Zhao Xuanyi and Shen Wei walked into the Ghost King Palace together! Although Zhao Xuanyi has been to Ghost Street many times, this is the first time he has entered the Ghost King Palace. This is the second time Shen Wei has come. The first time, Zhu Moxian rebelled and was unable to enter the capital. In the end, he took the gift given by Zhu Yuejun with him. The Ghost King came to borrow a way!
After Zhao Xuanyi came in, he was shocked by the scene inside. Seeing how spooky the ghost street was, he thought the Ghost King's Palace was the same as the Eighteenth Level of Hell? Unexpectedly, the scenery here is very elegant, with pavilions, rockeries, streams, singing birds, and blooming flowers. It looks like a paradise!
But there are a lot of guards here, with one post every three steps and one sentry every five steps. Moreover, both men and women inside are wearing masks, so you can’t see their original appearance!
But Zhao Xuanyi has no time to care about this group of people, he can't wait to fall in love! Zhao Xuanyi followed the people to the main hall. After walking in, he saw a burly man sitting in the middle of the main hall, and a woman wearing a Rakshasa mask stood on the left and right of the man. The one on the left is wearing red and the one on the right is wearing black!
The leader took Zhao Xuanyi and Shen Wei to the main hall, turned around, saluted the man sitting on the chair, and left! Zhao Xuanyi looked carefully at the man sitting on the chair and thought to himself, is this the Ghost King? He has a Shura mask on his face and a black robe. Apart from his figure, nothing else can be seen!
"Lord Protector? What a rare visitor!" the Ghost King said with a smile.
Zhao Xuanyi nodded slightly, "Excuse me!"
"Come here, take a seat!"
The woman in red clothes came over, put a chair next to Zhao Xuanyi, and Zhao Xuanyi sat down slowly without being polite.
The Ghost King tilted his head and looked at Zhao Xuanyi, "The Protector is busy with official duties every day. I wonder why he came to me?"
Zhao Xuanyi smiled, "You're welcome, Ghost King. I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. I'm here to ask you for help! What about me...?"
Before Zhao Xuanyi finished speaking, the Ghost King suddenly stretched out his hand and made a gesture to forbid talking. Then he looked at Zhao Xuanyi and said, "My lord, I think you have misunderstood something?"
"Misunderstanding? Where did you start talking about this?" Zhao Xuanyi asked.
"First of all, the Ghost King's Order in your hand was given to the Emperor by me, and I also stated that I will only ask him to do one thing! Secondly, if I remember correctly, we have already finished this promise last time, and I will give you a secret , let your Qilin Guard come to Beijing to escort me, so this token can find me, but I have no obligation to help you anymore! Right?"
Zhao Xuanyi nodded, "The Ghost King is right, you have indeed fulfilled your promise, and I am here this time to ask for your help with something else! Of course, we can negotiate the terms!"
After hearing this, the Ghost King laughed, "We can talk! Yes! What the Duke said is very to my liking! But I don't know how you plan to talk about it?"
"I know that the Ghost King has many masters, and they are all as good as ten. Can you please ask the Ghost King to send all his men to help me fight!" Zhao Xuanyi said.
"Fighting? This does not seem to be the strong point of my men! If we face hundreds of thousands of people, no matter how capable my men are, they may not be able to escape unscathed. Although my people are powerful, they cannot be wasted like this! This is not a waste of rice. What a deal!」
"The Ghost King has misunderstood. I don't want your people to help me fight to the end. You only need to help me once. Just help me defeat the enemy mercenary group. I can fight the rest by myself!"
After hearing this, the Ghost King slowly raised his head and looked at Zhao Xuanyi, "Which mercenary group do you need my people to fight against?"
"Black Hawk Legion!"
"Black Hawk Legion? If I remember correctly, they have more than 300 masters!"
"That's right, this is indeed a tough nut to crack. I'm not afraid of the Ghost King's jokes. It's hard for me to have soldiers who can kill these people in the military camp now, so I'm asking for your help!"
"We'll decide later whether we can help or not! You should tell me first, if I help you, what benefits will I get?"
