An Empire as a Betrothal Gift - Chapter 104

When Wei Lian came back to the inn, the door was open. Ji Yue was leaning against the head of the bed, pulling the petals of the orchid. He was bored and saying, “he will come back soon. He will come back in the evening. He will come back right away. He will come back at night.” The last petal is even, Ji Yue pauses for a moment, grinds the petal into powder with internal force, regards that one does not exist, and then says with satisfaction, “he will be back soon.”

Wei Lian:

Ji Yue is also playing hard by herself.

Wei Lian pushes the door and enters the room. Ji more heard the movement, immediately put the hands of the bare flowers to throw, turned back happy way: “I know you come back now.”

Wei Lian looked down at the scattered petals, just like a butterfly on the ground, and thought you know a ghost.

“How can you make a flower like this?” Wei clasped his arms and said, “isn’t this for me?”

Ji Yue felt a little guilty It’s boring. ”

He is not fit to go out in the King City of Liang. Wei Lian is a childe of Chu with no real power. It doesn’t matter if he is told that he appears in the state of Liang. Ji Yue is not the same. He is the king of Qin. Once his tracks are exposed, he is not protected by the army and is in the territory of other people’s homes. I’m afraid that he can’t walk out of the state of Liang alive.

This is the best time to hang the king of Qin.

Ji Yue, no matter how powerful he is, can’t resist thousands of troops. He can’t make any mistakes before killing the one who casts the curse. He doesn’t go out much these days for the sake of his life.

All day in the house, Wei Lian is not in, naturally idle. Ji Yue can feel a little bit of Wei Lian’s feeling before. Perhaps in the palace of the Qin Dynasty, when he was busy dealing with government affairs, Wei Lian was so bored in Zhongling palace.

At that time, Wei Lian was always waiting for him.

He remembered that he once discussed with the Minister for three days about an important matter. On the fourth night, he went to the Zhongling palace. After Wei Lian got on the couch, he held him quietly and said lazily, “you can count it. I’ll grow mushrooms if I don’t come again. ”

Ji touched his hair more and more: “why don’t you find something to do to kill time?”

“All that. I know how many bricks and stones there are in Zhongling palace, but I can’t count how many leaves there are on the tree. ”

“So hard?”

“Not really.” Wei Lian found a comfortable position and lay in his arms. “I just want to see you.”

They are not people who can’t leave each other regardless of everything for a moment. Otherwise, there will be no disaster of peace and leave for a month. Just miss this kind of emotion, always difficult to control.

Wei Lian’s going out to inquire about the situation sounds light, but in fact it is very dangerous. However, the hidden crises have been resolved by his wisdom and force. The more Ji knew he was capable, but he couldn’t help worrying.

“Back so early.” Ji Yue said, “it seems that there is a harvest.”

“Yes, it’s easier than I thought.” Wei Lian sat down. “You’re right. Never underestimate a person’s care for his sweetheart.”

Aslan is not a person who believes in others. It is just that some experiences that may have happened to melna have completely disintegrated his heart and made him fall into incomparable pain and remorse. Only then can he confide in Wei Lian, who is not very familiar with his old friend.

“All the evidence points to the witch.” Wei Lian said, “Lin Yan’er is the former Saint of the state of Liang. From the time point of view, she is the one who happened to be the one seven years ago…”

He briefly described Aslan’s words, and finally said: “the eighth day of the eighth day is the festival of the gods of flowers. I asked Aslan that day, the national wizard was sitting in the float, surrounded by heavy guards. Aslan will cooperate with us to replace the guards with his confidants and will not try to stop us from assassinating

Ji Yue thought for a moment: “since that country witch has such great ability, can you kill it easily?”

“Always try.” Wei Lian said, “it’s just that no matter whether the assassin succeeds or fails, he is bound to frighten the snake. At that time, the state of Liang will definitely increase the investigation of foreigners. We are weak and need a plan to get out of the way. ”

“I was ready.” Ji Yue said, “if you dare to come to the state of Liang, you have to do a good job. The ability of the person who casts the curse is extremely high. I have guessed that he is a person of high position and power. Killing him may cause trouble. Before he left Jiangzhou, he asked Zhou Mingli to return to Yongping with a secret order to thank Chen. He ordered him to attack the border of Liang state within three months. Liang would certainly dispatch the troops of the royal city to block it. Then the King City would be like an empty city, and we could come and go freely. Today, the Qin army has probably reached the border of Liang state. ”

Wei Lian is not surprised by Ji Yue’s arrangement. It should be said that as a strategist, Ji Yue did not take this into account.

