Chapter Seventy-Eight

【Prince】

I don't know what kind of gaze I was staring at the woman who suddenly appeared in front of the temple. I used to think that she was the most hated person in my life, I even thought that she was just a stunner who flattered all beings, a daji who brought disaster to the country and the people, and a demon girl who only wanted to sing with the king at night, but I didn't know that she would have such courage, standing so quietly in the hall where there was still a strong smell of blood inside and out, even though her pale face exposed her fearful feelings, but she still stood in front of her like a small poplar standing in the wind, as if she could not see the surprise in my eyes, I couldn't see the shock in the eyes of the people on the high platform.

"Rou'er" thousands of words, as if the dry voice was blocked in his throat, squeezed out of the mouth of the brother who loved him since he was a child, but it only made his mood more pleasant. It can be seen that his brother is very attentive to this woman, not so much caring as a kind of love, so the injury he suffered this time will be more serious and unforgettable, right? I couldn't help but smile coldly. What did he do to Rong'er at that time, then I will return it to him twice as much now.

The ministers, who barely made a sound, got up from the ground one after another, and tried to squeeze into his brother's camp, as if this would give him some security. I sneered, for these people who had been separated from him before, would my brother feel at ease to let them stand behind him? Almost instantly, the swords drawn by those guards were placed on the necks of these abnormal people, and before they could make any more movements, the attendants beside the emperor shouted in a low voice: "Don't move!" ”

I almost laughed when I saw this scene, sure enough, the people who coerced and lured me to buy me were really unreliable, and when I saw my brother's guards gaining the upper hand in the temple, I hurriedly wanted to throw myself over, if all my men were standing in this hall, maybe they would also crawl over and lick my toes like dogs. Hmph, I snorted disdainfully, these people are really not big people, such a guy at both ends of the rat head will definitely not be entrusted with a heavy task even if he gets to his brother's side. What kind of person is my brother, what he hates most in his life are those villains who eat inside and out. Although I can't look down on these people, but from the king's point of view, his courtiers are all unreliable wall grass, and the blow is naturally not small, anyway, I still won a game against him, although at this time I had time to put my eyes on the face of the woman who suddenly appeared in front of me, looking at her pitiful look, I really don't know how she had so much courage to run in front of me just now.

The personal general who had been guarding me looked preoccupied, and seemed to be worried about our siege. After a while, the expression on his face became more and more solemn, and he squeezed past me and said in a low voice: "This place is not suitable for a long time, Your Highness is better to leave early, wait for us to protect you and leave first, after I break it, as long as you rush to the outside of the palace, it will be our people."

Looking at the general with an anxious look in his eyes, I almost burst out laughing, and I didn't even put down the teacup I picked up from the desk, although it was inconvenient to scold him for his loyalty, but I still wanted to knock him with something: "Do you think that just a few of us can rush over - even if we can rush over, we can walk?" Aren't you dizzy right now, if you plan so well, you can make your opponent rush over with such a swagger? You don't know the little tricks of the Gallic king, how many of his secret tricks do you know? Let me tell you, the real reason why we can stand here safely now is that he doesn't want to tear his face with me, otherwise we would have cut ten lives! Although it looks very dangerous here, in fact I am still safe because I am trading with him, but when you walk outside the door, you can't tell, there is a battlefield outside, and it is much easier to kill a person in the chaos than you think. Besides, if he really went out, he would definitely guess that we were going to storm the palace and force him to abdicate next, so you say, would he still want us to walk out of the door of this hall? ”

Looking at the general's cold sweat, I couldn't bear to scare him anymore, it was necessary to give them proper suppression at such a time, but if I scared too much and made my people panic, it would be more than worth the loss. The head of the official just now is an example, but he is the king, and it is nothing for an emperor to kill a person casually, but if he is a courtier, even if he is the most favored courtier, even if he is the emperor's younger brother, even if he is the same high and powerful person and above ten thousand people, he must be regarded as a thorn in the side of the emperor. It is the emperor's prerogative to kill people, and if he did the same thing himself, my brother might not have shown anything at the time, but in the end, he must also count this account on my head, so I will be the one who suffers. was originally a coercion and lure of the people, if I put on a fierce look now, I guess they won't be in such a good mood to accompany me to finish this play, right?

