When the news spread to the court, it was not the emperor who usually loved Ling Rong the most, but Qi Jinluo who reacted the most.
"What did you say?!" The fourth prince, who has always been calm and self-sufficient, suddenly turned his head and stared at the soldier who sent the news. If it wasn't for Qi Jinluo, he would have stood still. It was as if he was about to kill him here.
It was terrifying, even if he was on the battlefield, he had never seen such a look in his eyes.
The soldier could only repeat the words tremblingly: "The barbarians said... the little prince must go to marry him, so that he can redeem the prince and retreat."
If he hadn't remembered that this was the previous dynasty and he couldn't carry a sword in his hand, he might have chopped it down with his sword to vent his anger.
At this time, the emperor finally said: "Absurd! The young prince is a man, how can he use the word "marriage" to insult him! The barbarians are really deceiving!"
"But Your Majesty, what should we do now? The barbarians have seized my land in Daqi, and the King of Zhennan has also fallen into the hands of the enemy. If you don't agree..." It was Prime Minister Zuo who stood up to speak, and when he spoke, he was sincere. It seems that he is really worried about the future of Jiangshan.
But his words were cut off by Qi Jinluo: "Then Prime Minister Zuo means to ask His Majesty to send the young prince to marry him? It's a shame for a man to marry him. The king of Zhennan is working hard for the country on the front line, but you want his only son to marry him?" What is the intention of bowing down to the barbarian king?"
Aside from the anger, Qi Jinluo also had questions in his mind. Logically speaking, it is impossible for the barbarian king to know A Rong, and A Rong is still a man, so how could he suddenly make such a ridiculous request
Although the barbarians are indeed not a civilized place, can a king marry a man, can their people accept it
It can only be said that Qi Jinluo really underestimated the temptation of beauty. Ling Rong's indistinguishable appearance is unmatched by anyone. The barbarian king saw this exquisite beauty at first sight in a group of portraits, and then he never looked at her again. He didn't like others, at first he didn't realize who it was, he just thought that the Central Plains was really rich in beauties.
But after seeing the name on the painting, the barbarian king suddenly realized, why is this beauty the surname of the royal family of Qi State? When he asked someone to inquire, he realized that this beauty turned out to be the only son of their old barbarian enemy, King Zhennan!
The beauty turned out to be a man!
The barbarian king only struggled for a while, and then stopped hesitating. He has always been a man of meat and vegetables, and this little prince is a rare celestial being. It would be good to kidnap and be a plaything, and he can also humiliate Qi Guo. , So the order to replace people was passed down like this.
But in fact, the King of Zhennan was not in their hands, nor did he become their captive. When they went to ambush and attack, that guy actually broke through their siege and fled to nowhere with wounds all over his body. It is said that the Qi army did not find it, so the barbarian king decisively decided to make up such a lie, pretending that the king of Zhennan had been captured by them, so as to destroy the morale of those Central Plains people.
Back at the court, Prime Minister Zuo blushed slightly when he was stunned by Qi Jinluo's words: "The Fourth Highness misunderstood the old minister, and the old minister definitely didn't mean that."
Qi Jinluo didn't want to listen to his nonsense, he looked at Qi Jinnan meaningfully, the coldness in his eyes became more and more intense, he didn't believe that this person didn't intervene in this matter.
It's just that he didn't expect Qi Jinnan to be able to do this. In order to compete with him for the throne, even the national interests can be left behind!
It doesn't matter if this person is only targeting him for wanting to seize the throne, but if A Rong is involved... then he absolutely cannot tolerate it.
"Father, my son is willing to go to the front line in person, rescue the uncle, and let Daqi return to stability!" After thinking for a while, Qi Jinluo made this decision, stood up and begged for his life.
"Fourth brother, this front line is not a place where you can just go." The emperor has always wanted this son-in-law to inherit his seat, and he certainly didn't want him to go on this adventure.
"But father, I'm not afraid, I will make those barbarians pay the price for humiliating me, Da Qi!" Qi Jinluo's heart is full of hatred for the barbarian king at this moment, and if he dares to covet his Arong, then Be prepared to be beaten.
The emperor wanted to say that this matter will be discussed later, but was interrupted by Qi Jinluo's insistence.
"Father, I beg your order to go to the front line, I will never let my cousin go to marry!"
He was slightly surprised by the unusual determination and certainty in his eyes. The emperor did not expect his son to be able to do this for Ling Rong. He was slightly moved by the rare royal feelings. Then he sighed and confirmed again: " Are you really going? That's the battlefield."
Qi Jinluo nodded without hesitation: "My son has learned a thing or two from the emperor's uncle. Although he can't compare with the emperor's uncle, he will definitely not allow barbarians to easily step into our homeland!"
