42. Being smart is mistaken by being smart

When the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny heard this, he seemed to be stunned, and the brush stopped in place and did not move for a long time. It was a long time before he put down the brush and let out a nervous smile.

"He's finally on this path, and it's good, it's good, hehe. ”

The Heavenly Mandate Emperor on the jade throne smiled nervously, his body trembled, even through the mask and the white clothes, Dugu Xin could feel the terrifying aura that made his heart palpitate.

He said in horror: "Your Majesty, it is said that an army of 10,000 people has marched into the capital. ”

"It was Li Laiheng and Yuan Zongdi who were the leaders, and it was they, together with Shi Yuanji, who killed everyone in Taiji Palace. ”

"Your Majesty, they may already be heading towards Xingqing Mountain and starting to force the palace. ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't hide his panic anymore, and knelt in place, waiting for the Heavenly Mandate Emperor's reaction.

He believed that with the intelligence and alertness of the Emperor of Heavenly Mandate, he would not sit idly by, and Shi Yuanji would inevitably pay the price. And he himself will become the most powerful young man in the whole Dayu.

"Dugu Xin, you first told me that you took refuge in me for the sake of Dayu Sheji, right?"

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny slowly walked towards the jade throne and came to Dugu Xin, two harsh gazes shot out of the eyes of the mask.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister is loyal. Dugu Xin said sincerely.

"Your Majesty, that Shi Yuanji wolf son has long had two hearts, and today he led troops to Xingqing Mountain to force the palace, and his intention is obvious!"

"Although he is a righteous man cultivated by His Majesty, he has long ceased to be loyal to His Majesty, and I am willing to use this as a shield to protect His Majesty and thwart his conspiracy!"

After hearing this, the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny snorted coldly, looked at Dugu Xin's anxious and tangled face, and smiled even more nervously.

"I never said that Shi Yuanji was cultivated by me. However, I can understand that it is indeed incredible that a poor boy from the north who has no support is a master of natural disasters. ”

"How many natural disasters do you have in your Dugu family? Don't mention the previous ones, you are the only one in the younger generation who is the most talented. ”

"So it's hard for you to understand, Shi Yuanji, you are inferior to you in terms of backstage, not as good as you in terms of resources, but you are a master of natural disasters, you think it's incredible, right. ”

After hearing this, Dugu Xin was very happy, as if he had gotten a bosom friend, and said with an exaggerated smile: "Your Majesty is really a genius in the sky, what you said is too right." ”

"My Dugu family has been in the family business for 200 years, and now there is no natural disaster in the younger generation, why can he stand out from the crowd as a poor ghost?"

"Even if he worked hard to study and cultivate to achieve this achievement, then it would be unfair, why is my Dugu family's hundred-year-old family business inferior to his efforts?"

The more Dugu Xin spoke, the more excited he became, and the spit stars spewed straight out, dancing with his hands, making the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny take two steps back, so as not to be splashed by Dugu Xin's saliva rain.

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny was covered by a mask, and Dugu Xin didn't know if his words could make him feel touched.

He had no choice but to stop, wait for the Heavenly Mandate Emperor's reaction, and improvise.

"You're so funny. Under the mask, there was the unexplained laughter of the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny. "Do you mean fair?"

"By the way, you have assassinated Yuan Rang, and Shi Yuanji will definitely not spare you, so I think you are better at cutting yourself. ”

"What?" Dugu Xin looked at the Emperor of Heavenly Mandate in amazement, he didn't believe that the Emperor of Heavenly Mandate would be helpless in the face of Shi Yuanji.

In his eyes, a dead soldier who has been cultivated for so many years, even if he grows stronger, must have a way to counteract.

But now, it seems that the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny wants to use him to block Shi Yuanji's anger and use him as a scapegoat.

"Your Majesty, Shi Yuanji is leading the soldiers to the Xingqing Mountain Palace, you can't sit still. Don't you have the means to restrain Shi Yuanji?"

Emperor Heavenly Destiny snorted coldly: "To tell you the truth, no. ”

You really want me to be a scapegoat, Dugu Xin shouted in his heart.

"Your Majesty, this is not fair, although I have not been with you for a long time, I have always been loyal. ”

"The reason why I entered the Chengyun Pavilion and assassinated Yuan Rang is for Your Majesty, you can't unload the mill and kill the donkey at this time!"

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny stood in place, looking at Dugu Xin through the mask, indifferent.

"Your Majesty, even if you let me be a scapegoat, will Shi Yuanji spare you?"

"You know him, he thinks he is righteous and speaks for the poor, and Yuan Rang is still his right-hand man. ”

"He will never give up, how can he take my life and spare you?"

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny slowly walked to the door of the main hall, turned his back to Dugu Xin, looked at the beggar army that had entered the field of vision, took off his mask, and threw it far away.

He sarcastically said, "Dugu Xin, are you also worthy of calling for fairness?"

"Aren't you yourself under an unfair system that you have stepped into the position of the future heir of the Dugu family?"

"Don't you think it's ridiculous that you're the biggest beneficiary of injustice, and now you're calling for it?"

