In the third year of the founding of Da Chu, in the middle of winter, water dripped in the northwest and turned into ice. The barbarians who fled to the depths of the desert were all in ragged clothes and suffered from hunger and cold. They come from many tribes such as the Western Region, Mobei, and Monan, but now they are heading in the same direction.
But wherever they went, they passed through Gilded City. The leader made a deal with Huyan Khan, and the men were sent into the army and the women were made slaves, thus gaining temporary shelter.
After the young general of Zhenbei, King Pingnan, heard the news, he did not give an order to pursue him, because the current situation was enough for him to handle the matter.
Originally, dozens of tribes, large and small, outside the fortress, except Di Rong's tribe who temporarily vassalized Miluo, were all wiped out. Even Di Rong's troops suffered more than half the casualties.
Some people say it is to make a name for themselves, others say it is to warn the neighbors. However, for Zhenbei General Pingnan King, all the reasons are not worth a transaction and one person.
Qin Ji was from a humble background, and the entire Chu royal family was extremely opposed to this marriage. Only the emperor, who had ascended to the throne for the first time, proposed such a compromise.
As long as all the tribes outside the Great Wall are wiped out, he will personally issue an imperial edict to consummate the marriage.
Most of the people around him had tried to dissuade him. If he carried out this unkind and unjust battle, in the future, the world would only fear and have no respect for General Zhenbei, King Pingnan.
But Zhenbei General Pingnan Wang himself didn't care. He was the God of Death and the God of Death who wanted to marry Qin Ji...
Recalling the past, Princess Erya's cousin only felt her mood fluctuate. She was not yet born at that time, but she had also heard her mother talk about the tragedy of the scene back then. So much so that she has been a slave girl since she was born in Gilded City.
"Cousin, I didn't mean to irritate you with the past, but the opportunity for revenge is right in front of me. If I miss it, I will never have it again." Princess Erya seemed to have a fire burning in her eyes, and she was so paranoid that she was almost crazy, "My life, What does it matter?"
"Er Ya..." The cousin's eyes turned red, "Have you ever thought about the consequences? After this move, it will be a complete break with Dajing, and Miluo is not a kind person. It is caught between the two countries. How can Di Rong's tribe have any chance? A way to survive?"
"My hometown has long since ceased to exist." Princess Erya's expression gradually became resentful. "It would not be a pity if Di Rong's tribe was destroyed today. As long as the Wu clan is prosperous, nothing else matters."
"Since you have made up your mind..." the cousin said slowly, "then it doesn't matter if I do it."
"No!" A trace of panic flashed across Princess Erya's face, and her cousin frowned and said, "Why? You have already poisoned Fang Zilan, whose life will it cost..."
"I won't do it if I say no!" Princess Erya interrupted her sternly, "That voodoo is fed by my essence and blood. No one can control it except me, not even you, my cousin."
The cousin reacted suddenly, "Erya, what on earth did you do?"
"Cousin, no matter what I did, it was all for the Wu clan." After saying this, Princess Erya cruelly pushed her cousin out and locked the door from the inside.
"Erya, don't do stupid things!" The cousin shouted. For fear of attracting too many people, she still restrained her voice, but she didn't get any response.
Princess Erya sat at the table and gently opened the wooden box in her hand. There was a Gu worm inside.
She didn't tell anyone that she had started setting up this trap a few years ago when Zi Lan first found her. The purpose of guiding Fang Zilan to the Miluo Palace to find the high priest was to make this situation more perfect.
Now that things have happened, not only is the situation she set up perfect, but there are also people helping her. How can she let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
Thinking of this, Princess Erya took out a knife and cut open the veins of her wrist. She fed the blood to the Gu while muttering something in her mouth. Speaking of which, this is the first time she has practiced such witchcraft, so I hope she won't be disappointed.
At the same time, Fang Zilan, who had just walked back to the door of the house, felt dizzy and almost fell over.
A hand stretched out to hold Fang Zilan's arm, "Master Fang!"
"Miss Xiao..." Fang Zilan gasped, but Xiao Xuan'er said anxiously: "Master Fang, Master Mo is missing."
Fang Zilan's eyes turned dark, but she still held on and asked, "What do you mean missing?"
Xiao Xuan'er hurriedly said: "I just passed by the Ministry of Justice when I went to see Miss Awan, and I heard someone said that Mr. Mo didn't go there yesterday, and he didn't see anyone today. He didn't come back to his house the night before yesterday..."
Hearing this, Fang Zilan's blood surged up in her chest, and she actually vomited a mouthful of blood.
Xiao Xuan'er exclaimed, and before she could make a move, she saw someone on the other side supporting Fang Zilan with her, "Master Fang!"
Zheng Yan looked hesitant. Although Fang Zilan was groggy, she seemed to feel something and shouted: "If you have anything to say, just say it!"
"King Rong'an reported the case, claiming that the white jade tiger talisman was missing." Zheng Yan's voice was low, and it became heavier in Fang Zilan's ears.
"At this juncture..." Xiao Xuan'er suddenly thought of something, "Master Fang, if someone attempts to frame the Duke of Yue's Mansion, once Master Mo and the White Jade Tiger Talisman are found at the same time..."
"Go find Mo Han!" Fang Zilan reluctantly stood up, but it was extremely difficult to even take steps.
"Master Fang, I'm going to find Master Mo." Zheng Yan said and looked at Xiao Xuan'er, "I'd like to thank Miss Xiao..."
"I don't mind." Fang Zilan used all her strength to throw away their hands, "Miss Xiao, you go too, please..." Her voice was broken, and she staggered two steps and fell on the steps in front of the door. superior.
Xiao Xuan'er had no choice but to call the maid to come out and help Fang Zilan return to the house, while she and Zheng Yan went to find Mo Han separately. However, Fang Zilan didn't want to get up, and the maid didn't dare to pull her up rashly.
After a while, Cong Rong, who had returned from shopping, saw Fang Zilan sitting on the ground and walked over quickly, "Master Fang, why are you sitting here?"
The maid on the side explained a few words, and Cong Rong asked casually: "Then what did General Zheng and Miss Xiao do?"
"I don't know too much about this." The maid shook her head, "It seems to be related to Lord Mo."
"Master Mo?" Cong Rong said casually, "I just watched him enter Xiangsheng Restaurant, and there was another adult beside him. He looked very handsome."
"What did you say?" Fang Zilan had a splitting headache and stood up unsteadily, "Are you sure you read it correctly?"
"Master Mo lives in the house and we see each other all the time. How could I be wrong?" Cong Rong said firmly. Fang Zilan gritted her teeth and ran out without looking back.
Seeing this, Cong Rong sighed secretly, the witchcraft was actually more powerful than she imagined.
On the other side of the Jingzhao Yin Mansion, Fu'an, the servant next to King Rong'an, said to Xie Yanping: "Sir, I can see clearly that the thief who stole the white jade tiger talisman entered Xiangsheng Restaurant. It is absolutely true. Please hurry up, sir." Order someone to arrest him."
