Chapter 117 Decision

"How do you think I learned that the blood in your body can relieve the poison in my body? How do you think I learned about your identity as a saint of the Hu nationality? There is no lack of sarcasm in Zhou Xiong's tone.

"What does all this have to do with him?" Lin Yi couldn't help but be stunned.

"If he hadn't told me, how could I know so much about it? In order to save his life, I didn't hesitate to use you as bait. Originally, I could have killed him when I got you, but who knew that you would exchange his life with your own threat? However, all this was his careful arrangement!"

"Impossible!" Lin consciously reached out to cover his ears and didn't want to believe Zhou Xiong's words.

"I have told you the truth of the matter. Believe it or not, it's all up to you!" As Zhou Xiong spoke, he paid attention to the charm held in Lin Yi's hand, but he was not idle. Taking advantage of his success to distract Lin Yi's attention, he slowly approached Lin Yi in an attempt to seize the charm.

However, what did not make him think that at the moment his hand was about to touch the military charm, Princess Nalan pushed Lin Yi away and stood in front of him. She frowned and her eyes were full of worry and admonition: "Brother, why are you still here to deceive her now? Lin Yi said a lot. In those years, his brother used all means to seize the throne from Emperor Yan, but although the people in the country were under his brother's rule on the surface, who secretly talked about the abundance of food and clothing when Emperor Yan was in the throne and his brother and several princes were dedicated to assist him? Now my brother's people's hearts have been lost. If my brother is still so obsessed and wants to move troops, it must be another fierce battle. Even if my brother is strong and strong, and he regains the regime from Xuan Sa, can the people really submit to his brother as in the past at that time?

"Since ancient times, they have been kings and defeated bandits. If the people are not convinced, I will kill them to give in!" Zhou Xiong stared at Nalan and said viciously.

Lin Yi shook his head secretly. How can such a world last for a long time?

"Brother, don't you understand today? A country can't be safe for a long time by killing a few people!" Nalan sincerely advised.

"In your words, I let Yan Sa go in vain, and the country I fought with one hand gave away like this? I'm not reconciled!"

"Brother, have you been in power for so many years, have you been happy? Although my brother is noble and there are many people who support him, I can't trust any of him. How many times has my brother suddenly woke up in his sleep and dreamed that he was mutilated by the people around him? Is my brother really willing to live such a worried life again? Saying this, Nalan's pity for Zhou Xiong actually appeared in his eyes.

"You..." Zhou Xiong still wanted to refute, but what Princess Nalan said was indeed the real situation of his life, and he couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

"In order to protect his throne, the elder brother did not hesitate to kill his child with his own hands, so that the queen could not have her own children. Even Jiu'er and Shi'er around him worked hard to save it. But now Jiu'er's whereabouts are unknown, and Shi'er's life and death are unknown. Isn't the elder brother not sad at all? ?"

"I..."

Seeing that Zhou Xiong seemed to be moved by himself, Princess Nalan said, "In fact, this may not be the best ending for my brother and our Zhou family. This world is originally the Yan family. My elder brother has been in charge of the Yan family for so many years. Although the people are not rich, they are still carefree and worthy of the late Emperor Yan. Now that Yan Sa is ready to grow up, it is natural for his brother to return the world to the Yan family. I still remember that when I was a child, he always told me that you like the life of herding horses and herding sheep. Only when you can you ride on the boundless grassland and shoot the big eagles in the sky can you have the courage of a real hero.

When Nalan mentioned his childhood dream, Zhou Xiong fell into meditation. How many years ago did it happen? At that time, I couldn't be simpler. But when did you start to change slowly? His heart began to grow so big, until later, even if he sat in the whole world, he still felt that his heart was empty.

"If my brother wants to, when we find Jiu'er, our family of three will go out and live such a dull life. At that time, the elder brother will ride a horse and herd sheep, and the younger sister will cook and wash clothes for her brother and Jiu'er at home. The elder brother said, isn't it a good day like this? Nalan took a step forward and helped Zhou Xiong sit back on the bed.

The room fell into silence for a moment, and after a long time, there was an extremely heavy sigh. Lin Yi woke up from the silence.

"That's all, maybe as you said, many things have been decided for a long time! Now I can escape from the treachery of that palace, or it's really not a bad thing. But now my injury can't move, and Jiu'er doesn't know where to go..." Referring to his favorite son, Zhou Xiong's eyes are full of the most sincere feelings and deep worries for his father, mixed with a little hatred for the queen.

"Lin Yi is willing to serve the work of the ninth prince. The poison on the emperor's body also needs to be completely eradicated by changing the last two blood. As long as the burns on his body are carefully treated not to be infected, the wounds on his body can be healed in less than seven days. I will change the blood for you for the last time now. After the change, he started to inquire about the whereabouts of the ninth prince. The queen took the ninth prince, and Lin Yi was not sure whether the queen would poison the ninth prince. However, since Zhou Xiong could put down the country, Lin Yi must do his best to help find out the news anyway. It's just what Zhou Xiong said about Xuan Sa. Did she really lie to her?

"Then thank you!" Before Zhou Xiong opened his mouth, Nalan thanked him first.

It was noon on the second day after changing the last blood for Zhou Xiong, and there was only one and a half days left before Xuan Sa succeeded to the throne. Lin Yi could not rush back to the imperial capital immediately and participate in such a prosperous era.

