Chapter 181: Dirty Deals
"Now, the king's soldiers are also tuned, and the weapons are also made. If the palace wants you to cut it to 50,000, what does the prince think? β
The queen's voice was faint, but there was a little unquestionable.
Cold sweat immediately leaked out of King Ming's vest.
If it weren't for Mingyue's incident, the queen would not have exposed this hand earlier.
Suddenly, King Ming's heart fell into a battle between heaven and man.
Whether to insist on seeking justice for Mingyue, or to take a step back and obey the queen's arrangement.
After a long time, King Ming exhaled a breath and said with some dejection:
"Since the queen has already made a decision, then Xiao Wang will follow what the mother said. It's just that my son can't die in vain. β
This answer was expected by the queen a long time ago.
With a cool smile on the corner of his mouth, he said:
"King Ming can rest assured, this palace will definitely give King Ming an explanation. As for the matter of the soldiers, this palace is a woman's family and does not understand military affairs, so what does King Ming think is good? β
King Ming looked at the queen, no wonder, the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty has been sick for so long, but the Jin Kingdom is still peaceful.
This woman is much stronger than her son.
"This matter is also Xiao Wang's fault. Xiao Wang is willing to cut 50,000 soldiers, and this year's offering will be doubled. I don't know what I think? β
The court to the Jin State actually produced one-third of the annual output of the Western Domain.
used two-thirds of the tax in exchange for 50,000 elite soldiers, in the end, King Ming earned it.
"100,000 elite soldiers? Does King Ming think that my emperor is seriously ill and looks down on our mother and son? β
The queen had a pair of phoenix eyes and looked coldly at King Ming in front of her.
Rao is the king of Ming, and he can't help but calm his eyes at her.
The two of them were looking at each other, meeting in the air.
In the end, it was King Ming who was defeated first.
"Then according to the queen's mother, how many soldiers are appropriate?"
The two of them actually bargained, and the queen smiled, picked up the fragrant tea next to her, took a sip and said:
"It is not difficult for King Ming to maintain 100,000 elite soldiers. However, the palace has a requirement, that is, among the 100,000 elite soldiers, there are 30,000, and they must be able to be used by the palace. β
The queen's condition made King Ming's expression change slightly.
"Queen Mother, I'm afraid this matter is a little difficult. The Western Domain is thousands of miles away, and I don't know how to dispatch it? β
The queen looked at King Ming and said slowly:
"This palace will send a general to take over the 30,000 elite soldiers. But don't worry, in normal times, these elite soldiers are still under your control, and they will only be used by me when the palace needs them. β
Unexpectedly, the queen would think of this attention.
King Ming's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
If he doesn't agree, I'm afraid the queen will ask him to disarm immediately.
But if he agreed, the person the queen planted would be a knife in his heart.
100,000 elite soldiers, that's the elite of the elite.
Although he could also find a way to set aside the people sent by the queen, how could the queen not know his thoughts.
I'm afraid that I have already thought of a countermeasure.
On the contrary, it was him, who obviously came to Xingshi to ask for guilt, but he didn't expect that he would be so passive now.
"Queen Mother, my son Hu Lunan and Mingyue both died on the land of your Great Jin. Even if I don't want to be a good soldier, I want an explanation. β
After thinking about it, the only way to do it was to use Mingyue and Hu Lunan's affairs to make a deal.
"This matter is very important, and this palace feels that if the prince insists on doing so, this palace also feels a little embarrassed. In this way, the prince will cut off 20,000 elite soldiers, and the palace will not be investigated. β
As soon as the words came out, King Ming felt that he had been deceived.
In fact, the queen didn't intend to have his elite soldiers at all.
It's just that I want him to take the initiative to put forward the conditions, and then the queen will get off the donkey.
The lives of a pair of sons and daughters were exchanged for 30,000 soldiers.
King Ming felt that this deal was a good deal.
"Okay, according to the queen's wishes. It's just that Xiao Wang wants to get back an explanation for his children no matter what, and I also ask the queen to give Xiao Wang an explanation as soon as possible, Abei, let's go. β
The goal is achieved, and the deal is over.
King Ming also felt that it would be useless to stay any longer.
With his son, he was ready to leave.
"Walk slowly, don't send."
The queen was already noble and elegant, and there was no trace of emotion on her face.
Seeing the departure of the Hu family's father and son, the queen's raised lips finally fell.
The prince looked at his queen mother with some uneasiness, no matter what, this time, he also missed.
The queen mother's most hated person is an incompetent person.
He has already missed again and again, and besides, this time there is the acquiescence of the queen.
It's still a failure, not to mention, it also disrupts the queen mother's plan.
Because, the queen originally kept it for other purposes.
"It's all the incompetence of the sons, please forgive the queen mother."
Quickly knelt on the ground, and the prince's voice trembled a little.
