Seeing Ouyang Ming blushing, Nie Chen asked Zhou An again and said with a smile,
"Old Zhou, if you want a wife or not, as long as you ask, I will help persuade Princess Chaoxi to see if she is willing to marry you."
Zhou An waved his hands repeatedly and said,
"I don't want it. Women will only affect the speed of my halberd. In my eyes, I only have my halberd!"
"Liang Peng, you can't stay alone forever."
Liang Peng also quickly waved his hand and said he didn't want it.
Just kidding, who dares to marry the princess of an enemy country without fear of being accused of treason?
Don't talk about him. Ning Wushuang and Wang Hao don't dare.
"enough!"
Just when Nie Chen was about to ask more questions, Princess Chao Xi shouted loudly, then pulled out her hairpin and held it against her throat.
"I am a majestic princess. I came here to make peace on the emperor's order. I can only marry you. If you don't want to marry me, you can kill me. Why humiliate me like this?!"
Nie Chen was startled when he heard this. This princess has quite a strong temper.
Qi Huan on the side suddenly snorted coldly,
"Then you, South Korea, send a fake princess over to marry our Lord Marquis. Isn't that an insult to us?"
"What? Fake?"
The generals were surprised.
Qi Huan continued,
"Mingxuan has a total of eight sons and four daughters. Three of them have already been married, and the remaining one is only ten years old and has not yet reached the age of leaving the court. May I ask this princess, which princess are you?"
Princess Chaoxi looked at Qi Huan, and after a moment of silence, she said,
"Yes, I am indeed not the emperor's biological daughter, I am his niece.
My father's name is Mingluan, and he is the emperor's cousin. I was originally the princess, but if the emperor wanted to get married, he needed a princess. There was no suitable daughter among his biological daughters, so he chose me from the clan.
I am a princess now, and I am qualified to come and get married. I didn’t lie to you! "
Nie Chen smiled and said,
"Put that hairpin down first. Your life or death has nothing to do with us, but there are a few things I want to ask you.
You should know that Mingxuan and I are enemies. Mingxuan usurped the country and proclaimed himself emperor. As Dafeng Zhongliang, I will naturally fight to the death with him.
As for Mingxuan, he didn't really intend to ask me to retreat. He was just here to create a rift.
Since you know it's so dangerous, why are you still willing to come over and get married? "
"Do I have a choice? When can women in this world take control of their own destiny?"
Princess Chaoxi said coldly.
Nie Chen smiled and said,
"You should know that you are just a pawn of Mingxuan, a pawn to gain my trust.
When the messenger left, he just left you here without any intention of winning you back.
This means that whether this matter succeeds or fails, Mingxuan has given up on you and left you in the enemy's military camp, abandoned like worn shoes.
I won’t tell you what will happen to a beautiful woman from an enemy country like you, alone in a military camp full of men. I won’t tell you, but you can imagine it.
Don’t you hate that you, the daughter of a dignified clan, have been treated like this? "
"Hate? Who do you hate?"
Princess Chaoxi asked coldly.
"Who sent you here?"
"He is the emperor, but... since ancient times, the emperor's destiny is greater than the heaven. Do I have the right to hate him?"
"But Mingxuan knows that you will hate him. He knows that you are unwilling and you will hate him, but he still dares to let you come with confidence. Do you have any leverage in his hands?"
When Ming Xin heard Nie Chen's words, he was startled for a moment, then smiled bitterly, put down the hairpin in his hand, and said,
"I have a mother who lives in the capital city. Although my father is Mingxuan's cousin, he passed away ten years ago.
When I was in Taiyuan County, I didn't enjoy any of the blessings of the Ming family. I only relied on the little family property left by my father to survive. Even my ancestral home was taken away by other clans.
My mother and I can only rent a house to live in. We make a living by doing handicrafts and depend on each other.
Later, Mingxuan rebelled and proclaimed himself emperor. Because my surname was Ming, I was brought to the capital with him.
We don’t have to rent a house this time, but Mingxuan didn’t give us a house, so we lived in a corner of the courtyard in the Zongren Mansion.
Although I am the princess, I have not received any salary so far, so I can only continue to struggle to make ends meet with my mother.
When he became emperor, I did not enjoy any favors. Instead, I continued to be looked down upon in the clan's mansion.
But when he was using people and needed someone to die, he remembered me and gave me the title of a princess.
I didn't want to come, so he threatened me with my mother, saying that if I didn't obey, he would kill my mother and sell me to the Jiaofang Department.
I have no choice but to come. "
"You are such a miserable person, so you still hate Mingxuan in your heart, right?"
"Yes, I hate him, but what can I do?"
Mingxin smiled bitterly.
"What if I can avenge you? What if I can kill Mingxuan for you? And I am willing to guarantee your mother's safety?"
Nie Chen said slowly.
As soon as these words came out, Mingxin immediately widened his eyes and said,
"I know that you will definitely kill Mingxuan, whether it is to avenge me or not, you will kill him.
But, can you really save my mother? "
"Isn't that easy? When the city is broken, I will give you a group of soldiers. You can take them to the clan mansion, protect your mother, and then capture or kill other clan members. .
How about it? "
Mingxin thought for a moment and then said,
"You help me so much, how do you need me to repay you? You will definitely not help me for no reason. What do you need me to do?"
"I don't need you to do anything, I just need you to be loyal to me. Everyone who has a grudge against Mingxuan is my friend, and we all have the same goal."
Mingxin knelt down without hesitation and said
"If Lord Nie can really kill Mingxuan and rescue my mother, then I know that this life belongs to Lord Nie. As long as the Lord has a mission, he will not hesitate to die."
As soon as these words came out, everyone on King Pingxi's side was shocked.
That's it? So simple? Can you make a hostile person swear allegiance to the death? Damn it, Lord Nie is awesome!
King Pingxi also looked at Nie Chen with playful eyes and said leisurely,
"Now I understand why you are always able to easily recruit and surrender enemy troops and use them for your own advantage."
King Pingxi didn't say the last sentence.
That is, what a great method of transferring hatred.
"Get up quickly. It's too much to say that you will die. If your shoulders can't bear it and your hands can't lift it, I don't need you to do anything. It's just a favor to help you.
Just do what you can. "
Nie Chen said nonchalantly.
Mingxin was startled for a moment, then showed an expression of realization, hesitated for a moment, and said,
"Then...then I am willing to serve you, Lord Marquis."
