Chapter 143: Quelling Civil Strife

Recently, there have been some strange things in Dongze, there are often black crows in the sky, and the ground is also full of poisonous insects, which disturbs the people of all tribes in Dongze.

There is a rumor that this strange appearance is a sign of the general's punishment due to the king's immorality. The clansmen of many tribes began to flee westward with their families, and the leaders of the various tribes also began to have resentment against the Nine Hearts, each with their own concerns.

Just like Guiyan's, the master took four senior brothers to fight in Dongze, leaving only Bujan and Wu to guard the Xiyi Immortal Mansion.

On the day of the master's departure, the dance was reluctant, and she sent it again and again, until she couldn't send it again, she felt so uncomfortable that she couldn't help but shed tears, "Take care of the master!

"Qing'er, calm down and recuperate"

"Yes, master, you must take care of yourself, you are all incompetent and unfilial......

"Alright, let's go back"

"Senior sister, when the senior brothers bring you good wine, let's get drunk and rest."

"Okay, brother, thank you! I will miss you."

"Senior sister, what's wrong with you, what's wrong? so many sentimental ?......"

“......”

Sending away the master and brothers, the dance was sad and shed tears. In the evening, she received a contact from Qing, and she found that the prince had lost a lot of weight, but he was still handsome.

In the jade mirror, Qing asked with a hint of disgust: "Something, is there anything, take medicine well?"

When Wu heard this, he knew that Guiyan had a big mouth, so he took the initiative and sued Qing Xian.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, what is Guiyan messing with you? Oh, you don't know, Guiyan is really too much, he poured a big bowl of soup medicine into my mouth at once, I was almost choked to death, if I was really choked to death, I would never see you again." His Royal Highness the Prince, when you come back, help me teach him a good lesson, and see if he dares to bully me in the future?

Listening quietly with the corners of his mouth raised, his eyes were full of spoiling, and he felt that the lively dance was really cute. She is really, like a rabbit when moving, like a virgin when she is quiet, like an old master when she is profound, and she is very fresh and interesting in ever-changing.

Watching the dance is in a good mood, and there is nothing wrong with the body, and Qing also wants to tease, "Dance, you don't drink medicine, it's you who ...... Or are you wrong? He fed you medicine and was good for you...... Or is it bad for you? You tell Benjun that I should teach him a lesson, or who should I teach him?".

"Ah?!......h

Wu was stunned by the question, and dared to fall in love for a long time, but he still made himself a nobody.

Seeing Wu's deflated appearance, Qing laughed, "Hahaha, Wu, this gentleman won't teach you a lesson, but you need to ...... Give me a clear answer, when will you ...... Marry me?".

Wu lowered his eyebrows, and suddenly became listless, "Alas...... Your Royal Highness the Prince, you are so busy, how can you still think about these things? I, I ...... I haven't figured it out yet?".

Qing has a sense of powerlessness for Niu to play the piano, and he doesn't want to be entangled with Wu at this moment, knowing that she is afraid of getting married, and she is very afraid, he still needs to guide slowly.

"Hey, Deer Dance, do you want to drag it again?" "Pleasing to the eye" has already been rebuilt, don't you think about changing the hexagram again?...... That's it, I'm too lazy to discuss with you, and when I'm done with this paragraph, I'll ask for your master's consent when I go back, and tie up ...... Just throw it into the sedan chair, hum, I can't help you at that time...... Have you thought about it?"

Wu pouted, "Hey, don't be so irritable! Is it okay to have something to say? The prince of the dignified clan, if he dares to ignore the law and marry and rob by force, wouldn't that be a ...... Big joke?".

"Deer dance, Benjun has been good for nearly 10,000 years. The prince of a clan can't propose marriage for 10,000 years, so it's ...... It's the big joke."

Wu knew that he was at a loss, and said mischievously: "Hey, His Royal Highness the Prince, don't worry, good things are grinding, good things are grinding, grinding...... for the better".

Wu is very miserable in her heart, knowing that her life is not long, if she marries, and accidentally has children, it will definitely bring them endless sorrow, and she can't get married in this marriage.

"Alas, what an obstacle! Hmph, sooner or later I'll have to be by you."

Wu didn't want to dwell on this, so she changed the topic, "No, no, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a little sad, I feel so distressed, how can it be?...... Alas, no more so, His Royal Highness the Prince...... Is it going well? Take care of yourself?".

Qing Leng snorted, "Hmph! and deliberately diverted the topic, just wait, see how I ...... Throw you into the sedan chair. I'm fine, don't worry! Relying on the support of the demons behind the back, Hongmeng, who provoked the war, has already been caught."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what are you going to do?"

