"I have already instructed the soldiers to escort food and medicinal materials to your Jingnan City, if nothing happens, it will be there the day after tomorrow, when can the army under the three princes come to Huaiquan, this king can make arrangements." King Huailing sat back in his chair, his beard shaking in the darkness.

Chu Xianzhao took a deep breath in the darkness, Hua Youyue clenched his hand to help him calm down, and looked at King Huailing with a slightly soft face: "In this case, we are willing to temporarily become allies with the prince, and now we have to report to His Majesty the Emperor on the conditions that the prince said, but please rest assured that the prince will keep our promises and will not live up to the prince's trust in us." ”

Chu Xianzhao raised his hand and said, "Is the 30,000-strong army that the prince just said true? That's almost two-thirds of your Huaiquan's troops, and the prince still wants the land of Naili, we-"

This scheming prince glanced at Chu Xuanzhao: "The third prince doesn't believe the words of this king? Now that this king has invited you to the mansion to talk to each other, are you afraid that this king will not be able to deceive you?"

"In my opinion, Lord Wang, you are treason!" Chu Xianzhao said bluntly, Hua Youyue touched the stunned young man's shoulder with her elbow, signaling him to shut up, for the word treason, King Huailing just pulled the corners of his mouth and shook his head: "After this king received your letter, he could have reported directly to the imperial court, and let the army in Tiehe Mountain come to Huaiquan to intercept and kill you, how many men and horses did you bring with you this trip? Two thousand or three thousand? Maybe what if you two are not as good as mortals in force?" An army of tens of thousands of people rushed into Huaiquan to kill both of you? There are so many knives, and one of them can be cut into your neck! There are so many arrows, and one of them can pierce into you!"

Chu Xianzhao smiled and said, "Could it be that when we are defending the city, the prince is sure that our Yin army will defend the city?"

King Huailing looked up at the roof and was not in a hurry to answer, the night pearl slowly turned between the palms of his hands, he shook his head and said: "If you lose, we may cross the Yunjian River to attack your Yin Kingdom now, but this king will still not use troops." Because I know that you still have hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen and more than 20,000 warlocks in your Yin Kingdom, and in the face of such an armed force, our Yan Fu and Shu Yue still have half of the chance of winning, but what if Emperor Yin unites the Golden Horde and the Bottle Kingdom? This king knows that you still have a marriage contract with the princess of the Bottle Kingdom, and you are the grandson of Handa Surga, the great monarch of the Golden Horde, so what are the chances of our Yan Fu winning in such a three-kingdom alliance?"

This old fox is almost becoming a sperm, Chu Xianzhao thought to himself.

"This king can probably let Shu Yue and our royal family fight to the death with your Yin Kingdom, maybe I will have a chance to take advantage of it then, but you, a yellow-haired boy who has never experienced any war, actually defended this city with a surprise attack, this king is very curious about where the thing you used to burn the ship came from, that kind of thing is definitely not kerosene!

Chu Xianzhao shook his shoulders: "This is thanks to your gunpowder, if you."

Willing to share with us the recipe for gunpowder, and we will be happy to share with you this substance that you have never seen before. ”

King Huailing smiled and played: "You kid is not stupid, you are allowed to take advantage of the cheap deals, since you are here, it is good, this king can send troops to help you defeat Chai Longmaung, but you must let me be the king of the two domains, and all the subsequent military exploits belong to you, so that we can cooperate!"

Chu Xianzhao frowned and said, "I'm still curious why you didn't inform the royal family of our arrival, my head is a big battle feat, isn't it the same?"

King Huailing sneered: "What do you think we have done in the past 20 years? After the death of my father, the emperor gave the throne to my blind brother, behind us is the Qing'an Dynasty, watching your Yin Kingdom gradually grow, and the turmoil in the court and China is continuous, but there is no substantive action, my blind brother has not only not taken any piece of land in your Yin Kingdom during his reign for more than ten years, but also lost Jingnan City, and now he has retreated to Tiehe Mountain, how many soldiers and generals have died in these wars? The army of heaven and earth has long been not as strong as before, and now after the first war, there are very few left, and the yellow army is just some guys who can carry artillery, and now the Xuan army has been wiped out by all of you, and the civil officials of the court are more shrewd than one but do not do anything, they really dare. If I were the emperor, I would have slaughtered all these guys who eat white rice a long time ago!"

