Three hundred and eighteenth chapter anger into anger
As soon as these words came out, people's expressions suddenly changed drastically. Although Xia Qianjie's words were unpleasant and even made them feel embarrassed as citizens of the Motie Kingdom, they had to admit that what Xia Qianjie said was a fact.
At the same time, a big question also appeared in people's minds. In other words, this is a question that many people have thought of for a long time, but some do not want to think about it deeply.
The Motie Kingdom and the Daqian Kingdom have always been on good terms, and there is no need to question this. So why did the envoy from the Daqian Kingdom suddenly assassinate His Majesty the King? What’s more, they conspired with the Yuelun Principality’s envoy to assassinate His Majesty?
Compared with the Motie Kingdom, the Yuelun Principality is very weak, and its territory borders the Motie Kingdom. It has always adhered to its duty over the years and has not dared to be an enemy of the Motie Kingdom.
So how do the people of the Yuelun Principality dare to assassinate His Majesty? They are not afraid of the army of the Motie Kingdom marching westward and breaking through the gate of the Yuelun Principality in one fell swoop?
These two things are undoubtedly very weird, and even give people a very ridiculous feeling...
"Not to mention the bravery of a good man in the past, the former Daqian Kingdom was very powerful, and his behavior was also very admirable. However, history is only history after all, and time will always corrupt everything." Yeluqi slightly sat on the high platform, His face gradually became gloomy, and he said in a cold voice: "At this moment, at that moment. How can you guarantee that the Daqian Kingdom at this time has no evil intentions towards our Motie Kingdom?"
"When I say these words, I don't mean to say how great or powerful our Daqian is. And what you said is right. At this time, that time. After the incident that happened thirteen years ago, our Daqian Kingdom is indeed It is much weaker, and with the anti-king faction inside, the country is weak..." Xia Qianjie said in a deep voice: "If you fall behind, you will be beaten, and if you are weak, you will be bullied. Your Motie Kingdom wants to take advantage of this situation. , there is nothing wrong with strengthening one’s body.”
At this point, Xia Qianjie's expression suddenly became extremely disdainful, and she sneered and said: "Haha, if you led the iron-blooded army and marched south like King Jie did, you might still be admired, at least a little bit. You have the guts to do what you do. However, you insist on slandering us for assassinating your Majesty and using this as a reason to send troops, which is really ridiculous!"
After hearing these words, Yelu Qilue's complexion suddenly changed and he said angrily: "You... I didn't expect that when you were dying, you didn't even know how to repent. Instead, you talked nonsense here. It's all nonsense!"
"That's nonsense? Well, let me ask you! This time, our delegation has a total of thirteen people. In addition to me, there are two civil servants and ten warrior guards. But among the thirteen of us, , there is not a single warrior who has reached the True Martial Realm or above! And among the seven members of the Yuelun Kingdom’s envoy, there is also no True Martial Realm warrior!”
"And your King, Chu Zhongtian, has already entered the realm of true martial arts. He is protected by two imperial guards who also have the realm of true martial arts. I dare to ask how we can assassinate you in this situation. Your Majesty the King? If we really want to assassinate your Majesty the King, why don’t we send experts here?”
As soon as this statement came out, it undoubtedly turned all the previous remarks of Yelu Qilue upside down. In fact, all the remarks made by the Motie Kingdom to the people were just an excuse to appease the people and could not withstand the situation. A lot of thinking.
"this..."
"What she said seems to make sense."
"If the Daqian Kingdom is really harboring evil intentions, why did it only send out Yin-Yang realm warriors but not the True Martial realm strongmen? What's more, I heard that the Daqian Kingdom seems to be really in civil strife. In this situation where it has too much time to take care of itself, How could they take the initiative to start a war at this juncture?"
The doubts on the faces of the people became more intense than before, and an idea that they didn't want to believe, but was extremely true, gradually came into their hearts!
That is, they were deceived... Their king deceived them, and the so-called attack on Yumen Pass was not at all a preemptive strike to resist foreign enemies. Everything was for naked aggression!
As for their relatives and heirs who have already set foot on the battlefield, or are about to step on the battlefield, the blood they shed is not to protect their families and country, but just to invade! And the objects of aggression are those they once had against them. The Kingdom of Dagan!
Almost at the same moment, there was a buzzing sound in the minds of all the people, which was like the collapse of heaven and earth. Under that kind of confusion and disbelief, they gradually became lost and at a loss, like lost lambs...
"How could things be like this..."
"If this is really the case, which side should we stand on? As people of the Motie Kingdom, they should naturally support the kingdom and obey the kingdom. But what if they know that the kingdom is wrong?"
Yelu Qili listened to Xia Qianjie's words and looked at the painful and confused expressions of the people in the execution ground, and his face suddenly became uglier than pig liver.
