Chapter 328: The Ancient King fell off a cliff and died
Bai Shengrui patiently explained to Yan Lingyue, and seeing that she didn't seem to understand, he reached out and touched her head and said, "You are so impulsive, you have already startled the snake, and then she will act more secretively, if you want to catch her fox tail again, I am afraid it will really take some effort." β
When Yan Lingyue heard this, she immediately became angry again, "You also said that if you hadn't agreed to her Xizhou entering the Regent's Mansion, how could you have done so many things later?" β
It's really angry, Wanyan Lingyue's little face turned red with anger.
Bai Shengrui smiled and said, "You're jealous." As he spoke, he reached out to her ruddy and cute little face and stroked it gently.
Wanyan Lingyue knocked his hands down, hugged his hands in front of his chest, and said angrily, "Don't be stinky, who has the kung fu to eat your jealousy." β
Bai Shengrui was bored, but he was not annoyed, and continued to "please" Yan Lingyue with perseverance, stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms, and then said: "I agreed that she would come to Xizhou, but in fact, it was just a delaying tactic." The civil strife in the Western Zhou Dynasty had just been assessed, and it was not yet suitable for war with the Yan State. β
This was the first time Bai Shengrui seriously explained to her why he agreed to let Jingyun stay by his side.
He never thought of marrying Jing Yun, everything he did was to confuse the people of Yan Kingdom, making them think that Bai Shengrui, the regent of the Western Zhou Dynasty, was just a womanizer who surrendered to Princess Jing Yun's pomegranate skirt, thus losing his mind and fighting spirit to start a war with Yan Kingdom.
"In that case, why didn't you say it earlier?" Wanyan Lingyue hammered Bai Shengrui's chest and asked coquettishly.
"I told you earlier, would you listen?" Bai Shengrui hooked Yan Lingyue's chin, and when Yan Lingyue was stunned, he lowered his head suddenly, and his warm lips covered Yan Lingyue's red cherry lips.
After a lingering and deep kiss, Bai Shengrui seemed to have some kind of satisfaction, his eyes were delicate and soft, and he looked at Wanyan Lingyue, who was blushing with a little face, and said: "This king said that you can't hide today, you see, this king has not broken his promise." β
After saying that, he poked his head down again, and once again attacked the land of fragrant land affectionately. Wanyan Lingyue only felt that time had stood still, the world around her was covered by Bai Shengrui's warmth, all the troubles, losses and helplessness had disappeared, and there seemed to be only the beating and powerful heart that stood opposite to herself in the world.
The sudden noisy footsteps outside the palace interrupted the charm of the two people, and Wanyan Lingyue hurriedly pushed Bai Shengrui away, and wiped the corners of his lips with the back of his hand, covering up the traces left by the lingering with a weak heart.
Outside the palace, there were guards who eagerly said that they had something to report.
Bai Shengrui sat up straight, quickly adjusted his mentality, and called the guard in.
When the guard came in, he saluted and immediately reported, "Lord Qiqi, the King of Eternal Ages has been found." β
"Did you bring anyone back?" Bai Shengrui stroked the hair on the top of his head and asked casually.
After Yan Lingyue saw that he heard the news, she didn't seem to be surprised at all, and couldn't help but be a little curious.
Could it be that Bai Shengrui didn't care if he had found the King of Eternal Ages?
The guard hesitated for a moment before he said hesitantly: "Back to the prince, no one brought it back." β
At this time, Bai Shengrui's calm and waveless face changed a little, his half-squinted phoenix eyes widened violently, and there was a trace of doubt at the bottom of his golden ink-colored pupils.
"What's going on?"
The guard hurriedly replied: "Originally, the subordinates wanted to bring him back, but he kept trying his best to resist, and we were afraid that he would run away again, so we thought of shooting a few arrows at him as a warning, but unfortunately one of the arrows hit him, and he finally rolled down the cliff." β
The guard didn't dare to raise his head after speaking, and quietly waited for Bai Shengrui to surrender.
The King of Eternal Beings is dead?
Wanyan Lingyue couldn't believe the news, she didn't feel sorry for him, but when she heard the news suddenly, she felt that it was a little untrue.
She thought that Bai Shengrui would definitely be furious, but after waiting for a while, Bai Shengrui always sat quietly with his eyes down, as if chewing on the content behind the news.
After a while, he waved his hand and said, "That's it, he deserves such an ending." Then he asked, "Has his body been found?" β
"The subordinates have sent people to search at the bottom of the cliff." Seeing that Bai Shengrui did not surrender, the guards were obviously a little surprised, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Find his body, and bury it." After Bai Shengrui gave the order, he ordered the guard who reported the news to go down.
Wanyan Lingyue never saw whether this news was good or bad for Bai Shengrui. If it's good, it's a little tangled to see that his expression is clear, and if it's bad, it looks like he doesn't care.
She asked tentatively, "If the Ancient King is really dead, will it have an impact on the war?" β
"The overall situation is over, he is just an outcast, and it has no impact." Bai Shengrui straightened his clothes and returned to a calm and indifferent state.
"Then since he is already a useless person, why does Princess Jingyun take the risk of letting him go?" Yan Lingyue never understood this.
Even if he let go of the King of Eternal Ages, he has no power or power in his hands, and even the royal seal has been confiscated by Bai Shengrui, what storm can he set off?
But Princess Jingyun is not a person who can make a loss-making deal, since she wants to take the risk to save him, what use value must be there for him to save him, Wanyan Lingyue is convinced of this.
"She wants Da Yan to use the King of Eternal Ages to create public opinion and attack our Western Zhou. Although the king of Wangu was deprived of power, he was the prince of Buqi after all, and if he won the sympathy of the people of the world with the attitude of a lost country, the people of the world would inevitably spurn our Western Zhou because of this. At that time, the Yan State can take advantage of the situation to start a war against our Western Zhou. β
As Bai Shengrui spoke, he stroked his eyebrows with his hand, as if he wanted to soothe the feeling of tiredness.
"If you want to bewitch the people of the world to attack us in the Western Zhou, Yan Guo is really despicable." Wanyan Lingyue said angrily.
If she wants to start a war openly, she will not have the slightest whisper, but if she wants to make these small actions behind her back, with her simple and upright character, she will not tolerate it no matter what.
Bai Shengrui couldn't help but be happy when he heard her slightly naΓ―ve words, "How can there be any despicability in this open and secret struggle between countries?" If it is according to your judging standards, then wouldn't it be even more hateful for us to take Butch in the Western Zhou. β
"That's different, whether it's the king of Buqi or the king of the ancient ages, they are all some unscrupulous people, everyone is punished, our Western Zhou just obeyed the mandate of heaven and punished the wicked." Wanyan Lingyue didn't seem to agree with Bai Shengrui's words.
In her simple understanding, everything is black and white, and there is never any gray.
"This is a matter of royal road, which cannot be assessed in a few words, and many of them have to be judged by history." After Bai Shengrui finished speaking, he stood up, glanced out, and saw that it was not early, so he said to Wanyan Lingyue, "Don't stay here tonight, come back to the camp with me." β
"Why, are you afraid that I'm not safe here? Afraid that Princess Jingyun will hurt me? β
Wanyan Lingyue wished that Princess Jingyun was making a move, so that she could grab her fox tail.
As soon as Bai Shengrui heard her tone, he knew what she was thinking.
This girl has never known what is treacherous in people's hearts, and always wants to punish adultery and eliminate evil with a courage.
If she is said to be simple, but sometimes she has amazing wisdom; If she says that she has a city, she will suddenly make childish actions.
After all, it can't be completely reassuring.
