Hongdi

Bei Yaofei seemed to have exhausted all his strength, his body tilted, and he fell straight to the side.Ling Yanxiu hurriedly stepped forward and hugged him, stretched out his hand to check his pulse, and couldn't help but gasped.Bei Yaofei forced himself to stabilize his mind, slowly opened his eyes, but saw Bei Huaxi with an indifferent face walking towards him, and behind him was Yu Xun who was tightly entangled by a giant python.

"Cousin, don't struggle anymore. Even if you kill me, you still can't break this spell. Don't forget, you saved that child with your own blood. As long as he is still in our hands, you Can't resist half a point."

Bei Yaofei suddenly felt that the cousin in front of him was very strange, as if he had never seen this person clearly before.But when I think about it carefully, this is normal, and I just got along with him for a while when I was a child.Originally, he thought that Bei Huaxi was going to Yuxun's child just to find an excuse to continue entangled with him, but he didn't expect that it was to control himself.Leaning weakly on Ling Yanxiu, he felt powerless for the first time.In the past, he never felt this way even when facing the strongest opponents, but this time it was different. An extremely clear voice in his heart kept admonishing him, "Whoever betrays the king, die!"

He wanted to reason with this person, even if it was just to let the python on Yu Xun's neck go away, but when he opened his mouth, all his words were blocked by the blood gushing out madly.Wave after wave of darkness hit his overwhelmed brain. Gradually, he could no longer support his heavy eyelids and passed out.

Yu Xun was already dazed by the giant python, and just smelling the fishy smell from that guy's mouth made him want to faint all of a sudden.However, in the current situation, he absolutely cannot show weakness.He kept encouraging himself, pinched the python's body abruptly, and tried hard to get more air for himself.Just as Shi Shanrong and others on the side wanted to step forward to help, Yu Xun had another short knife around his neck.Lord Jin looked at them with a smile, and whispered in Yuxun's ear: "Your Highness Yuxun, it's time to tell your people how to serve your emperor well."

Bei Huaxi clapped two palms, and the giant python slowly loosened up a bit.Yu Xun took a deep breath, and said to Bei Huaxi, "You want this king's son just to control Beibei?"

Bei Huaxi nodded expressionlessly.

"Well, it's fine for me to follow you obediently. It's also easy for me to let my subordinates continue to serve the emperor, but the premise is that you return the child!" Yu Xun glared at him aggressively, his eyes burning. Anger almost spewed out.However, those who are familiar with him can still see the hidden fear in those bottomless eyes, the snake—has always been his deathbed.

"Do you think you still have the ability to bargain now?" Bei Huaxi twitched the corners of his lips in disdain, revealing his disgust beyond doubt.

Yu Xun gradually calmed down, neither humble nor overbearing, calmly said: "If you don't mind taking a corpse back, this king can make it happen."

"Your Highness Yuxun, do you want to die?" Lord Jin seemed curious about his question, and looked at him with all eyes.

Yu Xun smiled faintly, and suddenly poked his neck forward, and the bright red blood beads soaked the thin blade of the short knife in an instant, "There are many ways to die, and it's really easy to borrow this knife from you, but I don't know when the time will come." How are you going to explain to King Xi? But if you don’t want to lend the sword to me, I still have ways to go to the Palace of the King of Hell.”

Master Jin frowned tightly, and moved the dagger unconsciously, "That child is of no use to us, so it's okay to return it to you."

"My lord!" Bei Huaxi looked at him in surprise, and said unwillingly, "The child cannot be returned to them."

"Is there any use for you to keep him? The king said that this time only Hong Yuxun will be taken back alone, and no other members of the royal family of Hongguo will be accepted. Or, you can just kill the child and the traitor who betrayed the king." .”

Bei Huaxi bit her lip and nodded helplessly.

Master Jin looked at Yu Xun and said with a smile, "Can you do what I said now?"

Yu Xun rolled his eyes at him without hesitation, and said in his heart: "What do you mean we don't accept anything, and we are not willing to go!" He tried his best to keep his voice as calm as possible, and said loudly: "Shi Shanrong and others Obey the order!"

All of a sudden the court fell to his knees, Lord Jin looked at him in a little surprise, he didn't expect this prince who was only in his early twenties to have such a great appeal.He unconsciously began to approve of the action.If Yu Xun is allowed to take over Hongguo, Hongguo will grow stronger, which is definitely not what Xiguo wants to see.No wonder when the hostage candidate was determined, Wang Shang tried his best to insist on him. It turned out that this Hong Yuxun was actually a loser.

Yu Xun coughed lightly, tried his best to ignore the giant python hanging on his body, and said lightly: "From now on, this king will take Xi as a hostage, and I will not ask about Hongguo's affairs. Please serve the emperor with all your heart and govern Dahong well." , so that the common people can live and work in peace and contentment. This king is here to ask everyone."

"Rising into the sun as a hostage?" Xie Ximing hurried in from the outside. Hearing these few words, he became impatient and raised his voice several times. "Your Highness, what nonsense are you talking about! How could we let you go?" Hostage?"

