He did not expect that one wrong move would result in a complete defeat.
In the end, he fell into his own trap.
He suddenly looked at Su Ziluo as if he was holding on to the last rope. His face twisted into a sinister smile, and his eyes revealed a cruel glint. "This situation is all because of your father! “
Su Ziluo's eyes narrowed. "What do you mean?"
"When your father died in battle, it was because we arranged a secret army. They received orders from us to kill your father as soon as the army was defeated! Those four arrows … they were shot by us! A defeated army is a bandit, you deserve to die! "
'Ah!'
"It was to guard against your Su family that we embarked on this path of no return."
His voice was low and resounding, echoing throughout the imperial study.
Su Ziluo's expression suddenly changed. The truth struck him like a bolt of lightning. The condensed breath in his chest suddenly rushed out of his mouth and spurted out a mouthful of blood.
"Puff!"
Blood splattered all over the floor.
It dyed his robe red.
"Ziluo." Li Shiyan rushed over and crouched beside his wheelchair. He was extremely worried. Su Ziluo clutched his chest as he weakly leaned to the side. His eyes were bloodshot and filled with tears of blood. The sudden revelation of the truth had greatly shaken him. In addition to his sickly body, his meridians were all severed, leaving him with only a thin mouth.
His breath was weak.
The accumulated power of hatred had allowed him to walk to this day despite being sickly all year round. But now, all of it had turned into nothingness.
He was like a deflated balloon.
He had hated the Wen family for many years, and in order to take revenge on Ji Li, he almost lost his life in Great Lin.
Because he could not let go of the hatred in his heart, he left Ji Yunshu and lost the person he loved the most in his life.
In the end, he took revenge on the wrong person and hated the wrong person.
The one who killed his father was the Son of Heaven!
He laughed miserably as blood continuously flowed out of his mouth. His voice trembled as he said, "I didn't expect that your Su family would become Xiao He … and also lose to Xiao He."
His laughter reverberated in the air like a heart-wrenching pain.
Li Shiyan grasped his hand. "Ziluo?"
"Puff!"
He vomited another mouthful of blood.
The King of Qujiang laughed in satisfaction. "Su Ziluo, ah, Su Ziluo, even if we lose, you will accompany us in death."
Su Ziluo's eyes were bloodshot, and hatred filled his heart. He endured the pain all over his body and used his last breath to activate the mechanism on the wheelchair. An iron rope flew out from the wooden scabbard on the handle and went straight to Qujiang King. In a flash, it wrapped around King Qujiang's waist. With the strength of the iron rope, King Qujiang's waist was pulled back.
Jiang Wang threw himself at him.
In that instant, he picked up the exquisite dagger and stabbed it toward Qujiang King's heart!
Everyone was stunned.
This was especially true for Li Shiyan, who had witnessed this bloody scene from a close distance.
King Qujiang's eyes widened as blood flowed from his mouth and dripped onto Su Ziluo's shoulder.
"You …"
Su Ziluo took the opportunity to pull the dagger out.
King of Qujiang groaned in pain. Subconsciously, he clutched his sleeves tightly as his body gradually slid down to his knees in front of the wheelchair.
"This is what you owe my father!" Su Ziluo's face was gradually covered in blood, making him look extremely terrifying.
"Uh … uh …"
King Qujiang's body twitched and choked with sobs. In the end, he failed to swallow his last breath and collapsed.
He couldn't even close his eyes.
Blood flowed all over the floor.
It was a ghastly sight.
Su Ziluo spat out another mouthful of blood. The dagger in his hand fell to the ground, and his face was pale.
Li Shiyan was terrified.
Wen Che recovered from the scene in front of him and rushed to Su Ziluo's side. He crouched down and said, "Someone, go find the imperial physician!"
Su Ziluo stopped him. "It's useless! I know I can't hold on any longer. All these years, I've been living on resentment. "
His voice was weak, and his eyes were drooping.
"You'll be fine. I'll go find Uncle. He has a way to save you."
"It's too late. I can't … hold on until then."
"There's still time!"
"Now that my revenge has been avenged, I have no regrets. What is there to fear about death?" He held Wen Che's hand and smiled. "Wen Che, I never told you that I never regretted making friends with you."
"Ziluo …"
"From now on, the imperial court will depend on you." These were his last words to Wen Che.
Tears streamed down Wen Che's face. He tightly held onto Su Ziluo's hand, trying to save his life from the clutches of the King of Hell.
Li Shiyan sobbed at the side. He had never felt such pain before. "Ziluo, you said you would teach me the art of war and give me a fan. You can't go back on your words!"
"Shiyan." He weakly called out. He gasped for breath. "From now on, you must listen to the Marquis. Don't cause any more trouble. On the day you are conferred the title of Marquis, I will be happy for you in the afterlife."
"I'll listen to you. I'll listen to everything you say. I won't allow you to die!"
Su Ziluo leaned against the wheelchair. His breathing became increasingly difficult and his consciousness blurred. He mustered his last bit of strength and said with a trembling voice, "Help me tell Shu 'er, if there's an afterlife … if there's an afterlife …"
His voice gradually weakened.
The moment he closed his eyes, he seemed to see a plum blossom forest.
It was a beautiful spring day with a gentle breeze. The pink petals fluttered in the wind.
He stood under the plum blossom tree.
"Ji Pei."
A familiar voice came from not far away. He saw a woman with a face brimming with happiness running towards him.
The petals brushed past her delicate and rosy cheeks and kissed her beautiful eyes. They lingered around her like a warm breeze.
So beautiful.
It was the most beautiful scene he had ever seen.
He would never forget it.
He smiled and hugged her tightly. Then, he reached out to pluck a branch of plum blossom and inserted it into her hair bun.
"Shu 'er, if there's an afterlife, I won't go back on my words."
He would never forget the scene when the plum blossoms bloomed and the little girl running towards him.
The scene faded away bit by bit, falling into endless darkness.
Li Shiyan watched as Ji Pei's palm slowly opened. His whole body was in a daze.
"Ziluo!"
A tearing voice came from his throat, filled with extreme grief.
…
No one knew what happened in the imperial study that night. They only knew that the King of Qujiang suddenly caught a cold and passed away.
The whole of Yan Jing was hung in white.
The four sons of the King of Qin followed the edict and ascended the throne. Empress Qiu Quer also became the Empress Dowager.
On the day of the coronation, Grand Tutor Yi was imprisoned for poisoning at the bottom of the Immortal Contest Tower. All his wealth was transferred to the national treasury.
From then on, the Wen family dominated the imperial court. In order to investigate the matter of Liu Yunyan being poisoned, the Supreme Court had discovered something fishy about her poisoning. According to her maidservant, Liu Yunyan didn't want to participate in the Courtesan Competition, so she poisoned herself in the bamboo hut outside the city to make her face turn red.
What was the reason why she didn't participate?
She was already dead, so there was no way to investigate.
As for the Su family, they closed their doors on the day the new Emperor ascended the throne. It was said that the arrogant General Su had already given up on all the disturbances. From then on, he lived like a wild crane and wandered the world.
