Chapter 396: Front Edge (65)
As soon as he left, the people who witnessed the whole process ran excitedly to report to Liu Jinsheng.
After hearing this, Liu Jinsheng felt very happy, and said proudly that it seemed that his search for his grandparents was not in vain. If he could really help his uncle get married, wouldn't that alienate the two of them?
Thinking of this, Liu Jinsheng became excited and thought this was a good idea. He went to the two elders more frequently and introduced some good girls and boys to them, saying that they were a good match for his uncle...
Which old man doesn't want to enjoy the company of his grandchildren? The two elders were brainwashed by Liu Jinsheng every day, and they couldn't help but have some thoughts.
They went to see Liu Qiuwu more and more often, and Liu Qiuwu kept making excuses. Finally, Master Liu couldn't bear it anymore and asked him directly if he really had feelings for Li Jingran.
When Liu Qiuwu was asked by the two elders in person, his heart almost jumped out. He silently said that it was not true, and told them not to believe the rumors outside, as they were not credible at all.
The two elders looked at each other, then looked at Liu Qiuwu together and asked him again, "Is it really not true?"
Liu Qiuwu nodded without hesitation and said no, saying that it had nothing to do with whether he could get married or not, he just hadn't met the one he liked.
Upon hearing this, Old Madam Liu laughed and said that if she didn't even go to meet him, how could she possibly meet him?
Mr. Liu also added a sentence, saying that this was the truth, and then started to match Liu Qiuwu up, saying this one was good and that one was good, and asked him if he wanted to go and meet them.
Liu Qiuwu wanted to say no, but the servant said Li Jingran was here.
It is true that arriving at the right time is worse than arriving early, so Liu Qiuwu swallowed the word "no" that was about to come out of his mouth and said "go".
As soon as he agreed, the two elders were overjoyed and said they would arrange it right away. Then they left in a hurry, as if they were afraid that he would change his mind.
When Li Jingran came in, he greeted them and said hello politely. The two elders responded to him with a smile, but they didn't say any extra words and left happily.
When Li Jingran walked inside, he smiled and said that the two elders were almost smiling like chrysanthemums, and asked Liu Qiuwu what good things had happened to them that made them so happy.
Liu Qiuwu pursed his lips and said it was nothing, then asked him what he came to see him for, and told him to just go ahead and ask for whatever he wanted, as he was busy.
Li Jingran nodded, looked at him a few times, said he would not disturb him, and sat down beside him.
But after sitting down, his eyes never left Liu Qiuwu.
Liu Qiuwu felt very uncomfortable, and he added more strength to the fingers that were holding the account book. When would this drama of feuding end?
Compared to the exhausted Liu Qiuwu, Li Jingran, who was enjoying it, had no pressure at all. Although he was occasionally hurt by those words, it didn't matter because he had a thick skin.
If you want to pick a thorny flower, what does it matter if you get pricked a few times? If you don't make good use of such a good opportunity, you will be really sorry for yourself!
"Don't stare at me like that. It's disturbing me. If you have nothing to do, please leave first." Liu Qiuwu could no longer bear it and said with a stern face.
Li Jingran grinned, "How did Qiu Wu know I was looking at you? Is it possible that we have a telepathic connection? I knew you..."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Liu Qiuwu glared, "Didn't you just ask my parents what they were happy about? Then I tell you, they told me about getting married, and I agreed."
Li Jingran's smile froze instantly, and then was covered with coldness. His dark eyes stared at him, "What did you say?"
Liu Qiuwu had a blank expression on his face. "No matter how many times I say it, it's the same. I'm getting married soon. Even if it doesn't work out this time, I will get married in the future."
"You! So heartless." Li Jingran stood up and strode over to him.
Liu Qiuwu raised his face unwillingly, "I can't help you if you want to think this way, Li Jingran, stop it."
Li Jingran suddenly bent down, put one hand on the table, lowered his head close to his face and said, "You can't stop it, Qiu Wu, why can't you change the words? 'As I wish' is so good."
Liu Qiuwu glanced at the other person's thin lips, fearing that this person was adding drama to his story, and his upper body could not help but slightly retreat, "Impossible, give up."
Li Jingran's face darkened and his eyes suddenly became sinister, "I won't give you up to anyone else, Qiu Wu." Then he withdrew his hand and stood up straight.
"You are forcing me! Do you really want us to never have any contact with each other again?" Liu Qiuwu's voice rose, and anger flashed in his cold eyes.
"Then let's wait and see if you can get rid of me." Li Jingran forced a weird smile.
Liu Qiuwu felt a little uneasy, but he still said coldly: "Get out!"
"Ha~" Li Jingran laughed and rolled away quickly.
