Chapter 49 Wolf Boy's Dark Moonlight Master 17
Xie Ziyi brought his troops back. When Shen Xinran looked at Xie Ziyi, he was worried.
Why? Because the Wang family would use the Xie family's cavalry to charge into battle, and Xie Ziyi died under the scheming of Wang Wende and Wang Shichang, father and son.
For Xie Ziyi, this is a situation where he is doomed to fail.
So, Shen Xinran asked the system: "Can I help you, big brother?"
System: "Host, you are the tasker. If you interfere too much in the plot of this small world, this branch will be broken, causing this small world to collapse directly."
Shen Xinran was stunned, "Then I can't just watch my brother die!"
Since she used Xie Zhirou's body, she had Xie Zhirou's emotions. She sincerely regarded Xie Ziyi as her elder brother, not to mention that Xie Ziyi was so good to her.
System: "This war has a huge impact on the subsequent plot. As long as the outcome of this war remains unchanged, you can help with other matters as appropriate."
After much contemplation, Shen Xinran decided to give Xie Ziyi a heart-protecting mirror. Because in the plot, Xie Ziyi died from an arrow in the chest, he only hoped that this heart-protecting mirror could help him avoid the fatal arrow.
Xie Ziyi held the heart-protecting mirror and felt amused. "Little sister, Meng Fu only has 50,000 soldiers and horses. You are just worrying too much."
Shen Xinran nodded, "You must always carry this heart-protecting mirror with you."
Xie Zizhao, who was still standing by, was almost showing jealous sparks in his eyes, "Little sister, you are partial again."
Shen Xinran took out the amulet he had prepared long ago and said with a faint smile: "This is what I asked for you at the temple last time."
Xie Zizhao put the amulet in his arms and said lightly: "That's about right."
When Shen Xinran saw this, she just found it funny. Xie Zizhao lived to be ninety-nine in the plot, even longer than the male protagonist, so she was not worried about Xie Zizhao's safety at all.
Although Shen Xinran repeatedly warned Xie Ziyi, what was coming would still come. When Xie Ziyi was sent back by his confidant, he was lying down.
Although he was still alive, his right leg was chopped off by Meng Fu, which was tantamount to losing his life for a general who had fought on the battlefield.
The Wang family's plot was thus exposed, and Xie Shicheng went to the Wang family that same day to demand an explanation. "Didn't you say that the Wang family led the charge, and my Xie family only had to make up the numbers?"
Wang Wende laughed directly, "We are all here to protect the emperor, so why should we be so concerned about our own gains and losses, Brother Xie?"
Xie Shicheng was so angry that he almost gnashed his teeth and glared at Wang Wende angrily. If it was just the Xie family who were charging into battle, he wouldn't have said anything.
But the Wang family knew that it was best not to pursue a desperate enemy, yet they still insisted on pursuing them. This was no different from sending the Xie family's cavalry to their deaths.
"Okay, just wait for me!" Xie Shicheng shook his sleeves and turned away.
The first thing he did after returning home was to find Xiao Wenqing and said, "The Wang family is too much. I think Zhirou's engagement with his family should be cancelled!"
Xiao Wenqing frowned, "But Zhirou is almost seventeen now. If I cancel the Wang family's engagement, I'm afraid I won't be able to find someone as good as her in the future."
Xie Shicheng's face was gloomy. "If she really can't get married, we can just support her for the rest of her life. But my Xie family will never tolerate such humiliation."
Shen Xinran, who was still standing by, smiled at Xiao Wenqing and said, "Mother, I think father is right. Wang Shichang and I are destined not to be together."
Xiao Wenqing glanced at Shen Xinran, a hint of sadness in her eyes.
Women are different from men. If they are still single after the age of 18, it will be difficult for them to get married in the future. Her daughter was really harmed by the Wang family.
But she also knew that this had escalated into a feud between the two families. She could only nod, "Since you all say so, I will go to the Wang family tomorrow to cancel the engagement."
