Chapter 61: Ji Li
"Report! It's a big deal, it's a big deal. The eunuch Xiao Shunzi hurriedly ran to the main hall and fell to his knees.
The young lord of Qi country, Ji Li, originally wanted to make love with his concubine, but he was disturbed, and now he is very unhappy. "Xiao Shunzi, what's the matter, Lord Nangong, didn't you go and summon the commander of Nangong to the main hall?"
Xiao Shunzi trembled, broke out in a cold sweat, and kept kowtowing. "Tell the king, Yang Guifei and Nangong had a dispute outside the palace. ”
"Dispute?" Hearing this, Ji Li's face was not very good, but he still asked, "It's okay, I'll let Yang Guifei apologize to Lord Nangong later." ”
"But, but, the concubine, already, already ......."
"What's wrong? Say it quickly, don't be struggling, don't say it again, see if this king doesn't kill you!"
"The noble concubine Niangniang and Lord Nangong had a dispute, and they have already been killed by Lord Nangong on the spot outside the Taiping Palace. "Xiao Shunzi's head is bleeding, this is a big disaster! That Yang Guifei is a woman who is newly accepted by the lord of the country, because of her gorgeous appearance, she is very liked by the lord of the country, and she is named a concubine. I didn't expect that I would be killed by Lord Nangong on the spot outside the Taiping Hall today, which is really embarrassing.
"You, what are you talking about?" Ji Li almost held the crown above his head, he just heard the news, and almost fainted. Then Yang Guifei has only been in the palace for less than a month, such a beautiful and lovely person, he hasn't kissed Fang Ze a few times, and today he actually said that it was gone?
"Woo woo, concubine, you died so miserably!" Ji Li beat his chest angrily, looked up to the sky and roared, and was angry and wanted to smash Nangong Ying's corpse into thousands of pieces. "Nangong Yingyang, you dare to kill my concubine, I am inseparable from you!"
"Ahh
Ji Li looked crazy and angry, knocked over all the jade cups and qiongzhan around him to the ground, and overturned the dragon chair.
"Give me death, a bunch of waste, even the king's concubine can't protect well, what do you want?" Ji Li smashed a jade dragon cup in front of Xiao Shunzi.
Xiao Shunzi was so frightened that she didn't dare to move, her body became sifted chaff, and even her lower body was already a little wet. The emperor was angry, and the blood flowed thousands of miles, can he be a little shunzi just a eunuch without being afraid, and without trembling?
"Hahaha, my lord, who made you angry, tell your subordinates that I will kill him. ”
Hearing a loud laugh, Nangong Yingyang carried a human head and slowly walked in. It is a human head, the skin can be broken by blowing, the willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, beautiful and lovely. It's just that now that beautiful face is full of hatred, and it looks a little terrifying.
"This demon girl, with her bewitching words, is bold and reckless, and she actually deceived the lord of the country to do that reckless thing in the Taiping Palace. Moreover, he did not repent, and even spoke ill of his subordinates. It is really a great crime, clamoring for his subordinates to kill her, which is really arrogant and discredits the face of the king. Nangong Yingyang took the lead, and before Ji Li could react, he took the initiative in his own hands. "How could your subordinates agree to such an impudent request? However, this demon girl was brazen and blocked the way of the saint under her subordinates. His subordinates had no choice but to cut off her head to clear the humiliation for the lord of the country. Please also ask the lord of the country to punish the crime. ”
"Punish the crime, hehe, punish the crime?" Ji Li can't wait to go down and strangle Nangong Yingyang now, kill his beloved concubine, and come to himself to ask for guilt, this is not to find death, or to show off his might.
Xiao Dezi, the little eunuch next to him, hurriedly hugged Ji Li and whispered: "The king is calm, calm! Lord Nangong is the commander of the royal capital guards, and he is also the leader of our secret guards of the Qi Kingdom, not only is his power monstrous, but he also has countless followers behind him! If the king turns his face with Lord Nangong here today, not only will he not be able to punish Lord Nangong, but he may even force Lord Nangong to rebel and his life will be lost!"
Ji Li listened to Xiao Dezi's words, and the anger in his heart was gradually extinguished by a cold water called jealousy, and he regained his senses. Nangong Yingyang not only controls the royal capital guards, this kind of military power on the surface, but even the power hidden in the dark of the Qi country secret guards, the two combined, it is really terrifying. It can even be said that Nangong Yingyang has completely mastered the power to change the dynasty.
"What's the matter, Lord of the Kingdom, do you have anything you want to say?" Nangong Yingyang asked respectfully. In fact, he didn't have any rebellious heart at all, he was cultivated by the first emperor and assisted the current lord. If he really had the heart of rebellion, he would have asked the dark guard to send someone to kill Ji Li with a knife, and he would be the lord of the country, which would not waste much effort at all.
But although he was a courtier, he didn't have any intention of rebellion, but he didn't want to watch his lord degenerate, drink and have fun every day, and be arrogant and luxurious, so he made this decision and killed the lord's concubine on the spot. It is hoped that the lord of the country will be aware of his threat, revitalize his strength, and work hard.
Although Nangong Yingyang thought about it for Ji Li's good, Ji Li didn't think so, he gritted his teeth, smiled all over his face, and even said a little flatteringly: "Where did the commander of Nangong say, a courtier like the commander who is wise and martial and dares to speak out, this king can't like it too late, how can he punish the crime?"
