Chapter 460 Let Qingyan take a concubine
Wei Qingyan was speechless for a moment.
Then Emperor Pu said, "If they can't succeed, it's because my lucky star doesn't like your brother.
I don't say that I am talking about him like a fool. If your Great Wei doesn't have a better marriage candidate, I might not look down on him.
I've strayed off topic. Ultimately, the princess still hasn't shown the sincerity to earn my trust."
Wei Qingyan pursed his lips slightly, "You can only trust me. Chi Lie is a bloodthirsty person. You must have heard about their massacre of Feng Zhao and other cities.
During these years of recuperation, Chi Lie had already developed huge ambitions.
Even if your Pu State helped them conquer the world, how could he tolerate your small Pu State coexisting with him outside the world?
When you serve a tiger, you should know that the tiger's desire is insatiable. When he conquers more territory and no longer worries about food, the fertile land of your Pu country will be dispensable to them.
By then, you will no longer have the confidence to fight to the death, and will become just fish on his chopping board."
Emperor Pu snorted coldly, "According to what you said, even you are optimistic that Chi Lie can conquer the world, right?"
Wei Qingyan smiled, his eyes dark, "No, that was just a pre-set prediction of the fate of your Pu State based on the character of the Chilie people. The Chilie people will never achieve anything.
Another assumption is that if Chi Lie dies, the Pu State that colluded with them will perish before them, because I will never allow anyone to aid and abet the evil.
Also, the young man you look down upon is the one who killed Emperor Chilie and Prince Chilie and blew up the Chilie Palace overnight.
If my brother wants the heads of the Chilie garrison, it will only take a moment."
Emperor Pu was shocked.
It was actually him who did it.
Yes.
He looks similar to Wei Qingyan, and the world does not know that the eldest son of the Emperor of Wei is still alive, so it is very likely that they will confuse the two of them.
Then, he said angrily, "You are threatening me."
That idiot could kill Emperor Chilie and his son, and he could also kill his Pu State father and his son.
Wei Qingyan was calm, "It's okay for you to think so. I always like to use courtesy before force.
I have already paid my dues. If you insist on forcing a marriage, or if you still choose to cooperate with Chi Lie, then I will be the one to train my muscles in the National Defense Army."
After a pause, she continued, "By the way, I wonder if your water boat hidden under the sea can withstand the explosion?
Thinking this way, I am really eager to try it."
"That's too much, that's too much, you're really going too far."
Emperor Pu's eyes widened and he stood up angrily, "You are too arrogant. How did you know this?"
Since its founding, Pu State has been targeted by big powers due to its weak national strength. Therefore, while strengthening the country, it has been studying various ways to guard against other countries and escape.
The water boat was developed by their royal family after more than a hundred years. It is a ship that can carry people and dive underwater, and it has been continuously improved over the years.
This is a secret known to no one except the royal family. How did Wei Qingyan know it?
Wei Qingyan smiled slowly, "The secret cannot be revealed, you just need to tell me whether you want to cooperate with me.
If you agree, our National Protection Army will begin to encircle and suppress the Chilie Army tomorrow. If you disagree, then we can only fight."
She knew about the Pu State water boats because the fat monk had once resolved a grudge involving the craftsmen who were involved in making the water boats.
The fat monk had quietly dived into the deep sea and seen the water boat with his own eyes, and then told her and her mother about it with great interest.
This aroused her and her mother's curiosity, and they also wanted to go and take a look, but were stopped by the fat monk.
The water boat was the escape route prepared by the Pu royal family and was the royal family's biggest secret. If they found out that their secret was known by the three of them, they would most likely kill them to silence them.
At that time, none of them wanted to get themselves into trouble because of their curiosity.
But today, she revealed the secret as the Crown Princess of Wei and Princess Feng Zhao, which was a deterrent to the State of Pu.
“You…you…”
Emperor Pu raised his hand, his fingertips trembling, but he couldn't utter a complete sentence.
This female bandit didn't give him any choice at all.
Why are other people’s children so outstanding?
His useless sons haven't shown up yet.
The other four princes he was talking about were rushing over. As soon as they arrived outside the hall, they sneezed several times.
