Chapter 95 No.11 Scene Exile III

Yuansui ten years, September [-]rd.Days of torrential rain and a sharp drop in temperature.

Mulu City was shrouded in a gray misty atmosphere, except for the occasional ox carts transporting goods, and teams of black-armored warriors patrolling the city, the whole city seemed to be dead and silent.

Under the Martial Law, all the squares and cities were completely cut off from each other, and they could only be self-sufficient.The formerly bustling Zitong Street was in a state of depression, and restaurants and wine shops closed down one after another.Several nearby shops that were implicated because of Jiayun Zhai were also quickly closed down by the government.The upturned corner of the seal twitched crazily in the cold wind, as if it could only silently accuse injustice in this way.

The people in the city only heard that the successor of King Ye's family has been hiding in the East Palace all day long since he was frightened by the execution ground, and handed over all the government affairs to his uncle Jinghaihou.Although people have some complaints about the martial law order, but in this troubled time, they all know the truth of protecting one's life wisely, and dare not comment on Qi's family affairs.

But what they don't know is that Qi Zixiu is now under house arrest in the palace, and all the guards and servants around him have also been replaced with unfamiliar faces.The young prince was very obedient to this arrangement, because he knew that after his betrayal in the execution ground failed that day, the only way to keep him alive right now was to be obedient.

It wasn't until this day, when the sound of uniform footsteps of armored soldiers sounded outside the closed vermilion lacquer gate of the East Palace, that Qi Zixiu realized that he still couldn't escape this disaster after all.

The leader is a newly promoted young general in Wulan Battalion.The flustered prince watched helplessly as the other party barged in the door like no one else was there, but he couldn't see Uncle Wang in the team.The tearful begging for mercy that he put together in a hurry suddenly became useless, and he immediately fell to the ground.

The young general on the opposite side was unequivocal, and ordered two mahogany trays to be brought forward.There is a white jade wine glass on the left plate, the liquid in the glass is clear, but it has no aroma.On the right plate is a sharp dagger without a sheath, with a chilling killing intent.Qi Zixiu pondered for a while, then suddenly roared loudly.Despair made his bloodshot eyes seem to bleed even more:
"Qi Shouyu! Since you know that my son from Ye Kingdom regards suicide by drinking poison as a cowardly act, why do you pretend to let me choose?! Go back and tell your master that if he wants to take my life, Qi Zixiu, he will come here to see for himself. Watch my nephew slash his neck with a sword, and hear with your own ears what else I have to say!"

"Your Highness Zixiu, stop thinking that you can continue to coax Master Hou to be kind, he will never come to see you. If Your Highness is really afraid of pain, we chose poisoned wine today, and we will never tell the outside world. .”

The young general smiled contemptuously, raised his chin and pointed to the glass of clear poisoned wine on the tray.Soldiers on the left and right also drew out their long knives one after another, not intending to leave a way out for the prince in front of him who had lost his real power.

"Shameless! When Qi Shouyu promised to help me ascend the throne, he carefully pretended to be indifferent to the world! Now that he has suddenly turned his face and seeks power to usurp the throne, he should be punished as treason! All soldiers, as long as you are willing to release Xiao Wang today! A way out of life, no matter what promise he Qi Shouyu made to you, I will give it twice as much after I ascend the throne, no matter money or beautiful women, just ask for anything you want!"

Qi Zixiu completely panicked now, and tried his best to bribe the other party to defect.But the general in front of him was completely unmoved, and laughed loudly:

"Then if the last general wants the throne of the Kingdom of Ye, are you willing to give it to him? Now His Royal Highness Zixiu is just a bird with its feathers plucked. Even if it was a ferocious sea falcon, it will never fly again." To heaven!"

"Birds will peck if they are poor, and beasts will grab if they are poor. Don't deceive people too much!"

Unexpectedly, with a loud shout, Qi Zixiu suddenly jumped up from the ground, stretched out his hand and grasped the short sword in the tray, and swung away the long blades pointed at him by several soldiers. Flee outside the door.

The Xuanjia warriors did not expect that this cowardly and cowardly son would resist at the last moment, and they all froze in place for a while, until the young general who led the team gave a loud order before they all chased after him.

