Chi Zhao's estimate was correct. On the fourteenth day, Shen Wumian rushed back to the capital of Chen State with his private soldiers and cronies.
When he left, he took 60,000 troops with him. When he came back, there were only less than 40 elite subordinates around him. As soon as he arrived at the city gate, Shen Wumian was stopped. On the top of the city gate, looking down at Shen Wumian below, he said loudly: "The regent is tyrannical and indiscriminate, killing innocent people indiscriminately, and not strictly monitoring the country, causing Chen's domestic and foreign troubles, and the people's hardship, we are ordered by your majesty. , arrest the culprit here. The culprit Shen Wumian still does not take off his armor and kneels to confess his guilt!"
Shen Wumian held a long sword in his hand, and after listening to these words, he still sat on the horse motionless.
It was obvious that he was the one who was looked down on, but the right phase felt that the person who was looked down upon had become himself, the right phase was silent for a moment, and then repeated the few words he just said, and he also knew what he said. There is a lot of water, but there is no way to do it. This is the gate of the capital. What happened here will spread to the ears of the people the next day. For His Majesty's reputation and the prestige of the court, he must say this.
After saying those high-sounding words again, Shen Wumian finally moved a bit. He lifted the hand holding the sword up, and the low voice spread word by word to the tower.
"I want to see Your Majesty."
There was a row of archers standing beside the Prime Minister, and everyone was waiting in an array. The Prime Minister frowned, and before he could speak, he saw another minister beside him step forward and shouted loudly: "Presumptuous! Your Majesty is you? This sinner can see what he wants to see?"
Shen Wumian is no longer the prince regent, but he is still a prince. His title was conferred by the former emperor. It is not so easy for the little emperor to move his title. The Right Prime Minister's brows were even more wrinkled, and before he could say anything to the pig teammate, Shen Wumian was impatient.
His face sank, and the armors stained with the dust from the border to the capital collided with each other, making a sharp sound unique to metal.
"Then there's nothing to say."
Shen Wumian raised the hand holding the sword and commanded in a low voice, "Siege the gate!"
The minister who just spoke suddenly widened his eyes, is Shen Wumian dying? Siege gate here? There are only dozens of people around him, how can he compare to the three thousand imperial guards in the city gate!
Everyone can't tell whether Shen Wumian is really capable, or whether he is courting death wholeheartedly. If they want to know the answer, they can only watch him attack the city gate.
Right Xiang's face became ugly, and he cursed inwardly, tsk, really let His Majesty say it right.
The Right Prime Minister looked at Shen Wumian even more unhappy, but he still stopped the bloody scene that was about to appear, "Wait!"
Shen Wumian raised his eyes and looked at Xiang Xiang. The latter resisted the pressure of his eyes and said without changing his face: "Your Majesty said that he will only come to see you if you bow your head and confess your guilt."
The minister next to him looked at Xiang Xiang in amazement. He didn't understand which song he sang. If he really confessed his guilt, Shen Wumian would be completely finished, and there would be no chance to see His Majesty. Besides, Shen Wumian just said that he wanted to Seeing His Majesty is, at best, a playful statement. Now that His Majesty and Shen Wumian are mortal enemies, how could Shen Wumian still want to see him and wish to kill him, right
Almost everyone thought so, including Shen Wumian's subordinates. At first, they were still sneering and sneering in their hearts, thinking that the Right Prime Minister was really a daydream, but after finding out that Shen Wumian really didn't move, they panicked.
Then, they watched Shen Wumian pursing his lips tightly, his expression cold and gloomy, although he had a face that was about to kill him, but he didn't do anything in line with his expression, but got off his horse and personally Handed the saber to the defending soldier on the side.
"Your Highness!"/"Master!"
Different voices sounded, and the shocking emotions spread among the two forces. Shen Wumian handed over the sword and took off the armor on his body. Then, he raised his head again and looked at the right minister who was far away on the city tower. , asked him with his eyes, is this enough
He didn't plead guilty, and he didn't bow his head.
However, he conceded.
The Right Prime Minister was also shocked. He was shocked that Shen Wumian gave up his chance to live so easily, and he was also shocked by the little emperor's understanding of Shen Wumian.
The sentence just now was taught to him by the little emperor before he came out. He said that if Shen Wumian is not obedient, he will use this sentence to threaten him, and he will be obedient at that time.
Looking at Shen Wumian's lonely and embarrassed figure, the Right Prime Minister's mood became extremely complicated.
This person... seems to be sincere to His Majesty.
Look back at their majesty...
Sure enough, since ancient times, the most ruthless are the imperial family.
When the swords were drawn on the side of the city gate, Chi Zhao was still sitting quietly in the palace, fiddling with the pot of wine under his hand.
When the main system saw that Shen Wumian really walked in alone, without weapons and armor, he breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a little surprised on the other.
To be honest, he has been waiting for the past few days, waiting for Chi Zhao to suddenly soften his heart or come up with some cowardly actions, causing the mission to fail again. After all, he has watched the recordings of the three worlds, and he is used to this kind of thing, but no, Chi Zhao has always performed very well. For those things that are difficult to start, he has also completed it, it is like being reborn.
Before Shen Wumian came back, the main system was cautiously vigilant. Now that Shen Wumian came back, the main system was completely relieved.
Now the entire Chen country, no, it should be said that the whole world knows that the regent of the Chen country has fallen, and even if Chi Zhao changes his mind, he can't do anything more.
