The visitor is Ao Sima, an old noble and powerful minister of the Chu Kingdom who is in his seventies. He is dressed in a thick and heavy dark red court uniform, which makes his skin wrinkled and dark, his head is pale and gray, and his eyes are white with small pupils, which makes him look strange.

When I look at such a pair of eyes, I feel that they are cruel, cruel and unkind.

It is true that the relationship comes from the heart. He has been strong and cold throughout his life, and he always pursues his goals by unscrupulous means. In the early years of the reign of King Chu You, he served as the commander-in-chief. At one time, the king was weak and the ministers were strong, and he firmly controlled the military and political power.

In the hands of the Ao family, they formed a powerful force. Later, Chu Cangyue's military ability became famous for a time. The two faced each other in the court for several years. In the end, they were caught for committing a big mistake and were sentenced to death.

He resigned and was demoted to Sima, reducing his military power and "half of his country".

As time passed, Chu Cangyue became the King of Chu Ling. After fighting for power for half his life, no matter how strong his body was, he could not withstand the abuse. Recently, it was even worse than before. Due to helplessness, he gradually retreated to the second line and secretly supported him.

There is a trend for younger generations of the family to go to the frontline "battlefield" to strive for glory again.

A few days ago, many people heard that the house was often crying and wailing at night, and they suspected that it was mourning. They speculated that Ao Sima was about to die. However, the rumor was self-destructed the next day, and he was found to have been ill for several days.

Ao Sima actually came to court in high spirits.

Weird!

His brand-new appearance is really astonishing. Doctors had come in and out of the house countless times not long ago, but now he looks as calm as ever. Could it be that he secretly took a magical elixir without telling everyone to live longer?

Already?

"Ao Sima."

The two of them quickly gathered their thoughts and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, with low eyebrows and a submissive look.

Although Aosima has not made any achievements in the court in recent years, his prestige in the country over the years cannot be underestimated.

Ao Sima's rigid and dark face was as sharp as a blade, not angry but powerful. He stared at the two people for a long time, and while the other party was waiting tremblingly, he opened his mouth and said: "Were the two of you just talking about... Qi State?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he unconsciously frowned with a forbearing look on his face.

This old and rough voice coming out of "his" mouth was really suffocating.

The two people looked at each other quickly and thought to themselves, what does Ao Sima mean by asking?

One of them was a little bolder. He laughed dryly, swallowed quietly, and was the first to answer. He asked cautiously: "It's just a private chat. It made Sima laugh. Sima looks completely new today. Is it really true?"

He is in good spirits..." He couldn't find Ao Sima's attitude, so he could only talk about it randomly to change the topic.

But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted.

"Now the Six Nations Alliance has fallen apart, and the border war is coming to an end. However, although the Six Nations have failed this time, our Chu State has also suffered heavy losses in this battle. You are not doing good things after the war, but you are complacent here. Really

You are short-sighted and don’t know what to say!” Ao Sima stared at the two of them sternly and scolded them.

The two of them were so frightened that they were trembling with cold sweat. They quickly bowed and said, "Yes, we are being arrogant."

Although I don’t know how they offended Ao Sima by discussing the national situation in private, it is still good to admit their mistakes.

Seeing that the two of them were frightened to death by him, Ao Sima Fang softened his expression and said: "Since I realized my mistake, I went back to my hometown and handed over to Sima a book containing details of the successes and defeats of the Six Kingdoms and my Chu Kingdom."

If there is anything unclear about the government, I will take the punishment myself from the Secretary!"

The two of them were shocked: "But, we are not generals fighting outside, so it is difficult to report in detail the transactions during this battle!"

"If you don't understand, why don't you ask? If you don't know, you can inquire privately on your own. This will also help you remember how difficult it was for the Chu State to be able to stand where it is today!"

These two people are officials under the civil service. They are used to arguing with the private people in the tavern on weekdays. Although they are not people who have made great achievements, they still have some connections. He has just come back to life, and he is already confused about current affairs and the political situation.

, especially when he heard someone mentioning Qi State, he was inexplicably concerned and wanted to know more news about it.

But if he wanted to know something, it was difficult for him to tell the people around him to do it with his current identity. Although he had borrowed a corpse to bring back the soul, the memory he inherited from the original owner was incomplete. He was worried that the secret would be revealed accidentally, so he could only turn around

Let others do it in a roundabout way.

And these two people... well, I can only say that it was a coincidence, and he had an idea just after he saw these two people.

"Here, here."

The two of them had no choice but to agree, with sad and unhappy expressions on their faces. Seeing that Ao Sima had no other instructions, they politely excused themselves and left.

After watching the two people leave, Ao Sima, who had always been regarded as unfazed by the collapse of Mount Tai, dropped his posture and let out a long sigh.

"Want to die..."

System: Warning: If a character commits suicide or actively seeks death, he will be severely punished.

Chen Baiqi said with a wooden expression: Haha, become a dying old man, there is no need to seek death, sooner or later the pill will be taken.

She couldn't help but looked up to the sky and sighed again. After walking a few steps, she felt tired, her left leg was aching due to old rheumatism after standing for a long time, and her waist was stiff and not straight.

