155. Bandit Emperor (1) (1/2)
This time the world is still an imaginary novel.
It tells the story of how the male protagonist Ji Xiaying endured it for decades and finally destroyed her country at the cost of her life.
Ji Xiaying, who was smart when she was a child, was deliberately spoiled by her stepmother when she was a teenager. As a playboy, she remained ignorant until she was thirty years old. Her sister was tortured to death, her nephew was also beaten to death with random sticks, and her children were poisoned by her stepmother.
Just before Ji Xiaying woke up, he and his wife's three sons died in "accidents". Finally, when the last little daughter died, Ji Xiaying learned the truth. There was no accident at all. All three sons and one daughter were accidents. Died at the hands of her stepmother.
The wife could not accept the death of her daughter and committed suicide.
He held his daughter's still warm body and asked his father to make the decision, but received no response at all. From that day on, Ji Xiaying lay dormant, like a poisonous snake, killing his father and stepmother one by one, and finally colluded with the enemy country, destroying the family that gave birth to him. his country.
Before his death, he had many wishes, but the strongest one was to protect his sister and wife.
***
Wei Mingyan was at a time when Ji Xiaying was still a playboy, currently just 15 years old.
The country that was destroyed at the end of this novel was a chaotic country, Jin.
The current situation can be simply summarized as follows: the emperor is fatuous, there are countless corrupt officials, and the country is about to end.
The Jin State was located in the Central Plains, and the kings of the past dynasties worked hard to become the largest country that all nations came to worship. However, it took two hundred years to defend a country, but only ten years to destroy it.
The last Mingjun passed away, leaving only Du Miao. Du Miao had been the crown prince for thirty years. He was probably exhausted and happily started his own career as a faint king.
During his ten years in office, he perfectly accomplished the following: removing loyal ministers, favoring corrupt officials, filling the harem, increasing taxes, and other necessary skills for a faint king.
The people of the country are struggling to make a living, and he still wants to order the construction of a palace in order to please the beauty he likes. What should he do if the treasury has no money? He has to ask the people for it.
The Jin Kingdom happened to be at war with the frontier grasslands again. Foreigners were watching with eager eyes. The generals who were loyal to protect the country were killing the enemies in the front line. They were clearly at the upper hand. The emperor did not provide food and grass, and the soldiers were hungry, so how could they fight.
The battle was lost because of the emperor's delay. Countless soldiers and horses were lost. The general, who was covered in scars, was so angry that he vomited blood. Before he could recover, the emperor summoned him back to the court and dismissed the general on the grounds that he had lost the battle. job.
The general was led by the late emperor. He had long been gray-haired. He was furious because he had lost the battle because he had no food and grass. When he heard the emperor's order from the emperor who was devoted to protecting him, he couldn't even breathe. He was so angry that he couldn't stand it. Go to the main hall.
Under normal circumstances, the emperor would feel guilty when he saw that his loyal general was dead. However, when he returned to the palace, his concubine told him that people outside were calling him a coward because of the death of his majesty. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he immediately imprisoned all the family members of the General's Mansion.
The general had only one daughter in his life. When his daughter got married, only his wife and his ninety-year-old mother were left in the family.
After the two were taken out of the house, they committed suicide by hitting a pillar in front of the people watching the excitement.
The loyal general's family fell into this fate. Corrupt officials were elated, and conscientious officials resigned one after another. The emperor was not allowed to resign. He thought it was a slap in his face, so those who said they wanted to resign would have their homes confiscated!
The only general who could compete with the enemy was dead, and the other capable men were squeezed out by the officials' sons. What was once a force of tigers and wolves has now become unable to defeat even a rabbit.
This amazing magical operation deeply moved the enemy country, and they did not hesitate to use their troops to counterattack.
An army of 100,000 was defeated by 30,000, and only 50,000 were left.
Now the emperor panicked. He didn't want to provide food and grass, or pay the army. In order to protect himself, he had to fight a war and recruit troops immediately.
No matter you are seventy or ten years old, no matter if you have only one strong worker in your family, you must respond to the imperial court, otherwise you will be resisting the decree!
The court gave nothing, and if someone was asked to go, they would die. Who wanted to go, but if they didn't go, they would be beheaded. So, more and more people began to flee their homes to avoid conscription.
The emperor has been in power for ten years now and has raised troops for seven years.
