When a person starts to use violence, it is also when he is most guilty.
Yu Fu suddenly thought of this sentence, and actually showed a smile, Chen Jingxing stood in front of Yu Fu with a righteous face, "Emperor Kun, what are you going to do?!"
Yu Fu gently pushed him away, and Kundi's sword was pointed at her throat, the distance between them was only an arm's length away, and the sword would wipe away her neck at any time.
But Yufu knew that she had never had the initiative like this moment, because Emperor Kun was already on the verge of collapse.
What he was most afraid of was being attacked by foreign enemies when the military strength of the Xikun Kingdom was declining. He was not afraid of Dongling, Gu Huaijiang had already lost power, and Emperor Ning did not have the courage to invade at this time.
But Bei Li is a card that he can't figure out, and if he makes a casual move, there will be an army of 200,000, which makes him feel like he is facing a big enemy.
Yu Fu felt more and more funny, "What? Emperor Kun thought that Ben Gong was imitating your strategy against Dong Ling, first pretending to send a princess to make a marriage, and then secretly sending troops to attack when the other party is not paying attention? You think too much, I, Bei Li, will beat you Xikun, there is absolutely no need for any means."
Emperor Kun naturally understands this truth, he was in a hurry just now, trying to regain the initiative in the game between him and Yufu.
But Yufu didn't mean to be afraid at all, and explained his worries clearly in a few words, and slowly lowered his sword.
Yufu said again: "Besides, you sent Yuyang to Dongling because you have many princesses, and you don't care about losing this one at all. But I, Beili, are different. I am Beili's only heir. How could it be possible for you, Xikun?" That barren land made Ben Gong risk his own life?"
Emperor Kun threw the sword on the ground, and said in a gloomy voice, "Then what does the princess mean by this move? Is it just to let me see how powerful your Beili army is?"
"That's right, I want you to know that Beili wants to break through the land of Xikun in just a moment. I want to tell you that if you want to get Beili's concealment, don't play tricks. What I want is a Gu Shubai As for whether you, Xikun, and Dong Ling will fight or make peace in the future, it is none of my business, Bei Li, and I will not interfere."
"You don't interfere?"
Emperor Kun sneered, "If you don't want to help me Xikun, why should I give Gu Shubai to you today? Isn't this a loss-making business?"
"Why?"
Yu Fu chuckled softly, "Because...you have no choice."
Whether to hand over Gu Shubai or let the Beili army break through the border of Xikun, before Emperor Kun is a choice that must be compromised, which is tantamount to having no choice.
Emperor Kun lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then stared at Yufu gloomily, "Who said I have no choice? If I kill you now, what if I and Bei Liyu die?"
Yu Fu clicked his tongue, "It's useless for me to praise Kundi just now. I thought Kundi was a man who knows the current affairs and is a hero. He is a person who understands the overall situation. I don't think you will say such naive words. Kill Ben Gong What good will it do you? But if you let Gu Shubai leave, I, Bei Li, owe you a favor. At least in the future, if Bei Li wants to expand her territory, she will be concerned about your favor, Xikun. Isn't this benefit more important than Gu Shubai's life?"
Emperor Kun frowned slightly, "But you, Beili, have never launched a war against the two countries in the south, this favor..."
"This favor was not used in the past, but it will definitely be used in the future."
Yu Fu walked slowly to Emperor Kun, whispered a few words to him, and then retreated to his position.
Emperor Kun's face gradually calmed down from horror, and his eyes on Yu Fu were no longer murderous, but a little more respectful.
"Okay, a gentleman is fast with his words. Although the princess is a woman, I believe you are a gentleman."
Yufu picked up the wine bottle and toasted Emperor Kun for the first time after attending so many banquets in Xikun, "Of course, the promise of this palace will always be valid during Emperor Kun's reign."
Kundi paused, feeling a little uncomfortable with her time limit, but he still picked up the wine bottle and drank with her, "It's a deal."
