Dragon Warrior

Chapter 170

King Ruyang burst into laughter, pulled the two of them to sit at the table in the pavilion, and then ordered his servants to serve the food.

The servants who had been prepared for a long time took action immediately, and all kinds of delicacies were served in an endless stream, and there were all kinds of aged wines, which fully showed the delicacy and luxury of life in the Ruyang Palace.For a while, the aroma of wine, vegetables, and flowers mixed together, and one was drunk before drinking.

Although King Ruyang did not show any malice, Xiao Jing was still very vigilant. Although there was no one in the palace who could threaten him, there was nothing wrong with being careful.King Ruyang has been in a high position for ten years, and his abilities and wrists are all first-class. If you underestimate him, you may die without knowing how to die.

Although King Ruyang attached great importance to Han culture and even named himself Li Chahan in Han, after all, he did not break away from the Mongol habit, and his personality had its own bold side, and the atmosphere was good for a while.

After drinking for three rounds, Xiao Jing put down his glass and said: "My lord, if you want to tell me anything, please speak up."

Upon hearing this, King Ruyang put down his chopsticks and said, "Do you think this king hates you very much?"

Xiao Jing was stunned, and said: "This..., it stands to reason that my capture of the prince will not only destroy your long-planned plan, but also damage your reputation. Moreover, the matter between me and Minmin is probably not what you hoped for. Bar?"

King Ruyang said lightly: "I, the warriors of the grassland, admire the strong most. You and I are partly hostile. You used your own ability to destroy this king's plan and caused this king to suffer setbacks that he has never experienced in his life. Although this king is angry , unwilling, but absolutely no resentment, on the contrary, I admire and admire your ability very much."

Xiao Jing smiled and said: "Your Majesty is so generous, Xiao Mou sighs that he is not as good."

King Ruyang continued: "As for the matter between you and Minmin, although I don't agree with it very much, I can't say that I hate it. If a woman doesn't stay in college, she meets an excellent man and pursues him bravely. He is my son and daughter of the grassland. The consistent style. Minmin is the most beautiful pearl on my Mongolian grassland. She grew up on horseback and was influenced by me. She has always been very high-spirited. You can conquer her, which shows that you are good enough. I don’t need to accept you. Stop the two of you from being together, but don't resent your excellence."

Xiao Jing said: "Then the purpose of the prince's banquet today is to dissuade me from being with Min Min?"

King Ruyang asked, "If I say yes, will you agree?"

Xiao Jing smiled faintly and said: "Your Highness is joking, no one can stop us from being together in heaven and earth."

King Ruyang was not angry but happy, and clapped his hands and said: "Okay, from your words, it shows that you treat Minmin sincerely. From the perspective of a father, I am very happy. But you should understand that you and I are enemies. If Minmin follows you, it means cutting off contact with her family, which would be too cruel to her."

Xiao Jing was silent for a moment, and said: "I will give her the happiness of a lifetime, and make up for her in other places."

King Ruyang asked back: "How do you make up for it? Give up your beauties?"

Xiao Jing was silent again, and after a while, she raised her head and said, "What exactly does the lord want to say?"

King Ruyang smiled again and said: "You don't have to be ashamed. It's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. There are many concubines in this palace. Don't they all live happily? In fact, the matter between you and Minmin It’s not like there’s no way to have both.”

Xiao Jing narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "My lord, please tell me."

King Ruyang stood up and said to Wang Baobao: "Go and see if Minmin is awake, if she is awake, let her come over."

Wang Baobao answered yes with a bow, then got up and left the table.

King Ruyang walked a few steps in the pavilion, and said to the old man: "Mr. Li, please step back a few steps, I have something to say to Chief Xiao alone."

The old man said: "Don't worry, my lord, I promise not to eavesdrop." After speaking, he left the pavilion, passed through a door, and disappeared.

King Ruyang waved his hand, and another group of servants quickly left the banquet. In the blink of an eye, the pavilion was empty again, only the two of them were left.

He paced back and forth in the pavilion and said, "You and Minmin are in love with each other. This king knows my daughter very well. It is almost impossible for her to change her mind. If you forcefully separate you, the relationship between father and daughter will be broken." But if you let it go, this king will not be able to accept the fact that he will marry his daughter to a rebel who always wants to restore the orthodoxy of the Han people."

Xiao Jing said with a smile that was not a smile: "So the prince wants me to join the court and work for the court from now on. In this way, there will be no camp barrier between me and Minmin."

King Ruyang smiled, and said: "You really have a quick mind, and you know what you see. Yes, if you are willing to surrender to the court, this king will immediately marry you and Min Min, and marry her to you. From now on, you and I will be Weng and his son-in-law's family will enjoy endless prosperity and wealth in the future, and Minmin doesn't have to be caught in the middle."