He turned out to be one of the deserters during the draft in the second year.
His father died early, leaving only his mother and one sister. He was the only male in the family. After getting the news, he teamed up with other people in the village to escape.
In the past six years, at first, the original person was hiding in the mountains. Later, he got bold and robbed passing merchants. With two money, he started to trade as a bandit.
He is not a serious bandit. The serious bandit is on the hill next door. To be precise, he should be a thug.
The troubled times did not affect the business of the gambling house very much. On the contrary, it became more prosperous because the rich did not lose their money and the common people were forced to have no other way out. He was also considered a small minion. When someone in the gambling house made trouble or someone was in debt, he would go up and beat him up.
The reason why he appeared in this ruined temple this time was because he took a good job.
I took the money and came to this ruined temple to defile a girl.
When the original man came, he saw the comatose girl who was tightly tied up and quite beautiful. He had sex with her without thinking. During the process, the girl woke up and struggled and cried, but he didn't care. When the pleasure was over, he pulled out. Leave.
This girl is the person Wei Mingyan wants to protect this time, Ji Xiaying's biological sister.
The girl's name is Ji Xiawan, the eldest daughter of the governor of Miaozhou. She should be loved and pampered, but she was kidnapped and sent to a bandit to be defiled.
Ji Xiawan is eighteen years old this year. Before she was eleven, she was still an innocent little girl. Seven years ago, after her grandfather, the general who was angered to death by the emperor, died, the general's mansion was raided. Her mother cried all day long. Less than a month later, she was found to have committed suicide on the beam.
Less than half a month after her mother was buried, her father welcomed back the new wife. Originally, such an act should have been criticized, but no one dared to say a word. Her father's friends and colleagues all happily attended the wedding banquet.
The reason is very simple. The new wife is from the family of the most favored concubine of the dynasty. Everyone knows that their family is in a high position and power because of the emperor's favor. Since then, the wife of the Ji family has become Ji Xiawan's stepmother. No one has mentioned Ji Xiawan's mother, who is gentle and virtuous, manages housework, and gave birth to a son and a daughter for her husband.
Before the general passed away, he had arranged a marriage for Ji Xiawan. The marriage was arranged by the son of the then weak King Liang. The two families exchanged tokens and agreed to marry Ji Xiawan when she was sixteen years old.
This marriage was originally planned by King Liang with great difficulty, but before he could be happy for long, the general fell. What use was there for his granddaughter? Maybe the emperor would hate her, which would be a burden to them, wouldn't it?
King Liang just hinted at Ji's father a few times, and the man who once smiled and carried Ji Xiawan to the lantern market watched Ji Xiawan being sent to the countryside by her stepmother to mourn for her mother.
Ji Xiawan had just lost her mother and was sent to a completely unfamiliar place. The younger sister brought by her stepmother married her instead.
The two families tacitly did not mention that it was Ji Xiawan who was engaged at the beginning, and Ji's father did not care at all that the position of the Crown Prince's Consort was not held by his own daughter. His fatherly love seemed to be transferred, and he was like a good father to the stepdaughter who was brought here.
Ji Xiawan is eighteen years old. In Jin, if a daughter of a rich family is not engaged at this age, she is either sick or has no one to marry her. The stepmother did not want people to say that she treated her stepdaughter harshly, so she asked someone to bring Ji Xiawan back.
Unexpectedly, even after staying in the countryside for so many years, Ji Xiawan's appearance has become more and more outstanding. She is like a lotus emerging from the water, graceful and elegant. Because of her mother's teaching, her manners and etiquette are not bad at all.
Seeing such an outstanding daughter, Ji's father's mind became active again.
At the beginning, the stepdaughter Ji Xiating replaced Ji Xiawan to marry, but it has been two years, and she has not even laid an egg. Seeing that the prince married two concubines, whose families are no worse than theirs, and they have children first, how can Ji's father be determined to be the grandfather of the little prince.
He is now counting on Ji Xiating to help him blow the pillow wind with the prince, and it is not easy to blame her for not having a baby. Now that he sees that his own daughter looks so outstanding, he immediately has a crooked mind.
The younger daughter can't give birth, isn't there still the older daughter?
The prince likes beauties the most. With her looks, she will definitely be favored when she goes to the mansion. When she gives birth to a child, she will give it to the little daughter who is the prince's consort. Isn't it perfect?
