Chapter 140
Wen Liang clenched his palms tightly, took a deep breath, and said, "I know there is something that can change your current situation."
The focus of Shi Jin's eyes finally settled on Wen Liang's face, he restrained himself and said, "What do you mean by that?"
"It literally means it." Wen Liang took a few steps closer to Shi Jin, "I once picked up a stone on a barren mountain. I thought it was just an ordinary stone, but I didn't want the stone to have a name attached to it. System' monster, it can grant my wish unconditionally."
Shi Jin frowned, and his expression became more and more strange. When Wen Liang finished speaking, he looked at Wen Liang as if he was looking at a lunatic.
Although Wen Liang had already guessed that Shi Jin would not believe his words easily, but he didn't have any evidence in his hands, not even the stone with him, so he could only persuade Shi Jin with weak words.
"I'm not lying, you believe me." Wen Liang said anxiously, "The system has told me many things, it said that the prince is violent, murderous, and unworthy of virtue, even if he sits on the dragon chair, he will be disqualified one day. If someone overthrows you, that person is you, King Xuan, you are the real emperor, you should not be trapped in this small space waiting for execution."
The more Wen Liang spoke, the more excited he became, but Shi Jin didn't respond at all, his expression was so numb that he didn't even lift his eyelids.
After Wen Liang finished speaking, Shi Jin slowly opened his lips: "You came to the prison just to tell me this?"
Wen Liang was stunned: "I..."
Shi Jin interrupted him: "Since that's the case, now that you've finished speaking, you can go."
"No, that's not the case." Wen Haohao didn't wait for this opportunity. He definitely couldn't leave empty-handed. He hurried forward, knelt by the bed, and grabbed Shi Jin's clothes with both hands, "King Xuan, I am I sincerely hope that you can change the status quo. You don’t belong here, you belong to that dragon chair. This is what the system told me. As long as you help me get back the system and that stone, I can help you change all this. For reality!"
Just get that rock back.
Although he didn't know the exact location of the stone, he vaguely heard some rumors. He heard that the stone was an heirloom of the Hua family. went back.
Now that the Hua family is in decline, it should be easier than before to take that stone away from the Hua family, and Shi Jin has contacts with the Hua family, so it may be easier.
Apart from him, there may be no other person who knows the true use of that stone.
The Hua family is all ruined, so does anyone still care about the whereabouts of that stone?
The small calculations in Wen Liang's heart were pounding, he didn't believe that Shi Jin had really reached the end of his life, Shi Jin was a prince after all, and it was impossible that he didn't have cronies running around for him outside.
Even if Shi Jin is watched closely, he can still contact those cronies by himself.
However, before he could finish thinking, Shi Jin suddenly reached out and pinched his chin.
Shi Jin's strength was not heavy, but he still controlled Wen Liang so tightly that he couldn't move.
Wen Liang was forced to raise his head, and met Shang Shi Jin's dark eyes.
"What? Now that I am in peace, even your nameless dog is eager to step on me?" Shi Jin's face was tense, as if he had recalled something bad. Something happened, the undercurrent in the eyes was surging wildly, "Are you stupid or do you think I am a fool? Or to put it another way, who encouraged you to come and say these words? If you can't do it once, you want to kill me a second time, right? "
Wen Liang was terrified, tears streaming down his face, he didn't care about the pain in his chin being pinched by Shi Jin, he shook his head like a rattle: "No, Prince Xuan... I didn't lie to you, what I said was true In other words, the stone should still be in Hua's house now, as long as you find someone to go to Hua's house with me to search and find that stone, then I can rescue you from here."
Shi Jin looked at Wen Liang's face full of tears, couldn't bear it anymore, let go of Wen Liang's chin, and turned his head suddenly: "Get lost!"
Wen Liang was already crying. He knelt on the ground, not wanting to leave, let alone miss this only and last chance. He cried, "King Xuan, you have no way out, why don't you trust me once, and I promise not to let you go." You are disappointed."
The room was very quiet, and Wen Liang's crying sound was very ear-piercing against the backdrop.
Shi Jin closed his eyes, only feeling a throbbing pain in his temples.
In the past two days, he had thought about who would come to visit him, but he didn't know that there was no one on the list in his mind, but an inexplicable person like Wen Liang came.
