When Zhi Ning heard what Tuo Ling Duo said, she trembled in fear and quickly covered the baby's ears.
It was a great sin for a woman's voice to enter the baby's ears.
Zhi Ning looked at Zhi Li quietly and said, "I've heard it. The king is dead. I know what you want to do. I have no problem with you using the baby to threaten Søren. I'm even willing to cooperate. Whether you want me to write a letter or write a letter of blood, I'll do it. But if you want to hurt the child, kill me first, or let me know so that I can kill myself. A mother who can't even protect her own child has no right to live in this world. "
Fang Qingzhuo also came forward and said, "Husband, I don't care what you're doing or what you're planning to do. I have no problem with you using the baby to threaten Søren. As long as you don't hurt the baby, I'm willing to cooperate. Even if you kill the king and take the throne, I'm willing to stand by your side and be your queen. "
These words calmed Zhi Li's fervent heart. He stared coldly at Tuo Ling Duo and then his gaze softened. "You're thinking too much. This is my nephew. I can't wait to dote on him. How could I bear to hurt him?"
Zhi Li wasn't that stupid. He wasn't as twisted as Tuo Ling Duo and wouldn't use such a bloody and ruthless method from the start.
Things had to be done bit by bit. The threat to Søren had to be increased bit by bit.
First, he sent a letter with the baby's fetal hair.
If Søren didn't compromise, then he had to be a little more violent and draw some blood.
Immediately, Zhi Li came forward and gently stroked the baby's little head. "The baby is more than one year old. He hasn't had his fetal hair cut yet. It's time to cut it."
When the baby's head was touched by Zhi Li's hand, Zhi Ning felt waves of disgust. It was as if she had been licked by a poisonous snake.
"Okay, I'll cut the baby's hair." Fang Qingzhuo quickly said, "Zhi Ning, hold the baby tight!"
Zhi Ning sat on the chair, holding the baby steadily.
Fang Qingzhuo took out a dagger and carefully shaved off a long tuft of hair at the back of the baby's head.
Both women were very distressed. The baby was more than a year old, and the fetal hair was soft and long. There was a hint of red in the black, and it was extremely cute.
Every time, Fang Qingzhuo and Zhi Ning liked to stroke and kiss the baby's hair.
After giving it a pinch, Fang Qingzhuo put it in her palm and said to Zhi Li, "Husband, this should be enough, right?"
Zhi Li nodded and said, "Yes, Xiao Ning, write a letter to Søren."
"Okay." Zhi Ning was very cooperative.
Zhi Li took out a piece of white paper and handed it to Zhi Ning.
Zhi Ning did not use a pen. She directly bit her finger and wrote on the white paper with her blood: Søren, your son is in the hands of my brother, Zhi Li. I hope that you will think of your son's safety before you make any decisions, Zhi Ning!
After writing, Zhi Ning handed the letter in blood to Zhi Li.
Zhi Li wrapped it in an envelope and put the baby's hair into the envelope!
Then, after a little hesitation, he decided to leave Zhi Ning, her son, and Fang Qingzhuo in Fengdu Holy Temple. This was the safest place, and they would not be rescued by Gao Yin and the others.
"It's very chaotic outside now, and it's not safe. You should stay here. If you need anything, just let me know," Zhi Li said gently.
"Okay." Fang Qingzhuo's voice was also very gentle.
Zhi Li looked at Fang Qingzhuo's voluptuous body, and his heart was burning.
After sleeping with all the women in the world and living apart from his wife for a few months, he still felt that his wife, Fang Qingzhuo, was the most alluring woman in the world.
Especially compared to Turin Duo beside him, his wife, Fang Qingzhuo, was probably the most perfect woman in the world.
She was graceful, gentle, and kind. Although her appearance was not as glamorous as Gui Qinshao's, she was still very dignified and elegant.
Unfortunately, time was of the essence. Otherwise, Zhi Li would really want to have sex with his wife before leaving.
He glared at his wife, Fang Qingzhuo's round butt, and Zhi Li turned to leave.
After he left, the two women in the secret room almost went limp, as if they had lost all their strength.
The whole process was very smooth. Many of Zhi Li's requests were not made, and the two women immediately complied obediently.
There was no sarcasm or abuse. Fang Qingzhuo and Zhi Ning became as obedient as sheep.
But in their hearts, Zhi Li was already dead!
"Zhi Li, the day you forcefully ascend to the throne will be the day you die! As your wife, I will personally send you on your way! "Fang Qingzhuo comforted the baby as she made up her mind.
