Duguye said: "Brother Liu, let me ask you, do you have the power to surround yourself?"...
Liu Yuan was silent for a moment and said, "Probably not."
Duguye nodded and said: "You don't, but the three of us are different from you. We each have our own power. If Zhu Wen wants to touch us, he has to think about whether it is worth it.
"I am the head of the Dugu family. Needless to say, I have an entire family as my backing. In addition, I almost control Fan Yang. For the sake of the overall situation, Zhu Wen will not touch me easily.
So is Brother Wang. He was the envoy of Chengde, with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command. Zhu Wen and Li Ke used a chess piece to check and balance each other. For the sake of the general trend of the world, Zhu Wen would not touch him. Oh, Brother Liu, I know what you want to say. You want to say, if this is the case, why does Brother Wang still fake his death, right? "
Liu Yuan nodded.
This was also what puzzled him the most. Logically speaking, as a tycoon of the generation, Zhu Wen could not be so stupid. How could he kill Wang Rong for no reason?
Duguye smiled and said: "It's very simple. Brother Wang, what I say next may be a little offensive, but I hope Haihan will do it."
Wang Rong said: "No problem. Brother Dugu, feel free to speak freely."
Dugu Ye paused and said: "Although Brother Wang's power is not weak, there is still a gap compared with Zhu Wen. It's not that Zhu Wen won't touch Brother Wang, but he won't touch Brother Wang openly to avoid falling into the trap. In fact. In secret, Zhu Wen can send experts to carry out the assassination mission. Even if it fails, with Zhu Wen's methods and the degree of confidentiality of the Shadow Pavilion, he will definitely not be found. For example, if Brother Wang dies now Does anyone here know that it was Zhu Wen who did it?"
Liu Yuan said thoughtfully, "That makes sense."
Dugu Ye continued: "As for Jiang Tianyi, there is no need to mention it. He is the only one in the world who is free, and he also holds Poyun Bow and Jianghai Arrow. If Zhu Wen offends him, how can he get any good results? What's more, Brother Liu, it’s not like you don’t know that although Jiang Tianyi is alone now, he is not really without power.”
Jiang Tianyi frowned and said, "Dugu Ye, that's enough."
At Jiang Tianyi's level of cultivation, he has already reached the state where God moves and Heaven follows. Just a change in mood seemed to make the whole room plummet downwards. At this moment, even those with high internal strength cultivation, such as Liu Yuan and the others, only felt a tightness in their chests and the movement of their internal energy was slightly blocked.
Dugu Ye stepped up his internal power, and the Zhulong Sword was accidentally released, wrestling with Jiang Tianyi's internal power.
"Jiang Tianyi, stop."
Jiang Tianyi also knew that he had lost his composure just now, so with a thought, he recovered the leaked internal energy, raised his hands to Dugu Ye and the others, and said, "I'm sorry, I lost my composure."
Jiang Tianyi rarely looked so serious. It seemed that Dugu Ye's words really hit his back.
"I am no longer from that place. Don't associate me with that place."
Duguye apologized deeply and said, "Brother Jiang, I'm sorry."
Jiang Tianyi shook his head and said, "It's okay, you can continue talking."
Duguye continued: "Brother Liu, the three of us have something to rely on more or less, what do you have?"
Liu Yuan exhaled heavily and said: "Except for this martial arts, I have almost nothing."
Duguye sighed softly: "Then, if Zhu Wen kills you, there is no need to consider the consequences. And brother Liu, to be honest, the number of your enemies is more than the three of us combined, and they are all famous sects." . Zhu Wen’s power is not weak in the first place, and with the addition of these Jianghu sects, even if they can’t kill you, they can make you never have peace for the rest of your life.”
Liu Yuan looked at Wang Rong and said, "I'm not afraid of these."
Wang Rong said seriously: "But I'm afraid."
Liu Yuandao: "Can you tell me why Zhu Wen wants to kill you?"
Wang Rong hesitated for a moment and said: "That's all, these are all our own people, there is nothing we can't say. Brother Liu, do you know the general trend of the world today?"
Liu Yuandao said: "Zhu Wen and Li Keyong stood side by side, and the other Jiedushi envoys also dominated one side. Among them, Xichuan Jiedushi envoy Wang Jian was the most dominant."
Wang Rong nodded, his face full of bitterness, and said: "It's not that I want to fake my death, but it's actually forced by the situation. Although I have tens of thousands of troops, I can be regarded as a prince, but I am caught between Li Keyong and The two gods of plague, Zhu Wen, were really in a dilemma. Because of Li Cunxiao, I had no choice but to show my goodwill to Li Keyong and offer 500,000 pieces of silk. As a result, Zhu Wen came to the door immediately and proposed peace and marriage to Zhu Wen. , Li Keyong also sent troops to fight, this - I can't afford to suffer from both ends, but I can't leave such a big family fortune and wander around the world alone, right?"
Liu Yuan patted Wang Rong with some sympathy but said nothing.
It's a bit miserable.
In any other place, Wang Rong could be king and dominate like Wang Jian. It's a pity that Chengde's position is too important. No matter who Wang Rong forms an alliance with, it will affect the general trend of the world. Therefore, as long as Wang Rong is still there, he will never have a stable life.
Wang Rong said: "Later, I really had enough, so I decided to fake my death to escape. I originally chose to be at the banquet hosted by Zhu Wen, and secretly ordered my assassins to pretend to assassinate me. Unexpectedly, the fake family thief attracted the real person. foreign enemy.
"The reason why I acted at the banquet was to blame Zhu Wen. I have already plotted it. As soon as I die, my generals will immediately defect to Li Keyong, and Li Keyong does not have to worry that they will defect to him again. Zhu Wen. By then, Li Keyong and I will join forces with our two families, and it will not be difficult to suppress Zhu Wen. When the situation stabilizes, I will move from behind the scenes to the front. By then, Zhu Wen's power must have been greatly reduced. Then, I won't have to suffer from this splint.
"But I calculated everything, but I missed one point. Zhu Wen really wants to kill me. If he kills me, he can directly annex Chengde. To this end, he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to invite Duiying Pavilion. The top killer.
"At the banquet, Jing Yuyan disguised himself as a servant who was pouring wine. When he was five steps away from me, he suddenly attacked. I was caught off guard and was stabbed in the back by him.
"Speaking of it, I'm really lucky. If I hadn't moved my heart three inches to the right in order to make the assassination more realistic, I might have really died."
Liu Yuan suddenly spoke up and said, "I'm sorry."
Wang Rong waved his hands repeatedly and said: Ruzhuo, I can’t blame you. "
Liu Yuandao: "But you still haven't made it clear why Zhu Wen came to kill me after I knew you faked your death?"