After thinking about it, he couldn't think of any intersection between him and this Wen family. Even if what this person said was true, he shouldn't have worked so hard to come here and tell him.
And he couldn't afford to gamble anymore...
He lost everything in this struggle, money, power, status, reputation, all gone, he only left his mother, and he didn't want to take his mother to risk again.
Shi Jin rubbed his temples, forced himself to calm down, and said in a low voice, "Before you told me these things, didn't you ask about them?"
Wen Liang asked, "What are you asking?"
Shi Jin laughed at himself: "I am the emperor's son, how could I be executed so easily?"
Wen Liang was stunned: "Then you..."
Shi Jin turned to look at him: "I was just sent to the frontier, so I wouldn't lose my life."
When Wen Liang suddenly heard the news, he didn't know whether to be happy or disappointed. He was happy because Shi Jin was saved from death, and disappointed because Shi Jin hadn't come to a dead end, so naturally he wouldn't fight with him.
Sure enough, the next moment, Shi Jin said: "Now I am no longer King Xuan, just Shi Jin, no matter what your purpose of seeing me this time, no matter what you just said is true or not, I have nothing to bet on. "
In the end, Shi Jin's eyes fell on the tear stains on Wen Liang's cheeks.
Wen Liang cried sadly, tears rolled down his cheeks, he was already handsome and handsome, but now he has lost a lot of weight, which made those big eyes look very lively.
With tears in Wen Liang's eyes, he raised his head and looked at Shi Jin with tears in his eyes, despair spreading across his face.
Seeing this scene, for some reason, Shi Jin felt a strange feeling in his heart. This unprecedented feeling drove him to raise his hand, and his fingertips were stained with tears from the corners of Wen Liang's eyes.
The warm touch immediately spread from his fingertips to his sensory world.
Shi Jin froze for a moment, the strange thing was that he didn't reject this feeling, as if this feeling should naturally exist between him and the person in front of him.
"Why?" Shi Jin didn't care about these things at first, but now he couldn't help asking, "Why did you tell me these things?"
Wen Liang didn't speak, only tears flowed down uncontrollably.
Shi Jin continued to ask, "Why?"
Wen Liang cried and shook his head, but after hesitating for a while, he still replied in a crying voice: "Because it's you."
"It's me?" Shi Jin couldn't understand, "What's wrong with me? Did we know each other before?"
Wen Liang hesitated to speak: "We..."
Shi Jin's empty eyes finally had some light, he looked at Wen Liang intently, and waited earnestly for Wen Liang's answer.
The two of them faced each other, and the distance was so close that Wen Liang could clearly see his reflection in Shi Jin's eyes. At this moment, an impulse arose in his heart.
He wanted to tell Shi Jin all this.
He wanted Shi Jin to know what his original future was like.
"Prince Xuan, actually we..."
Just as Wen Liang started to speak, he was interrupted by the sound of footsteps behind him.
Wen Liang and Shi Jin felt vigilant at the same time, stopped talking, and looked back together.
I saw a dark blue figure standing at the door of the house at some point. The figure of that person was extremely tall, but extremely thin. His pale complexion made him look particularly haggard, but his face was also extremely beautiful, as if drawn from a painting. Come out of the general.
It was not the first time for Wen Liang to see him, and he was stunned for a moment by that face.
On the contrary, Shi Jin's air pressure in front of Wen Liang suddenly dropped, and he stared at Shi Ye without blinking, the hatred in his eyes almost overflowing the air.
It's a pity that Shi Ye didn't pay attention to Shi Jin at all, but just looked at Wen Liang expressionlessly.
Wen Liang's scalp was numb from Shi Ye's gaze, and he subconsciously leaned against Shi Jin.
Shi Ye lifted his foot and walked in.
Shi Jin suddenly looked like a cat whose fur had exploded, with fear and anger intertwined on his face, and he tried to hide his emotions with a raised voice: "What are you doing here!"
Shi Ye turned a deaf ear to Shi Jin's voice, and walked straight to Wen Liang. He was very tall, and when he looked down at Wen Liang who was kneeling on the ground from a height, his momentum was like a giant mountain.
