Twin Space: The Evil King Should Never Think of Taking the Throne

Chapter 115 Why are you lonely on Qingming Festival?

The first soldier who rushed towards the grain cart was shot down by an arrow, and the men in black immediately gathered together to break out. However, when the military camp was brightly lit, Xu Qingming realized that he had walked into a trap.

"Just surrender, you can't escape."

The five thousand soldiers of the Vanguard Battalion surrounded the attackers tightly. They did not rush to kill them all, but stopped there to persuade them to surrender.

"We will never surrender until we die."

At this moment, some of the men in black could not withstand the pressure of the encirclement and rushed out with knives in hand, but they were instantly dealt with by the agile vanguard.

The men in black surrounded Xu Qingming. Seeing how skilled the enemy soldiers were, they dared not act rashly. After a moment of silence, Xu Qingming whispered to the crowd:

"Surrender! You are all Da Chong soldiers. The king is merciful and will not kill you."

"General."

The people around Xu Qingming called his name in a puzzled voice. Xu Qingming did not say anything else and continued to persuade:

"Following me in rebellion will not end well. Surrender now and you will still have a chance to survive."

"No, we can't just ignore the general."

The black-clothed men spoke in low voices, and their meaning was very clear: they would never surrender. Ji Yuan, who was watching this group of people at the moment, had sharp eyes and ears, and immediately saw the clues.

"Haha, it looks like there's a big fish in today's net!"

He took a step forward and shouted to the black-clad men who were surrounded:

"Xu Qingming, don't be a coward. I can't stand people like you. You appear to be righteous on weekdays, but in fact you are despicable and shameless, and you will only do things that will be infamous for thousands of years."

"You, you are not allowed to say that about the general. It's just a matter of death. Let's fight him to the death."

Someone shouted, and a group of men in black rushed towards Ji Yuan. Seeing this, Ji Yuan curled his lips and smiled, holding a heavy knife and was about to go up and reap the lives, but he heard a scolding voice from the encirclement of the men in black:

"Nonsense! Back off now."

This rebuke was very effective. The men in black who were furious and ready to die together stopped and made way for the man. Xu Qingming walked in front of Ji Yuan and slowly took off his veil, revealing his thin face.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to come and burn the Wang army's food and grass yourself. Xu Qingming, you are such an ungrateful person."

Ji Yuan glared at Xu Qingming, raised his heavy sword high, and prepared to chop him to death with one blow.

"Ji Yuan, stop it."

Ji Cheng saw that Ji Yuan was really angry, and hurried out to stop him. In his previous life, he had killed Xu Qingming. Although things had changed in this life, the previous trajectory seemed to continue to develop.

"Ji Yuan, tie up the men and send them to the king's tent. Find a place to keep the others."

Ji Cheng ignored Ji Yuan and Xu Qingming and returned to the king's tent alone, secretly calculating how things would develop. Not long after, Xu Qingming was brought to Ji Cheng, tied up.

"Get out!"

Ji Cheng ordered Ji Yuan to take the others away, while he watched the bound Xu Qingming, who did not move for a long time. After a long while, he said softly:

"Qingming, I never thought that you would rebel against me. So, please forgive me for leading the army to quell the rebellion without asking the reason."

Back then, I asked Ji Yuan to kill you. Now I think there must be another hidden reason behind your rebellion, but this hidden reason may be related to him as the king.

Hearing Ji Cheng's words, Xu Qingming looked at Ji Cheng in disbelief. He couldn't believe that his king could say such words. He was the one who betrayed first, and even if the king cut him into pieces, it would not be too much, why could the king still ask for forgiveness so calmly?

"The Qingming I know is loyal, brave and fearless, and a good general. I have never believed that he would rebel and make himself king."

This sentence struck Xu Qingming's heart, making him ashamed to face the king in front of him. He didn't say anything, but lowered his head unconsciously. He had nothing to say. After all, the rebellion had already started. No matter what the reason, the arrow had been shot and there was no turning back. He couldn't go back.

Seeing Xu Qingming like that, Ji Cheng wanted to slap him a few times. He thought so and did so. He slowly walked in front of Xu Qingming, looked at him with his head down, and swung his fist.

boom!

Xu Qingming was knocked down by a punch, and blood quickly oozed from the corner of his mouth. His head tilted to one side, and he couldn't help coughing.

Ji Cheng squatted down, grabbed the man and asked loudly with unspeakable anger in his eyes:

"Xu Qingming, why are you so lonely?"

"Ji Cheng, why bother asking so many questions! The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Now that I have fallen into your hands, just kill me if you want!"

Xu Qingming looked ready to die, and Ji Cheng was so angry that he punched him in the face. He had been on the throne for seventeen years, and this was the first time he had beaten someone like this. Needless to say, he felt very happy, so he couldn't help but punch him a few more times for the sake of this feeling.

When Ji Cheng was tired of fighting, he regained his former dignity and sat on the throne. Looking at the thin general who could no longer stand up, more and more questions appeared in his mind.

"Qingming, I don't want to kill you."

Even though he was so angry about Xu Qingming's rebellion in his previous life that he attacked the city, at the last moment, he still didn't want to attack the general who had followed him for many years.

Xu Qingming was silent. He had already rebelled, so why did this angry king say such a thing? He was speechless.

There was silence inside the king's tent. Ji Cheng looked at Xu Qingming with fiery eyes, while Xu Qingming looked down at the ground, silent. At this moment, Ji Yuan came from outside the tent, bringing a letter from Ji Wuye.

As soon as Ji Yuan entered the room, he frowned when he saw Xu Qingming, who was beaten with a bruised face, and couldn't help but curse in his heart, saying he deserved it.

Ji Cheng took the letter and opened it. He frowned when he saw the contents of the letter. Ji Wuye mentioned in the letter that King Jing was mobilizing troops, and it seemed that some private soldiers were mixed in. What he couldn't believe the most was that King Jing actually detained Xu Qingming's family.

Snapped!

Ji Cheng slammed the letter on the table, and had figured out everything in his previous life. All of this was planned by his good uncle, and his purpose was probably the half tiger talisman that ruled Da Chong.

In his previous life, he did give King Jing a lot of rewards because he sent troops in time, and he also gave him military power, which gave King Jing the confidence to challenge him in the later period.

Ji Cheng calmed down his anger and looked at Xu Qingming who had slowly stood up. His face was calm, but his eyes were fixed on him.

"Xu Qingming, I can forgive you."

Ji Cheng's voice was gentle. Ji Yuan couldn't believe what he heard and couldn't help but want to remind him:

"Your Majesty, he committed a rebellion, which is a heinous crime punishable by extermination of all his clans."

"Ji Yuan!"

Ji Cheng shook his head at Ji Yuan. He didn't want to regret any decision in this life. He looked at Xu Qingming, who was shocked and speechless, and said:

"I can forgive you and let you go. But you can never be the General of Zhenhai again."
