Chapter 251: Use her life in exchange for yours
Ji Weiming decided that he would not seek help from Jiaying until the last step.
Jiaying will take the opportunity to take Ye Xiaoman away.
After all, he and Ji Wenyi are brothers from the same mother and have the same nature. He would rather die than see Ye Xiaoman fall into the hands of others.
Ye Xiaoman agreed to Ji Weiming's plan.
On some level, her ideas were consistent with Ji Weiming's.
She would never tell other men unless she had no other choice, so she got married and then was arrested.
As for Xiao Chujing and Sikong Qing, her sword spirit is impersonating her, so it should be able to fool them for a while.
As for Jiaying, she said she had hidden herself well and rejected Jiaying's suggestion to take her back to Yongning Temple to live with him.
Her top priority at the moment is to escape safely from the palace.
Seeing Ye Xiaoman remain silent for a long time, Ji Wenyi thought she was seriously considering his proposal to commit suicide with him. "Are you willing?"
Ye Xiaoman and Ji Weiming had decided to paralyze Ji Wenyi, so they followed his words and said, "I do."
A glimmer of hope rose in Ji Wenyi's eyes.
Ye Xiaoman lowered her head and said vaguely, "You've done this for me. It would be disloyal of me if I didn't share the joys and sorrows with you."
Ji Wenyi asked cautiously, "Are we reconciled?"
Ye Xiaoman nodded.
Ji Wenyi happily took her into his arms.
He said, "Live and die together?"
Ye Xiaoman repeated after him: "We sleep together in life and in death."
While she was swearing to coax the man, she put one hand behind her waist and made a cross: I was just saying it casually, God, please don't take it seriously.
She let Ji Wenyi hold her for a while, then emphasized to him seriously: "I don't like to see bloody scenes. I'll go into the house and wait for you."
Ji Wenyi finally let her go.
He also needs to command the battle and stand outside to watch the battle in real time.
This entire area is within the coverage of his spiritual sense, and Ye Xiaoman cannot escape.
After getting Ji Wenyi's permission, Ye Xiaoman immediately turned around and walked back into the palace.
After she left, a vast aura fell on Ji Wenyi's side.
The invisible middle-aged man revealed his true identity in front of Ji Wenyi.
He looked somewhat similar to the late emperor. When Ji Wenyi saw him, his expression faltered. "Uncle Emperor."
The emperor's uncle came to Ji Wenyi to deliver a message on behalf of the ancestor behind the Ji family.
When he saw Ji Wenyi, he frowned and shouted angrily: "Evil creature!"
As soon as he said it, Ji Wenyi felt as if he was punched in the chest. He frowned slightly and blood flowed from his lips.
He wiped the blood with his fingertips, "The Emperor's uncle came to see me, probably not just to express his personal feelings."
The uncle sneered: "The ancestors already know about your regicide."
"The die is cast. Your father did nothing in his lifetime, and even lost his life at the hands of his own son. He was so incompetent that he is dead. The family is too lazy to pursue your treason."
"You are a promising young man. Even though your lack of consideration has caused the chaos under heaven today," the uncle pointed to the chaotic scene of soldiers besieging the city below the high building, "the ancestors are willing to give you another chance and lend a hand to help you."
Ji Wenyi smiled, "Indeed, the Ji family has been passed down for thousands of years. By my generation, my descendants are incompetent. Apart from me, no one else can manage this vast land."
"Don't be arrogant," the uncle warned unhappily, "We still have another trump card in our hand, Ji Weiming."
Ji Wenyi raised an eyebrow.
The uncle glared: "What? Killing your own father is not enough, you also want to kill your own brother?"
Ji Wenyi did not answer.
The emperor's uncle cursed him verbally but admired him in his heart. The selfish and cruel brat was indeed a pure-blooded descendant who inherited all the advantages of the Ji family.
"But if you want to gain the family's support, you need to agree to the conditions of the ancestors."
Ji Wenyi: "Speak."
The uncle said, "The ancestors are very dissatisfied with your reasons for killing the king."
Ji Wenyi: "Oh?"
Emperor's uncle: "If you are pursuing personal ambition, we support you; but if you drag the whole world into this for a woman, you will not be able to convince anyone."
Ji Wenyi: "Are the ancestors very dissatisfied with my choice of queen?"
Uncle: "She is just a lowly human. She can neither bring you political support nor give birth to a powerful offspring."
"Your future queen can only be chosen from among the noble ladies of aristocratic families. Our ancestors felt that the two daughters of the Su family were very good. One would be the queen and the other a noble concubine, and they would be just the right match for you."
Ji Wenyi refused without a second thought: "I already love Abao and will never let her suffer any injustice."
The uncle thought Ji Wenyi was extremely foolish. "Why don't you marry the Su sisters first, and then take the person you like into the palace? You can have the best of both worlds. What's wrong with that?"
Ji Wenyi: "To be together for life is Abao's wish, and it is also my long-cherished wish."
The uncle said coldly: "You have reached the end of your rope. There is no room for dreaming."
"Kill that woman with your own hands, and use her life in exchange for your survival. This is the condition of the ancestors."
After he conveyed the ancestor's oral instructions, the figure disappeared.
Ji Wenyi stood there with an expressionless face, and no one knew what he was thinking.
The wind blew the long purple silk headband behind him to the front of him. In the air thick with the smell of blood, he leaned over and looked at the battlefield below.
He sent a voice message to the generals: [Have you drawn the enemy army here?]
The general replied: [Everyone has gathered outside the palace.]
He risked his life to advise: "Your Majesty, the military strength is too great. We should concentrate our forces to fight our way out of the Imperial City instead of just leading all the troops outside the palace walls!"
There was one thing he didn't say explicitly: they were like turtles caught in a jar, and they were doomed to die today.
Ji Wenyi smiled: "General Yuchi, I will tell you today that even if it's 80,000 against 170,000, I can still win."
War is a matter of deception.
In front of Ji Wenyi, a chessboard appeared out of thin air.
The chessboard does not have black squares running vertically and horizontally, but a map of the imperial city.
Ji Wenyi was holding a handful of black and white chess pieces in his hand.
Every time he placed a piece on the chessboard, a beast on the ridge of a roof in a corresponding position in the palace and the city would suddenly come alive, its body expanding dozens of times in size. It would raise its head and howl on the eaves, shaking the whole city.
The actions of both sides of the battle could not help but pause. More than 200,000 soldiers, regardless of friend or foe, looked up at the roof in surprise.
They saw the eaves beasts that decorated the buildings, and the legendary majestic beasts such as dragons, phoenixes, lions, and xiezhi, which slowly lowered their heads and looked at them.
Looking down from above, it opened its huge mouth and spewed poisonous smoke at them!
The ochre-yellow poisonous smoke drifted with the wind, quickly covering half of the imperial capital.
Ordinary soldiers would die instantly if they inhaled it, and monk soldiers would bleed from their mouths and noses and their cultivation would be greatly reduced if they smelled it. Even if they held their breath, the poisonous fog would still penetrate through the pores and skin, making it impossible for them to resist.
Not only were the armies of Prince Teng and the aristocratic family alliance horrified, but even Ji Wenyi's soldiers were in a panic.
Ji Wenyi attacked indiscriminately.
All the soldiers, regardless of friend or foe, collectively lost their sight as the poisoning worsened!
