Mother and daughter Su knew that a disaster was about to happen, so they hugged each other and cried together. After Su Daji served her tired mother and fell asleep, she ordered her servants to take care of her carefully. Unconsciously, they came to the backyard garden and sighed: "
The feathers of mayflies, the clothes are beautiful. Where does the worry in my heart go to? The wings of mayflies pick up the clothes. The worry in the heart returns to me? The mayflies dig and read, and the linen clothes are like snow. The worry in the heart is in me.
Return to say?"
The maid waiting on the side interrupted: "What does the lady mean? What is a mayfly?"
Daji treated these servants very well on weekdays, so she didn't worry about it, and explained: "This is the poem "Ephemera" in "The Rites and Music of the Great Shang" written by the Emperor. Mayflies are ancient insects that live and die every day.
But day and night..."
The maid didn't understand that Daji was using the ephemera as a metaphor for her own fate, so she nodded speciously. Daji knew that she didn't understand, so she smiled bitterly and said, "You go back to your room to rest, and I'll be alone here for a while."
"People are like mayflies, living and dying day and night..." Su Daji looked at her beautiful figure reflected in the pool, "Perhaps at this time tomorrow, we will no longer be able to see the people in the water..."
The tone of voice is resentful, which makes the listener feel sad.
Suddenly a woman's voice rang in her ear: "Miss, since you sigh at the mayfly, do you know the ambition of the mayfly?"
Su Daji looked around, but found no one, and said in shock: "Who are you? How dare you come to the Marquis' Mansion in Jizhou to cause trouble? Why don't you retreat quickly to avoid misfortune!"
The woman's voice seemed to have infinite allure, making people unable to arouse any hostility: "Don't be afraid, Miss, I have no ill intentions. I am the Fairy Qingfeng, invisible and formless. I happened to hear the Miss sighing, and I couldn't bear it, so I came here to say
meeting."
Su Daji had some doubts about the true origin of the Qingfeng Immortal, but she still couldn't help but ask: "What is the meaning of the 'mayfly's ambition' mentioned by the Immortal just now?"
"Mayflies are originally strange underwater insects, and their lifespan is three to five years. It is not until they emerge that they grow wings, fly into the sky, and become a real mayfly. However, once they emerge, their death is approaching. Despite this, the mayfly still has no regrets.
To have no resentment and to become immortal with one heart, even if it can only be born in the world for a moment. This is the ambition of a mayfly."
Su Dajilan's heart was full of wisdom, and she suddenly realized: "As long as I can become a feather and fly, even if it is only a moment of glory, I will have no regrets..."
The seductive female voice sounded again: "I just asked Qingfeng. I know the source of Miss's troubles. I wonder if Miss is willing to solve the disaster in Jizhou?"
Su Daji's delicate body trembled and she hurriedly asked: "What wonderful method does the immortal have?"
"Now that Jizhou is running out of energy, I'm afraid things will get even more difficult..." The female voice seemed to hesitate, saying, "Unless..."
When Su Daji heard that there was still hope, she quickly asked Qingfeng Fairy. But she heard her sigh and said: "Unless the young lady is willing to sacrifice her life, we can save Jizhou. There is no other way!"
Su Daji was silent for a while, showed a sad smile, and said: "If you sacrifice me alone, you can save your parents, brothers, and the elders in Jizhou, why would Daji cherish your life? If you can fly like a mayfly, even if you live and die,
No regrets in this world.”
The voice seemed to be very excited, and in order to cover up some emotion, it turned into a long sigh: "In that case, please relax, Miss, and accept the wonderful method I am performing..."
The graceful and beautiful figure reflected in the pool suddenly paused and slowly fell down, like an epiphyllum withering away. The whole starry night was blinking and weeping. Only the bright moon in the sky remained bright.
After a long time, Su Daji finally stood up again, still looking like a demure virgin, but with a hint of joy in her brows. A woman's voice sounded from the side: "Congratulations to sister on your success. Now that you have taken away Daji's body, you can become the empress's secret wife."
count."
"I didn't expect it to go so smoothly!" Su Daji smiled sweetly, even more charming than usual: "It's a pity that my demon body was destroyed long ago. Although this body is extremely perfect, it has always become a mortal body, and my magic power has been greatly reduced. It is a pity.
"
Another woman smiled and said: "Sister, don't worry. The secret skills of the demons passed down by the empress can be used even in the mortal body. You only need to practice for many years to completely integrate the soul with this body. Then you will be better than the ordinary demon body."
Even more powerful."
Su Daji smiled and said: "How many years will it take? However, the two sisters' magic power is getting better and better day by day, and they can live freely in the world, which makes my sister very envious."
"Sister, don't make fun of me. We have been sisters for many years and have always had a deep relationship. Besides, you are still the leader of my queen's plan. No matter how carefree we are, do we still have to obey my sister's orders?"
Before Su Daji spoke, another woman asked again: "Su Daji was willing to die just now. Why didn't my sister swallow all her three souls and seven souls, but left one soul behind?"
