Chapter 23: Countdown to Death (1)
March 8, 731 in the Ming Dynasty.
There are still seven days left before Ling Yun's execution.
Longze Palace.
"Thinking about it, I, Long Ze, should not be so depressed that I need other countries to help us maintain order. "Jing didn't even raise his head in the city.
"Your Majesty, you have to think it through. News has already come from the four righteous sects that the evil spirits have suddenly marched on a large scale towards Longze, and the target seems to be pointing at Renyan City. Although it is not known what their intentions are, given that the evil spirits have a history of assassinating members of the royal family, the Demon Punishment Alliance has to guard against it. The envoy spoke earnestly.
"The Righteous Alliance can come, but you can't come. Jing Liancheng said lightly, "Xia and Haoyue inevitably don't take us seriously, a few generals with tens of thousands of troops want to come to my Longze capital to station, isn't it a bit too whimsical?"
"Please also rest assured, Your Majesty, the armies of the two countries will not enter the territory of Longze, they will stop at the border of Haoyue, this is just a trick left by the Demon Punishment Alliance in case of accidents. ”
"What kind of move?" Jing Liancheng sneered, "In case Lone dies, why don't you take the opportunity to send an army into control in the name of the Demon Punishment Alliance, and control Long Ze by supporting the new emperor?"
"Your Majesty is too worried, we have no intention of doing so. ”
"Alright, I've heard enough. Jing Liancheng said impatiently, "Go back and tell your emperor that the people of the Decent General Alliance will never stop you, but you generals of Haoyue and Xia will never want to step into the territory of Longze!"
“...... Be. ”
The envoy withdrew.
"Please rest assured, as long as the minister is still alive in this world, he will never let the people of the Demon Sect step into the palace!" Si Yangyuehe, the newly appointed head of the marching division, hurriedly stepped forward to show his loyalty.
“...... Wang General Lu Changhe was just transferred to the border not long ago to guard, that is to say, in addition to His Majesty, in the capital, there are only three too junior combat forces of the Yang Lord Division and the two generals of the military. Song Yan, who inherited his father's business, retorted lightly.
"Master Song, you are not deeply involved in the world, so you will naturally regard this evil spirit as a flood beast. Yang Yuehe's tone was vaguely mocking, "I have fought with these so-called Demon Sect people many times at the border pass, but they are just some magic sticks, relying on the enchantment left by the evil emperor in that Blackwater City to survive so far, why be afraid?"
"I'm afraid that the Zhennan Pass where Lord Yang stayed before won't see any real people from the Demon Sect, right?" Song Yan snorted coldly, "Didn't your lord regard the two or three bandits and bandits under the banner of evil spirits as evil spirit knights?"
"You!"
"Okay, okay, don't quarrel with the two of you. Jing Liancheng knocked on his head with a headache, "Master Song is reasonable, no matter what, let's wait for the four decent masters to gather before making plans." ”
“...... Obey the order. Yang Yuehe glared at Song Yan.
And Song Yan didn't even give him a side look as if he didn't see it.
"If it's all right, just step down. Jing Liancheng waved his hand tiredly.
......
Langya Palace.
Jing Yuan was pacing anxiously in the lobby, as if waiting for someone.
"I'm sorry to keep Your Highness waiting. An elegant bass snapped.
"Coming?" Jing Yuan's tone was very serious.
"Introduce yourself, in the lower division of Jin. The man had a decent smile on his face.
"How did you know my identity?" Jing Yuan asked with a frown.
"Your Highness is so smart, can't you guess?" Si Jin smiled slightly.
“...... The fourth key to the Sacred Pool has fallen into your hands?"
"Exactly. Si Jin bowed slightly, "I think Your Highness should have an understanding of our sincerity." ”
"Hmph, do I have any other choice?" Jing Yuan's face was not good-looking.
"Your Highness is wise. However, I think His Highness should know that at least as far as this cooperation is concerned, it will be beneficial to His Highness. Si Jin paused, "Moreover, in the long run, we even have the ability to send His Highness to that supreme position that is admired by all people." ”
"I don't doubt your abilities, but I don't want to use your means. Jing Yuan said coldly.
"Rest assured, we're always adaptable. Si Jin looked back and said, "But His Highness seems to have to deal with the trouble outside first." ”
"Huh. Jing Yuan apparently heard the quarrel outside as well, "Here we go again." ”
......
The capital of the Hazy Moon Kingdom, the Sealed Moon City.
"Gong ...... Your Royal Highness Princess, let's go back first. Linglong wiped the sweat from her head.
"Why do you want to go back?" Anya glanced at her, "It's not that Princess Ben said you, when did you become so bold?
"It's different...... Linglong smiled wryly.
All she could do now was pray silently in her heart that Her Highness would never hear from that person, or else ......
Suddenly, the faint sound of quarrels and cries from the front attracted Anya's attention.
"Let's go, let's see!"
“......”
Linglong sighed and followed.
"Fuck off, don't bother me if you don't have money!"
"Please, doctor, please save my brother, as long as you want, I can do whatever I want him, even if I give you this life, please save him!"
In the crowd, a middle-aged man who looks like a man is tearing something with a teenager.
"I told you, if you don't have any money, get out of here!" Lang Zhong tried to pull his leg out of the boy's arms.
"Doctor, please, please!" the young man had a distinct cross-shaped scar on his forehead, but it was still difficult to hide the beauty between his eyebrows. And beside him, a little boy with a yellow face and thin muscles was lying on the ground dying.
"Poor ghost, stay away from Lao Tzu!" about the number of onlookers increased, and Lang Zhong began to become more and more irritable, and kicked the young man against the wall with a sharp kick.
"It's so unlucky!" Lang Zhong leaned over and patted his trouser leg, turning around to leave.
"Okay, you quack, you can't save yourself like this, I'm really sorry for the layer of human skin on your body!"
“...... Little girl, how can you speak?" Lang Zhong was stunned for a moment, looking at Anya who came out of the crowd, his face was a little ugly.
"No matter how you say it's a human life, you watch a living person die in front of your eyes for a few stinky money, is there a problem with me saying that you are not worthy of being a human being?"
"Little boy, you said it very lightly!" "Do you know what disease that little boy has? It is black worm disease! This disease is almost incurable, and can only be sustained by medicinal soup, I can save him once, the second time, and the third time? Is it possible that I want to treat them for free for a lifetime?"
"Phew, it's shameless for the human-faced beast to make so many excuses for herself!" Anya looked disgusted.
"You say so much, there is a kind of you coming to the rescue?!" Lang Zhong was also angry.
"I'll come, Linglong, bring them back!" Anya waved her hand and left the place with the two of them.
"Look at what!" The Lang Zhong really couldn't stand the pointing and pointing of the people around him, and left angrily.
