Facing Long Xiaoli's cautiousness and contemplation, Long Xiaonan still maintains a gentle and generous attitude: "If Brother Dahuang can turn back when he is lost, I can give you a chance to make meritorious deeds."

"Did crimes and meritorious deeds?" Long Xiaoli looked up as if he had heard a good joke, and laughed again: "This prince is carrying the great crime of killing his father and the king. I am afraid that exterminating nine clans is not enough to atone for the sin. Now you come to tell me that you have committed crimes and performed meritorious deeds? Hehe...Fifth brother, you, the emperor, are no different."

Long Xiaoli's last words still carried an undisguised sarcasm. He was once so high, but suddenly fell into a field that was not as good as a beggar. It was more uncomfortable than killing him. If he continued to be imprisoned here again, he would rather die directly.

In short, facing the fifth younger brother in front of him who he had never paid attention to, and now the king of a country with more than 10,000 people, Long Xiaoli has a desperate posture of smashing the jar.

"Indeed, the law is nothing more than human feelings. What you have committed is a crime of treason and injustice. If I tolerate you, it is nothing more than arousing resistance and dissatisfaction from the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and the criticism of all the people, but... so what?"

Inexplicably feeling that his intentional or unintentional hesitation to speak was somewhat harsh, Long Xiaoli squinted her eyes, trying to see something from his usual elegant face.

Sensing Long Xiaoli's scrutinizing gaze, Long Xiaonan slightly curled his lower lip, squatted down, and looked down at Long Xiaoli, who was leaning against the stone pillar instead of being condescending: "Brother Dahuang has been at the bottom of this well for several months, so it should be that he still doesn't know what has changed in the outside world, right?"

"What do you mean?" Long Xiaoli frowned, faintly having a bad premonition.

"The meaning is very simple..." Long Xiaonan stood up quietly, his tone seemed ordinary and gentle, but there seemed to be a sense of planning between the lines: "Our Jialuo unified the entire continent with the power of one country. In other words, there is only one leader in the entire Mingyue Continent."

He didn't say the whole thing, but the intuitive meaning was enough to stimulate Long Xiaoli.

Continent unified? Under the leadership of Long Xiaonan, Mingyue Continent was unified?

Long Xiaoli's eyes suddenly widened, with disbelief written all over his eyes: "No, it's impossible, my master—"

"Master?" Long Xiaonan suddenly interrupted him: "Are you talking about the Gu king Leng Nanzi? You should have known that if you hadn't secretly colluded with Leng Nanzi in that battle, cooperating with the enemy and betraying the country, how could I, Jialuo, have been forced into danger by the Qinglan Kingdom and the Nanfeng Kingdom in a short period of time... It's a pity that the Gu King who was once feared by people was also vulnerable, and ended up in the wilderness. Do you think that battle is still a threat to me, Jialuo?"

Long Xiaoli's face froze immediately.

The amount of information that Long Xiaonan gave was the result that he never thought would happen. Even during the period of being locked up here, he was lucky for a while, holding a glimmer of hope——

After Leng Nanzi used Gu to control Qinglan Country and Nanfeng Country to win the battle, he would come to find him, and then he... No, there is no such thing anymore.

Who would have thought that once the fantasy was beautiful, the cruelty of reality had already destroyed it to nothing.

The little hope left in his heart was also extinguished by Long Xiaonan's appearance today, Long Xiaoli let out a soft snort, with a self-mockery that he had never had before.

Long Xiaonan took the change in Long Xiaoli's expression into his eyes, and finally opened his mouth slowly: "The imperial court and the rivers and lakes have always been well watered, so neither I nor the father who was still in power at that time could not wipe out the major forces in the rivers and lakes overnight, but someone did it easily. Who do you think this person would be?"

Long Xiaoli didn't speak, but from his dark and deep eyes, it's not hard to see who he is thinking about.

Long Xiaonan smiled gently, as if knowing what he meant, he murmured: "Accordingly, there is nothing wrong with giving the throne to Brother Three, but since he was a child, Brother Three has been a mystery to people, no one knows what he is thinking, what he wants... Maybe he has ambitions, or maybe he has never thought of participating in the struggle for imperial power, but no matter what, we all know that he has been inexplicably powerful these years, so powerful that even the emperor can't do anything about him..."

Hearing Long Xiaonan's words with unknown mentality, Long Xiaoli couldn't help but sneered: "What? You want to deal with him?"

Long Xiaonan paused slightly.

Before he could open his mouth, Long Xiaoli sneered again with "I understand deeply", "It's just you and me here, so there's no need to hide it. After all, in a high position, the most fearful thing is threats. Even if you are above ten thousand people and the king of the world, that's no exception... No, you should be deeply afraid now, afraid of falling from a high position, just like me, and there will be no day to recover."

