There was a knock on the door outside, Xue Jinyao handed his younger brother to the nurse, went to open the door in person, and when he saw the visitor, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, "Are you...... Are you General Meng under King Wu? ”

"In Xia Meng, I have come to meet the ruling lady."

Xue Jinyan was extremely uncomfortable with the title of "Ruling Lady" and did not give way, "I've seen it, you can go." ”

"I have a few words to say to the ruling lady, which is also what it means to be in power."

"Why didn't he say it himself?"

"There are some things that are not good to govern and say in person."

"Hey, what a big shelf."

Xue Jin shook the way, Meng Seng Lun stepped into the house, and said to the nurse: "Please go to the inner room for a while." ”

The nurse immediately carried the child into the inner room, Xue Jinyan became more and more dissatisfied, and was about to open his mouth to reprimand, Meng Shenglun turned around and arched his hand, "Does the ruling lady want to avenge the incarnation king?" ”

"Of course. What's the matter, Xu Ji sent someone to stop me? Xue Jin snorted and didn't look at the General Meng in front of him.

Meng Shenglun shook his head, "On the contrary, I'm here to provide a chance for the ruling lady." ”

Xue Jin was stunned, "Xu Ji ......"

"There are some things that are difficult to say, so I can only say them."

"You say."

"If there is no accident, the kings will go to the main hall today to worship the descended king, and the guards are all left outside, and there are only five kings and a few eunuchs who don't care about idle things in the palace."

"Can you take me in?"

"The Ruling Lady is the beloved daughter of the Descending King, and she is ordered to assist the new King, and all the mages in the city are waiting for the Ruling Lady to appear, take them with them, and no Descending Army will dare to stop them."

Xue Jin pondered for a while, "Is this really what King Wu meant?" ”

"In short, this is not harmful to King Wu."

Xue Jin snorted again, pulled out the dagger in his arms and glanced at it, then took it back again, and said to Meng Seng Lun: "Take me to see the mages." ”

On the other side, the hall had been cleaned up, there was no bloodstain, no traces of last night's conjuring ceremony, only the lone throne was still in place.

When the kings first came here, Xue Liujia held a banquet and occupied the throne alone, and although he was invited, no one dared to sit down or take a look.

Today, the kings were able to walk closer, and though they were still too embarrassed to climb the steps, they could at least see clearly.

Ma Wei did not step forward, after killing the incarnation king, he had already tried to sit, and at this time he would rather be behind.

"Is the Emperor of All Things sitting on it to meet the ministers and rule the world?" Ning Baoguan asked.

"It's not." Shen Tan replied coldly: "It is not needed here a few times a year, the Emperor of All Things rarely meets the ministers, he relies on his favored ministers and cronies to govern the world, the location is erratic, the most commonly used place is Zishi Garden, he often goes out of the palace, seeks pleasure in the minister's house, and draws up the holy decree by the way." ”

Ning hugged the customs chief and let out a long sigh, "I see." After a pause, he added: "King Jin used to be the favored vassal of the Emperor of All Things? ”

Shen Tan smiled slightly, "It's a little longer, if you are favored, you are not as good as King Wu." ”

Ning hugged Guan's eyebrows raised slightly, "That's right, if it weren't for the favored ministers, naturally there would be no chance to assassinate the Emperor of All Things." King Wu is decisive, admired, admired. ”

The word "admiration" came out of Ning Baoguan's mouth, which had a special meaning.

Xu Ji smiled, "There will be eunuchs coming over later, let's worship the descending king according to the court's ceremony, so that people outside can see and hear, it should be fine." ”

"Why do eunuchs want to participate?" Ning Baoguan asked.

"Hmm...... Because I can't find someone that everybody believes in to do this. ”

"Not too many people." Ning hugged the pass.

"It's just ten."

As he spoke, the eunuchs had arrived, and their faces were panicked, not like they had come to preside over the ceremony, but as if they had come to send them to death.

Xu Ji said: "We can bow down seriously, or we can stand aside and watch and make a show." ”

"I don't want to worship the living, let alone the dead?" Mavi was the first to walk away.

The kings did not gather in their own identities, but scattered and wandered around the main hall, Ning Baoguan and Ganzhao were especially curious, and watched each pillar in detail.

Ten eunuchs stood in front of the throne, shouting in a trembling voice, asking the invisible people to take turns kneeling to worship the invisible emperor, and they themselves felt weird, and their voices trembled even more seriously.

Xu Ji was not too far from the throne, looking at the eunuch, he felt funny in his heart, but there was no smile on his face.

Ma Wei didn't know when he came, he was afraid of Xu Ji's shoulder in the back, Xu Ji was shocked, almost shouted, and immediately turned around, and when he saw that it was Ma Wei, his face returned to normal.

Ma Wei smiled: "King Wu, what's the matter?" ”

"Here...... Dead. Xu Ji smiled reluctantly.

"I killed it with my own hands." Ma Wei said a little proudly, motioned for Xu Ji to follow him aside, and whispered: "That day, I was talking nonsense, King Wu don't take it to heart." ”

"Which words?"

"If many things become easy and simple, I said casually, in fact, nothing will be really easy and simple, if it weren't for King Wu's help, I might ...... Anyway, I have to thank you. ”

"King Liang doesn't have to be polite, you and I have been friends for many years, and I don't change because of a few words, when I was wronged, I also had to thank King Liang for help to escape."

Ma Wei snorted, motioned for Xu Ji to go farther, went around behind a pillar, away from the kings, and said in a lower voice: "Did Guo Shifeng run to King Wu?" ”

"King Liang is looking for him?"

Ma Wei shook his head, "King Wu can not answer, but don't lie, I know Guo Shifeng better than you." ”

Xu Ji didn't answer.

