Chapter 391: Lush Reeds (Part II)
Chu and Song are adjacent, although they have been friends for a hundred years, but it is the first time that the two kings have met.
Ling Fei entrusted Xiao En to his cousin Ling Zi in another canopy boat, and returned to the boat where Liu Jing, the king of Song, was.
Lin Ying, the king of Chu, said to Ling Fei: "Lord Ling knows that I am an ordinary person who does not understand martial arts, and I can't compare to your unparalleled King Song, how can I come uninvited?" ”
Ling Fei looked at the boatman who sent the King of Chu here and said, "Although the King of Chu doesn't know martial arts, the boatman who came with you must be good at martial arts. Ling is our Royal Highness's personal bodyguard, and he should do his duty. ”
Lin Ying smiled and said nothing, only listening to Liu Jing: "This is the ship of my Song Kingdom, uninvited, it should be the king of Chu." ”
The corners of Lin Ying's mouth curled: "According to what you say, this is the territory of my Chu State, and it should be you, King Song, who came uninvited." ”
Liu Jing saw that Lin Ying liked to rap and bicker as she did back then, but she gave birth to a sense of familiarity in vain, which made him a little sad. At the beginning of that year, I met the Pingliang Chamber of Commerce in Zhao State, and two teenagers pretending to be cloth clothes drank wine and fought the piano in the garden of Zhao Palace...... At that time, Liu Jing admired the talents of Shu'er and Lin Ying, and wanted to recruit them to serve the Song Kingdom, but he didn't expect that today, they would meet again in the reeds of the Song and Chu armies, with the most noble identity and the most difficult misunderstanding.
Liu Jing swept away the cold expression above the thousands of people in the past, and sighed with low eyebrows: "I'm here to see Shu'er." What are you here to do? You know, I won't hurt their mother and daughter. ”
Lin Ying raised her eyebrows: "You really won't hurt the two of them immediately, because in the next step, you will take them hostage and ask me and Gongzi to release nearly a thousand Song army captives in Anyi City." In this way, in the eyes of the Song people, you will become an impeccable Song king who sacrifices his personal feelings and is righteous. In the eyes of the world, you are even more radiant. You will be the only one who will rule the nations. You say I'm not invited, but what are you here for? ”
Liu Jing said disdainfully: "What are nearly a thousand Song soldiers? What is the world? What is it to rule the nations? If I really think about that, how would I venture here? ”
Lin Ying smiled: "Since you said so, then I will go back and order to kill the Song army prisoners in Anyi City, they are dead, and I will let Shu'er come to see you again." ”
Liu Jing looked directly at Lin Ying: "You won't." ”
Lin Ying said: "I won't do anything? Won't you kill the captives, or won't you let Shu'er come to see you? ”
Liu Jing said: "You won't kill the captive, so you won't let me see Shu'er after killing the captive." Although I don't know how much weight the matter of unifying the nations has in your heart, and I don't know whether being a satisfactory king of Chu is important to you, I know that you will not detain the state of Chu with such a charge as the indiscriminate killing of unarmed prisoners of war, which can never be cleared away.
I just want to see Shu'er on this trip, and I have some words to say to her personally. I don't know how many of the letters I wrote to her, and how many you have read, and I don't want to pursue them. Since I came to Linjiang before I risked my death, I always have my sincerity. If you still don't believe it, it's a big deal, I gave you an edict to give you the few Song cities that Gongzi wanted to take. ”
Lin Ying shook her head: "The hands of people are short, and the mouth of eating people is soft." Childe's exploits were not exchanged for his sister. Also, I'm the dignified King of Chu, why bother to read other people's private messages? Even if you write me a letter of state, I won't necessarily open it. Not to mention your dirty thoughts? Aren't you afraid of staining my eyes? ”
Ling Fei said angrily: "How can the King of Chu speak as rudely as a street boy? ”
Lin Ying didn't even look at Ling Fei: "Since you King Song have a request for me, I can talk to him as much as I like." Even if I'm a street boy, he has to listen to me. ”
Liu Jing looked at Lin Ying silently, and sighed in his heart, the market guy still has a name and origin, and who am I, I am afraid it will be difficult to get an answer in this life, compared with Lin Ying, who has a prominent background, I am a nobody. He had never put Lin Ying in his eyes before, but at this time, he was a little in awe of the King of Chu in front of him, not only because he had a request for the King of Chu, nor just because of the status of the King of Chu. Thinking about this kind of awe, it is more because of the fearless awe-inspiring spirit between Lin Ying's eyebrows, even with a smile, with mockery, with disdain for the King of Song and the entire Song Kingdom, as if the King of Chu already knew that he was a fake Song King, a person who was so humble that he didn't even have a family name.
