She mercilessly exposed the fig leaf of the courtiers present, making them furious. However, before they could continue to denounce her, another voice with a cold and lazy voice reached their ears like a bone-breaking voice.
"Just now, your silence is golden. Now you are talking and arguing with the widow who just completed the autopsy for the general. You have forgotten who you are and where you stand, right?"
This was said by Yuan Xingzhou.
If Zheng Quchi's words stabbed their fragile self-esteem, then His Highness the Crown Prince's words crushed their faces and the little bit of bravado they had worked so hard to maintain into powder.
The courtiers of Ye State were speechless and looked instantly embarrassed. They wanted to say something, but they didn't know what they could say. Most of the courtiers in the capital who are standing here are still aware of their shame, but so what, can they change the current stormy and turbulent situation in Ye country?
Even King Ye and Queen Ye were afraid, let alone them. Apart from being patient, retreating, lowering their bodies to beg for mercy, and begging other countries to temporarily let them go, they didn't know what else they could do to save Ye State...
Who doesn’t want to be a good person with his head held high, and who is willing to kneel down if he can stand? But they don't have that ability at all now. They can only behave based on other people's faces, trembling and fearful.
Zheng Quchi could guess the emotions and thoughts expressed by their silence at this moment without asking. She had seen before at the night banquet how much strength these people still had in their hearts.
They feel sorry for themselves and indulge in negative and powerless emotions. She can understand it, because in her world, a great literary gentleman once said that a slave will forget how to stand up after kneeling for too long, and a nation that has knelt for too long will forget how to stand up. , even standing up is afraid of heights.
Therefore, it is difficult to resist the oppression and bullying, but if it is to bully and belittle people like them, it is much easier. It is as easy as having the words and the hands.
"General She laughs like this because he feels that my general talent in Ye Kingdom is withering and I have no one to fight with, or because I am a womanly person and am not worthy of a showdown with you?" Zheng Quchi asked calmly.
She Kou's thoughts were finally revealed by Zheng Quchi. Her gentle and calm tone could not conceal the determination and uncompromise contained in her words.
He looked over and was attracted by the perseverance in her eyes as thick as mountains. She was neither arrogant nor impetuous. Standing there, she formed a strong contrast with the officials in this hall.
Her green peaks are tall and straight, her cliffs are shining, and she is bright and bright. She stands in the sun, but they are like the western mountains at dusk, heading towards darkness and decline, without any vitality and vitality.
However, seeing such a powerful Zheng Quchi did not make She Kou appreciate it. As an enemy, he was not happy to see anyone in the Ye Kingdom having an unyielding will. Seeing such a person, he just wanted to suppress him. Completely destroyed.
He said: "Zheng Quchi, no matter how good you are, you can't fight on the battlefield like a man, even if it's just a Six Nations military test and not a real battlefield, let alone..."
She Kou's tone slowly became more serious, and his eyes narrowed with a fierce look: "I don't believe that anyone else in your country of Ye except Yu Wensheng can defeat the giant deer. You should give up. Yu Wensheng's corpse will only become a giant deer." A sacrifice made under the hatred of the country, he will not have a good death during his lifetime, and will not be reincarnated after death. Even if there is an afterlife, he will be reduced to a beast, and he will be degraded to the third world."
In Ye State, according to traditional customs, relatives after death have to be transported back to their hometown, held a funeral ceremony and buried underground, so that the deceased can feel comfort. If the deceased is not buried, the relatives will not feel at ease. The so-called burial is peace. Fallen Leaves Return to Their Roots has a profound impact on their beliefs.
And Yu Wensheng no longer has any close relatives in this world. No one will care about where he will be buried in the end or how his body will be ruined...
Yuan Xingzhou's raven-black eyelashes covered his eyes that were motionless like a dead person, his face expressionless and indifferent.
——But, who said there is no such thing?
"How dare you!" Zheng Quchi finally couldn't bear it anymore, his eyes were red with anger, and he turned into the sharpest sword: "You can kill people with no more than a nod, do you really want to do this to such an extreme extent? But nothing will happen. As you wish,
Because he still has my wife, if you destroy him, I will support him. If you want him not to be reincarnated, I will make him a golden statue of the God of War, let the eminent monks pray for him, and worship him with incense every day. The country of Ye always received his kindness, and those who were not ungrateful built a tower of merit for him to accumulate blessings for him in the next life. "
Her words were sonorous and powerful, extremely heavy, and the power from deep within her heart was loud and deafening.
