Chapter Forty-Nine: Forcing the Witch King
It is not in vain that he sighed, because the situation at this moment is too weird, in the original time and space, the Lunatic Cult has been disbanded, and the dense heads and decorations on the streets at this moment are clearly the Lunatic Cultists and the ignorant people of Nanzhao.
Moreover, the divine power of the statue of Nuwa made them travel through time, and the feeling of mystery and mystery was really amazing.
Xia Jie rubbed his fingers and nodded, "This should have been ten years ago." Remember, after Shi Jieren will force the Witch King to order the death of Queen Qing'er, you follow me, don't act rashly, no matter what happens, don't be impulsive. ”
Li Xiaoyao nodded knowingly and said, "Well, Brother Xia, I understand that things like Shi Jieren's summoning of water demon beasts to launch floods and the queen's transformation into stone statues cannot be changed...... Is that so? ”
"Yes, that's it, you don't care about anything else, everything is up to me." Xia Jie was also very satisfied with his cleverness.
Li Xiaoyao couldn't help nodding, and said with a smile: "Brother Xia, I also understand what you told the Holy Aunt before, and I can't interfere in the matter of keeping the queen's primordial spirit, all I have to do is to take Ling'er and Grandma Jiang to Xianling Island, and then arrange the formation......
I just didn't expect that the flood caused by the water monster would rush the water spirit bead to Yuhang Town, and it was picked up by me when I was a child, hehe, this is really a coincidence, well, leave these to me, and I just happened to go to see my aunt. ”
As they spoke, the street began to clamor, and the two of them walked forward.
The street is wide and cross-shaped, and when you come out of the path on the right, you will be integrated into the sequence of the people of the Nanzhao Kingdom on the main road.
The people of Nanzhao Kingdom all wore turbans and patterned Miao clothes, and in front of the crowd stood dozens of Lunatic worshippers wearing black clothes, red turbans and half a mask with a black face, which was equivalent to the religious emblem to distinguish identity. Not surprisingly, in a few years, the mask of the black face would be replaced by the brand of a crescent moon.
Above the street, there is a stone staircase surrounded by palace guards with halberds, and on the steps is a three-sided wooden screen, under which a man in a golden robe sits upright.
He is none other than the Witch King Zhao Ye, and ten years ago, he was very young, and he didn't look a few years older than Xia Jie, at best, he was twenty-five or sixteen. He didn't have enough heart to face the dense crowd in the audience, and inevitably showed some hesitation.
Li Xiaoyao and Xia Jie walked through the crowd and came to the front position, while the man in the center of the Lunatic Cultist in front of him with a disheveled hair happened to glance sideways with satisfaction at the people behind him.
Since Xia Jie solved the matter of Shi Jieren, he has been busy with his own affairs in the sect, so Li Xiaoyao knows Wu Wang and Shi Gonghu and others, but he only knows Shi Jieren's name and has not seen him.
At this moment, Shi Jieren is in extreme thinking, although his strength is not as good as ten years later, but the terrifying mental pressure is at its peak, so when the eyes of both sides are staggered in an instant.
Li Xiaoyao was swept away by those domineering eyes, instinctively feared, and gasped,
"Shhh...... Is that the Lunatic Cult Master Shi Jieren? ”
Xia Jie nodded, and didn't say much. "Yes, it's him."
After Shi Jieren glanced around, he didn't pay much attention to the faces of the two. He turned his head indifferently and stretched out his hand to slowly raise it towards the sky.
Suddenly, the people of Nanzhao who were talking to each other on the street stopped their voices, and the noise around them was empty and quiet.
Shi Jieren put his hand on his abdomen, leaned down slightly, and said coldly: "Your Majesty, you can start." ”
When Zhao Ye heard this, his expression suddenly became nervous, his mouth opened slightly, his brows were frowned, his chest kept rising and falling, and the entanglement in his heart could be seen.
"This guy is horrible."
Li Xiaoyao exclaimed in a low voice, he only knew that as soon as Shi Jieren let go in the future, Nanzhao Kingdom would be completely pacified. At this moment, seeing him move with his hands, from the Witch King to the common people, all obeying orders, he really knew how strong this sect leader was.
Looking at the people who looked up at him one by one, as well as Shi Jieren's cold and resolute eyes, Zhao Ye's heart twitched, and he raised his hand tremblingly.
This move undoubtedly affirmed the Lunatic Master's proposal and was his compromise on this matter.
In Li Xiaoyao's shocked eyes, the silent crowd around him saw this move, and suddenly burst out into an extremely strong sound wave, which was cheering and anger.
They all raised their hands and slammed the air into the air, their mouths erupting with cruel syllables, and they gathered in unison into one sentence: "Kill the queen!" Get rid of the demons! Kill the Queen! Get rid of the demons! Kill ......"
However, he was not only amazed, but as the Witch King moved, a guard with a chain in his hand paced out, and at the end of the chain, which was as thick as a baby's arm, was tethered to a woman with a beautiful face and rich clothes, flanked by halberd-wielding guards. was slowly pushed to the front desk.
