Chapter 69: Feng Ziying

No no no.

The new Empress?

It was not necessary.

Lin Xiaocha is the kind of person who doesn't even want to be a team leader. She had no interest in power since she was a child. She wanted to make a fortune in silence and live a happy life freely.

It is said that the Empress has to work every day. It is so hard to think about. Not only does she had to work hard, but she also has to worry about being usurped. This is a high-risk industry with too much worry.

And Feng Ziying, your face is really thick. First, look at how you ruined Dongling City. You can't manage even the city. Yet, you still want to build a peaceful and prosperous nation?

Where's your confidence came from?

Thinking that Feng Nanfei was Feng Ziying's aunt, who was also good to Feng Ziying. He planned to kill her, which shows that he was extremely vicious and insidious.

This kind of person, she better stay far away.

She said, "Xiaocha doesn't want to be an Empress. An Emperor has to approve memorials every day. It's so hard. Xiaocha wants to be a favorite concubine, staying with you and assisting you with my dragon."

First comfort him, then fool him into the Ten Thousand Demon Forest, find Shang Yuan by himself, and then say goodbye to him.

Seeing her so obedient and shy, Feng Ziying laughed out loud on the city wall. His shrill cold voice was echoing in Dongling City.

Lin Xiaocha followed Feng Ziying back to Dongling City.

Everything Feng Ziying prepared for her was extremely extravagant. Dongling City was not rich, but her treatment was even more exaggerated than in Banxia City. Even the indoor warm pool for bathing covered with flower petals was big enough to be used for breaststroke, backstroke, and freestyle while bathing. She kept seeing a maid pouring hot water into it to ensure the water temperature.

When she thought of those city people outside who can't eat enough to eat, it's really a portrayal of the frozen heart of the Feng family.

In order to curb Feng Ziying's animality, she battled him with her wits and bravely after taking a bath. Finally, she stabilized Feng Ziying temporarily and slept peacefully by herself.

On the second day, she and Feng Ziying had breakfast together, a table of dishes enough for ten people, with rare demon meat from the forest.

"Try this. You could only find it in Dongling City." Then he gave her a piece of centipede meat the size of a lobster.

Lin Xiaocha wanted to puke, so she changed the subject, took a sip of the wine in the crystal glass in front of him, and put the centipede meat on Feng Ziying's dinner plate.

"City Lord, have you figured out the way to deal with Her Majesty the Empress?"

Feng Ziying looked at the centipede motionlessly and smiled, "Don't worry, I was prepared."

"Without the Phoenix, her cultivation level is not as high as those of Tianyu Mountain cultivators, but it is still very advanced. So the average person can't get close to her. The only way to assassinate her is to poison her through meals. But she is extremely cautious. Even if it's a drop of water, she must use her silver ice needle to test the poison before taking it."

He put down the chopsticks that Lin Xiaocha suspected made from some demon's horns or teeth and took out a brocade box from his storage bag. From the brocade box, he took out a long transparent needle. "At that time, she also rewarded me with one."

"I have always liked to play a game in the Ten Thousand Demon Forest. I use this silver ice needle to test poison every time. Once I ate a colorful flower ant meat, the silver needle clearly did not change color, but my whole body was still paralyzed with a sign of poisoning. Since then, I have ordered people to refine the poison in this ant meat."

He took out a very exquisite mini bottle from his storage bag. The bottle is not as big as a small fingernail, but its pattern is very three-dimensional and clear. The craftsmanship is quite exquisite. "This colorful flower ant is hard to find, and it is even more difficult to extract its toxins. It took decades to accumulate such a little bit."

He narrowed his long and narrow phoenix eyes, "But just one drop is enough to kill her."

Lin Xiaocha nodded, but she didn't want to get involved in the ghost of rebellion and seizure of power in his heart. Instead, she just wanted to meet S

Lin Xiaocha wanted to finish this breakfast as soon as possible and asked Feng Ziying to send her to the Ten Thousands Demon Forest.

But she heard the words from outside, "Report to the city lord! Her Majesty is here!"

Lin Xiaocha: !!

Does it has to be so coincidental!

Feng Ziying raised his eyebrows and put down his chopsticks. When he was about to get up, he heard voices one after another outside the door, "I have seen Her Majesty!"

He stood up suddenly and looked at Lin Xiaocha opposite to him. "Go and hide!"