"Ximei, Pipa, you don't know something," Su Daji said lightly: "Firstly, we can obtain information about Daji's life from the remaining soul, just in case; secondly, I saw that she has realized the ambition of a mayfly and has a strange understanding.
Gao, it's also fate. I don't want to kill them all. Anyway, she has a mortal body and has no power, so she is not afraid of causing any trouble. In the future, when the magic of the demon is completed, the soul will be completely fused, and by then, she can also gain her understanding. Isn't it wonderful?
?”
The nine-headed pheasant spirit and the jade pipa spirit praised their sister's mind. After Su Daji got familiar with the new body for a while, she gave a few instructions and the three women went their separate ways. If Zhang Zixing were present, there would have been another sigh. Unexpectedly, Su Daji went around and around.
Still can't escape the original fate!
Let's say that Su Hu was drinking heavily when suddenly Su Daji's voice came from outside the door: "Father, alcohol is strong and harmful to your health. Please don't drink anymore!"
Su Hu was anxious and shouted angrily: "Don't worry about me! Go back quickly!"
Su Daji was not afraid. Shi Shiran came to his father and said softly: "Now the army is besieging the city and the situation is critical. Even if my father is drunk, he can't solve the problem. It's better to carefully measure and see if there is a way to escape."
.”
Su Hu said angrily: "I took the lead in plotting rebellion, and my crime will not be forgiven. The world has become more powerful, but there is no place for me, Su Hu! I hate those princes who instigated me to rebel. They made a vow when they instigated me to rebel. They promised to share the same enemy and conspire with the world.
Now there is no trace, leaving me alone to stand in the way of Wen Zhong..."
As he said that, Su Hu, who was drunk, suddenly showed a fierce light, pulled out the sword from his waist, and looked at Daji fiercely: "It's only a matter of time before the city of Jizhou is destroyed. Rather than letting you be slaughtered and humiliated by others, it's better for me to do it myself!
"
Su Daji did not escape and suddenly shed tears: "Father really wants to kill his daughter?"
That charming look made Su Hu's sword-holding hand tremble. Finally, he let out a long sigh and threw the sword to the ground: "You are my biological daughter, and I have always loved you. If there was no way out, how could I bear to do this?"
Su Daji wiped away her tears, bit her lips lightly, and said, "No matter what happens, my daughter has a plan. If she succeeds, she can save my Su family."
Su Hu's eyes widened: "What's the plan? Tell me quickly!"
Su Daji took her time and said something.
At the same time, an emergency report suddenly came from the merchant camp outside Jizhou City: "Reporting to the Grand Master, a black cloud suddenly rose from the east gate of Jizhou and rolled towards our army. I don't know what it is!"
Wen Zhong hurriedly left the camp and saw a black miasma that looked like clouds and mist appeared on the east gate. Wherever he passed, the soldiers turned into piles of bones. It was really terrible.
"Generals, please retreat, this is the art of the left!" Wen Zhong patted the Mo Qilin, with the wind on his four legs, and faced it. He opened the third divine eye on his forehead, but did not see the original form of the black mist. Wen Zhong
Zhong Ji raised his male and female whips and struck at the black mist, but he could only scatter the black mist, but could not completely eliminate it. The black mist seemed to be quite afraid of the double whips, and gradually retracted into the city.
"I don't think there is such a person in Jizhou City! I'm afraid there are other complications in this battle!" Wen Zhong frowned secretly, and suddenly heard an emergency report: "There is black mist at the west gate again!"
Wen Zhong hurried to Ximen and found another group of black mist that had converged and returned to the city. The ground was dripping with blood and full of broken limbs. Gao Lanying, the commander-in-chief of Ximen, reported: "The black mist attacked the sergeant just now, and the general will use the Sun God Needle."
He was injured, so he returned to the city, but lost nearly a hundred soldiers, and asked the grand master to punish him."
"Thanks to General Gao's miraculous skills for repelling the enemy, what's the crime? We need to be more vigilant from now on, and report immediately if there is any abnormality." Wen Zhong did not expect that Jizhou still has such a viable force. He was worried and encouraged him a few words before returning to the camp.
.
In Jizhou City, Su Hu had completely sobered up from his drunken state, with a look of surprise on his face, as if he had never seen this daughter before: "How could you come up with such a ridiculous idea?"
"My daughter felt sorry for her father when she saw that she was worried. She just thought of this plan in the back garden, so she came to tell her." Su Daji showed a decisive look: "If it succeeds, not only will the lives of her parents be saved, but her brother will also be released safely.
Even though my daughter has to make sacrifices, it is worth it."
"Now that the army is besieging the city, how can the messenger break out of the siege?"
"Those are all highly skilled men. They are proficient in the art of sneaking at night. They should be able to avoid the enemy. If the family had not received the favor from the mother and daughter on weekdays, they would not have been so obedient. Just in case, my father
You can write a few more letters to avoid missing them."
A cold light flashed in Su Hu's eyes: "If I am captured, I will find out all those hypocritical and cowardly things, so that I will not be despised by the world alone!"
"Father is right. Even if this plan fails, we will only die once, which is quite clean."
