After many days of traveling, Wang Qi and his party finally arrived at the border. During this period, they did many chivalrous and righteous deeds, such as annihilating some evil sects and executing many wealthy gentry who were unkind for their wealth.
From these things, Wang Qizhi saw many problems. If they were not completely solved, ordinary people would not be able to live a stable life.
In this regard, Sima Hui put forward a very important opinion. These wealthy gentry were very powerful in southern Xinjiang. If they were suppressed too hard, it would indeed protect the interests of the people, but it would make those gentry feel rebellious.
Wang Qizhi thought for a moment and realized that it was indeed the case. If he had not had the help of those gentry, there would have been chaos in southern Xinjiang. After he returned, he and Pang Tong must come up with a perfect plan.
The five people led their horses to the city wall on the border of Chu State, and were stopped by a soldier guarding the city, who asked sternly: "What are you doing here?"
Wang Qizhi didn't hide anything and said directly: "Meet the King of Chu."
After hearing this, the soldier was stunned for a moment, read the customs clearance documents for several people, and immediately knelt down and said: "Meet the princess."
Yan'er raised her hand gently and said, "Get up! We will enter the city now."
The soldier said: "Princess, we have prepared the carriage. You can get on the carriage and set off."
Yan'er rejected the proposal on the spot and said, "No need to bother, let's ride the horse so we can enjoy the scenery along the way."
The soldier was a little embarrassed. If the princess and these distinguished guests did not take the carriage they prepared, the superiors would definitely blame them.
Yan'er saw what the soldier was thinking and said, "You don't have to worry about this. Just tell the superiors that it's my order. I believe they won't make things difficult for you."
The soldier had no power, how could he dare to disobey Her Royal Highness the Princess's order, so he had no choice but to agree.
Several people rode horses into the Chu land. Jiang Yiyi and Sun Xiangman set foot on this land again with many thoughts. They thought that they had lived in this land before. If they didn't have any feelings, it would be fake. It was a pity that for someone. Because of human ambition, they had no choice but to live in a foreign land. Fortunately, Wang Qizhi was in charge of the overall situation, otherwise they would be worse than a drowned dog now.
They walked on the road for some more time and finally arrived at Jianye City.
At this time, the news that Wang Qizhi became the son-in-law of the King of Chu had long spread in the Chu region, and was talked about by the people. They believed that it was Wang Qizhi's good fortune to recruit the new lord of Southern Xinjiang as his consort. Your Royal Highness, the good thing is hard to find even with a lantern.
These people were short-sighted and only saw the surface of things, so Wang Qizhi didn't pay much attention to them.
A group of five people came to the gate of Jianye City. The general guarding the city recognized Yan'er at a glance and immediately greeted her. He knelt down and said, "I will see you, Your Highness, Princess."
When the people around him saw this, they also knelt down. They never expected that the plainly dressed woman was actually Her Royal Highness.
The five people were brought into the palace by two carriages. In a main hall, Wu Youding personally received the five people.
When the King of Chu saw Jiang Yiyi and Sun Xiangman, he had a complicated mood. He had driven them away personally at first, but now he came here as a distinguished guest. It was really full of ridicule.
The four of them just bowed politely to Wu Youding and did not kneel down. Now that Wang Qizhi and Wu Youding have the same status, and the other three are distinguished guests, there is no reason to kneel down.
As for Yan'er, she has returned to her dormitory and cannot participate in such things.
Wu Youding had four chairs brought in, and after letting the four of them sit down, he said, "I have long seen that His Highness is not a person for idleness, and now it is reasonable to unify Southern Xinjiang."
Wang Qizhi said politely: "The King of Chu has made a false compliment."
Wu Youding then went straight to the point and said, "I admire His Highness' talents very much and would like to marry Yan'er to you. What do you think?"
Now that everyone has come straight to the point, Wang Qizhi can no longer be careless and says: "Yan'er and I have always loved each other sincerely. Since King Chu is willing to marry Yan'er to me, of course I want it. I wonder when we will get married?"
Seeing that this boy was falling for the trap, the King of Chu did not mention the marriage, but first discussed the conditions.
"If you really get married, then Chu Di and Nan Xinjiang will become in-laws. You must also call me Father. To put it harshly, I will become a grasshopper on a rope, so we have become de facto Alliances must join forces to fight the enemy together.”
Wang Qizhi knew that King Chu had no good intentions, so he gave an ambiguous answer.
"Aren't Yan'er and I still married? Let's wait until we get married before we talk about this."
"Besides, I don't have the final say on matters in Southern Xinjiang alone. I have to go back and discuss it with the ministers. But you can rest assured that as long as I get married to Yan'er, everything will be easy to discuss."
Wu Youding almost laughed out of anger at these words. The boy had talked so much, and it was as if he had not said anything. It seemed that the wedding would have to be postponed until the boy spoke.
"I found an expert to tell us a fortune. It's not an auspicious day for Chu Di yet, so your wedding will have to wait a little longer."
Wang Qizhi naturally saw what Wu Youding was thinking, and said, "I didn't expect King Chu to still believe these things, but I am already with Yan'er, and we can afford to wait."
Even if you gave this guy 10,000 courages, he wouldn't dare to do this, otherwise Yan'er would have broken his third leg.
Wu Youding turned green with anger at these words. Regardless of whether it was true or false, if this matter spread out, the royal family would be completely embarrassed. If they did not get married in time, they would probably become the laughing stock of the world.
Jiang Yiyi and Sun Xiangman looked at each other and actually burst into laughter. This kid is really capable and courageous.
Now that raw rice has become cooked rice, Wu Youding agreed to get married in one month even if there were ten thousand people who were not happy with it.
Wang Qizhi stood up slowly and said shamelessly: "Thank you very much, father."
After a few people left, Wu Youding was so angry that he cursed loudly, "Damn, I have never been so aggrieved before. It makes me so angry."
A figure suddenly flashed out from the darkness, it was Hu Tianhua. He cupped his hands towards the King of Chu and said: "Greetings to the King."
The King of Chu looked at the old eunuch and said, "Are they skilled in martial arts?"
I heard Hu Tianhua let out a long sigh and said, "Your Majesty, let me tell you the truth, these few are not good people."
Seeing that the old eunuch was cheating, Wu Youding said anxiously: "If you have something to say and something to say, don't hide it here."
Hu Tianhua said: "Your Majesty, to be honest, except for one of them who is a master of the lower heaven, the rest are all strong men of the middle heaven."
