Chapter 234
Chapter 234 Crazy with Jealousy
Xue Qingyin was still in a daze, but the Meng clan king was already so anxious that he grabbed her wrist.
She pulled off the hanging cloak with her backhand, hurriedly wrapped herself up, and then turned to look out the door.
After the Mon king came in, he didn't close the door.
There were bright lights outside the door, and under the night, groups of people could be vaguely seen...
Xue Qingyin did not speak, but whispered: "Ayu, let's go."
Only then did Qiao Xinyu get up from behind the bed, startling the King of the Meng clan.
"How did she..."
"Oh, I want her to accompany me every day and answer my call." Xue Qingyin looked arrogant.
The king of the Meng clan had no doubts.
The status of the Meng dynasty was clearly defined. In his eyes, this "Ayu" was just like a slave of the Men clan. She should be kneeling down to serve Xue Qingyin, and be there whenever she is called.
The king of the Meng clan held Xue Qingyin's wrist without letting go, and whispered: "Let's go."
Then, while he was pulling her away, he would look back at her from time to time, with an imperceptible scrutiny in his eyes.
"King." As expected, the ministers and several Mon generals were waiting outside.
Xue Qingyin had no doubt that if she deliberately held back the Mon king, she would definitely be killed here.
People like them always know clearly what is important at a critical moment.
Probably because Xue Qingyin cooperated enough, the Meng clan king still stuffed her into a soft sedan chair.
Several Mon slaves picked it up and were able to walk quickly.
Xue Qingyin rolled up a corner of the curtain and sighed quietly.
When King Xuan entered the city and found that they had escaped so quickly...well, would he be even more angry?
"Wait a minute." The voice of the Meng clan king suddenly sounded.
So the group of people walked across the street and stopped.
Xue Qingyin poked her head curiously and found that the king of the Meng clan seemed to be waiting for someone.
They didn't wait too long, and soon they heard the sound of horse hooves and the sound of weak scoldings.
"You barbarians..."
"I'm about to leave in a hurry, but my Liang Chao army has invaded?"
Hmm...the voice sounded strangely familiar.
Xue Qingyin curled her lips and waited for the team to get closer to take a closer look.
Sure enough, it was King Wei!
Don't forget to take King Wei with you when you run away... It seems that King Wei can't escape this disaster.
The king of Wei was thrown on the back of a horse and turned over all the way.
It was so jolting that his insides almost vomited out.
Only then did he realize that people could be so tenacious and endure such torture without dying...
"King!" The man on horseback jumped down and saluted the Mon king.
The Mon king said: "What time is it? There is no need to be polite."
The man looked excited and hurriedly unhooked King Wei from his horse.
After not seeing him for many days, King Wei had become so thin that he was out of shape, and he no longer looked like he had been when he was well-dressed and well-fed. The clothes looked a little empty on him.
He swayed, looked dizzily towards the king of the Meng clan, and said angrily: "Are you their king? You dare to invade the border of the Liang Dynasty, but now you are being chased like a lost dog..."
The king of the Meng clan was not angry, and just said: "Why is King Wei so powerful? You are a prisoner. It is your brother who wins the battle, not you."
King Wei's face was ugly, and he was about to say something, but at this moment he noticed the soft sedan chair that was out of place...
There was a woman beside the sedan chair with lowered eyebrows and lowered eyes.
Although she had tried her best to avoid King Wei's gaze, how could there be an idiot who couldn't recognize the person next to her?
King Wei's expression suddenly changed, his mind was in a state of confusion, and he couldn't figure out why Qiao Xinyu appeared here!
She was neatly dressed and not at all flustered, which was in stark contrast to him.
King Wei had a complicated mood. He was suspicious of Qiao Xinyu, but he also didn't want his concubine to see him like this...
"you……"
King Wei's voice blurted out.
At this time, Xue Qingyin lifted the curtain faster: "Still not leaving?" "If you don't leave... I'm afraid my husband will string you together like candied haws."
King of the Meng clan: "..."
Other ministers and generals: "..."
They suddenly remembered the tragic situation in Beidi back then.
At that time, King Xuan, who was still a young general, stood beside the pile of corpses. He lightly picked up his spear and said that the heads of the princes and nobles were strung up.
...candied haws.
What a fucking description of hell!
"Xue Qingyin?!" King Wei's eyes were immediately attracted, and all the complicated emotions he had towards Qiao Xinyu disappeared in an instant.
King Wei only looked at Xue Qingyin in shock, never expecting that the "distinguished person" sitting in the sedan would be her!
"You...you and the Meng clan...you..." King Wei was confused and couldn't form a sentence.
The Mon king only uttered one word: "Let's go!"
So King Wei was arrested and put into a prison car.
The team started running again.
His concubine was close at hand, but she didn't even look at him...
King Wei was so upset that his nose hurt, he was angry and collapsed.
After traveling quickly for an unknown amount of time, they finally arrived at another city named "Zicheng".
