Return of the Swallow

541 Asking for Marriage (4)

After being rejected continuously, Zhou Meng felt very dissatisfied. The officials sitting on both sides were familiar with Zhou Meng and discovered that their county king was on the verge of anger..

Zhou Meng is unique in Xiyuesu, especially when it comes to'female' and sexuality. None of Xiyue's'women' will resist becoming his'women'.

But Qin Yining's place made him deflate repeatedly, which really made him very depressed.

The original gentleness also lost patience because of the failure to coax people into his hands.At this time, Zhou Meng was the overbearing caller.

"Since you don't want to eat wine, you don't have to. But this king invites you to today's dinner, and there is one thing that needs to be explained to you in front of the ministers."

Zhou Meng's voice fell, and the hall became quiet.The family members of the courtiers retreated even more wittily. Only Zhou Meng and a dozen officials from Xiyue were left in the house, plus Qin Yining and the three people she brought.However, the more than twenty soldiers that Zhou Meng had brought with him still held the hilt of the knife and surrounded Qin Yining in a semi-enclosed shape, and there was a faint tendency to attack.

Qin Yining turned his eyes to see the left and right forms clearly, then smiled and said, "The prince, please speak."

Zhou Meng didn’t sell the gates, and said bluntly: “Your arrival is indeed the same as the description in the sacred book of the Xiyue Church that we believe in, so everyone believes that you are a goddess who can bring food and a good harvest. This king I don't deny this statement, but you and your people did step into the desert of no man's land because of some reason. This is a fact that even smart people cannot refute. Are you right?"

Qin Yining chuckled lightly and said, "What the princess wants to say, just say it bluntly."

Zhou Meng said: "Okay, the king will tell you directly. We Xiyue people have been here for more than a hundred years. We have been worried that the resources on this oasis will be limited, and we will run out of food sooner or later, so we have been We’re exploring the way out. We haven’t found our way for a hundred years, let alone you just come? So I said something inappropriate, you and your people will probably stay here for the rest of your life."

Qin Yining's heart jumped violently.

In fact, Zhou Meng was telling the truth.When she was'forced' into the no-man's land by the Tatar chasing soldiers, she already knew that she might not be able to get out.I am afraid that I will never see my family again in my life.But even though I understood it in my heart, it was another thing to be said in person.

Qin Yining has been paralyzing herself these days. Ever since she woke up in a coma, she has forced herself not to think about it in a random way. She forced herself to live it off, and the past day counted as a day.

But when Zhou Meng unrelentingly revealed this plain truth, the very good despair that had been hidden by Qin Yining still gushed out uncontrollably, as if his body was suddenly thrown into the cold water, surrounding The coldness and suffocation made her wish she could just die.

Qin Yining felt violent sadness and despair in her heart, but she couldn't express it at this time, and she would never give people any opportunity to negotiate.

Qin Yining smiled lightly and said: "The county king's analysis is only one-sided. What you cannot do, we may not be able to do it."

Zhou Meng laughed mockingly, "Don't try to be calm. No one here is a fool, you can't get out of this desert!"

Standing up, Zhou Meng stepped down the steps and turned abruptly. The wide hem was driven by his movements to unfold behind him. He opened his arms and said with excitement, "You said you can walk out of the desert? If you can, Why did you come here aimlessly? I tell you! That uninhabited land takes at least a dozen lives of our Xiyue people every year! Those who escaped by chance said that the desert terrain outside. The landforms are changing rapidly, and the place was flat in the first moment, but in the next moment, it may be blown out of a sand dune!

"Besides, the environment there is extremely harsh, with sandstorms at every turn, blinding people from the sky and the sun! It is possible to close your eyes by the wind and sand, and then you can't tell which one you are. Those who came in the direction were completely lost and lost their way!

"There is no food, no drink, the environment is bad, the direction is unclear, and you are not afraid to walk aimlessly in the desert? You have already experienced it once, you have lost half your life, and now you still have the courage to brag about leaving the desert. , I really admire you! Haha!"

Zhou Meng laughed loudly at the end.

Zhou Meng’s words were clearly understood by everyone present. Except for Su Rina and Ulan who didn’t understand what he said, everyone had a dignified look, especially Uncle Arhan, who had personally experienced the desert. People naturally know that what Zhou Meng said are facts.

The'color' of Qin Yining's face did not change, but the hands hidden under the cloak were tightly clenched into fists, and the nails pinched out several pale crescents on the palms of her hands.

It is precisely because Zhou Meng is telling the truth that she feels that every word is stuck in her heart.When she said that she could leave the desert, she was indeed bragging and encouraging herself.