When Qing is reviewing the recital, he often reviews while chatting with Wu in the jade mirror, chatting about related topics, Wu's thinking is very clear, he sees the problem very accurately, he is rational and has a high degree of dealing with the problem, and he can often give him a lot of guidance, and suddenly open the mouth.

The most inseparable thing is the tacit understanding with the dancing heart, so the two are not only lovers, but also like-minded bosom friends and mentors.

Qing sticks to his feelings and remains unchanged for thousands of years, and the truth in this is not something that can be understood by women who only know jealousy and only weigh skin.

Looking at Mai with big eyes flashing, Qing asked, "Mai, if it were you, what would you do with this?"

"What to do? Let me think about it...... That Hongmeng can't stay any longer, the opportunity has been given to him, the evil nature is already difficult to change, kill one to make an example, in order to set an example, well, let him die...... It's worth a little bit, and it's a good deterrent, those bad tribes"

Looking at the dance with his fingers tapping his head, Qing also stared and thought, this was in line with his thoughts, so he continued to ask, "What about the king?"

"Hmm?...... As for the king, I don't think it's necessary to be harsh, and it's better to keep three points. Only...... Just, beat him hard, he should be punished for making mistakes, if he wants to beat, he will be beaten hard, hurt him, beat him for fear, beat him until he has palpitations, and he will not dare to commit it again in the future."

Qing pursed his lips and said sarcastically: "Dance, it's ruthless enough......! Cure you?".

Knowing that Qing was making fun of himself, he didn't care about the dance, so he continued: "Cut, boring! I think that with his pampered appearance, he will definitely beg for mercy and confess his sins, and his sisters and the brother-in-law of the North Sea King will also intercede, His Royal Highness the Prince, let people go...... Buying people's hearts. In addition, he appointed wise and loyal courtiers to assist him, and so on...... You can take care of the mushrooms."

Looking at the flashing and wide-eyed dance, Qing smiled and said fondly: "Thing, this gentleman really wants to smash it, your braincase, look inside...... What's in it?".

Wu naturally understood that Qing was very satisfied with the suggestion, and deliberately used the topic to make a pun: "Hate me so much?" If you really want to break it, Wu won't be able to live, if there is a ...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, suddenly thinking of me, that ...... Where to find it?".

As the sadness in the heart of the dying person, he said with affection: "Dance, I miss you now, I want to, I want to kiss you, I want to, I want to, you ...... Be my woman".

Wu shook her spirits, imitating her as a scholar, Qing Zeng fierced her tone, "Hmph......! Can you do a good job of messy things? If you make a mistake again, this gentleman will not spare you."

The dance imitated vividly, which amused Qing, "Hahaha, hey, this gentleman is ...... to you. It's not that fierce."

"Hmph......! Much more powerful, those days...... Whip, hit on the body...... How much it hurts, do you know?"

There was a look of annoyance on Qing's face, "I know, dance, I'm sorry! In the future, I will never beat you again, I swear, I will spend the rest of my life...... to compensate you".

"Hmm!", Mai whispered, believing Qing's words.

Qingshui pressed his head, rubbed it, and said tiredly: "Dance, I've been really tired these days, you can play a tune and let me relieve my fatigue, okay?"

Looking at the haggard face on Qing's face, Wu was also very distressed, "Okay! You lie down now, hey, cover up... Close your eyes, and when I finish blowing, you will be sweet and beautiful...... Get some sleep".

"Well, it's like putting my arms around you...... Sleep, just as sweet!"

There were provocative love words on his mouth, he didn't have to open his eyes to see it, and he knew that Wu was blushing from time to time.

Wu was really blushed, looking at Qing who was closing his eyes and pulling his lips and smiling, she wanted to be scared, but she moved her lips and chose to close her mouth.

Although it is not easy for her body to control the sound of the flute, the ice dragon flute can pull the spirit of Rao Shensi, and it can make Qing sleep well.

Put the jade mirror next to your ear, close your eyes and wait to listen.

The flute sounded melodiously, bringing the Qing in, a clear clear sky on the clouds, there is a trickle of green fields under the sky, wild flowers everywhere are like splendid carpets, white clouds like wandering sheep are leisurely grazing, there is the fragrance of milk tea in the yurt, and the kind grandma pats the baby, humming the lullaby of the grassland......

Qing was wrapped in peace and warmth, and fell asleep in the sound of the flute, this night, he slept soundly and sweetly!

The next day, in the Beihai Crystal Palace, the military generals of the civil and military generals were lined up on both sides, the crown prince Qing sat on the throne at the head of the palace, and the king of the Beihai Sea Hongning was kneeling on the ground to play.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the four people including Hongmeng, the head of the rebellion, and the king of the mermaid clan, Qinglian, are all escorted outside the palace, please send your Royal Highness the prince to the palace."

Qing said majestically: "Bring them all in."

