Chapter 242: Political Marriage (3)
Although Kong Sheng did not let go in the end, from that night onwards, a small news circulated in Xiayi City, saying that Kong Sheng was about to marry Su Wu, the princess of Xixi, and more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Xixi were about to surrender.
When Kong Sheng heard this, he immediately realized that this was a means of Nangong Wang's envoy, and it could be regarded as a side-kick, in order to appease Xi's heart.
Anyway, Kong Sheng didn't agree from beginning to end, these words came out of Nangong Wang's mouth, and when the time came, Kong Sheng could not admit it with peace of mind, and the responsibility would be borne by Nangong Wang alone.
Kong Sheng laughed it off.
However, although he didn't agree with Nangong Wang's approach, he also knew his good intentions in doing so, and after thinking about it again, he didn't open his mouth to refute the rumors, and he didn't admit it but didn't deny it publicly.
The Xixi people are elated from Sulu downward. They are in Xiayi, although they are called the official and military camp under the command of one body, but they are all foreign races who have surrendered, not to mention the soldiers and civilians of Xiayi, even they themselves regard themselves as outsiders.
But if Princess Su of Xixi and Kong Sheng marry, it will be completely different. Xixi people have become Kong Sheng's relatives and "own people" psychologically and from a sense of belonging, and they no longer have the slightest worries.
Kong Sheng himself didn't stand up and say anything, and the generals under Kong Sheng's command couldn't talk nonsense. It's an Overseer's private business, anyway, and who can point fingers?
But to Nangong Wang's surprise, there was a person who went berserk about this, Nie Chuchen.
Nangong Wang sent away Su Lu, the prince of Xixi who came to visit, and was reading a version of the art of war in his study when he was in a daze, when the door of the study was kicked open. Nie Chuchen, who had a pretty face, appeared in his field of vision.
Nangong Wang looked up and was stunned: "Senior sister? What are you? ”
Nie Chuchen stepped in with a cold face. He immediately pulled out his cloud-piercing bow from his back. The action of taking the arrow and drawing the bow was completed in one go, and before Nangong Wang could react, a feather arrow swished through the book of the art of war in Nangong Wang's hand, and then shot into the wooden beam and pillar behind Nangong Wang with the book, humming loudly.
Nangong Wang's face changed suddenly, and he got up angrily and said angrily: "Senior sister, are you crazy?" ”
Nie Chuchen stood there, clenching the Cloud Piercing Bow. Said coldly: "Nangong Wang, you are really crazy!" You actually asked Senior Brother Kong to marry a Xixi woman, it is really annoying and hateful, and you are angry with the slave family! ”
Nangong Wang let out a sigh of relief, his expression softened slightly, and he smiled bitterly: "Senior sister, you misunderstood the mountain people." I'm not ......."
Nie Chuchen said sharply: "Nangong Wang, you don't pretend in front of this girl!" What are you not? You took Confucius's younger brother Naxi Xi as his wife, and bewitched him to be greedy for beauty, which is known all over the city. Are you still quibbling?! ”
A helpless smile flashed across Nangong Wang's face, and he took two steps forward. He said in a deep voice: "Senior sister, you really misunderstood your senior brother. I have never been lascivious and greedy for flowers, not to mention that Senior Brother Kong is not that kind of person! ”
"Nangong Wang, don't quibble! The facts are in front of you, when this girl is blind and deaf, can't she be?! Nie Chuchen sneered: "Shameless! ”
"Senior sister, marrying with Senior Brother Kong is the idea of the Xixi people, and it has nothing to do with me. Senior Brother Kong never agreed to Xixiren's request...... If you don't believe me, I can't help it. Nangong Wang said with a wry smile.
"However, there is something that the mountain people must explain to you, junior sister. Senior sister, think about it, a dragon among people like Senior Brother Kong, whether it is now or in the future, it is impossible for you to be the only woman by your side...... And you should also understand that Senior Brother Kong is a person who wants to do great things, and his current marriage with the Xixi people is the only way for him to accept more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Xixi. ”
Nangong Wang lowered his voice again and said: "Of course, it is just an expedient measure now, and there are still great variables in the future whether Senior Brother Kong will really marry Princess Su Wu of Xixi." But even if it's a real marriage, I think, junior sister, you also need to accept and face the reality, not ......"