The woman's expression was very calm, and in the process of walking to the front, she looked at the excited people of Nanzhao, with an indissoluble sadness in her eyes, but there was a kind of free and easy resignation.
"Brother Xia, are they?!" Even if Li Xiaoyao knew that the whole people were willing to kill Qing'er, he was still completely shocked when he was on the scene at this moment.
Xia Jie was very calm, touched his shoulder, and said casually: "Don't speak, look carefully." ”
At this moment, Shi Jieren also smiled suddenly, looking up at the meeting between the witch king and the queen, wondering if they would show the so-called love between them in this situation.
If the witch king gave up the throne, no matter how much the Nanzhao Kingdom pleaded, he insisted on letting Qing'er go. In the same way, if Qing'er shows her true body, or breaks free from the shackles with the power of Nuwa, she is willing to abandon her people and the witch king. That proves that there is really that kind of unswerving love between them, which transcends everything.
In this way, Shi Jieren's goal will be achieved, and he will no longer use force to coerce, and he will not have any follow-up, because this is a test.
Zhao Ye looked at the chains on her body and muttered, "Qing'er, I, I'm sorry for you......"
It is true that he is the emperor of Nanzhao, but his position must be constrained by all aspects, and when the whole country unanimously demands that he execute the queen, then what else can he do?
Qing'er smiled indifferently and comforted: "Your Majesty, I have never blamed you, I know that for the emperor, convicting me is more difficult than any decision." ”
The starting point of the two is not themselves, but they are limited by the responsibilities on each other's shoulders, and this answer is undoubtedly unwilling to be seen by Shi Jieren.
He broke the words of the two in a cold voice, and his voice resounded throughout the street: "She is the devil who subverts the country!" Damn it! "Since you're saying it's difficult? Then I'll add another fire and force you to make a decision!
And the people around who had been fooled and trusted the Lunatic Cult heard this, and they all echoed: "Kill!" Damn it! Should......! ”
The crowd on the field was full of voices, all of them were obedient to the meaning of worshipping the moon, which made Zhao Ye's sense of humiliation deeper than fear.
He gritted his teeth angrily, turned his head sideways and glared at Shi Jieren, and scolded: "Sect Master, why do you think that the queen is a demon? ”
Shi Jieren was not afraid at all, and shook his head indifferently and said: "Your Majesty, don't be confused by demons anymore, you have to be aware of it!" ”
As soon as his voice fell, the people of Nanzhao Kingdom became excited, feeling that they were the smart man who knew everything, and shouted: "Kill her, kill her!" ”
Shi Jieren did not directly find out that Qing'er was the identity of Nuwa's descendant, and he was still forcing Zhao Ye to make a decision. Kill the Queen? That's not his purpose at all!
To be honest, if you want to talk about power alone, where does Zhao Ye have the majesty of his Moon Worship Sect Master at this moment? If he really had any other ideas, I am afraid that this Nanzhao Kingdom would have been pocketed by him a long time ago.
Zhao Ye's questioning was not effective, but aroused a more fierce resistance from the masses, he couldn't help but be a little anxious, raised his hand and pressed it, and shouted: "Quiet, quiet!" Be quiet!! ”
But it backfired, and the people's call for "kill her" became higher and higher, and no one obeyed Zhao Ye's instructions.
Looking at Zhao Ye's distracted expression, Shi Jieren silently raised his hand again, and after his arm was raised above his head, it was like turning off the audio switch, and those people immediately stopped talking, and the street returned to the silence before.
"Knock ......"
Zhao Ye collapsed on the wooden chair as if he had been drained of his strength, this is the force majeure factor, the whole Nanzhao Kingdom obeys the order to worship the moon, even if he still has some personal guards who can kill the people here?
He could imagine that if he sent troops to clear the Lunatic Worship Sect at this moment, within a day, the whole country would rebel, this was the trend of the times, and his strength alone was irreparable!
After Shi Jieren stopped the shouts of the people, he looked at the two people on the stage indifferently.
"Your Majesty, there is no turning back, you can make a decision." Qing'er comforted very calmly.
And these words also made Shi Jieren frown, and Zhao Ye shook his head again and again, "No, I can't make this decision." ”
Qing'er smiled and said slowly: "Our people have been bewitched by the moon worship, and you and I can't do anything." ”
"......" Zhao Ye was silent, he got up slowly, his face was extremely entangled, as if he was about to give an order to kill the queen.
And Shi Jieren raised his eyebrows, feeling that this situation was not what he expected, the current witch king has some signs of love, but Qing'er wants to die generously?
He didn't want to see this matter end, forcing the Witch King to kill the queen was not his purpose at all! He coldly turned his head and ordered: "Kill the queen!" ”
As soon as his voice fell, the people around him were a little mistaken, and shouted again stupidly: "Kill the queen, kill the queen!" ”
However, this is not what Shi Jieren meant at all, he felt that since the persecution of words was useless, he should take action, and use the most intuitive rebellion to make Zhao Ye and Qing'er understand that these people no longer obey them, and it is time to abandon righteousness and choose love.
So Shi Jieren snorted coldly again: "Kill!" Empress! ”
