Chapter 216 You can make conditions, but you can’t refuse to accept them
The Jingjue Royal Court is a special royal court among the countries in the Western Regions. Unlike other royal courts where men are kings, all the kings of the Jingjue Royal Court are women, and this generation of Jingjue Queen is Wei Shu.
Inside the main tent of King Jingjue's army.
Wei Shu, who has white hair, is wearing a crimson gauze skirt and an exquisite crown, sitting at the desk with a tired face.
The dim oil lamp kept beating in the tent, and the silent atmosphere seemed to be filled with an unsettling atmosphere.
Wei Shu is nearly 60 years old this year, and she has been Queen Jingjue for more than 40 years. Among the queens of the Jingjue Royal Court, Wei Shu is considered a more powerful queen, and her methods and thoughts are extremely outstanding.
It is a pity that most of the territory of Jingjue Royal Court is deserts and barren mountains, which limits the development of Jingjue Royal Court. However, even so, during Wei Shu's reign, the national power of Jingjue Royal Court increased several times.
But facing the Fire Worshiping Royal Court, the current Jingjue Royal Court is still unable to compete.
As a strong king, Wei Shu will not give in easily. Even if she gives in now, her heart is still filled with resentment towards the Fire Worship Court. If given the chance, she will not hesitate to break away from the Fire Worship Court's suppression.
, gave the Fire Worshiping Court a severe blow.
Just when Wei Shu was thinking about how to resist the Fire Worshiping Court, a young woman in beautiful clothes walked in from outside the camp.
The woman is wearing a bright yellow dress, with a light body, a charming face, and eyes as clear as lake water.
"Daughter, please pay homage to your mother!" The woman came to Wei Shu and paid her respects.
Wei Shu raised his head and looked at the woman, with a flash of distress and regret in his eyes.
"Abao!"
She called softly, her tone full of love for the woman.
Abao is her only daughter. If there were no Fire Worship Court, she might have begun to gradually transfer the rights of the court to Abao.
There are rarely fights for the throne in the Jingjue Royal Court, because the kings of the Jingjue Royal Court are all queens. Under normal circumstances, as long as the queen gives birth to a girl, the queen will not continue to have children.
Wei Shu had three sons, and it was not until he was forty years old that he gave birth to his daughter Abao.
"Mother, General Royard has ordered us to launch an attack from Agu Mountain in three days." There was a cold look on Abao's white face.
Agu Mountain is located in the south of Lingwei Pass, more than three hundred miles away from Lingwei Pass. From the foot of Agu Mountain, there is a dangerous mountain road that can pass through the towering mountains and enter Yuanzhou.
Since there are countless high mountains and ridges in the western part of Yuanzhou, it is not easy for the countries in the Western Regions to invade Yuanzhou.
There are only a few paths, and each one is guarded by Dalili border troops. The easier ones are related to the city, and the more difficult ones are also surrounded by piers.
"Agu Mountain!"
Wei Shu frowned.
Agu Mountain is not a good place. Let’s not talk about the fortress. Let’s just say that the road is extremely dangerous.
The Fire Worship Court chose such a path for them, obviously deliberately making things difficult for them.
With the road in Agu Mountain, it is very difficult for even one person to cross it, let alone a large army.
"Is there anything else?"
Sudden.
Abao lowered his head, with a trace of sadness on his charming face.
His clear eyes were covered with mist, and Abao said: "General Royard wants me to marry the third prince!"
As soon as these words came out, Wei Shu's eyes suddenly shot out with a fierce glare.
"The Fire Worshiping Court, Loyad!"
She gritted her teeth and growled.
Anger and hatred erupted in her heart like a volcano.
Get married!
Abao is the only heir to the throne of Jingjue Royal Court. If she gets married, it means that the entire Jingjue Royal Court will have to dowry.
The Fire Worshiping Royal Court wants to annex their Jingjue Royal Court.
"Abao, I won't let you marry him!"
Wei Shu said in a low voice.
"But~" Abao hesitated to speak.
"Don't worry, they don't dare to do anything to us at this time, unless they don't want to attack Dali again!" Wei Shu knew what Abao was worried about.
Now they are not qualified to refuse the Fire Worshiping Court.
Abao's expression moved slightly and he nodded slightly, "It's just that once they successfully break through Dali, we're afraid~"
"Haha, you think too simply."
Wei Shu smiled happily, as if all the previous depression and anger had dissipated.
