MTL - Thrown Into the Wolf’s Den! Zaizai Holds Space In His Hands To Survive the Disaster Year

Chapter 657 Meditation x Xie Suzhi (1)

 Written before: This extra chapter is the story of the acquaintance of Ning Ning’s mother Shen Yiyi and Xie Suzhi. It can be understood as the setting of a beautiful independent time-traveling girl and a young boy who becomes a powerful minister.

   *

 In the fifth year of Chengxi's reign, the emperor had just ascended the throne.

 During the reign of the late emperor, in order to balance the relationship between the families and let them check each other, a lot of military power was released.

By the generation of the emperor, the problem of the tyranny of the aristocratic families has been solved, so most of the military power must be taken back into the hands to avoid the situation where the aristocratic families gradually rely on military power to become powerful.

Therefore, the emperor launched a series of "cleaning up" operations in the court. Whenever any military general was found to have corruption, bribery, or style problems, he would use this as a raft and severely punish him by depriving him of his military power.

 For a time, the military attachés in the DPRK were anxious and uneasy, and there were also some strong-tempered military generals who were unwilling to hand over their power just like this. They united with their subordinates and colleagues to submit a memorial to resist, but the end was miserable.

In order to make the plan go more smoothly, the emperor arranged for Xie Suzhi, a young and powerful official in the dynasty, to be responsible for promoting the matter.

Every minister knows that Xie Suzhi was born in a noble family. His city was unfathomable, he was good at strategy, and he was ruthless and cold-blooded. His mentor Fu Laotaishi was exposed by him for accepting bribes, and his entire family was destroyed.

On the execution ground, Mrs. Fu cursed Xie Suzhi for his cruelty and cruelty, and cursed him: "I will never find the one I love, my family will be ruined, my wife will be separated!"

Xie Suzhi, however, stood aside and watched with cold eyes, saying nothing. He watched the skull of Mrs. Fu roll to the ground before he turned and left.

Because of this incident, Xie Suzhi's reputation for betraying his mentor and being ruthless and unjust spread completely. However, the emperor rewarded him with a Shangfang sword because of his distinction between public and private matters.

When the ministers heard that Xie Suzhi was in charge of this operation to "clean up" the military generals, they immediately put their tail between their legs, fearing that he would be found out. After all, which high-ranking official is truly clean?

It was late autumn, and a storm came quickly at night, and a hazy rain curtain enveloped the quiet Qi Mansion.

It was almost midnight, and everyone had fallen asleep. Only the patrolling guards were walking back and forth.

But I don’t know which courtyard came from the maidservant’s scream: “There is an assassin! An assassin has sneaked into the mansion!”

These words were like a drop of water falling into a pan of oil. With the courtyard as a dot, panic spread around. Then one, two, and countless lights lit up. The guards held torches and hurried over.

The contemplative Little Lotus Courtyard is close to the courtyard of Qi Jingchun, the third lady of the Qi Mansion. The noise and noise outside made the sleeping beauty inside the house turn over impatiently.

 “Bang bang bang—”

　　The sound of knocking on the door was particularly harsh, and the beauty was completely awakened. Her black hair was spread over her shoulders, and she sat up. Her pretty pink and white face was full of irritation from not getting enough sleep.

"Miss, miss, wake up!" was the voice of her maid.

The door was suddenly opened, and a wisp of autumn wind carried raindrops and blew in instantly, causing the bead curtain to sway.

Shen Siyi, with black hair flying, wearing light clothes, looked at the maid with a rainy face and an anxious look, and scolded: "What happened? My mother and step-brother are both here, can't they solve it? You have to come and disturb me."

Anxiang wiped the rain off her face: "No, miss, there is an assassin in the mansion! The eldest lady has ordered you and the third miss to get up and stay in the house without going anywhere, lest the assassin comes into the room. If you come here, it will be dangerous."

As he spoke, Anxiang poked his head around, looking around behind Shen Siyi. The room, which was neither big nor small, could be seen at a glance, and there was no way to hide anyone.

Shen Shenyi looked bored: "If you make such a big noise, even if there is an assassin, he would have run away long ago. If he dares to enter my room, I will chop off all three of his legs!"

