emperor to rule his subordinates, all his subordinates are like useful dogs in his eyes. He does not need the dog's origin, but he must make sure that he can control the dog and not let it bite the master.
"If you understand Xiao Yu's psychology, it won't be difficult to fight for a chance of survival under his hands. Oh, and your secret must not be exposed."
"What secret do I have?"
"Through a book."
I must never let the people here know that I am just a character in a book, otherwise who knows what will happen.
"Oh, I see. So, is your secret exposed?"
"Half and half."
Zhou Kang was puzzled. "What do you mean by half and half? How can a secret be revealed only half? Do you have other secrets besides time travel?"
Liu Zhiyuan glanced at him and said, "Take care of yourself first."
"oh."
"Here's a piece of advice for you: don't even think about running away."
"Why."
"Nonsense, Xiao Yu has already set his sights on you. If you run away, wouldn't it be equivalent to telling him that you have discovered that you have been exposed to him? How can he still let you live?"
"That makes sense, I see."
Thinking of Yan Ruyu outside, Liu Zhiyuan asked, "What's going on between you and Yan Ruyu?"
When this was mentioned, Zhou Kang blushed and scratched his head shyly.
"When I read the novel, I really liked the heroic female character Xiaoyu. After I traveled through time, she saved me once, and then..."
Love at first sight.
Liu Zhiyuan frowned, "Do you really like her?"
Yan Ruyu is her only friend here, and she doesn't want to see her being cheated.
"I like it, of course I like it!"
"Then why are you so disrespectful, bringing modern society's ideas here? Unmediated adultery had a very serious impact on a woman's reputation in ancient times."
Zhou Kang's face changed, and he quickly explained, "No, it was an accident. Xiaoyu was drugged, and then she was confused..."
Liu Zhiyuan, "..."
Is this possible?
"Then you have to be nice to her. Yan Ruyu and Xiao Yu have a good relationship. If you hold her close, maybe Xiao Yu will spare your life for Yan Ruyu's sake."
"Don't worry, I often brainwash Xiaoyu and tell her that I will not marry anyone else in this life, and I will not have three wives and four concubines like other men. I will only have her." Zhou Kang patted his chest and promised.
Liu Zhiyuan choked and said angrily, "Aren't you a PUA?"
Zhou Kang's expression twisted. "But I feel like I'm the one being manipulated! Not only do I have her name tattooed on my body, but even my underwear has to have it embroidered with her name. It feels like she's training me like she's training a dog!"
