Chapter 266: Acacia
After P> returned to the capital, Xiao Wanyao wanted to take the snow to meet Zhenling, but was rejected by the snow. She wanted to see Zhenhao as much as possible, and as for Zhenling, she said, "I don't know how to face her." Maybe she doesn't want to see me now, after all, I was one of them when they hunted them down. β
P> Xiao Wanyao didn't say much about this matter, but just told sΓΉ Zhenling that the snow was back, and she wanted to let her go. Zhenling was also very indifferent, and did not mention that he wanted to see her. So she didn't force it either.
>On this day, Xiao Wanyao came to the place where Zhenhao was held alone, Zhenhao didn't know the news outside, and he didn't know about the killing of Mingjun. He still had a cold attitude and ignored Xiao Wanyao.
P> she asked the others to go out, sat down on the chair herself, and asked someone to prepare a pot of wine and a plate of good food and put them in front of Zhenhao.
P> Zhenhao opened his eyes, glanced at the jar of wine in front of him, and chuckled, "Xiao Wanyao, don't you just want to use this to buy me." β
P> she laughed too, "How could I be, how could I think I could buy you with this little thing." I'm just helping you get ready, and maybe you'll want to have some wine when I'm done. Think about my mention. β
P> Zhenhao sat down, his hands on his knees, and stared at Xiao Wanyao with a tough attitude, "Let's talk about it, I'll listen to you." β
P> "Mingjun wants to rebel and snatch 400,000 talismans from Lei Luo, you know this. And I've already got the 400,000 talismans from Mingjun......"
P> Xiao Wanyao said this, and was stopped by Zhenhao, "How do I know if your talisman is real, in case you did it on purpose, you want to hear any news from me." β
P> "Good idea! Xiao Wanyao nodded, "I used to think so." But I didn't do it, because this is not my Xiao Wanyao's usual method, and I don't think you will believe it if you do it. What I want to tell you is that Mingjun is dead, with nearly a hundred lives under his command, and you can not believe this......"
P> Zhenhao snorted coldly, and just as he was staring at Xiao Wanyao contemptuously, suddenly the door was opened, and Xue appeared in men's clothes in front of Zhenhao, and he stood up suddenly, "Xue, why are you here?" β
P > Xue looked at Zhenhao with a sad face, he was in a mess, his hands and feet were shackled, and the unbeatable, wise and martial Zhenhao in the past was completely different, "Zhenhao, I'm fine!" It's just that...... Mingjun is really dead. Our plan failed. I'm ...... now."
P> Xiao Wanyao waved her hand, and the attendant behind the snow took her out, and then closed the door again.
P > Zhenhao sat there in shock, Xiao Wanyao didn't speak, and waited for him to come back to his senses before she met his eyes, her eyes flashed with victory, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, "How are you thinking about it?" Now that the famous monarch is dead, the mandate of heaven is in the prison of the palace, you can't protect yourself, who will protect the snow? Originally, she was supposed to be beheaded with Mingjun......"
P> Zhenhao hesitated for a moment, "What do you want me to do?" β
>Seeing that he finally relented, Xiao Wanyao smiled clearly, "For my life, I let it snow." Make sure she's safe, or else you won't want to leave alive in my hands. β
P> "Serve you?" Zhenhao was a little incredulous, "What can we do for you?" β
P> "Don't forget, you're the killers of Seifuen, and there's still a lot more you can do. Qingfeng Yuan is gone, but I need another killer organization. Xiao Wanyao got up slowly, "You can think about it, but I only have one day of patience." This time I had the final say. I can ask for you, or I can choose not. β
After P> finished speaking, Xiao Wanyao was about to leave, "Wait a minute! Zhenhao called out to her.
P> Xiao Wanyao stood up and looked back at him, "Think about it now?" β
P> "There is one thing that you may not know now, and I am afraid that if you do, you will not want me to serve you." Zhenhao said.
P> Xiao Wanyao paused slightly, stared at him, her eyes sank, and she could tell from Zhenhao's tone that it must not be a good thing.
