Traveling through the Immortal Realm: Starting from Becoming a Top-Level Furnace Cauldron
Chapter 372 Selling one’s body to bury one’s father
Qin Palace.
The hall is solemn.
"King Ling Qi Wei, without authorization, used the royal guards to break into people's homes at night, harassing the civilians. Furthermore, he failed to effectively pursue the fugitive, resulting in the kidnapping of a Zhao State criminal in Hairen Valley!"
The Imperial Censor's voice was loud and resounding, "This act is against the law and disturbs your Majesty. We implore Your Majesty to punish severely!"
Several ministers came forward to echo his sentiments.
"I second the proposal!"
"Your Highness the Spirit King's actions are truly inappropriate!"
"It really damages the royal family's reputation!"
……
On the Dragon Throne.
The face of the King of Qin was hidden behind the tassel beads and could not be seen clearly. Only a low voice could be heard.
"Qi Wei."
"What do you have to say?"
Qi Wei stood in the hall, his dark royal robe making his complexion look even whiter.
He lowered his eyes slightly, his expression calm and a hint of boredom on his face: "Since everyone says so, I have nothing to say."
His voice was light, as if he was not the one being impeached.
The King of Qin was silent for a moment. "Since you have nothing to say, then you must admit it. You are to blame for the capture of the Zhao prisoners."
"From now on."
"I am exiled to Xicheng, stationed at the border, and cannot return to the capital without an imperial decree."
As soon as the decree was given, the whole hall fell silent.
West City.
It was the bitter cold land in the westernmost part of the Qin Dynasty, with yellow sand filling the sky and the people being fierce and tough.
To say it is a garrison is no different from exile.
Qi Wei's face showed no sign of emotion. He slowly bowed and said, "I accept your command."
*
The sky outside the palace gate was gloomy.
The eunuch in charge followed behind Qi Wei, with cold sweat on his forehead, not daring to breathe.
Speaking of what happened today, it is indeed related to him.
If the Crown Prince of Qin had not asked him to cooperate in reporting the matter, how could he have reported the matter to the King of Qin?
Now that it's done, he has lost his usefulness to the Crown Prince of Qin.
If King Xiao Ling would give in to him.
You'll probably lose your head.
"correct."
Qi Wei suddenly stopped, turned his head, and raised the corner of his lips. "My father treats me like this, my brother must be very happy, right?"
The eunuch in charge shuddered and dropped to his knees. "Your Majesty, please be careful with your words! Your Highness the Crown Prince... I dare not make any rash assumptions!"
Qi Wei sneered, walked forward and stopped looking at him.
“…boring.”
*
The carriage was driving on the slightly deserted street.
Qi Wei closed his eyes and rested.
I don't know where the little chef went. I turned the whole sky upside down but couldn't find him. I think he must have escaped a long time ago.
"Your Majesty."
The secret guards were squatting nearby.
Qi Wei slowly opened his eyes and twirled his sleeve with his right hand: "Where is King Zhao?"
"Your Highness, the King of Zhao has secretly fled back to the State of Zhao. He is now under the control of He Yajun. No one else will discover him."
"very good."
Qi Wei pursed his lips in satisfaction and said, "Find Prince Zhao as soon as possible and don't let Brother Wang catch him."
"promise."
After the secret guard left the carriage, Qi Wei began to ponder again.
The war with Zhao State is over. Apart from my father, the happiest person is probably my brother.
General Wang Jian did not say it openly, but he had already informed his brother Wang in private. It was not uncommon for his subordinates to interact with each other.
The conquest of Zhao State was not only Wang Jian’s achievement, I’m afraid his brother Wang also benefited from it.
"King Zhao..."
Qi Wei's cold eyes fixed on him. "I wonder if you can seize this opportunity to make a comeback."
The thoughts were pulled back.
When he thought about how he was disturbed by Lu Yuguan, he felt very ashamed and angry.
