After the divorce, the salted fish beauty took the script of the villain

Chapter 689

After New Year's Eve, it was still snowing heavily. Xie Jue and Lan Ningzhen could no longer stay in the town. If they stayed for a long time, the two kings would become suspicious. Moreover, Lan Ningzhen was a girl of the Lan family after all, so she could not miss the important meeting of the Lan family. During the banquet, the northern barbarians pay attention to unity.After New Year's Eve, there are gatherings of various sizes every day, and important members of the family must participate.

Before Xie Jue returned to the city, he disguised his appearance again. Lan Ningzhen watched helplessly as this face changed from stunning to ordinary under her gaze. Her eyebrows were ignored because Xie Jue deliberately darkened and thickened them. Those beautiful and lively eyes.

It's such a shame, and so lucky, that she is the only one who can appreciate such beauty.

After Lan Ningzhen gave the doctor a large amount of money, she took ointment and applied it on Xie Jue's face. The two of them bundled up tightly and returned to the city. There was very heavy snow on the road. Although the horses of the Northern Barbarians were used to riding in the snow, It was also difficult to get used to walking inside. It took nearly three hours to get close to the city gate. After approaching Fox City, someone cleared a path outside the city, so walking was not that difficult.

After entering the city, we parted ways and went back to our homes!

After Xie Jue came to Fox City, he had the most relaxing time in the town. When he returned to the Second Prince's Mansion, he started to worry again. As soon as he returned to the Second Prince's Mansion, he learned that his counselor Xiao Jinghong was dead.

"Why?" Xie Jue was slightly shocked. Xiao Jinghong and Du Fang were the most favored advisers in the second prince's palace. Before he came, the second prince followed their opinions on many matters. The second prince was reckless and impulsive, that is, He relied on his advisers to gain a foothold in the imperial court and was in good health. He was in his prime. How could he die?

Du Fang was still a little frightened and told a major event that happened in the imperial court on New Year's Eve, "On New Year's Eve, the king summoned all the princes for a banquet. In addition to the princess, each palace could also bring two advisers. I happened to be cold that day. , it was difficult to pass the illness to others, so the prince only took Xiao Jinghong to the imperial court for a banquet. Unexpectedly, the nine princes at the banquet attacked and sued the two kings for bullying. Because General Meng died, he doubted the six princes, which made the six princes worried. My thoughts are getting worse and I am recuperating at home. It is said that our second king has repeatedly brought trouble to the Sixth Prince's Palace without any basis, and then falsely accuses the eldest prince. It is a play that we directed and acted ourselves. The purpose is to compete for credit in front of the king. The ninth prince complained about his brother and hoped that the king would make the decision. The prince naturally argued for his reasons, but his temper was too hot. After being provoked by the eldest prince after a few words, he wanted to get violent. The king paid most attention to the harmony and affection between brothers. On the spot Furious, the eldest prince said that the two princes were simple and reckless, and they must not have such scheming. It must be an evil adviser in the palace who wanted to alienate the relationship between their brothers. The ninth prince sang with him, but the king did not listen to the prince's judgment and ordered someone to behead him. Xiao Jinghong."

Xie Jue was frightened after hearing this and chopped down Xiao Jinghong. That would bring the death of General Meng to an end and let it go. Since the adviser was killed, the two kings could not be blamed.Therefore, the Northern Man king ordered the two kings to apologize to their brothers, and the matter was taken lightly.Poor Xiao Jinghong didn't even have a word of differentiation, and his head was beheaded before he even had time to see the Northern Barbarian King.

The Northern Barbarian King also reprimanded the counselors in each mansion in public. If anyone dares to sow discord and cause the princes to alienate, that will be the fate. This move also shocked the counselors in each mansion. No one dared to act rashly. During this period, the Fox City was peaceful. Very well, everyone is immersed in the New Year atmosphere.

Xie Jue thought to himself, if Lan Ningzhen hadn't taken him out of the house and stayed in the town for a few days to avoid New Year's Eve, would he have been able to avoid the Northern Barbarian King's killing of chickens to scare the monkeys?

No!

He absolutely can't!
He will definitely follow the two kings into the palace. Xie Jue has always prided himself on being smart. He came to Fox City to go deep behind enemy lines and get more information, but the palace alone can no longer satisfy him.If the second king takes him into the palace on New Year's Eve, he will definitely go in. Even if the second king doesn't take him and can only bring one person, he will find a way to take Xiao Jinghong instead, and the loss will be his life.

Silently, he didn't even say a word of defense.

Hundreds of years after the founding of Yanyang, whether in the previous dynasty or to this day, the country has been governed by laws. However, when a high-ranking person wants to kill a lower-ranking person, it is often just a word or a look.

Whether it is in Beiman or Yanyang.

This situation is even more unique among the Northern Barbarians. They regard their warriors as brothers, but at the same time, they also ignore those who betray them and treat them like pigs and dogs.When the Northern Barbarian King returned to the city, he heard about the conflicts between the First King, the Second King, and the Sixth King. He suppressed it until New Year's Eve, and even specially asked each mansion to have an imperial court of counselors.

From the very beginning, the counselor was certain to die. The Northern Barbarian King wanted to scare the monkeys and tell the men with ulterior motives standing behind his sons not to sow discord. He was also telling them that the Northern Barbarian princes must unite.

If any adviser is ambitious, he will definitely compete to enter the imperial court on New Year's Eve, and that person will be killed!

Xie Jue secretly thought that this crisis came so suddenly that he was not aware of it. If Lan Ningzhen hadn't taken him out of the city, he would have been buried in the Northern Barbarian Imperial Court if he hurt his face and encountered heavy snow.

In Fox City, he needs to be cautious, more cautious, and watch every step he takes. After all, he is alone and fighting against the odds, and there may be a life-or-death crisis one day.

"Brother Xiao... I can't help him." Xie Jue's eyes were moist and red, "He died for me."

The suggestion was his. Du Fang, Xiao Jinghong and he all knew that this dead end should have been his. He said this because of Du Fang's heart.

Du Fang said, "I can't blame you. We are all loyal to the prince. No one expected such an accident on New Year's Eve."

"Where is Brother Xiao buried? Let me pay homage properly and drink a few glasses of sake with him."

"The king threw his body into the snowy mountains, where it was eaten by vultures and no bones were left." Du Fang sighed, "The prince wanted to collect his body, but was stopped. Otherwise, he would have been punished."

Xie Jue's hair stood on end. In the Fox City of the Northern Barbarians, the Northern Barbarian King was the imperial edict. No one could resist what he said or did.

After the two kings returned to the palace, Xie Jue went to see him and sued him, saying that he should not have played with Lan Ningzhen outside the city for a few days and delayed important events in the palace. He asked the two kings to punish him.The two kings looked at Xie Jue with gloomy eyes. Xie Jue was trying to alienate the eldest prince. The six kings had indeed helped him a lot and seized most of the power and territory before the eldest prince returned to the city. Several major tribes also helped him. He made plans to win over the forces.

But Xiao Jinghong stayed in the mansion for a longer time, and he had hard work without credit. He was killed on New Year's Eve, and the two kings were eager to find him to discuss countermeasures. Du Fang was so frightened that he did not dare to do anything and could only advise the two kings. Wait and see what happens, first calm the anger of the Northern Barbarian King and let him know that the princes are still united.

The second king angrily reprimanded him, knowing that his suggestion was right, but after Xiao Jinghong died, he just wanted to take revenge severely. He broke one arm and wanted the king to break another arm. Xie Jue was not around at this time. In the mansion, they were actually traveling around the mountains and rivers, which made the two kings very angry.