As if thinking that Long Xiaoli had misunderstood her meaning, Long Xiaonan straightened his face and seriously reminded: "Brother Dahuang, be careful! Not everyone is like you. For the sake of power, you can disregard family affection and climb up by all means. Not to mention that Brother Sanhuang is your brother and foot, but the silent contribution he has made for Jialuo and the unification of the world today is far beyond what you and I can... I will tell you clearly today, even if Brother Sanhuang wants the world today, I will also do it. Give it to him without hesitation."

Long Xiaonan was somewhat surprised that Long Xiaonan would say such words with a correct accent, as if they were not adulterated at all, but he asked himself why he had been involved in the government and the opposition for many years, and he had seen so many intrigues and schemes.

After all, today is different.

Long Xiaoli's heart is like a mirror that has seen through everything, but on the surface, he looks like he sees through and doesn't say anything: "Tell me, how do you want me to take the blame and make meritorious deeds?"

Since Long Xiaonan wanted to save his life, how could he not spare his life?

Although this life may be very embarrassing, as long as his life is still alive, then he has the possibility of making a comeback, Long Xiaoli thought in his heart.

Long Xiaonan didn't say anything to him clearly, he threw a key to unlock the chain to Long Xiaoli's feet, and then pointed to a small weedy cave not far away.

Before Long Xiaonan could say anything, when he saw what he was pointing at, Long Xiaoli, who was holding the key to open the chain under his feet, suddenly exploded: "Let me get out of the dog hole?!"

He has been locked here for several months, how could he not know about the dog hole? Could it be that someone threw three steamed buns in that dog hole on time every day, which made him survive so far.

He endured being imprisoned here for several months while lingering on his last breath, but now that he was finally able to go out, he had to go through a dog hole to get out, it was simply unbearable!

Facing Long Xiaoli's repeated transgressions and offenses, Long Xiaonan still maintained an attitude of indifference, he said indifferently: "Go out from there to the back mountain, there are people outside to meet you, he will guide you what to do."

Long Xiaoli sullenly stared fixedly at Long Xiaonan, as if she wanted him to give an explanation.

But Long Xiaonan ignored him and left with his sleeves.

Before turning around to leave, Long Xiaonan seemed to think of something again, and reminded: "Although the dynasty has changed now, and I have given you a way out, but what you have done and the crimes you have committed before are still unacceptable. I advise you to seize this opportunity, reform your mistakes, and serve the country."

Behind her, Long Xiaoli gritted her teeth, and squeezed out the words word by word from the gap between her teeth. The words she spoke were respectful: "The emperor's kindness is so great that I have kept my minister alive. I will serve the emperor as hard as I can, and I will do my best."

Staring darkly at the stone gate where Long Xiaonan disappeared for a long while, Long Xiaoli spat hard, then reluctantly dragged his embarrassed and powerless body out of the dog's hole.

The cave returned to silence, and the husband and wife who were hiding behind a certain stone pillar came out.

"What do you think Long Xiaonan is thinking? It's too merciful for him to let such a disaster like Long Xiaoli be magnanimous, isn't it?" Looking at the dog hole that Long Xiaoli just went through, Mu Ziling asked in wonder.

"It's just recycling." Long Xiaoyu's answer was very simple and straightforward.

Mu Ziling was even more puzzled: "Long Xiaoli's previous crimes, as he said, punishing the nine clans are not enough to atone, how can such a person be of value? Besides, Long Xiaonan is the king of a country, who can't he do it if he wants to order him? Why did he choose Long Xiaoli, and ah... why did I faintly feel that there was something wrong with Long Xiaonan's words just now? Especially when he mentioned you, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with him. ..."

Long Xiaoyu took her hand and interrupted her thoughts: "It's all irrelevant, don't think about it."

"Isn't it important?" Mu Ziling curled her lips, and looked sideways at Long Xiaoyu with "you have something to hide from me".

"You...we'll talk about it when we get back, huh?" Long Xiaoyu sighed helplessly, and then led her, turned the stone door mechanism, and returned the same way.

When the two of them walked to the concave wall where Mu Ziling's portrait was hung, Long Xiaoyu raised his hand involuntarily, intending to destroy the portrait.

"Don't—" Mu Ziling subconsciously wanted to stop it.

But she just uttered a word, and Long Xiaoyu's eyes fell on her.

Obviously his gaze was very gentle, but Mu Ziling was inexplicably terrified of being stared at, she quickly changed her words: "I said don't destroy it directly, I have a way to let it be destroyed naturally, the kind that can't find any clues."

As she said that, without waiting for Long Xiaoyu's reaction, she quickly took out a medicine bottle from the star system, sprinkled the colorless and odorless powder on the portrait, and then added: "Okay, it's only a matter of time before this painting is destroyed. I promise that when Long Xiaonan comes next time, he will definitely not be able to appreciate the beauty of this girl."

Seeing her narcissistic appearance in the end, Long Xiaoyu's already gentle eyes softened and softened, he raised his hand and rubbed her head: "You are so good... let's go, go home."
