Chapter 451: If only there was a third option...
Li Ruiyun used murder as a threat to force the emperor to write a secret decree to lure Ling Yun and others into throwing themselves into the net, and the emperor was in a dilemma.
- Alas, it's too hard for me, if only there was a third option...... The emperor gritted his teeth and suppressed the bitterness in his heart.
Looking at the emperor's tormented expression, Ding Jiying opened his mouth in a low tone, "Your Majesty, don't write that secret decree!" Otherwise, Brother Ling and Prince Guangling entered the palace by mistake because of this scheme, and once they were ambushed, the consequences would be really unimaginable! β
"But Aiqing, if I don't agree to them, they will kill you! How can I bear to watch you die, I really can't afford to lose you loyal ministers and good generals anymore......"
"Your Majesty, the overall situation is important! In fact, speaking of which, what is Weichen's cheap life worth, compared to Brother Ling and Prince Guangling, it is really not worth anything; If Wechen's death can be exchanged for Brother Ling's life, and can be exchanged for the recovery of the Great Song Dynasty, Wechen will die without regrets......"
"Aiqing ......" looked at Ding Jiying's sad and painful expression, and the emperor felt that his throat was swollen, as if it was blocked by something, and he was speechless.
Li Ruiyun watched the tear-jerking interaction between the two monarchs and ministers from the sidelines, and then snorted and laughed, his tone was full of urgency, "What a touching scene!" A righteous and awe-inspiring one, looking at death as home; A deep and righteous love, reluctant to give up - now I just want to know, how did you gentlemen and ministers discuss after so long in ink? Your Majesty, have you thought about it? β
"......" The emperor hesitated slightly, Ding Jiying had already grabbed the topic one step earlier, "Think about it!" Li Ruiyun, you should completely dispel your despicable and vicious thoughts, and want to threaten Ding's life to force the emperor to write that secret decree and dream! β
Li Ruiyun looked up and down the person in front of him with lazy eyes, and sneered, "People say, 'Shibei three days, you should be impressed', Ding Jiying, I really can't see it, after so many years, you are no longer the Wuxia Ameng you were back then!" Okay, that's greatβnow I'll ask one last time, are you really determined to die for the faint man in front of you, and you're not afraid that someone will kill you? β
Ding Jiying's figure was unconsciously stunned, he bit his lip tightly, and smiled bitterly, "Of course I'm afraid, I'm scared to death." But no matter how afraid you are, you must first be worthy of your conscience in everything you do! If you do something as hurtful as you want to survive in the world, you might as well kill me, so-"
"So, you choose to dieβin that case, I'll fulfill your loyalty!" Li Ruiyun raised his eyes, and his long and narrow black eyes were surging with murderous intent, "Come on, take Ding Jiying down, cut out your heart, I want to see with my own eyes what your heart looks like, and make you, a playboy who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it before, become so persistent and determined!" β
What, disembowelment and heart-digging? This...... Isn't that scary? Ding Jiying's face immediately turned pale, and the blood on his body almost froze at that moment.
In his simple and simple imagination in the past, killing people was just a knife falling from the hand, the head falling to the ground, and the pain was only a moment, where did he think that there would be such a cruel and terrifying way to die, terrible, terrible......
The guards on both sides didn't allow him to think about anything, and escorted him to the outside of the temple gate.
Ding Jiying's brain was blank at this time, as if he had been drained of his soul, he had lost all his thoughts, and could only let those murderous executioners push him step by step towards the bloody and tragic place of death......
"Wait!" A voice with a little hesitation suddenly sounded, although it was slightly hoarse, but it revealed an unquestionable meaning.
Several guards were stunned for a moment, stopped, glanced at the person who had suddenly stopped them at that critical moment, and then turned their gaze to Li Ruiyun who was seeking instructions.
The person who spoke out was of course the emperor Zhao Yu.
"What, the emperor finally figured it out?" Li Ruiyun squinted at him, calm and relaxed.
The emperor slowly raised his eyes, and the dark eyes reflected the black air that covered the sky and the sun, "Let him go, I will agree to your request." β
Li Ruiyun gently outlined the corners of his lips, and his face was filled with a smug smile of the winner, "Those who know the times are handsome, that's right." β
He said, waving his hand at the guards; The guards did as they were told, and brought back the man who had been terrified.
