Chapter 273: Chestnut in the Fire (4)

Night falls. The flower hall was brightly lit, and Sulu paced back and forth at the door of the flower hall restlessly, casting anxious glances at Kong Sheng's bedroom from time to time.

There was no lamp in the bedroom, it was dark and silent, and there was not a sound.

It's already May, and it's the time of spring. The warm wind blows through the entire house, the moon is sparse, and occasionally a few crisp birdsong can be heard in the night sky.

The door of the bedroom creaked open, Su Lu suddenly looked up, and Kong Sheng walked out of the room slowly wearing a green shirt, while his sister Su Wu followed, Su Lu's identity was as quiet and plain as ever, and seeing her neat dress, Su Lu subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, from the very beginning, he earnestly hoped that his sister Su Wu could marry Kong Sheng, because in his opinion, there was no better way to form an alliance than marriage. Especially when Su Lu gradually realized that Kong Sheng was a person who valued love and righteousness, as long as Su Yu really became the woman next to Kong Sheng, no matter what happened in the future, Kong Sheng would look down on Xixi people.

It's just that Su Wan's pseudonym Manrou stayed by Kong Sheng's side for a long time and didn't do a good thing, which made Su Lu feel uneasy. Therefore, this time he was worried that it was not that his sister Su Wu was robbed of the innocence of his daughter's family by Kong Sheng, but that he knew that his sister's personality was strong, and if Kong Sheng used force against Su Wu, the two sides would definitely tear their faces extremely tragically. It can't end.

Su Lu walked over quickly, looked at Kong Sheng and smiled reluctantly: "I've seen Childe!" ”

Before Kong Sheng could speak, Su Wu behind him stood up first and said in a deep voice: "Brother, what are you doing here?" Don't hurry back home! ”

In many cases, Su Wu felt that her brother was not enough to succeed and more than to lose. Not only can she not help her share the heavy responsibility of guaranteeing Quan Xixi. It will also be a burden to her. Let's say this time, for example. If it weren't for Su Lu being captured by the official army, she would not have risked her disguise to infiltrate Xiayi, and then she would not have had everything that followed, let alone being held by Kong Sheng at this moment, and she would do everything she could to threaten.

For example, today, if it weren't for Su Lu coming with her, she would have been able to ignore Kong Sheng's coercion, let alone worry about Su Lu's safety.

Of course, Su Lu understood the hidden meaning of his sister Su Wan's words. But he didn't think so. He has been with Kong Sheng for a long time, and he knows Kong Sheng's personality very well, even if Kong Sheng can't get Xixi's soldiers and horses as he wishes, at most he will be scattered in two and will not be angry with himself.

Su Lu ignored Su Wan's hint and continued to bow to Kong Sheng.

A strange smile appeared on the corner of Kong Sheng's mouth, but it disappeared in a flash. He waved his hand and said lightly: "Sulu, your brothers and sisters colluded to set up a trap to bring Kong to Jiyin County, and you dare to appear in front of Kong." Do you really think that Kong has become the meat on your board to be slaughtered? ”

Su Lu explained with a wry smile: "Childe, Su Lu has no intention of harming Childe. Sulu can swear to the sky. If there is half a point of unfavorable thoughts for the son, Su Lu will not have to die well! ”

Sulu immediately swore an oath.

Kong Sheng smiled coldly: "So, what is your intention in bringing me here?" ”

Su Lu rubbed his hands and said sincerely: "Childe, Su Lu sincerely wants to lead all the clansmen to submit to the imperial court and serve under Gongzi. Just ......"

Kong Sheng pursed his lips: "It's just that you, the prince of Xixi, I'm afraid it's just an ornament, and your words may be a gust of wind for the Xixi people, and they will disperse when they blow over." Well, since you can't be the master, Kong doesn't blame you, and he won't force you Xixi. ”

"But there is one point, how can Xixi people not mention it again, it's just that Su Wu has married Kong, that is, Kong's woman, and this will never change. Unless I don't want her, she'll have to stay with me - lady, don't you say? The second half of Kong Sheng's words suddenly became a little funny.

