"Arthurs!"
Aghia snapped open her eyes and woke up from her nightmare, breathing violently, the clothes on her back already soaked with cold sweat.
After the prime minister's mutiny in her previous life, she herself was separated from her brother Arthurs, and she was stranded in the Great Xu, imprisoned by Xie Jie as a canary. Arthurs was sent to frontier by the prime minister of the Northern Rong and thrown to the Great Xu.
The Great Xu's generals skinned him and hung him from the city walls as a deterrent to the Northern Rong.
Her brother, the little wolf of the steppe, was not even left full-scale in the end.
Aghia's eyes were red as she remembered her own despair when she heard the news in her previous life.
Now she was just surviving, trying to find Arthurs was like a fantasy.
If Arthurs is found one day and has to go up against the prime minister, how will she be able to save him?
The idea of luring Xie Jie into the jar and using the Great Xu's power to return to the Northern Rong grew stronger and stronger as Aghia sat up and looked into the bronze mirror, stroking her pretty face.
She needed power. She needed power, power to influence the Northern Rong, power to scare the prime minister.
If you want to talk about power, who else in the world can compare to the Great Xu's emperor?
"Xie... Jie..."
Aghia murmured, pursed her lips, thoughtful.
She hadn't seen Xie Jie for a few days after that day.
Thinking it had been so long, it should be enough for the bit of playfulness Xie Jie had towards herself to settle down and transform into a deeper interest in the next meeting.
Aghia knocked on the table, she vaguely remembered that in her previous life at this time, the Shen family people mentioned that on the 15th day of the lunar November, the Emperor would personally go inside the Jiyun Temple to pay respect for Buddha.
Today is the day.
A beauty, holding an oil-paper umbrella, curiously broke down a plum, and a little bit of snow fell on the tip of her nose, driving away the coldness and tinting it with an innocent, natural and happy air.
Aghia only thought she was really here to enjoy the plum, looking here and there, the smile on her face never came down, causing the person behind the tree to squint slightly, his fingertips twisting back and forth on the Rosewood rosary.
"Your Majesty, do you need me to..." Zhou Zhong could not help but drum in his heart at this time, tentatively speaking.
Usually, when the Emperor pay respect for Buddha, the whole Jiyun Temple should be sealed up. Although Xie Jie did not have such a high profile, the personal guards he brought with him also surrounded the plum grove at the back of the hill with no leaks.
But Zhou Zhong, thinking of Xie Jie's special treatment of this girl yesterday, still took the liberty of letting Aghia in. At this point, he can't help but feel a drum in my heart and try to open his mouth.
Xie Jie looked at him with a smile. He did not reprimand him, but rather, he gave a meaningful smile with interest, and his eyes were deep and obscure, "The Shen family's people are in front?"
"Yes," Zhou Zhong replied.
"How can I disturb her when she is safe and sound?"He narrowed his eyes slightly, his said it was not good to bother her, but his voice carried the implication of no comment, "The second son of Shen family was beaten with thirty lashes and is still alive and kicking, right?"
The Second Young Master Shen was beaten with thirty lashes. He originally should be lying at home wailing, but now he appear here, whether it is Wancheng City officials’ lax law enforcement, or someone wantonly connivance, it is not clear.
Xie Jie smiled lightly, "Bring the Second Young Master Shen here."
Xie Jie did not say why to bring him here, but Zhou Zhong understood.
The Second Young Master Shen is just to scare this poor girl, then His Majesty can come to a heroic rescue.
Zhou Zhong took a look at Aghia's figure and sighed in his heart.
I'm really sorry, girl. The Emperor who gave the orders is my master. I must do it.
Aghia was totally unaware of what he was doing.
She came to meet Xie Jie by chance, but she didn't know where he was, so she had to wait for him. She sat down on a rock, holding the red plum in her hand, staring at it with fascination, her eyes drifting as if she was looking at someone through it, thinking: Xie Jie doesn't believe in God or Buddha. He came to Jiyun Temple, but he’s not in the main hall to kneel, then where would he go?
