C88 Engage by all parties
After Curved End and the rest left, a young man walked out from the room!
This young man looked a little weak, his face pale. He was Zhe Keqiu's eldest son, Zhe Yanwen!
Zhe Yanwen directly walked in front of Zhe Keqiu and said: "Father, you just said that you want to betroth little sister to Curved End's son, is that true?"
Zhe Keqiu nodded, and said: "That's right!"
Zhe Yanwen clenched his teeth and said: "Father, I heard that the son of the Curved End is extremely incompetent! Although the Curved End was a martial artist herself, his son was a martial artist that did not deserve to be called a martial artist! Not only that, his son was a pure playboy, who spent her days in the Jingyuan City searching for fun. In the past when we were in the Prefecture, Tongguan, we had all heard of the evil reputation of Curved End's son. How could we betroth our little sister to Curved End's son? He's not worthy of little sister at all! "
Zhe Keqiu said: "For the sake of winning over Curved End, I have no choice but to do this!"
Zhe Yanwen said: "In order to rope him in, you must sacrifice your little sister?"
Zhe Keqiu said: "If we can rope him in, then it's worth it!"
Zhe Yanwen said angrily: "Father, how can you do that? Little Sister is a top talent in the world. Needless to say, she is beautiful like a flower, proficient in all kinds of zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Even the famous talented girls from ancient times are far from Little Sister's match! How can you let her marry a piece of trash? "
"Bastard!" Zhe Keqiu coldly snorted, and said: "As the daughter of the Zhuo Family, I naturally have to contribute to the future of the Zhuo Family! If she were to marry a hedonistic son of a bitch, she would be able to exchange it for hundreds of years of the clan's history. It would be worth it! To sacrifice a daughter for the sake of the Zhuo Family, what's so special about that! "
Zhe Yanwen looked at Zhe Keqiu in disbelief, and said: "Father, you weren't like this in the past! You love your little sister dearly, much more than you love us two brothers! You really shouldn't have done that! "
Zhe Keqiu said: "In the past, it was an era of peace. Now that the chaotic world has arrived, I want to think about the future of the Zhuo family! In fact, I'm actually thinking for your brothers' sake. From now on, won't our family be yours? "Why don't you understand my pains?"
Zhe Yanwen shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "Father, I can promise you anything you do, but if you want to sacrifice little sister, I will find it hard to accept!"
Zhe Keqiu slightly frowned, and said: "You go out first! You just heard it too, even if I were to betroth my daughter to Curved End's son, Curved End wouldn't be willing to accept it! With Curved End's current identity and strength, it was unknown just how many people wanted to rope him in! I am sure that if Emperor Kang was a little older, when our daughter grew up, Emperor Kang would definitely betroth her own daughter to Curved End! A daughter could be exchanged for an army of one hundred thousand. Who wouldn't be willing to do such a cheap trade!? Forget it, I want to think of a way to win over Curved End! "
Zhe Yanwen left angrily, while Zhe Keqiu stayed alone in the hall to continue thinking, not mentioning about this.
Curved End, Wang Shu and the rest had already reached the relay station, and the ordinary soldiers were already resting. Curved End and Wang Shu sat together drinking tea.
Wang Shu looked at Curved End, and after a while, said: "General, why didn't you agree to Zhe Keqiu's request just now? Zhe Keqiu's daughter is a renowned beauty and talented girl in the Northwest, worthy of the general's son! "
Curved End laughed and said: "I know my own limits, my son is not worthy to be his daughter! Besides, he just wants to recruit me. He wants me to be his family! But I can't agree to this! "
Wang Shu said: "Actually, after General and Zhe Keqiu become relatives of children, if Zhe Keqiu is able to succeed in the future, as General, you are also a relative of the Emperor, wouldn't your status exceed your current status?"
Curved End shook her head, and said: "I am not willing to participate in their matters! You don't need to persuade me anymore! "
Wang Shu laughed bitterly and sighed softly.
Just then, someone reported from outside that Yang Shi and Zhao Ding had requested an audience!
Curved End was startled, and said: "Yang Shi? Zhao Ding? Why are they here? "
Wang Shu said: "They are just trying to rope in the general for the Emperor Kang! It would be better for the general to see them! "
Curved End said: "Alright!"
After a while, the door opened and Yang Shi and Zhao Ding entered the room!
At this point, Curved End had already stood up and was quickly welcoming him! Zhao Ding was a renowned scholar! Although the Curved End was a region of generals, he would never dare to be careless in front of Yang Shi!
"Mr. Yang, Lord Zhao, I've heard a lot about you!" Curved End sized Yang Shi and Zhao Ding up as he smiled.
"We have heard of the General Qu's fame for a long time!" Yang Shi said indifferently.
There was a trace of disdain in Yang Shi's eyes. He was the leader of the world's scholars, and had always looked down on martial artists! If it were not for the important matter at hand, he definitely would not have dealt with Curved End, this crude martial artist!
In his heart, there was still a huge difference between the Curved End and Zhe Keqiu! The Curved End was the standard "mud ass", while Zhe Keqiu came from a general family, and was a noble in the army! Therefore, his attitude towards Curved End and Zhe Keqiu was completely different! At this moment, he didn't conceal the disdain in his eyes, nor did he feel that there was anything wrong with revealing such a look!
"Please sit down, please! Men, come here, why aren't you serving Mr. Yang and Lord Zhao tea yet! " When Curved End saw the disdain in Yang Shi's eyes, he only smiled faintly.
