Wan'er frowned, she bit her lip and said firmly: "I won't be at your mercy. You'd better let me go, otherwise you will regret it."

When Sun Jianlong heard Wan'er's words, his face turned gloomy. He leaned close to Wan'er and said in a threatening tone: "Wan'er, don't toast and not eat the punishment. If you are not honest, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Wan'er's body trembled slightly, but she did not retreat. She looked directly into Sun Jianlong's eyes and said firmly: "I'm not afraid of your threat. If you do this... you will be punished."

Sun Jianlong stood up.

"Wan'er, you are a smart person. You should know that I did this for the sake of all of us. As long as you cooperate with me, everything will end." Sun Jianlong tried to convince Wan'er in a gentle tone.

At the same time, Liu Xie received a letter that shocked him. The letter was written to him by a loyal minister, whose name was Wang Meng, who had always been loyal to Liu Xie.

The text in the letter expresses Wang Meng's strong dissatisfaction with the constitutional monarchy.

He believed that the so-called constitutional monarchy actually regarded Liu Xie as a puppet, and he was indignant about it.

When he learned the news, he could not accept such humiliation, so he chose to commit suicide to express his loyalty to the Han Dynasty and his protest to Liu Xie.

Liu Xie read the letter and tears burst out from his eyes. He felt very sad and thought that the minister had died too much and there was no need to do so.

He remembered Wang Meng's daily loyalty and talent, and his heart was filled with endless grief.

"Wang Meng, why are you so confused?" Liu Xie murmured to himself.

On the other side, in Fangjun.

In the palace, Liu Bei frowned, and his eyes revealed a hint of worry.

He was very dissatisfied with the fact that Xi Yu was appointed as prime minister.

Liu Bei said to the confidant eunuch beside him: "Xi Yu is ambitious and must be guarded. He may be detrimental to us as prime minister."

The little eunuch comforted softly: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry too much. Xi Yu's actions will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among others. They will definitely accumulate strength secretly, and there will naturally be people who oppose him at that time. Your Majesty just need to wait and see what the change is and wait for the opportunity."

After hearing the little eunuch's words, Liu Bei felt more at ease. He nodded slightly and said, "Well, you have made sense. We cannot act rashly to avoid causing unnecessary trouble."

He stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the view outside the window. The sky outside the window was gloomy, as if it was reflecting Liu Bei's mood at this time.

Liu Bei knew very well that he had to be cautious, wait for the opportunity, and find the right opportunity to fight against Xi Yu.

Xi Yu finally arrived in front of the cave, and his mood became more and more anxious. After he dismounted, he hurriedly walked towards the cave.

When Xi Yu stepped into the cave, Sun Jianlong walked out of the darkness.

The moment Xi Yu saw Sun Jianlong, he was shocked. His eyes were full of doubt and surprise.

However, Sun Jianlong looked at Xi Yu with a smile, as if he was appreciating his reaction.

"Xi Yu, we're meeting again." Sun Jianlong's voice echoed in the cave.

Xi Yu frowned, he stared at Sun Jianlong and asked, "Sun Jianlong, did you bring Wan'er here? Where is she now?"

Sun Jianlong sneered, and a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.

"Hehe, Xi Yu, don't worry. Wan'er is here now. As long as you promise me a condition, I will let her go." Sun Jianlong's voice came coldly.

Xi Yu's brows frowned even more. He gritted his teeth and asked, "What are the conditions? Tell me."

Sun Jianlong smiled slightly, he leaned close to Xi Yu's ear and whispered: "I want you to withdraw from the officialdom with your own arms and give up your power and status. In this way, I can let Wan'er go."

Xi Yu was shocked when he heard Sun Jianlong's words. He did not expect Sun Jianlong to propose such conditions, which put him in a dilemma.

However, just when Xi Yu was hesitating, Sun Jianlong's words completely shocked him.

"Xi Yu, why do you think I did this? In fact, I am Sima Yi's illegitimate son, and I want to avenge my father!" A trace of madness flashed in Sun Jianlong's eyes.

Xi Yu's face turned pale in an instant. He didn't expect that Sun Jianlong was Sima Yi's illegitimate son.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner shock.

"So that's it. You are for revenge. But I will not promise you." Xi Yu's voice was firm and decisive.

Sun Jianlong looked at Xi Yu coldly, his voice full of threats: "Xi Yu, don't toast or not eat and punish the wine. If you don't agree to my conditions, you won't think of seeing Wan'er."

Xi Yu fell into deep thought. He had to come up with a way to protect Wan'er and protect his own interests.

At this moment, a thought flashed through Xi Yu's mind. He looked up at Sun Jianlong, and then said coldly: "Sun Jianlong, don't think I will give up easily. If you don't let Wan'er go, I will make you pay the price."

"Okay, Xi Yu, since you are unwilling to cooperate, let's take a look. But before that, you can take a look at Wan'er first." Sun Jianlong turned around and walked into the corner and brought Wan'er out.

Wan'er was tied to the corner, and a trace of fear and helplessness appeared in her eyes. Seeing Xi Yu, tears burst out from her eyes.

"Prime Minister, save me..." Wan'er's voice trembled weakly.

The moment Xi Yu saw Wan'er, a strong sense of anger and heartache surged in his heart.

He glared at Sun Jianlong and gritted his teeth and said, "Sun Jianlong, how dare you hurt Wan'er, I will not let you go."

Sun Jianlong sneered, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes: "Xi Yu, don't think you can threaten me. You only have two choices now, either pay your own arms or watch Wan'er suffer."

Xi Yu fell into deep thought. He knew that he had to make a decision as soon as possible. He looked at Wan'er and then at Sun Jianlong.

Wan'er shook her head: "Prime Minister, you'd better leave. You must not do double for me. Otherwise, I will have a conscience in my life except for the sinners of the ages."

After she said this, Sun Jianlong looked at her coldly.

"Stupid girl, if you say something more, I will tear your mouth apart."

After hearing Wan'er's words, Xi Yu felt very relieved.

"You ask Wan'er to go to the cave first, and I will discuss the specific matters with you." Xi Yu said.