"Yo, how come there's a beauty hidden in this temple?"
A frivolous voice rang out, despite the pretense of poise, but it could not hide the lewdness of it.
Aghia raised her eyes and looked in the direction where the voice came from, and her heart jumped.
Here comes the second son of Shen family.
Aghia stared dead in his face, hatred surging in her eyes.
All the shame and pain of her past life was because of him.
It was he who took Liu Nu, humiliated her, and caused her tragic death. He was also the one who ordered the magistrate to turn himself away from the door. It was because of him that she was sent to Xie Jie's bed by the Shen family, making herself an object to be played with by Xie Jie.
How could she not hate him?
Aghia, half alarmed, half disgusted, took a step back, her voice filled with shock and anger, "Why are you here?"
She stared at him dead, indignant and with disbelief, "Weren't you beaten with thirty lashes... How come you...?"
At this time the Second Young Master Shen should be skin and flesh, like a dog lying on the bed is right. How could he run to Jiyun Temple as if nothing happened?
"How do you know... You are the bitch who complained!" The Second Young Master Shen also froze and immediately reacted, gritting his teeth and grimacing as he walked towards her.
"Good! I was looking for you, but you came to my door yourself!"
When Aghia saw him approaching, her eyelids jumped and she panicked a little, backing up while accusing him, "Those thirty lashes are a holy ruling. How dare you Shen family play a double game. You are simply deceiving the Emperor and ignore everybody else."No wonder in the previous life, the Shen family would be stretched to nine clans to be killed for failing to rebel. It turned out that from this time, there were already hints.Aghia’s fingertips clasped the short dagger in her sleeve, vigilantly stared at the Second Young Master Shen, then out of the corner of her eye she caught a glimpse of a corner of the arcane robe behind the plum grove.The golden dragon embroidery on the top, revealing the identity of the owner of the clothes.It was Xie Jie.Aghia's fingertips jerked, she quickly let out a sigh of relief and pretended she didn't see Xie Jie. She pretended to be pitiful, her voice already trembled slightly,
Aghia stared blankly at the Second Young Master Shen's bloodied face, and in her heart, in addition to the thrill of revenge, she couldn't help but feel a few chills.This is Xie Jie, the tyrant who kills and takes away.Xie Jie cupped her chin so that she had to look at him. Her eyes gradually rose to a layer of watery mist, and she looked away in horror, her eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings, as if she would fall into tears if she pressed one more word."What are you afraid of?" The corners of Xie Jie's mouth curled up slightly. He seemingly smiling, gently brushing her hair, gentle coaxing, only his eyes clearly with a cool color, "He made a move on you. I took it out for you, and you fell out with me?""No, no..." Aghia's fingertips tightened. When she looked at him again, she took on a bit of dependence, and a slight blush surfaced on her face, as if she had gathered enough courage, "He has done much evil and committed
Apologize? It didn’t look like a apologize, but rather a revenge.Aghia slowly walked into the courtyard, looked at Madam Shen, took a deep breath. Coldness flashed in her eyes.In her previous life, it was the same Madam Shen who discovered her beauty and reported to Military Region Commander Shen to send her to Xie Jie.She was also the one who helped the second son of Shen family to suppress Liu Nu's lawsuit in order to establish the image of a good mother, and also made the city's medical centers all turn Liu Nu away, resulting in Liu Nu's high fever and death.Aghia coolly curled her lips, did not hide the disgust in her tone, "I thought who is such unruly, uninvited. It turns out to be Madam Shen... that is normal."Madam Shen's face turned black. But the Mammy beside her was clever. She stepped forward and scolded Aghia in a vicious voice, "Reckless! Our lady is the hostess of the Shen family, show some respect!"Who doesn't know that in th
