After rebirth, I became the villain's Mr.
Chapter 20 King's Sword
What happened next was the same as what Tao Jiusi experienced in his previous life.Wei Wuyue killed Zhou Shi, guard Huai Li, Concubine Du Gui's arrogance became stronger, and Wei Rongyu's status also rose accordingly.
The pill case has subsided, and it is almost the Mid-Autumn Festival.Coming almost at the same time as the Mid-Autumn Festival is Tao Jiusi's 20th birthday.
In fact, Tao Jiusi is an orphan whose parents are unknown, so it is impossible to verify when and when he was born. The so-called birthday is just the day when the old monk picked up Tao Jiusi.
Tao Jiusi remembered that when he was still in peace, every year on this day, a veiled woman in black would come to the temple to offer incense, and the old monk would always abnormally instruct him to collect incense money.After the age of eight or nine, the woman never came again, and the old monk, as if his soul had been robbed, gradually became weaker and weaker, and finally passed away in the meditation room of the ruined temple.
Due to his childhood experience, Tao Jiusi always took birthdays very lightly. In addition, this dynasty does not hold crown ceremonies. Even if it is his 20th birthday this time, Tao Jiusi has no intention of making a fuss.Su Qingquan understood what he was thinking, and didn't want his younger brother to think that he had a sad life experience, so he only invited Tao Jiusi's friends to come to his house for a small gathering, which was considered lively.
When Tao Jiusi woke up this day, there were new clothes made by his mother and younger sister on the table, and his brother asked for a day off for him, allowing Tao Jiusi to steal a day of leisure.
As soon as Xia Kaiyan and Fang Zongqi came out of the palace, they went straight to the Su residence, each bringing gifts to congratulate their friends on their birthday.He Yunxi also arrived early, with big and small bags, and he was short of buying a brush and ink shop for Tao Jiusi.
In the evening, everyone gathered together and ate the fashionable shabu shabu in Jingluo City, which was warm and happy.
Su Wenzheng and his wife ate for a while and then got off the table, thinking about letting the young people chat freely.
As soon as Su Wenzheng left, everyone really relaxed. He Xiyun told a lot of jokes, which made everyone smile.
Everyone here, except for the female relatives and He Xiyun, has official positions, and while chatting, it is unavoidable to turn around the current situation.
Xia Kaiyan sandwiched a piece of fat and thin mutton, dipped it in the seasoning, and said: "Listen to my father, the second prince now has a lot of ceremonial guards like the prince, it seems that this position will be his sooner or later."
Su Qingquan said: "That's not necessarily true. I heard that although the third prince is grounded, the emperor still loves this son. He sent a lot of maids to wait on him. Not to mention, he also complied with the third prince's request and invited the commander of the Jingwei to teach him. He is martial arts."
Tao Jiusi said: "The more the emperor is like this, the more dangerous the third prince will be."
Xia Kaiyan thought deeply: "The Third Prince's favor is still there, Concubine Du Gui will not make it easy for him." She smiled slyly and asked: "Now that there are no outsiders, why don't you tell me which prince you all support?"
When Fang Zongqi heard it, the chopsticks he had just raised could not fall down. He became an official, and he only wanted to serve the court, to be loyal to the Emperor David, and not to favor any prince, but recently the eldest princess begged him, Or ask him to stand on the side of the third prince.The wrestling between ambitions and feelings made him exhausted, he really didn't know what to do, and he had a dull personality, and he didn't want to tell his friends.
When Tao Jiusi saw Fang Zongqi's pair of chopsticks in a dilemma, he thought that Xia Kaiyan was the only one who supported the eldest prince at the table, and after reliving his life, Fang Zongqi was the only one who did not support the eldest prince.Good fortune tricks people, it is emotional.
He didn't want to embarrass Fang Zongqi, and joked: "The emperor is still in his prime, maybe there will be more princes in the future, not necessarily these few."
