Chapter 1136: It's hard to have both
Hearing Mei Ji's words, Jiu Ge was very pleased, looked at Mei Ji and asked, "Mother, what you said is true?"
Mei Ji nodded slightly, and replied: "Really, when this matter settles down, I will pass on the position of patriarch to you, and I will live in a simple place and live for a long time." ”
Mei Ji said as she spoke, her expression darkened, her eyes slowly swept over Ye You, Qin Sisi and others who were approaching her, and said sadly: "However, I may not be able to wait for that day, Jiu'er, you will be left alone in the future, you have to take good care of yourself, and your mother can no longer accompany you." ”
Jiu Ge felt a pain in his heart, and hurriedly comforted gently: "No, as long as my mother has figured it out, I will definitely try to keep the Mother River Hanging City safe." ”
After speaking, Jiu Ge handed Mei Ji over to Li'er to take care of, got up and walked over to meet Ye You and Qin Sisi.
Ye You and Qin Sisi glanced at each other, stopped very tacitly, and looked at Jiu Ge together.
Seeing the two of them so familiar, a dull pain spread in Jiu Ge's heart, he took a deep breath, forcibly took the sourness in his heart, looked at Ye Yu with a calm expression, and said loudly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, my mother has already known that she is wrong, I will cancel the marriage contract with the Heavenly Owl on her behalf, please let my mother go, let go of the Hanging City." ”
Ye You's expression remained unchanged, and he asked in a low voice, "Jiu Ge, if you were me, would you let go of the person who betrayed you?"
Jiu Ge's face turned pale, Ye You was right, if it was him, he should also kill the betrayer as soon as possible.
But there was no way, the traitor was his mother, and he couldn't have watched her be killed, no matter how much she had done wrong.
Jiu Ge's gaze drifted into the distance, the once gorgeous and luxurious Patriarch's Mansion had been destroyed into a mess, and the outside and inside of the Patriarch's Mansion were piles of corpses and rivers of blood.
This is his hometown, is the place where he grew up, although not as magnificent as Fengge Wangcheng, not as enthusiastic and unrestrained as Miaoyin City, not as beautiful as the scenery of Huaxiang City, but the sunset of the long river, the desert lonely smoke, also has its own beauty and glory.
Jiu Ge looked at Ye Yu again, and asked word by word, "Ye You, if you were me, would you give up your mother?"
Ye You's face darkened, he lost his mother at a young age, and his heart was broken, if there was a way to let his mother live a few more years at that time, he would definitely be willing to pay any price.
Yeyou didn't speak, and Jiuge didn't speak.
A traitor who can't let go of ill intentions, and a mother who won't give up his blood connection.
After a long time, Ye You finally spoke, and there was a hint of fierceness in his tone: "Jiu Ge, you are not qualified to negotiate conditions with me now." ”
Jiu Ge smiled sadly and replied: "I have, the Hanging City is not only mine, but also yours, but you will not stay in the Hanging City forever, if you kill all the people of the Changkong Family, without the ruler, the Hanging City will only be more chaotic than before, and the people's lives will be more difficult, is this what you want to see?"
Ye Yu was silent, this was indeed not what he wanted to see, what he wanted was a peaceful, stable, and loyal Hanging City, the Changkong Family had been entrenched here for many years, without the Changkong Family, the rule of the Hanging City was indeed a big problem.
Ah Xia is not prestige enough, and secondly, his magic strength is not enough, and he may not be able to convince the public as a patriarch.
However, let Mei Ji go, who can guarantee that she will not disobey the yang and continue to collude with the heavenly owl?
Qin Sisi looked at Yeyou, then at Jiu Ge, thought for a while, and said persuadly: "Xiao Hei, Jiu Ge is filial, it's better to fulfill him and spare Mei Ji's life!"
"Sisi ......" Ye You looked at Qin Sisi suspiciously, not understanding why she would intercede for Mei Ji so abruptly.
Qin Sisi motioned to Ye Yu with his eyes not to be impatient, and then turned to Jiu Ge and said: "Jiu Ge, I understand your feelings for your mother very well, but your filial piety can't erase everything she has done, just let her go, and when we leave, she may continue to support the Heavenly Owl and continue to kill the people of Hanging City." ”
Jiu Ge immediately said: "I will be optimistic about her, I will try my best to be a good patriarch, don't you believe me?"
After not daring to ask for affection, he only wanted her to believe it.
Qin Sisi lowered his eyes slightly and replied, "I believe in you, but I don't believe in her." "A traitor to the Qin Dynasty, a bloody and violent demon, is not worth believing at all.
Qin Sisi didn't say the latter sentence, she didn't want to hurt Jiu Ge's self-esteem in front of so many people.
Maybe Jiu Ge was once unruly and once connived at Mei Ji's evil behavior, but he had a life-saving grace for her, twice.
Jiu Ge looked at Qin Sisi with a complicated expression, he was glad that she said that she believed in herself, but she refused to believe her mother.
"What do you want to do?" asked Jiu Ge in a low voice.
Qin Sisi sighed and said, "Destroy her source of magic, and we'll let her go." ”
As she spoke, she looked inquiringly at Ye You, who nodded to her, agreeing to her suggestion.
Without the source of magic, Mei Ji will lose all her mana, no different from ordinary people, a toothless tiger, even if she still wants to bite people, she doesn't have that ability.
"No!" Before Jiu Ge could say anything, Mei Ji behind him had already shouted loudly, wrapping her arms around her stomach and rubbing her hips against the ground and retreating.
"Jiu'er, you can't promise her, mother doesn't want to become a waste, mother doesn't want to become an old and ugly old woman, if that's really the case, then mother might as well die. Mei Ji cried and shouted, looking at Jiu Ge with tears in her eyes.
Jiu Ge's face was embarrassed, he wanted to speak and stopped, he was also very entangled, and he didn't know what to do. Night Shadow would never give up, and Mother would never want to have the source of magic destroyed.
What does he have to do to make everyone happy?
Li'er's eyes that have always been as cold as ice suddenly appeared full of tenderness, she glanced at Jiu Ge deeply, stepped forward to help Mei Ji, and said softly: "Don't panic, patriarch, Gongzi will definitely have a way." ”
Hearing Li'er's gentle words, Mei Ji's flustered mood calmed down a little, but soon she felt that something was not quite right.
This maid of Jiu Ge has always been cold-eyed, except for Jiu Ge, she is disdainful of everyone, how can she suddenly be so gentle and sensible?
Before Mei Ji could figure out the reason for Li'er's personality change, she noticed a slight tingling pain on the back of the hand near Li'er, and she quickly pushed Li'er away, and found that her entire palm began to turn black.
"You...... You dare to poison me?!" Mei Ji was shocked and anxious, and quickly wanted to take out the Yurong Pill from the storage ring to detoxify, but the blackened palm had lost consciousness, and she was no longer able to manipulate the storage ring, and she couldn't take out anything.
