Chapter 79 Chapter 6 What is the fate of Duke Xiang of Qi

In the other palace, people are panicking right now, everyone is worried about what their fate will be after tonight. Yi Yangjiu watched the panic of the crowd for a while, felt a little bored in his heart, and walked back to the back garden. Unlike everyone else, he knows that he is just a small soldier, and it may be difficult to break out at this time, but if the rebels invade the other palace, he has the plant ability of the primordial spirit "Luoye" to rely on, Just find a random corner with trees and grass, and let the radish leaves weave a camouflaged grass curtain, which can easily escape the eyes and ears of the rebels.

After the situation passed, and then taking advantage of the chaos, they could escape this inexplicable mutiny. Therefore, although everyone was very worried about their own lives, Yi Yangjiu was relaxed, as if he was just watching a not-so-exciting play. After living in the back garden for a while, there was a rustling sound from behind, and Yi Yangjiu turned his head curiously, only to see Qi Xianggong walking over with a frown on his face. Duke Xiang of Qi was taken aback when he saw this little soldier he had never liked, but now that the enemy was at hand, he didn't have time to take care of these small favors and grievances.

Yi Yangjiu looked at the monarch of Qi who had been calling the wind and rain among the feudal states for the past few years, his usually arrogant face had completely disappeared.Instead, there was a worried and desolate look on his face. He looked no different from the ordinary men on the street who were trapped by the pressure of life, but he couldn't help but sympathize with him in his heart. Duke Xiang of Qi closed his eyes, let out a long sigh, and after he finished his sigh, he suddenly realized that in front of this little soldier, acting as a mourning soldier for his children would be detrimental to the majesty of the monarch, so he puffed up his chest unconsciously, "Yeah. Hmph."

"What are you looking at?" Qi Xianggong said coldly, "Do you know that it's rude to look directly at the monarch like this?" Yi Yangjiu smiled and said: "Anyway, we will end up with the same fate soon. At this time, don't you still have time to distinguish that you are the king and I belong to the king?" Qi Xianggong raised his eyebrows, his intuition was about to explode, but thinking about what Yi Yangjiu said was not wrong, he was discouraged by this thought, and his tense face collapsed. "Is this really the case? Is the hero of my life going to die in this wilderness?" Duke Qi Xiang said dejectedly, "Could this be my fate? If this is the case, what is the reason?"

Yi Yangjiu didn't answer. In fact, at this time, he didn't bother to say anything to the monarch who had done many bad things. If there is really retribution in the world, the Qi King shouldn't have a good end. Think about those Qi soldiers who died in vain because of his warlike nature, think about those people from all over the world who were bullied by him, and think about how he killed Duke Huan of Lu because of his incestuous affair, and then blamed his son Peng Sheng behavior. Perhaps, if Qi Xianggong was killed by the rebels today, it would be a happy ending, right? Of course Qi Xianggong didn't understand what he was thinking, so he just said leisurely: "Actually, there are many things that don't make sense when you think about it now." get punished."

Yiyangjiu was silent, but he was a little surprised that such an arrogant and arrogant monarch would have such a sigh. "Actually, we are destined to die, do you know that?" Qi Xianggong said quietly: "But this is also arranged by myself, and I can't blame anyone." "Why do we have to die?" Yiyang Jiuqi said: "Stone Fenru and the others have found the trail and are going to escort you down the mountain?" "If I can find it, I can't find it. In fact, it doesn't matter much, because I am a heinous sinner, and the crime I committed is too great. Now is the time for God to punish me."

Yi Yangjiu pondered for a while, thinking of his incestuous love affair with his sister, as well as the wars caused by him, and felt that what he said was not wrong. But there is one thing that is quite surprising. Although he has not been with Duke Xiang of Qi for too long, he has learned from many rumors that the monarch of Qi State is extremely conceited and never listens to others' advice. What about the words of self-pity and repentance? Although it may be that he knew that the future was difficult and dangerous, good and bad were uncertain, and he had the idea of ​​repentance, but Yi Yangjiu thought about it, but he still didn't think Qi Xianggong was such a person.