…
"Princess, what did you promise to Kundi just now?"
Escorting Yu Fu back to the Seventh Prince's Mansion, Chen Jingxing couldn't help asking out the doubts in his heart, and Kun Wushang also stopped, "I'm curious too."
Yu Fu smiled, "It's nothing more than the ones you can think of. It's not unusual. It's just that Emperor Kun's original intention may be to propose more unreasonable conditions. If this happened, I still agreed to the condition he valued the most. "
Chen Jingxing frowned, "Emperor Kun's most important condition... Could it be that I, Beili, will not invade the territory of Xikun?"
"good."
Chen Jingxing gave Kun Wushang a weird look. Even though he knew the Seventh Prince's affection for Yufu, his identity as the Seventh Prince of Xikun could not be erased.
It may not be appropriate to talk about some things in front of him.
Kunwu said sadly: "Tonight, swords are on the verge of breaking out in the hall. Everyone must be exhausted physically and mentally, so I will go to rest first. Yufu, you should also rest earlier."
After speaking, he strode towards the mansion.
Chen Jingxing watched him leave, and then said: "Princess, is your promise to Emperor Kun true?"
Yu Fu nodded, "As the crown prince of Beili, how can I be dishonest? I promise that Emperor Kun will never send troops to Xikun in his lifetime, but—"
Chen Jingxing was quite anxious, "But what? I see that Emperor Kun is in good health. He is now in his fifties. If he lives to be seventy or eighty, won't we be very passive?"
It is imperative for Bei Li to unify the mainland of Kyushu, and this is also the mission that Yufu was entrusted with since he was born.
Now she agrees to Emperor Kun's words for Gu Shubai, which is really not good for the ever-changing battle situation in the future.
Yu Fu could see his worry, "Lord Chen, don't worry, Emperor Kun won't live to be seventy or eighty."
"Why don't you live to be seventy or eighty?"
A figure suddenly flew down from the big tree, which startled Chen Jingxing a lot, and when he took a closer look, it turned out to be Yufu's elder sister.
He patted his chest, and Yu Fu hurriedly said: "Elder sister, are you out? Isn't the big brother alone in the mansion, what if something happens to him? No, I have to go in and see him first!"
"I'm here."
Under the tree, a figure sitting in a wheelchair came out slowly, and the tree shadow cast mottled shadows on his jade-like face.
The moonlight shone on half of his face, becoming clearer and clearer, until the whole face was bathed in brightness, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
Yu Fu was surprised: "You two went out?"
Gu Shubai nodded, "Yes, and the harvest is not small, I will talk about this later. I am also curious, why do you say that Emperor Kun will not live to be seventy or eighty?"
With Yuehu and Gu Shubai's hearing ability, Yufu didn't worry that someone around would overhear their conversation, so he said, "Emperor Kun's complexion is not quite right, there is a faint blackness in Yintang. I guess he was hit Some kind of poison that is so slow that it is completely undetectable, and it has been at least five or six years."
Gu Shubai said: "Is it like the poison that the First Prince gave to the late Emperor?"
Yu Fu shook his head and said: "No, it's much slower than that, silently. If it wasn't because he is Kundi, I would even suspect that he just accidentally ate certain foods that are incompatible with each other for many years, so that he would accumulate slight symptoms. Toxins. But the imperial dining room in the palace should not be so negligent, right?"
Yuehu snorted, "So, someone is secretly poisoning Kundi for five or six years, and Kundi himself doesn't know?!"
Yu Fu hissed at her, "Let's talk about it when we go back, it's so late, Mr. Chen should go back first too."
Chen Jingxing bowed his hands to say goodbye, and when he heard Yufu say that Emperor Kun's fate would not be long, he felt much relieved.
When the three of them returned to the main courtyard, Yuehu suddenly thought of something, and covered his mouth in surprise, "Yufu, you said that the person who poisoned Emperor Kun was the one who hurt Kunwu, right?"
