Chapter 167: The puppet in the palace
readx;? Just in early autumn, the begonia flowers in the palace have not yet bloomed, and the guards in the palace know that His Majesty the Emperor loves begonia flowers the most, and every year when these begonias are in full bloom, they will be like flames, making the whole imperial city beautiful.

Zhang Jingyao loves begonias the most, but he doesn't like this kind of flower, because those fiery red flowers seem to him like a sea of blood, giving him a bloody feeling, which is irritating, even though his hands are also covered with blood.
Although in the eyes of many people, he is Zhang Jingyao, and Zhang Jingyao is him, but in the final analysis, he is just a puppet who wears Zhang Jingyao's skin and gives orders here.
"Let me tell you the truth, the alliance leader is already planning to give up Zhang Jingyao, so if you cooperate, the alliance leader will be of other resignificance, otherwise, you know your results. In the imperial study, Xiao Zhi looked at the figure in front of him, and snorted coldly after saying half of it, some things don't have to be said in full, sometimes it is better to say half of it.
The person with the same face as Zhang Jingyao looked at each other, not surprised or afraid, but said, "I don't know what the leader of the Xiao League needs me to do?"
Xiao Zhi looked at the person in front of him, a trace of appreciation appeared on his indifferent face, he took out a blood-colored jade gourd from his arms, gently handed it to the other party, and said, "Find an opportunity to stab this jade gourd into Zhang Lingxi's heart, and your task will be completed." ”
This jade gourd is slender in shape, the mouth of the gourd is a little sharpened, flashing with an awe-inspiring cold light, dark red color, as if it contains demonic blood. When this person heard Xiao Zhi's words, his face was indifferent after hearing the amazing news before, and there was a slight change at this moment.
His palms were stiff there, and he didn't dare to pick them up again.
A cold look appeared on Xiao Zhi's face, with a slight hint of sarcasm: "What's the matter, I regret it now?"
"Didn't you say you were going to kill Xun Qiu? how could it be ......" His lips were a little dry, and he didn't look very angry, and it looked a little fake.
His face wrinkled, and the wrinkles on his skin seemed to have some traces of manual treatment at this moment.
"There are only two kinds of people alive in the Six Paths Alliance, one is someone who has no problems, the other is someone who has a problem but will not ask and will only carry it out, and as for the others, they are all dead, or about to die. ”
He looked at the Dharma Protector in front of him, who was extremely powerful in the Six Dao Alliance, the identity of the Dharma Protector and his super cultivation did not bring him much solemnity, but the upside-down triangular eyebrows, slightly collapsed nose and thin lips looked extremely disgusting.
"Don't waste time on things that are not possible, it's rare for the alliance leader to value you and make the most important choice you should make at a critical time, so that at least you can still ask for some basic things, such as strength and life. ”
"I'll give you ten minutes to think about it. ”
Xiao Zhi had a smile on his face, but this kind of smile was more ugly than hideous. After he finished speaking, he pushed open the door of the imperial study, and under the light of the moon, his face became even paler, as if he was not a living person, and his smile was strange and terrifying.
Xiao Zhi disappeared into the night, leaving the masked man sitting in the imperial study, watching the dark red gourd fall into a state of stupor.
He remembered what Xiao Zhi said before, and then thought about the fact that he had been the emperor of the Kaiping Empire here as Zhang Jingyao for more than four years, and many things before seemed to have become a little trance.
Only then did he really understand that he was not the real Zhang Jingyao, and the real Zhang Jingyao had begun to be given up by Xiao Wuji, so with Xiao Wuji's style of doing things, he naturally understood what he was thinking, why did he let him do this?
Isn't Xiao Wuji worried that not only will he not do what he says, but will poke it all out?
And why did they set their sights on Zhang Lingxi?
He thought hard and couldn't understand, but his mind lit up for no reason, and he thought that Xiao Zhi walked out with his hands behind his back before, with a smug and mocking smile on his face, and there was a taste of control in the depths of his eyes.
That feeling of winning is not only because his strength is weak and it is difficult to disobey the meaning of the Six Paths Alliance, but also includes other things.
He thought of the jade plate that Xiao Zhi was holding in his hand, and then he suddenly got up from his seat, his body was trembling, and there was anger in his eyes, but his feet did not dare to take another step.
Although Xiao Zhi disappeared, he knew that the other party was in this palace, and Xiao Zhi also clearly knew that when he found out about this matter, he could only freeze here, not daring to go to him and say a word.
And he's going to really do what the league asks him to do.
Xiao Zhi is very smart, he is the think tank of the Six Dao Alliance, and he has made suggestions for the Six Dao Alliance over the years, and has achieved very good results. Xiao Zhi knew that Zhang Jingyao could not be loyal to the alliance, and if the true situation of the matter back then was discovered by Zhang Jingyao, he would completely tear his face.
