Chapter 452 Give Me a quick death
The sky was gradually brightening, and the faint light of dawn, carrying a hint of coolness, slowly arrived. The bonfire that had just been burning brightly was extinguished by someone with a single palm strike, and the fish that was roasting deliciously flew into the fire under the pained gaze of Lord Sikong.
Di Beizun, his face slightly cold, closed the scroll in his hand and looked at Lord Sikong, "So, Xi Fenglie is not dead, and you even saved him?"
Lord Sikong shrank back slightly, glancing at him sideways. His handsome, gloomy face sent a chill down his spine.
"What's wrong? Why do you look so angry? I saved his life, and I signed this agreement with him, but I did it all for our bright future, Your Majesty! I really don't want to fight anymore!"
"Sikong Jin, are you an idiot? Xi Fenglie is very dangerous. Letting him go back is the same as letting him return to the mountains. You should understand that without me reminding you! Besides, he almost took your head back at the Wind and Rain Pavilion!"
Emperor Beizun's chilling voice rang out.
Lord Sikong shuddered subconsciously, and touched his nose somewhat guiltily. "Actually, you know in your heart why I did all this! If you were me, what would you do? If Xifeng Lie had intended to kill me, he wouldn't have given me the medicine. I personally admire him for that. I believe he will abide by the terms of the agreement. We're probably already having a headache dealing with the internal problems of the Liao Dynasty ourselves. By doing this, we're essentially making Xifeng Lie your assistant in a roundabout way. What's wrong with that? Besides, with him around, quelling those noble uprisings won't be difficult for him. Let them worry about these things themselves; we don't need to bother. This is a win-win situation!"
"Are you so certain that he can really be used by us?"
Emperor Beizun asked coldly.
Sikong Jin nodded, her eyes clear and bright. “I may not be able to guarantee anything for others, but I can be sure about Xifeng Lie! This guy admires heroism, and such people are usually the easiest to fool and coax. Your Majesty, as long as you trust me and hand him over to me, I will definitely be able to make him obediently manage the Liao Dynasty, so that you will have no worries. From now on, you only need to wait for them to send tribute and report to you.”
Sikong Jin then grinned and said, "Your Majesty is so handsome and mighty. If they don't obey, and we've had enough rest, we can always mobilize a large army from near the Jiangxi fortress to beat them up! At worst, I'll be your vanguard!"
"It's obvious that you have a special feeling for Xi Fenglie. What is it about him that you find appealing?"
A faint layer of frost touched his cold and handsome face, and Di Beizun's deep and mysterious gaze was fixed on Sikong Jin's face.
That look sent a chill down Lord Sikong's spine, causing him to instinctively shrink back. He chuckled dryly, "It's not that he's anything special, I just think he's a tough guy, his swordsmanship is quite good, and he's an upright person, much better than some scheming individuals. Personally, I quite admire him. Of course, this is a very pure admiration. Comparing him to you is like comparing a grain of sand to a pearl. Your Majesty, you are the sun I will cherish and protect throughout my life, they are just grains of sand and dust..."
"Ajin, you only say these things to me when you've done something wrong. It's the same old trick. Can't you come up with something different?"
Seeing Sikong Jin's expression, Di Beizun glared at her irritably and said coldly.
Seeing his expression, Lord Sikong knew that this guy had softened a bit, so he pressed on and quickly went to meet him, wrapping his arms around Di Beizun's arms and trying to soften his voice, "How could that be? I just took this opportunity to say what I most wanted to say to you, so that if I said it to you at a normal time, you wouldn't say that I'm not reserved. Your Majesty, in my heart you will always be the most handsome, mighty, noble and domineering god. From the first moment I saw you in Luoyang, I couldn't help but fall for you, but I just didn't realize it at the time."
Lord Sikong shamelessly uttered such cheesy confessions, mistaking cheesiness for humor. I just wonder if he'll actually enjoy hearing these words—
I've heard that women seem to like hearing these kinds of words, the more cheesy the better. I wonder if this trick will work on this guy?
However, as soon as Lord Sikong finished speaking, two black lines immediately appeared on Di Beizun's forehead. He glanced at Lord Sikong indifferently and said nothing.
Lord Sikong slowly put away the scroll in his hand, staring at him as he said, "Why are you looking at me like that? I'm telling the truth! I've never confessed to a man before, why aren't you moved at all? It's always been others who confessed to me."
"Really? I had no idea you were so devoted to me. After letting Xifeng Lie go, you even let Tuoba Yu go!"
"That's because I felt that letting them go might be better than killing them."
"You're thinking about them, aren't you? The army had just entered the city and you didn't even go to the palace, you went straight to Tuoba Yu's Crown Prince's residence. You let him go, do you really think I don't know anything?"
A hint of anger suddenly appeared on Di Beizun's cold and beautiful face. "Their dynasty was destroyed by me, and they themselves are the princes of Tiansheng and the Liao Dynasty. What you are doing is very likely to leave future troubles. I have no intention of gambling like this. It is better to end them with one stroke to avoid any complications."
"That's just your own opinion, Your Majesty. Your hands are too stained with blood. Now that the world is divided into seven parts, the problem you need to face immediately is governing the world. You can't just kill anyone you don't like with a single stroke, can you?"
Sikong Jin was also getting a little angry.
"That's another matter. What I'm talking about now is Tuoba Yu and Xifeng Lie! If we don't kill them, are we going to wait until they join forces to come after us? Or are they really that important to you that you would go so far as to let them go back to the mountains without my knowledge!"
"You...I...I can't be bothered to talk to you!"
Sikong Jin was furious and got up angrily, walking towards her horse.
"where are you going?"
Di Beizun then suppressed the anger that was about to erupt in his heart and followed.
"I can't be bothered to talk to you, you're simply unreasonable! Humph!"
Lord Sikong mounted his horse in annoyance. The quiet morning was shattered by the sound of cold hooves. Before Emperor Beizun could catch up, Lord Sikong had already spurred his horse and galloped away.