When Ji's father told the new wife about this idea, the new wife smiled and said yes, and turned around to attack Ji Xiawan.
Although she is a woman, she claims to understand men very well. Ji Xiawan's looks are most pleasing to men. If she is really sent to the prince and favored, how could Ji Xiawan not bear a grudge for how she treated Ji Xiawan at the beginning?
Originally, she wanted to find a poor scholar to marry him, but now it seems that it is not possible. The new wife openly invited Ji Xiawan to worship Buddha together, and stayed in the temple that night. No matter how vigilant Ji Xiawan was, she was still drugged and thrown into this broken temple.
The new wife could have directly poisoned Ji Xiawan with medicine, but she didn't do it. She just wanted to make this stepdaughter lose her reputation and be despised by everyone.
She did succeed. The next day, the new wife pretended to be panicked and looked for Ji Xiawan everywhere. Finally, she found her stepdaughter in this dilapidated temple. She was disheveled and obviously defiled.
Ji's father was furious. He did not look for the thief, but hinted to his daughter that since she was no longer innocent, she should commit suicide. The new wife stopped him and put Ji Xiawan under house arrest in a small courtyard at home.
The matter of giving her to the prince was naturally settled.
Ji Xiawan did not dare to die. Her younger brother was still under the control of her stepmother. Her younger brother was not as smart as he was when he was a child. He had forgotten all the books he had learned. He was cowardly and useless. However, he was still close to her and wanted to save her.
How could Ji Xiawan be willing to die in such a place where her brother knew nothing? She secretly asked her brother to come over and taught him knowledge, etiquette and how to behave in the world by lighting an oil lamp every night. Fortunately, although Ji Xiaying didn't want to learn this, she still cared about her sister and forced herself to learn it. The knowledge she secretly learned in this small courtyard was also the reason why he could fight back after losing all his relatives in the future.
The most terrible thing happened. Ji Xiawan's belly gradually grew bigger. At first, she hated the child in her belly, but no matter how she struggled, the child didn't fall off. In the end, she gave birth to a boy.
Ji Xiawan lived with this child in the small courtyard. Perhaps it was because of her mother's natural beauty. Giving birth to a child and being wasted did not reduce her beauty. Instead, she became more charming with age.
This became the last straw of her miserable life.
In order to gain wealth, Ji's father forced her to serve those high-ranking officials.
Ji Xiawan naturally refused, but that night, a drunken guest was introduced to the small courtyard that almost no one visited.
That night, her screams and cries were so loud that no one from the whole house came to save her.
Ji Xiaying was sent out by her father to inspect Zhuangzi that night, and she had no idea what her sister was going through in the mansion.
The five-year-old child heard her mother's cry for help and wanted to save her, which ruined the guest's mood. She was held down and beaten by the guest's guards. The next day, Ji Xiawan opened the door with scars all over her body and saw Xiao Xiao in despair. The body of the child.
When Ji Xiaying came back, his father told him that his nephew had passed away due to serious illness. Ji Xiawan couldn't think about it and committed suicide with white silk.
He wanted to see his sister for the last time, but the coffin was quickly sealed. Because Ji Xiawan gave birth to a child out of wedlock and could not enter the ancestral grave, he just found a hilltop to hide in, without even a tablet.
These are the truths discovered by the forty-year-old Ji Xiaying.
That night he strangled his stepmother and father, who were already full of hair, with his own hands. Ji Xiaying destroyed the family, killed all his enemies, and even destroyed this rotten and dirty country. He would sit on the dragon throne and shelter the new wife. Diela was stuck in the mud.
But even so, his sister, his nephew, his wife, and children can't come back.
[This world mission is to protect Ji Xiawan and Chi Qingqing. The current mission level is: 0. Please complete it as soon as possible. 】
Wei Mingyan reviewed the plot and slowly closed the book.
He took a photo of the man in the river who had a beard all over his face and looked like he was in his fifties rather than in his twenties.
The book doesn't say anything about the fate of the original owner, but the world automatically makes up for it.
After he defiled Ji Xiawan, he got some silver and returned to the village. Only when he returned did he find out that in order to get enough money for him to travel, his sister married into a scholar's family in a neighboring village. The children had to go to the ground to wash their own diapers. In just one year, what little bit of beauty they had had was wasted.
