Shi Di's time was really not easy, of course, it was mainly from the torment in his heart.

Even more terrible than death is waiting for death, especially when there is almost a consensus that you are going to die, and that kind of day is a torture every moment.

Shi Di is not a person who can be content to die, otherwise he would not have caused the disaster before his life. But right now, he can't wait for death and has no choice, because he has completely lost the power to protect himself. Donggong Lux and Zahu Yicong, who were originally in turmoil, had already been lost in the previous disaster, and when they didn't have enough strength, their fierce flames could no longer be extended.

Of course, Shi Di has not made efforts, such as praying to God and worshiping Buddha.

He went to visit the great monk Buddha Tucheng who was still in the palace several times, and asked seriously, these Hoover gods are not inherent in China, and they will not teach everyone to be moral, but encourage people to break the family and break the law, his father is precisely because of the murder of the ancestral bloodline, contrary to human ethics, has been cut off from the teachings of the sages and philosophers of Zhuxia, worried that they will be retributed like those clans in the Jin Kingdom, so they worship these evil gods and Buddhas, can they get real protection?

Shi Di was very curious about how strong these Buddha's supernatural powers were, because he saw the ancestor Shi Le's devouring lord and was strong and worshiped Shamen, but in the end he was retributed, so he suspected that his father Shi Hu might not be able to be truly protected.

Of course, at the moment, he is not in the mood to care about the situation of others, and asks all kinds of questions that eventually lead to a question, that is, how much sincerity does he need to pay in exchange for these Buddhas to protect him and achieve his achievements?

Although Buddha Tucheng has been in the court for a long time, he is a real virtuous monk, and when he heard the many bastard theories of wolf ambitions like Shi Di, he simply kept his mouth shut and did not say a word. Shi Diqi has such a wonderful ability, even if ordinary people are only in the same room with him, they will feel that they have been defiled and filthy after a long time.

Failing to seek the protection of the Shamen God and Buddha, Shi Di's heart was frustrated, and it was also because he was really weak at the moment, otherwise how could he tolerate the great monk Buddha Tucheng ignoring him so much.

But things seem to be gradually turning around, first of all, Shi Min, the striker sent back to Xiangguo by the lord, did not have any substantial harm to him, as for Shi Min and Shi Zun colluded together, under his guise to spread his wings, this Shi Di is also clear, but he was still worried about whether the lord would kill him, and it was already a kind of flattery to Shi Min if he couldn't bear it, hoping that the other party could pull him at a critical moment.

After that, the main itinerary was slow, and he did not return to Xiangguo for a long time, but several times the envoys returned to the capital quickly and copied some ministers' portals, but they were not involved in Shidi.

This inevitably gradually gave Shi Di an illusion, that is, although the Lord was disappointed in him, he did not give up completely. Especially in his opinion, among the sons, only Shi Xuan can be his opponent, and now that Shi Xuan has been killed by the Lord by cruel means, then his chances of survival will naturally increase greatly.

As he himself said, otherwise, who would trust the good family business?

Not only Shi Tai had such an illusion, but even Shi Shigui and other elders of the Qiang Hu Elderly, when the lord did not express his position on how to deal with the prince, they also faintly felt that the lord should be reluctant to give up this heir who had been cultivated for many years. It is an eventful time in the country right now, and if you kill the prince again, it will do more harm than good if you add such variables.

Because of this, these people also changed their previous indifference to Shi Di, and turned their heads and leaned forward again. Shi Zun's little bastard was not very reliable, seeing that they were unable to intercept the Jin army's return to the south, he left them aside, and turned to mingle with a rising young man like Shi Min, which also made them feel lost and ashamed, but they were also powerless to retaliate.

But in fact, Shi Di doesn't think much of this group of old guys, but now his power is extremely poor, and he can only refuse to come. When the lord's edict came, ordering him to capture Shi Xuan's family and go out to welcome him, what he really remembered was the force run by Shi Zun and Shi Min.

