Chapter 64: Death Together

Jiang Wan was also very relieved to see 012 so happy, but she would not choose to let 012 become a human now, after all, she was still in the Cheng'an Hou Mansion now, and it was really not good to have an extra sister out of thin air.

Soon, Jiang Wan found an excuse to go out of the house, and after she went out, Jiang Wan casually found a restaurant, asked for a private room when she entered, and then specially instructed the restaurant owner not to let others in to disturb her.

After Jiang Wan entered the room alone, Jiang Wan spent 800 energy points to let 012 think of whatever she wanted, and then pretended to be her sister.

"Little sister, can you close your eyes first?"

Hearing 012's words, Jiang Wan couldn't help but ask 012, "Why do you want me to close my eyes?"

"Little sister, I'm a smart and cute, gentle and lovely, empathetic good sister, just promise me, just let me keep a little mystery!" After finishing speaking, 012 also posted a coquettish and cute emoji in Jiang Wan's mind.

Seeing such a 012, Jiang Wan of course chose to obey it, she just agreed to 012's request in accordance with her usual style.

It was never because 012 praised her that she agreed, never, Jiang Wan told herself so solemnly in her heart.

"Okay." Jiang Wan closed his eyes after answering.

"Are you alright?" Jiang Wan asked out loud.

"Alright, young lady, you can open your eyes."

Hearing the voice of 012 in her ears, Jiang Wan slowly opened her eyes, but when she opened her eyes, she was stunned in place.

At the same time, Qi State, Linyu.

In the palace dungeon, a middle-aged man was lying on the cold floor of the prison covered in injuries, although his clothes had been torn by days of whipping, but it could be vaguely seen that the fabric of his clothes was not of extraordinary quality.

As for him himself, although he has been subjected to inhuman torture for the past few days, and even his face has become bloodless, but from the fact that he is still alive after suffering for many days, it can be seen that his desire to survive is very strong.

The man who was locked up in the palace dungeon was none other than the imperial relative who had rebelled, Qi Sixian, the king.

Qi Sixian was lying on the cold floor thinking about his failed life, he was not loved by his father since he was a child, and when he was a child, he still longed for his father to love him, but as time passed, he understood.

Just because he is a concubine, in the eyes of his father, he can only see his brother's eldest son, but he asked himself that he was not worse than his brother, and even he felt that he was far more talented than his brother, but in the end only his brother inherited the throne.

Even after the death of his brother, it was not his turn to take the throne, and he could only watch his nephew Qi Xuan succeed to the throne with his own eyes.

He originally thought that Qi Xuan was just a child, even if he was allowed to succeed to the throne, maybe in a few years he would be slowly stripped of his power and become a puppet king.

After all, just look at his brother, although his brother succeeded to the throne, but he was like a puppet, as the king of a country, the military and political power could not be in his hands.

Is it necessary to be such a king? Qi Sixian felt that he didn't need it, he would rather be a powerful minister than a puppet king.

Therefore, when his brother died, Qi Sixian never thought of competing for the throne with his young nephew.

He thought that a person like his brother would probably only have a child who would only eat, drink and have fun, but after many years, he really regretted his original decision.

When Qi Xuan first came to power, everything was indeed as Qi Sixian thought, but as time went by, Qi Xuan seemed to have grown up, he was not like his father at all, not only did he not look like his father, but in terms of ability, he far surpassed the previous monarchs of Qi State.

As Qi Xuan grew up, Qi Xuan not only took back all the rights given by the previous king, but also drove Qi Sixian out of Linyu and sent him to the borderlands, all of which made Qi Sixian feel like a dream, how could he be defeated by his nephew so easily.

Sometimes Qi Sixian even wondered if Qi Xuan was not his brother's child at all!

But he watched Qi Xuan and Qi Yun grow up with his own eyes, and whenever he had this thought, he really felt as if he was a little crazy.

How did this happen? Qi Xuan, he is not his brother's child, whose child can he be? Qi Sixian thought silently in his heart.

Recalling all the things that have happened since his rebellion, and looking at his current appearance, Qi Sixian always feels that there is a pair of invisible hands behind the scenes that are driving all this happening.

Although he did think about taking Qi Xuan's position in the past, after so many years, he didn't really care about that throne in his heart for a long time.

After all, although he is not the king of Qi State, he is in his fiefdom, and he is also the famous His Royal Highness King Cheng.

But a few months ago, when he returned home one day, he found that his wife and daughter had been poisoned to death.

When his dying wife fell into his arms and told him that his nephew Qi Xuan had sent someone to kill them, so that he would never have the opportunity to inherit the throne, he had the idea of rebellion.