When Zhi Li ascended to the throne, all the ministers, and even the people from the Dragon Temple would be present!
When Fang Qingzhuo exposed the secret of Zhi Li's evil demon blood, no one in the world would be able to protect him. Zhi Li would definitely die!
Even though he was her husband, he was not fit to be a human anymore.
Today, he could hurt his nephew, and tomorrow, he could hurt his biological daughter.
Such an animal did not deserve to live in this world anymore.
…
Walking out of the tower, Zhi Li immediately saw two people, a High Priest and a Grand Inquisitor.
The Dragon Temple of the Raging Wave Kingdom had a two-leader system, the Holy Priest and the Grand Inquisitor. Below them were four High Priests and the Grand Inquisitor.
These eight people formed the top of the power pyramid of the Dragon Temple of the Raging Wave Kingdom.
Under the infiltration of Zhi Li and the Hidden Island for years, half of these eight people became absolute supporters of Zhi Li.
After Zhi Li's defeat, two people slightly alienated Zhi Li. But there were still two people who continued to firmly support Zhi Li.
Because these two people could not be separated from Zhi Li. They had received too many benefits from Zhi Li, and Zhi Li had too much information on these two people. Once it was exposed, it would be a huge scandal.
"Your Highness Zhi Li, the Grand Inquisitor wants to see you," one of the High Priests said.
Søren's expression changed, and he revealed an indescribable excitement.
He had been hiding in the Fengdu Temple for more than 14 hours. The Holy Priest Ge Li was not there, and the Grand Inquisitor Rogge knew that he was in the Fengdu Temple, but he acted as if he did not know and did not receive him.
This made Zhi Li very uneasy. The reason why he dared to assassinate the king and forcefully ascend the throne was largely because of the support of the Dragon Temple.
Now that he had successfully assassinated the king, he was immediately received by Rogge.
Under the guidance of a Grand Inquisitor, Zhi Li went to see Rogge. However, he did not go to Rogge's Inquisition Hall, but to Fu Lingxi's castle.
It seemed that the rumors were true. The relationship between Rogge and Fu Lingxi was indeed unclear.
…
In the secret underground chamber of Fu Lingxi's castle, Zhi Li saw Rogge, the Supreme Martial Artist whose status was comparable to the king.
The beautiful and graceful Fu Lingxi was standing behind him, gently making tea for him.
"Zhi Li, I have never seen you before," Rogge said immediately.
"Of course." Zhi Li said, "I am in the southern border city now. I will only enter Royal City tomorrow when I receive news of the king's death. Of course you have never seen me before."
Rogge stared coldly at Zhi Li and said, "You are really crazy. You actually dared to assassinate the king! Our Dragon Temple will definitely not cooperate with a lunatic. "
Zhi Li said, "I did not assassinate the king. His Majesty has long passed away. It is just that in order to protect Søren, he has kept it a secret. I am currently in the southern border city, so how can I assassinate the king? The security around the king is very tight, so how can anyone assassinate him? "
Rogge obviously understood Zhi Li's words. He sneered and said, "Tonight, the entire Royal City is shaken. Sounds of killing filled the air from the direction of the palace. Who knows how many people saw the assassin rush out of the palace gates. "
Zhi Li said, "This is all a self-directed and self-acted trick by Søren. Now that he has won, the news of the king's death can be made public. However, if he can frame the crime of regicide on me, he will have a reason to remove me from my position as young emperor and execute me. "
Rogge said, "You committed adultery with Tu Lingduo and murdered Tu Liyang. This alone is enough to remove you from your position as young emperor."
"Yes." Zhi Li said, "But I cannot be executed. My father, Bi Lan, died without a clear reason. So, Bi Bian will have the bad reputation of killing his brother for the rest of his life. As a woman, Jung Yeon naturally cannot bear such a crime. But if she were to pin the crime of regicide on me, she would be able to justifiably sentence me to death! "
"Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the world?" Rogge said.
Zhi Li said, "The world has laughed enough. After I become the king, so what if I have a bad reputation? It's fine as long as people are afraid of me."
Rogge said, "If you forcefully ascend the throne, aren't you afraid that Søren will lead his army into Royal City and tear you to pieces?"
