Chapter 391: Lush Reeds (Part 2)
Chu and Song are adjacent to each other. Although they have been on good terms for hundreds of years, this is the first time that the two kings have met.
Ling Fei entrusted Xiao En to his cousin Ling Zi in another black awning boat, and then returned to the boat where King Liu Jing of Song Dynasty was.
King Chu Lin Ying said to Ling Fei: "Master Ling knows that I am an ordinary person who does not understand martial arts and cannot compare to your incomparable King Song. How come I come uninvited?"
Ling Fei looked at the boatman who had brought King Chu here and said, "Although King Chu does not know martial arts, the boatman who came with you must be very skilled in martial arts. Ling is a close bodyguard of our Highness, and he should fulfill his duties."
Lin Ying smiled and said nothing, only listening to Liu Jing say: "This is our ship from the Song Dynasty. The one who came uninvited should be the King of Chu."
Lin Ying's lips curved: "According to what you said, this is the territory of our Chu Kingdom. The one who came here uninvited should be you, the King of Song."
Liu Jing saw that Lin Ying was as fond of chattering and bickering as before, but she felt familiar in vain, which made him feel a little sad. Back then, she first met her at the Pingliang Chamber of Commerce in Zhao State, and two young men pretending to be commoners were drinking and fighting in the Zhao Palace Garden.
Qin... At that time, Liu Jing admired the talents of Shu'er and Lin Ying and wanted to recruit them to serve the Song Dynasty. Unexpectedly, today they would meet again in the reed marsh densely populated by the Song and Chu armies.
The most noble identity, with the most difficult misunderstanding.
Liu Jing swept away the cold expression that had always been above the crowd, lowered her eyebrows and sighed: "I'm here to see Shu'er. What are you doing here? You know very well that I will not hurt them, mother and daughter."
Lin Ying raised her eyebrows: "It is true that you will not hurt them two immediately, because in the next step, you will use them as hostages and ask me and Young Master to release nearly a thousand Song army prisoners in Anyi City. In this way, in
In the eyes of the people of Song Dynasty, you will become the impeccable King of Song Dynasty who puts aside personal feelings and upholds righteousness. In the eyes of the people of the world, you will be even more radiant. You will be the best candidate to unify the country. You said I won't invite you.
Jilai, what on earth are you here for?"
Liu Jing said disdainfully: "What do nearly a thousand Song troops mean? What do the people of the world mean? What do they mean by unifying all the countries? If I really thought about that, why would I take the risk of coming here?"
Lin Ying smiled: "Since you said that, then I will go back and order the killing of the Song army prisoners in Anyi City. If they are dead, I will let Shu'er come to see you again."
Liu Jing looked directly at Lin Ying: "You don't know how."
Lin Ying said: "What don't I know? I can't kill prisoners, or I can't let Shu'er come to see you?"
Liu Jing said: "You will not kill the prisoners, so you will not let me see Shu'er after killing the prisoners. Although I don't know how much weight the unification of the countries has in your heart, and I don't know how to be a satisfactory Chu."
Whether the king is important to you, but I know that you will not accuse the Chu State of indiscriminately killing unarmed prisoners of war, which can never be cleared away.
I just want to see Shu'er during this trip. There are some things I want to say to her personally. I don't know how many of the letters I wrote to her you have intercepted or read, and I don't want to pursue them. I risk my death.
When I come to Linjiang, I always have my sincerity. If you still don't believe it, it's a big deal. I will give you a piece of imperial edict for those Song Dynasty cities that Young Master Sui wants to take."
Lin Ying shook her head: "You have short hands and a soft mouth to eat people. Young Master Zuin's military exploits were not obtained with his sister. Also, why do I, the majestic King of Chu, bother to read other people's private messages? Your words
, even if you write a letter of credence to me, I may not open it and read it. What’s more, those dirty little thoughts of yours? Are you afraid of staining my photographic eyes? "
Ling Fei said angrily: "How can the King of Chu speak so rudely as a market boy?"
Lin Ying didn't even look at Ling Fei: "Since King Song wants something from me, I can talk to him however I like. Even if I am a street boy, he still has to listen to me."
Liu Jing looked at Lin Ying silently, sighing in her heart, the street boy still has a name and place of origin, but who I am, I am afraid it will be difficult to get the answer in this life. Compared with Lin Ying, who has a distinguished life experience, I am just a nobody. In the past, he never
He didn't put Lin Ying in his eyes, but at this moment, he felt a little awe for the King of Chu in front of him, not only because he asked for help from the King of Chu, but also not just because of the status of the King of Chu. Thinking about this kind of awe, more
It was because of the fearless and awe-inspiring look in Lin Ying's eyebrows, even with a smile, with ridicule, with disdain for the King of Song and the entire Song Dynasty, as if the King of Chu already knew that he was a fake King of Song and a humble person.
