Chapter 442: Blood Tribulation
Su Xiaochen once said that his uncle was a descendant of the Chang clan in Zhangzhou, and he was bent on recovering Songyang Kingdom.
It seems that he is a restorer again, and Qiu Yueshi has to say that he has some empathy.
What has been lost, especially those that were once like flowers, always wants to be reproduced in their lifetime. Ye Zhiqiu's obsession is exactly the same as himself and Lin Tongsheng, and it is not inferior.
However, the gentleman does something and does not do something, even if it is for the restoration of the country......
While Qiu Yueshi was secretly thinking about it, Cao Xiwen was still telling about last night's experience, and when it came to Chen Qi and Zheng Lun's knife pointing to the child in the crown princess's womb, Su Xiaochen and Zhu Zhitong glanced at each other.
"Tong'er, do you think why they did this?"
"I thought of it...... They must have known it. Zhu Zhitong said hatefully: "It's just that I didn't expect them to be so vicious, no matter what, my sister has no grievances with them, this uncle of yours is really not an ordinary wicked person!" ”
Cao Xiwen was puzzled: "What do they know?" ”
Zhu Zhitong said: "This matter is a long story, you continue to talk about it, and I will explain it to you in the future." But you saved my sister, and I will always remember you for this kindness. ”
Cao Xiwen waved his hand and said: "I saved her because she was Chongyan's daughter-in-law, not because of the identity of the crown princess." Chongyan asked me to protect him and his daughter-in-law, and this is my agreement with him. ”
"Reextended?" Zhu Zhitong was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that she was talking about Prince Cangwu.
That straw bale prince...... As soon as he mentioned it, he was angry, his sister was pregnant with Liujia, and he also took her out of the palace to run around, otherwise how could he encounter such a blood banquet in Hongmen!
Sister, you really shouldn't be committed to this kind of man, you don't have the ability to protect you, and you can't be happy for a lifetime.
Zhu Zhitong listened to Cao Xiwen explain the ins and outs of the matter, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Da Su, this sister of yours is so vigilant, she can actually carry your uncle behind her back to rescue people from the imperial capital. Since my sister is in this neighboring village, let's rush over as soon as possible, shall we? ”
Su Xiaochen knew that she was anxious at the moment, and she didn't want to wait for a moment, so she nodded and said, "Without further ado, if you see you sooner, you will feel more at ease." ”
Cao Xiwen's face was difficult: "This ...... It's not that I don't want to go with you, it's just that my father and I have made an appointment to meet in this village, in case he pounces. ”
Akizuki had been sitting beside him, and could feel his uneven breathing, apparently due to fatigue. nodded and said: "Gongzi Cao has indeed worked hard all the way, so it is better to rest here for the time being, just tell us the general situation of that room, and the three of us will look for it." ”
"Qiuyue-kun, can we find it?" Zhu Zhitong was a little worried.
"Your Majesty, there are not many people in the small village, and besides, Cao Gongzi has already described it in detail, I don't think there is any problem in finding Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess." Akizuki smiled slightly.
"Okay, Qiuyue-kun, Da Su, then let's go."

Bad omens, in a sense, are actually a good thing.
Because it at least gives people a wake-up call, and if you're lucky, you might be able to avoid it.
On the contrary, it is a good omen, but it is dispensable.
Because it's just the icing on the cake, it's already auspicious, and it's not ominous at will.
But in most cases, whether it is evil or auspicious, there is no sign.
As the so-called blessings and misfortunes are unpredictable.
No one thought that on a snowy night, the entire silver-covered Wanhua Emperor would suddenly turn into an endless blood-colored Shura Hell within a few hours.
The mansions of the thirty-six ministers of the court were soon occupied by the dragon scale army, and the ministers did not know what was going on, nor who was manipulating behind them, and they were pressed into their own courtyard by a bunch of tiger-like soldiers before they could even think about how to justify the crime that was suddenly pressed on them. The head was cut off with a knife in his hand, and there were immediately a bunch of so-called "Fa-rectification on the spot" souls in this world.
What "can't be punished by a doctor" and what is said about governing the country with benevolence and virtue has become a lie in front of the cold blade.
The family members in the house were all crying and shouting, and some of them desperately resisted or tried to escape, without exception, they all became ghosts. So it seems that only thirty-six people have been killed, but in fact, the number of dead has been dozens of times, and even the "ambergris mouth" on the west side of the entire imperial capital flows to the city with a trickle of blood, staining the ground black and red.
Jingzhao Mansion Yin and several ministers who still had a little strength in their hands did not resist, the reason is very simple, Chen Qi according to Ye Zhiqiu's arrangement, took advantage of the initial unknowingly to solve this group of relatively tricky officials, and the rest of the people in their eyes are just some cooked melons and rotten vegetables, waiting to be cut.
Pei Ran was driven to the front like a chick, and everywhere he went, he had to see the scenes of horror, madness, killing, and death with his own eyes.
He listened to Chen Qi skillfully recite aloud the charges committed by those officials, and watched the soldiers skillfully draw their swords and slash people, so that the degree of crispness and sharpness went from a stick of incense to a cup of tea
However, another one.
