As the sun set, Cui Shanwei, the governor of Qinzhou, stood at the top of the city, looking east.
He had already received news that His Royal Highness, the Living King of Hell, was coming to Longxi to supervise the battle in person.
He hasn't had a good night's sleep in the past half month. The governor of Qinzhou has been in office for less than a year. The people here are fierce and it is really difficult to manage.
I heard that the King of Shu once led the military forces of the four states of Qin, Chengdu, Weiwu, and was the governor of Qinzhou, so the King of Shu would definitely come to Qinzhou City to take a look.
In the past half month, he personally went through everything in Qinzhou and prepared a welcoming ceremony for the living King of Hell.
But to this day, the Living King of Hell has not come yet, or has he already been to Qinzhou without letting me discover it?
"Chief Cui, it's getting late, let's go back to the official residence! Your Highness is so beautiful that he doesn't want to travel at night."
Chief Shi Li Zhong smiled and flattered him.
Although Longxi belongs to the Li family, the Cui family is the highest sect in the Central Plains. The Cui family has a daughter. If she can marry his dog, Li Zhong's status in the Li family will be greatly improved.
"Li Changshi, His Highness is not just a golden person. We still have to be careful in dealing with him. If there are few mistakes, it is a small matter if he is not guaranteed, but it is a big deal if he is killed."
"You should know better than me the purpose of King Shu's visit to Longxi this time."
Li Zhong quickly bowed and said: "What the Governor taught me is that you should go back to the official residence and let your subordinates wait here."
"That's all. Just stay here and notify me immediately if you see someone coming."
Cui Shanwei was notified by the family patriarch that the King of Shu's trip to Longxi has caused a sensation in the Taoist and Buddhist families, and the forces behind the King of Shu have already entered Longxi. He was told to be careful, lest the city gate catch fire and harm the fish in the pond.
The family even mentioned in the letter that his daughter Cui Shanwei has reached the age of marriage, the King of Shu has got married and has a princess, so it is time to take in a concubine.
Cui Shanwei couldn't figure it out. The Cui family was the largest clan in the Central Plains and had noble blood. Although Cui Shanwei was a side branch of the Cui clan, he was still a member of the Cui family. How could his daughter marry the living King of Hell as a concubine? ŴŴŴ.BiQuGe.Biz
This is ridiculous!
The ancestors have been stubborn for hundreds of years, but they did not expect that the current patriarch is a weakling. Faced with Li Shimin's persecution, he wants to marry his daughter as the concubine of the Living King of Hell.
The backbone of the Cui family!
Didn't it mean that the Cui family could only marry the fifth surname Qiwang?
"Hey, I don't know what the clan elder thinks?"
Cui Shanwei shook his head, got off the city wall, and took a carriage to the official residence.
As soon as Cui Shanwei entered the official residence, he saw a plump woman walking up and asked: "Husband, is the King of Shu still coming?"
Cui Shanwei shook his head, walked into the study with a tired look, then turned around and asked, "Where is Qi Mu? What is she doing? Have you told her about that?"
The lady also looked sad and said: "Husband, why do you want Mu'er to marry that living King of Hell as a side concubine? My Cui family is also a famous family. Even if I want to marry, I must be the main concubine!"
"When Mu'er heard that she was going to marry the Living King of Hell, she cried so much that her face turned pale. She said that she would rather die than marry the Living King of Hell."
"I heard that the King of Shu is vicious and vicious, killing people and eating meat!"
Cui Shanwei said angrily: "Who did you hear that the princes of that dynasty and that generation could eat people? It's all just rumors."
"Although King Shu has a bad reputation, he will never eat people."
"But people outside are saying that, saying that the King of Shu can eat people. This time he came to Longxi just to eat people."
Cui Shanwei: "..."
Cui Shanwei pulled his wife into the study and whispered: "You have to watch your mouth. No matter what others say, we can't talk nonsense. If you want to destroy the nine tribes, just say it!"
Cui Shanwei's wife quickly covered her mouth and shook her head.
"You go with me to see Mu'er."
The couple came to their daughter's boudoir. The room was dark. Cui Qimu huddled beside the bed and kept wiping her tears. She had studied poetry and books since she was a child, practiced music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She was outstanding among the daughters of the Cui family.
She originally thought that when she got married, she would marry a suave and graceful young man from an aristocratic family, and usher in a less than wonderful life for herself, where the husband and wife would be loving and the children would be filial...
But she never expected that her father would send her from Pucheng, Shandong to this desolate northwest with a transfer order. That was fine, but what she didn't expect the most was that her father would ask her to serve the legendary living king of hell, Li Ke, the king of Shu. .
She was also asked to marry the King of Shu as his concubine.
I heard that the king of Shu can eat people, is cruel by nature, does all kinds of evil, and kills people at every turn.
Cui Qimu was extremely scared.
"Father, I don't want to marry. I don't want to marry that living king of hell. You are pushing my daughter into a pit of fire. My daughter would rather die..."
Cui Qimu said and rushed towards the wall, preparing to hit the wall to death.
She didn't want to be beaten to death by the Living King of Hell and eat the meat.
"Asshole, what are you doing?"
"Look, look, the good daughter you trained, do you want me to send a white-haired girl to a black-haired girl, and do you want to bring trouble to the family?"
Fortunately, Cui Shanwei was quick-sighted and blocked in front of his daughter, thus avoiding the disaster.
Mrs. Cui Shanwei held her daughter and cried loudly.
Cui Shanwei was so angry that he said angrily: "Watch carefully, I'm almost going crazy."
He didn't know at this moment whether the King of Shu was as violent as the rumors said. He had never seen it before, but had only heard about it from his colleagues.
But judging from what the King of Shu did, it is certain that he was violent, otherwise the Zheng family in Xingyang would not have been exterminated.
…
The living King of Hell, who can eat people, is currently riding a sweaty horse. His whole body is covered with dust and the corners of his mouth are dry and cracked.
Full of fatigue.
However, the gates of Qinzhou City have been closed, the lights on the city towers have been lit, and it seems that they are sleeping outside the city.
"Call the door and say that the king is here."
Now that he has arrived in Longxi, he must enter Qinzhou City openly and announce that he, the King of Shu, is here. If there is anything to do, come openly and don't do anything underhanded.
When Chief Shi Li Zhong saw a group of cavalry approaching in the distance, he immediately stood up, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
The family gave him an order. When the King of Shu arrived in Qinzhou City, he immediately rushed to deliver the news to Jicheng County and Didao County respectively.
"Hurry and open the city gate, His Royal Highness the King of Shu is here."
After hearing these words, Li Zhong immediately said: "Hurry up and open the city gate to welcome the Living King of Hell... Bah, Your Highness the King of Shu!"
The city gate opened, and Li Ke, escorted by Li Bingdao, entered Qinzhou City.
Li Zhong wanted to step forward to show his courtesy, but was blocked by Li Bingdao: "Do you want to die? Just do whatever you have to do!"
"As officers and soldiers guarding the city gate, you opened the city gate without checking after someone shouted at you? You have neglected your duty..."
Li Zhong: "..."
Li Zhong was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother, but he didn't dare!
These guards are murderous at first glance.
"Look for a place to stay. Stay one night tonight. Everyone has enough to eat and drink. Bring dry food and water. We will continue our journey early tomorrow morning."
Li Zhong immediately sent people out of the city to deliver the message. At the same time, he also asked people to quickly inform Cui Shanwei, the governor of the city, that the king of hell is here. What should you do?
