Zang Qing's eyes were calm.
"It really made my land dirty."
As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled out a dagger and stabbed it into his chest.
The dripping blood instantly soaked his white clothes.
And he was completely unaware.
He picked up the hoe beside him and slowly began to dig the hole.
After digging a human-shaped deep pit, he had reached his limit. The flowers and trees in front of him became blurred and turned into a light crimson cloud.
He rolled over and fell into the grave he had prepared.
No one in this world can kill him.
Unless he dies himself.
Since the day Ji Yue died, the foreshadowing of his suicide for love was laid.
*
Dongling Kingdom, the imperial study in the palace.
Wei Shengxuan knocked on the desk made of gold and jade, making crisp sounds echo.
Although his face was old, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's and his voice was full of majesty.
"Have you received a letter?"
Ever since Mu Lichen left, he has had all his intelligence networks transmitting messages non-stop.
Just break for a moment.
This proves that the hunting mission has failed.
The person kneeling below spoke in a heavy voice.
"Sir, it's been half an incense stick and no news has come back."
Wei Shengxuan's eyes were calm, full of understanding.
"Heh, it would be strange if the descendants of the Leng Mu family could be killed so easily."
As he spoke, he raised his eyes to the young man in red standing beside him and said, "I told you not to go, am I right?"
Of all the families, he feared the Leng Mu family the most.
They are the real secret weapon of the Zhou royal family.
"Thank you, sir. Otherwise, I would probably be beheaded right now. I just want to see what kind of person my father is."
Ji Wuwang frowned, his eyes full of complexity.
Wei Shengxuan looked disapproving.
"It doesn't matter who your father is, what matters is who your mother is. This time we have tested the strength of the Leng Mu family. Let Guangyao Palace send the Tianjue assassin to clean up the mess. Such a person must not become an enemy."
"Okay, I'll send someone to call him back. Sir, the Murong family has surrendered, and the Nangong family... should we kill him?"
Ji Wuwang asked.
Wei Shengxuan's eyes were full of consideration.
"The strength of the Nangong family cannot be underestimated. With a major plan imminent, it is not appropriate to waste manpower and cause casualties by sending people to persuade them to surrender."
The conversation between the two ended.
A summons came from outside.
"The Great Princess of Nanzhao requests an audience."
Wei Shengxuan waved his hand, "Pass it on."
Soon, a woman in a blue lotus flower pleated skirt slowly walked into the hall.
She leaned forward and knelt, and the silver phoenix ornament on her forehead hit the ground, making a crisp sound.
"Meet Mr. Weisheng."
Wei Shengxuan narrowed his eyes, "High Priest Mu is dead, when does the Great Princess plan to fulfill her promise?"
Long Lingzhi's voice was calm.
"Today, Nanzhao will submit to Dongling and publicize the Zhou royal family's legitimacy. I only hope that you, sir, will spare my younger brother's life and let him be an idle nobleman."
Ji Wuwang sneered, his narrow eyes full of mockery.
"Mu Lichen is a sinister and cunning man. It turns out that he can't resist the temptation of beauty. The Great Princess is really very smart."
Long Lingzhi's face turned pale for a moment.
"The high priest...is obsessed with witchcraft, which will only cause Nanzhao to fall into the abyss. I am only doing this for the greater good."
Ji Wuwang raised his eyebrows slightly and lifted Long Lingzhi's chin.
"You tricked Mu Lichen into going to Tingxue Tower, which counts as a merit, barely saving your brother from death. What about you? What do you want to exchange for yourself?"
Long Lingzhi gritted her teeth and said, "Mu Lichen taught me formations and mechanisms, and I learned them as well as he did."
Ji Wuwang was really surprised.
"He actually taught you the Mu family's unique skills? Tsk tsk, he deserved his death. Go down, in the future, you will be the first female official in Dongling."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Long Lingzhi stood up and left.
After walking out of the palace, she staggered and fell to the ground.
The guard next to her helped her up.
Long Lingzhi wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes calmly, thanked him, and fled from the palace.
Inside the palace.
Ji Wuwang put away his nonchalant look.
His eyes were full of eagerness and undisguised ambition.
"Sir, let's get started."
