The killing of King Ji, the Night King did not do it secretly, and he did not intend to hide it.

Therefore, the matter soon reached the ears of King Qi.

Hearing this news, King Qi was furious and smashed everything in the palace to pieces.

"It's unreasonable, it's unreasonable, that Ye Lin doesn't care about Gu at all." King Qi said angrily as he sat in the ruins panting after dropping his things.

The palace people next to him were silent, and they didn't even dare to touch his brow at this time.

Just when the palace was dead silent and seemed extraordinarily quiet, suddenly another urgent report came from outside the palace.

King Qi looked at the report, his eyes became colder and colder, and finally threw the sent letter paper to the ground.Looking ahead with gloomy eyes, as if he could see someone not far away, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, very good!"

Soon, he suddenly calmed down again, staring at the thing he had thrown on the ground, and said to the silent palace man next to him, "Go invite King Cheng."

"Yes."

Looking at the backs of the palace people leaving in a hurry, King Qi thought with gloomy eyes, compared to King Xiang and King Ji, King Cheng is a man with solid military exploits.Moreover, he is the most powerful among these princes and kings. If the two of them join forces, he does not believe that they will not be able to take down the Night King.

At this time, King Qi couldn't care less about whether he would cultivate a strong opponent if he joined forces with King Cheng to destroy the Night King. He just wanted to kill the Night King first.

……

Siji sat in the room, a little worried.

He knew that King Ji was dead, and King Night was leading his army to King Ji's territory at this time, wanting to take the opportunity to take over their territory.He could see the ambition of the Night King and knew what he was going to do in the end.It's just a little strange, obviously the original Night King was not like this.Why do you love war so much now?

When thinking of war, Xiji thought of those displaced people.The throne of the superior must be formed by the accumulation of the bones of the common people.Thinking of this made Xiji feel a little uncomfortable.

Wanlian looked at Xiji who had been frowning for several days, and knew why he was worried, but didn't know how to persuade him.Taking one last look at his bulging belly, he gritted his teeth and called the little maid who was by his side over, and whispered some instructions.Seeing the back of the little maid walking away quickly, she was slightly relieved.

Then, he took the tea from the servant and put it in front of him.

"My lord, this is the pastry newly made by the cook, should you try it, my lord?"

Xiji looked at the pastry decorated like a work of art in front of him, shook his head, and refused: "I don't want to eat it now."

Seeing this, Wan Lian stopped forcing him, and just put the pastry beside her, ready to hand it to him when he wanted to eat it.

Just when Xiji was having so many thoughts and couldn't figure out a clue, a request for someone to visit came from outside the door.After hearing that those people were Lu Yin and Bi Jiang, they were a little surprised at first, and then they were invited in quickly.

Seeing the people coming, Xiji's eyes were a bit strange. Now is the time of chaos, so the business is also a little unstable.Luyin and Bijiang have been sitting outside all the time, very busy. Even if there is something, Xiji usually goes to find them, or they pass letters to each other.The number of times they come directly like this is very small.

Therefore, seeing the two of them coming together, Xiji felt a little surprised, and looked at them and asked strangely: "Is there something important happening in the store, do you need my help?"

The two shook their heads in unison, Lu Yin wanted to say something first, but was held back by Bi Jiang, and then reluctantly closed her mouth.Seeing the movements of the two of them, Xiji became more and more curious about the purpose of their visit, why they came to him and made it so mysterious.

Fortunately, Bijiang didn't hold back his appetite, and reached out to take a big box from the servant following behind him, then handed it to Xiji's eyes, and said softly: "My lord, this is what we heard You are bored in the mansion, and I specially collected the gadgets for you, hoping to accompany you to relieve boredom."

Xiji glanced at Bi Jiang's slender arm, and then at the big and heavy box in front of him, but couldn't help his curiosity, and opened it.

Seeing that there are many gadgets placed inside, all of which can be played in the house, I suddenly feel ironed in my heart, looked at Bi Jiang and the others and thanked: "You bother to worry."

Bijiang looked at Xiji's face, which was a little fatter due to pregnancy, but became more attractive, and said with a shallow smile, "It doesn't matter, as long as you like it."

Looking at the smile on Bijiang's face, Xiji suddenly realized that Bijiang looked much more cheerful than before leaving the mansion, and didn't know what happened along the way.

Although they can communicate, they can't talk about every detail. Sometimes they are too busy on their side, so they only send some simple procedures to Xiji, and they don't have time to talk about more.

Bijiang looked at Xiji staring at him, smiled slightly, and asked casually: "My lord, I want to know, what did we see when we went out during that time?"