After dozens of times, Pei Ran was a little numb, and he never forgot the numbers, and gradually he couldn't count how many people had died, and the scene in front of his eyes and in his mind was only a sea of blood.
He finally understood that Ye Zhiqiu had never given him a choice, and from the moment he followed Chen Qi to knock on the mansions of each family, he had been completely pulled onto Ye Zhiqiu's boat.
Because Chen Qi will not kill all the people in the mansion, those who do not resist and do not say anything can still live, and these people have all seen Pei Ran without exception.
So as long as you wait until dawn, everyone in the world will know that Pei Ran, the head of the household, is a pioneer in this blood tribulation.
Ye Zhiqiu only gave Pei Ran one way: to do things for him and find shelter.
Every time he finished killing a mansion, Chen Qi would cross a line on that list.
Soon, at the end of the day, all the people on the list were crossed out.
Pei Ran sat slumped aside like a withered tree, wondering if it could finally come to an end.
After this night, looking at those people who were talking and laughing with him a few days ago, suddenly their heads fell to the ground, and he even had an illusion: life and death and wealth did not seem to be so important.
People, isn't it just a "click"?
Maybe Chen Qi now has the knife on his neck, and he will no longer have the urge to beg for mercy. He didn't know that he still felt guilty in his heart, and he didn't know that it was more than just money and power that could make him happy, angry, and sad.
"Master Chen...... Are you done? ”
"It's done." didn't close his eyes all night, Chen Qi replied that he was still in good spirits, and he didn't seem to mean to let Pei Ran go.
Pei Ran closed his eyes.
It seems that he doesn't plan to let himself go, so ...... Life and death are fateful, let him go.
However, after a while, there was no movement.
Pei Ran opened his eyes and saw that Chen Qi was also looking at him.
"Lord Chen, what are you waiting for?"
"Wait until Master Pei is done resting."
"You...... Not going to kill me? ”
"Why did I kill Master Pei?" Chen Qi smiled: "Master Pei is his own person. ”
"My own people ......" Pei Ran laughed self-deprecatingly: "Then you refuse to let me go, is it because the people on the list haven't killed enough, waiting for me to add a few more?" ”
"That's not it, but I still need Master Pei's help to knock on the door again."
"Who's home?"
"Yue Wangfu."
"You, you don't even let go of Old Prince Yue......"
Li Renyi, the prince of Yue, is the younger brother of the first emperor, and the uncle of Emperor Wen today, only because he suffered from extremely serious mental deficiency at a young age, he has always lived in the palace and does not care about the world, and he is less likely to move around. Everyone in the world knows that he is stupid, and now he is in his seventies, if he hadn't mentioned it suddenly, no one would have thought that there was such a prominent figure among the emperor's relatives.
The number of the Li royal family is small, and Emperor Wen has always advocated filial piety, so he has always taken care of this imperial uncle. He knew that this imperial uncle was a waste of people and had no threat to him, so he treated him very leniently. For Emperor Wen, the only meaning of the existence of Prince Yue is to flaunt a banner of benevolence, and he uses it very well.
Pei Ran didn't understand, what was Ye Zhiqiu going to do when he killed Prince Yue? What good can it do to kill a fool?
Chen Qi saw that Pei Ran seemed to have recovered some of his spirits after resting for a while, and explained: "Master Pei guessed wrong. Old Prince Yue is highly respected, how could we kill him? Now that the prince is seriously injured, and the saint is out on an expedition, the most respected and highest status in the imperial capital is this imperial uncle, and we invite him to come out to preside over the overall situation, naturally for the stability of the situation in the imperial capital, which is also a logical thing. ”
Pei Ran understood.
What is said to be respectable, this kind of word is used on Lord Yue, it is a bull's head against the horse's mouth, and pulling out such a character is nothing more than wanting to use him as a cover. Chen Qi only has one sentence to tell the truth, and now in the imperial capital, if you talk about identity and respect, there is really no one who can be higher than this old imperial uncle.
Ye Zhiqiu...... How many moves have you buried, and the weird tricks are endless.
"I know that Master Pei is tired, as long as we knock on this house again, we will send Lord Pei back to the house to rest, and the rest of the matter, there is no need for Lord Pei to follow and work hard."
Pei Ran squinted at Chen Qi.
Yes, when it gets out tomorrow, everyone in the world will know that it was I Pei Ran who secretly washed the imperial capital with two deputy commanders from the second rank in the name of Prince Yue, and everything would not even mention Ye Zhiqiu.
The initiator of the blood catastrophe in the imperial capital can be left alone, and it seems that he has nothing to do with it, Ye Zhiqiu...... You're really poisoned.
I can't imagine that I Pei Ran has endured for decades, and even Master Muyun can carry it to the end, but I was still injured in your hands. But tonight's events will reach Emperor Wen's ears in a few days. I'd like to see how you plan to go on this game.
"Then let's go, seeing that the sky is about to dawn, if I continue to consume it like this, I'm afraid I won't even have the strength to knock on the door."
