Shen Qixian sat behind the case and dealt with the matter at hand. He felt a little heartbroken when he saw another batch of supplies being sent to the front line.
Although there are various taxes and Song Cheng has been making money to help him maintain his expenses, looking at the money-burning consumption of the war, he still feels that it is a bit extravagant.
So far, the people under his rule are living well and everyone has a way to survive. However, if the war continues, there will be unavoidable expansion of military conscription and tax increases.
This is not a good thing for the stability of our current territory.
It would be unacceptable for him to just watch Gohid in the south grow stronger.
His goal is not as simple as becoming a prince in troubled times.
At this time, the aide who had previously planned the assassination strode in in a hurry.
Seeing how excited the other party was, Shen Qixian immediately stood up and asked:
"Is it done?"
"It didn't work, just a little bit. The killer is too incompetent. He can't kill people at such a close distance. He is even worse than Xike who assassinated Emperor Jiang back then!"
The staff member said with regret,
"Now that the opponent is on guard, it will be difficult if he wants to assassinate him again!"
Originally, even if a small trick like assassination failed, it wouldn't be a big deal, but for some reason, Shen Qixian got angry for no apparent reason. He felt that this aide was so useless and a complete freeloader. He suddenly became furious and slapped the opponent in the face.
The staff member suddenly received such a blow, covering his face and feeling a little confused.
But when he thought that he really didn't handle the matter well, he deserved to be beaten, so he immediately said:
"Sir, I am an incompetent official, please atone for my sins!"
Hearing the request for atonement, Shen Qixian became even more furious. Seeing that the staff in front of him felt angry, he kicked him down. In anger, he pulled out the sword on the shelf and stabbed the staff to death with one sword.
This time, even the surrounding waiters were startled and screamed.
Seeing the person in front of him convulsing and dying, with blood flowing all over the floor, Shen Qixian finally felt his mind clearing up.
What followed was a deep sense of regret.
What's wrong with you? Why would you get angry over such a trivial matter and kill your staff? Isn't that right?
After waking up, Shen Qixian looked at the corpse of the staff member. After hesitating for a while, he took a deep breath and said:
"He will be buried generously and his family will be rewarded with a thousand silver coins."
After dealing with the staff affairs, Shen Qixian, who was wearing single clothes, was blown by the wind outside the door and felt a little chilly, so he immediately took another pill of Five Stone Powder.
Then, he looked at the Pingzhou map and stared at the location of Yubi City in Lingbi Prefecture:
“Since so many materials have been invested, we must achieve results no matter what.
Tell Chang Gong that I will provide him with enough support so that he will definitely capture Yubi City! "
...
Since returning to Yanhua Fucheng, Liu Yunniang has not had a smile on her face.
The careless girl before was now just a silent heartbroken person.
I didn't expect that Brother Hua, who had been treating me so well in the past few years, would just...
At this time, the mourning hall had already been arranged, and the guards who had a good relationship with Hua Bing in the past were all crying.
Princess Lingbi looked in the direction of the mourning hall and was speechless.
Hua Bing has been with her for nearly ten years. Let alone a human being, he is just an object and has feelings.
For her, this person is not only her guardian, but also a family member in a sense.
Now that he died for herself, her heart was filled with mixed feelings. Therefore, her funeral was carried out according to the ceremony of her brother's death.
They were feeling sad here. Zhao Yuwan, who was in the Zhao Mansion handling her father's funeral, heard about it and rushed back immediately.
She is now wearing sackcloth and mourning, looking very sad.
I spent the whole night last night crying for member Zhao. I cried really hard, and my eyes were a little red and swollen.
At this time, she heard the bad news again, and she was also a little sad.
I still have a very good impression of this guard captain who devoted himself to his duties, and I wanted to remember him deeply when I came back this time.
Just when I returned to the mansion, I frowned subconsciously.
Without him, the specifications of Hua Bing's mourning hall were beyond the rules.