To people who don’t even have a family name.
Seeing that Liu Jing was uncharacteristically silent, Ling Fei immediately drew his sword out of its sheath and said to Lin Ying: "You are rude, so don't blame me for hurting you with my sword!"
Lin Yingli ignored Ling Fei, looked at Liu Jing with a smile, and said: "You won't hurt me. If you are as smart as you, would you make the same mistake a second time? What's more, this time, you are already trapped in Chu
Surrounded by layers of troops."
Liu Jing stepped in front of Ling Fei and looked sadly at the red sky that lit up the reed marsh.
He really didn't dare to hurt Lin Ying. Before this trip, he really just wanted to see Shu'er and talk to her about what was in his heart.
He knew that the person who grew up with Shu'er was not him, but Lin Ying. It was Lin Ying who accompanied Shu'er from Chu State to Chen State, and then accompanied Shu'er to run for a living in Chen State. Shu'er worked for Zhuge
She remained a widow calmly, and it was Lin Ying who stayed with her all the time, arranging for her a place in Chu that seemed to be at the center of the storm but was actually the safest, because Lin Ying was by her side.
He knew that Lin Ying was the closest and most trusted person in Shu'er's heart. Therefore, he dared to kill Zhuge Rongrong, who was superb in martial arts, but he did not dare to kill Lin Ying, who had no strength to tie a chicken.
He knew that the King of Song who dared to compete with the King of Qi no longer wanted to be the King of Song. He who sacrificed his true love for the Song Kingdom now no longer cares about this chaotic world. If the King of Chu wants it, give it to him.
What about the king? Whether it’s prisoners or cities, whatever the king of Chu wants, just take them. Why bother talking nonsense here?
Liu Jing's tone was indifferent: "The King of Chu has come here in danger. If he only wants to humiliate me, he can leave. Please help me tell Shu'er that I will wait for her here and see you there."
Lin Ying took a step closer, looked directly at Liu Jing and said, "If you really want to see Shu'er sincerely, why did you kidnap her daughter? Is this an invitation or a threat? Do you really care about Shu'er's joys and sorrows?
Have you considered it? You are just a selfish scoundrel, what qualifications do you have to tangle with her?
I came here just to tell you personally, to return my little favor, and maybe we can still take care of our old friendship and let you, a rat, get out of the Chu Kingdom as soon as possible."
Ling Fei was furious: "Don't be so presumptuous!" He immediately drew his sword and pointed it at the King of Chu.
Liu Jing stretched out her hand and gently held Ling Fei's sword, and sighed: "I didn't kidnap Xiao En. On the day of Young Master Sui's wedding banquet, I sneaked into the Chu Palace late at night in the name of asking for a wedding drink. I just wanted to go see him.
Look at Shu'er and talk to her. When I finally found her residence, she was already drunk and unconscious. I sat in Shu'er's room for a long time. Before Shu'er woke up, Xiao En
Suddenly she woke up and said she was hungry. I had given the sweat medicine to all the people in the palace of Ke Shu'er. No one went to get food for Xiao En, so I went. She pulled me to talk while she was eating.
I told her that I was the King of Song, but she didn't believe it and insisted on me proving it to her before I took her out of the palace. I also promised her that during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the three of us would enjoy the moon together and have a meal together."
Lin Ying sneered: "A family of three? Wishful thinking. You killed Xiao En's biological father, and you still think that Xiao En will recognize a thief and become a father? Shu'er will never forgive you in his life, and neither will Xiao En."
Lin Ying's words pierced her heart. Liu Jing clenched her fists, and Ling Fei's sword edge was stained with blood in Liu Jing's palm.
Ling Fei said: "Your Highness..." Liu Jingfang felt pain in the palm of her hand, let go of her hand, and grabbed Lin Ying's dark clothes with her blood-stained hand.
The gold thread on the dark skirt was stained with blood.
Liu Jing stared at Lin Ying closely, holding back her anger, and whispered: "Don't think I don't know! You are the mastermind behind the death of King Qi and King Wei! It was you who sent people to come to me with advice, and it was you who sent people to kill them.
The one who suggested the plan, it was you who sent someone to tell King Wei everything. King Wei knew that King Qi had fallen into the trap, so he risked his life to save him! It was you who blamed everything on me!"
Lin Ying was held up by Liu Jing's skirt, almost touching the ground with her toes, but she suddenly burst out laughing: "Liu Jing, Liu Jing, even though I am knowledgeable, I have never heard of such a shameless king like you! What happened at Peerless Peak,
The battle on Dingshan was not only witnessed by so many soldiers from Song, Qi, and Shu, but even the Rong tribe outside the pass witnessed it with their own eyes! Who killed Qi Wang Liu Rong and Wei Wang Jiang Ji? Didn't they?