Su Wanqiao's face was frosty, and she scolded: "Don't you think about it!" ”

Kong Sheng Huo Ran turned around and said word by word: "You Xixi people can choose your own path, even if you rebel from thieves, then no one can interfere." The so-called Tao is not the same, Kong will not be reluctant. However, since you and I are married, if you dare to betray Kong and openly provoke Kong's dignity, then, whether it is national hatred or family hatred, Kong will be inseparable from you Xixi people, and will never die! ”

Kong Sheng's words were sonorous and murderous.

Su Lu chuckled in his heart when he heard this, and knew that Kong Sheng was really angry. Or, as Kong Sheng said, the Xixi people are reluctant to surrender to the official army, which is a matter of route choice. But Su Wu turned her back on Kong Sheng after getting married and spread the word, which really directly violated Kong Sheng's dignity as a man. And because of Su Wan's different identity, Su Wan's betrayal is actually the hostility of the entire Xixi tribe for Kong Sheng.

Su Wan's face also became a little ugly. She gritted her teeth, stomped her foot, and said in a low voice: "Kong Sheng, don't deceive people too much!" ”

Kong Sheng's face was gloomy: "Am I deceiving people too much?" You Xixi people deceived me in the front, insulted me in the back, and even beat me back? Su Wan, I will give you two choices. First, follow me back to Xiayi honestly, as for the Xixi people to continue to serve in the rebels, Kong will not interfere, and you will not be blamed for deceiving me; Second, you and I parted ways, and I will fight with the whole army on the other day, if you don't kill all of your Xixi people, Kong will not be a man! ”

After Kong Sheng finished speaking, he turned around and brushed his sleeves away.

Looking at Kong Sheng's angry back, Su Lu frowned awkwardly and rubbed his hands, not knowing what to do.

Su Wu raised her eyebrows, and was just about to leave, when suddenly Kong Sheng's almost ruthless "oath" echoed in her ears, and she was worried that Kong Sheng would use Senran means to endanger the entire Xixi people, and for a while, she was in a dilemma and her mind was in turmoil.

Su Lu frowned and said in a deep voice: "Su Wu, when my father was dying, he entrusted me with all the affairs of the Xixi clan, how about the Xixi people, I can't let you have the final say." ”

When Su Wu heard this, she suddenly became angry, and said in her heart, "You didn't cause these troubles? If it weren't for your safety, if it weren't for worrying about the thousands of clansmen in Xiayi, she would have been pinched by Kong Sheng's words, and she would be humiliated by him and unable to resist?

"Brother, I can't watch you lead your people into the fire pit. The An clan may not be a climate, but the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was not a good thing. If there is chaos today, our Xixi people are thin, soldiers and horses are scarce, and if you are not careful, you will have the disaster of extermination! Su Wan said patiently, "Facts have proved that this Kong Sheng is a shameless scum, no different from those corrupt officials in the Tang Dynasty, you are really stupid to give him the lives of more than 100,000 people?!" ”

"Besides, we still have tens of thousands of clansmen in our hometown in Hedong, if you and I lead the army back to Tang, and the 100,000 iron horsemen in Hedong retaliate with anger, what should we do?"

Su Lu defended dissatisfiedly: "The An's rebellion has come to an end, the An's army has been transferred to Guanluo to guard, and the imperial court army has been cleared, can they still take care of our Xixi?" ”

"Sister, listen to what your brother says, don't be so stubborn! Kong Sheng is both civil and military, a young hero, he turned the tide in Henan, and made military exploits, and his future can be imagined. We Xixi are a small clan, attached to the powerful of the dynasty, and we can find a way to make a living for the whole clan in the future! Otherwise, once the official army exterminates the An rebels, we will be regarded as rebels and killed together, and sooner or later we will also be exterminated! ”

Su Lu persuaded him bitterly, trying to make Su Yu change her mind.

Su Wan sneered: "This kind of person has no credibility at all, and it is really ridiculous to pin the lives of his clansmen on him." If he doesn't keep his word in the future, brother, what can you do? ”

Su Lu was also a little anxious and angry: "He has already married you, married to my Xixi, and is Xixi's son-in-law, even if he doesn't care about our abandonment of darkness and light, he will always miss a little bit of husband and wife in the future, right?" ”

Su Wanqiao's face turned red, and she said angrily: "The so-called marriage is just an expedient measure, a trick to deceive people, brother, are you dizzy?" (To be continued.) )
