Chapter Seventy-Three. The Five Kings Council
The fact that the two princes, twenty important ministers of Zhongzhou City, and a king of the southern realm visited [Gentle Township] together suddenly became the joke of the people of Zhongzhou City after dinner.
Miss Miao Yan is even more famous, attracting many people to [Gentle Township], just to see what this strange woman who made the two sons fight look like.
He Xiao is not ashamed, but proud. He even suggested that Mother Yang provide a meeting service with Miss Miao Yan at the price of one or two silver at a time, so that she could make a lot of money.
But Qi Rusong was so ashamed that he didn't want to go out again.
For a long time after that day, the "culprit" He Xiao approached him several times, but he refused.
There were only three days left for the Five Kings to deliberate, and he didn't want to get into trouble anymore.
Three days later, at dusk, Qi Rusong dressed neatly and walked out of the door.
The royal guards had already prepared the carriage and were just waiting for him to leave.
Thousands of years ago, Zhongzhou City was inhabited by only a mountain forest and a small group of fishermen who rubbed the mouth of the long river. Until the ancestor of the Gu clan, under the leadership of the ancient gods, landed at the mouth of the Long River and built his fortress on the top of the highest high mound with earth and wood.
Later, the demon clan was pacified, and the ancestors of the Gu clan decided to build a city here, and the fortress built at the beginning became the palace of today's Great Xia Kingdom.
About 700 years ago, the palace went on fire. When it was renovated, the main body of the palace was made of stone and not a single piece of wood, in order to prevent anyone from burning it with fire.
After walking through the forecourt is the atrium of the palace, a spectacular square, from which you can overlook the whole city of Middle-earth from its terrace, and around the square stands huge marble stone columns, which look very majestic.
Behind the square, there is an ancient garden, built in the name of the previous Emperor of Great Xia.
After passing through the garden, there is the banquet hall.
Outside the tall and carved wooden door, stood two guards wearing gilded half-helmets, with the coat of arms of the Great Xia royal family embroidered on their chests. Both of them are 1.9 meters tall, with broad shoulders and thin waists, and are full of muscles.
Seeing Qi Rusong coming, they immediately saluted: "Lord Wang, please come in!" ”
The two opened the door. "Like a pine, like a pine!" Before he saw him, he heard his voice first, and He Xiao's voice drilled into his cochlea again.
The prince of the eastern realm ran forward, "Giving up the nest?" ”
"To hide from you!" Qi Rusong looked at him with disgust.
"Ha, I'm afraid I'll eat you?" He Xiao sent the guards away, and then grabbed Qi Rusong's arm, "Come on, come in!" ”
In the hall, the fire crackled and the sweet herbs were sprinkled on the floor.
"Hmph, what happened last time was resolved?"
"What else can you do with the two sons? Naturally, big things are turned into small things, and small things are turned into nothing! He Xiao said with a hippie smile.
"What are you talking about here?" A woman's voice came.
Qi Rusong followed the prestige, and one was wearing a simple long skirt. There was no other jewelry on his body. I only brought one ring. A woman approaching nearly fifty years old walked slowly.
Although there are already signs of aging. But Ren Ran couldn't stop his glamorous appearance
"Ha, Mother!" He Xiao scratched his head, "Oh, no! Hello Lord! Let me introduce to you, this is the most recent figure in the Great Xia Kingdom, the king of the southern realm: Qi Rusong! ”
"Hello Wangye!" Qi Rusong saluted her.
"It doesn't have to be so polite!" The King of the East's voice was soft, and the smell of rose perfume emanated from his body. "You are that Qi Rusong, as long as you open your eyes recently, your stories are everywhere. Now I finally see the deity! ”
"You're laughing!"
"Haha, it's really the blood of the Qi family, and the personality is the same as your grandfather and father." He Lin said, "I know your grandfather, although we don't know each other well. ”
"He died before I was born."
"Yes, I remember!" She blew her nose. "Time flies so fast, and in the blink of an eye, I'm half a hundred years old. Maybe one day death will come quietly. ”
"Mother, you've just turned fiftie!! What nonsense! ”
"Night will come to everyone, just a little sooner for some. Rusong, you know this better than most people. ”
I can naturally understand that my mother...
"Mother! Okay, why are you mentioning this? He Xiao said.
"So what's that talking about? Talk about you, a playboy with a head full of women? The King of the East said bluntly, "Or talk about your father?" Did he do his part?
Nothing was left, leaving us orphans and widows! Sometimes I think it would be good to be a peasant woman in the countryside, and the sun rises and the sun rises.
Save yourself from facing a large group of fat-headed and big-eared men who only know how to compete for power and profit as soon as you wake up! ”
"Father and grandfather are not such people!"
"Yes, they are great princes!" Qi Rusong said politely.
"Great idiot!" He Lin corrected, "Don't get me wrong, I love my father, he is kind-hearted and powerful, but his brain just can't turn a corner!" ”
"Ha, the more you say, the more exaggerated it becomes! Pay attention to your words, otherwise Rusong will think that our family is a bunch of weirdos. ”
"He'll think we're a bunch of funny people, anyway, at least we're heartthrobs, aren't we?" The king of the Eastern Realm turned back to Qi Rusong's direction, "Speaking of which, those people in the Eastern Realm who call themselves the [Orthodox He Family]. Hum! ”
"What are you doing with them?" He Xiao said, "A group of self-righteous Wang Ba. ”
"What are you doing with them?" The King of the East's face fused, "Their actions are rebellious, I warned your uncle. The succession to the throne of the East is in accordance with the ancestral family law, how can he make such a request?
