Chapter 49: Marriage
With a "whoosh", he pulled out his long sword, making Hu Chu make a gesture to cut Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen was startled, turned around and ran, and said while running: "Don't be angry, Uncle Linghu, this king really wants to marry your girl, no, I brought all the dowry." β
Wu Liang, who understood it, hurriedly waved his hand, and then, Heng San, who was escorted by the three guards of the Qunying Pavilion, was brought out.
Finally came to a safe place, Xiao Chen bent over and said breathlessly: "Uncle, look, this is your subordinate who wants to kill me, tsk, a strong man in the realm of true self, he is also the leading figure in the martial arts, what a pity to kill, as long as you marry the girl to me, I will return the person to you, you will not lose money in this transaction." β
Looking at Heng San, who was tied up by five flowers, Ling Hu Chu's face suddenly showed a look of shame, and he pulled Heng San out in public, and kept saying that he wanted to marry his own girl, isn't this clearly slapping himself?
Angry and annoyed, Ling Hu Chu twisted his sword and rushed towards Xiao Chen: "You little brute, it's not enough to harm other people's girls, you also want to come to harm my Ling Hu Chu's girl, this king will eliminate harm for the people today." β
Looking at the farce-like scene, the other four princes covered their mouths and snickered, this kind of absurd thing is estimated to be something like Xiao Chen, of course, no matter what the ending is, Linghu Chu, the king of the western patrol, is destined to lose face after today.
Seeing that Linghu Chu was about to twist his sword and rush towards Xiao Chen, a voice full of majesty suddenly sounded: "Lord Xunxi, this matter is enough!" β
Hearing this voice, even if Ling Hu Chu was unwilling, he could only slowly put away his long sword. Turning around, Ling Hu Chu arched his hand slightly towards Bai Qi: "General......"
Waving his hand to interrupt Ling Hu Chu's words, Bai Qi glanced at Xiao Chen with a smile on his face, and then said: "I think that the dragon and phoenix among the people of Prince Xiao, and the girl of the prince is also a golden branch and jade leaf. β
"This ......" Ling Hu Chu's eyes widened suddenly, and he couldn't believe that these words came out of Bai Qi's mouth.
You must know that Bai Qi had acquiesced to killing Xiao Chen before.
Bai Qi turned his head to look at Linghu Chu and said, "What? The prince seems to think that General Ben's words don't work, right? β
Ever since he knew that Xiao Chen was the key to winning the world, Bai Qi was thinking about how to win over Xiao Chen, if he was given the opportunity today, Bai Qi naturally couldn't let it go.
Bai Qi seemed to be asking Ling Hu Chu's opinion, but the coldness in his eyes was full of warning. Linghu Chu, who was startled, hurriedly shook his head and said: "Naturally not, naturally not, it's just that the little girl is still young, and it's too early to talk about marriage at this time." β
Bai Qi's eyes narrowed, and he said coldly: "What the prince meant, this general understands it, this is intentionally not going to give me and Prince Xiao face, I just don't know, if His Majesty personally decrees, will the prince listen or not?" β
Linghu Chu's face was flustered: "General, I ......"
Bai Qi waved his hand and said indifferently: "Come, please come out for Your Majesty." β
On the side, Xiao Chen was confused, the reason why he openly wanted to marry Linghu Chu's daughter in front of the princes, and moved out a captured Hengsan as a dowry, was to report the assassination of the Fallen Soul Gorge, and he didn't want to really tear his face with Ling Hu Chu, and he didn't really want to marry that Ling Hu Jin. However, Bai Qishang, who had been lukewarm before, rushed to promote this matter, but it made Xiao Chen feel a little bottomless.
However, since Bai Qi took over this matter, Xiao Chen was happy to wait and see what kind of medicine was sold in this Bai Qi gourd.
Soon, under the "support" of two men with swords and armor, Wei Emperor Cao Xun was brought to everyone.
Cao Xun, who was already thin, was thinner than before, and the imperial crown was also crooked, revealing a few strands of messy hair, trembling in front of the two majestic guards, where was there still a little bit of imperial majesty, more like a prisoner.
Looking at Cao Xun, Bai Qi smiled slightly and bowed slightly: "Generalissimo Bai Qi, I have seen Your Majesty." β
Seeing this, the six princes also hurriedly bowed: "The ministers have seen Your Majesty." β
Although the six people are hunched, who they can worship is intriguing.
Glancing at Bai Qi in front of him with some fear, Cao Xun raised his hand tremblingly and said, "Zhong Aiqing...... Flat...... Flatten. β
Everyone slowly straightened up, Bai Qi chuckled and glanced at Cao Xun in front of him, and stretched out his hand to Cao Xun's hair, Cao Xun was startled by Bai Qi's move, and subconsciously took a step back.
"Huh?!"
The two guards grabbed Cao Xun's arm and glanced at Cao Xun coldly. Cao Xun suddenly didn't dare to move anymore, so he could only stand in place in a daze, looking at Bai Qi with a panicked face.
With a warm smile on his face, Bai Qi glared at the two guards and said, "This is Your Majesty, what do you want to do, do you want to rebel?" β
Hearing this, the two guards hurriedly let go of Cao Xun and bowed to Bai Qi.
