Chapter 259 Ban Yao was murdered
Wu Zixu suddenly thought of something: "Your Majesty! I remember it! It must be Zixuan! Yes! She did it!"
Fuchai was skeptical: "How is it possible? Zixuan alone could move millions of dan of grain in one night? I don't believe it!"
Wu Zixu smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty! Last time, Zhongli Lixuan conjured up a million-strong army out of thin air. Because of that incident, I didn't go any further!"
"If that's the case, how can the army fight without food? What should we do?"
Sun Wu said, "Your Majesty! If all else fails, we should listen to Zixuan and stop attacking Chen."
"Anyway, we've already captured three cities. When the opportunity arises, we'll destroy the State of Chen!"
Fuchai's face was filled with regret: "I am unwilling to withdraw my troops just like this!"
Wu Zixu said, "Who says it's not true? What a great opportunity, and it's ruined by Zixuan again!"
"I don't know where Zixuan is now. How can I contact her?"
"No need to contact me, I'll come here by myself!"
Before he finished speaking, Zixuan appeared in front of the three of them.
Ah! The three of them were shocked: "Zi, City Lord Zixuan! You! Are you a human or a ghost?"
Zixuan chuckled: "Of course it's a human. Have you ever seen such a beautiful ghost? Haha!"
The three men finally regained their composure and bowed deeply to Zixuan: "City Lord Zixuan, we agree to withdraw our troops."
"But I conquered these three cities with great difficulty, so I won't give them back!"
Zixuan nodded: "Okay, if you don't return the city, I don't have to return the food either, we're even!"
Ah! The three of them sat on the ground like deflated balls..."
In the Kuniyo Mansion in Zhuno Castle, Kuniyo was very happy when he heard from his retainer that Zixuan had gone to Yiyang City.
The opportunity for revenge finally came, and he called several of his men over and gave them instructions.
At three o'clock that night, Ban Yu was sleeping soundly in the courtyard when a cloud of smoke drifted in from the window.
An hour later, he was lying naked on Gui Yue's beloved concubine's bed.
The next day, just as the sky was getting light, a shrill scream came from Li Ji's bedroom, breaking the tranquility of the early morning.
The patrolling guards and palace maids heard the sound and hurried over here.
The two palace maids were also awakened by the shock. They quickly put on their clothes and walked in: "What happened to the queen?"
When he saw Ban Yu lying on the bed, he was frightened and screamed.
The guards thought something had happened and rushed in quickly:
"What's wrong? What happened? Is there an assassin?"
Li Ji pointed at the still unconscious Ban Yu and said, "The thief is here! Catch him!"
“Yes!” the guard agreed and pulled the quilt open with force.
Seeing Ban Yu lying there naked and still sleeping soundly!
The guard was so angry that he slapped Ban Yu several times. Ban Yu felt the pain and slowly woke up.
When he saw the people in the room and the surrounding environment, he was immediately shocked.
When she looked at herself again, she screamed and quickly covered her private parts with her hands.
Seeing that he had woken up, the guards shouted, "Where did you come from, you lunatic? How dare you commit adultery in the palace?"
What? A palace full of adultery? So, I'm in the palace now?
When did I enter the palace? Why can't I remember? Oh no, someone must have set me up.
Just as I thought of this, I heard the eunuch shout: "The king has arrived..."
He was so frightened that his whole body trembled. It was over. He was caught this time and he couldn't wash himself clean even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
At this time, Chen Mingong had already walked in. When he saw that the rapist was Ban Shu, he was furious and cursed: "You are so good, Ban Shu!"
"When we met yesterday, I thought you were a gentleman, but I didn't expect you to be such a hypocritical rapist!"
"Come here! Drag Ban Yao down to me and beat him up!"
"Yes!" Immediately, several guards came forward, carried Ban Yao and left.
Ban Yu didn't beg for mercy, knowing that he had no chance of defending himself.
At this time, his old wounds had not healed yet, and now he was beaten to pieces by the whip, and he immediately fainted.
Gui Yue was furious when he heard the guards say Ban Jing had fainted. He immediately ordered, "Pour cold water on him to wake him up and continue beating him!"
Half an hour later, the guards came to report: "Your Majesty, Ban Zhu could not bear the torture and died!"
What? Dead! I just wanted to beat him up to vent my anger, how could I have killed him?
His mind suddenly cleared up and he realized that Ban Yu was Zixuan's man.
Others went to the front line for her, but she killed her ministers in the rear.
If Zixuan came back, how would he explain it to others? Thinking of this, he paced around the room anxiously...
After Yi Yang's matter was settled, Zi Xuan returned to the villa happily.
The ministers who had just entered the room ran over and said, "Your Majesty, you are back!"
"Master Ban disappeared last night and hasn't returned yet. Your Majesty, please think of a solution!"
Zixuan was stunned. Ban Yao had disappeared. "Did you send anyone to look for him?"
"We did! Not only did we send people out to look for him, but we also reported him to the authorities."
Okay, I see! After entering the room, she lay on the bed and began to think...
Ban Yao probably did not offend anyone else in the State of Chen except for diplomatic relations.
It must be the work of the diplomatic corps. I will go to the palace to finish my business first, and then I will settle the score with you!
Zixuan sat up and fixed her makeup, then strode towards the palace.
When Chen Min Gong heard that Zixuan had returned, he was immediately filled with mixed feelings of sadness and joy.
He hurried out to greet him: "Thank you for your hard work, City Lord Zixuan. Come in and have some tea!"
Zixuan nodded slightly: "Thank you, my lord."
After sitting down, Zixuan recounted the story of King Wu's promise to withdraw his troops.
Gui Yue was overjoyed. Although he lost three cities, it was better than having his country destroyed.
She stood up and bowed deeply to Zixuan: "Thank you, City Lord Zixuan, for saving the State of Chen from danger!"
Zixuan waved his hand and stood up: "You are welcome, my lord."
"The work on the front line has been completed. I have something else to do, so I'll go back first!"
Gui Yue knew that Zixuan was here for Ban Yu's matter, so he immediately knelt before Zixuan:
"Please forgive me, Lord Zixuan! I didn't mean it!"
Zixuan was completely bewildered, "I wonder why you say that, sir?"
"City Lord Zixuan! I, I, I killed Ban Yu!"
What? Zixuan was shocked: "King Chen! Why did you kill Ban Yu?"
"Just because, just because he sneaked into the palace last night and slept with my beloved concubine?"
"Ah? Is there such a thing?"
"Yes, City Lord Zixuan, Ban Yu committed adultery in the palace and deserved the death penalty. I had no choice but to beat him to death!"
"Have you investigated how Ban Zhu entered the palace? And who let him in?"
"This, this... I, I haven't asked."
"What? You beat someone to death before you even figured out the situation! You're such a tyrant!"
"How could I lose my mind to come and help you!"
After saying that, he kicked Gui Yue to the ground. Gui Yue was so scared that she lay on the ground and dared not move.
Seeing his expression, Zixuan became even angrier and shouted, "Why don't you go check it out? What are you doing lying here?"
Yes, yes, yes! Fang Yue was so frightened that he tumbled and crawled out of the hall.
