Fast time travel cannon fodder: the villain boss is forced to resign

Chapter 189 My Dumb Bride 23
"It's my officer."

An old voice came from the cell, full of air.

Qi Wei looked over, the smile on his face remained unchanged, but his eyes were frozen three feet cold.

Jiang Wuwei was wearing a prison uniform, which was stained with dust, and his gray beard was sticking up. He walked towards Qi Wei step by step at a leisurely pace.

"I don't know why Prime Minister Qi is looking for this official?"

Under the corner of Qi Wei's mouth, seeing Jiang Wuwei's fearless attitude just like his name, he couldn't disguise his gentle appearance, and his sickly pale complexion became even paler in the prison with weak candlelight.

"Come here, bring it out, and serve it with great torture."

Zhou Zongyuan frowned at this time, and stopped him, "Why did Prime Minister Qi target our country's important officials?"

If Zhou Guo's envoy was bullied for no reason, he would not only lose his goodwill in front of his father, but also lose his prestige in the court. In the competition for the throne, he would lose his advantage.

Qi Wei was full of sternness, even if he wore a white robe, it could not conceal his sickly fierceness and ruthlessness.

"Come here, show the evidence to His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince."

The jailer handed the confession of the assassin of Qi to Zhou Zongyuan, Zhou Zongyuan took the confession, his originally condensed face was gloomy like a dark cloud.

Zhou Zongyuan sneered, and looked at Mr. Jiang Wuwei, who was still fooling them, "Mr. Jiang, you are really calculating!"

Brother Wuhuang is really a good plan!

It's just colluding with the Qi State and bringing the disaster to him, and he can kill three birds with one stone.

One is to provoke the relationship between Zhou Guo and Xia Guo.

Second, let the emperor question Zhou Zongyuan's ability.

Three times, the courtiers of Zhou State were disappointed with Zhou Zongyuan.

Really good calculation!

Unfortunately, Xia Guo is not stupid.

Qi Wei sent someone to take Jiang Wuwei out of the prison, and brought Jiang Wuwei to the execution room under the watchful eyes of all the Zhou courtiers.

Jiang Wuwei did not lose his demeanor, his old face remained calm, and his tone was undeniably disappointed, "His Royal Highness, you allow Xia Guo to bully me Zhou Guo like this?"

"Have you forgotten the past of Xia and Zhou? Forgot the soldiers whose bones were still cold? That was all done by Xia's villains!"

Qi Wei narrowed his eyes, and a cold light flashed, "Come here, pull out his tongue."

Zhou Guozhong's envoys looked at Zhou Zongyuan, hoping that he could protect Jiang Wuwei, but Zhou Zongyuan just watched lazily without any expression.

In the end, everyone heard Jiang Wuwei's miserable voice, from the muffled voice at the beginning, to scolding, to dying at the end.

Two hours later, the jailer threw Jiang Wuwei into the cell. The bloody and bloody Jiang Wuwei could no longer make a sound. The courtiers of the Zhou Kingdom looked at each other, and no one dared to approach him, but they became more and more awed and fearful of Xia Guo.

Three days later, Zhou Guo sent envoys to seek peace and exchanged ten thousand taels of gold for two cities, and Yuan Sui released Zhou Zongyuan and others from the prison.

At the intersection of Youzhou, Yuan Sui and Qi Yuan stood side by side, and behind them was the solemn and solemn Xia army. Every soldier was full of energy and their eyes were like torches.

Zhou Zongyuan's eyes were complicated. Just relying on Xia Guomin's will, Zhou Guo lost the chance to win.

"In the future, when we meet again, it should be on the battlefield."

Under the long sleeves, Yuan Sui took Qi Yuan's hand and looked at Zhou Zongyuan who was talking. This is his own brother. When we meet again, he is an enemy on the battlefield.

Yuan Sui nodded slightly, agreeing to Zhou Zongyuan's words.

Zhou Zongyuan had a soft expression, looked at Qi Yuan, bent down and cupped his hands, "Thank you for the seeds, my mother, I thank you on behalf of the people of Zhou Kingdom."

Yuan Sui narrowed his eyes, shifted his gaze to Qi Yuan, and asked in a low voice, "Are you giving alms everywhere behind my back?"