At first, he just wanted to say some impassioned and righteous words before executing Xia Qianjie, hoping to appease the people. He also wanted to let everyone see how the so-called arrogant people of the Daqian Kingdom faced death. How unbearable and weak he felt at the time.
But at this moment, he extremely regretted saying a few more words before, and also regretted letting Xia Qianjie say a few more words. Because he never expected that the seemingly fragile, rumored to be as proud as heaven. A noble woman can be so tough and unyielding!
He never thought that the woman who seemed to be only a teenager would be so calm and rational when facing death, and her every word and deed was full of wisdom!
The fine sand in the time hourglass is still flowing slowly, and the last bit has not been drained out. This means that there is still a little time before the prescribed beheading time.
But Yeluqilue had no patience at all. He stood up with a roar, smashed the hourglass to pieces, and shouted angrily at the executioner on the platform: "Execution! Execute me immediately!"
As soon as this statement came out, the people were in an uproar! Because Yelu Qilue's reaction was so ugly that almost anyone could see that this big shot with a high status in the Yelu family was already furious and couldn't wait to get it. Kill each other!
At the same time, this also means that what Xia Qianjie said is very likely to be true!
The crowd was in an uproar and commotion, and even the executioner, who was already extremely skilled at chopping people on the execution platform, hesitated for a moment.
"What are you shouting about? Would you rather believe in Daqian's assassins than in me? You don't want to believe in His Majesty the King's orders?" Yeluqilue shouted with an ugly look on his face: "Executioner, what are you waiting for? Execution!"
The two executioners seemed to have just woken up from a dream. They grasped the knives in their hands, and then slowly raised them high...
Xia Qianjie's expression remained calm, but this did not mean that she was not afraid of death, but that she knew she had to die as early as when she was locked up and heard that the Motie Kingdom was planning to attack Yumen Pass!
When she said those words before, she never thought that she could use those words to clear her name and escape death. She just wanted to save the last bit of Daqian's integrity and her identity before she died. The last trace of dignity of a great man.
In fact, if she really doesn't want to die, there are many ways to live... There are many whip marks on her body, she has been tortured several times, and the Desert Iron Kingdom's military wants to get away from her. Get some information, for example, how many famous generals there are in Daqian now, how many warriors there are in the Zhenwu Realm, how many troops are stationed at Yumen Pass, and whether there are still many trump cards hidden in the kingdom...
If she reveals a little bit of information, she can definitely save her life, and she will even receive a lot of preferential treatment. Even if she doesn't reveal the information, as long as she obediently agrees to act as a hostage when the battle at Yumen Pass begins, she can temporarily save her life. .
However, no matter whether it was torture or the execution of seven Daqian envoys in batches in the past few days, she could not be frightened. And her behavior from beginning to end was so arrogant and so arrogant. So tough!
Therefore, the Motie Kingdom could only execute her, and even before executing several other hostages who were not too important, they had to execute her first!
"I'm going to die. This is really good. I finally got through it." Xia Qianjie smiled softly and slowly closed her eyes. There was a hint of exhaustion and relief in her smile.
However, at the moment when the executioner was about to raise his knife, an unexpected person suddenly said something that no one had expected.
"Why bother? Why refuse to admit your crime at the last moment before death." Yuelun Kingdom's envoy Yan Cheng said: "Isn't it right, Lord Xia?"
As soon as he said this, the executioner obviously paused for a moment, because he vaguely felt that there was something hidden in the matter, and he couldn't help but look at Yeluqi with a hesitant expression.
Yeluqiliu narrowed his eyes, as if he suddenly figured out something, and said to the executioner with a chuckle: "Let him continue talking."
Yan Cheng turned his head to look at Xia Qianjie and said in a deep voice: "It is true that there are no Zhenwu realm warriors among your envoys. Logically speaking, there is indeed no possibility of assassinating His Majesty. However, the treasures presented have been poisoned. , that is a strange poison that is enough to threaten the strong men of the Zhenwu Realm! Isn’t this what we have agreed upon in advance to assassinate His Majesty the Motie Kingdom? We are all going to die now, so what’s the point of never admitting it again? ?”
"You..." Xia Qianjie's eyes widened. She had no idea that the special envoy would say such words before he died! And his words undoubtedly made the assassination of His Majesty the King a fiction. , has become a fact!
"Do you think they can spare your life even if this is the case?" Xia Qianjie asked in a cold voice.
She couldn't figure out why Yan Cheng did this. In her opinion, Yan Cheng, like her, was obviously wronged and sentenced to death!
Since he was about to die, why did Yan Cheng admit this matter? Suffering such injustice? Didn't he feel aggrieved?