Seeing that Liu Jing was uncharacteristically silent, Ling Fei immediately drew his sword out of its sheath and said to Lin Ying: "Since you are rude, don't blame me for hurting you with my sword!" ”
Lin Yingli also ignored Ling Fei, looked at Liu Jing with a smile, and said, "You won't hurt me." Will the same mistake, as clever as you, make it a second time? What's more, this time, you have been trapped in the layers of the Chu army. ”
Liu Jing strode in front of Ling Fei, looking gloomily at the red glow that lit the reeds.
He really didn't dare to hurt Lin Ying. Before this trip, he really just wanted to see Shu'er and talk to her from the heart.
He knew that the person who grew up with Shu'er was not himself, but Lin Ying. It was Lin Ying who accompanied Shu'er all the way from Chu to Chen, and accompanied Shu'er to make a living in Chen. Shu'er was a widow for Zhuge calmly, and it was Lin Ying who had always accompanied her, arranging a seemingly well-known but safest place for her to live in Chu State, because Lin Ying was by her side.
He knew that Lin Ying was the closest and most trusted person in Shu'er's heart. Therefore, he dared to kill Zhuge Cong, who was brilliant in martial arts, but he did not dare to kill Lin Ying, who was powerless.
He knew that the King of Song who dared to compete with the King of Qi back then no longer wanted to be the King of Song. He gave up his love for the Song Kingdom back then, but now he doesn't care about this chaotic world. If the king of Chu wants it, what if he gives it to the king of Chu? Whether it's a captive or a city, just take everything the king of Chu wants, why bother talking nonsense here?
Liu Jing's tone was indifferent: "The King of Chu came here in danger, if it was just to humiliate me, he could have left." Help me tell Shu'er, I'm waiting for her here, see you or leave. ”
Lin Ying took a step closer, looked directly at Liu Jing and said, "If you really have the sincerity to see Shu'er, why did you kidnap her daughter?" To force each other, is it an invitation or a coercion? Have you really thought about the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of Shu'er? You're just a selfish little bite, what right do you have to get tangled with her?
I just came to tell you personally, return Xiao En, maybe we can still take care of a trace of past friendships, and let you, the rat, get out of the Chu realm as soon as possible. ”
Ling Fei was furious: "You are presumptuous! He immediately drew his sword and pointed at the King of Chu.
Liu Jing reached out and gently grasped Ling Fei's sword body, and sighed, "Xiao En was not kidnapped by me. On the day of Gongzi's wedding banquet, I went into the Chu Palace late at night, in the name of begging for a cup of wine, I just wanted to go to see Shu'er and talk to her. By the time I finally found her place, she was very drunk and unconscious. I sat in Shu'er's house for a long time, and before Shu'er could wake up, Xiao En suddenly woke up and said that she was hungry. All the palace people in the palace have been sweated by me, and no one went to give Xiao Enna food, so I went. She pulled me to talk while eating, I told her that I was the king of Song, she didn't believe it, I had to prove it to her, I took her out of the palace, and promised her that during the Mid-Autumn Festival, our family of three would enjoy the moon and eat together. ”
Lin Ying sneered: "A family of three? Wish for the moon. You killed Xiao En's biological father, and you still delusionally thought that Xiao En would recognize the thief as his father? Shu'er will never forgive you for the rest of her life, and neither will Xiao En. ”
Lin Ying's words, the words pierced the heart, Liu Jing clenched his fists, and Ling Fei's sword blade had been stained with blood in Liu Jing's palm.
Ling Fei said: "Your Highness......" Liu Jing Fang felt a pain in his palm, let go of his hand, and grabbed Lin Ying's ink-colored clothes with his blood-stained hand.
The gold thread of the ink-colored placket was stained with blood.
Liu Jing stared at Lin Ying closely, held back his anger, and said in a low voice: "Don't you think I don't know!" The death of King Qi and King Wei, you are the mastermind! It was you who sent someone to me to offer advice, it was you who sent someone to kill the person who offered the plan, it was you who sent someone to tell King Wei everything, and King Wei learned that King Qi was in the plan, so he gave up his life to save him! You're the one who blames me for everything! ”
Lin Ying was lifted by Liu Jing's clothes, almost tiptoeing to the ground, but suddenly laughed: "Liu Jing, Liu Jing, even if I am well-versed in the past and the present, I have never heard of a king with such a reliant face as you!" The matter of the peerless peak, the battle of the top mountain, not only so many soldiers of the Song Kingdom, the Qi Kingdom, and the Shu Kingdom have seen it for all to see, but even the Rong people outside the Guanwai have seen it with their own eyes! Liu Ying, the king of Qi, and Jiang Ji, the king of Wei, died at whose hands, don't they believe their own eyes, but believe your assumptions without evidence? ”