Kun Wushang had learned poison in Xianren Valley for so many years. After he returned to Xikun, he often saw Kundi, so he had time to poison him.
Yu Fu shook his head, "I don't know, I can't rule out this possibility. But elder sister, don't forget, we have so many Xikun disciples in the valley, and there may not be others' minions among them. Besides, if Emperor Kun died, the most proud person should not be Kun Wu was injured, but Kun Junyue was right. It's a pity that I don't have a chance to feel the pulse of Emperor Kun, otherwise I might be able to find out the source of the poison."
Yuehu smiled maliciously, "But now Kun Junyue is paralyzed by you, and he can't get out of bed for a while. If Kunwu hurts this kid, three months is enough for him to overwhelm mountains and seas. Until that At that time, if Emperor Kun really died of poison, it might not be cheaper for anyone!"
Yufu is not interested in Xikun's internal affairs. Whether it is Kun Junyue or Kun Wu who gets the position, they will not be an opponent that can be underestimated in the future.
but…
Compared to Kun Junyue, she hoped that Kun Wu was injured.
Gu Shubai said: "Yufu, since Emperor Kun has negotiated the terms with you, and my injury is almost healed, when will we return to Dongling?"
He usually doesn't talk about it, but he has always been concerned about the situation of the people in Guhou Mansion, and he pays special attention to every news from Dong Ling.
Yu Fu understood in her heart, but...
"Big Brother, I originally planned to discuss this matter with you. I can start the journey in a day or two, but your injury is not completely healed yet. I mean, let Eldest Sister take you back to Immortal Valley to recuperate slowly. .”
Gu Shubai's complexion changed suddenly, "You don't plan to let me go back to Dongling with you?"
Yu Fu knew that Gu Shubai would react in this way, so she bit the bullet and said: "One is that your injury is still not healed, and you have trouble moving, so even if you go back, it won't be of much help. The other is that when you arrive at Dongling, Yin Shuo and the others found out that you are not dead, and they will definitely imprison you and the General and the others. Brother, you always say that the overall situation is the most important thing, and I let you go to Immortal Valley because of the overall situation!"
Yu Fu had never spoken to Gu Shubai in such a tone before, and the latter quickly sensed something was wrong, "Is it because my father said something to you? Or is their situation very bad, so you dare not let me go back together?" ?”
Yu Fu quickly explained: "No, no, they are not bad. Didn't I show you the last letter sent back from Dongling? Now they are only imprisoned, and there is success, he will not let Ning Chengzhi ordered to kill someone."
"That's what my father meant. My father won't let me go back."
He used an affirmative sentence, and did not ask Yu Fu what he meant, Yu Fu was told the truth by him, biting his lower lip for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
Yuehu had already retreated quietly outside the door, not getting involved in the problems between the young couple.
After being silent for a while, Gu Shubai said: "Yufu, first, my injury is almost healed, and it will take at least ten days to return to Lin'an, ten days is enough for me to heal my injury. Even if I can't recover my previous martial arts, at least I also have the ability to protect myself. As for the second thing you said, as my father's eldest son, Gu Xiang, and Gu Yi's eldest brother, I must be by their side at this moment. We must live together in life, and we must die together in death. , never live alone."
"what about me?"
Gu Shubai smiled, "Of course you want to be with our family, but we will only live together, we will not die. You can even deal with a difficult person like Kundi, but I'm afraid you can't deal with Ning Chengzhi Is it?"
Yu Fu thinks what he said makes sense, but no one can guarantee that she can really persuade Ning Chengzhi to release him, not to mention there is Yin Shuo who is a hundred times more difficult than Ning Chengzhi in the middle.
In case her trip doesn't go well, then Gu Shubai will be alone in Immortal Valley...
Thinking of this, Yu Fu made up his mind, "Okay, let's go back together, we will live together, and we will die together!"
The next day, he bid farewell to Emperor Kun, and on the morning of the third day, Beili's envoy and his party set off.
