Chapter 40: Sowing Discord
"What do you want?" Wu Mei trembled slightly, followed by stiffness and numbness. Since he used such a tone, there was no need for her to pretend to be virtuous anymore. Thinking about it, he withdrew the hand he was holding with a stiff face, and said lightly: "It's gone." What I want, you can't give it to me. β
For example, everything that a husband should give.
Li Zhi thought that she was talking about the throne, but he felt his weakness and powerlessness, and he choked up and said: "If you want the country, take it." Just don't give it to people who shouldn't be, don't let Li Tang Jiangshan change his surname in my hands. β
Wu Mei looked at his crying face, there were some differences, why was she attracted by the fragility he revealed?
He was like a jewel, shining from afar, full of cracks up close, shattered by a little pressure.
She didn't want to stay any longer. This dreary room is like a golden coffin, she can't be buried with her, she has to come out alive. She got up, didn't look at him again, and walked out of the house quickly.
There didn't seem to be a sound in my heart, but it seemed like a mess. She walked faster and faster, and the eunuchs and palace maids had to trot.
"Get out! Get out of here! As soon as she rushed into the Penglai Palace, she yelled, and the palace people in charge understood her temper, and retreated in panic one by one. She was running around the huge palace in total darkness, and a name hit her lips and she didn't dare to shout it.
A pair of miserable white hands stretched out from the darkness and wrapped around her waist, and a cold voice sounded in her ears, "Are you looking for me?" β
Wu Mei turned around to face him in horror, his face was calm and upright, and she didn't panic after looking at it.
When he saw her expression, he suddenly felt a small warm current pass through her heart, which was probably called "being needed". It's a need from the heart.
So a faint tenderness appeared on his face, and he said in a beautiful voice like a pearl: "It just so happens that I am looking for you too." β
Wu Mei nervously tugged at his shirt, "Looking for me?" What's the matter? Are you going to leave? β
He brushed her face with the back of his finger, "Yes, I'm going to find Tang Ying......" Before he finished speaking, Wu Mei suddenly screamed excitedly, "Tang Ying, Tang Ying is everything, you have to find her!" The emperor is looking for her, my son is looking for her, Li Chunfeng is looking for her, and you are looking for her to this day! What is there about her to make you swoon! All of them will leave me! β
Ming Chongyan hugged her tightly in his arms with a strong arm. Is this what is called a woman's friendship? He also thought that Wu Mei's trust and love for Tang Ying was indestructible, but according to now, Wu Mei had already expressed her attitude without him provoking. A woman's jealousy is really the best catalyst for cannibalism.
He was in a good mood, and coaxed Wu Mei softly, "Fool, I said that I was going to find her, just to avenge you!" β
Wu Mei blinked, "You, are you going to kill her?" β
Ming Chongyan nodded, and could see that she was hesitant, so he took the opportunity to say: "She ruined this abdication, you won't be ignorant, right?" β
Wu Mei couldn't believe it, "How come?" She has always supported me, and she helped me become a queen. What's more, she has never been familiar with government politics, how can she influence the will of these old stubborn people? β
Ming Chongyan smiled and said, "How can a dignified queen be so naΓ―ve? She's attached to you just to build her network and power, and that's why not point the finger at you? β
Wu Mei was dumbfounded, after he misled like this, there were really many suspicious places. The reason why she trusted Tang Ying was because she never asked for a title. But if you think about it carefully, even if she doesn't have a title, doesn't she still hold the emperor's heart tightly?
Ming Chongyan was satisfied to appreciate the change in her expression, and added at the right time, "What's more, she still has such a beauty." β
That's right, beauty. Wu Mei remembered what she had emphasized to Tang Ying many times, that she had the most powerful weapon of a woman, that is, the appearance of the Alluring City that had almost no traces of time.
Wu Mei's eyes widened, and her head turned mechanically to Ming Chongyan. He knew that he had moved her, and hurriedly took her by the arm and helped her to the bed.
