"Poof."

I could only hear the sound of the dagger entering the flesh and the blood gushing out after it was pulled out, and it reached the ears of everyone in the Blue Dragon Palace.

Only in the moment after the silence, the frightened shouts of the ministers and nobles in the palace, and the screams of the maids and maids spread all over the majestic Qinglong Hall.

Xiao Jin's blood-soaked eyes, who had raised his dagger again, could no longer see the chaos around him, and he couldn't hear the shouts in his ears.

In his heart, he just kept repeating the phrase "the murderer pays for his life".

Looking at the woman in front of him who was bleeding all over the ground, Xiao Jin stretched out a hand and threw her aside.

But the woman, in spite of her own pain, pleaded with him not to hurt her husband.

It's just that Xiao Jin can't hear these words.

Even if he heard it, Xiao Jin would definitely question Mrs. Mingzhu:

"You told me not to hurt your husband, but should my lover be killed by him? ”

Mrs. Mingzhu blocked the mortal stab for Xiao Zishuo, so the sharp dagger only cut through Xiao Zishuo's flesh.

When he saw Xiao Jin wanting to stab himself again, Xiao Zishuo took advantage of Xiao Jin's time to catch Mrs. Mingzhu and rolled to the side.

Xiao Jin saw that Xiao Zishuo was about to escape, so he hurriedly used all his strength to stab Xiao Zishuo again, but the important place could no longer be stabbed.

As the sharp sound of the dagger piercing into the flesh and bone sounded again, Xiao Zishuo's scream also followed.

But at the same time, several golden gourd warriors who hurriedly caught up also hit the golden gourd in their hands on Xiao Jin's body.

"Don't kill him."

Xiao Zishuo looked at Xiao Jin, who was spitting blood but still staring at him, and struggled to stop the Golden Melon Warrior from killing Xiao Jin.

Hearing this, the Golden Melon Warriors stood on the spot, watching Xiao Zishuo wait for his next order.

Obviously, they were also worried in their hearts, although Xiao Jin's assassination of Xiao Zishuo in the lightning and flint had nothing to do with them, and their reaction was fast enough, but the serious injuries of the monarch and his wife still made them sweat like they were on the edge of the abyss.

When the monarch spoke, they breathed a sigh of relief.

The golden gourd held by the samurai was only used ceremoniously like the halberd, and had no effect on actual combat.

The melon is covered with gold flakes, but in fact the heart is empty.

Otherwise, how could those warriors afford to carry such a heavy object, let alone swing it to kill others.

But after all, it is also an object made of steel, gold and iron, and after a few hammers, I am afraid that Xiao Jin has already broken his tendons and fractures.

After confirming that Xiao Jin could no longer get up, they put down the golden hammer in their hands and stood aside.

"Xiao Jin, although Qing'er is dead, although it is my responsibility, but it is definitely not my killing, and you should come to seek revenge today, so I won't kill you, you can go."

Xiao Zishuo, supported by everyone next to him, covered his stabbed arm and said to Xiao Jin, who was lying on the ground.

After saying that, he lowered his head and went to look for Mrs. Mingzhu, who had just come back to her senses after resisting the dagger for herself.

When he watched his wife throw an unharmed smile at him, Xiao Zishuo also smiled and nodded to her.

Xiao Jin, who was crawling on the ground and couldn't move, was looking at Xiao Zishuo from beginning to end, and he endured the sharp pain that came from all over his body as if he was struggling to stand up again.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't even lift his arms.

How can the pain in the body be worth the pain in the heart.

After Xiao Jin tried several times, he finally raised his head and shouted, blood gushed out from his mouth and nose, and he fainted

on the spot.

The panicked people in the hall saw that Xiao Jin was no longer able to move, and Mrs. Mingzhu was also carried away for treatment and gradually regained her composure.

This succession ceremony is still the last step, and I don't know if Xiao Zishuo will sit on the throne.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were suddenly attracted by Zhao Zhihai who was holding Zhao Qing'er in His Royal Highness, because Zhao Zhihai was holding his daughter and trying to stand up.

Those who had sat down and those who had not yet sat down all stopped their movements and looked at Zhao Zhihai one after another.

"From now on, as long as I, Zhao Zhihai, am an official in Qin for one day, I will be inseparable from the Qi State.

Today, I will declare war on you with the blood of my daughter.

Until Xiao Zishuo died. ”

Zhao Zhihai returned to his former calm face, and after he said this coldly, he walked out of the Qinglong Hall with Zhao Qing'er in his arms.

Behind him, dozens of envoys from the Qin State also left the table with anger on their faces, while Gu Daoyuan immediately took a few people beside him to lift Xiao Jian up and take him away from the Green Dragon Palace.

As soon as Zhao Zhihai left, the ministers of Qi in the palace reacted one after another.

500,000 Chu troops and Chen soldiers on the border, but their own monarch provoked the more difficult Qin people,

So they lowered their heads and sighed to themselves.

But in Xiao Zishuo's eyes, what made him sigh was only Xiao Jin who was carried away.

With Zhao Zhihai's departure, several of the nobles of the Qi clan got up and left the table silently, and in a moment, this Qinglong Hall seemed to be half empty.

The people who stayed in the hall understood that these nobles who left the table were unwilling to support Xiao Zishuo anymore because of Xiao Zishuo's violence against Mrs. Mi and the interception of Xiao Wang and Xiao Ziyan at their father's funeral.

Although their departure was not hindered by major events, at least it showed their attitude, and it could be regarded as a silent protest.

