Chapter 48: Questioning
Torr...... Torr...... Torr......
The slow and heavy sound of each bamboo shoe falling on the floor was like a bell and a drum beating on the white fox's heart, and the equally heavy atmosphere in the vast palace made him even more depressed.
He didn't look at the ministers on both sides, it was conceivable that the leaders of the Holy King's Guard, the Heavenly Army Camp, or the Alien Spirit Army should all be here, but all he really cared about was the clear man sitting on the throne of the Danqi in the middle --- the wise and wise king.
Qianli Qiji sat indifferently on the cushioned Hu bed known as the throne, and didn't seem to care about the arrival of the white fox at all, just holding a book in his hand to read with relish, the tea stove on the table was steaming, and Mrs. Rudan's slender hand like white jade picked up the tea cup, and was gently sending it to Qianli Qiji's mouth, and the smile that had always been enchanting and charming also seemed much more elegant and dignified.
Qianli Qiji took a shallow sip of tea on Mrs. Rudan's hand, stared at the scroll without moving her eyes, and couldn't stop her jaw, but Mrs. Rudan chuckled and reminded: "They are here." ”
"Oh. Qianli Qiji raised his eyes and looked at the white fox and his party, the white fox and his eyes touched, only he felt clear as water, but he couldn't see the joy and anger, and he didn't dare to look at each other anymore, took a few steps forward, and knelt down in front of Danqi.
Without waiting for the white fox to speak, the Yueshi who followed closely behind him had already fallen softly, and couldn't stop howling and mourning: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty Your Majesty! The ministers are incompetent, the ministers are incompetent, and they are all dead...... They're all dead......"
The unruly and untamed wolf Howyue Shi actually cried bitterly in the hall of the Holy King of Fly Mountain, tears flowed freely, this is something that has never happened since he became a master, the demon ministers on both sides have their own eyes, and the Bichen Gong and Zhenshan Jun, who are also the four spirits, also showed surprised and unbearable looks, and the leader of the alien spirit army, who has always been at odds with the Waiyue Shi, even laughed secretly.
Only then did the white fox kowtow to Qianli Qiji in a slightly hoarse voice: "White Fox, the sinner of Fly Mountain, knock on my majesty." ”
Yingyu, Li Gongteng and Mu Ying knelt down in unison, with Mu Ying's posture being the most religious, his body fell to the bottom, his buttocks were pouted high, his limbs were prostrate, but his head did not dare to raise for a long time, which looked very funny.
Qianli Qiji slowly closed the scroll, and coughed a few times, and Mrs. Ru Dan cared deeply behind his back and patted it a few times, and the coughing gradually stopped.
"Ahem...... Get up and speak, our people are still fighting, but they are not still in the way of the Holy Gang Rites, and the Qing and others are the ministers of our people, so it is enough to save such red tape. Qianli Qiji brushed his sleeves indifferently, saying that, that Mu Ying still bowed three times and nine times to snuggle up to the etiquette, but let Qianli Qiji look at him a few more times.
The white fox got up according to his words, and silently retreated to the side with Yingyu, he knew that today's matter had just begun, and only one of the Yueshi who was still hanging his head and wailing was left under the Dan Qi.
"Oh Yue, if Gu is not mistaken, this is the first time you have cried since you refined the horizontal bones and stood in the Fly Mountain?" Qianli Qiji said softly, as if he was gossiping.
Qianli Qiji's tone made Yueshi cry, he raised his head in a daze, wiped the tears under his eyes, and looked at the wetness on his fingers suspiciously: "Yes...... Yes, Your Majesty. So this is crying, little goblin...... The little demon only knew at this time. ”
Qianli Qiji nodded: "Since you became a master, it has passed the number of one thousand and five, right?"
The word Modi immediately made Yueshi's heart tighten, and the glow in his eyes flickered, but he regained the memories of the past years.
Mordi was his name before he cultivated into a human body, and this name belonged to the head wolf of the vicious wolf pack that crisscrossed the Hexi Plateau.
The wolf in Hexi Zhongshan originated from the realm of Zhongshan Country in Hexi. It seems that he was born with a strange and fierce race. If you encounter a lonely traveler, the Zhongshan wolf always teases in every possible way, until the lonely traveler is exhausted and frightened, and then he bites and chews on his own, and often the screams of the traveler when he is dying are heard for miles, and the most ferocious is not. When the lone wolf encounters the enemy, it will lie on the ground and howl, and in a moment it can attract thousands of Zhongshan wolves, and attack it in groups, no matter how powerful the beast is, it can't withstand it. Over time, the Zhongshan wolves became the only overlord in that area, and even the invincible human iron horsemen at that time did not dare to provoke, so that in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Hexi Plateau has always been sparsely populated. And the proverb "Hexi mountains do not go to each other, and dangerous roads are more resistant to mountain wolves" has also been a road police training that has been passed down for hundreds of years.
