953. The Prosperity of Eating the King, the Matter of Loyalty to the King
In the prison car, Du Yaoguang was tied to the torture rack. His face, which had always been soft and frail, was now full of fear due to pain.
The moment he found out what his daughter had done, Du Yuheng knew that Du Yaoguang might be doomed.
Xia Lihong is definitely not a kind person in the legend. After all, at that time, Xia Lishuang would spare Yaoguang's life because he did something wrong. Although Yaoguang's martial arts was abolished at that time, he still spared her life.
life.
But Xia Lihong was different. If he dared to betray him, he would only die.
Du Yuheng regretted it at this time, she really regretted it.
At that time... why didn't he take his son and daughter to live in seclusion after leaving Xuanyi Pavilion instead of coming here to die?
Du Yuheng gritted his teeth tightly, looked at Du Yaoguang on the torture rack, and smiled at the soldiers beside him.
"Master, please do me a favor! Can you let me say a few words to my daughter? Just a few words!"
However, the only answer she received was the guard's cold eyes, "His Royal Highness King Li has an order that no one is allowed to approach the prisoner! Otherwise, he will be regarded as an accomplice!"
Du Yuheng sat slumped on the ground. Next to her, Du Kaiyang supported her and kept trying to squeeze in.
"Bold! This guard is a close confidant of His Highness, why don't you let my sister go quickly!"
Further away, Du Tianshu just looked at the two people coldly. He looked at the woman on the gallows and gave an ugly smile, not wanting to give the other person another look.
A pair of black boots embroidered with black dragon patterns appeared in front of Du Tianshu. Du Tianshu lowered his head and said nothing.
Then I heard Xia Lihong say, "Xuanwu guards come in, the others...wait outside!"
Du Tianshu looked up blankly, and saw Du Yuheng and Du Kaiyang's eyes almost begging for help. Not far away, Du Yaoguang saw this, and even ignored him, shouting sternly, "Tianshu... Brother Tianshu, save Yaoguang!"
"
Du Tianshu did not speak, but followed Xia Lihong into the camp in silence.
"Did the princess ask you to do it?" Xia Lihong looked at the young man in front of him. These four people have been defecting to him. The first three people were favored by him for various reasons, but Du Tianshu has always been
He did not gain Xia Lihong's complete trust.
At this time, he just lowered his head and whispered, "It's just a matter of being loyal to the emperor by eating the emperor's salary!"
"What you eat is my salary. Tell me, who are you more loyal to?"
Du Tianshu's body was shaken, and his expression was unreal.
"Of course I am loyal to the prince!"
"Then Du Yaoguang, what do you say? I remember that you seemed to be childhood sweethearts who grew up together and had quite a friendship!" It seems that because he hugged Wen Ranran today, Xia Lihong seemed to be extra patient at the moment.
Du Tianshu curled his lips and just laughed in a low voice, "Your Highness... don't make fun of me! I was once blind and mistook fish eyes for pearls. Now all I want is His Highness's trust, isn't it?"
Xia Lihong was slightly stunned and looked at the other party.
"I didn't realize it before, but you are a smart person!"
Du Tianshu smiled bitterly and said nothing.
"What if I ask you to kill Du Yaoguang?" Xia Lihong's eyes suddenly became deep, deep and fierce.
Du Tianshu was kneeling with a respectful posture. When he heard this, he finally couldn't help but said, "Just like Queen Tao can't kill your majesty with one blow, the prince can't do anything to Miss Wen either... I can't do anything you don't want to do."
You can’t do it, can you?”
Xia Lihong was startled. His original intention was to test the other party, but he did not expect that Du Tianshu blocked his words with a heart-to-heart rhetoric.
"As I said before, His Highness needs Tianshu, and Tianshu will naturally accompany him to the end. But if Your Highness does not need Tianshu, Tianshu will have no choice but to die to prove his ambition." Du Tianshu said with a calm look in his eyes, neither humble nor arrogant.
Xia Lihong suddenly realized that Xia Lihong preferred to deal with such smart people compared to Du Yaoguang's scheming appearance.
"I didn't say I didn't trust you!" Xia Lihong narrowed his eyes.
