Chapter 198 Asking for Monthly Votes
Sure enough, when they got up, the people in the hall who were just listening to the music gradually began to show their ugly appearance.
This gave Xie Linlang an absurd feeling, as if he had seen a wine pond and meat forest that only existed in books, and his inner disgust for Xichuan Hou was to the extreme.
When they arrived in the side room, the air suddenly cleared, and the maids held a banquet again. Xie Linlang and Qin Jue sat opposite the Xichuan Marquis. Next to him was Li Xun, a guest with an ordinary appearance but always smiling.
Because she was really disgusted, Xie Linlang didn't want to be conceited anymore. She raised her head and said seriously.
"Master Marquis, we are all straightforward people. Why don't we open the skylight and speak frankly? Why did you show your kindness several times and call the Lord of the City to come?"
The burly Marquis Xichuan glanced at Li Xun beside him, and then Li Xun saluted Xie Linlang and said with a smile.
"Thank you City Lord for your enthusiasm. Since you said so, our Lord Marquis will treat you with sincerity.
To be honest, our Lord Marquis is anxious to make friends with the Lord of the City because the Lord of the City is overjoyed! "
Xie Linlang raised her eyebrows slightly, "Oh? I wonder where this city lord's happiness comes from?"
Li Xun smiled and said with narrowed eyes.
"Because of the current stupidity and incompetence, the war between the Zhu Kingdom and the Qin Dynasty is about to begin. Isn't this the opportunity to thank the city lord?"
"Oh?" Xie Linlang raised her eyebrows, "You continue."
"City Master Xie, think about it. The emperor first went against the family for the sake of a demon concubine, and because he has been unable to find out the truth about the death of the prince of the Marsh Kingdom, the war will be catastrophic and he will lose the support of the people.
Such internal and external troubles made everyone extremely disappointed in him! But in your hand, you hold a chess piece of the royal family's orthodox bloodline. As long as the time is right, you will raise your arms and the world will be under your control..."
Xie Linlang smiled. She knew how to persuade others at the age of three.
So she said, "Are you a little too naive? Even if the family is dissatisfied with His Majesty, even if the two countries are about to go to war and cause public resentment, Your Majesty still has other children, and I am far away in Xiangcheng, what can I do? "
At this time, Marquis Xichuan finally spoke. Although he was sixty years old, his voice was still strong and powerful!
“City Lord Xie is in the right place at the right time, the only thing missing is a little manpower!
Having said that, I will not hide it from you. The country of Nuo will declare war on Da Qin next month! At that time, the Numao Congress will send 100,000 troops to attack Huanglong! With this kind of help, as long as City Lord Xie brings the prince to the Marsh Kingdom, then there will naturally be soldiers and horses from the Marsh Kingdom to serve you! "
"Once the soldiers and horses of the Nuo Kingdom attack the capital, no matter who is in office at that time, you can pull him down and replace him with your own people. Why not?"
Xie Linlang's mind sank, "So... the Marquis is already from the Swamp Country?"
This is really not good news. There are many mountains and forests in Xichuan, which is a dangerous place at the junction of the two countries. However, I don’t know when the country of Numa has penetrated into Xichuan. It seems that it has been planned for a long time. In this way, the death of the prince of the country of Numa Maybe there was something fishy going on, and it was probably suicide.
Marquis Xichuan paused, then looked at Xie Linlang and Qin Jue and smiled gloomily.
"Yes, the king of the Marsh Kingdom treats me with great kindness and trust in me. I am willing to do my best for him and will be loyal for generations!"
Qin Jue on the side finally spoke, but his voice was extremely cold.
"If it weren't for the late emperor, you would still be raising horses in Bianzhou. Could it be that the late emperor didn't treat you with enough kindness?"
"Because you were loyal and brave enough back then, the late emperor rewarded you with this dangerous place. Doesn't this count as a sign of trust?"
Qin Jue's words made Marquis Xichuan's smile freeze on his face, and then Qin Jue said again.
"Since you are committing betrayal, don't flaunt your loyalty. Your current master must also think so."
Qin Jue's words completely condensed the atmosphere present.
Xie Linlang almost couldn't help laughing, and forced herself to look at Xi Chuanhou's gloomy face.
"Okay, what's the point of saying it nicely? They say they're working for me, but in fact the people of the Marsh Kingdom want to reduce the damage of the war, so they want to use the blood of the Great Qin royal family as hostages to clear the way, right?"
If she really hands Qin Jue over to the people of the Zhou Kingdom, those people can justifiably carry out the invasion in the name of helping the prince to be restored.
With the blood of the Great Qin royal family as the name, many places may be able to win without fighting. If there is a deadly battle, holding Qin Jue in front of the formation as a hostage can also greatly reduce the momentum of the Qin army. It can be said that it is very powerful. Good calculation.
Seeing Xie Linlang's clear words, Marquis Xichuan was not angry, but just sneered.
"I also know what you are planning. You still think that one day, the emperor will take the initiative to call the prince back, and then you will be able to legitimately control the power through him.
I have to say, your idea is very good! But now and then, the emperor himself cannot be protected at the moment. Do you think that if he really calls the prince back, the ministers who have already had a rift with the emperor will recognize him? No, they will only make other princes the crown prince as soon as possible. By then, you will get nothing! "
Xie Linlang didn't expect that the idea she used to deceive the Wang family would actually spread to Xichuan, so she asked with interest.
"Then what can I gain by joining the Swamp Country now?"
Marquis Xichuan raised his chin and said in an imposing manner.
"Be loyal to my king, and you will not only gain a powerful position, but also an endless lifespan!"
As he spoke, he stood up. His body as tall as a bear gave people a strong sense of oppression just by standing there!
There was a fiery light in his eyes, and his words were extremely sincere!
"My king has a secret technique that can extend people's lifespan! He is currently one hundred and twenty years old, but he can still prolong his heirs. And I am sixty-two. Ordinary mortals can no longer work at my age, but I But I can feel that my power now is stronger than when I was in my twenties and thirties! Don’t you want such terrifying power?”
Xie Linlang looked up at him, as if he was mentally retarded!
So the way for Numa Kingdom to conquer Marquis Xichuan is to brainwash him? Shinuma Kingdom will have eternal life?
This is too ridiculous!
However, considering that Xichuan Houdu is over sixty, people of this age will indeed start to fear death, especially powerful people.
This is why so many emperors in history wanted to practice the elixir of immortality.
In addition, the sorcery provided by the Swamp Kingdom really gave him the illusion of "reviving". It is not surprising that he would be so fanatical.
However, the way of heaven is balanced, and if there is excess, there will be deficiency. Seeing Xi Chuanhou's eyes popping up and his cheeks red, 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 is "honest to each other". It seems that if she wants to leave, it will not be that easy.
(Today is also the opening of 8,000 words! The journey in Xichuan is not that simple, there will be many interesting things happening, hahahaha~ Good night~! (Super loudly asking for a monthly ticket~)?)