He couldn't understand what her family wanted to do. This chaotic and dirty world has anything to do with her?

Since the prolific seeds were researched by her, Xia Guo left enough seeds, and she sent all the remaining seeds to other countries.

He thought that Bodhisattvas are not as magnanimous as hers.

Qi Yuan ignored Yuan Sui and accepted Zhou Zongyuan's thanks with peace of mind.

Yuan Sui was depressed, noticed Zhou Zongyuan's similar eyebrows and eyes, full of jealousy in his heart, his footsteps moved closer to Qi Yuan, and his voice became lower and lower, "Wan Yuan, do you love Wu and Wu?"

Qi Yuan: "..."

Just fight hard when fighting the world, don't you just stare at the love of your children all day long?

Zhou Zongyuan looked away with difficulty. Originally, he only thought that Emperor Xia was a hero, a ruthless person who only had royal power and hegemony in his heart...

Qi Yuan twisted Yuan Sui's hand. Under the wide sleeves, no movement could be seen. Yuan Sui's face twisted for a moment, but quickly outlined a curve.

Zhou Zongyuan: "..."

The true love between the royal couple is rare.It's not like Zhou Guo, who married the minister's children early, just to consolidate his position and gain the support of the road to the throne.

Sending Zhou Zongyuan away, Qi Yuan pulled Yuan Sui, and when they saw Mrs. Yuan hiding behind the dead tree, they looked at each other, but neither of them broke it.

Yuan Sui winked at Xuncai, and then paid no attention to Mrs. Yuan again.

When Zhou Zongyuan returned to Zhou State, the situation was not good, but although the emperor was dissatisfied with him, he did not target him.

Until Zhou Zongyuan was announced to the imperial study alone.

In the imperial study room, the emperor stared at Zhou Zongyuan's eyebrows and sighed, "Have you seen your mother?"

Zhou Zongyuan hurriedly knelt down, not daring to raise his head. He was astonished in his heart. His father had always been fatuous, and the important ministers controlled the government. How could he...know?
Zhou Zongyuan was in a mess and didn't dare to answer, let alone how to answer.

The old emperor played with the colored glass string, laughed twice, his vicissitudes of eyes flashed brightly, "Yuan'er, you all know that I am stupid, but fortunately I am beautiful, haha, yes, I am indeed."

The old emperor's voice was suddenly sharp, which was quite different from his usual self.

"You have forgotten that back then, I was just an ordinary prince, and my biological mother was of low status, she was just the foot-washing maid of the former emperor. How could I be fatuous when I climbed up from the sea of ​​blood?"

Zhou Zongyuan's head lowered a little, and a stormy sea arose in his heart.

The old emperor leaned on the throne, staring at the inkstone on the table, "Your mother is Yuan Ling, she is an extraordinary woman, she is not stupid, she is free and easy, and she has been chasing freedom all her life."

"Back then, your mother saved me three times and left three times. After giving birth to you, I thought she would never come back. All that was left was a ridiculous skin. But she came back again, and she took the child with her leave."

"Over the years, she has done a lot of business. I secretly protect her, protect... your brother."

"That child was raised very well by her. If he can rule the world, I will die in peace."

Zhou Zongyuan's heart was torn apart, recalling his father's connivance to him when he was a child, but he didn't like the empress.It turns out that it's not that the father likes him, but...he is the only thing that mother thinks about staying with the father.

Zhou Zongyuan's heart was sour. If his mother took him away, wouldn't he need to compete for favor, sacrifice his marriage, and... live so tiringly?

The old emperor let out a heavy breath, and for a moment, he seemed to be ten years older, "I don't want your brothers to fight against the wall."

The sourness in Zhou Zongyuan's heart turned into coldness, and his body seemed to be frozen. He fought with other brothers for more than [-] years and sacrificed everything, but he was no match for Yuan Sui who had never met.

"However, how can the royal family have true feelings?" The old emperor smiled, relieved, but a pathological paranoia flashed across his eyes, "This throne belongs to you. I hope that this world belongs to the Zhou family."

If the world's surname is Zhou, then his Ling'er must also be surnamed Zhou, his Zhou.
