Chapter 1198 A dead move
The silence of the night was broken by the rumble of horse hooves. Although the surroundings were dark and there were only two groups of people holding torches for lighting, so they walked very slowly, the sound of horse hooves kept ringing in their ears. There is still an inexplicable sense of urgency that makes one's breathing and heartbeat uncontrollably heavy.
But, this is just someone else.
Xiao Yuansui was sitting in the carriage. Although his body was shaking with the carriage, he was very calm, and even half-squinted his eyes to calm himself.
Until the person sitting opposite him finally couldn't hold back and spoke first: "Xiao——"
He only called his last name and then stopped, as if he was thinking about how to call him. Xiao Yuansui sneered in his heart, and then slowly opened his eyes - it was more than half a month since he was captured, or surrendered. , he has never taken care of himself, his beard is crazy long and unkempt, and his clothes are just an ordinary cloth, which is stained with a lot of dirt at the moment, and he is almost back to the messy look he had when he was evading capture by the officers and soldiers and hiding everywhere.
But even so, those eyes were still dazzling, shining brightly in the dark car.
When Yu Wencheng met his eyes, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
He is unscrupulous and can beat up a seventy-year-old man without mercy. During a war, he can also crush the fields and properties that farmers rely on for survival without blinking an eye. To him, the existence of others is meaningless. The only thing that frightened him was his second brother Yu Wenye, who had always oppressed him - but now, with the support of the prince and the fact that the emperor was dissatisfied with Yu Wenye, Yu Wencheng felt that he had nothing to fear.
But the gaze of the person in front of him gave him an inexplicable sense of oppression.
But as the King of Qi, he still couldn't lose his face. Yu Wencheng took a deep breath to suppress the uneasiness in his heart, and then smiled and said: "Mr. Xiao, it's been a long time."
Xiao Yuansui smiled faintly: "Have I met His Highness King Qi?"
Yuwen Cheng smiled and said: "Maybe you don't remember, but I still remember that you met my second brother and sister-in-law on the way out of Luoyang, and they gave you a bag of dry food."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuansui's bright eyes dimmed slightly.
This matter, if you don't think about it, seems to have happened in the past life, but when Yu Wencheng suddenly mentioned it, everything seemed to be right in front of you.
At this moment, his situation seemed to be back to the original one. Although he was not as precarious as a lost dog, the feeling of doubting everything, being powerless, and not knowing what to do was still swallowing him up like the darkness around him.
In the dim memory, the only bright thing was those calm eyes facing him.
His breath hitched suddenly.
At the same time, Yu Wencheng's chuckle rang in his ears again, which suddenly brought Xiao Yuanshui back to his senses. He raised his eyes to look at the other party, and saw Yu Wencheng saying angrily: "One bag of dry food, that's all." Sent Mr. Xiao away.”
"..."
Xiao Yuansui was silent for a moment, then laughed and said: "I didn't expect that His Highness King Qi was also present at that time."
"..."
"It's me, blind to the true God."
This compliment made Yu Wencheng feel comfortable, but he still said immediately: "Speaking of true gods or not, I am just a little King of Qi, but you, Mr. Xiao - have you ever thought about what you will do in the future?"< br>
Xiao Yuansui heard this and looked at him with deep meaning: "His Royal Highness, King Qi, brought Xiao out. Then isn't Xiao's future in the hands of King Qi?"
"..."
"What does King Qi want from Xiao?"
Yu Wencheng's eyes suddenly lit up and he said to him: "I want to take you back to Chang'an to meet the real - 'True God'."
Xiao Yuansui didn't seem to be surprised by this statement. When he met the other party's burning eyes, he said: "Could it be, His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Yuwen Cheng was surprised: "You know?"
Xiao Yuansui said lightly: "Although I have lived in Luoyang for a long time, I have heard about the things in Guanzhong. Moreover, in the battle of Luoyang, Yu Wenye was so calculating that he almost didn't give any credit to His Highness King Qi. He certainly has meritorious service. Yes, but obviously, he still wants to take credit for this move.”
Mentioning this, Yu Wencheng's face also darkened.
However, in front of outsiders, he couldn't say much about the war in Luoyang this time. After all, he couldn't win in one battle, and he was the one who couldn't make any contribution. At the moment, all his achievements depended on bringing back the person in front of him, so he simply waved his hand and threw it away. He opened this topic and then said: "Well, I wonder what Mr. Xiao wants?"
Xiao Yuansui did not speak immediately, but half-squinted his eyes, with an imperceptible light surging in his bright and restrained eyes.
After a while, he smiled softly.

Xiao Yuansui's plan?
Hearing these words, Shang Ruyi was stunned for a moment, and then came back to his senses.
That's right, they all only regard Xiao Yuansui as a tool of literary, Taoist, military, and extraordinary intelligence. Whoever follows him will be more powerful than a tiger, but they forget that he is not a tool that can be manipulated by others.