Ma Wei waited for a while and continued, "What's the matter? At the beginning, when everyone planned to assassinate together, they were more in love than brothers, but now that the emperor of all things is dead, Tiancheng is half-tilted, you and I are each king, but we seem to have become strangers, wary of each other, it is rare to say a word of truth. ”

"I think it's because we haven't found our place."

Ma Wei was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "That's right, they all want to be kings, they all want to win the title, and they don't want to live under others, but there is only one throne, although it is large, it can't accommodate two people." On the contrary, it is Guo Shifeng who knows best what he wants to do. ”

"I sent him out of the city, and it was not me who Guo Shifeng wanted to defect to, but Yecheng."

"Alas, although Guo Shifeng is two-faced, his vision has always been good, and there must be a reason why he threw himself into Yecheng. Could it be that all our hard work will be paid for the water? ”

"The rebels are superior in numbers, and as long as they are united, they will be able to win a great victory."

"Unity ......" Ma Wei leaned over and glanced outside the pillar, and when he saw that no one was approaching, he whispered: "Speaking of taking refuge in Yecheng, the King of Jin also has this intention, and he has already sent people to contact the officers and soldiers, and the reason why the city gate has not been opened for a long time is because the conditions have not been negotiated." ”

Xu Ji was not surprised by Shen Tan's secret behavior at all, and Xu Ji didn't expect Ma Wei's outspokenness, "King Jin is also observing the situation, if the righteous army can regain the upper hand, he will naturally stand on the side of the righteous army." ”

Ma Wei approached Xu Ji and almost put it in his ear, "I've been wondering, why would you rather choose King Jin than come to help me?" ”

Xu Ji was a little embarrassed, so he simply didn't speak.

"Later, I figured out that if I still vote for King Jin today and King Ning tomorrow, what qualifications do I have to complain about King Wu? King Wu was right just now, we didn't put ourselves in the right position. So someone has to make a change, otherwise, you're going to have to fight each other. ”

"Hmm." Xu Ji knew Ma Wei too well and could guess the meaning behind almost every sentence he said, but this time it was an exception, and he was a little confused.

Ma Wei paused for a moment, and finally made up his mind, "As long as you are willing to let me keep the title of King Liang, I am willing to serve you as the lord." ”

Xu Ji was taken aback, took a step back, touched the pillar, and looked at Ma Wei, unable to tell how much of his words were true and how much was false.

Ma Wei's face was very serious, "I used to hope that King Wu could serve me as the master, but now it seems that it is impossible, King Wu is stubborn-" Ma Wei suddenly smiled, "It has always been like this, rather than let King Wu change his mind, it is better for me to change it." ”

Xu Ji was so surprised that he couldn't speak.

Ma Wei sighed lightly, "King Wu doesn't believe it now, it doesn't matter, I will do a few things to make you believe." ”

"I believe in King Liang, it's just ...... What made King Liang voluntarily change? ”

Ma Wei's face twitched slightly, and he said after a while: "Because...... I was scared, I had thought that all the soldiers of the Incarnation Army wanted to kill Xue Liujia, but it turned out that on the contrary, many people wanted to avenge him. When the city mutinied, I was really scared. But being scared also has its benefits, and I was finally able to calm down and think about what I was wrong with, and who was more suitable to be the emperor, me or King Wu. Although I don't want to admit it, I think about it, and I can only be King Wu. ”

"There are many winners, and I am not alone."

"The only one who can convince me is King Wu." Ma Wei bowed his hand slightly, "The ceremony over there is almost over, let's go over, I will find another opportunity to meet in King Wu's camp, and then we will talk in detail." ”

The eunuch had already stopped and stood there at a loss.

Gan Zhao said with a smile: "It is said that the emperor has many dragons, and it is true, but there are so many dragons, I haven't seen a single one jump out to protect the court, all of them are useless and cowardly dragons." ”

Shen Tan said on the other end: "It is said that someone has calculated that the dragon veins in the eastern capital are broken and the purple qi is moving north, so the kings of Xiangdong and Jibei will go to Yecheng to set up another imperial court." ”

Ning Baoguan said coldly: "Is it okay?" We have nothing to do here, and if the officers and soldiers take the opportunity to attack the city, they will just catch us off guard. ”

"That's it." Xu Ji announced, waving his hand to retreat the eunuchs, "That's all for today, wait for me to make a detailed plan, and then discuss it with the kings." ”

The kings took their leave, and were about to leave, when a group of people walked outside the main hall.

Xue Jin shook it and took a dozen mages with him to block the kings' way out, "Wait, I haven't worshiped yet." ”

The news of Xue Jin's return to the city has not yet spread throughout the city, except for Xu Ji, all the kings were a little surprised to see her.

Gan Zhao knew her best, and after meeting, he felt the most embarrassed, and stepped forward and said: "The Golden Holy Maiden is fine, congratulations, that ...... We have already worshipped ......"

"By your light, I can make a formal worship. It won't be long, so it's okay to wait, right? Xue Jin glanced at her, she didn't bring weapons or wear armor, but she had an indelible heroic aura, which made people dare not object easily.

Ning Baoguan said: "You can wait for a while, niece, don't delay too long." ”

King Jin didn't squeak, looked out, didn't understand how Xue Jinyao broke in, the Jin army obviously got his strict order and did not allow anyone to enter the palace.

King Liang looked away and didn't look at Xue Jinyao, he had long forgotten that King Wu was the son-in-law of the Descending King, and only then did he remember it, muttering a little in his heart, regretting that he had said it too early just now.

Xu Ji stepped forward, held Xue Jin's shaking hands, and stared into her eyes, "All kings do have urgent matters, and they can't stay long, you ......"

He wanted to say something, but he hesitated.
