"Qin Yuan is only relying on his status as the eldest grandson of the Great Qin Emperor to qualify for Qing Luan's hand in marriage," Amur continued. "You may seem noble in Great Chu, but everyone knows there's something fishy about your bloodline. Sooner or later, it will be exposed. By then, you'll be nothing. How can you possibly compete with Qin Yuan?"
Chu Hong narrowed his eyes, his drunkenness fading away: "What do you want to say?"
"I want to say that if you stay in Da Chu, you won't have a chance at all."
Amur looked at him with sharp eyes.
"Why don't you come back to the Western Region with me? I am the King of the Western Region, and you are my son. Once you arrive in the Western Region, you will be the prince. Together we will strengthen the Western Region. When we have a strong army and strong horses, we can directly snatch Chu Qingluan away, and no one will be able to stop us!"
Chu Hong's breathing stagnated, and then he slammed the table in anger: "Ridiculous! What do you think she is? Someone to be snatched away by anyone?"
Amur slowly poured another glass of wine and said in a bewitching tone: "With power in hand, you can force any beauty in the world to your will."
Chu Hong stared at him, a complicated light flashing in his eyes.
"I think you've had too much to drink."
"She's the princess of Great Chu. You can't just snatch her away. Even if you manage to take her back to the Western Regions, what will happen then? Great Chu and Great Qin won't let you go. The Western Regions will be plunged into war. Can you afford the consequences?"
He paused, his tone sarcastic.
"Besides, with your limited ability, you still want to expand the Western Regions? Don't dream."
The smile on Amur's face disappeared, and his eyes turned cold. "I overestimate my abilities? It's better than you sitting here drinking away your sorrows, unable to do anything. Chu Hong, I can see the resentment and resentment in your heart. Are you really willing to give up like this?"
Chu Hong paused.
Of course he was unwilling to accept this.
That's why I came here.
But right now, what else can he do except wait for news from Xie Yunqi?
Chu Hong was silent for a moment, then drank the wine in the glass. "Don't worry about my affairs. You should take care of yourself first. Don't let the Western Region be gone by then and you still don't know what will happen."
Amur's eyes suddenly narrowed and he looked at him with narrowed eyes.
"What do you mean by that?"
What do you mean the Western Regions are gone?
Chu Hong paused and looked back at him.
There seemed to be a hint of pity in that look.
"Amur, you dared to come here without even finding out about the core figures of the Great Chu. Should I call you stupid? Or should I call you naive?"
After saying this, Chu Hong staggered out of the private room with unsteady steps.
In the box, Amur repeatedly savored Chu Hong's words.
The core figure of Da Chu...
The core character...
Suddenly, a light bulb went off in his head, and a name quickly popped up in his mind -
Thank you Yunqi!
The next second, Amur's pupils suddenly dilated tenfold, he stood up suddenly, his breathing became rapid, and his heartbeat quickened.
Damn it!
How could he forget such an important person!
"Batu!"
Outside the door, Batu hurried into the room after hearing the order, "Your Majesty?"
"Get ready quickly, pack up overnight, and return to the Western Regions!" Amur ordered anxiously.
Batu was a little confused, "But Your Majesty, didn't you say you wanted to see Concubine Jiang again?"
“It’s too late…”
Amur looked towards the western grasslands, his amber eyes filled with anxiety.
——
Meanwhile, on the western border.
The west wind swept up sand and gravel, occasionally blowing on the flags outside the military camp. A setting sun hung on the mountains in the distance, dyeing the entire Gobi desert dark red.
Inside the commander's tent, the lights were dim and Xie Yunqi was checking the map in his hand. At this moment, the footsteps of a soldier came closer.
"Report—"
"Sir, there is an urgent letter from the capital!"
Xie Yunqi stood up, took the letter from the soldier who brought the message, and waved his hand to send the soldier away.
However, when he saw the contents of the letter clearly, his dark pupils suddenly shrank and the calmness on his face suddenly shattered.
This was exactly what Chen Chi saw when he lifted the curtain.
As far as he could remember, he had never seen his brother behave so mischievously.
"Brother! What happened?"
In a hurry, Shen Chi forgot the rules of the military camp and directly called Xie Yunqi "brother".
That’s right, Chen Chi is the previous Xie Yunzheng.
Because he was framed by the second branch of the Xie family and seized people's land, he was exiled. Later, he changed his appearance and joined the western military camp. Now he is a major general here and has become a little famous.
Xie Yunqi didn't say anything, but handed the letter to Shen Chi.
Chen Chi took it and quickly read the contents. In an instant, his face turned pale.
"Brother!?"
This letter was sent by Prince Rui Chu Hong. It simply explained that after failing to get his former love back, the Western Regions King Amur had set his sights on Princess Zhaoyang, forcing the court to choose between the two, or else he would ally with the State of Chen to send troops.
Pei Yuan, who had already fallen off the cliff, unexpectedly "resurrected" that day as the eldest grandson of the Qin Emperor. Not only did he reveal the truth of faking his death to seize power in the Golden Palace, he also offered a betrothal gift of three cities and 100,000 grains of food to marry Princess Zhaoyang.
this……
A deep worry welled up in Shen Chi’s heart.
He was well aware of his brother's feelings for Princess Zhaoyang.
But I didn't expect that my brother was here fighting for Da Chu and guarding the gate tightly, but someone was trying to steal his girlfriend behind his back.
If the princess really agreed under pressure.
He was afraid that his brother would go crazy!
"Oh!"
After a long time, Xie Yunyun let out a very light laugh, and there seemed to be ice chips in the laugh, which made Chen Chi shiver uncontrollably.