Bai Qi walked to Cao Xun's side, stretched out his hand to help Cao Xun gently straighten his hair, and straightened the emperor's crown, and then said: "Your Majesty was a little frightened in Yong'an before, but after all, you should pay attention to your appearance, otherwise these princes are afraid that they will think that I, Bai Qi, are disrespectful to Your Majesty, right?" β
Holding back the fear and anger in his heart, Cao Xun forcibly squeezed out a smile at Bai Qi and said:
"That's what the general said, what the general said."
Everyone saw all this in their eyes, knowing that it was one thing for Bai Qi to hold Emperor Wei hostage, and it was another thing to see it, when they saw Cao Xun who was now like a puppet, there were a few sympathizers for Cao Xun in their hearts, and more people were more afraid of Bai Qi.
He dared to hold the emperor hostage, what else did he dare not do?
Haha smiled, Bai Qi gently patted Cao Xun's shoulder and said: "By the way, Your Majesty, the minister asked Your Majesty to come out this time, because this Yong'an King Xiao Chen has made meritorious contributions in Yong'an, Your Majesty only praised it verbally before, which inevitably made the prince feel cold, today Bai Qi is brave, please ask Your Majesty to marry the daughter of Linghu Chu, the king of the western patrol, to Xiao Wangye, in order to reward the prince's merits, and I hope Your Majesty will agree." β
Looking at Bai Qi, who had a cold gaze in front of him, Cao Xun said resignedly: "Since the general thinks it's good, then ...... That's good, of course. β
Bai Qi asked, "Your Majesty has agreed?" β
Cao Xun swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "All ...... It's all up to the general. β
When Bai Qi heard this, he laughed, waved his hand lightly, and the two guards stepped forward again and took Cao Xun back to the carriage.
Turning his head, Bai Qi chuckled and looked at Linghu Chu and said, "Lord Linghu, have you heard, Your Majesty personally decreed the marriage, I don't know if the prince is willing to obey the decree?" β
Ling Hu Chu raised his head suddenly, looking at the invincible Bai Qi in front of him, and his heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
How can he not understand, this Bai Qi is clearly saying that Cao Xun is giving marriage, but in fact, he is using the emperor to pressure himself, if he doesn't agree again, he can kill himself on the spot in the name of resisting the decree.
With a long sigh, Ling Hu Chu bowed down, and said loudly: "Minister, the king of the west Ling Hu Chu, thank you." β
Bai Qi looked at Xiao Chen and smiled, "What about Lord Xiao?" β
Although he still didn't know what Bai Qi's intention was, adhering to the idea of taking advantage of the bastard, Xiao Chen still arched his hand lightly and said, "Xiao Chen, take the order!" β
β¦β¦
After some tossing, it was almost late at night, Bai Qi led the army forward and went straight to the southern city of Qianguoyang.
In the carriage, Xiao Chen sat on the main seat with a puzzled face, thinking for a while, Xiao Chen couldn't understand why Bai Qi suddenly wanted to promote his marriage with the King of Xunxi. If Ling Hu Chu wanted to kill himself, he must have been instructed by Bai Qi secretly, but as soon as this assassination ended, Bai Qi's attitude took a 180-degree turn, not only being kind to himself, but also forcing Ling Hu Chu to marry his own girl to him.
"It's so abnormal, it's so abnormal." Xiao Chen muttered to himself, his brows furrowed, the more he couldn't see through Bai Qi's thoughts, the more uneasy Xiao Chen felt in his heart. Today, Bai Qi's attitude towards Cao Xun Xiao Chen saw it in his eyes, and he was still like this to the emperor, not to mention these princes who were divided into various places, and now, the remaining five people were afraid that they were also restless.
Diexiang leaned over to Xiao Chen's side and said in a low voice, "Is the prince still worried about today's affairs?" β
After coming back to his senses, Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "If Bai Qi wants to deal with me, I'm not afraid, but today's overtures really make me scratch my head, and I feel a little bottomless." β
Du Yingying snorted lightly and interjected: "I don't know what I have in my heart, I have a fiancΓ©e like a flower in the blink of an eye, I'm afraid that the prince is happy in his heart, right?" β
Xiao Chen helplessly helped his forehead, this girl still has such a deep prejudice against herself.
Diexiang pursed her lips and smiled, sometimes it is quite interesting to watch this pair quarrel happily.
With a slight roll of her eyes, Diexiang analyzed: "Is there a possibility that Bai Qi is just trying to win over you?" β
Xiao Chen frowned: "Woo me?" β
Diexiang continued: "The king of Xunxi once made a move on the prince, and after the failure, Bai Qi not only did not protect the king of Xunxi, but followed the will of the prince, and forced His Majesty to give the prince a marriage. β
Xiao Chen pondered on his face: "But Yongan wants soldiers or not, money or not, and he can't compare to the other five princes in all aspects, what is Bai Qi suddenly trying to win me over?" β
Diexiang shook her head and said, "I can't figure this out, if the prince wants to get an answer, maybe he has to ask Bai Qi himself in person." β
At this moment, Wu Liang's voice suddenly came from outside the carriage:
"Lord Wang, General Bai Qi sent someone over and asked Lord Wang Ye to talk in private."
Xiao Chen and Diexiang glanced at each other, and then smiled dumbly: "Look...... The Lord is coming......"
