Chapter 72: Step by Step Crisis
In the garden of the Wei Palace, under a pear tree full of white pear blossoms, a woman was burying a bird that had just died, and the maid next to her looked at the dead bird with a sad face.
The woman buried the bird in the soil and sprinkled a handful of pear petals, and she looked at the pear petals that fell to the ground with cold eyes for a long time, until the muttering of the maid next to her made her come to her senses.
"Princess, I was fine yesterday, I can sing and dance, why did this bird die today?"
"Maybe it's not willing to do this, it's better to die, at least it's a relief." When the woman said this, her expression was either happy or sad, as if she was not just talking about the bird but about herself.
"It doesn't want to, Duo'er really doesn't understand, this bird is carefully taken care of by the princess every day, there is food and drink, and it is still reluctant, you must know that those people outside the city can't eat for three days, and they are fighting for a steamed bun, and Duo'er is scared to death when she sees it!" The maid continued her chatter, for her, maybe she could eat and drink, live and wear clothes, this bird is good, obviously the same as the gold and the same as the self died inexplicably, in exchange for her to be happy every day, in a good mood to chirp and sing a few sentences, in a bad mood, no matter how much you tease and ignore you!
"There are some victims outside the city?" The woman didn't hear the maid's heart, but paid more attention to the situation outside the city.
"Yes, I heard that Daqin sent troops again, this time it was the soldiers led by Wang Wu, the son of General Wang Ben, I heard that General Wang Wu was also a young hero, but he was brave, and the Wei army was defeated again and again and returned to capture Mengling alive!" The maid was very excited when she mentioned this battle, and she had been accompanying the princess from Qin to Wei for six years, but she also wanted to return to Qin all the time.
"Princess, it looks like it won't be long before we can go back!"
Hearing the maid Duo'er's eyebrows fluttering, the woman's brows became more and more wrinkled: "Father still can't help but do it, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult for us to go back at this point!" ”
"How is this possible?" The maid looked at her princess and looked at her princess and looked really strict, but didn't the Qin State win the battle?
"The relationship between Qin and Wei is getting worse and worse, my father is determined to annex Wei and unify the world, and Wei will not send his land so lightly, and now the reason why Qin has not led a large army to drive straight in is also considering that he is still in the hands of Wei, and now he has already become a talisman of Wei, how can Wei let himself escape, and if necessary, it may even be" The more he said, the more he became clearer about his shape at this time, I'm afraid I'll have to find a way back for myself.
"Yo, I said that in broad daylight, I thought that this pear blossom had become a fairy and transformed into such a beautiful woman, it turned out to be Princess Yingxi!" The man who spoke so lightly and with a lewd smile on his face was Xue Gang, the son of the prime minister of the current Wei State.
Only heard this nasty voice Ying Xi felt a burst of disgust in his heart, this Xue Gang is also notorious in the Wei State, is a stubborn child who relies on his father's power, especially a womanizer, I heard that he is prostituting his wife and daughter outside, occupying the land, everyone in Wei State hates it but is helpless, and those squires and tyrants are greedy for power and even think of the law to offer him a beautiful woman, and this person is even more refusal, and the lust is getting bigger and bigger, several times I saw myself in this palace I did not shy away from staring at myself, and that look was ill-intentionedIf it weren't for his father's side, he would have uttered some foul language.
Ying Xi still ignored him and walked to his room with Duo'er. This Xue Gang is not angry at all, the more the beauty ignores him, the more he has an urge to kiss Fang Ze, he likes this kind of cold beauty, besides, she is still the princess of the Qin State, and this identity is probably incomparable to the woman of the Wei State, thinking of this, Xue Gang felt more and more that a certain part of his body could not be suppressed.
He walked forward quickly and deliberately blocked Ying Xi's way, "Bold, what do you want to do to our princess?" Before Yingxi could speak, Duo'er opened her mouth first.
Xue Gang's eyes wandered back and forth on Ying Xi for a while, and he said with a crooked smile and said, "I just want to say goodbye to the princess." ”
"No need." Ying Xi said coldly, and was about to continue walking forward after speaking.