Bei Huaxi squinted, and the purple silk ribbon was thrown out suddenly. Jiang Tian, ​​who was following Xie Ximing, was shocked. He pulled Xie Ximing away, drew the sword and pushed the silk ribbon away, and the silk ribbon hit a stone pillar next to him, "Bang!" Hit a big hole with a bang.Xie Ximing rubbed his neck in fear, automatically dodged behind Jiang Tianyi, stared at Yu Xun and said, "My Dahong and Xiguo have always had a good relationship, but I have never heard of the hostage incident, should you explain it carefully? "

"Xie Ximing, calm down. In fact, I haven't heard of it, so it doesn't mean I don't know, does it?" Yu Xun glanced at him meaningfully, and said: "Serve the emperor well, and leave the future to the father." Royal brother."

Xie Ximing's mind flashed the matter that Yu Xun had let him hide soldiers, and he was flustered for a while, but he calmed down again immediately, "I obey the order! It's just that I have something to say to Master Jin of Xi Kingdom."

Lord Jin nodded leisurely, "What's the matter?"

"My lord Jin, since His Highness wants to take Xi as a hostage, we as ministers, can we send each other?"

"It's no problem to send it outside Youcheng." Master Jin finished speaking, regardless of Xie Ximing's pale face, he said to Yuxun: "We are in a hurry, can Your Highness come with us to Panruo Palace?"

Yu Xun nodded, "Since the king has agreed, can you let this python go away, it is too heavy."

Bei Huaxi rolled her eyes in displeasure, "Is the purple jade heavy?"

"This king can't bear it!" Yu Xun looked at him coldly.Bei Huaxi didn't say anything, and took a step forward to wrap the python around him.

Yu Xun walked up to Ling Yanxiu, looked at Bei Yaofei who had fallen into a coma, and felt extremely distressed, "Bei Huaxi, he is your cousin after all, don't hurt him."

"As long as you are honest, he will be fine."

Ge Husheng clenched his fist and slammed it on the ground, "Wait a minute, Your Highness!"

Yu Xun turned his head, a little puzzled, "What else?"

"Your Highness, we are not afraid of the Kingdom of Xi!" Ge Husheng's voice was almost roaring, but it was not aimed at Yu Xun, but at the smiling and silent Lord Jin.Anyone who was beaten back to their original shape with a hammer just before their eyes saw success would not be reconciled, what's more, they were not only beaten back to their original shape, but also faced future punishment from the emperor.

Yu Xun sighed softly and shook his head, "I believe Brother Huang will do better than this king."

"But Your Highness..."

Yu Xun walked out of the hall without waiting for him to finish speaking.Master Jin nodded in satisfaction, took a meaningful look at Emperor Xiaoyin, and turned to leave.

Panruo Hall is a small palace used to host sacrifices in the palace. It is very close to the Jinluan Hall where the emperor discusses affairs. It seems to be a side hall of it, but there is a palace wall blocking it.

When Yu Xun came in, he saw many people in Panruo Hall, all dressed in white robes, circling around a stove in an orderly manner, muttering strange things, and from time to time someone added something to the fire, The flames that sprang out kept changing strange colors.

Yu Xun hesitated for a moment and walked into the room.Suddenly, he felt that there seemed to be an extra pair of eyes staring at him, and subconsciously turned his head, and saw the child lying on a round table full of symbols.Although he didn't meet this child many times, he could still recognize him from those dark green eyes.His brows were furrowed almost imperceptibly, Lord Jin smiled when he saw this, and comforted him: "His Royal Highness Yuxun can rest assured, I will send the little prince to your father."

"Can I give it to Xie Ximing? It's the scholar who came in last."

"Oh." Lord Jin nodded, "Yes. Your Highness should take the medicine first."

Yu Xun took the medicine and stuffed it into his mouth and swallowed it, "Master Jin, can you send this child out now?"

"Of course. Tanuo, send this child over there and give it to a man named Xie Ximing."

A brown-haired young man standing in a corner walked to the round table in response, picked up the child and walked out.

Yu Xun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.The people circling around the stove had stopped, but they were still chanting words.Master Jin grabbed Yu Xun's left arm and walked over.Only then did Yu Xun see clearly that what was burning in the stove was a somewhat weird-looking bug!

Feeling inexplicably terrified, he couldn't help but took half a step back, but unexpectedly, Bei Huaxi stepped forward and restrained him, Master Jin flipped his hand, rolled up the sleeve of his left arm, and brought the inside of his forearm closer to the fire.A red-haired young man picked up a small silver spoon, fished out the still burning worm and put it on his arm.

"Ah——!" Yu Xun bit his lower lip tightly but still couldn't help crying out in pain. The piercing pain made his whole body tremble non-stop. He pulled his arm desperately, but he couldn't shake the grip that was holding him. people.Cold sweat trickled down his forehead, and condensed on his thick eyelashes. He stared at the writhing bug, but watched helplessly as it got into his skin. He could almost hear the thing The 'clack' sound of biting one's own bones.Immediately afterwards, the world spun...

The moment he closed his eyes, he saw a blood-red brand appear on his arm, like a giant python coiled in a sea of ​​magnificent flowers, quietly waiting for the prey to throw itself into the net...
