Chapter 249 The Fate of Killing Stars
When Lu Shi heard the news brought back by his confidant, his face was filled with anger.
"Doesn't he know that by doing this, he will lose the support of the people?!"
Does Lu Chenzhou know what he is doing?
Xiling’s greatest reliance is the people’s support that has been cultivated over the years.
And these public sentiments are enough to become a great help to them after the uprising!
Even if you have to pretend, you have to pretend a little.
But now his power has been stripped away in the shortest possible time.
This made it impossible for him to interfere with what Lu Chenzhou did.
He had no idea that his son was so cruel.
Even he has to deal with it!
What’s even more incredible is that his son knew everything he arranged and even knew his weaknesses!
He has been in the capital all these years, but I never told him.
Why does he know everything?
It was easy to take down his confidant and make him his man.
Although everything Lu Shi did was originally to pave the way for Lu Chenzhou.
But that doesn't mean he is willing to be sidelined!
It was obvious that Lu Chenzhou was not the same person he is now when he was with him in the capital.
What has he experienced in these years?
Why did it turn out like this?
He took a deep breath and asked, "Is there any trace of Lin Zhaoyue?"
The subordinate replied: "My Lord, there is still no news about the Crown Princess."
Lu Shi's face darkened even more.
Lin Zhaoyue's disappearance left him puzzled.
It was obvious that the yard was surrounded by people.
How on earth did she leave!
The people around were clueless and had no idea someone had left.
Could it be that she can fly and hide in the ground? !
Lin Zhaoyue's departure undoubtedly meant that Xiling lost an important bargaining chip to check and balance the court.
But what is even more surprising is that -
Beneath Lu Shi's anger over Lin Zhaoyue's disappearance, there was actually a hint of unspeakable resentment.
Yes, he was also unwilling.
It seems that as long as he keeps her, he can keep the figure that he misses in his dreams by his side forever.
Therefore, when Lu Chenzhou brought her back, he felt a secret sense of relief in his heart.
Since I cannot be with the one I love in this life.
Then letting her son marry her daughter might be another kind of perfection.
Knowing that Lin Zhaoyue was a disaster,
But he still insisted on promoting this marriage.
Hope they can grow old together...
Rather than repeating the same mistakes he and her mother made, and ending up with lifelong regrets...
Even the last time...
So he hated Lin Yan, hated him for taking away his beloved woman.
It makes me unable to get the love I want!
He didn't even protect her, causing her to get hurt again and again!
And her father, the emperor, was the culprit who killed his beloved woman! !
He said in a deep and cold voice: "I don't know why Chu Yinyin, that evildoer, kept her alive!!"
If it weren't for this woman, they wouldn't have ended up like this!
Lu Chenzhou is such a fool!
Could it be that just because she bears some resemblance to Lin Zhaoyue, she has lost her mind?!
Duanyun Village.
"what's on your mind?"
When Lin Zhaoyue walked over, she saw Mingxi staring at the sand table and map in front of him in a daze.
Ming Xi frowned. "I'm curious. Has Lu Shi been planning this rebellion for so many years simply because of his inflated ambition?"
Lin Zhaoyue curled her lips. "Yes or no, so what? The result is the same, isn't it?"
Mingxi blinked.
She understood that this young man who had experienced darkness had seen the worst of human nature.
But it is still difficult to understand certain obsessions.
He is worldly-wise but unworldly.
You can see through people's hearts but you cannot see the abyss behind them.
Those years of being confined to the black market.
What is restricted is not only his freedom, but also his understanding of the complexity of human nature.
During those years, his cognition was limited and he was suppressed in the dark place like the black market.
In fact, Mingxi understood the reason why Lu Shi rebelled.
But I don't understand how ambition alone can achieve this.
Lin Zhaoyue knew that he was talking about Lu Shi.
In fact, I'm afraid he was thinking about the destruction of the Jiao Kingdom.
Was it just out of greed that his enemies destroyed the Jiao Kingdom and enslaved the entire nation?
Turn a beautiful country into a hell on earth.
Sure enough, Mingxi suddenly spoke.
"So, they simply wanted to gain our people's worship and recognition as their master, so they destroyed the Jiao Nation, right?"
His voice was light, but there was a hint of coldness hidden in it.
Lin Zhaoyue didn't answer, but walked slowly forward, lightly moving the sand table with her fingertips. Her eyes lingered on several key points.
"Those in high positions are always insatiable. They crave the most beautiful people and the most precious things in the world... They gain a twisted sense of pleasure by trampling upon their own kind. Lust, greed, ambition... all can drive people mad."
Lin Zhaoyue paused slightly and said, "Mingxi, don't you understand?"
Mingxi frowned, as if he was thinking for a while.
But soon he raised his head and stared at her with burning eyes: "But the princess is not like this."
Lin Zhaoyue raised the corners of her lips slightly, "That's because I am the master of desire, not letting desire be my master."
A light flashed in Mingxi's eyes, and she murmured softly.
"Master of Desire..."
But this world is full of slaves of desire.
Lin Zhaoyue tapped a key spot with her fingertips.