"Princess," Xue Gang still stopped in front, and it didn't seem that he was going to let them go lightly.
"Today's clear weather is a good day for boating on the lake, it just so happens that my son booked a big boat on the Huai River, why not the princess? It's just the right time to let the princess relax! ”
It seems that this guy will not give up if he does not achieve his goal, Ying Xi secretly thought that although he is the princess of Qin, but this is the territory of Wei, he is just a prisoner bird with an empty title but no rights, but if he agrees, he is afraid that he will be like a turtle in an urn on the boat at that time.
Ying Xi bit his lip and said: "More kindness to Xue Gongzi, Ying Xi is a little unwell today, not suitable for boating and blowing the wind, Childe should find someone else!" After speaking, he didn't care whether Xue Gang agreed or not, and pulled Duo'er back quickly.
Looking at the beauty in front of him who refused to give in, Xue Gang's eyes became more and more silvery, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he turned around and hugged Ying Xi's thin body.
"Bold Xue Gang, what are you doing!" At this time, Ying Xi shouted angrily while struggling to resist.
"Princess, since you are unwell, why don't you let Xue Gang take you back to your room to recuperate?" Xue Gang didn't react to Ying Xi's reprimand, but instead intensified his efforts to pick her up on the spot and hold her close to his arms.
"You, you, let go of our princess!" Duo'er tried her best to beat Xue Gang, but it still had no effect, she shouted to the nearby guards to come over, but those guards didn't dare to step forward when they saw Xue Gang.
"Xue Gang, do you know that I am the princess of Daqin, and offending the princess is a capital crime!" At this time, Ying Xi was no longer struggling, and she looked at Xue Gang with a lewd smile on her face with her eyes wide open.
"Hahaha, princess? Don't forget that now this is in my Great Wei, what about the princess of Qin, that's just a title, in Wei this is my Xue Gang's territory, I can do whatever I want, who dares to touch me? "Xue Gang is already cowardly, today I just want to get your hands on you, the princess, and see who dares to obstruct me!
"Smack!" A crisp applause hit Xue Gang's face, Xue Gang was stunned for a moment and then smiled, "It seems that the princess really can't wait to go to Wushan with me, see how I wait to clean up and make the princess want to die, hahaha!" ”
At this time, Ying Xi knew that she was afraid that she was really going to be ruined by this beast, or not, in such a long life, she had carried too much as a princess of Qin, maybe it would be regarded as eliminating harm for the people if she died with him, Ying Xi closed his eyes, and held the dagger he used for self-defense with his other hand.
"Xue Gang, do you still take the king in your eyes? Do you remember who you are? A shrill, old-fashioned voice came.
Xue Gang was looking back impatiently to see which old guy was disturbing his Yaxing, and the person who came was a tall and thin old man in good spirits, "What are you still looking at, why don't you hurry up and arrest him!" ”
Those guards hesitated when they heard the old man's angry shouting, and then saw the old man's majestic face and immediately stepped forward to arrest Xue Gang, of course Xue Gang would not be so light-hearted, he shouted, "Xinlingjun, don't think it's great to rely on the king's support, my father is the prime minister today, even the king has to rely on him!" ”
"Humph!" Xin Lingjun sneered: "I don't care about others, this is in the palace of King Wei, I only know that this is the Wei State, you dare to insult the proton of the Qin State in public and affect the friendship of Qin and Wei, this can be regarded as a national event, I am afraid that even if your father is present, I dare to arrest you!" Xue Gang, I advise you to cause less trouble, your son and dirty king have already heard of it, but it is just to turn a blind eye to your father's face, and now it is a national event, do you think the king will let you go? ”
Xue Gang gritted his teeth after hearing this, and thought about it, no matter how big his father was, he was never a king, he put down the beauty in his arms and glared at Xin Lingjun unwillingly, and walked away, hum, this old man will have to clean him up sooner or later, and this beauty, sooner or later he will have to get it!
"Thank you, sir!"
"Hmph, Princess Yingxi doesn't have to be so polite, I'm just thinking about the Wei Kingdom and the king, if the princess really remembers the kindness of the old man, write a letter to your father and ask him if he still remembers the friendship between Qin and Wei!" After Xin Lingjun finished speaking, he didn't wait for Ying Xi to reply, and then he brushed his sleeves away.