Although the country is in chaos and everyone is in danger, the scholar still insists on rushing for the exam. The scholar needs too much silver to rush for the exam. The evil mother-in-law has no money and simply sells her own granddaughter. The sister desperately wants to protect her daughter and is finally imprisoned. In the woodshed, he watched helplessly as the man who did not look like a girl from a good family was taking away his five-year-old daughter.
Being sold to a place like that, you have to learn to serve tea, water, wash clothes and cook when you are a child. When you grow up, you have to be a waitress.
When the original owner went back, he spent a lot of money, and his mother cried and begged him to redeem his niece. After all, his sister had married into that family just to raise money for him to travel.
The money was enough, but the original owner didn't agree. He just made an excuse that he didn't have that much money, but the news that he went to the streets to drink every day, and even went to flower houses to find girls, spread to the village.
His mother did not expect that the son she had waited so painstakingly for six years would be so cruel, almost blinding her eyes with tears. Her sister also did not expect that her brother, who she really loved, would be like this. She was determined to find her daughter, which annoyed her. The mother-in-law and husband directly gave her a divorce letter.
When the original body returned home and saw that her sister had been divorced, she bluntly stated that she would not support her. In the end, this woman who had lived a miserable life had no way to go. She had always believed that her brother would come back to help her and her heart was completely broken.
She was a woman, and in an era like this, a woman who had nowhere to go was worse off than dead, so she died, jumped into the river, and was never seen again.
The old mother cried her eyes out and went to the town to gamble. She stayed there for four days before going back. When she returned, her body was already cold.
Within a few years, the original person was beaten to death because of debts.
After Wei Mingyan read it, he had to say something sincerely.
A good death!
Then, he held the knife with difficulty, facing the clear river, and shaved off the hard and messy beard on his face.
The original owner was a bandit and a thug. In order to maintain his dignity, he had never shaved for five years. From one temple to the other, there was a full circle.
The lower half of his face was almost covered by a beard, and it was impossible to see his exact appearance. Coupled with his greasy and dusty hair, and his tattered clothes that smelled of alcohol and sweat, he was worse than a modern beggar.
Wei Mingyan shaved for a long time before getting rid of the disgusting beard on his face. Although the exposed face was dark and dirty, judging from the facial features, he looked pretty good.
He took the knife stained with his beard and rinsed it in the water. The country was in constant turmoil, but it could survive for so long not only because of its good foundation, but also because of its large number of people.
One wave of deaths followed another, almost using human lives to continue the national line. By the time the country was completely conquered a few decades later, the population of the originally largest country would have long been depleted.
He pulled it a bit and felt that he might not be able to do it with his mouth alone.
A bird flew slowly across the sky. Wei Mingyan raised his head and picked up a pebble from the ground with a wet knife.
He shook his wrist and threw it at the bird.
"grumble--"
The bird that was flying leisurely only had time to cry out before it fell heavily to the ground, twitched its claws and stopped moving.
The bandit in tattered clothes walked over and picked up the bird.
It's okay, no hands.
***
Ji Xiawan was shrinking into a ball, enduring the pain all over her body and considering a countermeasure.
She absolutely cannot stay here all the time.
Otherwise, tomorrow morning, when her stepmother finds out that she is not in the room, everything will be over.
She was in the temple before going to bed, why is she here now, why is there a strange man doing something indecent to her, why does that man say that they were all drugged.
Ji Xiawan dared not think deeply about any of these questions.
If it is really her stepmother, then what she will experience next is easy to guess.
She gritted her teeth and hid herself in the corner more hard. It was already light outside, and they would find that she was missing in less than half an hour.
At that time, what would happen to her without her innocence, and what would happen to her father who once doted on her but is now indifferent.
If she really fell, what would happen to her brother.
He didn't understand anything, and thought that his stepmother was a good person, and that she was doting on him by indulging him in not studying. He had lost his former intelligence, and every day he knew how to go out and play with birds with others. He was the dandy boy she once despised the most.
But even such a brother would use his own savings to buy her a hairpin. Seeing that she was dressed plainly, he was afraid that she would have no money, so he secretly gave her money. Even if he didn't like reading, he would still memorize the books obediently as long as she said a word.
He was so stupid, so dumb, and easy to be fooled. It's okay now that he is young, but what should he do when he grows up.
