Quick Wear: Welcome to the Crazy Scene
Chapter 195 The King’s Sacrifice (19)
Xiao Jiangran didn't agree directly this time. After all, there was still a Shen Jin in Qi Guang Hall. He was extremely convinced of the authenticity of both Shen Jins and tried to find a middle ground between the two opposing sides.
He lowered his head and just stared at Shen Jin. There was a mist in his eyes, which made him look very scheming.
Shen Jin knew Xiao Jiangran's personality and didn't expect him to give her an answer right away. Of course, his choice wouldn't affect her, Shen Jin was certain of this and suppressed her dissatisfaction.
She took a few steps, surveying Xiao Jiangran's camp. She reached the sand platform and saw the small flag belonging to her faction. She plucked it down with impunity and moved it to the Luo Dynasty's capital, thousands of miles away.
I feel much better.
He then took his commanding seat and looked at Xiao Jiangran, who was standing calmly at the door of the tent and just turned to face her.
He raised his eyebrows and said, "Marshal Shen, I haven't introduced myself yet since we first met."
He placed the command order on the table, and the imperial edict appointing him commander was placed neatly beside it, where he could see it at a glance.
Shen Jin pushed it a few inches to the side.
"The High Priest and Chief Executive of the Great Western Dynasty, Shen Jin."
"I wonder if you are willing to serve me?"
Xiao Jiangran remained silent.
"Mute?"
Xiao Jiangran moved to the front of the sand platform, removed the enemy's small flag that occupied the capital, and held it in his palm.
Shen Jin said, "Okay, I understand that a loyal minister won't serve two masters."
She looked at his palm, hinting at something.
"I won't make things difficult for you." Shen Jin leaned back in his chair, his eyes staring straight at Xiao Jiangran, sharp and irresistible.
"Deliver a letter from my credential to your emperor, stating that as the High Priest of the Western Dynasty, I will be visiting the Luo Dynasty on behalf of the Western Dynasty in a month to discuss state affairs and negotiate a ceasefire."
Xiao Jiangran stepped forward and just stared at Shen Jin, trying to see clearly what her plan was.
However, Shen Jin shrugged indifferently: "You don't want to make peace? Marshal Shen is willing to work for your queen and destroy me and my Western Dynasty?"
"Shen Jin."
Xiao Jiangran slapped the flag on the table. Shen Jin was not in a good mood, so he cast his eyes on the red mark on his palm caused by the flagpole.
Still so crispy.
She responded, "Hmm?"
"You want to kill Luo Shou?"
Although it was a rhetorical question, Xiao Jiangran already had the answer in his heart. It was not that he wanted to kill, but that he must kill.
"Yes."
Shen Jin did not hide it.
"I won't let you kill her." Xiao Jiangran said, "She is you."
Shen Jin shook her head: "I don't admit that she is me."
She was not angry at Xiao Jiangran's opposition, but was rather doting and extremely tolerant, as if she was looking at a young person who was throwing a tantrum.
She was certain that Luo Shou would die.
She said: "I don't recognize her, so she is just Luo Shou now."
……
The conversation between the two ended with Shen Jin leaving his tent. Shen Jin's visit spread the news of peace talks between the two camps, and although there were occasional minor frictions, major battles were largely suspended.
Amidst the widespread rumors of both sides seeking peace, there were also a few inexplicable romantic rumors, such as the Marshal's secret affair with the enemy leader...
Xiao Jiangran did not hand over the letter of peace, but Shen Jin still sent someone to place a letter of credence on Luo Shou's desk.
Luo Chao retreated.
Xiao Jiangran also returned victoriously, but Shen Jin followed his team back to the capital on the pretext of being a colleague.
"Reporting, the Marshal's army has been stationed outside the Jiading Pass and will arrive in Beijing in three days. The Western Dynasty troops are accompanying our Luo army and are also stationed outside the Jiading Pass. We need your clearance order."
Luo Shou received the military order during the morning court session and sent a eunuch to read it out in public.
The golden, jade and pearl curtains obscured the emperor's appearance, making it impossible to discern his expression. His tone sounded casual, but his heart was unpredictable and no one knew what she intended.
"My dear ministers, what do you think? Should I issue this clearance order or not?"
After a commotion, a civil official from the Prime Minister's faction was the first to speak. He was filled with righteous indignation, his tone high and his resolve unwavering: "Your Majesty! Daluo and the remnants of the Western Dynasty are old enemies. Throughout history, there has never been a precedent for seeking peace!"
"Our dynasty's generations of wise rulers and loyal ministers have all made it their long-cherished wish to destroy the remaining evildoers. There is absolutely no reason for us to seek peace!"
The people of the court were furious, and they wanted to fight the remnants of the Western Dynasty for a hundred rounds on the spot to prove their loyalty with blood.
Luo Shou smiled and said, "Okay, then you will lead the guards to Jiading Pass and capture the remaining criminals for me, how about that?"
