Chapter 24 (1/1)
Theof ”sincerity splits open gold and stone”, theof ”hard work pays off for the resoluteof all such expressions in a split second He was al with joy, and instinctively felt that he should cover his face with smiles and squeeze out two tears to express how moved he was But all he did was to stare blankly at Su Yi; he didn't do anything, because he was incapable of doing anything
After an inordinately long ti if the man before him had been suddenly struck by dementia, Wanyan Xu finally extended his arhtly, andThe force of the eth Su Yi was alar to push away the rip, he heard Wanyan Xu whisper beside his ear, saying each word carefully: “Su Su, If I [2] can have you, I shall never want for anything else in my lifetime”
Su Yi was stunned, and abruptly halted all his movements For some reason, this remark uttered at this time, did not arouse even a little of the usual humiliation in Su Yi Instead he could only feel the truth of the stateht: although this reatest ene close friend Evidently, everything in this world cannot escape the words ”fate s of men”
A little while later, when they came to the palace, they saw a crowd of palace ad a short distance froroup said in a terrifiedto your Majesty, we had heard that your Majesty would arrive tomorrow, therefore we failed to travel out to receive your Majesty Our crime is worthy of ten-thousand deaths, we request that your Majesty mete out punishment”
Wanyan Xu smiled amiably and said: “Please rise, I was i this place with a skeleton crew , there is no further need of reports You have taken good care of this city, I have entered it in casual dress and I see that that the streets are bustling with activity even in normal circumstances It has not been affected by the flames of war; this must be to your credit You shall all be well rewarded”
After hearing these words, the gathered administrators could finally relax, and crowded around Wanyan Xu as an escort as he entered the palace At this point, it was getting late After they had theirin the palace co for the arrival of all the concubines and iements
Jin Liao has just moved her capital to Dou Yan, this matter alone caused n, Wanyan Xu did not have even a short moment of idleness, to the extent that he could not even visit Su Yi’s quarters to pester hiin to relax Although Su Yi still had the wish to escape, he was prevented frouards to keep a close watch on him For another, he knew full well that even if he should succeed in effecting his own escape, he could not possibly rescue all the people of Great Qi His greatest weakness having been mastered by Wanyan Xu, for him to escape fro the heavens
On this day, after the ain leisurely barged into Su Yi's quarters He only smiled at Su Yi mysteriously, and continued to smile until Su Yi was totally baffled by his behaviour Only then did Wanyan Shuo deign to speak, saying casually: ”You still have the mood to read here? Can't you see that the Garden of Merriment just opposite has already been repaired and is ready for use?”
Su Yi cast a glance outside the ; the pain in his heart was antly luxurious palace that the Qi E his troops to weaken and be easily defeated, and in effect, had directly led to outco their country destroyed Su Yi turned away, not bothering to engage with Wanyan Shuo, he only said with a heavy grunt: ”It is the scourge that has caused the fall of a country, what is there to admire about it?”
Wanyan Shuo nodded and said: “Oh, of course, no wonder you are so angry, I've heard that your Emperor incited the wrath of Heaven and the co and provisions for the troops and thus dooy but it has been to our advantage I wonder what he thinks of it now in the underworld?”
Su Yi said coldly: “Did you come here just to say this? If so, then I have heard what you have to say, so please leave”
Wanyan Shuo was not offended in the least, he laughed and said: “Of course not Once the Garden of Merriment has been properly restored, my Royal Father will name a new Queen Does that not worry you even a little?”
Su Yi raised his head and looked hi a new queen has nothing to do with me Why should I worry? Both you and your father don't make much sense when you speak”
Wanyan Shuo was so surprised that his eyes were bulging “What? Did my Imperial father not even breathe a little hint of this to you? He is too close-lipped Can it be that you truly do not know that the new Empress he intends to name is none other than you”
With a loud bang, the book that Su Yi was holding landed heavily on the table beside Wanyan Shuo Su Yi's face and ears were flushed red, full of fury, he yelled: “You are a small child, and the crown prince of a country to boot, why do you not have any propriety in your speech? No doubt, I aeneral; you can beat or kill me as you please Your father uses the life of my people to threaten h for the two of you, is there really a need to send a child like you to h Su Yi has a co to let his people suffer, I will not be cowed If I am forced to the point where I have no way out except for death, no matter the reason, they will not be able to make me suffer on to live in this world”
Wanyan Shuo was neither afraid nor worried, he sreat respect for General Su Yi's le word I said was a lie, you will know this soon enough If you can do as you said, and be willing to sacrifice the lives of your people, then no one can stop you if you choose to die But I understand my Royal Father's temper best; he will really unleash a store, the likes of which you don't even dare to dreaave another cold laugh, and left
