Chapter 725 Throne
This was the greatest humiliation to Xie Zhiwei's reputation. It was the first time Xie Zhiwei encountered such a thing, and she was immediately furious, but soon, she calmed down.
Xiao Xun jumped up and was about to make a move, but was stopped by Xie Zhiwei. She took two steps forward, and said with a sneer, "Then it will be really hard for Master Hong, your father has been gambling all his life, and the Yiwuhou Mansion was so poor that he couldn't get rid of it. Lingtang set his mind on me, trying to curry favor with my mother is nothing more than seeking my huge dowry. Lingtang was right in thinking."
"When I left the court, the Xie family prepared ten miles of red makeup for me. It was just for the sake of the world. The dowry from my husband's family, and the subsidies from the Yuan family, the Cui family and my grandfather are not counted. Fortunately, Lingtang It’s not a holiday, otherwise I’m afraid I’m going to hate him to death!”
Hong Yanxuan's face became more and more ugly, and before he could speak, Xie Zhiwei sneered again, "The majestic Hou's mansion actually wants to discuss the marriage with the idea of ??beating the girls' dowries. It's too late for me to cover up this kind of thing. And put it on the bright side, Hall Master Hong, you just want to ruin my reputation in front of my husband and make me lose face."
"But, have you ever thought about it? The Xie family has a long history of hairpins. I am the eldest daughter of the Xie family. The Cui family is my maternal grandfather's family. My grandfather and maternal grandfather have always loved me. Naturally, I will not treat me badly when I leave the court. I have a high status, a good character, and a good reputation in Beijing, there are countless people who covet me in the world, and there are not many Hallmaster Hong alone."
"My fair lady, a gentleman is so good, what's wrong with me? Not to mention my husband knows me very well, what do I have to be afraid of?"
"Trying to use this method to hurt me will only show that you, Master Hong, are despicable and shameless. It is not God's will that the Yiwuhou Mansion has come to this day, but it is your own fault!"
"Xie Zhiwei, shut up!"
Hong Yan was furious, and rushed towards Xie Zhiwei, Xiao Xun pulled Xie Zhiwei behind him, Li Jun wanted to make a move, but Xiao Xun stopped him, "Leave him to me, and I will reap his life myself!"
"Hahaha, none of you can survive, you are all going to die!"
Hong Yanzheng seemed to be crazy, the last bit of reason was stimulated by Xie Zhiwei's words, his blood was soaring, his hair stood up, and holding a long sword in his hand, he stretched his neck horizontally, "You guys I can’t even survive, I want all of you to be buried with me!”
He looked at Xie Zhiwei and the others, and seeing that there was no tension or fear in everyone's eyes, they just looked at him with pity for a madman, and he froze for a moment.
At this moment, a member of the White Lotus Sect stumbled forward, "Master, please tell me, all the gunpowder has been poured out with water, and it won't ignite!"
Hong Yanzheng was stunned, "How is it possible?"
He looked at Xiao Xun, saw that Xiao Xun was not afraid at all, understood, and said angrily, "It's you, isn't it, Xiao Xun, is it you?"
If Xiao Xun didn't die, why did he have to die? He died, let Xiao Xun and his wife enjoy the world? Hong Yanxuan couldn't do it, the hatred in his heart didn't allow him to do it.
He took out an edict from his arms, "Let me go, I'll give this to you!"
Xiao Xun's eyes narrowed into a line, he didn't want to argue with the lunatic, but he was curious, "What do I want this for?"
"This is the succession edict left by your father. Are you the son of Emperor Zhaoyang? This is the succession edict left by your father!"
When Liu Xingjun heard this, he became anxious and took two steps forward. Hong Yanzhen took down the sword across his neck and pointed it at the imperial edict, "Don't come here, you all are not allowed to come here!"
Liu Xingjun stopped in a hurry, and looked at Xiao Xun beggingly, "Your Highness!"
Although he didn't say anything, the implication was very obvious, that is, he hoped that Xiao Xun would get this edict.
Xiao Xun glanced at Liu Xingjun indifferently, and said nonchalantly, "What do I want this order to pass on the throne? The throne is mine, and it will be mine in the end. I don't need anyone to designate me as emperor. If I become emperor , that is chosen by God, no one needs approval, what I want is the approval of the common people in the world!"
Xiao Xun's voice was careless, as if the throne was not a big deal, but when he said it eloquently, it aroused a sense of pride in his heart for no reason, and he was also impressed by this prince who cared about the people!
Xie Zhiwei took a step forward, held Xiao Xun's hand, and squeezed it lightly. She couldn't help but think of her previous life, where there was no will.
She originally thought it was because Xiao Xun didn't know about the will, but now she found out that he never took the will to heart.
"My lord!" Liu Xingjun bowed deeply towards Xiao Xun. If it is said that in the past, Liu Xingjun followed Xiao Xun partly because of Xiao Xun's martial arts and partly because of Emperor Zhaoyang, then at this moment, he is deeply attached to Xiao Xun's heart. Fascinated by the pattern, I would like to follow it all my life!
Xiao Xun turned Xie Zhiwei around, and he shot Hong Yanxuan in the head.
All the people in Jinmeilou were taken away. Xiao Xun and Xie Zhiwei stood in the tunnel, looking at the tunnel as high as one person, facing the underside of Jinmeilou, where gunpowder was piled high, water was poured in, The gunpowder was all soaked.
Coming out of the tunnel, Xiao Xun looked at Liu Xingjun with a smile that was not a smile, and asked, "Why? Have you gained knowledge? This tunnel was not built in a day, and this king is curious. Under the eyes of you people, Hong How did Yan Xie do it?"
Xiao Xun said unhurriedly, "Or, are you also thinking about **** me?"
Liu Xingjun knelt down with a puff. He was fifty years old, crying like a child, "Your Highness, how dare I do this? Not to mention anything else, my son is still in His Highness's hands. Your Highness, I have neglected my duty, and I am willing to accept it." be punished!"
"What's the use of punishing you? Liu Xingjun, I don't have time to spend here. I leave this matter to you. You are not allowed to slip through the net, and you are not allowed to wrong an innocent person. After a month, you will be here for real." The government sees the king, the king needs to know who is involved in it?"
The next day, Xiao Xun and Xie Zhiwei rushed to Zhending Mansion, one person and one horse. After Liu Xingjun sent the two of them outside the city, when he turned around, his face was as cold as the king of Hades. He grinned and showed his white teeth , gloomy, like a Rakshasa urging his life, "I want to see, who is so desperate, who dares to confront me, dares to play the master under my nose?"
At the beginning of May, just before the Dragon Boat Festival, Xiao Xun and Xie Zhiwei entered the gate of Zhending Mansion. The last twilight of sunset gradually dissipated from the sky, and the whole city looked quiet and serene.
The sound of horseshoes rattling in the empty alley, Xie Zhiwei looked at the people beside him, feeling peaceful in his heart.
Everyone's life, whether walking in the open fields, dangerous jungles or noisy cities, the road under their feet must be walked alone.
However, it is different to have someone by your side, whose heart and eyes are on you all the time.