She lowered her eyes and looked at the stretched out hands. They had protruding blood vessels, yellowish nails, loose skin and full of wrinkles. They were the vicissitudes of an old man's hands.

She burst into tears. Is it possible that she will have to drag this old body to fight on the front line of the political power in the future? This is too fucking inspiring, right?

No, I can't think about it anymore. The more I think about it, the more desperate I become.

She was dejected and had just walked a few steps when she noticed that someone seemed to be walking in front of her. She subconsciously raised her head and saw double eaves flying in the distance. She saw thousands of green willows hanging down from the embankment in the wind. Several people were walking in an orderly manner from the grass.

As they walked forward, the most eye-catching person was the person walking at the front.

The corridor is outstanding, with clouds spreading all around, and the sky clear and blue, giving an unobstructed view. He is wearing a thin summer spring robe, the river breeze is blowing, shining brightly, the waves are calm, his skin as white as jade is better than ice and snow, and his eyebrows are clear

Cool, but there is a red cinnabar on the forehead, which is bright and cold, but there is always a lingering sadness between the eyebrows. His sleeves are lightly raised, sending the breeze to lift him, seeming to hint at all the emotions that he cannot express.

…

This person... Chen Baiqi couldn't help but look at it for a longer time. From Ao Sima's memory, she recognized that this person was the one he had always wanted to kill - the King of Chu.

But unlike Ao Sima, who was deeply disgusted with the King of Chu and had a bit of fear that even he himself was unwilling to admit, Chen Baiqi stared at him for a long time, and some indescribable feelings arose in his heart.

This discomfort is not simply due to Ao Sima's influence on the house of hatred and witches, or the surprise of his appearance, but more complicated. Even she herself does not know the emotions she will have towards a stranger...

She patted her chest to stop herself from thinking too much.

Soon, the group of people approached. Except for the King of Chu, he was followed by several ministers and generals. They met her on the same road and saw her. They couldn't avoid it. According to her current situation.

I have no choice but to bite the bullet and step forward.

"Lord."

As she spoke, the harmonious spring atmosphere around her suddenly fell to freezing point. It is conceivable that the boundary between the enemy and ourselves was clearly defined.

"Ao Sima, I heard that you haven't been feeling well lately. If that's the case, why don't you stay in bed to recuperate and cherish the remaining years?" The clear and cold voice was like ice and snow flowing through the heart, leaving a chill in people.

The voice sounds really nice, but... the content of the words makes people panic.

Sure enough, the relationship between these two people is that they are smiling on the face, but being crazy on the inside.

She really didn't expect to see her immediate boss so soon. The system asked her to assist a wise lord to dominate the Warring States Period, and also told her that due to the trauma to her mental and soul bodies, she had lost most of her memory and even became a human being.

I feel dull and numb, so I try my best to endure it first, and wait until my mental and soul bodies are gradually repaired, and then I can slowly plan on the main task.

This was her original plan, but things went against her expectations. Before she could figure out how to turn the situation around, she had to face difficulties and friction from her superiors.

"minister……"

Just as she was about to speak, she felt an inexplicable dangerous aura approaching from behind. She subconsciously avoided it, but she didn't want Lao Han's legs to hinder her flexibility. She twisted her instep and fell onto Chu Cangyue, just in time.

A bronze arrow quenched with green juice passed through her left atrium.

She looked at Chu Cangyue and his cronies who were surprised and stunned, and a mouthful of old blood spurted out.

"You..." Chu Cangyue looked at her strangely and confused, wanting to say something, but faced with such an old face that was vomiting blood and turned green, she didn't know what to say.

I said I didn’t want to save you, do you believe me?

This is really a disaster from heaven, I was hit by an arrow even while I was lying down.

"Catch the assassin! Go and catch the assassin!"

The others immediately rushed to catch the assassin. Many guards rushed out of the corridor and surrounded the corridor. The assassin who secretly sniped at him had no chance.

"How is Ao Sima?" someone asked in a reluctant tone.

I only heard Chu Cangyue say: "He was hit by an arrow in his chest. The arrow was poisonous. Do you think he can still survive?"

He would definitely not survive. Chen Baiqi accepted his words with grief and anger.

She had only lived for a few days before she was about to die again. This was already the 17th time she had died since she woke up from her chaotic consciousness! She felt like she was about to die like a textbook!

Before she died, she seemed to hear Chu Cangyue saying to her: "Although you brought it upon yourself, Gu Nian promised that because you were willing to die, you will bear the serious crime of arranging assassins to assassinate the prince alone, and you will not be implicated."

Your Ao family, you...just go."

puff--

Hearing this, Chen Baiqi couldn't help but stand up and spit out another mouthful of blood.

She said how this assassin managed to hide himself from all the palace guards and was so bold that he ran into the Chu Palace to assassinate the King of Chu. It was all arranged by Old Man Ao in advance.

She said why was he so stubborn, why did he want to support him when he was about to die? When he was about to die, he died, and the enemy did not kill him, but only killed an innocent person like her!

Judging from Chu Cangyue's tone, people have known about this for a long time. The reason why they kept it secret was that they were waiting to collect the evidence and finally uproot the entire Ao family without leaving any room.

If she hadn't made a mistake this time and risked her life to offset it, I'm afraid the Ao family would no longer exist in the Chu country.