"Well said, she is indeed my Su Hu's daughter," Su Hu said with tears in his eyes and gritted his teeth: "I never expected that I would have to rely on my daughter to exchange for the survival of the whole family today after having been in power for so many years. That's fine, let's just follow this plan.
It’s just a pain for you…”
"As long as my Su family can be kept safe, my daughter will have no regrets." Daji showed a sad expression, sighed slightly, and slowly lowered her head to hide the trace of amusement in her eyes.
A month later, Zhang Zixing, who had been diligently practicing Xuanyuan Dragon Control Technique in Chaoge and had achieved some success, received a battle report from the Jizhou front line. This letter, which should be considered a victory, was written by Wen Zhong himself, but in Zhang Zixing's opinion, there was nothing in it
It contains not only good news but also bad news.
The good news is that after hearing that Taishi had won several battles in a row and besieged Jizhou for many days, Su Hu was willing to give up all resistance and surrender completely in order to protect the people of Jizhou, but there was one condition. This condition may be a good thing in the eyes of others.
But in Zhang Zixing's eyes, it was like a heavy blow - Su Hu was willing to offer his daughter Daji to the emperor as his concubine to atone for the sin of treason, and then completely give up his position as a prince, and put Jizhou under the direct jurisdiction of Dashang.
This move means that the term "Jizhou Marquis" will be erased from the history of Dashang.
It was such a good thing to be able to conquer a relatively powerful vassal state so completely, but the condition of offering a daughter as a concubine made Zhang Zixing shocked and angry. Unexpectedly, he deliberately added so many variables and told Wen Zhong to destroy the Su clan.
, but in the end we are back to this damn plot! Where is the legendary butterfly effect? Where is it?
Zhang Zixing threw the battle report to the ground with a "pop" sound, and shouted to Ji Li who came to deliver the message in person: "Su Hu is so bold in his rebellion that his crime deserves to be exterminated. Didn't I tell the Grand Master not to forgive him? Why is the Grand Master not allowed to be pardoned?"
Are you still urging me to surrender in your letter?"
Ji Li saw that the emperor was angry and quickly told what happened.
It turned out that after Wen Zhong besieged Jizhou for several days, Xiqi doctor San Yisheng suddenly arrived. He claimed that he had been ordered by Xibohou to persuade Su Hu to surrender in order to save the army and the people. Wen Zhong wanted to let Su Hu surrender and then trapped him and killed him.
Yisheng dispersed and entered Jizhou.
San Yisheng talked with Su Hu for a long night, and the next day he went out of the city to see Wen Zhong, and conveyed Su Hu's conditions: as long as the emperor could forgive the Su family's sins, Su Hu was willing to surrender completely, and in order to express his determination to surrender, he would offer his daughter Daji to the emperor.
She became a concubine and gave the entire Jizhou as a dowry reward with both hands.
Wen Zhong thought of the death order issued by the emperor before leaving, and immediately rejected Su Hu's conditions. Seeing that such conditions were rejected, Su Hu immediately ordered to defend Jizhou. The two groups of strange black fog began to attack the sergeants more and more.
Frequent. The black mist is very cunning and only attacks ordinary soldiers. When Wen Zhong and other generals arrive, they immediately retreat. They often attack in the middle of the night, making it impossible to guard against them. The casualties of the merchant army are increasing day by day.
While San Yisheng tried his best to dissuade the angry Wen Zhong from attacking Jizhou, he quickly sent someone to inform Jichang, the Marquis of Xibo. Soon, Jichang came to Jizhou in person and brought a joint petition from the princes, stating the interests and dangers, and urging Wen Zhong to accept Su Hu's surrender.
Wen Zhong knew that the matter was of great importance and that it was beyond his ability to make a decision, so he had to order Ji to return to the imperial court and report to the Emperor's Holy Judgment immediately.
Zhang Zixing carefully read the joint letter between Jichang and the princes. Jichang united with the other three princes and a group of small princes to state their interests and harms to the emperor in the name of the great cause of military disaster and harm to innocent people's lives, saying
Since Su Hu was willing to give up his status as a prince and dedicate the entire Jizhou and his daughter, he had completely surrendered. If the emperor still refused and insisted on fighting, it would not only damage the emperor's name of benevolence and righteousness, but also cause countless casualties to the innocent soldiers and civilians of Jizhou.
It will chill the hearts of all the princes in the world.
Zhang Zixing saw that "the people of Jizhou are your Majesty's people. If your Majesty makes the people suffer in order to vent his anger, wouldn't it be contrary to the original intention of the New Deal to save all the people in the world?" He couldn't help but snorted: "Ji Chang really has good intentions, and he actually used the New Deal."
In the name of benevolence and righteousness, how long did it take for Wen Zhong to besiege Jizhou? How long did it take for San Yisheng to inform Ji Chang? This Ji Chang could actually 'unite' all the princes to submit a letter in a short period of time. Could he have been prepared for it?
His ulterior motives are evident!"
Ji Li said respectfully: "The Grand Master is currently in a dilemma. Please ask His Majesty for your judgment!"
Zhang Zixing frowned and pondered, pondering undecided for a moment.
