Lin Huanran drank a glass of wine silently and waited for Hong Dingtian's next words. As expected, Hong Dingtian smiled slightly and said, "Come on, everyone, have a drink for our great hero."
Soon everyone raised their glasses to greet him. Lin Huanran stood up and raised his glass in response, but his perception was completely focused on Hong Dingtian, not even letting him blink.
But Hong Dingtian seemed to be sincere and not pretending at all. Lin Huanran couldn't help but wonder, maybe he was overthinking?
"Mr. Lin, I have a heartfelt request, and I hope you can agree to it," Hong Dingtian said with a smile.
Lin Huanran clasped his hands and said, "Your Highness is too polite. If I can do it, I will do my best."
"Haha, this matter is definitely a trivial matter for sir, and after it succeeds, our big thing will be completely successful." Hong Dingtian's words made his confidants very happy. They have worked together for so long, not just to wait for today.
?
"Oh? I wonder what's going on?" In fact, Lin Huanran knew exactly what was going on with his arrangement, so he just kept calm.
"Now, the second brother, the third brother and the eighth brother are left, so I would like to ask my husband to do it for me. As long as the three of them disappear, then this country will be my king's. By then, I will not mind sharing the world with my husband." Hong Dingtian
He said with a smile.
It seemed that the throne was already beckoning to him. But Lin Huanran sneered in his heart. This sixth prince really wanted to kill them all. It was undeniable that after he became the emperor, several of his brothers would definitely die.
"I don't mind the third prince, but are the second and eighth princes necessary?" Lin Huanran asked lightly.
The banquet fell silent for a moment. Hong Dingtian seemed to have already known that Lin Huanran was going to ask this question. He didn't take it seriously at all. He just said with a smile, "As long as they live, they will affect my king's achievement of unification. If you don't want to take action, sir, you can't do anything."
It can be brought out, and given the relationship between Mr. Su and Mr. Su, I believe it will not be difficult to do."
"His Royal Highness knows a lot of things." Lin Huanran didn't find it strange at all, but now it seemed that his meeting with Mr. Su had caused a slight estrangement in the prince's heart.
"Haha, if you want to achieve great things, you must have ears and eyes from all directions, otherwise how can you succeed? I wonder what you mean, sir?" Hong Dingtian was still smiling.
"I won't say much about the third prince. The second prince likes to believe that your highness also knows that the eighth prince is too young to kill them. Don't you feel it is unbearable for your highness?" Lin Huanran asked.
Hong Dingtian smiled and said, "Sir, you are indeed kind, but once you achieve great success, who will become an emperor without mountains of blood and corpses at his feet? Although I, Hong Dingtian, can't bear it, I have to do this. You know, even if they don't want to be the emperor,
, doesn’t mean others won’t force them.”
Sighing secretly, Hong Dingtian was by no means an alarmist, but to kill someone just because of this possible danger, isn't it a bit too much?
"What His Highness said is true, but if His Highness becomes the emperor in the future, treat them well and at most send people to monitor them. I believe there will be no problem. I hope His Highness can save the lives of the second prince and the eighth prince." Lin Huanran said again.
said.
This time Hong Dingtian's face looked a little ugly, and his smile slowly became stiff, "So, sir, you are not willing to help me anymore?"
Narrowing his eyes slightly, Lin Huanran said, "The second prince and the eighth prince cannot move. The third prince will not interfere. I hope your highness will think twice before making any move."
"Needless to say, since you have the kindness of a woman, I don't want to say more. Let's leave like this today." Hong Dingtian walked away, and the originally lively and lively banquet became silent, "Mr. Lin, why do you refuse?
Your Highness?" The person who came was none other than Huang Liang.
"Killing brothers, killing brothers, and targeting brothers who are not a threat. I'm afraid this approach will not be accepted by the world. I will not do such a thing." Lin Huanran said coldly.
Huang Liang just sighed and said nothing more. All the killers who were ambushing around him left. Lin Huanran frowned. Maybe he was overthinking it, but Hong Dingtian's performance today was very disappointing.
I couldn't help but think of the emperor's evaluation of his sons. Could it be that these princes were all useless? Thinking of Hong Dingtian's expression in the Huangquan Mountains that day even when facing so many bandits, he was indifferent even when he was whipped.
Such a character is incomparable to other people.
But I didn't expect that Hong Dingtian would do this for the sake of the throne. Is it really a good thing for the world to be such a monarch? Lin Huanran fell into deep thinking.
At this time in the room, Hong Dingtian smashed the tea cup angrily, "I don't know how to appreciate it." Countless emotions flashed in his eyes, and he didn't know what he was hesitating about. Finally, he gradually calmed down and said, "Shadow."
"My subordinate is here."
"Let's get started." Hong Dingtian said these three words as if he was relieved.
The shadow nodded and disappeared. Hong Dingtian slowly stood up and came to the window. He saw the sky full of stars outside, "I am about to succeed. No one can block my way. No one can."
