Zheng Quchi had become accustomed to Mujin Dog being unable to spit out ivory, but he didn't expect that the queen of Ye State, a majestic king and a role model for all women in the country, would actually speak nonsense and nonsense.
"Mrs. Yuwen Zheng, if you are not willing to assist His Royal Highness to participate in the Six Nations Military Examination, I will not force you to do so. However, as the wife of a general of a country, you do not have half of his fighting spirit and courage to serve the country. If you want to steal half a day's leisure, that's up to you, but you must hand over the military power of the Four Elephants Army. They belong to the Ye Kingdom, and you can be considered as dedicating yourself to the country."
After listening to Bo Ji's words, Zheng Quchi sneered. Isn't this just pure moral kidnapping? And force her to choose one of the two?
It was natural for her to inherit the "inheritance" left by her deceased husband to settle down and live a life, but when it came to the words of this step-queen, she became a person who only took advantage of others and took advantage of her. Reality.
A cabinet minister, Mr. Li, stood up and said, "Mr. Yuwen Zheng, I have been with your husband for many years and have watched him grow up. Please express your opinion in front of everyone tonight. Six Kingdoms" It is no small matter to test the troops. If you feel that you are not able to bear the heavy responsibility, please resign as soon as possible and hand over the military power."
Someone secretly looked at the faces of Wei and Wang and tried to smooth things over: "Mrs. Yuwen, you'd better hand over your military power and go back to your hometown to get married and spend your old age in peace. You, a woman, can't understand the things on this battlefield. If you If you like woodcraft, carve birds and animals, and repair tables and chairs, wouldn’t this kind of life be more relaxed and comfortable?”
These members of Bo Ji's party couldn't come with force, so they started to put pressure on Zheng Quchi.
Generally speaking, they rely on a general principle: if they don't do their job, they will not do it. If they want to do their job, they will do their job.
If she wanted to successfully "inherit" the Four Elephant Army, she would use some skills to convince everyone.
If she does not intend to serve the country, then an ordinary woman and child holding a large number of soldiers is a private armed force. Not only will it attract criticism, but it will also be suspected of rebellion and treason in the Ye country.
Neutral officials don't know how to speak out.
They also disapproved of Yuwen Zheng's taking over the post of adjutant of the Six Nations Trials. Isn't it nonsense to ask such a weak woman to go to the battlefield?
What does she know?
Oh, just because she knows how to play with some wooden things, will she build a cart or a house to be trampled and destroyed by the enemy?
In fact, as long as Mrs. Yuwen and Zheng refused on the spot, the matter would be settled. It was expected that with the three families of Wang, Wei, and Liu around, Empress Ye would not dare to do anything to her.
But if she refuses directly without a reason, it will be untenable. I am afraid that she will be surrounded by all kinds of rumors next.
Everyone is waiting for Zheng Quchi's decision, including Wang Zebang, Wei Yao and others, but some people are maliciously adding to the flames and watching her suffer. Some people are dark-minded and don't know her thoughts. Some people think she is mediocre and incompetent and hope she can be smart. Some refused directly, while others hoped that she would obey her wishes and die in battle.
As for Wang Zebang and Wei Yao, they do not want it to become a political game tool, but they know that they are in this whirlpool. The more they try to avoid it, the more they will be dragged deeper by its influence.
This was the first time that Zheng Quchi felt so many malicious eyes with different emotions focused on her, sticky, cold, sharp, and shadowy... Before coming, Yuan Xingzhou told her to take a good look at the court officials of Ye State. What a face.
At that time, she thought Yuan Xingzhou was talking about the fact that these people were very deep and hidden, and a rookie like her who had just entered the court would definitely be eaten to the bone.
But only now did she fully understand that what Yuan Xingzhou was saying was that the foundation of the Ye Kingdom began to rot from these people. They were snobbish, sought good fortune and avoided misfortune, and even aided the evil and betrayed the country and the people...
In their eyes, there is no national justice, no well-being of the people, no economic development, no national defense and revitalization, only lingering and begging for mercy.
Looking at King Ye and them, if the entire upper class rulers of Ye State were so corrupt, no one would think that this country would have hope.
Yuan Xingzhou saw that her soft and clear eyes were calm and unruffled at this time when she was facing the pressure of everyone, but
If you can delve deeper into it, you will find that there is a stubborn and immortal flame growing among the thorns.
After concentrating for a moment, the corners of Yuan Xingzhou's mouth curled up slightly.
It seems that she has made a decision.
Sure enough, after Zheng Quchi took a deep breath, her lungs seemed to be filled with a powerful force, and she turned this power into words and said: "It is duty-bound for Zheng Quchi to serve the country."
