Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Coming of All Nations
"Tell me, what's the matter with your sudden appearance this time?" Jing Suqin went straight to the point. Now he was used to the old fisherman's way of appearing.
"First of all, it's a good job to get rid of King Cheng." The old fisherman did not hesitate to praise his apprentice, "But you must not take it lightly, although King Cheng has been eliminated, but Prince Li is not so easy to deal with!" ”
Jing Suqin was shocked in his heart: "Don't they all say that the prince is honest?" Could it be that he also had the intention of rebellion? ”
"People are unpredictable, Su Qin, I'm just asking you to pay attention." The old fisherman said slowly.
Jing Suqin nodded: "I know, what are you doing the most?" ”
"Me? After you have talked about your affairs, there will be nothing else, and this time I will come back to show you home! The old fisherman smiled meaningfully.
"My business, my business?" Jing Suqin asked with a puzzled face.
"Don't ask, you'll know later, it's definitely a great thing!" The old fisherman shook his head and said with a smile.
Jing Suqin pursed his lips, and he didn't believe it for a while, there are still good things you found for me? However, then I thought that he had completed the task assigned by the Scorching Ice Academy now and found out the murderer of the emperor, and it was time to retire, after all, it was impossible for him to serve him for a lifetime, this was not his original intention, let alone his final idea!
The old fisherman seemed to guess what Jing Suqin was thinking, and then said slowly: "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, don't you think you can still run out?" Can you still leave this capital? ”
"What do you mean?" Jing Suqin had a hunch that things might not be good.
The old fisherman smiled meaningfully and told Jing Suqin about the matter. In his eyes, Jing Suqin is now helping the emperor to solve the problem of Prince Cheng, removing the biggest obstacle within the imperial court for him, and stabilizing his country, so imagine it, will the old emperor let himself leave so easily?
After doing such an excellent thing, there will definitely be more tasks waiting for me in the future.
"Damn, is it possible that I have to work for the emperor for the rest of my life?" Jing Suqin immediately got up and said with a shocked face.
The old fisherman smiled slightly, and said slowly: "That's pretty much what it means." ”
"I won't do it!" Jing Suqin waved his hand, a little angry. He was not a member of this dynasty in the first place, and the survival of the dynasty had little to do with him, when he entered the scorching ice and agreed to the old fisherman's request to re-establish the Wind Follower, it was just to fulfill a wish of the master, and now that things have been completed, these things have been done himself.
According to him, it was time to leave......
"Okay, the emperor won't treat you badly, besides, it's possible that I'm wrong, and it's very likely that the emperor has nothing to do for you." The old fisherman hooked Jing Suqin's shoulder and said, "By the way, where do I live?" ”
"It just so happens that the emperor gave a big mansion, where to live, there is no place here." Jing Suqin thought for a while.
The old fisherman nodded and went according to the address. Neither of them is the kind of hypocritical person, and they also take money very lightly, so this very luxurious imperial mansion is nothing at all in Jing Suqin's eyes. It is also natural to honor the master.
……
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day it was dawn.
Jing Suqin slept until noon the next day, it was rare to have such a day of 'stealing half a day'. As soon as I got out of bed, Ye Shufeng's voice sounded outside the door.
"Big brother, the emperor invites you over!"
Jing Suqin felt a burst of chagrin in his heart, it seemed that he was really said by the old fisherman yesterday. Then he replied: "Got it!" Then he cleaned up, changed into decent clothes, and went with the eunuch who came to announce the decree.
Riding on a tall horse, Jing Suqin slowly looked at both sides of the street, only to see that at this moment, there were suddenly many foreign people on the boundary of the Great Dragon Dynasty, and their appearance was not similar to that of the Central Plains. It's really a bit of a metropolis of nations......
"Father-in-law, what's going on? Why are there so many exotics? Jing Suqin asked the eunuch beside him.
"Hey, General Jing, you don't know that." The eunuch almost didn't let Jing Suqin vomit, and then continued, "No, our Yue Gong mainly chooses a husband, all the countries know this news, and they all come to worship, and they want to compete for the position of this concubine!" ”
Jing Suqin nodded and whispered, "A group of guys who have no interest!" ”
"General Jing, what did you say?"
"I say, it's a blessing for anyone to marry a princess!" Jing Suqin rolled his eyes and said.
……
Palace
The eunuch stepped forward and entered the emperor's study: "Your Majesty, General Jing has arrived." ”
"Come in!" A neutral voice came from the room.
Jing Suqin pushed the door and walked in, and after entering the door, he only saw the emperor alone, so he said generously: "The emperor is good, don't come to harm!" ”
"Hehe, you kid!" The old emperor seems to be in a good mood, and it is natural for him to eradicate his henchmen, "How is your injury?" ”
"It's okay." Said with a big grin.
