Chapter Ninety-Eight: Fake Death and Rebirth
"The previous marriage partner of this county lord is you, His Royal Highness King Yong!"
Wen Jinghua stepped down from the high seat and approached Qi Yuanshen step by step.
"His Royal Highness King Yong, I'm afraid that he is jealous, because of the punishment he suffered because of the county lord before, right?"
Wen Jinghua used Wen Jingxian to marry Qi Yuanshen fiercely, and everyone present knew it.
Wen Jinghua looked at Qi Yuanshen, "I think His Royal Highness King Yong has a grudge, so he put forward such a ridiculous plan to humiliate Jinghua." ”
Qi Yuan looked at Wen Jinghua cautiously, with a smile on his face, "What does the county lord mean by this? ”
"Sincerely?" Wen Jinghua's eyes suddenly sharpened, "I am the only blood and blood of the former Zhenbei general Chu family and the Xianzhong Yi Wen family in the world, you let me be close to the Bei clan, isn't it humiliating!"
Qi Yuanshen was asked by Wen Jinghua, and was immediately speechless, but as if relieved, his originally tense complexion eased.
The prince's face sank like water, and he got up and said, "Even if the second brother and the prince of Tuoba make a contract, this move is really unnecessary." ”
"General Chu Lao and General Wen both died in the Gobi at war with the Bei people, and now the loyal soul is still there, but you proposed to make peace with Prince Tuoba at peace, which is really a great humiliation. ”
Qi Yuanshen looked extremely surprised.
Looking at his unexpected face, Wen Jinghua knew that Qi Yuanshen hadn't taken this situation into account at all.
Qi Yuanshen is a rude, righteous and shameless scoundrel, with the same appearance as Qi Yuanmin, but he has no pattern at all.
He just thought about sending himself out and strengthening his alliance of interests with Tuoba Jian, but he didn't think about it at all from the position of the righteousness of his family and country, Wen Jinghua couldn't marry Tuoba Jian at all.
It's about a country's face, and it's not something he can cover up with a little conspiracy at all.
Even if Wen Jinghua could agree, the people of Daliang couldn't agree.
Qi Yuanshen's face was surprised and embarrassed, and he was asked by Wen Jinghua and the crown prince.
There was silence in the hall for a while.
"If it's the county lord and his relatives, ... Can you change the peace of the north for twenty years?"
Tuoba opened his mouth in a deep voice.
When Wen Jinghua heard this, her heart was clenched violently.
She looked up and saw Tuoba Jian's vertical pupils tightly locked on her, and she asked with confidence: "If I guarantee that after the county lord marries into the Bei clan, he will never step into the territory of Daliang within twenty years, what does the county lord think?"
What do you think?
Not how.
Wen Jinghua took half a step back in distraction.
Qi Yuanshen's face sank like water, but under Wan Zhen'er's repeated glances, he smiled.
He took a deep breath and said: "Yes, since the county lord's family fought on the battlefield to ensure the peace of my northern border, now the county lord alone can exchange the northern border for twenty years without war. ”
The prince fell silent.
Queen Wang's face was complicated.
Wen Jinghua's mind instantly deduced a thousand methods.
But in the end, she had to admit that if she alone could exchange for twenty years of peace, it would be really... It's hard to refuse.
Wen Jinghua couldn't say anything to refuse.
Recalling the bones on the battlefield, the desperate eyes of the homeland looking forward to the return of their relatives, and the old and weak women and children who were displaced by the war and lost their homes...
Wen Jinghua couldn't refuse.
She shuddered involuntarily and almost fell down in front of the imperial steps.
Tuoba Jian walked towards her step by step.
"The county lord is a family member, and he can exchange the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the north, Anle county lord, can you marry me far away?"
"I..."
Wen Jinghua's face was pale, and her figure was shaky.
She really couldn't say no.
Wen Jinghua sadly realized that she couldn't hold on.
Everyone was silent, waiting for her reply.
"She doesn't want to!"
Suddenly, someone dressed in stars and moon strode from outside the temple gate.
Wen Jinghua's originally desperate gaze immediately burst out with a look of surprise.
Everyone followed her gaze and turned to look.
I saw Chu Lingheng dressed in a silver dress, and his eyes fell on Wen Jinghua.
The originally deep eyes revealed a rare tenderness, "I'm late." ”
Wen Jinghua's tense heartstrings relaxed in an instant.
She closed her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Chu Lingheng, aren't you dead!" Chen Xiaomei was the first to exclaim.
Tuoba Yu'er then lost her voice, "This is impossible!"
Wan Zhen'er stood up from her seat suddenly, and after seeing it clearly, her sharp gaze immediately turned to Queen Wang, who was sitting on top of her.
The surprise on the queen's face couldn't be suppressed for a long time, and she turned to see the prince happily.
I saw that the prince had been maintaining a fake smile on his face, and finally showed a real smile at this moment.
He looked at Qi Yuanshen with a smile.
Qi Yuanshen looked angry, and subconsciously glanced at Tuoba Jian.
Tuoba Jian's shocked face was not replaced by ruthlessness until Chu Lingheng stood still in front of Wen Jinghua.
"Chu Lingheng, you're not dead..."
Chu Lingheng turned a blind eye to everyone's colorful reactions, he walked up to Wen Jinghua and said distressedly, "I'm late." ”
Wen Jinghua shook her head and bloomed with dazzling brilliance, "You came just in time." ”
The prince laughed and said, "General Chu came at the right time!"
He immediately ordered someone to put Chu Lingheng's table under him, and when everyone was seated, he immediately said loudly: "If the general is one step late, I am afraid that the county lord of Anle will be forced to marry the Bei clan far away and go with his relatives." ”
Chu Lingheng glanced at Tuoba Jian and Qi Yuanshen out of the corner of his eyes, and said in a calm but unquestionable voice: "I said, she doesn't want to." ”
"Chu Lingheng," Tuoba Jian said with a sneer, "I'm afraid this can't help you." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Qi Yuanshen with a warning on his face.
Qi Yuan's eyes moved uncertainly, and he said to Chu Lingheng: "General Chu shouldn't have heard, the prince of Tuoba was willing to exchange twenty years of peace in the north for the county lord of Anle, and the county lord must be willing, so... What the general just said, I'm afraid I can't do it. ”
"Oh?" Chu Lingheng looked at Wen Jinghua with a little amusement on his face.
He turned his head and looked at Tuoba Jian, his tone completely undisguised, "Yelang is arrogant. ”
Tuoba Jian's hands clenched into fists.
Wen Jinghua couldn't hold back, lowered her head and pursed her lips and smiled.
Tuoba Yu'er suddenly jumped out and said in a loud voice: "What does General Chu mean by this?
Chu Lingheng ignored it.
Tuoba Yu'er kept looking at Chu Lingheng's face, and saw that there was no superfluous expression on his face except for the gentleness towards Wen Jinghua.
Tuoba Yu'er gritted her teeth and continued: "My Bei clan is not a bully, if your country feels that marrying a county lord is a bit of a loss, my Bei clan will marry a princess again, so that the two countries will always marry Qin and Jin, and there will be no wolf smoke in the northern country." ”
"What does Princess Tuoba mean," Wen Jinghua smiled rather than smiling, "Do you want to marry Chu Lingheng?"
