Chapter 483 I invited you to drink tea but you refused
As soon as the King of Wu walked into the front hall, he saw a young man with a handsome face and a holy mark engraved on his forehead. He was carefully wiping a bronze sword, and his expression was quite meaningful as if he was exploring the tenderness of a beautiful woman.
As if he heard footsteps, Luo Qing raised his head and saw a middle-aged man with a big belly walking in, dressed in the clothes of a Han prince.
The two looked at each other.
Luo Qing pointed to the seat next to him and said, "King Wu, please take a seat."
Luo Qing's behavior was extremely rude. If it was normal, the King of Wu would have been furious. But now he felt a little nervous and didn't want to cause trouble, so he sat down at the table, bowed and said, "Sir, your presence has brought honor to my humble country of Wu. I wonder if you have something important to do here that requires my assistance."
Luo Qing slowly wiped the sword with the white cloth in his hand, then gently waved the spotless sword and said, "My king, do you know the origin of this sword?"
The King of Wu was stunned when he heard this and said, "I don't know. Please tell me, sir."
Luo Qing smiled softly and said, “This is the sword that King Zhao of Zhou bestowed upon our family a thousand years ago. There is a story behind this sword.
Please allow Qing to tell the king.
At that time, there was a treacherous minister named Yu who tried to sow discord between the King of Zhou and the State of Luo. So the King of Zhou personally killed him in the main hall of the royal palace, and gave the sword that killed him to his family, which has been passed down to this day.
King Wu, guess whether this sword is sharp?
Can it kill people again after a thousand years?"
Don't do anything wrong, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door.
If ordinary people heard this, it would be nothing, and they would just sigh at the profound background of the Luo family. However, King Wu was guilty, so he naturally heard that Luo Qing was pointing at him.
“Boom boom boom!”
The King of Wu felt his heart beating violently. He tried to comfort himself, thinking that Gongzi Qing must be deceiving him, so he swallowed hard and said with a forced smile: "I saw that you wiped the blade of the sword and it was still shining. It must still be sharp and can kill people."
“Boom!”
Luo Qing placed the bronze sword heavily on the table. His pleasant expression just now disappeared completely, and his face suddenly became as cold as a glacier that had not melted for millions of years. King Wu felt that the speed in the hall had dropped instantly. Although he was in the warm Gusu, he felt like he was in the ice and snow in Liaodong.
Luo Qing said sternly: "Since the king knows that this sword is sharp, why do you still dare to attack our Luo family? Do you think that our Luo family dare not kill people?"
really!
The King of Wu felt dizzy, he didn't expect Luo Qing really came for that matter, he forced himself to suppress the fear from the bottom of his heart and said: "I don't understand what you are talking about.
Besides, you are only the son of Lord Zhao, and you do not hold any title or official position in the Han Dynasty. How dare you treat a vassal king of a superior country like this? I can punish you with just one order."
The political status of the princes was still quite high. In the entire Han court, only a few officials such as the prime minister had a higher status than the princes. There was no clear ranking between Duke Zhao and the princes, but the sons of Duke Zhao were definitely inferior to those of the princes.
Seeing King Wu’s quibbling, Luo Qing laughed sarcastically, “Your Majesty.
"We are here to discuss a great fortune with you. You should be the emperor of this world. We feel sad for you."
Your Majesty, do you know who told Qing this?"
!!!
If what happened just now was a sledgehammer hitting my head, then this time it could definitely be called a meteorite hitting my head.
King Wu never expected that the imperial court and the Luo family had already captured at least one person, otherwise this information, which only a few of them knew, would never have been leaked.
"Mr....Mr."
King Wu was completely speechless. Looking at the distraught King Wu, Luo Qing said coldly: "Do you still have anything to quibble about now?"
quibble?
What else is there to quibble about at this point?
Since Luo Qing could speak the secret words, he must have caught one of the key figures and learned the whole story.
Who knows, maybe the confession has already been sent to Chang'an!
The King of Wu felt like he was trapped in a cold cellar. If this incident happened, he would have no chance of survival, and even his palace would be difficult to survive. This was not even a simple act of treason, but a direct threat to the country.
Liu in Guanzhong, Luo in Guandong.
If the two were to fight, the Han Dynasty would be shaken.
When the King of Wu walked along this road, he thought about what to do if he was exposed?
It was impossible to let him sit and wait for death. He would rather die than live in such pain every day since he could not become an emperor in this life.
He hates everyone.
The only way left is resistance!
Thinking of this, a fierce light flashed in the eyes of the King of Wu, and he shouted loudly: "Prince Qing, it was I who did it.
It was me who instigated the conflict between the Luo family and the emperor in Chang'an. This world should have belonged to me, but because of you, the Luo family and the Lu family, it fell into the hands of Liu Xun.
Is it wrong for me to take back the throne myself?"