Without any complicated language, without any complicated and beautiful reasons, and without any hesitation and sophistry, although there were many "paths" in front of her, her eyes were always focused on the one she wanted to go back to. .
Everything that was originally noisy at the night banquet finally slowly settled into another solemn, startling, and indescribable atmosphere.
This statement is quite similar to what the eldest prince said before.
One does his part.
An obligatory one.
However, it's still different.
Many people were surprised that she would agree, including Bo Ji. Zheng Quchi had the support of Wang, Wei, and Liu, so even if he refused on the spot, there would be no problem.
Even if she could continue her arrogant attitude after the encounter, no one could really do anything to her.
But in the face of hard and soft coercion, overt and covert robbery from all sides, she did not choose any relatively easy response, but agreed to the most dangerous and troublesome thing among them.
Yuan Chuhua stared at Zheng Quchi blankly. Does she know what she is doing?
She looked at Wei Yao again, her brows furrowed, and she felt a strange feeling in her heart.
What kind of expression does he have? Sentiment, helplessness, relief... It seemed that she had expected this answer, but since he had already guessed it, why didn't he stop her?
"Okay, Mrs. Yuwen is really brave. Guo Guo really doesn't give in to men, hahahaha..." Mu Jin laughed out loud, as if he was very satisfied with the result. He had already seen enough of the show at the night banquet and was satisfied. After feeling his stomach, he stood up and said, "Zheng Quchi, let's meet at the Six Nations Military Test Field."
Mu Jin laughed wildly and happily and left.
Hou Feiqing also left the table at this time. When he walked to Zheng Quchi, they were both about the same height. Under his white eyebrows, even his eyeballs were light silver gray: "I've heard about you, Zheng Quchi. Nice to meet you."
"Where have you heard of me?" Zheng Quchi asked.
Hou Feiqing had no intention of saying anything more: "Zheng Quchi, I am looking forward to fighting with you."
Zheng Quchi could tell that unlike Mu Jin's mocking tone, this Hou Feiqing was serious... Seriously taking her as his opponent? !
Even she herself didn't believe that such a long-established warrior would expect anything from an outsider like her.
After Mujin and Hou Feiqing both left the banquet, Shen Tangzhong was no longer interested in continuing to attend the banquet. He deliberately approached Zheng Quchi and passed her. His smiling eyes changed in vain, and his fierceness was revealed. He whispered The voice transmission said: "Zheng Quchi, I have no chance to cripple your husband this time, so you are destined to become your husband's substitute."
Zheng Quchi turned his face suddenly, his eyes sharpening instantly.
But before she could take action, Yuan Xingzhou, who was beside her, had already put a palm on Shen Tangzhong's shoulder.
Shen Tangzhong's eyebrows turned cold and he looked up. ..
Yuan Xingzhou's dark pupils were as quiet and mysterious as the night, and the light coming out of them was elusive. When he looked at him quietly, there seemed to be a ghastly ghost screaming inside the black hole, making his hair stand on end.
"General Shen, please walk slowly. I heard that General Shen likes to compete with others in Hongsheng Kingdom. He must be top-notch in martial arts. It's rare for you to come to Ye Kingdom, and I would like to compete with you to show off our friendship as a landlord."
Shen Tangzhong's throat suddenly tightened. He was very surprised. Before he could react, he felt a wave of palm wind coming at him that was unusually strong. After hurriedly avoiding it, the opponent kept attacking before he could even shout to stop.
His palm technique is very strange. When it is swept, it is soft and weak. It seems to be easy to avoid normally, but when it touches the area around the body, it becomes unusually cold and thick, as if it is wrapped in a weapon.
A cold and freezing snowstorm.
Shen Tangzhong was not good at fists and kicks, and he had no weapons that he was good at. The two of them fought back and forth for several times, attacking and hiding, avoiding and chasing each other. They fought with fists and kicks.
"Your Highness, this is a banquet in the palace, not a fighting arena. Enough is enough!" Bo Ji shouted to stop.
After a stalemate, they both stopped at the same time.
Shen Tangzhong flicked his wrist and said angrily: "His Royal Highness, he is hiding his secrets."
Yuan Xingzhou was breathless and his heart was not beating. Leng Yan's eyes were dull: "No better than General Shen."
Shen Tangzhong snorted coldly, and when Bo Ji hurriedly stepped forward to open his mouth, she saw him flicking his sleeves and walking out for more than ten steps, leaving everyone at the banquet behind. However, as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the hall, he suddenly stumbled. Such a strong and mighty man fell to the ground like a three-year-old child and did not stand up for a long time.
