Chapter 531 The boomerang hits itself
Wolf ambition...
Xiao Yanli sneered repeatedly, his voice hoarse: "I have wolf ambition? Who forced me to do that? Wasn't it you, the emperor?!"
"Do you know what kind of life I lived in the cold palace?! Have you ever lived the days of eating leftovers, crawling through dog holes, and being ridden like a dog?!"
"Am I not your son? Why can you dote on other people's sons but ignore me!"
Other people's son...
Thinking of what he said just now, all the ministers looked at the emperor obscurely, and the emperor's expression did not waver: "General He died for Tianqi. I naturally have to take care of his only blood."
"I did neglect you, but why do you have to act like this? Haven't you been planning all this for years?"
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Xiao Yanli was clearly referring to Xiao Lingyu, but the emperor insisted on putting the blame on He Yanting.
Everyone had different expressions.
Xiao Yanli's mouth curled up slightly, and he didn't continue to point it out. Instead, he looked at Xiao Lingyu playfully, and then continued: "Planning for years? Your Majesty, you have wronged me. I was just impulsive and obsessed."
His voice was vague, so light that it sounded like a long sigh.
Even the emperor didn't see through his thoughts for a while, and just thought he was resisting.
Zhang Shu, who was standing next to Xiao Yanli, changed color as he realized something was wrong.
Then, in front of everyone's slightly dilated pupils, Xiao Yanli lifted his robe, knelt down neatly, and said in a choked voice: "Father! Everything is because I mistrusted this person!"
Zhang Shu, who was pointed at by him, was furious.
The emperor also looked over and saw a completely unfamiliar face, so he raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Father, you may have forgotten that this is Doctor Zhang, whom you sent to treat me," Xiao Yanli cried without hesitation: "I listened to his words because of his friendship with me when I was young. Now I have committed such a mistake because of his deception!" [
He just stood there and did nothing. I wanted to vomit. 】
【Not to mention that he is still talking now. 】
The others: "..."
The emperor did not speak, and Uncle Zhang knew that it was useless to beg for mercy now, so he drew out the long sword from his waist.
When he came, he thought about what use this sword would be, but none of them was in this situation.
He looked around vigilantly, without even looking at Xiao Yanli.
The emperor was obviously very clear about what Xiao Yanli had done, and it made no difference whether he said it or not.
Xiao Mingye drew his sword and rushed forward.
Uncle Zhang's martial arts were ultimately no match for Xiao Mingye. After a few moves, he could no longer block it. The moment his arm lost its strength, Xiao Mingye pierced his throat!
His head drooped weakly.
Xiao Yanli's throat moved slightly.
The emperor's eyes also moved away from Xiao Yanli and fell on Ji Tong beside him.
It's not that he wanted to let him go out of his mind, but as mentioned before, he was very clear about Xiao Yanli's actions and was just waiting to punish him. In comparison, Ji Tong was more interested in the emperor now.
Ji Tong was frantically thinking of ways to escape in his mind.
"Come and take a look," the emperor pointed at Ji Tong and looked at Jiang Wenjing: "He is the one who holds the evidence to accuse you of treason. Do you know him?"
Ji Tong's body was stiff.
He could feel Jiang Wenjing's eyes on him, and he didn't dare to raise his head.
"Yes," he heard Jiang Wenjing's calm voice, "He is my personal guard in the army."
Ji Tong's heart moved, maybe...
"No, it's not like that," Ji Tong struggled and said, "I can't help it, I really can't help it, General, you have to believe me!"
[Oh, please start your performance.]
Jiang Wenjing almost couldn't pretend anymore because of Jiang Zhiyu's voice. He pinched himself with his fingertips and then looked at Ji Tong.
Ji Tong's eyes were red and his voice choked: "General, I followed you back to Shengjing, one because I had nowhere to go, and the other was to find the whereabouts of my brother, you know this."
"But there has been no clue in Shengjing for many days, and I was seriously injured."
"Just at this time, he captured me and took me to his house. He kept saying that he was a close friend of the general. He also asked about my brother's characteristics and was very enthusiastic to help me find him, so I believed it."
The regret in Ji Tong's eyes did not seem fake. Xiao Yanli was already tearing his eyes out, with the same expression as Uncle Zhang just now.
Ji Tong continued, "I didn't have high hopes at first, but I didn't expect that he really found it, and even threatened me with my brother's life and asked me to testify. I had no choice but to agree..." "
General, this is my fault. I don't ask for your forgiveness, but I only ask you to let my brother live."
He smiled bitterly.
Before everyone could come to their senses, Xiao Yanli was the first to break the rules: "Bullshit! It was obviously you who surrendered to me with those things! How could I threaten you!" He
even swore.
[Okay, the backstab boomerang hit you.]
Ji Tong blinked slightly and looked at Jiang Wenjing who was walking towards him step by step.
He did not expect Jiang Wenjing to really forgive him after hearing this. He knew Jiang Wenjing, and he was a man who cherished old times. Moreover, he had his reasons for doing so.
As long as Jiang Wenjing hesitated and did not attack him immediately, he would have his own way after leaving the palace -
"Puchi" was the sound of a sharp blade piercing the body.
Ji Tong's thoughts were forced to interrupt, and he looked down at the tip of the sword exposed in front of his chest belatedly.
"I shouldn't have killed you. You might be useful in the future battle against Mobei," Jiang Wenjing's voice seemed to come out of an ice cellar, frighteningly cold: "But I can't bear it anymore."
Blood began to flow out of Ji Tong's mouth, and he looked at him blankly.
"As early as when I learned that you were the son of King He Shuo and that you approached me only to steal information, I no longer had any friendship with you," Jiang Wenjing drew out the sword with a "swish". Ji Tong fell to the ground and groaned: "But you insist on mentioning the past again and again, which can only intensify my murderous intentions towards you."
"After all, when I think of the past, I feel sick."
Ji Tong's throat was clogged with blood, and he couldn't speak. He stared at Jiang Wenjing without blinking, and his fingers reached forward, but he had no strength before he touched Jiang Wenjing.
It turned out that he knew everything.
This was Ji Tong's last consciousness.
Jiang Wenjing threw the sword beside him with a "clang" sound.
Xiao Yanli's hand hidden under his sleeve slowly clenched into a fist.
It would be a lie to say that he was indifferent to the death of two people in front of him, but Xiao Yanli would not be scared to death by this.
After all, he had realized before that this might be a trap.
The emperor has few children left now, and even fewer of them are capable. As long as he insists that he listened to others, he still has a chance!
