Slowly and unhurriedly, he cut the flesh from Yun Wansheng's heart. Ji Xun quickly cut off a piece of meat bigger than a child's palm. Yun wansheng's back was bleeding, but the dark guard pointed at his acupoint. It was impossible to dodge, not even to scold him.
Throwing the dagger at the bodyguard, Ji Xun waved the bloody flesh between his fingers, making it clear to everyone that the golden chair that had just returned to the steps was seated.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Ji Xun slowly put the flesh into his mouth as if he was tasting a delicacy. He bit for dozens of times before swallowing it. He drank another glass of wine to wash the blood out of his mouth and took the handkerchief handed by the waiter to wipe the blood off the corners of his mouth and fingers.
"Oh!" Someone could not bear to bend over and spit, as if it was a butterfly effect, and soon a second and third followed suit and spat loudly. Ji Xun just looked at him coldly and did not speak.
It was not until the princes had vomited and the palace men had cleaned up that Ji Xun looked up and was secretly glad that the banquet had been held in the open air, otherwise he would have to vomit.
"Have you all vomited?" Ji Xun asked slowly.
The crowd did not understand Ji Xun's intentions and could only force themselves not to think about the scene.
"Since you've vomited, please," Ji Xun said lightly.
The crowd was stunned and someone asked in a trembling voice, "What does your highness mean?"
"In consideration of the loyalty and patriotism of all of you, and of the suffering of being oppressed by traitors and thieves all these years, I have given you a chance to get what you want. I have just set an example. Do you still need to give me another demonstration?" Ji Xun glanced at them and saw that most of them looked at xie with respect but were not sensitive. He suddenly said coldly, "The ancestor of the ji family was a hero on horseback. At the beginning of the founding of the people's republic of china, the emperor was trapped in the valley. Instead of eating the enemy's flesh and blood for a living, all of you are the descendants of the ji family. Have you forgotten the last words of your ancestors?"
Ji Xun's words made all the vassals kneel in fear.
Ji Xun's words were to force them to eat Yun Wansheng's flesh and blood, and to scold them for forgetting their ancestors. This reason was enough to make them be expelled from the ji family and die without a burial place, even if they wanted to rebel, there was no reason.
After the time when the vassal kings knelt down for a cup of tea, Ji Xun's anger seemed to have subsided. He looked around coldly and remembered everyone's expressions. Then he said, "Since everyone has not forgotten that he is a descendant of the ji family, let's start."
The vassals were unwilling to go forward, and no one was going to lead the fight. No one knew whether their actions would become the first chicken to be made an example of. The ministers were glad that they were not princes, at least they could not eat the flesh and blood.
Ji Xun laughed silently, as if he had just remembered, and said, "Oh, by the way, do not strike too hard when you cut him. The flesh and blood of this judge is not delicious, and do not kill him. He must remain a prisoner for life!" After the vassals had accepted their orders, Ji Xun's slender fingers shook and pointed at king qin nan, "Let's start from king qin nan's side. We are all from the same clan. Don't fight."
Ji Xun's joke almost made people kneel down. People would only give way to this kind of thing. Where would they fight for it?
King qin nan led xie en towards yun wansheng and took the dagger from the secret guard and cut a hole in Yun Wansheng's body. However, the dagger was too dull to cut off the flesh at once. Every time the flesh was cut off, king qin nan frowned and wondered why Ji Xun let him cut off first. Was he trying to cut him open?
Not only did king qin nan think this way, but even the vassal king sitting below was also pondering whether Ji Xun had other intentions.
But ji xun smiled at qin nan wang, who was about to eat meat, and said, "King qin nan, don't worry. It will be more meaningful for everyone to eat together later."
King qin nan stepped back with a piece of rotting meat in his hands. The vassals went forward one by one and tried to cut the meat with disgust. Many of them could not help but vomit once more, but no matter how much they dawdled, it was still a piece of meat in their hands.
As for Yun Wansheng, who had fainted, no one cared about his life or death at all. Only the bodyguard had treated him with some hemostatic medicine.
Ji Xun stood up and raised his wine glass to look at the people holding up their flesh and blood, "Ji Xun, the 36th grandson of the ji family, is here to drink to all the previous emperors. In this life, he will follow his ancestral teachings and govern the mountains and rivers."
Then a cup of muddy wine spilled on the ground. Ji Xun poured another cup of wine and said to the vassal kings, "Dear relatives, what I have done today is not to force you, but to serve as a warning to the future generations. Traitors must pay in blood and flesh!"
"Traitor's blood and flesh shall be repaid, traitor's blood and flesh shall be repaid!" No matter what the princes thought, they could only cooperate with Ji Xun's cries. They wished Ji Xun could forget about letting them eat rotten meat.
However, the truth always backfired. Ji Xun then ordered the traitors to eat their flesh and blood together. If the ji family did not accept the traitors, they would learn from what happened today.
In the courtyard next door, Su Mianyue, the future master of the palace, entertained a group of imperial concubines and young ladies.
In terms of status in the Yan Country, Su Mianyue was a white man, not even qualified to meet these people, but today Su Mianyue was high on the side of the main seat, next to an empty phoenix chair, enjoying the bow of everyone.
Even if all these people worshipped was the phoenix chair, the only woman in the room who didn't kneel was naturally different.
Su Mianyue said very little during the dinner, and the others could only be silent. This banquet was extremely dull.
During this period, a few anxious young ladies almost shouted at su mianyue and were pushed back by their families. Before they could figure out why Su Mianyue was here, they must not make a move first or else they would make a mistake.
"Mrs. Yuan, why didn't you send your daughter to the banquet?" Su Mianyue smiled and asked Mrs. Prime Minister Zuo, who was sitting at the top of the table on the left.
Mrs. Yuan awkwardly pulled the corner of her mouth and looked at Su Mianyue coldly, but her voice was as warm as ever, "My little girl is ill. She's resting now."
"Is Miss Yuan sick? A few days ago, I was invited to Zhengyang House by Miss Yuan to have a drink and have fun. At that time, Miss Yuan looked good, but unfortunately, I didn't drink enough and didn't even know how I left." Su Mianyue still wore a perfect smile and spoke in a more gentle voice.
Mrs. Yuan's face froze. She wanted to rush up and tear Su Mianyue apart regardless of her status, but she could only grit her teeth and say, "It was that day when my little girl came home that she suffered from a cold. She will be fine for a few days."
"That's great. When I'm free, I'll post to Miss Yuan and invite her to the Zhengyang building to stay drunk." After Su Mianyue finished speaking, no matter what Mrs. Yuan looked like, she smiled and looked at the girls in the second row and said, "Miss hao, miss zheng, Miss Qin, and..."
Su Mianyue tapped out the daughter who had attended the banquet that day.
The girls were either sitting on their feet or glaring at Su Mianyue with anger.
After Yuan Zijing's accident, everyone was trying to erase the traces of their existence that day, but now su mianyue sold them out in public. Some of the daughters who were about to be engaged were probably not destined for a good marriage.