Thinking of his brother smilingly saying that he would memorize the homework she assigned before leaving, and recite it to her when she came back, Ji Xiawan couldn't help but shed tears.
When Wei Mingyan came in, the dilapidated temple was empty at a glance. He looked around and came to the broken table.
There, a girl was curled up.
Seeing him, she looked at him with hatred. Although Wei Mingyan didn't look as scary as before after shaving, when she was sure that he was the one who ruined her innocence before, Ji Xiawan's red and swollen eyes were clearly filled with fear, and her body subconsciously shrank tighter, but she still gritted her teeth and stared at him angrily, as if she would struggle to death if the man in front of her did anything else.
The long wound on Wei Mingyan's left arm was caused by the knife that Ji Xiawan snatched from him when she struggled before.
If she wasn't a woman with weak natural strength, she might have been able to escape.
"Miss..."
"My surname is Wei, and my name is Wei Mingyan."
Wei Mingyan directly reported his real name. This body is called Hu Cheng, but it is obviously unusable.
"Last night, I was also tricked and drugged and led here. Don't worry, since I ruined your innocence, I will definitely take responsibility."
Ji Xiawan looked at him vigilantly. Seeing that the man in front of her was full of sincerity, not like last night, she still didn't let down her guard.
Although she was still confused at the moment, she had begun to come to her senses.
This was obviously an empty temple. Her innocence had just been destroyed. This man was a strong man. As long as he wanted to do something to her, she would definitely not be able to escape.
Since he could speak to her in a nice tone, it at least showed that this man did not want to do anything to her at the moment.
"I don't want you to be responsible."
She spoke, and her originally clear and pleasant voice was now hoarse. Ji Xiawan coughed a few times and hugged her cloak tightly with both hands, "Let me go."
Wei Mingyan paused, as if he did not expect her answer to be like this.
"Miss, where are you going? I'll take you there."
Ji Xiawan's eyes were red, "No, just let me go."
The man in front of her didn't agree, nor did he tear his face. He just looked outside, pondered for a few seconds and said, "Miss, the hairpin on your head is well-made. Although the clothes on your body are plain, the material is very good. The shoes are inlaid with pearls, and your hands are white. You don't look like you have worked before. You must be a lady from a wealthy family."
He looked at the girl in front of him, who would have stood up all over if there were spikes. "There are no people living nearby, only a temple. Yesterday, the wife of the governor brought her family to worship Buddha. There was a lot of pomp along the way."
"Miss, are you a family member of the governor's family?"
Ji Xiawan's face turned pale.
This man knew, he knew who she was.
If he went to her house, her father would definitely not let her live.
What to do, what to do.
Just when Ji Xiawan was panicking, a pair of hands suddenly rested on her shoulders, frightening her so much that she first froze all over, then screamed, closed her eyes and hit him randomly.
She was too weak and her hands were weak. Although she used all her strength, she didn't feel any pain when she hit Wei Mingyan's hard flesh, but her own hands were red.
"Girl, girl..."
Wei Mingyan helplessly watched her close her eyes and hit him blindly, so he had to stand there and let her hit him. After Ji Xiawan hit him for a long time and found that the man didn't move at all, she looked at him with tears in horror, and then she found that the man was looking at her with a helpless expression.
As if she was ignorant.
Ji Xiawan's nose was sore and she cried more.
Since she was eleven years old, she always felt like this. No matter how hard she tried, it was useless. No matter how her stepmother treated her, no matter how she resisted, it was useless. Even now, when she hit someone, she didn't feel any pain at all.
"Girl, don't be afraid. I really don't want to do anything. If you want to go home, I'll take you back."
Wei Mingyan knelt down, picked up the rough jade pendant, put it into Ji Xiawan's hand again, and said seriously, "I have no money now, so I can't marry you. Just wait for me. I'll go after I earn a fortune." If you want to marry me, I will welcome you in a big sedan chair."
Who asked you to marry me?
Ji Xiawan almost didn't throw these words in the face of the man opposite her who had broken her body, but looking at his tall and strong body, she endured it, lowered her head and said nothing.
Seeing her look like she wanted to eat him alive but had to pretend to be docile, Wei Mingyan didn't care, took out the cloth that he had just torn off from her clothes and washed in the river, put it on Ji Xiawan's face, and gently kissed her Help her wipe it.
