Chapter 623 – I wanead of over a hundred thousand

Everyone in Da Xi knew that Chen Zhongxu was an idle prince, to the point that everyone neglected one thing … No matter how idle this idle prince was, he was still Chen Wunuo’s son. Given the circumstances, how could Chen Wunuo’s son really biece of trash?

If it wasn’t for him knowing his son’s capabilities, would Chen Wunuo dare to hand over the battle at the Southwest border region to Chen Zhongxu?

Perhaps, even Zhuge Dangdang had underestimated Chen Zhongxu. He thought that she was very smart and thought that she had played Chen Zhongxu for a fool. Even he did not expect Chen Zhongxu to know who he was from the beginning. Anyone of the Great Xi Empire’s Chen family would be at a disadvantage if they looked down on them.

Even if An Zheng didn’t help today, it was unknown what would happen if Chen Zhongxu kept Zhuge Dangdang alive in the future.

The pavilion, the tea, and the beauty.

Chen Zhongxu squinted as he sat on the reclining chair, looking at the bright moon that occasionally appeared from behind the clouds in the sky. The cold and arrogant woman standing beside him waved a folding fan for him, looking very comfortable and comfortable.

“Your Highness, your subordinate always felt that there was something wrong with this person.”

“Hmm?”

“Your subordinate has already sent people to investigate the Cang Sect, there should be news coming back soon. This time, His Highness will be returning to the capital at the right time to display his skills, and won’t let one or two suspicious people disturb His Highness’ affairs. ”

“My business?”

Chen Zhongxu laughed: “Huangfu, how many years have you been following me?”

“Seven years.”

“Seven years isn’t a short amount. Counting the past two thousand days and nights, it has already been so long. Don’t you understand me?”

“Your Highness... That was another time. ”

“No one.”

Chen Zhongxu said: “This is not my personal matter, it is Da Xi’s business. I remember telling you many times that I only had two goals in my life. Firstly, he had spent more time playing around. Second, he was like a god’s chosen one, and his cultivation had made some progress. If both of these points are successful, then my life will be more than enough. ”

“But Your Highness, the fact that His Majesty summoned you back is enough to show how much importance he attaches to His Highness. In the Southwest region, those who were not most trusted could not lead troops. If it was a few years ago, this matter of leading the soldiers had to be Chen Zhongqi, but he had already lost his power, and was no longer the hot First King. “The fact that His Majesty called you back from Longxi and entrusted you with such an important task has already explained a few things.”

“You’re wrong.”

Chen Zhongxu laughed: “You guys don’t understand his majesty, even I don’t understand him, so what about you guys? He wanted me to think he was taking me seriously, but if you don’t believe me, I’ll be sent back to Longxi as soon as the Southwest Frontier business is over, as if nothing had happened. Your Majesty is someone who has just been hired. When the time comes, he will make a decision, but when it comes, people will not be able to feel any displeasure. This is the power of your Majesty. ”

Huangfu Qingqing said, “But Your Highness, this is truly an extremely rare opportunity.”

“No chance.”

Chen Zhongxu waved his hand: “On my way back from Longxi, everyone who I met felt that this was a sign that I was about to rise, so the officials along the way did their best to curry favor with me and express their goodwill, but they were all wrong. It was impossible for them to guess what the emperor was thinking. His Majesty only wants them, me, to think that he’s going to use me, that’s all. ”

Huangfu Qingqing said, “This subordinate spoke too much, but this subordinate …”

“No need for that.”

Chen Zhongxu tilted his head and looked at Huangfu Qing, “Has your cultivation declined recently?”

“Subordinate... “I’m fine.”

“If it wasn’t so, how could you have lost someone? Ye Yu’s cultivation level and age do not match. He is a young genius, but even so, his cultivation level is still far below yours. Zhuge Dangdang was shrewd and scheming, furthermore, he was afraid of death and was deeply rooted in her bones. His cultivation realm was clearly higher than Ye Yurou’s, yet he was chased to the point of fleeing for her life … Of these two, one was young and vigorous, while the other was too cautious and afraid of death. The former was still okay, but in the future he would be able to improve himself. As for Zhuge Dangdang’s cultivation, that was also fine, as long as she could not advance any further. So, you actually can’t keep up with the two of them, which makes me very curious about what’s going on. ”

Huangfu Qing remained silent for a while before he replied, “This subordinate has his own selfish motives.”

Chen Zhongxu laughed: “I can tell, you don’t like these two people. One of them was the leader of a group of criminals living in a southwest exile. One of them is a young man of unknown origin, perhaps with some great secret on his person, so you don’t think it’s appropriate for both of them to stay by my side. Rather than leaving behind the culprit, it would be better to let those two fight to the death. It would be best if they both died to comply with your wishes, right? So, it’s not that you can’t keep up, it’s just that you don’t intend to follow along at all. ”

When he said those last few words, his tone clearly became more serious.

Huangfu Qing felt the change in Chen Zhongxu’s tone. He lowered his head and said, “This subordinate was wrong.”

Chen Zhongxu asked: “Am I nice to you?”

“Your highness, there’s no better way to deal with your subordinates.”

“That’s why I’m wondering if I’m being too nice to you.”

Chen Zhongxu spoke as though he was talking to himself: “Even if I don’t have the mind to enter the imperial court, I don’t have the mind to fight for more power. I don’t even have the thought of seeking a place in the imperial court … But it’s not up to you guys to decide for me. ”

Huangfu Yuqing kneeled down withump. “This subordinate is guilty!”

