Beside the blazing bonfire, he was playing with a gold-inlaid scimitar in his hand. Half of his face was illuminated by the firelight, and the other half was hidden in the boundless darkness. It was hard to tell what he was thinking.
Yuan Bin's life was of no importance to Ye Xian. He had killed many people, Ming people, Mongols, and even Jurchens, with countless blood on his hands.
A mere lieutenant in Jinyi, even if he is the person in front of the Emperor of Heaven, he will kill him.
What made him stop and not speak was the attitude of the Ming Emperor in front of him.
It seems that he cares about Yuan Bin very much...
Under the moonlight, the scimitar in Ye Xian's hand shone with a cold light, and he spoke softly, saying.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, I think Xi Ning is right. You and Wala have always been on good terms. If there weren't some provocations around you, why wouldn't you agree to the marriage proposal?"
After saying that, he also glanced at Xi Ning before continuing.
"What is this called in your Ming Dynasty...
"Qingjun side?"
Seeing that the grand master was moved by his words, Xi Ning immediately smiled and said repeatedly.
"The great master is wise, and he is on the side of the Qing emperor. There are slanderous ministers around the emperor who are causing trouble. It is an act of a loyal minister to eradicate these treacherous ministers."
Ye Xian also laughed, but against the blazing fire and the cold light of the blade, not only did people not feel the warmth, but it actually made Zhu Qizhen feel chilly.
At this time, Xi Ning took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, you don't have to be like this. As long as you agree to the marriage, you and the Grand Master will be a family from now on, and everything will be easy to discuss."
These words clearly have an allusion...
Zhu Qizhen frowned and looked at Yuan Bin, who was leaning on him, with a trace of struggle flashing in his eyes.
However, before he could make a decision, Yuan Bin, who was supported by him, struggled to get up and said.
"Your Majesty... don't worry about Nian Chen... all the people in the world... are waiting for the Emperor to return to Beijing... ah!"
Before he finished speaking, Yuan Bin screamed, and veins on his head were pulsing.
Zhu Qizhen followed the sound and saw Xi Ning stepping on Yuan Bin's hand, and the sound of the joints shifting could be heard clearly.
With a sneer, Xi Ning said: "Grand Master, you have seen that even now, Yuan Bin is still talking nonsense. If we don't kill him, he will continue to stir up trouble around the emperor."
Zhu Qizhen closed his eyes, his face full of pain.
However, Yuan Bin suddenly opened his eyes, spat a mouthful of blood foam on Xi Ning's body, and said viciously.
"You eunuch, if you have the ability, kill me!"
After that, he struggled to stand up, but he was already injured. After struggling several times, he fell to the ground and found it difficult to get up.
Despite this, Yuan Bin still stared at Xi Ning, as if he wanted to bite off a piece of flesh from him.
He also stood aside and watched with cold eyes, neither stopping Xi Ning nor ordering anyone to do anything to Yuan Bin.
He is waiting!
Waiting for the emperor of Ming Dynasty to make a decision...
Finally, Zhu Qizhen opened his eyes, with a trace of deep sadness flashing in his eyes, and said: "Master, I have already said about the marriage. If I can return to the capital, we will discuss this matter."
Ye Xian's face turned cold, and he put the scimitar in his hand into the sheath, with a touch of regret in his tone.
"It's such a pity. Since His Majesty the Emperor has already decided, then, Timur, send the Emperor back to rest. It's better that the Emperor doesn't want to see the next scene."
Ye Xian's eyes looked back and forth on Yuan Bin's body, and he seemed to be slightly excited. After he finished speaking, Boyan Timur stepped forward and wanted to pull Zhu Qizhen up.
However, before Boyan Timur could reach him, he saw a cold light flashing under the moonlight.
"Master, be careful!"
Boyan Timur immediately turned around and stood in front of Ye Xian.
But then, he realized that he had been worrying too much. Zhu Qizhen was holding a small dagger in his hand, not pointing at Ye Xian, but against his neck.
Seeing this situation, Boyan Timur was shocked and said:
"Your Majesty, what do you want to do?"
Zhu Qizhen was breathing heavily, and the hand holding the dagger was trembling. Despite this, he still held on and said.
"Let Yuan Bin go, otherwise, you will wait to collect the body for the emperor of Ming Dynasty, and wait for Ming Dynasty to use all the strength of the country to attack Oara!"
He frowned first and glanced dissatisfied at Xi Ning next to him.
It's all this bastard's bad idea!
He just wanted to test the Ming Emperor's bottom line, but he didn't really want to do anything to him.
Not to mention how many good things can be squeezed out of Ming Dynasty by holding this great emperor in your hands.
He couldn't bear the thought of the Emperor of Heaven dying in Wala alone.
He is arrogant at first, but he is not stupid!
He just wanted to obtain greater benefits within the possible scope, but he did not really want to form a deadly feud with Ming Dynasty.
Seeing that Zhu Qizhen was serious, Ye Xian's attitude softened and he bowed.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing? You are the great emperor that Wala worships. I am obliged to obey your orders. This attendant made a mistake. I just want to deal with it for you. Since you want to deal with it yourself,
Then you should obey it first."
After that, he waved his hand first and said.
"Someone, please send His Majesty the Emperor and this Yuan Bin back to the tent together."
Zhu Qizhen breathed a sigh of relief, but still did not put down the knife in his hand, and continued: "Also, treat his injuries."
Now that things have reached this point, I don't mind continuing to stabilize Zhu Qizhen. Anyway, he is just a follower.
He bowed again first and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Boyan Timur will follow your instructions and take care of everything."
Having said that, Ye Xian seemed to be afraid of staying any longer, which irritated the Ming Emperor. He bowed and prepared to leave.
However, before he could turn around and take a step, two messengers ran from a distance and delivered a military report to his hands.
He frowned at first, feeling a bad feeling rising in his heart.
You know, the military information sent at this time must be very urgent.
So regardless of the presence of so many people, he raised his hand and opened the military newspaper.
After quickly scanning the contents of the military report, Ye Xian's face suddenly darkened.
He stopped about to leave, turned his gaze back to Zhu Qizhen, and said expressionlessly.
"His Majesty the Emperor, no, I should call you now, His Majesty the Supreme Emperor!"
"Just now news came from the Ming Dynasty that your mother, the Empress Dowager of the Ming Dynasty, has issued an edict to make your son the prince and your brother King Tan the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty."
"They also said that they would not accept any form of conditions and asked me to send you back immediately."
With a "cang" sound, the dagger in Zhu Qizhen's hand fell on the gravel ground, making a crisp sound.
He felt dizzy, his vision went dark, and he fell straight to the ground...
Seeing this situation, Ye Xian's expression changed for a while, and he finally gave the order.
"Timur, please send him back first, and Yuan Bin. Treat his injuries well and don't let them make any mistakes. After settling down, come to my tent."
As he said that, he looked at the dark night in the south and said softly.
"Since Daming has such an attitude, our original plan has to change..."
