Whenever the Shangguan Yaohua saw him, he would be fuming with anger. Now that he saw Jiang Yi's pretentious act, he was even angrier. "Hmph! A cat shedding crocodile tears for a mouse! Who needs you to care about me? "
Jiang Liechen said, "A cat shedding crocodile tears for a mouse? Fine! Let's follow this order. Don't regret it. "
The Shangguan Yaohua was so angry that he almost fainted. However, he felt that in Jiang Yi's eyes, he was no more than a gray-skinned mouse that was being toyed with. He couldn't help but be angry. "What do you want?" he asked in a low voice. "The more miserable I am, the happier you are, isn't that right?"
Jiang Liechen smiled faintly. "Let me tell you. Ever since I started my career, I have roamed the Jianghu for many years. I have only killed people and never saved people. It is not easy for the young prince to make me break my rules five times in a row. Just this alone is enough to make you famous in the world. Don't you think that we are fated? "
The Shangguan Yaohua said angrily, "Go to hell. Who would be fated with a devil like you? That is the sin of a previous life, the misfortune of eighteen lifetimes! You keep on pestering me. What do you want from me? "
Jiang Liechen said, "I have already made my conditions very clear to you. What do you think in this morning's time? "
The Shangguan Yaohua was very good at reading people's expressions. When he heard Jiang Liechen's words, it seemed that he was certain that he would submit to his tyrannical coercion. The hot-blooded side of him revealed itself. "I have not considered it at all! I advise you to stop dreaming. Even if you give me a hundred years, my answer will still be the same! I will never cooperate with a devil like you! I will say it one last time. Listen carefully and remember it well! "
Jiang Liechen said, "There is nothing in this world that can be called 'absolute'. You may not agree now, but what if your foster father understands the situation better than you and agrees to cooperate first? When that time comes, will you still follow him? "
The Shangguan Yaohua said, "What a joke! My adoptive father is a pillar of the Qing Dynasty! How could a loyal and upright person associate with you? "
Jiang Liechen said, "Even if his nature is upright, sometimes when he is forced by circumstances, he will still do things that are not in line with his wishes. One had to adapt to the situation, not let the situation adapt to him. For example, if one's life was about to be lost, how could one have the time to talk about ridiculous dignity? The corpses that were sent to the Prince's Mansion not long ago … were wearing dragon robes and had died horribly. This time, he could destroy the corpses and clean up all traces. But what about the next time? I don't think I'll be so lucky again, right? If I want someone to die, I don't have to worry about not having enough methods or not being clever enough. It was impossible for a living person to disappear into thin air. There would always be traces left behind. As long as the Emperor knew about this, he could easily teach him a lesson. Prince Fu can't stand the continuous twists and turns, so his only choice is to listen to my orders. "
Shangguan Yaohua's expression changed. "Those corpses … You were trying to frame us! You want to force us into a dead end and force us to cooperate with you! Why? What do you see in our Prince's Mansion? Based on your influence, you shouldn't lack collaborators, right? "
Jiang Liechen said, "Smart! I am indebted to you for your kindness, so I will tell you the truth. In my eyes, that Prince Fu is worthless. He is nothing more than an old dog baring his teeth behind people's backs. When he sees people, he will immediately shake his head and wag his tail. He is not worthy of cooperating with me. The one I see in you is you. Actually, you should feel honored. I have always been picky. To be able to catch the eye of the Seven Evil Spirits, you should go home and burn incense to celebrate. "
Shangguan Yaohua snorted coldly. "You think I will believe your nonsense? I am nothing more than a pawn without any military power. I can't protect myself at all times. What value do I have to you? "Jiang Liechen said," If I want to use you, I will give you everything you need. If you have any requests, feel free to state them. "
Shangguan Yaohua rolled his eyes and said, "Your flowery words are indeed tempting, but unfortunately, you can't bewitch me." He pointed at the corpses and said, "You tell me, what is the meaning of this? Why did you first put me to death and then pretend to save me? "
Jiang Liechen said, "Good question." He slowly approached him. Shangguan Yaohua immediately took a big step back and shouted, "Scram! Don't get too close to me. I feel disgusted!"
Jiang Liechen sneered and said softly, "I arranged for people to kill you and then help you out. This is just to let you understand that you are my chess piece. I can make you, but I can also destroy you at the same time. My patience is limited. If I do not use you as I wish, you will only end up dead. "
Shangguan Yaohua bit his lower lip and then suddenly burst out laughing. "Seven Malevolent Demon," he said, "You really have a flaw in your plan? Just to show off in front of me, you made a move to eliminate this group of people who are very likely to harm me. Now look at it, 'dead men tell no tales'! Next time, no matter how you try to trick me, even if a flower grows out of cow dung, I will not let it slip again. If I fall down the same road once, I will not fall down the same road a second time! "
"Oh?" Jiang Liechen said. "Let's see who is the one who has a flaw in his plan? Why should I wait until the next time? Just now there were people lying in ambush all around, and you did not know anything about it. The people who died were only those who came to steal the credit. If there were people who heard it but did not come out to surround you, but immediately reported it to their master, what could you do? If it is Prince Fu himself who is listening from behind the tree, what can you do? "
Shangguan Yaohua turned pale with fright. The image of Prince Fu standing on the side with a layer of ice on his face appeared in his mind. He was so scared that he shivered. Coincidentally, there was a row of trees and fake mountains on the side, which made for excellent hiding places. He did not have time to bicker with Jiang Liechen, and immediately rushed over to check. He touched every inch of the tree bark, raised his head and stared at the tree trunk, and then stomped on the ground, looking as if he wished he could dig three feet into the ground.
