Chapter 2012 She is not one of the four beauties
When Chu Ge said "someone come", Shi Li's heart skipped a beat.
If his hand hadn't been on her shoulder, Shi Li even suspected that she would be the one he was going to drag away in the next second.
This man gave her a very dangerous feeling. Although she had never seen him angry, even when he smiled, Shi Li felt scared.
The guard came in in response, and Chu Ge's voice was flat.
"A nationwide wanted list for Fang Li. Capture Xiao Jiang from the back garden. Cut him into pieces, and have all the palace servants watch the execution."
"Yes."
The conversation between the king and the guard was brief and uneventful.
As an audience, Shi Li's heart trembled again and again.
"Cut into pieces" only has four words, but just thinking about this scene and thinking about all the palace people going to watch it is really chilling.
But there was nothing wrong with Chu Ge doing this.
It can even be said that he said "cut into pieces" not because Xiao Jiang deserved to die, but because he had to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys so that others would not dare to have the intention of collaborating with the enemy.
The rule of this era is bloody and cruel. A weak country can be annihilated if it is not careful. Even the most powerful country can lose everything because of a single careless move.
Shi Li stood by with her eyes downcast, not saying a word.
But Chu Ge turned his head to look at her, and seemed to see her face turn pale, and her hand slightly moved away from his shoulder.
"Beauty, are you afraid of me now? Or are you afraid of Fang Li?"
Shi Li: ...
What kind of a question is this?!
But thinking about it carefully, she seemed to be more afraid of Fang Li. Although Chu Ge was dangerous, she didn't do anything that would make him kill her, so she didn't seem that scary.
Fang Li is different.
He didn't treat her as a human being at all. He treated her as a chess piece from beginning to end. He just wanted her to do things according to his requirements without considering what she would face or what her fate would be.
After thinking about it, Shi Li felt that her decision to confess everything to Chu Ge was absolutely right!
So, she raised her head and faced Chu Ge.
"I have not done anything to offend the king or the Moon Nation, so I am naturally not afraid of the king."
Under the candlelight, her eyes sparkled, and her loose black hair wrapped around her stunning face, as soft as a pearl.
Chu Ge looked at it steadily for a while, then smiled with seeming satisfaction.
"Very good. I like beautiful women too." There was a smile in his voice. His hand suddenly fell on Shi Li's head and rubbed it lightly.
It seems like encouragement, affirmation and comfort.
Early the next morning, Shi Li sat in front of the dressing table.
On the dressing table made of golden nanmu wood, there are a wide variety of jewelry, various gems and jades, allowing her to choose and wear them at will.
These jewelries were delivered one after another by palace servants. No one said anything when they were delivered. They just placed them in a side hall and then left quietly.
Shi Li felt that Chu Ge should be very satisfied with her obedience, so she enjoyed it with peace of mind.
When she was halfway through combing her hair, Zheng Mei came running in from outside in a hurry, her little face looking very pale.
"A Li, don't go out. There's a murder going on outside. It's scary!" Zheng Mei walked over, patting her chest, looking like she was still frightened.
Shi Li knew that she must have seen Xiao Jiang being tortured to death, so she nodded immediately, "Okay, then we won't go out today."
She didn't expect that Chu Ge really had no scruples at all and cut the spy into pieces directly in the palace.
It's kind of scary.
At the same time, the wanted notice for Fang Li quietly spread throughout the Moon Kingdom overnight.
Fang Li was hiding well in a farmer's house, but he was not an ordinary person. He soon realized something was wrong and escaped before being discovered by the people around him.
Later, he managed to find out that he had become a fugitive in Quanyue Country. He felt a buzzing in his head, as if he had been struck by lightning.
After that, he didn't dare to stay in Yue Kingdom anymore and thought of going to other countries to avoid the limelight.
As a result, when he arrived at the border, he found that several surrounding countries that were friendly with the Moon Kingdom had posted wanted warrants for him.
Finally, he was forced into a corner and had to secretly return to the Wu Kingdom.
At this time, the Witch Kingdom was in a state of disarray because the Witch King and Queen were captured. Both the soldiers and the people had lost their spirits and were like walking corpses, living their lives numbly.
Fang Li saw it all and was anxious. After some thought, he finally walked with heavy steps to the Shi family who lived in seclusion in the mountains.
He knocked gently on the wooden door, and the person who opened the door was the girl he had been thinking about day and night.
When the two met, Shi Li's eyes turned red, "Brother Fang..."
Fang Li instantly became as soft as steel, but when he thought about the decision he had just made, he felt extremely sorry for the weak girl in front of him.
He...had no choice.