"Twenty years ago, Yan Yu could win the Yin Kingdom twenty years ago, but now, he can only wait for death! Chu Xiaohua has done three generations of things alone! At least in the next eighty years, all the countries in the Northern Regions will have to live in fear of your Yin Kingdom's iron horse!"

Chu Xianzhao pondered the words in his mouth, and great awe for his father rose in his heart.

King Huailing said slowly: "Do you think that the emperor trusts my brother very much? My youngest son has been a proton for him for more than ten years, and he has raised my child to be his, and when the bastard boy came back to visit his relatives last year, he actually advised me, my own son, to send troops to inspect the frontier for the emperor, and let me Huaiquan outstanding scholars enter the imperial court as officials, and the previous battle of Yunjian River killed me Huaiquan soldiers, and the royal family not only had a trace of gratitude, but also relied on the responsibility for the defeat on this king. To put it mildly, this king will work for them for another few more decades, and then my son, and my son's son will go to make a proton for the imperial court, and I can't wait to cut off the head of the dog emperor and sacrifice it to the third prince now!"

Chu Xianzhao and Hua Youyue glanced at each other and asked the question they wanted to ask the most: "Does Uncle Huailing know about the Eastern Emperor Bell?"

King Huailing smiled dumbly and said, "The Eastern Emperor Bell is in the Rest City, why are you afraid that the blind emperor will use the Eastern Emperor Bell to die with you?"

"It's not that you haven't done such a thing, and legend has it that the ancient kingdom of Jindong was destroyed by your Yan Fu in this way. Chu Xianzhao said bluntly.

King Huailing rubbed his chin and smiled, "This king thinks so...... Chai Longxiang is not so crazy to use the Eastern Emperor Bell in the land of Yan Fu, this kind of battle that ends together

The law is meaningless, even if they destroy your army, even their own army will not survive, half of the Yan Fu has become scorched earth, where can those Yan Fu people who are lucky enough to survive in a country that cannot survive? This is even more terrible than killing chickens and taking eggs. ”

"If he really used ......"

King Huailing shook his head and said: "No! This king assures you that he is very familiar with this younger brother this king, Chai Longxiang has been kind to everyone since he was a child, and he has to personally send back a bird when he sees a bird falling from the tree nest...... actually became the emperor of our Yan Fu. ”

"If the third prince wins this war, do you want to be the emperor of Yan Fu?"

Chu Xianzhao was stunned and muttered, "Emperor, ......"

"If the third prince becomes the emperor, this king can work hard for you, only the conditions you did this king just put forward for you, this king is still surnamed Chai in the end, if this king continues to be the vassal king of Yan Fu, it can also reduce a lot of burden for you, isn't it?"

"This king is now carrying the hat of treason to reach a cooperative relationship with you, if this war is lost, this king will be punished by the royal family. Even if he wins, this king will still have to be scolded for hundreds of years or thousands of years, and he will really be stinking for 10,000 years. King Huailing sighed and said, "This person can't care about his reputation when he is old, he just wants to benefit his descendants." ”

Chu Xianzhao hesitated for a moment, nodded and sighed: "Princes and Jiadi are all involuntarily. ”

Hua Youyue continued: "If nothing else, our army will arrive in Huaiquan and enter the Valley of Storms in four days, plus your 30,000 Yan Fu warriors, so that we will have almost 90,000 troops to attack the rest of the city, Chai Longxiang alone-"

"He is not alone, and there is also the vassal king Lu Liangxin of Naili, but no matter what, he will stand on the side of Chai Longxiang, I hope that when you attack the city of rest, you will hand over the conscience of Lu to us to deal with, once he sends troops to the city of rest, my son Chai Longbao will lead the army to attack Naili, and cut off his contact with the royal army in one go, Lu Liangxin has 40,000 heavy soldiers, plus the tens of thousands of remnants of the royal family still have** Ten thousand troops are fighting against us, and Shuyue will also provide troops to them, and we will intercept Shuyue's troops for you in Naili. King Huailing said in a deep voice.

"We can only block the forces of Shuyue and occupy Naili for you, do you know how much effort this king wasted before you came to lobby the soldiers and the people? If you let them fight with their compatriots, I am afraid that now they will rush into the Huailing palace and tear up this king, and in the end we still have to rely on you to fight with all the forces of the Yanfu royal family, success or failure depends on you, if you lose, this king will have no complaints, death will die, everyone will die one day." He stood up and stretched.

