Chapter 315 You evil person, why don’t you just die?
"I don't like keeping useless people. Now give me a reason not to kill you."
Xuanyuan Lang leaned back and sat in a lazy yet domineering posture, his whole body exuding a powerful aura. This was obviously the residence of the Wengzhou provincial governor, but it seemed like the territory of Yuexi, and he was the king of this territory!
Prince Ying looked very ugly.
In his imagination, Xuanyuan Lang should be humble, kneeling at his feet to use the incense-making method, praying to exchange it for some corn, instead of taking the initiative and stepping on him.
Prince Ying couldn't bring himself to ask Xuanyuan Lang for help, so he turned his head to look at Wei Lingze, hoping that he could find a way to save him from danger.
However, as soon as he turned his head, Lan Shu slapped him hard: "Your Majesty, you have offended General Xuanyuan. General Xuanyuan is still waiting for your apology. If you don't speak up, we will all die."
Prince Ying: “…”
This bastard, he must kill Lan Shu and feed her to the dogs!
Lan Shu was not afraid of Prince Ying. After slapping him, he knelt before Xuanyuan Lang and said, "General Xuanyuan, I am Lan Shu. I used to work for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in Hanjing. I know many secrets of the officials in the court. I am also well versed in the languages of Yuexi and Zhaoling. I can help you with many things."
Lan Shu spoke these words in Yuexi dialect. Before Xuanyuan Lang could speak, he continued, "Young Master Wei has become addicted to spices. Although he has been suspended, he knows a lot about the Zhaoling army. The general can use spices to coax him into doing things. As for Prince Ying, he is of royal blood after all. The general can wait until the two armies meet and then throw him out to demoralize the enemy."
Perhaps because he was afraid of death, Lan Shu spoke very quickly.
Xuanyuan Lang was very pleased with Lan Shu's tact. He stared at him for a while and asked, "How did you learn Yuexi dialect?"
Lan Shu hesitated for a moment and said, "When Yuexi was defeated in the war, they sent many prisoners of war as slaves. Some of them were trained to be male prostitutes. I have dealt with them and learned a lot from them."
As soon as these words came out, Xuanyuan Lang's face suddenly darkened.
Many years ago, Yuexi was defeated by Zhaoling and was severely weakened. It had to sign a treaty and pay tribute of large quantities of cattle, sheep and horses every year. Three years ago, the royal family of Yuexi changed. In order to establish himself in the army, Xuanyuan Lang led his troops to launch a surprise attack, but was knocked off his horse by Wei Lingze and lost an arm.
That battle was the biggest humiliation in Xuanyuan Lang's life. Lan Shu's words touched Xuanyuan Lang's sore spot.
It was because he was too eager for quick success that he harmed those soldiers.
Those soldiers should have died on the battlefield, but they were humiliated by the people of Zhaoling. All the people of Zhaoling deserve to die!
But this person named Lan Shu is right, keeping the three of them is indeed useful.
A ruthless look flashed in Xuanyuan Lang's eyes, but he soon regained his composure.
He had Wei Lingze and Prince Ying taken away first, leaving only Lan Shu behind to find out more information.
Relying on her eloquent mouth, Lan Shu quickly gained a foothold beside Xuanyuan Lang.
Wei Lingze was tough, but soon his addiction struck again.
He attempted suicide but was stopped by Xuanyuan Lang.
Xuanyuan Lang asked him to tell the situation in the Zhaoling army in person, which was of vital importance to this battle.
"Xuanyuan Lang, if you're still a man, just kill me. Don't disgust me with such despicable means!"
The physical discomfort became more and more intense. Wei Lingze was sweating profusely and looked like he had just been pulled out of the water.
Xuanyuan Lang remained silent. Lan Shu, standing beside him, quickly tried to persuade him, "Master Wei, General Xuanyuan has been planning this for years, and now the grand plan is almost complete. Even if you resist, it won't change anything. The entire Wengzhou is now following General Xuanyuan's lead. The 30,000 troops from Yuexi have already entered the city, and even more will arrive after the autumn harvest. If we start this battle, Zhaoling will undoubtedly be defeated."
Wengzhou was the first place to use forget-me-not to make incense. Most of the people in the city were controlled by the incense. They opened the city gates to welcome the enemy troops from Yuexi into the city, and were even willing to offer all the food and grass they had worked hard to grow, just in exchange for a little bit of the incense that made them feel intoxicated.
Wei Lingze had already guessed Xuanyuan Lang's intention, but he was still extremely angry when he heard Lan Shu say this.
First, they used the incense to gradually erode and control the people of Wengzhou, then used the grain grown by the people of Wengzhou to feed the soldiers of Yuexi, and finally trampled on the land of Zhaoling and slaughtered the people of Zhaoling. This is simply too hateful!
"Pooh!"
Wei Lingze spat at Lan Shu and sneered, "You spineless bastard, do you think you'll have a good ending in the future?"
Lan Shu wiped his face and sighed, "Master Wei, now that things have come to this, you should learn to go with the flow. Do you think anyone will think of you if you don't say anything?"
Lan Shu and several Yuexi soldiers brought Wei Lingze to the farmland on the outskirts of the city.
Near noon, people working in the fields gathered one after another in the open space beside the fields to get their meals.
Lan Shu cleared his throat and said loudly, "Everyone, Master Wei has come to see you. Do you know who Master Wei is? He is the eldest son of the Wei family, a prestigious family of Hanjing, a century-old family. Li Huaijing, the former governor of Wengzhou, is his uncle."
These people were all in tattered clothes and had dull expressions. They were originally indifferent to Lan Shu's words, but when they heard the last sentence, everyone stopped and looked up.
Wei Lingze had just survived a drug addiction attack and was weak at the moment, but he could still clearly feel the murderous intent.
Those murderous intentions did not come from a certain person, but were projected from all directions, densely packed like countless sharp arrows, aiming to pierce his heart and turn him into a sieve.
Wei Lingze felt panicky unconsciously, when a bowl of porridge suddenly fell on him.
"You evil bastard, you're the one who's harmed us all. Why don't you just die?"
"If Li Huaijing hadn't asked us to grow those harmful spices, my family wouldn't have been destroyed and I wouldn't have fallen into this state!"
"Give me back my daughter's life. She was only eight years old, very clever and well-behaved, but she was sold to death by her soulless father. You deserve to die too!"
As soon as one person spoke, the others immediately followed suit, shouting and cursing.
Although they were controlled by the incense, they also hated it. They all wanted to rush over to drink Wei Lingze's blood and eat Wei Lingze's flesh, so that they could relieve the hatred in their hearts.
Thanks to the protection of the Yuexi soldiers, Lan Shu and Wei Lingze did not die in the crowd, but both of them were splashed with porridge and spit on, and looked extremely miserable.
After finally escaping, Lan Shu took off his coat and threw it aside, then asked Wei Lingze, "Everyone now thinks you and Li Huaijing are in cahoots, and you're the real culprits. Even if Master Wei keeps holding on, no one will appreciate it. Furthermore, if His Majesty learns of this, all nine branches of the Wei family will be wiped out. Master Wei, don't you want to find a way out for them?"
Wei Lingze's dull eyes moved.
He was not in the same group as his aunt and uncle. He was also a victim of the Ecstasy Incense, and the Wei family was completely unaware of it.
But now... who would believe it?
After a long time, Wei Lingze spoke in a hoarse voice: "Take me to see Xuanyuan Lang."
