Ji Yunkai froze, looking at the sword thrust into the pillar, frozen in place and motionless.
She, she was really scared!
Just now, if Xiao Jiuan's hand had been moved even an inch, or if she had been tilted half an inch, her head would have been split in two.
This was the second time, the second time I felt actual murderous intent from Xiao Jiuan.
Last time, she knew it was because she wanted to run away and touched Xiao Jiuan's reverse scale, and Xiao Jiuan wanted to kill her, but what about this time?
Ji Yunkai touched the blood marks on her face, and the thick blood calmed her down. Ji Yunkai took a deep breath, suppressed the fear in her heart, turned around, and looked at Xiao Jiu'an calmly: "Your Majesty, why?
"
Why did he want to kill her again? She thought that she and Xiao Jiuan could at least live in peace for a while.
"Of course you deserve to die!" Xiao Jiuan looked at Ji Yunkai with only cold murderous intent in his eyes.
The Ji family, the Yun family, the Ji family, the Yun family are so bold, they dare to interfere with his Yanbei army, they are simply looking for death.
"What did I do?" She didn't even follow Feng Qi, but persuaded Feng Qi and Fei Xiaochai to leave first. Why did Xiao Jiu'an want her life?
Xiao Jiuan did not answer Ji Yunkai's words, but asked with a dark face: "How much is the value of the things that the Yun family gives you every year?"
"The things that the Yun family gave me? Are you talking about the things that the Yun family gave to the future queen? There should be hundreds of thousands of taels every year. I don't know the details. Those things cannot fall into my hands." Ji Yunkai
Faintly aware that something was wrong, he answered cautiously and left no trace behind.
In fact, there is no need to skimp, she herself is very clean, and she didn't see anything given by the Yun family. In the end, it was because of Ji Xin that she took tens of thousands of taels of silver from Mrs. Ji.
"The Yun family sends hundreds of thousands of taels of things to the Ji family every year, and even prepares a million-dollar dowry for you. Where is all that money?" The Yun family is rich, to an outrageous level, and everyone in the world knows this.
I know. Therefore, when they saw that the Yun family sent things to the Ji family by boatload every year on the pretext of sending things to Ji Yunkai, no one suspected it, including him.
But little did they know that the things sent by the Yun family were not used on Ji Yunkai, or even on the Ji family, but were all used on the heads of his Yanbei King's army.
Of course, the Yun family did not help him raise an army, but used a large amount of money to bribe the generals of the Yanbei King's army.
There is no one who does not love money, especially the soldiers who live in difficult military camps all year round and may die at any time. Faced with the corruption of money from the Yun family, many generals of the Yanbei army fell into trouble.
He said, how could his uncle be able to bribe so many people and provoke a rebellion? It turned out that the Yun family's money was behind him.
Ji Yunkai is not stupid. If Xiao Jiuan can't guess what Xiao Jiuan said, she will be hopelessly stupid.
"Your Majesty, I don't understand what you are talking about. I have never had contact with anyone from the Yun family. I only live my own life in the Ji family. If your lord doesn't believe it, you can go check it out." So, regardless of the Yun family, the Ji family does it.
She didn't know what it was, so she asked not to be implicated.
"Check? What do you want me to check?" Xiao Jiu'an stood up and approached Ji Yunkai step by step with huge pressure.
Ji Yunkai's face turned pale, and she wanted to retreat uncontrollably, but she knew she couldn't retreat at this time, and retreating would mean she felt guilty.
"Your Majesty, I really don't know anything." Ji Yunkai stood in front of Xiao Jiu'an under tremendous pressure without giving in.
"You are innocent if you don't know? Don't you think it's too late to let go of the relationship at this time?" Xiao Jiu'an was a head taller than Ji Yunkai and looked at her condescendingly, as if she were looking at an ant.
The cold blood from the man's body hit his face, and Ji Yunkai almost knelt down with his legs weak for a moment: "I'm just telling the truth, I was in the Ji family and the Yun family...ah..."
Xiao Jiuan grabbed Ji Yun's neck and lifted him up.
"Let it go, let it go, let it go!" Ji Yunkai couldn't breathe, and his face turned red instantly. He slapped and kicked Xiao Jiu'an hard, but it was in vain. Xiao Jiuan didn't take her strength into consideration at all.
"Let go? In your name, the Yun family sends hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to the capital every year to buy my king's troops, causing heavy casualties to my Yanbei army. How do you want me to let go?"
Xiao Jiuan's eyes were cold, and there was no trace of human emotion in his light-colored eyes. At this moment, he was like a demon, like a god of death.
"I don't know, I..." Ji Yunkai shook her head desperately, trying to explain, but the air became thinner and thinner, her consciousness gradually became unclear, and she could not speak complete words.
"Ji Yunkai, not knowing is not a reason. My king's Yanbei army suffered heavy casualties due to the Ji Mansion and the Yun Mansion. The king will settle this account with the Ji family and the Yun family."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Jiuan flicked his hand and threw Ji Yunkai out. Ji Yunkai instinctively hugged his head, but he didn't even have the strength to be shocked.
"Bang..." Ji Yunkai hit the wall and fell down, lying softly on the ground, unable to move.
I'm so unlucky!
After finally risking his life to get a chance, he was tricked by the Ji family and the Yun family again.
Mrs. Ji and Ji Lan came to visit, probably to inquire about information or to make her take the blame.
A tear slipped from the corner of Ji Yunkai's eye. Filled with unwillingness and resentment, Ji Yunkai closed his eyes and fainted.
Xiao Jiuan glanced coldly, without a trace of reluctance, turned around and walked out...
In a teahouse in the west of the city, Xiao Shiqing, who was completely wrapped up, was sitting on a big chair in the study, with his back to his men.
"My lord, Marquis Guangping committed suicide. Before his death, he blamed everything on the emperor. The prince has no doubts." The man in black knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice.
"Well, protect the eldest master and Marquis Guangping's family. I don't want them to get into trouble again or be caught by Xiao Jiuan." The master in black, Xiao Shiqing, played with a jade pendant and spoke slowly, with the same voice as before.
It's so low that you can't distinguish between male and female.
"I obey," the man in black responded, his voice full of anger.
There is no master who is a subordinate and does not like to care for his subordinates and is willing to protect his family, even if the man in black has no family.
"May I know the whereabouts of Mr. Feng Qi?" Xiao Shiqing said when he mentioned Feng Qi, his hand holding the jade pendant paused, and his voice was different from usual.
"No, according to my subordinate's guess, Young Master Feng Qi should have returned to the Valley of Heavenly Medicine." The man in black knew very well that his master cared about Young Master Feng Qi, and had not thought of Feng Qi's whereabouts. Naturally, the man in black had insufficient confidence.
"Let's do it." Without Feng Qi's whereabouts, Xiao Shiqing felt a little depressed.
The man in black quickly retreated, not daring to stay for even half a second.
Xiao Shiqing continued to grasp the jade pendant in his hand. After a moment, he suddenly stood up and flicked the jade pendant upwards: "Feng Qi, when will you remember me?"
"Pop!" The jade pendant landed firmly in the box on the desk. Through the refracted sunlight, the word "phoenix" on it could be clearly seen.
That's right, this is Ji Yunkai's lost phoenix pendant... (To be continued)
