Chapter 022: Nine Kings' Scheming

Jiuwang looked at the two people torn below, a trace of meaning slowly appeared in his eyes, and the corner of his mouth smiled: "Why is Madam so angry, since this servant girl is so loyal to you, let her accompany Madame, so that when you get to Huangquan Road, Madame will not be lonely." ”

As soon as these words came out, the city lord's wife and Ji Rou both changed color one after another. Especially Ji Rou, who looked vicious just now, but now she looked at the Nine Kings who looked up and smiled gently, and her lips were white and trembling, as if she had been blinded.

The city lord's wife has changed from the beautiful lady half a month ago to a pale and shriveled old woman, and her whole face and aura on her body have aged for decades.

However, she still glared at Ji Rou fiercely while the Nine Kings were not paying attention, and Ji Rou didn't know that she was frightened by the Nine Kings just now, and she lost her courage, so she let go of her hand at once.

I only heard her scold: "Get out! Mrs. Ben is dead, and she is also the lady of Zhao Guo who is crowned by King Zhao, so I don't need you, a low-born servant, to accompany me to the funeral! ”

Ji Rou's face turned red, tears were rolling in her eyes, and she looked at the city lord's wife expectantly, looking desperately trying to endure the grievances.

However, the white-faced coachman did not continue to move, and still stayed in place with the city lord's wife, and his gaze gently swept towards the nine kings. From the words just now, he felt that the Nine Kings had something else.

Sure enough, the Nine Kings laughed softly, looked at Ji Rou, who had shrunk to the side, and said, "Madam said that she didn't want you to bury her, what about you, do you want to die with the lady you serve?" ”

The Nine Kings were obviously asking Ji Rou seriously, Ji Rou bit her lip stubbornly from the beginning, and then realized that she was trembling later, she suddenly fell to the ground and began to kowtow non-stop: "Your Royal Highness the Nine Kings, please, spare Madame!" Your Highness ......"

Ji Rou looks like the city lord's wife, but she is younger, just the same age as a flower, so that face is particularly beautiful and moving compared to the city lord's wife, especially now with teardrops, because of the fear of trembling body, but anyone who has a little pity for the jade will can't help but feel pity for this girl from the bottom of their hearts.

The Nine Kings were men, and in this respect he should be like most men.

Ji Rou's age, coupled with the influence of the city lord's wife, has long been familiar with her charm, and she unabashedly revealed her heartbreak and despair, hoping that the Nine Kings would have mercy on her. That's what will turn things around tonight.

Ji Rou cried a lot, seeing that the Nine Kings didn't seem to have the intention of stopping, but she didn't say anything soft, Ji Rou's heart became more and more bottomless, but she could only cry harder.

In the end, the tears were really dry, and her eyes even became dry and painful because of too many tears, so she couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at the Nine Kings.

Jiuwang still maintained a faint smile, as if he didn't have any emotional fluctuations before and after Ji Rou cried. Ji Rou's heart sank to the bottom, and all hope was annihilated.

The Nine Kings said softly: "Miss Ji Rou, I see a touching look of pity, but she is very similar to Madame. ”

said that Ji Rou's appearance was moving, but he was clearly unmoved, and looked at the city lord's wife meaningfully.

The city lord's wife had weak legs and feet, and the white-faced coachman also let go of his hand at this time, and she collapsed to the ground at once.

Ji Rou looked at the Nine Kings and began to retreat continuously: "You are the devil, you are not a human ......"

The white-faced coachman's face turned cold, and his hand was already on the hilt of the sword, when suddenly the city lord's wife screamed and pounced on him and grabbed his hand.

The action stopped, but it was not because of the city lord's wife who stopped it, only the red waist who couldn't speak at the moment saw it, and the nine kings gave the white-faced coachman a glance while Ji Rou spoke.

That should be to stop the white-faced coachman from making a move, otherwise, even if a hundred city lords and wives come, it will be impossible to stop the knife just now.