Nangong Wang's meaningful gaze was projected on Nie Chuchen, who was looking ashamed and indignant, and said, "Senior sister, every word of senior brother comes from the bottom of my heart, and I have no intention of harming you at all. It's not that Senior Brother is talkative, since you choose to stay with Senior Brother Kong, you should know what kind of woman he needs, if you can't be a husband and a child, then, at least don't be a jealous woman! ”
Nie Chuchen was furious and scolded angrily: "Nangong Wang, what should I do, I don't need you to teach me!" How about Senior Brother Kong, I don't need you to point fingers! Nangong Wang, if you dare to bewitch Senior Brother Kong like this in the future, be careful that Senior Brother Kong turns her face and doesn't recognize people! ”
Nie Chuchen turned around angrily with the Cloud Piercing Bow on his back and left.
When she came, she kicked open the door, and when she left, she also kicked the door of Nangong Wang's study with one foot, she came and went quickly, this scene made several people around Nangong Wang stunned.
Looking at the graceful back of Nie Chuchen who left angrily, Nangong Wang laughed.
He never expected that he would be a lobbyist for Su Lu, the prince of Xixi, and considering Kong Sheng's grand cause, he took great pains to promote the nominal marriage between Kong Sheng and Xixi, but it provoked such a fierce backlash from Nie Chuchen, which directly caused the senior brothers and sisters to turn their faces into enemies.
Nangong Wang knew Nie Chuchen's temperament and personality, and knew that she would do what she said, I was afraid that for a period of time, Nie Chuchen would regard him as a stranger.
But Nangong Wangcong never took Nie Chuchen's "rebound" seriously in his heart, in his opinion, women are short-sighted after all, and they can't be a big deal at all. Since Nie Chuchen is willing to be Kong Sheng's woman, if he can't even accept Kong Sheng's other women, he can only find his own guilt.
Fools can understand that Kong Sheng, a person who has a bright future and is destined to grow into a big man, cannot have fewer women around him. Whether it is emotional needs, political marriages, or other deep-seated choices, three wives and four concubines are predictable for Kong Sheng in the future.
After Nie Chuchen left, Meng Zan flashed out of a corner of the courtyard, walked into Nangong Wang's study with a smile, and bowed: "Mr. Nangong!" ”
Nangong Wang has never liked Meng Zan very much, whether it was in the cottage in the past, or now in Xiayi City, he thinks that this person will do anything to achieve his goals, he is the kind of villain who forgets his righteousness, and he cannot be reused or trusted.
At this point, Nangong Wang and Kong Sheng's evaluation and understanding of Meng Zan coincide.
Nangong glanced at Meng Zan and said lightly: "Meng Laosan, what are you doing here to Shanren?" ”
Meng Zan said with a smile: "Mr. Nangong, I just saw Miss Nie coming out of the gentleman's room in anger, could it be for the marriage between Kong Dujun and Princess Xixi?" ”
Nangong Wang said coldly: "Meng Laosan, this has nothing to do with you, it is about Kong Supervisor and Senior Sister Nie, as a subordinate in the army, you can't talk nonsense!" ”
Meng Zan didn't expect Nangong Wang to be so unkind to him, his face was a little not good-looking, he came to Nangong Wang, originally wanted to count on Nangong Wangnian to say a good word to Kong Sheng in the past, so as to find a way for himself to be promoted. Don't look at his martial arts skills, and he doesn't have any other talents, but his morale is really not low, he is not willing to be an ordinary team leader in the army, and seeing that Tang Genshui has become a captain of Zhiguo, how can he not be red-eyed and hot?
Meng Zan was annoyed in his heart, but he still smiled on the surface: "Yes, yes, Mr. Nangong, Meng Zan has been taught!" ”
Nangong glanced at Meng Zan, and saw his intentions in his heart, but pretended not to understand: "Meng Laosan, the mountain people still have something to do, you can retreat first." ”
Seeing that Nangong looked at the order to expel the guest, Meng Zan hurriedly said: "Mr. Nangong, you are now the prime minister of Xia Yi's military and political affairs, and you have won the trust of Kong Dujun, for us brothers who followed Mr. from Hongze, you have to give more support!" ”
Nangong looked like he was smiling, and his voice was low: "Meng Laosan, it's not strange that you are self-motivated, and it's normal." The Shanren believe that as long as you fight bravely to kill the enemy in the future and make meritorious achievements, Kong Overseer will not be stingy with a letter of appointment from Captain Zhiguo. Go back and put your mind to the right path, and don't waste your time on these crooked ways! (To be continued.) )
