Back then, in order to maintain good relations with the State of Qin, the State of Wei said that the State of Jin had the heart of a tiger and was eyeing the State of Wei covetously. In order to stabilize the rear, it was necessary for the State of Wei to supply a large amount of food to the State of Qin. At that time, the three major sects more or less had some objections.
Who would have thought that it was actually a method to paralyze the Qin State? Not only did they deceive the Qin State, they even deceived the three major sects of the Wei State. Who would have thought that there was something fishy about this matter?
Normally, the three great sects would probably be a little unhappy if they kept it a secret like this. However, now that they knew about it, they weren't unhappy at all. Instead, they took the initiative to express their understanding. For such a big scheme, it had to be kept secret and could not be detected by the Qin Kingdom. If too many people knew about it, it would be easy for the news to be leaked. Once the news was leaked, the Qin Kingdom would definitely not fall for it.
Now that they were at a critical moment, this preparation was going to be of great use. How could the three Sect Leaders not be happy?
The three sect masters had to admit that Xuan Wei's ability was much stronger than Xuan Chengtian's. She was the representative they needed in the secular world.
He even sighed inwardly. If this woman had been promoted earlier, how could this have happened?
Chang Lin Xian nodded his head, "Hubby is wise. Alright, let's do as you say. The three sects will support us fully and cut off Qin's food supply. We won't give them a single grain!"
Cang Feng, the leader of the Guarding Principle Pavilion, and Luo Yanzhen, the leader of the Great Joy Mountain, nodded in agreement.
As long as this matter was clearly explained, Xuan Wei didn't say anything more. She asked Jin Lingzan, "Lord Jin, how is the situation in Qi Kingdom?"
Jin Ling praised, "The three Sect Masters and I have come to find you to discuss this matter. The Qi army is rapidly assembling, but Qi's Great General Huyan Wuhen has sent us an urgent message. He has observed the movements of the Jin army and said that Yin Chu's army is likely to pass through Wei and head straight for the Western Screen Pass. Yin Chu is likely to seize the Western Screen Pass by force and we must not let him succeed. Huyan Wuhen has already ordered the troops of the Qi State to assemble a cavalry unit in the east. They intend to invade from the northeast of our Wei State and help us intercept Yin Chu's army. He hopes that we will cooperate with the Qi army to enter the border! "
"Xi Ping Pass!" Xuan Wei was startled. She instantly understood the meaning of Huyan Wuhen's warning. The Jin army wanted to prevent the intervention of the four eastern countries. If Jin succeeded, the methods she used on Qin State would lose their effect. He immediately said, "Huyan Wuhen's foresight on the battlefield is outstanding. Since he has said so, we cannot neglect it. Immediately pass down the order to cooperate!"
"Yes!" Jin Lingzan agreed. Suddenly, he said with some hesitation, "Husband, the imperial court of Qi has sent another letter asking about the marriage. What the Qi Kingdom means is that it's better to be quick than late. We can't delay any longer. "As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Ximen Qingkong.
The moment he said that, Chang Lin Xian, Cang Feng and Luo Yan Zhen subconsciously glanced at Ximen Qing Kong.
Ximen Qingkong noticed their reactions and did not know why they were acting like this. It was as if they were hiding something from her. Could there be a problem with the marriage? He knew that Xuan Wei was preparing to marry off three princesses.
But in reality, they were indeed hiding something from him, including Xuan Wei.
Xuan Wei's expression was calm as she replied, "I understand. I will make a decision as soon as possible."
"Very well, this subject will take his leave first." Jin Lingzan cupped his hands and took a few steps back. He glanced at Ximen Qingkong before turning around and leaving.
…
It was late at night and Xuan Wei's sleeping quarters were shrouded in mist. She was soaking naked in a bathtub filled with floating flower petals. Her eyes were closed as a look of pain flashed across her face.
Outside the sleeping quarters, Ximen Qingkong stood under the eaves with a broadsword on his back. His cold eyes scanned the surroundings vigilantly, guarding the person bathing in the room.
It had been like this for so many years. He had always been watching over her and protecting her.
The door to the sleeping quarters opened and the palace maids carried the bathing items out. One of the maids walked over to the eunuchs and guards outside and whispered something into their ears. Then, the eunuchs and guards left one after another.
Sensing that something was wrong, Ximen Qingkong turned around and realized that the people around him had all left.
Something was wrong. Ximen Qingkong immediately walked to the door and called out, "Xuan Wei."
"Come in." Xuan Wei called out.
Ximen Qingkong had just walked into the room when Xuan Wei's voice sounded again, "Close the door."
Ximen Qingkong was slightly startled, but he still did as he was told. He turned around and closed the door. Then, he entered the room and pushed aside the layers of hanging muslin curtains. He saw Xuan Wei sitting in front of the dressing table with her long hair draped over her shoulders after bathing. She seemed to only be wearing a light muslin coat, and her undergarments could be seen clearly under the light.
Seeing her like this for the first time, Ximen Qingkong felt a little awkward and didn't want to get close to her.
The room was silent for a while. Finally, Xuan Wei stood up, left the dressing table and turned to look at him.
Under the light, the beauty was as beautiful as a peach. Her figure was faintly discernible under the light muslin, and the fragrance in the room after bathing seemed to have an aphrodisiac effect. Ximen Qingkong didn't dare to look at her directly.
"The guards outside …"
Ximen Qingkong was just about to speak when Xuan Wei interrupted, "I asked them to withdraw."
Ximen Qingkong frowned. "What's wrong?"
Xuan Wei smiled and said, "Why are you standing so far away? Don't I look good? "
Ximen Qingkong laughed. "You look good! But I've never seen you like this. "
Xuan Wei walked over leisurely.