Then, Nangong Yingyang gritted his teeth, looking insincere. "Isn't it just a demon concubine who is a fox and a curse? Nangong will kill you if you kill it, it's not a big deal, you don't have to take it to heart. ”
"Thank you, Lord for forgiveness!" Nangong Yingyang knelt on the ground and bowed respectfully. Although, he felt the unwillingness and resentment in Ji Li's heart, as well as the hidden killing intent. However, having these things is better than a faint gentleman who is addicted to wine and has a lustful voice, right?
"By the way, King Qiqi, your subordinates have just seized a novelty recently, and I invite the king to take a look. ”
Nangong Yingyang clapped his hands, and a group of strong men lifted up a large iron cage covered with black cloth, and there was a sound of rustling inside, which seemed to contain some living creatures.
"Commander Nangong, what is this?" Ji Li stared at the iron cage and took a breath, he really couldn't see what was in it. "Is it a wild deer, a little bear, a little tiger?"
"No, no, no, it's much more precious than the brutes. ”
"Please also ask Commander Nangong to solve your doubts. "Ji Li, the lord of the country, hasn't been in it for many years, and his knowledge is shallow, so he really can't guess what is inside.
Nangong Yingyang saw that the little country lord couldn't guess, so he walked to the iron cage, grabbed the two horns of the black cloth, and tore it off with force, revealing the contents inside.
"Ahhh
Ji Li was so frightened by the little orcs inside that he crawled and hurriedly fled behind the dragon chair. "Commander Nangong, what is this, what is this? It is so terrifying! Quick, come and save this king. ”
Looking at the little orc with the head of the finger snake, the trembling lord Ji Li Nangong Yingyang sighed and said in his heart: "It seems that if he wants to become a qualified lord of the country, he still has a long way to go! At the very least, the current courage is really unqualified." ”
Nangong Yingyang stepped forward and explained to Ji Li: "These monsters are creatures that have been wreaking havoc on our borders in history, orcs. They are all human-headed beasts, or beast-headed human bodies, vicious and abnormal, and like to eat human flesh the most. However, the lord of the kingdom can rest assured that these are just orc cubs, and they are bound by an iron cage, so there is nothing to fear. ”
"Orcs?" Hearing Nangong Yingyang pack the ticket, Ji Li dared to climb out from behind the dragon chair and walked to the iron cage step by step. "Is this an orc?"
"Is this an orc? It's amazing, except for the head of the beast, the rest of the body is like a normal child. Ji Li stared at the snake-headed orc in the iron cage, a thought surged in his heart, and he spoke: "I have decided, this time I will use these three little orcs as a sacrifice in the sacrificial hall to sacrifice to the ancestors." I am sure that the ancestors and gods will be delighted to have such a rare offering. ”
Nangong Yingyang hurriedly spoke to stop it. "No, Lord of the Nation, these are no ordinary orcs. They were originally children, but they were transformed by the monks to become what they are now. So, you can't use it for sacrifices!"
"What? This is actually transformed by a child?" Ji Li, who had been looking at the orcs in the iron cage, felt a chill, this was simply terrifying, it was able to transform a child into a monster that was not human, not a ghost. "What the hell is going on, Commander Nangong, I want to hear you explain. ”
Now that Ji Li had already spoken, Nangong Yingyang began to explain the ins and outs of the matter. "That's what it looks like, Lord of the Kingdom. Today on Suzaku Street, there is a demon monk who calls himself the Sheephorn Demon, disguised as a merchant, and sets up a stall there to perform, and the thing he performs is this group of little orcs transformed from children. After that, he was spotted by three young monks wearing masks, and a fierce battle ensued. The Sheephorn Demon was invincible, released a black mist to produce a white bone monster, and escaped by himself. Our royal guards arrived late, and arrived only after they had broken through the black fog. The three teenagers had no intention of confronting us, so they used the dark thunder they had set up earlier and fled. ”
"I deduce that this Sheep Bone Demon must have an accomplice, otherwise it would not have been possible to escape so easily. He is suspected of transforming children into orcs, the most vicious, for the safety of the children of our Qi country, I also ask the king to give an order, and the whole country wants the horn demon. In addition, although the three young monks saw that the road was uneven and drew their swords to help, they also caused a lot of damage to Gaojing. I also ask the king to order them to be arrested and imprisoned for a month, so as to save the face of King Zheng and the kingdom of Qi. ”
"Little orc, transformation, demon monk sheep bone demon, three young monks, Nangong Yingyang......." After listening to Nangong Yingyang's words, Ji Li paced around the main hall, as if thinking about something.
After about a stick of incense, Ji Li finally thought about it, and he spoke. "There are only a day or two left before the ceremony, and fortunately there are a large number of monks, merchants, and envoys from other dynasties who are about to arrive. It is impossible to close the city gates and ban the whole city. For the sake of the face of our country, these things must be suppressed for me, and there must be no leakage of the slightest. The Sheephorn Demon let him run rampant for a few days first, and when the ceremony was over, there was time to clean him up. The three young monks, whose sins have been forgiven by the king, find them and bring them back to the king. This king has important matters to consult with them. Finally, these three rare little orcs must be sacrificed at the ceremony to show the power of our country. ”
"But, Your Majesty, they are all children, not orcs! It's really ....... to do this" Nangong Yingyang didn't expect that Ji Li was so ruthless, knowing that these children were human races, and they had to be killed as sacrifices.
"I've made up my mind, I have to talk about it again!"
"Alas. ”
