Chapter 18: A Brutal Counterattack
When Yi Zhilin's impatience and recklessness were forgiven by the Son of Heaven, just when everyone became more and more suspicious of Yi Zhilin's jealousy and hatred and the purpose that could not be resorted to others, Yi Zhixing tried his best to exonerate him, but in exchange for Yi Zhilin's uncontrollable behaviors after that. The more the Son of Heaven tried to expose his false intentions with a gentle skin, the more angry Yi Zhilin became, but he didn't know it, or he clearly realized it but didn't care about it, and the more he did this, the more the suspicion of the ministers about his intentions deepened.
You must know that the most taboo in the court of Yin Guo is the situation of fighting in the same room, so this slander has fulfilled Yi Zhixing's wish to drive him out of the court, and Yi Zhilin's impression in the hearts of the ministers is undoubtedly that he wants to slander his brother and fight for the imperial power, which is exactly the situation that the Son of Heaven wants to see.
The night was thick, and the pain and festering injuries were rampant, and they were confined to Zhilan's thin body for a long time, so that she could not move, could not breathe, and refused to leave even if she died.
The woman, who had been tortured by pain and almost fainted, could no longer stand upright, and she lay on her side in the prison paved with green grass, her eyes lost their former brilliance and vitality, and her sometimes convulsive body endured unbearable suffering.
The sorrow is extreme, and the quiet sound of the shamisen seems to be heard in my ears, which is the tune that Shiba Lan used to play, but now it smells like her own funeral song.
Even so, she still lightly tapped the ground with her barely trembling fingers, as if she was playing in the Clothes Pavilion, and the peaceful days of the past that were not invaded by the iron hooves of the enemy also appeared in her ears in this sound of strings, that was a warm world, how could her eyes open and fall into this unknowable abyss?
At this time, the sound of the deep footsteps seemed to be harmonizing with the woman's strings, and the black shadow that appeared behind him at first glance was like the arrival of the Yin army in the city that day, tearing apart the last inch of peace that Zhi Lan was keeping.
Whose figure is that? Zhilan had expected it, but she didn't look back for a long time, but just lay on her side and watched the black shadow on the wall gradually approaching due to the reflection of the faint fire candle.
Soon, the black shadow completely enveloped Zhi Lan's entire vision, and she simply closed her eyes and listened carefully to the chilling sound of the prison chains being untied and the inexplicable conversation between master and servant.
"Go outside and keep watch, and don't let anyone set foot here."
"Yes! Your Majesty. ”
At the end of the song in his heart, the steps of the black shadow stopped behind Zhi Lan, which was really a coincidence, but it made Zhi Lan disgusted.
"What? Will the comfort of the moment before death be ruthlessly taken away by Yin Jun? Yin Guo is really a great country. ”
Bloodshot blocked her throat, Zhi Lan said weakly, she still hadn't looked back, and her bloodstained back was always fixed in front of Yi Zhixing's eyes.
The next moment, the man suddenly reached out and twisted Zhi Lan's weak neck, so that his body had to be driven to get up and kneel on the ground, Zhi Lan, who had no strength at all, was really like a rag doll that was wantonly abused, she endured the pain that came from time to time all over her body, and the blood flowed down wantonly.
"Say! I have no grievances with you, why do you want to frame me, a traitor! Do you know what happened to the false king! ”
Yi Zhixing's face was hideous, his pupils were quenched with blood, and the hatred of being slandered still made him unhappy. He has been hypocritical for a long time, and finally held on to this moment, so that he could touch the damned body of this wicked person with his own hands, and fiercely blocked her last trace of breath.
The woman desperately squeezed out a few words from her mouth, just to be able to finally humiliate the royal blood of Yin Guo's crimes.
"No injustice, no ...... No Hatred...... Hum...... The harshness and atrocities of your Yin Kingdom will eventually ...... It will cause you to reap the consequences...... You...... And your Yin family...... Certainly...... Surely there will be terrible retribution! I'll wait! ”
As soon as the words fell, Yi Zhixing kicked Zhi Lan's tattered body away like kicking dross, and the rag doll hit the wall, and she fell to the ground with the blood that burst out of her mouth and soaked her chest.
"You slut! The concubine of a small country is still vainly trying to intrude on Yin's internal affairs, which is simply bold! ”
As soon as Zhi Lan, who tried to refute Yi Zhixing, was about to speak, gurgling blood gushed up from her chest, wrapping her mouth, so that she couldn't say a word, and the woman could only give up in the end, but the heart-wrenching pain and almost fainting nausea came to her head-on, and when Yi Zhixing vented her anger, Zhi Lan, who was in a trance, couldn't feel anything.
When her thoughts were once again barely on the verge of reality, the Chinese text in her eyes reflected Yi Zhixing's face full of anger, it was dangling in front of her eyes, Zhi Lan only felt that her whole world was shaking, and her neck was wrapped tightly by an inexplicable force, which was Yi Zhixing's fierce palm that blocked Zhi Lan's breath.
And what flickered in her ears were the equally powerful voices of the people in front of her, which leaped into the woman's ears in a stronger or weaker way, completely disturbing her already vague thoughts.
"I tell you! No matter what, you have to do what I command, or the lives of those you care about will not be saved! But I tell you, even if you obediently obey my orders, I will never tolerate your life, a slut! Those who slandered me deserve to die! ”
The cold rhetoric knocked on Zhi Lan, and the next moment, in addition to the dizziness, the woman's ears were ringing, but she was still worried about Sui Jing's safety, but she still forced herself to clear up in this haze, she wanted to live with Jing, and desperately wanted the man to continue to live.
The next moment, the lips were hooked, and the cunning appeared.