The Emperor nodded: "Look at this. Then he handed him the fold on the table.
Jing Suqin took the fold and opened it to see that it turned out to be a war from the border. The situation of Xu Xuelin and Mobei's battle was not very ideal, and he almost couldn't hold it on a few occasions. Jing Suqin knew that such a thing was not the result Xu Xuelin wanted, but there was no way, the Great Dragon Dynasty had always emphasized literature and light on military force, which led to the lack of military quality of the warriors and the confrontation with the Mobei people.
"General Xu is also your old acquaintance, what can you do?" The emperor asked straight to the point.
Jing Su Qin frowned, and Xu Yilei also followed his father to the border to fight Mobei. Once Xu Xuelin is defeated, his daughter will inevitably be implicated, this is not the result that Jing Suqin wants to see, but when talking to the emperor, you must think twice, otherwise it is very likely to cause trouble, and then he asked tentatively: "Does the emperor mean to let me go on the expedition?" ”
"That's not all! You still have to stay in the capital, and I still need your help with some trivial matters. The emperor smiled and continued, "But I just want to ask you, what kind of attitude should we have towards Mobei?" ”
"Attitude?" The corners of Jing Suqin's mouth flashed with a sneer, "I didn't say it, everyone came to our yard to be presumptuous, don't say anything, let's fight first!" But since we want to fight, we can't fight casually, and if we want to fight, we have to play our prestige! Let them not dare to do it again! ”
"Good!" The old emperor very much agreed with Jing Suqin's words, "I really didn't see the wrong person. Now Mobei is at war with my big dragon, the southern and eastern powers are eyeing each other, and the people of the Western Regions have been ready to move, I'm afraid... A hundred years of inheritance is really going to be lost in my hands! ”
When Jing Suqin heard this, he also felt a burst of emotion in his heart, and then said: "The emperor doesn't have to worry too much, as long as he still has a breath, he will not stop fighting!" ”
"Good! I have no regrets! The old emperor's excited face had taken on a ruddy look. Then he continued, "There is one more thing, and that is that the princess will not recruit a colt on the day of her death, you see? ”
"I wish the princess to choose a good colt as soon as possible and find her true destiny!" Jing Suqin said with a smile.
The old emperor's face suddenly fell, but then he thought about it and said, "Have you forgotten what I once told you?" ”
"I don't remember." Jing Suqin thought about it carefully and said truthfully.
The emperor sighed in his heart: "What I said, although all the countries come to choose the horses, but I don't want to marry the princess to a distant place, so I hope you can give you a plan to let the princess stay in Dalong!" ”
Jing Suqin nodded, it turned out that the old emperor was reluctant to marry his daughter to a foreign country, and wanted his daughter to stay by his side, so you still said so generously to the outside to let all countries come to the court, you really want to be what you want to be and what you want to establish! But after thinking about it, this can be regarded as a pity for the hearts of parents in the world. It's all understandable.
"The emperor can rest assured, Jing Su Qin will definitely give advice to the princess!" Jing Suqin said with a slow smile.
"That couldn't be better." The old emperor smiled with satisfaction. However, Jing Su Qin looked at the emperor's smile more like the smile of an old fox, as if he had fallen into his trap.
Just when the two of them agreed on the matter, the voice of the eunuch came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, the prince asks to see you!" ”
"Huh?" The old emperor was suspicious for a while, and then said slowly, "Come in!" ”
The door was pushed open, and Jing Suqin saw a man in a red robe, about forty years old, slowly walking in. The calm and calm face is not the same as the arrogant and domineering appearance of Prince Cheng, this person can see at a glance that he is the kind of person who is measured in his heart and does things calmly and sophisticatedly, Jing Suqin's first feeling: This person is not easy to deal with!
"See the emperor!" Lord Li stepped forward and saluted.
The old emperor smiled and introduced the two of them to each other.
Lord Li smiled slightly and said very gentlemanly: "I have heard the prestige of General Jing for a long time, and when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary, he was really a hero and a young man!" ”
Jing Suqin was silent, how could he not hear the meaning of Prince Li's words, which meant that his age was too young, although he had some merits, he should not be afraid. Then he smiled and said: "Where is it, the prince of Li is the best opportunity, and he should be strong when he is old!" ”
He didn't care whether Prince Li understood the meaning of the words or not, and continued: "As soon as you look at Prince Li's face, you can know that it is really the demeanor of the Ninety-Five." ”
Hearing this, Prince Li's eyelids twitched, obviously he didn't expect Jing Suqin to be such a eloquent person, and then smiled and said: "The emperor is the Ninety-Five, and this king is the one who assists the Ninety-Five." General Jing is really good at joking. ”
"Where, where." Jing Su Qin smiled coquettishly and didn't say anything.
"Hehe, what is the matter with King Li's search for me?" The emperor interrupted the two of them.
