Chapter 39: The arrival of Xueqinghe
However, planning is planning, and reality is another matter.
Although Gu Ye had the idea of supporting Cardan as king, the current situation was not enough to achieve his goal. He could only briefly talk to Cardan about his goals and certain things.
Cardan was worried about Gu Ye physically and mentally, and she would agree no matter what Gu Ye said.
That night, Gu Ye and Cardan began to take the first step in planning the Kingdom of Barak.
......
Two days later, at the gate of Soto City, a convoy of cavalry guards slowly drove into Soto City.
Inside the most luxurious carriage in the middle of the convoy, a handsome man in a noble robe sat on the cushion and looked at the books in his hand.
At this moment, the captain of the Knights rode his horse to the side of the carriage and said, "Your Highness, the city of Soto has arrived."
"Yes." Xue Qinghe closed the book, lifted the curtain of the car and looked towards the gate of Soto City.
Xue Qinghe was very happy to visit and inspect the kingdoms and principalities under the command of Emperor Xue Ye.
After all, there are not many opportunities to go out for vacation and play under official business opportunities, and at the same time, there are not many opportunities to convey messages to the Wuhun Hall.
How could he not be happy?
It also allows him to understand that the kingdoms under the Tiandou Empire were dissatisfied with the Tiandou Empire during his inspection of the Duchy Kingdom. This can also provide information for the Wuhun Palace and prepare for their future plans.
Today he should have gone straight to the capital of the Barak Kingdom, but he appeared in Soto City. The reason is naturally because Xue Hong, his nominal cousin, the second prince of the Barak Kingdom.
Now King Barak is old and has a weaker body, and his health is getting worse and worse. He may go west at any time. Xuehong has the delusion of becoming a king.
According to Xue Qinghe's understanding, Xue Hong is definitely a half-bad person. If he takes Xue Hong under his command and pushes Xue Hong to the position of king with his power, he can maximize his interests. Why not do it?
"Cousin Qinghe!"
At this moment, Xue Hong ran out of the city gate excitedly.
At this time, he was not dressed, barefoot, and only had a pajamas on his body.
This scene actually felt a bit like Cao Cao greeted Xu You barefoot.
But a quarter of an hour ago, Xuehong was still smoking a song with a woman in a certain entertainment venue, which was easy to understand.
After hearing the news from the guard Qin Xiao, he even had the clothes to be cleaned up and ran out hurriedly.
In the carriage, Xue Qinghe heard someone calling him cousin, and when he saw the person running out of the city gate, he knew who it was.
In terms of seniority, Emperor Xue Ye is Xue Hong's father's cousin, but Xue Hong is older than her. This cousin can indeed be called out and can appear a little close.
but...
Xue Qinghe swept away Xue Hong's appearance, and there was a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
"Huh~"
Xue Hong ran to Xue Hong's carriage and was stopped by cavalry guards.
While panting, he shouted to Xue Qinghe: "Qinghe...cousin, cousin... I'll look forward to you."
"No obstacle." Xue Qinghe waved his hand and let it go.
The knights' escorts were allowed to go.
Seeing this, Xuehong hurried to the carriage.
"Cousin Xuehong, are you..." Xue Qinghe pointed to Xuehong's disheveled appearance. As for calling him cousin, it was all because he showed his demeanor.
"Oh, this, cousin, when I heard that my cousin Qinghe came to Soto City, I ran over and over. Compared to seeing Qinghe, a small matter like changing clothes is nothing, nothing." Xue Hongtian explained shamelessly.
As for women who don’t have time to dress and welcome these things, who knows if he doesn’t say it!
"Oh, so that's it." Xue Qinghe nodded clearly, but when he saw the red lips on Xue Hong's neck and a pungent perfume smell on his body, he thought about the news about Xue Hong before, and instantly understood what Xue Hong was.
It's a bit smart and a little witty to say it's smart.
But I have no ability, half-dozen, like those nobles, who like to enjoy everything and live a debauchery.
However, for Xue Qinghe, a person like this is just right and easy to control, and he also needs such a person.
