Chapter 707 Dancing Princess vs. East Factory Admiral 67
When he forced the emperor to abdicate and rebelled, he had no way to deal with Yan Shu. If he had not threatened the late emperor with the lives of Meng Changxi and several princes, and made him order Yan Shu not to fight back and seek revenge, he would probably not have been able to sit on this golden dragon throne.
He knew that Shen Lang was no ordinary person, but he did not expect that he would be able to kill a ninth-rank master.
As long as Yan Shu is there, the Meng royal family will be there. Now that Yan Shu is gone, Chu Tuo feels very disappointed.
He looked at Wu Feihu standing beside him and asked, "General Wu, where is the cavalry battalion?"
As a well-known national defense team, Chu Tuo remembered this life-saving straw at the critical moment.
Wu Feihu stood not far from Quan Jiu. When he heard Chu Tuo speak, he lost his usual respect and spoke indifferently:
“I don’t know.”
Chu Tuo immediately reacted: "You were bribed by him too?"
Wu Feihu didn't say anything.
To be precise, he was not bribed by Chen Lang, but by Meng Changxi.
Chu Tuo: "General Wu, think it through. Chen Lang is just a eunuch. Even if I give him the throne, he can't guarantee the continuation of the Meng Kingdom's royal family. I know you are dissatisfied with me, but now it is related to the survival of the Meng Kingdom. The cavalry battalion has been loyal to the monarch for generations. If the Meng Kingdom knew that a group of traitors like you had appeared, wouldn't it be chilling?"
Meng Shi is Meng Changxi's third elder brother.
Mentioning the master he once served, Wu Feihu's expression finally changed. He looked at Chu Tuo with eyes that made people's backs cold.
"Speaking of the Third Prince, I have a lot of doubts in my mind. You said that as long as I led the cavalry battalion to pledge allegiance to you, you would spare the Third Prince's life. However, it has been several months since I last saw the Third Prince. Now, I would like to ask, where is the Third Prince being held now?"
Chu Tuo's heart sank, but he remained calm and said:
"As long as you can stop Chen Lang, I will consider you a meritorious defender of the emperor. Then, for your sake, I can return Meng Shi's freedom."
This was something Wu Feihu had been thinking about for a long time, but now when he heard this promise, he did not feel happy at all, but felt even more sad.
"Unless I see the Third Prince with my own eyes, the Cavalry Battalion will not take action."
Having said that, if Chu Tuo wanted to survive, he would tell him the address where Meng Shi was being held, even if he didn't bring the person here. However, Chu Tuo's eyes flickered when he heard this, but he didn't say a word...
Wu Feihu's heart sank to the bottom.
Even though he had a vague premonition before, his face still turned pale when he got the definite answer.
Shen Lang glanced at Wu Feihu, and for Quan Jiu's sake, he asked:
"Are you going to do it or should I?"
"General Wu!" Chu Tuo shouted in a deep voice, "You are an important minister of the Meng Kingdom. You must not listen to slander and make the same mistake over and over again!"
Wu Feihu's mind was full of the news of the Third Prince's death, and he didn't care what Chu Tuo said at all.
"He was the last person to see the Third Prince. I want to have a good chat with him before sending him on his way. Is that okay?"
He wanted to find out whether the Third Prince had been tortured before his death. Did he die in relief, or in despair and pain?
Shen Lang: "I don't want to kill him for the time being."
Wu Feihu: "Thank you."
The other generals at the scene wanted to take action, but they were no match for Wu Feihu. Coupled with Shen Lang's men, Chu Tuo was soon tied to the ground in a mess.
His face was bruised and swollen, and his wedding clothes were stripped off, revealing his underwear.
"Pooh!!"
He spat in the direction of Chen Lang.
"Chen Lang, don't think you've won just like that! Throughout the dynasties, when has there ever been a precedent for a eunuch becoming emperor? Even if I don't take action, you won't be able to hold on to this position. As long as you don't kill me, I will curse you day and night, hoping you'll fall from this position as soon as possible..."
His face was grim as he spoke, but his words really touched the hearts of the ministers.
For the sake of Meng's country and people, even if they were to die in the Golden Palace today, they would never allow a eunuch to ascend the throne!
Shen Lang looked down at the person on the ground, as if he were looking at an ant:
"Your Majesty, please do not worry about the issue of offspring."
He looked past everyone and fixed his gaze on Quan Jiu's belly.
"Maybe after today, I'll have both a son and a daughter."
He really worked hard last night.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone around him changed their expressions.
The corners of Quan Jiu's mouth twitched, not understanding where his bad taste came from.
………
Quan Jiu, wearing his wedding dress, sat in the bridal chamber waiting for half an hour, and suddenly felt a little stupid.
"Why should I wait just because he told me to?"
There was a coup in Kyoto, and Shen Lang suddenly came to power. There were a lot of things waiting for him to deal with. He only had time to talk to her for a while before he was called away by his subordinates.
Before leaving, he specifically asked her to wait for him in the bridal chamber.
Quan Jiu sat for a while, but couldn't hold it in any longer and took off the red veil on her head.
Just as I stuffed a piece of mung bean cake into my mouth, the door was pushed open.
"Your Majesty."
The guard at the door bowed his head.
The next second, Quan Jiu heard a low and hoarse voice:
"Let's retreat."
The doorway returned to silence again, and a pair of black boots stepped in.
Chen Lang knew that she would not be content, but he did not expect that she would be so careless about her image, sitting with her legs crossed while peeling longans.
Quan Jiu spoke first: "Are you done?"
Shen Lang did not respond. He seemed to have drunk quite a bit of wine. He came to her side and suddenly leaned over to hug her. The sudden action scared Quan Jiu.
"What's wrong? Is there a minister giving you trouble? Tell me his name and I'll go and settle the score with him tomorrow."
Shen Lang buried his head in her neck, shook his head, and the smell of alcohol lingered from his thin lips.
"I want to drink. There are some things I can't say without the help of alcohol..."
Quan Jiu turned around in surprise and looked directly into his slightly drunk eyes.
"Long Creek."
His black eyes were frighteningly bright.
Quan Jiu touched his head and said, "Yeah."
Shen Lang pondered for a moment, organizing his words, and then spoke:
“…Actually, I wanted to say it last night, but I didn’t have time.”
Quan Jiu vaguely knew what he wanted to say.
Chen Lang held her bare face in his hands, his heart softening.
"I'm so happy, you're mine."
After knowing that she was Meng Changxi and had been married to Chu Tuo, although he did not say it out loud because he did not want to put pressure on her, Chu Tuo had always been a thorn in his heart.
Thinking that her body and soul once belonged to another man, Chen Lang had no way of suppressing his jealousy. He felt sorry for her for not being able to judge people, and was also angry at Chu Tuo's indifference. But in the end, he actually felt a sense of relief. If Chu Tuo had not let her down, he would not have had the opportunity to get to know her.
The red spot on the bed last night shocked, excited and helpless him.
Quan Jiu patted his head like he was patting a dog:
"I have never loved Chu Tuo. Maybe I mistook my momentary admiration for love."
She had never loved Chu Tuo, and she didn't know what the original owner was thinking, so she could only comfort him in this way.