It is this smelling and changing Zhongshan wolf pack, which has a leader at the beginning of the group, a cunning and fierce but extremely powerful head wolf--- Modi. This name was not given by the Moonmen themselves, but by the mouths of the hunters who had heard the long roar from afar on a cold moonlit night: cannibalism and greed like demons, fierce and fierce like Hu Di.
Mo Di led the wolves to roar on the Hexi Plateau for hundreds of years, and finally comprehended the blood spirit path under the influence of too many human flesh and blood, and absorbed the yin hua in the moon, and cultivated into a unique and powerful mana.
Mo Di has become one of the four most coveted masters of Fly Mountain since Sanjun and below, and his name has been changed to Waiyue Shi in a unified manner, but after a thousand years, the fierce blood belonging to the Zhongshan wolf in his body is still flowing.
All this, now that I think about it, it seems like a lifetime, and I haven't figured it out for a while, why would King Qiji mention this name that has been so long.
"The Mo Di in the lonely memory, bloodthirsty, brave, domineering and peerless, even the tiger and leopard have to retreat when they see it. So, please tell Lonely, ahem...... Why did you cry like an incompetent and useless coward?"
The Yueshi seemed to be touched again, and looked annoyed: "That's ...... That's because the ministers belong to the wind raiders, all ...... All of them died in battle, and the minister thought of these our fellows...... is sad in his heart...... "He didn't say wrong, when he was killed in the execution ground of King Qin Guangping in the past, he let him pretend to cry and didn't know why, but before, he naturally had a sour nose, sad in his heart, and involuntarily tears rained down. It's just that in this layer of pathos, there is a kind of remorse and fear that even he hasn't figured out, and it is vented along with the bitter crying for a while, and his mind is a lot clearer at this time.
Qianli Qiji sighed deeply: "Yes...... The Fly Mountain attacked the wind and the people, and the battle achievements were full of achievements, but in just a few hours, they were all wiped out...... Ahem......"
In a violent cough, the Yueshi fell to his knees again, stumbled his head again and again, and hit the floor with a loud bang: "The minister is guilty, the minister is incompetent, and he is willing to be punished by His Majesty!"
Qianli Qiji stopped coughing under the careful patting of Mrs. Rudan, put his right hand into a fist against his lips, and looked at Yue Yue Shi expressionlessly: "Since you are said to be guilty, I ask you, where does the crime come from?"
"The ministers were incompetent and did not notice for a while, which led to the defeat of the attacking wind and the destruction of the whole army......"
A force suddenly entangled around the body of the Yueshi in a silent and unconscious way, and the Yueshi only felt that his throat was tightly choked by this invisible force, and his whole body could no longer move, but he couldn't say any more words of guilt.
"Victory and defeat are a common occurrence in soldiers, and this is not the first time that our people have suffered such defeats. Learn a lesson from the defeat, and return it to the enemy next time with profits! Besides, those Qi Refiners have been entangled with our people for hundreds of years, how can they be so easy to deal with? It is reasonable that your entire army will be annihilated. ”
Hearing this, the Yueshi's heart was hot, if it weren't for the strength on his body that was still tightly locked, he would almost have to bow down and say yes, but Qianli Qiji's next words made the Yueshi's slightly warm heart gradually become cold.
"It's the ...... that I hate Hundreds of our tribes were killed in battle, and you were the commander, but you returned alone, and you were even more afraid, panicked and confused, you said, what is the use of you as a commander?"
"That's a good book! ahem...... There is merit in the front, there is defeat in the back, not for the damage!" Qianli Qiji raised the scroll he had just read, and the three seal characters of the "Book of Shang Jun" were impressively visible, "You have led the inherent merits of the wind people before, but this time the loss of the teacher and stealing his life is also unforgivable!"
"Your Majesty!" Bichen Gong and Zhenshan Jun changed color at the same time, they saw the killing intent of Qianli Qiji, and hurriedly flashed out of the ministers and knelt forward, the two demons were both uniforms, and this time the armor was sonorous.
"Although the sin of Hao Yue is unforgivable, but he has always been loyal to our people, and His Majesty Shang begged to spare his life and let him make meritorious contributions to his crimes. "Zhenshan Jun has read some human war books since he took charge of the Heavenly Army Camp, and his face is straight at this time, which is very different from the fierce and violent appearance of the past.
Mrs. Ru Dan gently handed over the teacup again, and her eyes were imprinted on Qianli Qiji's face, seemingly letting Qianli Qiji drink tea, but when Qianli Qiji looked at her, she nodded slightly, indicating her pleading. After all, the Yueshi is also her confidant's right-hand man, and she can't bear to see him punished like this, but she has been with the king of the world for a long time, and she knows the trick of courting for affection, so she didn't ask for help.
