Chapter 576: Coercion and Temptation
Although He Zhuoqing was very disdainful of this Chen Tianyang in his heart, knowing that he was a shameful person who betrayed the king of Liucheng and usurped the country, but when he saw this person for the first time today, he was still shocked by his natural kingly appearance for some reason, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of awe, so he hugged his fists in his chest and said: "He Zhuoqing has seen the saint!" ”
Emperor Xuanwu paused slightly, stretched out his hand and asked Gonggong Hai, who was standing on the side, to give He Zhuoqing a seat, seeing him sit down peacefully, he couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart: "Looking at the appearance of this person, he is only twenty-three or five years old, but he is steady and old, walks with a tall figure, and firm feet, which shows that he must be an extraordinary person." The old man of the Netherworld is really powerful, and even the apprentices he taught are so extraordinary! Fortunately, this old man finally died, otherwise, how could I sit firmly on this dragon chair? ”
He thought so, but he glanced at He Zhuoqing with a calm expression, and asked casually: "I heard that your master has passed away, and I ask He Shaoxia to mourn and change!" ”
As the saying goes, stretching out his hand and not hitting a smiling person, He Zhuoqing originally thought that the other party must go straight in and ask him to do something for him, but he didn't expect the other party to speak with such warm and concerned words, which caught him off guard.
But his expression was calm, he glanced sideways at King Jing on the side, and said lightly: "The Holy Lord should not just hear about it, right?" Didn't you send heavy troops to our mountains the month before, trying to eradicate the prince and a few of us? Say, what is the matter of seeing me today? ”
King Jing heard that his tone was very disrespectful, and he was about to stand up and scold him, but was stopped by Emperor Xuanwu reaching out and stretching out his hand: "He Shaoxia is a person in the martial arts, it is really refreshing!" I just like people who are as outspoken as He Shaoxia, and they are ten thousand times cuter than those who are disobedient, hypocritical and cunning in the world. Then, I won't beat around the bush. Lord Jing, you should sue him! ”
Prince Jing hurriedly got up and saluted, turned around to look at He Zhuoqing, and said softly: "He Shaoxia just knew that I led my troops to the mountains to chase and kill the crown prince Liu Wenting a month ago, but I didn't know that my move was actually to save his life?" ”
"Oh, Lord Jing was clearly going to kill a few of us that day, but why did he suddenly become a prince to save his life? Forgive me for being stupid, I really don't understand the meaning of Lord Jing's words? ”
He Zhuoqing frowned slightly, and unconsciously said something sarcastic.
Chen Deyong didn't mind, smiled and sighed: "He Shaoxia, have you ever seen any strange things carried by Prince Liu Wenting?" ”
His question made He Zhuoqing really puzzled.
"The empress was forced into the palace by the two of you brothers that day, and she had no choice but to ask us to rush to the palace in time to rescue the prince from the palace. What's more, you also made it clear that the thing I was carrying was a foreign object, and it must be something that attracted attention, and I spent three or four months with it, but I didn't find anything out of the ordinary! ”
Chen Deyong shook his head and sighed: "Sure enough, He Shaoxia was ordered to sacrifice his life to protect the prince, but Liu Wen still didn't trust you, which made you be kept in the dark!" Do you know that Liu Chengjun handed over two important objects related to the safety and happiness of the people in the world to Liu Wenting? ”
He Zhuoqing didn't answer, just looked at him fixedly, and didn't move.
Emperor Xuanwu observed for a long time, and knew that this person must not be concerned by the so-called rare treasures that mortals in the world cared about, so he had a strong idea that he was bound to pull this person into his side.
Chen Deyong sat back in his place, looked sideways at He Zhuoqing and said softly: "These two treasures, one is the Xuantie Order, which can command everyone in the martial arts in the world and is divided into the masters of the martial arts alliance by everyone, and the same is the dragon vein treasure map that can stabilize the country and keep the world peaceful forever!" Could it be that He Shaoxia really didn't realize that these two treasures were on Liu Wenting's body? ”
When He Zhuoqing heard this, although his expression was still calm and calm, in fact, his heart was already turbulent and uncontrollable.
If what Chen Deyong said is true, then he already knows that these two treasures are on the crown prince, so wouldn't the ambitious people in the world soon know this secret? At that time, I am afraid that the crown prince will become the target of everyone in the world who is eager to hunt down! ”
Thinking of this, He Zhuoqing immediately worried about Liu Wenting's safety, but still raised his eyebrows quietly and asked softly, "Is it?" Sure enough, the prince still didn't believe me! It seems that all three of us brothers and sisters have left him and done the right thing! ”
Chen Deyong heard his tone flat, and he chuckled in his heart: "Why does this person still not change his face when he hears such news?" If it weren't for the fact that the prince had already told him the secret, he would have known it a long time ago, and it would be strange that this person was transcendent from the world, his state of mind was like still water, and he didn't care about anything outside his body at all! ”
Thinking of the former possibility, Chen Deyong's heart immediately sprouted a strong idea that he would keep this person here for his own use no matter what.
"He Shaoxia, that day on the mountain, the first time I saw you, I had a sense of sympathy, and I even felt that a hero like Shaoxia who sacrificed his life for righteousness must have the world in mind, trying to open up a new world and make contributions! So despite all the obstructions of the people behind me, I was still determined to save He Shaoxia's life no matter what. Fortunately, the sky took pity on me Chen Deyong cherished the general's heart, which would send He Shaoxia back to me. I can't thank God enough! ”
He Zhuoqing heard his hypocritical words, and his heart was sick. Although it is true that this person saved his life, he is also the initiator, and he is the culprit who caused several of his people to almost die.
Thinking of this, he turned his face away coldly, and he didn't look at Chen Deyong for a while.
When Emperor Xuanwu saw this, he was very displeased, and felt that even if this He Zhuoqing was a virtuous person, he was so disrespectful and disdainful of his two brothers in his heart, even if he was enveloped by himself, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not have dissent in the future, which was not good for him.
Thinking of this, his mind changed a little at this moment, and he secretly glanced at Chen Deyong.
But Chen Deyong still felt that if He Zhuoqing could be influenced by himself, it would be a happy thing for everyone to listen to the order, so he did not give up, and continued: "The saint heard that I strongly recommended He Shaoxia, so he came to me in his busy schedule, eager to meet He Shaoxia. If He Shaoxia can become a member of my Great Chu court, he will definitely become a virtuous minister of my Great Chu, and if he wants to live through the ages, it will never be wishful thinking!
