Chapter 403 – Su Wuji’s Helplessness
Chapter 403 – Su Wuji’s Helplessness
“What do you think?”
Su Wuji and Xiao Mu led the South Li cavalry clustered around the carriage traveling slowly, and happened to pass through the middle of the West Qin’s continuous military camps, looking around, this group of West Qin soldiers seemed to be even more elite and tougher than the ones that were conquering in the south.
Xiao Mu looked around and laughed: “Soldiers’ appearance is solemn, imposing, and murderous, the Western Qin army deserves to be the first class of the world!”
“I’m talking about the person Jiang Yuqing!”
Su Wuji looked at the carriage in front of him, a trace of hatred flashed across his face once again.
Xiao Mu looked much more serious and deliberated for a while, “My nephew thinks that although Jiang Yuqing is young, he is ambitious, good at soldiering and scheming, has a measured demeanor, and his talent in the martial realm is also first class. Although the rebellion against the Great Zhou, unruly, regicide in vain, rather inappropriate, but the world is afraid that no one can deny that this person is the world’s kingpin!”
“Do you really think so?” Su Wuji let out a faint smile.
Xiao Mu shook his head and said, “Well, truthfully, I won’t hide it from the Great King, even if the seniors in the world all say that Jiang Yuqing is a lord and martial arts demon who is capable of suppressing an era, I actually don’t think so.”
“Oh?”
“The martial arts era is coming, even my Tian Ji Pavilion’s old ancestor doesn’t know what will happen, and all the martial artists in the world are practicing in their hearts, already waiting for the future. Although he, Jiang Yuqing, has a good talent for martial arts, he is bent on earthly conquests and power struggles, so he has inevitably fallen short! Especially with the constant sand contaminating the soul and the regicide heart loss, how could such a person achieve anything higher?
From the aspect of power and the world, we martial artists are not as good as him, but from the aspect of martial arts, even if his current battle power is amazing, the geniuses of the major sects still look down on him!
If you don’t believe me, let’s see, when the martial arts world comes, what can this person do? I’m afraid that a body of fame and fortune scattered, less time to have a big may not be good, common people a just!”
“Heh.”
Su Wuji looked at the city gates and smiled.
Xiao Mu hesitated for a moment: “I don’t know how Your Majesty evaluates this person?”
Su Wuji shook his head: “I don’t comment!”
He suddenly did not know how to evaluate this person Jiang Yuqing, perhaps he could only use one word to describe it-
Weird!
Strange strange!
“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ……”
The Shenwu Gate ahead suddenly opened wide.
Xiao Mu laughed and said, “The Imperial Capital Ministers are afraid that they know that the County King is here and have opened the city to greet him, and with the County King at the helm, the new Emperor will have a lot more confidence!”
“I heard that Jiang Yuqing has made peace with the late emperor, the specifics of the matter of the strike, but also to go to the capital to ask, the conditions of the Western Qin retreat, the king still need to talk with Jiang Yuqing again!”
Su Wuji stroked his beard, however, the next moment, paused.
Only to see countless grain carts and silver carts emerging from the city gates, soldiers and laborers pushing them with great effort, winding and circling, all the way to the depths of the capital.
There were even dozens of eunuchs and officials from the Ministry of Ceremony traveling in a hurry.
“What happened?” Xiao Mu wondered.
Su Wuji had already leaped forward and stopped a group of Ministry of Ceremonies officials: “Where are you all going and what is this for?”
The group of officials looked at him in surprise, and suddenly recognized Su Wuji, his face was happy, and he quickly saluted: “So it’s the king who has arrived, we are …… the left prime minister at the back, the king can just ask the prime minister!”
The words just fell, a large number of guards in the city flanked by a purple-robed old man hurriedly rushed to, away from the distance will be surprised to say: “Su virtuous brother!”
Su Wuji looked at Feng Suhu with a bad premonition and asked, “Zuo Chancellor, where is this headed?” Feng Si Hu reached the front, tightened the reins of his horse, and sighed heavily: “His Majesty’s coronation is just around the corner, but the Qin soldiers are still eyeing us closely, and have held us hostage several times. The matter of peace talks with the late emperor needs to be committed as soon as possible, or else the thieves and soldiers will keep on soldiering the city, and the enthronement ceremony will become a joke, we are willing to use money and false names to buy peace.”
