Chapter 355: The No. 1 Meat Skewers in History

Ji Mie and the ministers were shocked beyond words when they saw the extremely handsome man and woman in front of them.

The guard commander widened his eyes:

"How can it be?!"

Before lighting the fire, he specifically confirmed that the Empress of Fengyi Kingdom and her husband were sitting in the center of the hall.

All the exits of the hall were blocked by them. No matter how high your martial arts skills were, you couldn't escape.

Gu Xi smiled coldly:

"You guys are so cruel! You actually want to burn me alive!"

The ministers tumbled and crawled back, but they could not retreat far because there was a raging fire behind them.

Chu Zhao said:

"Axi, stop talking nonsense to them. I'll throw them all into the fire and let them have a taste of being burned."

Gu Xi said:

"It would be great if there was a giant bamboo stick. We could string them together and throw them in, and it would be a giant skewer of barbecue."

Chu Zhao: "Sprinkle some cumin."

Gu Xi: "And chili powder."

Chu Zhao: "The largest skewer of meat in history is ready."

Ji Mie and the ministers: "..."

It sounds delicious, but bah, so brutal!

"Queen, spare my life!"

"Empress, please spare me! I didn't start the fire!"

"It wasn't me who let him go, Queen, please spare my life!"

"Please spare me, Queen! It was the Emperor who wanted to set the fire!"

……

No one knew who started it, but the ministers were so frightened by the skewers that they trembled like trembling chaff and all kowtowed to themselves.

It would be fine if they just killed them, but they even roasted and ate them. Do all the gods in heaven like this?

The Queen of Fengyi Kingdom is really not a human being!

Ji Mie was so angry that he pointed at the ministers with trembling fingers:

“You! You—”

The ministers did not dare to look up and fell to the ground trembling with fear.

He thought to himself, it’s over, Beiyan is finished. Even with such meticulous arrangements, they can’t kill the Empress and the Emperor of Fengyi Kingdom. What chance do they have?

Ji Mie stared at Chu Zhao and Gu Xi with scarlet eyes, gritting his teeth, his voice full of reluctance and anger:

"Monsters! You are monsters!"

Chu Zhao smiled contemptuously, his eyes sharp:

"Ji Mie, you shameless villain, you just signed the letter of credence and you want to kill us right after! It's a pity that you overestimate yourself. How can a human be a match for a god?"

Ji Mie was so angry that he vomited a mouthful of blood and shouted with a pale face:

"No! I haven't lost yet! Where is the commander of the guards? Kill them for me! Whoever kills the empress of Fengyi will be crowned a king!"

The guards, armed with weapons, surrounded them densely in three layers, but they all had fearful looks and dared not move forward.

Ji Mie angrily rebuked:

"For those who don't retreat, all nine generations of their clan will be killed!"

The commander of the guards had no choice but to grit his teeth and rush forward with his knife raised.

Gu Xi pulled out his pistol and fired a shot.

With a "bang", the leader of the guards fell to the ground. There was a bloody hole on his forehead from which blood gushed out. He stared with wide eyes, and didn't know how he died until his death.

"Ah!" The guards were so frightened that their faces turned pale as paper.

They didn't see clearly how the Queen of Fengyi Kingdom made her move. They only saw her raise her hand, and their commander died.

With such horrific fighting power, their emperor is sure to die.

Who cares whether he is crowned king or not, or whether his entire clan is executed or not? What matters is saving his life.

The guards scattered and hid far away.

Ji Mie was extremely angry.

He didn't expect that the soldiers and ministers he employed were such cowards!

"Ji Mie, what strength do you have left? You might as well use it all." Gu Xi said slowly.

Ji Mie sat on the ground dejectedly.

What kind of strength does he have?

The army had been taken to the border by Ba Huai, and the palace guards were terrified.

He thought for a moment, then said fiercely, word by word:

"Empress! Do you think that only Northern Yan is coveting the Central Plains? Perhaps you don't know yet? Southern Xinjiang also launched an attack on the Central Plains on the first day of the new year!"

"Hahaha……"

"The Saint of Southern Border has a poisonous insect that can specifically restrain evildoers like you! Even if you destroy Northern Yan, you won't be able to rule the world!"

Gu Xi laughed.

"You don't have to worry about that. Nanjiang is now the capital of Fengyi Country, and the Saint of Nanjiang is the prefect of Nanjiang Prefecture."

"Originally, if you had surrendered obediently, you could have become a prefect. Even if it wasn't as prestigious as the emperor, it would still be a win-win for us all."

"Now that you insist on taking things too far, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Ji Mie's face turned pale instantly when he heard this. He widened his eyes in disbelief and roared:

"Impossible! How could the Saint of Southern Border submit to you?"

There was a hint of teasing in Chu Zhao's eyes:

"Ji Mie, do you think everyone is as selfish and cruel as you? You only care about your own throne and ignore the people of the world."

"You...what methods did you use?" Ji Mie glared at the two of them angrily and asked unwillingly.

Gu Xi smiled slightly:

"Methods? I don't bother to use means. I treat people with sincerity and win them over with virtue. The Saint of Southern Border is different from you. She knows that being an enemy of Fengyi Country is tantamount to self-destruction. Only by submitting to Fengyi Country can Southern Border prosper."

Ji Mie’s face turned pale, and he finally realized that he had completely failed.

The Saint of Southern Frontier, this treacherous villain, had actually already defected to the Fengyi Kingdom!

He lowered his head dejectedly and said:

"Okay, I agree to surrender. I wonder if the Empress will allow me to serve as the prefect of Northern Yan?"

Wow, even at this time, he still doesn't forget to fight for benefits for himself. He is really a man who can bend and stretch.

Gu Xi shook his head:

"It's too late! I gave you a chance, but you didn't take it."

Ji Mie raised his head:

"But if you kill me, the people of Beiyan will hate you to the core, and even if you take over Beiyan, you will never be able to live in peace!"

Gu Xi said:

"Who said I want to kill you? You are so smart and ruthless, I think it would be a pity to kill you, why not give you another chance and make you a general and lead the troops to fight?"

"Ah?" Ji Mie was surprised.

He thought that if he fought hard, he might be able to save his life, but he would most likely be imprisoned in the Central Plains for life like the Turkic king.

He didn't expect that the Queen of Fengyi Kingdom would actually let him lead the troops.

While he was screaming, Gu Xi flicked his finger and a pill flew into Ji Mie's mouth and slid down into his stomach.

Ji Mie was horrified:

"What did you feed me?!"

Gu Xi said calmly:

"Poison. This poison attacks once a month, and the pain goes deep into the bone marrow. If it attacks three times, you will die. I will give you the antidote once a month. As long as you work hard for me, I will not treat you unfairly, General Ji."

Ji Mie is different from the Saint Maiden of Southern Xinjiang. Nan Keling cares about the people. As long as the people of Southern Xinjiang can live a good life, she will naturally obey.

But Ji Mie is selfish and cruel. If you want to use him, you have to control him.

"You—ugh!"

Ji Mie scratched his throat, trying to spit out the poison, but it was no use.

"Empress, I sincerely surrender, please give me the antidote!"

Chu Zhao glared at him:

"You still call yourself "I", General Ji!"

A hint of humiliation flashed across Ji Mie's eyes, and he said bitterly:

"Your Majesty, I accept your order and thank you!"
