The Protector looked at Ge Xin, who said goodbye with interest and left through the back door.

Not long after Ge Xin left, King Qi strode in.

Sure enough, after King Qi and the Duke of Protector met each other, King Qi asked the Duke of Protector straight to the point: "What do you think of the Duke of Protector who openly killed the king and rebelled?" ”

Although Hu Clumsy said that the king of Beihu died violently, in the eyes of the nobles of the kings and grandsons of Beihu, the king of Beihu has always been in good health, and the sudden death of this kind of nonsense is a joke in their eyes, and it is a lie told by Hu Clumsy in order to whitewash his crimes.

In fact, it is.

"What the old man can think, what you say is possible." The Protector said unhurriedly.

King Qi was a little anxious when he heard this neutral words, "How can it be possible to be clumsy? Even if the king is infected and dies violently, the heir to the throne should be the crown prince, even if the prince is too young, there are also us royal family members, and it will not be his turn to be the king of Beihu in any case. ”

"The old man is old, and he doesn't want to get involved in these messy things, so you can deal with your entanglements yourself." The Protector simply pushed it away.

"Beihu is in chaos now, you have to mix if you don't want to, you can't watch Beihu fall into the hands of thieves." King Qi saw that the protector deliberately ignored it, so he was anxious.

The Protector shook his head, "I have more than enough heart but not enough strength, I just want to live in peace, this old bone." ”

When King Qi heard this, he became more and more anxious, he got up and paced back and forth, and after repeating it several times, he said to the Lord Protector: "If you help me defeat Hu, you will be the first hero of Beihu, and your children and grandchildren will be able to inherit the title and enjoy peace and glory forever." ”

King Qi promised to protect the country and the public to benefit.

However, such a tempting interest did not impress the Duke of Protector, he has been fighting horses all his life, and he does not value wealth and glory, as for his four grandchildren, he will still live well even if he does not inherit the title, so he just smiled, "The old man is really old, King Qi, please go back." ”

"This matter is indeed too sudden, it is understandable that you can't make a decision for a while, I will leave first, if you make a decision, you can send someone to inform me at any time." King Qi still had to go to meet with other princes, and he didn't want to stay longer, so he wasted useless tongues, so he left this sentence and left.

The Protector sat there, thought about it, and asked his subordinates to call his son Antan.

An Tan is Naren's father, they all say that Lao Tzu is a hero, but An Tan is not, the Protector is majestic all his life, but An Tan is very cowardly, he is timid in doing things, happy to be comfortable, and the two sons are also with Antan, not the material that can become a pillar, but the daughter Naren's temperament follows the Protector, Wild, and Lie, so this granddaughter is the favorite of the Protector.

Naren loves Hu, not only to protect the country, but I am afraid that the entire noble circle of Beihu will know about it, so if Naren can't marry Hu, I'm afraid that no one else will dare to marry her.

Now that Hu Zhuo wants to establish himself as the king, Hu Guo Gong is the force that Hu Zhuo and the nobles of Beihu Wang Sun want to fight for, and Hu Guo Gong has started to think, this time is the best opportunity to coerce Hu Zhuo to marry Naren.

As long as Kuchou marries Naren, then they will be a family, and he can mobilize his army and forces to help Kucho complete the great cause of becoming king.

In this way, killing two birds with one stone, the protector was originally worried that his children and grandchildren would be cowardly and unable to continue the glory of the family, even if he was given the honor of a hereditary title, it might be withdrawn in the future, but once Naren married Hu, it would be different, Naren became the queen, and their children were the future kings of Beihu, and the fate of their entire family was different, which was more tempting than any hereditary title.

To put it bluntly, the hereditary title still has to bend down in front of the emperor, but becoming a royal family is the master.

Huguo is very open-minded, he has been very appreciative of Clumsy, and now Clumsy has set himself up as a king, which makes him even more appreciative, with such a grandson-in-law, his descendants will be roasted, and Huguo Gong feels that he is in the soil and closes his eyes and is at ease.

"The chance to marry Naren to Clumsy has arrived." The Protector said to An Tan.

An Tan has always been obedient to the protector of the country, and he is submissive, but now when he heard this, he also nodded and said yes. But I felt that it was impossible, Naren was not a matter of one or two days to marry Huchuang, and even the marriage of King Beihu was rejected by Huchuang, and now there is any way for Naren to marry Huchuang.

Seeing that An Tan would only say yes, the Protector showed a helpless expression, "You can also talk about your thoughts." ”

"My son doesn't have any ideas, everything is up to Daddy." Antan said.

The Protector knocked the dragon head crutch on the ground, wanting to lose his temper, but he was too lazy to do so, his son has always been like this, he has long been used to it, so why be angry.

"King Beihu died violently, and he said that King Beihu passed the throne to him before he died, and regardless of whether the matter of the dying throne is true or not, anyway, most of today's Beihu is already in the hands of Ku Zhuo." The Protector said to An Tan.