Tsk-tsk, he also told me that the inheritance of power will always return to the [Orthodox Ho Clan] lineage. ”
"Kill me, if I die, the aura of the He clan will awaken among the other members!"
Qi Rusong opened his mouth wide, he already understood. He Xiao's uncle, as the so-called [Orthodox He Clan] person, is peeping on the throne! "The strong of the Great Xia Kingdom are respected!"
The King of the Eastern Realm disagreed, "The strong? What's the use! People with wolf ambitions do everything! She said, "Also, our two princes, especially the second prince, I want you to be honest, what kind of person do you think he is?" ”
Qi Rusong was shocked, "He... I..."He is also a person with a strong desire for power, and his methods are not very upright.
"Don't you dare to say it? I'll admit that both of these princes look kingly. Hmph, both of them are somewhat arrogant men, and this should also be attributed to their Gu bloodline.
However, we have heard many troubling rumors. Is there any truth to these rumors? All the rumors point to Yue'er! ”
"Yue'er?"
"Ha, you still don't know the name of our princess of Daxia." He Xiao smiled, "Gu Lingsheng, nicknamed Yue'er." ”
The girl who also inherited the aura of the Gu clan? Qi Rusong didn't know how to answer for a while.
He Lin was a little impatient, "How can you be virtuous with your father, I am asking you questions, waiting for your answer." Has your tongue been plucked out by your brother? Child! ”
"The second prince is very good, the princess is his sister, no matter what kind of rumors it is, it is groundless."
"People are nice? Why don't you say that he is the reincarnation of a real dragon? The Gu family all said that they were true dragons, and the other four clans were all worms that served them! The King of the East shouted, "I asked him why he must kill your brother!" ”
"The second prince is presiding over justice!" Qi Rusong lied, "My brother really deserves to die!" ”
"Hell! You've fallen in the path of their Gu clan! They just hope that the four of us will be afraid of him, and then give you a candy to eat, so that you will die for him! If they will uphold justice, there are still so many injustices in my Great Xia Kingdom? ”
"Rusong," He Xiao hurriedly interrupted their conversation, "Alcohol addiction, let's have a drink!" ”
"Do you have Southern Osmanthus wine?" Qi Rusong said.
"Yes, the wine of the demon clan is available. Hahaha! ”
"What kind of wine? One less drink won't kill anyone! The King of the Eastern Realm turned his head and scolded He Xiao, "Are you afraid to talk about the second prince?" Child! Don't be afraid, why is the annual meeting called the "Council of the Five Kings"?
That's because the ancient gods gave me the responsibility of guarding Great Xia to my five major families, but they have never set up a so-called emperor! ”
"No [Emperor]?"
"Yes, I didn't lie to you with a single word!" He Lin said, "I don't know when it started, this Gu clan began to call himself the Great Xia Emperor, I really don't know why he is!" ”
"Just rely on the strength of the Great Xia Emperor!" A deep voice came, this voice Qi Rusong remembered, it belonged to Zheng Yuanfeng, the king of the northern realm, "Your mother and son may not be the opponent of the princess when they join forces, let alone Your Majesty!"
I am respected as the strong man of the Great Xia Kingdom, and the Gu clan of the Great Xia Emperor is the strongest family in my Great Xia Kingdom, so why should we call him the emperor? ”
"So you're willing to be a lackey? Zheng Yuanfeng? He Lin said angrily.
What's going on? Why did the King of the Eastern Realm have such a prejudice against the Great Xia Emperor! And Zheng Yuanfeng, the king of the northern realm, is a loyal posture of the Great Xia Emperor. Is there such a contradiction between the five kings?
"Sure enough, women don't dare to take power," Zheng Yuanfeng glared at her angrily, "Women should be husbands and children at home, and don't come out to show their faces!" ”
"Go on," the King of the East glared at him with a sharp and bright gaze like the tip of a sword. "Say as much as you have hidden in your heart."
"I don't want to have a verbal fight with a woman!"
"You want to change the martial arts, right?"
"If you have such thoughts, I will accompany you to the end."
"Reckless, shut up! Don't talk to my mother like that! If you want to compete, you and I will find a dueling arena tomorrow! Don't think I'm afraid of you! ”
"Just [Seventh-Order Sword Queen Period]?" Zheng Yuanfeng sneered, "Among the five major families of the Five Realms, except for those who have not cultivated spiritual energy, you can be regarded as the penultimate one." ”
As he spoke, the King of the Northern Realm turned his head and looked at Qi Rusong.
"I'm the penultimate one! Is that what it means? Qi Rusong said, "Perhaps, there should be a battle between you and me!" ”
"[Seventh Order Sword Emperor Early Stage]? You deserve to fight me, too?"
He actually saw my strength clearly! And my Soul Eye can't detect him!
The king of the north, what kind of strength does he have!
For a while, the atmosphere was tense to the extreme.
"Aha, please rest your anger, rest your anger!" A year-old voice came, "Sell my old man Wen a face, and say a few words." Ha, less than that! ”
