Quadruple split

"The time is just right."

In the tavern, a tall young man with long light blond hair slowly stood up from the corner and smiled at the uninvited guests: "Do you want anything to drink?"

Ruibo shook his head with a serious face, walked slowly to his biological brother, and said softly: "Father has never liked you hanging out in a place like this, but you opened a tavern in the old city."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not wear his usual ornate armor today. Instead, he wore a purple robe with gold patterns and a burgundy cloak with the Violet family crest on his shoulders. He looked graceful, luxurious and majestic. Full, coupled with his innate imperial temperament, even if he just stood there calmly, his presence was still enough to fill the entire tavern.

The person opposite him was completely at the other extreme. Although he was also a prince, Xubresian always seemed to be so slovenly. The white robe he put on casually did not help him reflect even the slightest temperament of a superior. , the education he received from the imperial family was in vain for him, and his playful smile made him look like a street singer, not a prince with a respected status.

"You know I've never been very obedient, brother Huang."

Xiu shrugged, not at all frightened by the people around him who had vaguely surrounded him. He just pointed to the wooden chair opposite him politely as usual, and asked Ruibao with a smile: "Sit down for a while." Son?"

The latter was silent for a few seconds, then sighed softly, sat down slowly, nodded and said, "Then sit down for a while."

"Sorry, brother, everyone here is absent from work today, so we have to do things like pouring water ourselves."

Xiu casually took out a cup that didn't look very clean, picked up the teapot and poured some light brown liquid into it. Once he smelled it, he couldn't help but push it down in front of Ruibo: "Do you mind?"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince frowned slightly and did not touch the suspicious-looking cup of tea in front of him. He just stared at his younger brother: "I thought you had many things to ask me."

"for example?"

Xiu blinked in confusion, then picked up the cup in front of him, took a big sip, wiped his mouth, and sighed: "You really don't know how to taste life. These tea leaves can last an ordinary person half a month's work." Nice stuff you can’t afford.”

"For example, why did I find this place? For example, why are your people absent from work for no reason."

Rui Bopi raised the corners of his mouth with a smile, and looked at the cup of tea in the other person's hand calmly: "By the way, the things we usually drink in the courtyard are at least something ordinary people can't afford after working for half a year, so I disagree with your 'taste' and 'life'."

Xiu laughed, spread his hands and said, "My people are often absent from work, and you know my taste. Brother, it has always been bad."

"Ash."

Ruibo suddenly raised his head and asked in a particularly leaping way: "Answer me, do you want to get involved in the throne and become the king of this empire?"

The latter immediately nodded without thinking and said with a smile: "Yes, that's what I thought."

"you"

Ruibo never expected that the other party would admit it so frankly. His brain, which had been under high load during this period, suddenly shut down for a few seconds.

"Why are you so surprised? Brother."

Xiu drank up the tea in his hand and leaned lazily on the hard chair. The free and easy smile was still hanging on the corner of his mouth, but there was no longer any smile in his eyes: "Isn't this the answer you were expecting?"

Ruibo, who had come back to his senses, took a deep breath, and his right hand under the table shook unnoticeably: "I don't understand what you are talking about."

"Haha, okay, okay, brother, you really don't have to be like this, there are no outsiders here anyway."

Xiu looked around at the murderous men, women, and children around him, shrugged and said: "The question you asked just now is just to let me show that you are indeed a scheming person. In this case, you have already made up your mind when you do that thing. It will be easier when you have to do something.”

"What are you talking about?"

Ruibo's expression changed, but he was interrupted before he could finish a complete sentence.

"Brother Huang should know very well what I'm talking about."

Xiu chuckled lightly and said calmly: "Although you have made up your mind about certain things, you still need a reason, a reason that can make you feel relatively at ease and have fewer nightmares in the days to come, and I I just told the truth and happily handed this reason into your hands. Of course, even if I deny it, you will definitely deny my denial in your heart. If this is the case, why do we have to go around so much? Where’s the circle?”

Ruibo's eyes gradually turned cold: "Do you know what I want to do?"

"I know."

Xiu nodded and asked seriously and affirmatively: "Besides killing me here, is there any other possibility?"

Ruibo nodded with a livid face, and then asked through gritted teeth: "Then you should also know, Ash, why I did this, right?"

"Definitely, to put it simply, my changes make you feel scared, and the results of the trial and my father's indulgence have made you feel a strong sense of crisis. You are afraid that the throne that is already within your reach will take flight. You Before you start to fear that your lofty ambitions will be stifled, you are afraid that your brother, who you have never seen clearly, will take away everything. You are so afraid that you can't control yourself and can't sleep at night. Am I right? My dear brother."

Xiu narrated lightly, and immediately continued after finishing what seemed like a question: "The situation got out of control so fast that you couldn't react at all, and the threat I showed in the final trial It makes you realize that you can't wait any longer, and just at this moment, an excellent opportunity appears, so no matter whether anyone is willing to cooperate or not, you have to do something, and it turns out that you are indeed a very good person. Decisive person.”

Ribo's face was so pale at this moment that it was almost transparent, but the reason was not because of fear or having his heart revealed, but because he realized that he had to make a decision as soon as possible.

Of course, he said it was a decision. In fact, from the moment he pushed open the door of [Female Bee], there was no other option except letting Xubresn die here.

"I don't hate you, Ash. Even though your character has always been bad, I still like you as my younger brother."

Ruibo sighed sadly and smiled helplessly: "Whether you believe it or not, I still don't have any hatred for you until now."

Xiu smiled, nodded and said, "Of course I believe it, brother, after all, whether you hate me or not and whether you want to kill me are two different things."

"Yes, they are two different things. I want to reverse the family's predicament, but this is the only thing I can't give in to, no matter who is standing in front of me."