Princess Lingbi, who was in charge of the memorial service, saw her coming back and was about to say hello when she saw Zhao Yuwan saying:
"Don't go beyond the rules."
As soon as the sound came out, in the mourning hall, the oversized ceremonial staff, white silk, funeral candles, etc. seemed to be picked up and pulled out of the mourning hall.
This move made Princess Lingbi’s brows jump wildly:
"Yuwan, what are you doing?"
"Sister, the specifications of Hua Bing's mourning hall are beyond the rules. I am just following the rules."
"Nonsense, Protector Hua was not bad to you before. No matter how bad she is, she still has the kindness of protecting you. How could you do this?"
"I understand Hua Weiwei as a person, he can be called a loyal slave.
But a slave is a slave, and he must not break the rules even after death! "
Zhao Yuwan said, but her eyes were fixed on Hua Bing's coffin.
"The materials used in this coffin are also beyond the limit."
As he said this, he started to cut off a layer of the coffin.
Before she could take action, Liu Yunniang came out and blocked Zhao Yuwan with a big iron stick:
"Don't touch Brother Hua's coffin."
Seeing this, Zhao Yuwan frowned:
"Yun Niang, you are so unruly. How can you wield a sword or a stick in front of your late husband's coffin?"
As soon as she said this, the iron rod in Liu Yunniang's hand fell out of her hands and she could no longer hold it.
Princess Lingbi saw this and shouted:
"Zhao Yuwan!"
After receiving such a drink, Zhao Yuwan was also slightly stunned:
"Sister, why do you call me by my first name?"
"Why do you mean it? I think you have been completely led astray by that bullshit way of heaven. For this bullshit reason, you even moved the coffin of the person you were kind to!
Are you still not human? "
“Sister, please take back your words.
The way of heaven is the absolutely correct way in the world, not some crooked way.
On the contrary, sister, you have never followed this path and are already on the edge of the evil path.
As a good sister, I must pull you back to the right path. "
Seeing that Zhao Yuwan was so stubborn, Princess Lingbi was furious, pointed at the door and said:
"I am a princess of a country, how can I be the sister of a common girl like you?
Since you don't want to give up your fallacy, get out of here now.
I don’t recognize you as my sister! "
Seeing Princess Lingbi suddenly say this, Zhao Yuwan was stunned, with a look of disbelief on her face:
"Sister, do you really mean what you say?"
Seeing Zhao Yuwan's expression, Princess Lingbi felt a little uncomfortable, but she knew that the person in front of her had become very strange, and it was impossible to get along well with him anymore.
"Of course, I am a princess, and you are just a commoner's daughter. Remember your identity!"
These words made Zhao Yuwan tremble slightly, her eyes filled with disappointment.
Then, he bowed respectfully to Princess Lingbi:
"Daughter of the people, please retire."
As he said that, he took three steps back, then turned around and left.
Looking at her leaving back, Princess Lingbi also had tears in her eyes. She wanted to call her and ask her to stop, but she knew that this was impossible.
After exiting the mansion, Zhao Yuwan stepped on Ma Cunyong's back and got into the carriage as she was accustomed to, and then she sobbed silently in the carriage.
Feng Xingping advised:
"Miss, don't be sad, it's normal for sisters to have conflicts.
The mistake this time was that Your Highness was lost and didn't realize it, so he said such angry words.
The root of the contradiction lies in the lax etiquette and unclear rules.
Your Highness does not understand this, so naturally he cannot understand your good intentions.
As long as Miss continues to work hard to promote the "Way of Heaven" and let everyone in the world believe in it, His Highness will definitely understand your painstaking efforts.
You will naturally get back together. "
Zhao Yuwan in the car heard this and thought deeply. She stopped crying and said firmly:
"Yes, we must let everyone in the world follow the laws of nature!"
After that, he said again,
"When I return to the Zhao Mansion, my father's wake-up call has not yet been completed. My own rules are an example, so I must do them well."
After cruelly driving away this sister she had been with for a long time, Princess Lingbi could not calm down for a long time.