Yuan Xingzhou suddenly looked at her, his cold and deep eyes were slightly widened, and there seemed to be a blurry and swaying light in his eyes, like a small boat floating and swaying in the sea of mist.
When the other ministers heard that She Kou planned to humiliate Yu Wensheng's body in front of them, they naturally felt depressed and angry. This came from the fact that the other party did not take Ye Guo seriously at all, so they dared to stand against them. They are still so arrogant and talk nonsense without any scruples.
The words of the general's wife really shocked them.
This shock not only comes from the words she said, but also from her brave heart.
The words spoken by the other party were so poisonous that it was difficult for anyone to stay calm after listening to them. They could only feel their whole body trembling and gritting their teeth. People with weaker hearts might have broken their guard on the spot, but the general's wife was like an indestructible guardian. Or, she intended to use her weak body to shield her late husband from the wind and rain, to protect him against all harm.
Ever since she stepped into this hall, everything she said, deeded, and moved came from her heart. She never backed down in fear of difficulties. She is a little woman, and any big man in the room is taller than her. But when they were silent, when they were so angry that they still dared not speak out, her voice was the only one that was deafening.
At this time, a sentence came to everyone's mind - if you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for.
Seeing that she wanted to snatch the body directly in the main hall, Yuan Xingzhou finally intervened. He stretched out his hand to hold Zheng Quchi and asked her to calm down first.
"The reason for General She's refusal is simply that the bet is not attractive enough. I am willing to raise the bet for the general's wife. Are you willing to compete with me?"
He stepped in front of Zheng Quchi and looked at She Kou, while Zheng Quchi looked at Yuan Xingzhou's side face in astonishment.
She didn't expect that he would intervene at this time. It was clear that King Ye had made his attitude clear, and Yu Wensheng's body was left to the people of the Julu Kingdom to dispose of, but had he thought about the consequences of saying such a thing?
She Kou's sight that was originally glaring at Zheng Quchi was blocked, and he had to look at Yuan Xingzhou.
Yuan Xingzhou, the eldest prince of King Ye, was named the crown prince of Ye Kingdom when he was born. It was reported that he had been missing for nearly sixteen years and was only found recently.
She Kou didn't take such a prince who grew up among the people at all. He felt that there was an inexplicable ambiguity between him and the general's wife. He defended her so much that he even negotiated with him on her behalf. , he mocked: "More, what can His Royal Highness come up with to impress this general?"
Yuan Xingzhou made a bet that the other party could not refuse: "How about Yan Cheng?"
When She Kou heard this, he was startled at first, and then his eyes widened in surprise: "Yancheng?"
"If the Ye Kingdom loses this time in the Six Kingdoms Trial, then His Highness will separate Yancheng into the Julu Kingdom. What does General She think?" The words coming out of Yuan Xingzhou's indifferent and light-colored lips were like nails. , sentence after sentence, no nonsense.
But his proposal caused an explosion among the ministers in the DPRK.
Who told you to suggest this?
The cabinet minister exclaimed: "Your Highness!"
"Your Highness, does the Holy One know about your decision?" The ministers were frightened.
Some stubborn ministers angrily retorted: "Your Majesty, Yancheng is so important to our country of Ye, how can you use it to trade casually?"
However, Yuan Xingzhou only glanced at their loud and denounced objections, and imitated what they were best at: dandyism and using power to bully others: "My eldest son is the supervisor of the country. Except for my father, no one can speak against this palace." decision."
hiss!
They gasped.
It's over, the country of Ye is really over.
A faint-hearted King of Ye had just fallen ill, and before they had time to hope, an even more mischievous prince came. What hope could they have in the Ye Kingdom?
Just destroy them, they are so tired.
The courtiers now looked hopeless and could no longer dissuade him.
Seeing this, She Kou thought that he would be stupid if he didn't agree at this time.
