In her previous life, Wen Xingluo poured her heart and soul into planning a future for her father and brothers, finally ushering in the day of her family's prominence.
However, her older ...
Chapter 348 Is this damn girl Wen Xingluo crazy? !
Xie Zhe opened the ancient book with trembling anxiety.
I thought it was a treasure map, or at least some kind of secret manual of martial arts, but there were only three words written on the old title page: "Essential Techniques of Agriculture and Forestry".
"What...what is this?"
He couldn't find his voice.
He hurriedly flipped through a dozen pages before he could see clearly that this was actually a farming book about how to farm!
His eyes were bloodshot and he was turning the pages faster and faster.
The imagined rare treasures are all occupied by the words "rice, wheat and millet" in the field of vision.
He held the book, stared at Wei Si, and asked again in disbelief, "Wei Si, tell me, what is this?!"
"It's the Agricultural Book." Wei Si spoke calmly, gazing at the empty treasury. "If I'm not mistaken, the treasures of Baiyujing were taken by my father long ago during the war with you to subsidize the people whose homes were destroyed by the war. Xie Zhe, you should know that unlike you, who side with the aristocratic families, my father and brother both adhere to the policy of 'sharing wealth with the people.' Whether it's land or taxes, they are trying every possible way to 'equalize the rich and the poor' so that the people can live a good life."
She took the agricultural book from Xie Zhe's hand and smiled. "Aren't the so-called rare treasures actually food? The world can be without gold, silver, and jewelry, but it cannot be without food. I think my father left this agricultural book here to warn future rulers to cultivate good land, work tirelessly, and cherish the people's livelihood."
Xie Zhe's face turned ashen.
He spent countless manpower and material resources, and gambled everything to enter Baiyujing, for the sake of immense wealth and immortality!
He didn't come here for this crappy book!
He tore the agricultural book into pieces, but still felt unsatisfied.
He looked up in all directions, shouting like a madman, "Wei He, is it fun to deceive me and toy with me?! Wei He, I will dig you out of the imperial mausoleum, whip your corpse, chop off your head, and grind your bones to scatter ashes!"
No one answered him.
Only the distorted voice of hatred remained, echoing repeatedly in the empty treasure house.
Xie Zhe took a few steps back as if exhausted, and only managed to stand steady by holding on to the table.
He looked at the white hair hanging down from his temples and suddenly realized that he was at the end of his road.
wrong.
He still has leverage.
He grabbed Wei Si and stared at her with an extremely fiery look. "Perhaps, I can use your life in exchange for a path to heaven. I think that neither Wei Ning nor the King of Zhenbei would be willing to let you die."
The rough palm gently stroked the woman's smooth cheek.
It seems to express affectionate love, but also like an item being sold at a high price.
Wei Si looked at him without any fear in her eyes.
She pursed her lips and smiled softly, "Xie Zhe, I won't let you use me. Let's end our grudge here."
As soon as she finished speaking, she pulled out the golden hairpin.
Wei Si was about to fight Xie Zhe to the death when she suddenly heard someone shouting in the distance:
"mother!"
She was stunned for a moment, and looking back, she saw Wen Xingluo and Wei Ying rushing over.
Wei Ying was extremely anxious and shouted, "Auntie is a princess. She will enjoy her old age and we, the younger generation, will take care of her. How can we let Xie Zhe, a rat from the gutter, perish with her?"
"I don't want my mother to die!" Wen Xingluo rarely lost her composure. Tears suddenly flowed down her face as she spoke, her voice choked and broken. "My father doesn't love me, and my brother and sister have never taken me seriously. I... I just had a mother..."
Wei Si's eyes turned red, "Ningning..."
"Wei Si!"
Someone else shouted, it was Mei Chuyi and Zhang Tingliu chasing after them.
Mei Chuyi stared at her childhood playmate, walked towards her step by step, and said in a hoarse voice: "Si Si, it was my Mei family who let you down in the past. I thought I would be happy when I became the queen, and I thought the Mei family would rise to fame by following the emperor, but in the end..."
The Mei family ended up with a fate where the cunning rabbit died and the running dog was cooked.
Even she herself has completely lost the right to be a mother.