Xiao Jing smiled lightly and said, "I'm a Han. If I surrender to the imperial court and deal with my own compatriots instead, wouldn't that mean betraying my ancestors? Does the prince want me to be an unfaithful, unfilial, unkind, unrighteous person for the sake of glory and wealth?"

King Ruyang said: "It's not that serious. Ever since Dayuan came to rule Shenzhou and took charge of the artifacts, have there been fewer Han people who have served our Dayuan court? Even Zhao Mengfu, the leader of the Shilin after the Zhao and Song royal families, was loyal to the court and devoted himself to the court. Try your best, it can be seen that most of the Han people recognize my orthodox status in Dayuan."

Xiao Jing said: "Forgive me, if the Yuan court can treat the Han people kindly after entering the customs, so that the hundreds of millions of people can be supported and the children can be supported, there will not be so many uprisings today, the prince said Maybe it will be convincing. But you Mongolians obviously don't do this. You have always regarded our Han people as two-legged sheep, bullying and killing them at will. Those who sing praises for you are not loyal, filial, benevolent and unrighteous. Is it?"

King Ruyang's face darkened, and he said: "This is a struggle between two ethnic groups for better living conditions. Sometimes the methods are unavoidably fierce. And people should also learn to be flexible. This king really appreciates your ability. , after you and I become a family, this king will teach you by precept and deed. I heard that you have read Wu Mu's suicide note. It will not take long before you will be able to outshine blue and surpass blue, and become a commander who is even more powerful than this king. At that time Coupled with your martial arts and resourcefulness, as long as you and my son-in-law work together, why worry about not being able to clarify the world and rebuild a peaceful and prosperous world?"

Xiao Jing said calmly: "This is just a peaceful and prosperous age for you Mongolians, but for the Han people, it is endless darkness."

King Ruyang said: "But for you and Minmin, it is a bright and smooth road. As long as you are willing to surrender, this king can satisfy all your conditions."

Xiao Jing played with taste: "Can all the conditions be met?"

King Ruyang nodded and said: "The jade from Kunshan, the easy-going treasure, the pearl of the bright moon, the slender horse, and even the confidante you can't let go of, as long as this king can find it, I can find it for you one by one." Come."

Xiao Jing stared at him sharply, and said, "What if I want to be emperor? Can you also overthrow Zhengdi and support me?"

King Ruyang's face froze, his smile disappeared, and he said, "I am speaking to you with great sincerity and reason. I hope you can think carefully and don't deliberately make fun of me."

Xiao Jing spread his hands and said: "My lord loves me, I accept it with all my heart. It's just that people have their own ambitions, and they are born poor. They only like to be far away from the rivers and lakes, free to do as they please, and don't like to live in high places in the temple. I'm afraid I will disappoint the lord. gone."

King Ruyang really showed disappointment, sighed, turned around, turned his back to Xiao Jing, walked slowly to the railing of the pavilion, and said, "You don't think about it anymore?"

Xiao Jing said firmly: "There is no need to think about it anymore. I will never betray my ancestors or the nation. Everyone has their own bottom line and principles to stick to. Please don't say anything again, my lord."

King Ruyang seemed to be still unwilling. He patted the railing lightly with his right hand and said, "Young people, please calm down and don't refuse too hastily. This king thinks you should calm down for a while and think about my proposal. One day you will figure it out. , you and I are family."

Perhaps because he realized that the conversation here was almost over, the old man popped up again, came to King Ruyang, and said: "Isn't this old man coming early?"

King Ruyang said: "It's just now, Mr. Li has always been a great talent, you might as well help me persuade nephew Xiao Xian, this king really appreciates him, if you can persuade him to surrender willingly, he will become the head of the Ruyang Palace in the future For the county horse, I will definitely thank you very much."

The old man said: "My lord, don't worry, this old man has no other skills. I think I have a fairly thorough understanding of people's hearts, and I will be able to help Xiao Daxia figure out the serious relationship."

Ru Yang Wang said: "Then Mr. Lao is here." After speaking, he slowly walked out of the pavilion and stood still by a pond, as if he didn't intend to intervene in the conversation between the two.

Xiao Jing said: "If Mr. Li Bai came to persuade me to surrender to the imperial court, please refrain from opening your mouth, so as not to humiliate yourself."

Standing on the edge of the pavilion, Li Bai said with a smile: "Don't worry, Xiao Xia, this old man is just following the orders of the prince to let you take time to calm down and calm down, and you will never seek humiliation."
