Chapter 168 Helpless
Just as Bai Jingyuan was so angry that he slapped the table and Shuyu led his troops north all night, the King of Yan was gnawing on the legs of lamb to watch the dancer dance.
It was snowing outside, but the wide tent was warm. The dancer was wearing a light water red gauze dress and dancing around the brazier. His beautiful face was as charming as silk, and his snow-white waist was exposed, swaying like a water snake. The narrow top was decorated with thin gold pieces, making a pleasant sound when he jumped.
The King of Yan was very happy to see it, and laughed, but instead of leaving the throne and hugging her, he said something else:
"Brother! This method is wonderful!"
A while ago, the Chu envoy blocked the king's tent and wanted to speak out. Facing Zhang Yuan's stubborn old face who was not afraid of death, he lost his temper and refused to admit defeat. He wanted to find Gongzi Bai but couldn't find it everywhere. Finally, he found it, but learned that he had escaped from Yan State and was taken back by the Chu people. He didn't know if he was a rabbit and could run away so much.
After living for so many years, he has never been arguing for the only one who makes people feel depressed. This is the first time I have been forced to do so miserably!
Now, as long as he insists on his children's marriage and guides the rumors, he will not only give the Chu State a good reputation, let them realize the power of the Yan people, but also get rid of the annoying Chu State envoy - they marched in a hurry recently, and the old Zhang Yuan could not keep up, which made the King of Yan feel very happy!
As for Princess Ono's reputation, is there any suspicion of running away from the tent when he hurriedly led his troops out of the tent?
Haha, who cares about those false things these days!
Besides, Ono is still so young. When she grows up, everything will pass. Not to mention whether her reputation is good, even if she grows up in the future, she will be the eldest princess of Yan State one day, and there will be a constant stream of people coming to propose marriage. It may be a bit difficult to marry other princes and princes as queens. Is it not easy to marry those noble families?
For him, solving this matter is the most important thing to do with the conditions of minimizing losses.
Gui Zi waved his hand helplessly and signaled the dancer and musician to retreat first. Then he said helplessly: "This is a helpless move, why can the eldest brother be happy?"
This is also their fault.
The original idea of returning to the country was to follow Zhang Yuan. In this way, compensation was small, and taking the opportunity to establish a relationship with Chu was the most important thing. When the countries were in chaos, Chu would be an alliance, which was the best strategy for Yan.
However, Guimang couldn't swallow his aggrieved anger and insisted on forcing him to think of another way. He had no choice but to make such a bad move. Unexpectedly, the eldest brother was not ashamed, but rather proud. To be honest, if the two were not brothers, Gui Zhu wanted to retire and become his rich man.
"What's the point of helplessness? From what I think, you're thinking too much! Chu is in the south, we are in the north, so we can't fight. Why are you afraid of offending them?"
King Yan took the rhinoceros horn cup carved with cloud patterns and drank the cup of horse milk wine in one gulp, signaling the maid to fill it with it, with a very disdainful expression.
He can offend all neighboring countries, but he is really not afraid of Chu State far away!
If Bai Jingyuan was here, he would definitely complain: "Probably every hooligan thought so before he was arrested! He thought that fighting the whole street would be invincible, and that he would be invincible in the world."
Gui Zi shook his head, obviously disagreeing with his statement, but as early as when his eldest brother succeeded to the throne, he swore to do his duty as a minister.
Therefore, even if the king is the elder brother of his mother, as long as it is not too out of line, he will not go against his intentions.
Just like countless times before, since things have happened, Gui Zi will not insist on this matter.
He just knocked on the wheelchair armrest and changed the topic as if nothing had happened: "Brother, what do you think Chu Ren will do when he receives the news?"
Thinking about it, he said, "If you really come to marry Ono and ask us to send her to Chu State to get married, are you willing to give it?"
King Yan was about to say, "What else can I do? At worst, I can do it and see who is stronger. I don't believe it. Our veterans who have been through the battlefield are not as good as those weak chickens in Chu who have never seen blood." After hearing the second half of the sentence, his face turned black: "The descendants of the King of Chu are thin. After Prince Bai succeeded to the throne, the most important thing is to spread branches and leaves. It is impossible to marry our Ono."
"What if? The little princess of Jin has married King Zhao, among the countries, only we Ono is worthy of our identity."
What if the Chu people also value bloodline like them and insist on marrying a princess with a noble status as the queen?
Hearing this, King Yan was so angry that he lost the bones of lamb on his hands. The maid wanted to wipe his hands for him, but he also patted the wall on the wall. The slave was so scared that he knelt all over the ground and begged for mercy.
"Get down! Get down all of them!"
When talking about this, King Yan was so angry that his hair and beard were all open, and he had cracked the good case!
Seeing that he was angry, everyone quickly rolled and crawled away, with extremely skillful movements.
Only the oldest servants around King Yan were left in the tent, and the old servant who pushed a wheelchair for Uncle Ying. He then cursed: "The one with the surname Qi is shameless! Seeing that the queen's family lost power, she killed someone and married her. It was really a drought that was drought, and a flood that was drought that was drought that was drought!"
Queen Zhao was originally a princess of Lu, but King Lu was killed by him. Seeing that Yan and Lu had no chance of resolving their feud. As a son-in-law, King Zhao did not want to avenge his father-in-law, but instead killed the queen and married the princess of Jin.
For someone like King Yan who can never marry a princess, just listening to this kind of thing can make your eyes red with jealousy!
If it weren't for this, the little princess of Jin might have married Prince Bai. If Prince Bai had already decided on the queen's choice, his Ono wouldn't have taken such a risk.
"I don't know what Prince Zhao would think if he gave up Lu and instead joined the Jin Dynasty."
Guizi smiled and comforted the angry King of Yan with a gentle word.
Speaking of which, King Zhao is their relative uncle!
Although he does not admit it.
Compared to Gui Ma, Gui Mang pays more attention to his current feelings than his long-term future. When the two said this, it was almost time to part.
Guizhe yawned and was about to ask the old servant to push him back when he saw his personal soldiers coming in with a blood-faced man in his face. When he looked closely, he was a scout sent out!
"What's going on?"
After going deeper into the Great Memorial, they could not have been unprepared. Seeing that the scout came back with injuries, the King of Yan woke up immediately.
Compared to those twists and turns, he prefers to lead troops to rush.
In his opinion, the world is about to be in chaos, and only the soldiers at hand are the most important.
"Chu, Chu people, fight, fight..."
The scout escaped with injuries. If he hadn't been forcibly breathing, he would have fallen outside the camp. Now when he saw the king, he was excited and did not breathe up and fainted.
"Splash water!"
In the cold weather, my comrades couldn't bear it, so the waiter next to King Yan went out and brought a basin of water full of ice, which was poured onto the scout without hesitation.
Obviously, I don't plan to save it.
The scout was stimulated to open his eyes, his pupils began to dissipate, but he felt like he was looking back and said the last sentence of his life: "Uncle Gongyu, coming..."
After saying a word, the scout became soft and fell into the arms of his comrade.
The tent was covered with snow-white lamb skin, and the ice water washed the blood from his body everywhere. The King of Yan waved his hand impatiently and signaled the attendant to clean up quickly.
"Come on! Take the lonely horse!"
The King of Yan was brave and had just drunk alcohol, so he was even more fearless!
Immediately, someone was wearing it for him, and the horse was brought over.
The King of Yan was quite straightforward, lifted the tent, turned over the horse, raised his arms and shouted: "Follow the enemy with the will of my own!"
