A window squeaked as it was pushed open, and the window flowers turned into ice flowers. The breath turned into frost, filling the entire world with confusion. Jin Wushu stood by the window and quietly looked at the tall corpse. He was still lying on the ground with his hair standing on end, as if scolding this unfair world.
In this world, only this corpse remained.
The whiteness was really clean.
He laughed, but no one knew what he was laughing at.
In the blink of an eye, everything was in vain, whether it was a hero or a common man.
Behind him, the heavy breathing of Wu Qimai could be heard, "Yue Xiang Gong … "He died miserably …" He could not help but change "Yue Pengju" to "Yue Xiang Gong".
Jin Wushu said lightly: "If it wasn't for Zhao Deji, we really wouldn't have been able to defeat Da Song. Ha, Zhao Deji is actually the best helper our Da Jin has … "
He suddenly stopped talking. In the shadows of the snow, a few Jail Temple Prison s rushed over to clean up the corpses.
He carefully recognized that it was one of the two jailer s who had cried out.
"Yue Xiang Gong died a miserable death …"
"It's all because of that traitor Qin Gui …"
"Heaven does not bless Da Song …"
"Shh, don't say anymore. Be careful of your ears, don't bring disaster upon yourself …"
A jailer named Wei Shun carried Yue Pengju's corpse and quietly went to a cemetery in the south of the city. In a hurry, they dug a pit and buried Yue Pengju's body. In order to hide it from others, he had no choice but to erect a "Jia Yi Ren" tombstone in front of the grave. Finally, Wei Shun bowed and kowtowed a few times, then knelt down and kowtowed: Yue Xiang Gong, if you are to open your eyes in the future, you will be free from all grievances, and I will help you change to a new tablet.
and the others were afraid of Qin Gui, so they had no choice but to do this.
Wei Shun and the others hurriedly left, and the surrounding area regained its tranquility.
After a long while, a person walked out from underneath a large pine tree. Looking at the words "Jia Yi Ren" on the grave, he could not help but laugh: "Yue Pengju, you self-proclaimed yourself as a hero, but who would have thought that after death, you would become a woman! If you knew this would happen, you might as well have gone for my big gold, and gained glory and riches, not wasting your life! "
The blood in his body was speeding up again. In his mind, he was afraid that the venom would spread throughout his body. antidote, where is the antidote? Hua Rong, where is Hua Rong?
"Wu Qimai, go all out to find Hua Rong."
"Yes." Wu Qimai asked carefully, "Looks like the people who rescued Hua Rong were already prepared. They shouldn't be in the city right now, we need to chase them down immediately."
Jin Wushu nodded, it was time to leave this damned place.
In the midst of the firecrackers, he once again looked back at this world filled with flowers. For the first time, he realized that the Southern Kingdom was actually not that desirable. Tang Shi and Song Ci could not cover up the despicable human nature that was deeply rooted in this land. Only, for a vulgar person like Zhao Deji to steal the Dragon Throne, Haotian God was truly too blind.
That was the direction that led to the open seal. There, Zhao Deji's mother, the Wei Xian Fei, was still being kept under house arrest, waiting anxiously for the day he returned to Da Song to be the esteemed empress dowager.
With the words "to welcome the empress dowager back", it was unknown how many people died under his slaughtering knife. "Jin Wushu was both angry and amused at the same time, but he couldn't help but feel somewhat happy at his own strategy. What did the word 'loyal' mean? He suddenly remembered all sorts of methods used in conjunction with the assassination. Was he going to be the same as Yue Pengju today, or was he going to be the same as how he used to be when he was dressed in the Songtazu's yellow robe? His blood was boiling as he ran like crazy. He only wanted to get out of this damn place as fast as possible. He was the supreme existence and he had control over his own destiny — at the same time, he wanted to control the fate of others! To control the fate of others was the might of a supreme expert. Only, as a first step, he had to find Hua Rong and remove the first threat he posed to his life. Otherwise, what else could they do?
Gold Hall.
Zhao Deji stood up from the Dragon Throne, then sat down and walked a few rounds. Even Xiao Liu and the rest of the Pet Consort s were hiding in their respective chambers, not daring to act the slightest bit coquettishly. Even Wu Jinnu and the others, who were in charge of the palace's New Year's Eve feast, did not dare to disturb them.
An exquisite little stove was placed in front of him, it was unknown if it was because the temperature was too high, or because he was too nervous, but Zhao Deji opened and closed his fists, repeating like this until his hands were drenched in perspiration.
A burst of hurried footsteps could be heard, Eunuch Zhang Quwei's voice sounded out: "Prime Minister Qin, Prime Minister Zhang, I, Zhang Taibai, requests an audience..."
Zhao Deji could not wait and shouted, "Quick, pass."
Qin Gui, Zhang Jun, Moqi Wai and the others who were waiting at the door hurriedly entered and knelt down. "Congratulations your majesty, congratulations.
Zhao Deji dropped to the ground and sat on the Dragon Throne, using his hands to count them in: "Blessed by the heavens, truly blessed by the heavens … "Hahaha …" Yue Pengju was dead, the powerful official who was at his elbow was finally dead. From today onwards, he would no longer have to worry about anyone "wearing yellow robes", let alone seeing such a manly man appear in front of him in an eyesore. He laughed out loud. It was hard to tell if his laughter was out of relief or joy, but he almost burst into tears. Even Qin Gui was horrified when he heard this. He knelt on the ground, not daring to make a sound for a long while.