His strength was not weak, and the fabric was too rough for the girl's tender face. Even though he was as gentle as possible, it still hurt Ji Xiawan.
She thought this man was deliberately bullying her, so she let Wei Mingyan wipe it away without saying a word, and she shed more and more tears.
Wei Mingyan couldn't finish wiping it off, so he had to hand the piece of cloth to her, "Wipe it yourself, I'll take you back."
As he said that, the man looked at the sky and said, "It's just dawn. There are only monks cleaning the temple. I'll send you in through the back door. Be careful and you won't be discovered."
Ji Xiawan was thinking about how to escape when she heard this sentence. She raised her eyes and looked at this man in disbelief.
Is he really willing to let her go?
Until she followed Wei Mingyan hesitantly all the way to the temple, she saw the man climbing over the wall first and then opening the door from the inside to protect her.
It wasn't until Ji Xiawan came to the wing room where she was based on her memory that the heart she had been holding on to just now was half-empty.
"You go in, I will build the family business and then come and marry you."
The tall and strong man stood in the corridor, looked around, stretched out his hand and took off the hairpin from Ji Xiawan's head.
Ji Xiawan subconsciously tried to avoid it but failed to do so. She could only watch as Wei Mingyan carefully placed the hairpin in his arms.
Seeing the girl push open the door and run in like a frightened rabbit after he took back his hand, Wei Mingyan touched the hairpin in his arms and climbed out over the wall.
If you want to marry a wife, you must first build a family business.
***
Ji Xiawan returned to the house. She didn't even give herself time to calm down, so she quickly changed out of the clothes that were stained by rolling on the floor due to the previous struggle.
Even though her body was hurting and uncomfortable, and she felt extremely wronged, she still started to dress herself in front of the bronze mirror.
Ji Xiawan doesn't like dressing up. The new lady has done a good job in the face-saving work. Her clothes are all made of excellent materials. She usually asks her to pick out new clothes and bring them out. Others say that the new lady treats her like this. The stepdaughter is good enough, but no one knows that Ji Xiawan can't even buy the most common lead powder.
It's not that she doesn't have enough money to buy her, it's just that she is locked up in the mansion every day and cannot leave the house. The maids she brings are not allowed to leave the mansion. People say that the new lady treats Ji Xiawan well, but the servants in the mansion know the status of this eldest lady. , if you want to bring something in from outside, it is impossible without some blood.
Fortunately, Ji Xiawan usually didn't like to use these, but now her eyes were red and swollen, and her face was frighteningly white, so she had to cover them.
When the little maid Lan'er came in with water, she saw the young lady who was dressing up.
She stepped forward in surprise, "Miss, why did you get up so early today?"
"Nothing, I just woke up suddenly."
Hearing Ji Xiawan's voice, Lan'er was even more shocked, "Miss, are you suffering from the cold? Why is your voice so mute?"
"Ahem... I caught a cold last night." Ji Xiawan put down the pen that was drawing between her eyebrows, coughed a few times, and looked at the maid who had been serving him.
Her voice was hoarse, "Lan'er, didn't you keep vigil last night? I woke up in the middle of the night and asked you to close the window, but you didn't hear a response."
The little maid was startled and said quickly, "I'm sorry, Miss. Sister Qiu was drunk yesterday and kept making noises to find me, so I stayed with her all night. I didn't do it on purpose, Miss..."
Ji Xiawan never thought that Lan'er would betray her. Apart from anything else, she still had the contract of prostitution in his hands. What's more, Lan'er's temperament was kind at best, but easy to deceive at worst.
The Sister Qiu she was talking about was the eldest maid next to the new wife.
A maid got drunk when the new lady came to the temple and she was needed to serve her.
The new lady's methods were as undisguised as ever.
Ji Xiawan looked at herself in the bronze mirror, her face even paler after using lead powder, and a bitter smile appeared on her lips.
But even so, didn't she still get tricked?
Isn't it true that the new lady is so unscrupulous because even if her biological father knew this, he would not stand up for her at all?
She was able to remarry, bring a daughter to marry the governor, and still maintain her position in the palace despite being idle for seven years. What she relied on was never her means and beauty, but the empress in the palace.
She and her brother wanted to live a good life unless the empress fell, but how could this be possible?
