167 The King and the Minister

"No one will be ......rare," Shen Yan'er shook her head.

For the sake of Phoenix Ke's crazy decision in the name of "righteousness", Shen Yan'er watched countless young women lose their lives in despair. Just like Ah Zhen, they die without understanding why they died. If they heard Phoenix Ke's answer in the Heavenly Spirit, they didn't know how they would feel.

Moreover, what hurts Shen Yan'er's heart the most is that the death that can only be exchanged for a name on the monument will not end there, and such brutal killings will continue in the future.

There is only one way to save them and put an end to this......

Just tell the secret between yourself and Xiao Hei.

But can you really trust him?

Shen Yan'er stared at Phoenix Ke. His unfathomable eyes shook Shen Yan'er.

"Are you still not going to say it?" Phoenix Ke smiled, seemingly a little disappointed, but he didn't force Shen Yan'er.

Shen Yan'er lowered her head, her heart infinitely entangled. If the truth is telled, what will happen to Xiao Hei and Bao Yin? They are only two people, even if they shed all their blood, how many people can they save? Will their villages, their people, fall into the fate of being hunted again?

"I can't sue you ......" Shen Yan'er shut her mouth when she thought of the measures that Phoenix Ke might take against the Black Blood Clan after knowing the truth. However, she left Phoenix Ke with a glimmer of hope and said, "At least, you can't ...... it now."

I don't have the qualifications to tell this secret. Because it's not his own secret, it's the secret of Xiao Hei and the entire black blood clan. Even if you want to use this secret to save the world, you must get the consent of Xiao Hei and the black blood clan.

"The reason why you put the Emperor under house arrest is because the Emperor doesn't agree with your crazy moves......" Shen Yan'er had gradually sketched in her mind the struggle between the two generations of kings after Phoenix Ke returned to the Phoenix Dynasty two years ago, "In order to monopolize power, you forcefully promoted the study of walking corpses, and even did not hesitate to force the Emperor Taishang to abdicate?" ”

"He abdicated voluntarily." Feng Feng Ke didn't want to say much about what happened, and only answered Shen Yan'er's question with this slightly blunt sentence.

Next, Phoenix Ke told another story about the past.

Long before the exchange of the crown prince, at least ten years ago, An Li Guo had already begun to secretly study the walking corpse. The Phoenix Dynasty also heard some rumors, when the Emperor Taishang was still in power, he once secretly sent a team to sneak into the vicinity of the An Li Army related to the walking corpse to find out information.

Later, after paying a tragic sacrifice, the team finally completed the task and passed on important information about the walking corpse to the Emperor. However, when the Emperor heard about the contagious nature of the horror of the walking dead, he actually issued a terrible secret order.

Ordered all survivors to be buried in a pit.

Those survivors who sacrificed their lives to carry out the mission were buried forever in the desolate Anli border without even stepping a step into the border, and their bones merged with the foreign land.

There was only one reason, because the survivors of that team were all wounded.

At that time, the venom of the walking corpse was not as violent as it is now, and it was possible for the bitten person to survive, but it would become a walking corpse after death. However, in order to prevent future troubles, the Emperor had to make the decision to eliminate them.

Shen Yan'er, who couldn't believe this, choked up and said, "But, they are still alive......"

Shen Yan'er, who has entered the mass grave, knows best that if she wants to survive surrounded by walking corpses, in addition to her excellent martial arts, she must also have a strong desire to survive**.

It was with such a strong desire that the soldiers who had lost their footing and stepped into despair, struggling to survive on the edge of the walking dead hell, must have been very eager to return to their homeland and be reunited with their families.

However, who would have thought that in the end, when they escaped the fangs and claws of the walking corpses, thinking that they could finally be reborn, they were executed by the order of their own king.

In fact, from the moment they were sent out, they were destined to have only this one ending, and no matter how hard they struggled, they couldn't escape the fate of death. Just imagining the despair and misery before their deaths, Shen Yan'er felt so painful that she couldn't even breathe.

Phoenix Ke still said very calmly: "Because the entire Phoenix Dynasty was ignorant of walking corpses at that time, and was full of fear, I can understand my father's decision. If you want to refute, it's best to think about the fate of the Shen family first. If it weren't for the fact that they were infected by the poisoners, how could I have killed them all? If my father hadn't ordered the group of survivors to be buried, perhaps the walking corpse would have erupted among the people. ”

Shen Yan'er had nothing to say. When the topic suddenly turned to the fate of the Shen family, her chest hurt again. "No wonder you asked me if there was anyone from the Shen family from An Li Country......" Shen Yan'er finally understood the truth.

Feng Feng Ke probably suspected that the Shen family was infected by An Liguo's wounded soldiers. However, after listening to the story just now, Shen Yan'er had another guess. She took a deep breath and asked in a low voice, "The leader of that team...... Who is it? ”

Phoenix Ke was stunned, staring at Shen Yan'er suspiciously, not understanding why she cared about this issue. However, after a little hesitation, he still replied: "It's General Zhao Shenzhi." After saying this name, I couldn't help but sigh with great regret. If he hadn't died, how could Wei Zhenhai have his current power......"

Zhao Shenzhi and Wei Zhenhai restrain each other, as soon as Zhao Shenzhi died, Wei Zhenhai became a dominant force, and his power became stronger and stronger, and now it even swelled enough to threaten the throne of Phoenix Ke, so Phoenix Ke sent Yi Xiangxi to secretly lurk beside Wei Zhenhai.

However, Shen Yan'er didn't have the heart to listen to it anymore. When she heard Feng Feng Ke say the words "Zhao Shenzhi", her heart beat wildly.

Picked up! The clue is finally connected!

Shen Yan'er subconsciously clenched her fists, but she still couldn't suppress her whole body from trembling violently because of excitement.

The tiger head gold medal left by Ah Zhen is engraved with the word "Zhao" on the back!

Shen Yan'er had asked Jing Hao if there was a senior official surnamed Zhao in the court, but Jing Hao couldn't think of it. It turns out that after Zhao Shenzhi's death, the Zhao faction was squeezed out by Wei Zhenhai, and no one remained in the high-ranking official class.

Suddenly, the desolate lamentation that Ah Zhen kept humming before her death came to her ears again.

In the past, I went back, and the willows followed. Now I think about it, the rain and snow are falling.

The way is slow, thirsty and hungry. My heart is sad, and I don't know how to mourn.

It's getting dark, why can't you go home yet?

If it weren't for the king, how could I have revealed the suffering of water......

It's getting dark, why can't you go home yet?

If it weren't for the king's drive, how could I toil in the mud......

It was not until this moment that Shen Yan'er finally understood the meaning of the lyrics, and also understood the sorrow and sadness in it. Tears began to roll in his eyes.
