Chapter 644: Anger Relatively
In the face of Chen Shengye's doubts, Xiao Chumo's expression at this time was very calm, he did not deliberately use sweet words to confuse, but explained his unbelievability in the most ordinary language, he raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said:
"Because Lord Chen is a Ming monarch, he did not oppress the people during his succession, in order to save money, it seems that you have never married a wife and had children, right? This spirit really makes me feel admired, but even so, the economy of Chen Guo and the hardships of the people have not improved, so doesn't Chen Guozhu want to change to a more sensible approach? ”
Xiao Chumo's answer was infected by Chen Shengye after all, yes, relying on these years of diligent efforts, but Chen's economy still has no tendency to change, geography is not dominant, and resources are not enough to support the people to fill their bellies, as the lord of the country, Chen Shengye can hardly sleep almost every night, and the sense of self-blame in his heart is increasing every day, and now Xiao Chumo throws an olive branch, if he is willing to take it, it is equivalent to giving the people of Chen a better future.
After thinking about it, Chen Shengye's face, which seemed to be forever full of seriousness, finally showed a slight smile, he stared at Xiao Chumo's face, and said: "You are indeed a qualified negotiator, although it seems that it is not too moral to betray the Lord of the Snow Country and devote yourself to the Ning Kingdom, but for the sake of the people's peace and contentment, I can only abandon my dignity, I promise......"
Before Chen Shengye's words could be finished, a familiar and mocking voice came from the steps of the restaurant: "I didn't expect that Chen Guozhu, who looks serious on weekdays, turned out to be a dog without a backbone?" If someone gives you a little benefit, you will immediately wag your tail and beg for mercy, and flatter it as a master, hehe, it is really disgusting! ”
Hearing this sarcastic voice, even if Chen Shengye didn't look over, it was not difficult to guess the identity of the other party, but Xiao Chumo and Ling Feng looked in the direction where the voice came from, and after the sound of stepping up the steps, Jiang Zhiyou, the always arrogant and rude Lord of the Snow Country, and Ming Xixuan, who was inseparable from him, actually appeared in the restaurant.
The two of them seemed to have the intention of appearing here, Jiang Zhiyou swayed the paper fan, squinting at Chen Shengye's eyes full of disdain, he and Ming Xixuan wanted to sit down, but Ling Feng saw that the purpose of the two of them coming here was not pure, so he immediately blocked the way of the two with his sword scabbard, and there was an indifferent warning between his eyebrows: "Sorry, there is no place here, if the two of you want to drink, let's go elsewhere as soon as possible!" ”
Seeing the killing intent on Ling Feng's face, Jiang Zhiyou and Ming Xixuan both showed panic on their faces at first, but they were quickly replaced by a sneer.
Jiang Zhiyou folded the paper fan, and pointed downstairs, and said to Xiao Chumo with a smile: "I advise you not to be too sharp, now this restaurant belongs to the junction of the two countries, not like in the military camp before, as long as I give an order, my elite soldiers will immediately kill, as the so-called two fists are hard to defeat four hands, can you three people be sure that you can fight out of the encirclement?" ”
Following the direction pointed by Jiang Zhiyou, Xiao Chumo turned his head to look, and really saw that the elite soldiers of the Snow Country had already blocked the entire restaurant, and they seemed to be waiting for Jiang Zhiyou to give an order, analyzing the situation in front of him, Xiao Chumo knew that he couldn't go head-to-head with them, after all, when they came out this time, they didn't bring too many people, so he glanced at Ling Feng, and Ling Feng immediately stopped obstructing Jiang Zhiyou and Ming Xixuan, but stood back by Xiao Chumo's side.
After Jiang Zhiyou and the two sat down, Chen Shengye frowned and asked, "How did you two know that I was here?" ”
Receiving Xiao Chumo's visit, for the sake of safety, Chen Shengye didn't tell anyone, but a few messengers knew, but now it seems that among those people, there is Jiang Zhiyou's eyeliner, otherwise, how could Jiang Zhiyou and Ming Xixuan find here accurately?
Or seeing that the matter of arranging spies by Chen Shengye's side was seen through by him himself, Jiang Zhiyou didn't explain, but snorted coldly with a disapproving face: "If I hadn't bought off the people around you, maybe I would have known that I was still in the dark now, and I wouldn't have known that you actually wanted to betray me and devote yourself to Ning Guo's side, wouldn't you?" ”
Jiang Zhiyou didn't intend to explain the matter of the spy in detail, although nominally, he and Chen Shengye's status are the same, both of them are the monarchs of the country, but because the resources of the Snow Country are much richer than that of Chen Guo, Jiang Zhiyou thinks that his identity is much higher than Chen Shengye, so he always looks arrogant in front of him.
After learning that Jiang Zhiyou had never fully trusted him from the beginning, and even bought off his subordinates, Chen Shengye suddenly became angry, he clenched his fists tightly, glared angrily at Jiang Zhiyou, who was still smiling proudly, and roared:
"You're stretching your minions too far, aren't you? That's right, it was indeed me who found you first, wanting the two countries to reach an alliance and save the poor people of my Chen country, but you, Jiang Zhiyou, did not fulfill the original promise, not only did you not help our Chen country in the slightest, but also continued to exploit and plunder, and even openly participated in the political affairs of my Chen country, which is too deceitful, right? ”
"What if you deceive people too much? Is that why you betrayed me? Don't forget, when you asked me for help, your attitude was much more humble than now, why, now that Ning Guo is supporting you, have you begun to speak with confidence? ”
Jiang Zhiyou snorted disdainfully, his move was also to answer Chen Shengye, in fact, he didn't want to help Chen Guo from the beginning, but just used the fact that Chen Guo had more soldiers to cause a war with Ning Guo, so he could take the opportunity to take advantage of the fisherman.
The atmosphere at the wine table suddenly fell into a stiff situation, Ming Xixuan, as the only little follower, although he was also a monarch, but in front of Jiang Zhiyou, he never dared to be presumptuous, and this was also the case at this time, he quietly pulled Chen Shengye's sleeve, and persuaded in a low voice: "Lord Chen, why do you have to come to this point?" As long as we help the Snow Country Lord achieve his wishes, he will definitely not abandon the two of us at that time, you better think about it, and be soft with the Snow Country Lord, you can't really fight each other, right? ”
Quietly listening to the conversation between the three of them, Xiao Chumo didn't say a word, firstly, the choice of this matter was originally on Chen Shengye's own body, as the lord of a country, he had enough candidates to choose his own people to reach an alliance, and secondly, Xiao Chumo also wanted to take the opportunity to test Chen Shengye, after all, hearing is false, seeing is believing, if Chen Shengye really wants to continue to cooperate with Jiang Zhiyou, then Xiao Chumo naturally has no need to continue to waste time on him!
Jiang Zhiyou continued to sway the paper fan, with a lazy appearance, as if he recognized that Chen Shengye would bow his head to him and admit his mistakes in the end, but in the end, Chen Shengye's choice was greatly beyond his expectations!