"They want to take down Dali. It's just a fantasy. Even if Dali is in crisis now, they can't take down the Dali Dynasty!"
"Why?" Abao didn't understand.
Her knowledge of Dali was limited to a powerful dynasty, and she did not know Dali very well.
Wei Shu was about to speak. As the queen of Jingjue Royal Court, although there was not much interaction between Jingjue Royal Court and Dali, she had learned a lot about Dali over the years.
Especially for Lao Lihuang, she admired him very much.
But before she could speak, a voice suddenly sounded in the camp.
"Because Dali's power is beyond their knowledge and beyond your knowledge!"
The sudden voice made Wei Shu tremble, "Who!"
Abao also became vigilant. A bright short knife suddenly appeared in his hand, and he looked around vigilantly.
Suddenly, Abao's eyes were fixed on a dark corner.
Wei Shu also saw the figure in the corner.
A very light figure, a figure that seems to be integrated with the darkness.
The figure took a step forward, revealing a pale face.
"Dali Zhao Gao has met Queen Jingjue!"
Zhao Gao walked out of the dark corner and bowed casually.
The pupils in Wei Shu's eyes shrank suddenly. She looked outside the camp with her peripheral vision. The guards there seemed to be still there, but why didn't they make any move?
Even though she hadn't noticed it before, she had issued a warning just now, but the guard still didn't make any move.
She didn't know that the guards outside the door had already been replaced. Not only the guards outside the door, but also the tent with tens of thousands of troops had been completely infiltrated by the net.
Before Zhao Gao arrived at Lingweiguan, Luo Wang had already taken over all the spies and spies of the Imperial City Division in the Western Regions. At the same time, a large number of Luo Wang members had begun to infiltrate the military camps of the countries in the Western Regions with the help of the Imperial City Division's spies.
Night is Luo Wen’s greatest protective color, and it is also Luo Wen’s favorite time.
"When did you come?" Wei Shu asked in a sharp voice.
"Half an hour ago!" Zhao Gao said.
"Half an hour!" Wei Shu and Abao's faces turned extremely pale.
Half an hour ago, Abao hadn't come yet, and Wei Shu was alone in the tent.
If Zhao Gao wanted to harm Wei Shu, it would be absolutely easy.
"What do you want to do?" Wei Shu asked.
"Let you take refuge in Dali and destroy the Fire Worshiping Royal Court." Zhao Gao said patiently.
When Wei Shu heard this, her somewhat panicked mood suddenly calmed down. She stared at Zhao Gao and slowly sat back on the chair.
"Are you representing the Emperor Li?"
“Yes on some things!”
"What benefits can we get if we take refuge in Dali?"
"There are many benefits. You will no longer be oppressed by the Fire Worship Court, you will not have to worry about marrying someone who cannot marry, and you will gain part of the Fire Worship Court's territory."
Wei Shu's eyes flickered, "But without the Fire Worshiping Court, you still have Dali!"
Zhao Gao shook his head slightly and said: "Dali is not the Fire Worshiping Court. Dali does not need the territory of the Western Regions or the population of the Western Regions."
The disputes among the countries in the Western Regions are about population and territory, especially the royal courts in the desert. A small oasis may cause a war between the two royal courts.
Dali really doesn't like this barren land in the Western Region.
Wei Shu's heart is filled with countless clues.
"I need to think about it!"
Zhao Gao shook his head and said: "Your considerations are irrelevant. In ten days, we will attack the Fire Worship King's camp. If you go then, you can get a share of the pie. If you don't go~"
"Then I will come and take your lives myself!"
"You are threatening me!" Wei Shu's face darkened and he looked at Zhao Gao coldly.
Zhao Gao glanced at her lightly, turned around and walked towards the outside of the camp.
"You can make conditions, but you can't refuse to accept them."
"If you don't accept it, both you and her will disappear forever."
"This is not a threat, this is a matter of course!"
The gentle voice echoed in the tent, and the dark red figure slowly walked out of the tent and disappeared without a trace under the cold moonlight.
Outside the camp, within a hundred meters, it became deserted in the blink of an eye.
The guards who were there before have disappeared without a trace.
Wei Shu looked through the door of the camp tent at the dead silence outside, his face turning blue and white.
This is not a threat, this is a matter of course!
A person who can freely enter and leave her camp, a group of people who can act recklessly in the camp of tens of thousands of troops, it is too easy to kill them.
A Bao next to him was trembling slightly, his charming face full of paleness.
She felt the fear, the fear that Zhao Gao brought to her.
