Chapter 359: There are times when slaves are shaken
A flash of fear flashed in Huan Xuan's eyes. Although it was just a flash, Liu Yu knew that these words touched on what he was most afraid of. For the man in front of him, what he cared about most was power.
The thing you are most afraid of losing is also power.
Liu Yu looked at Huan Xuan and said coldly: "Although I don't think that Jingzhou should belong to your Huan family, but the current situation is that your Huan family has been running Jingzhou for decades, and the people of Jingzhou don't know that there is an emperor.
I don’t know that there is a court, but I only know that there is Huan, the governor. However, you were too young when your father died, so in order to save Jingzhou, the Huan family had to be taken over by your uncle. Now that you are an adult, your uncle is also old.
But several of your cousins are all brave and capable generals. With the tradition of your Huan family and the title of heir apparent, it is unclear whether you will be able to take over after your uncle a hundred years later."
Huan Xuan gritted his teeth, raised his head, looked at Liu Yu, and said in a deep voice: "This is why I value you. There are many strong generals in our Huan family, especially my cousins, Huan Shiqian, Huan
Shi Min and others have frightened the enemy, but they also pose a threat to my position, so I can't give them too many opportunities to make contributions. Liu Yu, this is your chance. I value you more than my own Tang.
Brother, can’t you still feel my sincerity?”
Liu Yu shook his head: "What you are seeking is your own status. In your family, you want to be the head of the family. In Dajin, you want to be the emperor. People like you are even afraid of your own relatives. And
How can you have true feelings for me? Once you finish using me, I'm afraid you will be the first to get rid of me."
Huan Xuan laughed: "I still rely on you to conquer the world, how can I be willing to get rid of you? Besides, don't you, Liu Yu, have no ambition for fame and fortune? You won't fight for the world with me. Since you don't pose a threat to me,
We won't have a fundamental conflict of interest. The Xie family can recruit you as their son-in-law, and I can also marry you. Wang Miaoyin is not the only good woman in the world."
Liu Yu sighed: "We have different paths and we don't want to work together. Huan Xuan, there are some things that we can never talk about together. You can continue to dream of your emperor, but please get the position of head of the family first.
As for me, now I just want to defeat the Qin army, then regain the lost territory and seize the Central Plains. If the Xie family is really like what you said, only caring about their own family interests and having no ambition at all, maybe I will consider what you said today.
.”
A hint of excitement flashed in Huan Xuan's eyes: "Are you serious about what you said?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "You regard the Xie family as just like you, a family that only wants power, so you have such a perception. I think the facts will prove how wrong you are. Huan Xuan, I advise you
In a word, if you are too keen on power, you will only get yourself trapped in it. In the end, you may not be able to keep what you can get."
Huan Xuan laughed: "Then let's speak with the facts in the end. Liu Yu, we can make a small bet first. You said that the Xie family is dedicated to serving the country and not seeking power. So if this marriage fails, do you think they
How will it be handled?"
Liu Yu said without hesitation: "Of course I will investigate to the end and find the murderer. Even if I want to explain to Huan Yi, I will do this."
Huan Xuan sneered and said: "You overestimate the integrity of the Xie family. I have been chatting with you here for so long. At this time, Wang Miaoyin is telling Xie An and Xie Xuan's flying eagle message has already reached them.
Go up, and in the evening, the results of the processing over there will come out, and the matter must be settled and no further investigation will be pursued!"
Liu Yu's heart moved. Reason told him that this was probably the case, but emotionally he didn't want to believe it. He shook his head: "No, it's impossible. Huan Yi will not agree to this, and this will
Destroying the overall situation of resisting Qin."
Huan Xuan smiled and said: "Liu Yu, Liu Yu, you are still a little naive. If this matter is investigated further, even if it is found that I did it, so what? Do you think that when the Qin army goes south, the Beifu army will
Going to war with a powerful vassal in Jingzhou over a stupid son of Huan Yi? Not to mention the Xie family, even Huan Yi could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his mouth. Who told him to break his neutrality and marry an outsider?
?”
Liu Yu closed his eyes and sighed. This time, he really couldn't refute Huan Xuan's statement.
Huan Xuan turned around and walked out of the alley. His voice echoed on the stone walls on both sides of the alley: "Liu Yu, remember our conversation today. When you change your mind, you can come to me at any time. What will happen to the Xie family?"
It’s up to you to see what kind of family it is.”
Liu Yu thought for a long time in the alley. What Huan Xuan just said came to his mind one by one. Xie An's amiable face lingered in front of his eyes, and his heart kept thinking.
I'm asking myself, will the Xie family really be what Huan Xuan said?
The sky was getting dark, Liu Yu stood up as he thought about it. He didn't know where to go at this time. Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded from behind him: "Why are you hiding here? Let's get through.
try to find!"
This voice brought Liu Yu back from his thoughts. When he looked back, Murong Nan changed into casual clothes and stood behind him with his arms folded. At both ends of the alley, Huan Xuan's guards had already arrived.
After leaving with the master, it got dark very quickly, but Murong Nan's pair of bright eyes sparkled under the sunset.
Liu Yu looked at Murong Nan, and suddenly felt a sense of intimacy in his heart. For some reason, Huan Xuan's words made him suddenly feel an unspeakable strangeness towards Wang Miaoyin. Did she really love him, or was it because of the family's plan to follow her?
Together? Before talking to Huan Xuan, Liu Yu had no doubt, but now, there was a slight ripple in the calm water, making him not so sure.
Liu Yu raised the corner of his mouth and forced a smile: "Why is it you? Do you have anything to do with me?"
Murong Nan said angrily: "Aren't you going to see the two Zhu boys in the prison of the Governor's Mansion? But you are not there, and neither is Huan Xuan. Wang Miaoyin is eager to discuss things with you. If not
I searched all the way and asked, but I didn't know you were daydreaming in this alley."
Liu Yu sighed softly: "It's really good to see you at this time. I don't want to go to the Zhu brothers now. Murong Nan, there are some things I want to talk to you about. I don't know if you are willing to listen."
What nonsense did I say?"
Murong Nan curled up his lips and said, "I know you are uneasy. Well, tell me what you have to say. I hope that after you leave this alley, you can become the Liu Yu that I am familiar with."
