Volume II Power Vortex Chapter 73 Five Kings discuss matters! (1)
The fact that the two princes, twenty important ministers of Zhongzhou City, and a king of the Southern Territory visited the "Wenwen Township" together suddenly became a joke for the people of Zhongzhou City after dinner.
Ms. Miao Yan was even more famous, attracting many people to go to [Renwenxiang] just to see what this strange woman who caused the two princes to fight looked like.
He Xiao was not ashamed, but proud. He even suggested that Yang Ma provide meeting services with Miss Miao Yan at the price of one tael of silver per time, so that he could make a lot of money.
But Qi Rushong was so ashamed that he never wanted to go out again.
For a long time after that day, the "culprit" He Xiao approached him several times, but he refused.
There were only three days left for the Five Kings to discuss matters, and he didn't want to get into trouble again.
Three days later at dusk, Qi Rusong dressed neatly and walked out of the door.
The royal guards had already prepared their carriages, just waiting for him to set off.
Thousands of years ago, Zhongzhou City only had a forest and a small group of fishermen living at the mouth of the Changhe River. It was not until the ancestors of the Gu family, led by the ancient gods, that they landed at the mouth of the Changhe River, and built his city on the top of the highest hill with soil and wood.
fortress.
Later, the demon tribe was pacified, and the ancestors of the Gu clan decided to build a city here, and the fortress built at the beginning became the palace of Daxia Kingdom today.
About seven hundred years ago, a fire broke out in the palace. So when it was renovated later, the main body of the palace was made entirely of stone without any wood. This was to prevent anyone from burning it with fire.
After walking through the front yard, there is the atrium of the palace, a spectacular square. Standing on the square, you can overlook the entire Zhongzhou City from its terrace. Huge marble pillars surround the square, which looks extremely majestic and majestic.
After walking through the square, there is an ancient garden, built in the name of the previous emperor of Great Xia.
After passing the garden, there is the banquet hall.
Outside the tall, intricately carved wooden door, stood two guards wearing gold-plated half-helmets, with the Great Xia royal emblem embroidered on their chests. Both of them were 1.9 meters tall, with broad shoulders and thin waists, and full of muscles.
Seeing Qi Rusong coming, they immediately saluted: "Your Highness, please come in!"
The two opened the door. "Like a pine, like a pine!" He heard his voice before seeing the person, and He Xiao's voice penetrated his cochlea again.
The Crown Prince of the Eastern Territory ran forward, "Are you willing to leave your nest?"
"To avoid you!" Qi Rusong looked at him pretending to be disgusted.
"Ha, are you afraid that I will eat you?" He Xiao sent the guards away, then took Qi Rusong's arm, "Come on, come in quickly!"
In the hall, a fire crackled and burned, and sweet vanilla was scattered on the floor.
"Humph, has the matter from last time been resolved?"
"What else can we do to the two princes? Of course, big things will be reduced to trivial matters, and trivial matters will be reduced to nothing!" He Xiao said with a playful smile.
"What nonsense are you talking about here?" came a female voice.
Qi Rusong followed the sound and saw a woman in her late fifties who was wearing a simple long dress without any other jewelry and only wearing a ring.
Although there are signs of aging, she still cannot stop her beautiful appearance.
"Ha, mother!" He Xiao scratched his head, "Oh, no! Hello, Your Majesty! Allow me to introduce to you, this is the recent man of the hour in Daxia Kingdom, the King of the South: Qi Rusong!"
"Hello, Your Majesty!" Qi Rushong saluted her.
"You don't have to be so polite!" The King of the East's voice was soft, and he smelled of rose water. "You are that Qi Rushong. Whenever I open my eyes recently, there are stories about you everywhere. Now I finally meet you!"
"You are joking!"
"Haha, it turns out that he is of the Qi family, and his personality is the same as your grandfather and father." He Lin said, "I know your grandfather, although we don't know each other well."
"He died before I was born."
"Yes, I remembered!" She blew her nose. "Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, I am already half a century old. Maybe one day death will come quietly."
"Mom, you just celebrated your fiftieth birthday!!! What nonsense are you talking about!"
"Darkness will eventually come to everyone, but it will come sooner to some people. Rusong, you can understand this better than most people."
I can certainly understand that my mother...
"Mother! Why are you bringing this up?" He Xiao said.
"Then what are we talking about? About you, a playboy who only thinks about women?" the King of the East said bluntly, "Or about your father? Has he fulfilled his responsibility?
There is nothing left behind, just us orphans and widowed mothers! Sometimes I feel that I wish I were a country peasant woman, working as the sun rises and breathing as the sun sets.
You don’t have to face a large group of fat men who only know how to fight for power and gain as soon as you wake up!”
"Father and grandpa are not such people!"
"Yes, they are great princes!" Qi Rusong said politely.
"Great idiot!" He Lin corrected, "Don't get me wrong, I love my father. He is kind-hearted and powerful, but his brain just can't be turned around!"
"Ha, why are you exaggerating more and more! Please be careful with your words, otherwise Rusong will think that our family is a bunch of weirdos."
"He will think that we are a group of interesting people. Anyway, at least our Crown Prince of the Eastern Region is a heartthrob, right?" The King of the Eastern Region turned back to Qi Rusong's direction, "Speaking of which, those people in the Eastern Region who claim to be [Orthodox]
People from the He family. Huh!”
