King of Southern Pacification
King of Southern Pacification
Guards, take this man out and behead him for me!
Everyone was stunned, Yuan Pei looked at Feng Zhiyao, and Feng Zhiyao turned to look at Xu Qingze who was sitting on the side reading a book. Perhaps it was because of Feng Zhiyao's intense gaze that Xu Qingze, who usually didn't speak much, put down his book and raised his head to say to Ye Li: Little sister, when two armies clash, they don't kill the messenger. Ye Li smiled slightly: Thank you for reminding me, Second Brother. So, Mr. Mo, are you going to walk out yourself or have Benfei order you to?
Who would throw you out? Mo Fei looked at the crowd, sneered and said: Is this really the way the Queen of Dong Chu treats her guests? Ye Li replied calmly: Guests are to be treated with courtesy, but if they come as thieves, I don't need to be polite, do I? Mo Fei raised an eyebrow and stared at her: Our king's proposal, Your Majesty won't consider it? Ye Li sat high
Looking down, she gazed at him lightly, a faint, icy smile playing on her lips. Mr. Mo, do you really think the empress won't kill you?
Isn't the smile on his face slightly stiff? Since he can be sent out as an envoy of King Town South to see Ye Lian, he naturally has some real skills. How could he not see the hidden killing intent and coldness in the eyes of this beautiful green-clothed woman in front of him?
Mo Fei smiled wryly and nodded, saying: I understand, in that case... I'll take my leave first. After finishing speaking, Mo Fei cupped his hands to Ye Li and turned around to walk outwards. This time when he came to Jiang Xia City, he originally thought it was a very easy matter, after all, the Crown Princess of Ding Guo no matter how high her position or powerful she was, was still just a woman, everything she had was dependent on the King of Ding, Mo Fei didn't take her too seriously.
She put it in her eyes, but didn't think that the king's wife wouldn't give him any chance at all, and even made him want to say things without having a chance to speak before hastily retreating.
Ye Li stared at his back as he walked away and smiled faintly: Stop him.
Before the words had fallen, two figures suddenly appeared at the door, blocking Mo Fei's path. Mo Fei's eyes jumped, and he turned to glare at Ye Li, his voice stern: "Your Highness, what do you mean by this?" Ye Li smiled: "Mr. Mo is free to leave if he wishes, but as for the King of Zhen Nan, I'm afraid it will be necessary for him to stay behind." Mo Fei's expression changed slightly, and he forced a laugh: "What King of Zhen Nan? Your Highness is joking..."
Are you kidding? As soon as Ye Li's words came out, the people present immediately became vigilant and looked at the four people following Mo Fei. The tall and majestic general was ignored, and the target was locked on the three followers. Feng Zhiyuan Pei and Qin Feng quickly changed their positions, while Zhuo Jing unintentionally leaned towards Xu Qingze's side. Ye Li smiled and stared at one of the men: "Zhen Nan Wang Gong"
Since you've already come, why bother being coy?
A moment later, a loud and boisterous laughter echoed in the room. The tall man standing in the middle, dressed in a servant's attire, casually wiped his face with his hand, and his ordinary appearance changed instantly. Zhen Nan Wang, who was only in his early fifties, had a face that was 70-80% similar to Lei Tengfeng's, but with more dignity and majesty. However, the way he looked at Ye Li made people feel particularly uncomfortable.
Every man can understand what the flashing light in there represents. Feng Zhiyao and others' faces flashed with anger and killing intent at the same time. Ye Lian did not get angry, she had seen all kinds of people for more than 20 years in her previous life. This degree was not enough to make her lose her calmness, she looked at the laughing Zhen Nan Wang with a light expression without speaking. Until Zhen Nan Wang seemed to have finally laughed enough,
He walked to the side and sat down in a chair, with Mo Fei and three others standing respectfully behind him. Even though he was dressed as a servant, he couldn't hide his arrogant aura.
The princess is how to see? Really good eyesight, King Ben admire. Zhen Nan Wang Qi said.
Ye Li pursed her lips and smiled, "Zhuo Jing, has Ben Fei ever taught you that when disguising oneself to sneak in, what is the most important thing?"
Zhuo Jing replied calmly: ordinary and unremarkable, doesn't attract attention.
The King of Zhen Nan raised an eyebrow and said: I don't think there's any flaw in this.
Zhuo Jing glanced at the King of Zhen Nan, then looked up at Ye Li, who nodded slightly. Zhuo Jing said: "People with disabilities are not suitable for disguise." Everyone's attention suddenly focused on the left arm of the King of Zhen Nan. The whole world knew that more than a decade ago, the King of Zhen Nan was defeated by Mo Liu Fang and lost an arm to save his life. Originally, no one had paid much attention, but now with their attention concentrated
Those with keen eyesight immediately noticed something was off. The King of Southern Town had never moved his left arm, and his left hand had always been hidden in his sleeve. Although the sleeve wasn't empty, a closer look still made it seem stiff to an excessive degree. After all, no matter what object it was, even if its shape was identical, it could never replace the tactile sensation of a real arm. The King's expression suddenly froze
The corner of his eye twitched rapidly, obviously Zuo Jing's words had struck a sore spot. Losing to Mo Liu Fang was a shadow and shame that he could never shake off for the rest of his life. However, Mo Liu Fang had been dead for many years, and he didn't even have the chance to win back again. In people's eyes, he would forever be - South King Lei Zhen Ting of Xiling Town, who was not as good as Mo Liu Fang.
Attach great importance to how to defeat Mozi's army and Moziao, because this is the only way he can wash away his shame.
Good, Princess Ting's subordinates are indeed exceptional. After a while, I heard King Zhen Nan say in a deep voice.