"I ...... Why should I believe your word...... Now he is alive or dead...... I don't know...... Let...... Convince you that you must ...... You have to show your sincerity......"
At this moment, Zhilan herself didn't know whether she was in a dream or reality, like a drunken person, she could clearly capture the sounds around her, but everything around her still came in the form of a distorted phantom, and the heavens and the earth were chaotic, as if she had returned to the pre-creation period.
"Slut! Why do you threaten me! ”
Zhi Lan had suffered some kind of heavy blow with this voice before she completely fainted, and when she woke up, she could vaguely remember the pain, like a slap to herself when the Son of Heaven was angry, but fortunately she was already unconscious at that time, so she was saved from being entangled in pain.
Yi Zhixing, who returned to the dormitory, no longer had the heart to deal with complicated government affairs in the past, he was really depressed in his heart, although Zhilan was now fainting and unconscious, but he still did not have the slightest pleasure of punishing evil, because the slut was still forced to force his own value at such a juncture, and made the Son of Heaven show his sincerity, how can this be the case in this world? If it weren't for the fact that Zhilan still had room to use now, her death would have come early because of the intimidation of the Son of Heaven.
In Zhilan's body, Yi Zhixing can be said to have received a cold reception that was impossible to receive in the past, one is slander, the other is intimidation, and suddenly, the dignity of those high incumbents is lost, and Yi Zhixing only feels that his personality has been inexplicably abused. A lot of unhappiness was at work in his heart, and the Son of Heaven was so angry that he waved the tea cup in his hand to the ground.
This move shocked the people around him enough, you must know that the Son of Heaven has always been gentle, such a face is rare, but when I saw the kneeling down, the pick-up and the pick-up, everyone was confused, I don't know where the anger of the Son of Heaven came from and why it came.
At this time, Yan Qi hurriedly came to report.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Wei Guo has arrived at the palace."
Hearing this, Yi Zhixing's frowning brows were even more distorted, and his anger was covered with a layer of anxiety and impatience.
"Didn't you say you'd be here tomorrow? If you don't come early or late, if you come at this time, this Wei Cheng will really add to my blockage! ”
The furious anger was about to erupt, and there was no room for a moment to stop, and the Son of Heaven was walking with smoke at his feet, and the anger in his stomach had to be put back to the bottom of his heart for the time being.
To say that this Wei country is a strong country that rivals the powerful Yin country, and in some aspects, Wei is even slightly superior. In recent years, due to the brutal rule of the first emperor of Yin, the strength of Yin's state has declined, and Wei's state, which is relatively harsh and soothing, often leaves difficulties in military, political and diplomatic affairs, which makes the government and the opposition of Yin's state very unhappy, and when the new emperor takes the throne, it seems that Yin, who wants to continue to dominate the world, sent the prime minister to visit again.
"The new emperor fruit of the Yin Kingdom is extraordinary, and I think your country's national strength will be able to soar in the future."
Having said that, the prime minister of Wei Guo still looked at the incumbent with an extremely arrogant attitude, he had already heard that the new emperor of Yin State was diligent and loved the people, and he was happy to be able to create a great cause in the coming day, and this great cause was indeed what Wei Guo did not want to see, at least when he saw the face of Yi Zhixing now, Prime Minister Wei Guo felt an inexplicable threat, and he didn't know where this threat came from, perhaps because of the bearing of the high-ranking person, Yi Li was not angry, and Yi Zhixing was not angry and arrogant, A good king is not as thorough as a tyrant.
"Then I borrowed the auspicious words of Prime Minister Wei Guo."
On the surface, the easy-going Yi Zhixing has already exploded in his heart, and in the face of the people who are willing to enter the hall without giving a seat, and the style of etiquette is even more unruly, Yi Zhixing is wrapped in another humiliation in addition to Zhilan, just as Prime Minister Wei Cheng thinks about it, the good monarch is indeed not as thorough as the tyrant, at least under this humiliation, Yi Li, who used to bully the weak, thought about how to find the pleasure of a strong country from the body of a small country, but at this time Yi Zhixing thought about how to return a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye.
Of course, this is not the time to fight back, because the strength of the Yin State has indeed weakened in the hands of the former emperor, although the peak was also created by the first emperor.
After the fake greetings, it was the serious purpose, and the prime minister of Wei Guo did not hide the identity of the superior, and immediately picked out the benefits that Wei Guo wanted to get from this trip.
"Now that the first emperor of Yin has passed away, and the new emperor has just ascended the throne, at this time there must be a lot of government affairs at hand, and you should also have the idea of changing the old policies, and you can't get out of the internal affairs, so you don't want to be on the fire at this time, right? In this case, it could not be simpler, if the monarch of the Yin Kingdom is willing to give up the ripples and places in the north, and offer ten thousand taels of gold and ten boxes of treasures, and return to the Wei Kingdom with me with ten beauties of the Yin Kingdom. Here, I need to remind the monarch of Yin Guo, these ten beauties must be the best beauties of Yin, after all this, our Wei Kingdom should not invade the territory of Yin, with the contract as evidence, I don't know what the monarch of Yin will do? ”
The prime minister of Wei Guo was domineering, the sneer on his lips and the slightly raised eyes, together with the word 'dedication' emphasized in his mouth, are undoubtedly not a wake-up call to the status of the two kingdoms of Yin Guo, even if it is just the prime minister of Wei Guo to Yin State, it is also condescending to this, no matter what unreasonable demands Wei Guo makes, Yin Guo should fully promise it.
Not long ago, he was threatened by the woman in prison, but now he was in trouble by the prime minister of the enemy country, and immediately, Yi Zhixing's face fell to the bottom, and the fists hidden under his sleeves were already covered with green tendons, and he trembled slightly in the hidden place.