Su Wuji’s face showed a trace of irrepressible fury, Xin Zhuo actually underestimated his knot of heart towards Great Zhou, he and Emperor Tian Zhuan ate a mother’s milk and were as close as brothers, while the late emperor, although he had weakened his military power, he would always refer to him as uncle, and he would always refer to him as king in his books, and he respected him greatly. The new ruler ascended the throne, he needs to take the helm for Great Zhou, this humiliating behavior in front of him, how can he accept it?
He even somewhat regretted that he relieved Jiang Yuqing in the beginning, who could have expected that that kid could do such a great job in the beginning?
“What specifically did the Qin thief want?”
“Later …… say it.”
Feng Si Hu arched his hand and took his leave, he had thought of relying on Su Wuji to haggle a bit, but just remembered that the South Li Army was also beaten miserably by the Western Qin, so he was no longer half interested.
Su Wuji looked at the far away Feng Si Hu’s group of people, stopped at the same place and was unwilling to go, he would like to take a look and listen to what bargaining chips this Jiang Yu Qing had asked for.
Xiao Mu turned his horse around and similarly looked at them.
He saw that Feng Si Hu led a large number of eunuchs and officials from the Ministry of Rites to the Western Qin army camp, and Jiang Yu Qing had just returned, wearing her long hair, eating grapes by herself, and her arrogance was outrageous.
The left minister Feng Zihu did not think, open the imperial decree, read according to the decree: “His Majesty’s imperial decree:……”
First of all, the West Qin a flurry of boasts, and Jiang Yuqing a flurry of boasts, simply boasted to the sky, loyalty and righteousness, the world pillar, focusing on pointing out that the treacherous minister Linghu Pi has died, the West Qin to stop the army to say and, followed by the formal sealing of Jiang Yuqing as the King of Qin of the Great Zhou, the fake section battle-axe, the autonomy of the West Qin, and finally the promise of countless amounts of money and food, equivalent to all the use of this West Qin soldiers rebel, the imperial court a big hand to reimburse the reimbursement.
Finished, the hall of the left minister Feng Suhu also groveling to Jiang Yuqing kneeling, holding up the imperial decree.
Has the world ever seen a prime minister kneeling down and begging a traitor to receive an imperial decree?
The majesty of the court and the dignity of the new emperor were completely thrown into the dust at this moment.
“Jiang thief! You’re too deceitful!”
Su Wuji couldn’t stand it anymore and leaped his horse to go forward.
“Father!” The curtains of the carriage in front were suddenly pulled open, and Su Miaojin stopped it with a sharp voice.
“What do you want to do?”
In front of the family and country matters, Su Wuji no longer has the father’s compassion, coldly said: “My father has always thought that you are a good girl who knows what is right and wrong, and knows what is sensible, but how can you help Jiang Yuqing, the rebel, over and over again?”
“My daughter did not favor him!” Su Miao Jin solemnly said: “My daughter only asked father, can you untie the dead knot between Jiang Yuqing and the late emperor? The late emperor set Jiang Yuqing up for death several times, and Jiang Yuqing fought back, so who can say whether it was right or wrong?
The world’s affairs have withered to this point, the court compromises, West Qin compromises, is a happy thing, stabilizing the situation is what father should do now, why destroy this delicate balance?”
Su Wuji could not help but fall into silence.
Xiao Mu’s eyes flickered for a moment and smiled, “Jin’er is extremely right, please think twice, Your Highness.”
“Senior brother does not need to be addressed as such, you and I are but fellow disciples, just call me Su Miao Jin!” Su Miao Jin seemed to be very repulsed, letting down the car curtain, her voice cold.
Xiao Mu smiled noncommittally and looked back at Xin Zhuo, his brows deeply locked.
“Forget it!”
Su Wuji sighed quietly, strangling his horse and entering the city gates, his body was sluggish, as if he had aged a few years.
He felt that his daughter’s words were very reasonable, and that he could not change anything.