Finally, after Liu Zhi of Shu State expressed his support for Qi State, under the arrangement of Xiao Kun and Tian Fu and others who took into account the overall situation, Xiao Zishuo still stepped on the public throne and became the new Qi Jun of Qi State.

And the first thing Xiao Zishuo did when he sat on the public throne was to immediately send envoys to Chu and send his only three-year-old son to Chu as a hostage.

Ceded the two counties of Luyun and Tongnan, and lost millions of tons of grain and tens of millions of dollars.

In the following days, he wrote a letter to Mi Xiao, who had returned to Chu after hearing the news, to admit his mistake, and lost millions of dollars and 100,000 tons of grain.

At the same time, Xiao Zishuo summoned himself to the guilt, released the Chu people, and went to the bank of the Yellow Water to hold a sacrificial ceremony for the dead Chu people and innocent people.

Soon after doing this, Xiao Zishuo gathered all 300,000 troops of Daqi, including the forbidden army, Chen Bing Hedong County,

Confronted 200,000 horses and horses of the Qin State at Xieyu Pass to the front line of Shangdang Huangshui.

The war is really coming.

......

Nanjing, the state of Chu, is prosperous and wealthy, and it should be the crown of the world.

Because it is located in the place where the summer water enters the sea, the Cao River has been developed since ancient times, and there are so many fish, rice, grain and millet that the other three countries are blushing.

The annual grain output of Wangji alone is worth more than half of the annual harvest of the Qin State.

Therefore, the state of Chu is not only strong in soldiers and horses, but also rich in the country and strong in the people.

Moreover, the people of Chu are good at business, and only about 20% of the people are bound to work on the land.

The remaining seventy or eighty percent of the people are mostly businessmen, who travel all year round to communicate with each other in various countries in the world.

Generally speaking, there are no strong soldiers in the land of merchants, but the state of Chu is obviously an exception.

Going out to do business is a very high-risk thing, maybe you will encounter strongmen and gangsters who will come out to intercept and kill the caravan, not to mention Qi Guo half a year ago

The whole country was persecuting the people of Chu.

Therefore, the people of Chu have practiced martial arts since ancient times, because they want to defend their property from being violated.

For a long time, this has also formed the strong folk customs of the Chu State, and the people of the whole country are not as fierce as the people of the Qin State like ignorant and reckless people, but a kind of ranger character with family and country feelings.

Therefore, there has been a situation in which the state of Chu has continuously expanded its territory and benefited thousands of miles in the past 500 years.

At present, although the population of Chu is not much larger than that of Qi, which is developed in agriculture, its territory is not much less than that of Qin, Qi, and Shu combined.

And all this is due to the adventurous and pioneering spirit of the people of the whole country.

Even every time Rong Di knocks on the pass, Xiao Guan will always have some more chivalrous figures from the Chu State.

Xiao Jin walked along Nanjing's Suzaku Street, constantly responding to the kind eyes of the people who came and went to him.

Half of his injuries have healed in the past six months, and now he is able to get up and walk on his own, and no longer needs help from others.

After being taken out of the Qinglong Hall of Qi by Gu Daoyuan half a year ago, he was sent to Chu State.

Because according to the agreement reached between Zhao Zhihai and Mi Xiao, there was a clause to hand him over to the Chu State.

After coming to Nanjing, Mi Xiao obviously treated him as a national soldier, not only sending people to take care of his daily life, but also sending the best medical officer in Chu to treat his physical wounds.

In order to allow him to recover from his injuries, Mi Xiao did not lose his blood.

Half a year later, his body was basically fine, but the trauma in his heart was getting worse.

Perhaps, he deliberately tore off the scar from the sore and left the wound dripping with blood.

The wide Suzaku Street is full of traffic and people.

Xiao Jin looked up and looked carefully, which was enough to make the carriages and pedestrians on the street where three cars were running in parallel actually hit each other, shoulder to shoulder.

The shops on both sides of the street are also bustling, shouting and selling.

And the chaos caused by the hustle and bustle of the streets and the bustling shops on the street is exactly what Xiao Geun desperately needs.

He has been planning for this day for more than a month.

Xiao Jin pretended to stop and go, as if he was particularly interested in the customs of the Chu Kingdom, and almost every store would go in and patronize it.

After a few hours, he was in one of the most crowded pastry shops.

Xiao Jin didn't talk to the diners in the pastry shop, but just took out the money to buy a pastry and squeezed into the shop to eat.

Halfway through eating, he put the pastry in his hand on the table for the guests to eat, and walked to the back of the shop with his stomach in his hands.

There was a sign in the shop that indicated that there was a back door leading to the latrine.

It's just that Xiao Jin found out the last time he came to find that there was a small alley outside the back door, but the alley was not flat, but a long waterway.

The waterway meanders, but it leads directly to the summer water.

In this place of the water town of Xiannan, almost every city is so close to the mountains and rivers, and the people in the city mostly rely on ships to transport goods and turn around.

There were several people in the cake shop who were scattered all over the place pretending to eat the cakes, but when they saw that Xiao Jin had been gone for a long time and had not returned, they all threw away the cakes in their hands and rushed to the back of the shop together.

In the rather dissatisfied nagging of the owner of the pastry shop behind them, these people looked at the winding and deep waterway in front of them, and their eyes widened and they looked at a loss.

In the city of Nanjing, there seem to be thousands of such waterways, and where Xiao Jin went, I am afraid that only God will know at this moment.