Looking at the head of the military general rolling in the corner, if you recognize it well, it should be the person of General Wuwei, that general has always eaten soft rather than hard, and even when the first emperor was there, he had to give him three points of thin noodles. He was originally a mixed-race child, full of muscles like iron, and he already had a good martial arts, when the first emperor traveled he didn't know how, he fixed his eyes on the skinny little beggar who beat the other party's children to the head for a steamed bun, and after walking to the person who was still holding a piece of steamed buns with a little mildew and gnawing on it, he didn't say anything but threw down a piece of silver. I thought that the little child would see Qian Yankai and grab the big piece of silver and not let go, but I didn't expect that the child would pull his robe tightly and not let go, and he didn't even look at the silver under his feet, so he had to follow him, and the little beggar said that he was willing to be a little follower. Later, the first emperor fought horses for half his life, and there were many more people who fought on the battlefield than those who stayed in the palace, and the little guy who was originally just leading the horse next to him also rushed in with a knife at some point, with a scar and a body of martial arts, which was practiced in this way. Although he is still called General Wuwei according to the custom of the Han people, he is no longer in the court, but this person still has a generous power in the court, not only himself, but also the account of the king of Gaul does not buy, and he has always been a big head, but even so I understand that the relationship between the general Wuwei and the king of Gaul is much closer than mine, and his son is also married to the daughter of the king of Gaul. I sneered, I couldn't find a chance to get that stupid hat general to fight with the king of Gaul, and now it seems that I don't need to think about it so much.

Aside from this mood-pumping episode, it was only a little unexpected to me. Looking at the woman opposite who didn't apply powder, the slight hair hanging down from her forehead was messy, the cheeks that were slightly red not only because she was afraid but also because she was in a hurry, the quick breath that seemed to make people worry about whether she would fall down in the next moment, and those piercing eyes, the only difference from just now was that there was no fear at all in her eyes now, but there was a little more determination like a soldier who was about to go to battle. Has she already made up her mind to go with me? Didn't the man who broke Rong'er's heart mention even the slightest thing about what he had done to her? I laughed, if I were him, in the face of such a delicate woman who couldn't seem to stand any stimulation, probably wouldn't have opened his mouth to mention the things he didn't want to remember in the past, right? For some reason, I felt the slightest pity for someone who seemed to be a blank slate.

Do I really want to be like my brother did to Rong'er, put her under house arrest in a place where she can't see the sun, and then wait for the bouquet of flowers to wither helplessly, and finally fall into mud? Is this what I want, to keep her as a trophy, to show it to the king of Gaul when necessary, to enjoy the pleasure of revenge on him? I probably will, maybe, I will. It's not why, it's just because of the woman in my heart who shouldn't have suffered so much.

Rong'er, I will ascend to that supreme position, and then personally go to pick you up, and we will never be separated again.

Rong'er, wait for me-

Divider-

Just like the unwillingness on his face when he played chess with him for the last time, this bet, in the end, I won. I have won the submissive promises of the ministers, I have won the secret promise of the general Wuwei who has been hiding in the shadows and indulging everything, and the most painful thing for him and the happiest for me is that I have won the woman he loves the most, the woman who belongs to him.

Since marrying Rong'er, he has been calm and calm, he probably still thinks that Rong'er is an assassin sent to him by the Mastiff King, he probably still thinks that Rong'er is just an assassin who failed to assassinate and has to commit to marrying him, he probably still thinks that Rong'er will wake up one day with a knife and stick it into his heart. He probably hated Rong'er's identity, maybe he wouldn't do this to her if she was just an ordinary person. It's a pity that she is the daughter of the Mastiff King, a brilliant princess. Probably he was worried that she was too smart, but he never knew one thing, that smart princess had always loved him deeply.

I made a bet with him with my surname, I bet that he won't tear his face to me now, I bet that he doesn't dare to clash with me head-on now, I bet that he will definitely focus on the overall situation and state affairs now, and I bet that he will abandon anyone for that position, even the concubine he loves the most.

But I was wrong, I saw that he would not turn against me in such a situation of internal and external troubles, I saw that he would not quarrel with me again when this kind of profit was for others, I saw that he would take Gallic as the priority, but I did not expect that when that woman appeared in front of me, the expression of pain on his face, although I knew the place of that woman in his heart, I did not expect him to care so much about her.

I can still remember the shock, the pain and disbelief on the face of the man whom he called Concubine Rou when he personally agreed to go with me, and I can still remember the consternation and anger at the sight of the determination in the woman's eyes, the anger that was completely different from the personable brother I had seen in the court. I knew he liked this woman, and I knew he had always treated her like a queen, but I didn't know that he wouldn't even want the chair under him, just for this woman!

