Chapter 391 Sending a Signal
Chapter 391 Sending a Signal
The unpleasant incident during their first meeting was soon reported back to Dongli.
In the court, the emperor was furious when he saw the letter sent back, and thought that the third prince was a waste.
He is only good at talking and has humiliated the Goddess Nanxu before the fight even starts.
Is he a fool?
Don’t you know how high the status of the goddess is in Nanxu?
It’s no wonder that the young General Xi didn’t let him go. If it were him, the Third Prince would probably have died too.
But the other party asked for three cities right away, which was really not worth it.
The Dongli country is not small, and its area is even larger, with a total of forty-nine cities of various sizes.
The capital is in the middle, and there are exactly thirty cities.
Now that Nanxu has captured four cities in one fell swoop, Emperor Dongli is not afraid because they are still far away from the palace where he lives.
After thinking about it, he asked the eunuch to deliver the letter in his hand to the ministers in the court for them to see.
Among them was naturally the third prince’s grandfather, who was so panicked after seeing the contents of the letter that he immediately knelt on the ground.
[Your Majesty, you must save the Third Prince. He is the eldest son of you and the Queen, and he is of pure blood.]
[Your Majesty, the Third Prince is the child who looks most like you. If something happens to him while he is away, how will you let the Queen live?]
[Yes, yes, the Third Prince has always been wise and brave, and he was probably caught by the other party because he was not paying attention.]
[Although ten cities are many, there is room for discussion. ]
After listening to the following words, Emperor Dongli's face darkened. This was the first time he felt a change in the court.
Is it so obvious that the noble families support the Third Prince? They don't care about him as the Emperor at all.
Emperor Dongli clenched his hands tightly under his sleeves and said with a cold face, "What? Do you have any good suggestions? Should we send troops to fight directly or exchange for cities?"
Hearing the dissatisfaction in his tone, everyone lowered their heads and tried not to cause trouble.
Finally, it was the Third Prince's grandfather who said tremblingly, "You can fight but you can't replace him. The Third Prince also cares about the people and will definitely understand the Emperor's decision."
This is like kicking the ball back, which can be considered as a superficial surrender.
The air was quiet for a long time, and Emperor Dongli looked at the third prince's grandfather and smiled.
"In that case, you are the one who should talk. I am waiting for your good news in the palace."
Everyone:! ! !
Good, good, the emperor is not hiding anything now. He really despises the queen’s family.
The Third Prince’s Grandfather:!!!
He was crying in his heart. He didn't expect that at his age, he would be thrown out by the emperor to do hard labor.
But thinking about what my daughter said, I just have to wait a little longer.
When the time is right, they will kill the emperor and let the third prince sit on the throne. Then Dongli will belong to their family.
He bowed slightly and said, "Yes, I will try my best."
When Xia Yining rushed back, he saw that all the people in Dongli were hung on the city gate of the fourth city.
The most conspicuous one hanging in the middle is the third prince, looking so pitiful.
Seeing her coming back, Xi Zhiyi put away the bow and arrow in his hand and said with a smile: "Want to play? It's fun.
I haven't killed him yet because I'm waiting for you to come back."
Starting from hanging the man up, Xi Zhiyi and Chi Yan began to practice archery.
The arrow was always accurate, either landing on the Third Prince's head or flying under his crotch, frightening him so much that he thought he was going to have no children and grandchildren, and he almost peed his pants out of fear.
When he saw the person coming, he stopped himself from saying the curse words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Not for anyone else, just that one glimpse was enough to move his heart.
He didn't expect the legendary goddess to be so beautiful. Her appearance and figure made him feel itchy.
I just want to hold him in my arms as soon as possible and savor his taste.
He had no idea that he was in danger and was hung on the city wall. His eyes were full of lust.
Sensing the sticky gaze keenly, Xia Yining looked over with indifferent eyes and pulled the bow and arrow easily.
The corner of his lips curled up slightly, and as soon as his hand loosened, it hit one of the third prince's eyes.
A sharp cry of pain suddenly rang out from the gate of the fourth city. He felt a strong pain in his left eye and went blind.
A disabled person cannot inherit the throne. At this moment, he felt extremely cruel.
The boiling hot blood splashed onto the faces of Zhi Linglan and Zhi Guci, making them look at the distance with fear in their hearts.
I think Xia Yining is a lunatic. The way she fights is different from others, she just challenges others.
She really kills. She will kill those who she doesn't like or those who make her angry. She will not show mercy to her enemies.
Nowadays, the people from Dongli are hung up and tortured in various ways, causing serious mental damage to them.
The cruel treatment of the Third Prince made the two women sober up.
At least understand one thing: if you want to stay alive, don't anger Xia Yining, and don't say bad things about her.
Seeing the big bloody hole in the Third Prince's eye, the arrow seemed to have life. It only blinded the eye but did not pierce the Third Prince's head directly.
This was why he felt even more pain. His hands were hung on the city gate and would shake from time to time, and this slight movement would increase his pain.
The wailing sounds continued, and everyone who heard it could not help but tremble in pain; the sound was too tragic.
Even the Third Prince's eyes had become much clearer. There was no longer any lustful look in them. Instead, there was only hatred.
Xia Yining raised his eyebrows slightly, and shot another arrow, which directly pinned the man on the city wall, still on the left side like before.
Whoosh~~~
Whoosh~~~
Whoosh~~~
After shooting several arrows in succession, the Third Prince was no longer floating, but was firmly fixed like a tattered doll.
Now he didn't even have the strength to lift his head. It hurt so much, so much.
Every part of his body was in pain, especially the arrows on his shoulders and legs, which made him feel like he was living a life worse than death.
The third prince was so frightened that he regretted it and was afraid.
If he had known earlier, he would not have come to the border and would not have said those unnecessary words. In this way, he could still be a prince in the capital.
After my father dies, I will directly take the throne.
Now he has nothing, and thinking about it makes him go crazy.
Xia Yining did not put down the arrow in his hand, but shot three arrows at Princess Dongli Zhi Linglan.
Just like the third prince beside him, he felt extremely painful in a short period of time.
Next came the Dongli Saint Lady Zhi Guci, who was also not spared. As for how long the people on the city wall could survive, it depended on their luck.
Or, see if Dongli is sincere enough.
Feeling the overwhelming hostility and ruthless methods coming from her, this is a signal.
She didn't want to wait any longer and wanted to completely break up with Dongli.
The soldiers behind him all understood this, and instead of being afraid, they were all very excited.
This is an opportunity to start a family and build a career, and to gain credit by following the eldest princess.
