The Paranoid Tyrant’s Illness Got Worse Today - Chapter 16

In Jinling, the climate is warm and humid, and the wind is always lazy, making people drowsy and intoxicated.

Early in the morning, Wei Jinchao took Mei Xueyi to the city wall on the north side of the city, and looked at the inside and outside of the city together.

The supplies brought by the army have all run out.

In the rear, reinforcements from Jinling came one after another, and the troop was north to the north, gradually forming a siege situation.

The only solution for now is to divide the troops to defend the northern city, and then storm the Jinling capital.

This is a strategy of burning all the jade and stones that hurt one thousand enemies and eight hundred.

Seeing this situation, Mei Xueyi couldn’t help but feel a little worried.

She could understand Wei Jinchao, the paranoid tyrant, who wanted to go all out to destroy the Jinling royal family, but what about after winning the capital? This isolated island is bound to be submerged in the turbulent waves that follow.

Now the reinforcements from Jinling are coming slowly and slowly, it is precisely because many vassal kings refuse to accept Qin Ji and want to get rid of her through the hands of Wei Guo, so they deliberately watch the fire from a distance.

If Wei Jinchao really overthrew the capital of Jinling, those wolves, tigers and leopards who were waiting for the opportunity would surely swarm up and compete for the position of the lord of Jinling. By the way, they would eat this isolated and helpless guard as their first share. Military exploits.

Mei Xueyi frowned, thinking deeply.

She didn’t realize that Wei Jinzao by her side had been staring at her for a long time, with reminiscence and infatuation in her eyes.

“What are you thinking?” After all, he couldn’t see her frowning, so he couldn’t help raising his fingers to smooth the hill between her eyebrows.

Mei Xueyi raised her hand and took his fingers.

“Your Majesty has no calluses on his hands.”

“Huh?” He was puzzled, frowning slightly.

She squeezed his fingers, put them to her heart, and pressed them close to him, standing on tiptoe, her lips to his ears.

He bowed slightly to match her height.

“The book says that Your Majesty has practiced martial arts all the year round, and there are calluses on his hands.” She exhaled like a blue orchid, and said maliciously to his cold white ears, “Rough… I like it.”

His body froze visibly.

Unfortunately, the ears are still not red.

“Queen,” he coughed lightly, “on the battlefield, don’t flirt.”

She deliberately sighed: “If I don’t seize every opportunity, I’m afraid I won’t have another chance in the future. When Jinling is captured, His Majesty will run out of ammunition and food.”

He laughed: “The queen is very worried, it turns out that she is worried about this.”

He raised his hands and clapped twice.

I saw the Xuanjia Guards under the city wall move, and in a short while, truck after truck of solid and heavy supplies were transported from several granaries in the city.

The source is endless, it seems to have been hoarding for several years.

Mei Xueyi: “???”

He lowered his head and covered her ear, casually said: “The biggest merchants in Jinling are my people. The northern garrison has long been bribed, the ground has been hollowed out, and it is full of materials. This is what money can do. Let the devil grind the mill.”

Mei Xueyi: “…”

It turns out that Jun Jun is really rich!

Mei Xueyi was filled with emotion, and she felt no more burden in her heart.

She bent her eyes at him: “Your Majesty, I still want Lingzhi Immortal Grass, go back and collect it for me.”

“Small thing.” Jun Jun replied without blinking.

After a long while, he came down again, gnashing his teeth close to her ear: “Gu, I won’t, I run out of ammunition and food.”

Mei Xueyi: “…”

Wei left 50,000 people to guard the north, and the remaining 150,000 soldiers and horses surrounded the capital of Jinling.

Qin Ji would never have imagined that the last and most solid north line of defense was easily defeated and occupied by Wei Jinchao. The garrison Huang Lezhi rebelled, General Weihu was captured, and the guards came to the city overnight.

Before they could escape to the south, the escape route was completely blocked.

The army is pressing down, and the black clouds cover the top.

After several failures to break through the siege, Qin Ji had to lock the city gate, hoping that the reinforcements would take the northern city and save the capital from water and fire.

Mei Xueyi came to the front.

She found that recently, Jun Jun liked to take her to the front line, accompanied by smoke and fire, cold armor and sharp weapons, and his eyes were always very deep when he looked at her.

She looked around at the towering and solid city walls, the wide and deep moat, and the gates made of fine iron in Jinling Kyoto, her brows furrowed again unconsciously.

“Easy to defend and difficult to attack. There is a moat blocking the city, so there is no way to build a siege ladder. You can only attack from the city gates on all sides.” She shook her head slowly, “It is possible to attack, but there will be heavy casualties.”

“What is the queen’s strategy?” Wei Jinchao asked with interest.