Afterwards, Liu Qiuwu actually met several young ladies and men, but all of them were ruined by Li Jingran.
Liu Qiuwu was so angry that he pointed at Li Jingran's nose and cursed him. The "crack" in their relationship became bigger and bigger.
In addition to this, those who wanted to seize power from him were becoming more and more active, and Liu Qiuwu deliberately let slip some information to create the illusion that he was no match for them.
The play reached its climax at the moment the couple was chosen.
Li Jingran actually kidnapped Liu Qiuwu, locked him in his room, and put shackles on his ankles, making it impossible for him to go anywhere...
"Li Jingran! I think you are crazy! Let me go!" Liu Qiuwu was furious.
"Don't be afraid, Qiu Wu. I won't hurt you." Li Jingran looked at him infatuatedly, and then put the food on the small wooden table. "Are you hungry? Eat something. These are all your favorite foods."
"I won't eat! Stop messing around, I have to go back, there are still many things waiting for me to deal with at home."
Liu Qiuwu's words seemed to have touched Li Jingran's sore spot. His gentle expression disappeared and he became almost crazy.
"Things? What things? About getting married? I'm telling you, stop dreaming, I won't let you marry her!"
"It's not up to you..."
Ping-bang-clang. On the first day, Liu Qiuwu smashed everything in Li Jingran's room that he could, some even at him.
The next day, after Liu Qiuwu was forcibly kissed, the two started fighting, but they were restrained by shackles.
On the third and fourth days, the two were still fighting fiercely. On the fifth day, Li Jingran actually got a pair of handcuffs and sat on Liu Qiuwu...
"........."
Ling Chuan never thought that he would see such exciting things one day. Although it was just a little too much, the ambiguous scene really made him...well, let's not think about it anymore.
Finally, as planned, Liu Qiuwu, who had been imprisoned for eight days, was rescued.
After he was rescued, the first thing he did was to rush over and stab Li Jingran with a sword, then cut off his ties with him and said that they were completely done with each other from then on.
Anyone can see what's going on by the ambiguous marks on his neck, but no one dares to say it.
When Liu Qiuwu returned to the Liu family, the scene of him being abandoned by the King of Xian would unfold as planned...
In the end, Liu Qiuwu, who "abandoned darkness and joined light", successfully defected to the eldest prince, and this incident made Li Jingran a laughing stock in the entire capital.
After all, everyone in the capital knew that he was a homosexual, and he had a special liking for Liu Qiuwu. He had been following him around for more than ten years and even left the family tree for him. But in the end, that man turned around and sided with the eldest prince. Is there anything more heartbreaking than this?
It's really sad.
Minister Li actually knew some truth that outsiders did not know. He felt that he had lost all face, let alone recognizing the person.
Li Jingran himself didn't care that he had a hole in his body. He was drunk all day long and lived a life of drunkenness. Even when Liu Jinsheng came to ridicule him, he acted as if he didn't hear it.
Liu Jinsheng felt like he had punched cotton. He said all kinds of bad things but got no response. In the end, he left in frustration.
Li Jingran continued to drink, and when he was drunk he lay on the table and muttered, either asking why or calling Qiu Wu.
The one who paid the money was the boss, and the restaurant owner just glanced at him and let him do as he pleased. As long as he didn't cause any trouble, everything would be fine.
On the other hand, Liu Qiuwu's marriage did not take place, but it was not easy for him to infiltrate the enemy. No matter whether it was the eldest prince, the enemy's spies, or Prince Qiao and his son, they all had great suspicion of him and were on guard against him everywhere to avoid any fraud.
Liu Qiuwu also knew that this was a very difficult point to break through. If he wanted these people to let down their guard against him, he had to let them see his sincerity.
So when they tried to find out what he knew from the King of Xian, he showed his loyalty by directly revealing some information that was somewhat useful to them after screening, with an angry look of "Since the King of Xian has been unfair to me, then don't blame me for being ruthless". After all, he didn't have much contact with the King of Xian, so this level was just right.
With Liu Qiuwu's unremitting efforts, he finally went deeper step by step and slowly came into contact with the business lines controlled by the Jin family.
At first it was just a normal business transaction, but gradually Liu Qiuwu keenly discovered that the person doing the business had been replaced!
This change is not a change before leaving, but the person who goes out and the person who comes back are completely different!
Those men who were escorting the goods back were all strong and powerful, with sharp eyes and light and steady steps, and even a hint of murderous aura. How could this be expected of an ordinary person?
Whenever Liu Qiuwu thought that these people were most likely soldiers who had infiltrated the country from Cangwu State, he became terrified. He couldn't even imagine what the scene would be like when the capital was filled with enemy soldiers without knowing anything.