Before he finished his words, Lin Xiaocha hid in the corner behind the screen. She was small and especially suitable for this kind of hide-and-seek game.

Lin Xiaocha heard Feng Ziying's respectful greeting to Feng Nanfei. Feng Ziying talked to Feng Nanfei warmly and thoughtfully. No matter how he sounded extremely filial, but Lin Xiaocha knew that he was hiding a knife in his smile, and he was ill-intentioned.

Lin Xiaocha squatted in the corner motionless, and her muscles stiffened. Was Feng Nanfei's journey was not tiring? Is she not resting?

She didn't expect Feng Nanfei not only to have no intention of taking a rest but also to get excited and ask Feng Ziying to take out the demon fox blood wine he treasured.

Demon Fox Blood Wine? Can blood be brewed?

The Feng family is really good at drinking blood.

However, some people in the wild animal black market banned by the epidemic in the modern world have said that game meat may not be delicious but is more often sold for people seeking excitement.

This Feng Ziying didn't know how to constrain himself, nor was he afraid of causing some disease to harm people.

A figure came towards her, and her heart raised to her throat. But she saw that it was Feng Ziying. The wine was placed in the cabinet behind the screen. He gave Lin Xiaocha a wink, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, Feng Nanfei is alone, and the Phoenix is ​​not there. So it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to plot against her.

But Lin Xiaocha really didn't want him to do these things. What if he encountered any danger?

So she waved her hands desperately and shook her head.

Feng Ziying ignored her. He took out the delicate pocket bottle from his arms, dropped three drops on the hip flask, and took out a pill from his arms, and took it first.

Lin Xiaocha guessed that what he was taking should be the antidote. It seemed that he was really prepared, and he would never listen to her blocking his plan.

Seeing Feng Ziying shook the flask gently and walked towards Feng Nanfei, Lin Xiaocha clasped her fingers in front of her, praying that everything would go well.

Feng Ziying gave Feng Nanfei and himself a cup of the poisoned wine, "Ziying wishes your Majesty the great prosperity of the world. I toast you first."

Feng Nanfei watched Feng Ziying drink the wine in his cup before letting the maid beside her take out the silver ice needle. She turned it clockwise and counterclockwise ten times in the glass. The maid waited for a moment. Then, after confirming that the silver ice needle did not change color, she handed the wine glass to Feng Nanfei respectfully, "Your Majesty, there is no problem."

He saw Feng Nanfei was about to put the wine glass under her lips, but she looked at a pair of empty bowls and chopsticks on the table. She put the glass down again, "Who was here before?"

Lin Xiaocha faintly felt a bad premonition behind the screen.

Feng Ziying smiled without changing his face, "Just a concubine. I have told her to retreat so as not to obstruct your Majesty's eyes."

Feng Nanfei smiled with her dignified and beautiful face. She looked at the purple-red liquid in the crystal cup and said lukewarmly, "You are really grown up, and your wings are hard. You could even lie to me. But, if it's an ordinary concubine, you are willing to give her such precious wine from your thousand-year grape rack?"

There was majesty on her face, and she said loudly, "If you don't come out, is it waiting for me to send someone to search?"

Feng Ziying's pupils shrank, "Auntie..."

Knowing that she was exposed, Lin Xiaocha took a deep breath and stood up. She rubbed her numb feet, adjusted her expression, and walked out from behind the screen.

"Your Majesty has not seen you for many days. You are getting more and more beautiful."

Feng Nanfei was not surprised to see her but gave her a cold look.

Then she glanced at Feng Ziying with her phoenix eyes, "You are getting bolder."

Feng Ziying hurriedly bowed her head and saluted, "Ziying dare not."

He started to feel hairy in his heart. Feng Nanfei's sudden arrival might not be a coincidence, but she came prepared.

She pushed the fox blood wine in front of Lin Xiaocha and said coldly, "Drink it."

Feng Ziying's pupils shrank. He was in a state of confusion, and cold sweat overflowed on his forehead. He had taken the antidote first, but Lin Xiaocha didn't!

He swallowed, "Auntie, Xiaocha can't bear the bloody smell of this demon fox wine."

"Why? She is so delicate? Or..." Feng Feiyao turned her eyes to Feng Ziying and said slowly, word by word, "Is there anything in your wine that she can't drink?"

"How is this possible?" She had just picked up the wine glass, but Feng Ziying grabbed her hand. Lin Xiaocha felt his palm cold and damp.