Seeing Mrs. Ru Dan's gaze, Qianli Qiji finally softened in his heart, but he still turned his head expressionlessly and snorted lightly: "Loyalty? Although he has no different intentions, he is greedy for love and lust, and indulges in lust at will, it is no longer the style of the wolf king of the past, and it is not a fool's dream to leave him guilty and make meritorious contributions?"
The words were said to Zhenshan Jun, but in the ears of the Yue Shi, it was even more terrifying, this greedy love and lust, wanton indulgence and indulgence of the eight characters are really appropriate, at that time, if he hadn't been prostituting himself in the Guangping Palace, and he didn't notice anything, how could he fall into the trap of the qi refiner? Fortunately, under the mistake of King Qiji, he made a plan and killed that Yunzi, so that he did not miss a major event. Yin Jian is not far away, but he still does not want to repent, not to mention that the banshee caught back some time ago is in his bedroom every day, that is, when the qi refiners in Guangliang City are quietly covering the net, if he is not addicted to the beauty of the world and neglects to be vigilant, how can he be caught off guard by the qi refiners?
"Your Majesty, after all, the song of the Fly Mountain, if you go to the second of the four now, the dust will be removed...... Bichen felt uncomfortable!" Bichen Gong looked lonely, his words were short, but everyone could hear the meaning, and because he heard it, he had a more sad meaning.
Fly Mountain Song sung, is the name of the three Jun and the four spirits, the three Jun lost two, that is the traitor rebellion, it is forgivable; that is, among the four spirits, the whereabouts of the Song Ke are unknown, and now if you really kill the Yue Shi, then the four spirits of the Fly Mountain, which was really famous all over the world, can only be regarded as disappearing.
Madame Rudan had already placed her hand lightly on Qianli Qiji's lap, which was not an intimacy, but once again expressed her pleading.
Qianli Qiji frowned slightly, but finally shook his head decisively: "Cure by law, punish with crime, and don't do more!" With a wave of his hand, the black qi on the body of the Yue Shi rose violently, and his body couldn't help spinning, gradually turning into a black mist.
"If you don't kill him with your own hands, you will be imprisoned in a tree prison, and you will be punished in public on the day of the big feast!"
The two silver-armored guards entered the hall, absorbed the black mist in their hands, bowed and bowed, and then withdrew.
Bichen Gong and Zhenshan Jun pleaded to no avail, so they could only sigh and retreat to the minister's class, with an expression of indignation on their faces, but Qianli Qiji had already set his eyes on the white fox.
The white fox didn't say a word from beginning to end about the punishment of the Yue Shi, and he knew that it would be his turn next, so as soon as he felt the gaze of King Qiji, he took a step forward, and when he knelt down, he still repeated the words he had said before: "White Fox, the criminal minister of Fly Mountain, knock on my majesty." ”
"You are a seven-trick exquisite heart, presumably you don't need to say anything, you should also know the Tao. ”
"The little demon queen is the last to learn, but within a few months, he will be promoted to the lord of the prime minister, ranking above all the same clans, all thanks to the appreciation and promotion of His Majesty of my king, although the body is broken, it is difficult to repay His Majesty's kindness in case of emergency. However, this defeat was caused by the little demon's own selfish desires, and he left his post without permission, but the same clan was killed, and the little demon was guilty. The little demon knows that His Majesty wants to set up the name of our tribe on the occasion of the meeting of foreign envoys, and to deter the heart of the race. The white fox said without pause, obviously thinking about it for a long time.
Qianli Qiji's eyes were obviously appreciative, and he even smiled: "You know the mistakes you made, that's enough." Thinking about love, although it is selfish, but it is also done to do the right thing and go along the way, it is not a big crime, and you have done your best in this defeat, so you don't have to be punished with that moon, and leave a body to do it, and join the prosperity of our people. ”
Qianli Qiji followed lightly: "If there is a mistake, you will be punished, and your prime minister will be exempted." Just like what you are wearing now, make a cloth garment of Fly Mountain, and listen to it in front of the palace!"
The board was raised high, but it fell gently, and the white fox was a little surprised, and hurriedly kowtowed to thank him.
"Yingyu, this is a great achievement, I will give you two Jiazi Yuan Dan, and give you a Fly Mountain Jue, second only to Rudan. ”
Ying Yu smiled, she didn't expect her to get such a benefit, and hurriedly bowed down: "Your Majesty Xie, this time it is not all for nothing, at least you have captured a prisoner, which always makes Your Majesty feel a little happy." ”
As soon as he stretched out his hand, a shrunken black crystal swept the ground, and the black smoke gradually expanded and expanded, until the black smoke dissipated, and a man in a green shirt with a burly physique appeared on the floor.
