Rejected continuously, Zhou Meng was very dissatisfied, and the officials sitting on both sides who were familiar with Zhou Meng had already discovered that their county king was on the verge of anger.

Zhou Meng is the best in Xiyue, especially in terms of women, all the women in Xiyue will not resist becoming his woman.

But Qin Yining here made him deflated repeatedly, which really made him very depressed.

The original gentleness and pettiness also lost patience because he couldn't coax people smoothly. At this time, Zhou Meng was the domineering one who gave orders.

"If you don't want to eat, don't eat. But there is one thing that the king needs to explain to you before the ministers that he has invited you to this dinner. ”

Zhou Meng's words fell, and the hall became quiet. The families of the courtiers were even more knowledgeable, and only Zhou Meng and a dozen Xiyue officials were left in the house, plus Qin Yining and the three people she brought. And the more than 20 soldiers brought by Zhou Meng were still holding the handle of the knife, and surrounded Qin Yining in a semi-encircled shape, and there was a faint tendency to attack.

Qin Yining's bright eyes turned to see the left and right forms, and he smiled and said, "The king of the county, please speak." ”

Zhou Meng didn't sell it, and said bluntly: "Your arrival is indeed the same as described in the holy book of the Xiyue Sect that we believe in, so everyone believes that you are a goddess who can bring food and a good harvest." This king does not deny this statement, but it is true that you and your people have to step into the great desert of no man's land for some reason, which is a fact that no wise person can refute, right? ”

Qin Yining chuckled lightly and said, "Whatever the county king wants to say, just say it." ”

Zhou Meng said: "Okay, then the king will tell you directly." We have been here for more than 100 years, and we have been worried that the resources on this oasis are limited, and sooner or later we will run out of food, so we have been exploring the way out. We haven't found our way in the past hundred years, so why didn't you come? So if I say something that I shouldn't say, you and your people will probably have to stay here for the rest of your life. ”

Qin Yining's heart jumped violently.

In fact, Zhou Meng said the truth. From the moment she was forced into no man's land by the Tatar pursuers, she already knew that she might not be able to get out. If I want to see my family again, I'm afraid it will be impossible in this life. But although I knew in my heart, it was one thing for this to be said to my face.

Qin Yining has been numbing herself these days, since she woke up in a coma, she has forced herself not to think about these things, she has forced herself to get by, and the past day is counted as a day.

But when Zhou Meng ruthlessly revealed this simple truth, the despair that had been hidden by Qin Yining still poured out uncontrollably, as if her body was suddenly thrown into the icy seawater, and the cold and suffocation around her made her hate to die altogether.

Qin Yining's heart was intensely sad and desperate, but she couldn't show it at this time, and she would never give people any opportunity to negotiate with her.

Qin Yining smiled lightly: "The analysis of the county king is just one side. What you can't do, we may not be able to do. ”

Zhou Meng laughed sarcastically, "Don't force your composure." No one is stupid here, you can't get out of this desert! ”

Standing up, Zhou Meng stepped down the steps in a few steps, turned around suddenly, the wide hem of his clothes was driven by his movements and unfolded behind him, he opened his arms and said excitedly: "You said you can get out of the desert?" If you really can, how can you come here aimlessly? I'm telling you! That no-man's land takes at least a dozen lives of our Xiyue people every year! Those who escaped by luck once said that the desert terrain outside is changing rapidly, and one moment it is still a flat place, and the next moment it may not be blown out of a sand dune!

"And the environment there is extremely harsh, there are sandstorms at every turn, and you can't see the color of the sky and the sun clearly! It is possible to close your eyes blown by the wind and sand, and when you open your eyes again, you can't tell which direction you are coming from, and you are completely lost!

"There is no food, no drink, the environment is harsh, you can't tell the direction, you walk aimlessly on the desert, aren't you afraid? You've been through once, you've lost half your life, and now you still have the courage to brag about being able to leave the desert, I really admire you! Ha ha! ”

Zhou Meng laughed out loud at the end.

Zhou Meng's words, everyone present heard clearly, except for Su Rina and Ulan, who couldn't understand what he said, everyone was solemn, especially Uncle Arhan, who was a person who had personally experienced that desert, so he naturally knew that what Zhou Meng said was the truth.

Qin Yining's face did not change, but the hands hidden under the cloak were tightly clenched into fists, and the nails pinched out a few white crescents in the palms of his hands.

It is precisely because Zhou Meng is telling the truth that she feels that every word is rooted in her heart. She said that she was able to leave the desert, which was indeed bragging and encouraging herself.