The Cangwu Kingdom wants to attack Huanglong directly!
Having uncovered a major secret, Liu Qiuwu forced himself to remain calm. It didn't matter if he died, but this news had to be passed on to King Xian!
Therefore, Liu Qiuwu took every step forward with extreme caution. One wrong step would lead to eternal damnation.
After the news leaked out, Liu Qiuwu noticed something else, that is, some of the goods they brought back were ground medicinal powders, which were all stored in a secret room.
The more shameful something is, the less likely it is to be a good thing. Liu Qiuwu decided to take a risk and get some out.
As a result, the powder was sent out, but the other person was exposed.
In the damp and dim cell, Liu Qiuwu was tied to a cross, his head drooping limply and his body covered with scars.
With a clang, the door of the cell was opened by the guards, and Jin Xuhua walked in with the eldest prince and others.
"Dead?" Seeing that he had no reaction, the eldest prince turned his head and said viciously.
Jin Xuhua said, "He's not dead." He turned around and asked someone to pour water on him to wake him up.
"Um, cough, cough..." Liu Qiuwu coughed weakly. Every time he moved, the wounds on his body were pulled, and his pale face wrinkled in pain.
"Liu Qiuwu, you are really capable. You actually dare to play me around." The eldest prince stepped forward, grabbed Liu Qiuwu's jaw, and said to him with gritted teeth.
Liu Qiuwu half-closed his eyes, only pried up his eyelids to glance at him coldly, then dropped his eyes again.
Seeing him like this, the eldest prince exerted force on his hands and asked him: "Tell me! Did you send the things to Prince Xian?"
Liu Qiuwu remained silent.
"What a tough nut to crack." The eldest prince let go of his hand in disgust, and the attendant immediately offered him a handkerchief to wipe his hands.
"Even if you don't say it, I know it's him. Haha, my little uncle is really good at winning people's hearts. Even at this point, he still makes you devoted to him."
Liu Qiuwu remained silent.
A cold light flashed in Jin Xuhua's eyes.
"My Lord, since he doesn't want to speak, why not pull out his tongue and make him stop talking forever? After all, there is no use keeping his tongue."
Qiao Wenjin looked over with a gloating look, and said with a curled lip, "I thought Advisor Jin would want to kill him to vent his anger."
Jin Xuhua raised his eyes slightly, "Kill him? That's too easy for him. Since he is so protective of his master, why not let him watch how the eldest prince schemes to gain control of the world? And how he tramples on the person he wholeheartedly supports?"
The eldest prince's anger suddenly subsided, "Then let him live for now."
"Ah……"
Liu Qiuwu smiled foolishly.
"Laughing? What are you laughing at? What's so funny?" The eldest prince turned his head and narrowed his eyes dangerously.
"Hehe... I laugh at your stupidity... If you try to get the skin of a tiger, you will end up being eaten by it!" Liu Qiuwu said intermittently.
The eldest prince glared, "How dare you sow discord between me and Advisor Jin? Do you really think I won't kill you?"
Liu Qiuwu sneered, "You can kill me or chop me up, it's all up to you. You... won't get what you want."
"Want to die? I won't let you do that. Come! Pull out his tongue..."
Liu Qiuwu was captured and his life or death was uncertain. Li Jingran was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He tried to rescue him several times but was stopped by Xian Wang Fufu every time.
Not to mention anything else, the simplest problem is that he doesn't even know where the person is being held.
"You can't go. If you go, you will die in vain. I believe that if Mr. Liu were here, he would not like your reckless behavior." Qiao Ruicheng said seriously.
"Yes, Mr. Li, you can't be impulsive." Yu Shuche also advised him.
In this brutal struggle, they have long been accustomed to life and death, and they are helpless. Perhaps one day they will be in the same situation too, but at least let them stop this catastrophe against the Abyss.
Don't you want to rescue him?
impossible.
Li Jingran's eyes were bloodshot, his masseter muscles were tense, and his hands were clenched into fists.
"Even so, I will go, my lord and princess. The information and things have been delivered, and I can't use the others. One more or one less won't make a difference... Don't worry, Dayuan will always be ahead of us."
So even if he was caught and threatened, he would not betray Dayuan.
Everyone is destined to die, but Qiu Wu is everything to him. Even if he dies, he will bring him back to his side.
"Why do you have to do this?" Qiao Ruicheng's brows were twisted into a knot.
"He didn't reject me. I almost caught him, but unfortunately... I can't let him go. I hope the prince and princess will agree and stop persuading me." Li Jingran said firmly.
Hearing this, Qiao Ruicheng and Yu Shuche sighed again, realizing that they couldn't stop it.