"Okay, Your Majesty, Your Highness, since you dare to make such bold words, how can I, the general, fail to help you? Then the matter is settled! Everyone in the palace is here to testify. The Six Kingdoms are testing their troops. If the Ye Kingdom If we win, we, the Julu Kingdom, will return Yu Wensheng’s body to the Ye Kingdom. If we, the Julu Kingdom, win, then your Ye Kingdom will hand over Yancheng.”
Seeing She Kou's overjoyed look, Yuan Xingzhou's watery pupils revealed a strange look: "Okay."
etc……
How did the two of them achieve this at once?
Zheng Quchi originally thought that she needed to fight alone, but she ignored that there was Yuan Xingzhou next to her. At this moment, he was willing to make such a huge investment in order to achieve her wish? !
"I can't tell that the Crown Prince is a person who doesn't love the country but loves beauty, hahahahaha..."
Before leaving the main hall, She Kou glanced at Zheng Quchi and Yuan Xingzhou, left these meaningful words, and left with a smile.
Almost all the ministers in the court left angrily after this incident. Those who complained went to complain, and those who complained went to report. Those who gathered to complain and vent their grievances made an appointment in a secret tea room. When everyone dispersed, there was only one person left in the palace. Let’s leave Zheng Quchi and Yuan Xingzhou.
Only then did Zheng Quchi relax his tense body. She asked him, "If you do this, will King Ye agree?"
"Yancheng is the fiefdom he gave me. Your Highness has the right to make your own decisions. Besides... you won't let me lose, right?" He was not at all nervous about the scene just now. The only time he changed his expression was, It was also because of her "true confession" that built her golden body and cultivated her merits.
Zheng Quchi: "..."
She wanted to say that she was not sure whether he would go crazy and strangle her to death on the spot.
It can be said that Yuan Xingzhou is a very qualified ally. He will always stand by her side and support her at all costs. Zheng Quchi is deeply pleased with his wise decision.
To be honest, she was really not sure about winning. After all, fighting was really not her strong point, not even a side job.
But - she promised Yuan Xingzhou: "If you lose, I will bear all the consequences with you."
Yuan Xingzhou seemed to see the uncertainty, worry and desperate determination in her heart. He said, "Don't worry, I won't let you lose."
His deep pool-like eyes gradually revealed a hint of soft light.
Seeing how confident he was, she was a little embarrassed to hit him.
She followed his words and said, "Well, let's just try our best together."
But her attitude puzzled Yuan Xingzhou: "Just now in front of She Kou, you were so anxious about Yu Wensheng's body. Now you are so casual, so you are no longer anxious?"
When he mentioned this, Zheng Quchi looked at the place where the black coffin had been placed. The black coffin containing Yu Wensheng's body had been taken away by the people from the Julu Kingdom as a bargaining chip, leaving only an empty space: "It's urgent."
"Then why don't you have confidence?"
Because according to the relevant information provided by Wei Bu and Wang Zebang, it is very difficult for the improvised soldiers and crab generals of Ye country to defeat the elite soldiers of other countries.
"This is what I thought. It would be best if I could win. If I lose in the end, I still have plan two. I will steal. If I can't steal, I will implement plan three. If I can't steal, I will rob. Anyway, I will I tried to find a way to get Yu Wensheng's body back, but now it involves the whole situation and you, I..."
Before she could say anything, Yuan Xingzhou suddenly interrupted her and asked a digression: "You care so much about your husband's body. You must have been very loving as a couple when he was alive, right?"
Loving?
This word never seems to belong
Both of them.
"I'm actually not good to him... I don't know how to get along with him most of the time. I'm... quite afraid of him, you know? Sometimes I often have nightmares, dreaming that I'm falling a lot. The dark cliff and the feeling of weightlessness are particularly scary..."
When Yuan Xingzhou heard this, his mandible tightened, his Adam's apple moved, and he asked softly, "Why?"
Zheng Quchi also tried hard to explore her inner thoughts and said with a wry smile: "Maybe it's because I don't believe him..."
"Why don't you believe him?"
"I once heard about a woman who raised a python. They were very close to each other and even shared the same bed and quilt. But one day after the python became an adult, she discovered that it had mutated. Because the python suddenly stopped eating and drinking, and would lie next to her every day and stretch out its body, the woman felt strange, so she went to ask some people who specialized in raising snakes, but this question scared her. "
