If it weren't for such an occasion, and Qingcheng also had some understanding of King Guhong's temperament, then he would definitely think that King Guhong was joking. Duan Mu's two families are not world friends, and the relationship between Duan Feiyan and King Guhong is only colleagues, and the two have never talked about family affairs, but they don't want to, King Guhong actually spoke in person, saying that he wanted to recruit Qingcheng as his son-in-law.

After King Guhong said this, fortunately, Qingcheng had no food in his mouth and no wine in his mouth, otherwise he would have to squirt out. The dignified prince of Qi, and the king of Guhong, who is surnamed Wang, will personally talk to people, or for his own daughter. And what he took a fancy to was Qingcheng, a guilty body, ordinary people, which really shocked Qingcheng.

Since ancient times, the marriage of men and women is the order of their parents, and the matchmaker said, although the Duan family and the Ouyang family are world friends, Qingcheng and Ouyang Lan are also childhood sweethearts, and the two have no guesses, so the two really love each other. But their family affairs are also set by the two patriarchs.

But now, King Guhong would take the initiative to find Qingcheng, and insisted on talking to the two people who had nothing to do with each other, which was naturally incomprehensible. Of course, the Qingcheng authorities are fascinated, but the bystanders are clear. King Guhong is the prince of Great Qi, with a transcendent status and great ambitions. However, the means are limited, so that no matter the combat power of the Wanli Army or the level of the generals in the army, compared with the Longqi Army and the Qingcheng Army, it is always slightly inferior, let alone the forbidden army.

And in a situation like his, if you want to go further, there are only two ways. First, external marriage, for example, if King Guhong can make friends with the King of Northern Xinjiang, or the Duke of Warring States, the Duke of Yue, etc., or even become in-laws, the two armies should treat each other with all sincerity, if King Guhong has something, he will not sit idly by, the two families can be said to share honor and disgrace, even if the combat power of the Wanli Army cannot be improved, the comprehensive strength of King Guhong can be regarded as improving a lot. That's actually the best way to do it.

However, there is a big problem with this approach, and it lies in whether that ally is of the same mind. If the king of Guhong is loyal, maybe the two families will be in the same boat, but if one day, the king of Guhong has a different heart, at that time, how can he ensure that his allies will continue to support, instead of killing his relatives in righteousness?

Therefore, the second method is much more reliable, that is, in the Wanli Army, promote a general who has never met talents, and even wears a guilty body, and then recruits them into the family and becomes a family, this person is naturally grateful to Dade. In addition, the people who have become Mu Wangfu, they must share honor and disgrace in the future, and it is difficult to have two hearts.

Therefore, King Guhong took a fancy to Qingcheng. Qingcheng's sinful body doesn't need to be explained too much, his ability and ability to command the army are also in his eyes. In addition, according to his estimate, judging from the situation of the Duan family, the people who will help Qingcheng, or dare to help him, and those who have the ability to help him, are definitely only five fingers when they look at Daqi. Therefore, if King Guhong is really willing to help him and help him avenge the Duan family, Qingcheng will definitely be grateful and repay him wholeheartedly.

What's more, King Guhong is not stupid, he understands that with the prestige of the Duan family in the army, if he can make a comeback, it will naturally become an extremely strong force, and if he can become this person who fuels the troubles, will he still worry that Qingcheng will not have the same heart as himself? What's more, Qingcheng is indeed a talent, capable of literature and martial arts, and his character and personality are also the best choice, recruiting him as a son-in-law is also a good thing for his daughter.

In fact, before the Duan family had an accident, many people had already come to the door to propose marriage. Qingyucheng Duan family's famous general's mansion, Duan Feiyan is a powerful commander of the first army, and Qingcheng, as the only son of the Duan family, is naturally a hot seedling. However, when they learned that it was the Ouyang family who was married to the Duan family, most of them gave up with interest. The Ouyang family in the south is not comparable to those who are idle.

As for King Guhong, he didn't have this plan at that time. Because he and Duan Feiyan have political disagreements, and they are not all the way to each other, they naturally don't want to touch this mold. But now it's different, the Duan family is in trouble, the general trend has gone, and a snob like King Guhong naturally feels that the Ouyang family will break the contract. So, here's your chance.

