Chapter Twenty-Six: Ji Xia's Rebellion
Bai Yucheng smiled and looked at Albena.
This girl and him, as expected, are all the way, and they don't like to be indebted, and they don't do anything that is not profitable. Asai Bena will come, not only because of pure emotion, but also because Wu Yue is destined to weaken today, and it is wise to take the opportunity to win over the victorious side to bring down the powerful country and disperse the power of the average countries.
And Ji Ziqiu was unwilling to be defeated and killed herself. The civil and military attachΓ© who had just defected, seeing that the wind direction was changing at this time, hurriedly knelt down and shouted to Ji Jingchen Long live Your Majesty.
Wu Jinggong is dead, the eldest prince is dead, and the one who has the most inheritance rights must be the second prince Ji Jingchen.
The heavy responsibility of the Ji family suddenly pressed on him, and he couldn't breathe anymore. This long live is what many people dream of, however, this is not what he wants.
Bai Yucheng took advantage of the moment when Ji Jingchen was stunned, sprinkled a handful of incense in front of him, and flew out from the roof with two men in black. , Xiao Yige also evacuated the palace with Ji Lianmei and a group of soldiers.
"Chase, get the new emperor back, don't let go of any of the people who hold the new emperor hostage!" The leading general raised his sword and ordered the remaining Wu soldiers.
Asaibena ran to the frightened Tuoba Han and called him softly, "Father......"
"Ah, daughter, you're here, how about it, those people didn't hurt you."
"It's okay, Father, I'm fine." Asai Bena looked in the direction of Ji Yucheng and smiled slightly.
Bai Yucheng, I think we'll meet again.
Valley of Flowers, Heartless Cliff.
Ji Lianmei was knocked unconscious by Xiao Yige halfway, and when she woke up, she was lying on the edge of a cliff, and the young man next to her was sitting with his back to her, and the halo of the bright moon made his back look pale.
Ji Lianmei sat cross-legged beside him, looking at the bright moonlight from afar.
Under the moon, the young man in white stood like a Zhilan jade tree, smiling like the moon in his arms, his thin lips opened lightly, and he said indifferently: "If you have any doubts in your heart, just ask." β
"Why ask anything if you already know the answer? Even if I ask again, the answer won't change. Ji Lianmei said, "But now, Wu Guo and Liu Guo, I can't go back." β
Bai Yucheng created a rebellion in the palace, which must be related to the expansion of the territory, and the next Wu State will definitely be in turmoil. Moreover, what Bai Yucheng killed was her nominal biological father, as the saying goes, blood is thicker than water, and Ji Lianmei still has some mustard in her heart. Although this person has lost his mother and her, he is her biological father after all, no matter how much he hides a knife in his smile and kills people like hemp, this relationship cannot be changed.
"Lianmei, would you like to go back to the Great Song Dynasty with me?" Bai Yucheng lightly held Ji Lianmei's cold hands and said sincerely.
Ji Lianmei looked into his eyes, was silent for a moment, and said, "You give me some more time........"
"I suddenly felt a little bored, and I wanted to go around."
Bai Yucheng agreed: "Okay." β
The bamboo forest of the Desperate Cliff is vast and dreamlike. At night, the bright moon reflects the bamboo forest, sprinkling mottled bamboo shadows.
Bai Yucheng's words kept echoing in her ears, disturbing her uneasy.
Originally, after the Chonghuadian case was resolved and her mother was cleared of grievances, she should go back to her own time. There was still more than a year left before the five-star sun, and she was alone, and it was impossible for her to hide for so long under the pursuit of Wu Jun.
Could it be that he and Bai Yu will return to the Great Song Dynasty? He is the eldest son of the Great Song Dynasty, and after hearing that this battle has subdued the realm of Wu, he will be made the crown prince. And I'm just an exiled princess.......
Ji Lianmei felt inferior. The weak young man she once protected suddenly became the prince who commanded the three armies and shocked the side, and this contrast is really huge.
Just as Ji Lianmei was thinking about it, a hand reached out from the darkness of the forest and covered her mouth.
In this wilderness, she just went out casually, could she really encounter a robbery?
In her previous life, what she was most afraid of was the bandits who robbed money and robbed people and finally killed people. However, she hasn't encountered this kind of thing for more than 20 years, and now she has traveled thousands of years ago, but she bumped into her, and she chose her to live in exile when she was penniless.
Ji Lianmei didn't dare to move, nor did she dare to shout, for fear that if she was not careful, she would have to explain here.
"Shhh.....hhhhh
Ji Lianmei turned around boldly, saw Ji Xia's delicate baby face, and sighed long: "It turned out to be you, scared me to death." How did you end up here? β
"Sister Lianmei, I'm here to save you back, where is Bai Yucheng?" Ji Xia asked.
"He? He was on the edge of a cliff. β
Ji Xia smiled faintly and said, "Sister Lianmei, without further ado, let's hurry up." With that, he took Ji Lianmei's hand and walked towards the depths of the bamboo forest.
