Chapter 76: Risk it all(2/2)
When Nangong Tou entered the palace, what he saw was Ruan Qingliu kneeling on the ground with his whole body prostrated. Her Majesty the Queen's eyes moved as Nangong Tou came and then said:
"You're here."
"Please forgive me, Queen Mother."
Before Her Majesty the Queen could say anything, Nangong Tou knelt down with a bang, and spoke to atone for her sins.
"Oh? What are you guilty of?"
Her Majesty the Queen's voice was lazy and changed into a different state at this time. It seemed that she was not asking questions, but just chatting.
But this simple sentence made Nangong break into a cold sweat. He knew that Her Majesty the Queen would become kind and cheerful when she was in an extremely bad mood, because there was no need to speak harshly to someone who was about to die.
It can be regarded as an act of accumulating virtue for yourself.
So Nangong Tou quickly said:
"I know I'm wrong. It's just that I and Ruan Qingliu are in love and really don't want to be separated from each other. I ask your Majesty to make it happen."
"Heh"
At this time, Her Majesty the Queen smiled coldly, and looked at the two of them with an even more stern expression:
"You two are in love, want to elope, assassinate the envoys, and ignore the Southern Kingdom. Nangong Tou, have you ever remembered Gu's teachings?"
The tea cup in front of Her Majesty the Queen fell squarely on Nangong Tou's head. The bright red blood flowed down Nangong Tou's forehead, and the hot tea splashed all over him, but he still did not dare to move.<
/p>
At this time, Ruan Qingliu saw Nangong Tou's appearance and wanted to step forward to wipe him, but stopped due to Her Majesty the Queen's burning eyes.
He gritted his teeth and closed his eyes and said:
"Your Majesty the Queen, please forgive me for overstepping my bounds. If...now...since I have offended the Shanyu...it is better to send people out to attack..."
Ruan Qingliu was obviously very nervous. He stuttered several times while saying a sentence, and he felt very guilty.
"Who is going? You?"
The Shanyu clan has occupied the north for many years, and has even grown significantly. It is not that the southern country does not have generals who can fight with it, and it is naturally not a problem for Yuge to lead it.
It's just that the Southern Kingdom still needs to send many generals and soldiers to guard the border. If one party is in chaos, the other parties will definitely take advantage of the situation to attack, and then they will be attacked from both sides.
This is also the reason why these countries are not willing to fight easily. The Shanyu clan is different. They are a nomadic people. They live in no fixed place and do not need to guard any borders. They are also good at hunting and ambushes.
Both the Southern Kingdom and the Huangfu Kingdom suffered losses at the hands of Shan Yu. They were like loaches, unable to be caught or killed, which made people angry.
Now that there is a way to easily appease Shan Yu, Her Majesty the Queen naturally does not want to start a big war, and the actions of Ruan Qingliu and Nangong Tou have pushed this matter to the forefront of the situation from which there is no retreat.
If we compromise, Wu Lun will definitely go to a large city. If we don't compromise, then the battle is inevitable.
So under Her Majesty the Queen's sharp gaze, Ruan Qingliu felt that the blood all over his body was frozen, and he looked at Nangong Tou, who was giving him hints in his eyes, suggesting that he should not make a promise easily.
Ruan Qingliu gritted his teeth. He didn't know where a surge of cruelty and passion arose. He gritted his teeth and said firmly:
Chapter completed!