At this time, she also remembered the last words Yu Wenye said to Shang Shoufei in the lobby - Xiao Yuanshui was a sharpened knife.
If you use this kind of knife improperly, you will hurt yourself.
However, if used properly...
Shang Ruyi suddenly tightened his breath and lowered his voice: "Will Xiao Yuansui agree to them?" Yu Wenye was silent for a moment and said: "It's hard to say."
Shang Ruyi looked at him with wide eyes in surprise, as if asking - how could you not know? Facing such a look, Yu Wenye laughed dumbly: "You don't really think that I know everything and can do everything, do you?"
"..."
Hearing this, Shang Ruyi blinked and smiled himself.
Over the years, no matter what kind of difficulties, even desperate situations, Yu Wenye has always been able to fight back. Even when he is in desperate situations, as long as he thinks of him or sees him, he can generate unlimited power. Gradually, , he seems to have become a symbol of hope, and seems to be truly omniscient and omnipotent.
However, how can people's hearts be so easy to guess?
What's more, it's someone like Xiao Yuansui.
But after Yu Wenye laughed, he thought for a long time, and then said: "Actually, no matter what his thoughts are, there are only two situations, one is to agree to them, and the other is to reject them."
Shang Ruyi frowned: "If Xiao Yuansui really agrees to them, that means that when we return to Chang'an, we will face -"
Yu Wenye nodded silently.
A prince and Yu Wencheng are already difficult to deal with.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Now, if another Xiao Yuansui is added——
Shang Ruyi felt her head aching slightly, but Yu Wenye's next words really made her feel dizzy: "Of course, there is another possibility, that is, if he doesn't agree, we can get him out of Yan Jie's hands. I want to come back.”
Hearing this, Shang Ruyi frowned even more involuntarily: "But——"
Seeing the way she hesitated to speak, Yu Wenye knew that she and he had thought of being together, and felt a little happy in his heart, but this kind of joy could not dispel the haze that filled their hearts at the moment. He said solemnly: " Both the Crown Prince and King Qi know that Xiao Yuansui is extremely capable, and if he cannot be used for their own purposes, then they will definitely not let me use him.”
Shang Ruyi said: "So, if you can't use it for yourself, you must kill it!"
Yu Wenye said: "But we must not let Xiao Yuansui die."
Shang Ruyi took a deep breath and stared at him with stern eyes. Yu Wenye said in a deep voice: "Because he was once the commander of Wanggang Village. His life and death are not important, but he is connected with all the old members of Wanggang Village." ”
"..."
"At least half of my subordinates are from Wanggang Village."
"..."
"If I can't save him, I may be able to appease people like Shen Tutai and Shan Tong'er, but the people below will inevitably have dissent - and the tens of thousands of people who followed him to surrender me this time. By then, they don't need to do anything, I will The people on the side will be confused first.”
Shang Ruyi said: "So, if the prince really wants to kill him, we must protect him."
Yu Wenye nodded: "But."
At this point, it seemed that the words had come to an end, but Shang Ruyi's frowned brows still did not loosen. Instead, they frowned even tighter, and his eyes became more gloomy.
She lay back and stared up at the dark roof above her like Yu Wenye just now. After being silent for a long time, she slowly said: "If, I mean if, it really comes to that point, he can't be used by the prince, and the prince and King Qi wants to find a way to kill him, and we must save him, so save him—"
Yu Wenye said: "He will be useless."
"...!"
Shang Ruyi's breath sank.
Yu Wenye's tone was calm with a hint of coolness, and he said: "I just said that Xiao Yuansui is a sharpened sword. It is difficult for ordinary people to sharpen the edge and make a scabbard for him. Even if I can beat him this time, there is no guarantee that I can beat him the next time.”
"..."
"If the prince lets him come back to us alive, who can believe him, you or me?"
Shang Ruyi was speechless.
Yes, she had just realized that from the moment Yu Wencheng took Xiao Yuansui away from their military camp, this had become a dead end.
Xiao Yuansui is not Shen Tutai, nor is he a good boy. No one can see through him, and no one can completely grasp him. Even if he is no longer used by the prince, even if they really rescue him from the prince's hands, But is that true or false? Is he really unable to be used by the prince, or is it a trap set up by him and the prince?
If he comes back to them, but he is making suggestions for the prince——
Then, if he alone can defeat all the civil servants and generals in the prince's camp, he will be a hundred times more troublesome for them than before.
In other words, by taking him away this time, Yu Wencheng directly turned the chess piece named "Xiao Yuansui" that Yu Wenye could use into a dead chess piece.
Shang Ruyi couldn't help but gritted his teeth: "He is so cruel..."
Yu Wenye did not speak, and the last candle in the room seemed to be unable to withstand their gloomy mood at the moment. After shaking for a few times, it finally let out a final "呲" cry and was completely extinguished.
Everything returns to darkness.