She doesn't believe that she will be completely separated from her parents and family, and will stay in this oasis for the rest of her life to live a life of isolation.

Zhou Meng saw that Qin Yining's expression was still indifferent, as if unmoved, he immediately said: "You are your patriarch. Are you responsible for the lives of your people? Since you can't leave, you are destined to be here. It's been a lifetime here, why don't you think about my last proposal?

"The best combination of two nations is marriage. If you want my people to accept your people and let them share the resources of this oasis, we first marry together, which is the only way. You will never do it for your own sake. 'Don't care about the life and death of your people?"

As he spoke, Zhou Meng suddenly winked at the soldiers behind Qin Yining.

The twenty-odd people immediately'drew' the sharp swords and made a gesture of preparation for attack.

Ulan and Su Rina exclaimed in surprise, blocking Qin Yining, and Uncle Arhan even put out his posture and prepared to grab a weapon.

——Just now when he entered the palace, his weapon was found.

"You better agree to me now. Otherwise, my soldiers will level your camp, and the three people around you will become dead souls under the sword." Zhou Meng stood with his hands in his hands and looked at Qin Yining proudly.

The cold light was beside him, Qin Yining looked at Zhou Meng who was already in a crazy state, but his heart calmed down.

"The prince's mean, let me marry you?" Her voice was gentle and calm, which seemed incompatible with the tense atmosphere in the palace.

Zhou Meng's face was happy, and he nodded and said, "That's exactly what you mean. You marry me and be my princess, your tribesmen and my tribesmen intermarried, and then our two tribes merged into one. This oasis thrives and thrives, looking for a way to leave together. In this way, we no longer have to guard against each other's suspicions, and all resources can be shared. Even if we can’t leave here, the food seeds you bring are enough for us to cultivate here and be self-sufficient. Is it good to be self-sufficient?"

If Qin Yining is not married and has no sorrow in her heart, such an arrangement is indeed a way to maximize her interests, because she has always felt that marriage has been the order of her parents since ancient times, and she did not know her before marriage. There are many "women" who are marrying talents or stupid people. If you are unlucky to marry a poppy, you can only admit that you are unlucky.So she didn't care who she married.

But the problem is that she now has a part in her heart.If a good woman does not serve her second husband, how can she marry another person?

Qin Yining did not immediately answer, but instead asked: "What the prince said is reasonable. But you already have four princesses. According to your Xiyue teaching sacred book, the goddess must be the county. The king's concubine, should it refer to the concubine's main family?"

Seeing that she was relieved, Zhou Meng immediately said with joy: "It's easy! If you are willing to marry me, I don't want any of the four'women' and the rest of the'waiting' concubines. I will drive them all away. Go, what do you think?"

As soon as these words came out, all the officials in the hall took a breath.

Unexpectedly, the county prince had invested such a large capital for a'woman'!The harem is going to be dismissed!

Qin Yining looked at Zhou Meng's scorching eyes, and for a while, she felt goose bumps and fought millets, and resisted to show her boredom.

Seeing Qin Yining's silence, Zhou Meng suddenly sneered.

"You don’t have to agree. Tell you the truth. Around your tribe’s camp, this king has already set up ambushes and prepared a lot of oil to burn everything! Otherwise, why do you think this king arranges them in the most remote place? ?

"If you agree, it's fine. If you refuse, this king will immediately pay your people at all costs. I have never been angry with me in my life, and I will be able to get what I want! Nothing for you' The girl keeps stubbornly low, I would rather not have your forage and grass, I would rather be when you have never appeared!"

Speaking of this, Zhou Meng stepped forward, holding the case in front of Qin Yining with both hands, leaning over to her and said, "If you don't believe me, you can try!"

The swords in the hands of the soldiers standing behind Qin Yining were also handed forward again, almost poking Ulan and Su Rina's bodies.

Uncle Arhan was rushed out of his head in a cold sweat, and said angrily: "You are so deceiving! I have never seen such a shameless'forcing' marriage!"

"You better keep your mouth clean! All of your lives are in my hands!"

Uncle Alhan still wanted to speak, but was stopped by Qin Yining.

She is calmly analyzing the current situation.

Zhou Meng calmed down his anger and behaved arrogantly and aggressively.Such a person is most self-centered. From the two days of getting along, it can be seen that he is really the kind of person who does not care about the overall situation for the sake of his own'sex'.

In other words, he might actually order people to burn the grain to get her.Because even if the people are suffering, he is still the king of the county, and he will live a good life so that he will not care about the life and death of others.