Zhi Li said, "Coincidentally, Søren's son is in my hands. He is a person who loves his family very much and will not dare to act rashly. Moreover, his army is a few thousand miles away from Royal City. It will take at least a month to travel. By that time, I will have ascended the throne for a long time. The feudal lords and nobles will be able to pick a side again. One is the powerful and domineering Søren, the other is the infamous Zhi Li. The nobles and feudal lords are already at odds with Søren. I feel that they are willing to stand on my side. At most, there will be a king in the east and a king in the west. "
If it was really as Zhi Li said, there would be a king in the east and a king in the west. The entire Raging Wave Kingdom would be split into two.
Then, the Raging Wave Kingdom would fall from one of the four hegemons to a second or third-rate country because of the constant civil war. When the Yelan Principality regained its peace, it might even be able to bully the Raging Wave Kingdom.
At that time, the foundation that the Nie ancestors spent hundreds of years to build would be completely ruined. It would return to how it was a hundred years ago in one night.
Even the title of a kingdom would be lost and it would fall back to a duchy.
However, Zhi Li's tone showed that he did not care at all.
Rogo said coldly, "I still stand by what I said. The Dragon Temple will not associate itself with a lunatic. After you forcefully ascended the throne, before you receive the support of most of the feudal lords and nobles, the Dragon Temple will definitely not express its support for you. "
"I understand!" Zhi Li said, "After I ascended the throne, my first order was for the Dragon Temple to bear a greater responsibility in maintaining the stability of the kingdom. Therefore, the Temple Army needs to be increased from fifty thousand to one hundred thousand!"
Rogo's gaze trembled!
One hundred thousand Temple Army was equivalent to two hundred thousand elite troops of the Raging Wave Kingdom.
However, Rogo still did not speak.
Zhi Li said, "Also, the Dragon Temple needs to have a larger land so that it can nurture more believers. Furthermore, we can establish a special Temple region in some places. All the ruling power in the territory will belong to the Dragon Temple! "
This time, Rogo's heart was trembling.
In order to sit on the throne, Zhi Li sold out the kingdom without any bottom line.
Not only did he double the military strength of the Dragon Temple, but he also began to cede large areas of land.
Rogo pretended to be indifferent and said, "After forcefully ascending the throne, we will talk about it after a period of chaos."
Zhi Li said, "Then, may I ask how long this period of chaos will be?"
Rogo said, "I still need to discuss with the Holy Priest and report to the Temple of the Sky. However, I think it will be around a month."
"Thank you, Lord Rogo." Zhi Li bowed!
…
Prime Minister Yan Wuji's residence!
Because he was older and had to deal with political affairs, Prime Minister Yan Wuji did not follow Zhi Li to crusade against Søren.
The entire cabinet and the officials of the six ministries stayed in Monarch City.
They originally thought that Zhi Li's crusade against Søren was in the bag and there would not be any accidents.
This was because Søren was already the target of public condemnation.
However, they did not expect that the one to be the target of the scandal was Zhi Li.
What was even more unexpected was that Zhi Li, who had 900,000 troops, suffered a crushing defeat!
This news was like a bolt from the blue to the high-ranking officials who stayed in Monarch City. After confirming that Zhi Li was defeated, almost all the high-ranking officials prepared to switch sides.
In an instant, the originally deserted Duke Yan Ting's residence became as crowded as a marketplace.
In just two days, Duke Yan Ting received more than 100,000 gold coins as a tribute!
After all, Yan Ting was the only representative of Jung Yeon's camp in Monarch City.
As the Prime Minister of the kingdom, Yan Wuji and Turin Tuo were known as the two pillars of the kingdom. Even Young Master Zhi Li would respectfully call him teacher every time they met!
Usually, Yan Wuji would not care about the good-for-nothing Duke Yan Ting.
However, after the news of Zhi Li's defeat spread, Yan Wuji personally visited Duke Yan Ting with 10,000 gold notes and addressed him as a student. His attitude was extremely respectful.
Duke Yan Ting looked like a pig, but his heart was clear. He knew who he could accept gifts from and who he could not.
Søren already had Yan Wuzhi, so there was no place for Yan Wuji. Moreover, Yan Wuji had offended Søren too much. His disciples and disciples had spread malicious rumors about Søren. Søren would never forgive him.
Hence, Duke Yan Ting was very polite to Yan Wuji, but before he left, he returned the 10,000 gold notes.
Yan Wuji's heart was completely cold. He knew that he no longer had a place on Søren's side. This was unforgivable.
Hence, he was in a constant state of anxiety. He did not even go to the cabinet and stayed at home, claiming that he was sick.