Then, under Xue Hong's leadership, Xue Qinghe and his group entered Soto City.
As soon as he entered the city, Xue Hong led Xue Qinghe to the city lord's mansion, with a lot of food, wine, beauties, and other things from the upper nobles, and all of them were treated to the hospitality.
As the prince of the Tiandou Empire, Xue Qinghe has long been used to seeing this kind of thing, and his expression is without any turmoil.
However, Xue Hong was drinking wine while explaining his thoughts clearly to the Xueqing River.
For example, he wants to be Barack's next king, needs Xue Qinghe's support, etc.
"It's easy to say!" Xue Qinghe took a sip of the tea ceremony.
"Cousin Qinghe, are you really willing to support me as the next king?" Xue Hong looked at Xue Qinghe excitedly and asked.
Xue Qinghe nodded and shook his head again.
"Cousin Qinghe, you are..." Xue Hong didn't quite understand what Xue Qinghe meant.
"I can support you to become the next king, but... what can you bring me?" Xueqing said while tea sucking the river.
Xue Hong looked at Xue Qinghe and understood what he meant. He thought for a moment and said, "Cousin Qinghe, as long as I can become the next king of Barak, no matter what you need me to do, I can promise you."
In order to become the king and to seek revenge for his elder brother, he could do whatever he wanted.
Seeing this, Xue Qinghe said lightly: "Things are easy to say."
When Xue Hong heard this sentence with deep meaning, he instantly understood the meaning of Xue Qinghe.
He stood up excitedly and sang Jingxue and Qinghe for three cups.
Then Xue Qinghe and Xue Hong talked about something, then tried Xue Hong indirectly, and got to know Xue Hong better.
He has no talent, is very suitable for control, and is also very suitable for being Barack's next king.
This is Xue Qinghe’s judgment on Xue Hong.
"By the way, I heard that the most famous one in Soto City, the fief of Brother Xuehong, is the Soto City Soul Fighting Arena. I wonder if I can take me to see it?"
"How can my cousin be so happy that my cousin is not satisfied? Just now, Mrs. Xia is in the Soul Fighting City, and I will take my cousin Qinghe to come later."
Xue Qinghe was a little surprised when he heard that Xue Hong’s wife was in the Great Soul Fighting Arena.
The reason why he wanted to see the fighting soul was entirely because drinking with Xuehong here was boring. It would be better to go to the fighting soul field to see if there were any special wild talents, and if he could win over them, he would take them over.
But Xuehong said that his wife was fighting the soul, which made him a little interested.
"Yes, my wife is usually maintaining the Soto City Soul Fighting Arena, so she will be there under normal circumstances."
"Is that true? Then I'm a little curious about what kind of female hero you, Cousin Xuehong, are."
"What kind of female hero is that? Just an ordinary woman." Xue Hong said modestly, but his heart was filled with joy.
After all, Xue Qinghe praised his wife by the prince of Tiandou Empire, and he himself was very proud.
Then the two of them exchanged greetings and moved to the Soto City Soul Fighting Arena.
At this time, the highest floor of VIP room in Soto City was in Soto's Great Soul Fighting Arena.
Cardan sat gracefully on the chair, beside her was Gu Ye.
She looked at Gu Ye writing the letters in his hand intently, and the more she read them, the more she became more fascinated.
"Where has he been?" Gu Ye put down the pen in his hand and asked.
"It has been half an hour since I returned to the city lord's mansion with Xue Hong."
As Cardin said, a knock came from outside the door.
"Say." Cardin looked outside the door.
"The Lord Xuehong City and His Highness the Crown Prince are coming to the Soul Fighting Arena, and they will arrive in half an hour."
"Well, I got it, you go down."
"yes."
The maid outside the door left, and Cardan looked at Gu Ye.
"You actually came to the Great Soul Fighting Arena? You don't have to worry about seeing him."
Gu Ye looked forward to the arrival of Xueqinghe, but it should be Qian Renxue.
Chapter completed!