The ambiguous atmosphere in front of him made Ximen Qingkong realize what was going to happen. His throat was a little dry and his Adam's apple moved a little.
Xuan Wei walked in front of him and stopped. She didn't get too close and stared into Ximen Qingkong's eyes with her watery eyes. She slowly raised her hand and untied the silk belt around her waist. She slowly took off the muslin clothes on her body.
Round shoulders, exquisite collarbones, voluptuous breasts under the dudou, graceful waist, slender legs, and fair skin.
Ximen Qingkong forcefully shifted his gaze away and looked to the side. He said with difficulty, "Be careful not to catch a cold."
Xuan Wei used her actions to stick close to him. Her smooth arms wrapped around his neck and she stood on her tiptoes to rub against his ear.
Ximen Qingkong was embarrassed. He didn't know whether to push her away or hug her. "Xuan Wei, what's wrong?"
Xuan Wei whispered in his ear, "I'm going to marry you today and give myself to you. Do you want it or not?"
Ximen Qingkong's body trembled. He slowly raised his hands and wanted to hug her, but he froze. Eventually, he hugged her tightly.
Yes! Of course he wanted it!
Why did he always stay by her side? It was for her. He wanted her!
Soon, the bedroom was filled with the light of spring. Whispers, panting, tenderness, and passion intertwined. Xuan Wei fell into endless unbearable pain …
When everything calmed down, the two of them hugged each other while panting heavily.
After panting, Xuan Wei, who was lying on Ximen Qingkong's chest, suddenly whispered, "I'm sorry!"
Ximen Qingkong misunderstood her meaning. He thought she was apologizing for making him wait for so many years. He stroked her smooth back and said gently, "You didn't apologize to me. Everything was voluntary."
Xuan Wei closed her eyes. There were tears in the corner of her eyes. She shook her head slightly. "I married the three princesses to the Kingdom of Qi to calm people's hearts. But the Kingdom of Qi has a better way …"
She murmured and told him about the prince of the Kingdom of Qi marrying her.
Her voice wasn't loud, but it sounded like thunder in Ximen Qingkong's ears. He sat up abruptly and pushed Xuan Wei's shoulders. He said in a low voice, "What do you mean?"
Xuan Wei's tears fell like broken pearls. She shook her head helplessly. "Qingkong, I know better than anyone that the Kingdom of Wei can't withstand the attack of the Kingdom of Jin. I'm not the only one who knows this. Many people know that the Kingdom of Wei is holding on. At this time, the hearts of the people are more important than anything else. Only by gathering the hearts of the people and fighting with all their might can we protect the Kingdom of Wei! "
Ximen Qingkong shook her shoulders like an enraged beast. "Tell me, did the Kingdom of Qi take the opportunity to threaten you?"
His thoughts were simple. He thought that the woman would be at a disadvantage in this kind of situation. He thought that the Kingdom of Qi wanted to take advantage of Xuan Wei.
In his eyes, Xuan Wei was the most beautiful woman in the world. She was the most outstanding woman in the world. There must be someone who wanted to take advantage of her.
Xuan Wei understood what he meant. She cried sadly. "Qingkong, it's not what you think. The Kingdom of Qi is also trying to protect itself. They are also compromising. To the Kingdom of Qi, marrying an unmarried prince to a widow of my age is a huge joke. The reason why the Kingdom of Qi is doing this is because they have realized that the Kingdom of Wei is in an extremely disadvantageous situation. Once the Kingdom of Wei collapses, the Kingdom of Qi will not be able to hold on alone.
"The Kingdom of Qi is willing to lose face to help me stabilize the hearts of the people of the Kingdom of Wei. The Kingdom of Qi hopes that I can gather the hearts of the people of the Kingdom of Wei to resist with all their might. They hope that the Kingdom of Wei can do its best to delay and exhaust the strength of the Kingdom of Jin.
"Qingkong, the war is not going well. The Kingdom of Jin has invaded the Kingdom of Wei like a hot knife through butter. The hearts of the people are in a state of panic. Once the hearts of the people scatter, the Kingdom of Wei will be completely finished! The Kingdom of Qi is willing to disregard their reputation and take the initiative to marry a prince. This will let the people of the Kingdom of Wei see the determination of the Kingdom of Qi to help the Kingdom of Wei. It will definitely raise the spirits of the people who are wavering.
"The Kingdom of Qi is right. Qingkong, the Kingdom of Wei is on the verge of life and death. They really need this marriage!"
Ximen Qingkong said indignantly, "Need? What need? What's the difference between this and grasping at straws? Xuan Wei, let's not compromise like this. At most, we will fight to the death with the Kingdom of Jin. Even if we die, we will die honorably. Why do we have to beg for our lives? "
Xuan Wei choked. "Fight to the death? Who will fight? Can the two of us stop the army of the Kingdom of Jin? We have to rely on the millions of soldiers under us. Without the morale of the army and the hearts of the people, how can we fight? Qingkong, not everyone is like us. Many people seem to be loyal to the Kingdom of Wei when there is nothing going on. But when there is danger, who knows how many people will try to escape in order to protect themselves. At this time, the hearts of the people are too important. "
Ximen Qingkong stared at her. "You agree?"
Xuan Wei shook her head in pain. "This war involves the lives of too many people. If I give up easily, I won't be able to answer to my deceased parents. I won't be able to answer to the countless people of the Kingdom of Wei. Qingkong, this is my responsibility!"
Whoosh! Ximen Qingkong pushed her away and got off the bed. She pointed at the bed and said, "What's wrong with us? An apology as compensation? What do you take me for? "