She didn't believe that she would be completely separated from her parents and family, and she would stay in this oasis for the rest of her life to live an isolated life.

Zhou Meng saw that Qin Yining's expression was still indifferent, as if he was unmoved, and immediately said, "You are your patriarch." You are responsible for the lives of your people, right? Since you can't get out anymore and are destined to live here for the rest of your life, why don't you consider my proposal last time?

"The best fusion of two peoples is marriage. If you want my people to accept your people and let them share the resources of this oasis, we will marry first, which is the only way. You don't care about the lives of your people for your own selfishness, do you? ”

As he spoke, Zhou Meng suddenly glanced at the soldiers behind Qin Yining.

The twenty or so people immediately drew their swords and made a gesture of preparing for an attack.

Ulan and Su Rina exclaimed in fright, blocking Qin Yining, and Uncle Arhan even put on a posture, ready to grab a weapon and come over.

- As soon as he entered the palace, his weapon was stolen.

"You'd better promise me now. Otherwise, my soldiers will level your people's camp, and the three people around you will become the ghosts of the sword. Zhou Meng stood with his hands in his hands and looked at Qin Yining proudly.

The cold light was beside him, and Qin Yining looked at Zhou Meng, who was already in a state of madness, and his heart calmed down.

"What does the king mean, let me marry you?" Her voice was gentle and calm, and it seemed out of place with the tense atmosphere in the hall.

Zhou Meng's face was overjoyed, and he nodded: "That's exactly what it means." You marry me and become my princess, and your people and my people intermarry each other, and then our two tribes merge into one, and multiply together in this oasis, and find a way out together. In this way, we no longer have to be suspicious of each other, and all resources can be shared. Even if we can't leave here, wouldn't it be better if you brought enough food and seeds for us to cultivate here and be self-sufficient? ”

If Qin Yining is not married and has no cowardice in her heart, such an arrangement is indeed a way to maximize her interests, because in the past, she has always felt that marriage has been the order of her parents since ancient times, and there are many women who don't know whether they are married to a talented or stupid woman before marriage, and if they are unlucky to marry a bad person, they can only consider themselves unlucky. So she doesn't care who she marries.

But the problem is that she now has a place in her heart. If a good woman doesn't serve her second husband, how can she marry someone else?

Qin Yining didn't answer immediately, but asked rhetorically: "What the county king said is certainly reasonable. But you already have four princesses. According to the holy book of your Xiyue Sect, the goddess will definitely be the princess of the county king, which should refer to the concubine's main room, right? ”

Seeing that she was relieved, Zhou Meng immediately said happily: "This is easy!" If you will marry me, I will not want any of the four women and the rest of the concubines, and I will drive them all away. ”

As soon as these words came out, all the officials in the hall took a breath of cool air.

I can't imagine that the king of the county has invested so much for a woman! It's time to dismiss the harem!

Qin Yining looked at Zhou Meng's burning eyes full of desire, goosebumps for a while, and he endured it so that he didn't show his boredom.

Seeing that Qin Yining was silent, Zhou Meng suddenly sneered.

"You can say no. Tell you the truth. Around your people's camp, this king has already set up an ambush, and has prepared a lot of oil ready to burn everything! Otherwise, why do you think the king would have placed them in the most remote place?

"If you say yes, that's it. If you refuse, this king will immediately pay off your people at any cost, I have never been angry in my life, and I will definitely be able to get everything I want! No, for the sake of you as a woman, I would rather not have your grain and grass, I would rather be when you never appeared! ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Meng stepped forward a few steps, supported the desk in front of Qin Yining with both hands, leaned over to her and said, "If you don't believe it, you can try!" ”

The swords in the hands of the soldiers behind Qin Yining were also handed forward again, almost poking the bodies of Wulan and Su Rina.

Uncle Arhan was rushed out in a cold sweat and said angrily: "You are simply too deceitful! I've never seen such a shameless forced marriage! ”

"You'd better keep your mouth clean! All of you have your lives in my hands! ”

Uncle Arhan was about to speak, but was stopped by Qin Yining.

She is calmly analyzing the current situation.

Zhou Meng is angry, his behavior is perverse and domineering, and he is used to being pampered, and he has grown up smoothly. Such a person is the most self-centered, and it can be seen from the two days of getting along that he is really the kind of person who does not care about the overall situation at all for the sake of being willful for a while.

In other words, he may really order someone to burn the grain and grass in order to get her. Because even if the people are suffering, he is still high up as the king of the county and lives a good life, so he will not care about the life and death of others.
