Chapter 58: Choice
On the second day, according to the other party's request, Chu Xuan took dozens of carts of spirit stone elixirs and gold and jade cloths, accompanied by a group of ministers, and came to the place where the Jin soldiers lived outside the city on time.
However, Leng Er and Su Xintang didn't dare to bring them together, but just casually found two beautiful palace maids to accompany him, and lied to Jin Jun that this was his family.
The Jin army was not polite, accepted the gifts sent by Zhou Guo one by one, and then brought everyone to the main hall, saying that they wanted to bow to their commander.
The monarchs and ministers of the Zhou State had no choice but to hang their heads and be at the mercy of others, and followed the other party to the front of the palace.
When I entered the hall, I saw a young man sitting cross-legged on the tiger skin chair in the middle. This young man seems to be a year or two younger than Chu Xuan, wearing the clothes and ornaments of a noble child, born with white skin and dignified appearance. At first glance, it seems that humans and animals are harmless, but if you look closely, you can feel a vicious and ferocious aura from between your eyebrows, which makes people's scalps tingle and shudder.
The young man squinted at the monarch of the Zhou State who was kneeling down beside him, and hummed a few words with his nose: "Which of you is Chu Xuan?"
Chu Xuan hurriedly stood up and said respectfully, "It's down there." ”
The young man stared at him for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking, and suddenly said, "Did you kill a monk from Longyang Palace and Purple Void Temple in Xuanhuang Mountain?"
Hearing this, Chu Xuan was greatly surprised, he didn't know how the other party learned about this, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
"You don't have to worry, this son is not from those two third-rate sects, I just want to confirm your identity. Heh, you are really Chu Xuan, not Chu Xuan. The young man stood up and continued: "There is a woman named Su Xinmo who secretly sent someone to tell my son that the two women who came with you are actually just two palace maids, not your family members, this matter is true, right?" His voice was faint, without a trace of emotion.
Chu Xuan hesitated for a moment and nodded. He couldn't help but feel a burst of resentment at Su Xinmo's viciousness, because she had taken the throne of her husband, and she could even betray her own sister.
The young man sneered a few times and said, "How daring! No one has ever dared to fool me, if it were according to the previous temper of this son, you should be a corpse now." ”
As he spoke, a powerful aura emanated from his body, and everyone who knelt down in His Highness suddenly felt that their chests were stuffy, their breathing was not smooth, and they began to sweat profusely after a while.
Chu Xuan was also surprised, the cultivation of this young man named Xia Xing in front of him far surpassed his own, but he was afraid that he had already reached the Tianyuan Realm, and even passed the Tianyuan Realm. He didn't say anything big, don't say that it was himself, even if his master and old madman were here, I am afraid that he would not be his enemy.
Thinking of this, Chu Xuan immediately knelt down again, pretending to be frightened and said: "This matter is indeed not done right, please forgive me a lot." ”
Although he felt humiliated in his heart, the gap between the two sides was so great that Chu Xuan had to put his posture back and forth, and only hoped that the other party would not embarrass him again.
"Tsk, such a cowardice, am I looking for the wrong person?" Xia Xing smiled faintly, and suddenly said inexplicably, and then said: "I can spare your dog's life, but I heard that Su Xintang, the queen of the Zhou Kingdom, is very beautiful and has the posture of captivating the country and the city, isn't it?"
"Childe is only afraid that he has misbelieved slander, and his humble appearance can only be said to be average at best, where can he afford the words of longevity such as captivating the country and the city. Chu Xuan heard the meaning of the other party's words, and hurriedly knocked his head a few times.
"Whether it's beautiful or ugly, my son doesn't care. Xia Xing raised his head and yawned, and said in a commanding tone: "You can bring her out tomorrow night and sleep with me all night." ”
Chu Xuan's heart twitched, and he said tentatively: "Kyoto is a stunning woman who grabs a large piece, if the son likes it, he can satisfy the son as much as he wants." ”
Xia Xing narrowed his eyes, and a cold glow suddenly shot out of his eyes, stabbing Chu Xuan's chest like lightning, Chu Xuan had the intention to dodge, but he was afraid of angering the other party, so he had to take a blow alive, and spit out a mouthful of blood.
"I don't say it a second time. His tone was unquestionable, and all the Zhou courtiers present lowered their heads.
Chu Xuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said in his heart that he was by no means his opponent, so it was better to promise him verbally first, and it would be expedient for the time being, so he nodded, and said tremblingly: "Thank you Gongzi for sparing me from dying, Chu Xuan dares to disobey." ”
A slight smile appeared at the corner of Xia Xing's mouth: "That's it, but it's just to let your lady sleep overnight, and your whole country is peaceful, isn't it great?"
...
The monarchs and ministers of the state of Chu left the Jin army in great panic and rode back to Kyoto in fear.
On the way, Su Haochen couldn't help but ask Chu Xuan: "Your Majesty, the meaning of the commander of the Jin Kingdom is very clear, I don't know what you are going to do?"
Chu Xuan looked back and made sure that everyone was far away from the Jin army, and said coldly: "How can I really send Tang'er out?" She is my wife, and now she is pregnant with my flesh and blood, if I want to exchange a woman for peace, not to mention that the world is despised, if I want to die, I will never do that!"
Unexpectedly, when Su Haochen heard this, he was not moved at all, but persuaded him: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Don't let down the tens of thousands of people of Da Zhou because of the little girl alone! Tang'er is the daughter of the old minister, and of course the old minister also hopes that she will accompany His Majesty well, but now that the Jin army is in the city, it is destined that she should have this disaster in her life, and she can't hide from it, so it is better to let her go out of the city to accompany the young man for a night, just sleep, and she won't lose a piece of meat." Isn't it beautiful to have national security and folk music?"
When Chu Xuan heard this, he was shocked beyond words, as if he was meeting Su Haochen for the first time, and stared at him for a long time without saying a word. It took some time for him to come back from his shock and roar:
"Old thief, what bastard are you talking about? She's your own daughter! How can a father do this to his own flesh and blood? Don't think that I don't know what you're thinking, aren't you afraid that the Jin army will attack and come in, and when the Zhou State is gone, will your Su family be buried with the imperial court? You say, I'm right!"
Su Haochen's old face turned red and he defended: "The old minister's heartfelt words are completely for the sake of Your Majesty and the society of the Great Zhou! Your Majesty should think about it, is the personal chastity of the little girl important, or is it the people of the entire Kyoto who are important? Please think about it carefully!"
After saying that, Su Haochen pretended to shake the reins angrily and took the lead in the direction of the capital.
Seeing the prime minister and the emperor arguing, the ministers didn't dare to come over to persuade at first, although the emperor of the Great Zhou was Chu Xuan, everyone knew that the emperor didn't like to be in charge, and many major matters were decided by Su Haochen, the prime minister. Seeing the other party leave angrily, he dared to gather around Chu Xuan and comfort this young majesty.
Looking at Su Haochen in the distance, Chu Xuan's heart was numb for a while, but there was one thing he would never compromise: unless he died, he would never send his beloved woman to someone else's bed!