Jiang Liechen looked at his soulless appearance and only treated it as a joke. After admiring him enough, he said, "Don't look anymore, he was just messing with you." Shangguan Yaohua did not dare to lower his guard. His words were half true and half false, how could he believe them completely? Besides, after being fooled by him several times, he gradually gained some experience: if he believed everything he said, in the end he would only be unlucky. He searched through all the places where people could be hidden before he finally felt at ease. His tone became a little more confident as he said proudly, "Why did you trick me? Was it very fun? "
Jiang Liechen said, "It was very fun, especially seeing you fly into a rage just because I said a few words to you; it was very fun. You don't mind me making fun of you, do you? "
Shangguan Yaohua angrily said, "Shut up! I am not your plaything! Don't be so savage! I have decided, I am going to find Yifu and tell him my identity. I want to see how he will deal with me. In his eyes, I am a talented person, and I have value. Even if I told a few lies, he won't dare to do anything to me. In short, I won't be threatened by you anymore! "
"That's right," Jiang Liechen said, "Your Yifu was once proud of you. But what he valued most was his own personal interest, including roping in Xuan Shuang, but it was only to expand his military strength and consolidate his political power. That was because he really had no one he could use. If I personally went to his door and expressed my willingness to cooperate with him, he would do everything he could to curry favor with me. At that time, your value to him would be zero. I don't think I need to tell you how a useless chess piece will be treated, do I? "
Shangguan Yaohua's anger soared to the sky. "Fine," he said, "I consider you have guts. Go ahead and plot against me! If I die, I don't know what you will gain from it. "Finished speaking, he turned around and walked away, still unwilling to admit defeat.
Jiang Liechen could not do anything to him; he handed the treasured sword over to him and said, "Your sword, take it back."
This was the treasured sword that Shangguan Yaohua received from Prince Fu when he first recognized him as his Yifu. It could cut iron like mud, its sharpness was unstoppable. He had always cherished it, but now that it had fallen into Jiang Liechen's hands, no matter how good it was, it had lost its value. Forcing himself to turn his head away, without showing the least bit of emotion, he coldly said, "I don't want it anymore!"
Jiang Liechen said, "You really don't want it? Don't regret it? "
Shangguan Yaohua said, "What's there to regret? I, Shangguan Yaohua, don't care about the things that have been tainted by you … "Before he could finish his impassioned speech, he suddenly heard a 'pa' sound. Then, he saw the two halves of the sword fall to the ground, deeply embedded into the ground. The two halves of the sword were still slightly swaying above the ground. Shangguan Yaohua was furious. "You … you …" he said, his fingers trembling. He stammered the word 'you' for half a day, but in the end he was unable to say another word. He was willing to give up this treasured sword, but seeing it being destroyed by someone else, his heart was in severe pain.
Jiang Liechen said, "What's wrong? Didn't you say you don't want it? Now you can't bear to part with it? Let me make you understand that there are many things in this world that once you have made a decision, there is no room for regret. "
Shangguan Yaohua was so angry that he could not breathe properly. After half a day, he slowly squatted down and pulled out the two halves of the sword. He pieced the two halves back together, and they were still as new as before. But if he did not use more strength to support it, a shallow crack would still be visible. He had never been an emotional person, and he was not crazy about swords. But living in the Prince's mansion for a long time was depressing, and the only thing he could do to comfort himself was to accompany this treasured sword. He did not know why, but he felt a lump in his throat. He no longer had the boldness he had when he was willing to give up the sword. Tears were about to fall from his eyes.
Jiang Liechen laughed and said, "This sword is not that rare. It's fine if you don't want it. Another day I'll find a good treasured sword for you. "
Shangguan Yaohua was about to blurt out his refusal, but on second thought, he decided to tease him. He raised his head high and said, "Alright! But this Prince's eyes have always been picky. If I want something, I either don't want it, or I want the best. Worldly treasured swords do not enter my eyes. I want the Seven Fiends treasure, the Afterimage Sword! Are you willing to give it to me? "As he said this, he raised his chin even higher, as if he was provoking him, waiting to hear his answer.
Although it was likely that Jiang Liechen would refuse, it would be a good opportunity to ridicule him for going back on his words and spouting nonsense to vent his anger. If Jiang Liechen's brain suddenly stopped working, it would not be a bad thing for him to take advantage of him. Even if he had not seen the might of the Afterimage Sword with his own eyes, he was already familiar with it.
The Afterimage Sword had been the Sacrifice Shadow Sect's most treasured sword for many years. After Jiang Liechen proclaimed himself one of the Seven Evil Spirits, it became his personal sword. He did not expect that Shangguan Yaohua would actually dare to make such a request. Even if he was mentally prepared and was confident in accepting any whimsical request, he still could not help but be stunned. He said, "Are you threatening me? This Prince has roamed the Jianghu for so long and has only ever threatened others. This Prince has never … "
Shangguan Yaohua interrupted, "You're too long-winded! Just say it, will you give it to me or not? "As a young prince, he might not have improved in other aspects, but his domineering aura was becoming more and more abundant with each passing day.
Jiang Liechen quickly circled around for a while, then laughed loudly and said, "Alright, since you're the one who made this request, this Prince will agree. In any case, the Afterimage Sword is a weapon that weaklings are proud of. As a true expert, there is no need to rely on external forces. "
When the Shangguan Yaohua heard that he had actually agreed, the baskets of words he had prepared to say were suddenly emptied, and he was somewhat displeased. In the end, he reluctantly threw out a sentence, "Since you know, why are you still running around, snatching the Seven Fiends treasure, and even killing countless people for it? This is a futile effort, harming others without benefiting yourself. What kind of madness is this? "