Anxiang knew the character of this second young lady and did not dare to provoke her again. She only warned: "Then you must not wander around."

"It's late at night. I won't sleep. Where can I go? You'd better go and see the third sister. She's timid and must be scared." Shen Siyi finished speaking and closed the door.

She lay down on the couch again, covered her shoulders with the quilt, closed her eyes, and after a while her breathing became even, and she seemed to have fallen asleep. The large yellow pear wood cabinet door in the house was slowly pushed open a crack. After a moment, a tall figure walked out silently.

His figure is as tall as a jade bone in the breeze. Unfortunately, he is wearing night clothes and his face is covered, revealing only a pair of clear and cold eyes.

The man in black quietly opened the corner of the window and looked outside. Just as he was about to leave through the window, a thoughtful voice suddenly came from the other side of the bed -

"If you leave now, you will be shot into a sieve by my sworn brother's archers within half a stick of incense."

The man in black looked over with sharp eyes, and saw that the girl who looked like she was sleeping just now had already sat up. The faint firelight outside the window was projected in from a distance, making her porcelain white skin stand out in the darkness. It emits a faint gleaming light, like the brilliance of a pearl.

Under the white pajamas, a delicate figure like a flower was vaguely outlined, with jet black hair, a snow-white and rosy face, coupled with Shen Yi's unruffled expression, which made the man in black feel a little surprised and vigilant.

Such a confident girl, could it be that she was just waiting for him to come as a trap?

The man in black couldn't help but hold his hand on the sword at his waist.

Shen Siyi looked at his actions and laughed softly: "You hurt me, and you can't get out. If brother is a smart man, he should put down his sword and come to discuss it with me. After all, I am the master now, You are a guest.”

As she spoke, she folded her arms and crossed her legs, her white and tender feet rising slightly with the movement.

The man in black has never seen a woman who doesn't pay attention to rules and etiquette. He immediately looked away and said in a voice as cold as jade: "What is your purpose?"

Shen Shenyi was about to speak when a faintly fragrant voice came from outside the door: "The eldest young master is here. I just went to see the second young lady's room. There is no bad person hiding."

"Impossible," the serious voice of Mr. Qi, Shen Siyi's brother, came: "The man in black was hit by an arrow. We followed the blood and found it here. He was either hiding here or at Jingchun's place. Just now I had already I went to Jingchun’s house to search, but only Siyi’s room was left unchecked.”

Shen Siyi's expression changed and he looked at the man in black: "Are you injured? Hey-"

Before she finished speaking, the man in black walked directly towards her. Just when Shen Siyi thought he wanted to hijack her, she didn't expect that he quickly got on her bed and then got off the bed curtain.

Shen Shen became anxious: "You bastard, you dare to get into my bed with blood on your body!"

"Shut up," the man's eyebrows were dark and his eyes were even sharper. He leaned behind Shen Siyi, pressed his long sword against her lower back, and threatened coldly: "Get rid of your troublesome sworn brother."

  Shen Shengyi gritted her teeth. At this moment, the door was banged by her sworn brother Mr. Qi.

"I mean, open the door. It's my eldest brother. An assassin has broken into the mansion and is coming in your direction. Let me search him."

After Mr. Qi finished speaking, he did not wait long and opened the door directly. His stern eyes swept across the room. There was only a girl who had just put on clothes. She was as beautiful as a flower in the dark night.

She was just about to put on her shoes when she saw someone breaking in. She hurriedly shrank her two milky white feet and hid most of her body behind the opaque curtain.

“Brother,” the contemplative white face was full of panic and embarrassment: “You just barged in like this, how can I see anyone in the future!”

Mr. Qi quickly looked away and withdrew his foot that was about to step in.

"I'm just afraid that the bad guys are hiding in your room without you knowing it. That would be dangerous. Since you have nothing to do, I'll leave first."

He was about to close the door and leave when a gust of wind blew along the half-open window in the house and towards the door.

Mr. Qi's personal guard immediately stopped and whispered to him: "Sir, there is the smell of blood in the second lady's room."

　　So, the door that was about to be closed was suddenly pushed open again by Mr. Qi.