The air was quiet, a few powerful officials knelt on the ground until their legs were weak. After a while, Qin Gui had a sudden inspiration: Your Majesty, these were all found on Yue Pengju's body.
Zhao Deji waved his hand and remembered their existence.
Qin Gui stood up, opened a box and handed it over to Zhao Deji. Zhao Deji saw a yellowed piece of paper and a jade ring on it. On the paper, there were three words: "Yue Pengju."
"This was found on Yue Pengju's body. His corpse is now in Jail Temple Prison."
Zhao Deji naturally recognized that it was Hua Rong's personal handwriting. He also recognized the jade ring on the finger, and he had seen it on Hua Rong's hands several times. As if he was unwilling to touch these things, he immediately ordered Zhang Quwei to keep them. After muttering to himself for a moment, he said: "Fine, we will be lenient, and leave Yue Pengju's body as a whole. All these things, let him be."
In the blink of an eye, he suddenly asked. "Where's Hua Rong?"
Qin Gui hurriedly replied: Reporting to Your Majesty, we have not found Hua Rong's corpse yet. Yang Yizhong, Xu Caizhi and the rest were still searching … "
Hua Rong's corpse — Hua Rong had already become a corpse? This was different from Yue Pengju's death. Zhao Deji suddenly thought of — son — he would never have a candidate to have a son in the future. Zhao Deji shook his head and interrupted him: "Immediately order Yang Yizhong and the others to withdraw. Since the culprit has been removed, I will not pursue the sin of the family. Whether Hua Rong is dead or alive, there's no need to pursue the matter. "
Qin Gui anxiously suggested: "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, nurturing a tiger is a problem. If Hua Rong does not remove him, then I am afraid there will be endless future troubles, and I still have Yue Pengju's son. They should have caught Hua Rong and followed the vines to find their comrades, among them was a big monk among them who came here to rescue the famous Guan Xiluda, I think Hua Rong was really saved by him … "
Zhao Deji stared at him thoughtfully. "We have our own plans. What kind of situation can Hua Rong, as a woman, have? "
Qin Gui suddenly remembered the oath made by the Taizu. Knowing that with Yue Pengju's death, Zhao Deji was going to play the role of "Benefactor".
"Qin Gui, the capital hall will immediately release an official plate announcing that Yue Pengju has been removed from the world. "Be on high alert for the next few days to prevent the people from causing trouble."
"Your subject obeys the decree."
He still remembered Hua Rong's punishment, "As for this Hua Rong, we have previously said that she is not worthy of her family, and we have declared her exiled to Hainan."
Qin Gui thought, if she was gone, what was the point of being banished? However, Zhang Jun was grinning from ear to ear as he flattered Hua Rong, "Even if Hua Rong doesn't die, he will at least lose half her life. Your Majesty, do not worry."
Zhao Deji's heart shook, and he stood up: "It's been hard on the Sisters, let's have a peaceful New Year's Eve today."
Qin Manor.
Wang Junhua changed into an extremely exquisite and expensive new set of clothes, and used the big red rich hundred bird peonies to embroider. It was a Queen's costume, but she had been bribed, and the Weaving Department official had deliberately presented her with such a suit. She liked it very much, so she wore a peaceful New Year's Eve.
She had not slept the entire night and was extremely nervous. She had been pacing back and forth at the entrance all morning, waiting for Qin Gui's return. The errand boy kept running in and out to report the situation. "Mrs. Guo, Yue Pengju has been killed in the south gate …"
"Mrs. Guo, Qin Chuanggong entered the palace …"
She asked again and again: "Where's Hua Rong? Did you find the corpse of the Bastard? "
The sumptuous New Year's Eve lunch was served, yet she was not in the mood to taste it. It was already past lunchtime, and from afar, she could hear Qin Gui's footsteps and ecstatic voice: "Mrs. Guo, great joy …"
Wang Junhua hurried over and asked in surprise: "Old man, how is the situation?"
Qin Gui laughed heartily, and said without any more worries, "That's enough to let Mrs. Guo be at ease, our family's biggest threat has been completely eliminated. Yue Pengju was killed. "
Wang Junhua was more concerned about Hua Rong, so he asked immediately: "Where is Hua Rong?"
"Her corpse has not been found, but according to Yang Yizhong, she is also severely injured, and I estimate that she will not live much longer."
Wang Junhua was surprised and regretful, "This Bastard is truly lucky. How can she run? "
"Guan Xiluda brought someone to rescue them. Hua Rong was probably saved by him. "
Wang Junhua gritted his teeth: "Who is Lu Da? What did he have? Old man, you really are useless things. You can be robbed like this? Why didn't they send people to chase him? We have to get rid of the roots of that Bastard … "
Qin Gui's smile faded as he said sinisterly: "I also feel that it's strange, more than half of our men were killed and more than half were injured. There must be other forces backing Lu Da, looks like Yue Pengju is truly a group of his own."
Wang Junhua said angrily: "Then why did you not send people to kill me?"
"No. Shangguan Family ordered the chase to stop. "
"Pfft, this fellow is impotent, yet he used his evil scheme to play the role of a wise monarch."
"This is his usual trick. Forget it, Yue Pengju has already been eliminated, even if Hua Rong did not die, she would at least lose half her life.
"I hate that I didn't see her body with my own eyes."
Qin Gui cupped his hands and said, "Tianwei has already been removed, and Hua Rong is still half dead.
Wang Junhua could not hide his joy, "Old man, don't say it, I really have to thank Fourth Prince. Killing Tian Wei and Yue Pengju, were all part of his plan. "
