The waste prince is so fierce
Chapter 169: Liu Xun is desperate
Afterwards, Li Quan called Chen Shan and said, "Chen Shan, pass the order down. I will hold a banquet in the palace tonight to celebrate. I want everyone to know today that Liu Xun has messed up my business."
Chen Shan bowed and accepted the order, then went downstairs to make arrangements.
Chen Shan left.
Li Quan stood alone in front of the window, looking at the distant sky with a faint smile on his lips.
Li Zhi was still a little immature after all. He dared to compete with him, which was simply ignorant of the world.
Someone like Liu Xun still wants to take human lives lightly?
dream!
How stupid.
……
When Liu Xun woke up, it was already daybreak.
My body aches, especially my waist, which is excruciatingly painful.
Liu Xun struggled to get up and looked around.
Suddenly I saw three young men sitting not far away.
I don't know any of these three people.
Among these three people, one was Li Quan's confidant and a school guard under Zhang Hu.
The other two young men, one was Zhang Liang and the other was Zhang Heng, both were Li Quan's confidants.
Zhang Liang and Zhang Heng, seeing Liu Xun wake up, hurried over.
"woke up?"
Liu Xun glanced at the two of them, then looked away and continued to look around, "Where am I?"
Zhang Liang grinned, revealing his white teeth, "Master Liu, you are being held in a cell."
"Why? Why did you arrest me?"
Liu Xun shouted excitedly.
Zhang Liang chuckled and said, "Master Liu, what you did yesterday was really stupid."
Liu Xun's eyes widened. "What did I do?"
"It seems that you don't care at all about what His Highness asked you to do!"
Zhang Heng sneered.
"No, what did I do?"
"Haha, what did you do? You lost all the goods that His Highness entrusted to you."
Liu Xun's face was completely drained of color. "Impossible, absolutely impossible. I didn't send anyone to kill anyone, and I don't know who would kill to silence them. You must be mistaken."
Zhang Liang said with a smile: "Master Liu, you said we were wrong. Do you know why the two of us brothers stayed by your side?"
Liu Xun shook his head, expressing his confusion.
Zhang Liang pointed at his two brothers and said, "Because we want to prevent you from escaping."
Liu Xun was stunned for a moment, then retorted: "You are lying. You are afraid that His Highness will punish you, so you deliberately made up a lie."
Zhang Liang frowned slightly, obviously very dissatisfied with Liu Xun's words.
"You are such a stubborn fellow. His Highness asked us to keep an eye on you and monitor your every move. But what happened? We didn't find anything unusual. Since you don't admit that you killed someone, we will help you recall the past."
Zhang Liang slowly took out a scroll from his pocket and muttered, "Within half a month, I must get food and weapons. Otherwise..."
"What else?" Liu Xun asked.
Zhang Liang said, "Otherwise, Sir Liu, you can die. But don't worry, we brothers will definitely help you take care of your wife, children and parents. Sir Liu, just relax and wait for happiness."
"Pooh!"
Liu Xun spat fiercely and cursed: "My wife, children and parents don't need you to take care of them. You'd better not touch my wife, children and parents, otherwise I will die with you even if I have to."
"Wow! You're pretty tough!"
Zhang Heng sneered, "Liu Xun, you don't think you can threaten us with just yourself? How naive."
Liu Xun snorted and turned his head to look aside.
Zhang Heng added, "Liu Xun, you don't have to go to great lengths to seek help. Your wife, children, and parents have long been moved away. They are now hiding in some corner. Wait until the storm is over before you come out again. Of course, Lord Liu can also go find his wife, children, and parents himself.
But first, you have to be able to get out of here.”
"Shut up!"
Liu Xun roared.
Zhang Liang chuckled, "It's no use for us to keep silent. This is a desolate place with no people. No one will hear you even if you shout at the top of your lungs. Liu Xun, I advise you to cooperate obediently to avoid suffering."
Liu Xun clenched his teeth.
Zhang Heng clapped his hands, and three strong men walked in from outside.
Liu Xun looked alert.
"Liu Xun, I know you want revenge, but unfortunately you are just a scholar and have no backing."
Liu Xun angrily said, "Mr. Zhang, please don't go too far."
Zhang Heng sneered, "What's wrong with bullying you? Liu Xun, you are a smart man. If you choose to cooperate with us now, maybe you can still survive. Otherwise, you will die miserably."
Liu Xun was silent for a moment, then asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"
Zhang Heng said, "It's very simple. As long as you agree to our conditions, we promise to release your family."
"What about the conditions?"
Liu Xun asked.
Zhang Heng said, "Master Liu, let's be frank. You are a scholar, both civil and military. It's a pity that you haven't met a wise master. If you are willing to join the right person, perhaps you can leave here early."
Liu Xun looked hesitant.
He is just a scholar and is not good at strategy.
The only things he is good at are reading and writing.
Now if he were to talk to these people who are on the edge of the underworld, he would never be able to win.
After all, he is not a desperado.
Liu Xun sighed, "Forget it, I am willing to surrender. I am willing to join your Highness's camp. Tell me what your Highness wants, and I will try my best to do it."
"Hahaha... Lord Liu is straightforward."
Zhang Heng laughed out loud. He liked dealing with straightforward people.
Zhang Liang coughed and said, "Lord Liu, since you want to join His Highness's camp, then you should also know what our Highness wants."
Liu Xun hesitated and said, "I heard that Your Highness intends to gather the power of the aristocratic families. Do you want to take this opportunity to subdue them?"
"Not only that." Zhang Liang said slowly: "Our goal is the entire Donglai County. Master Liu, do you think it's possible?"
"How can this be?"
Liu Xun exclaimed: "If nothing else, the Cui family that is now calling the shots in the court is from Donglai County."
His voice was trembling, and he was obviously frightened.
Zhang Liang said, "We also hope this is impossible. Unfortunately, this is an ironclad fact. Lord Liu, you should be aware of our prince's methods. If the prince is determined to deal with someone, even if that person has a powerful background, he will not be able to escape death. So, Lord Liu, you'd better cooperate with us and try to leave as soon as possible."
Liu Xun remained silent.
Zhang Liang smiled and said, "Liu Daren, although His Highness is young, he is prudent. What he asked you to do is definitely not a small matter. I advise you to make preparations early."
"What preparations?" Liu Xun asked anxiously.
Zhang Liang glanced at him and said calmly, "It is inconvenient to disclose the specific preparations. Anyway, Lord Liu, just rest assured that His Highness will definitely let you live a good life. At least it will be better than you surrendering to Prince Jing, isn't it?"