Lin Huanran did not sleep or practice that night. Instead, he was thinking about what the emperor said and whether he would stay or leave. "Boy, when did you become so indecisive?"
"I once promised him to help him get the throne, how can I go back on my word now?" One night passed and it was daytime. Lin Huanran finally made up his mind to persuade him again no matter what.
He had to try his best. Lin Huanran walked out and happened to meet Huang Liang. Judging from their appearance, they seemed to be looking for him.
"Mr. Lin, His Highness is looking for you." Huang Liang was very respectful. Lin Huanran was startled and then nodded, "Take me there."
"Could he have figured it out too?" Lin Huanran held a trace of fantasy in his heart, but didn't say much.
Hong Dingtian was having a morning meal, a standard eighteen-course snack, which was difficult for ordinary people to achieve. When he saw Lin Huanran, he smiled slightly and said, "Sir, here you are, please take a seat."
Lin Huanran sat down as he was told, "Your Highness, I will come today."
"Sir, listen to what I have to say first. Last night, I thought about it day and night, and finally felt that what you said made sense." Hong Dingtian said.
Lin Huanran was stunned. Could it be that he really had a sudden enlightenment? But soon, the killer aura he felt last night appeared again, and this time the target was still himself. His heart sank, this Hong Dingtian was acting.
"If I don't have any brothers, even if I get the throne, I will get nothing but emptiness and loneliness. Such a throne is meaningless at all." Hong Dingtian said.
Lin Huanran didn't answer, "Thank you sir for your kind words, I'm enlightened now. Come on, sir, let's try the new chef's skills."
Smiling, Lin Huanran clasped his fists and said, "It is a blessing for all people that your Royal Highnesses can communicate with each other." Then, he ate the snack without hesitation, but in his heart, he was thinking, "Don't let me down."
The taste is indeed delicious, but with Lin Huanran's understanding of medicine, he can clearly feel that there is something else in it. Although it is extremely difficult to detect, it is difficult to escape Lin Huanran's perception.
As the snacks were eaten, the sword energy suddenly came around, surrounding the debris in the snacks. Before they spread, they were strangled by the sword energy. "What do you think, sir?"
"It tastes good. It is indeed the ancient secret poison Jiuyou Cartilage. It is indeed extraordinary." Back then, Sunan City was poisoned by Zheng Qingshan. Apart from the antidote, Lin Huanran was the only one who could eat it openly.
And you can live in peace.
Hearing Lin Huanran's words, Hong Dingtian's expression changed slightly, and he forced a smile, "Sir, you really know how to joke."
"Your Highness, it seems that you didn't listen to what I said last night. Let the killers who are ambushing outside come in." Lin Huanran said lightly.
Now Hong Dingtian couldn't pretend anymore. He was horrified. How did Lin Huanran discover it? Hong Dingtian was extremely confident in the latent ability of Shadow and the others. This was a conclusion obtained from repeated experiments. Even Yang
The head of the family cannot detect the shadow. So why is it seen through?
But what if he discovered it? The poison had been eaten, and Lin Huanran was like a tiger that had lost its teeth and was being slaughtered. The next moment, Shadow and others suddenly appeared, and even Huang Liang and the others were shocked, because they were
Feel nothing.
Hong Dingtian looked at Huang Liang on the side with a gloomy expression. He immediately understood what the sixth prince meant, and then took out his weapon to completely block the place. "Sir, you are indeed extraordinary. You can actually discover the shadow killer group."
"It's not worth mentioning. I also know that His Highness asked Shadow to follow and monitor me." In fact, Hong Dingtian knew that Lin Huanran left Shadow and went to the General's Mansion.
He was also doubting whether Lin Huanran could discover it, so he didn't do anything last night. He only used Jiuyou Cartilage just to be on the safe side. Today he saw that he had done the right thing.
"Sir is a talented person. I also know that your ambition is as high as the sky and you will not stay in Haoyang Kingdom forever. Without your help, I would probably be dead now. I will never forget the grace of saving my life." After finishing speaking.
, Hong Dingtian bowed deeply, but Lin Huanran sneered in his heart.
Surrounded by killers and poisoned snacks, what's the use of talking nonsense?
"I, Hong Dingtian, am by no means an ungrateful person. As long as you agree to help me, I can detoxify you immediately. I believe in your character," Hong Dingtian said.
"Your Highness is indeed very generous, but if I regret it, the people here may not be able to keep me." Lin Huanran looked at the fifteen killers, but he didn't care at all.
"I believe in your reputation. You are a talented and brave man, and you can still talk and laugh in such a desperate situation. He is indeed a dragon among men. Since you have helped me defeat so many powerful enemies, why don't you send Buddha to the West?"
What?" Hong Dingtian asked.
"Everyone has his or her own principles, and so do I. I am willing to help His Highness, but I will not help His Highness do things that violate his own principles. We do not agree with each other," Lin Huanran said.
Hong Dingtian still refused to give up, "Principles are personal morals, not national standards. As a prince, I am also the person most likely to become the emperor in the future, so I cannot talk about principles."
