Chapter 166: Choice
"I know?"
Xie Rin laughed, because he laughed so hard that the corners of his eyes were red.
"Not only did I know, but I also told Xie Zhang, and I also told ......"
"Who did you tell?" The emperor's eyes widened.
"Xiao Dingbei."
"You!" The emperor gritted his teeth, "You actually told him!" β
"I want to help you, let your father and son recognize each other as soon as possible, but unfortunately, after he knows the truth, not only does he not plan to recognize you as a father, but he also wants to...... Kill you! β
"No, Dingbei won't!"
"He arrived outside the city with a troop of cavalry a day ago, and why don't you think he went into the city? Why has Xie Zhang not moved for so long after he raised troops to force the palace? β
The emperor shook his head, "I won't believe your words!" β
"It doesn't matter to me whether you believe it or not." Xie Rin turned the knife in his hand, his eyes narrowed, "I just want you to realize how stupid you are before you die, you killed the son who really loved you, and spoiled those who coveted your throne or hated you." β
As he spoke, the blade was slowly cutting through the skin, and blood was oozing out.
The emperor was so frightened that his whole body tensed, for fear that if he moved slightly, the blade would cut his throat.
"Xiao Jiu, I was wrong, I shouldn't have framed your eldest brother, I shouldn't have poisoned your fifth brother and mother, can you spare my father?"
"Unless you can resurrect them all, can you do that?"
"Little Nine ......"
"It's a pity, you can't do it, so ......" Xie Rin's eyes lit up, "Go down and make amends for them!" β
With that, he used a force in his hand, and the blade immediately penetrated deep into the flesh, cutting the artery, and the blood gushed out.
The emperor still wanted to intercede, but he was speechless at once, and then he fell to the ground, and the blood pooled into a pool, and he died under convulsions.
Xie Rin threw the knife to the ground, didn't look at the people on the ground again, turned around and strode out. At this moment, the hatred that pressed on his heart dissipated in an instant, his steps had never been so easy, and his smile had never been so bright.
In the Chu Palace, Su Zhiwei and Old Man Bai sat in the courtyard, and Ming Spiegel came from time to time to report some of the outside situation.
"The king of Yunbei has attacked the city with a large army, and now he is fighting with the soldiers of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, and the peace is in chaos, and there is a fight everywhere."
Hearing that Xiao Dingbei had entered the city, Su Zhiwei immediately thought that Xie Rin and him had already come into contact, and the two of them should be together.
The old man Bai took a sip of wine and said, "You said that there is nothing to fight for that son, he is alone, and everyone betrays his relatives, but everyone still has to fight, and the head of the fight is broken and the blood flows, and the family is ruined." β
Su Zhiwei turned his head to look at Old Man Bai, "Some people see that son as the Ninety-Five Honor, and some people see that that son is still a cage." β
"Xie Rin and Xiao Dingbei, who do you prefer to sit there?"
Su Zhi smiled, "How dare I say this." β
"Xu is in your thoughts."
"What do you mean?"
"If you want to be a queen, they both want to fight for that son, and if you want to be free, they will reject each other."
Su Zhiwei shook his head, "I love Xie Rin, no matter what decision he makes, I will support and accompany him." β
"He doesn't want that."
"I know."
"If you give it to Xiao Dingbei, then Xiao Dingbei will snatch you away, will he still have the ability to resist?"
"No, Xiao Dingbei is not such a person."
Old man Bai lowered his eyes, and smiled after a long time, "The only thing I regret in my life is to watch my beloved woman marry my eldest brother, if I am given another chance, I will abandon everything and take her away." Back then, I and the emperor, weren't we the current Xie Rin and Xiao Dingbei, the throne and the beloved, the strong can make choices, and the weak can only cowardly accept reality. β
Hearing this, Su Zhiwei didn't understand it for a while, thought for a moment, and his eyes widened suddenly, "You...... You are the King of Pingyan! β
Old man Bai smiled, "It's me." β
"But King Pingyan shouldn't command the Pingyan army in Yancheng?"
And the old man Bai is a dramatist, how did he become one of the three kings, King Pingyan.
"The commander of the Pingyan Army is Xie Rin, I have long been out of luck since the Three Kings Rebellion, and I am too lazy to fight for justice."
Knowing that Old Man Bai was the King of Pingyan, Su Zhiwei was shocked. But if you think about it again, it's actually reasonable, Xie Rin can do so many big things, and he is so smart, there is naturally support behind it. Ping Yanjun is his support, and if he wants to retreat with his whole body, Ping Yanjun should also come to Pingdu at this time.
Sure enough, Ming Spiegel soon reported that the Ping Yan army broke through the north city gate, and they surrounded the Praetorian Guards of King Qi and Xue Huai together with the Yunbei army.
At night, King Qi and Xue Huai were defeated, and the two were killed.
Hearing that King Qi had been killed, Su Zhiwei felt very happy. At the same time, there was also the bad news that the emperor collapsed, and the outside throne was passed on by King Qi who broke into the palace and killed the emperor.
After the battle, the two armies began to clear the streets of the city, and waited until the next morning, when the sun rose, and both armies retreated outside the city, facing each other east and west.
The courtiers gathered urgently, but the emperor collapsed, the sky was about to change, and everyone was panicked and at a loss.
Since I want a state funeral, but before the state funeral, a new monarch must be established, who will the new monarch appoint?
Among the princes, naturally only Xie Rin can take on a big job, but there is also a king of Yunbei, his 30,000 army is still outside the city, if he is not ambitious, no one will believe him.
The establishment of a new monarch needs to be cautious, and several old ministers in the court stood up to preside, first set the regulations for the state funeral, and put the matter of establishing a new monarch after the state funeral.
After the next dynasty, Xiao Dingbei came to the gate of the Chu Wangfu with a team of people.
Xie Rin went down to the court with him, and at this time he was guarding in front of his house.
"King Yunbei, what are you doing here?" He asked with a smile.
Xiao Dingbei snorted coldly, "You don't pretend to be confused, this king is here to pick up this king's fiancΓ©e!" β
"Who?"
Xiao Dingbei gritted his teeth, "Su Zhiwei." β
"Tut, it's not right for King Yunbei to talk like this, she is not your fiancΓ©e, but the king's lover."
Xiao Dingbei's face darkened, "This king doesn't want to entangle with you, hurry up and hand over the people, otherwise don't blame this king for breaking through your mansion!" β
"How many people are you?" Xie Rin was funny.
"There are still 30,000 outside the king's city."
"It just so happens that there are also 30,000 troops outside the city."
"This king still has an army of 100,000 in Yunbei."
"This king also has an army of 100,000 in Xucheng, let's all transfer it to fight?"
Xiao Dingbei gritted his teeth angrily, "Xie Rin, if you want to be so unreasonable, this king will not be polite!" β
As he spoke, he jumped off his horse and raised his fist to rush forward.
"Stop!"
Su Zhiwei heard the news and hurriedly ran out.
Seeing her come out, the two immediately restrained their anger.
Xiao Dingbei was actually a little angry, his tone was not very good, and he said to Su Zhiwei: "Don't come here yet, come home with me." β
Xie Rin took Su Zhiwei's hand and raised his eyebrows at her, "We have already made a decision for life, you can't bear me." β
Xiao Dingbei saw Xie Rin holding Su Zhiwei's hand, and when he heard this again, his eyes were split, "Xie Rin, Lao Tzu is going to kill you!" β