But these two bold and blatant rebellions against Shi Di still surprised and annoyed him. It's just that at the moment, he still has a kind of fear for the rest of his life, and at this time, he doesn't dare to neglect the Lord's order, and he has no time to delve into it, so he can only hate and declare outside the camp that after seeing the Lord later, he will ask the Lord to kill these two privately stored armor soldiers and disrespectful Diao, and then he is a little unwilling to leave.

failed to get Shi Zun's private department, Shi Di could only rely on Xiangcheng Gongshi Shegui and others again, let them use all their wealth and subordinates, and finally set up a welcome team that had always been considerable.

As for Shi Xuan's family, they had actually been captured and killed by Shi Xuan's people long ago, and the bones were all thrown away.

But Shi Di had his own way, he followed the appearance of Shi Xuan's family, searched for people with similar posture and appearance in the city and the palace, and then killed them, and then disfigured their faces, put all the corpses in a large coffin, and then led the welcoming team to leave Xiangguo and go to the lord.

Although Shi Hu's ceremonial journey was slow, after more than half a month, it was not far from Xiangguo, and its front honor guard was only a dozen miles away from Xiangguo.

So Shi Di didn't travel for a long time, and he met the road ahead. At this moment, Shi Di was a little less arrogant, and condescended to personally march into the camp to summon the general who led the team, and asked with a light smile on his face: "Qing slave, when will the lord arrive in the capital?" I miss my father like a sickness, and I can't bear to bow down. ”

The leader of the Praetorian Guard this way was a young and strong, handsome and burly weak-crowned young man, whose name was Zu Qing, who was the son of the late Northern Expedition famous general Zu Li and the young son of Zu Yue. Zu Yue died of illness in Hebei many years ago, and this young son was adopted by Shi Hu, and now he is also young and strong, and was appointed by Shi Hu as the general of the Chinese Army.

Although Shi Di was affectionate, Zu Qing was still respectful, and then said: "The lord is on the trip, and the last general will not dare to talk privately, but before leaving, the edict also has instructions, asking His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to supervise the construction of a camp outside the city, so as to wait for the ceremonial drive to stay." For the rest of the affairs, an edict will be issued later. ”

According to his temperament in previous years, Shi Kui would not have the patience to wait in the suburbs, even if the person he was waiting for was his father. But for him now, as long as the Lord does not show ill will to him, it is the greatest good news, and as for any commands, how dare he resist and resist.

So Shi Di began to enthusiastically look for open areas around Xiangguo City, and ordered the people in the city to go into battle together, in order to catch up with the construction period, even the families of those powerful families were driven to the factory by him.

In just four or five days, a large-scale camp has begun to take shape, and many of the materials used are simply to demolish the remnants of Jiande Palace.

And some stone carvings, cows, horses, and drums used to highlight the majesty, because it is difficult to complete the work in such a short time, simply dismantle the mausoleum of the ancestor Shile and appropriated it here. At this time, Shi Di has a very good understanding of priorities, when it comes to the relationship, uncle and grandfather are not as good as pro-Lao Tzu, not to mention that his little life is still in the hands of that pro-Lao Tzu.

In the past few days, the young Praetorian Guard general Zu Qing accompanied him throughout the whole process, and sent people to record Shi Di's words and deeds, including his close contacts with which powerful family in the city, and sent people to the main camp that was getting closer and closer to Xiangguo every night.

In this way, on the evening of the sixth day, a new edict was sent to this camp, but it was not for Shi Di, who was already eager to wear, but secretly to Zu Qing.

This day is still ordinary, and after the end of the day's supervision, the prince Shi Di invited Zu Qing to dine with him as usual, and asked the lord how the itinerary was. And Zu Qing also refused as usual, but after the meal, he did not patrol the camp as usual, but sat alone in the camp and silently sharpened his sword.

"Ah Lang, it's the third watch."

In the quiet of the night, an old man of the Zu clan walked into the camp and whispered.

After hearing this, Zu Qing nodded, took out a small tablet from his arms and placed it on the case, prostrate under the big bow, and murmured in his mouth: "Grandpa, my son is incompetent, he can't kill the thief in a grand manner, he can only take revenge." I don't know when the family will be innocent, but as long as I still live, I vow not to die of illness......"