Once Jung Yeon ascended to the throne, his position as prime minister would definitely be in danger. Even his life would be in danger.
However, tonight, the king was assassinated. This caused an earth-shattering upheaval.
Prime Minister Yan Wuji felt his body trembling. His limbs were cold, without any warmth.
He smelled an incomparably dangerous scent, but he also smelled a sliver of opportunity.
If he succeeded, he would continue to be the prime minister. If he failed, he would be crushed into pieces. Not only would he die, but his entire family would be wiped out. Except for Yan Wuzhi's family.
Moreover, the probability of success was only 20%, and the probability of failure was 80%.
At this moment, a figure appeared in front of Yan Wuzhi. He lifted his hood. It was Zhi Li?
Prime Minister Yan Wuji trembled. His body stiffened, and he could not make a sound.
Zhi Li said, "The king died long ago, but his funeral was kept a secret. Tonight, Sauron, in his frenzied madness, created the illusion that the king was assassinated and tried to pin the crime on me. As a pillar of the kingdom, Prime Minister must uphold justice. "
Prime Minister Yan Wuji instantly understood Zhi Li's words.
He wanted to make use of the power of public opinion to spread the news, forcefully distorting the truth and distorting the truth.
Then, he would use the name of the cabinet to invite Zhi Li to enter the capital and ascend to the throne!
Yan Wuji closed his eyes in pain. Even an idiot would not be fooled by such an absurd rumor.
Zhi Li said, "Prime Minister, you want to say that even an idiot would not be fooled by such an absurd rumor, right?"
Yan Wuji nodded.
Feng Li said, "You can't fool fools, but you can fool smart people!"
Yan Wuji was stunned. Indeed.
Smart people only looked at the pros and cons. Why would they care about truth? Coincidentally, the power of the kingdom was in the hands of smart people.
However, this was still a path of death!
Feng Li said, "Chief Inquisitor Rodrigo has already expressed his willingness to support me. Søren's flesh and blood are in my hands. Even if he is furious, he would not dare to act rashly. Yan Wuji, you have no other choice! Everyone else can surrender to Søren, but you cannot. Søren already has Yan Wuzhi. There is no place for you there. "
Yan Wuji's voice trembled. "But … if I really do that and fail, my entire family will be wiped out."
Feng Li said indifferently, "Even if you don't do this, your entire clan will be annihilated, and it will be annihilated before dawn."
Yan Wuji looked at Zhi Li in disbelief at such a blatant threat. This student Zhi Li, who was so respectful to him, was threatening to wipe out his entire family?
Prime Minister Yan Wuji sighed. This was good too. It saved him the trouble of being in a dilemma. He had no other choice.
Even if it was a path of death, he had to keep going!
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Prime Minister Yan Wuji said, "I know what to do. I will definitely expose Søren's despicable actions to the world. Your Highness is in the southern border city. The country cannot go a day without a ruler. Please return to Monarch City as soon as possible, Your Highness Zhi Li! "
This was ridiculous. Zhi Li was in Monarch City, but Yan Wuji said he was in the southern border city.
They were all award-winning actors!
Zhi Li was very touched. "I am in the southern border city now. I will leave everything in Monarch City to you. I hope you can send me a letter as soon as possible so I can return to Monarch City as soon as possible. "
"Definitely," Prime Minister Yan Wuji said.
Zhi Li said, "My armed forces in Monarch City will listen to your orders. They will kill whoever you tell them to kill."
Yan Wuji thought to himself, If I don't listen to you, then my entire clan will be the ones to be killed.
Zhi Li said, "Prime Minister is indeed a pillar of the country. The Raging Wave Kingdom has always been a country where the scholars are inferior to the military. This is very abnormal. Why is Turingtuo a Duke and the Prime Minister a mere Viscount? When I become the Queen, I will set things right. I will confer the title of Duke to the Prime Minister! "
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yan Wuji knelt.
Zhi Li said, "Then, when can I enter Monarch City and become the King?"
Yan Wuji said, "The country cannot go a day without a ruler. Tomorrow, I will borrow a griffin from the Dragon Temple and head to the southern border city to invite Your Highness back to the capital. The day after, I will invite Your Highness to become the King!"
Zhi Li sighed. "Sigh! This is too urgent. The country cannot be delayed for even a day! Alright, the day after tomorrow! "
Fang Qingzhuo had already made up her mind. The day Zhi Li became the King would be the day he died!