After realizing that Zhao Yuwan's problems could not be solved by herself, Princess Lingbi burned incense and prayed to see the city god.
In fact, when today's incident happened, Ye Ming, Caiwei, and Luyi were watching through the shadow of wish power in the City God's Office.
At this time, hearing the call of Princess Lingbi, Ye Ming glanced at the green clothes.
There are a few scratches on his face, which were caught by this crazy guy in the morning. It's hard to see people now.
Seeing his gaze, Luyi lowered his head in shame and muttered:
"Don't push yourself too hard, you're not really hurt, you're still embarrassing me!
...Okay, what happened in the morning was my fault. I will make you a delicious meal tonight to make up for it, right? "
After listening to her words, Ye Ming smiled, and the scars on his face disappeared in an instant.
Seeing this, Lu Yi felt that he had been fooled again, but he didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Caiwei held her arm in green and motioned her to keep quiet.
After praying for a while, Princess Lingbi suddenly saw a bright light flashing in front of her eyes, and the shadow of Ye Ming appeared.
"My dear friend, I already know what happened today. The matter of Miss Zhao Er will be resolved, but the time has not come yet, so we still have to wait."
Hearing Ye Ming's words, Princess Lingbi felt relieved, and then said:
"Yu Wan is just obsessed with that absurd theory. If she can be saved, please do your best to save her."
"I'm measured."
"...How is Flower Guard doing now?"
"He now serves in the Yin Division and is already the captain of the Yin Division under me."
"That's very good."
Hearing Ye Ming's words, Princess Lingbi felt much relieved and asked about other guards who died in the line of duty.
Ye Ming only said generally that "everything has been arranged."
Princess Lingbi knew that strangers should not ask too much about the underworld, so she chose to end the topic.
While she was continuing to arrange Luo Huabing's funeral, Liu Yunniang walked alone to the bottom of the locust tree beside the courtyard wall.
For some reason, she always felt like something was calling her here.
When I walked to the tree, there seemed to be a person in front of me, but he was invisible.
Although invisible, it gave her a strong sense of familiarity.
"Brother Hua!"
Looking at each other, they are separated by yin and yang.
Liu Yunniang, who had been in a depressed mood but had never cried before, burst into tears...
...
In an unknown dense forest in Yanhua Prefecture, two demons, the leopard and the weasel, are waiting for something.
Not long after, I saw Chou Lin returning.
The two demons quickly asked:
"How is the Rat King doing now?"
Chou Lin said with a pity look on his face:
"We came back late. The Rat King has been eliminated by the City God, and he got a cat for free."
Speaking of this, Chou Lin looked remorseful. If he had known better, he would not have jumped back, and maybe he would have gotten some.
When the two demons heard this, they were both shocked:
"The Rat King has countless clones. Even if the plague method is broken, he shouldn't be killed so easily?"
"I didn't find out the specifics. I only know that the other party must have found a way to specifically restrain the clone method. This is how the Rat King fell."
After confirming that the Rat King was really finished, the three demons were a little scared.
At this time, a burst of magic smoke was seen rolling, and a baby-like thing with a disgusting red rash all over its body appeared.
"Jie Jie Jie, that little mouse is dead, you can follow me from now on!"
"Lord Smallpox, is this true?"
"Do I need to lie to you?"
This demon is none other than the famous epidemic demon, smallpox.
Seeing that this person was willing to be their backer, the three demons were overjoyed.
This person has a great reputation. Following him will definitely have a better future than following the Rat King.
Chou Lin was still very afraid of this person and said timidly:
"Lord Smallpox, now that the Rat King has been killed, we may not be able to know the specific identity of the reincarnated person..."
"It doesn't matter, as long as all the people in Yanhua Mansion are infected with smallpox, then the reincarnated people will naturally not be spared."
Xiaopo said, and then said,
"Let's go and prepare to warn God to send down the epidemic."
"Ah? Do you want to tell God?"
When the three demons heard this, they all looked surprised.
"Yes, I want to warn God and then bring disaster."
...