"What kind of cultivation is he?" Abao's voice trembled slightly.
"The Three Realms of Divine Envoy!" Wei Shu said.
In the Western Region, all innate cultivators are messengers of gods, and the three realms of divine messengers are the three innate realms.
…
Dali Kyoto, Shengtian Hall.
"Greetings to Your Majesty!"
Li Ru stood in front of Qin Wei and bowed with a smile on his face.
When he came back from Liangzhou, he served as an assistant minister in the cabinet and became a bachelor of Wenyuan Palace.
Qin Wei was very happy to see Li Ru again.
He sat on the sofa, pointed to the seat opposite, and said with a smile: "Sit down and chat."
Li Ru sat down and Xiao Shunzi immediately made a cup of tea.
After that, the two started chatting.
Qin Wei was very curious about Li Ru's affairs in Liangzhou.
Although Li Ru often sent him messages, there were still many things he didn't know.
For example, Li Ru's business in Yuanzhou.
In just over a year, Li Ru took control of Yuanzhou's officialdom. He controlled all the three government offices, and even the border troops allowed him to subdue many generals.
If Qin Wei could not get the throne in Kyoto before and wanted to rebel, Yuanzhou might be the state that supported him the most besides Shuzhou.
"What's the current situation in Liangzhou?"
After chatting for a while, Qin Wei asked.
"Not bad. Although the threat from the countries in the Western Region is close at hand, Liangzhou's border army and garrison are fully prepared."
"As long as the north is stabilized, there will be no problems in the west of Liangzhou," Li Ru replied.
Qin Wei nodded slightly, there was no longer any suspense about the situation in the north.
Uhel and Huge were beheaded, Situ Changkong and He Jing had already started a war to destroy the Wuhuan Royal Court, and the remaining three royal courts of the Rong clan could no longer pose a threat to Dali.
Moreover, with this great victory in the north, Qin Wei was also preparing to annex most of the territory of Wuhuan Royal Court.
Compared with the barren land in the Western Regions, Qin Wei preferred the fertile grasslands in the north.
Qin Wei nodded and said: "Next, you should familiarize yourself with the government affairs. After Ji Yuanchen retires, you will assume the position of chief assistant."
Although Ji Yuanchen is a Confucianism cultivator, he still cannot resist old age and frailty. In his current state, he is not suitable to continue to serve as the first assistant.
It's not that Qin Wei wants to kill the donkey, but that Ji Yuanchen is really not suitable.
He will carry out various reforms within Dali next. The affairs of the cabinet will be extremely heavy and require a group of energetic ministers.
"I obey the order!" Li Ru responded.
Qin Wei thought for a while and then said: "You should know about Lan Yuehou."
Li Ru nodded slightly, "I have read the files from Lan Yuehou, Qiongtian Haiyu, Dongfang Family, and the Imperial City Division."
"Then do you think I should let him come back?" Qin Wei asked.
Yesterday he received a letter from Lan Yuehou, who wanted to return to Beijing.
Qin Wei was a little hesitant about this.
The Awakening Fruit tree matures once every ten years, and each time it matures, it will bear more than a hundred fruits. Now is the time when the Awakening Fruit is ripe.
Around June next year, the Xingling fruit will be fully mature and it will be time to pick.
Qin Wei did not want to continue giving the Awakening Spirit Fruit to the Dongfang Family.
The effect of the Awakening Fruit is to improve the practitioner's understanding of the artistic conception, and is effective for practitioners in the Silent Light Realm.
Now that all his chess pieces have entered the innate realm, many people will try to break through the innate bottleneck and enter the Silent Light Realm.
The Awakening Spirit Fruit is exactly what Qin Wei needs, so Qin Wei naturally wants to stay.
If we don't keep the Awakening Fruit this time, the next time will be ten years later.
Li Ru pondered for a moment and said: "Actually, this is not important. Lan Yuehou cannot stop His Majesty, nor can he influence the decision of the Dongfang family."
Qin Wei thought for a while, nodded, and said: "That's right."
The Dongfang family is a very large family. Qin Wei is not very clear about Lan Yuehou's status in the Dongfang family, but now in Dali, it is impossible for Lan Yuehou to resist him.
As for the Dongfang family's decision, it is too far away. It will probably take several months for them to make a decision.
So it doesn't matter whether Lan Yuehou returns to Beijing now.
"Forget it, let him come back after the affairs of the Three Southern Barbarians are over!"