"Princess, this old man is really old-fashioned!" Duo'er, who was frightened just now, patted her chest and said.
"I'm afraid that the Wei State can continue to this day because of this Lord Xinlingjun, and he is the only one who can dare to speak out and dare to confront Cheng in this Great Wei country, which is fortunate for the Great Wei, but for my Great Qin is a thorn in the eye that must be pulled out, now that he has saved me, should he leave him alive when I capture the Wei State?" was hesitating, and suddenly smiled, Xinling Jun is such a loyal minister, how can such an old-fashioned and stubborn person survive when the country is broken?
It seems that since the last time Meng Ling was arrested, there has been no movement on the Qin side, but King Wei An felt that the Qin State was eyeing him, and the calmer the situation, the more fierce the next war would be, so he convened several important ministers to discuss how to deal with the ambitions of the Qin State.
Xue Liang, the prime minister of Wei, and his son Xue Gang were also among them, at this time, some people were in the main battle, thinking that it was better to take the initiative than to be passive, so that Qin knew that Wei was not so light and active, at least to weaken the momentum of Qin, and some people thought that it was better to make peace, and now the strength of Qin's country is in full swing, but the land is cut and the city is lost, first security and then recuperation and ready to go, and Xinlingjun thinks that the joint resistance to Qin is the best way, the so-called lips and teeth are cold, everyone can see the ambition of King Qin Yingzheng, how can a Wei State be satisfied, It is necessary to unite several other countries to fight against Qin.
At this time, only Prime Minister Xue Liang did not speak, and King Wei An squinted at Xue Liang, "The Prime Minister has heard so many opinions, has he made a conclusion?" ”
At this time, before Xue Liang could speak, Xue Gang spoke first: "King, Xue Gang doesn't know if he should say something?" ”
"Oh? It seems that the prime minister has a clever son, Xue Gang, what strategy do you have? ”
"Yes, I wonder if the king still remembers the proton that King Qin sent over that day, Princess Yingxi?"
"This, the widow should remember that the princess of the Qin Kingdom, I heard that the King of Qin still loves it very much, and she was sent to the Wei State as a proton that day, and the widow was also very surprised."
"That's right, I heard that this princess looks very similar to King Qin's very favorite lady that day, so she is very popular with King Qin, so this is one of the reasons why King Qin has not made a big move to attack Wei, Xue Gang thinks that we should simply marry Qin and turn the princess into a person from Wei, so that King Qin can't help if he wants to get the princess back, Qin Wei has reached a superficial friendship, I'm afraid there is no reason to attack Wei, in addition, Xue Gang also thinks that what Xinling Jun said just now is very good, we are married to Qin on the one hand, Secretly, he also wants to form an alliance with several other countries to fight against Qin, what does the king think of such a plan to kill two birds with one stone? ”
King Wei An was a little impressed by the notorious son of the prime minister, and what he said was not unreasonable, "It's just that if the widowed prince is allowed to marry the princess, won't the descendants in the future also have the blood of the Qin State, besides, Ying Xi is a Qin State after all, even if she marries into the Wei royal family, she will not always be content to be a Wei State person."
"The king doesn't have to worry, if he doesn't marry the Wei royal family, Xue Gang is willing to marry Princess Yingxi as his wife, and he can find a way to win the princess's heart and make the princess become Wei's side!"
"Hahaha, the prime minister really taught well, it is really a happy event to have such a wise and brave son, I think this princess Yingxi is also very compatible with him, so I will marry tomorrow, next month, no, just find an auspicious day in a few days to hold a wedding ceremony, I want to do a lively and lively one, so that the people of the city and the Qin State know about it! Do the ministers have any comments? ”
Xue Liang immediately thanked him: "Thank you for the king's love for the dog's marriage!" In addition to Xinlingjun, the other ministers also echoed in congratulations.
"That's great, haha!" Solving the urgent need, King Wei An looked extremely happy.
And Xue Gang, who had been bowing his head, smiled with ill will, hum, Princess Yingxi, now you are my person!