Hundreds of swords-wielding guards surrounded me, as if the superior would chop me and my henchmen to pulp me and my henchmen at the slightest command. Outside the door, there was still a noise, the sound of swords that could not be distinguished, and the neighing of the war horses continued like an unfinished piece of music, but it was already heard more clearly. For a while, I was confused as to what to do, whether to rush out and gather men and horses to capture the palace, or to calmly wait for him until the moment of compromise.

Although I was unusually calm on the surface, I almost laughed in my heart, and I would have hesitated for a day after so long on the battlefield. I don't dare say that I don't have the intention of replacing it, at least it was a very big temptation for me.

But her appearance forced me to stop the little delusions in my mind. My strength is not enough to compete with the entire court, among the Gauls who are deeply influenced by the Great Zhou, there is also a saying that it is not justifiable, if I ascend to the throne like this, that Wuwei general will definitely be the first to disobey me, and not only Wuwei general, probably those old ministers who regard themselves as loyal ministers will not sincerely do things for themselves, in case they are superficially obedient and secretly have ghosts and tigers in their hearts, then they will really be difficult to ride a tiger at that time. I don't know what that woman came to me with, I'm not sure she's really the weak woman she once had a relationship with, I don't know if she's willing to come to me with the idea of being false with me, I don't know if she's willing to be a spy for that man to come to me, even if she knows she's risking her life, she won't take a step back. I don't know if she loves that man as much as Rong'er. Maybe she didn't love that man, my brother, but the supreme king of the whole country of Gaul, or maybe she was just willing to bear children for her husband like an ordinary woman, take care of the housework, and not be interested in the intrigues of the court, but no matter what she thought in her heart, no matter what she was thinking in her heart, now, she stood in front of me with a slight smile on her face, and she didn't see the slightest fear, at least, on the surface.

There was a slight smell of rust in the air, and the smell of blood was familiar to me. Ever since Rong'er married him, I have been associated with this smell, in the mountains, in the plains, in the wind, in the rain, in the red sunshine of the morning sun, behind the orange sunset. At first, I even hated the smell, a smell that can only be smelled when people die, but as I got used to it, I gradually liked it. Because I know that I can only keep her by my side when I continue to make military achievements, gain a firm foothold in the court, and accumulate strength enough to compete with my brother in the world. Even though I knew it was the smell of blood, even though I knew what it meant, as long as I could be with Rong'er, I didn't care......

But the woman in front of me stood there as if unconsciously, gulping in the air with a faint smell of rust, I couldn't help but look at her twice, but found that she was not used to it at all, but was breathing with the nausea in her heart, although she tried to pretend to be calm, but looking at her more and more rapid exhalation, and her face that turned pale when her eyes touched the bloody head, I thought, she probably won't last long.

Sure enough, under my faint smiling gaze, her face turned from white to red, as if she was about to say something, but she could only open her mouth, and before she could say a word, she suddenly bent down, or a general was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously deflected the blade, she would probably have hit the blade long ago.

"Rou'er!" The people in the highest position shouted out heartbreakingly, and the few old ministers who were guarding him by his side couldn't hold him anymore, and were pushed away by the person who had never been so embarrassed as today, and was about to rush over but was hugged by several guards in front of the palace. I looked at my brother's hideous, distorted face, walked slowly to the woman with a painful face but couldn't vomit anything, and smiled, "Are you really willing to come with me?" ”

She didn't seem to have the strength to speak anymore, but there was no flicker in her eyes staring at me, as if there was nothing as stubborn as she could succumb. I raised the corners of my mouth, could it be that this woman has such hard bones, it seems that there will be a good show in the future.

The man who was behind the guards choked and screamed, and almost at the same time, the loud sound of breaking the door completely drowned out the sound of fighting in the courtyard, and the soldiers with spears silently pressed the brightly uniformed guards aside, and the archers behind silently put the bright arrows on the string. It took almost no reading to know that the matter was a foregone conclusion, and that the king of Gaul was powerless.

I sneered in my heart, it turned out that it was so simple to make that person submit, it turned out that it was so simple to make that person submit!

"You're going to let him go, right?" A person's shadow suddenly blocked in front of me, like a praying mantis trying to block the wheels, no, she is not even as good as a praying mantis, even a praying mantis will capture its prey, but she has probably never hurt anyone because of herself, even a person of humble status. At that moment, looking at the cold and ruthless face reflected in her eyes, I hesitated, could it be that all I did was to hurt another woman who was equally weak and pitiful under the pretext of protecting a weak woman?

Then what is the difference between me and my brother?

Finally, I took a deep look at the face of the concubine, I waved my hand silently, and the soldiers with cold faces took half a step back in unison, and no longer looked at the extremely ugly face of the tall man, I smiled and knelt on the ground, "Thank you for your reward."