Chen Zhongxu said: “Since you know that you are a servant, you should also understand and remember what your responsibilities are. Since you chose to follow me, I will spare no effort to be better to you. You must not forget your original intentions. I told you to follow them, to tell you that neither of them can die yet, and you thought they deserved it, so you replaced my orders. ”

As Huangfu Qing knelt there, he felt for the first time the anger that came from a king on Chen Zhongxu’s body. To be honest, Chen Zhongxu was indeed a master who was too good to his subordinates, so they couldn’t help but be a little presumptuous.

“Kneel.”

Chen Zhongxu’s tone softened a bit before saying, “You guys have told me more than once that following me is the right decision. I’ve told myself more than once that I’ve chosen the right people to bring you all along. The master was his choice. This was the best way to get along. I do not ask of you anything, do not give you can not do the task, this is understanding you. You all still haven’t learned to understand me. ”

Huangfu Qingqing pressed his forehead against the ground, not daring to speak.

Chen Zhongxu said: “You think I fancy Zhuge Dangdang? She was someone who could die ten thousand times without feeling sorry for him. He had done countless evil deeds in the southwest. Do you know what they call him? The King of Hell in the southwest … They were originally a group of exiles, but they became the local tyrants. Someone like them should be killed. However … If Da Xi were to mobilize troops from the southwest, would she really be facing those small countries from the southwest? Southwest was also known as the prefecture of Chuan, which was also Da Xi’s warehouse. Half of Sichuan is on the border with the Buddhist State, and those small countries, the Golden Tooth Country west of Sichuan, the Tusk Country, and the even more mysterious and powerful Night Woman Country will really just sit by and do nothing? ”

“When that time comes, when Da Xi’s army fights against so many enemies in the southwest, if those criminals in Fire Beacon City were to set a fire behind their backs, their million strong army might turn into ashes! Da Xi was powerful to the point where she was invincible. However, she was invincible in a one on one fight and noair of invincible existences in this world. Moreover, those criminals should all die, but they should die in the most damnable place, and that is on the battlefield. ”

“Give them a chance to see the light of day, and use words like ‘official’ or ‘noble’ to motivate them. They are likack of vicious beasts on the battlefield, frightening the enemies with the sound of their words! Do you think His Majesty is confused to make such a decision? If it’s really as you think, then where did I, Da Xi, come from for generations! ”

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Huangfu Yuqing couldn’t stop himself from kowtowing, and soon a large amount of red appeared on his forehead.

It was not only the two of them in the pavilion under the tree. There was also a middle-aged man in a long white robe. After seeing this scene, he also knelt down and placed his head on the ground, “Your Highness, we know our wrongs.”

“You know you’re wrong, but you can’t accept it.”

Chen Zhongxu laughed coldly: “Like I said before, I have spoiled all of you, causing you to think that no matter if it is in terms of cultivation or head, you are superior to me. Over time, you guys didn’t even respect me that much. ”

As soon as these words left his mouth, Huangfu Qing’s middle-aged man in white kowtowed even more heavily.

“Enough.”

Chen Zhongxu waved his hand. “Get up.”

The two did not kowtow, but did not dare to stand up.

“Your Highness, your subordinate will chase after him right now. Perhaps there will still be time.”

Huangfu Qing carefully asked. Fear was written all over his beautiful face, and a piece of his forehead had already been cut. Blood dripped out. Under the moonlight, it looked particularly painful. Such a cold and proud woman, would only put down her pride in front of Chen Zhongxu, and completely become a follower.

Chen Zhongxu reached out his hand, holding a white handkerchief, he wiped Huangfu Qing’s forehead lightly. “It’s already too late to chase after them.”

He handed the handkerchief to Huangfu Qing and leaned back. “I’ll give you two a chance to make a bet. Tell me, who lives and who dies. Those who guessed wrongly, I will leave this place tomorrow morning and find a suitable person to return to. I am lacking people right now, and very lacking people. I don’t dare to use the people listed in the court. ”

“This subordinate thinks that Zhuge Dangdang is still alive.”

The middle-aged man in white replied, “The difference in strength of those two is obvious. One of them is young and vigorous while the other is crafty. Moreover, there must be reinforcements from Fire Beacon City in Dongting City and even His Highness Zhuge Dangdang is on guard, so how can there be no backup? ”

Chen Zhongxu nodded. “Xie Fobo, you’ve always liked to calculate.”

He looked at Huangfu Qing and asked, “What about you?”

Huangfu Qingqing said, “Your subordinate … After all, he was someone who was about to reach the peak of the Higher Completion Stage. At the very least, he would be at the eighth stage of the Higher Completion Stage. Although Ye Youting was talented, his time in cultivation was still too short. But... Since Master Xie said that Zhuge Dangdang won, then this subordinate can only say that Ye Yurou won. ”

“Let’s add a bet.”

Chen Zhongxu said: Whoever wins, I will appoint someone to be the general in charge of the vanguard, and give you 50,000 elite soldiers to clear the way for the army.

“How are these prizes enough?”

The voice came from far away and carried a hint of ridicule: “If I were to say, we would need to add on the hundreds of thousands of heads in Fire Beacon City.”

A black object flew over and landed on the ground withud. It was a cloth bag, and when the cloth bag rolled, it opened, revealing a bloody head, it was Zhuge Dangdang’s.

The clothes on his body were tattered to pieces, but his expression was tranquil and relaxed, as if he was walking on an invisible ladder, and landed in the courtyard. He glanced at Chen Zhongxu, then looked at Huangfu Qing. “I’ve won the wager for you, how are you going to thank me?”

An Zheng sat opposite of Chen Zhongxu, and there wasn’t even a hint of respect in his voice when he said, “But in my opinion, the prize should belong to me. Didn’t His Highness ask me if I was willing to follow you south to war? Well, I do. However, the condition is that I want the position of General Pioneer, and I want the hundreds of thousands of heads in Fire Beacon City too. ”