He Xiyun also joked: "I don't understand the affairs of the court. The second and third princes are not as important as Xiaotao today."
Seeing Fang Zongqi's distressed face, Xia Kaiyan closed her mouth after realizing something, and said instead: "Brother He is right, let's toast Jiusi with a glass of water and wine."
A few people chatted and laughed, and soon it was time to hold the lanterns. Everyone would be on duty tomorrow, so they went home and went to bed early.
Only Tao Jiusi went out under the moonlight and headed towards Nanny Gui's house.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he didn't see Wei Chengxue, but heard a dingling sound from the kitchen. Tao Jiusi hurried over to have a look, only to find that it was Wei Chengxue who was chopping vegetables.
There are already some chopped green vegetables in the porcelain plate on the table, which are neat and uniform in size, obviously the result of careful handling.Next to the green vegetables is a piece of dough, which is smooth and white, and it can be seen that the person who kneaded it was meticulous and patient.
When Wei Lingxue heard Tao Jiusi enter the door, she threw down the knife in embarrassment.
Tao Jiusi inspected a circle of ingredients, thinking to himself that the child still has filial piety, and did not cover him in vain.
Wei Lingxue regained her calm voice: "Nurse Gui said that longevity noodles are always eaten on birthdays, so I want to make them for my husband. Go sit outside for a while, and it will be ready soon."
Tao Jiusi nodded, only to burst into tears, which was as good as eating the meal cooked by his own son.
Tao Jiusi walked into the room at a steady pace, and saw a book on the table, which was the only copy of the previous dynasty he had been dreaming of. Excited, he quickly looked at it with a lamp.
After a while, Wei Lingxue came in with a bowl of noodles. Seeing Tao Jiusi concentrating on reading under the candlelight, he thought that this gift was the right one.
"Sir, come and eat noodles." Wei Lingxue called softly.
Tao Jiusi responded, but couldn't get up, and was still reading under the lamp.
Wei Lingxue walked over and took out the book from Tao Jiusi's hand: "This is a gift from me. You can read it slowly when you get home. Let's eat noodles first."
Tao Jiusi rubbed his nose, looked at the book that Wei Lingxue snatched, and asked in surprise, "Where did you get the money?"
Wei Lingxue: "Ask Jia Rui to borrow it."
Tao Jiusi thought to himself, it's really pitiful for the dignified prince to rely on borrowed money to buy gifts, and his sympathy for Wei Chengxue deepened a little.
Going obediently to the table, looking at this bowl of Yangchun noodles that looked good, Tao Jiusi picked up a big lump and put it in his mouth happily and emotionally. Although the taste was mediocre, Tao Jiusi still tasted the feeling of being a father for the first time.
Seeing that he was eating happily, Wei Nexue felt at ease. This was his first time cooking, and it took him two full hours to serve this bowl of noodles. He was still afraid that Tao Jiusi would not like it just before serving it.
Wei Lingxue looked at Tao Jiusi and said, "Sir, what is your birthday wish?"
Tao Jiu thought for a while, and when he was about to speak, Wei Lingxue's complexion changed, and he blew out the candle, and whispered in Tao Jiusi's ear, "Someone is here, don't come out, I'll go and have a look."
After finishing speaking, Wei Lingxue flashed into the night, Tao Jiusi was worried, so he followed out.
Walking to the backyard wall, suddenly saw Wei Nexue twisting a man's arm, and asked sharply, "Who sent you here?"
The man struggled and kept saying: "Master, I was wrong, let me go, sir, I should never have stolen from your old man."
Tao Jiusi walked over, and under the moonlight, he couldn't see the man's face clearly for a long time, but he saw that his coarse linen clothes were in tatters.After thinking for a moment, he said: "This person is probably an ordinary thief, the hall... you can let him go."
Wei Lingxue didn't answer, and knocked the man unconscious with a punch, and took out another knife from the kitchen.