After that, he got up in full clothes and was walked out of the armor, and there were already hundreds of armor soldiers standing silently outside, and he whispered in the army: "Where does the prince stay at night?" In addition, those who are close to the door of the prince in recent days, and the Lord must be eliminated, there must be no omission! Do it! ”

After the order was given, in addition to the hundreds of armor in front of this ancestor Qing, there were large and small teams walking out of the camp in the night, and then scattered in all directions in the night.

Prince Shi Di has rarely slept early lately, and in the final analysis, as long as the Lord does not make it clear what he wants to do with him one day, he will not be completely at ease. The same is true of this night, although the night is very deep, he still has no sleep, the candles in the hall are bright, and the ladies under the hall who have been taken from the powerful portal are dancing, Shi Di just holds his cheek with one hand, stunned.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the hall, and Shi Di's heart suddenly became irritable, and he grabbed the golden scepter in his hand to drive away those servants, and then walked out. As soon as he walked to the bottom of the corridor, he saw that Zu Qing was leading hundreds of armor soldiers to this line, and as for the guards he had arranged outside, they had already been driven to the side and surrounded them.

"Green ...... Zu, General Zu, this is ......"

Seeing this scene, Shi Di was already shocked in his heart, and sweat suddenly gushed out on his forehead. However, at this moment, Zu Qing had already rushed in front of him, raised his leg and kicked him in the chest, and Shi Di's whole person flew upside down and fell back into the hall.

"Zu Qing, you dare to harm me? I am the Lord...... Is the Lord, the Lord going to kill me? The old dog is treacherous, and he actually deceived me......"

Shi Di was finally not too confused, struggled to get up after falling to the ground, and quickly reacted, opened his mouth and scolded.

Zu Qing stepped forward proudly, and before the sword could be unsheathed, he swung it into Shi Di's cheek, and then knocked him to the ground. Shi Di was brave and strong in his old years, but he had been pampered for many years, and where was the opponent of Zu Qing, a young warrior like Zu Qing, who had to struggle and fight after that, but he was soon beaten to the ground by Zu Qing's fists and feet, and finally he could only continue to scold, scolding not only Zu Qing, a wicked slave who aided in abuse, but also scolded his father who obviously gave him hope, but wanted to put him to death.

When Shi Di couldn't get up anymore, Zu Qing stepped forward and stepped on Shi Di's neck, making it difficult for him to spit out a lot of foul words, and then turned his head to take a pair of iron hooks from his subordinates, knocked open Shi Di's teeth, pulled out his tongue with an iron hook, and then picked up Shi Di's golden scepter and smashed his hands and feet with his own hands.

Shi Di was already convulsed in pain at this time, and his mouth was full of blood, but before he could get out of breath for a while, Zu Qing stepped forward, leaned over and whispered in Shi Di's ear: "Your father still pities you and asks me to give you a good time." However, if it weren't for your many abuses back then, my father would not have died suddenly in humiliation. ”

At this time, there were more than a dozen people in the hall, all of whom had been following the Zu clan for a long time from the north and south, and when they heard Zu Qingyan and the death of the old master, their eyes were all red. As for Shi Di, he had already been tortured by the pain at this time, and his whole body was convulsed and twisted on the ground like a bloody loach.

After finishing speaking, Zu Qing threw the crippled Shi Di in his place, led the crowd to withdraw, and ordered people to nail the doors, windows and passages of the hall here, and did not allow idle people to enter to offend the remains of the Venerable, and ordered all the surrounding princes to be killed.

If he waited until dawn, people from all walks of life returned one after another to report the results of the battle, Zu Qing looked up at the sky, and then sighed: "Although the Lord ordered the return of the prince's bones, how can I wait for the minions to bear the Lord's injury again......"

With his order, a lot of fires were put into this hall, and when the fire burned the place, Zu Qingcai ordered people to enter this ash and grab a few handfuls of ashes and put them into a clay pot, together with the bones of those powerful people such as Xiangcheng Gongshi and the like, and sent them to the returning honor team.