Ye Li nodded and smiled faintly: "The prince is overpraising."
Zhen Nan Wang looked at Ye Li for a moment, then asked: Just now, the queen refused my letter without hesitation. I wonder if you can reconsider now?
Ye Li supported her forehead and shook her head, sighing softly: The imperial concubine couldn't find a reason that needed consideration.
King Zhen Nan laughed loudly and said: Does the queen think that I am inferior to Mo Xiu Yao?
Ye Li tilted her head and pondered for a moment before shaking her head: "How could that be? At least the king is older than our king."
The King of Zhen Nan's eyes flickered slightly. The queen was indeed not an ordinary woman. What if the king said that as long as the queen followed him, he would immediately withdraw his troops from East Chu?
How dare you! Yuan Pei was furious, slamming his fist on the table and glaring at King Zhen Nan. The others' expressions were also unpleasant. Ye Li raised her hand to stop Yuan Pei, smiling faintly: "Your Majesty says such things, does he think that Ye Li's brain is not working properly?" King Zhen Nan raised an eyebrow, puzzled: "What do you mean, Your Highness?" Ye Li sneered: "The Western Ridge army of hundreds of thousands invaded our Great Chu, and now that we've finally arrived at Jiang Xia City, it's not easy for Your Majesty to withdraw the troops, is it? Besides... I think it would be more convenient to exchange Your Majesty himself rather than humiliating the country by surrendering. What do you say, Your Majesty?"
Upon hearing this, several attendants of Xiling suddenly changed color. The military general-like man swiftly drew his long sword to protect the King of Town South in front of him. Ye Lixiu raised an eyebrow and smiled without speaking.
The King of Zhen Nan raised his hand and pressed down on the weapon held by his subordinate, saying: "Everyone in this room is a top-notch expert. If the Queen allowed you to bring your sword in, it means she's confident that your sword doesn't pose any threat. Put it away." The man looked at Ye Li with some reluctance, but ultimately followed the King of Zhen Nan's orders and put away his long sword. As he was about to become a prisoner, the King of Zhen Nan didn't seem to be in a hurry. As the host, Ye Li naturally wasn't in a hurry either, sitting calmly and drinking tea. After a while, the King of Zhen Nan sighed and said: "Although I took a risk by coming here today, seeing the Queen makes me feel that it was worth it. What are your plans, Your Majesty?" Ye Li put down her teacup and said: "I've already said that everyone else can leave. Please stay for a few days, Your Highness." The King of Zhen Nan shook his head and said: "Military affairs are busy, I'm afraid I'll be unable to fulfill the Queen's kind intentions."
It doesn't matter, if you think that just relying on a few of you can make it through Jiangxia.
King Zhen Nan bowed his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head and smiled: How about this? I have someone in my hands who might interest the princess. Let's consider this person as a gift to the princess today.
Ye Li raised an eyebrow, her heart slightly moved, but her face remained calm and serene as she looked at him. The King of Zhen Nan did not beat around the bush, speaking directly: "The son of the Marquis of Nan, I heard you are also the brother-in-law of the Queen?"
The young master of the South is in the king's hands? The King of Zhen Nan smiled and didn't speak, Ye Li asked: How can the queen trust the king? The King of Zhen Nan said: I can let the queen see him first.
Seeing him like this, Ye Li knew that the Southern Marquis's son had an 80% chance of being in the hands of the King of Southern Town. The same question arose again - whether to use the King of Southern Town to exchange for the Southern Marquis's son or not.
After a long silence, Ye Li finally lifted her head and said: Alright, once the Crown Prince of Nan Hou sees his wife, he will immediately release Wang Ye from the city.
It's settled then.
Someone was sent to take away Zhen Nan Wang and others, and the study room suddenly boiled over. Yuan Pei anxiously asked: "Wang Fei, exchanging Zhen Nan Wang for Nan Hou Shizi, isn't that too...?" Everyone could see that this was an absolutely losing deal. The weight of Nan Hou Shizi and Zhen Nan Wang differed too much. Ye Li looked at Feng Zhi Yao with a smile and asked: "Feng San, what do you think?" Feng Zhi Yao pointed to his chin with his fan, thought for a moment, and said: "Zhen Nan Wang cannot be killed. If Zhen Nan Wang dies, Jiang Xia and the places occupied by Xi Ling will definitely suffer bloody revenge from Xi Ling. Moreover, Zhen Nan Wang's son, Lei Teng Feng, who is stationed in Xinyang, is not an easy opponent. If he goes crazy and attacks Jiang Xia to avenge his father, we may not be able to hold on. Furthermore, if Zhen Nan Wang dies, the current balance of power between the three countries and the imperial court's thoughts about the Mo Jia army will undergo unpredictable changes. At that time, we... On the other hand, although Nan Hou has always been neutral and unwilling to get involved in worldly affairs, he still has some influence in the imperial court and the military. If we rescue Nan Hou Shizi, even if the Ding Guo Wang Fu cannot gain an ally, at least it will not be an enemy.
Yuan Pei was not unaware of worldly affairs, and after hearing Feng Zhiyao's words, he thought for a moment before nodding: "I, the end general, have been remiss in my thinking. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
Ye Li shook her head and said, "If we could kill the King of Southern Town, it would be great, but unfortunately, we are not yet prepared for this. Let his head stay on his neck for a few more days."
Everyone couldn't help but burst out laughing, and soon Ye Li put on a serious face and said: Let's discuss how to get back the son of the Southern Marquis. Qin Feng, the King of Zhen Nan has been handed over to you. Qin Feng nodded and said: Don't worry, Your Highness, I guarantee that no outsider will even touch a single hair of the King of Zhen Nan.
