Chapter 175: The King's Request
The king looked left and right and said, "The two young heroes have such martial arts, which is the blessing of my country." ”
At this time, the audience began to discuss, and the officials who were still accusing the two of being impolite just now were full of words of admiration at this moment.
Lin Peng and Ling Ling looked at each other and smiled, and the performance of all the officials in the field before and after made the two of them speechless.
Wang Shang continued: "Since Miss Ling Ling has already demonstrated her martial arts, would it be good for Lin Shaoxia to show it now?"
Lin Peng looked left and right, then bowed and said, "It's okay to show it, but I don't know which adult is willing to cooperate." ”
The audience was silent all of a sudden, there was no head-to-ear discussion, no praise just now, they lowered their heads, their eyes were scared, and their faces were full of "Don't look for me".
Wang Shang laughed, this laughter surprised everyone present, and he said: "Since you Aiqing is so unwilling to cooperate, Lin Shaoxia shows the will of the lonely king, forget it." ”
All the officials in the audience immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere that had just been suppressed disappeared, and they began to talk in a low voice again.
Kang Gong said publicly: "If there is something to play, there is nothing to retreat." ”
Hearing this, after the group of officials knelt down to worship the king in unison, they walked towards the outside of the hall one after another, their steps were a little faster, for fear that the king would call them back again, they talked about it in twos and threes, and they didn't have to think about it, it must be related to Lin Peng and the others.
At this time, the king also got up and walked to the side of the main hall.
Lin Peng and the others stood in place, looking at the slowly emptying hall, a little puzzled.
Gonggong Kang came over and said in a low voice, "The king invites you to go to the side hall for a while...... Come with me. ”
So saying, he got up and walked in the direction that the king had just left, and the two looked at each other for a while, and then followed.
In the side hall, Wang Shang sat on a seat with a golden carved dragon, and when he saw the two of them walking in, he waved his hand and motioned for the two to sit on the seat on one side.
After giving the salute, Gonggong Kang withdrew and closed the door of the side hall with his hand.
Lin Peng looked at the closed door and looked at the king in surprise.
Wang Shang said: "The lonely king doesn't say those kind words anymore, and invites the two young heroes to come over because I want the two to help the lonely king." ”
Ling Ling looked at Lin Peng, this matter still had to be opened by Lin Peng.
Lin Peng said slowly: "If the king needs help with anything, just say it, and I will not shirk within the ability of the two of us." ”
Wang Shang looked at Lin Peng suspiciously, and asked, "Aren't you curious why King Gu invited you over after retreating?"
Lin Peng smiled slightly and said, "I know that you will keep us, because I am afraid that it will be difficult to find this official of the DPRK and China who is the same person as you." ”
The king was silent for a moment, and said: "That's true, the lonely king has not been the king for a long time, if it weren't for the lonely king who has this royal bloodline, I'm afraid they won't even give the lonely king this opportunity to speak." ”
Lin Peng frowned and asked, "What does the king mean?"
The king took a deep breath and said: "There is civil strife in the palace, brothers kill each other, and there are countless casualties. To put it bluntly, the Lone King is now just a puppet. ”
Lin Peng was silent, he expected that this king would not be convinced, but he didn't expect that he would be a lord who had been set aside.
Lin Peng turned to smile slightly and said, "The king told us this, aren't you afraid that those officials will know?"
Wang Shang shook his head and replied, "I can't care about that much anymore. ”
He continued, "You must all know about the Yin-Yang Sect's invasion of Qian City. ”
Lin Peng nodded and said, "Actually, I am originally from Qiancheng. ”
The king nodded, as if he already understood, and he continued: "This Yin-Yang Sect is very calculating, using missionary purposes as a reason to enter Qiancheng, and then developing vigorously when the palace is fighting, and even attacking Licheng in the name of expansion, if you don't defend it desperately, Yue Guo is afraid that he will lose two cities in a row." ”
Lin Peng asked curiously: "The king knows all this, it turns out that I was wrong, thinking that Wang Cheng would let that Yin and Yang Sect Hu come." ”
Wang Shang smiled slightly, the smile was a little bitter, he said: "Originally, this Yin Yang Sect was going to send troops to suppress it at the beginning of the development of Qiancheng, but the internal fighting in this Wang City involved the strength of the whole country, so it has been shelved, and when they attacked Kasa City, the Lone King had the intention to send troops to rescue Kasa City, but the Lone King had no right to mobilize troops and horses." ”
Only then did Lin Peng know that this king had the intention to govern this Yue country well, but he was a puppet, powerful and powerless, and there was no soldier to mobilize, so he could only let the Yin Yang Sect do nonsense.