I only heard Qi Xianggong continue to say leisurely: "It's really hard to say whether a person is good or evil, good or bad, so let's just say you! I know I'm not good for you, but you saved my life. And at this critical moment, you are still by my side. And like those two bastards Lian Sheng and Guan Zhifu, I have promoted them vigorously since I was the son of the world. Going to them? In the end, it was them who killed me." His personality is exactly as Yi Yangjiu expected, he always only remembers his kindness to others, but never thinks of other people's difficulties. The soldiers at the border guarded outside, unable to return to their hometown for several years.

Yi Yangjiu shook his head secretly, but didn't interrupt him. "However, this can be regarded as my retribution! Because I have done the same thing to my father, and my father took care of me so much, I also want his life. In the world, retribution is really not good. .” After these few words, Yi Yangjiu's eyes couldn't help but widen, because what Qi Xianggong said at this moment is probably the inside story of the palace that no one has ever known, and the seriousness of the matter may shake the foundation of Qi State. "You... ever wanted to harm Duke Xi?" Knowing that he shouldn't ask, Yi Yangjiu couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked cautiously.

"Well! When I was the son of the prince, because I only wanted to ascend the throne early, I had contacts with some strange people very early. These strange people are extremely capable, and everyone has magical ghosts. They often help me exercise some A task that cannot be made public." Although it was strange to say such a statement, Yiyang Jiu immediately understood it when he heard it. These "strange people" presumably belong to the same "family of primordial spirits" like Yi Yangjiu and others. Although Qi Xianggong used "ghost possession" to describe the ability of a strange person, but Yi Yangjiu knew that it must be the ability of the Yuanshen clan.