When leaving, Yufu saw a woman wearing a tight cloak with a familiar face, not a member of Beili's envoys.
That seems to be... Yin Jiyi
Impossible, it is impossible for Yin Jiyi to be in Xikun.
The woman in the cloak walked towards Yufu with her head bowed, and when she approached her, she raised her head slightly and showed her full face.
Yu Fu raised his eyebrows, never expecting that the person in the cloak was Liu Tingting—the sister of Liu Yinyin, the former Xikun female general, and the real aunt of Yin Jigui.
Thinking back to what Gu Shubai said about his going to the Liu Mansion that night, it was not difficult for Yu Fu to understand her intention, "Will General Liu go to Dongling with us?"
Liu Tingting nodded slightly, "Since it is Yinyin's blood, I must take a look with my own eyes. What's more, the prince said that her life is not easy, if it is true, I must take her back to Xikun. Although Liu's family is suppressed, what is it? A century-old general will never treat her badly!"
Yu Fu nodded, "I think Ji Kui also really wants to see relatives from her mother clan."
Yuehu walked slowly with Gu Shubai's support, he can barely stand up now, he did not lie to Yufu, as long as he is given some more time, his injuries will heal soon.
Seeing Gu Shubai, Liu Tingting gave him a manly salute, and retreated into the carriage behind without saying anything.
Xikun Liu's family and Dongling Guhou's Mansion were originally feuds. Since the death of their predecessor Liu Yinyin, the Liu family has regarded the Gu family's army as their sworn enemy.
Now for the sake of Yin Ji, the two sides have turned their enemies into friends and temporarily reached an alliance, which makes Yufu feel that the world is changing.
"Big brother, you get on my carriage."
The carriage in the Yufu honor guard is a fine product carefully crafted by the royal craftsmen. It not only runs smoothly but also runs fast, which is conducive to Gu Shubai's wound recovery.
Gu Shubai did not refuse, and got into the carriage first, Liu Yufu said goodbye to Kun Wushang who was standing in front of the Seventh Prince's Mansion.
Kun Wushang has been standing quietly at the same spot until everyone got into the carriage, not wanting Yufu to come here to say goodbye to him.
"Anyway, I still want to thank you for saving the big brother."
Kun Wushang smiled bitterly: "You have thanked me many times, in fact, I just want that person to owe me a favor, but I didn't expect him to not even say a word of thanks."
He raised his chin in the direction of the carriage, meaning Gu Shubai, unexpectedly Gu Shubai quickly opened the curtain and threw something towards him.
Kun Wushang caught it carefully, it turned out to be a small kit.
Gu Shubai's voice came from the carriage, "This kit is my thank you, you can open it at the most critical time."
Kun Wu's face was inexplicably hurt.
During these days of recuperating in the Seventh Prince's Mansion, Gu Shubai seemed to have reached a tacit understanding with Kun Wushang, and the relationship between the two became more subtle.
It is even more wrong to say that they are friends, but they are not like each other, and it is even more wrong to say that they are enemies.
Yu Fu couldn't help laughing, "I don't just want to thank you, whether we meet in Xikun, Beili, or on the battlefield in the future. I will definitely remember today's favor and repay you double."
After finishing speaking, she turned back to the carriage, Yao Lan helped her into the carriage, and the group headed out of Xixian City in a mighty manner.
Kun Wushang knew that outside the city there was a practice wine set up by Emperor Kun himself, and he didn't want to go, he just wanted to watch Yufu leave quietly here.
Chen Jingxing rode a horse to accompany Yufu's carriage, and asked through the curtain of the carriage, "Princess, do we have to detour through the Immortal Valley first, and then enter Dongling from the territory of Beili?"
Prince Bei Li, as an envoy, entered Dongling from the territory of Xikun, which was somewhat inappropriate in terms of diplomatic etiquette.
Yufu's voice was clear and decisive, "No, we will enter Dongling from Zhuguan."
