Mother, I have returned to the throne.

Chapter 137 A Gamble

Song Yuan disagreed with the term "tyrant" from the bottom of his heart.

At least after he traveled through time, Song Youji's various behaviors were still vivid in his mind.

The other party is not dissolute and immoral, and does not believe in slander.

In normal times, he always puts the interests of the people first. The fact that he was forced to send his beloved son to the border is the best proof of this!

Towards the outside world, Song Youji's attitude was even tougher, and could be described as iron-blooded.

How could such a kind and righteous person be described as a tyrant?

So Song Yuan immediately thought that the golden lotus in front of him might have been bewitched by someone?

There might be another culprit behind the other party, and Song Yuan’s ultimate goal is to find this person out!

"If you want to kill me, just do it now. There's no need to talk to me so much!"

Song Yuan tried his best to persuade Jinlian, hoping to understand everything, but he did not expect Jinlian's attitude to be so tough that she simply refused with her neck stiff.

"Isn't it good to be alive?" Song Yuan smiled bitterly when he noticed the other party's firm attitude.

"I didn't say I had to kill you, why did you force me to do it?"

"Do you think I'm alive?" Jinlian's eyes widened, and a hint of anger flashed in her pupils.

It was as if a flame was about to devour everything.

"I'm telling you, I was already dead! The person standing before you now is just a puppet. From the moment my nine clans were exterminated, my people have already died along with my relatives!"

what?

Nine clans were executed?

There is such a thing?

Song Yuan frowned slightly when he heard such emotion, and immediately found out everything.

It seems that it is not someone else's business, but just because of the sorrow and grudge of the past.

But how serious a crime did Jinlian’s relatives commit?

According to Song Yuan's understanding, in the Great Qin, only treason would result in the death penalty of exterminating nine generations of the clan!

No wonder the other party kept talking about assassinating the emperor.

Such a deep hatred that I would never let go even if it cost me my life.

In just a moment, Song Yuan understood Jinlian's inner difficulties, and he fell silent immediately.

After more than ten seconds, Song Yuan raised his head and waved gently at Huo Jianchuan.

"Okay, let go of your hands!"

"You go down first, and Wang Chao and Ma Han, you two take that girl away too!"

"I want to talk to him alone. It's not appropriate for you to be here!"

"Your Highness, you absolutely cannot do this!" Huo Jianchuan immediately knelt on the ground, his face full of excitement.

The first thing he did was to comfort Song Yuan: "Your Highness, you are worth a lot of money. What if we leave and this woman attacks you, and you are powerless?"

"Don't worry, if she wanted to kill me, she would have done it long ago. Why would she wait until now?"

"Your Highness, this is a different time. Back then, this woman's identity hadn't been exposed yet, and she still had a glimmer of hope. Now she's on the verge of death, so it's inevitable that she'll resort to desperate measures!"

Huo Jianchuan's words were immediately recognized by Wang Chao and Ma Han. The three of them stood on the same front at this moment and were unwilling to leave no matter what.

"Okay!" Song Yuan's face darkened and his tone of voice was a bit harsh.

"You are so many grown men, are you afraid of a woman?"

"Besides, no matter what choice I make, it's just a gamble. So, what difference does it make whether I bet big or small?"

Song Yuan did not detect any murderous intent in Jinlian.

It is precisely for this reason that he dares to be so bold. Otherwise, even if Song Yuan had three times the courage, he might not dare to do so.

After all, Song Yuan thought that Jinlian had no reason to kill him. Even if she really wanted to escape, she would only use him as a hostage in exchange for a glimmer of hope.

After all, in Jinlian's heart, assassinating the emperor is her only goal.

How can I be willing to die now that my blood feud has not yet been avenged?

If it really doesn't work, Song Yuan also has his own trump card.

Don't be fooled by his gentle appearance, but when it comes to a life-and-death fight, Song Yuan has many small tricks on his body that are enough to delay time while ensuring his own safety!

After all, someone as afraid of death as him always puts his own safety first. If he is not 70% sure, how dare he do anything reckless?

As if he had sensed Song Yuan's determination, Huo Jianchuan remained silent for a long time this time.

It took a full cup of tea before he finally decided to obey.

He slowly released his hand that was clasping Jinlian's neck and turned away.

Seeing this, Wang Chao and Ma Han hurriedly followed.

However, the three did not go far, but stayed about ten meters away.

on site.

Jinlian's eyes widened, and her pupils were full of disbelief. She couldn't imagine why Song Yuan didn't kill her but gave her a chance to explain?

"sit!"

Under Jinlian's gaze, Song Yuan remained exceptionally calm, pointing at the chair next to him without making any expression.

Such a nonchalant attitude made Jinlian instantly angry and embarrassed.

You said I can't kill you, then I'm going to kill you and see!

"Song Yuan, do you know that you made a mistake in your bet? Since I can't kill the tyrant emperor, I'll kill his son. This way, I can earn some interest!"

Jinlian pretended to be fierce and the anger in her heart suddenly erupted at this moment. She flashed behind Song Yuan and pinched Song Yuan's neck with her right hand.

It seemed as if even a slight effort could cost him his life.

In contrast, Song Yuan did not dodge or evade during this process, and even his facial expression did not change at all.

"Have you had enough of the fuss? If you have, sit down and have a good chat!"

"Hmph! I'll send you to see the King of Hell right now!"

Jinlian completely exploded, and her fingers exerted force instantly. In just a moment, two bloody marks were left on Song Yuan's neck.

Even so, there was still no trace of fear in Song Yuan's pupils.

This time Jinlian was really panicked, but in just a few seconds, he had already let go of his hand and asked Song Yuan in a daze.

"You...are you really not afraid of death?"

Song Yuan shrugged, rubbed his red neck and coughed lightly.

Then he answered Jinlian's question with a smile.

"It's not that I'm not afraid of death, but I know you will never kill me!"

"Because I can see that although there is evil in your eyes, at least you still have a little bit of conscience!"

"You are seeking revenge, but you won't resort to any means necessary. You have a bottom line in your heart, so you won't kill innocent people!"

"You are his son, how can you be considered innocent?" Jinlian was so angry that she asked back immediately.

Song Yuan smiled and shrugged.

"What connection do you think I have with this dynasty? I've been treated like trash since I was little. Even my father ignored me. And I've never participated in politics. I can't even count the number of times I've met him!"

"If someone like me is not considered innocent, then the other princes would have been slaughtered one by one long ago, right?"

"You've implicated your entire clan, and I had no idea. Ignorance is not a crime, am I right about that?"