At that moment, a soldier arrived with tea! Seeing that the person serving the tea was a soldier, Yang Shi frowned again. For a great scholar like him, those who served tea and water should be pretty maids. How could they allow crude soldiers to serve him? Thus, Yang Shi was in a bad mood!
With Yang Shi's way of doing things, Curved End was finally unhappy! He originally wanted to chat with these two for a while, but now that he wasn't in the mood to do so, he said, "Mr. Yang, Lord Zhao, what have you come for?"
Yang Shi said: "Emperor Jianyan has already ascended the throne, I am the Lord of Song Dynasty! General Qu, you are the special envoy of the Jing Road. The martial generals of my Song Dynasty should naturally be loyal to the Emperor Jianyan and obey his orders! You will leave the Middle Han Area right now and follow us to the Shang Qiu to pay respects to the Emperor Jianyan! "
When Yang Shi said this, Curved End was stunned, he was stunned, and Zhao Ding was also stunned!
They all looked at Yang Shi blankly, only to see Yang Shi narrowing his eyes, his face full of arrogance and disdain!
Curved End almost burst out laughing. Even if he wanted to recruit people, this was not the way! Yang Shi did not seem like he was trying to recruit others, but was instead scolding them like they were servants!
Zhao Ding anxiously opened his mouth: General Qu, the world is in chaos today! When the Emperor Jianyan ascended the throne, a million strong army sat down. There were Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun, Wang Yuan and many other great generals. There were also Zong Ze, Huang Qianshan, Wang Boyan and countless other civil officials present! The Emperor Jianyan was already the orthodox sect of the Central Plains. In the future, the Emperor Jianyan would lead an army to attack the female true master to welcome the two emperors! Who would have thought that the Crown Prince would ascend the throne of the Middle Han Area! If His Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne, wouldn't it mean that my Song Dynasty would have two monarchs, and this country would be split into two? The people of the world were already suffering. If the two kings were to continue quarreling, then the suffering of the people would be even more severe! may the general treat the people of the world as his own thoughts and dissuade the Crown Prince from doing so! "
The Curved End was silent for a moment, and then, everyone in the room looked at the Curved End. After a while, the Curved End shook her head and said, "The Crown Prince is the eldest son of the Emperor Jingkang, so inheriting the throne is natural! On the other hand, as the vassal lord, it is extremely inappropriate for the Emperor Kang to try to usurp the throne! "
Before Zhao Ding could even speak, Yang Shi was already enraged. He stood up, his entire body was trembling, and pointed at the Curved End as he scolded: "The Emperor Kang is older, the nation is in chaos, and we have no choice but to inherit the throne! You punk, you only relied on your 100,000 troops and you actually dared to not rely on the Emperor Kang! When the day comes when the Emperor Kang's army arrives in the northwest, you will only have to die! You damned thing! "
Curved End was startled when she heard this, then her face was filled with disgust. He could not tolerate it any longer and immediately said: "Come, send this guest off!"
Zhao Ding was shocked, and said: "General Qu, please listen to me!"
Curved End said: "You don't need to say anything! I will definitely not rely on this traitor, Emperor Kang! Men, quickly send them out! "
A few soldiers rushed in, and they dragged Yang Shi and Zhao Ding out. Yang Shi was still cursing from the side, but Zhao Ding was feeling gloomy! He had initially thought of an excuse to recruit Curved End s, and had even decided to temporarily bestow Curved End s with the titles of "Field Marshal Horse of the Northwest", "throttling of Pingyuan", and "Scholar of Shaanxi Province". Who would have thought that Yang Shi would be confused to such an extent, to actually give the Curved End face!
After Yang Shi and Zhao Ding left, the Curved End asked in disdain, "Who are these two people? Is Emperor Kang just sending this kind of thing to recruit me? "
Wang Shu shook his head, he never thought that the envoy of the Emperor Kang would actually look like this! Especially Yang Shi, he was a renowned scholar in the world, but he did not have the ability to do anything! He had originally hoped that the Curved End would be persuaded by Yang Shi and Zhao Ding to continue adopting his "plan B". Now, it seemed impossible!
"General, we are indeed exhausted from the journey!" I can't hold on any longer, I'm going to rest! " Wang Shu cupped his hands and said.
Although the Curved End's military was strict, he was usually very amiable towards his subordinates, so Wang Shu did not care about all the etiquette.
"Go!" Curved End nodded.
When Wang Shu left, Curved End also felt a little tired, so he went to rest immediately.
The inn slowly quieted down.
At this moment, in a palace at the very back of the Han Palace, Zhao Chen was sitting cross-legged on a cushion!
His eyes were slightly closed as he meditated!
After a long while, he opened his eyes, which were filled with happiness!
After many days of cultivation, his palm wounds and poison injuries from before had been completely healed. Now, his body, spirit, and internal force had all reached the peak level that he could now reach!
Zhao Chen stood up and looked outside the palace!
The doors of the palace were wide open. There was no one outside, and only guards could be seen from far away!
The rain continued to fall. The sound of the rain made everyone's heart seem abnormally calm!
Zhao Chen walked to the door, thinking about something!
"After cultivating for a long time, my inner strength has reached the sixth level of the Postnatal realm!" It's a pity that all of Master's innate ability has been completely used up on Purification, leaving only a little of it remaining in my body! However, these remnants have already allowed me to enter the sixth level of the Postnatal realm! This Sunlight Divine Art is indeed very different from the Emperor's Heavenly Arts from before. After cultivating it, a person's body and spirit would become relaxed and comfortable, floating like an immortal. The previous Emperor's Heavenly Arts did not have such an effect! "
As he was thinking, he heard footsteps coming from afar!