With that, the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny turned around and showed a healthy, handsome and tangled smile. The smile was very eerie, I couldn't tell whether it was gloomy or crazy, and there was even a hint of cruelty in it.

Dugu Xin regretted it greatly, and he couldn't help but think of running away from this place of right and wrong.

In his plan, the Emperor of Heavenly Mandate must be Shi Yuanji's master. The slave grows bigger, and the Emperor of Heaven, as the master, must support the new person and replace him.

And he is the candidate to replace Shi Yuanji and become the upstart of the court.

But the performance of the Heavenly Mandate Emperor exceeded his expectations, and he was out of his control step by step. Let him kill Yuan Rang, it can be said that he broke Shi Yuanji's wings. But Shi Yuanji's troops were all in the city, and the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny was indifferent, and even laughed out loud.

Could it be that all he did was just to provoke Shi Yuanji?

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny took off the white silk robe on his body, revealing the black dragon robe under the white robe, he looked at Dugu Xin, and seemed to persuade worriedly:

"You better run, I'm not afraid of him, it's just a big deal. ”

"It's your Dugu family, the younger generation is withering, without you, what can you do with the Dugu family? ”

Dugu Xin's eyes widened, and without hesitation, he ran out of the hall in a panic, but collided with the beggar army who was heading.

He looked up, his face was expressionless, but his eyes looked like Shi Yuanji, who was wearing a gray arrow robe, and was reaching out to grab him, lift him up, and throw him into the main hall.

Shi Yuanji looked at Dugu Xin coldly and didn't say a word. Behind him, Li Laiheng and Yuan Zongdi commanded the beggar army and surrounded the various entrances to Xingqing Mountain.

Twenty-eight Star Monarchs, the Imperial Forest Army, these armies that defend Xingqing Mountain have long been lined up, but the beggar army's magic guns like forests and mountains are all leveled, so that the two sides face each other.

"Bold Shi Yuanji, why are you rebelling?" Under Shi Yuanji's huge momentum, Dugu Xin knew that he had nowhere to escape, so he simply emboldened him and scolded him angrily.

This is the only way for him to live.

Shi Yuanji looked at Dugu Xin for a long time, and said coldly: "Dugu Xin, why are you still like before, this is not a brawl in Chengyun Pavilion, and a few cruel words can't solve the problem." ”

"This is not a quarrel between children, this is a life-and-death court fight. As for why I'm here with the army, you know very well, right?"

Dugu Xin was in a cold sweat, and he no longer had the courage to confront Shi Yuanji, and even forgot about escaping.

He knelt on the ground with a thud and anxiously begged for mercy: "Chonghehou, it was His Majesty who asked me to do it, and I just acted on orders." ”

Shi Yuanji pushed Dugu Xin, like pushing on a rag doll, pushing him to the ground, and then said: "You assassinated my senior brother, although you didn't succeed, but you also seriously injured him, so I only need you one leg." ”

"You do it yourself, it's decent. You must know that the mastermind who really killed my senior brother has already died in Taiji Palace. You don't have to worry about the safety of the Dugu family, Dugu has already cut ties with you. ”

Dugu Xin was taken aback, the cold sweat had already subsided, but tears flowed down: "This is impossible, how can my fourth uncle give up on me? I am the leader of the younger generation!"

Shi Yuanji explained impatiently: "Dugu Yao has drawn up a list, and the people on the list will serve in the beggar army, and there is no you in it. ”

When Dugu Xin heard this, he gasped nervously and almost vomited.

"What, you don't want to be decent, do you need me to help you?" Shi Yuanji said in a gloomy tone.

In Dugu Xin's eyes, Shi Yuanji at this time was as unfathomable as the Emperor of Heavenly Mandate sitting on the dragon chair. He regretted that he was too naΓ―ve, that he had delusionally belonged to his own faction, but that he had underestimated the strength of his enemies.

"You're right, this is your life-and-death struggle, I'd better die. ”

With that, he covered his forehead, strengthened his hands, and was about to kill himself.

Shi Yuanji looked at Dugu Xin silently, and the beggar soldiers around him looked at each other, not knowing for a moment whether to stop Dugu Xin, and then remove his legs, or let him die.

Of course, since Shi Yuanji was motionless, the beggar army present did not move, just quietly watched everything.

Dugu Xin's palm stopped on his forehead for a long time, but he still couldn't get his hands down, he hung his hands decadently, knelt on the spot, his body couldn't stop trembling, and he was choking and crying.

"I should have guessed that people like you are lustful after all, and it seems that you still want me to help you be decent. Shi Yuanji said helplessly and disdainfully.

After hearing this, Dugu Xin begged for mercy in horror: "No, no, I can also serve in the beggar army, I can ...... Ahh

With a miserable scream, Shi Yuanji didn't say a word, he cut off one of Dugu Xin's calves alive, and then threw the bloody calf in front of the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny.

Dugu Xin's eyes widened, and he was in a cold sweat because of the pain, and struggled to crawl out of the main hall.

Shi Yuanji wouldn't spare him, rushed behind him, grabbed the other leg, and pulled the other calf off with an expressionless face.

Then, Shi Yuanji lifted Dugu Xin like a worn-out mess of clothes and threw it out of the main hall.