"I heard that the High Priest of the Western Dynasty is also on this trip. If you chop off the High Priest's head, what do you think? I will make you a marquis."
Luo Shou didn't seem to be joking. She even instructed the eunuch to hand her a pen and issue an imperial decree on the spot.
"His Majesty!"
He quickly knelt down and shouted, "Your Majesty, please think twice."
"Hey."
Luo Shou put down his pen and shook off the dust that hadn't stained his sleeves. "Do you have any objections, my dear?"
Another person came forward.
"For a thousand years, our Daluo has been at war with the remnants of the Western Dynasty. This has cost our people countless lives and countless casualties, with each successive dynasty. Our Daluo is also riddled with wounds. If we can cease the fighting and recuperate, and wait until our troops are well-fed and our country is strong, then we can launch our attack!"
"Your Majesty led the battle, and General Shen fought the enemy in the rear. The remaining rebels, grateful for the emergence of talented people in Daluo, sent the priests to sue for peace. Why not grant them this once, and buy time for Daluo's revival?"
Let them say everything, good or bad.
Luo Shou's eyelashes drooped slightly, his left hand resting on his forehead. He felt completely bored. He was so bored that he had nothing to do but listen to these "loyal ministers" talk about military affairs on paper, which made no progress at all.
As for seeking peace...
Her intuition told her that this high priest who suddenly appeared was not here with good intentions.
Looking further away, through the glazed windows of the Golden Palace, you can see the Luo military flag fluttering on the Fengshan Terrace.
She personally planted the military flag on the Fengshan platform, took control of the jade seal, and swore to heaven and earth that she would protect the people of Daluo for her entire life.
As long as she doesn't die, the Daluo Dynasty will never perish.
"Minister Li, bring my clearance order and invite the High Priest of the Western Dynasty... to the capital."
"Sir, obey the order."
Luo Shou left first, and then heard the ministers complaining, "Your Majesty is becoming more and more arbitrary."
"Alas... my future is bleak."
"Prime Minister, how is your grandson these days?"
"Your Highness Roth wasted several years of his life. However, he has recently been studying and has mastered the Four Books and Five Classics."
"As expected of the son of..."
"Ugh……"
Luo Shou knew without hesitation that the group of loyal ministers still had evil intentions and were trying to steal her throne.
It was a pity that she had taken the lead in enthroning the emperor and taking control of the imperial seal, thus taking away the legitimate title that they had pre-empted.
In the Qi Guang Hall, Luo Shou looked at the diagram that showed the relationships between the characters and crossed out one of their names.
"Dispose of it."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The cinnabar pen remained unplaced. The tip of the pen slowly moved upward, revealing a name written bare there. It seemed unconnected to anyone, yet it suddenly stood above them all.
She picked up the pen and placed the bright red cinnabar on the top of the word "Shen Huang", but she still didn't draw the cross.
Recently, she has been away from work for a long time, and she has been replacing these parasites one by one with her own people.
"almost."
Like whispers, they vanished in the wind. The exhaustion completely dissipated before anyone could even notice it.
……
In the bedroom.
Luo Shou frowned slightly as he looked at the twins who had taken the initiative to break into Qi Guang Hall.
"I seem to have said that you are not allowed to enter the study and bedroom of Qiguang Palace. Did you ignore my words?"
"Your Majesty," Chisong said angrily, "You haven't been to the Jiaofang Palace for a long time. What's so good about this Qiguang Palace? It's remote and small, and it's not easy to sleep well."
Luo Shou asked, "Do you really think so?"
Chisong's hair trembled, feeling that if he wasn't careful, disaster would befall him. Serving the emperor was truly like serving a tiger.
Chi Liu hurriedly defended his brother, "Xiaosong hasn't seen Your Majesty for a long time. I was overly worried and overly sentimental, which led to my incorrect statement. This vast land, where you are, is a treasured and blessed place..."
"Okay, go back."
Luo Shou was good-tempered and let them go, but only expelled them from Qi Guang Hall.
After the gate closed, she chuckled and said, "The Marshal shouldn't be at Jiading Pass tonight. Why is he in my Qiguang Palace?"
Xiao Jiangran breathed a sigh of relief and jumped down from the beam. He really thought that his timing was unfortunate, as he had caught the rumored two people sleeping together.
"Have I broken into His Highness's bedroom?"
Perhaps he himself did not notice that his lips and cheeks were pale and he was extremely nervous on the beam.
Luo Shou poured a cup of hot tea and pushed it over: "Why do you compare yourself with them?"
"Nuan Nuan."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Luo Shou did not correct Xiao Jiangran's way of addressing him. He just let him call him whatever he wanted.
"Why did you return to Beijing early?"
She and the others finished their tea, and only after their lips were moistened and blushed did they talk about business.
"Have you got a meal yet?"
……
Xiao Jiangran shook his head.
So, before he got down to business, another group of palace servants lowered their heads, looked straight ahead, and quietly and quickly filled Luo Shou's desk with food.
"Eat first."
She always has an inexplicable persistence in this regard.
