Queen of the Black Phoenix

Chapter 708 A Small Knife
The closer to Shencheng, the stronger the chilling feeling.

It was dilapidated along the way.

But when it was about to arrive in Shencheng, it was so quiet that even the wind and grass made people feel alarmed.

The wild team and Shenyou's team made an appointment to meet in Licheng.

Licheng was once submerged by floods and was rebuilt later.

The reconstructed Pear City is very beautiful.

The Empress Dowager Zhao personally ordered the reconstruction and supervised it herself.

And the officials under him rebuilt it very carefully for the good of Empress Dowager Zhao.

Every plant and tree seems to be in line with aesthetics.

And in order to flatter Empress Dowager Zhao, Licheng not only has neat planning, but also has the beauty of the northern wilderness.

Visually very flat.

It has to be said that if a literati is an official, if he puts his heart into it, his potential is endless.

It is really not easy to make a small mountain city into a plain, orderly, with the atmosphere of Beiyuan and the culture of Shen.

But someone just did it.

And in order to prevent the flooding of Pear City from happening again, even the entire city's water conservancy has been rebuilt.

It's a pity that this reconstructed city, known as the most beautiful city in Shen country, couldn't wait for the Empress Dowager Zhao to come and inspect it, and the Empress Dowager Zhao died.

The new city that the Queen Mother Zhao had no time to see.

The second prince didn't care, he was serious about building his castle.

Therefore, this new city, Licheng, which has not yet been fully put into use, has not many people in the first place, and the ravages it has encountered are not too many.

Those fire ghosts are in a hurry to enter Shencheng and will not stay here.

So this brand new city ushered in their first batch of visitors.

From a fellow countryman in the wild.

The second batch of visitors came from the army of Xi Kingdom.

In fact, it was the rebellious young adults on this side of the sea, men and women, alive and free, who came here.

Licheng is full of voices.

……

Qu Qi looked at Dong Shi, and Dong Shi looked at Qu Qi.

There were two patches of red on Qu Qi's fair face, as if sunburned.

Half of the wild land belongs to the plateau, and the sun is very strong.

"It looks better than before. It used to be as white as a dead person." Dong Shi said.

Qu Qi also retorted: "Don't make your bangs look good, cover your bangs like an old aunt."

Then the two looked at each other and smiled.

Qu Qi's master is Yin Kezhou.

Yin Kezhou knew about Qu Qi's expedition, but he just told her that if you come back alive, you will be yourself in the future, you can be Mrs. Lu, you can be his mother Zhaofu... whatever, just come back alive.

She is on the battlefield, but she is not sad at all, she is full of joy, from now on, she is herself.

Even if she dies, she can die in front of her husband Lu Wu.

Worth it.

……

Third Master Wang Ruyi picked up a cup of tea and handed it to Chen Yuyu.

Chen Yuyu was a little older.

Unexpectedly, after many years, the two would meet each other like this.

According to the statement issued by the second prince, they are all traitors and rebels.

The second prince is in Shencheng to protect the blood of the royal family of Shen Kingdom.

Royal blood is a girl.

A girl named Li Si.

Everyone knows who she was born to.

However, it's just an excuse, and it doesn't matter if the excuse is true or not.

Wang Ruyi has half a hundred hair, but she looks very energetic.

Master Chen's hair is all white, and he looks a little lacking in energy. After all, he is a pure literati. Traveling all the way, marching all the way, is very exhausting for him.

But today, he saw his former students, and saw that most of those young men had families and established businesses, and he was very happy.

The army here does not drink alcohol, but can substitute tea for alcohol.

The tea is not good tea, but it tastes sweet.

The old dean of Shen Xuegong stayed in the wilderness, and the young ones who were able to leave all came out.

It's like going to class again.

Wang Ruyi walked around with Chen Yuyu, and the students stood up one after another to say hello to their husband.

The difference is that the husband has white hair all over his head, and the student has wrinkles on his face.

Are getting old.

But this is not the end, the students start a family, have children, and their children continue to go to school in the wilderness.

This is continuation.