But the scale of this city is not as strong as the towers in Yizhou.
The king of the Meng clan knew very well that sooner or later they would have to fight back...
"The national master is trapped in the enemy's camp and must be rescued." After settling in, the Mon king took the initiative to mention it.
The ministers looked at each other and hesitated: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to rescue..."
The Mon king said: "Well, how about exchanging hostages?"
The ministers now lost their previous toughness. They looked at Xue Qingyin and said nothing.
Previously, Yizhou officials acted as internal agents, and they were assisted by rebels and others who were familiar with the Liang Dynasty's military system and terrain. In addition, the Mon soldiers were not afraid of life and death. They were so powerful that they captured the entire Yizhou with almost no effort.
Now after the battle, I have a more realistic understanding of how powerful King Xuan is...
The "preciousness" of Xue Qingyin was immediately highlighted!
The king of Wei hung it on the wall for many days, but it was useless!
I'm afraid only Princess Xuan will be useful.
At this time, someone stood up and said in a weak voice: "If we don't save the national master, I'm afraid he will be in trouble."
Xue Qingyin took a closer look.
Oh, doesn’t this work for Zixu?
He actually followed the large army all the way over.
While Qian Zixu was talking, he also looked at Xue Qingyin quietly.
The two exchanged glances in a very subtle way.
"Why do you say this?" the minister asked. They didn't recognize Qian Zixu, and when they saw that he had a Liang face, they looked at him more suspiciously.
Qian Zixu told the story of the provocative letter he wrote at that time.
He said: "Based on the nature of King Xuan, he originally said that he would chop off the head of the imperial master to make a chamber pot. In his jealousy, he might even peel off his skin to make a rug and remove the meat to feed the dogs."
He sincerely hoped that they would exchange Xue Qingyin.
This time the ministers were silent again.
Change the national teacher?
An extremely important chess piece is missing.
Not changing?
It doesn't make sense.
"Why not give it a try... put the knife on Princess Xuan's neck and force King Xuan to retreat?" someone said.
Xue Qingyin thought to herself that you are really at a loss.
She took a look.
The speaker was a bearded man.
OK, I remember you.
The other ministers were silent for a while. They all knew what the king was thinking. I'm afraid... I'm afraid the king wouldn't be able to bear it!
At this time, Xue Qingyin lazily said: "Can't I just trade it with Qiao Teng?"
Qiao Xinyu clenched her fists.
Princess Xuan wouldn't go back in her place... but would go back in her father's place.
Qiao Xinyu's fingernails pinched the palm of her hand until it hurt, and she didn't dare to turn her head to look at Xue Qingyin for fear of being noticed.
The turbulent emotions can only be buried deep in the end.
The Meng clan king's eyes flickered, but no one knew that his mood was also very complicated.
He turned to look at Xue Qingyin, wanting to ask her if this was what she expected...
"Qiao Teng...is...the governor of Yizhou?" Someone thought of this figure.
Xue Qingyin nodded: "Your Wang Yingming and Shenwu have captured him."
The ministers' eyes lit up: "Isn't that just right!"
No need to lose an important Princess Xuan.
Just exchange it for this Jiedushi.
"No, Jiedushi has tens of thousands of soldiers under his command. Those soldiers obey his orders better than the imperial court. If we keep him, we can still use him to command Yizhou soldiers!"
"But with Princess Xuan in our hands, we can force back King Xuan's army of hundreds of thousands."
"Besides, King Xuan may not give in for a Jiedushi. You don't know these Liang Dynasty officials too well. The only daughter of the Jiedushi is the concubine of King Wei. King Xuan can even abandon the King of Wei, let alone the King of Wei. The father of King Wei’s concubine!”
They argued endlessly.
Xue Qingyin is not too worried about the results.
Because the Mon king is tough at heart...he will make the best choice for them. Even with this choice, he himself was not very happy.
Xue Qingyin said tiredly: "I'm tired."
The king of the Meng clan whispered: "Then go and have a rest."
King Wei: "..." This king of the Meng clan is quite gentle.
Sure enough, he was not the only one who coveted Xue Qingyin's good looks.
But King Wei still felt awkward.
The awkwardness was probably because... he had previously been bent on rescuing Xue Qingyin from fire and water, but in the end he was captured in a state of embarrassment, while she was treated as a distinguished guest by the king of the Meng clan...
Xue Qingyin left immediately.
Of course no one else could stop him, only a few Mon soldiers followed.
Qian Zixu, Dou Ruyun and others glanced at her leaving back without leaving any trace.
They couldn't help but secretly sigh... At times like this, Princess Xuan was really sacrificing herself for others.
Xue Qingyin had no idea that her reputation was about to turn into a "living Bodhisattva". She closed the door, turned around and said to Qiao Xinyu who was following her: "Don't worry, Prince Xuan will definitely be willing to change."
Qiao Xinyu was startled and said hurriedly: "No, I'm not worried. Princess Xuan sacrificed herself today and offered to let my father do the exchange. I am extremely grateful in my heart."