“Besiege without attacking, kill them.” She moved her moist red lips, her tone was soft, calm and indifferent.

No matter how much grain Jinling hoards, it can’t be more than the underground grain that Duan Jun has been hoarding in the north for several years. Besides, there are countless merchants and common people gathered in Beijing, so many mouths have to eat.

It depends on whether Jinling reinforcements first broke through the northern city, or Wei Jinchao first trapped this isolated island in Kyoto to death.

Judging from the combat effectiveness of the defending army along the way, it was easy to defend the northern border.

Wei Jinzhao held her shoulder happily, he pressed against her ear, his voice hoarse and cruel: “I will tell the people in the city, Wei Wang Rende, let 500 people leave every day, they can take their belongings with them. .As a result, the inside will soon… become chaotic.”

Mei Xueyi turned to look at him.

The sinister dark fire in his eyes and the cold and smiling expression made him look like a big devil.

It’s a pity that this cold and violent appearance did not last long. An earth-shattering cough suddenly struck, causing him to bow his back and cover his face with black wide sleeves.

When he was panting and slowly standing up, Mei Xueyi keenly smelled the smell of blood.

He must have vomited blood on the black clothes.

He was used to hearing him cough and watching him vomit blood, but at this moment she felt her heart tighten a little. He didn’t want her to find out, so she pretended not to know.

She lowered her eyes and thought to herself: ‘When he finds the Immortal Ganoderma lucidum for me, coax him to serve one first. ’

She didn’t care about him, nor did she have any special meaning for him, she just wanted him to live longer and collect more spiritual things for her.

Yes, exactly.

As Wei Jinchao expected, Jinling Jingdu soon became chaotic.

Tens of thousands of troops are stored in the city, and the daily consumption is astonishing. The granary soon bottomed out. After several failures to break through the siege, Qin Ji had to collect grain from the people and merchants in Beijing.

After the surplus food was paid, panic spread rapidly.

A voice soon began to spread in the city – Wei Jinchao has never hurt the people or robbed property since he invaded the Jinling boundary. Since he said that if 500 people leave every day, he will definitely keep his word. Rather than starve to death in the city, it is better to trust King Wei.

Another terrible rumor also began to spread in the city, saying that if the stalemate continued like this, there would be no food in the army, and the people would be killed as food for the army.

This time it was even more apprehensive.

From the bottom up, people’s hearts are quickly shaken.

The soldiers also had relatives, and gradually, voices of support began to rise in the army, thinking that innocent people should be allowed to leave.

The Jinling court naturally tried to suppress rumors.

How could Qin Ji not know that this was Wei Jinchao’s conspiracy.

Or Yang conspiracy.

If you don’t let people go, people in the city will float. If you let them go, the city gate will soon be in chaos. There will come a day when the people in the city will ignore the restriction of 500 people and flee the city gate, and the army will be shaken.

At that time, this capital would be in the hands of Wei Jinchao.

what to do?

This Wei Jinchao, what exactly is thinking!

Just before the order in the city was about to collapse completely, Wei Jinchao finally made a move.

He made a very simple request.

As long as Qin Ji beheaded, Wei Guo immediately withdrew.

It’s really unreasonable. Jinling Xiaoshijun just coveted King Wei and lost his life before he succeeded, but Wei Jinchao refused to let him go.

Really brutal and domineering.

However, no one can do anything about him. Talking about benevolence, righteousness and morality with a foolish tyrant and tyrant is like playing the qin to a cow.

The situation in Jinling Kyoto is getting worse.

There was a small-scale upheaval at the city gate on the west side, and the city gate was almost taken away by a small rebel army composed of officers, soldiers and civilians.

There is no time to delay.

If Qin Ji refuses to die, then the war is imminent.

Wei now no longer brings Mei Xueyi to the front line, but let her stay in Beilincheng to recuperate.

She hadn’t seen him for several days.

This afternoon, when Mei Xueyi was leaning lazily on the soft couch by the window to take a nap, she suddenly saw the carved wooden door open gently, then quickly closed, as if someone had entered the house.

But there was no one near the door.

Door… move by itself?

Mei Xueyi thought for a while that she was dazzled.

Immediately, the two maids serving in the room fell to the ground one after another without warning.

She moved her eyelids and cheered up a little.

The ‘capable person’ who robbed Zhao Runru from the execution ground was finally forced out again.

“The visitor is a guest,” Mei Xueyi said lazily, “Sit down and talk.”

For a long time, there was no movement in the empty house.

She could clearly feel that someone was watching her, watching her.

She was leaning on the pillow, looking at each other casually.

Strange to say, she trusted Jun Jun unreservedly in her heart, and she believed that after the execution ground incident, he would definitely stay behind to protect her safety.