"Xia, where are we going......" Seeing that Lianmei looked around, quietly looking at the forest that had fallen into the dark, suddenly a gust of wind blew, whimpering, as if someone was crying and someone was laughing.
Ji Xia saw that there was no one around, and when she heard this, she suddenly threw Ji Lianmei to the ground with force, pulled out her long sword, and the blade of the sword was accurately pointed at her heart.
"Ji Xia, you ......."
The smile on Ji Xia's face gradually distorted, and her voice became sharp and hoarse: "Sister Lianmei, you didn't expect it, I came to kill you on the orders of my father." β
"Kill me? Why. β
"Hahaha, my good sister, you won't be unaware, since the day I sent you to kiss, my father has been planning to kill you, but you are lucky enough to avoid it every time."
Ji Lianmei thought back to the past, and her voice trembled: "So, the matter of Luochuan and the birthday banquet of Emperor Wu were all arranged by my father?" β
"It seems that my sister's memory is really good. Bai Yucheng is not by your side, you are a lamb to the slaughter, you can't escape from me, and I can't spare your life. Finally, what do you have to say. There was no hesitation in Ji Xia's eyes.
It seems that what he said is true, and the intention to kill her is also true.
The little boy who used to be pure and lovely, playing with her, was just a year old, but now he has a hideous appearance, pointing a cold sword at her.
Although she hasn't been with Ji Xia for a long time, Ji Lianmei cares for and likes this brother who is not related by blood from the bottom of her heart.
"Ji Xia, why did you become like this!" Ji Lianmei asked, "Could it be that you are also for that broken throne?" β
"Yes. I want to be the king of Megatron, and I want to protect my important people, not to see my mother and brother die like now, and I can't do anything about it. Ji Xia's eyes were bloodshot, and she looked excited.
Ji Xia's mother was the eldest princess of Chu State, and in the same year as Ji Jingchen's mother, she married Wu and Liu respectively as a princess of Heqin. Half a year ago, the Chu army invaded the border of Liu, and Liu Kanggong vented his anger on Ji Xia's mother. He drove the expedition in person, recovered the territory that had been taken from the Chu people, and beheaded Mi Anyue, cut off his head, and hung it on the wall of the border city of Chu.
And at that time, Ji Xia was at the scene, he was pressed to the ground by dozens of people, watching how Liu Kanggong tortured and killed his mother, and then cut off her head with a knife, but he couldn't do anything.
From that day on, Ji Xia understood why so many people wanted to be emperors, as far as the beginning of the establishment of the Three Kingdoms, and as close as their own brothers. They want supreme power, they want to take their fate into their own hands, they want to protect their beloved. Only by becoming the head of a country can these conditions be satisfied.
"My father said that as long as I kill you, he will put all the troops of Liu Guo under my jurisdiction, and I will be able to take one step closer to the throne, I don't want to, there are no more people who care about it and die, Sister Lianmei, I'm sorry......."
The long sword in his hand trembled, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and the clear light in his eyes returned.
In the final analysis, Ji Xia is still the kind-hearted Ji Xia, but for himself and the people around him, he has to choose to abandon his conscience to win a way for himself.
In any case, it is important to be able to survive. Ji Lianmei suddenly understood him a little.
"Sister Lianmei, I'm sorry for you, in the next life, I will go to the soup for you, and I will not hesitate." Ji Xia clenched the sword in his hand, and was about to slash it down.
A ghostly laughter suddenly wafted through the woods, and a black figure gradually emerged in the darkness.
"You, who are you?" Ji Xia asked.
The man just smiled and didn't answer. At this time, the person had come to them, and Ji Xia stabbed the sword in his hand into the person's body out of self-protection.
But the man seemed to be disembodied, and the sword pierced through his body.
He grabbed Ji Xia's neck, his voice was hoarse, and he said, "Ji Xia, the prince of Liu Guo, has the emperor's order, but it's a pity...... Today is your time of death. β
As he said this, the force in his hand increased. Ji Xia's face turned pale and turned purple, the sword in his hand fell to the ground, and his hands were pressed against his neck. After a while, he stopped moving.
Ji Lianmei only felt dizzy in front of her, and wanted to scream but couldn't.
He threw Ji Xia on the ground casually like garbage. Ji Lianmei knelt down and moved to Ji Xia's side, hugged him, and trembled and stretched out a finger to probe under his nose.
No breathing anymore.
Anger outweighed fear, Ji Lianmei's eyes were as cold as murder, and she calmly asked the man in black: "Why did you kill Ji Xia, he is just a child." β
The man's eyes shone with a sharp and vicious light like a falcon, and he gaggled and said to Ji Lianmei, "I saved you, you should be grateful to me." Moreover, this man is dying, and it is better for me to relieve him than to die in war, as in history. You should all thank me........"
"Ridiculous! How can a person's life and death be decided by you! You are acting against human morality, and don't define human life by your murderous heart. Ji Retorted.
This man is such a madman. Moreover, even if Ji Xia wanted to kill her, it was a last resort, he was originally a kind-hearted child, but in this war-torn era, it was really important to survive.
