It started to rain heavily outside, and Liu Xie and Lin Yushui entered the room together. The room was a little stuffy, and both of them took off their outer clothes and only wore inner clothes.
"It's raining so hard." Lin Yushui walked to the window and looked at the rain curtain outside.
Liu Xie nodded, but was thinking in his heart that he didn't know how long this rain would take to affect his itinerary.
"Brother Liu, what's wrong with you?" Lin Yushui noticed Liu Xie's strangeness.
Liu Xie came to his senses, smiled, and said, "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about something."
Lin Yushui looked at Liu Xie, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he did not ask, but changed the subject.
"Brother Liu, you said before that you lived in a farmhouse when you were a child, and then you worked with a relative in business. So what are you doing now?"
Liu Xie felt nervous. He made up a lie before, but he didn't expect Lin Yushui to continue asking. He thought for a while and said, "I'm... wandering around now."
"Wandering everywhere?" Lin Yushui looked at Liu Xie in surprise, "Why?"
Liu Xie lowered his head and said softly: "I..."
Lin Yushui was stunned for a moment, then understood what Liu Xie meant. He walked to Liu Xie and said, "Brother Liu, everyone has their own difficulties, I understand you."
Liu Xie looked at Lin Yushui gratefully, and a trace of tears flashed in his eyes. He did not expect that he would meet such a person who understood him in this strange place.
"Thank you, Brother Lin." Liu Xie said.
Lin Yushui smiled and said, "You're welcome."
Liu Xie nodded, feeling a little warmth in his heart.
He looked at the rain curtain outside the window and prayed in his heart, hoping that the rain would stop as soon as possible and let him leave here and go to Youzhou as soon as possible.
Lin Yushui looked at Liu Xie and felt a little emotional.
He felt that Liu Xie was a person with a story. Although he didn't say it, Lin Yushui could feel the heaviness and sadness on him.
"Brother Liu, what are your plans?" Lin Yushui asked.
Liu Xie sighed and said, "I want to go to Youzhou to surrender...my uncle."
Lin Yushui smiled and said nothing. He knew that Liu Xie was unwilling to talk about his affairs, so he did not ask any more questions.
After chatting for a while, the rain gradually stopped. Lin Yushui walked to the window, opened the window, and a fresh air came to her face.
"The rain has stopped." Lin Yushui said.
After a while, after Liu Xie fell asleep, Lin Yushui sat quietly aside and stared at his face.
Suddenly, he felt something was wrong with Liu Xie.
He found that Liu Xie seemed to be hiding something. His body was tense and his breathing became rapid.
Lin Yushui began to doubt Liu Xie's identity. He remembered Liu Xie's previous behavior of inquiring about rebel news, and he said that he had never lived in a farmhouse, which made Lin Yushui even more suspicious that he was lying.
"Who is he?" Lin Yushui thought to himself.
He began to recall every detail of being with Liu Xie, trying to find some clues.
Lin Yushui felt that he seemed to be hiding something important. He began to doubt Liu Xie's true identity, maybe he was not an ordinary person.
Lin Yushui thought to himself, and he made a bold guess. His heartbeats as if he was about to jump out of his chest.
"Can this person be the emperor?" Lin Yushui couldn't help but murmur. His thoughts were turning rapidly.
The emperor happened to go out, and Liu Xie's words and behavior, as well as his attention to the rebel news, made Lin Yushui feel this suspicious.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the possibility was very high, and he couldn't help but feel scared and sweated. If Liu Xie was really the emperor, then he had to be more cautious and not let him discover his suspicion.
Lin Yushui took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
Then, Lin Yushui had an idea in mind. He immediately laughed. Seeing that the rain had completely stopped outside, he quietly left his uncle's house.
Lin Yushui hurriedly passed through the mountains and forests, his heartbeats very quickly, but his determination became stronger. He knew that he had to find Liu Song and told him his discovery.
Finally, Lin Yu came to a secret cave.
He walked into the cave carefully and saw Liu Song sleeping. He woke Liu Song gently.
After Liu Song was woken up, he rubbed his eyes with some displeasure. When he saw that it was Lin Yushui, his expression suddenly calmed down.
"Lin Yushui, why are you here?" Liu Song asked softly.
"Liu Song, I have something important to tell you." Lin Yushui lowered his voice and said mysteriously.
"What's so urgent?" Liu Song sat up and looked at Lin Yushui.
"Today I live at my uncle's house, and there is a guest there. I suspect he is Liu Xie." Lin Yushui said.
Liu Song widened his eyes and looked at Lin Yushui in surprise.
"What did you say? Are you really? Why do you have such suspicion?" Liu Song asked.
Lin Yushui told Liu Song all the way to his observations and speculations about Liu Xie.
He described Liu Xie's words and deeds, his attention to the rebel news, and his subtle interactions with Lin Yushui.
Liu Song listened quietly to Lin Yushui's narrative, and his face gradually became serious.
Liu Song was ecstatic. If what Lin Yushui said was true, then he could have killed Liu Xie today.
Afterwards, he saw that there were many familiar brothers around him.
