An Empire as a Betrothal Gift

When Wei Lian returned to the inn, the door was ajar, and Ji Yue was leaning against the head of the bed, tearing the phalaenopsis petals one by one, muttering boredly: "He'll be right back, he'll be back at night, he'll be back right away, he'll be right back!" Come back at night, he'll be back right away, he'll be back at night..." The last petal was an even number, Ji Yue paused, and used his internal force to crush the petal into fine powder, as if that petal didn't exist, and then said with satisfaction, "He'll be right back. "

Wei Lian: "..."

Ji Yue also played very vigorously by himself.

Wei Lian pushed the door open and walked into the room.When Ji Yue heard the movement, he immediately threw away the bare flower branch in his hand, turned around and said happily: "I knew you were coming back now."

Wei Lian looked down at the fallen petals all over the ground, just like butterflies resting on the ground, thinking you know a ghost.

"How did you toss the flowers like this?" Wei Lian folded his arms, "Isn't this for me?"

Ji Yue felt a little guilty: "...too boring."

He has nothing to do in King Liang City and should not go out.Wei Lian is a son of Chu State with little real power, so it doesn't matter if he is found out that he appeared in Liang State.Ji Yue is different, he is the king of Qin, once he is exposed, without the protection of the army and in someone else's territory, he may not be able to leave Liang Kingdom alive.

——This is the best time to strangle King Qin.

No matter how powerful Ji Yue is alone, he can't resist thousands of troops, and he can't make any mistakes before killing the curse-caster.For the safety of his life, he doesn't go out very much these days.

Being bored in the room all day, and Wei Lian was not around, he was naturally flustered.Ji Yue could feel a little bit of Wei Lian's previous feelings.Probably in Qin Palace, when he was busy with government affairs, Wei Lian was just as bored in Zhong Ling Palace.

At that time, Wei Lian was always waiting for him.

He remembered that once he discussed with the ministers about an important matter for three days, and went to Zhongling Palace on the fourth night, when Wei Lian went to the bed and hugged him quietly, he said lazily, "You can count yourself here. If you don't come again, I won't come Mushrooms grow."

Ji Yue touched his hair: "Why don't you find something to do to pass the time?"

"Those things have been done. I even know how many bricks and stones there are in the Zhongling Palace, and I almost don't know how many leaves are on the trees."

"So hard?"

"Not really." Wei Lian found a comfortable position and lay in his arms, "I just want to see you."

They are not people who can't leave each other for a moment regardless of everything, otherwise there will be no disaster of peace and separation for a month.Just thinking about this emotion is always difficult to control.

Wei Lian went out to inquire about the situation. It sounded easy, but in fact there were many dangers, but those hidden crises were all resolved by him with wisdom and force.Ji Yue knew that he was very capable, but he couldn't help worrying.

"Come back so early." Ji Yue said, "It seems that I have gained something."

"Indeed, it's easier than I imagined." Wei Lian sat down, "You're right, never underestimate how much a person cares for the person he loves."

Aslan is not a person who will trust others, but the possible experience of Melna has completely disintegrated his heart, causing him to fall into incomparable pain and self-blame, so he is not very familiar with Wei Lian. Confidentially.

"All the evidence points to that country witch." Wei Lian said, "Lin Yan'er is the former saintess of the Liang Kingdom, and it is also correct from the time point of view. She happened to be the one seven years ago..."

He briefly described Aslan's words, and finally said: "The eighth day of the lunar new year is the Flower God Festival. I asked Aslan that the country witch would sit in a float that day, surrounded by heavy guards. If it were his confidants, they would not try their best to stop us from assassinating."

Ji Yue thought for a moment: "Since the country witch has such great abilities, can he really kill him easily?"

"Always try." Wei Lian said, "It's just that no matter whether the assassination succeeds or fails, it is bound to scare the snake. At that time, Liang Guo will definitely increase its efforts to investigate foreigners. We are weak and need a way out."

"I've been prepared for a long time." Ji Yue said, "Since you dare to come to the Liang Kingdom, you have to make a perfect plan. The person who cast the curse is extremely capable. I guessed before that he was a high-ranking person. If he killed him, he might cause trouble. Cong Jiang Before Zhou left, Zhou Mingli asked Zhou Mingli to bring a secret order back to Yongping to thank Chen, ordering him to start attacking the border of Liang Kingdom within three months, and Liang Guo will definitely dispatch troops from the Royal City to stop it. At that time, the Royal City will be like an empty city, allowing us to come and go as we please Now, the Qin army has probably reached the border of Liang State."

Wei Lian was not surprised by Ji Yue's arrangement.It should be said that, as a strategizing king, it's strange that Ji Yue didn't take this into consideration.

