Chapter 21 The Crow Kills People!
Xie Jingci rose from a small soldier to a god of war whose achievements were so great that they frightened the emperor.
He has experienced countless life-and-death battles.
I also understand best that some villains in the gutter may very likely deal a fatal blow to me at a critical moment.
Lu Wanyin had just been married to him for two days and had never had any contact with Aunt Zhang before, but Aunt Zhang still had evil intentions towards her.
Such a villain, keeping him here will only cause trouble.
Moreover, his injuries have healed. If he disagrees with Lu Wanyin's behavior, he can stop her before she takes action.
"Madam, it is wise to eliminate the root of the problem."
Xie Jingci smiled, his deep eyes as gentle as spring water, reflecting Lu Wanyin's stunning face.
It seemed to have a mysterious magic that could draw her into his eyes.
Bang bang bang!
Lu Wanyin bit the tip of her tongue. The pain distracted her and stopped her heart from beating wildly, but she felt inexplicably weak.
Lu Wanyin, who never dared to confide in anyone in the apocalypse, really disliked this feeling.
She pushed Xie Jingci to the ground and said, "If you're injured, just lie down. If you make me unhappy, I won't let you go!"
Xuan Qi subconsciously reached out to support Xie Jingci, but his hand stopped as soon as it was extended.
Everyone thought that he was the one who shot the dagger that had just pierced the jailer's arm, because there was only him and Xie Jingci, whose tendons had been cut, in that direction.
But it wasn't him.
Xuan Qi silently glanced at his general's wrist, which was bandaged with rags and the injury could not be seen at all.
It is a blessing that the general is safe.
Xie Jingci rarely failed to notice the strangeness of his men, so he lay back on the straw with a faint smile on his face, "I'll listen to you, Madam."
These obedient words gave goose bumps to the old lady who was about to stop Lu Wanyin.
She withdrew her foot and sat back in her original position in a daze.
Tonight is undoubtedly the most difficult night for the hungry Xie family.
As a ray of light shone through the fist-shaped hole in the cell wall, the sound of iron chains rubbing against the ground echoed in the closed cell.
The echoes kept overlapping, as if a ghost was approaching step by step to claim his life.
Everyone in the Xie family was so hungry that they felt dizzy and couldn't sleep well. They would be awakened by the slightest sound of the wind.
At the end of the prison, the first person to appear was the jailer carrying shackles, followed by nearly a hundred Yulin guards with long swords on their waists.
A group of people came like autumn wind blowing fallen leaves, and without saying a word, they put wooden shackles and ankle chains on the terrified Xie family.
It would have been fine for the others, but no one dared to attack Xie Jingci.
After all, a fallen god of war is still a god of war!
Feng Ji, who replaced Huo Kaicheng, saw that his men did not dare to approach Xie Jingci and Lu Wanyin and others around him, so he had no choice but to move forward.
He first bowed respectfully and said "excuse me".
Then he put the wooden yoke on Xie Jingci's head.
The wooden yoke consists of two wooden boards that can be opened and closed to the left and right, weighing up to thirty pounds. The criminal's hands are passed through small holes and then put on heavy chains.
It takes less than three months to break a person's shoulder.
Lu Wanyin gestured to the guards to put the wooden shackle on her, saying, "The tendons in his hands and feet have been severed by the emperor you are loyal to. He is already a cripple who can't even walk. Why put these shackles on him?"
Most of the Yulin Guards saw Xie Jingci for the first time since he fell into trouble.
Only then did I realize that his body was covered in bloodstains, and the rags bandaged around his wrists and feet were also stained with blood.
The bloodstains that had dried long ago were black, like dark clouds suddenly descending on a summer day, making it hard for them to breathe.
They are all military generals, and they all work hard for the emperor.
Seeing the god of war who defended his country end up like this, who can not feel sad?
Xie Jingci looked at Lu Wanyin deeply across the guards.
She knew that his injury had healed, but she still mentioned it in front of these generals.
This was intended to shake the emperor's position in the hearts of military generals.
Can a girl who has been trapped in the harem for many years develop the intention to rebel against the king and put it into action in such a short time?
Lu Wanyin looked back dimly.
Xie Jingci understood and drooped his shoulders, subtly revealing a bit of weakness.
He laughed bitterly: "Yeah, he's already a useless person, can't he be at ease?"
Whether the so-called crime of treason is true or false, no one knows better than the Yulin Guards who protect the emperor's safety, except the parties involved.
Three days ago, Xie Jingci entered the palace alone without any weapons.
What rebellion can you plot?
However, it is also possible that the emperor noticed Xie Jingci's rebellious intentions, so he lured the enemy deep into his territory and took the initiative.
Because of this possibility, and because the throne was stable, the Imperial Guards did not dare to think too much.
But now that Xie Jingci said this, does it prove that the emperor was indeed afraid of the powerful ministers, so he framed them and killed them?
The emperor is so narrow-minded, who can guarantee that he won't be the one framed next time?
Just a few words were enough to stir up a storm in the hearts of the Yulin Guards.
Seeing that his men were persuaded, Feng Ji quickly scolded them.
He also urged them to take the person out quickly, so that he would not be shaken in his position and lose his life again.
The emperor cannot tolerate powerful ministers, let alone people with ulterior motives.
The Yulin Guards also thought of this, and they swiftly carried Xie Jingci out, and then pushed the rest of the people out.
After walking out of the prison, the Xie family finally saw the long-lost sunshine and smelled the fresh air.
But before they could even utter a sigh, they were hit by a torrential downpour of rotten eggs and leaves.
"Kill those traitors! Kill them!"
The personal guards, led by Xuan Qi, immediately surrounded Xie Jingci, Lu Wanyin, the old lady and Liuying, blocking the dirty and smelly attacks.
Lu Wanyin knew that in this era of supreme imperial power, public opinion could easily be influenced by the emperor.
But he was still shocked by the furious people in front of him.
You know, Xie Jingci walked on the edge of death countless times to maintain peace on the border and save the people of Dasheng from suffering from war.
But in just three days, the people regarded the god of war who defended their country as a traitor who wanted to start another war.
As soon as they saw him, they became excited and started cursing.
Is it that the emperor is too good at manipulating people's hearts, or that the people are too heartless?
Zhou's face was covered with rotten vegetable leaves, and she vomited violently.
He caught a glimpse of Lu Wanyin and the others being safe and sound, and without thinking much else, he quickly ran over to borrow the help of his personal guards to provide cover.
While walking, he was accidentally bumped into by someone and screamed, which immediately drew Lu Wanyin's attention back.
Lu Wanyin twirled her fingers calmly.
Suddenly, a high-pitched and exciting cry was heard in the sky.
The Yulin Guards secretly thought that something was wrong.
But before they could react, a black flock of crows flew over from the eastern sky.
Thousands of crows cried together, with a force as shocking as the cry of an eagle.
Huo Kaicheng's seventh day of death has not yet arrived, and it is impossible for the Yulin Guards not to be afraid of these crows.
In addition, they had just learned that the emperor was persecuting loyal officials, and their loyalty had been shaken, and now they even had the idea of escaping.
The people had also heard of crows killing people, and they were so scared that they either fled in all directions or froze in place.
“Help!”
Shouts and cries came one after another.
