Chapter Sixteen: When it comes to saving people, I am a layman (3)

"Come here, bring those things." Qin Yi touched his palm, and a group of Qin soldiers wearing black armor and dark clothes entered the martial arts field one by one from the east gate of the northern suburbs. They escorted dozens of people wearing prison uniforms.

The prisoners, whose hands and feet were shackled, were all covered with dirt and bloodstains, and their faces were frightened and pale. The sword of death hung above their heads, and they did not know when they would fall.

Seeing this situation, the princes, princes and ministers of Yin State turned their faces away in disgust, and gathered together in twos and threes to talk.

"They are really embarrassed."

"Just animals."

"I don't know what Changling Lord is going to do. I made a divination today, and it says that it is not suitable to see blood."

"Seeing blood is nothing. If any of these slaves and captives can get out of here alive, it will be considered lucky."

"Pitiful."

You think these people are showing compassion for innocent lives, but in fact they are just heartless spectators.

Qin Yi looked around, taking in everyone's expressions, and sneered, "These people were once princes and nobles of the Zhou Kingdom, but now they have become low-level captives that we can play around with at will. They are even lower than slaves."

The existence of the world, please tell me, isn’t this the happiest thing in the world?”

Ji Ranyue, the prince of Zhou Kingdom, glanced around and found many familiar faces after careful identification.

It turns out that after the Zhou kings were defeated, the Yin army was able to return the large troops to the country so quickly because the Qin army was doing the finishing work and failed to be the first to lead the army to attack the royal city. With Qin Yi

His character must have been extremely unwilling at that time, and could only vent his anger elsewhere, so he ordered the Qin army to search the entire kingdom inch by inch, searching for the Zhou nobles who were fleeing for their lives.

However, the real grand dukes and nobles of the Zhou Kingdom should have followed Ji Ciyue and fled long ago. The ones Qin Yi was searching for were probably just marginalized small nobles.

Life and death are determined by fate, what does it have to do with her?

But Ji Ranyue's calm eyes were finally broken when she glanced at the last thin prisoner.

Mingxiao? How could she be captured by the Qin army?!

According to her previous arrangements, Mingxiao should now go south safely with Ji Ciyue!

Ji Ranyue's fingertips clasped the rim of the tea cup tightly, and she did not let go until her knuckles turned blue and white.

Qin Yi met Ji Ranyue's dull eyes across a distance of dozens of people. The two looked at each other from a distance, and he twitched the corners of his lips. There was no concealed malice in his eyes like eagles.

Ji Ran was the first to look away. She used the barrier of the table to pull the cuffs of Ying Zheng who was sitting next to her under the table.

Ying Zheng turned his body sideways.

Under the cover of her sleeves, her fingers quickly wrote a line of words on his palm.

Ying Zheng pursed his lips and gave her a reassuring look.

"Xiaotian, can the Ruying Sui card be designated for one person to use?"

"Card characters bound to the host can be used, but characters in this world cannot be used. What does the host want to do? Is something finally going to happen?" The electronic sound of the system can actually hear a hint of excitement, and it turns out that he is just watching the excitement.

Big deal.

Making trouble? Oh, she just wanted to give Qin Yi a gift that she would never forget! By the way, she wanted to provoke the "friendly alliance" between Qin and Yin.

When everyone heard that these prisoners were actually Zhou aristocrats, everyone became interested.

"Excellent! In the past, the Zhou Kingdom prided itself on being orthodox, but was arrogant and rude when seeing me, and despised our origins. Now that the situation has changed, I wonder what kind of fun trick Lord Changling has prepared for us?"

"That's right, Lord Changling, don't be too pretentious. All of you hope to return home happily today!"

"It's very simple. It's just for the soldiers who are performing martial arts to warm up!" Qin Yi stroked his hand again, and the soldiers took out the imperial feathers from their waists and fixed them on each prisoner's forehead with straps.

Immediately afterwards, he explained the rules to everyone.

The martial arts field was very large. A distance of more than a hundred feet was circled. The prisoners were untied, and they were driven to run around with whips. The soldiers were ordered to shoot them with arrows from a hundred meters away. The one who hit the most feathers would be rewarded with a thousand dollars.

Two, and you can get a token. If you use this token to see Lord Changling, you can get a promise.

"Are any conditions acceptable?" As soon as this reward came out, everyone's breathing became heavier.

They heard that Lord Changling had 100,000 households in the Qin State, and that the fiefdom was the richest in the entire Qin State. They were not greedy. If they could divide it into a few thousand households... those days would be very, very beautiful.

Great!

Everyone's attention was focused on the prisoners who were huddled together on the martial arts stage. They ordered their servants to bring their bows and arrows. One by one, they were sharpening their swords to "pig and sheep". Because of this, no one paid attention to the main stand.

, one person is already missing.

"Mr. Changling, everyone is ready, why don't we start now!"

Many people had already bent their bows and arrows, aiming at the slaves on the martial arts stage at any time.

The blade of death is approaching the throats of the prisoners. The archery skills of these nobles are not accurate. When the time comes, arrows will be fired at random, and they will definitely die!

"No, I don't want to die... Please, let me go! Let me go..." The prisoners knelt down one after another, kowtowing to the ground desperately.