At this time, Feng Nanfei's eyes were already getting murderous.

Lin Xiaocha smiled, and sweetly said, "City Lord, a small cup of tea will be fine~"

She pushed Feng Ziying's hand away, pinched her nose and frowned, drank the wine in the cup.

Feng Ziying slowly closed her eyes.

This poison has been tempered so violently that it will kill people if you count to three.

He counted one, two, and three silently in his heart.

He didn't expect Lin Xiaocha to be okay and took a sip of the water next to him.

Feng Nanfei's frowning brows didn't stretch, and Feng Ziying didn't know why.

Lin Xiaocha's face remained calm, but she was thankful that she was immune to poison in her heart.

Feng Nanfei served herself another glass of wine. She put it to her lips but still looked suspicious. She handed the glass to the maid next to her.

"You drink it."

Oh, disappointment.

It's over.

...

...

In exactly three seconds, the maidservant was already dead.

The next thing was like a violent storm.

They just heard Feng Nanfei roaring, "Well, you Feng Ziying! So unbelievable!"

Feng Nanfei's golden light shook Feng Ziying into spitting a mouthful of blood. Feng Ziying's panther was about to rush out, but he saw a large number of Feng Nanfei's guards pouring into the door.

Feng Nanfei sneered, "You want to use the black panther I gave you to kill me?"

"Feng Ziying, I ruled Zhu Yun country for hundreds of years. Do you really think I would die so easily?"

Feng Ziying's black panther was shot on the spot. Feng Ziying's feminine face was bloodless, and now he became like a dead person. Lin Xiaocha was detained along with him.

Feng Nanfei slapped Feng Ziying fiercely, and her voice was extremely crisp.

"How do you think I have treated you all these years? If it weren't for me, how can you sit on the seat of the city lord?"

Instead of reflecting on himself, Feng Ziying sneered.

Feng Nanfei was even angrier and pointing to Lin Xiaocha, "I still had a glimmer of hope for you! I don't expect you to poison me for a little fairy!"

Knowing that he had no chance of surviving, Feng Ziying raised his head and looked at Feng Nanfei with a sneer, "In the eyes of my aunt, I am just trash. You have never believed that I can manage Dongling City well."

"But she is different." He turned his head to look at Lin Xiaocha next to him, "She believes that I can be a wise city lord. Only with her can I feel that I can be the person admired in the eyes of the world!"

There was a hint of warmth in his long, narrow, cold eyes. He lived for so long, but he was a walking dead. It was only when she appeared that he felt that he could see the light and live a meaningful life.

Feng Nanfei laughed loudly, "I'm heartbroken to you, but you still say a few words for her!"

Feng Ziying shook her head and said with a smile, "You don't understand men at all."

Men are born with a wolf nature.

But Feng Nanfei just wanted to raise the men around her like sheep in captivity.

In Feng Nanfei's eyes, whether it was Feng Ziying, her biological son, or her former husbands, they are all attached to her. She never wanted them to grow up, and she didn't like them to be strong. She just hoped that they would be forever attached to her.

Whether Feng Ziying, the city lord, was doing well, she didn't care at all. Only in front of Lin Xiaocha, he could release his own nature.

Feng Nanfei looked at Feng Ziying, who was kneeling in front of her, and her teeth were itchy with hate. She pointed at him and said, "I can raise you, and then I can abolish you."

A desperate smile overflowed from the corners of Feng Ziying's mouth, "I let my aunt's hair fall."

But he looked at Lin Xiaocha again, "Auntie, this matter today has nothing to do with her. It's all Ziying alone."

Feng Nanfei sneered a few times, "Do you think I will believe you?"

If she didn't take the antidote in advance, how could she be safe?

Feng Ziying was also puzzled about this, but at this moment, he had no time to find out, so he admitted, "Aunt, I gave her the medicine in advance, but she really didn't know."

Lin Xiaocha didn't expect Feng Ziying to protect her at this time.

Feng Nanfei took a deep breath and raised his chin, "Well, since you have to bear it by yourself, I will fulfill you! You really like to feed beasts with living people, so you can also taste the feeling of beasts gnawing at you!"

Lin Xiaocha's palm was squeezed with sweat, and the waves in her eyes kept trembling.

Feng Ziying didn't ask for mercy. He just broke away from the guard who was holding him, took the high hair crown off his head and put it on the ground, bowed down to Feng Nanfei, and said, "Thank you, Aunt."

