Chapter 115: Nine Mountain King
Near Jiuling Mountain, thousands of elite soldiers from the Shenwu Camp were protecting a carriage that was moving slowly forward. They were escorting envoys from the imperial court, and the Qinglian Sect's troops did not stop them.
In the carriage, a stunning girl was looking at the scenery outside the window with a happy face. Her beautiful face was truly heart-warming.
But Xu Wenbi, the Duke of Wei beside her, sighed and said, "Yanran, you know, everything we have is given by the royal family , the fine clothes and delicious food, the splendor and wealth, the huge mansion, the respected status, everything is given by the royal family. If the royal family collapses, we will be finished."
Hearing this, Xu Yanran turned around and asked in surprise: "Uncle, what's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly talking about this?"
Xu Wenbi said with a guilty look on his face: "Actually, I didn't bring you here just for fun. You are smart, so you should be able to guess why I brought you here."
Marriage!
Xu Yanran's face, originally full of joy, suddenly turned into a look of sadness.
She didn't expect that this tragic fate would befall her so suddenly.
Of course she had heard of the Great Demon King of Jiuling Mountain. He was a big demon that made the nobles shudder at the mention of him!
She said with a sad face: "You want to marry me to that big devil?"
Xu Wenbi sighed helplessly: "For the Xu family and the imperial court, I have no choice but to let you down."
really.
Xu Yanran could only shed tears silently.
She couldn't decide who to marry, but her uncle had already spoken, so she had to marry him even if he was a big devil.
At this moment, the big devil Chen Jiu was sitting in the hall decorated with flowers and wondering secretly, why did Duke Wei Xu Wenbi come here again?
He has already said that it is impossible to surrender, so why is this guy wasting his breath?
baffling!
There was the sound of footsteps, and Duke of Wei Xu Wenbi came in.
Chen Jiu looked up and was stunned.
This guy actually brought a stunningly beautiful girl with him. What is he trying to do?
When Xu Yanran saw the young man in the flower hall, she was also stunned.
Is this the big devil?
The big devil that the princes and nobles in the capital city talked about was not like this.
All she heard were horrible rumors about people with green faces and fangs, eating raw meat and drinking blood, being cruel and violent.
He is obviously just a handsome young man, how could he be a big evil villain?
Xu Wenbi sat down slowly and smiled slightly, "Chen Jiu, long time no see, how are you these days?"
What?
Is there water in your head?
Chen Jiu was completely stunned by this cordial greeting.
He stared at Xu Wenbi for a while, then said with a fake smile: "I'm fine, don't worry about me, Duke."
Xu Wenbi still smiled and said, "We are old acquaintances, so don't be so distant."
Are you sick?
I am a rebel.
Are you trying to make friends with me?
Chen Jiu said very straightforwardly: "Just say what you want to say, don't talk nonsense."
Xu Wenbi immediately said seriously: "Do you know about the Japanese pirates?"
Japanese pirates?
Chen Jiu couldn't help but frowned when he heard this.
For some reason, he felt unhappy when he heard these two words.
He thought about it and simply asked back: "Why did you mention the Japanese pirates to me?"
Xu Wenbi sighed and said, "The Japanese pirates are too brutal. The people along the coast are miserable. The imperial court wants to wipe them out, but every time they hear that the navy is coming, they flee back to Japan. We have no way to deal with them. Alas."
Japan!
When Chen Jiu heard this, some very bad images suddenly flashed through his mind.
The Japanese pirates are beasts!
He said coldly: "You tell me this because you want me to kill the Japanese pirates?"
You guessed it.
Xu Wenbi said solemnly: "You have caused the mountains to roar and the sea to tremble, the earth to shake, and the inland areas to be squeezed and deformed. Dengzhou Prefecture and Laizhou Prefecture have also been squeezed to move thousands of miles eastward. Now Dengzhou Prefecture is only hundreds of miles away from Japan. The Japanese pirates will probably swarm in soon. By then, Dengzhou Prefecture will surely be devastated and miserable."
Humph, the Japanese pirates want to bully the common people right under my nose?
I killed them!
Chen Jiu snorted inwardly, but pretended to look at the stunning beauty, then pretended to be moved and said, "Are you here to seek peace?"
As expected, even a hero can be tempted by a beautiful woman, and this boy was tempted.
Xu Wenbi nodded slightly and said, "You can say that your majesty feels that we have risked our lives to give the pirates an advantage in vain, and the common people will suffer in the end. Therefore, he sent me to ask you if you are willing to conquer Japan and destroy the pirates for the common people along the coast ."
Are you doing this for the common people?
Go fool the devil!
Of course Chen Jiu knew that Jiajing wanted him to fight the Japanese pirates to the death. It was obvious at a glance that this was a scheme to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
However, he wanted to pretend to fall into the trap and really destroy the Japanese pirates!
