Chapter 204 Walking Water

  Emperor Jin'an paused for a moment, his voice could not hear any emotion: "Then you still want me as the emperor?"

  Qin Huaisu did not answer, and the whole hall fell silent.

  The corners of the queen's mouth rose, and her mood became more and more cheerful. Qin Huaiyuan couldn't bear to take a step forward anymore, he knew what Emperor Jin'an was planning and why he did it. But looking at the person in front of him, his heart really didn't allow him to watch on the sidelines any longer.

"In this war, the old king of Xining returned with a crane, and the whole Xining was panicked and civil strife continued. Instead of being obsessed with the love of your children, the princess might as well think about the way to go next. What's more, it is you in Xining who are asking for my Dasheng, princess. Where does the courage come from to ask the lonely emperor to go to Xining?"

   "Everything can be said just by the princess's mouth. Who knows whether it is the emperor's younger brother who is really happy or has a dark heart."

  Qin Huaiyuan walked up to Zhaoyue and stared at her, as if he could see through her. Zhaoyue's scalp was numb from Qin Huaiyuan's gaze, she subconsciously took a step back to the side.

  Seeing that everything was going smoothly in the direction she expected, but the prince of Dasheng came out and inserted a bar, which made Zhaoyue secretly hate.

Qin Huaisu let out a cold snort from his throat, his expression was as indifferent as ice, and he looked at Zhaoyue with no warmth: "Princess Xining may have said something wrong. You said that you are destined to be the next empress. Knowing what the princess said, your uncle is willing."

   Zhaoyue's heart tightened when she heard him mention Uncle Wang, and she suddenly raised her head to look at Qin Huaisu.

  Xining's Qi Wang is the younger brother of the old Xining king, and has always been ambitious and eyeing the imperial power in Xining. This civil strife in Xining was caused by him, but he didn't know that the cunning and cunning him had secretly communicated with Qin Huaisu.

   Zhaoyue had a bad premonition in her heart.

Qin Huaisu turned his head to look at Dasheng's officials: "The other day old Xining King's younger brother Qi Wang sent an urgent letter, saying that he is willing to give all of Xining's territory north of Mohe to Dasheng, but the condition is only to keep Princess Xining in Dasheng. At the end of Qin Huaisu's words, there was a specious sneer: "The land north of Mohe, you all know its meaning. From this point of view, Princess Zhaoyue's conditions are not very generous."

The eyes of the ministers became complicated. The land north of Mohe is dangerous and easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is very important for Dasheng Dasheng. If it is really ceded to Dasheng as he promised, let alone Xining in the future. It is even more difficult for other countries to invade Dasheng.

Now the war is at a stalemate. On the one hand, the confrontation between the two armies has eased the battle because of this level of discussion; Only then did Princess Zhaoyue have the confidence to come over and talk about how to get along with Qin and Jin in peace.

   Zhaoyue's face was almost cracked, Uncle Wang's letter clearly meant to put her to death and keep her in Dasheng, it was really cruel.

Zhaoyue is from Xining, of course she understands the importance of this piece of land in Xining, she never thought that the old man would give up this piece of land for the sake of the superior, if he really got his way, the land her father guarded with his life might be After eating, he will be torn apart by the surrounding wolves, tigers and leopards, step back step by step.

The air was stagnant, and the soldiers behind Xining moved their feet and stood in four directions to surround Zhaoyue in the center to protect her. The old emperor on the seat suddenly laughed a few words: "A Sumo is joking, now At this time, Princess Xining is willing to come to my Dasheng in person, it is true that the heroine of the female middle school is very courageous, why should A Su be so serious, don't scare others."

  Emperor Jin'an laughed, but the look of plunder in his eyes never disappeared. He has sat in this position for so long, and the ambition in his heart has never dissipated. No matter how you look at it, the conditions proposed by Prince Xining are the most favorable at the moment.

It doesn't matter to Dasheng whoever sits in that position in Xining, and the marriage is just an opportunity to send Qin Huaisu away, but if it is true that the other prince said that he is willing to give up the territory to Dasheng, It is not impossible to swallow the whole of Xining in the future.

  In the future, he may be the name of a wise emperor who will go down in history and be passed down for thousands of years.

He suppressed the aggression and killing intent that was about to come out in his eyes, buckled the dragon chair, and said in a calm tone: "In my Dasheng, peace is the most important thing, and there is some truth in what the princess said, but this matter is of great importance, and I have to love you all." Qing has discussed it carefully. It is not easy for the princess to come to our court, why not take this opportunity to experience my Dasheng's customs and customs, and stay for a few more days."

  Nominally, they wanted to keep her as a guest, but they inevitably wanted to detain her. Zhaoyue's teeth itched with hatred, she couldn't figure out how Qin Huaisu could be so ruthless, and just a few words put her into such a situation.

