Although Liu Yuan was not good at strategy, he was not stupid either. He understood Wang Rong's intention. He thought about it and said, "You mean, I didn't obey the imperial edict and instead responded to Zhu Wen's request and killed the eunuch. In the eyes of others, , Am I going to eliminate dissidents for Zhu Wen and completely isolate the Tang Emperor?"...
Wang Rong nodded and said: "That's right. Ruzhuo, there is nothing wrong with you killing the eunuch, but the time you killed him was wrong. If you had done it earlier or later, you wouldn't have done this. But you chose Zhu Wen. Killing people when they have different intentions really makes people think too much."
Duguye said: "Brother Liu, you were used by Zhu Wen. He used you to get rid of the eunuchs, and then revealed the news to some Jianghu people loyal to the Tang Dynasty, making them resent you and even sent people to kill you. You, in this way, Zhu Wen and others can reap the benefits without spending a single soldier."
Wang Rong said: "What Brother Dugu said is not wrong. After Ruzhuo killed the eunuch, in Zhu Wen's eyes, your death, although harmless, is still a hidden danger. But if you die, Zhu Wen can rest easy."
Liu Yuandao: "So, in Zhu Wen's eyes, I am already an abandoned son?"
Wang Rong said: "Not bad."
Liu Yuan said again: "Then what does this have to do with you hiding it from me? Just tell me the truth and I will act in a play with you."
Wang Rong took a sip of tea and said: Ruzhuo, why do you still not understand? I can't spend my whole life pretending to be dead. I will eventually come to the stage one day. Then, once Zhu Wen knows that I am not dead, he will definitely have doubts.
"Why should I fake my death? What is the purpose of my fake death? Who else in the world knows about this?
"Ruzhuo, I said before, Zhu Wen is so powerful that it is not difficult to find out the relationship between you and me. So, by that time, when Zhu Wen knows that I am not dead, who will he find to find out about this matter?
"As I said before, the three of us each have our own power, and Zhu Wen doesn't dare to tamper with it. If the three of us can't do it, he can only ask Ruzhuo you.
"Zhu Wen knows what kind of scheming I have. Knowing that I faked my death, there must be something big to plan. Therefore, Ru Zhuo, Zhu Wen will definitely catch you at all costs, and even use the power of the army. So, Ru Zhuo , are you confident that you won’t be captured by Zhu Wen? Even if you said you didn’t know I was faking my death at that time, think about it, would Zhu Wen believe it?”
Liu Yuan shook his head.
Facing Jianghu people, Liu Yuan is confident. But if facing the army, Liu Yuan has no confidence at all.
As for whether Zhu Wen will believe it, there is no need to think about this issue at all.
Wang Rong said: "Ruzhuo, only by hiding this from you will you think that I am really dead, and then you will go to Zhu Wen for revenge. Only when Zhu Wen sees how desperate you are, will he believe that you really don't know about my fake death." . Then, when I come to the stage, he will not be disadvantageous to you."
Got it, everything is clarified.
This is a game of chess, a game without players. In this game of chess, everyone is a pawn, including Wang Rong himself.
Liu Yuan is a crucial piece on this chessboard. Every move he makes affects the next direction of the chess game. Only if he believes that Wang Rong is really dead, Zhu Wen will believe it, and this game of chess can continue. Only in this way can Liu Yuan live and not become an abandoned son.
Liu Yuan felt bitterness in his mouth. He looked at Wang Rong and said, "So all this is your fault. Is the purpose to hide it from Zhu Wen and Li Keyong?"
Wang Rong stood up, saluted Liu Yuan, and said: "Ruzhuo, you are the one I feel most sorry for in this matter. Back then, when you broke into Zhu Wen's military camp for me, I was really afraid that you would He died because of this. I really want to tell you, but I know that if you knew about this in advance, then I would have harmed you."
Liu Yuan looked complicated and said, "Then why didn't you tell me earlier, but why did you hide it from me for so long?"
Wang Rong said: "Zhu Wen is so suspicious. If I tell you for too long, he will definitely notice something strange. I'm not sure how long Zhu Wen will secretly monitor you. Therefore, Ruzhuo, I really don't dare to tell you." "
Liu Yuandao: "Then why do you want to tell me now?"
Wang Rong said: "Because I no longer want to fake my death. At this time, Zhu Wen deposed the Tang Dynasty and proclaimed himself emperor, and the situation with Li Keyong was at war. The time has come, and it is time for me to show up."
"Ruzhuo, I really can't help you. If you have any resentment in your heart, then I will let you deal with it until you calm down."
After hearing the cause and effect of the matter, Liu Yuan no longer had the strength to pursue it further. What's more, his friend is not dead, everything is happy, and he doesn't want to pursue it anymore.
Liu Yuan waved his hand and said: "That's it, it's all over."
Wang Rong then sat down.
Duguye smiled and said, "Now that we've said it, how about we have a drink?"
Liu Yuan smiled bitterly, picked up the cup and said, "Please."
Jiang Tian took one look at it and said with some disgust: "Brother Wang, why are you so stingy? Why don't you give me tea instead of wine?"
Wang Rong raised the cup and said angrily: "Drink if you like. If not, get out of here. I won't serve you anymore."
"Drink, how can you not drink? I am famous for being able to take advantage of Chengde Jiedushi."
"Isn't the name of the majestic God of Bows not big enough?"
The four of them laughed, clinked their cups, and drank the tea in one gulp.
Wang Rong said: "Shall I ask Qingcheng to come in?"
Liu Yuan was a little confused and said: "Why did you ask a woman to come in?"
Wang Rong rolled his eyes at Liu Yuan and said: "Ruzhuo, this is a brothel, not a restaurant. In a restaurant, you can drink tea all night and talk about things all night; but it is different here. In a brothel, four grown men are together. Do not ask women to come in and accompany you in every room. If anyone finds out about this, hehe, I'm sorry, I don't have such a thick skin, and I don't want others to mistakenly think that I am as good as Long Yang."
Liu Yuan choked immediately.
Jiang Tianyi said: "It is said in the world that a charming dance can captivate an entire city in one dance. Today, I would like to see it."
Duguye also said: "It must have been a long time since Qingcheng danced. If she doesn't practice, she might become rusty. It would be good to take this opportunity to let Qingcheng relive it a few times."
Liu Yuan: "..."
Liu Yuan couldn't hold back and said: "Dugu Ye, if you want to see it, just say it. Why is it so obscure?"
Wang Rong laughed and shouted toward the door: "Qingcheng, come in."
After Gu Qingcheng responded, she pushed the door open and closed the door again.
Wang Rong said: "Do you want to listen to music or watch dancing? Or together?"
Jiang Tian said: "Manly man, don't be indecisive, naturally we are together."
Duguye deeply agreed.
Liu Yuan covered his face and had nothing to say to his two friends.
It’s not a good idea to make friends.