Hearing the footsteps behind him getting closer and closer, Qi Zixiu immediately turned around and swept the weapon in his hand.However, in panic, he failed to hit anyone, instead he stumbled and fell to the ground.

The fall caused the purple gold crown on his head to fall off.The eldest son of Ye Kingdom, who was once above ten thousand people, is now in his East Palace with his hair loose, screaming, like a bereaved dog:
"I'll see who dares to touch me! The succession ceremony will be held tomorrow, if you continue to work for the tiger, you will be the enemy of the new lord of Ye Kingdom, and the spirits of our ancestors in heaven!"

All the lords of Ye Kingdom were brave and good at fighting. Even Qi Zixiu had been strong in martial arts since he was a child, and he was born tall and mighty.In a fit of rage, none of the armored soldiers dared to bully him within three steps of him, but he slowly formed a circle around him holding his long knife.

However, this son, who had never been killed on a battlefield, did not dare to kill with a sword at all.Seeing that the encirclement was about to close, he immediately wanted to flee.Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he saw a figure blocking his way, it was the young general who led the team!

Before Qi Zixiu could react, the long knife in the opponent's hand pierced through his lower abdomen.Shizi let out a scream, and stretched out his hand to hold the blade, trying to stop its momentum.But it was obvious that he had used enough strength on the long knife, and the sharp blade immediately cut off all the muscles on his fingers, revealing the white bones!

Qi Zixiu only felt a hot feeling penetrated his abdominal cavity, and then rubbed his spine and passed out from his back.The opponent deliberately aimed at the vital point, and the severe pain caused his body to lose strength immediately, and his legs softened and he knelt down on the spot.

The young Chujun stretched out his hand tremblingly, and grabbed the corner of the general's clothes, his lips parted and opened as if he wanted to say something.But the opponent raised his foot and kicked hard on his shoulder, and pulled out the knife in a blink of an eye.

The slightly curved tip of the knife pulled out several severed intestines from Qi Zixiu's abdomen.Under the serious injury, he was even unable to continue shouting.As the blood gradually gathered under his body into a red puddle, pink froth rose from the mouth of the dying son.

"Qi Shouyu! Don't think that if you kill me, the world will be peaceful!"

The prince, who was at the end of his rope, exhausted all his strength and shouted out the last sentence loudly.He raised his head, but he could only see a blurred outline of the person standing in front of him, and couldn't see the other person's face clearly.

Under the cloudy sky, the general once again raised the knife in his hand.The sharp blade gently severed the muscles and blood vessels on Qi Zixiu's neck, and then accurately cut through the gap between the two spines.The head that had been proud for more than twenty years flew out in the air, like a melon just picked from the ground.

It wasn't until this time that Qi Shouyu's chunky figure finally appeared in front of the gate of the East Palace.He walked into the courtyard unhurriedly, but took off his robe, and ordered the soldiers behind him to wrap up the ferocious head that rolled to the ground, covered with blood and dust, and then said coldly:

"Bold and rebellious minister, dare to assassinate the new Lord of Ye Kingdom in court. Come on, hack me to death!"

"Master, you—"

There was a look of astonishment on the young general's face.And the current so-called assassination charge is just an excuse to shut him up forever.After all, his qualifications are mediocre, and the reason why he was promoted to general was only because he was chosen as a scapegoat.

Before he could finish speaking, the soldiers beside him rushed forward, swung their long knives and slashed one of the young general's legs.Immediately afterwards, his right arm holding the saber was chopped off like a roll of hemp mat.His comrades who entered the palace together were not spared either.The sharp knives held high in the hands of Qi Shouyu's personal soldiers fell on them like raindrops at this moment, without mercy.

Under the chaos of knives, the living people were stamped into a puddle of minced meat in a blink of an eye, and even the ground paved with white stones in the East Palace was stained red with blood.However, within a few days, servants will take out all the blood-stained square bricks and replace them with new snow-white materials.And everything today will be as if it never happened.

Standing behind all the soldiers, Qi Shouyu just watched all this coldly.Right now, he has already put on a black robe with sea falcon pattern and a nine-pronged crown, and the red belt around his waist is fluttering in the wind.And this suit, originally had to be worn after the coronation ceremony, but now, as the only remaining successor of the Qi family in this world, it seems that even the coronation ceremony is no longer needed.

