At first, Ye Lan had not forgotten this aspect. After all, as a demon god, he could call the wind and rain and do so many things.
But now that she saw Xuan Wu Ji in person, she realized that sometimes people are hopeless when they become stupid.
"Yes, as long as you can solve the dilemma that has plagued me for thousands of years, I will let you go." Xuan Wu Ji nodded slightly, with a hint of sadness on her face.
Although Ye Lan felt that this person was not in a clear mind, he still did not take it lightly, "What if I don't fulfill your wish?"
Hearing this, Xuan Wu Ji lowered her eyes and gave her a very light smile, "Then you will die in the illusion and keep me company in this Glazed City."
Ye Lan: “…”
Sure enough, no matter how dumb a woman is, she can do whatever she wants if she has the power.
Now they were all fish on the board, with no room for bargaining, so Ye Lan nodded and agreed without much consideration: "Okay."
Seeing that she looked relaxed and composed, Xuan Wu Ji was stunned for a moment, but kindly helped her explain.
"Every step you take is a hint from me, including today's resignation of military power. The people outside the capital are lying dead and naked, and war is imminent. Yet Liu Yong is obsessed with pleasure, completely jealous of Han Ting and hoping to clip his wings."
"Liu Yong is now using the families of his soldiers as a threat to force them to surrender. If Han Ting surrenders his military power, the moment word gets back to the border, war will break out, and there will be no way to reverse the situation."
"But the bond between ruler and subject, the bond between parents and friends, is inseparable. Liu Yong has grasped the lifeblood of each of us. Now it's your turn. Where do you go from here?"
After saying that, Xuan Wu Ji sighed softly, as if she was already feeling sorry for the misfortune that Ye Lan was about to suffer.
However, Ye Lan listened to such a long paragraph, but it went in one ear and out the other. At the end, he asked, "Are you done?"
Xuan Wuji was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's it, you..."
Before she could continue to complain, Ye Lan stood up from his seat, drew the sword of a guard next to him, and said calmly, "Don't you want to know how I escaped? Now, watch carefully."
As soon as the girl finished speaking, her fingertips suddenly pierced through the formation, dispersing Xuan Wu Ji's figure.
The moment the light from the illusion once again enveloped her eyes and brows, the sword in her hand mercilessly slashed towards Liu Yong's neck.
Swish.
She drew her sword quickly and with a clean and neat technique. The moment blood spurted out, the head rolled down the jade steps.
"Ah! Your Majesty!"
Someone in the hall screamed in surprise. After the shock subsided, the court officials began to shout, "Help! Help! The witch queen killed the king. Quickly capture her!"
His voice was high-pitched, and he wished he could eat Ye Lan alive.
The next second, the guard who entered the hall was chopped in half, and blood splattered on the spot.
"Soldiers, listen up! Close the palace gates and don't let anyone out."
Another deep and magnetic voice sounded coldly.
Everyone suddenly looked up and saw that the general, wearing armor and determined to fight on the battlefield, had his sword unsheathed, with hot blood still dripping from the tip of the sword.
That was the guard's blood.
The soldiers were also confused at first and couldn't react, but then they remembered that Liu Yong had just threatened them with the lives of their families. They were immediately furious and stood up to receive the order, "Yes, General!"
Bang bang bang.
The four heavy palace doors were all closed, and the light suddenly became much dimmer.
When the court officials turned around, they were horrified to find that someone else had sat on the throne.
Ye Lan walked over slowly, kicked Liu Yong's body away, sat on the throne, still holding the sword in his hand, with a casual posture.
"Witch! How can a lowly person like you covet the throne of the Ming Dynasty?!"
Someone below immediately shouted angrily, as if Ye Lan's clothes being stained by the dragon throne was a stain.
Ye Lan lowered his eyes and glanced at the group of jumping court officials, and a sarcastic sneer suddenly appeared on his lips.
"You speak so eloquently, but in the end, you still have to wait outside the palace gates every day, waiting for me to approve a few words on your memorials and then issue an order." As she spoke, she placed her hand on the dragon head, stroking it with her fingertips. She admired the suddenly shocked expressions of the courtiers below and chuckled softly, "Do you really think I'm a fool? You know better than me what kind of person Liu Yong was before I entered the palace. So what made him suddenly so smart and wise, becoming a wise ruler?"
These questions were like thunder rolling from heaven, falling in the huge palace and instantly overturning the entire place.
The ministers' expressions changed again and again, and none of them dared to refute a word.
Finally, the Grand Tutor in front stood up and said confidently, "Even so, it's your blessing that the King has taken a liking to you, and it's your duty to serve the Ming Kingdom. These cannot be used as excuses for you to kill the Emperor and usurp the throne!"
He said it without blushing or panting, and without feeling guilty at all.
This is a highly unified patriarchal society, and it is also the shackles that have imprisoned Xuan Wu Ji for her entire life.
Unfortunately, this trick doesn't work on Ye Lan.
"Duty?" She shook the blood off the tip of her sword and sneered, "Knowing my identity, they forcibly brought me into the palace. Originally, they wanted to guard against a general whose achievements threatened the emperor. But unexpectedly, they discovered that I had other uses, so they simply built a luminous city to imprison me, forbidding me to show my true face, and gradually pushed me towards becoming a demon concubine who brought disaster to the country and the people.
The dog emperor is incompetent in governing the country, but he has many intentions to harm people."
As she said that, she kicked Liu Yong on the ground again.
The court officials' faces grew darker and darker, but they knew that these were facts, so they had no way to refute them.
"Anyway, this country can only belong to the Liu family. You committed regicide and treason, and sooner or later your entire clan will be exterminated!" The old tutor was unmoved and continued to point at her and shout.
Seeing that several deputy generals had already dealt with the guards, Ye Lan slowly opened his mouth and said, "If the country is destroyed, who will remember this Jiangshan surname? Ask the people outside, do they care?"
"You..." The old tutor was speechless, and the others also remembered the situation outside and showed a trace of fear on their faces.
But Ye Lan still felt that was not enough. He sat upright on the throne and said leisurely, "Don't you like to kill all your clans? It just so happens that your relatives are all enjoying wealth and glory in the capital. Now I will order soldiers to enter the city and imprison your mansions. Anyone who dares to leave and say anything will be killed without mercy."
Kill without mercy.
The three light words at the end of the voice fell to the ground, shocking all the court officials in the hall to the point of limp legs.
The Grand Tutor was so overwhelmed that he fell to the ground, gasping weakly and cursing, "Traitor...traitor..."
However, this attack power is equivalent to zero for Ye Lan.
"What is rebellion and what is banditry? When the time comes, as long as I can make the Ming Dynasty strong and ensure that the people have enough food to eat and win the support of the people, then I can write the history books." After she finished her taunting, her eyes fell lightly on Xiao Yunting, who looked particularly handsome and majestic in his armor. Her eyebrows raised slightly, "What do you think, General?"
