Chapter 428: Marriage
King Shiguo sat in the gloomy hall, his thin body curled up in a ball, like a ghost reluctant to leave his beloved place, and only showed his presence when he spoke.
"Ah, the prime minister of Shiguo, my right-hand man, I haven't seen you for a long time. You're the prime minister, right? I don't remember exactly. ”
A few words of sarcasm couldn't affect Zhong Heng, and he even had an interesting smile on his face, as if the weak man sitting on the throne was a trick of tricks, and then he bowed perfunctorily and informed the Dragon King's decision, "Ten days later, the Dragon King will marry the princess, please make preparations as soon as possible." ”
"Ready? What else is there to prepare? What do I have to give? The Imperial Seal is already in your hands, or give the chair under my ass to the Dragon King." ”
"Not necessarily. Zhong Heng replied solemnly, "The Dragon King doesn't need His Majesty's things, on the contrary, the Dragon King intends to give His Majesty some gifts." This marriage is very important to Shi Guo, and I hope that His Majesty will take it seriously. ”
"I will. Knowing that words do not represent strength, the king still couldn't help but speak, "As long as you show your sword, I will definitely be serious." ”
Zhong Heng kept smiling, didn't deny it, and turned around to leave the main hall.
The king shrunk even smaller, as if he wanted to be one with the throne.
Zhong Heng went to report the news to the princess again.
He has never been a soft-hearted person, but seeing the princess frightened but pretending to be strong, he still felt a little unbearable, "Please rest assured, princess, after the wedding, His Royal Highness will still live in the palace, no different from before." ”
The princess really hopes to be the same as before, but she knows her identity and status, and she also knows what to say at this time, "There is Prime Minister Lao to worry about, after the wedding, where I live, naturally it is up to the Dragon King to decide, I will not pick and choose." ”
Zhong Heng couldn't imagine that the princess was so young that her knowledge was much higher than that of her brother, so he couldn't help but be impressed by her, bowed deeply, and slowly withdrew.
Xu Yanwei was waiting for him outside.
The Dragon King is finally going to marry the princess, Xu Yanwei is probably the only person who is sincerely happy about it, she has a kind of ability, and she has a strong sense of responsibility for the guests she has received and the hosts she has served, Luo Ning Tea, Shangguan Ru, Princess Shiguo, all of them.
The princess has a weak personality and has been manipulated by various forces since she was a child, and she is very much in need of a strong protector, in Xu Yanwei's opinion, the Dragon King is the best candidate.
Under her influence, the princess's impression of the dragon king has changed greatly, at least she no longer believes in those unbelievable rumors, thinking that her future husband is a monster with a green face and fangs that kills people and eats meat, but the first meeting between the two ruined everything.
The scene of the dragon king's murder was only a few fragments in the princess's mind, but it firmly occupied her mind and lingered, and she woke up from a nightmare every day after a few days, and every time she had to ask Xu Yanwei, who came to comfort her, "Will the dragon king kill me?"
Xu Yanwei swore that she would not, but the effect was not great, so she thought that there was only one way to remove the fear in the princess's heart, that is, to let her marry the dragon king as soon as possible and sleep together for a few nights.
This is Xu Yanwei's conclusion based on his own experience.
She only worries about one thing.
She wasn't interested in how high the dragon king's martial arts were, how many troops he had, or what enemies he would face, but there was one thing she saw better than anyone else.
"Don't wait for ten days, if you want me to say, tomorrow will be fine, today is actually fine, get married, blow and blow into the cave room, it's not a complicated thing, why wait so long?"
Under normal circumstances, Zhong Heng always avoids Xu Yanwei, he is now the prime minister, and he is fighting for his future fame and deeds, and he does not want to renew his old relationship with any woman, but since he was stopped, he can only deal with it head-on.
"Well, ten days is already in a hurry, a princess is a princess after all, and you can't be too hasty. ”
"You don't understand what I mean?" Xu Yan's eyes widened slightly, as if the other party had made a low-level mistake.
"You...... What's the point?" Zhong Heng wondered in his heart, how could the ruthless Dragon King trust such a woman.
But after a few words, he had to thank the woman for the reminder.
Xu Yan bit his lip slightly and hesitated for a while, then whispered, "Don't tell others that this is the news I revealed." ”
"You haven't said anything. ”
"I'm afraid that a few days late, the princess won't even be able to save her life. ”
"Why? You mean the Jinpeng Killer? Don't worry, the Dragon King has been prepared. ”
The Dragon King and Princess Shiguo married in order to consolidate the relationship between the Great Snow Mountain and the Five Kingdoms of Xiaoyaohai, and Shangguan Jianyi naturally wanted to find ways to destroy it, Zhong Heng had expected this.
"What is a Jinpeng killer. Xu Yan pursed her lips slightly disdainfully, as if she had thwarted countless assassinations, "I'm talking about the people around the Dragon King." ”
"The people around the Dragon King? What nonsense are you talking about, is Fang Wen right? What else does he dare to think of the princess? Forgive him for not having the ability to do this. ”
"Oh, you are such a smart person, how can you be as stupid as a pig today. ”
Zhong Heng sank his face, this is one of the reasons why he avoided Xu Yanwei, this woman has probably been in the fireworks alley for too long, and often can't tell the difference between the upper and lower levels, fortunately, there is no one else around, otherwise his face as a dignified prime minister of a country will be lost.
