The little princess was torn, and the demon emperor patched her up

Chapter 56 Are You Planning to Eat These Two Fish?
Xiao Baojing grabbed the corner of Xiao Wumian's sleeve.

Ji Wen...

He used love to lure the woman into the Ji family's ancestral home, deprived her of the treasure she depended on for survival, and unscrupulously plotted to murder her.

His official career was not built up by political achievements, and the prosperity and tranquility of his hometown was not obtained by legitimate means. He obtained all this by stepping on the flesh and blood of Princess Wumian.

It's like the classic problem: you're driving a train and you come to a fork in the tracks. There are five kids playing on the track you should take, but there's only one kid on the other track.

Sacrifice five people and sacrifice one person.

At this time, what should you choose?
She also didn't know whether Ji Wen was right or wrong.

But she knew that in marriage, Ji Wen was a terrible man.

The onlookers looked at each other in bewilderment.

They are the beneficiaries of this conspiracy.

They had no right to accuse Ji Wen, nor could they denounce Princess Wumian. They could only choose to remain silent.

The sky was covered with leaden clouds, and the surface of the river was cold and pale.

Xiao Wumian stared at Ji Wen.

She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but no sound came out.

Shang Bingjiu moved the puppet on the stage, imitating Xiao Wumian's tone, and said leisurely: "Why didn't you ask me first?"

Ji Wen was stunned.

"Why didn't you tell me the truth about Xiangshui County? Why didn't you ask me if I was willing to give you the bronze mirror?"

Ji Wen's face turned pale: "That mirror is your life. You are the princess of the royal family, so you cherish your life. How can you give it to me so easily?!"

"What if I do?"

The long street was silent, with only the sound of flags blowing in the wind.

Ji Wen refuted sharply: "There is no way you can agree to this! You are of noble birth, born with endless wealth and splendor, how could you be willing to lose your life for the lowly people in your eyes?! You deliberately said these words, do you want me to regret it?! I tell you, Xiao Wumian, I, Ji Wen, never regret anything I do!"

Xiao Baojing saw a tear flow from the corner of Princess Wumian's eye.

She looked at Ji Wen who looked flustered again.

She guessed that maybe Princess Wumian overestimated Ji Wen's feelings for her, while Ji Wen underestimated Princess Wumian's love for him.

Xiao Wumian appeared in mid-air.

She stopped outside the tall building, spread her wide sleeves, and grabbed Ji Wen in front of her through the air.

Ji Wen was in a panic: "You...what do you want to do?!"

Xiao Wumian slowly approached him.

She looked at the old and solemn face in front of her.

Ji Wen’s face turned pale.

This old man, who had been maneuvering in the court for forty years, finally felt fear when the cold river wind blew in his face.

His lips moved, but no words of begging for mercy came out.

He looked at Xiao Wumian's cold face. His old and turbid face was clearly reflected in her amber pupils.

The cold wind condensed a layer of frost and snow on the ends of his hair, which looked like white hair.

He is old, a lot older.

But what he thought of was not his impending death.

He thought of the warm spring breeze in Yejing, where the little princess was holding a yellow kite and smiling like a silver bell: "The third place winner never likes to laugh. He is so serious at such a young age. What will he do when he gets older? He will scare the children to tears!"

She stretched out her hand to rub his brows: "Tanhua Lang, don't become an old man that children hate in the future!"

The girl's fingers are soft and tender, like blooming petals.

For a moment, Ji Wen thought of Xiao Wumian's thin and bony hands that he had chopped off.

Frost and snow spread all over his body.

His stiff shoulders drooped completely, and he seemed to have aged ten years.

He is no longer the high-spirited prime minister, but more like an ordinary old man at this moment.

His voice was particularly hoarse and low: "After all, I am sorry for you. I owe you a life. If you want my life, just take it."

"Master Xiang!"

The officials in the tall building spoke out anxiously.

Princess Wumian's eyes were red and she suddenly swung her wide sleeves.