It's just that it doesn't matter if he tears his face, the alliance has been guarding against Zhang Jingyao for a long time, although this Zhang Jingyao in the imperial study is still a puppet, but he is not the person Zhang Jingyao thought.
The most successful plan is to make the opponent's henchman his own person, this move can often play an extremely important role, there are many ways to make the other party his own person, but in Xiao Zhi's opinion, the most useful way is to pinch the person the other party cares about the most in his own hands.
In short, threatened!
This move is ruthless, but Xiao Zhi doesn't remember how many things he has done over the years; this move seems to be very low-level, but it doesn't matter if it's low-level or not, as long as it can play a role.
This is also an important reason why Xiao Zhi has been able to play a pivotal role in the Six Dao Alliance over the years, he is ruthless, so he has many means to achieve his ultimate goal.
Zhang Jingyao in the room took off the mask that had been changed on his face, and his young face appeared.
He picked up the bronze mirror on the table, although the empire of the secular world cannot be compared with the immortal mansion, but these material conditions are abundant, this bronze mirror is polished extremely bright, and his face is reflected more clearly.
This clarity even reflected the sharpness of his eyebrows and the blood-red in his eyes, which made him feel very uncomfortable, because there he seemed to see what he had done all these years.
Some things seemed meaningless to him in the past, but now they were like a thorn in the face, making him begin to wonder what he was doing on the path of cultivation.
Is it calculation and murder?
His eyes were still very bright, but the depths of his eyes seemed to be soaked with a trace of dirt, which was not coming out, and his face was still angular, but sometimes there was a faint gray under the skin, and then it quickly disappeared.
No matter what he did, it started to affect him, and it was getting worse.
Since the end of the rookie battle five years ago, he has been staying in Linjing City as Zhang Jingyao, and in the past five years, she has been to the palace several times, but most of the time, even if she is in Linjing City, she stays in the princess's mansion alone.
Either go or stay, never tell him, he knows what kind of gully is separated between her and Zhang Jingyao.
He even began to feel a little distressed, he used to be crazy, persistent, and did not hesitate to take risks and unscrupulous means in order to pursue high strength, but his life in the past few years has changed his mood slightly.
Maybe he was wrong, he once gave for what he was pursuing, and as a result, he was getting farther and farther away from his original thoughts.
He thought of Zhang Jingyao, in the eyes of many people, Zhang Jingyao was a real villain, cruel and crazy, obsessed with killing, but sadly, in the eyes of Xiao Zhi or some others, Zhang Jingyao was just a chess piece, and he used to be Zhang Jingyao's chess piece, and now someone wants his plan.
The chess piece is his fate, from here to there, the master is different but the same, as long as he is completely worthless, whoever stops in his hand will crush it.
It is said that the strong take the world as a chessboard and the lives of all living beings as chess pieces, Xiao Wuji, the leader of the Six Dao Alliance, and his right-hand men are under the banner of the idea of the common people, and they are used as bargaining chips for feelings, family affection, and people's hearts.
But what can he do? In the eyes of those people, he is simply weak now, and the so-called appreciation may only be able to help them in the present.
He put away the dark red gourd, then opened the door to the imperial study, and sent all the guards around him away.
"It looks like you've made a wise decision. When the door of the imperial study was closed, Xiao Zhi had already appeared in the room, he sat on the dragon chair, looked at the people standing on the side and waited quietly, and smiled.
I don't know who they are, but anyone who just sees these two faces will definitely think this scene is a little weird.
"Dharma Protector, what should I do?"
"You're her father, and you're asking me what to do?"
Xiao Zhi felt a little funny and said with a sneer.
The people on the side looked at the smile on Xiao Zhi's face, and they didn't feel relaxed, but their faces were even paler, Xiao Zhi was wearing a black robe, and a pair of black hats were worn on his head, and the light didn't seem to shine on his face, making his face extremely bleak.
Xiao Zhi looked at the tense body on one side, smiled, and then said calmly: "If she doesn't come, you will go, and do this before Xun Qiu arrives in Linjing." ”
Xiao Zhi looked at the porcelain cup on the table, this is a special precious tea for the palace, it was poured to the emperor by the maids in the palace before, and their majesty obviously didn't have the heart to drink this cup of tea after seeing him.
Maybe it's because time has passed, and the color of the tea in the cup is darker.
Xiao Zhi looked at the slight brown in the teacup, and a smug smile appeared on his face, he looked at this cup of tea for a long time, as if he could see through the cup in front of him.
"Show me your results before dawn. Xiao Zhi drank all the tea in the cup, feeling a sweetness beyond the original taste of the tea flowing down his throat into his heart.
Everyone in the world wants to be the emperor, and if you put aside cultivation and the pursuit of the upper realm and immortality, the emperor is very comfortable.
