Chapter 1110: Grand Finale: Return of an Old Friend (18)
It was truly amusing to say that Fu Xiuyi had become the ruler of a fallen nation. He had originally stated with great ambition that he would live and die with Ming Qi, and that he would fight alongside his soldiers until the very end. As long as Dingjing survived, he would remain the emperor of Ming Qi and would not surrender.
But at the last moment, he somehow changed his mind and wanted to leave secretly, perhaps planning to make a comeback one day.
However, Fu Xiuyi calculated everything, but failed to calculate people's hearts.
His staff, however, had seen the situation in Ming Qi before him. When they learned that Fu Xiuyi had made a false decision to perish alongside the enemy, while he himself was planning to flee, they were immediately furious.
Fu Xiuyi, in a sense, had been trapped in his own web. His entire team of advisors were originally recruited by him, either through money or beauties. As the saying goes, a hero doesn't judge by origin. Fu Xiuyi considered himself a man who valued talent, regardless of status. Therefore, his advisors were a diverse mix of people. There were bandits, bandits, and even ruthless murderers. These people didn't distinguish between good and evil, and they simply followed Fu Xiuyi because they believed he could provide them with the wealth and women they desired, and that he could accomplish great things.
Now that his great cause has been ruined, Fu Xiuyi still wants to run away. How can this be allowed?
The most courageous and cruel among the staff members found a way to tie Fu Xiuyi up on the city wall, personally shot Fu Xiuyi to death with a bow and arrow, and finally chopped off Fu Xiuyi's head, in order to win credit from Xie Jingxing and hope to surrender.
Fu Xiuyi, despite his lifelong success and hustle and bustle, never imagined he would end up like this. He didn't perish along with his country like a monarch, but at least he could have preserved his integrity. He didn't save his life to plan a comeback in the rest of his life. Instead, he was like a prisoner, shot to death in front of the people of Dingjing by the very people he had bribed with so much money, and used it as a token to win credit to his enemies.
The last thing he vaguely saw was a young man standing under the city wall, on a tall horse, in front of thousands of soldiers. He held the reins and looked at him lazily, as cynical as ever, with contempt clearly in his eyes.
But before he could think about it, he could no longer see anything.
His ambitions and plans for his kingdom all came to an abrupt end at this moment. He could never understand why he was defeated by the very enemy he had wanted to eliminate from the very beginning, even though he had already become the emperor and had planned all his life.
Maybe God is unfair, or maybe he is just unlucky.
Will lose.
Downstairs, Xie Jingxing uttered a "tsk" and said, "People's morale is so low, Fu Xiuyi is really capable."
"People who are tempted with gold and silver will not last long." Gao Yang smiled casually: "Let's go! Go into the city!"
"By the way," Ji Yushu said, "Princess Rongxin and the Su family have been rescued. Now..."
Xie Jingxing remained calm: "Protect them, and let the rest go."
…
When Shen Miao got the news, she was stunned for a long time.
She hadn't expected that her former enemy would understand her so clearly. But she also felt that it was all natural.
Fu Xiuyi's early actions will eventually yield rewards. Madam Mei, seeking the skin of a tiger, will ultimately be devoured by it. They are constantly exploiting others, using gold, silver, and beautiful women to obtain what they desire. Such human nature may appear omnipotent on the surface, but it ultimately does not last.
That's why Fu Xiuyi was betrayed by his own staff in the end, and that's why Madam Mei died at the hands of the man who doted on her in her previous life.
