Chapter 750: The Eastern Territory Crisis
Needless to say, the harmonious atmosphere in the banquet was needless to say, Chu Ke and Bei Jinghong and Hua Wuyue praised the dishes on that table, except for the slight stiffness on Chu Ke's face after drinking the wine named Zhu Yeqing, which could be said to be really perfect.
After the banquet was dispersed, the waiter removed the dishes, but several people were holding the wine jug and wine glass, in this regard, Jinxiu was quite funny, but he just lowered his head to drink tea and didn't say anything, if there was no burning gaze on the top of his head, he was afraid that Jinxiu would be more comfortable.
"General Chu, there are no outsiders here, I'll just say it directly, how is my Northern Regions court, it's no secret in the Five Kingdoms, to put it disrespectfully, if it weren't for the brave and brave, don't talk about Lancheng, I'm afraid, at this moment, the Northern Regions have already been turned over by those ambitious people....."
When Chu Ke heard this, his hand fiddling with the wine glass paused, but he still raised his head and said, "I know that after the Northern Regions and the Western Liang Southern Kingdom fought and won, it is a little inappropriate to ask for help again, but no matter what happens to the Northern Regions Inner Dynasty, whether it will meet my request or not, I still have to ........"
As soon as Chu Ke's words fell, the eyes of Wuxian and Bei Jinghong fell on him, staring at such a brilliant two people, Chu Ke smiled bitterly, and said
"Outsiders call me the youngest general in the Eastern Territory, which is really flattering, because I don't even have the certainty of protecting my own country. ”
Chu Ke's words fell, but Wuxian answered, "If Brother Chu doesn't mind, can you talk to us?" After a pause, Wuxian continued
"Brother Chu, don't worry, we won't spread the word, I can't say it, because of our friendship at first sight, we can still help a ....."
Chu Ke didn't hesitate about this, I saw him smile warmly at everyone, and said, "I can rest assured, forgive Chu Ke for being abrupt, I just think that among you, it is very unfathomable."
Marshal North is also a young man who once had a stunning talent in the imperial capital, and although Wuyue was born in a scholarly family, he also has countless secrets. ”
Chu Ke identified several people as if they were a few treasures, but that calm appearance could not make people feel offended, so although the topic was here, the atmosphere was quite harmonious, Chu Ke finished speaking seriously, and then said with a smile
"After the battle in Lancheng, the news has begun to spread everywhere, and at this moment, Chu Ke feels that the most mysterious thing is still the brocade ....." Chu Ke said, smiling a pair of phoenix eyes
"No matter how you look at it, I still think that Jin is the most mysterious, I heard that when the sound of killing outside Lancheng shook the sky, there was a sudden sound of carving, and then there was a sound of shaking the mountain and the earth came, and the people originally thought that the ground was moving, but the sound was not found anywhere else except for Lancheng.
Later, among the people who returned to the city, there was one more brocade who stayed in the General's Mansion and was regarded as a distinguished guest....."
If the atmosphere was quite harmonious before, then after Chu Ke's words fell, the atmosphere in the dining room was solemn like a string that could break at any time, dangerous and fragile.
Although Bei Jinghong's smile is still there, if you look closely, you can still see a bit of danger, the mountain and river fan that was pinned to his waist when he was eating has been held in his hand and rotated......
There is also a flower Wuyue like Bei Jinghong, he also holds a fan in his hand, but compared to the low-key and elegant one of Bei Jinghong, he is a little more fancy, with gold and silver edges, he holds the fan in his hand, and the whole person is very tight.
Compared to the two of them, Wuxian can be said to be much calmer, he just changed his sitting posture, and the whole person has more breathtaking momentum in addition to deep indifference, which is terrifying murderous aura, which makes people heavy and suffocating, and the thick bloody aura in that momentum can almost drown.
For the change of a few people, Chu Ke just smiled bitterly, but what he expected was Jinxiu's attitude, compared to the strict waiting of the three of them, Jinxiu was too calm.
She was still unhurriedly sipping tea with a white porcelain teacup, and the slow steam in the teacup made it seem more and more unfathomable to this young man with a half-mask.
In Chu Ke's gaze, and also in the attention of the other three, Jinxiu finally put down the teacup, looked at Chu Ke and smiled
"Brother Chu said this, but it made me feel that you are not coming to the Northern Regions, and the so-called court strife is really not important to you, because your target is Lancheng, the Marshal's Mansion ..... at all."
Jinxiu said calmly, even a little weird, but Chu Ke didn't know whether he should breathe a sigh of relief or bring up that breath a little more at this time, so in the end, he just pulled out a wry smile and said with a wry smile
"Chu Ke likes crisp and neat people, I don't like the Northern Regions very much, to be precise, I don't like the court of the Northern Regions....." He rubbed the tea cup in his hand, sat on the chair without any defense, and said leisurely
"It is said that the most ideal target for help should indeed be the powerful and rich Northern Regions, but where he can't even handle his own internal court, Chu Ke really doesn't want to be contaminated...."He said disgust, even in front of a few people from the Northern Regions.
In this regard, several people remained silent, but they heard Chu Ke say leisurely, "Jin is right, if it weren't for the appearance of Wuxian, the prince who has disappeared for more than ten years, in Lancheng and defeated Xiliang and Nanguo with invincible bravery, Chu Ke would not have come to ask for help." ”
In this regard, Jinxiu just smiled, and the momentum of the three of them was also retracted, planning to listen to what this person had to say
"The situation in my eastern territory today is somewhat similar to that of the southern land, in the beginning, there were some people in the southern land besides us, but their way of life was different from ours, a little backward, so we occupied the oasis without much effort. ”
Speaking of this, Chu Ke didn't shy away from it, because it was not a secret, but the next moment, he saw Chu Ke's face solemn and said, "But this year, the oasis is shrinking dramatically, and those wild people who were expelled by us into the desert began to press us step by step for food.
We were originally in an advantageous position, but because of the storage of food, we did not act rashly, and those savages were expelled for many years, and we also practiced the hunting ability to survive in the desert.
Now they are really much stronger than before, if they really fight, they are only afraid that the eastern territory will be in danger...", Chu Ke said very heavily, and the previous gentleness also retreated, making the eyebrows a little more sharp.
"So, if Brother Chu didn't plan to ask for help from the Northern Regions, then who are you targeting?"
Jinxiu's tone did not change, and he even raised his hand to refill a cup of tea for Chu Ke, and the tea with a slice of mint smoothly made Chu Ke's heart feel cool and a little more sensible.
So Chu Ke nodded his head to thank Jinxiu, and then took a sip of tea and breathed a sigh of relief
"It's Zhongzhou, although Zhongzhou is not as strong as the Northern Regions, but it is very rich surrounded by the sea, if there is no army, we want to ask for more financial support. ”
In this regard, Jinxiu just smiled and said, "I'm afraid that Brother Chu is not sure that Zhongzhou will help you, now that the Northern Regions are in civil strife, and Xiliang is plotting against the Southern Kingdom to attack my Northern Regions, this is the case, but it is a good time for the Five Kingdoms to reshuffle the cards..."