These are all my brothers and brothers who follow me through life and death.
It is necessary to kill Liu Xie and become the emperor so that these brothers can all get a single official position.
He suppressed his inner excitement and said to Lin Yushui: "Are you sure he is still there?"
Lin Yushui nodded and said softly: "I'm sure he's there now. It's impossible for him to sneak out at night."
Liu Song almost jumped up in excitement, but he still restrained his emotions and said, "Okay, then you can lead the way quickly and let's go."
Lin Yushui nodded and quietly walked out of the cave with Liu Song.
It was very quiet outside, with only the sound of footsteps and breathing of the two of them.
Liu Song followed Lin Yushui tightly, holding the hilt of the sword in his hand, ready to take action at any time.
He thought to himself: "This time we must succeed, and we can't let Liu Xie escape anymore."
Finally, they came to the old man's house.
Lin Yushui pointed to the room and said softly: "He is inside."
Liu Song nodded, signaled Lin Yushui to wait at the door, and walked in quietly.
Liu Song looked carefully at the bed.
Liu Song looked closely and found that it was indeed Liu Xie.
He was ecstatic and drew out his sword and walked quietly towards Liu Xie.
Suddenly, Liu Xie had a nightmare.
He dreamed that he was chased by a group of people, and he had nowhere to escape, and was finally killed by them.
He woke up and found himself covered in sweat.
He sat up and gasped, trying to calm himself down.
At this moment, he saw Liu Song standing in front of his bed, looking at him with a strange look.
He originally thought he had hallucinations, but after a closer look, it turned out to be so.
Liu Xie was startled and shouted for help.
There was another person at the door, Lin Yushui.
Lin Yushui looked at him with a sarcastic look and said, "You don't have to shout. No one will come to save you."
Only then did Liu Xie realize that it was Lin Yushui who guessed his identity and reported to Liu Song.
Anger and despair surged in his heart, and he cursed at Lin Yushui.
"Lin Yushui, what's going on?"
Lin Yushui said disapprovingly: "Don't blame me. I did this to make a fortune. And I have already guessed your identity. My Emperor, is I right?"
Liu Song said to Liu Xie: "For the sake of our family, we are allowed to say your last words and die again."
Liu Xie said: "Aren't you afraid of being uneasy?"
Liu Song said: "Conscience? Haha, how much money can conscience be worth? In the face of power and wealth, what is conscience?"
Liu Xie said: "You are doing something wrong."
Liu Song said, "You don't have to talk nonsense anymore. You have two ways to go now. One is to go back with me obediently and become my prisoner. The other is to resist and be killed by me. Which one do you choose?"
Liu Xie said: "I would rather die than surrender."
Liu Song said, "Okay. Then I will fulfill your wish."
Liu Song pulled out the sword around his waist and stabbed towards Liu Xie. Liu Xie closed his eyes and waited for the arrival of death.
When Liu Song saw that he was about to succeed, he suddenly screamed.
His body instinctively wanted to dodge, but it was too late.
A sharp dagger suddenly stretched out from under the bed and stabbed him in the thigh.
The moment the blade pierced into the flesh, a sharp pain came, making him unable to help but take a breath.
Liu Song tried to fight back with pain, and his hand quickly reached towards the weapon beside him, but the figure was faster than him.
The old man rolled out from under the bed at an astonishing speed, like a lurking cheetah, instantly pounced on Liu Song.
His movements were agile and rapid, and he did not give Liu Song any chance to resist.
The old man's eyes were full of murderous intent. He held another dagger in his hand, ready to give Liu Song a fatal blow. Liu Song struggled desperately, trying to get rid of the old man's control, but the old man's strength and skills were far superior to him.
At this critical moment, Liu Song realized that he was in a desperate situation and he had to find a way to escape, otherwise his life would face a serious threat.
The old man was quick and quickly pressed Liu Song to the ground. His movements were neat and neat, and did not give Liu Song any chance to resist.
Liu Song struggled to escape, but the old man's strength was far beyond his power, making him unable to move.
Lin Yushui didn't expect the old man to wait under the bed, and was stunned for a moment.
His eyes widened and his mouth opened, unable to believe what was happening in front of him.
He originally thought his uncle was just an ordinary old man, but he didn't expect that he had such amazing skills and hidden malice.
Lin Yushui's heartbeats faster and his voice trembled, "Uncle, why do you do this?"
His eyes were filled with confusion and fear, and he could not understand his uncle's motives and purpose.
The old man stared at Lin Yushui, his eyes cold and firm. He did not answer Lin Yushui's questions immediately, but remained silent.
His expression makes people unable to guess what he thinks, as if he has his own plans and considerations.
In this tense atmosphere, time seems to have frozen.
Liu Xie was also confused by this scene. He did not expect that he could survive in a desperate situation.
I never expected that this old man had such strong power. At this moment, the old man was like a mountain of Tai.
"You actually dare to kill the emperor, so you must die."
After saying this, the old man immediately stabbed the dagger into Liu Song's heart.
Liu Song died immediately, and as for his rebels, they had become a mess, so the old man was no longer afraid.