"This king killed chickens and monkeys before you came, and executed hundreds of ignorant Huaiquan scholars, who actually gathered in front of the palace to make trouble

Matter, it's really stupid to tell this king that he would rather be trampled on his head by the iron hooves of the Yin Kingdom than commit treason! This king is saving them and their families!"

After a long silence, Chu Xuan summoned the night pearl in his hand and said to himself: "I am very grateful for your help to the Yin Kingdom, but if I were your Yan Ying, I would rather be killed by the army of the Yin Kingdom than commit treason, those scholars are not wrong, they are really not wrong......"

King Huailing restrained his face: "It's no wonder that they read their brains stupidly, they don't know how to examine the current situation, they don't know how to look at the current situation, they don't meet Huai Cai at the right time, it's a time of war, and someone has to shed blood before the war starts." ”

Chu Xianzhao tugged at the corners of his mouth, and he didn't even bother to laugh.

"If this Wang Xue refuses to let you into the city, surely your iron spear will soon fall on this king's head, right?

Chu Xianzhao actually realized that he had always called him the Third Prince before this, and now he suddenly added it.

The heavy Zhu Gate was suddenly pushed open, and a blood-colored glow penetrated through, illuminating the blood-red side of the council hall.

It was already dusk, and they had been talking to the old fox for so long today, Chu Xianzhao thought to himself

No matter what the content of their conversation today is, it has greatly changed the trend of this war, after the battle of Jingnan City, the giant beast Yan Fu has been deeply injured and bleeding, and the rebellion of King Huailing is undoubtedly a stab in this giant beast twice, in this way, how long this thousand-year-old country like Xilin can last, Chu Xianzhao does not know.

I just hope it falls soon......

"Zhenyan, here, come to my father's side. King Huailing beckoned in the direction where the door was located, Chu Xianzhao looked up, the Lotus County Lord came to the door under the escort of several guards, she changed into a vermilion koji skirt at this time, embroidered with gold hooks at the waist, and embroidered with nine golden chrysanthemums on the back, at this time she was like a real county lord, and her majesty the queen, who was second only to the mother Yi Yanfu in terms of momentum, had a little purple makeup on her forehead, which looked quite amazing.

The Lotus County Lord said to Chai Xiong: "Uncle Chai Xiong, you step back first, thank you." ”

After the man with the saber saluted the prince, he left with a blank face, and did not inform the prince of the prince's bullying of the princess in front of the princess's tomb. ”

"I've seen the Lotus County Lord!" Chu Xianzhao also said, the Lotus County Lord raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked directly at Chu Xianzhao's eyes, Chu Xianzhao's heart jumped, he always felt that she was like a fairy out of the dust with a fairy aura along the way, which made people feel comfortable and tranquil, Chu Zhaozhao occasionally twisted the oil and did not dare to go too far, for fear of shattering this beauty like a thousand-year-old spring.

But at this time, she was dressed like a queen, standing in front of Chu Xianzhao with a thrilling beauty, but there was that in her eyes

The distressing fragility, the pair of deer-like eyes were so sad at this time, with hatred and distress that Chu Xianzhao couldn't understand.

"I've seen the three princes. She put her hands on her waist and saluted Chu Xianzhao, and King Huailing got up and greeted Chu Xianzhao: "Instant Zhaoshi nephew, how old are you?"

"It's almost seventeen, and it's been October. Chu Xianzhao said.

"Oh, it's almost seventeen, if it is placed in most of our Yan Fu, they are already married, and my bastard son is twenty-five years old and unmarried, and I don't know when and when this king can hold his grandson. King Huailing shook his head. Hua Youyue stood up as if she realized something, and said to King Huailing: "Lord Wang, it's not too early, can you let us take a bath and freshen up before, and then do it-"

"Don't be in a hurry, let's talk about the important things first. King Huailing waved his hand: "If the three princes don't dislike it, this king is willing to marry the Lotus County Lord to you as a concubine, how about it?"

"Be a concubine......" Chu Xianzhao was shocked when he heard this, and felt that his eyes were black and he couldn't see anything, Hua Youyue stabilized his shoulders, and said to King Huailing in a polite voice as much as possible: "We understand the kindness of Lord Wang, marriage is not a joke and a trivial matter, and the third prince has already made a marriage contract with the princess of the Bottle Country, if the prince marries the county lord to the third prince in front of the Bottle Country, it will make our allies doubt the sincerity of the Yin Kingdom, out of consideration for the country's social affairs, we-"

"This king did not let his daughter compete with the princess of Nataru for the position of concubine, but gave a small gift to the third prince. Our jade in Huaiquan is famous all over the world, and there are nobles from all over the world who come to Huaiquan to buy jade, and when we make a deal with these nobles, we often give them a small gift in order to please them, the singer of Yan Fu, or a small bracelet made of jade, so that they can come to Huaiquan to buy jade next time. King Huailing smiled, and smiled extremely dangerously: "We have done such a big deal with the three princes, if this king doesn't come up with something that hurts him, how can he not say it?"

