It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

Chapter 548 Tangled Persuasion

"How could he die?" Yang Xianrong was unsteady on her feet and almost fell down. "Wasn't he fine yesterday?"

"He drank so much, how could he not die?" Liu Cong stared at her intently, "I tell you, even if I killed my brother to seize the throne, it was because those people deserved to be killed. But Liu Yao is my brother, the person I value most. If anything happens to him, I will definitely find someone to bury with him. You, will be the first one!"

"Is he dead?" Yang Xianrong asked again in a trembling voice.

"Do you want him to die?" Liu Cong asked back.

"Liu Cong, tell me the truth!" Yang Xianrong couldn't help but yelled, "What happened?"

This roar also frightened the people outside. Yuan Jianshuo and Zhang Heng had already jumped up and tried to open the door to see what was going on. Sima Jing also shouted, "Mother!"

Liu Guang naturally brought people to stop Yuan Jianshuo and others. As a result, a group of people fought together and it was difficult to tell the winner for a while.

"Mother!" Sima Jing's voice was anxious and panicked, and Yang Xianrong was also panicked. She ignored Liu Cong and opened the door to look outside. Fortunately, Zhang Heng protected Sima Jing and hid aside. Yuan Jianshuo had already started fighting with Liu Guang, and every move was very powerful.

"Stop fighting!" Yang Xianrong had no choice but to yell at the group of people in the yard. But they wouldn't listen to her.

"Mom!" Sima Jing shouted again.

Yang Xianrong had no choice but to turn around and say to Liu Cong: "Tell them to stop fighting!"

"Hey, it wasn't me who asked them to fight." Liu Cong actually looked at the melee among the group of people with a bit of joking intent.

"If you have something to say, just say it. Don't do anything else." Yang Xianrong became more and more anxious, and even wanted to kick Liu Cong. However, she also knew the consequences of kicking him, so she could only clench her fist and wave it slightly in front of Liu Cong.

"Alright, alright, got it." Liu Cong finally laughed out loud and shouted outside, "Stop it, I'm talking to the girl from the Yang family, what are you guys doing? Get out and don't get in the way here."

Liu Guang was naturally very obedient and stopped immediately. His martial arts skills were comparable to Yuan Jianshuo's, but he was stronger. If it lasted longer, Yuan Jianshuo would not be able to withstand his strength. Seeing him retreat, Yuan Jianshuo also retreated immediately, shouting at his men to retreat.

"Go on." Yang Xianrong turned around and went back into the house without looking at them again.

Liu Cong naturally followed in again and closed the door.

"You know Liu Yao likes you, right?" Liu Cong said directly, "You are not the queen of Jin anymore, and no one will say anything if you are with him. Even if someone does, I killed them all yesterday, so you don't have to worry too much."

Yang Xianrong grinned, not knowing how to answer him.

Liu Cong had no choice but to say, "I won't beat around the bush. This is the current situation. The Han Dynasty faces many problems. Although I am the emperor, my foundation is not stable, and there will definitely be many people who criticize me. I need Liu Yao to be by my side, and I will not let him go with you. However, he must be with you, so I have to keep you. If you don't leave, I will release Sima Jing and your elder brother... Do you understand?"

"But am I that important?" Yang Xianrong asked. "Of course." Liu Cong answered immediately, "Fifth sister said that there is nothing in the world that Third sister can't solve."

However, when he heard that these were what Yang Xianlian said, Yang Xianrong frowned again.

"Lian'er... Fifth Sister loves and hates you, that's all. It's a pity for her, she really feels uncomfortable having a sister as capable as you." Liu Cong sighed, "If you were her, would you feel comfortable?"

"Yes. I will be very happy to have such a capable sister. I don't have to worry about anything." Yang Xianrong had wrinkles on his forehead.

"Well, I would think so too." Liu Cong had already sat down. "Let's talk about business. Lian'er has returned to dust and dust, that's it. Liu Yao was drunk yesterday and he is still not awake. He is my brother and my most capable general. I need him right now, so I won't let him go. What's more..."

Yang Xianrong understood what Liu Cong said, and she was also surprised that Liu Cong, who looked a little crazy, was so clear-headed. So, was he pretending before? Or, in other words, he pretended to be crazy for the throne.

He didn't say anything else, but just looked at Yang Xianrong, waiting for her response.

Yang Xianrong had no choice but to nod, "I know all of this. Today, I will be honest with you. The reason why I let my elder brother and Sima Jing go first and returned here myself was because I felt that I could not leave. Perhaps, if I hang myself here, you will all have less worries and troubles."

"Why bother? Didn't you also say that living is the most interesting thing? I am willing to help you kill Liang Lanbi and Sima Chi, so you have to help me, right? Even if you don't want to help me, you have to help Liu Yao, he is a person who treats you well with all his heart." Liu Cong's eyes were filled with fire, "I will tell you the truth, my father wanted Liu Yao to be the king of the Han Dynasty... but his identity is too embarrassing... In the future, if I die, the throne will be his."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Yang Xianrong wanted to slam the table.

"How long do you think I can live?" Liu Cong suddenly unbuttoned his armor and the black shirt inside. There was a rotten wound on his abdomen, which looked very scary.

"How could this happen? Who hurt you?" Yang Xianrong's hands were shaking. She wanted to take a closer look, but Liu Cong had already closed his clothes.

"Of course it's only family members who would be like this. The fight for the throne among the Sima family was so brutal, do you think it will be much easier for our Liu family?" Liu Cong laughed, "So, Liu Yao will have to face more things, and you have to help him."

"I am only a woman."

"So what? My father is very optimistic about you. He also said that I am just brave but lack wisdom, while Liu Yao is the child of the woman he loves most."

At this time, Yang Xianrong didn't know about the twists and turns of the Liu family. She just felt very frightened. She even felt vaguely that she was about to enter into another brutal battle. She was not sure whether she could still afford it.

"It's okay. Liu Yao really likes you and is capable. If you... are fine, everyone will be relieved." There was a hint of sadness in Liu Cong's smile. Perhaps he thought of Yang Xianlian again.

"what can I do?"

"Do what you want." When Liu Cong stood up, he looked like a handsome emperor again. No one would have thought that there was a wound in his abdomen that was bleeding. "To be honest, you don't necessarily want to return to Tai'an County and live in silence, do you? But I heard that you are also a restless person, but in such a chaotic world..."
