Horse on the World

Chapter 766 Meeting, Relief, and Guessing the Future
The closer he got to Dingzhou, the more uneasy King Zhou became. This was a kind of fear from the bottom of his heart.King Zhou has also been a powerful party for so many years, so he naturally understands that pies will not fall from the sky for no reason.If Li Qing got him to Dingzhou, just as a so-called Zhou Hou, he would be more at ease to enjoy the happy life in the rest of his life, but things changed suddenly, the emperor's hat fell from the sky just like that, He restored the imperial lineage of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the great happiness once made him overjoyed, but after a short period of joy, there was great fear. The more you get, the more you give, he understands this truth.It's just a pity that my own destiny can no longer be decided by myself. Under the opponent's strong strength, I don't even have room to struggle.

The more he understood Li Qing's strength, the stronger his fear became. He was about to reach his destination. Facing the person who controlled his own destiny, King Zhou didn't know how to deal with it.This made King Zhou feel uncomfortable sleeping and eating, and he became obviously thinner. Today's conversation with Deng Peng made him even more terrified. Deng Peng's seemingly ordinary words concealed endless threats.

Deng Peng's sudden invitation made him very scared. At this time, Princess Yanran was much calmer. Seeing her father's haggard face and slightly trembling body, Princess Yanran insisted on coming with her father.

Princess Yanran was Li Qing's intended wife. Deng Peng might have the guts to do the King of Zhou quietly, but he didn't dare to do anything about Princess Yanran.

From the opened door, King Zhou saw Yan Nanfei and Wei Gang standing aside respectfully, and at the top of the table, a young man was sitting there casually, with a wine glass in his hand, a pair of Bright eyes were staring at them.

King Zhou's heart trembled, and he immediately understood who it was. Besides the Lord of Dingzhou, who else could make the powerful Yan Nanfei stand and wait on him carefully?Thinking of this, his legs immediately felt a little weak.

At this time, Princess Yanran also understood who the young woman in the room was, and she would be her man soon. In an instant, her face turned red, she lowered her head, and looked at her toes uneasily.

Li Qing smiled and stood up, "Please come in, Your Majesty!"

Yan Nanfei, Wei Gang and Deng Peng left the cabin, only Li Qing, King Zhou and Princess Yanran were left in the room.Li Qing looked at King Zhou, although he seemed a little apprehensive, but the other party who had been in a high position for a long time naturally had an aura that ordinary people could not match, and Princess Yanran who was sitting on the side with her head bowed, this woman who was about to become his wife, Li Qing even more so. The other party, who was somewhat curious and not yet 15 years old, could already be seen as a beauty, with a veil on his face that had not been taken off, but just a pair of big flickering eyes was enough to make people think endlessly.Seeing that I was nearly thirty years old, I suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of guilt in my heart.

Li Qing's rude stare made Yan Ran feel a little uncomfortable, but she could only lower her head helplessly, she could almost hear her heart beating, the golden step rocker on her head trembled slightly, she was really extremely nervous.

Li Qing suddenly realized that it was really rude for him to look at the other party like this. He stood up immediately, lifted the jug, filled it for King Zhou who was opposite him, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty will arrive at the destination tomorrow. In ten days, Your Majesty will be able to ascend the Great Treasure and restore the royal lineage of the Zhou family. With the assistance of our Dingzhou army, we will march straight to Luoyang and settle the Central Plains. That is just around the corner."

King Zhou's voice was dry, he didn't know what to say, and he said after a long while: "The power of Marshal Li is hereby ordered."

Li Qing smiled and said: "Before His Majesty arrives, some details of the matter have to be finalized, so Li Qing came before Leaky Night and disturbed His Majesty's rest, please forgive me!"

"It should be, it should be!" Seeing Li Qing holding up the wine glass, Zhou Wang held the glass with both hands and said.

"Then I'll be blunt!" Li Qing drank the wine in his glass and looked at the other party.

"General Deng, the battle of Heishuiyang must be extremely thrilling. I only heard about the victory in Dingzhou, but I don't know the details. Could General Deng explain it to the two of us to accompany the wine?" Yan Nanfei laughed Dao said, at this time the three of them had already set up a banquet in the cabin on one side, as for Li Qing, they had already changed the banquet.

Deng Peng laughed, "As a navy general, it's enough to have this battle in my life!" Picking up the wine glass, he raised his hand to the next door, and stood up, "If the lord hadn't been in the midst of pulling Peng and Mochen back then, for many years , strong support, many points of advice, how come Deng Peng's achievements today, Deng Peng has no other thoughts in this life, but is willing to fight east and west under the command of the lord, to guard the sea for the lord, and to protect the lord's country forever."

Hearing Deng Peng's words, both Yan Nanfei and Wei Gang stood up, and Yan Nanfei said solemnly: "You and I are all due to the lord's eclectic use of talents to make us what we are today, and we are the ones who can serve the lord. It's an honor, General Deng, are you only guarding the sea for the lord? I heard what the lord said, there is a vast world beyond the sea. General Zheng Zhiyuan sent his troops far away, isn't it just for the lord to open up the territory? "

Wei Gang was also deeply touched, "Wei Gang lived in a remote place, and when he first entered Dingzhou, he stole a high position. He was really terrified. It is enough to be attached to the master's wings and tails in this life."

All three of them bowed deeply to the neighbor, raised their glasses, and drank it all in one gulp.