"Lord Wang...... Instantaneously summoned the Lotus County Lord back to Huaiquan this time, there is no second heart, I-" Chu Instantaneous Summoning became urgent, of course he knew what the old fox was thinking about, but he didn't expect that he would be so dangerous as to make a deal with his daughter.

King Huailing seemed to anticipate his reaction, and showed a relieved look: "Does the Third Prince know? Lord Lotus openly eloped for a stupid man to disobey the family order before this, and this king has already removed her from the family tree. ”

"This ......" Chu Xianzhao was stunned, of course he couldn't watch the Lotus County Lord being thrown into the sinking pond, if she died, how sad Lin Zhi would be, but he couldn't marry the Lotus County Lord back as a concubine, Chu Xianzhao and Su Nianyu's affairs already made Ye Weiwei very unhappy, if he brought another Lotus County Lord back, both of them would hate him.

Sure enough, Jiang is still old

It's spicy, if you talk about fighting, you may be able to beat a hundred Huailing kings, but in terms of scheming, this kind of thing is still decades away from this man who is finally immersed in scheming.

"What my daughter said is not perfect, but some places are still well raised by us, this appearance is still stunning in the world, and the three princes are not moved at all? Or do you think that this king is being deceived, and this king is uneasy?"

The Lotus County Lord was silent, as if none of this had anything to do with her.

Maybe it's because I was too leisurely in my childhood, piling up a lifetime of pain in adulthood.

When she was a child, her father asked her to enter the palace instead of her younger brother, so that her younger brother would not have to be a proton, she cried all night, and her younger brother listened outside all night, and the next day she went to the palace alone with her bags without saying hello to them.

Later, she rejected the marriage of countless princes and nobles, and finally met the young man in a green shirt with a knife.

Later, she eloped and did the bravest thing, but also the stupidest thing.

In the end, she came back, came back to atone for the mistakes she made, she didn't mind being a concubine for the third prince at all, she just felt that it was unfair to this child, why did she let others bear the mistakes she made for her.

No one ever asked her who she liked.

It's true...... It's unfair.

"Lord Huailing, we still have to tell His Majesty the Emperor about this matter, the third prince is still young, and the marriage cannot be decided casually. Hua Youyue said in a cold voice, King Huailing frowned and looked at this notorious woman, his face softened a little: "This king has long seen that the three princes have the potential to be kings, and the emperor's harem is not a common thing?

The two dead soldiers of the palace fell out of nowhere, and they all landed beside the Lotus County Lord, grabbing her wrists respectively, and the Lotus County Lord panicked and shouted, "Father, what are you going to do!"

"This king doesn't have a daughter like you, put her in a sack for this king and throw her into the Zhuliang River, and wait for half an hour to send someone downstream to fish up her body and bury it. King Huailing's voice was cold without a hint of feeling, and the Lotus County Lord shouted hoarsely, struggling and crying.

Chu Xianzhao was instantly stupid, he suddenly felt that it was a big mistake to take the Lotus County Lord back to Huaiquan, maybe he should leave her in Jingnan City to stay with those captives, he was not without guilt when he used this woman, but he didn't expect that after bringing her home, her father would use her to deal with him.

How pitiful this woman is, as if she has been being used all her life.

At this time, he finally understood why Hua Youyue's sister finally shouted out the sentence that she would never be a woman again in her next life, did this experience of being a woman really disappoint them so much?

He took a deep breath and spoke

The words that even he couldn't believe: "I want her...... You let her go. ”

When the dead man heard this, he immediately let go and stood on both sides, the Lotus County Lord covered his mouth, his face was pale and his eyes were empty.

