Chapter 168: Allow You to Be the Queen
Chapter 168: Allow You to Be the Queen
The stronghold was built deep in the mountains, with high walls made of stones outside, which made it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Therefore, when the Sixth Prince faced a row of archers on the high wall, his expression was somewhat surprised.
This was completely different from the information they had received. It was obvious that there were more than just three hundred bandits in this mountain stronghold.
The Sixth Prince was born gentle and elegant, and his movements were full of indescribable dignity. Even when he was out on business, he still dressed decently in high-quality brocade clothes.
"This prince would like to meet your Madam Su. I wonder if I have the honor to do so."
Wu Zhuimeng poked his head out from the high wall and looked him up and down.
"Why do you want to see the lady?"
The girl was dressed more like a man, but she looked sweet and pretty, and there was a fierceness in her eyes that could not be ignored.
However, the Sixth Prince still had a warm smile on his face.
"Of course there is something important to discuss."
"Okay, only you can come in, no one else is allowed to enter the village."
The county magistrate looked worried. "This is absolutely impossible. The prince is worth a lot of money. How can he enter the mountain stronghold alone? What if he accidentally encounters danger?"
"The bandits in this village are very cunning. Many houses nearby have been looted by them. Your Highness must not take any risks."
It can be seen that the county magistrate cares very much about the Sixth Prince, but his appearance draws Wu Zhuimeng's ridicule.
"What a dog-like county magistrate, why is he playing the role of a loyal minister at this time?"
"You are a beast in human form. If you hadn't driven away the refugees without any emotion and taken money to do things for them without listening to the people, how could I have recruited so many subordinates?"
"Do you still remember that Li Shou? I heard that he was your brother-in-law. He was a notorious bully in the area. He assisted others in bullying men and women. I don't know how much blood was stained under his hands."
"When someone else went to the government office to sue him, you protected him. You are not worthy of being the county magistrate at all."
As Wu Zhuimeng revealed the truth, the county magistrate's face became more and more ugly.
Wu Zhuimeng still kept talking at this time, "If I hadn't been unable to bear it, I would have kept that beast Li Shou to do evil. You actually had the nerve to file a petition to kill him, bah."
There was a chill in the Sixth Prince's eyes. Big beads of sweat appeared on the county magistrate's forehead, and he quickly wiped them off with his sleeve.
"Your Highness, I am wronged..."
Wu Zhuimeng didn't give him a chance to quibble.
"What an injustice! If the Sixth Prince doesn't believe it, he can just send someone to ask the people in the area under the jurisdiction of the county magistrate."
"Every family is crying out in grief. In the past two years, every family with a grown-up daughter dared not let her appear on the street, fearing that she would be abducted and abused by the Li family."
The top priority this time is to recapture the bandits, and he doesn't want his plans to be disrupted by a county magistrate.
The Sixth Prince ordered with a cold face, "Suppress the county magistrate and hand him over to the Dali Temple for investigation. If anyone is in cahoots with him, also hand him over to the Dali Temple."
The county magistrate knelt on the ground and kowtowed in panic, "Your Highness, you must not listen to this bandit's slander. It's unjust, Your Highness!"
"Pull it down."
Since they were discussing the matter of persuading the country to surrender, he naturally wanted to show Madam Su his sincerity, and beating the county magistrate on the spot was an example of his sincerity.
Sure enough, Wu Zhuimeng opened the gate of the village and welcomed the Sixth Emperor in.
When he looked over, he was shocked. He never expected that there were so many people in a mountain village. If they were really rebelling, they must be a cancer.
Although these bandits were not dressed in uniform, they stood in an orderly manner on both sides and looked more energetic than the officers and soldiers.
Wu Zhuimeng came before the Sixth Prince.
"Come on, I'll take you to see Madam Su."
Because the bandits were notorious during this period, rumors spread that Mrs. Su had a terrifying face with green face and fangs, and looked like a devil from hell.
Even the Sixth Prince had heard something about it, but when he saw Xianxian in person, he immediately felt that the rumors were not credible.
Even though the other person is wearing a mask, one can still tell that he has an extraordinary figure and temperament, and is not as scary as the outside world has rumored.
"Sixth Prince."
"Mrs. Su."
Xianxian nodded gently and raised her hand and said, "Sixth Prince, please take a seat. I heard that you are not here to suppress bandits today?"
Since the other party had already come straight to the point, the Sixth Prince naturally did not choose to beat around the bush.
"I not only want Madam Su to serve the country, but I also want Madam Su to lend a helping hand to me."
Xianxian was now interested. She sat up straight and asked curiously, "Give you a helping hand? What does the Sixth Prince mean by a helping hand?"
In fact, Xianxian had already guessed the Sixth Prince's purpose.
On the surface, he was doing this for the country and for the mission of the current emperor, but privately he was doing it for his own lofty ambitions.
As expected, the Sixth Prince stepped forward and clasped his fists, saying, "As long as Madam Su is willing to help me, if I ascend to the throne of the Lord of the Yun Kingdom in the future, I can satisfy you in terms of money and power."
Her slender hands were tapping lightly on the table, but her expression could not be seen due to the mask.
The Sixth Prince felt somewhat uneasy. After all, what he said now was no different from rebellion.
But the Sixth Prince really needs the support of military generals.
So he continued to increase the stakes.
"Madam Su, if you can help me get the throne, I will make you the queen once the matter is done, and we can enjoy the Yun Kingdom together."
The Sixth Prince now has a wife and three legitimate sons, not to mention his illegitimate sons and daughters.
Now he is willing to use the position of queen as bait, which is really a huge investment, but Xianxian is not interested.
"boom."
Behind the screen, Shi Nan accidentally broke a vase, and the sound of the vase falling to the ground immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the room.
The Sixth Prince frowned slightly and looked at the screen.
"Who?"
Xianxian chuckled and said, "Your Highness may not know this, but I already have a husband. However, I am still interested in the position of queen you promised me. As long as you keep your promise, I will naturally help you."
It is rumored that Madam Su is a widow who became a bandit in the mountains after her husband died, otherwise the Sixth Prince would never have thought of using the position of Queen as bait.
But now he has made a promise, and the other party has expressed his willingness to help him.
Now that a husband had appeared, the Sixth Prince's face became stiff and somewhat ugly.
"If Madam still wants to be the Queen, I hope you can clean up the people around you."
The general meaning is to get rid of the so-called husband.
But Xianxian tilted her head and tapped the mask lightly with her index finger.
"I am no longer the Sixth Prince's man. We are just partners now. As long as you keep your promise, I will wait for your position as Queen."
A dark light flashed across the Sixth Prince's eyes.
Queen's position?
Do you deserve it?
Promising the other party the position of queen is just an attempt to get rid of her.
Now he still needs you, he needs a sharp blade to help him get rid of the eldest prince and the second prince.