P> Zhenhao continued, "I killed your father!" At the beginning, Mingjun was ordered by Guo Ping, and Guo Ping sent us to kill your father. β
P> Xiao Wanyao stood there in a daze, her face changed greatly, her slightly trembling lips were almost speechless, "How, how is it possible!" Guo Ping and my father have no grudges, how could they kill him? What the hell is going on? β
P > Zhenhao took a deep breath, when he killed Xiao Man, he went with Xuexue, but now he wants to take this matter alone, so that Xiao Wanyao has a reason to kill herself, and Xue will no longer be her hostage.
P> "When Tang Siqi was in power, your father had a connection with Guo Ping, and many times it was your father who sold the news of Wei to Guo Ping, so that Guo Ping could profit from it. At that time, when Tang Siqi began to investigate your father, he had already found out some eyebrows, and when he was about to find out about Guo Ping, he chose to kill people and kill him, after all, it would not be good for him to ascend the throne if this kind of thing was spread. Zhenhao told the truth of the year.
P> Xiao Wanyao sat down on the chair for a long time before coming back to her senses, "What did you say...... It's all true? Is it really Guo Ping who asked you to kill my father? β
P> "Yes, it's him. Although he has a deep affection for you, the country is the most important thing to him. Zhenhao chuckled, "It's just that what you want now is his country." Don't you already have the power of his 400,000 troops? β
P> Xiao Wanyao sneered, with endless sarcasm, "It seems that I have taken the right step this step." Then, her eyes were filled with hatred.
P> Because of this incident, Zhenhao did not get his freedom, and the snow was also monitored. She needs to reimagine her future and plan what to do next. Some people, only after making them pay the price, do they know that there are things that should not be done.
P> Wei Imperial Palace
P> Early this morning, Xue Tianao was urged by the ministers to choose a concubine. He has done his best to postpone the selection of concubines, but in the end he still can't escape. Under the persuasion of the ministers, and under the threat of Jiangshan Sheji, he finally agreed to the matter of choosing a concubine.
P>Although Gong Qing cared about Xue Tianao very much, she knew that once he ascended the throne and became the emperor, three thousand beauties in the harem would be a must, so she didn't react much, and this incident undoubtedly gave her an opportunity to install herself in the harem. Those beauties who secretly came from Yan Country finally came in handy.
P> is the same as the previous palace drafts, the women selected are the daughters of the ministers of the court, as long as they have reached a certain age and have good looks, they can participate in the palace draft. Some people will be screened out in the process, after all, the concubines in the harem are better people with both ability and integrity. If you don't have much talent and good conduct, you won't be eliminated if you are good-looking.
P> After several rounds of competition, An Xiaoluo, the daughter of the Ministry of Rites, An Qing, stood out. She is not only outstanding in appearance, articulate, but also has a good family background, which can be described as the kind of person who has both talent and learning. On the contrary, the few people arranged by Gong Qing were all average, but fortunately they were not eliminated.
P> Gongqing also noticed this An Xiaoluo, and Xue Tianao naturally knew some about this person. So when the little masters were sleeping, Xue Tianao preferred this woman named An Xiaoluo.
P> that night Xue Tianao reviewed the memora for a long time in the imperial study, and the chief eunuch urged him many times, and Xue Tianao finally put down his pen and couldn't help sighing, some things should always be faced.
P> Xue Tianao came to the emperor's bedroom surrounded by everyone, and slowly walked in, An Xiaoluo was already lying on the dragon bed, naked on his body, only covered with a thin layer of silk veil. Through the silk veil, you can see the concave and convex outline of her body, how human.
P> However, after he entered, he only turned around and closed the door with his own hands, but stood at the door and did not enter for a long time. It wasn't until An Xiaoluo called out to him in a coquettish voice that he turned around and walked towards the dragon bed.
P> "Your Majesty, the concubine has been waiting for you for a long time!" An Xiaoluo's voice was soft, looking at the man sitting down on the dragon bed, but he hadn't looked at her since he entered the door.
P> she tried her best to please Xue Tianao, sat up slowly, and the thin veil on her body slipped off immediately, but she lamented heavily, "Life is not a woman's body, and a hundred years of bitterness and happiness are left to others." β
P > Xue Tianao couldn't help but turn his head to look at her, but stared straight into her eyes, "What do you mean by this?" β
P> "Your Majesty, you haven't looked at your concubines since you came in, and when you see the emperor with lovesickness in his eyes, you must be thinking about her in your heart, but at such a time, you think of the old people, presumably the emperor wants but can't get it." An Xiaoluo said softly.