He smiled lightly: "It's really easy to escape..."

"Who said you want to escape?" Ji Yue smiled, "An empty city, seizing it is not like picking something out of a bag? What's more, the theocracy of the Liang Kingdom is supreme, and their state witch is dead. It's like the collapse of faith, and the morale of the army will surely collapse. fight?"

"Gu will let people know that their gods can't protect them." Ji Yue's eyes lit up with the depth and coldness of an ambitious man, "Since Liang people dare to hurt our Qin people and curse our Qin monarch, how could Gu Just one life."

"From the very beginning, what is only needed is not just the blood of the person who cast the curse." Ji Yue hooked his lips without emotion, "What is only wanted is the entire Liang Kingdom."

Wei Lian rested his chin on one hand and listened quietly.

When Ji Yue looked over, his eyes were still calm, and he said "you continue".

"..." Ji Yue withdrew the burning flames in his eyes and coughed lightly, "Did I scare you?"

Wei Lian put his chin on his hands instead: "In your eyes, am I just so unintimidated?"

This was even within his expectations.

The country of Chen is dead, the prelude to the war has already begun, and the cavalry of the country of Qin will surely travel across the entire continent.Even Wei Lian had already made plans, let alone Ji Yue.

It's only a matter of time.

Now that he has come to Liang country, he simply wiped out all of them, which is very in line with Ji Yue's behavior style.

"Fools kill chickens and eggs, mediocre kills birds with one stone, and wise men kill two birds with one stone. As for you," Wei Lian curled his lips, "You don't want birds, you want the sky to fall."

Ji Yue laughed and said, "The one who knows me is Mr. Lian."

On the eighth day of August, the Flower God Festival arrives.

The entire royal city has become a sea of ​​flowers, and colorful flowers are decorated under the eaves in front of the windows.The girls put the flowers in their braids, wore them on their temples, and pinned them on their chests, each of them was more beautiful than the flowers.They crawled out of bed early and surrounded both sides of the wide street, waiting for the floats to pass by, ready to compete for the flowers that symbolize good luck.

There are long ropes on both sides of the street to clear the way, dividing the crowd into two long dragons.A naughty child got out from under the rope and ran to the middle of the empty street, and was immediately carried back by the child's mother: "The float will pass by here later! Don't run around!"

Ji Yue and Wei Lian were hiding in the crowd, waiting for the state witch to appear.

They are all dressed up like men, and the masks on their faces are not eye-catching.The Flower God Festival is a major festival in the Liang Kingdom. Many girls cover their faces with veils, and young men cover their faces with masks. It is said that this is also a custom.

Wei Lian turned the silver bracelet on his wrist calmly, and whispered: "Aslan said, the State Witch is on the third float, and the first two are for the Holy Son and the Holy Maiden. Later, the State Witch Appear, I will use the hidden weapon first, if you can't kill with one blow, then go together."

Ji Yue nodded.

The weather was fine today. They waited for about half an hour under the scorching sun, and finally heard a burst of music, and a gorgeous motorcade slowly came into view.

It begins with two plain white horses, a musician blowing as he walks, and a troop of heavily armed guards.Then came the first float, in which was the son of Aslan.

After the first float, there are flower girls standing on the flower stand with flower baskets, constantly spreading flowers on both sides of the road.These children are candidates for the next Holy Son and Daughter.

The sky is full of colorful flowers, pink, red, purple, yellow... everything, but there is no white flower.

White flowers are very unlucky in Liang Guo, and they are only used in funerals.

The people on both sides became excited instantly, stretching their bodies to pick up the falling flowers.

After that, there is the Virgin Myrna sitting on the second float.

The floats are open, and everyone can see the face of the saint.Maierna is dressed as a saint, wearing a veil, only revealing a pair of beautiful eyes, receiving the attention of everyone.

Wei Lian and Ji Yue were waiting for the third float to approach.

Wei Lian buckled the mechanism on the silver bracelet, and the four silver needles were silently caught between his fingers.

Ji Yue seemed to fiddle with the belt inadvertently. The short knife pinned to his waist is in a retractable mode, which can be transformed into a long sword at any time when needed.

Finally, the third float appeared.

The State Witch did not cover her face.

It was a stunning woman who was well dressed and had an extremely beautiful appearance.

She was sitting upright on the float, with her hands folded on her knees, her long skirt covering her insteps, and her whole body was graceful and luxurious.The beautiful face and calm eyes are not like anything in the world, the beauty of a fairy is like a god descending.

Let Ji Yue evaluate it without personal emotion: it is not as good-looking as Gu, and it is not as good-looking as Ah Lian.

She probably looked a little better than the number one beauty, Princess Chonghua, who had turned into a pink skull long ago.