But the lady of the city lord didn't know this, she saw that the white-faced coachman was about to draw his knife just now, and he had already collapsed, and climbed in front of the nine kings again, and hissed: "Tell me what you want, I am willing to give anything!" ”

The Nine Kings lowered their heads slightly, and looked at the City Lord's Lady at eye level, at this angle, he seemed to be a cruel and lofty god.

Jiuwang said: "Madam, the purple jade inlaid on the dagger was given to the adult royal princess in the palace of Chen Guo, and the lady just said to this king, this dagger was given to you by King Chen, could it be that at the age of Mrs., can you still be the princess of King Chen?" ”

King Chen is only in his first year now, and the wife of the city lord is at most comparable to him, no matter what, she will not be the daughter of King Chen, let alone a princess.

The words made the city lord's wife turn pale, and the gaze that looked at the Nine Kings was even more empty.

The Nine Kings raised their bodies, continued to look at the city lord's wife distantly, and said: "This king just said to his wife, and he is willing to listen to his wife's discernment, proving that he is giving his wife a chance, but the lady did not cherish this opportunity, but used another lie to deceive the king. ”

The lady of the city lord suddenly had a stirring spirit, and stepped forward to pull the robes of the nine kings, but was avoided by the nine kings. She cried and cried: "It's the concubine's mistake, the concubine is willing to die, I just ask His Highness to spare Ji Rou and the concubine's daughter......"

There seemed to be a silent thunder in the hall, and his face was still gray about the city lord, and he glared at the city lord's wife, as if he had been petrified.

Ji Rou's age is that she looks like she has just come of age, and the dagger was given to the adult princess of Chen Guo, and this princess is Ji Rou. The daughter born to King Chen and the wife of the city lord.

This can explain why Ji Rou was able to send that red dress instead of the city lord's wife, and it can also explain her transcendent and proud position in the mansion, of course the city lord's wife will not treat her daughter badly.

Everything seems to be understood, Ji Rou and the dumb girl made a scene, and the dagger was not stolen by the dumb girl, but Ji Rou secretly stuffed it to the dumb girl, so that when the red waist came to save people, the dumb girl could kill the red waist with the dagger, and even if it went well, the nine kings could also be removed, as long as the plan was successful, it would naturally be easy to sit back and relax in the future.

It's a pity that the plan is perfect, and the only thing that is not perfect is probably that the Nine Kings know it for some reason.

After Ji Rou heard the city lord's wife say it, she held her body with her hands and trembled, her three-point effect like the city lord's wife's face has now become her indelible evidence of the crime.

The Guan City Lord suddenly pounced towards Ji Rou, with a face full of hatred: "I'll kill you evil seed!" ”

Ji Rou has always been in a sluggish state, and when she reacted and wanted to hide, the Guan City Lord had already pounced on her, and she screamed in horror.

I saw a blood mist flying up, and the city lord's arm was broken, and he fell in front of Ji Rou, rolling frantically with the broken arm.

Ji Rou looked at him with palpitations, but on the other hand, she couldn't help but feel the happiness of the rest of her life after the catastrophe. Looking at the appearance of the city lord just now, he would kill her without hesitation.

The city lord's wife was still begging for mercy, hoping that the nine kings would surround her daughter, and seeing that the nine kings were indifferent, the city lord's wife suddenly glared at the city lord who was rolling on the side, and said: "As long as Your Highness is willing to let Ji Rou go, the concubine will tell Your Highness about the betrayal of the city lord over the years." ”

Although the city lord rolled in pain, when he heard this, he still looked at the city lord's wife in disbelief, as if he didn't know her.