P> Xue Tianao didn't expect that she would be able to know his thoughts just by looking at him a few more times, and couldn't help but have a trace of interest in her, "Why do you say that?" β
P> "With a person like the emperor, what kind of woman can't get it." But there are people who don't like the life of this palace and the restraints here. An Xiaoluo tilted his head and said, his eyes a little sad.
P> Xue Tianao noticed her eyes, which were very beautiful, tilted her head slightly, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a flattering smile, but there was a hint of reluctance on her face, "It seems that you are also a person who doesn't like life in the palace, so why come here." β
P> An Xiaoluo lowered his head slightly, chuckled, and his voice echoed in the huge dormitory, with a touch of sarcasm, "Whoever makes the concubine just a female streamer, people like us are often difficult to control their own destiny, and the joys and sorrows depend on others." If one day, the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of the concubine are not controlled, and the concubine can exchange it for one qiΔ. β
P > Xue Tianao was slightly stunned, although the person talking in front of her was An Xiaoluo, but as if she was in the dark, she was talking about her thoughts. Speaking of her thoughts, Xiao Wanyao rejected herself at the beginning, wasn't it also because of such reasons?
P> his whole person fell into contemplation, and the beauty in front of him didn't seem to impress him at all, Xiao Wanyao. That's the woman he's willing to pay a qiΔ in exchange. It's just that he doesn't have the courage to admit to her, he doesn't have the courage to really let go of YiqiΔ, and he doesn't know Xiao Wanyao more and more. Less and less sure what exactly she wants. He was afraid that when he let go of a qiΔ, nothing would change the outcome. Instead, she will be ridiculed.
P>Just when Xue Tianao was thinking about Xiao Wanyao, a dagger in the beauty's hand slowly approached him, and her gaze darkened deeply. Just as she raised her dagger and stabbed at him, a hand grabbed her steadily, and Xue Tianao snorted coldly, "I, I almost believed what you said just now, and almost began to pity you, but it's a pity that your trick is just a child's play in front of me." From the first time I saw you, I knew I wanted to kill me. β
P>An Xiaoluo struggled hard, but she was not Xue Tianao's opponent after all, the dagger was taken away by him, and her whole body was thrown heavily on the bed. He stood up, his back to her, and his hands folded, "Get dressed!" Before I call the outside in, you'd better find a good reason to convince me not to kill you. β
P>Chapter 267: Resistance
P> An Xiaoluo had no room for resistance, and she didn't think that she would leave alive, after getting dressed, she came to the outer hall, Xue Tianao sat on the chair safely, and her eyes didn't look at her. She stepped forward and stared at him coldly, "If you want to kill or kill you!" I will never intercede with you. β
P> Xue Tianao put down the teacup in his hand, the indescribable nobility between his eyebrows, a dragon robe set off his otherworldliness, and his super beautiful face made him even more untouchable, his eyes raised and fell on An Xiaoluo, she lowered her head slightly, not daring to look at him directly.
P > saw that she was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and her appearance was delicate and lovely, she originally thought that she would have some special identity, but when Xue Tianao saw her holding her hands tightly in front of her chest, pursing her lips vigorously, and even trembling slightly, she knew that she must have a last resort.
P> "Tell me, what made you want to kill me?" Xue Tianao asked.
P>An Xiaoluo looked up at him, "You faint king, you killed my family and arrested all the people in our cottage." β
P> Xue Tianao was a little interested in her words, but in his impression, there seemed to be no such enemy. He was silent for a moment and asked, "How did you get into the palace?" And what evidence is there that I killed your family? And who your family is, I don't know. β
P>An Xiaoluo took a deep breath, glared at Xue Tianao angrily and shouted, "Qingfeng Village, you should always know, right?" Not only did you kill them, but you also said that they were bandits, that they killed your people, so you killed my parents, and took my brother and all the people in the village, do you dare to say that you didn't do it? β
P>Qingfeng Village, this name sounded a little familiar, and suddenly, Xue Tianao remembered what was going on. When Xiao Wanrou took licorice to incense Xiao Man, she was intercepted by the bandits of Qingfeng Village on the road, killed licorice, and many guards, and injured Xiao Wanrou.