Ruibo stood up abruptly and said in a deep voice: "Take out the hands you shrank in your sleeves. This tavern had been completely sealed in the barrier long before we came in. Your tavern can attack The finger that transmits information from the outside world has not sent out anything.”

"That's it~"

Xiu blinked, stretched out his left hand that had quietly retracted the cuff, and dropped a shiny wrench on the table: "Brother, you really have a plan."

"No need to delay any more time, Ash. I can chat with you all afternoon."

Ruibo looked at his brother with cold eyes, shook his head and said: "No one will come to save you, whether it is the Bauhinia Guards who were bribed by you, or the little dwarf who works in this tavern, they would have been there long ago. I was controlled when I rushed here. My dear brother, if you have any fatal flaw, it is that you are too confident."

Xiu rubbed his nose awkwardly and said with a smile: "I thought my greatest advantage was that I had self-awareness."

"Even if you say it sarcastically, it doesn't change the facts."

Ruibo looked at the other party unmoved, and said in a deep voice: "Did you know that from the day you could speak, when I was still a minor, I had already made a lot of arrangements and surrounded you. Through my eyes, including this [Female Bee], I know many things that my father still doesn’t know about. Of course, I admit that I haven’t paid much attention to you in recent years, otherwise there won’t be any on the Day of Judgment. It was a farce, but after that, I still quickly found out about you through countless channels that you couldn't even think of, and I was fully prepared."

"Well, it seems you are more insecure than I thought, brother."

Xiu still didn't show any panic, and just said calmly: "This is really admirable."

"Do you know how many people are on my side? Do you know how many informants there are around you?"

Ruibo walked around the table, walked quickly to Xiu, grabbed the latter's collar, lifted him up, and roared: "Do you know how much power I have managed by virtue of my status as the crown prince? Do you know that I want to change this?" How prepared have you been for this damn situation? Do you know how hard it has been for me to tolerate it all these years? Do you know how much I hope you are still the innocent kid who likes to tease people? "

"I know"

Xiu, who was having difficulty breathing, smiled with difficulty, then nodded and repeated twice: "I know, I know."

"No! You don't know! You don't know anything!"

Ruibo angrily let go of his hand, pushed Xiu back to the chair, gritted his teeth and said: "How can you know how much I really have."

"The people standing beside you include the Grand Duke Dantès, and the Redbud Guards from three brigades with a total of 306 people, as well as the Barton family, the Seth family, the Fortan family, the Mortensen family, and the Austin family in our violet collar. Thirty-nine established aristocratic forces, including the Boyd family and the Boyd family, in addition to his father’s deputy chief of the shadow guard, Mr. Ian, the commander of the imperial guard army and the three leaders of the autonomous army in the territory Two, the Violet Northern Merchant Alliance, headed by the Snow Diamond Chamber of Commerce, and of course, including the Marshall and Hussein families that were recently contacted by Grand Duke Dantès."

Xiu used his gentle voice to narrate calmly, using practical actions to show that he indeed 'knows' what Ruibo had just said. At the same time, the latter's face became increasingly ugly.

"As for the informants around me, if you do a simple calculation, they are probably all my cooks, the maids in the Three Color Courtyard, the two friends I made when I concealed my identity and went to the aristocratic area, my most trusted guard captain, [ Female Bee] The owners of the nearby shops, several of Correa’s friends, the three roommates in Xiao Na’s shared house, Master Miguel who has been secretly tutoring me in magic, and the other 107 people. The people I left out, oh yes, there are also the Redbud Guards and all the newly transferred faces who have been transferred to my team in the past three days since last week, and you later discovered that they were loyal to me."

After Xiu finished speaking in a leisurely manner, he refilled his cup of tea and continued without raising his head: "As for the power you have managed, the preparations you have accumulated, and the hard work you have put in, my dear brother, I naturally do the same." As we all know, it is not easy to tell the truth, and it is worthy of admiration."

"you"

Ruibo's eyes widened, he pulled out the long sword from the scabbard of the tall man behind him, and shouted sternly: "What on earth do you want to say!?"

"What I'm trying to say is that I see everything you do."

Xiu didn't even blink when the sword was pressed against the side of his neck. Instead, he picked up the tea in his hand and took a sip. He exhaled a particularly comfortable breath before shaking his head and sighing: "It's such a pity, dear imperial brother, if you It allows me to see a little bit of hope in the process of learning these things, and to see even a glimmer of a real pattern, so that we don't have to get to where we are today."

"What do you mean?"

Ruibo was forced to move the long sword to the side because just now when Xiu was shaking his head, he allowed the blade of the sword to cut through his skin, drawing a trace of blood from his neck.

"What I mean is that I am actually a very lazy and muddle-headed person, so if you can shoulder the responsibility, brother, I am really willing to let you sit on this throne."

Xiu crossed his legs and turned to Ruibo with a regretful expression: "It's a pity that you can't. You're too far behind."

An icy chill suddenly rose from the bottom of Ribo's heart. He immediately roared and decided not to continue to deal with his brother's demonic whispering words. He swung his long sword and struck at Xiu Dou's head fiercely——

Phew! !

The sharp sword entered the body and blood flew.

Xiu sighed tiredly, wiped a trace of blood from his cheek, shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, brother Huang, I have never hated you and my father. After all, it's not your fault that your abilities are limited."

Puff puff puff puff puff puff!

Ribo, who was stabbed through the heart by a sword from behind, was stabbed into his body by seven or eight sharp weapons from all directions. Those who did it were the people he brought with him.

if this is a dream

It must be the worst and most terrifying nightmare that I have ever experienced in my life.

If this isn't a dream

The Violet Empire may soon welcome the most unfathomable king in history.

Rebo shrugged and quietly stopped breathing.