With a faint smile, he said, “it’s really easy to escape by luring the tiger away from the mountain…”

“Who said to run away?” Ji more with a smile, “an empty city, to seize it is not like a bag of things? What’s more, the divine power of the Liang state is supreme, and their witches are dead, just like the collapse of faith, and the morale of the army will surely collapse. How can they fight against the Qin army? ”

“The orphans let people know that their gods can’t protect them.” Ji Yue’s eyes kindled a deep and cold anger belonging to the careerist, “since the Liang people dare to hurt the people of Qin and curse the monarch of Qin, it’s impossible for them to live alone.”

“From the very beginning, it’s not just the blood of the person who casts the curse Ji more does not take the sentiment ground to hook the lip, “only wants is the entire Liang state.”Wei Lian listened to him quietly with one hand on his cheek.

Ji more looked over, he is still full of calm eyes, a face “you continue.”.

“……” Ji Yue took back the flaming flame in her eyes and coughed softly, “did I frighten you?”

Wei Lian changed his hands to hold his cheek: “in your eyes, am I so scared?”

It was even within his expectation.

The state of Chen was dead, and the prelude to the war had already begun, and the iron cavalry of the state of Qin would surely cover the whole continent. Even Wei Lian has already deployed, not to mention Ji Yue.

It’s all a matter of time.

Now that he has come to the state of Liang, he will simply catch all of them, which is in line with Ji Yue’s style of conduct.

“A fool will kill a chicken and an egg, a mediocre one stone and a bird, and a wise man will kill two birds with one stone. As for you, “Wei liangou lip,” you don’t want birds, you want the sky to fall. ”

Ji Yue said with a smile: “the one who knows me can’t be a childe.”

On the eighth day of August, Huashen Festival comes.

The whole city has become a sea of flowers, decorated with colorful flowers under the eaves in front of the window. The girls put flowers in their braids, wear them on the temples, and don’t wear them on the chest. They had climbed out of their beds early, and surrounded the broad streets on both sides of the street, waiting for the flower cars to pass by, ready to fight for the flower of good luck.

There are long ropes on both sides of the street, dividing the crowd into two long dragons. A naughty child got out from under the rope and ran to the middle of the open street. His mother immediately took him back: “the float will pass here later! Don’t run around

Ji Yue and Wei Lian hide in the crowd, waiting for the wizard to appear.

They were all dressed up, with masks on their faces and no holes in them. Huashen Festival is a major festival of the year in the state of Liang. Many girls cover their faces with veils and young men cover their faces with masks. It is said that this is also a custom.

Wei Lian quietly turned the silver bracelet on his wrist and whispered: “Aslan said that the witches are on the third float, and the first two are for the son and the virgin. When the wizard of the state appears, I will use the concealed weapon first. If I can’t kill you once, I’ll fight together. ”

Ji nods more and more.

It was a fine day today. They waited for about half an hour under the hot sun. At last, they heard a burst of music, and a beautiful motorcade slowly came into view.

At the beginning, there were two white horses of no color, the musicians were blowing while walking, and then a group of fully armed guards. Then there was the first float, in which the son Aslan sat.

After the first float, there are flower children standing on the flower platform with flower baskets and spreading flowers on both sides of the road. These children are candidates for the next son and daughter.

Flowers and rain all over the sky, pink, red, purple, yellow There is nothing but white flowers.

White flowers are very unlucky in the state of Liang. They can only be used in funerals.

The people on both sides were excited and stretched out to pick up the fallen flowers.

After that, there was the virgin minera in the second float.

The float is open and everyone can see the face of the virgin. Merna, dressed as a saint and wearing a veil, showed only her beautiful eyes and received the attention of the public.

Wei Lian and Ji Yue are waiting for the third float to approach.

Wei Lian buckled the mechanism on the silver bracelet, and four silver needles were quietly sandwiched between the fingers.

Ji Yuexing fiddled with his belt. The short knife attached to his waist is a telescopic mode, which can be turned into a long sword at any time when necessary.

Finally, a third float appeared.

The witch did not cover his face.

It was a gorgeous woman in full dress and beautiful appearance.

She sat upright on the float, her hands folded on her knees, and her long skirt covered her instep. Beautiful face and calm eyes, but not like all in the world, the beauty of celestial beings, like God.

Let Ji more not take personal feelings to evaluate it is: no solitary good-looking, no a Lian good-looking.

