Chapter 217: Lan Yu is in trouble
In the early morning of October 3, the day did not come as promised, and it entered the polar night. Panicked people chose to stay at home and pray behind closed doors, hoping that the darkness would pass as soon as possible.
Ordinary people can't afford expensive oil lamps, so they can only burn a few dry firewood under the stove to dispel the fear in their hearts and wait for the light to come.
And in the palace where the moon came, it was always brightly lit, as if it were day. It's not that they had expected the coming of the polar night, but that Empress Xuan Yao died suddenly the night before, and the entire palace fell into great grief.
Empress Xuan Yao was still young, she had just given birth to a prince a few months ago, and she was deeply favored and honored by Lan Li, how could she suddenly die violently? Regarding the cause of her death, the palace has been tight-lipped and hidden.
An hour ago, Empress Xuanyao's bedroom was surrounded by a large number of soldiers, and it was extremely heavily guarded. There was a solemn atmosphere throughout the palace, and it didn't look like a funeral at all.
On the bed, Xuan Yao was lying there naked, her eyes wide, obviously blind.
Lan Li held a crying baby in his arms, and slowly pulled out the long sword that pierced Xuan Yao's heart, and the regret in his eyes flashed.
"Lan Li, why!"
Lan Yu roared and wanted to break in front of him, but was kicked to the ground by several fierce soldiers, at this time his face was flushed, his clothes were not covered, and he still had the appearance of an elegant general.
Lan Li sneered: "She committed adultery with you, of course I have to kill her."
Lan Yu said angrily: "If you want to kill me, why use such clumsy means to plant the stigma on her, she is innocent!"
Lan Li took out the dagger and gently teased the crying baby in his arms, and after a while the child let out a giggle laugh: "Look, what a heartless little guy."
"What the hell do you want?"
"Since you don't want to admit it, I have no choice but to send this evil seed to his mother."
"He's your child! I personally went to the Underworld with you to pick up my relatives, so many years of love between you and Xuan Yao, and brotherhood with me, are all fake!"
Lan Li was slightly stunned, and then laughed and said: "How can I have a brotherly relationship with you, a wild species, when Gongsun Qi slaughtered most of my royal family, if I don't fake friendship with you, how can I escape his poisonous hands?"
"Every time I think of being a brother to a eunuch like you, I feel disgusted!"
Lan Yu looked at Lan Li, who had a hideous face, and gave up the last hope of persuasion, but calmed down: "What about Xuan Yao, he has been gentle and frugal all these years, how can you do it?"
"At that time, Yuexi was the weakest among all the nations, and if I did not marry the Stygian Water, how could I sit on the throne. To tell you the truth, I have never loved her, and the most hateful thing is that she has always been obsessed with you, a eunuch, how can I not hate!"
"Your prestige in the army is extremely high, and it is really difficult to kill you without a valid reason!
"It's really painstaking" Lan Yu grinned, suddenly laughed, and kept laughing out of tears: "It turns out that the friendship and warmth I expected are just a dream."
After laughing for a long time, Lan Yu said coldly: "This is not the only reason why you want to kill me, otherwise you would have done it a long time ago."
Lan Li looked at him indifferently: "Originally, I wasn't in a hurry to kill you, but you and the Great Chu Alliance are too close! Tomorrow will be its end, so until then I must get rid of your potential danger."
"Okay, okay, then I'll understand. Lan Yu was calm and terrifying: "Can you accompany me to drink a bowl of broken friendship wine before you die, after this life's grievances, I don't want to meet you again in the next life!"
"That's what the widow wants!" Lan Li shouted: "Come on, serve wine!"
Lan Li took the lead in drinking it all: "After drinking and confessing your sins, please go on the road with peace of mind!"
Lan Yu took the wine bowl, drank it in the same gulp, and then smashed the wine bowl suddenly: "Lan Li, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"What did you say?"
Lan Li's face changed suddenly, and then he heard the sound of fierce fighting outside, and after a while, a large number of soldiers from the Blue Feather Battalion came in.
Lan Li said coldly: "It turns out that you have been prepared!"
Lan Yu glanced sadly at the cold corpse on the bed: "But I still didn't expect you to be so decisive."
He then drew his sword and stepped forward, forcing Lan Li into a corner, and at the same time the sharp blade of the sword resisted the dagger in his hand that stabbed at the baby.
The next moment, the sword blade pierced Lan Li's heart, and no matter how merciful he was, Lan Li finally showed a panicked look and shouted loudly: "Help me!"
Suddenly, a black shadow magically appeared on Lan Li's side, easily blocking Lan Yu's killing sword.
As soon as this person appeared, Lan Yu felt an aura of extreme danger. He stared coldly at the grim face, "You made this fool change his mind and choose to break the covenant?"
Tiandao shook his head: "I just told him not to be afraid of that woman, I have never interfered with his decision from beginning to end."
Lan Yu looked at him vigilantly: "Who are you and why did you do this?"
Tiandao said leisurely: "In order to protect the order of the world, the emperor and the generals are all determined by the mandate of heaven, how can you let the Chu League mess up the world!"
"On the contrary, as a subordinate, you are indifferent to the threat of your own king, do not share the worries of the king, and do not think about your family, country and society, is this the justice in your heart?"
The enchanting power of the Heavenly Dao made Lan Yu's face a little pale for a moment, and Lan Yu bit the root of his tongue before he came to his senses. Tiandao snorted lightly, obviously a little unexpected.
There should be no one in the Creation Realm who can resist his soul dementorship. He didn't know that Chu Feiyan had injected vigorous vitality into his body in order to save Lan Yu before, and there was no lack of a large amount of origin spiritual power, so that he could withstand his invisible soul attack.
Lan Yu pointed to the corpse on the bed and the baby who was waiting to be fed: "What will I do to protect her in such a country!"
Then he shouted: "Where is Lan Yu's camp!"
"The subordinates are here!"
"Kill this demon!"
Tiandao smiled slightly, waved his sleeve robe, and in an instant, the pupils of everyone in the Lan Yu camp above the main hall turned a strange brown and yellow, and they began to attack Lan Yu.
After a stick of incense, because he couldn't bear to kill his companions, Lan Yu had been severely injured in many parts of his body, bleeding nonstop, and it seemed that only a matter of time was left for the arrival of death.
Looking at those companions who became strange and emotionless in an instant, the chill from the bottom of his heart made Lan Yu refuse to fall down, no matter what, he had to live, at least bring the news back to the Wolf Wasteland.
Lan Li looked at Lan Yu, who was dying, and finally put his mind at ease, and said with a smug smile: "If you are willing to submit, I can consider letting you live." ”
Lan Yu stood up tremblingly, and then straightened his spine: "Lao Tzu is different from you, Lao Tzu is a man, a man with a handle!"
"That's it. ”
With a wave of Heavenly Dao's hand, the lights of the entire palace were extinguished, and everything returned to darkness.
