Chapter 1158 Wishful Thinking
When Luo Qinghan came back, Xiao Xixi was already in the room.
She smiled and said, "I asked someone to prepare a midnight snack, let's eat together."
Luo Qinghan sat down opposite her, and immediately a maid came in with a bowl of hot fish porridge. In addition to the porridge, there were also several dishes of stir-fried vegetables, both meat and vegetables, which looked quite delicious.
Xiao Xixi picked up the bowl, took a sip of the hot fish porridge, and curved her eyes in satisfaction.
She suddenly heard Luo Qinghan ask.
"Did you go to see Yu Jiu just now?"
Xiao Xixi paused.
She didn't expect Luo Qinghan to be so well-informed, so she nodded in acknowledgement.
"Yeah, I talked to him for a while."
She didn't think there was anything shameful about what she talked about with Yu Jiu, so she told him the whole content of their conversation openly.
Luo Qinghan asked as he skillfully picked out the fish fillets and put them into Xixi's bowl.
"Why did you think of using Gu King to bite Yu Jiu?"
Xiao Xixi explained while eating.
“In addition to being extremely poisonous, the Gu King also has another powerful ability, which is that it can mark others.
It did not use its fangs when it bit Yu Jiu, but it left a mark on Yu Jiu's body.
From now on, no matter where Yu Jiu is, I will know.
If he wants to harm me, I can make him bleed to death immediately."
Luo Qinghan put down his chopsticks and looked at her deeply.
"You want to let him go?"
The reason why she specifically let the Gu King bite Yu Jiu was simply because she wanted to let him go.
Xiao Xixi knew that the man in front of her was very sensitive. If she couldn't give him a satisfactory answer today, his jealousy would drown her alive.
So she also put down her bowl and chopsticks and spoke seriously.
"I know you want to use Yu Jiu as a hostage and force his father to pay a ransom.
I have already calculated your fortune, and the fortune shows that the success rate of this matter is basically zero.
In other words, not only will you not get the ransom, but you may also cause disputes between the two countries.
I know that with Dasheng's strength, it will not be afraid of going to war with the Western Regions.
But if you can avoid war, then don't fight.
Dasheng has not had peace in the past few years. First, there were the rebellions of King Xiling and Qin Zhong, then the rebellion of King You, then the war with the Liao Kingdom, plus the civil war in Nanyue, and the invasion of Wanhai City by the Thousand Islands...
The fighting almost never stopped.
Da Sheng cannot go on like this. War has placed too heavy a burden on the court and the people, and it will also have a very bad impact on your reputation.
I think unless it involves principled issues such as territory, it is best not to go to war with other countries in the short term.
This will be beneficial to you, the court, and the people."
She was thinking completely from Luo Qinghan's perspective, and everything was based on him, which made him feel very happy, and the jealousy that was brewing in his heart was blown away.
Luo Qinghan thought about it seriously: "You mean, just let Yu Jiu go like this?"
Xiao Xixi: "You have already severed his tendons in his hands and feet, and pierced his collar bone. I think this lesson is enough. In addition, with the mark left by the Gu King on his body, unless he is tired of living, he should not dare to provoke us again."
Luo Qinghan: "But I want a BMW from the Western Regions."
There is no man who doesn't love horses, and Emperor Dasheng is no exception.
Xiao Xixi puffed out her chest and said confidently, "Yu Jiu has promised to send us 2,000 Western Region BMWs. If he dares to break his promise, I will kill him."
Luo Qinghan's mouth curled up slightly: "Xixi is really amazing."
Xiao Xixi smiled, revealing her small white teeth: "It's OK, it's OK, just average."
Luo Qinghan passed down the order to release Yu Jiu and the people he brought with him.
When Yu Jiu woke up, he was already on his way leaving Nanyue.
At the moment he fainted, he thought he had been poisoned to death by the Gu King. He couldn't help feeling disappointed and angry. He felt that Xixi had deceived him and that he had trusted her so much.
Now that he had woken up, he found that apart from a red mark on the back of his hand, there was nothing unusual.
He couldn't help but feel a little confused and didn't understand what was going on.
Tu Ling explained, "It was the Emperor of Dasheng who ordered us to be released. He said that the Gu King had left a mark on your body. As long as the Queen of Nanyue wants, she can take your life at any time. You'd better think twice before making a decision in the future. In addition, he also asked someone to pass on a message to you."
Yu Jiu couldn't move and could only be carried forward.
He turned to look at Tu Ling and asked with a frown.
"What?"
Tu Ling's expression was a little strange, as if he didn't dare to say it, but couldn't help but say it.
He said with a stiff upper lip: "The Emperor of Dasheng said, stop dreaming, you are not worthy of her."
Yu Jiu: “…”
His expression instantly dropped.
It was a long time before he spoke again, his voice a little hoarse.
"What about Queen Nanyue? Did she send someone to tell me?"
Tu Ling said awkwardly: "No."
Yu Jiu continued to ask, "Not even a single word?"
Tu Ling shook his head, and couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for the young master.
It is obvious that the young master is also a handsome man, and he is better than many people in terms of both intelligence and status.
Unfortunately, his opponent was Emperor Dasheng.
That person's appearance, intelligence, and status are all top-notch, and capable people can surpass them.
Unless the young master is reincarnated, he will never be able to snatch the person away from the Emperor of Dasheng in this lifetime.
This also means that the young master's relationship is destined to be nothing more than wishful thinking.
Yu Jiu looked down at his right hand.
He didn't look at the red mark on the back of his hand, but stared at a tooth mark on his wrist.
That was the wound caused by her biting him hard when he held Xixi tightly and refused to let go.
The wound has long since healed, but the scar remains on his wrist forever.
In the end, all that was left of his and her intersection was a faint scar.
Yu Jiu raised the corner of his mouth and laughed at himself.
"Yeah, I'm not worthy of her."
Tu Ling knew the temper of his young master. He hated other people's sympathy the most and even sneered at other people's comfort.
So Tu Ling tactfully did not say any words of comfort, but asked honestly.
"Are we going back to the West now?"
Yu Jiu responded softly: "Yeah."
He had left the Western Regions in great glory with a large number of troops, but now he had to return in such an embarrassing situation. The princess and her four children would definitely take this opportunity to mock and suppress him.
Thinking of those people's malicious faces, the smile on Yu Jiu's face deepened.
He felt suffocated because he couldn't get the love he wanted, but he was never the kind of person who would compromise.
Since you are angry, you naturally want to find a way to vent it. Otherwise, how uncomfortable would it be to keep it in your heart?
Those guys who are not afraid of death are just a good opportunity for him to vent his inner frustration.
