Riding the Pheonix Chapter 587: Failed
The observation tower was in chaos.
Ming Wei and Wen Xiuyi, who were isolated in the forest, could not feel this kind of chaos.
They restrain each other and no one can get out of this place.
Wen Xiuyi's secret Gu was swallowed and her strength declined. Now she can no longer fight Ming Wei.
It is not that easy for Mingwei to get out of the poisonous fog formation. With Wen Xiuyi interfering beside him, he cannot escape unscathed.
In that case, keep it!
Of course she is sure of it if she dares to follow him.
Duofu is not what he used to be. With her by the imperial concubine's side, it is not difficult to protect a person.
As for the emperor, with her warning, I believe that the masters around him will not let him be plotted.
Besides, even if you are really plotted, it is not an unbearable loss, right?
Mingwei admitted that she dared to let go because she had such a dark mentality.
Whether this matter succeeds or not, it will be beneficial to ourselves.
The emperor is fine, then the situation in Qi is stable. When something happened to the emperor, Yang Shu stood up.
She is not that noble and upright, because she must save the emperor for some illusory reasons.
Wen Xiuyi became increasingly uneasy.
At the beginning, she even talked to Mingwei, although the content was basically a bickering.
Later, she said nothing and sat silently on the tree, breaking off the branches.
Mingwei was too lazy to talk to her. She was hungry, so she took out the cake and ate it slowly.
Wen Xiuyi didn't feel it at first, she looked at it and swallowed quietly.
Mingwei raised his eyebrows: "Want to eat?"
Wen Xiuyi turned her head away and snorted.
"If you don't want to eat it, forget it." Mingwei continued to eat the cake.
Wen Xiuyi scolded her angrily in her heart.
Who is this!
But asking her to bow her head to Mingwei is impossible!
Aren’t you just hungry for a while? It's not like she couldn't stand it.
In silence, the moon finally reaches the zenith.
Mingwei finished eating and leaned lazily on the branch, humming an unknown song.
Wen Xiuyi looked at the observation tower for a while, looked at her for a while, and was in a daze for a while.
Seeing her like this, Mingwei became interested in chatting again and asked, "Do you think Jingli can succeed?"
Wen Xiuyi's eyes flickered but she didn't answer.
Ming smiled: "It seems that you know very well that the possibility of success in Jingcheng is very small. So, your hopes were placed here from the beginning, right? It doesn't matter whether Jingli succeeds or not, as long as If the emperor is killed, the goal is achieved. Well, let me think about it, what are the benefits of this? For an enemy country, the death of an experienced emperor will definitely bring instability to the government and even affect the cohesion of the people... Hey, do you want to go to the Northern Expedition?"
Wen Xiuyi remained silent.
Mingwei thought for a while, then shook his head and rejected: "That's not right. I didn't see you taking advantage of the situation when we used troops to attack the northwest. It shows that we are not strong enough. Now that our country is prosperous, you should not be able to make the Northern Expedition. So, it is for the future. Are you ready?"
She fell into her own memories and remembered things in history: "If the emperor of Qi dies, then Northern Qi will fall into turmoil. After all, the prince has just been abolished and the new prince has not yet grown up. This is very important for a dynasty. It’s too hurtful to say. If one thing goes another, you can take advantage of this opportunity to develop as much as you can. When one day, the strength exceeds that of Northern Qi, the time for the Northern Expedition will come."
In her history, Nanchu also did this, but that was after King An ascended the throne.
The great chaos in the Northern Qi Dynasty was the result of several pronged measures. King An, known as the Ling Emperor in history, was dissolute and immoral, Xuan Fei became a monster and brought trouble to the court, Su Tu established the Western Wei Dynasty and has been harassing the northwest, and Southern Chu also sent spies to disrupt the situation.
In this way, in just twenty years, the powerful Northern Qi Dynasty turned into a mess.
For the next few decades, it was all supported by its deep family background. When the family wealth was exhausted, Northern Qi also collapsed.
In this life, things are different.
Now that the Hu people have been driven to the depths of the grassland, Xuanfei has come out of the mystery of his life experience. Even if King An succeeds to the throne again, he probably will not reach that point.
Thinking about it this way, it is very possible for Nanchu to send spies here in advance.
After all, the person who became the regent was an ambitious figure.
Mingwei looked at Wen Xiuyi's face and laughed: "Looking at you like this, I guessed it right?"
Wen Xiuyi remained silent.
Mingwei continued: "Then let me guess who the person behind you is!"
There was a hint of contempt in Wen Xiuyi's eyes.
Ming Wei pretended not to see it and analyzed his own: "You look down on the Nanchu royal family, so it must have nothing to do with them. Then there are only a few big families in Nanchu who can do this, among which the Tang family is the most . At present, the Tang family is the most powerful, and its ambition to replace the Southern Chu royal family is also the most obvious. Are you sent by the Tang family?"
Wen Xiuyi said nothing.
Mingwei didn't take it seriously and continued: "The current people in power in the Tang family...ah, I don't think they can hire Miss Wen. People like Miss Wen definitely don't do this for their own personal gains and losses. Something. Then why is it for? Maybe it’s the favor owed by the ancestors, or maybe because someone moved you... Maybe I can get this answer one day when I go to Nanchu."
Wen Xiuyi's eyes flickered, but she stopped talking.
Ming smiled and groaned, and if he wanted to say more, he heard the sound in his ears, but someone came to break the poisonous fog formation.
She smiled and said: "Miss Wen, it seems that those who are here are my people. No matter whether the emperor is dead or not, I will be the one who laughs last!"
Wen Xiuyi snorted.
Mingwei jumped down from the tree and wiped the snow powder off his hands: "Xiao Bai, bring this person over here."
"Yes." The little white snake slid down the plum tree and quickly disappeared into the mist.
Wen Xiuyi also came down from the tree. ~IndoMTL.com~ While Mingwei lowered his head to calculate the direction, he suddenly raised his sleeve and threw something out.
Mingwei jumped up, and a burst of poisonous smoke rose from the ground.
As she retreated, Wen Xiuyi's figure flashed and quickly disappeared into the poisonous mist.
Mingwei waved away the poisonous smoke from his nose and frowned: "Recovering her skills so quickly? It seems that she is not angry at all! It's better than expected."
But she didn't chase him.
After entering the poisonous mist, her strength will be suppressed. If Wen Xiuyi has another attack, it will be difficult to deal with her.
Not long after, the little white snake came over with people.
But what a blessing.
"Miss!" Duofu rushed over and looked her up and down, "Are you okay? Are you not injured?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Mingwei reassured her, "You are here, is the imperial concubine okay?"
"Yes." Duofu said, "We evacuated in time, but His Majesty fell."
"Oh." Mingwei said, not caring about the emperor's safety, "Then let's go back."
……
Wen Xiuyi walked out of the fog in embarrassment. Under the moonlight, there was a man in strange clothes waiting there.
"You were actually plotted against?" This man's accent was a little weird.
Wen Xiuyi hesitated and asked, "Did you succeed?"
He shook his head: "No. They seem to be prepared, and we even lost some people."
Wen Xiuyi nodded: "Let's go!"
The man asked strangely: "Aren't you going to take revenge?"
Wen Xiuyi said coldly: "The other party is stronger than us, what's the purpose of revenge? I pretended to be stupid, not to send myself out again, but to have revenge one day in the future. Don't delay, let's go!"
