Listening to what this woman said, I saw that this woman still looked extremely outstanding among the pretty sisters around her. Although she looked sad, her movements showed a natural charm. Even though Huang Qiong was still worried about this woman, she couldn't help but feel a little distraught.
After waving his hand to signal her to get up, Huang Qiong did not look at this unkind woman who not only risked her father's life, but also almost got herself involved, and said in a deep voice: "You guys go down first. Ben Although Wang Bai Sha Tang is a Jianghu sect, you must also be literate. Write down everything you know about the so-called Thirteenth Battalion of the Iron Guard."
After the four women were led down, Huang Qiong was not talking, but was thinking about something. But Fan Dao's wife over there suddenly said: "King of England, I wonder how you plan to arrange them? You should know that these four girls have almost no ability to survive if they are released. From their appearance, It will also bring disaster to them."
"Although they have martial arts skills, except for the senior sister who is barely in the second rate, the rest are only slightly higher than the third rate. If you let them leave, you will push them into the abyss. Little women are also women. Although I despise what Baishatang has done, I don’t want to see these girls fall into prostitution or live in the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha for the rest of their lives.”
In response to Mrs. Fan Dao's inquiry, Huang Qiong frowned slightly, took a sip of the tea in front of her, and then said: "Madam, I just said that after the incident in Zhengzhou, I will let them go and get married. Or you can become a monk and just listen to yourself. Of course, I will also take care of you. In doing so, I have done my best to be benevolent and righteous."
"If Madam is really worried about them being alone, how about taking them back to the Fan family in Xiangyang? The Fan family has a big business, so taking in four orphans shouldn't bring any burden. Besides, Baishatang and the Fan family in Xiangyang belong to the same lineage of martial arts. , having these four girls taken in by the Fan family can be regarded as their lifelong dependence."
Fan Dao's wife rolled her eyes in response to Huang Qiong's reply. Are you kidding me? If those four beautiful women go to the Fan family in Xiangyang, aren't they asking for trouble? I know my husband's character well and there is nothing fancy about him. No matter how beautiful these four women are, he will not have any extraneous feelings for him even though he has a soft spot for them.
But the other children of the Fan family may not be as determined as their husband. Most of the adult children of the Fan family are either married or have a well-matched betrothal partner due to interests. These four girls are so beautiful and charming. Who can guarantee that the men of the Fan family who are already married or who are about to be married will not be tempted by them if they are brought back?
Those who are married to the Fan family are either from high-ranking families or wealthy businessmen, or from a martial arts family like herself. This is an exchange of interests, and there is nothing one can do about it in the world. Although the Fan family does not prohibit concubines, they still have to take care of the face of the in-laws, right? Moreover, the Fan family has a strict ancestral system, and concubines are not allowed to be from Jianghu people. They must be clean and pure.
He is just afraid that the concubine will be favored, and coupled with her skill, she will do something to humiliate the main wife. Moreover, children of the Fan family can only take concubines after the first wife has given birth, or if they have not given birth within three years. If they were descendants of the Fan family, wouldn't the Fan family be in chaos because these four women were causing trouble that violated the ancestral system or broke off the engagement?
The most important thing is that she thinks this cunning guy must have understood the meaning of her words. In the end, he gave himself such an answer. This was not an obvious suspicion that trouble was moving eastward. Therefore, the lady simply gave Huang Qiong's answer a big eye roll as a comment.
Since Huang Qiong was wandering around here, the lady simply said directly: "I heard that the King of England only has three concubines by his side at the moment. The envoy of King Jing said that the King of England was lustful, which was indeed a bit excessive. However, I also heard that the descendants of the Tian family have no requirements for taking concubines. Even when they reach adulthood, the emperor will take the initiative to reward some palace maids to serve as bed attendants."
"I also know that the rules of the Tian family are strict, and there are strict regulations for princes to take concubines. Although these four women have some problems with their backgrounds, for the King of England, this little thing is not a problem, right? Even though you have the rules of the Tian family, It’s a little more, but they may not be able to adapt.”
"And for the King of England, these four women can be used as concubines and bodyguards when necessary. It can be said that they kill two birds with one stone. Although their martial arts are not high, they are still much stronger than the guards of His Royal Highness. Even if it’s not possible to deal with great masters, it’s still not a problem to deal with some thieves who want to peek into the British Prince’s Palace.”
Mrs. Fan Dao's words made Huang Qiong, who was drinking tea, almost spit out the tea in his mouth. After forcibly calming down, Huang Qiong glared at Fan Jian who was snickering over there. He knew that apart from Fan Jian, there would be no other person who could come up with this idea.
Looking at Fan Dao and his wife who were looking at him expectantly, Huang Qiong could only smile bitterly and shake his head: "Madam, this idea is really too special. It's just Madam, although these four girls are outstanding in appearance, I have no thoughts about these four women, and I have no intention of taking advantage of others' danger and adding insult to injury."
"Besides, the king is not yet married. The four single women coming to the British Prince's Palace will have a bad reputation for the four women. They will get married sooner or later, right? Besides, I am a grown man, and I will go out with four of them. Is the female guard serious? Even if it is used to protect the royal family, the king is single now and has no family to protect him."