Several people who were tied up with immortal ropes were pushed into the main hall by the shrimp soldiers and crabs, Hongmeng struggled and refused to kneel, and was directly kicked down by the crab generals, and knelt down with spears.

Qing looked solemn and said coldly: "Hongmeng, are you guilty?"

Hongmeng's eyes were red, and he struggled and shouted, "Hmph! I see, the guilty ...... It's you".

"Bold! Dare to be rude to the prince"

A loud ear scraping sound of "pop", accompanied by a scolding sound, resounded through the hall, and the crab slapped Hongmeng heavily.

Qing was silent and waved his hand to stop, "Okay, let him."

Hongmeng turned his face and looked at Qinglian beside him, a soft color flashed in his eyes for a moment, and he looked at Qing on the throne angrily, roaring angrily.

"Hmph, count on you. It was you who led the army to slaughter the merfolk and made me ...... the North Sea. Lost most of the troops. It was you who took my place and exiled me. It is you who take away my love. Today, this Qian... It's all caused by you."

With contempt on his face, he met Hongmeng's hateful gaze, and said in righteous words: "Are you finished?" That Benjun asked you, back then, as the prince of Beihai, you didn't think about government affairs, and caused the Beihai Navy government to be ruined, but you forcibly robbed and detained the mermaid prince and provoked the war between the mermaid clan in Beihai, but you excluded your own brother and let the war spread to the point of being out of control, and still did not repent, but you were also you?".

"Humph!"

"In this way, every death in that battle between the North Sea, the Merfolk, and the Army was not due to your mistakes and stupidity? and it is not possible to atone for iniquity."

Hongmeng stiffened his neck, unconvinced, "Hmph! What is the trouble of wanting to add to the crime? You are the culprit."

Looking at Hongmeng coldly, Qing said again: "Back then, when I thought of the Beihai Sea Monarch guarding one side, it was also considered a high level of hard work, and I couldn't bear to send him to a white-haired person, thinking of you...... It was not intended to provoke a war, leaving you a way to live, but only sending you to punishment. If this gentleman is at fault, it is that he did not kill you at that time, which led to today, and made you a troublemaker."

Hongmeng burst into an arrogant laugh, "Hahaha! Whatever you want? Anyway, your father and son are running out, I want to see, how did you get wiped out by the demons? I'll wait and see, your heads are hung on the door, your good days are coming to an end, hahaha......."

Qing looked majestic and directly pronounced the verdict, "Hongmeng, you colluded with the demon clan, provoked civil strife, and caused the lives to be ruined, and your heart can be punished! You still want to see the demon clan subvert the Nine Folds, but you are delusional, if you don't kill you today, it will not be enough to appease the soul of the unjust death, come here! Pull out the four rebel masterminds and immediately behead them, and hang their heads on the highest place in the North Sea; put the rebel generals into the vanguard camp of the army, let them go to the front line, and take the lead in atonement." If there are any more people with ill intentions and different intentions, the consequences will also end!

"Yes!"

Hongmeng was dragged out by two crab generals, struggling and scolding, "Qing, I curse you, you can't die well......

"His Royal Highness the Prince, spare your life, ......", the other three Hongmeng's comrades were so frightened that they pleaded with their heads again and again, and they were also dragged out by the shrimp soldiers.

With four screams, the four heads had been cut off in unison.

Qing had a gloomy face, looked down at the mermaid king Qinglian, who was trembling with fright, and asked sharply, "As for you, the mermaid king, do you know what is wrong?"

Slender and white, as beautiful as a woman, I don't know how to answer, "I, the minister, ......."

Looking at the sweaty Qinglian who was frightened like a giant baby, his eyes were full of disgust.

"Why can't you come up? That Benjun for you, Hongmeng rebelled, you could have been the first to quell the rebellion, and you let him, or even connive at him, stay in your jurisdiction to make it bigger, don't you just want to use him...... Are you borrowing his hand to repay the ...... Your so-called family feud!".

"This ?......"

His eyes met Qing Ling's cold gaze, and Qing Lian, who saw through his thoughts, fell to the ground in fright, not daring to quibble.

Qing Leng snorted, "Hmph, your three sisters are dead, and Benjun is also hanging by a thread." Since it is a war, there will be casualties, and you have taken your hatred out of the court, and you have humiliated Hongmeng, but you deliberately ignore it, it is your appeasement and adultery, which has caused more living beings to fall and be displaced. As a vassal of one side, you can't keep the peace of the court and all living beings, but because of your own selfish help, you should be killed!"

When the mermaid princess Xue Xue heard this, she quickly knelt on the ground and pleaded in fright, "Please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be gracious and spare the king, he was instigated to make a big mistake, as the eldest sister, I am willing to be punished for him."

Qinglian's other sisters also knelt down and pleaded, "As sisters, we are willing to suffer for the king."

