"I'm afraid that just relying on you guys is not enough!"
Zhao Ji trembled as he took out a letter from his arms: "After leaving Li Country, find a way to give this letter to Taoist Qingxu, and he will find a way to help you!"
Ying Wuji took the letter and carefully put it in his arms: "Yes!"
"call……"
After Zhao Ji explained these words, his tense body finally relaxed a lot.
With his other hand on the table, he looked at Ying Wuji: "Do you have anything else to ask?"
Ying Wuji had a complicated look on his face, and sighed softly, "There are really two questions!"
"Speak!"
"Did you really not read the letter I wrote to you at that time, and the things I hid in the Prince's Mansion in Xinli City?"
"What are you looking at those awful things for?"
“…”
"Ask the second question!"
"Um!"
Ying Wuji took a deep breath and said, "From the beginning to the end, have you ever wanted to kill me?"
A smile appeared on Zhao Ji's old face: "I moved it once!"
Ying Wuji asked: "When?"
Zhao Ji glanced at the hanging Zhao Ning, and couldn't help showing a trace of heartache: "Before leaving, I found out that Ning'er contacted Han You privately and secretly broke the formation chapter."
Ying Wuji's heart skipped a beat: "After that..."
Zhao Ji looked at him with disdain: "After that, Han You did not make a move, and you also entered the trap obediently, why do you still want to kill? Do you really think that all the kings in the world are murderous embryos like Ying Yue?
I have been in office for decades and I consider myself quite good at judging people.
People like you, even if you are driven out of the Central Plains, will still worry about whether your wife and children are doing well.
What's more, Dali is showing signs of prosperity. Could I really be so foolish as to bury the coming prosperity with my own hands just for a non-existent crisis?
Thanks to the planning of all parties, they think they can destroy the foundation of our Li country's prosperity.
In my opinion, what saints, what heroes? They are all mediocre and incompetent people! "
A few words.
Coming from the mouth of an old man who is about to die.
But it made the young man Ying Wuji feel ashamed of himself.
A mediocre and incompetent person.
I am one of them.
Zhao Ji looked at Ying Wuji and said, "You don't have the heart of a saint right now, but you already know where your heart of a saint is, but you are too lazy to move forward."
Ying Wuji moved his lips but did not refute.
Zhao Ji Kugao's hand grasped tighter, and his tone was unquestionable: "You have a son, so you have become a father. Today I have given you my whole country, so you should act like a saint. From today on, you have to walk this path, and you owe me that!"
Ying Wuji felt as if his heart had skipped a beat, and he nodded heavily, "Okay!"
"call……"
Zhao Ji got his promise and finally put all his worries aside.
He let out a long breath, and it seemed as if most of his energy and spirit had been drained away.
The king who was once full of vigor and vitality now looks like an old man who has just dealt with his funeral affairs and has no worries in his heart.
He let go of Ying Wuji's hand, and propped his hands on the table, his breathing a little disordered: "Before the formation is broken, no news can be transmitted to the outside world. Are you sure about what will happen next?"
Ying Wuji nodded: "It has been arranged!"
Zhao Ji nodded with satisfaction and made a gesture to drive him away: "Take the token on the corner of the table. Tonight, the Zhao family will obey your orders. Go!"
Ying Wuji's eyes ached when he saw his weak appearance.
He took a deep breath, picked up the token, and saluted respectfully: "Yes, father!"
Zhao Ji raised his eyelids: "I don't like this name!"
Ying Wuji's eyes turned red: "Yes, father!"
"Um……"
Zhao Ji made an unclear sound in his throat in response, but he was so short of breath and weak that he didn't even want to make the effort to utter a complete sentence.
He just raised his hand, indicating that Ying Wuji could leave.
Ying Wuji walked to the door, but stopped in his tracks. He turned around and said, "Father, you can actually look at the things in the Prince's Mansion. It won't make you angry."
"Um!"
Zhao Ji slumped in his seat, raised his head with difficulty, and a smile appeared on his old face: "I will go and see it when I get back. After the battle to pacify the monsters, remember to write back!"
"yes!"
Ying Wuji nodded, and before leaving, he bowed deeply to him: "Father, I'm leaving!"
This walk.
Maybe this is our farewell. I hope we can live up to expectations and win a great victory in the battle against the monsters.
In the big tent.
Zhao Ji was lying on the eucalyptus, feeling somewhat unsteady.
Queen Xuan Ji walked out from behind the screen, knelt beside Zhao Ji, wiping her tears while feeding him qi-replenishing medicine.
After being nourished by the elixir, Zhao Ji looked a little better. He complained breathlessly, "I'm not dead, why are you crying?"
Xuan Ji hummed softly, her eyes filled with sorrow.
Zhao Ji sighed softly, his eyes fell on Zhao Ning: "The self-torture trick is over, take Ning'er down to heal her! My good companion still needs her to take care of him."
I have done everything I can, but it is far from over. These young people... have a long way to go!
Xuan Ji wiped the tears from her eyes, full of heartache and reluctance: "It's just a self-torture scheme, why do you have to use such a heavy hand?"
"If it's not bitter enough, can it still be called a torture strategy?"
“…”
"Actually, I lied to that kid about two things."
"What?"
"I have wanted to kill him more than once!"
"What about the other one?"
"There's one more thing... I won't live to see the day he sends the letter. There are still three days left before the deadline. After Ning'er ascends the throne, remember to keep the death a secret. Wait until that brat sends the letter back before making it public. Scare him a little so he doesn't slack off from work, hahahaha... cough cough cough!"