Wu Mei still did not recover from the shock, Tang Ying was definitely the biggest opponent in her life, she had both the emperor's favor, the power of the ministers, and the powerful mana and almost magical prediction ability. Indeed, to this day, it is simply easy for her to replace herself. But why hasn't she shown any traces? Is it because Li Chunfeng is dead? Or is it because she reuses Ming Chongyan that makes her feel threatened?
Wu Mei's head was in a mess, and she hugged Ming Chongyan in a panic and asked, "What should I do?" Save me! β
"Shh Ming Chongyan pressed his lips to her cheek, "Don't worry, you still have me." β
"You'll help me figure it out, won't you?" Wu Mei clutched him tightly. Ming Chongyan nodded and covered her eyes with her hand, she felt a chill and an exciting killing intent.
"Chongyan?" She felt the wetness in her eyelids, and touched her hand, which his hand had already taken away. Hurriedly opened her eyes, only to find that there was only a wet mist in the darkness, and Ming Chongyan had already left.
After Tang Ying and Di Renjie joined up with the demon team, they began to methodically break through the rest of Ming Chongyan's division around Chang'an one by one. Includes numerous armies of Mochizuki bookworms and puppets. The team of demon slaying is growing, and under the call of Qingyun, more and more worldly masters join them.
Di Renjie fully demonstrated his management skills, divided these warlocks into groups according to their sects and specialties, and recommended people with both ability and political integrity to be the team leaders, and everyone was convinced.
Although there have been frequent good news recently, Tang Ying's expression has become more and more serious. They followed the guidance of the demon general to a mountain forest where the general was stationed, but only killed a few bookworms. Wuwei Dao Chang thought that the evil spirit general was deliberately cheating, and shouted to reward him for scattering his soul, but was stopped by Tang Ying.
Tang Ying told everyone to rest in place, and took Di Renjie and Qingyun to the deeper mountains and forests to find clues.
Bai Qi followed the former dead qi in the dense forest, Di Renjie analyzed: "It seems that there is indeed an evil spirit army here. It's just that I don't know why they left. β
Tang Ying stopped and said, "It's no secret that we are slaughtering demons on a large scale, maybe Ming Chongyan wants to mobilize the rest of the tribe together?" So as not to be consumed by us in advance? β
Qingyun nodded approvingly, "It makes sense, this demon is finally scared." Di Renjie said worriedly: "I don't think things are so optimistic." Imagine when he didn't have time to take care of the rest, and we didn't have time to pounce. Now that there are fewer and fewer strongholds left, it is easier for him to predict our movements. β
Qingyun snorted, "So, did the monsters here withdraw in advance?" β
Tang Ying said suspiciously: "That must not have been gone for long, otherwise the death qi should not be so strong...... she suddenly shouted, "Not good!" We've got the trick of diverting the tiger from the mountain! β
When the other two heard this, they hurriedly grabbed their weapons and prepared to turn around and go back. Who knew that at this time, the dead qi that was chased by Tang Ying's anger suddenly grew like bamboo after the rain, and rushed to Tang Ying's side in turn. They were clearly walking in the jungle, and the dead air under their feet was almost like stepping into a muddy mire.
"Beware of illusions, everyone!" Tang Ying said as he silently recited the Heart Purifying Mantra. Qingyun reacted quickly, and was trapped in the maze, so he naturally started to defend early.
Di Renjie was not a cultivator, and his reaction was a beat slower. Suddenly, a flower saw a black vortex spinning under his feet, and he was about to swallow him. He felt that his limbs were no longer moving, and that he might suffocate himself if he continued like this. Suddenly, he thought of the white fire of Tang Ying in his body, and quickly bit the tip of his tongue and spurted out a mouthful of blood. As soon as the blood with the glowing white light fell into the whirlpool, a huge hole corroded out, and he saw Tang Ying's face in the hole, and also saw the white fire she shot over. His eyes were fixed on the flames, watching the white flames cut through the black vortex like a sharp blade, rushing towards him, three meters, two meters, he saw the opportunity, and crashed into the flames the moment the white flames approached!
Bumping, as if rushing into some stuffy gas, he somersaulted forward, and when he stood firm again, he was back in the ordinary jungle.
