Chapter 181: Prisoner of the Order
After all, Queen Mingjing represents the interests of both countries, and if she dies in a natural disaster like this, Kochi Khan will have to wonder if his country is cursed. So when Queen Mingjing came back, the country was also a scene of singing and dancing.
However, not being held accountable does not mean that Kochi Khan has forgotten about it. Since Queen Mingjing or the Imperial Dragon all tried their best to avoid talking about this matter, Kochi Khan was even more concerned.
On the surface, the pressure on Kochi Khan did not subside, and as time passed, the time to marry Queen Mingjing was approaching, and his mood became more and more irritable.
And in the end, Kochi Khan finally found an outlet. During the dinner that day, Kochi Khan made a suggestion to Queen Minjing - would he let the dragon challenge one of their country's folk customs?
Queen Mingjing was very tight and did not agree immediately, but when Kochi Khan brought up this topic, he didn't think about leaving a way out for the other party, he was aggressive step by step, and he spoke with a gun and a stick, even outsiders could hear the deep resentment in Kochi Khan's heart.
The atmosphere gradually cooled down, and Koch Khan also subverted the gentle image of the past, and threw out a sentence that could hardly be refused.
He said that this folk custom of their country, as long as it can be challenged successfully, means to bring supreme holiness, since the dragon is the personal protection of Queen Myeongjing, why not offer such a blessing to her before her wedding day?
After Kochi Khan said this, Queen Ming Jing looked at her fiancé for a long time, and then whispered, Kochi Khan, do you think I need to use this blessing to prove my holiness?
Kochi Khan just smiled, looked at the eyes of Queen Mingjing Pinggu Wubo, and said, Isn't it necessary?
He seemed to be asking rhetorically, but I seemed to hear Koch Khan's heart, as if he was telling the queen a sentence - whether you are good, I am good, and he is not a fool, so don't deceive yourself.
There is always someone, there is a price to pay for it, nothing happens, marrying you like an uninformed fool, it is impossible for me.
After Kochi Khan threw out a rhetorical question, the whole scene of the dinner was silent, and as far as the eye could see, only Kochi Khan himself maintained an elegant smile, obviously the one who caused the commotion, but now he was also the most calm.
However, it also shows how long Kochi Khan has been troubled by the affairs of Queen Ming and the dragon. I can understand this feeling, although the position is different, but if I am Kochi Khan, in fact, I will have some pimples in my heart.
However, this guy's heart is too small. He was familiar with the relationship between Queen Mingjing and the Imperial Dragon, and he knew them for an old time. On the other hand, this actually shows that Kochi Khan knew the character of Queen Ming Jing and the humanity of the dragon.
But he still pretended not to know, and wanted to set a trap for the dragon to jump in, this kind of thing, just listening to it, it seems that there are two choices, one is to accept the proposal, and the other is to refuse.
But in reality? In fact, there is only one choice - in the end, if Queen Mingjing does not want to completely cut off the marriage of Kochi Khan's country from now on, and then oppose each other, she must make a compromise.
What's even more helpless is that the more hesitant you are at this time, the more you show resistance or anger, the more it will make Queen Mingjing fall into passivity. Because in fact, about himself and the dragon, Kochi Khan is not thinking about it alone.
There are countless pairs of eyes around him staring at him tightly, and if he doesn't handle it well here, he may fall into the name of a "slut", and maybe he will be immersed in a pig cage.
However, Queen Mingjing saw everything very thoroughly in her mind, but she was not able to give the answer that Kochi Khan wanted in the first time, and it was precisely because of this that Kochi Khan's face gradually became gloomy.
However, no one expected that in the next moment, Yulong took the initiative to stand up, walked in front of Kochi Khan, knelt down on one knee in front of him, and said in a deep voice that although he didn't know what the folk custom was, he was willing to fight everything to complete the task.
Kochi Khan looked at the dragon with his head hanging deeply, and asked only one question—did you do this to send a holy message to Queen Mingjing? The dragon slowly raised his head, and after looking at Kochi Khan for a long time, he slowly nodded.
That's it, the dragon said, he decided to accept the challenge because he wanted to send a holy blessing to Queen Myeongjing. This so-called folk tradition may not be clear to the dragon, but Kochi Khan and Queen Mingjing are both very clear, and their expressions are also distinctive.
After Kochi Khan got the satisfactory answer he wanted, his smile at the dragon was also much softer, just like spring. But Queen Mingjing has always had a black face, and she hasn't looked at the dragon from beginning to end.
It wasn't until a long time later that I realized that Kochi Khan was the worst of a terrible guy - less than a month after returning Queen Myeongjeong safely, the dragon was handcuffed and shackled, and lived in an underground cell.
There were only dirty and damp straw shops, but the dragon didn't complain and stayed here, and I was smacking my tongue when I saw it. The dragon clearly saw two or three rats crawling past him, but they didn't move.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will understand that when Kochi Khan explained the folklore activities with the dragon, he was ambiguous, and this was actually deliberate. Even small countries have their own customs, cultures and histories.