Trust without reason.

Besides… She actually wanted to try it. If she met a cultivator, would she turn the cultivator into a pile of flying ashes, just like absorbing the spiritual energy from the Flying Fire Sword.

Evil and funny.

After a long while, an awkward voice floated out of the empty place.

“You have a lot of courage.”

Figures gradually emerged. He squeezed the tactic and put away the secret treasure in his hand.

Mei Xueyi looked at her indifferently, and her eyes met.

It was a young man with a very delicate face, wearing a very ordinary gray Taoist robe, and the most striking thing on his body was a head of hair that was slightly glowing with white and silver lustre. In the golden stage, you can keep your face, but you can’t see the actual age.

Totally unfamiliar face.

He quickly looked away, looking at the ground.

Mei Xueyi’s gaze fell to his waist, where there was a jade plaque, which was the talisman of the elders of the Flying Fire Sword Sect.

She was slightly startled.

Does Feihuo Jianzong still have an elder who slipped through the net?

“Are you here to kill me? Or are you going to capture me and threaten His Majesty King Wei with me?” Mei Xueyi lazily picked up the teapot and poured it into an empty cup, “Use tea.”

He hesitated for a moment and sat down opposite her.

“In your words, I’m an immortal.” He picked up the tea and drank it, shook the empty cup in his hand, put it back on the table, and moved it twice before quickly saying, “I don’t care about poison. Use, I advise you not to waste your time.”

His movements were quite unnatural, and when she was watching, he was a little helpless. At first glance, he was the kind of person who didn’t like to deal with people and only liked to retreat and practice. For some unknown reason, such a person was involved in the mortal world dispute.

It’s an idiot.

Mei Xueyi bowed her head and smiled: “When will the immortals be able to descend to the world at will?”

His face was obviously stiff, the corners of his mouth twitched twice, and he didn’t answer.

After being bored for a while, he stiffened his face and said, “I won’t interfere in your disputes, but Qin Yi and Zhao Runru can’t move.”

Mei Xueyi leaned slightly and narrowed her eyes: “Do I want to move?”

“You’re going to die. You’re all going to die,” he said quickly, still not looking at her.

This is very strange. Protecting Qin Ji and Zhao Runru, but not caring about the only son, Xiao Shijun? What’s the point.

Mei Xueyi chuckled and leaned back on the pillow: “Why do you want to protect these two? Could it be that Qin Ji has an affair with any immortal in your immortal world, and Zhao Runru is actually the immortal’s illegitimate daughter?”

She just said it casually, but she didn’t expect that the silver-haired elder’s face immediately became very strange, as if he was uncomfortable.

Mei Xueyi gently covered her lips and said in surprise, “I guessed it right? No way?”

The face of the other party was even more ugly, and the hand on the low table unconsciously shook twice, knocking over the empty cup.

Before the empty cup overturned, he stabilized it very quickly, the corners of his mouth twitched and his Adam’s apple rolled several times.

Mei Xueyi: “…” She watched from the side, embarrassed for him.

It’s really hard for him to be so afraid of dealing with people.

“Anyway!” He cleared his throat, “If you don’t want to die, just go back to your own territory.”

Mei Xueyi smiled and leaned closer: “Is this the only requirement? Zhao Runru didn’t covet my majesty? Didn’t you force me to leave?”

He looked strange: “Why do you want to covet such a lunatic who is so sick.”

Mei Xueyi: “…” Her family’s Shunjun was clearly despised by others.

“That’s all I have to say.” The monk who was not good at socializing stood up and used a magic weapon to hide his figure. After a while, he added, “It’s better to do it yourself.”

Mei Xueyi looked at the carved wooden door that quickly opened and closed in disappointment.

“Aren’t you going to kill me?” A sinister voice suddenly sounded in the room.

Mei Xueyi raised her eyes in surprise, and saw that Jun Jun had come back at some unknown time, sitting on the bed with her knees on her back, her eyes darkened, staring at the direction where the cultivator left.

“He’s an idiot, not like a bad guy.” Mei Xueyi stepped forward and stretched out her hand to Wei Jinchao, “When did Your Majesty come back?”

He dragged her into his arms: “Do you think I will lose my life again?”

Mei Xueyi didn’t understand, she looked at him, and found that his smile was filled with chills, and his arms were wrapped around her, tightening more and more.

“Queen,” he posted, softly, “you smiled at him three times.”

Mei Xueyi: “…” Is this the point?

His hand quietly crawled onto her cheek, rubbing the corner of her lips with his fingertips.

“How should I punish you?” His eyes were out of control.

She was surprised to find that calluses had formed on his hands after just a few days of not seeing him.
