Chapter 158: The New King's Ambition
In the maple cold forest,
There were two people in a hurry, stepping on broken leaves like stepping on the wind.
"Hey, what did you bring me here for?"
Daji finally couldn't help but shout.
"You didn't come to Mingfu to look for me."
"I'm just taking you to your sweetheart."
Ming Shiyin's expression was contemptuous, but his voice was more difficult than ice, making it difficult to guess his thoughts.
"Don't talk nonsense! He's not my sweetheart! ”
Daji blushed and retorted loudly.
"Besides, I wasn't in your house before..."
"I repeat, you're wrong. Di Renjie is not in my house. ”
Ming Shiyin suddenly paused, staring at Daji with a particularly gloomy face.
"If you're not there, you're not here! Don't stare at me! ”
Daji muttered quietly, but her heart was very panicked.
Ming Shiyin raised his eyebrows, and the cold light in his eyes was like an ice knife stabbing people's pain.
Daji took a small step back in fear.
There are few people in the Fengleng Forest, and it is the middle of the night, if Ming Shiyin has a murderous intention towards her...
Daji swallowed her saliva, glanced at Ming Shiyin, and closed her mouth obediently.
The main hall of the camp.
Although the main hall here is solemn, compared with the magnificent atmosphere of the main hall in the emperor's palace, it is much more shabby in an instant. There are many masked black-clothed men around the main hall, and there are many soldiers guarding it, so it seems that the new king is still very cautious.
Di Renjie followed the little maid in front of him, walking like a fly. Although he was in trouble on the one hand, he was afraid that he would not be able to recover his life when he saw the new king, and he would be recognized. But my heart is more impatient to meet the mastermind of this conspiracy.
Seeing the door of the main hall, the little maid was raising her head and planning to reply loudly. Then he saw the door of the main hall, which creaked and suddenly opened, and the room was as dark as an abyss.
The little maid rolled her eyes and glanced at Shangguan Wan'er. She saluted knowingly, turned and retired.
Di Renjie's curiosity became even heavier, is the new king's way of receiving his subordinates so special? Don't you need to spread the word?
"Come in."
A deep, powerful voice came from inside the room, sounding like a young man.
Di Renjie heard the words and hurriedly walked into the main hall.
In the dimly lit main hall, a rattan chair is in sight, and the pillars next to the rattan chair are hung with many gray curtains, which looks ethereal and eerie. The figure of the new king was resting on a wicker chair, and the candles and flames in the room were full of shadows, making the whole room dark and dull.
The center of the hall where Di Renjie was standing was very empty. Except for the wooden chairs placed on both sides of the house, there are no more task objects or furnishings. Di Renjie raised his head slightly and looked at the curtain, trying to see the face of the new king.
Unexpectedly, his action attracted a sneer from the new king.
"Come here."
The new king lowered his voice to command.
Di Renjie frowned. Didn't the new king let him go around the curtains?
Suspicious, he walked cautiously towards the curtain.
He saw the new king, who had been lying lazily on a wicker chair, suddenly get up slowly, and stand up straight.
The new king was through the curtains, his chin was slightly raised, and his eyes looked directly at Shangguan Wan'er as if he had something to say to her.
"How's it going?"
The new king asked word by word without emotion.
Di Renjie had a question mark in his head, what was going on? How should he answer? He looked down at the floor, and looked up at the new king, who was finally through the curtains, and he could not see the face of the new king clearly.
"That's it."
Di Renjie chose a sentence that was not easy to show flaws, trying to get past it.
"Really?"
The new king nodded, and at the same time took a small step forward without missing a trace.
At this time, the new king was already very close to Di Renjie, although it was only one step away from the curtain.
"Yes."
Di Renjie replied in the affirmative with an expressionless face.
Seeing that the new king sneered, he suddenly lifted the curtain between the two with one hand, and pinched Shangguan Wan'er's chin with the other hand. His long golden hair was as dazzling as the sun, his evil eyes were seductive, and the corners of his upturned lips looked cool. He lowered his head and stared coldly at Shangguan Wan'er, his gaze was like looking directly at the prey in the cage.
The moment Di Renjie saw the new king's face, he was shocked in his heart.
I didn't expect the new king to be him! Li Xin!
Li Xin is a descendant of the Li family, and he has the noble blood of the royal family. If it wasn't for the empress to succeed to the throne back then, the world of Heluo would have been his. It's a pity that after the empress ascended the throne that year, she ordered Li Xin to be removed from the imperial family and expelled him from Chang'an, and he was never allowed to return. Li Xin lost his power and wealth, and even if he was once a prince, he could only live a life of exile.
"Wan'er, you're doing a great job."
The corners of Li Xin's mouth hooked up a smile, cold and charming.
"Yesterday I ordered you to kill Di Renjie, but you still refused, but I didn't expect it to be done today."
"Earlier, I was worried that you would miss it, so I sent Su Lie to Feng Lenglin, it seems that it was too much."
Li Xin said with a low chuckle, but his eyes were dripping on Shangguan Wan'er's face.
Li Xin's expression made Di Renjie feel very unhappy.
He always felt as if Li Xin had an intention on Shangguan Wan'er. And hearing that Li Xin sent Su Lie to Fenglenglin, Di Renjie's heart was filled with new worries.
It would be bad if Su Lie found Shangguan Wan'er's iron cage trap in the Fengleng Forest and killed Shangguan Wan'er and Yuan Fang in the cage. It seems that he has to quickly find a way to rescue the empress and retreat.
"The new king doesn't have to worry about Di Renjie, I don't know what happened to the empress now?"
Di Renjie smiled hypocritically, and at the same time wanted to brush off Li Xin's hand that was holding the chin of "Shangguan Wan'er".
Unexpectedly, Li Xin took the lead instead, squeezed Shangguan Wan'er's raised hand, and a hint of oppressive evil smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"The empress is locked in a dungeon, and it is difficult to fly. As soon as Di Renjie died, the empress could not see hope, so she would naturally compromise. ”
Li Xin smiled gloomily.
"It's you, my little Wan'er, you haven't answered me yet, would you like to follow me into the palace as a concubine?"
Li Xin's flirtatious gaze saw her crisp breasts from the side of Shangguan Wan'er's face, and then lingered on her slender wrists.
Di Renjie was covered in goosebumps when Li Xin saw it, and even nauseated!
"Your Majesty has three thousand beauties in the harem, why do you need to remember Wan'er." Di Renjie tried his best to restrain his disgusting look and responded respectfully.
"There are three thousand beauties in the harem, you can't smile back at Wan'er~" The corners of Li Xin's mouth turned up, and his lips moved to Shangguan Wan'er's face.
Di Renjie couldn't bear it, so he subconsciously grabbed Li Xin's wrist with his backhand and pressed it down, and when he raised his leg, he kicked Li Xin in the stomach violently.
Li Xin was caught off guard, snapped, and fell to the ground.
His eyes widened, looking at Shangguan Wan'er, who was usually respectful, and he was stunned.