Rebellion is not a simple matter, Qi Sixian thought that he still needed to prepare more before he could start the army, but at that time, someone presented him with Qi Xuan's private seal.

The man said at the time: "His Royal Highness King Cheng, now that we have this private seal, we can completely forge the king's royal pen and directly raise troops to fight Linyu, if you don't believe in the authenticity of this private seal, you can find someone to check it."

Qi Sixian did find someone to check it at that time, and the seal was indeed genuine, but when he asked where the person got Qi Xuan's private seal, the person refused to answer.

At that time, he was eager for revenge, so he didn't care about these trivial matters.

But now that he is in this prison, tortured every day, with nothing to do, now think about it, how could it be so coincidental in the first place? From the beginning of his rebellion to the destruction of the Qi State, it seems that it has not been more than three months.

At the beginning, he took a forged private message from Qi Xuan, and raised troops all the way to Linyu, except that it was a smooth journey at the beginning, and after being discovered, he fought with Qi Xuan's soldiers and horses and lost both.

When he arrived at the palace of King Qi, he didn't find Qi Xuan, but what about Qi Yun? If I hadn't been planning to plant a hidden stake in the palace of King Qi, I am afraid I would not have been able to find her.

Now that I think about it, it seems that it is too much of a coincidence.

Why did someone send Qi Xuan's private seal as soon as he wanted to rebel? And it was really a coincidence that the soldiers and horses of the Chu State came, but after he cleared the court, there was no one available around him, and the Chu State suddenly announced that he would send troops to King Qin and start a war with the Qi State.

To say that there is no connection in this, Qi Sixian absolutely does not believe it. Now he only hopes that his nephew Qi Xuan will be safe and sound, and after returning to the country in the future, he can kill these female deceitful villains in the Chu State.

Thinking of Qi Xuan, Qi Sixian inevitably remembered his niece Qi Yun who was disposed of by him early, but now there is no way to regret it, after all, people can't be resurrected after death.

Fortunately, he still remembered to let Wen Song handle Qi Yun's funeral well, otherwise he would be really sad now.

Before the city was broken, Qi Sixian had plans to martyrdom, and even ordered his cronies to execute the entire palace, including the fake niece Rong Xi.

And what about inside the city? also ordered the officials to lock the people in their homes, planning to burn them to death, after all, in Qi Sixian's view, the country is dead, and these people will definitely have a bad life in the future, so it is better for him to send them directly to reincarnation, so that they will have the opportunity to be rich in the next life.

He prepared poisoned wine for himself, but when he picked up the wine glass, he hesitated, he still put down the poisoned wine in his hand, he was a complete coward after all, he was afraid of death, he didn't want to die so early, he didn't dare to commit suicide, he didn't have the courage to commit suicide at all.

But Qi Sixian didn't run away, because he had no way to escape at that time, so he stayed quietly alone in the council hall, waiting for the arrival of the Chu army.

Since he didn't dare to die, it was better to wait for the Chu army to come, and let them kill him, so that he didn't have to worry about it here

Qi Sixian's heart thought so.

But what he never expected was that after the Chu army came, he did not directly execute him, but locked him in the dungeon of the palace.

Although he is tortured here every day, he is still alive and well, even if the conditions here are so difficult, Qi Sixian has been struggling to persevere.

Because now he has figured out a truth, as long as people live, there is still hope for everything, but if people die, there is really nothing.

On the bright side, now that Qi Xuan's whereabouts are unknown, what if he has the ability to gather a large number of soldiers and horses and old ministers to return to the country in the future? Therefore, Qi Sixian is still working hard to live.

Just when Qi Sixian was still brainstorming, bursts of footsteps came into Qi Sixian's ears.

Hearing this voice, Qi Sixian thought that it was someone from the Chu State who came to torture him every day, and he was also ready to be beaten, but he never expected that he would meet a person here who would never appear here.

The visitor was dressed in a black brocade robe, his long black hair was tied up casually, and a few strands were scattered on his shoulders at will, and the whole person looked lazy and complacent, as if he was not coming to a dungeon, but as casual as not knowing where to go.

Qi Sixian looked at the person in front of him, he didn't know why this person came here, shouldn't he handle government affairs in the Chu Kingdom? How did you come all the way to the country of Qi?

Could it really be that as he guessed, everything was caused by the Chu State behind his back? Qi Sixian couldn't help but think like this.

"It's been a long time, His Royal Highness Chengwang! Oh, it's wrong, it should be King Qi. But now, this title is probably not needed, after all, the Qi Kingdom is now gone." Chu Xingchen said casually.

It turned out that the person who came to the dungeon today was actually the monarch of Chu State-Chu Xingchen.