Wei Lian moved his fingertips slightly, and was about to make a move, but at this moment, a sudden change occurred——

On the other side of the crowd, a masked woman in purple suddenly flew up, holding a soft whip, and went straight to the third float: "It's you!"

The state witch's expression remained unchanged, and he didn't give her a look.

Wei Lian paused, then took back the silver needle in his hand: "It's Lin Yan'er."

He doesn't know the abilities of this country witch at the moment, so it's better to let Lin Yan'er find out the details.

The soldiers hurriedly issued an order: "Protect Your Majesty the State Witch!"

Lin Yan'er sneered, swung her sleeves and sprinkled a handful of poisonous powder, instantly causing the soldiers around the float to lower their bodies and cover their mouths to cough.She didn't intend to clean up these people and went straight to the woman in the car.

"It's you who caused me to become like this!" Lin Yan'er swung the whip, the country witch raised her eyes calmly, and said something in her mouth, Lin Yan'er was caught by an invisible barrier before she got close. Shaking and flying, it was about to fall to the open space in front of it.

Wei Lian: "...It seems that she can't find out the truth."

The disparity in strength is too great.

"She must have recited a spell." Ji Yue was keenly observant, "She moved her mouth just now."

"Yan'er!" At the very moment, Xiao Wen immediately appeared, catching Lin Yan'er from the air, and fell to the ground.

Lin Yan'er fell into Xiao Wen's arms and passed out directly.

"Yan'er! Yan'er!" Xiao Wen yelled twice and raised his head angrily, "What did you do to her!"

Chong Guan was angry and became a beauty, Xiao Wen got angry from the heart, drew his sword and flew towards the country witch.

If you want to get close to the State Witch, you have to pass the level of Aslan first.But Aslan only hesitated for a moment, and pretended not to react, without moving.

Melna stared at the fainted woman in a daze: "I see why she looks so familiar..."

Xiao Wen stepped on the roofs of the two floats unhindered, raised his knife and stabbed the State Witch.

In the crowd, Wei Lian said softly: "I always feel like it's a gift of someone's head..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Wen also flew out backwards and fell beside Lin Yan'er.He was hurt more than Lin Yan'er, and even vomited a mouthful of blood.

He looked pained, but he still tried his best to crawl to Lin Yaner's side, wanting to hug her.

"Yan'er..." Xiao Wen said in a low voice, "I will protect you well."

Lin Yan'er smelled the strong smell of blood, and moved her fingers imperceptibly.

Observer Ji Yue calmly said: "She recited the curse again. I saw her chanting words with hand seals just now. It should be that Xiao Wen's martial arts is better than Lin Yan'er, and her coping has also become stronger."

So Xiao Wen was hurt more than Lin Yan'er.

It's just that Xiao Wen didn't faint, and lay on the ground lingering on his last breath.

Wei Lian said, "Then tell her to shut up."

How fast martial arts do you need to be faster than a human mouth?

"Huh? A white flower?" The child who ran to the middle of the street just now, suddenly caught a white petal curiously, looked at the whiteness in his palm, "Mother, what kind of flower is this?"

The mother's expression changed, and she quickly threw the petals away: "White flowers are unlucky flowers! Wait a minute...why are there white flowers?"

The flower girls had stopped spreading flowers long ago because of this sudden change, but the rain of flowers was still floating all over the sky.

It's just that the original colorfulness... was covered by snow-white petals.

The common people were at a loss: "Where did the white flowers come from..."

Ji Yue said: "Lin Yan'er is awake."

Wei Lian raised his eyes and saw that Lin Yan'er, who was fainted on the ground, had stood up at some point.

It just so happened that a gust of wind blew off her veil, revealing that beautiful face with a pair of affectionate eyes as cold as frost at the moment.

Xiao Wen was startled: "Yan'er..."

Seeing that face, Melna was stunned for a moment.

Lin Yan'er looked down at Xiao Wen, whose mouth was still stained with blood, and lifted her fingertips stained with Danko.The condensed internal force instantly rolled the white petals floating in the air into a tornado shape, and swept towards the third float with a thunderous force.

thumping!

The soft petals are like a sharp weapon, cutting the entire float into pieces in an instant.

The color of the country witch's pupils changed slightly, and he immediately chanted a mantra urgently, so as not to let himself be cut into pieces.

"She has become stronger." Ji Yue looked at this scene in surprise.

"It's not getting stronger." Wei Lian said, "It's a substitution."

At the same time, Melna exclaimed: "You are the previous saint, Aida Semiya!"

"I'm not her." The woman said lightly.

She held a complete white flower in her palm, glamorous and elegant: "I am Tumi."
