The situation of King Chu was very embarrassing, and he was even at a loss.
Chen Ping's every word made him think about it for a long time. It seemed that every word had little weight, but when added together, a qualitative change occurred.
No one knew what the King of Chu was thinking. After a long silence, he waved his hands with a gloomy face and ordered the troops to retreat, making way for Nangong Ming and Luo Li.
Chen Ping quickly followed and looked at Nangong Ming with sincere eyes.
Although there are no words, the meaning contained in it couldn't be more obvious.
"Brother Nangong, leave quickly. It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge!"
Nangong clearly understood what Chen Ping meant. Just when he heard Chen Ping's words here, not only did the King of Chu listen to them, but he also listened to them.
The blood in his heart subsided, and he realized how stupid his impulse was. There was still unwillingness in his heart, but his brain was very clear.
He has to go, he must go!
This is what Chen Ping tried his best to achieve. Nangong Ming chose to believe in Chen Ping, believing that Chen Ping would be able to contain or even overthrow the King of Chu after he came to Beijing to assist the government.
Nangong Ming never trusts others easily, even Luo Li, but in Chen Ping, he saw something worthy of his trust.
"Shi Yuanqi, I will avenge Bai Dahai sooner or later!"
After saying these cruel words, Nangong Ming jumped forward and suddenly jumped out under the gaze of hundreds of palace guards. His speed made everyone look at him.
"Hmph! You arrogant guy, no matter how fast you are, can you still escape the powerful crossbow? If it weren't for Mr. Chen's face, I would have ordered thousands of arrows to be nailed to death!"
Not to be outdone, the King of Chu spat fiercely at Nangong Ming's leaving back.
After Nangong Ming started, Luo Li also turned around and left. However, compared to Nangong Ming's escape, Luo Li seemed much slower. He held the sheathed sword in his hand and walked silently past the soldiers.
, as if they were not afraid of these people suddenly rising up.
After the two of them left one after another, Chen Ping finally relaxed and took a long breath and felt relaxed all over.
"Luo Li is much better than that bastard Nangong. Tsk, I didn't expect him to be with you..."
After King Chu murmured, he looked at Chen Ping with a scrutinizing gaze, as if he wanted to dig something out of him.
Chen Ping didn't panic at all. He had already seen that King Chu also had concerns, and there were many.
This is easy to handle. Since you have discovered your weakness, it is only a matter of time before you find a way to control King Chu.
So facing the scrutiny of King Chu, Chen Ping leaned back on his chair very generously, relaxing his body and mind while smiling back.
This made King Chu a little confused. How could Chen Ping act like he was nothing? This king made such a big step forward, but he didn't even say a polite thank you?
"Your Highness, this little incident just now didn't affect Your Highness, right?"
"Hey, you can retreat. I noticed you when they didn't come. Why hide and hide? It loses the majesty of the Chu Palace!"
Chen Ping tilted his head and looked at King Chu, and asked with a smile: "Your Highness, do you think so?"
As soon as he said these words, without waiting for the King of Chu's reply, Chen Ping greeted the officials and celebrities hiding behind the screen tables and chairs, and asked them to sit down again and continue the banquet.
King Chu was dumbfounded. What's going on? Are you the master or am I the master?
That's not all. Chen Ping stretched his neck and shouted to the frightened dancers: "Why are you still standing there? Come here and dance."
"By the way, Your Highness, quickly find someone to pack these things away. A good banquet cannot end in a hurry."
The King of Chu swallowed hard, turned his head irritably and ordered Chang Shi to do as he was told. Then he sat down, picked up the wine glass and sipped the wine while keeping his eyes on Chen Ping.
There is indeed something fishy about this guy!
I definitely don’t believe that he comes from a peasant family! Such ability and state of mind are rare among the children of the official family, let alone the peasant family.
King Chu became upset when he thought that if Chen Ping didn't deal with him and couldn't win over or get rid of him, he would definitely become his trouble in the future.
And what about Chen Ping?
He doesn't care what King Chu is thinking. The chess game has come this far. Can King Chu kill him?
In other words, the King of Chu was determined to wait for Emperor Tianqi to die and lead his troops to "King Qin"?
Or maybe the King of Chu was afraid that the capital might be deceived, so he waited until Emperor Tianqi died before going to the capital to assist the government?
All of the above may have been rejected by Chen Ping one by one, because no one knows whether Emperor Tianqi sent people to other vassals while inviting people to assist the king of Chu.
Moreover, the capital is in the north, only a few hundred miles away from the border. If the King of Chu lingers for the sake of this so-called safety, it is very likely that the Hulu will get there first.
Once the border is lost, it will be extremely disadvantageous for the King of Chu.
He will be criticized by people all over the world, and he will miss the advantage of being the first to enter Beijing. He will even face the danger of the Hulu invasion from the south and the collapse of his country.
This is not what King Chu wants.
He wants power, and it's best to be a fully respected emperor!
Rather than a broken half of the country.
Chen Ping quite recognized this point of the King of Chu. Although he had contact with the Hulu, he did not sign any land-ceding document with the other party in order to gain the support of the Hulu.
Whether it is Emperor Tianqi or the King of Chu, they all have a consensus, that is, no matter how fierce the two brothers fight, it is still a fight between the Shi family royal family.
But once someone lures foreign troops into the Central Plains in order to win, the nature will change.
This consensus is not only among the royal family, but also among people all over the world!
Just because the sixteen counties of Yanyun ceded by Shi Jingtang in the past have always been a dark cloud hanging over the hearts of the people of Dayu. Because of the loss of these dozen key cities, Dayu paid a hundred and a thousand times the price to barely guarantee the security of the border. Since then, the government and the public have despised and despised those who groveled and betrayed the country.
The King of Chu was still guessing about Chen Ping, but he didn't know that Chen Ping had seen through his underwear.
As the debris in the banquet was cleared away, the music sounded again, and dozens of frightened dancers started dancing again.
As for Chen Ping, he has completely let himself go now. He completely treats Prince Chu's Mansion as his own home. While drinking and eating, he does not forget to flirt with Naji.
This image is completely different from the previous one, which makes people suspicious.
But Chen Ping didn't care anymore and risked his life to send a message to the brothers of the Dayuchao Shi family. This job would cost him his life!
Now that the dust has generally settled, can’t you still enjoy it after working so hard for so long?
In the evening of that day, when Chen Ping left the Prince of Chu's Mansion in a carriage, his eyes that were so drunk that they were wandering suddenly returned to their original position.
After taking off his clothes that were full of alcohol, Chen Ping sat in the carriage with his jaw in his mouth and thought about it. After a while, he sighed.
I am sinking deeper and deeper into this quagmire...