The new lady had always treated her and her brother with kindness on the surface but left them with unspeakable suffering. This time she suddenly attacked her and used such despicable methods. Something must have irritated her.
And this time, although she lost her innocence, she came back well, so she may not be able to escape next time.
Ji Xiawan slowly stood up and lay on the bed again.
She coughed a few times and told Lan'er, "Go and tell my wife that I caught a cold last night and coughed all night. Now I can't get up. Please ask her to call a doctor for me."
Now I just hope that I can escape this disaster.
***
Wei Mingyan was walking in the town, and it was quite lively with people coming and going. He also met a few familiar faces in his memory on the way, but no one recognized him as the former Hucheng.
He raised his head and glanced at the two men laughing and drinking in the restaurant on the second floor, then raised his feet and stepped into the restaurant.
After a while, Wei Mingyan walked out as if nothing had happened, but his arms were more bulging than before.
The waiter rubbed his eyes and was about to ask the two guests who had been drinking all night if they wanted more wine. He saw them lying there sleeping in the distance. He walked forward, but the smell of blood was directly exposed on the tip of his nose.
His eyes widened and he took two steps forward. After seeing the appearance of these two people clearly, his legs were completely weak.
"People are dead!! People are dead!!!"
The dead people were quickly identified. They were two servants of the governor's family. They had left the temple last night and said they wanted to drink at the foot of the mountain.
The two men were quickly taken away and buried. The governor's wife was kind and gave their family some silver.
No one knew that the governor's wife was angry.
She sent these two men to stun Ji Xiawan and take her to be defiled, but they ended up drinking her all night long and were killed in the tavern.
However, this was fine, even if the matter failed, there was no need for her to silence her.
It's that bitch, she's lucky!
***
The governor's family stayed in the temple for another three days and then left.
On the day they left, Ji Xiawan had a pale face and was supported by Lan'er. She couldn't even walk steadily. She was so weak that she coughed and had to go down the mountain before she could sit in the sedan.
The new lady glanced at the girl whose face was as white as paper, and asked warmly, "Is Wan'er's health still good?"
Ji Xiawan coughed and said, "Going back to my mother, the doctor said I had a cold and prescribed medicine, but it didn't work and I didn't have any strength."
She had been lying in bed for three days, and what she said was indeed very convincing. The new lady's lips curled up almost imperceptibly, "Then you can have a good rest when you get back to the house, and tell mother if you need anything."
"Thank you mother."
Seeing Ji Xiawan, who was coughing non-stop, being helped onto the sedan by the maid, the new lady turned around and sat on the sedan with satisfaction.
Let's see how she can replace Ting'er, a sick young man who is so sick that he can't even walk steadily.
Sitting in the sedan, Ji Xiawan opened the curtain and subconsciously glanced at the shortcut that had followed the man up. The path was empty and there was nothing.
A real bandit den
Wei Mingyan kicked over the big man who rushed towards him with a knife, snatched his knife and stuck it on the ground in front of him.
"Are you convinced?"
After resisting countless times and being suppressed, the big man was already bruised and swollen. He looked around at his brothers who were crawling on the ground and screaming in agony.
He gritted his teeth and pulled out the knife on the ground. Just when Wei Mingyan thought he was going to do it again, the big man threw the knife far away, raised his fist, gritted his teeth and shouted, "Brother!"
"Brother, how could you do this? There are so many of us going together, and you're still afraid... eh!!"
One of the younger brothers, who was squirming on the ground and trying to get up, was suppressed again.
Reluctantly, he lay on his back and looked at the man who had killed countless of their brothers alone, "You don't want me to call you brother!"
"Even if I, Hou Er, die! I will never recognize you as my elder brother!"
"good."
Wei Mingyan nodded and raised the knife, "Then you go die."
Hou Er opened his eyes wide in fear, seeing that he was actually serious.
They have been bandits for so many years, but they have never killed anyone!
The knife was about to fall.
Hou Er closed his eyes tightly and his voice almost broke, "Brother!!!"
"Big, big, big brother, don't kill me!!!"
"One of our own, big brother!"
Wei Mingyan put down the knife with satisfaction and patted his rough face, "Be good, we are all our own."
The first step in rebellion is to train a younger brother.
The author has something to say: Well, 200 random little angels will give out red envelopes in this chapter. I hope that’s enough.
Still two in one, good night everyone
