Chapter 332: Chu people who are not afraid of power
Seeing this scene, Xu Qing was quite puzzled. He was not very familiar with Prince Feng, right?
Not only are they not familiar with each other, it can even be said that they have no intersection at all.
While King Qi was digging hard with a hoe, King Feng was salting fish.
When King Qi's hoe broke again and again, King Feng was still salting fish.
Although he is not as good as the heart-wrenching King Xin of Xianyu, the ceiling of the Xianyu world, he is still one of the best in the industry.
Why did he come out to help him out at this time? He even offered the position of the East Palace as a temptation to give the two of them the final step down.
If Prince Feng really wants to sit on the throne, there is absolutely no need to deceive Prince Qi at this time, because it is unnecessary!
As the victor, King Feng could freely mock King Qi.
But Prince Feng did not do this. Instead, he said that he had no intention of becoming the crown prince at all. He successfully manipulated Prince Qi's thoughts and made the almost desperate and already ruined Prince of Qi continue to join the ranks of seizing the throne?
All of this made Xu Qing only think of one possibility, that is, Prince Feng really didn't want to be the crown prince, but he hadn't found a suitable victim... ahem, successor, so he could only help Prince Qi to re-establish himself.
Rise up to maintain the situation where the two kings are fighting.
Thinking of this, Xu Qing couldn't help but sigh, look at who this family is?!
Those who want to be princes are not capable, and those who are capable do not want to be princes.
Tsk tsk, this Prince Feng must be his biological child! There is no need for a paternity test!
Thinking of this, Xu Qing couldn't help but start to doubt King Qi. According to the family tradition, Xiao Ye didn't want to be the emperor, King Feng didn't want to be the emperor, and King Xin continued to fish.
People in the old Xiao family seem to be quite repulsive to the throne.
So, is King Qi really the biological son of Emperor Chu?
Tsk tsk, I don’t dare to think about it, I don’t dare to think about it, if I think about it any more, there will be a green grassland above the old emperor.
Xu Qing breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what happened, today finally ended with dignity.
Xu Qing turned around and looked at Li Mingyue and said: "The fault of this matter lies with Chu State. I will write a memorial tomorrow and refer to King Qi's book. Your Highness the Princess is frightened."
Li Mingyue said to Xu Qingying: "Thank you very much for your help today, Uncle Anding. However, Uncle Anding offended King Qi because of this... It was Mingyue who delayed the future of Uncle Anding, and I feel deeply guilty in my heart."
Xu Qing shook his head and said: "Your Highness is the envoy of the Zhou State, and we, the State of Chu, should protect you. What happened today was the fault of the State of Chu and not of Your Highness. Why should Your Highness blame yourself?"
Long Bing'er walked over at this time and looked at Xu Qing with a completely different look than before.
When Xu Qing saw Long Bing'er, he couldn't help but take a step back: "You're not done yet, are you?"
Long Bing'er looked at Xu Qing, bit her lip, and said, "A Chu people who are upright and kind, and are not afraid of power."
Xu Qing was slightly startled when he heard this: "Are you praising me?"
Long Bing'er reluctantly made a nasal sound: "Yeah."
Xu Qing said: "Next time, please add Yingjun, thank you."
Long Bing'er: "..."
Shameless Chu people as always!
Li Mingyue looked at Long Bing'er and couldn't help but ask: "Who is this?"
Long Bing'er said straightforwardly: "Deputy envoy of the State of Zhao, Long Bing'er."
Li Mingyue came down and said with thorough etiquette: "Zhou Guo, Li Mingyue."
Look at this etiquette, it's a judgment call.
Long Bing'er looked at Xu Qing and said: "You have offended the eldest son of the emperor of Chu State, and the prince just said that he would help King Qi ascend to the throne of prince. You will not end well if you stay here."
Xu Qing said: "No need for Miss Long to worry about it."
Long Bing'er frowned and said, "You are asking for death by continuing to stay in Chu State. Aren't you afraid of death?"
Xu Qing said simply: "Of course I'm scared to death."
It seems that he didn't expect Xu Qing to give in so quickly, and thought he had some integrity! Shouldn't he say a few heroic words at this time that he is not afraid of power?
After all, he is a Chu native who is not afraid of power.
The words he spoke from the bottom of his heart were so heartfelt that Long Bing'er was speechless for a moment.
Xu Qing shrugged and said, "What can I do if I'm afraid?"
Long Bing'er thought for a while and said: "You can go to our Zhao State. Once you arrive in Zhao State, I can recommend you to join the court as an official. Our Zhao State needs people like you who are upright, kind and not afraid of power."
Xu Qing sighed: "How many times have I told you, how about handsome?"
When Long Bing'er heard Xu Qing's words, she immediately said angrily: "Shameless Chu people! Just stay here and wait to die!"
This man was simply like the nemesis in her life. She could take everything calmly, but it was the man in front of her. Two words could make her breathless and stomp her feet.
But this is not the most uncomfortable thing. The most uncomfortable thing is that he is angry with you and you have no way to return it.
Long Bing'er, who couldn't stand up to Xu Qing, stamped her feet and was about to leave. After taking two long steps, she took small steps and occasionally turned her head slightly to see if this person would change his mind.
After all, such upright people who are not afraid of power are really rare, and the status of being able to participate in the Cleansing Banquet at such a young age must be extraordinary. Zhao State really needs talents.
Moreover, he said that he was very afraid of death.
Xu Qing said: "Miss Long."
Long Bing'er turned around, her tone became like that at a banquet, and she said calmly: "Have you figured it out?"
I just rejected myself, but now it’s not as easy to change my mind as it was just now!
Xu Qing said: "No, it's getting late. The residences of Zhou and Zhao are very close to each other. It would be too dangerous for Princess Mingyue to go back alone. I think it's just right for you to form a companion."
Long Bing'er's hands in her sleeves suddenly clenched tightly, you ignorant Chu people!
When Li Mingyue heard this, she quickly shook her head and said, "No need to trouble Miss Long, Mingyue can go back alone."
After saying that, Li Mingyue saluted Xu Qing: "Uncle Anding County has helped Mingyue many times. Mingyue will remember it in her heart and will never forget it in this life."
But Long Bing'er came over and grabbed Li Mingyue and said, "Let's go and ignore him! Humph!"
Xu Qing looked at the two people leaving and suddenly asked: "By the way, do you know which road is the way out of Prince Xian's Mansion?"
After all, when she arrived, Long Bing'er couldn't even find the Cleansing Banquet anywhere.
This girl has the attributes of a roadie!
Long Bing'er: "You don't have to worry about it!"
Xu Qing sighed, this girl is quite stubborn, Xu Qing stood here and did not leave.
Because his intuition told him that they would be back later.
…
as expected!
Less than a cup of tea.
The two walked back the same way, but Long Bing'er followed behind and Li Mingyue walked in front.
Li Mingyue was also a little embarrassed at this time. She had really troubled people many times just now, but Long Bing'er, who was hiding behind Li Mingyue, gently pushed Li Mingyue from behind, asking her to come closer, while looking at her
He dodged and did not look at Xu Qing, trying his best to appear as an innocent passerby.
Thinking about what she said just now, "You don't have to worry about it!", and then thinking about the current situation, Long Bing'er's pretty face became hot with embarrassment...
Li Mingyue also lowered her head and said softly in embarrassment: "Uncle Anding County... we..."
Xu Qing looked at Li Mingyue, then at Long Bing'er who was hiding behind Li Mingyue, and said with a smile: "Follow me."