The Nine Kings smiled lightly and seemed to sigh a little: "This king has always felt that Madame is really smart, for example, Madame understands very well that in order to achieve the goal, you have to come up with something to exchange. ”

The city lord's wife came to her senses, and she looked at the nine kings: "Your Highness, but you agreed?" ”

The Nine Kings said slowly: "Why don't you talk about it first, Madam, what the city lord has done." ”

The city lord's wife immediately straightened up, and there was no hesitation: "The city lord of Guan already knew the identity of the dumb girl, and he used his concubine body to give private advice to King Chen, and King Chen promised that as long as he annexed the Zhao State one day, he would let the city lord of Guan be a prince." ”

Speaking of this, she suddenly sneered: "The only thing he doesn't know is probably that the concubine has already had a daughter with King Chen, and she has been raised in his mansion." ”

The lord of the city shouted in pain on the ground: "Poisonous woman! Poisonous woman! ”

The city lord's wife suddenly glanced at him fiercely and sneered, "Poisonous woman? When you destroyed my homeland and slaughtered my people, you still coveted Rou'er's beauty and wanted to take her as a concubine, how vicious were you? ”

This couple is really a long-term enemy, but it is because of the creation that they have become such a deep fate.

Jiuwang said quietly: "In this way, Madam and King Chen are not a Pingshui meeting, but have long been in collusion, including the lord of Guancheng, who secretly reported to King Chen, and for many years just planned to treat Zhao Guo as a piece of good meat and give Chen Guo as a stepping stone." ”

The city lord's wife turned pale and said, "Yes." ”

The Nine Kings looked at her face: "Madame was a child of a tribe affiliated to Zhao State before, and her homeland was destroyed by Zhao State and she hated it, so she wanted Zhao State to taste the same taste of annihilation as your tribe." ”

For the first time, the city lord's wife showed a look of bitter hatred: "Not bad. ”

Jiuwang tapped his fingers on the table, and said lightly: "Well, Madam alone has such resentment, there are about 50,000 people in Zhao State, if the country is destroyed and the city is destroyed, the hatred of 50,000 people, is it necessary to step on every inch of land in the world to calm down?" ”

The City Lord's Lady suddenly froze, and she looked at the Nine Kings.

The Nine Kings said slowly: "Mrs. Fang Cai intercedes for Ji Rou, and this king is also a very fair person. My handmaid was pierced in the heart by your daughter's dagger, and if the lady's daughter had the courage to stab her in the heart as well, the king would never lift a finger again, whether she lived or died. ”

It means that life and death are fate, if Ji Rou survives, the Nine Kings will no longer embarrass her.

However, if you stab yourself in the heart, can you really live?

The Guan City Lord on the ground laughed wildly, as if he was crazy, if his wound was not treated, it was obvious that he would lose too much blood.

The city lord's wife said in despair again: "The concubine is her mother, please let the concubine stab this knife on her behalf." ”

Jiuwang said lightly: "This dagger symbolizes that she is an adult, and her parents will no longer bear the guilt she has committed, in addition, if the dagger is Mrs. 's, there is no need for Mrs. to ask for it, and this king will also let Mrs. receive the knife." ”

The words were so clear that there was no room for maneuver, and the city lord's wife collapsed to the ground, looking at Ji Rou in a daze.

Ji Rou went crazy all of a sudden, she jumped up quickly, pointed at the Nine Kings and said, "You can't kill me, I'm the princess of Chen Guo, if you dare to kill me, I will make you die without a whole body!" ”

The white-faced coachman's cold gaze had already looked at Ji Rou, and Ji Rou screamed as she turned around and ran to the door.

found that her feet couldn't move, and when she looked down, the crazy Guan City Lord was holding her legs with her remaining hand, laughing wildly.

Ji Rou cursed fiercely: "Let go of me!" You disgusting old puppet! ”

But no matter how she tried to break free, she couldn't take her leg away from the Guan City Lord's hands. And the white-faced coachman had already walked in front of her.

As soon as she saw the hand stretched out by the white-faced coachman, Ji Rou went crazy, and shouted frantically: "I tell you, if I die, the one called the red waist will not survive!" ”

For a moment, the Nine Kings looked at him coldly. The white-faced coachman also stopped.

Ji Rou laughed: "I don't know, she has already been pierced into the Fengchi cave by me with a needle, as long as she doesn't pull it out within five days, she will definitely die, haha!" ”

Only then did the Nine Kings look at the red waist behind him, and saw that the red waist had his mouth open, but he couldn't make a sound.