"The benefits...? I really didn't expect it, but if you don't help me, there will definitely be more disadvantages!" Zhao Xuanyi said with a smile.
"Disadvantages? Will there be any harm to me?"
"One emperor and one courtier! At this moment, the ghost king can be at peace
Wen opened a ghost market in the capital because no one dared to investigate. To put it bluntly, this must be the emperor's tacit approval. But if King Yong'an breaks through the capital, will the ghost king still be so stable? "
The Ghost King laughed upon hearing this and said, "Threatening me?"
"Suggestion! I don't think I need to say anything more about this, right?"
The Ghost King did not speak anymore, thought for a few seconds, and then spoke again, "What you said makes sense, but unfortunately, it is not enough to impress me! At worst, I will give up here, and then I will change places and leave the Ghost City. It's the same!"
Zhao Xuanyi lowered his head and smiled, "It's true, but... Ghost King, you have been in the capital for so many years, and you just give up? I don't know how long I can hold my position in front. Once I lose, you won't be able to hold it for even a quarter of an hour. You have so many Honey, with so many people, can you escape unscathed?"
"I can leave now!"
"The Ghost King is afraid?" Zhao Xuanyi asked loudly.
"How reckless!" The two girls beside the Ghost King pulled out their weapons, and the cold light hit Zhao Xuanyi's face!
Shen Wei immediately walked in front of Zhao Xuanyi and protected Zhao Xuanyi behind him. Although he didn't know how good these two girls were in martial arts, he would never let them hurt Zhao Xuanyi!
"Back off!" The Ghost King said softly.
"Yes!" The two girls put away their weapons and stepped aside!
"My lord, how old do you think I am? Are you still using this kind of provocation? Do you underestimate me?"
"I don't dare! It's just that the current situation is forcing me. To be honest, I'm not confident enough to win this battle, so I came to the Ghost King for help! I hope to get your help!"
The Ghost King looked at Zhao Xuanyi for a long time, then shook his head, "I have to admit one thing, if I were asked to leave this capital, I would really be reluctant to do so! But it is not the character of Ghost Market to do business at a loss!"
"If you have any conditions, Ghost King, just ask for it!"
"Happy! What are the conditions...?" The Ghost King thought for a moment, "I heard that the eldest princess has not gotten married yet?"
Zhao Xuanyi frowned, "Ghost King, I'm warning you, if you dare to take advantage of the eldest princess, I won't even fight you, King Yong'an. I will immediately lead an army of hundreds of thousands to destroy this ghost city of yours!"
"Hahaha... Your Majesty misunderstood, I really didn't mean that!" The Ghost King turned to look at the girl aside, "Go, bring my painting!"
"Yes!" The woman wearing a ghost mask turned around and left! Soon after, the woman came out with a calligraphy and painting in her hand. The Ghost King gave the girl a look. The girl came to Zhao Xuanyi with the painting and opened the calligraphy and painting in front of Zhao Xuanyi!
Zhao Xuanyi didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the Ghost King Gourd. When he looked carefully, he saw a girl in the painting. The girl looked about sixteen or seventeen years old. She was very delicate and her emerald green dress made the girl very agile. !
Although the girl is very beautiful,... Zhao Xuanyi doesn't recognize her! "This is?"
"Princess Jinxiu! She should be the twelfth sister of the current crown prince! I also saw it by chance. At one glance, I fell in love with her. What the Duke just said, I don’t need to tell you, you also know how difficult it is! So! If possible, the Duke will betroth this beautiful princess to me, and I will agree to what you say immediately!"
"..." Zhao Xuanyi was dumbfounded when he heard this, with a look of embarrassment on his face. "Ghost King, have you misunderstood something? I'm not a member of the royal family. How can I make the decision on such a big matter?"
"I believe that the Duke must have a way! I feel that this matter is not very difficult, right? There are not fifty royal princesses, but twenty. How about giving me one? As long as you agree to this matter, I will do my best Help!"