Bijiang's proposal was exactly what he wanted. Hearing her words, Xiji nodded and replied, "If you are not busy, you can talk to me."

Bi Jiang slightly opened his lips, and said, "Of course I'm not busy. You know, except for those wealthy families, ordinary people's life is very difficult?"

Xiji nodded, and replied: "Of course I know." He worked all year round, and when he didn't rest, he just wanted to make a living.

Bijiang looked at his rather innocent eyes without much haze, and knew that he didn't understand what it meant.But he didn't say much, but continued:

"We have visited many places along the way, most of which are places where ordinary people live. Most of them are similar and nothing special. However, there are some particularly poor places, which are more difficult than most people.

When we got there, at first they didn't dare to do anything when they saw that there were too many of us, but when they saw that we were good people, they started to push forward.He wants to sell us his children and let us take them away. "

When Xiji heard this, a somewhat surprised look appeared on his face at the right time.

Bijiang smiled slightly, and continued: "I'm just bored, and I don't think there's anything wrong with what they're doing. It's because their area is already barren, and the drought in the past few years has made it even more difficult for them. .

Sell ​​us your children and they may live.If he continued to stay there, he might have starved to death before he grew up, or he might have survived like his ancestors did, and he would have survived it. "

Hearing this, Xiji felt that it was like a fairy tale. She glanced at her and couldn't imagine the feelings of those people selling their sons and daughters.

Seeing the confusion on Xiji's face, Bijiang continued with a smile on his lips, "We didn't accept those children in the end, and left them with ways to transport water and breed. Although they were disappointed, they didn't continue to pester them."

Hearing this, Siji breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Bijiang felt that his young master was still that kind-hearted brother, so he looked at him and asked, "Young master, have you seen and contacted those refugees?"

Xiji didn't know why she suddenly mentioned this. After thinking for a while, she still said with some uncertainty: "I have only seen them, and I have never had contact with them."

"Does the young master know why they left their homes and traveled thousands of miles to seek a living elsewhere?" Bijiang asked softly.

Siji shook his head.

Seeing this, Bijiang didn't have the slightest surprise on his face, but as if he was afraid of scaring Xiji, he lowered his voice and said: "They are like this, naturally because they can't live in the original place. You know Well, although your lord doesn't care much about the affairs of the territory on weekdays, and his reputation is not very good, but because of Mr. Guo's control, the people on this land are living the best life.

As for the people in other places, not only are the harvests poor because of the drought every year, but also because of the excessive taxes imposed by the higher authorities, there are many people who sell their sons and daughters.It's not the most important thing, the most important thing is, you know?In some places, even children cannot be sold.Do you know what happens when this happens? "

Xiji shook her head again and again, feeling that what she was going to say next might be beyond her ability.

Sure enough, Bijiang looked at Xiji steadily, and smiled slightly, "Naturally, you can eat whatever you have. Once a person is extremely hungry, he is not even as good as a beast."

Xiji swallowed, feeling that he had glimpsed a little truth.

Afterwards, Bijiang looked at him and continued: "Except for the people in the Lord's territory, those tragedies abound in other places. It is also because of this that the reason why the Lord was able to break through King Xiang's city gate so quickly was because the people opened it for him." He left the city gate and chose a new master for himself."

Hearing this, Xiji suddenly knew why Bijiang had to talk so much to him.

Xiji came back to his senses a little bit, watched her open her mouth wide, and finally didn't say much.After thinking for a few moments, he finally nodded and said, "I see."

Seeing this, Bijiang knew that his task was completed, looked at him with a slight smile, stared at his stomach, and said softly: "My lord, those things are done by grown-ups, what you need to do is to take good care of him." Body, give birth to a healthy little master."

Hearing what she said, Xiji looked at her swollen belly, and responded with some embarrassment.

Seeing that Xiji understood what he meant, Bijiang didn't say anything more, and asked the maid who came to bring over the things they had collected during this time, and talked with Xiji affectionately for a while, and finally Say goodbye and go out busy.

After they left, Xiji looked at her stomach and said helplessly, "Well, I can't do anything anyway, just stay here and wait for your lord to come back."

……

"My lord, in two more days, we will be able to capture this city." White shirt was dressed in blood, and said excitedly to the Night King.

Their lords really knew everything well, after the news of King Ji's death came back to Jicheng, his sons only cared about dividing up what his father left behind, none of them wanted to avenge their father.Even when they hit the gate of the city, those guys didn't have much reaction.

"continue."

"Yes."

The Night King looked at the Night King's army not far away, who were fighting more and more bravely, and then looked at the Ji King's army that was fighting and retreating, and there was a hint of ridicule in his eyes.