He values Qingcheng's ability and temperament, and thinks that as long as he gives favors and makes him grateful to himself, he will definitely find ways to repay him. In that way, the Wanli army can be said to be like a tiger with wings, and in less than five years, its combat power will definitely be able to surpass all the town armies of Daqi, and even look up to the forbidden army. At that time, he had enough capital for what he wanted to do.

Therefore, when he mentioned this family matter with Qingcheng, it was almost in a tone of Daoxi, and he had no intention of discussing it at all. And in this way, Qingcheng's situation is much more embarrassing.

Gladly responded, and then thanked, it was certainly impossible. Not to mention that Qingcheng has already seen the nature and ambition of King Guhong, and knows that he is not the master of Ming, and he still has to vote for his family if he has the opportunity, not to mention that the relationship between Qingcheng and Ouyang Lan is not an overnight thing, and he will never give up this beloved because of anything such as power and status. However, the dignified prince personally said that as a matchmaker, as Qingcheng, if he bluntly refused, it would almost turn King Guhong into an enemy.

Even ordinary people will feel embarrassed, let alone people of the status of King Guhong. Therefore, refusal must be refused, but how to refuse is what Qingcheng is doing at the moment.

"This Lone Hong King is really speechless. I thought that he was going to be unfavorable to Zhenhai Hou, but who knew that he threw such a 'gift' to me, no wonder the person said that even if there is something, it is a happy event. Listening to his tone, there is no room for manoeuvre in this matter, and besides, in my current capacity, a prince himself speaks about such a matter, and I do not seem to have the right to refuse. Hey, it's really a Hongmen feast......"

As soon as King Gu Hong's words fell, Qingcheng fell into a burst of surprise and contemplation, and the former and Xu Lin could understand it in their eyes. After all, this matter is sudden, and people have to have some time to adapt. And after a while, seeing that Qingcheng didn't mean to thank him, Xu Lin coughed lightly and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Duan Qingcheng, who had experienced a hundred battles and was calm and calm in the face of Haichuan's strong army, would also have this kind of rudeness." Yes, this kind of happy event is indeed surprising, but Qingcheng, you haven't thanked you yet. ”

Xu Lin was obviously reminding Qingcheng that he had been silent for too long, and following King Guhong's words, he didn't give Qingcheng a chance to refuse. And looking at Qingcheng's look of surprise that could not be concealed, King Guhong chuckled and said, "What kind of grace do you have to thank the family, Xu Lin, you are good at making the scene serious." Qingcheng, this matter is not only a happy event for you, but also a happy event for this king, no need to thank you, let's have another full drink, come. ”

As he spoke, King Guhong raised the wine glass in his hand and waited for Qingcheng to reply. And looking at his movements, Qingcheng's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, knowing that what should come is always coming, even if he can't think of a good way to deal with it, he always has to give King Guhong an answer. Thinking of this, Qingcheng took a deep breath, then knelt on one knee and clenched his hands into fists.

"Huh?"

Qingcheng didn't clink glasses with himself, but knelt down, in this case, Xie En's possibility is small, and most of them want to resign. King Gu Hong saw it in his eyes, his eyes became colder, and his murderous aura gradually floated, he saw that Qingcheng did not speak after kneeling, so he sneered and asked, "Qingcheng, what are you doing here?" Didn't this king say, no thanksgiving. ”

Listening to King Guhong's words, Qingcheng frowned, hesitated for a moment and then said: "Thanks to the prince's love, Qingcheng is terrified, if you can become a family with the prince, it will be Qingcheng's honor." However, Qingcheng is just a common man, and he is a guilty person, so he really can't afford to be a prince, and he is not worthy of the high-ranking dignitaries of Mu Wangfu. ”

Qingcheng's refusal was obvious, but he finally saved some face for King Guhong, and only said that he was not worthy. This is the first time that Qingcheng has taken the initiative to admit that he is guilty, if it weren't for the fact that King Guhong said that he was embarrassed, maybe he would never want to call himself guilty.