He must kill all those beast-like Japanese pirates. Moreover, killing the Japanese pirates takes time, and he can also delay the time at the same time.
Xu Wenbi certainly didn't know what he was thinking, and Jiajing would definitely spend a lot of money to trick him into fighting the Japanese pirates.
It would be a waste if you don’t take advantage of this bargain!
He pretended to hesitate for a long time, looked at the stunning beauty again, and then gritted his teeth and asked, "What's the benefit?"
This expression should work!
Xu Wenbi was secretly delighted, but on the surface he said seriously: "His Majesty said that as long as you are willing to take action to destroy the Japanese pirates, the past will be forgiven and you will be crowned king."
Oh, I can even deceive people into calling me a prince, not bad, it’s better than being called the devil.
Chen Jiu still pretended to hesitate and said, "Just to be crowned a king, but without fiefdoms? Don't those vassal kings have fiefdoms?"
Xu Wenbi gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, this huge new area is your fiefdom."
Chen Jiu pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "This new domain is originally mine, okay? Can you take it?"
This boy is quite greedy.
Okay, as long as you are greedy, you will die, and then the fiefdom will still be ours.
Xu Wenbi gritted his teeth and said, "Also, Qingzhou, Laizhou, and Dengzhou, how are they? Are you satisfied?"
Is this what it means?
Chen Jiu pretended to hesitate and remained silent.
Oh, Yanran, don’t blame me.
Xu Wenbi slowly turned around and said, "This is my niece's great-granddaughter, the daughter of Duke Dingguo's mansion. She is virtuous, beautiful, intelligent, gentle and dignified. If you are willing to help, our Duke Wei's mansion and the Duke Ding's mansion will form an alliance with you in marriage."
Uh, okay, that should be about right.
They even sent their own niece and granddaughter here, what ?
Chen Jiu nodded slightly, and then said solemnly: "You should know that it is difficult for the Ming Dynasty to destroy Japan even with the whole country's strength. I can't destroy Japan with just a wave of my hand. Japan is a country. If I go to destroy it alone, it will take at least several decades."
You still have decades left. As long as you go to Japan, it would be good if you can live for a few dozen days.
Xu Wenbi also nodded slightly and said, "His Majesty did not tell you to destroy Japan with just a wave of your hand. You can do whatever you want."
Very good, in a few decades, I will take care of you all!
Upon hearing this, Chen Jiu pretended to be serious and said, "Well, I will destroy Japan for the common people, so don't stab me in the back."
If we don't poke you, God will poke you.
Xu Wenbi said solemnly: "Don't worry, His Majesty will withdraw his troops after he crowns you king."
Okay, get out of here.
Chen Jiu nodded slightly and said, "Don't make it so fancy when you crown the king. Just send me the seal or something."
We are too lazy to bother, we are too lazy to even think of a title for you.
Xu Wenbi said without hesitation: "No problem, you can decide the title yourself if you want to be king."
Chen Jiu thought about it, then slowly said: "Don't call me the Great Demon King of Jiuling Mountain in the future, just call me the King of Jiushan."
Okay, it’s finally settled.
Xu Wenbi immediately stood up and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty is waiting for me. I have to go back quickly. Prince, goodbye."
After saying that, he hugged Xu Yanran beside him, patted her on the back gently, then turned around and walked away quickly.
This is called marriage!
You guys probably sent this stunning beauty to monitor me, didn't you?
It doesn't matter. I will definitely destroy Japan. I'm not lying. It's okay as long as this girl doesn't have any bad intentions.
Chen Jiu thought about it, then stood up, walked over slowly, and smiled slightly: "What's your name?"
Xu Yanran subconsciously took a step back and asked in panic, "You, how old are you?"
I really forgot about this.
Chen Jiu thought about it for a moment, then smiled and said, "I am eighteen years old."
So small!
Xu Yanran couldn't help but ask curiously: "Then why do they call you the Great Devil?"
This little girl doesn't seem like a bad person.
Chen Jiu pretended to be helpless and said, "There's nothing I can do. The Crown Prince can't beat me, so he can only tarnish my reputation. How can I, such a good person, be a big devil?"
Is this true or false?
Xu Yanran couldn't help but ask again: "Are you really a good person?"
I am indeed a good person in front of my own people.
Chen Jiu simply released Luo Li, Jiao Na and Zhang Wanxia from the Immortal Mansion and spread his hands and said, "Tell me, am I a good person?"
Luo Li and Jiaona were stunned when they saw a stunning beauty suddenly appear beside him.
Zhang Wanxia was surprised and asked, "Yanran, why are you here?"
Okay, so her name is Yanran.
We met an acquaintance, so there was no need to introduce him.
Chen Jiu simply waved his hand and said, "You guys play with her, I have to go practice."