The next afternoon, Shen Xinran received a handwritten letter from Wang Shichang.
She said that he still had her in his heart and that their relationship should not be affected by the relationship between the two families.
Shen Xinran read it as a joke. If Wang Shichang really liked Xie Zhirou, he would not have plotted against the Xie family.
In order to avenge his brother, Xie Zizhao shot the second prince to death with an arrow. Without the second prince, Meng Fu was like losing his backbone and was defeated step by step.
When the army returned, Xie Shicheng counted the number of men and found that nearly half of his cavalry had been killed or wounded. He was so angry that he fell ill and stayed in bed for seven days.
After he went to court, he immediately went to the emperor to seek justice. "The Wang family tricked my Xie family's cavalry into charging to the front, resulting in the death of tens of thousands of my Xie family's cavalry. I implore Your Majesty to give an explanation."
But Sima Xiong only knew how to smooth things over. "I know you're all doing this for my own good. Now that the rebellion has been quelled, don't be angry, Grand Tutor Xie. At worst, I'll give you all promotions this time."
Sima Xiong's indifferent attitude made Xie Shicheng stunned. The ancestral motto of his Xie family was to be a loyal minister, to guard the emperor of the Sima family, and to protect the Sima family's world.
But now, he, a seven-foot tall man, was forced to tears.
He began to think, but is it really worth it?
Has he done anything wrong over the years?
He felt disappointed, disappointed with Sima Xiong, disappointed with the court, disappointed with the times, and disappointed with himself.
Xie Shicheng took a deep breath and knelt down. "If Your Majesty thinks that I am seeking justice only for promotion, then I will no longer be the Grand Tutor. I beg Your Majesty to let me return home."
When Sima Xiong heard Xie Shicheng threaten to resign, he simply nodded without trying to dissuade him. "Since you are so determined, I will grant your permission."
Because he also had resentment towards Xie Shicheng. Even though the second prince was wrong, he was still his son after all.
Xie Zizhao should never have shot the second prince to death with an arrow without his consent. This was undoubtedly humiliating to him.
At this moment, Sima Xiong had completely forgotten that if it weren't for Xie Zizhao's arrow, who knows who would be the emperor sitting on the dragon throne now.
The entire court was in a solemn atmosphere, and no one dared to speak. The only one who was happy was probably Wang Wende.
When Xie Shicheng left, he glanced at Wang Wende, who raised the corner of his mouth and nodded at him with a smile.
Xie Shicheng's face suddenly fell, as if it was covered with a layer of paste, because he guessed Wang Wende's evil ambition.
Meng Fu ran away and resigned from his official position. From then on, the Wang family was the only one in power in the court.
He paused, wanting to tell Sima Xiong all this.
But he thought of his eldest son, who was still lying at home, his life or death unknown.
The ten thousand heroic souls who had died were still waiting for him to take them home.
Xie Shicheng left, but his footsteps seemed unusually heavy. He didn't want to save this dynasty, and he couldn't save it.
The day Shen Xinran left with Xie Shicheng happened to be the Autumnal Equinox. Wang Shichang even came to see them off. "Zhirou, it's a long journey, you must be careful."
Shen Xinran raised his chin and looked at Wang Shichang with contempt. "Goodbye, we'll never see each other again."
Maybe because Shen Xinran was too indifferent, Wang Shichang actually felt heartbroken for a moment.
But he remembered what his father had said to him: "As long as our plan succeeds, the whole world will belong to our Wang family."
Thinking of this, he smiled, "Zhirou, you must be fine!"
When Shen Xinran looked up, she saw Wang Shichang looking at her affectionately. She shuddered and quickly got into the carriage.
She had never seen Wang Shichang like her so much before. Is it true that what you can't get is the best?
Watching the Xie family's carriage go away, Wang Shichang raised a strange smile at the corner of his lips.
When he conquers the world, he will marry Xie Zhirou. Then the world and the beauty will be his.