Qin Huaisu turned a blind eye to Zhaoyue's ruthlessness, and raised the corner of his robe and knelt upwards: "Father, my son and minister led the army before, and Father promised to serve me and Jiang Changning when I am victorious and return to court." The marriage is bestowed, although the war is not completely over now, but the outcome has already been decided, my son has the courage to ask Father to fulfill his original promise."

  Emperor Jin'an did not expect Qin Huaisu to raise this matter in front of everyone so impatiently, and was a little annoyed in his heart.

  He had just perfunctoryly said that Princess Xining would consider getting married, and now Qin Huaisu asked him to marry him in front of all the ministers, not to mention that it violated his original plan, but now he was slapped in the face.

  Emperor Jin'an's face turned cold, and he could see a bit of anger: "Since you said that this battle is not completely over, why are you so eager to ask for rewards from me?"

As soon as these words came out, Qin Huaisu raised his eyelids and before he had time to say anything, a minister stood up behind him and said, "Your Majesty, I think it's obviously a meritorious service for His Royal Highness to lead the army to the front and turn the tide of the battle." Outstanding, can be rewarded! "

There was such a beginning, and then some people came forward one after another, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Yan Wang suffered a life-threatening battle for our Dasheng people. The reward has been set before, and according to the old minister, the Yan Wang should be rewarded." !"

   "Your Majesty's lesson—"

   "Your Majesty—"

  …

   I didn't expect so many people to stand up to support Qin Huaisu. This time in the battle with Xining, Qin Huaisu won the hearts of most of the generals for Qin Huaisu.

Emperor Jin'an gritted his teeth with resentment in his heart. He looked at most of the courtiers who were kneeling at the bottom, and forced himself to gradually ease his expression: "Everyone is right, I am too obedient. If so, I will refer to Qin Tianjian to choose an auspicious day. Personally offer a marriage to Ah Su."

   "Thank you, Father, Emperor Long!" Qin Huaisu kowtowed to thank him, with a hint of joy in his usually indifferent eyes.

   "Congratulations to His Royal Highness King Jin."

   "Congratulations, His Royal Highness King Jin!"

   All the ministers echoed, with a flattering look.

  Zhaoyue gritted her teeth tightly, looking at Qin Huaisu with cruel and poisonous eyes.

  Emperor Jin'an looked at the officials below, narrowed his eyes slightly, and snorted coldly: "A Su, you have worked hard these days, so you can rest in the palace for a few days."

  Qin Huaisu cupped his hands and said, "My son, thank you, Father!"

  Emperor Jin'an waved his sleeves and looked exhausted: "I still have to deal with government affairs and retire."

   "My son respectfully sends off my father!"

  Emperor Jin'an left with a bit of anger. Before leaving, he glanced at the officials. When his eyes swept over Princess Xining, he paused for a moment, and then moved away.

Qin Huaisu looked at Zhaoyue, with the corner of his mouth slightly raised. This time, he didn't mind letting Zhaoyue stay in Dasheng for a few more days. When Dasheng and King Qi of Xining reached a consensus, and the land in the north of Mohe was in his pocket, he would It is not too late to send troops to attack Xining.

   Zhaoyue returned to the inn full of reluctance, and after closing the door, she smashed everything in the wing room.

  Hu Jiu stood aside silently, and waited for her to vent before saying: "Princess, Xining is in danger now, let's go back to Xining."

  Qin Huaisu will not lie, if King Qi is really asked to cede the city, then the whole of Xining will be ruined.

  Different from Hu Jiu's burning with impatience, Zhaoyue's vision is the smile on the corner of Qin Huaisu's mouth after the marriage bestowed by Emperor Jin'an.

  The strong jealousy made Zhaoyue almost go crazy.

   "Hu Jiu, didn't you hear what Emperor Jin'an said just now?" Zhaoyue looked at Hu Wei angrily, "He wants to give Qin Huaisu a marriage!"

  Seeing that Zhaoyue was still obsessed, Hu Jiu couldn't help but sighed, and stopped talking.

"You are dumb, talk!" Before Hu Jiu could respond, Zhaoyue screamed, "He is not benevolent and I am not righteous, so I want to stay in Dasheng for a few more days. Wait for the opportunity, when Xining stabilizes, I want to kill Qin Huaisu with my own hands."

"Princess." Hu Jiu said softly: "Qin Huaisu is not only a prince now, but also has a heavy army in his hands. We are in Dasheng now. If the princess really fights against him, we will suffer only ourselves. If the princess wants to Revenge is still waiting for the future to plan slowly."

   Zhaoyue was in a rage, so Hu Jiu's advice naturally couldn't be listened to.

  The two had disagreements for the first time, and broke up unhappy.