Ji Wen was frozen from head to toe into an ice sculpture. He suddenly fell from mid-air and hit the middle of the street, breaking into countless pieces.

"Tsk."

Shang Bingjiu jumped to the side in disgust and brushed off the ice chips that splashed on his sleeves.

Xiao Wumian got his revenge and bowed deeply to Xiao Baojing and Shang Bingjiu.

She stared blankly in the direction of Yejing, her figure gradually becoming transparent until it completely disappeared in the air.

The drifting snowflakes turned into drizzle.

"Sister Diji..."

Xiao Baojing called out softly.

She stretched out her palm, and the raindrops falling on her palm were warm to the bone, like tears.

The officials who witnessed the whole process wiped the sweat from their foreheads, quickly ordered the guards to clean up the mess, and returned to the government office to write memorials to the emperor.

Something happened here.

Xiao Baojing picked up the coffin board again and walked to Shang Bingjiu: "Peddler."

The little girl was in a low mood.

The crane feather pinned in her hair was also limp.

As she walked over, she saw a bronze mirror fallen from the makeshift stage.

"It's Sister Diji's bronze mirror."

She picked it up, turned it over, and saw that there were indeed two fish-shaped grooves on the back.

Shang Bingjiu looked at the waterfall in the distance.

Above the waterfall stand two huge bronze fish.

He suddenly said, "I'm hungry."

"You always complain of being hungry..." Xiao Baojing was annoyed, "But you never eat more than two bowls of rice when you eat."

"I'm going to go get my payment."

"Reward? What reward?"

Shang Bingjiu didn't answer her.

He shook the mountain ghost bracelet on his wrist, and the ancient runes on the copper coins flowed from him to the waterfall, forming a complex spell that directly destroyed the entire formation.

The two bronze fish instantly broke free from their cages and jumped off the waterfall, swinging their tails!

They seemed to have seen an extremely terrifying existence and were about to dive into the water to escape, but were sucked to the center of the street by a powerful and terrifying suction force.

The huge bronze fish turned into a small bronze fish about an inch long, which struggled and was caught by Shang Bingjiu.

Xiao Baojing opened his eyes wide: "You, you, you are not planning to eat these two fish?!"

Shang Bingjiu curved his fox eyes and said, "They are delicious."

"But--"

Xiao Baojing was about to speak when a muffled thunder suddenly sounded from the dark cloudy sky, and in a breath, heavy rain poured down!

She quickly held up the paper umbrella and grabbed Shang Bingjiu's arm: "But aren't these two fish the core of the formation? If you eat them, won't Xiangshui County be flooded again?! Listen to me, peddler, let's not eat this fish. The bronze material will break your teeth. Let's go back to the ruined temple and I'll make you some fresh fish soup!"

Two bronze fish were slithering.

Before Shang Bingjiu could answer, they escaped from his palm and hid in the groove of the bronze mirror.

The worn-out bronze mirror, originally covered with verdigris and rust, instantly looked brand new.

It is a golden bronze mirror with intricate hibiscus carvings, and the bronze fish inlaid on the back, one yin and one yang, are lifelike.

A collapsed fairyland can be vaguely seen in the mirror, with two bronze fish swimming in it, slowly repairing the broken mountains and waters.

Xiao Baojing couldn't help but exclaim: "This mirror is really magical!"

Shang Bingjiu put his hands in his pockets: "Like?"

"I like them..." Xiao Baojing hugged the bronze mirror tightly and looked at the gradually rising Xiangshui River. Although he was reluctant, he still said generously, "Forget it, we can't take them away, otherwise Xiangshui County will be finished."

"Without them, something else will naturally become the new core of the formation." Shang Bingjiu said in a low voice, and suddenly lowered his head and rested his head on Xiao Baojing's neck, "I'm so hungry."

The girl's neck has a faint fragrance.

He extended his fangs, restrained his strength, and bit Xiao Baojing's neck.
