"No, no, Princess Ruon, you are really beautiful, but I am already engaged to someone else!" Chen Xiaomu quickly defended.
"Engaged to someone else?" Ximen Ruoen was stunned. This was something she had never thought of.
"You, a majestic princess, can't be a concubine, right?" Chen Xiaomu smiled carefully.
"Whose girl are you engaged to be married to?" Ximen Ruo'en frowned slightly.
"This..." Chen Xiaomu couldn't say more. If he was engaged to Princess Su Xingran of Zheng Guoqingfeng, I guess even Ximen Ruoen wouldn't believe it. If he wanted Ximen Ruoen to believe it, he would have to add his own fake He was the sixth prince of Chen Kingdom, but in this way his identity was exposed again.
Seeing that Chen Xiaomu's words suddenly became hesitant, Ximen Ruoen smiled miserably, "I know, you don't want to marry me just because you are afraid that my status as a subjugated princess will drag you down!" After saying that, he turned around and staggered towards the bedroom.
As soon as Ximen Ruoen said this, a rush of blood rushed to Chen Xiaomu's forehead. He immediately turned to Ximen Ruoen's back and said with great pride, "Don't say that you, a subjugated princess, are dragging me down. There are ten or eight subjugated princesses." Come and drag me down! I'm not afraid either, I'll still make him turn upside down and be generous. If you don't believe me, just wait and see, if your country of E cannot recover, I'll cut off my head and play it as a ball for you!"
Ximen Ruoen turned around when he heard the sound and looked at Chen Xiaomu, "Then why don't you dare to marry me?"
Returning to this troublesome issue, Chen Xiaomu smiled awkwardly and reluctantly found an excuse, "Isn't this a war? I'm afraid that if you get burped that day, you will become a widow!"
"Then you lied to me about your engagement with another woman? Really?" Simon Ruon asked immediately.
"I'm really not lying to you!" Chen Xiaomu raised his hand and looked like he was swearing to God.
Simon Ruoen sighed, "Even if you are really engaged, aren't you still not married? You can just break off the engagement!"
"But we have already exchanged marriage certificates." Chen Xiaomu said.
Ximen Ruoen closed his eyes, lowered his head and pondered for a long time, then gritted his teeth and raised his head and said to Chen Xiaomu: "Since it is irreversible, I am willing to be a concubine!"
"What!" Chen Xiaomu stood up from the floor in shock, "You, a majestic princess, actually want to be my concubine?"
Ximen Ruoen smiled bitterly and said: "The day the E country fell, I was no longer a princess. Even if I regain my status as a princess in the future, I will never regret the decision I made today!"
"But, but, on such a big matter as taking a concubine, I have to ask for my wife's opinion, right? Besides, if you resume your status as a princess in the future, if people know that you, a noble princess of a country, are my concubine, this will Isn’t it too much of an impact on the country’s reputation?” Chen Xiaomu was really forced by Ximen Ruoen and racked his brains to collect a lot of reasons, hoping to convince Ximen Ruoen!
Simon Ruoen shook his head gently, "You don't need to ask your wife for permission. It is a natural thing for men to keep concubines these days. Because of successive years of war, men are being beaten less and less, and the population of each country is also getting smaller and smaller. , many countries have many ways to reward men for taking concubines. As for what you said will affect the country's reputation, at worst, I will not reinstate this princess' status!"
Chen Xiaomu really didn't withdraw now. Think about it, he should agree to Ximen Ruoen first, and then slowly find a way to solve this matter later. After all, he hasn't slept in the past two days and two nights, and he is almost sleepy to death.
Seeing Chen Xiaomu finally nodded in agreement, Ximen Ruoen began to feel happy. Seeing Chen Xiaomu lift the quilt and prepare to lie down to sleep, he was also busy undressing himself.
"Princess Ruoen, what are you doing?" Chen Xiaomu asked in surprise when he saw something was wrong.
"Sleep!" Simon Ruon answered naturally.
"Isn't the place where you sleep in Wang Yun's previous bedroom? Why are you taking off your clothes here?"
"Wang Yun is my father-killing enemy, can I sleep in the bed he slept on?" Ximen Ruoen pouted.
"Then let me go to sleep!" After Chen Xiaomu finished speaking, he was about to get up.
"You are not allowed to sleep either." Ximen Ruoen opened his arms and hugged Chen Xiaomu.
"No, Princess Ruoen, you don't want to sleep! Why don't you let me go to sleep?" Chen Xiaomu struggled in Ximen Ruoen's arms.
Ximen Ruoen lay next to Chen Xiaomu's ear and whispered: "Because you are my man from now on, Wang Yun is my enemy and your enemy! And don't call me Princess Ruoen in the future, when others are present Call me Ruon, just call me wife when we are alone, even if you are a bitch!"
"Bitch?" Chen Xiaomu cried out.
Simon Ruon nodded, "I like your name like that, it makes us look more like a couple."
When he woke up the next morning, Chen Xiaomu wanted to strangle himself. Last night, he finally failed to resist the temptation of Ximen Ruoen and did something embarrassing. He always felt sorry for Su Xingran. In order to express his guilt, he and Ximen Ruoen stayed together last night. While doing this, he apologized to Su Xingran in his heart, but what made him feel strange was that Ximen Ruoen's breasts were usually not revealing, but when he untied them, they turned out to be even plumper than Su Xingran's. After a night of passion, Chen Xiaomu felt sorry for Su Xingran in his heart. The feeling of guilt was getting stronger and stronger, but it happened that Ximen Ruoen pestered him to go to the street to customize women's clothing for her after breakfast.