Xuanjia warriors knelt down around the new lord of Ye Kingdom, shouting long live.But no one could see that the face of this man who had been planning for many years and finally climbed to the pinnacle of power in front of everyone now showed a trace of loneliness and desolation.

In the tenth year of Yuansui, the third day of October.The north wind blows the land, and the grass withers.However, the Yuluan Terrace located in the Dangpucheng King's Palace is as warm as spring.On several huge copper braziers set up at the door, the roasted suckling sheep glowed with oil, exuding a mouth-watering aroma.

In the hall, more than a dozen dancers with graceful figures and soft waists dance to the music of bells and drums.Right now, they are only covered with a layer of gauze skirts as thin as onion wings, and the intimate three points are faintly visible under the clothes, which makes people imagine.

The clan relatives and dignitaries sitting in the hall were already drunk.Some of them went directly to the stage, hugged the woman they liked and kissed and caressed them, and some even acted like a man and a woman under the watchful eyes of everyone.

The dancers didn't dare to resist at all, they just let the men play with their bodies.Obscene laughter and groans echoed between the thick pillars.However, Yin Qujian, the lord of the country, looked at all the ugliness in the audience, as if he was watching a farce, and laughed silently.

Suddenly, the gate of Yuluan Terrace was pushed open, and a tall and thin figure in a cloak entered the hall surrounded by guards, and walked straight to a place only ten steps away from the throne.With the appearance of that person, the bonfire lit in the hall also dimmed in an instant, the cold wind blowing directly made people's skin explode, and the men and women who had been having sex also screamed and got up, and hurriedly covered themselves with clothes body of.

"Didn't the national teacher say that he is not interested tonight, why is he still here?"

Yin Qujian looked at the other party strangely, and his words seemed to be a little unhappy because of the disturbance.

"My lord, I didn't come here for food and beauties, I just want to tell your majesty that the current lord of Ye Kingdom is Qi Shouyu."

The visitor said coldly.Now his whole face was hidden in the shadow of the cloak, and at first glance he looked like a wandering spirit in the dark night, which made the hair stand on end.

"Oh? So, Qi Zixiu is dead? Where did Qi Ziyin go now?"

The Lord of the Cheng Kingdom suddenly stared at the other party firmly, as if the news he brought aroused his interest greatly.

"It's not known yet. However, so many changes have occurred in just one month, it can be concluded that Ye Kingdom will be in chaos for the next few years. If you take this opportunity to send troops, it will be invincible and there will be no disadvantages."

"Is the national teacher urging the widow to send troops? Just for a map that is difficult to distinguish between true and false? It's just that the widow has not been able to figure it out clearly. Is doing so more harm than good to me and to the whole country, or is it Do the pros outweigh the cons?"

Yin Qujian waved his sleeves, and the other people in the hall understood and withdrew in an instant, leaving only the national teacher and the national master looking at each other face to face.

"Earlier, I advised the lord to send troops to the west. In just ten years, Chengguo transformed from a small border area into a great marquis country that can stand up to Weiliang and Yubei. Does the lord still believe me?"

"But this time the opponent is Ye Country!"

"So what? As long as you can get that map during this trip, you can hold the divine power of the ancestors in your hands. At that time, not only the four states and nine kingdoms south of Suoyang Pass will no longer be able to be opponents of Cheng Guo, even Even the emperor in Yujingli has no choice but to bow down to the lord! So, doesn't the lord still not want to try?"

The man in the cloak bowed to persuade, although his tone was neither humble nor overbearing, it was full of temptation.

"How can I not think so! If we can defeat the mighty Ye Kingdom's boat master, and take the opportunity to annex a large piece of fertile land in the south, our country's border will soon span the entire continent! At that time, what Wei Liang, what? Yubei, even the emperor of Yujing, the widow will not pay attention to it!"

Yin Qujian's eyes showed excitement and greed, and the lazy expression on his face was instantly swept away.Then, like a fierce tiger smelling the smell of blood and flesh, it became ferocious.
