An assassin? Call me the Master of Raising Prices!

Because there were only two people in the room and they were sitting very close to each other, Zhao Jiu's voice was not loud, or even very small. But at such a small distance, Liu Zhiyuan can still hear clearly.

What was unexpected was that Liu Zhiyuan's expression changed very little, with almost no disturbance.

He took a leisurely sip of tea and praised: "Oh, Brother Zhao has really good eyesight and observes everything meticulously. I admire you, I admire you."

"Do you admit it?" Zhao asked with a frown.

Liu Zhiyuan smiled and asked, "What do I recognize?"

Tough talk! Zhao also laughed and took time to look at Liu Zhiyuan's sesame-sized eyes, shook his head and cursed.

Liu Zhiyuan met Zhao Jiu's eyes, his mouth corners, eyebrows and eyes were curved, his nose did not move at all, his cheeks trembled, and he smiled brightly.

This smiling face, not to mention from a distance, even from this distance, you can't tell it is fake at all, it is extremely natural and calm.

"Old Liu, you are no longer interesting."

"Brother Zhao, if you don't explain clearly, how will I know what it means?" Liu Zhiyuan replied softly.

Hearing this, the smile on Zhao's face disappeared completely, and the joking in his eyes when he looked at Liu Zhiyuan disappeared, replaced by seriousness.

Since you don't like beating around the bush, just get straight to the point. Zhao crossed his legs, leaned his back against the back of the chair, reached out to hold Liu Zhiyuan's tea cup, and asked: "You should know that you will encounter an assassination, and you also know who is behind it, right?"

Hold the teacup, meaning it must be said.

Liu Zhiyuan could understand, but he still put his hand under the teacup, slowly held it, and replied quietly: "Of course I know that I will encounter assassination. I have encountered assassination countless times over the years! But this I really don’t know who wants my life.”

Zhao couldn't tell whether the words were true or false, so he had to stare into his eyes in order to tell whether they were true or false.

"I've said it before, brother Zhao, there's no need to keep pressing the tea cup, right? If it breaks, it will be... bad." Liu Zhiyuan patted Zhao's hand that was pressing on the tea cup and said with a smile.

Zhao let go of his hand angrily, and sighed: "What's the difference between what you said and what you didn't say? I'm only responsible for your journey, and whether you live or die at other times has nothing to do with me."

"Don't worry."

Liu Zhiyuan picked up the tea cup, scraped off the floating tea powder, and comforted him softly.

Scrape the tea powder aside, blow it gently, and then slowly take a small sip. With the hot tea in his stomach, his brows stretched, he tsked "It's okay" twice, turned around and said with a smile: "Although I can't tell you exactly who wants me to die, I can tell you that it's definitely not the emperor and Annan. "

"As for whether Hexi will be involved..."

Liu Zhiyuan frowned, shook his head and said, "I'm not sure."

In Zhao's own analysis, the emperor was also the first option to be eliminated, but "it must not be Annan", he couldn't figure it out and couldn't guarantee it.

After hesitating for a moment, he asked in a deep voice: "Why can't it be Annan? Are you friends?"

"It's a bit." Liu Zhiyuan smiled happily.

Pointing at his face, he joked: "When I was a general, I met Old Shen Wugui's little daughter by chance. It was love at first sight, so we worked hard and came to propose marriage the next day."

"Brother Zhao, please don't forget me. I'm fat now. When I was young, I was a well-known handsome young man from all over the country! It's a pity that at that time, I was a young official, and my father and mother died again. It's not right for me to be in the wrong family. Shen The old turtle didn't agree to the marriage."

Zhao raised his hand to interrupt and asked, "Just because this is not a friendship? Are you sure it's not Annan? I think you are crazy!"

"Hahahaha..." Liu Zhiyuan laughed and shook his hands.

Said: "Of course not, this is nothing but a friendship! I dare to draw a conclusion because I understand this old turtle Shen Yuanlin!"

"He claims to be a smart man, but in reality he just can't afford it. My death will be of no benefit to him, and he's not very courageous and doesn't dare to gamble! He never does anything he's not sure about!"

"As for me, he can't be sure, see through, or guess, so it's definitely not him!"

Although these words were impassioned, it was a pity that Zhao never believed in the so-called character. Dogs will jump over walls when they are anxious, let alone humans. As long as the knife is placed on the neck, the mute can sing two songs!

He turned his head, stared at the wall with squinted eyes, and joked in a joking tone: "What a fucking nonsense! It's not the emperor, it's not Annan, Hexi is not sure, could it be someone from Shu who wants to kill you? Hahaha..."

Unexpectedly, Liu Zhiyuan, who was sitting next to him, made a move with his hands, looked at him in surprise with wide eyes, and said one word with certainty: "Yes!"

"Hehehe, let me just say, definitely not..." Zhao waved his hand and teased.

But suddenly I remembered that what Liu Zhiyuan said seemed to be "right"! Thinking of this, he turned his head instantly, "What did you just say?"

"I just said: yes!" Liu Zhiyuan tilted his head slightly and said seriously.

"You are not from Shu..."

Liu Zhiyuan interrupted: "Yes, I am a general in Shu, and my ancestral home is even in Shu. However, the top and bottom are not necessarily all of the same mind. Young people want to get the upper hand, but old people are unwilling to leave. My own enemies have not been cleaned up. "

"This is the consequence."

Zhao frowned, his eyes dim, and said tentatively: "Young people probably don't want to kill you, because you are too far away from them, so there is no need. Then you are an old man. What will your enemies say? It's not that you sold your wife, children, and children." Is it clean?”

After listening to this, Liu Zhiyuan shook his head and said disdainfully: "Those people are just small fish, they can't make much waves! I'm talking about the old friends and younger generations of those enemies, they can't be killed completely!"

This is much more reasonable. No one can guarantee that there will be people who have received favors and want to repay them on a whim.

Zhao raised his eyebrows and signaled him to continue.

Seeing this, Liu Zhiyuan didn't mind and explained: "You know, a general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of bones. I can become a first-rank general, and there must be a lot of bones under my body. These people are inevitably in the Shu army, staring at me covetously! This time I go to Beijing for a great opportunity, they should not miss it!"

"Since you can figure it out, why don't you bring more people? I think the emperor can understand, right?" Zhao asked.

Liu Zhiyuan said with a smile: "How can you fish without bait? You have to use big bait to catch big fish! Besides, how do you know that there is no trace of the emperor in it?"

"What do you mean? Does the emperor want to?"

After shaking his head with a smile, he continued: "Of course the emperor doesn't want to kill me! But, the Liu surnamed in Hexi has been making small moves. Shu is very important!"

Zhao raised his eyes and looked directly into his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Do you mean that the emperor also wants to catch them all in one fell swoop to eliminate future troubles?"

"The emperor's heart is hard to understand." Liu Zhiyuan picked up the teacup, seemed to sigh, and seemed to be vague.

"What does the emperor mean? You have to ask the emperor. I dare not guess the emperor's intention..."