P > arrested the owner of Qingfeng Village at the beginning, and he has already admitted that he did it. How did a vengeful woman pop up here?
P> "Are you?" Xue Tianao narrowed his beautiful eyes slightly and asked.
P>An Xiaoluo put away her nervousness, "My name is Qimo, not the daughter of the Ministry of Rites, I originally entered the palace as her maid, but she was unwell and couldn't participate in the draft halfway, so I impersonated her." β
P> Xue Tianao took over, "Just to kill me?" Then do you know how many people your parents, that is, the owners and couples of Qingfeng Village, have killed many people in the court, and I am missing a very important person. Murder pays for life. He snapped.
P > Qimo bit her lower lip slightly, her eyes were full of tears, she looked very scared, but she was still standing here strongly, confronting him. Such a woman, he inexplicably has an interest.
P> "No! Qimo finally cried and shouted, "My parents are not like that, they don't want to kill people intentionally. They were kind and very nice to the people in our village. It's also very good to the people around you, they're not bandits, it's you who slander them. β
P> Xue Tianao frowned, her crying was getting louder and louder, and there was a situation that was out of control. He still had something to ask her, but she didn't seem to stop crying, which made him frown, and when he saw Qimo like this, he also had a trace of doubt in his heart, but she kept crying, and he couldn't ask more things from her mouth.
P > simply, turned around and left, and locked her in the emperor's bedroom. Let people guard her, and don't allow her to leave half a step.
P> Xue Tianao summoned Fei Mo overnight and asked him to investigate the matter of Qingfeng Village, and he must find out what is going on. Later, he used this as an excuse to put aside the new little masters in the harem. Postpone bedtime.
P> Wei country, the territory of Mingyu.
P> Because of what has happened all along, the Wei dynasty has ignored the affairs of Jiangnan. Mingyu also took this opportunity to recuperate here, develop production and train the army, and reform the military and political system. Jiangnan is more prosperous than before, and the forces in Mingyu's hands are gradually becoming stronger.
>On this day, Xiao Shuxian found Mingyu and said with great interest, "Brother Mingyu, I am nineteen years old this year, and I want to go out to fight with you." β
P> Mingyu was looking at the book of soldiers in the study, and recently received news from Jiangbei that Xue Tianao intended to recover the land belonging to Wei in Jiangnan. It is likely that there will be a big war in the near future, so he should be prepared in advance.
P> he put down the book in his hand and smiled, "Shuxian, you are still young!" It's not suitable for the battlefield, and there are no eyes on the battlefield, if you have any accidents, how can I explain to your sister. β
P> Xiao Shuxian crossed his hands on his hips and pouted, "I know, it's not because I'm young at all, I've been practicing martial arts in the past few years, and I've made great progress in martial arts, and I've also read a lot of military books, so there's no problem at all." The reason why you didn't let me go to the battlefield was because of Sister Wan Yao, she didn't let you do it. β
P > Mingyu still has to say something, Xiao Shuxian waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I know that you are obedient to my sister, you will do whatever she says, it is useless for me to say anything." I'm not going! I won't bother you anymore. With that, he turned around and left.
P> Mingyu shook his head helplessly, chuckled, and just as Xiao Shuxian left, a guard outside replied, "General Qiyu, someone outside asked to see him, saying that he was from Chu State, and he brought a letter." β
P > Mingyu paused slightly, there should be only Xiao Wanyao from Chu State. He immediately walked down from the table, took the letter from the guard's hand, opened it, and his face became more and more heavy, "Bring them in." β
P> the guard left, and soon the people outside were brought in, "Subordinates, see General Mingyu." β
P> "Get up, I've already read the contents of the letter......" Mingyu paused slightly, he didn't expect Zhentian to be killed, he didn't even see him for the last time, "Do you know who Zhentian was killed?" β
P> several people glanced at each other, "The subordinates don't know, the eldest lady just asked the subordinates to sue General SΓΉ Mingyu, she will definitely not let this person go." And this is what the Quarry asked us to give you. β
P> Mingyu took a small package in their hands, opened it and saw that it contained a set of clothes and some belongings that Zhentian was carrying, he frowned tightly, turned around, and didn't let them see his expression.