"If you have something to say, I'm still busy. ”
Xu Yanwei really didn't want to reveal the secret by herself, but men are always too numb to this kind of thing, and all they think about every day is to kill hundreds of thousands of people, but they ignore the nearest people around them, so she has to check on behalf of the Dragon King, "Lotus girl." ”
As soon as these two words came out, Xu Yanwei immediately looked around nervously, the women who had a relationship with the Dragon King, she all had the greatest kindness, only the Lotus Girl was an exception, as early as a few years ago, when the Dragon King was still a slave, she always felt that the Lotus Girl was weird, no matter how close she was, she was even a little scared.
After the reunion, the two had only seen each other a few times, but Xu Yanwei's fear was even stronger, almost to the extent that the princess was afraid of the Dragon King.
"Lotus girl, she's not with the Dragon King, she's probably on a mission. Zhong Heng was even more puzzled, the Dragon King's personal female guards not only had magical martial arts, but also their loyalty was obvious to all, and the Dragon King's personal safety was already explained by itself.
The Lotus Girl returned to Biyu City to gather the disciples of Xiaoyue Hall, and no one knew about this matter except Gu Shenwei.
"I know that she is not here, so I have to get married early, and when she comes back, I am afraid that the family will not be able to get married, and she will have to die. ”
"No way, you want to say that the lotus girl is jealous, right? No way, she's a killer, impossible, impossible. Zhong Heng shook his head again and again, and he didn't believe Xu Yanwei's words anymore.
Xu Yan was slightly anxious, and revealed the secret in his heart, "What is impossible, when the Dragon King asked for marriage, she sent someone to assassinate the princess, if it weren't for me, ......"
Zhong Heng was taken aback, he knew a little about the things at that time, and remembered that the assassin seemed to be the little girl next to the Dragon King, "Don't talk nonsense, the Dragon King trusts the Lotus Girl very much, and trusts him with his life." ”
Xu Yan stomped her feet angrily, when Tie Linglong assassinated the princess, she was at the scene, and it was she who fought hard to save the princess's life.
Tie Linglong didn't say anything after she was caught, but Xu Yanwei guessed everything, and the things that men couldn't see through were clear in her eyes.
"Believe it or not, anyway, I reminded you, if you want to get married in peace, just hurry up and wait for the Dutch girl to come back...... You can do it. ”
Zhong Heng left the city and returned to the barracks with doubts, and the moment he saw the Dragon King, he began to believe Xu Yanwei's words.
He has always looked at the Dragon King with the standard and vision of dominating the world, and took it for granted that the Dragon King does not care about women and wealth, and in the past relationship between the two, the Dragon King has indeed shown strong self-control.
Even if the Dragon King was open to the children of the Dubu King, not only did he not kill him, but also took him with him, Zhong Heng did not take the rumors of the Dragon King and Shangguan Ru seriously, but felt that the Dragon King could give up simple revenge, which was a sign of maturity.
Thinking about Xu Yanwei's reminder all the way, and seeing the face of the Dragon King again, Zhong Heng suddenly realized what he was wrong about: the Dragon King was still a young man.
Gu Shenwei was looking at the map, and asked without raising his head, "Is there any trouble?"
"No, everything went well. ”
"That's good, we have enough trouble, Shangguan Jianyi hasn't left Shiguo, he's still there. ”
"Someone has been killed again?" Zhong Heng became nervous, regretting that he had brought too few guards when he entered the city just now.
"Not yet, I guess. ”
Of course, the Dragon King doesn't guess out of thin air.
Most of the spies hiding in the barracks were beheaded in public, and a few were imprisoned, revealing a lot of information.
There is a knife owner who frequently appears in confessions, but among the many spies who have been caught, there is no figure of him, Gu Shenwei guesses that this person is the pseudonymous Shangguan Jianyi.
Shangguan Jianyi not only personally planned and commanded a series of rebellion and assassination operations, but was also particularly interested in the origins of various armies, especially the soldiers of the country of incense, and even talked to some of them personally.
"Shangguan Jianyi won't leave, he thinks that my army is unstable, and there is no need for 50,000 troops, as long as he provokes it, he can make it fall apart. He is as short of money as killers, so the war has already begun, and he will soon strike again. ”
Money breeds greed, and killers breed fear, both of which are fertile ground for division and betrayal.
"Hmm. Zhong Heng felt that the Dragon King's analysis was very reasonable, so he took advantage of the situation to make a suggestion, "In this way, the marriage between the Dragon King and the princess is a bit dangerous, and Shangguan Jianyi definitely doesn't want to see the marriage between Shi Guo and Daxue Mountain." Why don't you have a big wedding tomorrow? ”
Gu Shenwei raised his head, glanced at Zhong Heng, lowered his head and continued to look at the map, "Thinking of reasons temporarily, this is not your habit." ”
Zhong Heng knew that he couldn't hide it any longer, the Dragon King was keen-eyed and suspicious by nature, and his words hidden out of kindness and politeness were likely to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
"I heard...... There is someone around the dragon king...... I don't like the princess very much, and I ...... about this marriage Please forgive the Dragon King for my many mouths. ”
Gu Shenwei raised his head again, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and Zhong Heng hurriedly stopped.
"There is no problem with the people around me. There are some things that Gu Shenwei doesn't plan to share with Zhong Heng, "As for the wedding date, you can look at it." ”
Zhong Heng's heart was relieved, and he decided to advance the marriage, and he was also a little nervous when he thought of the lotus girl.