A cup of tea, the place is changed, but the people are still the same.

……

God bless the four brothers and sisters, also gathered here.

As the eldest brother, Lu Ge looked at his younger siblings.

Lu Wu's injury looked much better, he was dressed in military uniform, majestic, when the two armies met, seeing the strong general on the opposite side, he knew it was Lu Wu, so he felt at ease.

Lu Xun was still dressed neatly, with a warm smile on his face, and his earlobes were puffed up, impatient to be teased.

The biggest change is God Bless.

He took off his armor and put on ordinary clothes, which were also dragon robes embroidered with dragons.

She is the queen of everyone in Licheng.

The wild land belongs to her, Xi Guo respects her as the emperor, and everyone obeys her.

But she is much thinner than before.

The slender neck seemed to snap when twisted.

Wearing a dragon robe, the description is even more beautiful.

Strange beauty.

The majesty of the dragon robe, her weakness and firmness, anyone who sees her will be reluctant to look away.

They had a meal together as usual.

A very homely meal.

After dinner, they will set off again.

No matter what conspiracy or trap there is, you have to break through it.

But at this moment, it was still like childhood, no matter what clothes everyone wore or who they became, they were still brothers and sisters.

Eating is a bit fast, rushing in general.

……

In Shencheng, in a luxurious mansion, a beautiful table was filled with meals.

However, there was only one person eating.

Ye Shoufu.

He is still the chief assistant.

The country is ruined and the family is destroyed, but his status remains unchanged.

Even his house is bigger than before.

The second prince gave him a mansion, and also gave him slaves.

Ye Shoufu could order those fire ghost slaves to work. They were very obedient, much more obedient than the slaves in the family before, and they had no intention of autonomy.

In the past, the servants in the family always had many demands, even if they were given monthly money, they would even want to steal and play tricks.

But slaves don't.

Slaves don't need monthly money, but work diligently.

Even Ye Shoufu felt that slaves were indeed easier to use and manage than servants.

Hard work, no one will resist.

He eats alone, in the new environment, he pays great attention to keeping fit, and mixes meat and vegetables.

There was no old wife on the table, nor did he marry any beautiful concubine, he didn't have one in the first place.

His daughter, Queen Ye Min, is still in the small room in the palace.

With a younger child.

The second prince once asked him if he wanted to take his daughter away.

Because Queen Ye Min seemed to be crazy, she didn't speak anymore, she stared at her every day, holding a child in her arms, she just remembered to eat and feed the child.

She didn't let anyone touch the child, she didn't talk, she didn't wash and dress up, she just remembered to eat and feed the child.

Ye Shoufu refused.

He made it clear that his daughter is already a married person, that is, someone else's family.

There is life and death.

The second prince was a little surprised, but he was very satisfied with his attitude, and gave him a lot of rewards.

He ate fine japonica rice, drank mushroom soup with appropriate taste, four dishes and one soup, two meat and two vegetables.

He pays great attention to the meals he eats, and he carefully screens out the people who buy the vegetables and cook the meals.

He is afraid of being poisoned by others.

He was also terrified of assassination.

The recent Shencheng is eerily calm.

The people stopped yelling, and no one spit at him anymore. He thought he was caught clean, but he always felt that it was not.

There is always some worry.

He ate, chewed slowly, and tasted even the white rice over and over again.

Living is not easy, we must seriously enjoy every detail.

Those ignorant people called him a traitor and called him a villain, because they didn't understand him.

He just wants to live, to realize his ambition, and to live even more.

Even under the second prince, if the unification of the world is achieved, it will be the same, at least he has achieved it.

He was thinking like this, holding the chopsticks to pick up vegetables, and suddenly there was a knife on the back of his hand.

It was small, with a beautiful red line on the hilt, and it wobbled in his hand.

The point of the knife sank into his palm.

He was surprised first, and then felt the pain.

Then he looked up, and the door opened.

The slaves outside were all lying down, but the person walking in was a little strange to him, he only looked into his eyes repeatedly, and then asked uncertainly: "Emperor Jing?"
