Chapter 274: A bet with Li Pengxue
Chapter 274
"What are you doing here?" Zhu Can looked at Li Pengxue puzzled and asked.
"I'm looking for you to make a bet." Li Pengxue looked at Zhu Can, this bastard, she came to her no less than ten times, and finally saw herself, every time she came, she was told that he was resting, and finally saw the prime minister of Xia Guo to understand, she didn't go out for two days and three days, and she was happy in the house.
It turns out that he also has shortcomings, lustful!
"What kind of bet are you looking for me, you won't be in Xia Kingdom for so long just to wait for me to come back and bet with me, right?" Zhu Can asked with a slight smile, the reason why he didn't have an overly exaggerated conversation with her was because he knew in his heart that she was the emperor's favorite, no matter what, isn't there a saying that a friend's wife can't be bullied.
"That's right, exactly." Li Pengxue nodded in response.
"Okay, let's talk about your bet first." Zhu Can frowned slightly.
"If you can break through the Dragon Tooth Pass within half a year, even if you win, Chu Yunguo will serve Xia Guo as the monarchy, otherwise, if you don't do it, then Xia Guo will surrender to Chu Yunguo."
Li Pengxue said her bet.
"Hehe, our two countries have no grudges and no hatred, why do you want to make such a bet, Xia Guo needs to recuperate, it is not appropriate to use troops again, I will not respond to this bet, I have actually thought about it a long time ago, now Xia Guo no longer needs to start a war, I am ready to step down as the general of Zhenguo and retire at home."
Zhu Can smiled faintly and said what he thought in his heart, since the grievances have been understood, it is better to spend more time with Tang Yiyi, just like a fairy tale, and the end is to live happily with the woman he loves.
"If you don't keep your bet, then don't even think about seeing your father."
Li Pengxue pulled her face and turned around and left.
"Hey, wait, what do you mean by that, do you know my father's whereabouts?" Zhu Can didn't expect that she actually knew her father's whereabouts, so she couldn't help but ask.
"That's right, your father is in my hands, and if you can win, then I will give your father back to you."
After Li Pengxue finished speaking, she raised her feet and was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhu Can again.
"Wait, I promised you a bet, but I want to add a clause, if one of us wins, then the other party will be left to the other party's disposal?"
The corners of Zhu Can's mouth twitched slightly, staring at Li Pengxue's back tightly, and said loudly.
"Dare to threaten me with my old son, you stinky, you don't want to be good, so it's better to let you.... Hey..."
|A gentleman's word is a whip!
Syllable! The two high-fived and swore an oath.
With the news of his father, Zhu Can's heart finally fell like a boulder, watching Li Pengxue go out of the house, run out of the back door, and go straight to the palace along the path.
"Brother Zhu, I...."Long Tengfei's face was very embarrassed, because Zhu Can asked him a very embarrassing question.
"If you like it, you like it, love has no borders, I support the emperor thousands of times, and I am saying that the general of Chu Yunguo can get married, which is a good thing for Xia Guo."
Zhu Can said with a smile, looking at Long Tengfei's shy answer, he knew that he had moved his mind.
"But... But people won't agree, and we can't force it. Long Tengfei admitted.
"The emperor went up and confessed to her, and told her that you like her, that you are in love with her." Zhu Can made a loud noise.
"It's... Or Brother Zhu, you can help me...."
"How can this be done for someone, Your Majesty, as long as you like it, I will definitely help you complete it, as long as you do what I say, you will definitely be able to hold the beauty, you are so, so..."
Zhu Can quietly explained in Long Tengfei's ear, wrote her a very suitable sentence for confession, and left the palace with a wicked smile.
Back at the General's Mansion, Zhu Can simply packed his bags, explained some words to his mother and Prime Minister Tang Yiyi, and left the imperial capital straight after dressing up, and went straight to the border of the Xia Kingdom.
Anyway, she didn't say when to start gambling, and now she is one step ahead of her, this is a strategy, always go ahead of your opponent, let him catch up.
"Your Majesty, I'm leaving." Li Pengxue came to Long Tengfei's study and bowed down and said loudly.
"Why are you in such a hurry to leave, can't you just stay a few more days?" Long Tengfei looked at her with infatuated eyes.
"My emperor sent a holy decree a few days ago, saying that there are some things in the country that I need to go back to deal with, and I have to leave." The two have been getting along day and night for more than a year, and if you want to say that there is no emotion at all, the ghost doesn't believe it, especially since he is still a virtuous, benevolent, and approachable monarch.
"Oh, I see, that's.... Then I'll send it to you. Long Tengfei stood up and said loudly.