After > silence for a moment, he nodded and asked, "What about Mingjun?" β
P>"It's still in the carriage, and the man has woken up!" It's just that according to the request of the eldest lady, he broke his tendons, and now he is just a waste. The person said.
P> Mingyu took a deep breath, his face was solemn, he didn't expect that they were all killers of Qingfeng Yuan before, and today they would come to such a point, "The road is far away, you must be all tired, let's go rest first." I'll send someone to find you if there's something. Just leave it to me. β
P> a few people nodded and left, and Mingyu glanced at the letter again. Closing his eyes slightly, thinking about knowing Zhentian for so many years, in the end he still did not escape the fate of a killer. Although there is some pity in my heart, there is not much sadness, they are killers, and being killed is the fate of killers after all.
P> he didn't think much about it, turned around and walked outside, the carriage was still parked at the door, he lifted the curtain and sat in the car, his eyes were closed, Mingyu glanced at his broken hands and ankles, did not speak, put down the curtain, and took the reins from the coachman's hand, "Go back, this person can be handed over to me!" β
After P> Mingyu got into the carriage, and left Dingzhou City with the carriage alone, and came to a mountain on the outskirts, where the scenery was beautiful and the scenery was pleasant. After that, Mingyu jumped out of the carriage, tied the reins to a tree, and lifted the curtain, "Can you walk by yourself?" β
P> Mingjun slowly opened his eyes and chuckled, "Why is it also this life, why bother so much?" Kill me here, it's a hundred. β
P> Mingyu frowned, noticing that Mingjun couldn't move at all, he got into the car and carried him off, and slowly walked down the mountain road, "Remember?" One time I went on a mission and was so injured that I almost died. It was you who didn't care about your own safety, so you carried me on your back and rushed back to Qingfeng Yuan step by step. You helped me get my life back. Mingyu lowered his head and said as he climbed up the stairs.
P > Mingjun snorted lightly, "Of course I remember, I saved you behind your back back then, and now you want to kill me behind my back." β
P> Mingyu didn't speak, walked towards the mountain step by step, and finally stopped at a cliff, found a stone for Mingyu to sit on, and tidied up his clothes a little, the surrounding scenery is beautiful, not far away you can also see the waterfall pouring down, all kinds of wild flowers blooming on the cliff, and even a faint fragrance can be smelled.
P> It's just that Mingjun noticed that there was an unknown tombstone not far from the cliff, and Mingyu saw Mingjun staring at the tombstone, and he said, "That's Tianyu's clothed mound." β
P> "You brought me here to kill me here?" Mingjun sneered.
P> Mingyu didn't speak, and took the small package from his back, which Zhenling asked people to bring to Mingyu, although he didn't say anything, but Mingyu knew what she meant, he looked at the things in the package and took a deep breath, "Once when Qingfeng Yuan was disbanded due to the failure of the plan, I, Zhentian, Zhenling, and Tianyu also thought about it for a long time before deciding to leave you. But I didn't expect you to kill us. There was a touch of hatred in his eyes, and he stared at Mingjun deadly.
P> "We are killers by nature, and everyone knows in their hearts what kind of destiny they will be. None of us expected that we would be safe in our old age, and when we escaped from your pursuit, we found this beautiful place, and the four of us agreed that no matter where or why we died in the future, the four of us will be buried here in the future. β
As > said, Mingyu walked to the side of the blank tombstone, stepped on it with his foot, and a square pit appeared, he took out a trimmed tombstone inside, set it up in front of the pit, wrapped the clothes of the earthquake and buried it in the pit, and then slowly filled it with soil.
P> it took him more than half an hour to get the tombstone of the earthquake in place. During this time, Mingjun had been sitting on that stone, quietly watching him. Inexplicably, his gaze became confused and calm.
P> Mingyu stood in front of the tombstone of the earth-shattering, "It's all just a mound of clothes!" The breeze blew by, lifting his clothes, ruffling his long hair, and confusing his eyes, but when he turned to face Mingjun, his eyes were extremely determined, "I know that killers shouldn't look forward to the future. But if you don't say something, it doesn't mean that you don't have zΓ i. β