In the past, the sphere of influence of the Gong family was mainly in Heyi City. Lin Yi naturally went to Heyi first to inquire about the ninth prince. After arranging Zhou Xiong and Nalan, Lin Yi disguised and went on the road.

In the small mountain village, Heyi City is not far away, and it is only two hours' walk.

Several times in and out of Heyi City Gate, Lin Yi has a different feeling.

The guards at the gate have changed the Murong family's soldiers. Although they still treat the people who come in and out, they are no longer domineering and cruel. Be polite to the people.

Entering the gate, Lin Yi found that many people in the city stood on both sides of the street and talked about it.

Lin Yi pulled a man and asked, "What happened in the city?"

"Today is the big day to copy the Gong family. Don't you know?" The man gave Lin a look and said.

"copy the Gong family?" Lin thought of Gong Zhenzhu and Murong Luo and didn't know if they were also in the team.

"Yes, Gong Youdao actually kidnapped the ninth prince to seize the throne. He couldn't help but burn the emperor alive and killed the tenth prince. It's so pitiful that the tenth prince was scared to death on the throne at a young age. What a pity!" The man thought that Lin Yi came from other places, so he explained seriously.

"Poor? A demon son deserves it. What a pity? You actually pity that demon. I don't think you are a good thing!" Someone in the crowd immediately scolded.

"Hey, make it clear who is not a good thing..."

"If Prince Yan hadn't arrived, the world would have changed long ago. Fortunately, now His Royal Highness has stabilized the situation in the court. If this is not the case, can you stand here and say sarcastic things by being ruled by the people of the Gong family through the little prince? Unexpectedly, it's a pity for the starter." The man immediately interrupted him and said viciously.

"I..." The man looked guilty and regretful, and looked at Lin Yi with resentment.

Seeing this, Lin Yi had to quietly leave the two people and followed the crowd waiting to see the people of the Gong family go to prison.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, I finally saw a large group of people coming from the end of the street with whining. In front of them were a small group of soldiers, followed by people in white pajamas chained, all pale, depressed and slow to move. Both sides of the team were surrounded by two teams of soldiers with big knives and tightly guarded with a serious expression.

I don't know who shouted in the crowd: "Kill them, kill them..."

Then the overwhelming vegetable leaf eggs were smashed on the Gong family. They were surrounded by everyone and could not dodge. They could only bury their heads in their chests, but even so, they still did not escape the angry people. Everyone was smashed with a lot of eggs, and several of their faces were cut by sharp egg shells, and suddenly there was bright red blood, mixed with stains, which was even more embarrassing.

Suddenly, a person in the Gong family's team screamed, "I'm not from the Gong family. I'm the second son of the Murong family. My father is a meritorious minister, not a criminal..."

A lancer next to him looked up and gritted his teeth and stared at him. Unexpectedly, it was Gong Zhenzhu. Her face was still a little arrogant, but after all, she did not have the original glory.

Instead, Murong Luo raised his foot and kicked the man and kicked him: "It's all your fault. If it weren't for you as a bitch, how could Murong Luo fall to this day... I'm the second son of the Murong family, the eldest soldier, tell my father for me and let him to save me..."

At this time, Lin Yi noticed that two drops of tears slipped silently on Gong's gray face.

The soldiers naturally knew Murong Luo, but Prince Murong did not order him to forgive him. Naturally, he did not dare to make a decision without authorization, and it was not easy to take action against him, so they had to tear his clothes and stuff it into his mouth. In addition, two soldiers were sent to set Murong Luo up, which barely restored the calm just now.

Although Murong Luo deserved it, Lin Yi felt that the whole Gong family was quite worthless because of the involvement of Gong Youdao and the queen, but it was like this in ancient times. On the one, it is to end future troubles, and on the other, it also has the intention of killing chickens and example monkeys, so that everyone can see the end of the rebels. Just as Lin Yi secretly regretted but was helpless, he saw that behind the Gong family's team was actually a team of women and children. Each of them was full of panic and fear. In the face of the vegetables and eggs smashed by the angry people, he could only turn his back to block in front of the child and block all those things on his back, as much as possible. Don't let the children get hurt.

Lin Yi was suddenly shocked. Will these young children also be convicted? I couldn't help but feel distressed. I jumped out of the crowd and spread my hands and shouted, "There are still children, please show mercy!" The people shouted loudly. In addition to looking at Lin Yi's behavior curiously nearby, they couldn't hear what she was saying or notice her at a distance.

Lin Yi was smashed with several eggs on his body, with wet egg liquid and eggshells on his hair, and his face was embarrassed. However, those people still don't realize their mistakes and do not hesitate to move their hands. At this moment, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel that when he first came to Heyi, the exile who died tragically in the hands of soldiers.

In such a dynasty, under such feudal rule, human life has always been grass mustard, and not many people will care about the life of a stranger. They would rather believe in ghosts and gods than help the people around them. Not to mention the sinner implicated, just like the man just now, he just showed a little pity and would be spurned by others. To change such an era, it will never be possible to change an emperor, nor can it do it overnight. Lin Yi suddenly had a sense of mission in his heart.

There is no figure of the ninth prince in the Gong family's team. Recall that the man just said that the Gong family kidnapped the ninth prince, that is to say, the ninth prince may not be in danger now, and since the Gong family has been raided, maybe the ninth prince is now in the hands of Xuan Sa. So will Xuan Sa let him go? Thinking of this, Lin Yi couldn't wait any longer and squeezed out the crowd and ran towards the gate.