Unlike Chen Xiaomu's small town of Xinhe, where information is blocked, the countries outside have been as lively as a pot in the past two days. In fact, in ancient times, the fastest way to transmit information was not the 800-mile express, but the flying pigeon. Passing a message, an 800-mile sprint with horses and people changing over the course of the day and night can only cover 600 kilometers, which is pretty good. A well-trained high-level flying pigeon can fly thousands of kilometers a day and a night, but the news usually comes back from flying pigeons. It is relatively simple, often only a few lines of words, and you know what happened. Babaili Jiji not only knows what happened, but also knows the whole process of what happened. This is incomparable to Fei Ge's letter.
The news that Chu's 300,000-strong army was almost completely destroyed in Tianquan County was the first country to reach its mother country, Chu. When Prime Minister Shi Lei took off the anklet from the homing pigeon's foot and took out the note inside, he saw After reading the contents of the note, he almost fainted. Because the detailed battle report had not yet arrived, he even suspected that the homing pigeon might be a prank after being caught halfway.
While sending more than a dozen detective horses to conduct reconnaissance in the direction of Tianquan County, Zheng State, Shi Lei took the note taken from the carrier pigeon and staggered to the palace to report the news to Emperor Xiong Ze.
Since it was already getting late, Emperor Xiong Ze couldn't wait to hug a newly-named beautiful concubine after eating the royal meal. He entered the palace and climbed onto the dragon bed to have fun. Both of them took off their clothes. At this time The eunuch on duty in the palace stood at the door and reported that Prime Minister Shi Lei had an urgent matter to report to the emperor. Xiong Ze calculated the time and estimated that Han Fei had conquered Tianquan County of Zheng State and captured Emperor Zheng Su Chengxuan, so He smiled and scolded the concubine, "Old man Shi, this old guy has ruined my good deeds. I have to humiliate him in court tomorrow morning to relieve my anger." But the scolding returned, Xiong Ze quickly put on his casual clothes with the help of the concubine. , came to the imperial study room.
At the door of the royal study room, Shi Lei had been waiting there anxiously. When he saw Xiong Ze coming over, he hurriedly slapped his hands and knelt down in front of Xiong Ze. Xiong Ze was a little strange, "Shi Aiqing, didn't I say that it is not necessary for us monarchs and ministers to meet privately?" Do you want to do this great gift?"
"Your Majesty, I have urgent matters to report!" Shi Lei did not dare to get up, knelt in front of Xiong Ze, lowered his head and said.
"Haha, did Han Fei capture Tianquan County and capture Su Chengxuan?" Xiong Ze asked with a smile.
"This...!" Shi Lei didn't expect Xiong Ze to ask like this at the beginning. He didn't know how to speak for a moment.
Seeing Shi Lei kneeling on the ground and hesitating, Xiong Ze was even more surprised. He never dreamed that his army of more than 300,000, including the 50,000 elite black-armored troops, could be almost wiped out overnight.
Shi Lei, who was kneeling on the ground, hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and handed the thin note taken from the homing pigeon's foot to Xiong Ze with both hands.
Xiong Ze reached out and took the note. The words on the note were too small and could not be seen clearly at the moment. He waved to the eunuch who was holding a lantern to guide him. The eunuch hurriedly walked to him, raised the lantern in his hand, and asked Xiong Ze to borrow it. Looking at the light from the lantern, he just saw the words on the note clearly, as if he had been burned by fire. He threw away the note in his hand with an "ouch" and fell backwards. The eunuch who was leading the way dropped his hand in a hurry. The lantern inside helped Xiong Ze's falling body up.
''Hurry up and declare the royal doctor, hurry up and declare the royal doctor! "Shi Lei was so anxious that his tone of voice changed. He quickly got up from the ground and helped the emperor Xiong Ze with the leading eunuch.
The second person to get the news that more than 300,000 Chu troops were annihilated under Tianquan County was the Qin Prime Minister Gao Jianli, who ranked first in talent in the world. From the beginning of this war between Chu and Zheng, various countries He attaches great importance to it, and almost every corner of the battlefield is covered with spies from various countries. They will send all the news and military information on the battlefield as soon as possible, either by rushing 800 miles or by flying pigeons. Send it back to China for domestic analysis and research.
Gao Jianli defected to the Qin State for several years and destroyed three countries for the Qin State. Emperor Qin paid great attention to him. In this war between Chu and Zheng, Qin State sent the most intelligence personnel. Gao Jianli stayed in the Qin State for two years. Over time, an intelligence agency named Eagle Eye and an assassination agency named Talon were established respectively. Among them, the Eagle Eye intelligence agency has many spies, who are responsible for collecting various domestic and foreign intelligence and reporting it to the courts and armies of various countries. Infiltrate and randomly instigate rebellion or bribe high-ranking officials in some countries' courts and armies to provide them with top-secret information about the country. The Talon assassination agency uses the information provided by the Eagle Eye agency to assassinate some people who are hostile to Qin or refuse to do so. Senior officials from various countries who did not cooperate with them and important generals in the army who posed a strategic threat to Qin.
During the Battle of Tianquan County of Zheng State, because the terrain of Tianquan County near the Daling River was particularly low-lying, spies from various countries on the battlefield gathered near the main battlefield to gather information. They pretended to be doing various small businesses. The small traders, the farmers who farmed the land, the hunters who hunted in the mountains, and the fishermen who fished in the river were all dressed up, but a big gap was suddenly opened in the Daling River, and a large amount of ice water came crashing down in the river. The spies from various countries, like the Chu army, were unprepared and could not escape. Almost all of them drowned or froze to death. Only the spies sent by the Qin State survived due to their large number of people and carried the news by flying pigeons. The method of the book was spread back to Xijing, the capital of Chu State.