Feng Nanfei sat on a chair with anger. She looked at the various mountain treasures on the table and the wine that Feng Ziying had just drunk in the crystal glass. Then, she remembered that he was the most obedient child since he was young. No matter how many rewards or punishments she gave him, he would say, "Thank you, Aunt." There were tears in her eyes.

Feng Ziying stood up and looked at Lin Xiaocha.

He smiled and said, "If you don't like to eat centipede meat, you can tell me directly. I just want to share what I like with you. If you don't eat it, I won't blame you."

A mist suddenly appeared in Lin Xiaocha's eyes, "City Lord..."

She had always deliberately catered to Feng Ziying, for fear of touching his inverse scales, for fear of offending him, and never really considered what he was thinking in depth.

"In the past two years you have left, those refugees, I have placed them well."

Lin Xiaocha's nose was a little sour, "The City Lord is so amazing..."

He paused and finally seemed to confirm a very important thing, "Do you really think I can be a good city lord?"

Lin Xiaocha nodded deliberately, "I believe it."

Lies, if they can deceive people for a lifetime, maybe better than the truth.

Feng Ziying smiled relievedly.

Feng Nanfei shook her fists. The corners of her mouth twitched, her eyes flushed, and she shouted in a trembling voice, "Take him down!"

With a smile on the corner of Feng Ziying's mouth, he let the guards take him away.

Lin Xiaocha seemed to hear the familiar roar vaguely. Then, she remembered the wolf demon he had newly captured from the Ten Thousand Demon Forest yesterday.

At that time, Feng Ziying wanted the noodle shop owner to feed the beast, but Feng Ziying himself was actually sent into the wolf demon cage in just one day.

Feng Nanfei ordered the wolf demon cage to be pushed to the market, allowing everyone to witness the fate of betraying her.

Accompanied by the screams, there were cheers from countless city residents.

In Lin Xiaocha's memory, this was the first time that the lifeless and gray Dongling City was so lively.

Feng Ziying was tyrannical and regarded human life as grass. He has fed countless people to demons and beasts. Now this fate can be regarded as a causal reincarnation, and it is not worth regretting...

However, the system announced: [The vital signs of the target Feng Ziying disappeared. The mission failed, and the 500,000 bounties was returned to zero. 】

At this time, Lin Xiaocha looked at the piece of centipede meat that Feng Ziying gave her on the plate, and the tears in her eyes still couldn't help streaming down...

Finally, Feng Nanfei came over slowly. She gritted her teeth and looked at Lin Xiaocha. "If it weren't for you, the enchantress, how could he have come this far! If it wasn't for you, I would like to throw you together in the wolf demon cage and see you being torn to pieces!"

She looked at Lin Xiaocha up and down, thinking about the rumors outside. "My Feng family has been in charge of the world for thousands of years. Is it your turn to replace me, you stinky little girl?"

"It's not my turn. Answering to Her Majesty, this courtiers never looked at your Majesty's throne." Lin Xiaocha wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes.

Feng Nanfei stood up from the chair, "Shut up! Just someone like you want to replace me? You are not worthy! I am Feng Nanfei! The Feng family was the one chosen by Vermillion Bird! And you are a fairy who seduced men with lies!"

"Now even your dragon has left you."

"How do you want to fight with me in this world!"

"I want everyone to watch how you, the so-called person chosen by Vermillion Bird, was burned to death on the Vermillion Terrace by the fire of my phoenix's Flame of Nirvana!"

After the completion of Vermillion Terrace, there would be a sacrifice. Such a major event was advanced for the first time since the founding of Zhu Yun country.

This time, unlike the past, only the nobles were allowed to approach the sacrifice. Feng Nanfei especially let the civilians also come to the sacrifice scene. She wanted to burn Lin Xiaocha to death in front of everyone so that they would know who was the real chosen one.

The altar was surrounded by people.

Feng Nanfei slowly walked from the stairs to the altar with her bright yellow-tailed robe. The shining golden Phoenix was flying above her head with her giant wings, like the only dazzling light source in this dark Dongling city.

This is a rare sight for ordinary people. It was their honor to see Zhu Yun country's most noble Empress and Phoenix.

But after Feng Nanfei climbed to the top of Vermilion Terrace, she discovered that the world looked at her without admiration or surprise, but with lifeless and numb as Dongling City.