The primordial spirit, which is invisible and intangible to ordinary people, isn't it an out-and-out "magic ghost"? "Later, my cooperation with these strange people became more and more smooth, and I also felt that they were more and more useful, so through their introduction, I made friends with Ji Guo's 'Mysterious Spider', and they helped me get rid of many people who opposed me. Enemies, later on I became more ambitious and planned with them to launch an assassination during the "Cooking Supreme" conference and kill my father, so that I could justifiably ascend to the position of the monarch. However, this mission later They failed, and they told me that their mission failed because of the appearance of ghosts opposing them." Hearing this, Yi Yangjiu's heart suddenly moved, but he found a faint flaw. He thought for a while, then interjected and asked: "These... What kind of people are the ghosts who oppose them? Are they also strange people like them?" Qi Xianggong thought for a while, then shook his head. "They didn't say anything about this. They must be strange people who are as elusive as they are! If I knew who they were, I would have eliminated them a long time ago. Is there any need to say anything else?" Hearing his answer, Yi Yangjiu was even more puzzled, and the flaw in that link was even more obvious. You must know that it was Yiyangjiu, Kaifang, Shu Diao and others who repelled the assassination troops such as the "Xuan Spider" that day. It is impossible for a member of the Yuanshen tribe not to know that Yiyangjiu and others are also of the Yuanshen tribe. However, at this moment, Qi Xianggong obviously didn't know that Yi Yangjiu in front of him was also one of the "strange people", and he was still talking with him. This... Where did it go wrong? I only heard Qi Xianggong continue to say: "After I become the king, the whole country will become mine. I have all the troops of Qi State in my hands, so I don't need to use these small-nosed and small-eyed assassination groups anymore. So I assigned these people to Lian Cheng and Young Master Peng Sheng to take care of them. Later, Young Master Peng Sheng was killed by me, and only Lian Cheng was left to really contact these strange people. I was still thinking about these strange people Handing it over to my most trusted general, that was the best way I could manage the country's army. In order to win Lian Cheng, I took his sister as the princess, but I never expected that this bastard would be so ungrateful in the end... " While talking, Qi Xianggong counted his anger for a long time, but then became angry again for no reason, reprimanded Yi Yangjiu, and ordered him to go away, but Yiyang Jiu didn't bother to argue with him, so he left the back garden . After nightfall, the servant who was whipped by Duke Xiang of Qi during the day rushed into Duke Xiang's bedroom in a panic and stammered for a long time before telling the situation outside the palace. It turned out that after the eunuch was whipped by Qi Xianggong during the day, he was afraid that the cruel monarch might kill him even if he was still angry. In fear, he planned to sneak out of the other palace by the path, but that even said it was really magical. It is vast, and even the passage of the trail has been guarded by soldiers. The eunuch walked on the trail for a while, and was tied up by the soldiers. Ask the eunuch to go back to the other palace as an internal response, and lead the company's troops to find Qi Xianggong. But although the eunuch was timid, he was very loyal to Duke Xiang of Qi. For fear of being killed by Lian Cheng, he pretended to be their internal response. When he came back, he reported the intention of the rebels to Duke Xiang of Qi. Not long after, there was a noisy sound of soldiers and horses outside the other palace, everyone in the other palace was shocked, Shi Zhifen led the remnant soldiers to guard the palace gate, the eunuch who reported the letter volunteered, willing to serve Duke Xiang of Qi Go to assassinate Lian Cheng. Another courtier, Meng Yang, who was favored by Duke Xiang of Qi, was lying on Duke Xiang of Qi's big bed, pretending that Duke Xiang of Qi was sleeping there, in order to hide the eyes and ears of the rebels. Yi Yangjiu looked at the commotion of the crowd, like the most desperate bereaved dog, and couldn't help but feel a little sad, but after all, he was alone, and he couldn't save so many lives, so he had to wait and see what happened. Bored, he walked through the promenade, walked on the dark floor, walked to the end, turned a corner, and saw Qi Xianggong sitting on the ground in a daze. This normally invincible monarch of the Qi Kingdom has now become the most helpless homeless mouse, not only helpless, but also a street mouse that everyone wants to get and kill. With a loud "bang", Lian Cheng's troops finally couldn't hold back, broke through the palace gate and stormed in. The bald Stone Fen seemed to meet him, and he and the leader Lian Cheng raised their weapons to fight each other. For example, despite his great strength, Lian Cheng is a skilled warrior, and within a few moves, this bald warrior stepped on the stone steps and was hacked to death by Lian Cheng. Yi Yangjiu and Qi Xianggong hid on the long corridor, watching the thrilling battle scene through the window sill, secretly startled, Qi Xianggong even sat softly on the ground, muttering words. And the man who falsely reported the news came out to meet him, as if he wanted to say something to Lian Cheng, he drew a short knife from his body and stabbed Lian Cheng in the chest. With a sound of "Zheng", the dagger pierced Lian Cheng's metal battle armor, unable to hurt him at all, Lian Cheng was furious, and with a backhand knife, he chopped the eunuch into two pieces. He killed two confidantes of Duke Xiang of Qi in a row, and the light of blood intensified his killing intent, so he raised his shining giant blade and shouted loudly: "Find out that licentious and foolish king, and tear him to pieces!" Hearing such a tragic cry, Qi Xianggong's face was pale in the dark light of the corridor, Yi Yangjiu shook his head, and didn't want to talk to him anymore, he turned around and planned to leave. At this time, Qi Xianggong murmured something, but Yi Yangjiu stopped in his footsteps. At this critical moment, Qi Xianggong murmured: "I only hope that Wen Jiang will be safe and happy all his life." Hearing his words, countless images suddenly flashed in Yi Yangjiu's heart. He