Hou Feiqing, who was not far ahead, took a look, and a dark light flashed across his eyes, but he quickly pretended not to see it, turned around and continued walking.
Shen Jin also saw it, and surprise flashed across his face, but the three of them had no friendship to begin with. Even if Shen Tangzhong died, he probably wouldn't be worried or nervous. On the contrary, he was so embarrassed that Shen Tangzhong fell in public and made such an ugly appearance. He also reminded him "kindly": "General Shen, the roads in Ye Palace are slippery, you have to be careful, hahahaha..."
Bo Ji exclaimed with eyes wide open, and rushed forward quickly with the support of the palace maid: "General Shen!"
The other ministers were also in panic, fearing that Shen Tangzhong had been plotted or poisoned during the night banquet. None of them could bear this responsibility.
Zheng Quchi was also confused. She looked at each other with Wei Yao and Wang Zebang. Finally, she looked up at Yuan Xingzhou next to her with feeling, and asked in a low voice: "What's going on?"
Yuan Xingzhou looked ahead and saw Bo Ji leading people forward to check. When the ministers were about to help Shen Tangzhong up, Shen Tangzhong gritted his teeth and threw him away. Standing up with sweat on his head: "General, I have nothing to do, please get out of here!"
Everyone was startled by his ferocious roar and couldn't help but disperse.
He finally stood up straight, but he was limping when he walked, in great pain. Before leaving, he turned his head and glared at Yuan Xingzhou, his eyes full of cold anger. , today he made himself lose such a big person, and Shen Zhitang will remember this grudge!
Let’s meet later and look forward to it!
"What on earth did you do?" Zheng Quchi knew from Shen Zhitang's last look that it was Yuan Xingzhou who had done it, but how did he maim Shen Zhitang in full view of everyone?
Yuan Xingzhou slowly withdrew his gaze, met Zheng Quchi's curious and bright eyes, and secretly admired in his heart, indeed, such a bright and cheerful color is more suitable for these eyes.
His pale face showed two bright red colors, as if he was telling her a secret, he said softly: "I caused forty-six bones in his body to be dislocated. Every time he took a step, the position of the dislocated bones would change. The twisting of the position brought about the pain of grinding bones. If he wanted to return to normal, he could only reattach these bones one by one, and in the process, the pain of broken bones would repeat itself over and over again."
Zheng Quchi was numb and shocked when he heard it. It was so cruel, but at the same time, it was also very satisfying!
Sure enough, being close to the Zhu family makes her red, and being close to the Mo family is black. Being close to these perverted and yandere people, her current moral level is not as high as before.
She looked at him with admiration, grinned, and silently shouted - 666.
As I said a long time ago, evil people will have their own troubles.
The smile on her lips paused, and some emotion flashed quickly in her eyes, but it was fleeting.
"Yuan Xingzhou, what exactly did you do to General Shen? Do you know what kind of disaster you will cause if you do this?" Bo Ji turned around and said angrily.
Yuan Xingzhou faced the angry glares of the crowd and calmly responded: "A big disaster? You mean, if you offend Shen Tangzhong, their Hongsheng Kingdom may attack Ye Kingdom? Then you don't have to worry. This palace can tell you for sure that it is not possible. , but absolutely, just after this Six Nations military test."
Bo Ji sneered at his words
No, there was no surprise or fear, as if she had done something secretly.
At this time Zheng Quchi added another sentence for him: "Why do you say that His Highness the Crown Prince did what happened in Shen Hall? Do you have any evidence?"
evidence?
Of course there is none.
The two of them were fighting till the end, and no one was hit, nor did they vomit blood or injure their muscles or bones. Logically speaking, Shen Tangzhong shouldn't be like this, but the fact is that after this sudden fight, Shen Tangzhong was so distraught. His limbs were out of balance and he fell to the ground.
She glanced at Zheng Quchi and Yuan Xingzhou, her red lips were stained with blood, and her words were like a sharp edge: "Then let's leave this matter aside for the time being, but if the prince and Mrs. Yuwen have agreed to test the troops of the Six Nations, Then three days later, when Chun is searching the hunting ground, I, together with the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, will be waiting for you two to finally win the battle."
You two, just go crazy and laugh now. When the Six Nations test their troops, I will definitely kill you without a place to die!
"Since my son has such ambitions, my father will definitely support you."
Suddenly a hoarse and hoarse voice sounded not far away, and at the same time, accompanied by the sound of heavy wood pressing, a dozen strong men were seen carrying a specially customized large bamboo sedan. Covered by a layer of black gauze, on top of the translucent gauze lay King Ye, who was lying like mud.
Is he actually King Ye? !
