Chapter 296: Exhortation

"Hear me." Meihou replied.

"Then do it!" Shi Ji said.

"Wechen obeys." Meihou began to dig holes.

Ishiji walked towards Merlin's hearse, accompanied by a few of us. I turned my head to look at Xiao Qian. She's looking at me too.

"Are you alright?" I asked.

"It's fine." She replied softly, but her eyes were on my legs under my high-leg pants, "Are your legs long?" ”

"Oh!" I replied.

Shi Ji stared at Merlin's coffin, obviously using his spiritual sense to check the situation inside, but his brow became tighter and tighter.

Then she took me aside and asked me in a low voice, "What did Merlin die for?" ”

I really don't know how to answer, because to this day, I don't know why she died, so I can only be vague.

"Do you believe she hatched a plot to assassinate Ji Fa?" She asked.

I shook my head.

She pressed my shoulder, "Zhou Hou is so indiscriminately killing innocents, why do you want to follow him?" ”

"But he gave Merlin a chance!" I said, "As soon as Merlin recants her confession and writes her brief, he'll arrange a retrial." But Merlin said nothing! ”

"Huh!" Shi Ji looked at me, "That's so kind. Isn't it a joke that he has already been sentenced to beheading, and that as long as he writes a complaint, he will be retried? If the evidence is conclusive, what is the use of a retrial? And if there is no evidence at all, isn't it just a matter of careless human life? ”

"Nezha, do you know who did Ji Chang's assassination before he died?" Shi Ji asked again.

"Didn't Wen Zhong's subordinates do it?" I say.

"That's right." Shi Ji said, "But you probably don't know that Ji Fa's third brother Ji Xian has been secretly communicating with Wen Zhong for a long time. If there was no secret help from the Ji Xian brothers, how could Xin Huan and the other four people be able to drive straight into Xiqi and attack Xiqi? How can they trap Ji Fa, Jiang Shang and others in the Ten Battles? ”

"When Ji Fa escaped, Wen Zhong died in the Dragon Ridge. For these small actions of Ji Xian, how could Ji Fa not know? However, knowing this, why did Ji Fa still hand over last year's assassination to Ji Xian for investigation and punishment? I'm afraid he just wants to take this opportunity to eradicate dissidents through Ji Xian's hands. ”

"Nezha," Shi Ji continued, "I know that because of the sacrifice seven years ago, you have always held a grudge against the teacher, and you also hated the king. But he's your uncle after all. What are you to Zhou Hou? ”

"Look at those who abandoned business and returned to Zhou. Civil officials such as Sanyisheng, Xinjia and others, ninety percent of Ji Chang's decrees are from the hands of two people, do you see them marquis and worship the prime minister? Military generals such as Fang Bi, Fang Xiang, Hong Jin, Xu Gai, Tailuan, Ji Kang, etc., either became cannon fodder, or were wronged to death, and which one of them was reused. ”

"Even if it is your Uncle Jiang Shang, relying on you and other Yuxumen people, the west is to fight for the dogs, the north to seek the secret beard, the south to conquer Chong and Deng, and the east to Li Yu, and make immortal contributions to the Marquis of Zhou. If he hadn't dedicated your senior sister Yi Jiang to Ji Fa, he would have won the position of prime minister. Otherwise, it's not the same as everyone else? ”

"But even if he is the ruler of the country, can Ji Chang trust him? It's not a constraint at every turn. And your mother, Mei Lin, and Chanyu are all relatives of the Yin family. How can Ji Fa fully trust you? ”

"Look at the twenty-two people who were martyred with Mei Lin, there were actually nine Yin Shang clansmen. I heard that your mother, the Lord of the Ten Counties, and Hong Xin were also involved. Presumably, your Li family still has value for it, and Hong Xin's brother and sister-in-law have just died, so Ji Fa has just opened up. ”

Shi Ji grabbed my shoulders with both hands, "Listen to me, Nezha." Come back! Zhou Hou generations of tigers and wolves. You are born and die ahead, and their fathers, sons, and brothers sit back and enjoy their success. Why should you serve them and be enemies of your own relatives and friends? ”

She pointed behind her, "Look, when I learned that you were here, Xiao Qian immediately begged me to bring her here." Why do you have the heart to let her suffer from this lovesickness? ”

Shi Ji's words made me speechless, so I had to be silent.

An hour later, Merlin's grave had been dug up. Although it is said that it is according to the princess's funeral, the money has to be paid by Meihou. It's just that it occupies a larger area.

After attending the burial ceremony, Shi Ji got up and said goodbye. "Lord Meihou, the front is urgent, and Ben Shuai can't stay for a long time. The rest will be left to the prince. ”

Mei Hou arched his hand, "The lower official must live up to the trust." ”

Shi Ji turned to me again, "Nezha, you send Mei Lin here, you have to start and finish well, and leave after the monument is erected." Xiao Qian is here to accompany you for the time being. After the funeral is over, quickly lead the troops to Boyi to meet me. ”

I owe a salute," the disciple obeyed. ”

"If I just said that, please consider it. There is no need to rush a reply. After Shi Ji finished speaking, he left Xiaoqian and Huyan, turned around and took Qingluan and the two boys of Biyun Caiyun to take off.

If I wasn't the future, or didn't know the direction of history, I'm afraid I'd really be moved by Shiji's sharp teeth. But when you know the result, do you still have to go against the sky?

I didn't stay at the cemetery. Let Meihou toss the next projects! So he took Xiaoqian, Deng Chanyu and Hong Xin back to Meihou Mansion.

In the evening, Meihou came to see me and asked me for the inscription on the back of the stele. "General Nezha, the inscription of the county lord should have been written by the lower officials. Ran Lin'er has lived in the capital with her brother since she was a child. I don't know anything about her deeds. Please also give the general a text. ”

I was upset, so I pushed it to Deng Chanyu and Hong Xin. But Deng Chanyu didn't buy it, "Nezha, among the three of us, you and Mei Lin have been together the longest." How can it be pushed to us? ”

"But what do I have to write about?" I said, "Is it written that she broke her leg by Yin Jiao's plot in the Smart Competition, or is it her conflict with Yi Congshan in Dongying?" Or write about the humiliation she endured in the Asaka prison? Or was he humiliated in Licheng and his limbs were ruined? What paragraph can be written? ”

"Cousin, you're not right." Deng Chanyu retorted, "Why don't you say that she won the ranking of the Smart Competition?" Why don't you write that she will help you kill the merman? Why don't you say that she was unfortunately captured after capturing Princess Yi Ji alive? And she broke into the enemy camp alone to persuade Xu Gai? ”

At this time, Hong Xin interjected, "Don't be embarrassed for Nezha!" Xiaoqian has not been a classmate with Mei Lin for a long time. It's up to her to write it! ”

"Alright then!" Xiao Qian responded, "After I finish writing, Nezha will check for me." ”

That night, after four years, Xiaoqian and I hugged each other again and slept together. She touched my tights, "What's that you're wearing?" It doesn't look like it's knitted at all! ”

I smiled, "It's not fabric at all, it's the result of the externalization of my mana, and I can make it disappear at any time." ”

I withdrew my mana and hugged Xiao Qian. "Xiaoqian, do you remember our promise to each other?"

"Oh?" She asked, "Have you been back to DD?" ”

"You touch it?"

"Oops! It's true! ”