From time to time, there will be rhythmic drumming sounds outside the cabin, which is a regular communication signal between the ships. After the sound of this ship, the sound of drumming will come from the distant ship as it approaches, and gradually go away , until the end was unheard, Deng Peng's navy anchored at sea, the huge navy has a square garden of tens of miles, and at night, they can only communicate with each other by the pre-set drumbeat.Every half an hour, the ships will communicate with each other once.

I don't know how many times the drum beat, the moon in the sky is gradually sinking to the west, the banquet on the table is broken, and Deng Peng's narration is coming to an end. Finally, there is a knock on the door, and a voice sounds outside the door: "Three adults, my lord, please go over!"

The three of them walked out of the cabin door, looked at the moon hook, and suddenly realized that it was already past midnight, when they opened the door next door, Li Qing stood up, while the face of Zhou Wang who was opposite him was rosy, Smiling all over his face, it seemed that Li Qing had given him a reassurance and dispelled his worries.

Seeing the three of them coming in, Li Qing smiled and said: "Master Wei, you can stay here today to have a good chat with King Zhou, Nan Fei, we have to rush back to Hailing Port, tomorrow's business is still busy, It's going to tire you out, how about it, okay?"

Yan Nanfei laughed and said, "My lord is not tired, how can I dare to say I'm tired?"

Li Qing laughed, and said goodbye to King Zhou. When he turned around, his gaze stayed on Princess Yanran for a moment. Seeing the shyness and uneasiness of the other party, the smile on his face couldn't help but grow stronger, and he turned and strode away.

A group of people sent Li Qing to the bottom deck, watched Li Qing go up to the opposite battleship, and watched the five-thousand-material battleship slowly leave until the lights on the ship completely disappeared from sight. Withdrew his gaze.

Knowing that King Zhou would definitely consult Wei Gang about some matters, Deng Peng did not say much, cupped his fists at the three people opposite him, nodded, turned and left.

"Master Wei, please go to my cabin." Looking at the courtier in front of him who he used to lean on as his arm, King Zhou couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, but he still had to put on a smiling face to greet him. Instead of being sorry for him, he won a lot of benefits for him. For example, Wei Gang insisted on marrying Princess Yanran and Li Qing, which at least made him a little bit more secure, even if it was only a little bit. For people like them , is also quite rare.

"Your Majesty, please don't call me that!" Wei Gang blushed. Fortunately, the lights were dim at night and the other party couldn't see clearly, otherwise Wei Gang would be even more ashamed. "In the past, I was your majesty's courtier. Now and in the future, I will still be your majesty's courtier! Your majesty will soon restore the Great Zhou Dynasty and become emperor."

King Zhou smiled and didn't speak any more, but just turned around, Yan Ran followed closely behind, Wei Gang chewed on King Zhou's smile in his heart, and followed, Li Qing clearly meant to keep him here , is to further dispel King Zhou's worries, and just be a puppet with peace of mind.Moreover, Wei Gang also knew that after the king of Zhou arrived in Dingzhou, he was unaccompanied. The former officials of Taiwan Island and the army were all arrested.

Zheng Zhiyuan left for transfer, and he was the only one who could speak in Dingzhou.

Although I did hide my selfishness in the negotiations with Dingzhou, no matter how I say it, I am worthy of King Zhou.Thinking of these, Wei Gang became calm.

Through the journey from the deck back to the cabin, King Zhou finally adjusted his mood. No matter what he said, Wei Gang was still someone he would rely heavily on in the future, and it seemed that he could be of great use in Dingzhou .

"Wei Qing." The two sides sat down, and Zhou Wang said calmly: "I know very well in my heart that I am just a banner for Dingzhou to overthrow the rule of Da Chu, and there is an upright reason for General Li to compete in the middle, but for me, It is enough to be able to restore the imperial lineage of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and to return to Luoyang to worship the ancestral temple as the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty. long?"

Wei Gang pondered for a while, and decided not to go around the bush, but to tell the truth: "Your Majesty, the duration of the Great Zhou Dynasty depends on the degree of attachment of people's hearts after Marshal Li wins the world. Once this process is completed, then, I think the Great Zhou Dynasty will last forever." Now that the curtain has come to an end, His Majesty will surrender the throne to Marshal Li in the form of Zen, and as for whether Marshal Li will continue the Zhou Dynasty or change to a new one, I don't know right now."

"Then, how long will it take for Marshal Li to conquer the Central Plains?" King Zhou asked.

"From the military point of view, based on my current understanding of Dingzhou, if there is no accident, it will probably not take more than three to five years before Marshal Li will defeat all heroes and march into Luoyang."

King Zhou sighed.

Wei Gang looked at King Zhou's lonely eyes, and said with relief: "Your Majesty, no matter what, you will have the title of Supreme Emperor after the Zen throne, and it will not be a problem to spend your old age peacefully. What's more, Princess Yanran will become Marshal Li's official wife." , as long as a dragon son is born, it will be Marshal Li's son, and the possibility of the son's succession in the future is much greater than that of the other sons, when the time comes, the blood of the Zhou family will still be the royal family!"

Wei Gang's eyes turned to Princess Yanran who was sitting quietly on the side. Hearing about her, Yanran couldn't help lowering her head. When she met Li Qing earlier, she didn't say a word to Li Qing, nor did she lift her veil, but fourteen At the age of five, it is also the time of the girl Huaichun. Among other things, she is still very satisfied with Li Qing's appearance.

"How easy is that?" King Zhou sighed, "Dashuai Li already has two sons, and Ji Shi's biological mother died, but An Min is not only the eldest son, but also heard that his aunt is in Ding Zhan and has great influence. Even Marshal Li has to be scruples, even if Yanran has a son in the future, this is probably a hurdle that cannot be avoided!"