She paused and said seriously: "King Xuan loves you very much, and everyone in the capital knows it after the flower viewing banquet. He wants to go back in exchange for you, and that's how it should be."
Xue Qingyin shook her head and said: "If I say he will agree, he will definitely agree."
Qiao Xinyu said blankly: "That means His Highness has a noble character, which is hard to find in the world..."
But after thinking about it, I feel that it is inappropriate to say so. As if Princess Xuan wasn’t noble enough...
Qiao Xinyu wanted to say something else.
Xue Qingyin said proudly: "Well, he has an upright nature. This is just one of them. The second one... is naturally because he and I have the same heart and soul!"
Is this what Princess Xuan relies on?
Qiao Xinyu was so shocked that she was speechless for a moment.
Her parents were so loving that they could never reach this point.
Are there really couples in this world who are so spiritually connected?
Yizhou City.
Fang Chengzhong cleaned up the mess and then bravely faced King Xuan.
The people finally dared to go out of their homes and lined the streets to greet them.
They didn't care about the wet blood on the ground that hadn't completely dried yet, and they knelt down excitedly: "Greetings to His Majesty King Xuan!"
They also heard that the Meng people had the custom of peeling people's skin and bones, so who wouldn't be afraid?
Aliens are aliens, and they will never cherish their lives.
When they knew that King Xuan had broken in... they really couldn't help but be excited.
The cold face of King Xuan, who was about to rule them, became much closer because of this battle.
They trusted him, worshipped him, and truly believed that it was a great blessing for them to become the people of King Xuan's fiefdom, and perhaps there would be no worries about war in the next few years.
As they thought about it, they shed tears of excitement.
Meanwhile, Fang Chengzhong sighed and reported to King Xuan in a low voice: "The King of Meng has run away, and the King of Wei has also been taken away."
King Xuan said in a slightly stern tone: "I don't care."
Fang Chengzhong was silent for a moment, and could only say: "...Princess, Princess, she is also missing. I think... I think she was taken away together."
After saying this, Fang Chengzhong didn't even dare to breathe.
King Xuan didn't say anything, but rode forward.
Fang Chengzhong raised his eyes and saw a gloomy color quickly passing through King Xuan's eyes.
Soon after, a personal guard came to report that the King of Meng had stayed at the Governor's Mansion, and the Governor's Mansion had also recruited several maids to serve the nobles. It was also mentioned that the King of Meng brought a Liang Dynasty-style sedan chair...
When the King of Meng left, the maids didn't take so many with them.
I don't know if they couldn't take them with them, or if they left two on purpose.
After one of them pointed out, King Xuan came to the house where Xue Qingyin had lived.
There was still a faint fragrance in the room.
Xue Qingyin had not taken medicine for a long time, and the smell of medicine on her body was getting fainter. She had been close to King Xuan for a long time, so she was also stained with some of his incense.
But now, all that remained was a strange fragrance.
Presumably, after arriving at the Meng tribe, she used the incense that the Meng tribe was accustomed to... or, it was the Meng tribe king who deliberately changed her incense.
King Xuan lowered his eyes expressionlessly.
Others only heard a crisp sound.
They were startled and looked over instinctively, and saw King Xuan breaking a piece of incense stick with his fingers.
"Your Highness..." Fang Chengzhong couldn't bear to speak.
King Xuan said lightly: "Rest quickly, go out to fight tomorrow, and take back Zicheng."
"Yes!"
If we can't get the princess back this day... won't we have to fight all the way to Golmud of the Meng Dynasty!
Fang Chengzhong suddenly had this idea in his mind...
That's... too shocking. He swallowed his saliva. There was even a moment when he almost suspected that this was a large-scale honey trap.
"We will stay here today." King Xuan's voice sounded again. He walked to the bed, but first took off his blood-stained coat, and then slowly lay down.
Fang Chengzhong was speechless and retreated with the others.
King Xuan closed his eyes.
The jealousy in his heart grew like a vine.
He knew her naturally.
But the jealousy was still jealous.
The strange fragrance filled his nose, and the jealousy became more crazy.
Zicheng.
The King of Meng came to Xue Qingyin's courtyard and said in a light tone: "The ministers unanimously decided to send Qiao Teng to exchange."
Xue Qingyin: "Hmm."
The King of Meng smiled and asked her: "Did you achieve your wish?" He paused and said: "I really can't see your thoughts clearly."
Xue Qingyin's eyes suddenly condensed, looking over the shoulder of the King of Meng and looking outside the courtyard.
Outside the courtyard, several Yizhou officials stood there.
They were taken away by the King of the Meng Tribe... but among them there was a face that Xue Qingyin was very familiar with.
He Songning... how did he get in?
For the first time since Xue Qingyin entered the book, she had a bold idea -
Can she let these two fight?
Let's see who is more powerful, the King of the Meng Tribe, or who is more powerful than He Songning?
She wants to test He Songning's aura as the male protagonist!