"Do you know who the High Priest of the Western Dynasty is?"
Xiao Jiangran swallowed the pastry and asked.
"nature."
Luo Shou remained calm as he also picked up a piece of white jade cake and examined it. "The rumor is that your mistress brought her into your main tent the first time they met, huh?"
……
Xiao Jiangran sat up straight silently.
He said: "It's an old acquaintance, but not..."
The word "mistress" is really hard to say.
How could she use the pornographic word "mistress" to describe him and Shen Jin, that is, him and herself?
And why does this rumor exist?
Luo Shou chuckled: "Don't be nervous, I know this is just a joke."
Xiao Jiangran: ...
"Tell me, why do you mention the high priest?"
Xiao Jiangran stared into her eyes, not missing any change in her expression, and spoke word by word: "Your Highness, the high priestess said that her name is Shen Jin."
Luo Shou's pupils shrank for a moment, but returned to normal in an instant, enough for Xiao Jiangran to notice.
I thought to myself that the two of them did know each other, and began to speculate the timeline of their meeting.
Theoretically, Shen Jin and he entered this new instance at the same time, but Shen Jin's arrival should have been earlier than his. After all, when he arrived, he already had the reputation of General Qi Guang.
Luo Shou seemed not to know him, but was still very tolerant. The familiarity and habit revealed deep in his soul told him that Luo Shou was Shen Jin, but he had lost his memory for some reason and was immersing himself in playing the role of Luo Shou.
Shen Jin, who had regained his memory, appeared out of nowhere when he was about to break through the Western Dynasty's defense line.
He was extremely sure that the fighting in the previous few months was not Shen Jin's doing, otherwise it would not have been so easy for him to advance the front line. Moreover, Shen Jin's pride would not allow her to lead her troops to defeat.
So, why did Shen Jin end up in Luo Shou's body, why did he lose his memory, and why did he give up Luo Shou, create a new body, and claim that he was Shen Jin?
Wouldn’t it be simpler to use Luo Shou’s ready-made identity as emperor?
Just as Xiao Jiangran was brainstorming, he heard Luo Shou's voice faintly.
"You said your name is Huang."
"I grant you the surname Shen, and you gladly accept it. So, it seems you and Shen Jin have a close relationship?"
Xiao Jiangran decided to jump out of this inexplicable questioning session, so he asked: "Your Highness is unwilling to give me the surname Luo, but thinks I am unworthy?"
"Your Highness also bestowed the surname Shen. Isn't this related to Shen Jin?"
Luo Shou put the white jade cake back on the tray: "The Marshal is really good at changing the subject."
"Your Highness."
Xiao Jiangran sighed: "You haven't told me how you and Shen Jin met."
"Instead of asking her, you might as well ask me." Another figure descended from the sky, and sat opposite Luo Shou as if no one was around.
Shen Jin sat down cross-legged and said, "What can a child with barely grown hair and no ability to read say?"
"Shen Jin!"
Xiao Jiangran took a half step back, feeling that he shouldn't be there at this time. But his movement attracted the attention of the two people.
Luo Shou: "Marshal, why are you hiding?"
Shen Jin: "It seems that you are really worried that I will kill her."
How could he be so bold as to want to kill an emperor and expose it right in front of her?
Luo Shou was not surprised at all.
"You want to kill me?"
Shen Jin smiled and said, "Not only will I kill you, I will also destroy your country, re-tame your people, and let your Daluo return to history."
"you dare!"
Luo Shou slammed the table and stood up, the sound of armor rustling, and the next moment, a group of soldiers holding long swords surrounded the three men.
Shen Jin remained calm. She asked lightly, "Why not?"
"Come to think of it, I can still be considered your teacher, right?"
She leaned close to Luo Shou and whispered, "Who gave you the oracle? Who named you Qi Guang? Who gave you the invincible power?"
"But you are stubborn, guarding this broken Daluo and trying to be a hero, and you are so arrogant that you think you can protect the territory."
Shen Jin formed a barrier, which instantly expanded. The people surrounding him seemed to turn into shadows, separated from him by the barrier. It was like another layer.
Her voice kept getting higher and higher, even a little sharp, with the anger of being disappointed in someone.
She pointed at Luo Shou and cursed, "What the hell are you insisting on? Look here, is there anyone who responds to your insistence? Who wants you to sit in this position? Who is willing to take the responsibility for the broken dynasty like you?"
"I keep asking you to give up."
"You can definitely build a new dynasty."
Shen Jin had never been so angry before. She grabbed Luo Shou by the collar and said, "You are stubborn and hopeless. Therefore, I will kill you with my own hands."
"If he hadn't gone to war for you."
Shen Jin pointed at Xiao Jiangran and said, "Even your throne will be taken away by others. They have already pushed your nephew Roth to the throne!"
Luo Shou was stunned for just a moment, and the next second, murderous intent gathered.
"No one can shake Daluo."
She repeated it, and the echo grew louder and louder, just like the whispers of an ancient god before a blazing fire.