The next morning, before Aghia could find someone to make an appointment with Xie Jie, Zhou Zhong came to the door first.Behind Zhou Zhong was a low-profile, green-roofed carriage, and he had a smile on his face, "Miss Aghia, Your Majesty's orders, he invites you up to Jiyun Temple for a chat."Aghia curled her lips, glanced at the sneaky figure at the corner of the alley out of the corner of her eye, nodded slightly to cover her sharp aura.Since Zhou Zhong was here, she did not have to bother planning how to get Xie Jie to arrive in time to save her from eldest miss Shen.Robbing people from the hands of the emperor... if used properly, the fall of the Shen family could have been much earlier.The carriage drove out of the alley for a long time, then several thugs came out. They looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and followed up.If the eldest miss Shen didn't get what she wants, they would be the ones who will suffer.Aghia pi
That's a stupid question.Aghia curled her lips and laughed lightly, "Doesn't eldest miss Shen know where you kept this good bunch of dogs to tie me up from?"Eldest miss Shen has panicked, sniffed fiercely towards the thugs.But heard Aghia’s tone full of sarcasm, "From His Majesty's carriage."What?The eldest miss Shen was so frightened that she nearly fell to the ground.She had robbed the person His Majesty wanted to see?Aghia ignored eldest miss Shen's look, lowered her head, and when she raised her face again, the ends of her eyes were already red, and her hair was slightly disheveled.She looked at the approaching figure of Xie Jie. Her voice was full of aggression and shame. Many words stuffed in the throat, she only choked and shouted, "Your Majesty..."Xie Jie finally came, it was not in vain that she took the trouble to play this good show.Jinwu Guard fishtailed in and pinned both the thugs and eldest miss She
With this sentence out, the building was suddenly a dead silence.Eldest miss Shen's eyes widened, finally reacted to what happened, so scared that she threw the knife on the ground and screamed shrilly, "No, no! I want to kill obviously—"You, Aghia!Before she could finish her sentence, she was already slashed by Zhou Zhong in the throat, and fell to the ground without a word, and was dead in a short time.Zhou Zhong took a step forward and knelt down on one knee, "I did not protect you well, please punish me, your Majesty."Xie Jie ignored him, wrapped an arm around Aghia's waist, and gave her a deep look.Aghia's eyes were slightly drooping, her face was white, as if she was weak and about to faint, but her mind was clear.Zhou Zhong was the most able to understand Xie Jie's heart, he did not hesitate to kill eldest miss Shen, indicating that Xie Jie has already moved to kill the Shen family.The first thing she can do is to give X
At midnight, fires burned from the north of the city.The fleeing Shen San really led the rebels and drove straight in through the tunnel and raided the government office where Xie Jie was.Ahya waited for half a day, and finally waited for this moment.She took out a tall red horse from the backyard stables, rolled onto it sharply, patted the horse's head, and spoke in an intimate tone, "Hongluan, I'm counting on you!"Red Luan is a steed raised by Aghia, carrying her out of the escape from the Northern Rong empire, extremely humane.The horse neighs, seemingly in response, and then rushes out, like lightning swift.In front of the government office, there is already a fire, Jin Wu Wei and the rebels killed together, some of the soldiers are dressed in the Northern Rong costume, a glance can see the difference.Ahya heart a sinking, the previous life she did not personally experienced the rebellion, actually did not know that the Northern R
The Jinwu guards came out of the forest in fish and quickly formed up. The leader of the group, in addition to Zhou Zhong, also has an additional tiger-backed martial arts general.Ahya looked at the military general and with a slight raised eyebrow, recognized him.That is the marquis of Zhenbei, Zhong He, a man of great force, one of Xie Jie's beloved. He is guarding the Jiahe Pass, which is extremely close to Wancheng, only a day's walk away.No wonder Xie Jie was emboldened to deal with the Shen family, half afraid of the rebellion in the barracks, the original was transferred early Jiaheguan army to suppress the Shen family rebels.Ahya's eyes were narrowed in contemplation when he saw Zhou Zhong step forward and respectfully asked, "Your Majesty, how should we dispose of the 20,000 captives of the Shen family rebels and the 3,000 Northern Rong cavalry in this battle?""I don't raise sinners." Xie Jie's light-hearted words decided the rebels' life