She frowned, but she smiled immediately. No matter what, they are a group of ants. She didn't need to care about the ants' thoughts.

Finally, Lin Xiaocha was taken to the Vermilion Terrace by General Zuo.

History has a small cycle in a hundred years and a big cycle in a thousand years, but Lin Xiaocha didn't expect that she only has two short years. Her own experience was like car wheels. Whatever started the front wheels, the rear wheels also got it.

She used to be a sacrifice for an egg in the burial ground, and now she was going to be sacrificed to this old overlord, the Vermillion Bird.

She became a sacrifice deliberately before, but this time it was completely accidental.

Everything was because she wanted to save the noodle stall owner from Feng Ziying. She kept thinking about whether it was worth it or not. The answer is definitely not worth it. Two years ago, the boss just gave her a bowl of noodles and stuffed a bag of meat for her. However, she felt that if she could redo it again, she might still choose this way. After all, the situation at the time was just a matter of opening her mouth for her. Who knows that it would become the way it is now.

General Zuo risked Feng Nanfei's anger and didn't let anyone hold Lin Xiaocha. He felt that a good person should be rewarded. He could not save her life, but he could give her dignity.

He took Lin Xiaocha to the Vermilion Terrace.

Lin Xiaocha, wearing a plain-colored brocade dress and a long-tailed white robe, walked up the black steps of the Vermilion Terrace slowly.

At this moment, she was as calm as she was two years ago. Wearing a snow-white robe, she was not like a sacrifice, but like a princess escorted to the Vermilion Terrace by a guard, like a lily blooming out of this black city.

It made people's eyes bright.

She was not so calm in her heart, but the more she was afraid, Feng Nanfei would be happier. The calmer she was, the angrier Feng Nanfei would be.

She didn't let her live. Why should she make her happy?

She believed that Lin Yishan would definitely come after hearing the news. Even if he was angry, he would not ignore her own life and death.

So she still has some confidence in her heart.

The moment Lin Xiaocha appeared, the lifeless Dongling City was boiling and rioting.

"Xiaocha!"

"Xiaocha!"

The numb eyes of the city residents suddenly had brilliance, admiration, and love, as if Lin Xiaocha was their hope.

Feng Nanfei's phoenix eyes widened, and she looked angrily at the crowd who only had Lin Xiaocha in their eyes.

Suddenly someone yelled, "Your Majesty, please let Xiaocha girl go, please!"

Lin Xiaocha turned around when she heard the voice and saw a woman holding a five-year-old girl squeezing out from the crowd desperately and kneeling in front of the Vermilion Terrace.

It was the mother and daughter that Lin Xiaocha saved back then.

Mother kept bowing to Feng Nanfei, begging her to let Lin Xiaocha go.

Lin Xiaocha thanked her with a sweet smile and motioned to General Zuo to took her down.

Feng Nanfei looked at the mother and daughter who had been dragged down, and their expressions didn't ease at all because Lin Xiaocha actually mobilized her citizen!

She was about to get angry, and at the same time, she heard a roar from the crowd, "Feng Nanfei! You tyrant! The Feng family should be dead! You Feng family should die!"

Lin Xiaocha looked into the crowd. The owner of the noodle stall led a group of refugees who raised their fists and shouted loudly.

Feng Nanfei's long-suppressed anger finally broke out!

They saw a golden light flying over their head, and the Phoenix spit out a pillar of fire to the ground with a cry. With a burst of exclamation, not only the group of people, including the owner of the noodle stall, turned to ashes in an instant, but it also affected countless people around them.

Lin Xiaocha stared blankly at the remnants below burned to ashes. The ashes fell on the ground and caught in the wind.

The lives of hundreds of people were wiped out in ashes in an instant, and the fire on the ground was still burning.

The whole Dongling City was silent for an instant, only shrouded in invisible fear. No one dared to speak anymore.

The fire of the Phoenix's Flame of Nirvana symbolizes the imperial power of Feng Nanfei.

With a triumphant smile on Feng Nanfei's face, she turned to look at Lin Xiaocha and said every word slowly, "Burn her to death!"

As soon as her voice fell, she didn't expect a flash of lightning and thunder in the sky. Instead, a silver wandering dragon appeared among the dark clouds, like a lightning bolt, which bit the Phoenix's tail and pulled it away.

The quiet Dongling City is boiling again. "Dragon!"

Lin Xiaocha looked at the sky. "Dandan!"
