Possessed by Luffy's fruit, I went crazy in ancient times

Chapter 97 Engagement
  Magistrate Liu looked at her helplessly and suddenly felt that she must be a fairy who came from that fairyland and didn't understand the world.

When he saw Xu Yihuan's round, dark eyes, staring at him clearly, he felt his chest heaving and his heart suddenly calmed down.

"Emperor Jin once said that whoever can quell the war on the border with Wei State will be the heir to the next crown prince. However, Jin State also respected the hierarchical system. The mother-in-law of King Jin was born a commoner, which has always been controversial. In the court, Jin The king does not have a strong backer, and in recent years, his majesty has become more and more concerned about the identity of the queen mother and concubine Jin."

He said: "In the army, King Jin is very capable. Your Majesty has been eyeing King Jin since he settled the border. He is afraid that he will steal his throne, so he has been weakening King Jin's military power."

"However, His Majesty had to keep his promise and gave the lost lands recovered by King Jin to the jurisdiction of King Jin. He used to love King Jin, but now he is afraid of him and is on guard against him. According to the custom of the Jin Dynasty, the prince becomes an adult after he gets married. "

"The King of Jin broke off the engagement three times in a row. The nobles broke off the engagement because of his mother's status. He also got engaged three times. The nobles all got engaged because of the military ability of the King of Jin."

"Your Majesty turned against the King of Wei and separated his autonomy only when he came of age and was not established as a prince."

"Now that the three princes are still minors, most of the land in the border towns of Jin is in the hands of King Jin. In order to restrain King Jin, His Majesty has been threatening King Jin with Concubine Tao in the past few years. Strictly speaking, the Queen wants to kill King Jin and His Majesty wants to The purpose of killing King Jin is the same."

"So, neither the Queen nor Your Majesty wants King Jin to get married, but King Jin wants to get married. On the one hand, he wants to pick up Concubine Tao so that no one will be constrained. On the other hand, he likes you."

Xu Yihuan felt cold: "So, whether I can rescue Concubine Tao and whether Prince Jin can take power independently has a lot to do with me?" Your Majesty and the Queen are worried about Prince Jin getting married. After getting married, he can legitimately take power. He might also become a prince.

However, the King of Jin had no power in the court and no nobles spoke for him, so becoming a prince was more difficult than fighting a war.

County Magistrate Liu was a little relieved. Seeing that Xu Yihuan finally realized this problem, he went on to say more, "So, the maid fled to King Jin's territory. King Jin will know about it soon, then If you ask him for help, even if he helps, he may not tell you the truth."

Xu Yihuan took a deep breath and said, "Then if I don't agree and insist on breaking off the engagement, will that be compromising the wishes of His Majesty and the Queen?"

Magistrate Liu shook his head: "In the beginning, they should have thought so, but now they are no longer, because you captured 1,500 prisoners of the Guards and beat two princes. Your Majesty and the Queen now seem to be afraid of King Jin." I'm just as afraid of you."

"If you marry the King of Jin, and the King of Jin becomes more powerful in time, then what will happen to the three princes of the Jin Kingdom?"

Xu Yihuan immediately replied: "So they sent someone to assassinate me. As long as I die, the engagement will be automatically terminated, and the matter of me becoming King Jin's helper will be over?"

She recalled the maid and asked again: "So, you suspect that the maid is also one of theirs?"

Magistrate Liu nodded repeatedly: "Yes, that's why I rushed back. My intention was not to let you get involved in Prince Jin's affairs, I just wanted to restore your memory."

Like her benefactor, she was physically different from ordinary people, so what he wanted to do was to find her through her.

Xu Yihuan suddenly realized: "I understand."

Therefore, today's assassination was, to put it bluntly, because she beat the three princes. To put it more deeply, it was because the queen wanted to break Yeshang's arm.

As for what King Jin thinks?
  I had to ask him to find out that Xu Yihuan's mind was confused again. Marrying Prince Jin?
  Just for that maid, couldn't she take it back by herself?
  "Well, the key now is how to make the maid tell the truth." County Magistrate Liu looked as if King Jin had caught the person and knew everything.

Not to mention, King Jin really just found out.

At this moment, he was ordering people to bury the body outside the city, and beside him stood two pale-faced women.

Xu Hu and Xu He stood aside shivering, staring at the soldiers throwing the broken limbs into the pit one by one. It was not obvious that they were burying corpses, but it looked like they were throwing the limbs of poultry and livestock. Ready to cook. King Jin had been carrying the two of them on his back, and just in time the hidden guard came up and handed Ye Shang a letter.

On weekdays, notes were delivered, but today even letters were delivered, and Ye Shang suddenly felt that something big was going on.

He turned around and walked back, looked around at a place with few people, opened the envelope, read the contents of the letter, and looked slightly surprised.

In just an instant, he regained his composure and said, "I know, I ordered people to take good care of her and don't let her die."

After the hidden guards retreated, King Jin looked at the corpse in the pit again. Suddenly, there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes. He turned to look at the two of them and said, "Where are Taifu Xu's people?"

The two of them were leaning against each other with their eyes closed. When they heard King Jin suddenly speaking next to them, their bodies froze in shock and looked at King Jin.

"I'm from our place?" Xu Hu looked at King Jin's face in surprise. His whole body was filled with a murderous aura, and his face was extremely dark.

The two hugged each other subconsciously, and said with trembling mouths: "They, they have returned to Kyoto."

Xu Hu thought that King Jin Wendi was the person who sent them here.

King Jin snorted coldly and said, "I'm asking about the people sent by Taifu Xu to kill Xu Chuan."

He didn't believe that Taifu Xu would let Xu Chuan go like this.

The two of them trembled, took two steps back, and almost fell to the ground.

"Prince" the hidden guard suddenly ran over and interrupted the conversation between the three of them.

King Jin squinted, turned around and followed the hidden guard to the side. After whispering a few words, King Jin stopped questioning the two of them and left directly with the remaining people.

The guards saw the two of them staring at Prince Jin's figure, and stepped forward to interrupt: "Let's go, two ladies."

When Xu He and Xu Hu heard this, they were overjoyed. They had wanted to leave here for a long time. What's the point of burying the assassin's body? The smell of blood here was stronger than in the city. They didn't even bother to cover themselves with two veils. Can be covered.

Xu Hu and Xu He walked quickly, following the guards and leaving the corpse pit in a few seconds.

After walking far away, the two of them regained their senses and quietly discussed: "How did King Jin and the eldest sister know that their father sent someone here?"

"When they thought of the terrible death of the people sent by the queen," a chill ignited in their hearts. "Should we tell our father and ask them to stop?"

"My father found us as soon as he came. He originally wanted to join forces with the queen, but now it seems that we can only wait until the next stop. The queen and father must have another back-up plan, so don't worry."

Xu Hu comforted Xu He and glanced at the soldiers around him. After making sure that no one noticed the two of them, he quietly sent out the signal to Rose.