The queen sat in her place, but her eyes never stayed on the prince's body.
"Alas, get up, I can't blame you for this."
Contrary to the prince's expectations, the queen mother did not get angry.
looked at his queen mother cautiously, fortunately, although his face was unhappy, he was not as cold as ice.
"Do you know why you lost this time?"
The prince thought for a moment and shook his head.
"Because you are not as ruthless as her, if you are asked to deal with Mingyue, can you do this?"
At the mention of Mingyue, the prince felt a burst of nausea.
When the guards carried the body away, he saw only an exposed arm.
The white bones, and the bloody flesh, formed an extremely strange and hideous feeling.
Not only him, but even those who have seen a wide range of knowledge, in the end, can't help but spit out.
It is enough to see the ferocity of the corpse.
"Erchen... Son..."
The queen looked at her son, sighed, and said:
"The way of the emperor, which one is not fought out in the sea of corpses and blood. If you want to win, you have to do whatever it takes, and at this point, the woman of the Lin family is even more powerful than you. β
The queen's words shocked the prince.
Then the heart turned over a monstrous wave.
"The queen mother meansβ"
"If you want to defeat your enemy, it doesn't matter what means you use, the important thing is that you can't set yourself on fire, and second, you have to use everything to achieve your goals."
The queen herself helped her son up.
All along, under her protection, the prince has been invincible in whatever he does.
Therefore, when Lin Mengya, who did not abide by conventional constraints, appeared, the prince panicked.
None of that matters, though.
Now, Lin Mengya ruthlessly killed Mingyue, whatever, she wasn't giving the prince a wake-up call.
It's funny, there are people in front of her, turning clouds and rain.
It seems that she really wants to meet the eldest lady of the Lin family, the princess of King Yu.
"Erchen, I understand."
In the prince's eyes, something finally rolled over.
The queen nodded, and now, whether it is King Ming or Long Tianyu, it is worth her shot.
returned to the mansion, but Lin Mengya fell asleep in the carriage.
Cautiously, holding the woman in his arms, he returned to the Liuxin Courtyard.
"Lord Wang, is the master okay?"
Bai Qi carried the lantern and stood at the door of the Liuxin Courtyard, waiting for Long Tianyu and Lin Mengya.
Bai Su took the first step and went back to inform the people in the Liuxin Courtyard.
The other three girls greeted them early.
"Mengya's hand is injured, you go and prepare some medicine and clean water."
Whispering, Long Tianyu was afraid of waking up the woman in his arms.
The four girls looked at Lin Mengya in his arms with blank eyes, but they could only obediently obey.
carried Lin Mengya into the room and carefully placed her on the bed.
Although she was asleep, the frowning brow from time to time showed that she was still in pain.
"Every time she touches you, nothing good happens."
With a bit of resentment, a voice sounded in the back.
Long Tianyu straightened up, and sure enough, he saw Qinghu with an unhappy face.
swaggered in front of Long Tianyu, holding a lot of small boxes and bottles in his hands.
"Get up, I'm going to drugged the girl. I'm so embarrassed to say that I'm a big man, and I can't even protect a woman. β
The mocking tone made Long Tianyu sink a face.
However, seeing that Qinghu had already been lightly armed and replaced Lin Mengya with injury medicine, he had no choice but to endure it.
"After taking the medicine, get out."
Every other day, he would return to the Qinwu Courtyard at night to report the news about Lin Mengya.
Among them, the most talked about is this dead fox.
I don't know what Meng Ya thinks, but in the future, she is very close to this dead fox.
Although he knew that these two people were innocent, Long Tianyu's heart was very uncomfortable.
It's like your most cherished treasure is coveted.
But somehow, this guy won Lin Mengya's trust.
If it were an ordinary person, he would have killed someone a long time ago.
Save it, it's an eyesore here.
"Sister, sister, are you okay!"
Before Qinghu could finish the medicine, Lin Zhongyu's anxious voice sounded again.
The two who were guarding in front of the bed put their index fingers to their lips very tacitly, signaling Lin Zhongyu not to wake up Lin Mengya.
Lin Zhongyu immediately stopped speaking, but like Qinghu, he took out a bunch of small boxes and bottles from his arms.
"This is a healing elixir, put it on my sister, she will be fine soon."
Qinghu raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect Lin Zhongyu to be so generous.
These are all high-quality goods, and some of them are secret medicines that are easy to find.
Unceremoniously took the best of it, gently, and poured it on the hideous wound.
"Shhh
Distress and anger were intertwined in Lin Zhongyu's black eyes.
He has been practicing martial arts with those people for half a year, and he has made rapid progress, and he has gradually learned to be steady and self-controlled.
Unexpectedly, when he saw Lin Mengya's deep wounds, he felt that he couldn't control his emotions.
