Chapter 254 Total Suppression
At this moment, Beisu finally had an unbelievable but bold guess that Su Jixue was Ji Xue.
Zong Kui stiffened slightly, and turned to glance at Bei Su coldly. He didn't admit it, but he didn't deny it either.
This is already a huge blow to Beisu.
So, this elf that gave them such a headache actually resurrected, and in the body of another person.
Is this a resurrection?!
Bei Su felt a chill down his spine. He had seen Ji Xue's plight before. Given Ji Xue's vengeful nature, how could she let them go?
No wonder Su Jixue just cut him off with one finger.
This is revenge!
"Master, Su Jixue cannot stay." Bei Su whispered.
Su Jixue will definitely take revenge on them. No wonder Su Jixue could recognize Zong Kui, and also knew Nanqing’s defense.
Among the people in this world who know Nanqing best is Ji Xue.
"Don't worry about it." Zong Kui said calmly, and coughed violently again. In fact, even if he hadn't been poisoned, Su Jixue's knife was still cruel enough to directly injure his internal organs.
Zong Kui’s words made Bei Su’s heart sink.
They had all been guessing about Zong Kui's feelings for Ji Xue, but they didn't dare to ask.
This is why some elders are worried that Zong Kui will kill Ji Xue in the end.
They had all seen the ending and thought that this entanglement was finally over, but now, there was another mystery.
"Master, Tingyu is pregnant." Beisu said in a deep voice.
This was something he had not originally intended to tell Zong Kui. After all, it was a complete accident that Tingyu and Zong Kui could succeed.
Zong Kui didn't want to mention it again.
After Tingyu found out that she was pregnant, she actually didn't tell Zongkui, and only Sisu knew about it.
Zong Kui's body stiffened, and he glanced at Bei Su with disbelief. Ting Yu was a descendant of the priest clan and had been a candidate for Zong Kui's fiancée among the group.
She has a weak body and was protected by Zong Kui until she grew up as his younger sister. She was also used by Zong Kui to annoy Ji Xue.
But in the end, Ji Xue didn't care, because he was the one who was angry.
Ji Xue always pretends that Tingyu doesn't exist as long as she doesn't make trouble in front of her.
Although Zong Kui didn't care, the four elders and clan elders all felt deeply hurt for Tingyu. Therefore, Tingyu had caused a lot of trouble in the past, but Ji Xue didn't tolerate anyone, so after being taught a lesson, everyone at least knew to stay away from her.
And now... dark clouds gathered in Zong Kui's eyes, and his face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it.
If Zong Kui had known this earlier, he might not have had such a rejection reaction. After all, he should have considered the bloodline inheritance, but now that he knew Ji Xue was still alive, this happened.
Zong Kui twisted his fingers gently, and a cruel look flashed in his eyes.
a long time--
Lord Qin wrote furiously, with Prime Minister Zhuang and Prime Minister Su helping him. The first draft of the terms between Dongchu and Nanqing regarding the two countries was finally completed.
Su Jian first showed the terms to Emperor Ming for review. Emperor Ming modified some minor details but had no objections to other matters. Then he had the terms handed to Zong Kui.
Zong Kui watched silently, Dong Chu's subtle thoughts clearly revealed in the details. However, it wasn't a big deal: "Have someone copy it and sign it directly."
He didn't want to waste any more time on this matter.
Beisu also saw these terms clearly. Unlike Beisu's argument just now, the treaty that Zongkui agreed to sign actually had a stronger binding meaning for Nanqing.
Bei Su wanted to speak, but after thinking it over, he kept quiet. The timing was different, and nothing was more important than leaving safely right now. He could always make other plans later, but if he couldn't leave, everything would be in vain.
Emperor Ming and his court officials were slightly startled. They had thought that the matter would continue to be a matter of dispute, but they did not expect it to end so simply.
Lord Qin was already prepared to argue his case, but now, it's all in vain.
Officials from the Honglu Temple immediately worked with the Ministry of Rites to begin transcribing the agreement in preparation for formalizing it.
At this moment, Zong Kui turned his gaze to Su Jixue again: "Miss Su, can we talk now?"
Su Jixue glanced at the draft treaty, but still looked nonchalant: "Regent, the treaty has not been finalized yet, let alone announced to the world. There is no rush."
"Announce to the world? Su Jixue, what do you mean? The poison in our prince's body can't wait!" Bei Su confirmed Su Jixue's identity, and thinking of new and old grudges, he couldn't help but question.
If this process is followed, I don’t know how many days will pass.
Su Jixue did it on purpose!
Before Su Jixue could speak, the War King's eyes, as cold as a knife, swept across Beisu's face. He moved his fingers for some reason and suddenly a hidden weapon shot out from the wheelchair.
Bei Su dodged in a panic, but was still hit on the shoulder by a flying blade: "War King, what do you mean?!"
"Back off!" Zong Kui frowned slightly and glanced coldly at Bei Su. His calm composure in Nan Qing seemed to have disappeared. Now he was like a hedgehog with its hair standing on end, completely clueless.
Bei Su took a deep breath and stood behind Zong Kui.
Zong Kui raised his eyes and looked at Zhan Wang. Both of their eyes were very cold, but Zhan Wang's eyes were more indifferent, while Zong Kui's eyes were full of emotions.
"When you are under someone else's roof, at least learn to bow your head." Zong Kui said lightly to the person behind him.
Su Jixue sneered, Zongkui was at least not stupid.
"So, what does Miss Su want in order to talk?" Zong Kui then looked at Su Jixue. The poison in his body had penetrated deep into his lungs, bones and blood. Every moment of delay would bring him danger.
"I've heard that the Regent of Nanqing isn't one to keep his promises." Su Jixue looked at Zong Kui sarcastically. "Contracts are something he might regret once he's finally out of trouble."
By then, Dongchu’s contract will be a piece of waste paper.
"Miss Su can give me the antidote in installments, one dose every seven days. That way, even if I go back, I will still be under Miss Su's control, right?" Zong Kui raised his eyebrows, his tone was light, but the content was a bit shocking.
"That's one way, but I have a better one." Su Jixue ignored Zong Kui's words and said, "I heard that the imperial edicts of Nanqing will only be effective if they are signed by both the Emperor of Nanqing and the Regent."
Bei Su frowned. How could she have heard about such a thing? It was obviously Su Jixue herself who knew it!
"Then why don't the Regent just leave the signature and seal here?" Su Jixue said casually, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
Zongkui's signature is specially made and cannot be imitated.
This can be kept in Dongchu as collateral.
"Seal?" Zong Kui's lips curled up into a cold smile: "Miss Su is too hearsay."
He was also certain that Su Jixue did not dare to reveal the source of the information.
"It's just hearsay. I haven't heard anything yet. Even the imperial seal seems to be in—"
Su Jixue looked at Zong Kui meaningfully, and stretched out the ending of the following words, as if waiting to see Zong Kui's reaction before speaking.