And when Qingcheng's voice fell, Xu Lin's face changed greatly, and he seemed to be ready to do it. Although King Guhong's approach is difficult for a strong man, it shows sincerity, which Qingcheng also agrees with. And he actually refused to face to face, Xu Lin did not accept this approach, and he knew even more that King Guhong would not stop there.

Looking at Qingcheng's appearance, King Guhong's face did not change, and he was already angry in his heart. He put down the wine glass in his hand, was silent for a moment, and then said with a sneer: "Qingcheng, this king heard me right, right?" Are you rejecting the king's kindness? ”

Qingcheng had already felt the murderous aura in King Guhong's tone, he knew that this matter would not be easily stopped, but it was about Ouyang Lan, even if it was difficult to get over, even if there would be an enemy of the prince after today, Qingcheng had also decided that he would not regret his death.

"The prince has a good intention, how dare Qingcheng not know what to do. But Qingcheng knew his identity, and he was really afraid of embarrassing the prince, so he didn't dare to climb the prince. What's more, Qingcheng and the county lord have never met, let alone intersect, and Qingcheng has no achievements, how can such a husband add glory to Mu Wangfu. Qingcheng believed that the county lord would not agree to this family business, so he dared to beg and ask the prince to take back his life. The prince's weight and love Qingcheng are well understood, and he should do his best to serve the prince in the future. ”

Qingcheng bluntly refused, but showed his attitude, he understood the good intentions of King Guhong, and he should repay him in the future. However, even so, the shame of being rejected in person cannot be dissipated like this.

King Gu Hong forcibly endured the anger in his heart, the murderous aura in his eyes became more and more fierce, his right hand quietly clenched the wine glass, and the blue tendons on his face were obvious. In his opinion, Qingcheng is a criminal and is not loved by the emperor, and if he does not have the support of a backer, he may not be able to get ahead in his life. And what about him King Guhong, that is the foreign surname of Daqi, the prince of the emperor's invasion, one of the generals of the Quartet, and the commander of the Wan Li army, the distance between the two is not the same at all.

And now, as the prince of King Guhong, he wants to marry his daughter to Qingcheng after being a criminal minister, but he refuses to marry in person, this kind of behavior is tantamount to a great shame in the eyes of King Guhong, if he didn't know that Qingcheng's ability is not easy to take, he would have let Xu Lin do it a long time ago and broke him into pieces.

After Qingcheng finished speaking, there was a strange silence in the private room, Qingcheng didn't dare to raise his head, his heart was pounding, and he didn't know what King Guhong was thinking. In fact, if he really wants to be unfavorable to himself, then Qingcheng is not afraid, but after all, people are gracious to him, which is indeed a good intention, which makes Qingcheng difficult.

After a while, the silence was finally broken, and I saw King Guhong take a deep breath and say with a cold face: "You don't have to say those beautiful words, this king will ask you, do you agree?" ”

Guhong Wang San asked Qingcheng, and the latter really felt that his head was big, but he couldn't take half a step back on the issue of principle, so he had to reply with a hard head: "Wang Ye Mingjian, Qingcheng has already married the little daughter of the Ouyang family, and Ouyang Lan has a marriage contract in front of him, so he really can't wronged the county lord." The good intentions of the prince, Qingcheng will be the ...... in the future"

"Bang!"

Without waiting for Qingcheng to finish speaking, the anger in King Guhong's heart could no longer be suppressed, and the wine glass in his hand was shattered by him, and at the same time slapped it on the table, and angrily scolded: "I don't know what to lift!" This king doesn't want to give you face, what more do you want? Ouyang's family? Do you think that if you can't climb the palace, you will be able to climb the Ouyang family? This king has a good intention, you refuse without even thinking about it, let you get out alive, what kind of face will this king's daughter have in the future? Xu Lin! ”

"The last general commands!"

Hearing King Guhong greet him, Xu Lin immediately understood, and slapped Qingcheng on the back of the head. He has been accumulating strength for a long time, his palm is full of strength, and his movements are extremely fast, Qingcheng is unguarded, if this palm is really hit, I am afraid, the consequences are unimaginable......