Hongning, the king of the New Taipei Sea, also knelt down and pleaded, "Chen Hongning, the tribe is out of control, failed to prevent it in time, the minister is guilty, and he is willing to accept the guilt for the king."

Qing looked angrily, looked at Hongning, who was already the monarch of the North Sea, and said sharply: "Of course you are guilty, as the leader of the feudal territory, because of his private abolition of the public, neglect to control his relatives, causing the king of the mermaid clan, the mistake cannot be corrected in time, resulting in the spread of trouble, you cannot escape the blame."

"The minister is guilty!"

Qing landed in a voice, "I read that you have been meritorious, and you also know your crimes, this monarch is lightly punished, and the cane is punished with thirty, and the mermaid country lord Qinglian, who makes mistakes but does not repent, is sentenced to one hundred canes and obliquely in court."

The mermaid princess Xue Xue pleaded with her head, "I beg His Royal Highness the Prince, my subordinates are merciful, the king is weak and can't stand a hundred rods, we are sisters, we are willing to be punished for him, and ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for permission."

The other three mermaid princesses stopped the execution guards, pulling Qing Lian and crying, "King, quickly confess to His Royal Highness the Prince, quickly make your mistake, you will change, do you really want to die under the rod? Have you forgotten the mother's deathbed request? Quickly confess your guilt......."

Qing Lian's frightened face was pale, trembling like chaff, and he had long since lost his claim, "Sister, I ?......."

Hongning has married the sixth princess of the mermaid clan, as his brother-in-law, he pleaded again, "His Royal Highness the Prince, please remember that the king is still young, and he has been bewitched by ulterior motives, and he should be punished if he is guilty, but a hundred rods will definitely kill him, and the guilty minister is willing to bear some rod punishment for him, please be gracious."

Qing Duan sat on the throne with a determined face, and turned a deaf ear to His Highness's cries and begs for mercy.

Seeing this, the execution guards pressed the two to the ground, and the sound of "crackle, crackle!", the howl of Qinglian, the muffled snort of Hongning, and the cries of twittering for mercy were chaotic in His Highness.

After only a dozen strokes, Qinglian under the staff couldn't stand it anymore, crying and begging for mercy, "His Royal Highness the Prince, minister, you are guilty, ahh......h

Qing remained unmoved and ignored it.

When he was about to hit the thirty rods, Qing Lian's buttocks were already covered with blood, crying and begging, "His Royal Highness the Prince, ah! spare your life! ah! ah......."

Hongning, who had already been tortured, knelt down a few steps forward and begged: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the king is the wife and brother of the minister, and the minister has not fulfilled his obligation to be the king and his brother, so that he has made a big mistake, he has already known his mistake, and his body is ...... I really can't stand it, let the minister replace him."

The mermaid princesses wept bitterly and pleaded for their younger brother, "Please beg His Royal Highness the Prince, spare the king, we are sisters, we are willing to take our lives to guarantee that he will not make mistakes again, show mercy to his subordinates, and if he fights again, he will really be killed."

The civil and military forces present also knelt down and pleaded for Qinglian, "Please forgive the mermaid king, His Royal Highness the Prince."

Qing waved his hand, suspended the execution, and asked in a deep voice: "Qinglian, this gentleman asks you, are you ...... now?" Convicted?".

Qing Lian lay on the ground, his face full of tears, and he was powerless to reply, "Minister, know, sin!"

"Do you dare not heed the advice and insist on going your own way? Can you dare to complain against the court and take revenge? Can you dare to disobey the instructions again?"

"Minister, no, dare, it's ......"

Qing Yi sent a treasure elephant, and ordered condescendingly: "Beihai Jun Hongning, I order you to send envoys to the mermaid clan to exercise the power of supervising the country with the princess of the mermaid clan, and correct the problem in time when it is found, and no more mistakes can be made, otherwise, this monarch will not spare you."

Hongning and Xue Xue both received the order, "Yes! His Royal Highness the Prince."

Qing looked at the clear ripples, let out a long sigh, and said with hatred of iron and steel: "Mermaid King, for the sake of the face of the Beihai King, your sisters and ministers, this monarch has changed the sentence to fifty strokes. I hope you remember that talents of your age and who have made great contributions abound, and a good man should make contributions and benefit one party, and should not be like a child, always naïve...... Keep fighting".

"Yes!"

There was another "crackle, crackle!" and the cry of "ah......h The thin skin and tender flesh of Qinglian was beaten and the flesh was opened, and the blood flowed, and the pain in his heart was enough for him to remember for a lifetime.

Qing used thunder means to successfully suppress another civil war instigated by the demons in the North Sea.

Things were as accurate as Mai had estimated, and when he thought of that exciting thing, he couldn't help but smile, he really missed her.