When Tao Jiusi saw it, he was terrified: "Your Highness, how could he be sent by someone to spy on you!"
Wei Lingxue frowned: "Even if someone didn't instigate it, it would be inappropriate for him to leak his whereabouts."
Tao Jiusi: "It's so dark that I can't even see his face clearly. How can he know who you and I are? Even if he sees him, can he know that you are the eldest prince?"
Wei Lingxue pointed at the man with a knife: "It's better to kill a hundred by mistake than to let one go. If someone finds out that we met privately, it might cause a lot of trouble."
When Tao Jiusi saw Wei Chengxue's appearance, he suddenly remembered the rumors in Jingluo after Dongqi was destroyed in his previous life.
Rumor has it that Wei Chengxue is not actually a human being, but a big devil from hell who kills ninety-nine and 81 people every day in order to maintain his mana; it is said that Wei Chengxue does not need to send out troops to attack the city, but invites the evil spirit to kill him. Soldiers, you can look down on them.
Tao Jiusi's heart sank. Could it be that the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change after all?Can't help but sadly said: "Your Highness said before that he would not kill the people of the enemy country lightly, and he should put virtue and law first. Could it be that he is lying to me?"
Wei Lingxue was taken aback. What he said that day was indeed to trick Tao Jiusi into being happy. He thought Tao Jiusi was a nerd, and his mind was only benevolent and righteous after reading too much, but he didn't want Tao Jiusi to be unhappy, so he tried his best to cover up those bloodthirsty thoughts.
But in the end, it was just talk on paper before, and when he really wanted to kill someone in reality, he still wouldn't hesitate at all.
But now he hesitated, not even daring to look Tao Jiusi directly in the eyes.
Tao Jiusi looked at Wei Lingxue, who had wandering eyes, and said very seriously: "You just asked me what I wish for, but now I think of one. I hope you will do less crimes from now on!"
Wei Lingxue was startled, and the atmosphere was suddenly cold and stalemate.
Wei Lingxue's world is filled with the principles that the strong are king, cutting grass and roots, and merciless. This is the defense he has built since childhood, and it is also the way he can think of to avoid getting hurt.
Originally, the defense was high, but because of Tao Jiusi's appearance, a crack slowly opened. Now the crack is getting bigger and bigger. Wei Lingxue is both afraid and longing. He was afraid that this gap would collapse the world he created; he wanted to hold everything that shone through the gap, but he was also worried that the warm wind and spring light would be fleeting, leaving only his heart empty.
After a while, Wei Lingxue said slowly: "You don't like me killing people?"
Tao Jiusi was categorical: "I don't like it. Your sword should not be pointed at innocent people, not at your own people, but at wolves, tigers and leopards, but at your enemies. Your Highness, you have the spirit of a king, I don't I will ask you to abide by the morality of the Junzi's Sword, but I only ask you to abide by the principles of the King's Sword."
Wei Lingxue looked at Tao Jiusi quietly, the latter's face was firm, and there was a faint light of a strong man.Wei Lingxue loosened the hand holding the knife, and called Hua Yuntai to come in and throw the man away from afar.
"The noodles should be lumpy, I'll go get another bowl." Wei Lingxue went to the kitchen, stopped suddenly, and said without thinking: "The wish you made will come true."
Tao Jiusi breathed a sigh of relief. He wasn't sure if Wei Lingxue could do it, but it would be a good thing to accept what he said.
Tao Jiusi recalled his previous life, Wei Rongyu was hesitant, but also benevolent and kind. In addition, Tao Jiusi blindly taught him those principles, which made Wei Rongyu more indecisive, making it difficult to fight against Wei Chengxue, let alone protect the people.
Only now did he know that an emperor should not only be magnanimous, but also decisive.
The pill case has subsided, and it is almost the Mid-Autumn Festival.Coming almost at the same time as the Mid-Autumn Festival is Tao Jiusi's 20th birthday.
