Chapter 75. Gu Lingsheng
He Xiao looked at Qi Rusong, and then shook his head violently! The three of them are afraid that they have already discussed it, and even if I join forces with the He family in the eastern realm, it will be an absolute disadvantage.
If you don't agree, you will have no good fruit to eat.
So he had no choice but to announce. "Your Majesty, the minister obeys."
"King of the East, what do you mean?" Gu Hao turned his head and asked.
He Lin never expected Qi Rusong to answer like this, she sneered. "It's come to this, why ask me! Don't say three months after three months, and three months into three years. β
Except for Qi Rusong, no one paid attention to her.
"Then starting tomorrow, the eastern border will be ruled by the second prince Gu Yang, the western border will be represented by the eldest prince, and the southern border will be represented by the princess!" Wen Zhong announced, "He Xiao, Rusong, the two of you will stay in Zhongzhou to cultivate for three months!" β
you, cultivate you! Qi Rusong heard He Xiao cover his mouth and curse!!
After the order was given, He Lin led He Xiao to leave the table angrily.
Qi Rusong also wanted to leave, but was stopped by Old Man Wen. "Stay like a pine." He said, "The princess is going to rule in your southern border, and you should explain some important affairs in the south to her." β
Does formalism need to be done so realistically? Qi Rusong smiled bitterly. "Yes!"
Then, Wen Zhong called Gu Lingsheng to come, and then left with a smile.
"Your Highness the Princess!" Qi Rusong saluted her.
Gu Lingsheng forced herself to smile, "Go out, I don't want to be here!" β
"Yes, princess!"
The empty garden was eerily silent, and the battlements were filled with only a few royal guards who had tightened their cloaks to ward off the cold, huddled in the corners, though they looked bored and sad.
But Gu Lingsheng has a thousand and ten thousand wishes to exchange places with him. In addition, the whole lonely city was pitch black and lonely.
Princess Daxia once went to an abandoned garden, where there was no one to go, silent and gloomy, and there was silence all around, except for the boulders who silently poured out the situation of their past owners.
The sheng song and dance music poured out from the open window behind her, and it was the last thing she wanted to hear at the moment. She wiped away tears from her sleeves, angry at why she was born royal.
"Princess."
Qi Rusong called her, but she didn't look back. "I won't take your rights as the king of the South!" "It's just a scene, you don't have to worry!" she said. β
Princess Daxia did not use any aura to cover her aura, and through the [Soul Eye], he could clearly see that she was full of sadness and helplessness.
"Haha, I wish you were taking away the position of King of the South!"
Gu Lingsheng turned her head curiously, "You don't want to be happy with me!" She will be skeptical.
"Give me ten dares, and I don't dare to find the happiness of Princess Daxia!" Qi Rusong replied to him.
"Princess?" Gu Lingsheng only felt a chill pierce her whole body, she pursed her lips and did not continue.
"Am I offending you?" Qi Rusong hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I'm not good at making women happy." He Xiao is good at this, he is open-mouthed but can always make other women smile, and I will do the same. β
He grinned, "But you're a princess!" β
"Gu Hao is my father, that's right." "But don't call me princess!" she said. β
"Well," Qi Rusong looked at her face, "compared to your brothers, you have more of a kingly demeanor." β
"Hmph, how do you tell?"
"I'm bastard!" Qi Rusong replied to him, "What does it mean to be an illegitimate child in the Great Xia Kingdom, I don't think I need to explain more." β
"But you're a man, an authentic little prince of the south."
"Really?" Qi Rusong smiled bitterly, "You shouldn't have been out of the palace!" I am an illegitimate child, and the whole Lingnan City thinks that I am an alien, and my brother regards me as a thorn in his side, and wants to get rid of me as soon as possible. β
"My father, in order to save my life, sent me to the Demon Hunting Gate. But those people led by my brother still didn't let me go, and even sent killers to try to kill me when I led the southern demon hunters to fight the demon clan.
After I was lucky enough to return to Lingnan City, I even framed my father and the king, and accused me of murdering my father and rebelling, and the demon clan! β
"I don't even know what my mother looks like." Gu Lingsheng said.
"It's a woman, anyway." He smiled sadly at her.
Princess Daxia snorted and showed a rare smile.
"That's right, you have a beautiful smile!" Qi Rusong said.
"Thank you." Gu Lingsheng smiled again. "Why are you so cheerful? I mean, after all the injustices you've suffered! β
"Your Royal Highness, beautiful princess, let me give you a little advice, which a friend of mine told me." Qi Rusong said, "Never forget who you are, because the world will not forget."
You have to turn resistance into help, so that there are no weaknesses. Arm yourself with it, and no one can use it to hurt you. β
"Hurt..."Gu Lingsheng lowered his head, "If someone really hurts me, will you protect me?" β
"Of course I will, I am a minister of Great Xia, and it is my duty to protect the princess of Great Xia!"
Hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed across her face.
