Sure enough, when they got up, the people in the hall who were just listening to music gradually began to show their ugly expressions.
This made Xie Linlang feel absurd, as if seeing the wine pond and meat forest that only existed in the book, the disgust for Xichuan Hou was extremely extreme.
When they were in the side room, the air was clear, and the maids held a new banquet. Xie Linlang and Qin Jue sat opposite Xichuan Hou, and beside him was the ordinary-looking but always smiling Li Xun Keqing.
Because she was really disgusted, Xie Linlang didn't want to make excuses any more, she raised her head and said sternly.
"Master Hou, we are all straightforward people. Why don't you open the skylight and say something bright. You have asked the city lord several times, what is the reason?"
The burly Xichuan Hou heard the words and glanced at Li Xun beside him, and then Li Xun bowed to Xie Linlang and said with a smile.
"City Lord Xie is refreshing, since you said so, our Marquis will treat each other with sincerity.
To be honest, our Marquis is in a hurry to meet the Lord City Lord because the Lord City Lord is overjoyed! "
Xie Linlang raised her eyebrows slightly, "Oh? I don't know where the joy of the city owner comes from?"
Li Xun smiled and said with narrowed eyes.
"Because of the incompetence today, the war between Marsh Kingdom and Daqin is imminent. Isn't this the chance for City Lord Xie?"
"Oh?" Xie Linlang raised her eyebrows, "You continue."
"City Lord Xie, think about it, the emperor fought against the aristocratic family for a demon concubine first, and because he couldn't find out the truth about the death of the prince of the Marsh Kingdom, the war was about to break out, and the people's hearts were lost later.
Such internal and external troubles made everyone extremely disappointed in him! In your hand, you are holding a chess piece of the orthodox blood of the royal family. As long as the time is right, you raise your arms and the world will be in your hands..."
Xie Linlang smiled, this kind of measure to persuade others, she would know when she was three years old.
So she said, "Are you thinking too naive? Even if the noble family is not satisfied with His Majesty, even if the two countries are about to go to war and cause people's grievances, His Majesty has other children, and I am far away in Xiangcheng, what can I do? "
At this time, Hou Xichuan finally spoke. Although he was sixty years old, his voice was still strong and powerful!
"City Lord Xie occupies the right time and place, the only thing missing is a little manpower!
Having said that, Ben Hou will not hide it from you, that Marsh Kingdom will declare war on Daqin next month! At that time, the Swamp Council will send 100,000 troops to attack Huanglong! With this kind of assistance, as long as the city lord Xie takes the prince to join the Swamp Country, there will naturally be soldiers and horses from the Swamp Country to serve you! "
"Once Swamp Country's soldiers and horses go to the capital, then no matter who is in power at that time, you can pull him off his horse and replace him with your own people, why not do it?"
Xie Linlang's thoughts sank, "So... Master Hou is already from Marsh Country?"
This is really not good news. There are many mountains and forests in Xichuan, and it is a dangerous place where the two countries meet, and Swamp Kingdom has already penetrated Xichuan. It seems that it has been planned for a long time. Maybe there is a lot of tricks, and it is very likely to be suicide.
Xichuan waited for a while, then looked at Xie Linlang and Qin Jue and smiled gloomily.
"Yeah, the lord of the Marsh Kingdom treats Ben Hou with as much kindness as a mountain, and trusts Ben Hou, and Ben Hou is willing to serve him and be loyal for generations!"
Qin Jue on the side finally spoke, but her voice was extremely cold.
"If it weren't for the late emperor, you are still raising horses in Bianzhou. Could it be that the late emperor did not treat you with a kindness like a mountain?"
"Because you were loyal enough and brave enough back then, the late emperor gave you the reward of this dangerous place. So, isn't that trustworthy?"
Qin Jue's words made Hou Xichuan's smile froze on his face, and then Qin Jue said again.
"Since you are doing betrayal, don't flaunt your loyalty. Presumably your current master thinks the same way."
Qin Jue's words completely cooled the atmosphere present.
Xie Linlang almost couldn't hold back her laughter, she forced a calm look at Hou Xichuan's gloomy face.
"Okay, what's the use of saying it nicely? It's for me, but the people of Marsh country want to reduce war damage, so they want to use the blood of the Daqin royal family as a hostage to open the way, right?"
If she really handed Qin Jue over to the people of the Marsh country, those people could justifiably do aggression in the name of helping the crown prince restore.
With the blood of the Daqin imperial family as the leader, many places may still be victorious without fighting. If there is a deadly battle, holding Qin Jue in front of the battle as a hostage can greatly reduce the momentum of the Qin army. It can be said that it is very powerful. Good abacus.
Seeing Xie Linlang's remarks, Xichuan Hou was not angry, but sneered.
"Benhou also knows what you are thinking about, and you still think that one day, the emperor will take the initiative to call the prince back, and then you will be able to use him to control the power justifiably.
I have to say, your idea is great! But now and then, the emperor himself can't protect himself. Do you think that if he really calls the prince back, will the ministers who have had a gap with the emperor admit him? No, they will only make other princes as crown princes as soon as possible, and then you will get nothing! "
Xie Linlang didn't expect that the idea that she used to deceive the Wang family would have spread to Xichuan, so she asked with great interest.
"Then what can I get when I join the Swamp Country now?"
Hou Xichuan raised his chin and said aggressively.
"Allegiance to my king, you will not only get a position of power, but also get an endless lifespan!"
He said, standing up, the body as tall as a bear can give people a strong sense of oppression just standing there!
There was a fiery light in his eyes, and his words were extremely sincere!
"My king has a secret technique that can prolong life! He is already one hundred and twenty years old, but he can still have children, and I, two out of sixty, ordinary mortals can no longer work at my age, but I But I can feel that my current power is stronger than when I was in my twenties or thirties! Don't you want such a terrifying power?"
Xie Linlang raised her head to look at him, her eyes were the same as those of mental retardation!
So Numokuni's method to subdue Nishikawa is to brainwash him? Is Shinuma country immortal
This is too shabby!
However, considering that Xichuan Hou is over 60, people of this age will indeed start to fear death, especially those with power and power.
This is why so many emperors in history would want to practice immortality elixir.
Coupled with the magic provided by Numokuni, it really gave him the illusion of "rebirth", so it is not surprising that he would be so fanatical.
But the way of heaven is balanced, and there will be deficiencies when there is excess. She saw Xi Chuanhou's eyes bursting out and his cheeks were red, and she always felt that his current state was very similar to a poison she had seen before...
There is also a very serious problem, that is, the other party's "frankness", it seems that if she wants to leave, it will not be so easy.