Chonghua princess, the first beauty who had become a pink skeleton earlier, is probably more beautiful.

On the other side of the crowd, a masked woman in purple suddenly jumped up, holding a soft whip, and rushed straight to the third float: “it’s you!”

The country’s witches did not change their feelings and did not give her a look.

Wei liandun for a while, the silver needle in the hand took back: “it is Lin Yan’er.”

At present, he does not know the ability of the national wizard. Let Lin Yan’er explore the details.

The soldier quickly issued an order: “protect the country wizard Lord!”

Lin Yan’er sneers and scatters a handful of poisonous powder from her sleeve. In an instant, the soldiers around the float can only lower their bodies to cover their mouths and cough. She had no intention of picking up these people and running straight to the woman in the car.

“It’s you who made me so!” Lin Yan’er waved a whip, and the state witch quietly raised his eyes and read something in his mouth. Lin Yan’er, like an invisible barrier, was shaken off before he was near, and was about to fall on the open space in front of her.

Wei Lian said It seems that she can’t tell the details. “Great disparity in strength, too big a gap.

“She must have said a curse.” Ji more observant, “she just moved the mouth.”

“Yan’er!” At the critical moment, Xiao Wen immediately appeared and caught Lin Yan’er from the air and fell to the ground.

Lin Yan’er fell in Xiao Wen’s arms and fainted directly.

“Yan’er! Yan’er Xiao Wen didn’t wake up and looked up with anger, “what did you do to her?”

Red crown a anger for the beauty, Xiao Wen anger from the heart, draw a knife to fly to the state wizard.

If you want to get close to the sorcerer, you have to pass Aslan first. But Aslan hesitated for a moment and pretended not to react.

Myrna stares at the woman who is dizzy on the ground and is stunned: “I see how she looks so familiar…”

Xiao Wen stepped on the roof of two floats freely and stabbed the witch with his knife.

In the crowd, Wei Lian said in a low voice: “I always think it’s another one to send people off…”

The voice did not fall, Xiao Wen also flew out, fell in Lin Yan’er side. He was hurt more than Lin Yan’er and even vomited a mouthful of blood.

He looks painful, but still try to climb to Lin Yan’er side, want to embrace her.

“Yan’er…” Xiao Wen whispered, “I will protect you.”

Lin Yan’er smelled the strong smell of blood, and her fingers moved imperceptibly.

Ji Yue, an observer, said calmly, “she has recited a curse again. Just now I saw that she was saying something with her hand seal. It should be that Xiao Wen’s martial arts are better than Lin Yan’er, and her response has become stronger. ”

So Xiao Wen was hurt more than Lin Yan’er.

But Xiao Wen didn’t faint, lying on the ground panting.

Wei Lian said, “let her shut up.”

How fast does it take to be faster than a person’s mouth?

“Why? White flowers? ” Or just ran to the middle of the street children, he suddenly curiously caught a piece of white petals, looking at the white palm, “mother, what is this flower?”

Mother’s face changed and threw the petals away: “white flowers are unlucky flowers! Wait a minute How can there be white flowers? ”

Flower children have long stopped scattering flowers because of this sudden change, but the rain of flowers is still floating all over the sky.

Just the original colorful They were covered with white petals.

The people’s eyes were dazed: “where’s the white flower…”

Ji Yue said: “Lin Yan’er is awake.”

Wei Lian raised his eyes and saw Lin Yan’er who was dizzy on the ground. He did not know when he had stood up.

It happened that a gust of wind blew her veil off, revealing her beautiful face, a pair of affectionate eyes at the moment as cold as frost.

Xiao Wen was stunned: “Yan’er…”

When she saw the face, she was stunned for a moment.

Lin Yan’er low eyes looked at the corner of the mouth is also stained with blood Xiao Wen, dye Dan Kou fingertip gently lift. The condensed internal force instantly turns the white petals floating in the air into a tornado, sweeping to the third float with the momentum of thunderbolt.

Thump!

The soft petals, like sharp tools, cut the whole float into pieces in an instant.

The state witch pupil color slightly changes, immediately urgent mantra, just did not let oneself also be broken to pieces.

“She’s getting stronger.” The more surprised Ji looked at this scene.

“It’s not getting stronger.” Wei Lian said, “it’s a change.”

At the same time, melna exclaimed, “you are the last saint, aidia Samia!”

“I’m not her.” Woman light way.

She held a complete white flower in her palm, cool and elegant: “I am in full swing.”