Lin Peng said: "Your Majesty, if you don't think of some way, this Kasa City will really be lost." ”
The king was silent for a moment, and said: "How can the lonely king not know this truth, but above this court, I don't know how many people have already received the benefits of the Yin and Yang Sect, and they only care about their own interests, and they don't care about the life or death of this Yue country. ”
Lin Peng asked, "Why did you choose us? You know that at our age, it is difficult to convince the public to do anything. ”
The king's face stiffened, and a cold meaning flashed in his eyes, and he said, "If this is the case, let us solve it in the most direct way you can." ”
Lin Peng frowned and said, "Are you saying that you will solve it by killing people?"
The king said firmly: "The lonely king has to be responsible for the people of Yue Kingdom. ”
Lin Peng nodded and said, "Okay, we'll help with this, and we'll discuss the specific situation in detail." ”
Ling Ling smiled slightly, bowed to the king, and said, "Thank you for the gift from the king, this pair of rings is very good." ”
The king smiled slightly and said, "This is one of the few treasures of the Lone King, but this pair of rings may be prepared for you." ”
Ling Ling asked, "What does the king mean?"
The king smiled slightly, and said: "The lone king was originally just a powerless royal clan, at your age, although the first king went hunting in the suburbs, he met an immortal who claimed to be from the outside world, this immortal held this pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets, and was looking for someone destined to give it to the other party, saying that it was a good fate. ”
He continued: "The Lone King saw that this pair of rings was very delicate and liked it very much, so he wanted to buy it at a high price, but the immortal insisted on giving it away and not selling it. When the lonely king begged, the man looked at my face and said that I was the order of the master, but I needed the help of two evil stars. He also told me that I would keep this pair of rings on my behalf, and that I would give them to two lovers when I met them in the future. I have to see two of you today, and I guess this lover is two. ”
Lin Peng and Ling Ling glanced at each other, Evil Star, didn't you mean them.
The king looked at the two of them and continued, "I don't know if the two of you are the evil stars in the mouth of the immortal, but I am sure that you are the pair of lovers in his mouth, because the pair of pairs is in your hands, and they should have found their true masters. ”
Lin Peng and Ling Ling glanced at each other, there was a lover, this sentence was too lethal, and they instantly felt that their feelings for each other were somewhat sublimated.
Wang Shang looked at the two of them, his eyes were happy, and then said: "Two young heroes, the Lone King knows that the second master is not a thing in the pool, and he will definitely leave this plane to pursue the peak of martial arts, but since we are destined to get together, your family is still in this face, and it is still in this Yue country, so the Lone King hopes that you can form a good relationship with the Lone King, we are not friends, but the Lone King hopes that we can be friends, if you can assist the Lone King wholeheartedly, the Lone King will definitely give the greatest courtesy to your family and friends." ”
Lin Peng smiled slightly and said: "The king doesn't have to make this promise, time will go, things will change, you swear today, I know that the king will keep his promise, but what about the king's descendants? Can you still say the same thing as you? My family and friends may no longer be alive, but what about their descendants? How can I explain it?"
Wang Shang frowned, thinking to himself, the young man in front of him is not the kind of person who acts recklessly, he is very sensible, he can see the pros and cons of this matter, and he can look beyond the immediate and farther.
Wang Shang squeezed out a smile and said, "The lonely king must first apologize for his gaffe just now, how should Lin Shaoxia intended?"
Lin Peng was silent for a moment, and said: "Give Kacheng enough rights, Ling Jianghai will be the general of Yue State, command all the soldiers and horses of Yue State, and the position will be hereditary. ”
Wang Shang's eyes narrowed slightly, sensing the unkindness in Lin Peng's words, and hurriedly said: "I can agree to what you said, but I want to add one." ”
Lin Peng was a little stunned, can he agree to such a request? It turns out that people are cornered, and they can agree to anything. He began to reflect on whether his demands were excessive.
The king said: "I can agree to this request, but there is one requirement, that is, the people of Licheng should all move to Qiancheng, and I will hand over this Qiancheng to Ling Jianghai to manage, and in the future, Qiancheng can develop freely without asking the king, but it needs to be handed over to the treasury 500,000 spirit coins every year." ”
Lin Peng frowned, counted the three, and then nodded.
Wang Shang said again: "There is another point, this is not a requirement, but an obligation, that is, everything in the royal city, Ling Jianghai must pay close attention, once he needs King Qin, he must send troops to help as soon as possible." ”
Lin Peng smiled slightly and said, "Then I wish the king a thousand years." ”
Wang Shangqiang also squeezed out a smile and said, "I still rely on Aiqing to protect Wang Quan." ”
Ling Ling looked at Lin Peng, as if looking at a stranger, these few words of dialogue actually made her father a prince, in front of her was indeed her dearest brother, but was it the original brother? She was a little skeptical, or was this what Lin Peng was originally like? No matter what, she still felt that her brother was so powerful, he did things thoroughly without moving, he was still the existence that fascinated him, how many surprises did he have waiting for him? She was very curious.