Ding Jiying's teeth chattered and trembling at this time, and the cold sweat had already soaked the back of his clothes, if it weren't for the guards on both sides, he would have been paralyzed on the ground.
Even so, he still didn't forget his original intention, and muttered as if he was distracted, "Your Majesty, you can't promise them, you must not ......"
- Ding Jiying, you said that you have reached this point, why haven't you forgotten to continue to obstruct your emperor unremittingly!
Li Ruiyun rolled his eyes at him speechlessly, and coldly ordered the guards who escorted him, "Take him down first." β
The guards hurriedly answered, and dragged the man who was about to spoil their big things out at any time.
"You step aside, too." Li Ruiyun glanced at Zheng Yifei, the guard who stood beside the emperor without abandoning him, and said expressionlessly.
Zheng Yifei dared to say more, so he responded in a panic, and went out with low eyebrows.
In the huge hall, there are only a few people left in the emperor Zhao Yu, Li Ruiyun, and Baiyu Taoist.
"Your Majesty, please." The white feather Taoist priest pushed the yellow and clear silk brocade and pen and ink that had already been laid on the bookcase in front of the emperor.
Now it's ready to shoot and has to be sent. The emperor sighed resignedly, staggered to the bookcase, bowed his head and thought for a long time, before he picked up the pen with difficulty and wrote word by word:
He Aiqing Chenglin's cousin personally revealed:
It's been a few days since the last time I was in the palace, and I'm very worried; Is my cousin's trip going well, I don't know when the army will arrive in the capital?
Now Ding Jinzhi's letter has been handed over to Li Ruiyun by Zhou Huaiyi, but fortunately, Li Ruiyun did not find any clues; Everything is going according to your plan and I are going smoothly, Aiqing can only relax.
However, the most important thing is that I am now in the hands of the enemy and miserable, and I only hope that Aiqing will come to the rescue soon; And this is also a great time to help me out of the difficult situation.
After seeing the book, Wang Aiqing discussed carefully with Zhao Rui, the prince of Guangling, Zhao Xu, the general of Huwei, and others, and rushed to the palace as soon as possible to rescue the driver.
I would like to wish my cousin good health and a long and happy life on my behalf.
The book is not full, and the rest is waiting for the interview. β
Below is the date of payment and year.
Here, Emperor Zhao Yu stopped writing for a while, as if he was considering the words and highlighting the literary brilliance, and it took a lot of effort to finish writing this crucial secret decree.
Looking at Zhao Yu's reluctant and sluggish appearance, the anger that Bai Yu had suppressed in his heart was about to hit the top of his head, if it weren't for Li Ruiyun next to him, who was calm and calm, and gave him a strong look, he would probably have rushed forward and lashed out at the former monarch.
Now that he saw that the emperor's secret decree had finally been written, he let out a long breath from his throat, and couldn't wait to pick up this hard-won "treasure" from the bookcase and carefully handed it to Li Ruiyun.
Li Ruiyun's slender fingers pinched the silk brocade and "studied" it over and over again, and his face gradually showed a look of confusion and hesitation.
"Helper, what's wrong?" Observing the change in Li Ruiyun's expression, Bai Yu frowned slightly.
Li Ruiyun didn't answer, but turned his eyes to the emperor on the side with a little playfulness, "He Aiqing Chenglin's cousin - hehe, this title is a bit weird." β
"Cut, what's all the fuss about," the emperor pursed his lips, his expression was very disdainful, "Ling Yun was originally the eldest prince of the Hou Mansion, He Chenglin, the son of my imperial aunt, Princess Changqing, I don't think it's inappropriate to call him that." β
"......" Li Ruiyun choked in his throat, and he was speechless for a while; After a pause, he smiled awkwardly and opened his mouth, "The emperor is worthy of being the emperor, he is so sharp-tongued and awe-inspiring everywhere, and Li is willing to bow down." β
"Don't dare." The emperor snorted weakly, as if he didn't even bother to be perfunctory.
At this point, the purpose of this trip has been achieved, and Li Ruiyun has no intention of continuing to consume, so he turned his face and exchanged glances with Bai Yu for advice, and received a look of approval from the other party.
"Bring Ding Jiying over and let him pass this secret decree to Ling Yun immediately." Li Ruiyun's dark eyes were filled with coldness, and he ordered his henchmen and attendants in a deep voice......
