() Su Jin and Chao Chao were sitting under the candlelight, discussing in a low voice how to find Ma Han, Zhao Hu and others to escape and return to Weizhou together, when someone pushed the door open.
Su Jin and Wang Chao raised their heads in shock and saw two expressionless Dangxiang warriors wearing armor. Their first reaction was: Oh no, they were betrayed.
Wang Chao stretched out his hand and pulled out the scimitar from his waist, and stood in front of Su Jin. Su Jin sat motionless on the chair. He wanted to move, but he knew that these were all in vain. He dragged his injured leg to try to escape.
It's simply an idiot's dream. Unless you have martial arts skills like Master Lu, you shouldn't even think about it.
"Bold! Put down your sword, the queen is here, don't be rude!" a warrior shouted angrily.
Su Jin was surprised to find that it was the Queen who came here. She didn't need to step forward to take someone. It seemed that there was something else going on, so she said in a deep voice: "The dynasty has resigned, please don't be rude."
A gust of fragrant wind filled the nostrils, and three delicate figures slowly emerged from the darkness outside the door. One of them was covered in jewels and wore a phoenix crown. His face was like a full moon without a single wrinkle, and his phoenix eyes were not angry but powerful. He was a person.
A graceful lady; standing on either side are Yeli Duanyun and Li Ahli...
Su Jin raised his hands and cupped his fists and saluted: "Su Jin is polite. I am injured and can't get up. I hope you can forgive me!"
Yeli glanced at Su Jin with a little surprise in his eyes. Yeli Duanyun told him that this person was the original envoy to Jing of the Song Dynasty and an important minister guarding the border. He thought he was a mature, steady and experienced man, but he didn't expect it to be a
A handsome young man.
"Are you Su Jin?" Yeli's voice was deep and sexy, but at this moment, it sounded sinister.
"You must be Queen Yeli," Su Jin said.
"You all stand down," Yeli said calmly.
The two warriors bowed and turned to go out. Wang Chao hesitated a little. Su Jin nodded slightly, and Wang Chao put away his sword and went out.
"You two also go out, Mr. Su and I will have a few words alone."
"aunt……"
"Queen mother..."
Ye Lishi said majestically: "Go out... there are some words you cannot listen to."
Yeli Duanyun and Li Ahli bowed helplessly and left. Before leaving, Li Ahli gently waved her hand towards Su Jin, her eyes full of worry. Su Jin understood that she wanted to be careful with her words and not to offend this person.
Queen, so she smiled at her to thank her for her kindness.
The door slowly closed, and only Su Jin and Ye Lishi were left in the room. The silence was suffocating, and the candlelight crackled, adding to the feeling of silence.
Ye Lishi slowly sat on a stool and looked at Su Jin intently. Su Jin was stared at by her and couldn't help but look away. He secretly despised himself for not being able to stand the gaze of a woman. He was really worthless.
"You are so brave!" Yelishi finally spoke: "Do you know what kind of punishment you will receive for your behavior in Daxia?"
Su Jin said: "It's just death..."
"Death? You think it's easy. What's so scary about death? Many punishments are more terrifying than death. I think you should dig a hole in your belly and light a sky lantern with your grease. You can't even think about it without suffering for ten days and a half.
Liberation." Yeli's tone was cold and seemed to contain endless hatred.
Su Jin smiled: "Queen, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me to light a sky lantern. I don't have any fat on my body, so I'm afraid I won't be able to light it."
"Thank you for being able to laugh. You can't light the sky lanterns, you still have Ling Chi, you have to cut off a section of your feet every day, and you won't die until it reaches your chest."
You are in more pain than death, but you can never die easily."
Su Jin laughed again: "Why do you need to scare me, Queen? Even if you cut me to pieces, it won't change the fact that your Xia Kingdom's grain and grass were burned and Weizhou was defeated. Besides, the Queen is not here to scare me.
Why should we conduct our conversation in such an intimidating atmosphere? Since I dare to come to Huizhou to act, how can I be intimidated by you?"
Ye Lishi was a little surprised. Sure enough, he had some skills, and he could see that he was not here to get him at all.
"A sharp-tongued person, are you so confident? Do you believe it or not? I immediately ordered someone to take you and escort you to the emperor."
Su Jin raised his hands in surrender and said: "I believe it, of course I believe it. I don't want to annoy the Queen. If the Queen has anything to say, just ask her. I'll tell you everything I know."
Yeli's face turned slightly and he nodded: "You know what's going on. You are so smart. Guess what I want to ask you?"
Su Jin really wanted to say something like teasing others in later generations: Can you guess me or not? But he didn't want to anger the queen. Any woman who can become a queen must be not an ordinary person, and the strife in the harem is not much worse than that in the court.
