I'm dressed as the villain of the novel

Chapter 169 The Origin of the Kong Family

"This……"

Cao Xiong was startled when he heard the words, and looked up at Xin Zhao in surprise. Seeing the emperor's expressionless face, he couldn't help taking a breath, then bowed and agreed, "Here."

After saying that, he backed away.

As for the other people at the banquet, their expressions changed slightly, but no one raised any doubts.

Only Nan Luo whispered after Cao Xiong left, "Will this be a little risky?"

Xin Zhao smiled slightly when he heard the words, and said confidently: "Don't worry, I have a way to tell whether they are available."

Nan Luoying's expression changed slightly, but seeing him smiling confidently and calmly, she nodded and didn't say any more.

Although she didn't know how Xin Zhao had such confidence, she just thought it was the emperor's courage, although she felt adventurous, but at the same time admired it.

As for Li Cunxiao, he just paused for a moment, then lowered his head and began to eat.

He not only believed in the emperor, but also had confidence in his own strength.

Just like that Jiang Gonglan can confidently say "You can't take me down" when facing the leader of King Qi's Tiqi.

He is also confident that no matter what the circumstances, he can protect the emperor and retreat safely.

Otherwise, why did the emperor bring him here?
Now that he has this kind of self-confidence, he doesn't bother to worry about other things.

On the other hand, Kong Xuan, one of the Kong brothers and sisters, had been guessing what Xin Zhao's identity was. Seeing that he had the confidence to mobilize Jinyiwei and Dongchang's forces in Dahuang City at will, he became even more suspicious.

Could it be that……

A thought suddenly came to her, and her eyes couldn't help opening. She was startled by her guess.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that someone was pulling him, but he turned his head and saw that it was his brother Kong Xiao.

Just as he was in a daze, he saw that his elder brother had already got up and left the table. He went straight to the venue and prostrated and fell to the ground. !"

Kong Xuan was taken aback, and immediately realized that he ran to his elder brother and bowed down together.

But my heart couldn't help beating wildly.

God, is this Mr. Zhao really His Majesty the Great Qin Emperor?
Immediately, he quickly checked his previous words and deeds in his heart, and then he felt relieved that there seemed to be no excessive disrespect.

"You two don't have to be like this. Those who don't know are not guilty, not to mention that I have concealed my identity first. It is not impolite to talk about the two at once."

Zhao Xin smiled calmly, and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of support, Nan Luoying understood, got up and went to help the two of them up, and said with a smile: "Brothers and sisters don't need to be like this, Your Majesty is currently in trance, there are too many words to be seen by outsiders Inconvenience."

After hearing the words, the two got up according to the words, but they clasped their fists at Nan Luoying again and said, "Thank you, Ma'am."

"Ah, I...I'm not..."

Nan Yingluo didn't expect the two of them to think of her as some accompanying concubine, her pretty face blushed and she wanted to explain.

Xin Zhao laughed and said, "It's okay, not now, sooner or later."

"Hmph, I don't want it."

Nan Ying glared at him coquettishly, but there was not much resistance in her heart, instead there was a hint of sweetness.

Xin Zhao chuckled, the joke was over, and then he comforted the Kong brothers and sisters, for example, let them stay as before and don't need to be polite.

But having said that, if you know something, you know it. Treating it as not knowing is definitely different from really not knowing.

The attitude of the two of them changed unconsciously.

But what surprised Xin Zhao was that after their identities were "exposed", the loyalty of the two suddenly increased a lot.

He has done so much before, but he is still not as easy to use as an emperor.

This made Xin Zhao dumbfounded.

But then he was relieved. After all, in this era, the identity of the emperor is still somewhat symbolic, and although the idea of ​​monarchs and ministers in this era is not as deep-rooted as in the later generations of China, it also has a strong folk foundation.

And in the final analysis, the emperor is him, and he is the emperor. It is better to use this status well than not to use it badly.

In addition, his previous actions were not in vain.

To some extent, it is precisely because of the previous foreshadowing that the identity of the emperor made the previous foreshadowing play a stronger effect.

At this time, the loyalty points of the two were already 70+, but the ambition points of the two were not very high. Kong Xiao only had 59 points, which was only [-] points.

On the contrary, Kong Xuan seemed to be more ambitious, with 63 points.

As a woman in this era, an ambition value over 60 is already very powerful, and an ambition value over [-] is really quite amazing.

Xin Zhao couldn't help asking: "Does Miss Kong have any ideals?"

"This……"

Kong Xuan didn't seem to expect Xin Zhao to ask such a question, so he couldn't help being startled, and Nan Luoying subconsciously looked up at Xin Zhao.

She remembered Xin Zhao asking herself the same question.

And now Xin Zhao actually asked Kong Xuan again...

An ordinary woman would probably think that Xin Zhao was going to punch holes to announce his ideas, but Nan Luoying didn't think so much. Her character is destined to be sensitive in this regard.

So she was just a little touched.

And of course Xin Zhao didn't think about it at all, just asked casually, Kong Xuan wanted to stand up, raised his hand to signal her to sit down and said.

Only then did the latter sit down again, and then sighed with a blushing pretty face: "I am a girl and I dare not talk about my ideals. If I say anything, I just hope to help my brother regain his family reputation."

As he spoke, he glanced at his elder brother, and the latter said in a somewhat dull voice, "It's the grassroots who are too unmotivated, always making my sister worry about it!"

Zhao Xin was taken aback when he heard the words, and subconsciously asked: "Could it be that the Xian brothers and sisters were born in the Kong family in Luzhou?"

Kong Xuan heard and said: "My son, the Kong family in Luzhou is the descendant of a sage. How can the brothers and sisters who are concubines be able to climb high? The brothers and sisters who are concubines are from the Kong family in Qizhou."

Xin Zhao pondered for a while, but he didn't think of any big family with the surname Kong in Qizhou.

On the contrary, when Nan Luoying heard about the Confucius family in Qizhou, her expression changed, and she asked, "Are you two descendants of Kong Shao, the legendary general of the Seven Kingdoms?"

After Zhao Xin heard this, he remembered that in the history of this world, there was also an era of conflicts between the Warring States, and it was also the seven heroes fighting for hegemony, and the stars were also shining.

Of course, it is unavoidable that the once shining stars will end with the times.

And the Kong Shao that Nanluo spoke of was a bright star at a certain point in that era.

Known as the Flowing Blade General, it means that once his army moves, it is like a flowing invisible sharp blade, which is pervasive and unstoppable.

The biggest advantage is fast and flexible.

The best arms are light cavalry and archers.

His most classic battle was a battle between Qi State and a powerful country of Wancheng at that time.