Until this moment, King Huailing showed a victory on his face, like a weasel that caught a pheasant, and patted Chu Xianzhao's shoulder: "That's right, in the future, you and I will be the relationship between father and son-in-law, we will join forces to pull Chai Longxiang down from the throne, I will hold you as the emperor of Yan Fu, the future of the three princes is limitless, the stakes do not need to be said by this king, I will naturally think, a few of you will send down to rest, this king has specially prepared a banquet for you to pick up the wind and wash the dust." ”

The lord of the lotus county lay on the ground and cried lowly, the sunset dyed the large group of vermilion on her into blood, as red as the wedding dress she wore that night in the cave room, Hua Youyue's face was like frost and she didn't say anything anymore, and King Huailing walked down with his hands behind his back, his face was extremely proud.

Chu Xianzhao sat back on the stool without sorrow or joy, his head seemed to fall to the ground at any time, the evening breeze was blowing slowly, and the white robe on it was blown by the evening breeze, Hua Youyue put her hand on his shoulder and sighed heavily.

......

......

This dust-washing dinner prepared for Chu Xianzhao lasted for nearly an hour and a half, Chu Xianzhao sat with Hua Youyue and the Lotus County Lord, the three of them were extremely silent tonight, King Huailing and the people of the palace drank happily together, and the dishes were served one by one, Chu Zhao's face was terrible this night, and he didn't even move his chopsticks a few times, and he remembered what King Huailing said not long ago, every action of a man, every table he made, and the honey and poison hidden in those words, he had to learn to sift them out.

As a monarch, you must learn to observe words and looks, and understand the joys, sorrows, and sorrows in the eyes of enemies and friends, King Huailing and the people of the palace raised their glasses and drank, which seemed relaxed and pleasant, but it was obviously pretended to be shown to them, and the prince of Huailing did not talk much, and he always drank and looked at this side from time to time, the Lotus County Lord restrained his sadness, and all his manners tonight were in line with etiquette, so that people could not find any fault, Chu Xianzhao lowered his head and asked the Lotus County Lord: "Where did Lin Zhi go?" Why didn't you see her coming. ”

"She is an outsider in the palace, and she can't come here, which is not etiquette. The voice of the Lotus County Lord seemed to be frozen, Chu Xianzhao looked at the soldiers who were eating non-stop, maybe he really made them hungry, occasionally raised a glass to toast Chu Xianzhao, he smiled fakely, after drinking the cold wine, he watched Hua Youyue put down the chopsticks, the woman blinked after looking at him, Chu Xianzhao was puzzled, and suddenly felt that his feet were stepped on by her, and he instantly came to his senses, and said to the Lotus County Lord that he would take Hua Youyue out to breathe, she was a little uncomfortable with the smell of wine here, the other party nodded, and ordered the subordinates to send them away。

The two got out of the hustle and bustle behind them and came to a lotus pond, Hua Youyue lay on the railing and supported her cheeks, and winked at Chu Xianzhao: "Do you really want to marry that Lotus County Lord?"

Chu instantly recalled a different kind of return

Answer: "Chai Muzhi's things are not available, and this person has been forbearing, and now the invasion of our Yin Kingdom is not a disaster for him, but he has turned it into an opportunity, such a person is really terrible, more terrible than his father." ”

Hua Youyue nodded: "Chai Muzhi and your father are the same kind of people, but your father has many more resources in his hands than him, and the freezing three feet is not one cold, Chai Muzhi's idea of rebellion is not only after we came." However, your father pays more attention to the honor of life and death than him, but he is more unpredictable than your father. ”

Chu Xianzhao snorted, "I'll be careful in the future." ”

"Do you like that Lotus County Lord?"

Chu Xianzhao said softly: "I like it, how don't I like beautiful women, a child told me before that I can like many people, but only one, and most of the women in the family are pitiful, you look at yourself, and then look at the Lotus County Lord, one is more pitiful than the other, and the princess of the dead country in the west is the same, I hope you can live carefree and don't be displaced for the rest of your life." ”

"I don't need you to be pitiful, in fact, I don't think it's anything if you accept her as a concubine, you see which country's emperor is not a group of three thousand beauties in the harem, you must not follow your father's example to abolish the harem in the future, and there has not even been a queen in the Yin Kingdom for more than ten years, this is not in line with the etiquette system, if it goes on for a long time, there will be problems, you are playing now, don't make a human life, especially don't get any illegitimate children or the like before you and the princess of the bottle country are married, it will be very troublesome later. Hua Youyue squinted at the lotus flowers blooming in the pool and said softly, feeling the coolness and tranquility of this moment.

"Da Yin has no queen. Chu Xianzhao silently recited this proverb that has been circulated in the Yin Kingdom for more than ten years.