But they no longer cared about these things, because they saw their little sister came back and was standing outside the temple.
"Xing'er, why are you standing outside?" asked the eldest prince.
The second prince continued, "Yes, during the days you were away, your father missed you so much that he lost his appetite."
"Father will be so happy to know that you are back." The third prince echoed.
"Come on, Xing'er, let's go see Father."
The Fourth Prince took Xing'er's hand and exclaimed, "Fifth Prince, you're here too. Why didn't you say anything?"
"squeak."
The fifth prince has lost all hope in life. Why is it that every time he is with Xing'er, his brothers always ignore him completely?
"Who are you?"
Finally someone noticed Abu standing nearby.
"He is my savior."
Xing'er didn't want her brothers to embarrass Abu, so she spoke up quickly.
“Lifesaver?
What’s wrong with you?
Did anyone bully you? "
"Someone bullied you?
Tell Third Brother that he will help you beat him up."
"If you dare to bully my little sister, I will throw him into the sea to feed the turtles."
"Xing'er, don't cry. Speak up. Tell us who bullied you. We'll stand up for you..."
"You idiots, get out of here!"
A roar came from inside the hall, interrupting the chattering of several princes.
The fifth prince winked at them, blinking so hard that his eyelids almost cramped, but no one paid any attention to him.
Now that’s good, let’s all go in and get scolded.
After Xing'er escaped from her marriage, Emperor Pu was furious. After the fifth prince took on the task of secretly protecting his sister, the other four sons were expelled from the palace by Emperor Pu, so that he would be out of sight and out of mind.
Therefore, these four princes have been either at the seaside or on the seabed improving their water boats recently, and they don’t know that Xing’er was brought back by Abu and the others.
After learning how Xing'er came back and knowing the identities of Wei Qingyan and Abu, the four princes were furious again.
Some said they wanted to challenge Abu to a duel, some said Dawei didn't want to marry and his sister wasn't married yet, and some said Xing'er wouldn't marry anyone.
Emperor Pu knew very well that the reason why Xing'er was told not to marry was because he was planning to secretly send her away in a water boat.
Looking at his son's smug look, Emperor Pu felt very tired. His family's secrets had already been known to him.
But the fools in his family are still feeling proud of themselves.
What's the point of having a son? What's the point?
No, what's the point of having a daughter? A little misunderstanding caused her and her old father to become estranged.
The extremely handsome Emperor Pu did something that was completely inconsistent with his appearance. He rolled his eyes and pinched his philtrum.
"Shut up, everyone."
Then he sighed heavily and said to Wei Qingyan, "I agree to cooperate with the princess.
But there are two conditions.
First, I hope that the eldest prince can go and cut off the head of the garrison commander of Chilie immediately.
Second, Princess, choose one of my sons to be your concubine.
As long as these two conditions are met, the food supply for Pu State this year will be allocated by the Princess, provided the people of Pu State are well fed."
The purpose of asking for the head of General Chilie was to test the strength of Wei. The marriage would not only consolidate the relationship between the two sides, but also let other countries that wanted to attack Pu State see that Pu State had Wei behind it.
Since Wei Qingyan is reluctant to sacrifice her brother's marriage, then she can do it herself. After all, she is the crown princess, and there cannot be only one emperor in the harem.
It just so happened that he had many sons but only one daughter, and Da Wei didn't want her, but he was reluctant to marry her off.
As for his sons, he has several of them, and men are strong, so he doesn't worry about them being bullied.
Wei Qingyan and Abu had not expected that Emperor Pu would do this again. This time, Abu spoke before Wei Qingyan, "Although the situation forced me to have physical contact with the princess.
But what happened has happened, and Abu, a man of honor, will not shirk his responsibilities. I am willing to marry Princess Xing'er."
He knew that his elder sister did not want to use his marriage as a bargaining chip, but he was the one who caused the trouble, so how could he hide behind his elder sister? He knew very well that his elder sister would never take a concubine.
He didn't want to force Xing'er, so he said to her, "Princess, you can follow your heart to choose whether to agree or not. Sister and I will respect your choice.
I will go and complete His Majesty Pu's first condition, and you can reply to me when I return."