The emperor finally compromised: "Okay, you go, I will send another thousand troops to go with you, I wish you a triumphant return!" It is time for the candidate to have a result.
"Thank you father!"
Waiting for them to finish speaking, Qi Jinnan and his grandfather looked at each other, nodded tacitly and then felt concerned.
After the next dynasty, left the prime minister's mansion.
"Your Highness, why did this barbarian suddenly ask the young prince to marry him? This is really a big favor to us." Although Prime Minister Zuo knew that his grandson had done something wrong, he still couldn't think of it.
"Actually, I don't know, but I asked the group of staff. It seems that when someone prepared the portrait of a beauty, he somehow mixed the portrait of Qi Rong into it, and it's not like you don't know the appearance of my cousin, the barbarian king. It's not surprising to see her."
"That's really God's will. King Zhennan was taken captive, and the fourth prince is going to the front line now. He must not be allowed to come back victorious this time, otherwise the throne will definitely belong to him!"
Going to face Qi Jinluo this time is a challenge even if the opportunity is there, but they will only cut off this opportunity from the source!
Qi Jinnan slowly put his hands behind his back, his eyes revealing that he must win. His imperial brother, this game of seizing the heir apparent should be over.
Qi Jinluo rushed to Zhennan Prince's Mansion as soon as he came down to court, and since she recovered from her illness, Ling Rong took the initiative to move back, which made him depressed for a while.
The news of King Zhennan's accident has long been hidden from Ling Rong, and now Qi Jinluo himself is about to go to war, which made him cautious when he came back to see Ling Rong, for fear that Ling Rong would be worried.
"You mean the barbarian king asked me to get married in exchange for my father?" Hearing the news of the former court from the system, Ling Rong sneered at it.
She doesn't believe the barbarian king's nonsense. The quality of the safety talisman given by the system is absolutely guaranteed. She dares to guess that the king of Zhennan is definitely not in the hands of the barbarian at this moment. Maybe he is healing in a dark place, waiting for the right one. Opportunity to return to the tent.
As for the barbarian king's request, he treated it as a joke, and wanted her to get married, probably because he thought too beautifully.
Seeing that her complexion was not good, Qi Jinluo thought she was worried, and quickly assured her: "Don't worry, Arong, I will definitely teach them a hard lesson this time, and I will also rescue the emperor's uncle. Nothing will happen to you at all.”
Ling Rong patted his chest casually: "I believe in you, as long as you and Daddy are safe."
The warmth spread from the chest through the fabric to the depths of the heart, Qi Jinluo grinned and held the hand tightly: "Don't worry, Rong, I will never let you have trouble."
Except for him, no one has the right to own this person. The possessive desire in the depths of Qi Jinluo's eyes has become more and more prominent. He has long been vaguely aware of his unusual treatment of A Rong, and today he knows that the barbarian king actually wants A Rong to go and kiss him. Afterwards this understanding becomes clearer.
He couldn't accept that there were other men around Ah Rong, and the same was true for women. This was the younger brother he had protected since childhood, how could he let it go to others! This feeling may be gratitude and family affection at the beginning, but as we get closer to this person, the so-called family affection changes.
Why is he willing to just be Ah Rong's elder brother? What he really wants is to wrap this person in his arms and protect him well. If one day he can occupy that position, then the position standing beside him will not matter. If there is anyone else, it can only be Arong, and the so-called harem is even less likely to exist.
"This is my identity token, you take it, Arong. With it, you can mobilize all my power at will. You can go to Taifu's mansion to find my grandfather and you can see them. During the time I am not in the capital, I Let them protect you."
By handing over the jade badge representing his status to Ling Rong, Qi Jinluo confessed everything about himself to Ling Rong. The forces hidden in the Taifu's mansion were his biggest cards, and he willingly gave them all to Ling Rong. superior.
"Don't worry, I'm not as weak as you believe, okay, I'm also Daddy's child." Ling Rong glanced at his mouth, as if he had a problem with his worry about himself.
"Also, remember to take the safety talisman I gave you with you, and you must not lose it, you know?" Ling Rong had already obtained a safety talisman for him. The reason for avoiding the eldest prince's shots by coincidence many times.
Thinking of the peace talisman that had been well hidden in his heart, Qi Jinluo smiled softly: "I will."
Qi Jinluo left the capital the next day. After seeing him off, Ling Rong walked to a relatively remote room in the palace, knocked on the door, pushed the door open and walked in.
When the people inside saw the person coming, they immediately knelt down and made a big salute.
"Xie Qing, thank you little prince for saving your life!"