"Why bother with them?" He Xiao said, "A bunch of self-righteous bastards."
"Why bother with them?" The King of the Eastern Territory's expression changed. "Their behavior is rebellious. I warned your uncle. The succession to the throne of the Eastern Territory follows the ancestral family law. How could he make such a request?"
Tsk-tsk, he also told me that the inheritance of power will always return to the [Orthodox He Family] lineage."
"Kill me. If I die, He's spiritual energy will awaken among the other members!"
Qi Rusong opened his mouth wide, he had understood. He Xiao's uncle, as a so-called [orthodox He family], was peering at the throne! "The strong man in Daxia is respected!"
The King of the East Realm disagreed, "Strong? What's the use! Ambitious people will do anything!" She said, "Also, our two princes, especially the second prince, I hope you will tell the truth.
What kind of person do you think he is?"
Qi Rusong was shocked, "He...I..." He is also a person with a strong desire for power, and his methods are not very upright.
"Don't you dare to say it? I admit that these two princes look like kings. Hmm, both of them are somewhat arrogant men. This should also be attributed to their Gu family lineage.
However, we have heard many disturbing rumors. Is there any truth to these rumors? All rumors point to Yue'er!"
"Yue'er?"
"Ha, you still don't know our Princess Daxia's maiden name, right?" He Xiao said with a smile, "Gu Lingsheng, her nickname is Yue'er."
That girl who also inherited Gu's spiritual energy? Qi Rusong didn't know how to answer for a moment.
He Lin was a little impatient, "Why do you have the same virtue as your father? I'm asking you a question and waiting for your answer. Has your tongue been pulled out by your brother? My child!"
"The second prince is a very nice person. The princess is his sister. No matter what kind of rumors they are, they are all groundless."
"He is a very nice person? Why don't you say he is the reincarnation of a true dragon? The Gu family all say they are true dragons, and the other four tribes are just insects that serve them!" The King of the East Territory shouted sternly, "What I'm asking is
What is the reason why he must kill your brother?"
"The second prince must be upholding justice!" Qi Rusong lied, "My brother really deserves to die!"
"Damn it! You have fallen into the trap of the Gu clan! They just hope that our four families will be afraid of him, and then they will give you a candy to eat and make you work for him wholeheartedly! If they can uphold justice, our country of Daxia will still
Are there so many injustices?”
"Rusong," He Xiao quickly interrupted their conversation, "You are addicted to alcohol, come and have a good drink with us!"
"Is there any sweet-scented osmanthus wine in the south?" Qi Rushong asked.
"Yes, there are all the fine wines of the demon clan. Hahaha!"
"What kind of wine should you drink? One less drink will not kill anyone!" The King of the Eastern Realm turned to scold He Xiao, "Are you afraid of talking about the second prince? My child! Don't be afraid. Why is this annual gathering called the [Five Kings Meeting]?
That’s because the ancient gods entrusted the responsibility of guarding Daxia to my five major families, but they have never established a so-called emperor!"
"There is no [Emperor]?"
"Yes, I didn't lie to you a word!" He Lin said, "I don't know when, the Gu clan started to call themselves the Emperor of Great Xia. I really don't know why he has it!"
"Based on the strength of the Great Xia Emperor!" A rich voice came, and Qi Rusong remembered that this voice belonged to Zheng Yuanfeng, the King of the North. "Your mother and son may not be the princess's opponent if they work together, let alone Your Majesty!
In our country of Daxia, the strong are respected, and the ancient clan of the Emperor of Daxia is the strongest clan in our country of Daxia, so why should we call him the emperor?"
"So you are willing to be a lackey? Zheng Yuanfeng?" He Lin said angrily.
What's going on? Why does the King of the East have such a prejudice against the Emperor of Great Xia! And the King of the North, Zheng Yuanfeng, is die-hardly loyal to the Emperor of Great Xia. Are there such conflicts among the five kings?
"Sure enough, women don't dare to take power," Zheng Yuanfeng glared at her, "women should stay at home to support their husbands and raise children, and stay out of public appearances!"
"Continue," the King of the East stared straight at him, his eyes sharp and bright, like the tip of a sword. "Speak out whatever else you have hidden in your heart."
"I don't want to have a verbal argument with a woman!"
"You want to change the martial arts, right?"
"If you have this idea, I will definitely accompany you to the end."
"Reckless man, shut up! Don't talk to my mother in this tone! If you want to compete, you and I can find an execution ground tomorrow! Don't think that my He family is afraid of you!"
"A mere [Seventh-level Sword Queen Stage]?" Zheng Yuanfeng sneered, "Among the five major families in the Five Realms, excluding those who have not cultivated spiritual energy, you are considered to be the second to last."
As he said that, the King of the North turned his head and looked at Qi Rusong.
"I am the last one! Is that what you mean?" Qi Rushong said, "Perhaps there should be a battle between you and me!"
"[Seventh-level Sword King Early Stage]? Are you worthy of fighting me?"
He actually saw my strength clearly! But my [Soul Eye] couldn't detect him!
What kind of strength does the King of the North have?
For a time, the atmosphere was extremely tense.
"Aha, everyone, please calm down, calm down!" came an old voice, "You are all trying to save me, old man Wen, so please stop saying a few words. Ha, please stop saying a few words!"