The fact that the country of Khan can marry the queen of the Ming Kingdom already speaks for itself. Even if it is only based on the past glory, the national prestige of Kochi Khan was even higher than that of the Ming Kingdom for a time.
In this huge country, find a random folk custom to come out as an event, in short, it will be held lively, this matter is not simple? As long as the king gives the order, it is a matter of minutes.
The loyal courtiers who dreamed of sleeping on Kochi Khan's feet would do it beautifully in order to gain the trust and favor of Kochi Khan, the king of the future country who was about to take office.
And when the time comes...... There's a good pot of dragon to drink. While thinking about this matter, Koch Khan's mental state was also out of a rather bad state. It seems to be a lot better now, but my heart is a little distorted.
Queen Mingjing has a cold personality and is not very willing to take care of herself, Kochi Khan can actually understand it, but what she is doing now makes Kochi Khan feel that it is really too much. To a certain extent, Queen Mingjing has never explained anything to herself about this matter, which is also an important reason for his decision.
Now that it had already begun, Kochi Khan had no intention of stopping. He is also a character who loves to drill the horns, and once things officially begin, whether miserable or not, they must see the result.
It didn't really matter what kind of folklore event the dragon was going to participate in this time - for Kochi Khan, everything was ready. In Kochi Khan's opinion, when the dragon returned alive and with Queen Mingjing, his fate was already sealed.
The "folk activities" that Kochi Khan asked the dragon to participate in were in fact very similar to the gladiatorial arenas that were prevalent in ancient Rome. It's just that in the gladiatorial arena of Kochi Khan, there are not only the most annoying people of the poor and vicious level, but also the terrible beasts caught from the forest.
Although he doesn't know much about the dragon itself, he understands his origins, Kochi Khan. The children of the military general's family must be very skilled, so when preparing for this event specially prepared for the dragon, Kochi Khan also asked them to prepare the most dangerous part possible.
And some of the links seem to be a little too explicit - if anyone comes to watch this "Trapped Beast Fight", they will definitely find that the organizer of this event has a lot of opinions about the dragon.
It seems that Kochi Khan has held such events in the past, and not only Kochi Khan, but even Kochi Khan's father has done the same thing. What his father did at that time, Kochi Khan remembers very clearly - there is a reason why his father put people in prison at that time.
In short, in this "beast cage", there will be no innocent guys, which Kochi Khan can be sure. During the time that the dragon was locked up in the underground cell, Kochi Khan actually waited for Queen Myeongjing to beg for coquettishness with him, hoping to see the dragon side of the incident.
But instead of going in the direction that Kochi Khan had expected, on the contrary, Queen Ming was unwilling to even look at Kochi Khan with her eyes after that. The relationship between the two naturally fell to a freezing point.
In fact, if Kochi Khan thinks about it carefully, he will find that the reason why Queen Mingjing is unhappy is because she is originally this kind of character. However, Kochi Khan's narrow-mindedness prevented him from understanding Queen Minjing's reluctance to show weakness and beg for mercy.
In Kochi Khan's opinion, there can be no innocence between the two of them - however, he is not a child, as long as Queen Mingjing and him are truthfully recruited, and serve himself well from now on, he can completely ignore his past suspicions.
But as the saying goes, one side of the water and soil raises the other side, Queen Mingjing is the way to this hell for me to walk, and the dragon has never been angry once after living in the underground dungeon, he has been very calm.
This made Kochi Khan's heart even worse, so when the day of the dragon's battle came, he deliberately starved the dragon for two days in the first two days. If it is too obvious, it may be discovered, so he also does it covertly, and the meals are provided normally, but the things that are served are rancid.
It would be a good thing if the dragon ate it all, and it was best to pull his pants in front of countless people that day, so that he would feel happy. And if he notices the anomaly and hasn't eaten all the time, he will be in a very bad state on the day of the battle.
On the days of the Dragon's battle, Kochi Khan led one of his loyal retainers to watch the duel, but before Kochi Khan could set out, an unexpected figure stopped him.
Queen Mingjing and Kochi Khan asked if she could go with her. This surprised Kochi Khan - he originally thought that Queen Mingjing must not be willing to see the dragon being brutally abused.
However, Kochi Khan had no reason to refuse, and the carriage carried Queen Mingjing, and the soon-to-be-married couple arrived at the arena soon after. This martial arts arena is usually used for military training, and you can see scarred wooden figures placed on both sides.
When the dragon appeared, there was almost silence on the field, because it was obvious that none of these people knew who the dragon was. But when the dragon's opponent, the fat man with a long hammer and a big beard, stepped out, the audience began to burst into deafening cheers.
However, what happened next was that the overwhelming cheers fell into a dead silence in an instant.