"Aha, as a friend, it's my duty to protect you."
"Friends?" Gu Lingsheng smiled, this was the third time she smiled tonight. Qi Rusong found that her smile was really beautiful!
"Ha, yes. I'm supposed to tell you about the South. Qi Rusong said, "When I left, I ordered Mr. Yin to be the acting city lord.
This man is scheming, and regards the order and balance of Lingnan City as more important than anything else, but at the same time, he is also sincerely thinking about the people. You can believe half of what he says.
The second is named Stone Snake. It is my bosom friend, who has saved me many times. This man is like an old urchin, but he is just and kind-hearted. When you get to Lingnan City, you can find him for anything.
The third is my wife, named Su Yu. Originally a peasant woman on the border of the Ghost Shadow Forest, she is thoughtful and not afraid of power, and she can also be your helper! β
"You... Why do you want to do this to me? Gu Lingsheng's mood was complicated, "Are you really not afraid that I will seize power?" β
"The real king doesn't disdain such indiscriminate methods!"
"You're holding me up too high!" Gu Lingsheng told him. "In this game of power, your temperament will be calculated and used!"
"Then at least I still have the value to use!" Qi Rusong grimaced. "Now, can I ask you about the situation in Middle-earth?"
"What do you want to know?"
"Old Man Wen, Prime Minister, and... The Great Prince! β
"Old Man Wen is the teacher of the Great Xia Emperor, and half of the credit for the current throne is his. There are too many officials in the government and the opposition today who are his protΓ©gΓ©s, and it can be said that he is above 10,000 people under one person. Gu Lingsheng replied to him.
"Prime Minister, I don't know where he came from, and I can't even forget when he joined the cabinet and became Prime Minister. I only know that many times my father will ask him for divination, and most of the time he will consult with him when he encounters difficulties.
This person behaves strangely and usually wears a full mask. Therefore, I have never even seen his face.
And my eldest brother is proud and conceited, but he... He is the only person in the world who is good to me! He showed me all the sincere love that a brother should have.
But my father and the ministers of the court have a little prejudice against him, because he..."
"What's wrong with him?"
"Killed your own mentor!" Gu Lingsheng said, "It's just because his mentor was possessed by the [Crossing Demon]..."
"Passing through the demon possession? Zhongzhou City is the headquarters of the Demon Hunter Gate, and the palace warrior encounters a demon crossing incident, which should be judged by the demon hunter. Qi Rusong was puzzled, "As far as I know, the eldest prince is not a demon hunter!" β
"I was only three years old at the time, and my memory was incomplete, and I knew that he was there to save me!"
"Therefore, there is no way to verify whether it is possessed by a passing demon!" Qi Rusong said.
"Yes, this behavior has caused him all kinds of doubts, but my eldest brother still thinks that killing that Crossing Demon is a masterpiece of his pride. And his true motives have never been known. β
According to other accounts, the power of the Gu clan was inherited by Gu Lingsheng. But the eldest prince is protecting his sister and giving up the opportunity to inherit his power. This amount of energy is worthy of admiration!
But at the same time, his mentor was victimized by the Crossing Demon, and he naturally had a deep hatred for the Crossing Demon! Don't reveal your identity!
"I'll introduce the royal brother to you another day?"
"Aha, there's a chance!" Although Qi Rusong said this, he was thinking in his heart, it is best not to see it.
I don't know why, although it was the first time they met, Gu Lingsheng had a good impression of Qi Rusong in front of her.
"Can you tell me about you?" Unbeknownst to the girl, her face was flushed when she said this.
"Where to start?"
"Let's start with the Demon Disaster of the Southern Ghost Shadow Forest," Gu Lingsheng said, "What is the Demon Patriarch like?" Do they really have five heads and eight legs? β
"I haven't seen the five-headed one, but the five-butted [Pig Demon] has seen a lot!" Qi Rusong teased her.
"Huh? The five-butt [pig demon]? What kind of existence would that be! β
Qi Rusong sneered, "Lie to you, how can there be a pig with five butts," he said, "I treat you as a friend, so I won't hide it from you." In my eyes, the demon race is not much different from us humans.
Race does not represent good and evil, I have seen demon races with noble character, and I have also seen despicable humans who are inferior to beasts!"
"I'm sure you're telling the truth!"
So, Qi Rusong opened his heart and told Gu Lingsheng everything he had encountered in the Ghost Shadow Forest. Princess Daxia listened with relish and was deeply attracted by the scene of the story.
By the time Qi Rusong's story was finished, it was already late at night, and the crowd at the party gradually dispersed.
"I should go back too," he said, standing up, intending to leave.
"Will you come to see me again?" Gu Lingsheng asked.
"Definitely, definitely!"
He turned, and the moonlight clearly cast his back on the courtyard. At that moment, the figure of the King of the Southern Realm stood tall like an emperor.
Two people with the same bumpy background, because fate meets, no one knows what kind of sparks will be rubbed in the future.