The main system happily stretched out a data cable, and also took a picture of the neuron that took the pool photo.
[Well done, the Slag Shou system will be back tomorrow, I will go to hand over it first, can you do it by yourself?]
When Chi Zhao heard this, he immediately nodded obediently, "Of course, I'll be fine by myself. Goodbye Dad."
Main system: "… "
[See you.]
Shen Wumian was imprisoned in the prison. After all, he was the former regent. The right side was relatively good to him. He found him a cell that was comparable to a five-star suite in a prison. .
Shen Wumian sat in the cell, not sad, annoyed, or resentful, he just thought in a trance, the original feeling of being watched is like this, no wonder Chen Yi always disliked it.
It was said that if he confessed his guilt, he could see the little emperor, but Shen Wumian waited for a day and did not see the figure he was thinking of. , Chi Zhao had already stood in front of him.
Looking down at Shen Wumian, Chi Zhao said thoughtlessly, "Is it relaxing here?"
Others didn't understand, but Shen Wumian understood immediately.
Just now, before the little emperor came in, he fell asleep, so he didn't wake up suddenly until the little emperor walked in front of him. According to the past, this was absolutely impossible, but this time, he was really tired. First, he took command of the expedition and fought for two days without sleep. Later, when he heard the news, he rushed back with stars and moons for ten consecutive days. For a few days, he hadn't had a good night's sleep. At this time, he arrived in the dark cell, and after learning that everything had been settled, he could have a good night's sleep.
Shen Wumian twitched the corners of his mouth stiffly, as if he wanted to laugh, but after pulling for a long time, he didn't laugh. Chi Zhao looked at the blue-black under his eyes, and the fine stubble on his chin, and didn't say anything else. , he turned his head and instructed the people around him, "Go outside and watch."
Chi Zhao said that the outside was outside the cell, and the cell was surrounded by a circle of wooden stakes. The new commander-in-chief of guards who came in with Chi Zhao was not very relieved, but after thinking about it, he went out.
Although they were invisible to the naked eye, they both knew that there were a bunch of people outside who were closely watching what was going on inside. Shen Wumian opened his mouth, his voice was tired and hoarse from the long journey, without the slightest momentum when facing the Right Prime Minister and the Imperial Guard.
"Your Majesty, are you getting what you want now?"
Chi Zhao raised his eyes and replied, "Not yet."
Shen Wumian listened to his answer, and there was something more elusive in his eyes. He turned his eyes and looked indifferently in the cell. He saw an extra pot of wine on the table. After a pause, he suddenly laughed. .
"Yeah, of course not yet."
He is still alive, how can he get what he wants
Hearing him laughing and saying such a strange thing again, Chi Zhao gave him a puzzled look, then followed his gaze to the jug of wine, Chi Zhao pursed his lips without any excuse.
Seeing his expression, Shen Wumian still didn't understand, but he was not reconciled.
In two lifetimes, I was planted on the same person; in both lifetimes, I didn't get a single point of true affection from this person. Why... is he the only one who has failed so well
The ingenious wine jug appeared in his hand in a blink of an eye. He took the wine glass on the side, and Shen Wumian poured a glass out. Chi Zhao only brought one glass over. It is self-evident who this glass of wine is for.
The royal gift of wine is synonymous with death. Shen Wumian watched the transparent wine trickle out, and he couldn't tell what his mood was.
It seems to be numb and used to it, and even, there is a kind of smoothness that is about to be liberated.
Holding a small wine glass, Shen Wumian asked in a low voice, "What do you want to say to me, Your Majesty?"
The cell was quiet for a long time, and then there was a slightly harsh voice that belonged to the teenager, "...I'm sorry."
sorry.
The last thing he needs, the last thing he doesn't want to hear, is such a sorry sentence.
Swallowing back the bitter and bloody taste in the throat, after a few breaths, the throat that had lost its voice for a while finally made a sound again.
"I used to want your life, but now you want my life, even if it's even," Shen Wumian laughed at himself, then looked at the young emperor standing in front of him, "I hope... , I will never meet you again."
Chi Zhao's expression has not changed, and even a little too calm, even the guards outside are sighing about what this is, but Chi Zhao is still distracted.
It was not until he heard Shen Wumian's last sentence that Chi Zhao's expression changed instantly.
His expression was full of disbelief, as well as unreacted pity and dazedness. Shen Wumian didn't notice this, he drank the wine in the glass, and then continued to look at the person in front of him.
The person in front of him finally no longer looks like Gujing Wubo, his face paled a little, and the corners of his eyes drooped unconsciously, as if someone had hurt his heart, Shen Wumian smiled lowly, thinking about the effect of the medicine. Say something before the attack, but at this moment, the effect of the drug kicks in.
And it wasn't until this moment that Shen Wumian realized that what he was drinking was not the poisonous wine he imagined.
He lost his strength all of a sudden, and the world in front of him also spun up and down. Unprepared, he fell forward. Chi Zhao took a lot of strength to support him. At that time, Shen Wumian had not completely lost consciousness. He clearly Feeling that the little emperor hurriedly supported his body, preventing him from falling to the ground.
After a moment of silence, he tightened his arms, and two weak arms were wrapped around his back, tightening little by little, like a young child expressing his reluctance to his family, and like Drowning man's thirst and obsession with driftwood at sea.
