Chapter 169 I Know You Can't Let Me Die
The appearance of Xuanyuan Che brought Zhu Jiu back to his senses briefly. He couldn't help but look at him and looked away from Emperor Yan and the eldest princess, feeling extremely complicated in his heart.
She stroked Xuanyuan Che's antidote pill, slowly passed him by, took a deep breath, and smiled coldly: "Xuanyuan Che, when I was ordered to destroy the Xuanyuan royal family, you didn't hate me, but instead led the army.
Attack the city just to save me?"
"How stupid."
The last two words seemed to be her best evaluation of Xuanyuan Che.
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Che lowered his eyes. He also saw the dead Emperor Yan on the dragon throne. The faint king he once wanted to kill in his dreams was finally dead.
But he didn't feel happy at all.
What's the point of everyone rising and falling in hatred? He is tired. He just wants to be by Zhu Jiu's side. He wants to follow her for the rest of his life.
"Stop making trouble, detoxify first, otherwise it will be too late."
His hands were trembling with fear, and his voice was a little panicky, but he still stubbornly handed the elixir to Zhu Jiu.
The dark phoenix eyes stared at her closely, as if if she didn't eat it, he would personally put the elixir into her mouth the next second.
At this moment, Luo Zheng hurriedly stepped into the palace and said with a surprised expression: "Your Majesty! The Yan Kingdom has been destroyed, and we have completely captured the imperial city! Your Majesty, please..."
Suddenly, he shut up.
Looking at the two people in the hall, his eyelids twitched, and he couldn't help but take a step back with a guilty conscience, thinking to himself: Oops, why does he seem to have come at the wrong time?
Looking at His Majesty and Zhu Jiu like this, are they still at odds with each other?
It shouldn't be. Your Majesty has been lurking beside Zhu Jiu for so long. Is it possible that the conflicts and misunderstandings between the two have not been resolved?
Just when Luo Zheng coughed and was about to leave, he saw that Xuanyuan Che ignored his presence and actually picked up the remaining bottle of poisonous wine on the ground. Holding the antidote pill in one hand, he said seriously to Zhu Jiu: "Jiujiu, since
If you don’t want to take the antidote and live, then I once promised you that you will live in the same quilt and die in the same acupuncture point, and now I will honor it to you!"
Although the wine glass she threw away was empty of wine, there was still a lot of poisonous wine in the jug.
Seeing Xuanyuan Che lift the wine bottle and really put it into his mouth without any hesitation, Zhu Jiu finally felt a flash of panic in his heart, and the coldness on his face gradually broke through. He hurried forward to grab the wine bottle and scolded him angrily.
: "You don't want your life!"
madman!
Unexpectedly, Xuanyuan Che was on guard and took a step back. Before Zhu Jiu could throw away the wine bottle, he took the lead and approached her when she spoke, and quickly put the elixir into her mouth with his long white fingertips.
Zhu Jiu's eyes widened and he looked at him in disbelief, his eyes showing the sullen anger after being teased.
Xuanyuan Che was not afraid at all. His lips were curved slyly, and his deep and handsome appearance resembled that of a fox. He raised his chin and said, "I know you are reluctant to let me die."
"..."
Zhu Jiu was silent for a while, and the only sound in the air was the clicking sound of her fists. Finally, she simply turned around and left, her back looking stubborn and aggrieved.
When she passed by Luo Zheng, she paused, took a deep breath, suppressed her emotions, and asked, "How is the situation outside?"
Luo Zheng touched his nose and hurriedly lowered his head when His Majesty looked towards him. He respectfully replied: "General, don't worry, we have not harmed the people, nor have we harmed the Yan soldiers. They are all being held as prisoners in the warehouse in the west of the city.
.”
The warehouse in the west of the city was originally used to store grain, but due to the large number of borers in the court, the grain had been transported away in advance, leaving only some hay. The vacant space was used to house these rioters.
Hearing this, Zhu Jiu subconsciously wanted to take a look at Xuanyuan Che behind her, but she didn't expect that this guy had already followed her. Without noticing, her head happened to be placed on his chest.
At this moment, Zhu Jiu really realized that this little kid had grown up and became a man, but she still treated him as a teenager.
Thinking of the scene where he deliberately used poisoned wine to trick her into taking antidote pills, Zhu Jiu frowned even more.
"I guess you didn't break your promise."
After saying that, she turned and left.
Luo Zheng on the side listened in confusion and was a little confused.
He looked at Xuanyuan Che: "Your Majesty, what do General Zhu mean?"
Did His Majesty promise her something?
Thinking of her reaction just now, Xuanyuan Che couldn't help but lower his eyes and smile, then glanced at him lightly: "Why are you asking so many questions? Find Rongruo and Li Chunyue to resettle the refugees."
"Besides, all those prisoners are being detained and don't move for the time being."
The prisoners here are soldiers of the Yan State.
However, the Yan and Xuanyuan countries have had a long-standing grudge. If they are left alone, I am afraid that these people will soon establish themselves as kings and make a comeback.
Luo Zheng also realized the seriousness of the matter and did not dare to stay any longer. He quickly went to several lieutenants to issue orders, and then went to ask Li Chunyue and Rongruo to order them to deal with the matter with His Majesty's oral instructions.
After Luo Zheng left, Xuanyuan Che also took off the silver helmet on his head and went to the military camp to handle chores.
He always didn't like to be sloppy in doing things, but he always hesitated when it came to Zhu Jiu. Now that he talked openly with her, it actually brought the two of them closer.
It doesn't matter, as long as he quickly handles the affairs of Yan State, he can take Zhu Jiu back to Xuanyuan State as soon as possible.
When the time comes, there will naturally be more opportunities for them to get along.
Zhu Jiu didn't know that Xuanyuan Che had silently planned to keep her by his side. After coming out of the palace, she quickly rushed to report to Zhu Tai'an that she was safe.
She was relieved after learning that Zhu Qin had taken the lead in evacuating with the Zhu family army and was safe.
As for her encounter in Tai Chi Hall, Zhu Jiu simply said a few words, which did not worry Zhu Tai'an.
But Zhu Tai'an knew that this child always reported good things but not bad things. From the understatement she spoke, he knew that the situation in Tai Chi Hall at that time must be extremely dangerous.
Fortunately, Zhu Jiu came back safely, so he followed her wishes and didn't go into details further.
Instead, he went to the west of the city with her, and Zhu Jiu announced to everyone the news of the country's subjugation.
Everyone originally thought that with Zhu Jiu, the goddess of war, returning, they would have the strength to fight Xuanyuan Kingdom.
Only when they saw Xuanyuan Che leading the fierce and powerful Xuanyuan army to attack the city tonight did they realize that they were overthinking it.
Xuanyuan's army was all fat and in vain, but the soldiers of Yan State were so thin because of the moths in the court. Their weapons were not even as sophisticated as theirs, so how could they win?
These soldiers are also human beings and have their own families. The common people also feel sorry for their sons, husbands, relatives and friends who died in vain after going to the battlefield.
The situation of being captured now is actually in line with their wishes.
I don’t know what Xuanyuan Che said when he asked his lieutenants to capture these people and soldiers, so that the words Zhu Jiu prepared to appease everyone were completely useless at this moment, and even a bit redundant!