He is obviously a cook, but he plays tricks on him again and again.
This made Qi Wei very angry.
"what!……"
"Oh my goodness!... Why are you walking so fast?"
"The tonic left us..."
Suddenly, a suppressed cry came into my ears.
Qi Wei couldn't help but frown and lifted the car curtain. "What's going on outside? Why is it so noisy?"
The driver replied, "Your Highness, they are... a group of people who sold themselves to bury their fathers."
group?
Qi Wei raised his eyebrows.
But I saw several people wearing coarse white clothes kneeling on the ground, crying miserably. Behind them was a dilapidated cart, on which lay a person covered with a white cloth.
The silhouette outlined under the white cloth seemed to be missing the left arm.
"parking."
Qi Wei said lightly.
The eunuch in charge quickly followed: "Your Highness, what... is going on?"
Qi Wei glanced at those people.
The leader was a young girl with red and swollen almond-shaped eyes and dust on her face.
As soon as she saw Qi Wei, she cried even harder.
"Wuwuwu... My dear gentleman, please be kind..."
"My father...he died...and we don't have money for his burial..."
She pointed at the cart and continued crying, "My brothers and sisters want to sell ourselves to bury our father..."
The eunuch in charge frowned and shrilled, "Selling yourself to bury your father? It's fine if it's just one person, but why so many people?"
The girl sobbed and kowtowed.
"They are all my brothers..."
"My brain isn't working very well..."
"If I leave on my own, they will definitely not survive..."
"Please have mercy on us, my lord, and take us in!"
Qi Wei looked behind her and saw that her brothers all had their own unique looks, which was really a bit strange.
A man covered in dust and with dull eyes.
A man with cross-eyes, a crooked mouth, and a silly grin with drooling eyes.
Another one lowered his head, his shoulders trembling slightly, and cried until he stopped crying.
Qi Wei looked at the corpse on the cart. It was covered tightly with white cloth, and only the outline of the missing arm was obvious.
"It's pitiful."
"In that case... then follow me."
The eunuch in charge was shocked: "Your Highness, their origins are unknown..."
However, Qi Wei glanced over and the eunuch in charge immediately fell silent.
"Thank you, noble man!"
"Thank you, noble man!"
The girl cried with joy and quickly pulled her brothers to kowtow.
Qi Wei didn't look at them any more and turned to get on the carriage: "Make arrangements and take them back to the mansion."
"Yes……"
The eunuch had no choice but to order the guards to include the cart and these people in the team.
The carriage moved on.
At the end of the team, the cart followed with a creaking sound.
"Xiaoya..."
"Can we get up now?"
"My knee hurts..."
Shangguan Qi said sourly.
Zi Xiaoya rolled her eyes at him and said, "The Liuyun Sect can't even kneel down? Can't they even tolerate such a small matter?"
"Ugh……"
Shangguan Qi pouted, moved her body, and shifted her center of gravity to make herself feel better.
That's right.
The one crying with his head down was Lu Yuguan.
The one drooling was Shangguan Qi.
The one covered in dust and dirt was Zhao Zimo.
As for the deceased father on the cart, it was naturally Li Chonglin who was unconscious due to excessive blood loss. Little Zhima was also huddled quietly under the white cloth.
Zi Xiaoya secretly pinched Shangguan Qi and lowered her voice: "Shut up and be more professional!"
"I didn't expect it to go so smoothly..."
"Has Qi Wei become stupid after losing his memory?"
Lu Yuguan curled his lips.
Zhao Zimo whispered, "It's better to be cautious. We'll act according to the situation."
Their plan is simple.
Sneak into Qi Wei's team, first find an opportunity to heal Li Chonglin's injury, then find a way to kidnap Qi Wei to see if he can restore his memory!
Lu Yuguan turned his head and looked at Li Chonglin.
I kissed him last night, but I don't know if it helped, he's been unconscious ever since.
Not to mention the severed arm.
