Chapter 536 Two Old Seniors
Two people stood at the door of the quiet room.
A man with white beard and white hair, his face is full of marks left by the years like knives and axes. He is not tall. Li Dachui visually estimated that he is at most five feet tall. However, his arms are surprisingly long. Standing There, it was actually knee-deep. The whole person stood there like a javelin, and the military aura was really overflowing.
This person must be Xiang Ying. After all, such an appearance can be said to be unique and easy to identify.
The other person standing next to Xiang Ying has gray hair and beard. He looks younger than Xiang Ying, but his appearance is much better. Even if he is old, he can still use the phrase "good-looking," To describe him as personable, this person is at least seven feet tall, with a rosy face and extremely well-maintained appearance. Compared with Xiang Ying's martial aura that cannot be concealed, this person feels approachable, elegant and approachable.
There is only one person in Chu who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Xiang Ying.
That is Xiong Yi, the former chief minister of Chu who retired with Xiang Ying.
Xiong Yi is from a royal family, while Xiang Ying is from a wealthy family.
The Xiong family and the Xiang family have stood side by side since the founding of Chu, until now.
“I’m really offended if you fail to welcome an honored guest from afar!” Xiang Ying clasped his fists and said, “But the situation is such that we have to take this step. I don’t think Li Duhu will blame him!”
Li Dachui clasped his fists and returned the salute: "The old general is overly concerned. I am a latecomer to school. It is my good fortune to meet these two seniors. How can I offend you?"
Xiong Yi also raised his hand. He smiled and said: "Forty years ago, Xiong Yi went to Chang'an as an envoy. The person in charge of receiving me at that time was Li Duhu's father. Prince Zemin was so kind and generous, which was heart-breaking! It's a pity... I heard that my old friend had a daughter-in-law. I'm really overjoyed. Old Xiang didn't let me come today, but I have to come to see my old friend's son no matter what."
Li Dachui bowed slightly and said with a smile: "I heard what my adoptive father said. Firstly, he is not worthy of his father, and secondly, he is not like his mother. Not only is he inferior in appearance, but he is also far inferior in character, which makes the seniors laugh! "
Xiang Ying shook his head: "You are too humble to protect me. The Protector is much more powerful than Prince Zemin back then. If Prince Zemin had the plan of the Protector, how could he be defeated at the hands of a villain and die in regret?"
"The son does not speak to his father! However, the juniors don’t know the details of that year, let alone their parents, so I ask the seniors to be merciful!" Li Dachui said sternly.
My parents were indeed losers back then, and it was inevitable that they would be discussed by others, and even used as negative teaching materials to teach their children. But to say it in front of my own family would be too disrespectful to me.
“I’m sorry!” Xiang Ying and Xiong Yi nodded, and moved out of the way: “Li Duhu is a guest from afar, please!”
"Thank you!" Li Dachui was not polite and just took a step forward.
Today, it is not about seniority, but about the status of both parties.
Today is not about recounting old feelings, but about bargaining.
He is the Protector of the Beiting Protectorate. He controls thousands of miles of land and has hundreds of thousands of soldiers. He is not inferior to the two people in front of him. What's more, these two people now have something to ask for!
The quiet room is extremely simple, with bare walls and nothing but three grass dumplings placed on the ground. Perhaps before today, there was only one grass dumpling here.
Li Dachui walked directly to the separate Pu Tuan and sat down cross-legged. Xiang Ying and Xiong Yi naturally sat cross-legged opposite him.
"First of all, I would like to thank Li Duhu. Without your confirmation, we would still not be able to confirm the death of the late Emperor, let alone know that the Demon Queen is actually a member of the Demon Cult. !" Xiong Yi said.
"No need to thank you!" Li Dachui smiled and said: "My original intention is just to disrupt your Yong'an County so that He Zudao can take advantage of it. If I can help He Zudao win Yong'an County, then I will It's very beneficial. As for the things you said, they are just incidental to what I want to do, not intentional."
"For you, it is something that happens unintentionally. As far as we are concerned, it is a matter of wealth, life, and the country!" Xiong Yi said seriously. "So even though we know that the Protector has no good intentions, we still want to say thank you."
Li Dachui chuckled.
“May I ask the Protector, when did you guess the identity of the Demon Queen?” Xiang Ying asked.
Of course Li Dachui will not tell the truth. Tell these two old men now that I knew this a few years ago.
"It was also after the Yong'an Incident! When I saw He Han and his men appear, I became suspicious. Later, I checked carefully and found that it was indeed the case. I originally sent someone to inform General Xiang about this matter. I don’t think Jiang is still hot, but the old general already knows.”
“We sacrificed the life of an extremely good general for this matter.” Thinking of Wang Jun, Xiang Ying couldn’t help but dim.
“On the way forward, there will always be various prices that need to be paid.” Li Dachui said: “I have understood this truth since I started walking across the wasteland when I was more than ten years old. Step by step, countless ancestors who loved me fell on the way forward. Fortunately, so far, I have not failed to live up to their hopes. We people feel that we have lived like a dog for a long time!" Xiong Yi said: "You have been planning this since you discovered the identity of the Demon Queen!"
"Of course!" Li Dachui said with a smile: "I'm not afraid of you two making fun of me. I was just thinking, this is a God-given opportunity. Everyone in Chu State is united and unanimously supports Jiang Qian's situation. However, it is not in my interest at all. Only Chu State is in chaos. If I get weaker, I can safely run the business outside the customs first, and then raise my troops to go south to fight with Linghuye. Otherwise, Linghuye and I will fight to the death and end up making Jiang Qian's wedding clothes. Then Why bother! ”
Seeing that the faces of the two people opposite were a little bitter, Li Dachui continued: "And I believe that you two will definitely not reject my intention to cooperate."
"You are right!" Xiang Ying nodded: " The Qin Dynasty is in turmoil, and Da Chu does have a chance to dominate the world, but the opportunity is just an opportunity, and it may not necessarily succeed. However, if the Demon Queen continues to operate like this, I, Da Chu, will definitely change his color, so even if I know the protector’s intentions Despite the bad intentions, we have only one way to go: cooperation. If the opportunity is lost, we can wait for new opportunities, but once the country changes color, the country will be overturned and there will never be a future."
" The general and the prime minister are wise!" Li Dachui said: "What Jiang Qian wants is not just to repeat what happened to Emperor Yongwu. What she wants is to take a step closer and create a new situation that has never been seen before. , to be the queen of that generation."
"As long as we old guys are still alive, she can't even think about it!" Xiang Ying said. "Li Duhu, the situation has reached this point. We have no way out. I invite you here today just to ask if you can fulfill your promise to take this Demon Queen out of Danyang? If not, how can we continue to do so?" Danyang is going to be a river of blood, because we have to do it forcefully."
Li Dachui smiled: "Of course I can! But I have worked hard, and I need the two seniors to show some sincerity. Just come!”
