"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" Wei Yian asked.
He Zheng's voice was calm, "Longxi Defense Map."
"As long as you give me the Longxi defense map, I will let you go."
Longxi Defense Map? !
Wei Yian's face was filled with shock, and his voice rose a few notches: "Why do you want to deploy a defense map? Are you going to attack Longxi again?"
As long as he gets the defense map, He Zheng will know the deployment of Longxi troops.
As far as he knew, Marquis Anguo had no military power, so his request for a defense map was probably His Majesty's idea.
"Your Majesty is finally going to take action against the Wei family?"
He Zheng didn't answer, but simply said, "My patience is limited, just do what I have assigned to you."
"You don't have to do it. You can just become a beheaded ghost tomorrow."
Wei Yian's throat choked, and he couldn't find the courage to say no.
The Marquis of Anguo held the power of life and death over him.
His face was gloomy, and a thin layer of sweat had already seeped out on his back. He mustered up the courage to ask tentatively, "Marquis Anguo is so confident? Aren't you afraid that I'll tell others?"
He Zheng's eyes were dark and unclear as he stroked the ring.
"You won't have a chance to tell anyone. If you do this, you'll be courting death."
"Of course, you can go and tell the King of Hell."
The interest in his eyes flickered away.
Wei Yian's body trembled violently, and he stopped struggling. "Okay, I promise you, I'll go get the defense map."
What he wanted was to avoid the danger tomorrow first, and then find another opportunity to escape after he escaped from this cell.
No matter how powerful Marquis Anguo is, he cannot keep an eye on him all the time. His men will definitely have moments of negligence and slackness, which is his chance to escape.
But the next moment, He Zheng shattered his hopes again.
"You should be thinking about keeping me safe first, and then waiting for an opportunity to escape after you are out of the cell."
"But you've been poisoned. If you don't return within a month to exchange the defense map for the antidote, you'll die suddenly."
"What? Poisoned?" Wei Yian's face changed completely.
"When did you poison me?"
He didn't even notice!
Wei Yian's voice was trembling. "No, you are lying to me? You are lying..."
He Zheng simply didn't have the patience to watch him go crazy anymore. He said indifferently, "I will send someone to go to Longxi with you. They will return immediately after getting the defense map."
The defense map is naturally not Wei Yian’s only value.
The deployment map is just a fuse.
He Zheng believed that this chess piece would not let him down.
After he finished speaking, He Zheng turned and left the dungeon. Wei Yian's hysterical voice, angry roars, gasps, and howls were heard behind him.
When He Zheng came out of the dungeon, Xi Feng went forward to meet him.
"Sir, the secret agents have intercepted and blocked the news from Shangjing City to Longxi. Wei Yian's affairs will not be spread to Longxi."
He Zheng paused and nodded calmly, "Also, intercept all news from Longxi, strengthen the screening at the city gate, and prevent the Longxi King's spies from entering the capital."
Xi Feng: “Yes!”
This is to make the King of Longxi lose his absolute control over Longxi. I am afraid that even the King of Longxi will not know what chaos is happening in Longxi next.
King of Longxi, ah King of Longxi, this local emperor entered the capital, and his master's territory was in chaos. Even a strong dragon could not suppress a local snake, so he was still suppressed by his master.
By the time King Longxi realized something was wrong and received the news, it was too late.
Xi Feng chuckled and said, "It's a pleasure to follow you, sir. When it comes to intelligence and cunning, the King of Longxi can never compare to you, sir."
The next day came in a flash.
At noon, the sun is very strong.
In the busy Caishikou, officers and soldiers maintained order.
Wei Yian was executed in public here, with He Zheng personally supervising the execution.
Next to the execution platform, He Zheng sat in his seat, with handsome features and a calm and peaceful look.
He took the teacup from the table and just quietly sipped the Jingting Green Snow.
This tea was prepared by Xie Qingyao for him when he went out. She said that the tea outside was coarse and he couldn't get used to it, so it was better to drink the tea at home.
Xie Qingyao also reminded him that the sun was quite strong at noon, so it was best to bring an umbrella to avoid getting sunburned.
He Zheng didn't care at first, but when he thought of Xie Qingyao's instructions, a smile suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he turned his head to instruct his followers.
The follower stood beside He Zheng, holding an umbrella to block the scorching sun.
"Wei Yian" was taken to the execution platform, surrounded by the crowd.
The King of Longxi did not come, and neither did the King of Kang.
When the time came, He Zheng gave the cold order: "Behead."
Everyone witnessed how the second son of the King of Longxi, who was once high and mighty and arrogant, was killed in an instant.
"Your Highness, the young master..." The people below reported to the King of Longxi.
The King of Longxi's expression changed, and he suddenly picked up the incense burner on the table and smashed it hard on the ground.
"Bang--"
The room was dead silent, and the subordinates broke out in a cold sweat.
On this trip to the capital, the prince lost a son.
"Damn it! He Zheng! Your Majesty!"
"Killing my son, is this taking advantage of the fact that there are no soldiers in Longxi? I, Longxi's 200,000 soldiers and horses, will never agree to this."
"Your Majesty must be old and used to a peaceful life, so he has forgotten who put him on the throne in the first place."
"It's our Wei family. Without the Wei family, Your Majesty wouldn't be where he is today. It's all thanks to our Wei family."
"What if the Wei family wants to dominate the world? What if they want to be above all other aristocratic families? What if they want to control the imperial power?"
"The Wei family has the confidence!"
At this moment, the King of Longxi's desire to rebel became stronger and stronger, and he could hardly bear it anymore.
I have been enduring for so many years, just because I want to be justified and have my name recorded in history.
