Liu Yu sighed and gently lifted Murong Lan's hand: "Because, I want to take you back to Dajin. Your identity will be my fatal injury and will also put you in extreme danger. It turns out that I I always thought that the Xie family had the ability to protect me, but since the Mafia organization was made public, I know that they don’t have this ability now. Since I can’t eliminate them all at once, I can only cooperate temporarily.”
The corner of Murong Lan's mouth curled up slightly: "This is not like the Liu Yu I know. The Liu Yu I know will not trade or cooperate with the enemy."
Liu Yu said seriously: "If I were the only one, I would not compromise or give in to anyone. I would only stick to my principles, but it is different now, I have you."
He said, his eyes full of tenderness, and he gently stroked the hair on Murong Lan's forehead.
A trace of tenderness flashed in Murong Lan's eyes: "Are you really willing to make such a change for me?"
Liu Yu nodded: "You are willing to come back to Dajin with me. This is the only way I can repay this affection. But, dear, I hope that from now on, we will no longer have any barriers or concealments."
Murong Lan sighed faintly: "I hope so too, but now we are in a hostile position after all. If one day, there is no Dayan, there is no Dayin, and we can truly face each other heart to heart, that will be Something I could only dream of.”
Liu Yu shook his head: "Let's not talk about it. At least this time, we can go home. What the mafia wants is a world where their family controls everything. Now their biggest enemies are the emperor and the King of Kuaiji, not me, so, Before that, they should not attack us, which gives me time and opportunity."
Murong Lan was surprised: "After you return to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, can you really let go of your grudges?"
Liu Yu sneered and said: "Of course I won't let it go so easily, but as long as they don't offend me for the time being, I can stop treating them as enemies for the time being, unless they want to cause trouble in the next Northern Expedition. If I kill Suzaku today, then I will completely become their enemy. Even if I return to Dajin, I will still face conspiracies again and again. But now, I can at least put aside my worries in this regard for the time being. I can even cooperate with them on a limited basis to find out the details of this organization. When there is another opportunity for the Northern Expedition, I will not let them stop me again."
Murong Lan frowned: "You still can't let go of the Northern Expedition. One day, you will really have to fight with Dayan and my brother for your life!"
Liu Yu sighed: "Let's talk about these things later, okay? I'm going back to Dajin now. I just want to settle down my family and keep my brothers safe. I don't know how long this royal infighting will last. Your eldest brother is already old. He is over sixty years old. I know your feelings for him, but if he is gone and your nephews fight, even if we in the Jin Dynasty do not take action, I am afraid that Tuoba Si and Hou Qin will not sit back and watch. Ignore it.”
Murong Lan gritted his teeth: "Liu Yu, if I go back to Dajin with you, I will never agree to help you deal with my motherland one day. If that happens, I will have no choice but to leave you."
Liu Yu nodded. From Murong Lan's eyes, he saw a kind of perseverance and determination: "I hope that this day will never come. I love my dear, I am serious about it."
Murong Lan slowly lay down, turned around, and turned his back to Liu Yu: "I'm tired, go find Huan Xuan. I think you have your own intentions in keeping him alive. As for you and I don’t want to know or hear what deal he wants to make.”
Liu Yu frowned and sighed. He knew that Murong Lan had guessed what he was thinking again. He stood up, turned around and left the tent. Murong Lan's beautiful eyes shed two lines of clear tears and murmured: "Liu Yu, one day you will regret returning to Jin."
A moment later, Tuoba tribe, dungeon.
This place is more like a cellar than a dungeon. Huan Xuan was tied up with five flowers and curled up on the ground like a dumpling. His face was ashen. This once arrogant young master from aristocratic family has lost all pride now. Just waiting to die here.
On the top of the dungeon, the ceiling creaked, followed by a burst of fire. A glimmer of hope flashed in Huan Xuan's eyes. He looked up to the top, only to see Liu Yu holding a torch and walking down slowly. , the glimmer of hope in his eyes suddenly turned into despair, he turned his head aside bitterly, closing his eyes and saying nothing.
Liu Yu hung the torch on the wall and sat cross-legged opposite Huan Xuan: "Master Huan, now that things have happened, do you have anything else to say?"
Huan Xuan said bitterly: "Kill if you want, Liu Yu, why do you have to humiliate me like this?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Why did I humiliate you? Compared with the conspiracy you did against me and the frame-up of the Beifu Army, these are less than one percent."
Huan Xuan sat up with difficulty and looked at Liu Yu, with a trace of resentment flashing in his eyes: "What I did was just to regain the honor that my father had taken away from me. Liu Yu, how did they treat you, the Beifu Army? That's how I treated my father back then, I was just retaliating with tooth, but you were on Xie An's side!"
Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "The soldiers of the Beifu Army have not wronged your Huan family. If you want revenge, just go to them. Why implicate innocent people? What's more, what you want is not to avenge your father, but to avenge your father." It’s just to gain power for yourself, but now, you still don’t admit it?”
Huan Xuan suddenly burst out laughing: "Is there a conflict between revenge and seizing power? I have no power, how can I take revenge and eliminate these aristocratic families in the shadows? Liu Yu, you keep saying that you are righteous and noble, but in fact you are not. Now that you have become a person like me, haven’t you started using these power tactics?”
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "I want to thank you for your teaching and training over the years, turning me from the naive Jingkou farmer to the person I am now. Huan Xuan, you proposed to cooperate with me before, but I refused. , but now I can tell you that I now officially accept this proposal."
Huan Xuan's expression changed drastically. He shook his head in disbelief and looked at Liu Yu: "Are you willing to cooperate with me? Liu Yu, are you crazy?"
Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "Because you have completely turned against the mafia, it is now possible for us to cooperate. Huan Xuan, maybe I can help you realize your dream of being an emperor."
Huan Xuan gritted his teeth: "Do you want to use me to deal with the mafia?"
Liu Yu said coldly: "It's not called confrontation, but more accurately, it's checks and balances. I can't let the mafia destroy the Beifu Army in the civil war. Therefore, only you punching and kicking in Jingzhou will be the biggest blow to the Beifu Army." Protection, not Suzaku’s promise!”