"No need, I...."
"I...."
The atmosphere seemed to be a little awkward, thinking of Zhu Can's encouraging words, Long Tengfei secretly said in his heart, I am the Son of Heaven, don't you even dare to confess to a woman, come on!
clenched his fists fiercely, strode forward and directly grabbed Li Pengxue's hand and said loudly, "Pengxue, I like you, I am reluctant to let you go, when I saw you for the first time, I was excited, you are as beautiful as a holy and blooming snow lotus, you render my world, I know that it is love at first sight, I can't extricate myself from falling in love with you, is it okay to marry me, I want to be inseparable from you forever." ”
"Your Majesty...."
"Peng Xue, haven't you seen my intentions, I...."
"Your Majesty, it's impossible for us, I'm still leaving." Li Pengxue was a little flustered, struggling to break free from Long Tengfei's hands, and turned around to leave.
"No.... I don't want you to go, I want to keep you by my side, Pengxue, I really like you. Saying that, Long Tengfei stepped forward and hugged Li Pengxue tightly in his arms, clearly feeling that her body was trembling slightly.
According to what Zhu Can said, women like strong men, as long as you press her to the ground hard, and then rudely no matter how she struggles, cook her raw rice and cook her into rice, and from now on she will not marry you.
Long Tengfei didn't believe it originally, but what Zhu Can said was like a saint in the world.
So Long Tengfei did it according to such a plot, and kissed her earlobe directly in the study, and then .....
There is no damn thing, Long Tengfei was directly slapped to the ground by Li Pengxue with a big mouth, thinking about the general of Chu Yunguo, how can the strength be comparable to ordinary people, this time Long Tengfei was beaten to a great pulp, and blood stains suddenly appeared on the corners of his mouth.
"I didn't expect you to be such a frivolous person, I misjudged you, you..." Li Pengxue angrily pointed at Long Tengfei and roared loudly.
"The bold thief of Chu Yunguo actually assassinated my emperor, come on, take him down for me."
At this moment, Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites rushed into the upper study and surrounded Li Pengxue with a pair of vicious soldiers.
How could these people suddenly appear here, why did these people seem to have been prepared a long time ago, because Zhu Can told them that as long as Li Pengxue comes, you should follow quickly, she will definitely hurt the emperor.
General Zhenguo is really clever, and even knows this.
"Stand down, it's none of your business here." The dragon soared as if something was wrong, as if he had fallen into a trap.
"Your Majesty, as an envoy, she actually slapped you in your study, which is tantamount to slapping our Xia Kingdom in the face, how can the minister, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, ignore it, this matter must be severely punished."
Why do so emperors like to use a few traitorous ministers occasionally, because they can do things, they will act according to their faces, and loyal ministers don't need to, paranoid, admit death, this is the case with the Ministry of Rites, even if you are the emperor.
So Li Pengxue was temporarily imprisoned, and by the time she was pardoned and released by Long Tengfei, half a month had passed.
And Zhu Canfeng rushed to Longya Pass at this time, looking at the majestic border pass, he sighed slightly, "Your Majesty, I can't help you, but I can't do anything." ”
did not change the makeup, or the appearance after the disguise, after observing the Longya Pass for two days, Zhu Can finally gave up the decision to attack the Longya Pass with the strength of the army, because the garrison here and now is simply not enough to take the Longya Pass of Chu Yunguo, Chu Yunguo is not like Yasukuni, its national strength is even stronger than it, and people rely on huge financial resources, so that the garrison here is not only much better than Xia in terms of weapons and equipment, but also several times more than in terms of numbers.
If people have money, they can raise more troops, if they bring their own 200,000 brave soldiers this time, they can still have a chance, but these garrisons are not good, a large part of them can be seen to be new soldiers, the expansion speed of the Xia Kingdom is too fast, so that the strength is obviously insufficient.
It may be precisely because of this that Li Pengxue made this difficult gamble to embarrass herself.
And at this time, if you want to mobilize 200,000 troops to come, it is obviously impossible, not that you can't move, but that these 200,000 troops want to come from the imperial capital to Longya Pass, it will take at least three months, and they will sleep all the way, and they will have to speed up their horses, so that the combat effectiveness will suddenly be sharply reduced, and the troops will not march as fast as the people who have the realm of emptiness, and they have the skill of driving the fog and clouds, coupled with the sleepless hurry, I don't know how many times faster it will be.
But in this case, wouldn't the bet be lost?
Lose, Zhu Can has never lost, and he just admits defeat, and for the sake of his father, he is not allowed to lose.
