Chapter 608 608 Confidence, anyone dares to use it
At midnight, everything is ringing, and the entire Black Rock Mountain is shrouded in darkness. The silence is terrifying, and Zhuangzi outside the town is no exception.
However, at this moment, two men wrapped in black quietly came to Zhuangzi outside the city and came to the flower hall where Xiao Jiuan met his guests.
"Prince." The scholar Wan Yan was the first to take off his black hat. He still had bruises on his face and looked extremely ridiculous, but no one could laugh at this moment.
Then, the person next to him also took off his hat, revealing a pale but handsome face: "Your Majesty."
His warm voice, low tone, and humble identity all tell the world that he is a harmless young man.
The young man looks a lot like Emperor Tianqi, but no one will mistake them because their temperaments are so different.
One is a noble, proud and wanton emperor who wants to take life and death; the other is a precarious ant who lives in the darkness and cannot be seen.
At least at this moment, the boy is still as small as an ant.
"What's your name?" Xiao Jiu'an only took one look and understood that this young man did not grow up pampered. This young man's eyes were clean and clear, but he had a tiredness and weakness that people of this age did not have.
"I... don't have a name." His father dreamed of being named Zhao and wrote his name on the Zhao family's ancestral tree. Unfortunately, the Zhao family didn't know their existence, and they couldn't see the light of day, so it was impossible to have a name.
"So...what's your last name?" Xiao Jiu'an has neither good nor bad feelings towards the young man. He wants to see the young man just to see what his character is like.
He has no shortage of people on hand, but he is also short of people. When he meets the right people, he doesn't mind recruiting them.
"My mother's surname is Xie. If possible... my surname will be Xie." Although the young man rarely interacted with outsiders, it did not mean that he was stupid. He understood the meaning of Xiao Jiu'an's words.
Giving up the surname Zhao is equivalent to giving up the first half of his life. However, there is really nothing worth looking forward to in the first half of his life, and there is nothing wrong with giving up.
"Thank you? Very good. From today on, you will be called Xie Yong, Yong of Yonghe." If you recognize this name, this person will have nothing to do with the Zhao family royal family, and this person will have to be used by Xiao Jiu'an.
Of course, he could refuse, but Xiao Jiuan believed that as long as the young man in front of him was not stupid and had a little ambition, he would not refuse.
As Xiao Jiu'an expected, after hearing this, the young man recognized the name without even a trace of hesitation: "Xie Yong, thank the prince for giving me the name." From today on, he is Xie Yong, the Xie Yong of the Xie family, a little bit like the Zhao family.
There is no relationship.
"From now on, you will stay here." Since you recognized this name, you had to use it for him.
A flash of confusion flashed in Xie Yong's eyes, but he was smart enough not to ask any more questions. Instead, he took out a drawing: "Your Majesty, this is the drawing of the Demon Sect's underground palace. Xie Yong is willing to ask Your Majesty to destroy the Demon Sect.
Leave the medical genius to me."
"You are a good master." Xiao Jiuan raised his hand, and a secret guard appeared and took away the drawing in Xie Yong's hand.
"The evil doctor Ming Kuang stayed in the Demon Cult because of me. I can't be ungrateful." Xie Yong smiled bitterly and glanced at Wan Yan, the scholar beside him, from the corner of his eye, and his eyes couldn't help but moisten.
His life is sad, but he is also lucky. He has no love for his parents, but has a connection with his elders. Whether it is the evil doctor Ming Kuang or the scholar Wan Yan, they all stay because of him, and they are even willing to take risks for him.
He didn't have any freedom in the first half of his life. He only wanted his descendants to live like human beings.
His face and his identity are destined to prevent him from being free. Even if he destroys this face, it will be useless. His superior half-brother who sits on the throne will never allow him, a "royal disgrace", to live.
world.
He has always known what he wants and what he has to do to maximize his benefits. He has been walking very steadily over the years, and every step has been in line with his expectations, except for the young King of Yanbei in front of him.
King Yan Bei's decision was beyond his imagination. He thought that Xiao Jiu'an would at most arrange a place for him, but he did not expect that Xiao Jiu'an would choose to keep him.
It must be said that Xiao Jiuan dared to use him, which was very bold, but it also made him excited.
After studying with the scholar Wan Yan for more than ten years, he would definitely not be reconciled deep down if he could hide his name and become an ordinary person from now on.
And his husband must not be willing to be an ordinary person. He really has not thought about revenge now, but he still can't let go of the nearly a thousand lives of the Wan family in his heart.
Thousands of lives, including respected elders and innocent and simple children, died tragically overnight. No one was spared. It is impossible for an individual to completely let go.
It is a good thing for them that the King of Yanbei is willing to keep him. He will prove to the King of Yanbei that he is worthy of Xie Yong.
The ghost-faced young master Xie Yong reached an agreement with Xiao Jiuan and stayed in Xiaozhuangzi for the last time and did not return to the Demon Cult again.
There was nothing in the Demon Cult that he could cherish. In the first half of his life, the only things he cared about were his mentor, the scholar Wan Yan, and the evil doctor Ming Kuang who saved his life. As long as these two people were fine, he would be the same wherever he was.
Moreover, even if he wants to go back now, Xiao Jiuan will not allow it. Although it is said that people are employed without doubt and those with doubts are not used, but for the superiors, there are so many people who do not need to be doubted, and how can it be possible to use them without doubt?
one person?
Anyone with some ability cannot be loyal and honest, and be devoted to only one person. It is good to die for a confidant, but the prerequisite is that you have to become his confidant.
It is the idea of most superiors to hire people who are suspicious of them, and to employ people with suspicion. Xiao Jiuan does not believe in Xie Yong, but he still wants to use Xie Yong, and he must use Xie Yong with great importance.
Afterward, Ji Yunkai also asked why Xie Yong had to be used. Xie Yong was not an easy person to control, and the trouble he brought was far greater than the value.
Xiao Jiuan told him: "Xie Yong is indeed troublesome, and his ambition is not small. However, the thing I am not afraid of the most is trouble, and I have the ability to control him. I am not afraid of his betrayal at all. Why not use it?"
"You have a better choice, Xie Yong is not." At least in Ji Yunkai's view, Xie Yong is not the best choice.
The King of Yanbei wants to hire people, but is he worried that there will be no one available?
"It's the same for everyone! There is no one in this world that I cannot control. There is no one in this world that I dare not use." He is Xiao Jiu'an, and he has this confidence.
"As long as the stakes of betrayal are high enough, anyone may betray. Before they betray, I will choose to believe them until they betray me." The people he chooses will bear the price of their betrayal.
.Similarly, those who betray him must also bear the consequences of betraying him.
He, Xiao Jiuan, has never been a kind person and would not be nice to someone for nothing.
Except for Ji Yunkai, in his eyes, everyone can only be divided into valuable and worthless... (To be continued)