, maybe he is also a ruthless person.
"I can't guess how I can guess the Queen's thoughts, but I know that Miss Yeli Duanyun must have gone to see the Queen and revealed my whereabouts, and that's why the Queen came to see me."
Ye Lishi sneered: "You are indeed smart, but one thing is wrong. Duan Yun did not say you were here. On the contrary, he tried his best to cover it up for you. It was I who noticed the flaw in her words, so I asked
You are here to recuperate; you are very capable. The search outside is all over the place, but you are enjoying yourself in my Yeli family's house, and you are actually able to seduce two little girls to keep your secret regardless of the safety of Daxia.
You are very capable and very good!"
Yelishi's 'praise' did not make Su Jin feel proud, but gave him goosebumps. Su Jin hurriedly said: "I used a trick to coerce her two into doing it, but they were not willing."
Ye Lishi said: "Duan Yun went to the palace to see me tonight and talked about the doubts about the death of the two kings. How could she, a little girl, analyze so many doubts? Someone must have replaced her in front of her.
He analyzed it, and when I questioned her, I found out that this girl had exposed herself. If not, I would never have seen the true face of you, an expert from the Song Dynasty."
Su Jin suddenly realized that Nori was indeed a shrewd woman. She could detect differences based on this alone. She was worthy of being a harem-trained person, and she was quite sensitive to things outside the conversation and the underlying meaning.
"But...does the Queen think that the following analysis is reasonable? Is the death of the two wild and powerful kings suspicious?"
"That's nonsense. You are completely trying to sow discord. I am here to tell you that all your attempts to sow discord are in vain. Our Yeli tribe will never turn against the emperor, so please stop working."
Su Jin was a little surprised. It stands to reason that Queen Yeli would realize the doubts faster. How could she be more confused than Yeli Duanyun and actually denounce her wrongdoings.
"Mother, what I said is just a guess. Whether you believe it or not, it has nothing to do with me. I don't have to mobilize people within your country, because I'm afraid you are already too busy to take care of yourself. You will be in chaos even if you don't need me to mobilize you.
Why should I be a villain in vain?"
"Are you very proud? I, Daxia, have indeed fallen into trouble. All this is thanks to you. Are you laughing at me in front of me?"
Su Jin said coldly: "What a big joke, thanks to me? It's all your own fault. If you didn't covet the Song Dynasty, why would you be in the situation you are in today? If everything must be done today
If you look for the root cause, it is your own ambition that has led to failure and chaos, and it has nothing to do with others."
The Yeli family said angrily: "It is unreasonable to say that I, Daxia, founded my country in the northwest, why should I be enslaved by your Song Dynasty? Are we Dangxiang people only qualified to be vassals of your Han people from generation to generation? Become a tribe of barbarians in your mouth? Why should you?
We can occupy a fertile and fertile land and settle down, while our party members can only live in the northwest suffering from wind, sand, frost and cold?"
Su Jindao: "I can't answer any of your questions, but I can use your logic to ask you. If the poor people in your party ask you: Why can you have fine clothes, fine food, gold and silver, and a high house?"
They live in the countryside and are served by clouds of servants, but they can only sleep in the open air among cattle and sheep, and when there is a war, they rush to die. How should you answer?"
Ye Lishi said: "You are born like this, so what's there to complain about?"
Su Jin sneered and said: "Your answer is my answer to you. There are many ways to change the status quo. Strengthening trade between the two countries, exchanging what is needed, and working together to learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses is the best way to change. You just chose this
The most stupid way is to use force to conquer, but in the end you shoot yourself in the foot. Who can blame you? There is no absolute fairness in this world. In the hearts of poor people, they are content with just food, clothing and peace of mind. Why are you
Those who are in power are not satisfied and want to invade other people's places. Of course, this kind of behavior must be cracked down ruthlessly. Am I clear enough?"
Yeli's eyes widened, and he was on the verge of breaking out, but suddenly he sighed, the anger on his face disappeared, and he returned to a calm look.
"The matter has come to this. Who is right and who is wrong is not the purpose of my coming here today. I admit that what you said is reasonable, but being reasonable may not be feasible. However, I do appreciate your insight. It is much smarter than many people. Most people are afraid
I have never thought of this in my life."
Su Jin was a little overwhelmed by the woman's violent emotional changes. Such people are the most difficult characters to deal with. They can suddenly hide their anger and regain their composure, but you don't know what they will do next time.
When does the outbreak occur? You need to be careful and walk on thin ice when dealing with such people.
"Thank you for your compliment. Let's just discuss the matter. Don't get angry because of my rudeness. I know that your Majesty is a sensible and intelligent person. There are some things that are inappropriate to talk about at this time. I'd better tell you the real purpose of your visit."
