Wei Qingyan disguised herself as a man since childhood, defended the empire, and expanded its territory, but died on her triumphant return. Revived from death, she became a soul guide, resolving gr...
Chapter 461: Deterrence
"Don't go, it's dangerous."
Xing'er said anxiously.
The Chilie Army, which makes my father feel fearful, is definitely not a mob, and their leader cannot be killed so easily.
If he really wants to go, he can't go alone.
"Father, you are being unreasonable."
She tried to speak for Abu.
Emperor Pu glared at his daughter and said, "Stop arguing. Adults are discussing state affairs, children should not interrupt."
The wedding hasn't even started yet, and they're already protecting it.
Wei Qingyan boasted that he could kill the leader of Chilie. His sister was not worried, so why should she be so anxious?
Before Xing'er could speak again, he said to Abu, "I'm waiting for your good news."
Abu nodded, and seeing Xing'er's anxious expression, he said, "Don't worry."
Then he looked at Wei Qingyan, "Sister..."
I want to handle this matter myself. Please wait for me to come back and make a decision.
Wei Qingyan understood what he hadn't said and nodded, "Just do your best, but be careful."
She approached Abu and whispered, "Su Tong has led his men there secretly. There are unique markings of the National Protection Army on the road. If you encounter danger, find them. Sister will wait for you here."
These two words are used here to emphasize the tone.
Abuluo understood after a moment of thought that his sister wanted him to not hide his strength, but to go and come back quickly at the speed of spirit, so as to intimidate Pu State.
After saying "OK", he strode out of the palace, stepped on tiptoe, and used his lightness skills to go all the way to the palace gate.
Everyone only saw that his lightness skills were extremely fast, so fast that people could only see an afterimage, and in the end even the afterimage could not be seen.
The fifth prince followed him out and came back a moment later with a look of shock on his face, "I lost him."
He asked Wei Qingyan, "Please tell me, Princess, what school or sect did the eldest prince learn from?"
Wei Qingyan smiled, "He grew up beside me since he was a child."
"You mean you taught him martial arts?"
Wei Qingyan nodded.
This was not a lie. It was indeed she who taught Abu martial arts, but she could not tell outsiders that Abu had become a spirit.
How is this possible?
The fifth prince demonstrated in front of Wei Qingyan what it meant to have his eyes almost pop out.
According to the information he received, Wei Qingyan was indeed quite skilled, but not to the point of being unfathomable.
The eldest prince's swift martial arts skills, as well as the skills he displayed during the fight in the bamboo forest, made him subconsciously believe that Wei Qingyan had sent him to an invisible sect to learn martial arts.
But Wei Qingyan said that she was the one who taught the eldest prince martial arts.
So……
He was just about to test Wei Qingyan's martial arts, but as soon as he raised his hand, he saw a figure flash before his eyes and Wei Qingyan disappeared.
Gone?!
Then he heard a scream and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw Wei Qingyan standing in front of Emperor Pu.
“You…you…you…”
He began to have deep doubts about the news network that he once took pride in.
Emperor Pu also widened his eyes.
If he had just thought that Wei Qingyan was exaggerating, now he had no doubt that these two siblings could really wipe out his Lou family's royal family overnight.
But then he was glad that he had never looked down on Chi Lie, otherwise he would be regarded as a member of Chi Lie's party by the siblings and would really be wiped out.
He has to choose Da Wei.
However, Wei Qingyan seemed to have no interest in the matter of a concubine that he had just mentioned.
He withdrew his eyes, which were as big as copper bells, without leaving a trace and winked at his sons.
I hope they can try their best to behave well in front of Wei Qingyan. Putting aside Xing'er's matter, the princess is the future empress. If a son can enter her harem, the relationship between the two countries will be more secure.
Unfortunately, he forgot that there was never any tacit understanding between him and his son.
To his sons, the look in his eyes meant that their father was in danger and needed them to rescue him.
The Fifth Prince quickly walked to the bottom of the stairs and said, "Princess, please don't threaten my father."
"Yes, let go of my father. We may not be as skilled as you, but even if we brothers risk our lives, you may not be able to escape unscathed."
Emperor Pu glanced at Wei Qingyan, who was standing beside him with his hands hanging down and had not done anything dangerous to him.
I feel so tired.
Fortunately, to his relief, Xing'er was smart this time. She said, "Royal brother, you have misunderstood. The Crown Princess has no intention of coercing Father."
She understood what her father meant, and at this moment she also understood her father's difficulties.
Pu State was too small, and any big country could take advantage of it.
So when Chi Lie specifically asked her to marry, his father did not dare to refuse.
She walked between Wei Qingyan and Emperor Pu and asked, "Father, if the Crown Princess and the others hadn't come, would you really marry your daughter to Chilie?"
Realizing that his daughter had figured it out, Emperor Pu did not hide it in order to avoid further misunderstandings.
He said truthfully, "If you can escape, then escape. If you can't, then it's your life. Father can't ignore the people of Pu State for the sake of his daughter."
A fight to the death is the worst option.
Chi Lie has already sent troops over and agreed to the marriage proposal. If Xing'er escapes under Chi Lie's nose, it will not be the Pu Kingdom's business. Chi Lie himself is also responsible, so no one should blame anyone else.
"Then why did Fifth Brother and the others attack Big Brother Xinglan?"
"That's because he made a move on you. Besides, Father had already guessed that other countries would send people to Pu State.
I let you flee to the border in the hope that you would have other opportunities, but I didn't expect you to be able to escape on your own."
The fifth prince hurriedly explained, "Who knew he would suddenly appear? How could I have thought that the eldest son of the Great Wei Emperor would be alone? I just thought he was a wandering wanderer.
He ruined our plans. Fifth Brother didn't bother him, but he tracked me down first. Fifth Brother must teach him a lesson."
When he found out that he couldn't beat the other person, he was so angry that he really wanted to kill him.
But he would never dare to admit this in front of Wei Qingyan.
Wei Qingyan had promised Abu not to make enemies with the State of Pu easily, so he pretended not to know at this moment. He teleported down the jade steps and found a place to sit down.
After reading this, she had some understanding of the royal family of Pu State.
Emperor Pu was a shrewd and calculating emperor, but due to the weakness of the national strength, he had no control over many things.
The princes are really simple-minded, but they seem to have a very good relationship with each other, which is a kind of harmony that is rare in the royal family.
When Emperor Pu faced his children, he acted more like an ordinary old father than a king, which shows that he was not a cruel emperor.
Moreover, he has the people in his heart. Such an emperor has too many weaknesses. If he is slightly shocked, he will not dare to take risks easily.
This trip to Pu State was smoother than she had originally thought.
I just don't know whether Abu really has feelings for Xing'er, or he is just trying not to embarrass her, or he simply feels that it is his responsibility to marry Xing'er.
This concerns his entire life, I have to have a good talk with him later.
As for the matter of the concubine, she also had to let Abu know. There was no need to worry about it at all. Emperor Pu was just testing her bottom line.
As long as she sternly refused, he didn't dare to force her request again.
"Sister Princess, shall I take you to rest?"
Xing'er's voice interrupted Wei Qingyan's thoughts.
"I heard from my father that the Chilie Army is stationed in the mountains outside the imperial city. Brother Xinglan won't be back so soon."
Wei Qingyan saw that although she had a smile on her round face, she could not hide her worry and guilt, and his liking for the little princess increased.
In fact, even if Emperor Pu did not make this request, they would still go to wipe out the Chilie Army stationed in Pu State.
Therefore, she comforted him, "Abu won't keep us waiting too long."