Ji Rou said fiercely: "I have long seen that this girl is weird, and she will not die if the dagger pierces her heart, but as long as the needle is there, she will never get up again in this life, and you don't think you can take the needle out!" ”

The city lord's wife seemed a little frightened, obviously she didn't know that Ji Rou had left this hand.

Jiuwang narrowed his eyes, "King Chen is really a good daughter of training, and even this king's side can intervene." ”

Ji Rou was very inward: "Let me and my mother go!" Otherwise, that girl will only die! ”

The white-faced coachman immediately turned around and walked back to the Nine Kings, and after glancing at the Nine Kings, he stretched out his hand and pressed it on the neck of the red waist.

A moment later, he exchanged glances with the Nine Kings.

The Nine Kings couldn't help but smile: "Coachman, since you can take the needle, let's do it." ”

Ji Rou's face couldn't help but change, and she said in disbelief: "Impossible, you can't take it out!" ”

The white-faced coachman only listened to the words of the Nine Kings, didn't even look at her, and immediately stretched out his hand and pinched the back of the red waist. I saw a painful look on the red waist, and slowly spit out a silver needle from the slowly open mouth. The white-faced coachman quickly pulled out the needle and released the red waist.

Ji Rou turned from hope at the beginning to despair again, she looked at the silver needle in the white-faced coachman's hand, and kept shaking her head: "Impossible, this can't be ......"

At this time, the city lord's wife, who had been sitting on the ground, suddenly became sharp, she took advantage of the nine kings' inattention, snatched the dagger on the table next to her, and then, with a flip of her wrist, she stabbed at the nine kings!

The city lord's wife had a resolute face, obviously wanting to fight to the death, how could she not let the Nine Kings execute Ji Rou like this!

The Nine Kings had also seen the dagger, and the City Lord's Wife, whether intentionally or unintentionally, was extremely close to the Nine Kings at the beginning, and at this time, even the Nine Kings couldn't dodge.

However, the time and place are favorable, and what awaits the city lord's wife is the same fate as the city lord.

I saw the white-faced coachman pull out with a knife, this time without mercy, he directly wiped the neck of the city lord's wife, and the city lord's wife fell in a pool of blood, and the dagger in her hand fell to the ground.

Ji Rou let out a scream, then covered her face, trembling like a sieve. The mouth kept saying: "I don't want to die, I don't want to die, I don't want to die......"

The white-faced coachman carried a knife, walked all the way, and blood dripped on the ground, and after walking to Ji Rou, he glanced at it and said, "She's crazy." ”

Frightened repeatedly, he has gone insane. A pampered princess of Chen Guo, she is not soft on killing, but she is afraid of death.

The Nine Kings slowly sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the blood on the ground, his face was pale, even in such a chaotic situation, there was not a single trace of blood on his clothes, and the white clothes were noble, like a god who did not care about the world.

But there is still a difference between gods and people, after all, the white-faced coachman said to the nine kings: "The one who really wants to kill His Highness is King Chen." ”

The Nine Kings lightly hooked their lips, and the white-faced coachman glanced at the Guan City Lord who was howling on the ground: "He must have a chance to kill His Highness, so he can use His Highness's life to curry favor with King Chen." ”

In this way, he can add another stroke to his merits, and when Zhao is annexed by Chen, his throne as a prince will be more secure.

In short, everyone has their own motives.

The Nine Kings glanced at the red waist: "Take her, let's continue walking." ”

The silver needle had been removed, the bleeding had stopped, and the red waist fell into a coma again, a bit like when she was lying in Yizhuang.

The Nine Kings smiled, as if asking the coachman, "You say, when will she know where she came from?" ”

The white-faced coachman didn't seem to hear this, perhaps, he knew, this sentence was not asked of him.

After a long time, a gorgeous carriage drove out of the old city that had been somewhat abandoned, the carriage was shaky, and the man sitting in front of the carriage was like a knife-cut face, handsome and ruthless dark and cold.

But there are a thousand things in the world, which is as simple as it seems?
