Zhaohui did not speak, but nodded vigorously. He knew that he might lose his life if he went there, but his friendship with Hongli made him know that there might be a dead end ahead, so he still ran forward without hesitation, without any hesitation.
When Hongli woke up, he found himself in a room with no light. He tried to move his hands and feet, but found that they were tied tightly and it was impossible to untie them by himself. No need to ask, it must be
Those common people caught me, too bad. I wonder what happened to my second brother and the others. Were they tied up like me, as well as Zhaohui and the others.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, and then the door was opened, and a dark figure walked in.
Hongli squinted to see the man's appearance clearly, but there was no light in the room and he couldn't see anything clearly. He could only ask: "Who are you? Why did you arrest me? Where are the others?"
"You are full of energy, it looks like everything is fine." This voice made Hongli stunned. This...isn't this the second brother's voice? Could it be that they have escaped? No, if they have escaped, there is no reason to still be tied up.
Myself!
Before Hongli could think about it, the visitor took out a fire stick and lit the candle on the table. With the dim candlelight, Hongli finally saw the appearance of the visitor. Sure enough, it was Hongshi. He seemed to be unscathed.
, nothing happened.
Hongli quickly asked: "Second brother, what happened? Why am I tied up here?"
Hongshi's lips curved slightly, he knelt down and said with a half-smile, "Fourth brother, how does it feel to be tied up?"
From just now, Hongli felt that something was wrong. When he heard Hongshi ask this question, he felt more and more wrong. He stared at Hongshi and said, "Second brother, what is going on? Where are we now, and where are the people?
, where did they go?”
"Common people? Fourth brother, do you mean them?" Hongshi clapped his hands lightly, and the two people immediately walked in. When he saw their appearance clearly, Hongli's pupils shrank. He remembered these two people.
They were all people from Lianjiang County who had attacked them before, and one of them even defeated Zhaohui.
"Second brother, why are you with them?" Hongli asked this question with difficulty, already understanding a bit in his heart.
"Why?" Hongshi chuckled, patted Hongli's cheek hard and said: "My good brother, don't you understand, I arranged everything, and they are not people suffering from famine at all.
People, I sent them to lurk in Lianjiang County, and the purpose is to take your life!"
Hongli stared at him and said in a trembling voice: "So, the trip to Lianjiang County was basically a plan set by you?"
Hongshi leaned close to his ear and said word by word: "Yes, in fact, Lianjiang County has long been turned into an empty county. All the people you called have been killed long ago, not a single one is left, not even a dog is left."
Down."
His words seemed to stimulate Hongli. Even though his hands and feet were tied, he still struggled hard and said loudly: "Why did you do this? Did they offend you in some way, and you want to do such a thing that is outrageous to both humans and gods?"
"Others don't understand, so fourth brother doesn't understand either?" Hongshi's eyes gradually became colder, and he said coldly: "I did this to take your life, fourth brother. As for those people in Lianjiang County, although
They were killed by me, but in the final analysis, they died because of you, and you are the real murderer of them!"
Hongli said sadly: "Second brother, are you crazy? We are brothers, how could you do this?"
"Why not?!" Hongshi grabbed his braid and forced him to raise his head, "I am Huang Ama's eldest son, but Huang Ama has always liked you, a bastard, much more than me.
Favor you, after all
What’s good about you is that you know how to please the Emperor’s Arma, isn’t it?” Hongshi became angrier as he spoke, and his face became distorted and hideous in the dim candlelight, “You even ran to the Yangxin Hall to review the memorial with the Emperor’s Arma.
Why do you do that? Why do you do that?!"
Thinking of Huang Ama's praises to Hongli and reprimands to himself over the years, Hongshi became angry. He grabbed Hongli's head and hit him hard on the stone paved ground, until his head was broken and bleeding.
"No one can compete with me for anything, including you. Do you hear me clearly? That includes you!"
Hongli was hit so hard that his head was dizzy, and blood flowed from his forehead. "I never thought about fighting with you. It's just you who thought too much."
"What about the position of the prince, the dragon chair in the Yangxin Palace, and the power to hold the world? You have never thought about competing with me for these?" Before Hongli could speak, he shook his head and said:
"Don't lie to me. You work so hard to please Emperor Ama, isn't it just to inherit the throne and become the emperor? It's a pity that you don't have this fate!"
Blood flowed through his eyes, making everything Hongli saw red. He said angrily: "I know it's useless what I say now, but if you want to deal with it, it's enough to deal with me alone. Why do you have to involve so many people?"
Innocent people.”
"Oh, those are just ordinary people. If they die, they will die. What's there to say?" Hongshi smiled coldly and stretched out his hand. Ada, who was standing behind him, immediately put a dagger in his hand.
Put the sharp blade against
Hongli whispered softly on his throat: "If you have that time, you might as well worry about yourself. Soon, you will be unable to speak anymore. But don't worry, I have arranged for someone to wait for you on Huangquan Road.
It’s less lonely when you go.”
Hongli felt a chill in his heart and said, "Is it Zhaohui and Agui? What did you do to them?"
The force on Hongshi's hand increased a bit, causing a bloodstain to appear on Hongli's neck. "Didn't I tell you that I'll wait for you on the Huangquan Road? What else can I do?"
His words made Hongli's eyes filled with anger, and he said sternly: "You killed them?!"
Hongshi didn't care at all about his anger. Instead, he said in a cat-and-mouse manner: "They are so intrusive, especially Zhaohui. If I don't kill them, how can I be worthy of myself!"
"You! You're so despicable!" Hongli secretly regretted that he didn't listen to Zhaohui and was on guard against Hongshi, and now he fell into his trap, but now it's useless to say anything.
Hongshi said contemptuously: "If you are not a poisonous person, you are not a husband. As long as you can achieve great things, it doesn't matter if you are mean. As long as you are the only one who has contributed to disaster relief in Fuzhou, I am also the best choice for the crown prince."
Hongli suddenly sneered, "Do you really think you can become the prince by killing me? Don't forget that there are Hong Zhou and Hong Zhan. There will be other elder brothers born in the future. Each of them is qualified to become the prince.
Prince, inherit the throne!"
"Shut up!" Hongli's words undoubtedly stimulated Hongshi, and his face suddenly turned ugly. He grabbed Hongli's head and banged it hard on the ground again. As he hit it, he shouted loudly: "I am the crown prince.
Yes, the throne is mine too, no one can take it away!"