Wen Liang was almost suffocated by the pressure, and hurriedly hid in Shi Jin's arms, obviously taking Shi Jin as a straw to save his life.
Seeing Wen Liang's embarrassed look, Shi Ye suddenly burst into a smile: "It turns out that Lingshi really has such a great ability."
Shi Jin was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, his voice trembling with anger: "You actually eavesdropped on our conversation!"
Shi Ye raised his eyelids, and retorted confidently: "I'm listening openly, why should I eavesdrop?"
Shi Jin almost vomited blood: "You!"
At this time, Wen Liang vaguely understood something, he opened his red eyes in shock, wanted to ask but quickly swallowed the words back, he didn't know how much Shi Ye had heard, and was even more afraid of making too many mistakes, so he bit his lip not talking.
It's a pity that Shi Ye didn't let go of his plan, and said: "I still underestimated you, I didn't expect you to be so courageous and dare to put your mind on the spirit stone."
Wen Liang knew that he couldn't escape, his lips trembled, and he could only pretend to be stupid: "His Royal Highness, what spirit stone are you talking about? I don't quite understand."
Shi Ye smiled, but his eyes were filled with ice: "It's the spirit stone you plan to use to help King Xuan usurp the throne."
Wen Liang's face turned pale, green and pale again, his legs were trembling with fright, and he had to bite the bullet and continue pretending to be stupid: "His Royal Highness, I really don't know what you are talking about, and neither do I. What is a spirit stone, I..."
"If you don't know, then you don't know." Shi Ye didn't take it seriously, "I forgot to say that the spirit stone is in my hands. If you want to get the spirit stone, I'm afraid you can only step on my corpse."
These words were like a thunderbolt, exploding in Wen Liang's ears.
Wen Liang couldn't support himself for a moment, and changed from kneeling to sitting slumped on the ground.
His whole face was extremely pale, and there seemed to be something floating in his eyes. He came full of hope, but at this moment he was shrouded firmly in a huge net of despair.
It turned out that the prince knew the benefits of the stone long ago, and even got the stone before him.
If so, what room does he have to struggle?
He was completely defeated, like the salted fish that was trampled on the ground, without even a chance to stand up.
Wen Liang got up from the ground numbly, glanced at Shi Jin for the last time, and then walked out of the room without looking back.
The eunuch was still guarding outside the house. Seeing him coming out, there was a trace of contempt in his eyes: "Have you finished what you want to say? Let's go."
Wen Liang nodded and followed the eunuch without saying a word.
Walking out of the dim dungeon, the bright light outside shines on your face.
Wen Liang squinted his eyes, and after he got used to the light, he saw the tall dark gray wall again, just like his future life, without any bright colors for embellishment.
He was not a person who would succumb to fate since he was a child, but good luck made others, his struggle, his resistance, and his efforts became the ropes that bound him in the end.
He always felt that his life shouldn't be like this.
However, the fact is that, at this moment, he understood the meaning of the word "admitting fate".
After Wen Liang left, only Shi Ye and Shi Jin were left in the room.
Shi Jin's mind was in chaos. On the one hand, he was thinking about Wen Liang's inexplicable words, and on the other hand, he was thinking about what Shi Ye said to Wen Liang.
Since even Shi Ye said so...
So everything Wen Liang said is the truth?
Is there really a stone in this world that can turn the world around?
Shi Jin no longer knew how he should react, he could feel that Cai Wenliang still had a lot to say to him, but unfortunately he didn't have time.
While he was thinking wildly, a few soldiers dragged in a bloody man from outside the house, leaving a trail of blood, and finally threw the man in front of the bed.
The room was instantly filled with a pungent bloody smell.
Shi Jin was brought back to his thoughts, and frowned. He looked at the bloody man on the ground, but he saw a familiar face the next moment.
"Ping, safe?" Shi Jin jumped up from the bed on the spot, stepped forward, squatted down and took a closer look,
The people on the ground were motionless, the clothes on their bodies had already been soaked with blood, and under the tattered clothes from the whips, one could see horrific scars that were ripped apart.
Ping'an's face was stained with a lot of blood, but it couldn't stop his frozen expression of pain at the moment before death, perhaps because of the extreme pain, his face was so ferocious that it was frightening.
Ping An is dead, too dead to be dead.
