When Liu Mingzhi heard this, he played with the tea cup in his hand without any panic.
He gently walked to the side of the Queen, almost in line with her, but judging from the position of her footsteps, she was still a little bit behind.
Although he was the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, Liu Mingzhi was not qualified to stand with the emperor.
Not being afraid is one thing, but having rules is another.
Liu Mingzhi still understands that there is no rule without rules. It is a good thing to be proud, but you must clearly define your position.
Otherwise, sooner or later, you will be killed.
Pride and arrogance are two completely different states of mind.
"Your Majesty, the minister did offend me unintentionally..."
"Blasphemy!"
"Well, the minister did unintentionally blaspheme against you, but I hope you can understand one thing. Compared with the minister's minor faults, the rebels surrounded by enemies outside the capital are the most serious problem for His Majesty."
The Queen looked sideways at Liu Mingzhi: "So what?"
Liu Mingzhi smiled lightly: "So, let's not say that the ministers really don't know how to build new weapons. Even though the ministers know the skills and informed your majesty, there are dangers outside the city now. If you are not careful, the city will be destroyed and people will die. , the country is in danger of collapse, but your Majesty is concerned about some military preparations. Now, shouldn't your Majesty be more worried about how to defend the city and preserve the world?"
The Queen's thin lips pressed together gently: "You are right, but isn't it you? You will help me defend the city."
Liu Mingzhi's brows knitted together in embarrassment. He looked at the calm queen beside him and couldn't figure out why she was so sure that he would help her defend the city.
"Your Majesty, are you kidding? The capital is your Majesty's capital, not the capital of the ministers. The world is your majesty's world, not the ministers' world. As the envoy of the dragon, the ministers help your majesty defend the city. Isn't this a big joke?"
"You can, how about a bet?"
The queen ignored Liu Mingzhi, who was a little dazed, and turned around and returned to the tower. She took the telescope that had just been buckled on the table and handed it to Liu Mingzhi's hand again.
Liu Mingzhi took the telescope from the Queen's hand and looked at the Queen cautiously: "What are you betting on?"
"It's a bet on whether you can help me defend the city."
"How to bet?"
"If you defeat me, I want the technology of all kinds of dragons and new equipment. If I defeat you, I will leave it to you. Everything in the Kingdom of Jin is at your disposal, including me."
The Queen looked at Liu Mingzhi, who was a little stunned, with an expression that was neither sad nor happy.
"Your Majesty, your wishful thinking is too good. Your defeat of the Jin Kingdom has nothing to do with your Majesty. Even if you are your Majesty, to be disrespectful, even if you are your Majesty, you are just a king who has subjugated your country. This gambling capital is in a state of inequality, Your Majesty must not treat your ministers as fools."
"What? My body of ten thousand gold is not as good as the skills of Dalong's new weapons?"
"It's comparable. It's comparable now. Who can say for sure in the future?"
Liu Mingzhi looked at the Queen and his tone was neither salty nor cold, but what he said was quite pertinent.
A king who has subjugated his country is no different than a dog who has lost his family. Whether he can survive is a matter of doubt. Dalong's skills are priceless and there is no comparison at all.
"you........"
The Queen looked at Liu Mingzhi, who had a dull expression, angrily, and bit her silver teeth: "There are ten thousand Turkic horses outside the city. As long as you win, these ten thousand fine horses will immediately belong to the Dragon Mission. How about this bet?" ?”
Liu Mingzhi's heart trembled when he heard this. Tens of thousands of Turkic war horses is not a small number. A war horse shipped to Dalong for about 150 taels of silver is still priceless. Ten thousand war horses, let alone Liu Mingzhi, even if Even the Great Dragon Emperor Li Zheng would not despise him.
Liu Mingzhi wandered around and couldn't help but think to himself, weighing the pros and cons. Where did the Queen get the courage to think that she would definitely help her defend the city?
Could it be that if her envoy and others left the city, the Queen would go to great lengths and leave all 2,000 members of the Dalong Envoy to be buried with the people of the Jin Kingdom's capital?
If you think about it carefully, it is not impossible. If the country is destroyed, Emperor Dalong's anger because of the destruction of the mission will only be directed at the rebels who succeeded in their rebellion.
"Your Majesty, are you planning to threaten your ministers with the lives of two thousand brothers?"
"Brother Liu, I can guarantee that I will never touch a single hair of the dragon messenger of the mission."
Looking at the queen's bright and plain expression, Liu Mingzhi was confused and couldn't guess what the woman in front of him was thinking. Those bright and vast eyes were like an abyss, and he couldn't see what crisis was hidden inside.
"The skills of new equipment and ten thousand war horses, Liu Mingzhi really can't decide which one is more important at the moment."
Seeing the contemplative Queen Liu Mingzhi, a slight smile appeared on her lips: "Brother Liu, how are you? Do you dare to bet?"
"Bang Chen needs to think about it, okay?"
The Queen quietly stepped aside and said, "Brother Liu, please, I am waiting for Brother Liu's visit at any time."
Liu Mingzhi's eyes passed over the queen's face. Could it be that she thought that she was eager to go back to see the child and would definitely make a show of strength with the rebels outside the city?
As he walked gently down the stairs of the tower, Liu Mingzhi's heart felt like a mess.
All his previous speculations were overturned by the Queen's few words.
At this moment, Liu Mingzhi felt an indescribable feeling, as if he was being manipulated by the queen and could pinch himself at any time.
"Where does she have the confidence? Or is there some reason why I have to give in to her power?"
"Master Liu, are you okay? Didn't His Majesty punish you?"
Hui'er, who was guarding the stairs, saw Liu Mingzhi walking down the stairs and greeted him respectfully.
"It's okay! I still have some things to do, so I won't chat with Miss Hui'er."
"Master Liu, please go slowly. I won't send you far."
"Brother? Are you okay? Emperor Jin didn't make things difficult for you, right?"
"Master, it's all Liu Si's fault. If Liu Si didn't hide away, the young master wouldn't..."
Looking at Liu Si and Song Qing who looked worried, Liu Mingzhi felt warm in his heart and waved his hands gently: "I'm fine, don't worry, let's find a place to rest first."
Hui'er looked at the retreating figures of Liu Mingzhi and the others, and quietly walked up to the tower: "Your Majesty."
"Hui'er, come in."
"yes."
Hui'er walked into the tower. The queen was half-lying on a bed separated by a screen.
Hui'er stood aside for a long time, hesitant to speak, looking at the queen lying on the bed, looking like she wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask.
After half a cup of tea in the tower, the Queen let out a deep breath: "You seem to have something to say?"
"I haven't."
The Queen quietly sat on the bed and looked at Hui'er calmly: "Hui'er, no matter what you do for the sake of the world, it is never too much. I am not doing this for selfish reasons."
"I know."
"You still don't understand. Do you think I shouldn't plot against Liu Mingzhi?"
"Your Majesty has your own reasons for doing this. I dare not ask any more questions."
"Hui'er, even if I made a mistake, if I can benefit countless descendants in future generations, I would rather bear the infamy for the rest of my life."
"Whether it's a foolish king or a villain, Qing Shi is the most impartial. Let future generations judge everything."
"His Majesty.........."
"After I die, let the waves surge into the sky. What does it have to do with me?"
My wife is the best in the world