thought of the brother and sister's determination to fall in love regardless of the contempt of the world. He also remembered the scene of Wen Jiang crying in his arms. Although Duke Xiang of Qi and Wen Jiang's love affair was only infamous through the ages, but in the end, before he died, he thought about Wen Jiang's safety, and only hoped to live happily ever after. With just such a sentence, Yi Yangjiu's heart surged with enthusiasm, and he decided to save Qi Xianggong's life for Wen Jiang. With his mind set, he lifted Qi Xianggong's collar and pulled him up. "Go!" He whispered, "It's for Wen Jiang, I will save your life!" When Qi's rebel general Lian Cheng broke through the other palace, there were only scattered guards and attendants left in the other palace. His troops were like a group of tigers and wolves rushing into a flock of sheep in twos and threes. Not only did they have no resistance, Even people rarely meet a few. Seeing such a sparse crowd, he cried out in his heart that it was a pity, knowing that Qi Xianggong might have escaped, if that was the case, then all this hard work might be in vain. Because the monarch who leaves the capital is like a dragon caught in the shallows, even fish and shrimp can bully him and put him to death. But if the dragon made him return to the sea again, it would be a great disaster. At least for Yu Xia who had bullied him, that would be very bad. In the gloomy other palace, Lian Cheng still felt as if he was facing a great enemy. He led his troops and carried weapons to guard against him. He was afraid that Qi Xianggong would ambush his soldiers in the dark and wait for work. Maybe he would send him off instead. Lose a life. He quietly came to the bedroom, and saw that the lights inside were also dim, reflecting the moonlight with sparse branches and leaves outside the window, slowly swaying in the quiet space. On the luxurious big bed in the bedroom, there was a person lying on the bed. When he saw it, he was overjoyed, so he swung the giant blade and ran towards the bed. The light of the knife flashed, and the blood burst out, and the head of the person lying on the bed was removed without a sound. When it came down, it fell to the ground with a "gudong". "Kill you damn traitor!" But he took a closer look at the severed head. Although it was bloody and bloody, it was white and beardless. It's not your king, Duke Xiang!" Lian Cheng ordered his subordinates to search everywhere, even the back garden, but there was no trace of Duke Xiang of Qi. Such a busy business is about to come to naught. Lian Cheng stomped his feet angrily, feeling even more annoyed. At this moment, someone in the army smiled lightly. "General! I don't think that Duke Xiang may have escaped!" Lian Cheng was overjoyed, and looked back at that person, only to see a small man walking out of the army, with a wretched appearance and a sickly face. But behind him, there is a vague phantom that looks like a huge insect. It turned out that this traitorous general even said that he was a member of the Yuanshen tribe just like the young master Peng Sheng, but because the young master Peng Sheng did not have the ability to see the Yuanshen, he did not know that there was a Yuanshen behind him until his death, and only thought that he was a Yuanshen. His supernatural power was innate, but he didn't know that it was all caused by the "Hercules" behind him. However, Lian Cheng's primordial spirit is indeed invisible. His primordial spirit can make people feel sore and weak in an instant, unable to resist. When he was in Linzi City, Yiyangjiu was once restrained by him. At this moment, Lian Cheng looked in the direction of the troops, and he could already see a few primordial spirits floating above the crowd. Knowing that these primordial spirits had arrived, he couldn't help but feel refreshed. You must know that most of the Yuanshen people have strange abilities that are difficult for ordinary people to reach. With the help of these strange people today, maybe Qi Xianggong did not escape far, and there is still a chance to catch him. Hearing what the insect primordial spirit said, Lian Cheng nodded and said loudly: "Since that's the case, let's go after it!" The little insect Yuanshen was named Fan Wuzi, a member of the Yuanshen clan from the state of Jin. At this moment, he shook his head and said with a sharp laugh: "Why chase after him? It's just that a clever friend hid him. Let's find him." Find it." Lian Cheng was startled, and said happily: "You mean that old thief is still around? Where is it?" "If it's not here, it's there," Fan Wuzi said with a smile: "In short, no matter where it is, it can't escape my hands." Lian said to drive away all the soldiers of the army, leaving only a few people behind, and behind these people, there are phantoms with different shapes and colors. Now, only the Yuanshen people are left. Fan Wuzi grinned, and stretched out his thin hand to a young man with an elegant appearance. "Mr. Duanmudi, please lend me your silk shoes." Floating gently behind that elegant young man Duanmudi is that disgusting red snot-shaped primordial spirit. His primordial spirit can change all images and confuse people's minds. He pretends to be the son Peng Sheng in the hunting ground during the daytime. The primordial spirit of man. In addition to this ability, Duanmudi also has the ability to communicate with animals, just like the vertical mink, so he can control the wild boars in the mountains and forests. During the day, after Qi Xianggong fell off his chariot, he once lost a silk shoe and was carried away by the big green wild boar. Of course it is now in Duanmudi's hands. Fan Wuzi took Qi Xianggong's silk shoes, smiled, and threw the light silk shoes into the air. "Look for it! Look for it!" He murmured, "Who is the owner of this silk shoe, find him for me!" I saw the insect primordial spirit behind him tremble, separated a few insects like smoke, and "lifted" the silk shoes tremblingly in the air. Everyone held their breath and watched the silk shoes fluttering in the air, sliding out of the bedroom, and slowly moving towards the corridor. In the long corridor, there is silence at the moment, as if there has been no human breath for many years. The silk shoes fluttered and wobbled in the long corridor, and then they suddenly lost their support when they reached a wooden wall covered with ivy, and a few phantom-like insects suddenly disappeared, with a "pop", the The silk shoes fell to the ground.
