Chapter 245 The Sick and Vicious Soldier and His Iron-Blooded and Cold-Faced General 24
The emperor's face was not very good. Even though his inner thoughts were guessed, he still looked at Ji Bai with a gloomy face and asked, "My dear minister, do you mean that I will not give the tiger talisman to Xiao Xiechuan?"
Ji Bai lowered his eyes and said calmly, "I dare not."
The emperor looked at his indifferent expression and suddenly became angry. He raised his hand and slammed the table, angrily saying: "You dare not, or you don't think so?!"
Everyone was frightened by the emperor's sudden temper, and they immediately knelt down on the ground again, kowtowed and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, calm down."
Ji Bai lowered his eyes and said nothing.
818 had been holding back on words, but when he saw his boss being wronged, his suppressed anger suddenly rose up again. He put his hands on his hips and opened his mouth, and was about to speak when he was interrupted by a sound.
"puff--"
The sound of a sharp weapon piercing into a human body was heard, and everyone raised their hands to look for the source of the sound, but saw that the emperor's eyes were slightly wide open and dark blood was spitting out of his mouth.
Suddenly, the banquet became chaotic.
"There's an assassin! Catch the assassin!!!"
The Fifth Prince subconsciously looked at Xiao Xiechuan and saw him lower his sleeves to cover his arms.
In an instant, he felt dizzy and wished he could faint and never wake up.
If he assassinated the emperor in public and anyone noticed him, all ten clans of this kid would have no chance of survival!
Ji Bai raised his eyes to glance at the chaotic scene, then turned his head to look at Xiao Xiechuan, only to find that he was staring at him with his dark eyes so deep that it was a little scary.
He is indeed a madman.
Although he thought so in his heart, the corners of his mouth slowly raised up a subtle arc, as if approving of his behavior.
........
The banquet was in chaos for a long time, and the assassin was still not caught until dark.
The emperor was also in a coma. In the end, it was the queen who made the decision and sent all the ministers who had no sharp weapons out of the palace.
Ji Bai took the stiff father Jiang away from the banquet first without looking back at the chaotic scene behind them.
After returning to the General's Mansion, Father Jiang came back to his senses and looked at Ji Bai, saying with an empty look: "Xiao Ci! We just committed two serious crimes!"
Ji Bai looked at him.
Father Jiang: "We angered His Majesty and let His Majesty get hurt right under our noses. We...we..."
Ji Bai said softly, "Dad."
Jiang's father was very scared, but he patted his back with shaking hands, "Don't be afraid, Dad will go to confess. This has nothing to do with you. Dad will go alone to confess. Maybe His Majesty will still look down on us..."
Ji Bai lowered his head, his long eyelashes covering his eyes. He said softly, "I have nothing left."
Father Jiang was slightly stunned.
Ji Bai raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes slightly red. "I have listened to my grandmother since I was young, and I have never been late for training every day. My dream is to repay His Majesty and defend the country for His Majesty."
Father Jiang's breathing slowed down a bit.
This was the first time he saw his youngest son, who never showed any emotion, with red eyes.
When he was very young, he never cried even when a servant accidentally splashed him with hot water.
But at this moment, his eyes were red.
Ji Bai lowered his eyes and continued, "But when His Majesty summoned me to the Golden Throne Hall today, he asked me to hand over the tiger talisman and took back everything I had, only because the people outside were calling for the General's Mansion too loudly."
"Did your Majesty say this himself?"
Ji Bai's face didn't turn red, his heart didn't beat, and his voice even had a hint of tears as he said, "This is what His Majesty meant."
Father Jiang was silent for a long time.
After waiting for a while, Ji Bai slowly asked, "Dad, is this the end of our loyal Majesty?"
Jiang's father subconsciously retorted: "Your Majesty must have misunderstood something!"
Ji Bai didn't say anything, but took him to his bedroom. "These are the books I collected when I was fighting outside. If Dad is interested, take them and read them first."
After Jiang's father left with the books, Ji Bai's face returned to its usual indifferent look.
818 frowned tightly: [Why is he so stubborn? ]
Ji Bai replied calmly: [In such a huge general's mansion, there is not a single book that mentions emperors of past dynasties beheading generals. The old lady's plan has almost been implemented to the final stage.]
818 nodded, not quite understanding: "But Boss, we have to prepare for both scenarios. After the emperor wakes up, he will definitely use the excuse that you made him angry to put everyone in the general's mansion in jail. And according to the emperor's temper, if he can't find someone to assassinate him at the banquet, he may send people to kill everyone who attended the banquet. 】
It estimated for a moment, then said: [The emperor will probably be in a coma for two days.]
Ji Bai: [Yes.]
He looked away and said, "See if Chu Xuan has come out."
A meaningful expression instantly appeared on 818's face: [Boss, you said you don't like him, but you're worried about him! ]
Ji Bai glanced at it, and 818 immediately shut up, quickly raised its claws to scratch the screen, and brought up the picture of Xiao Xiechuan, seeing him just leaving the palace and getting on the carriage.
After looking for a while, he looked away.
818 mustered up the courage to speak again: [Boss, I actually think that the Great Evil has been very good to you from the beginning, and this is even more obvious in this world.]
The emperor is the most powerful person in the world, and most people dare not mention anything about the emperor. However, Xiao Xiechuan defies everyone and even wants to assassinate the emperor.
It was because the emperor said a few words to the boss and scolded him twice.
Ji Bai: [What do you want to say? ]
818 opened and closed his mouth, and finally asked cautiously: [Perhaps there is some misunderstanding between you? ]
Noticing the boss's glance, it quickly explained: [According to what you said, the Great Evil would have imprisoned you if he caught you, but the Third Prince I met today made me think clearly. If the Great Evil was like the Third Prince, then you would definitely treat him the same way as the Third Prince, making sure he had no descendants. Maybe you can't beat the Great Evil, after all, he is too powerful, but in the small world, you always soften your heart when the Great Evil implores you.]
818 looked at the boss who lowered his eyes and continued: [Plus, I feel that the Great Evil loves you very much and would not bear to hurt you, so I guess that there must be some misunderstanding between you, which is why you hate him so much from your perspective.]
