“Your Majesty, you owe me an explanation,” Xia Ji said.
Tu Luo’s blue pupils moved, and he suddenly asked, “”Shouldn’t I have broken through the city?”
“What’s that?”
Tu Luo was silent for a moment.
“It wouldn’t be good if I said it,” Xia Ji said.
It seems that the messenger you sent is not simple, ” Tu Luo said with a smile. ‘ He heard some information, right? ”
Xia Ji looked at her quietly.
It’s nothing, actually, ” Tu Luo said generously. ” It’s just that I promised someone to sneak into the palace at the right time to meet you. ‘
” Who is he? ” Xia Ji asked.
” Your Highness, ever since I entered Great Shang, I have had two allies. You are the second and he is the first. Speaking of which, you must know him. Not only do you know him, but you are also very familiar with him. He is not your enemy. ‘
“Who is it?”
“He is…”
Queen Guifang’s voice grew softer and softer as she moved closer to her ear.
When Xia Ji heard this name, his calm expression changed slightly. It was obvious that this name surprised him.
He was silent for a moment, then said, “Let’s finish the act first.” “As you wish,” said Tu Luo with a smile.
At dawn the next day, the snow stopped. Golden light fell like a sword, enveloping the imperial city in blood and fire.
Most of them were confused, but if they had to say something, they could roughly say,
Nangong He and Deng Gongjiu tried to break into the city at night, and then they clashed with the princes and princesses guarding the city.
Guifang took advantage of the blizzard to attack and defeat the army outside the Great Shang City, breaking through the Imperial City.
The citizens of the city requested the Seventh Prince to fight against the enemy. In the end, the Seventh Prince really turned the tide and captured
Queen Guifang in the midst of the chaos. Then, he single-handedly captured Nangong He and Deng Gongjiu.
Surprisingly, the two generals, Nangong He and Deng Gongjiu, were convinced by the Seventh Prince’s courage and led the remaining soldiers to submit to the Seventh Prince.
This was simply a legendary battle record.
Unfortunately, a Frost Giant was hiding in the city and ambushed the guards escorting Queen Guifang. As a result, Queen Guifang took advantage of the chaos to escape.
Only a few people knew the truth.
But was this important?
It was not important.
The winner takes all. The truth is always written by the winner.
This was Xia Xiaosu’s business.
Three days later.
The sunny day turned into a light snow. The snow flew around the palaces and halls and landed in front of the library.
In the twilight, the sound of a young girl reading came from the pavilion.
“Therefore, if you speak with the wise, you will understand.Talk to an unwise man, and you’ll teach him.And it’s hard to do. Therefore, there are many kinds of words, and things are changeable. Therefore, all day long speech does not lose its kind, and things will not be chaotic;lt does not change all day long, but does not lose its master. Therefore, wisdom is precious and not forgotten. Listening is valued in hearing, and words are valued in novelty
Xia Ji sat under the eaves outside the door and raised his glass to the snow. He took a sip to warm himself up.
Three days ago, the mastermind behind the riot in the city had been captured, and the foxes had directly seized the house. Thus, Scholar He and Lord Wen had already become one of their own. Perhaps they had many ambitions, many wisdom that had seen through life, and many unfulfilled wishes. However, the winner was king and the loser was a bandit. They could only be possessed.
If he and Little Su had lost, who knew what the outcome would have been.
Three days ago, Nangong He and Deng Gongjiu had also been taken away. At this moment, they were reorganizing the army, resting on the city walls, and going to the surrounding villages to distribute food and grain.
As for the Deng family, Xia Ji didn’t make a move. Deng Jue’s granddaughter was still in the dark. Although she knew that her grandfather had killed himself, she didn’t know that her father had been possessed. Her grandfather had killed himself because the Deng family had wronged His Highness. No one could be blamed for this.
The foxes of the demon race controlled a few key characters.
The ancestor of these foxes, Hu Xian Er, was Xia Ji’s slave girl.
On the other side, the demons invested in Little Su.
And because he had not deliberately suppressed them, all the smart people who should have jumped and betrayed him had come out. Those who deserved to die had died, and those who should have been possessed had been possessed. In less than a month, most of the restless factors had been eliminated.
All in all, he and Xia Xiaosu had already reached the pinnacle of control over the Imperial City, to the point where it was impossible for them to betray it.
The current situation couldn’t be described as good or bad, but it was still a win.
It could be expected that in the following period of time, the Imperial City would mostly focus on recovery.
And because of the elusive appearance of the Guifang Frost Giants, every place would enter a state of defense. Even if the emperor sent troops from the south, they would at most cross the river that divided the north and south, and would not go too deep.
This winter was the time to completely control the Imperial City.
As for how much he could control it, that was another challenge.
Xia Ji carved the prayer beads every day, then took out the Skill Orbs from the book. At the same time, he sorted the Skill Orbs into categories so that he could use them immediately when he wanted to.
A new batch of little foxes from the Monster Clan had brought lava wood. Xia Ji used the lava wood to make the bead head of a prayer bead. The feeling of this strange wood was indeed different. It actually added a strange flame power to the prayer bead. Although it was very little, it was still a change.
At this moment…
The sound of wheels rattling came from outside the door.
Xia Ji looked up and saw a wooden wheelchair appear at the entrance of the arch. The person in the wheelchair was wearing a devil mask and was pushing the wheels with both hands.
However, the pupils behind the mask were calm as if they were dead, hiding the hatred of looking up at the sky from the underworld.
This was Queen Guifang’s first ally.
He was also the person who had been arranged to meet Xia Ji in the palace.
Xia Ji swept his gaze across the room and noticed that the person below the waist had completely disappeared. The hands that were exposed outside his sleeves had been burnt by fire, making him look extremely ugly.
The person glanced at the prince sitting under the eaves, then looked in the direction of the library. He closed his eyes and listened to the sound of reading inside. He could not help but let out a long sigh of relief.
He looked at his surroundings. Everything was so familiar, but also strange.
He took off the devil mask, revealing an ugly face that had been burned by fire. No one knew how he had survived, nor did anyone know how much pain he had suffered, or what kind of will he had to continue living like this?
Xia Ji looked at him quietly.
He looked at Xia Ji and said in a hoarse voice, “”Xia Ji.”
“Xue Da, since you’re here, have a cup of warm tea.”
Creak.
Creak.
The wheel turned to the side of the roof.
Without any movement, the wheelchair had already floated in the air. Then, as if it was pushed by an invisible hand, it landed silently on the wooden corridor under the eaves.
Xia Ji held a cup of liquor in his left hand and a cup of tea in his right. He poured a cup of tea and handed it to the evil spirit in the wheelchair.
The evil spirit didn’t refuse. He took the tea and drank it slowly. He couldn’t drink it quickly because his body couldn’t withstand eating or drinking too quickly.
Neither of them said anything. They just quietly watched the snow cover.
After a long time.
The last ray of light also disappeared.
Lights were lit in the library pavilion, and the sound of reading continued.
The evil spirit in the wheelchair sighed.
Xia Ji continued drinking, one glass after another.
After a long time, the door opened.
Xia Xiaosu went out and saw that there was still someone outside the door. She couldn’t help but reveal a stunned expression. When she saw the terrifying face of the person, she couldn’t help but be stunned. However, she didn’t show any fear or disgust.
“This is the Crown Prince,” Xia Ji said softly.
P.S. No matter how many people criticize, the author still firmly believes that there will be more silent people who will quietly accompany Xiaoshui. Thank you for your company and silence..