"If Madam wants to find a home for these four girls, I'm afraid she has really misjudged the person. In this way, if the Fan family refuses to take them in, when I return to Beijing, I will first find a nunnery to place them. Wait until they have When I find the one I love, I will definitely marry them in a grand manner. As for the fact that I have taken them into my house, Madam, I’d better not mention it again.”
It's just that Huang Qiong's attitude is resolute, and Mrs. Fan's attitude is even more resolute. After Huang Qiong finished speaking, she looked at Huang Qiong for a long time and then said: "For such a beautiful woman, the King of England is so cruel. Isn't it a bit too cruel to let him go to the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha? Everyone is from the martial arts lineage, the King of England Will this move chill people in the world?"
"I'm just a woman. I don't know about national affairs, and I can't care about the overt and secret struggles between princes like you. But these four women are from the martial arts lineage. I can't just sit back and watch what happens to them. Today, the King of England I'd better give you a warm word and decide whether you want to take it or not. As for whether you want to take it or keep it as a guard, that's beyond my control."
Faced with Mrs. Fan's reluctance, Huang Qiong was very confused. When he saw Fan Dao wanted to speak for his wife, Huang Qiong quickly raised his hand and said: "My lady has expressed her position, and I already know Brother Fan's thoughts. In this way, when I return to Beijing, I will let them live in The Royal Palace. As for what to do in the future, let’s talk about it later.”
After Huang Qiong said these words, he also knew that this was the British king's final concession. If you are aggressive, it will backfire when the time comes. Anyway, I have already got the answer. Although this answer is not too consistent with my heart, it finally has a result. So Mrs. Fan wisely kept her mouth shut.
Just when the situation was somewhat embarrassing, Zhao Wusha, who came in to report that King Jing had sent an envoy to report that the camp had been set up over there and that King Jing had set off for the meeting place, broke the peace in the building. After receiving the report, Huang Qiong, who was a little confused at this time, said nothing more, just stood up and went down the building directly.
But behind the closed building, after seeing Liu Hu holding his horse, Huang Qiong pondered for a moment and said: "Liu Hu, you also know what I am going to do. Originally, I didn't want to take you there. , but among the people around me, you are the only one who recognizes King Jing. So even though I am reluctant, there is no other way."
"I also know that you and my second brother have a deep hatred, and I am afraid that you even dream of revenge. But I want to ask you today. I will follow you to see King Jing later. Can you Suppress the hatred in your heart? If you can't suppress the hatred in your heart, I will not force you to follow."
"I also know that it is really difficult for you to sit back and watch in the face of the enemy who destroyed your family. But no matter what King Jing did, even if he committed a serious crime of treason, he must be handed over to the emperor for disposal. Don't say You, even I, have no right to deal with a prince. Therefore, if you insist on going with me, I hope you can endure it."
"I cannot, because of you alone, ruin everyone's efforts. Ruin the results of two days of bloody battles between three thousand soldiers at Hulao Pass." Huang Qiong's words were very direct, without any cover-up. Because in his opinion, for a direct confidant like Liu Hu, it is much better to tell the truth directly than to make excuses to cover up.
After Huang Qiong finished speaking, Liu Hu's expression changed slightly. It turned out that after he knew that the King of England was going to meet with King Jing, he was indeed ready to risk his life to assassinate King Jing and avenge his family. But Huang Qiong's words made him calm down. Now that he is getting along more and more harmoniously with the King of England, he naturally knows what consequences it will bring to the King of England, including the entire British palace, if he does that.
After thinking for a long time, Liu Hu gritted his teeth and knelt down when he saw the King of England patiently waiting for his answer. He took out a short knife from his arms and handed it to Huang Qiong, saying: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Hu will not do anything impulsive. But Hu wants to ask the prince for something, and I hope the prince can agree to it."
Taking the short knife handed over by Liu Hu, Huang Qiong took it out and took a look, but then stuffed the short knife back into Liu Hu's hand: "You'd better keep the knife for yourself. If you can't let Liu Hu let it go, I am responsible, who else can I trust? I have always regarded you as my brother, so if you have any requests, just ask. As long as it is not too outrageous, I will definitely agree."
"Your Majesty, if you can successfully quell this rebellion, you can lead the army back to Zhengzhou. When dealing with the people in Prince Jing's Mansion, hand over the general manager of Prince Jing's Mansion to Hu. My father was in the shackles of my brother. At that time, I went to them to argue with them. As a result, I was kicked in the heart by the manager of the foreign government, and he died within a few days after being carried home."
"My sister-in-law was also forcibly taken to Prince Jing's Mansion by him. There was no news after she left, leaving behind a pair of children. At Prince Jing's place, Hu will not cause trouble to the prince. The tiger only asks the prince to calm down Zhengzhou after , hand over the general manager of the foreign government to Hu, so that Hu can kill this beast and avenge his family." With tears in Liu Hu's eyes, he kowtowed heavily to Huang Qiong.
Huang Qiong, who heard Liu Hu's request and knew that he was being forced into a difficult situation, quickly helped Liu Hu up and said: "King Jing, although I have no right to deal with it. But it's just a manager of a foreign government. Brother Liu can just deal with it." .Except for the family members of King Jing and high-ranking officials, who need to be handed over to the court for disposal. For the rest, Brother Liu can just let it go after arriving in Zhengzhou."