"How did this happen?" An Tan said blankly.

"Don't look at useless flowers and birds every day to waste your will, and spend more time listening to political affairs, otherwise in the future, I will be gone, and this Protectorate Mansion will be swallowed by people." The Lord Protector has some hatred that iron does not become steel.

Be. Antan bowed his head in response.

An Tan is also a little old, and the Protector looked at him with low eyebrows and a pleasant look, and sighed, "Forget it, you can't count on it, if Naren can marry Hu, there will be hope for our family." ”

"Daddy, what are you going to do?" Antan asked.

"Talking to Ku Clumsy, in the past, I only thought that he had no desire and no desire, and people had no desire to be strong, but now that he can kill the king and seize the throne, it shows his desire for power, this is easy to do, as long as he marries Naren, I will help him sit firmly in the position of King Beihu, which is tantamount to a tiger with wings for him, and he has no reason to refuse." The Protector said.

Antan nodded again.

"I'll write a message of worship, and you will send it to someone." The Protector said to An Tan.

Antan still nodded.

The Protector looked at his unassertive son, sighed secretly in his heart, and then went to the desk, dipped his pen and wrote a letter of worship.

**

The next day, the post arrived in the hands of Hu Zhuo, and the Protector hoped that Hu Zhuo could meet him outside the capital of Yuan, and Hu Zhuo thought about it and agreed.

What did the Protector meet with him to discuss? Suddenly thought about it, since the Protector took the initiative to ask for a meeting, it was a good thing to deliberately get closer, this is a good thing, and if the power of the Protector is gathered, those kings and nobles will not be able to do it, and when his 50,000 troops arrive, it will be good to suppress them.

Hu Zhuo quickly replied to the Protector and expressed his willingness to meet.

The agreed time between the two sides was the morning of the next day, and Hu Zhuo led a group of guards out of the city, and when they arrived at the agreed place, the protector had already arrived.

They had seen each other many times in the palace banquets before, and this time they said goodbye to each other very politely.

The Protector looked clumsy, clumsy, sturdy and strong, with his facial features like a carving, and his momentum was extraordinary, even he, an old man, couldn't help but admire it in his heart, let alone a woman with a heart like Naren.

Thinking of this, the Protector smiled, "General Hu really has the appearance of a king. ”

Hearing this, he smiled clumsily, "Thanks to the auspicious words of the Protector of the Country." ”

"I've heard about what happened recently, you only temporarily took over the court of Beihu, and you can't be the real king of Beihu before you ascend the throne."

"When the soothsayer chooses an auspicious day, I will ascend the throne."

"Do you really think you're going to be king so easily? The royals are teaming up to prepare a crusade against you. ”

"If they don't even obey the will of the king, then I won't care about who they are."

The meaning of the clumsy is very clear, if the members of the royal family join forces to fight, he will be strangled and killed, without mercy.

"There are many nobles of the kings and grandsons of Beihu, distributed all over Beihu, and their power is huge, if they unite, do you think you can compete with them?"

Suddenly smiled, "Whether you can or not, you won't know until you have a trick." ”

Seeing that he was not afraid, the Protector said: "I won't tell you anything, King Qi once came to me, hoping that I can join forces with them to crusade against you." ”

"And what did you decide?"

"Doesn't the fact that I am here with you explain my decision?"

Hearing this, he smiled.

"But I have one condition." The protector turned his words and said.

"Speak, please."

"I can mobilize my forces to wish you the throne, but you have to marry Naren and make her the queen of Beihu." The Protector looked at the clumsy with burning eyes.

This condition of the Protector is not surprising, so he smiled, "The Protector is far away from Youzhou City, I'm afraid I don't know many things, I have been married and had children for a long time, so I can't accept this condition." ”

Suddenly said that he married a wife and had children, which made the protector a little surprised, if this was the case, why didn't Naren tell him about it.

"I don't know which daughter the clumsy general married?"

"The daughter of the Shen family, Shen Yuexi."

Oh, it's still that Han woman, the Protector looked at it: "But as far as I know, that Han woman is married to Zhao Zheng, the seventh prince of Southern Xia, how can it be your wife?" ”

"The world is impermanent, going around and around, and Yuexi is now my wife."

The Protector was not in the mood to investigate the matter between Ku Zhuo and Shen Yuexi at this time, it didn't matter, as long as Hu Zhuo could marry Naren, he would have the confidence to get rid of that Han woman and eliminate all the women who stood in Naren's way.

"That's okay, it's natural for a man to have multiple wives, and Naren can be a flat wife with her." The Protector took a step back.

"The Lord Protector probably didn't understand what I meant, I was clumsy that I would only marry one person as a wife in this life, and that person would be Yuexi, and there would be no other women."

Hearing Hu Clumsy say such absolute words, the Protector laughed, "It's really ridiculous, if you become the king, won't you also accept other concubines?" ”

Suddenly looked at the protector and replied quietly: "Yes." ”