"Spare you? What's the use of begging me? Look up and see who is sitting in the center of the high platform. Why don't you beg the noble eldest princess? The princess is kind-hearted and soft-hearted. Maybe she is willing to protect you.

What are you waiting for?" The prisoners had already developed subconscious fear and obedience to Qin Yi's words. They stopped kowtowing and looked towards the high platform one after another.

"Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess... She is truly Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess!"

"Are we saved?"

"Your Highness, please save us, we are all subjects of Zhou Kingdom!"

But soon, those eyes full of hope and longing were replaced by resentment, hatred and doubt.

"We are all subjects of the Zhou Kingdom. Why can she be safe and sound and sit firmly on the high platform, while we have become the most humble slaves?"

"Could it be that Her Royal Highness the Princess really colluded with the Yin State, which is why our Zhou State was destroyed so quickly? Is she a traitor?"

"If it weren't for her being such a troublemaker and seducing so many men, how could the Zhou Kingdom be conquered by the coalition forces?"

"She is the sinner of Zhou Kingdom!"

The prisoners struggled forward, as if they wanted to rush to the high platform and kill the sinner who had brought harm to the entire Zhou Kingdom!

Very good, Qin Yi turned out to be playing this game with her. Did he think he could hurt her just by doing this? It's ridiculous!

"Beep, beep...warning, warning, the host's popularity value has dropped by 500 points..., and its reputation value has dropped by 500 points..., because the value has dropped too fast, the system will delay the broadcast."

"Warning, warning, if the reputation value and public support value drop to the critical value, the system will forcefully execute the erasure process!"

"Hey, the temporary mission is triggered: rescue the prisoners of Zhou Dynasty. The current mission progress is (0/27). Mission completion reward: 3 card draws, 1000 reputation value, and 1000 popular support value. Please host to work hard to save your image!"

To be honest, without this mission, she still had to save people. Mingxiao was still among those prisoners. No matter what, she had to at least save Mingxiao.

Luo Xiange seemed to want to speak up and say something to Ji Ranyue, but he was stopped by Luo Juege, "If you don't want her to be convinced that the spy has spoken, you should remain silent now."

Ji Ranyue didn't need any help from them at this time, her eyes were still calm and composed.

The fine jade tea cup was thrown casually by the woman under the high platform, making a crisp sound, and everyone's attention was transferred to her.

Her eyes were as calm as a deep pool, making it impossible to see a trace of the waves in her heart.

Under such gazes, the prisoners on the martial arts stage gradually became silent as they cursed and cursed. They didn't dare to stare at her anymore. I don't know why, just looking at her like this, it was as if they had glimpsed something more powerful than death.

A terrifying existence.

"Are you done? Now it's my turn to say -"

"Why, Your Royal Highness the Princess, do you want to stop us from playing tricks on your 'people'?" Qin Yi deliberately emphasized the word "people", and his raised tone seemed particularly sarcastic.

Everyone laughed.

She is an empty princess who has even lost her country. What can she do to stop this game between the rich and powerful?

Saving her people? She might not even be able to save herself!

If the princess of a subjugated country, who has conquered the entire country, does not seek the protection of the powerful men of other countries, what awaits her will be endless trampling and humiliation!

"Oh, the situation is getting smaller, Lord Changling." Ji Ranyue chuckled, "I also think this game is very interesting."

"So -" The ends of her raised eyes were full of charming arcs, and the young minister on the left turned red when she looked at her, "Can you lend me a bow and a set of arrows?"

Tool."

"Of course... of course."

Ji Ranyue nocked an arrow, drew the bow to half full, and pointed it at Qin Yi, "I am not here to stop this game, but to join in. I wonder what Lord Changling thinks?"

As soon as these words came out, the system alarm in Ji Ranyue's mind turned the deepest red.

She frowned, the alarm sound really bothered her.

"If you keep arguing, just kill me. Whoever wants to do this ghost mission will do it!"

The destiny system was as quiet as a chicken in an instant.

"Oh, is it possible that Her Royal Highness, Princess Grow, wants to participate in this game herself? But with Her Majesty's appearance, I'm afraid she can't even pull a bow?"

Haha, everyone burst into laughter again.

With her thin arms and legs, it’s no wonder she can draw a bow!

At this moment, Ji Ranyue's bowstring bent into a full moon in an instant. Before anyone could react, a sharp arrow shot through the air, directly grazed Qin Yi's cheek, and penetrated deeply.

Among the piles behind him!

"Ah, Lord Changling, your face..." One person exclaimed, and he saw a very shallow blood mark on the left side of Qin Yi's face.

"Oh, I'm really sorry. I haven't used a bow and arrow for a long time, and my hands are a little rusty. Lord Changling won't care about a frail little girl like me, right?" Ji Ranyue put down her long bow, tilted her head, and smiled innocently.

Good.

Qin Yi raised his hand to wipe away the blood stains, his face remained as usual, but when he spoke again, anyone could hear the gnashing of teeth in it, "Of course not, I just hope that your highness can still smile like this later."

Brilliant and innocent!"

"Then I accept Lord Changling's auspicious words." The smile on Ji Ranyue's lips gradually deepened, as if she didn't understand the threat in Qin Yi's words at all.

After seeing this part of the play, everyone realized belatedly that the scene prepared by Lord Changling was for Princess Zhou.
Chapter completed!
