Chapter 211 If You Are Afraid, You Are Not Worthy of Looking Up at the Peak Dragon Throne
"Could it be that the warrior is you, and that's why you're coughing like this?"
Di Jiang was instantly confused when his heart was touched. He clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves, and his right index finger kept rubbing the wooden ring on his thumb.
He often fiddled with the wooden ring while thinking.
Now, the wooden ring has become smooth and shiny after being touched by him.
"Brother Dijiang, why don't you say anything? Have you agreed? You really are that warrior!"
Jiujiu was so frightened that she covered her mouth with both hands and looked at Dijiang meaningfully.
Although Dijiang was in a mess, he remained calm and composed. He straightened up, gently rubbed Jiujiu's head, and said, "Jiujiu, what are you talking about?"
"I just took a sip of tea and choked on it by accident!" Di Jiang pretended to be calm and said, "You, you think too much."
"What's going on in your little head all day long?"
"Really?" Jiujiu was skeptical.
"Of course it's true." Di Jiang said, "Would Brother Di Jiang lie to you?"
"Brother Dijiang has always been good to Jiujiu, so he would naturally not lie to Jiujiu." Jiujiu saw that Dijiang did not seem to be lying, so she did not think about it any more.
Nan Yuanxiang also added, "Brother Dijiang can never be that warrior."
Brother Dijiang only likes reading and practicing martial arts, and doesn't like anything else.
How can I become a warrior?
He's not that boring.
"Even if he is, I won't marry him." She didn't want to marry a scared man.
I dare not imagine the days of being surrounded by fear all day long!
Let’s leave this blessing to others!
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Jiujiu said, "Let's talk about serious matters."
Jiujiu said: "Brother Dijiang, Jiujiu came here today for another matter!"
Dijiang: "You talk, I listen."
"Jiujiu recently heard from the emperor that people from your southern country may come to visit soon."
"The leader is the Crown Prince of the Southern Kingdom."
"The Crown Prince of the Southern Kingdom?"
Emperor Chaoyang?
When Dijiang thought of this person's name, he couldn't help but clench his teeth and clench his fists.
His hatred for this person has penetrated deep into his hair.
There is an irreconcilable hatred between them.
"Yes, Di Chaoyang!" Jiujiu looked at Dijiang with some worry, "I heard that Brother Dijiang and him don't have a good relationship. Jiujiu wants to tell Brother Dijiang that if Jiujiu is by your side, no matter what happens, Jiujiu will protect you."
"But, if Jiujiu is not with you, you should stay away from Di Chaoyang."
"Avoid running into him, because he might cause you trouble and no one will protect you, and you might get hurt."
Jiujiu warned Dijiang seriously.
That kind of serious look is not necessarily seen when studying.
The maids and servants nearby were all stunned.
The princess is so nice to protons!
It's the kind of goodness that is meant sincerely.
When Dijiang met Jiujiu's worried gaze, the hatred in his heart dissipated a little, and he said, "Jiujiu, don't worry about me."
"Then you promise me?"
"Okay, Brother Dijiang promises you." I'll agree to whatever you say, since you are Jiujiu.
"That's good. Jiujiu is leaving."
Jiujiu saw that it was almost time, so she left with Nan Yuanxiang and others.
After Dijiang sent Jiujiu away and returned to the Zhiguan, his face no longer had the gentleness and calmness just now.
He sat in front of the desk, his hands clasped together, not speaking or moving for a long time. He just sat there quietly, his eyes bloodshot.
His biological mother, Concubine Cha, was killed by the Crown Prince and Queen of the Southern Kingdom.
The mother and son were tyrannical and had been committing crimes in the Southern Kingdom's harem for many years. However, they still did not receive the punishment they deserved, and instead lived a life of glory.
And if he guessed correctly, the Prince of the Southern Kingdom came to Western Chu because of the previous defeat and ceding of land and paying compensation.
Given the comprehensive national strength of the South, it is easy to cede territory but difficult to pay compensation.
Even if the huge amount of money was paid in installments, the South Country still could not pay it off given its national strength.
As for the payments made in recent years, they must have borrowed a lot of foreign debt.
It is estimated that it is impossible to borrow money now, and the time to repay the money is approaching, so the Prince of the Southern Kingdom was sent to discuss a strategy to ease the tension.
Chu Yang saw that Di Jiang was worried, so he stepped forward to comfort him: "Your Highness, don't think too much about anything, let's live our lives well."
Di Jiang said: "Chu Yang, is this day finally coming?"
He thought that the time for a face-to-face confrontation with the Prince of the Southern Kingdom would be a few years later, not now.
I didn't expect it to come so soon.
"Yes, I am here." Chu Yang looked at Di Jiang worriedly, "Your Highness, I am worried about you."
"Humph!" Di Jiang snorted disdainfully, showing no fear at all, and said domineeringly: "The way to live is built on the dead end. If I am afraid of the dead end and cannot cross the dead end, then I am not worthy of fighting him, not worthy of having any ambitions, and not worthy of looking up to the top dragon throne."
Not even worthy of wanting to keep her by my side.
Chu Yang sighed. He knew he couldn't persuade His Highness, so he could only support him. He said, "Your Highness, no matter what you do, I will support you."
·
After Di Chaoyang arrived in Xi Chu, the first thing he did was to inquire about Di Jiang's movements.
"...Is Di Jiang dead?" Di Chaoyang asked a eunuch who came from the palace.
He spent a lot of money to bribe this eunuch.
At this moment, the eunuch was dressed in plain clothes and when he didn't speak, he was no different from ordinary civilians and was hiding very deeply.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, he spoke like a eunuch.
He said: "Proton is not dead."
The voice is sharp and thin.
"Not dead?" Di Chaoyang said in astonishment: "He's not dead? How come he's not dead?"
Di Jiang came to Western Chu as a hostage. The people of Western Chu would certainly not treat him well. How could he still be alive?
"The hostage has a very good relationship with the little princess." The eunuch said, "Maybe he got the little princess's blessing!"
"Everyone in the palace knows about this."
"Got the little princess's blessing?"
Emperor Chaoyang also knew the situation of the royal family of Western Chu. For several generations, there had not been a princess.
Now that one has appeared, he will definitely be treated like the apple of his eye.
If the little princess is willing to protect Dijiang, then Dijiang will definitely survive.
"I just don't know what method did this Dijiang use to make the princess protect him?"
Di Chaoyang was full of doubts. He asked people to investigate the matter, but they found nothing.
He had no choice but to stop and check another more important matter first.
What's the matter?
This is the daily movement of Dijiang.
This time he came to Xichu with only one purpose, to avoid paying off the huge sum of money he owed to Xichu.
Because of the huge amount of money, they in the South Country could not pay it back even in installments, so they could only try various ways to avoid paying it back or reduce the amount.
Killing his southern prince Dijiang and then putting the blame on Western Chu, so that the people of Western Chu would give up or reduce some of the compensation when they were in the wrong, was the best way to avoid paying the debt, and it was also his main purpose to investigate Dijiang's movements.
He had thought of this solution when he came.
If Dijiang is not dead, he will attack Dijiang first.