Luo Qing was stunned when he heard this, wondering if he had heard something wrong, and then he laughed out loud: "You still think you are not wrong, you still think you have been greatly wronged, and you still think that others have let you down?
With your mentality, are you worthy of being the emperor who rules the world?
Even the wicked emperor Liu Dan is much better than you. At least he knows that he has to fight for everything on his own, and at least he knows that he has to make achievements to secure his position. Unlike a loser like you, you just sit here dreaming all day and enjoy the fruits of others' labor."
Luo Qing felt that he had said all the dirty words in his life today. He never expected that the King of Wu, who always had a good reputation, would be like this.
King Wu was already a little upset after being scolded by Luo Qing, and he couldn't hold back and yelled, "Arrogant!
Young Master Qing, oh Young Master Qing, your biggest mistake is coming to Gusu to question me in person. This is my country. Even if all the brave warriors from Luo State come here, I will not be afraid.
Young Master will surely bring brave warriors with him when he travels. How many of them will there be?
Two hundred or three hundred?
I have thousands of guards outside this mansion, all wearing iron armor. How are you going to deal with them, sir?
My lord, I must think that I am bragging. Do you think that I am one of those princes who are completely suppressed by the prime minister?
Since I dare to do such a thing, is it possible that I am completely unprepared?"
The hall was filled with the sound of King Wu's angry roar, which was a voice that appeared to be fierce but was actually weak. However, as he roared, he realized that Luo Qing was still so calm and not at all panicked.
If Luo Qing is not panicking, then he will be panicking.
Seeing that the King of Wu had finally calmed down, Luo Qing raised his eyelids, yawned, and said casually: "How did you get the reputation of a wise king with a brain like yours?
With your brain, why do you want to follow others and rebel?
You think I would jump into your territory on my own? With your brain, no wonder you ended up like this."
He kept saying "Just the brain you have" on the left and "Just the brain you have" on the right, which made King Wu so angry that he even wanted to rush up and have a 1V1 manly battle with Luo Qing.
But looking at his own pot-bellied body, and then at Luo Qing's slightly thin but muscular physique, and the bronze sword in his hand, he was reluctant to rush forward.
"Thousands of guards?"
"The huge Wu Kingdom?"
"Fully prepared?"
Luo Qing repeated the words of the King of Wu word for word, his words were full of ridicule, and then he suddenly stopped and shouted: "Do you think you can save your life with these things?
If I wasn't going to escort you to Chang'an to be dealt with by the emperor himself, I would have beheaded you right here, who do you think you are?"
The murderous aura in Luo Qing's words and the reflective bronze sword all proved that his words were definitely not meant to scare King Wu, but came from his heart.
Because of the King of Wu in front of them, their family was almost on the verge of a complete confrontation with Liu Han's royal family. If it really came to that, the damage caused would be even greater than using the magic weapon today.
How could Luo Qing not be angry when facing the culprit of everything?
Luo Qing was able to tolerate not killing him on the spot.
"kill!"
When the King of Wu was trembling with fear at the murderous aura of Luo Qing, there was a sound of fighting and killing outside the palace. The King of Wu was immediately excited and laughed: "Mr. Qing, I thought you had made some arrangements, but I didn't expect that you were actually deceiving me.
The troops outside the palace are mine. If you kneel down and surrender now, I can spare your life."
Luo Qing was too lazy to even say anything. King Wu might have a problem with his brain. This was his home court, and King Wu actually said these words in his home court. If he met someone with a bad temper, he would just chop him with a sword.
People really cannot fall into extreme joy or extreme sorrow. Once they fall into them, their IQ will drop rapidly and they will become a different person.
Luo Qing just waved his hand, and a team of warriors holding swords and axes came out from both sides. With a few axes, they hacked the guards brought by King Wu to death, and blood flowed all over the hall.
King Wu watched helplessly as the guards he brought with him were hacked to death, and then he woke up as if from a dream and realized that he was in Luo Qing's house.
"Young Master Qing, there are my troops outside the palace now. If you hurt me, they will not let you go. Why don't we both take a step back? You let me go, and then you leave Gusu. I will never pursue you."
Luo Qing ignored him and drank his tea.
The noise outside the mansion lasted for a long time, but no one rushed in to rescue him as King Wu had expected. His face became paler and paler, and he knew that something must have gone wrong outside the mansion.
“Crunch.”
The door of the mansion was finally opened. King Wu looked outside with his last hope, but what he saw were not familiar faces, but some strangers.
Look at the clothes again.
Imperial Guards!
Tingwei!
The King of Wu collapsed to the ground, smelling like urine. It was all over.
Luo Qing took a sip of tea and shook his head, saying, "King Wu, I kindly invited you to come over for tea, but you refused to give me face.
Now the tea is cold.”
The tea is cold.
It's not just the tea that's cool.