Mei Chuyi laughed at herself, "Si Si, it seems there is no winner between you and me."
"Winner?" Wei Si stared at her best childhood playmate for a long moment before saying seriously, "I never considered competing with you for the title. I knew you were incredibly competitive, so when I was younger, I hoped you would have a better life than me. I just didn't expect you to achieve that by betraying my father and brother, and me."
"I haven't had a good life!" Mei Chuyi suddenly collapsed, "Si Si, I haven't had a good life in the past twenty years..."
Even though she is the mother of the country and controls the harem.
However, her two elder brothers passed away one after another, she had no children for many years, and was not favored by her husband.
How is she doing well?
"That's enough." Zhang Tingliu said impatiently, "If you want to reminisce about the past, could you please do so later? The most urgent thing is to resolve—"
The fear of Xie Zhe deep in her heart prompted her to subconsciously stop talking.
Xie Zhe glared at them.
Three young and aging women.
Do they want to kill him?
His gaze fell on something not far away.
Wen Xingluo and Wei Ying just stood there, anxiously worried about Wei Si.
The man slowly turned his old eyes.
After today's battle, he already knew how important Wen Xingluo was to Xie Guanlan.
If we can control Wei Si and Wen Xingluo, why worry about not being able to accomplish anything great?
He laughed a few times, "It's really like someone brings a pillow when you're sleepy. I thought my life was at the end, but I didn't expect that there would be light at the end of the tunnel——"
"How do you know we are not here to take your life?" Wen Xingluo said calmly.
"Oh, just you guys?"
Wen Xingluo organized his words, intending to buy time with Xie Zhe so that the side effects of the elixir he swallowed would take effect. Unexpectedly, Mei Chuyi suddenly pulled out a dagger and said, "Only us!"
She gritted her teeth, and with intense resentment, she thrust the dagger into Xie Zhe's abdomen!
How can I not hate it?
Compared to men, her biological brother is naturally more important.
However, without her knowing, Xie Zhe actually killed her two brothers!
It even caused her to never be able to become a mother again in this life!
Xie Zhe was furious, "Mei Chuyi, you're looking for death!"
He slapped Mei Chuyi on the head.
Mei Chuyi suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground in a mess.
"Xie Zhe! You have to pay with my parents' lives!"
Wei Ying also hated Xie Zhe very much.
She drew her sword and used almost all her strength to try to kill the evil man in front of her.
"Your parents were defeated by me. They deserved to die!"
Xie Zhe grasped the blade and broke it with his backhand.
Without hesitation, he stabbed Wei Ying with the broken sword!
Wei Ying dodged with two somersaults. Xie Zhe wanted to chase after her, but was suddenly stabbed from behind.
He froze and looked back in surprise.
Zhang Tingliu held the remaining half of the broken sword, her haggard face filled with hatred. "In my life, I have never wronged Your Majesty. It is Your Majesty who has let me down, and it is Your Majesty who has let my child down!"
"Bitch!"
Xie Zhe was furious and knocked her away with a palm.
The elixir strengthened his body. He was holding the broken sword and was about to get rid of Wei Ying, the most troublesome person. However, just after taking two steps, his feet suddenly shook.
The entire Baiyu Palace was shaking.
He looked over in surprise and saw Wen Xingluo pushing a mechanism embedded in the wall.
He roared, "Wei Ning, what did you do?!"
"I saw it on the sheepskin map my mother gave me. This is Baiyujing's self-destruct mechanism." Wen Xingluo looked at him steadily. "Xie Zhe, my mother and I will not be your tools to threaten the Zhenbei Palace. I want you to die in Baiyujing."
The girl was bright and delicate, but what she did shocked Xie Zhe.
Even if the treasures in Baiyujing were emptied, this palace, including the countless luminous pearls inlaid on the outer dome, is still very valuable.
Destroy it just like that, is this damn girl Wen Xingluo crazy?!
Xie Zhe froze for a moment before coming to his senses. Feeling the palace shaking under his feet, he didn't bother to fight with Wei Ying anymore and immediately fled outside.
Wen Xingluo called out, "Cousin!"
Wei Ying descended from the sky nimbly, kicked Xie Zhe on the head, and kicked him deep into the treasure house.