Zhao Xuanyi shook his head, "Don't say that I don't have the right to make the decision. Even if I have the right, I can't agree. You want a princess from a royal family to marry into your ghost king's palace? And I don't even know how old you are and what you look like? Are you of good conduct? I don’t even know, if you are an ancient white-haired man, let such a young princess marry you? Wouldn’t that be a sin?”
"What's wrong with an old man marrying a teenage girl? Isn't this normal?"
"Yes, in your world, this is normal, but I'm sorry, I can't answer
answer! I don't want to ruin a princess's life! "Zhao Xuanyi saw that the Ghost King's request was so harsh, how could he agree? He immediately stood up and said "Goodbye!" After Zhao Xuanyi said that, he walked out!
"The Duke is staying, are you serious about not considering this matter anymore? As long as the royal family marries a princess, they can keep the capital! This deal will not be a loss for the royal family!"
"I'm at a loss!"
"What are you losing? I didn't want your daughter!"
"I'm so sorry!" Zhao Xuanyi turned to look at the Ghost King, "I told you not to act like a coward with me! If you have the guts, why don't you take off the mask and let me see how ugly your face is?"
"Presumptuous, if you dare to roar again, I will kill you immediately!" The girl in red shouted sweetly!
"What the hell are you calling me? Why don't you just bully me for not knowing martial arts? It's better than your master being disgusting! Let's talk about you! Do you dare to take off the mask!" Zhao Xuanyi was very angry and pointed at the Ghost King and shouted !
Seeing how angry Zhao Xuanyi was, the Ghost King smiled slightly, said nothing, took off the mask, and raised his head to look at Zhao Xuanyi.
"..." After Zhao Xuanyi saw the Ghost King, the anger in his heart disappeared instantly, and he sat on the chair obediently. "Um, you just said Princess Jinxiu, right?" His attitude became very kind!
"Not bad!" The Ghost King nodded with a smile!
"Okay, I agree to this! But there should be nothing to arrange a marriage for you now. Let's wait until this war is over and I will act as a matchmaker for you. I will definitely negotiate this matter for you, how about it?"
The Ghost King smiled and nodded, "Of course it's the best! I know that the Duke is always happy when doing things, so I'll be waiting for your good news!"
"Okay! That's it!" Zhao Xuanyi said with a smile!
When Zhao Xuanyi and Shen Wei left the ghost street and came to the capital highway, Zhao Xuanyi was still a little unresponsive. There was naturally a reason why Zhao Xuanyi's attitude changed so much in the Ghost King's Palace just now!
I couldn't figure it out, how could the Ghost King look like that even though he lived in such a gloomy place? In my own imagination, the Ghost King must be a man with a fierce look and scars on his face. After all, this is what fits the name of the Ghost King!
But when he saw the Ghost King take off his mask today, Zhao Xuanyi was shocked, because this Ghost King was so beautiful! A woman has a face with oval seeds, sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, a nose like a mountain peak, and thin lips!
It was a feminine face. The men I had seen were all handsome, cool, masculine, bold, etc., but this ghost king looked very special. If he changed his hairstyle and put on a little rouge and gouache, he would be first-rate. A beautiful woman whose beauty cannot tell the difference between male and female. If it weren't for her special voice, I would have mistaken her for a woman!
Even a man like himself would be jealous, let alone women. Such a beautiful man who is hard to find in the sky or on the ground would probably make them laugh in their sleep and dreams for that girl!
Shen Wei came to Zhao Xuanyi's side and said, "Young Master, this is a family matter of the royal family. Isn't it bad that you just agreed to it?"
"Not good? Just wait for that Princess Jinxiu to kneel on the ground and thank me! If such a beautiful man can give me that face, then...hahaha!" Zhao Xuanyi smiled happily.
"You already have so many women now. If you had that face, you might have ruined many other little girls!"
"My name is fraternity! No, let's strike while the iron is hot. Let's go back to Tayunxuan!"
"Going right now?"
"Otherwise? This must be a beautiful marriage, and we have a request from the Ghost King now. If we can get rid of the Black Eagle Mercenary Group, it will be a lot easier for us!" After Zhao Xuanyi finished speaking, he directly mounted the horse. , and ran towards Tayunxuan again!
