Chapter 1104: The heart to kill arises on its own

Being stared at by Yi Xiaochuan again, Liu Bang felt a deep chill from Yi Xiaochuan's eyes.

If he could still defend himself earlier, claiming that entering the palace to report Yi Xiaochuan was forced by Lu Zhi and that he didn't actually want to report Yi Xiaochuan.

Then now, Liu Bang really didn't know how to refute what the person outside had said.

Back then, Gao Yao had said such things in front of him and Yi Xiaochuan, but Liu Bang hadn't taken Gao Yao seriously and ultimately used flowery words to persuade Yi Xiaochuan, letting the other party continue to choose to believe him.

But the person outside was different.

Liu Bang didn't know the other party's name or status, but looking at his posture, his status was absolutely extraordinary.

If he insisted in front of Yi Xiaochuan that the other party was lying.

Perhaps Yi Xiaochuan would continue to believe him and forgive him, but the person outside might not.

No one could say for sure whether the other party would vent his anger on him.

Liu Bang was a person who knew how to judge the situation. Since the person outside would say these things in front of Yi Xiaochuan, combined with the other party's previous words, Liu Bang decided to take a gamble.

If the gamble succeeded, he might be able to survive.

Of course, he still felt regret in his heart.

Liu Bang regretted that he shouldn't have been misled by female beauty and shouldn't have agreed to Lu Zhi's request to come to the Imperial Palace.

Many thoughts flashed through his mind. Liu Bang faced Yi Xiaochuan and said coldly, "That's right, I was the one who sent you to build the Great Wall back then."

Once these words were spoken, Yi Xiaochuan's body jolted again, and a look of incredulity appeared on his face, "Why?"

Today's Liu Bang was extremely unfamiliar to Yi Xiaochuan.

As Liu Bang's sworn brother and a traveler, Yi Xiaochuan considered himself to understand Liu Bang; as the future Emperor Gaozu of Han, the other party was someone who was extremely loyal and generous.

As a result, he didn't expect that Liu Bang was not the good person he had imagined.

Perhaps, this was Liu Bang's true face.

Yi Xiaochuan whispered to himself in his heart while waiting for Liu Bang to give an answer.

Liu Bang didn't hide it either. He sighed and said, "Xiaochuan, Xiaochuan, there were some things I didn't want to tell you because it would destroy our brotherly friendship, but things have reached this point, so I can only say it."

"That day, I was escorting forced laborers to Xianyang, and two ran away on the way. Although I was a Pavilion Chief, I would be punished if I couldn't bring back the escaped laborers. If I have to blame anyone, I can only blame you for appearing in front of me at the wrong time."

"You and Gao Yao were two people, so in order to protect myself, I could only get you and Gao Yao drunk and send you to perform forced labor."

Yi Xiaochuan's face became increasingly ugly. He found it hard to imagine that such words could come from Liu Bang's mouth. These words were completely different from what he had said that day.

That day, Liu Bang said that the group of officials and soldiers had indiscriminately taken him and Gao Yao away, and he had tried to stop them, but failed.

Speaking of the result, Liu Bang's next sentence was related to the result.

"Although I failed you first, isn't the result quite good? Xiaochuan, my life was preserved, and you and Gao Yao didn't die. Even, if I hadn't sent you to build the Great Wall, you wouldn't have been able to meet Yushu."

"Shameless!" Yi Xiaochuan looked at Liu Bang, and after a long time, spat out these two words.

Although Liu Bang spoke very well and spoke the truth, if he hadn't been sent to build the Great Wall, he wouldn't have been taken to Tu'an and met Yushu.

But thinking of the suffering he endured during the process of building the Great Wall, Yi Xiaochuan was still furious.

What made him feel even more painful was that Gao Yao had found him that day, but he hadn't believed Gao Yao and had believed this shameless villain instead, which led to Gao Yao breaking off relations with him.

Old Gao and he were fellow countrymen, from the same place, so why didn't he believe him back then? Was it because Liu Bang was the future Emperor Gaozu of Han that he chose to believe Liu Bang?

Conversely, if he had really decided to attach himself to Young Master Fu Su and assist the other party in ascending the throne, with Young Master Fu Su's help, he would be with Yushu, and there would be no so-called Emperor Gaozu of Han in the future. After all, his Big Brother, the so-called Overlord of Western Chu, Xiang Yu, was already dead.

Why couldn't he see this point and had to be on good terms with Liu Bang?

"Xiaochuan, Big Brother admits that I failed you. I don't know if you can forgive Big Brother?" Liu Bang's skin was not just for show. Even after admitting that he had deliberately sent Yi Xiaochuan to perform forced labor, he still shamelessly sought Yi Xiaochuan's forgiveness.

Yi Xiaochuan remained silent again.

Earlier, he had forgiven Liu Bang once and didn't pursue the matter of Liu Bang reporting him, as it hadn't caused any greater errors.

Now, should he continue to forgive Liu Bang?

In the end, he hadn't died.

And it was because of the Great Wall incident that he met Yushu.

Liu Bang certainly had his faults, but it could be considered a mistake that led to a good outcome.

Just at this time, Su Xuan outside spoke.

One sentence made the faces of Yi Xiaochuan and Liu Bang change drastically.

"Yi Xiaochuan, you must think clearly. If you are prepared to forgive him, I don't mind fulfilling his wish and telling the Emperor about him reporting you. By then, you will definitely die, and he will use your death to get a promotion and wealth."

"Conversely, if you continue to persist in your previous choice, I don't mind hiding it for you for a while longer!"

Upon hearing this, a painful expression appeared on Yi Xiaochuan's face.

After the incident with Brother Yu, Su Xuan was once again forcing him to make a choice.