At this time, the old man stood up and came to Lin Yushui.
Lin Yushui seemed to have not reacted yet, and the old man had already slapped him.
The old man accused his nephew Lin Yushui very angrily, his voice full of disappointment and pain.
The old man said, "Lin Yushui, you are so careless! How can you betray the emperor's information in order to get benefits? Don't you know how much danger it will bring to the emperor? Don't you know how much damage it will bring to this?"
Lin Yushui lowered his head and did not dare to look at the old man's gaze.
His face was pale and his whole body was shaking.
He said, "Uncle, I...I didn't mean it. I was just confused for a moment and was blinded by money. I really regret it."
The old man said, "Didn't you do it on purpose? Do you think you can shirk responsibility by saying this? Do you think you can forgive yourself by saying this? You disappoint me so much. You hurt me so much."
The old man shed tears as he spoke.
He said, "How could I have such a nephew? How could I have such a nephew?"
When Liu Xie saw this scene, he felt a little embarrassed.
But he thought that the old man had saved his life and felt that he could not be too demanding on Lin Yushui.
Liu Xie said, "Forget it, old man. He was also confused for a moment and was blinded by money. He already knew he was wrong, so let him go."
The old man said, "Your Majesty, you are so tolerant. You are so kind. Such a person should not be forgiven by you."
Liu Xie said: "Old man, don't say anything more. After all, he is your nephew and my subject. I don't want to see him being punished too seriously."
The old man had no choice but to sigh and said, "Okay, Your Majesty, since you have said that, the grass people have nothing to say."
Lin Yushui looked at Liu Xie gratefully and said, "Your Majesty, thank you for your tolerance. Thank you for your great kindness and virtue. The grass-roots will definitely repay you."
Liu Xie said: "You don't have to repay me. You just need to remember the lessons this time and don't do such things again in the future."
Lin Yushui said: "Yes, the emperor. Caomin will definitely remember the lesson this time and will not do such a thing again in the future."
Liu Xie said: "Okay, you get up."
Lin Yushui said, "Yes, the emperor."
Lin Yushui stood up and seemed a little helpless.
Liu Xie said, "You go. I won't say much to you."
The implication is that Lin Yushui will not be allowed to stay here tonight.
Lin Yushui said, "Yes, the emperor."
Lin Yushui bowed to Liu Xie and turned around and left.
The old man once again apologized to Liu Xie on behalf of Lin Yushui.
The old man looked at Liu Xie with his eyes full of love and gratitude. He said, "But Master, as long as you are fine."
Liu Xie quickly got out of bed and thanked the old man. He said, "Old man, thank you for saving me. If it weren't for you, I would be done today."
Liu Xie bowed immediately.
The old man quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, how can you bow to the grass people? Isn't this a traitor?"
Liu Xie said: "Old man, don't say that. You are my savior, and it is my duty to bow to you."
The old man said, "Your Majesty, you are so polite. Caomin is just an ordinary citizen. How can he bear your kneeling? "
The old man also said that, and he found Lin Yushui sneaky.
It happened that he saw Lin Yushui going out, but Lin Yushui did not find him. He felt that there was something wrong with it.
Liu Xie said: "Old man, I have another question to ask you. How did you know my identity?"
The old man said that when he rescued Liu Xie to the bed, the unconscious Liu Xie said nonsense and said something about the palace. The old man was shocked and judged that Liu Xie was the emperor.
"So there is such a thing."
Liu Xie immediately smiled bitterly, but this matter is good. If it weren't for his identity exposed, this old man wouldn't have saved him.
"Okay, Your Majesty, Liu Song is dead, you can go back to the palace."
Liu Xie said: "Old man, I won't go back to the palace."
The old man was surprised and said, "Your Majesty, what do you mean? If you don't go back to the palace, where are you going?"
Liu Xie said: "I am going to Youzhou."
The old man said, "Youzhou? Why do you want to go to Youzhou? I wonder if Caomin can ask."
Liu Xie said: "Because I'm going to find Xi Yu."
The old man nodded.
Liu Xie said: "He can protect me."
The old man said, "Your Majesty, do you think it's unsafe in the palace?"
Liu Xie nodded and said, "Yes. I feel that I am always threatened in the palace. I don't know who is my enemy and who is my friend. I can't trust anyone."
The old man said, "Master, are you too impulsive to do this?"
Liu Xie said: "I don't think so. I think this is my only way out. I want to leave that dangerous place."
The old man said, "Your Majesty, you can rest early. You will have to hurry up tomorrow."
Liu Xie said: "Okay, old man, you should also take a break early."
The old man nodded and turned around and left.
Liu Xie looked at the old man's departure back and felt a little moved.
He knew the old man was for his own good, but he also had his own ideas. He didn't want to go back to the palace where he felt depressed and feared.
But then he couldn't sleep anymore, for fear of having nightmares again.
I was also afraid that bad people would appear again.
Liu Song's body was still lying on the ground.
At this time, the old man suddenly came back.
"Your Majesty, you haven't gotten the body of this beast yet."
"Yes, I'm planning to call you over and get him out."