And this place is where they will fight Xia Yu's army next.
However, Mingxi's words reminded her of herself in the original plot.
In the original plot, was it really because of Lu Chenzhou and jealousy that I was abandoned by my family and died tragically?
Maybe.
But if there really is past and present life in this world.
So her in her previous life.
Will he be controlled by the plot like in the script and become a tool?
She doesn't know.
But judging from the memories of Lu Chenzhou, who had a previous life, it seemed that in his previous life, he was not as loving and happy with Chu Yinyin as in the original plot, and they did not live a happy life together.
Although sometimes she would wonder if her previous life was exactly the same as the original plot.
But she wouldn't think too much about it.
Because she understood that the current Lin Zhaoyue was her.
And she can only live this life.
What she changed was also her own life.
What has changed is this time and space.
As for the rest, it has nothing to do with her, right?
So she would let go of these curiosities.
Focusing solely on the experience before her and what she was about to do.
Just as Lu Chenzhou said, he had regretted it in his previous life, but what does it have to do with her?
If everything is related to past and present lives, then I'm afraid nothing can be made clear.
[Ming Xi always loves the princess regardless of the occasion and day or night]
[As expected of the woman I love, so domineering woooo ...
【I will protect the princess' smile!!】
[I don’t know when Mingxi will be able to restore the country.]
[Don't worry, the princess has already promised Mingxi, and she will definitely do it.]
[The largest nation that devoured the Jiao Kingdom seems to be called the Qi Dynasty. This nation's national strength is not weaker than that of Daxia...]
One day later.
A granary in Xiling was attacked by bandits, and all the food was stolen and disappeared.
Some people said that the people who stole the food were bandits from Duanyun Village.
But even if we knew, the person would have already disappeared without a trace.
The candlelight flickered in the military tent. Yinchuan bowed and walked in. The sound of armor clashing could be heard clearly.
"Sir, I heard that the granary was stolen by bandits who first appeared and engaged the soldiers guarding it. Their intention was not to plunder the granary, but to engage the soldiers guarding it. With both sides losing ground, the bandits quickly retreated.
After they retreated, the soldiers guarding the granary naturally relaxed their vigilance.
In this way, they took advantage of the Xiling army's relaxed vigilance and entered through the tunnel to move away the food.
By then everyone was exhausted and no one paid attention to the noise. By the time they realized what was happening, all the food had been looted."
Xiao Tingye narrowed his eyes, "Underground?"
Yinchuan nodded. "Yes, this tunnel should have been dug by the granary themselves to prevent accidents and transport food in time. But unexpectedly, it was used by the robbers for convenience."
Xiao Tingye's eyes narrowed slightly, reflecting the candlelight and shimmering slightly. "This year, Xiling has not had frequent rainfall, and the autumn drought has become a disaster. Now that winter has arrived, food has become a priority for the bandits. It's not surprising that they come down the mountain to rob food and grass."
"Although the Broken Cloud Village is no more than ordinary bandits, they are considered strategic in their battles with the Xiling Army over the years. However, such an interconnected strategy is not something they could have planned. And as for that tunnel, it is impossible for outsiders to know about it."
He seemed to already know who was behind this.
But--
How did she know that tunnel?
And this question.
It didn't take long for Xiao Tingye to get the answer.
One day later.
One of Xiao Tingye's close troops was attacked by a force.
Although the invaders numbered no more than a hundred cavalrymen, they were well versed in military tactics and their formations could change as smoothly as flowing clouds and water.
If Xiao Tingye had not arrived in time, his army would probably have been defeated by this force!
It was not until Xiao Tingye arrived and took charge personally that the two sides fought back and forth.
Until the other side suddenly stopped and stood in formation.
A tall white horse slowly stepped out from among the soldiers.
The figure on horseback is like a cold moon in the deep night.
The wide white sleeves fluttered like clouds in the night wind, but the jade pendant at the waist remained motionless.
The corners of his lips curled up slightly, his brows and eyes were distant. "I wonder if I could have the honor to meet with Lord Xiao?"
His voice was clear and mellow, and there was a hint of pride in his words, neither humble nor arrogant.
At this moment, the cavalry surged like a tide.
Xiao Tingye, riding a warhorse, also slowly came from behind.
The face that frightened all the officials in the court now looked even more fierce under the light of the torch, and even his shadow was bloody.
In Su Changxue's eyes, his appearance was immediately evident as a divine weapon bathed in blood.
Yes, one person is like a magic weapon.
It can be imagined that this person's aura alone has the power to destroy everything.
At this moment, he truly felt the horror of this man.
He had met powerful officials who controlled the world in the capital, and had also heard of the murderous demon generals in the legends of the border.
Only then did he truly understand: those were all shadows of Xiao Tingye. The man before him, treading on a sea of blood and corpses, was a weapon capable of splitting mountains and rivers.
His eyes also trembled slightly.
No wonder he felt that strange feeling when he glanced at this man in the capital.
Killing Star's Fate...
What he didn't tell Lin Zhaoyue at that time was.
What he saw was another fate to kill the star.
It’s the person in front of me.