  At nightfall, the entire station fell into a deep sleep.

  Under the moonlight as clear as water, I saw a person flipping into the side room nimbly and lightly, and then thick black smoke accompanied by firelight pierced the quiet night.

   "The water is gone! The water is gone!"

  Hurry up and put out the fire! "

   "Help!"

   A loud shout sounded in the post house.

   As soon as Zhaoyue lay down, she was awakened by the noise outside, and jumped out of bed in a jerk.

  As soon as she ran into the yard, she found that the fire was getting hotter and hotter.

   "Water! Water!"

  Although there were many guards in the post house, they couldn't take care of them at all under such circumstances. Some people fled in a panic, while some stayed where they were, and didn't realize it until they saw Zhaoyue.

   "Princess! Let's go!" A Xining guard immediately shouted seeing Zhaoyue rushing out.

   "Princess!" Hu Jiu also rushed out, and several people ran out of the post station protecting Zhaoyue.

Seeing that he was about to leave the burning courtyard, a hidden weapon rushed towards Zhaoyue with a strong murderous intent, and then dozens of assassins wearing night clothes rushed out and surrounded them, with swords flashing in their hands. The cold light approached Zhaoyue.

   Zhaoyue's complexion changed.

  These people came after her.

  Seeing this, Hu Jiu and his personal guards stood in front of Zhaoyue one after another, brandishing the sword in their hands, resisting the blade that was attacking Zhaoyue, screaming, blood spattering.

  Zhaoyue was protected in it, kept backing away, and was tightly protected by Hu Jiu.

  The sword in Hu Jiu's hand has already killed three or four fresh lives under his sword.

  Hu Jiu glanced at the assassins with cold eyes, his lips were tightly pressed, and a pair of dark eyes burst out with a powerful killing intent.

   "Who the **** are you guys?"

   "The one who killed you!" One of the old men in black said in a hoarse voice, standing behind a tree like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark.

   "Do you know who we are?" Hu Jiu still had a glimmer of hope.

  The old man in black laughed when he heard the sound: "It's just some dying people."

  Gu Huchou's heart sank completely, the opponent obviously came prepared, and tonight would be a **** battle.

  Hu Chen calmly covered Zhaoyue's figure and looked at the crowd with disdain: "You think you can kill the princess with your mettle? You're not good enough."

   "Stop talking nonsense, kill!"" The assassins stopped talking nonsense and attacked Hu Jiu directly.

"Humph!"

  Hu Jiu snorted coldly, raised the sword in his hand, and cut off the long knife that was attacking him.

  Turn around and cut down several assassins who attacked him. With a flick of the sword in his hand, he went straight to the assassin's throat.

  When the assassin saw this, he quickly dodged, but Hu Jiu missed a hit, turned around and slashed at another assassin.

   Seeing this, the assassins quickly drew their swords to resist, but the weapons in their hands could not stop Hu Jiu's pace at all. In just a few breaths, six or seven assassins fell down.

  The rest of the assassins saw that the situation was not good, and rushed forward to surround Hu Jiu.

   "Princess, you leave first." Seeing that the situation was not good, Hu Jing immediately turned around and said to Zhaoyue beside him.

   "No! I can never leave you alone." Zhaoyue gritted her teeth and said.

   "Princess, don't worry, the subordinates can get out of trouble." Hu Jiu comforted Zhaoyue.

  They are now surrounded by heavy siege, no matter where they run, they cannot escape. The only way out is to fight a **** path.

  Hu Jing knew that at this moment he had to fight desperately, otherwise they would be wiped out.

   "Kill!" Hu Jiu exerted force on his wrist, and the sword in his hand pierced the sky again.

   With a pop, another corpse lay on the ground.

  Hu Jiu seized this opportunity, grabbed Zhaoyue, and jumped up.

  The two of them fled quickly one after the other.

  The assassin saw that Hu Jiu had escaped, and immediately chased after him.

   At the moment when Hu Jiu took Zhaoyue's hand and rushed out of the gate of the post station. Hu Jiu was suddenly hit by a sword on his back, and blood sprayed out.

   Zhaoyue exclaimed, and quickly supported Hu Jiu.

   "Princess, you leave here first." Hu Jiu pushed Zhaoyue away, covered his back, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm coming to the queen."

   After finishing speaking, he rushed towards the assassin who was chasing him. He knew that he had reached the end of his life, and if he continued like this, he would definitely die. But he must hold on for his most beloved princess.

   Zhaoyue's eyes are blood red, and her canthus are about to split. The fire and blood turned the whole station into a purgatory on earth.

  The assassins rushed forward, Hu Jiu was seriously injured, with several holes pierced through his back, bleeding profusely. Hu Jiu gritted his teeth and hugged an assassin's leg tightly.

   "Let's go! Princess!"
