Chapter 313 Tell a story

Many years later, Emperor Chu recalled that he still had some regrets about the war against Xia. He regretted that he would believe Murong Lingyue at the beginning, which was just a drama. However, in fact, Murong Lingyue did keep each other's promises at the beginning. He was so greedy that he really wanted to annex Xia Guo, so that nearly one million troops of the State of Chu were destroyed. And Xia only used less than 100,000 soldiers, which is completely a mystery of power. Of course, without those strange weapons, perhaps Xia would not be so powerful at all. But the reality is that Xia Guo won.

"I didn't expect such a situation." Jin Yan held a child about five or six years old with a smile on his face, "It seems that I was right to leave Xia at the beginning. Thank you very much. If it weren't for you, I would probably have died, and now there is nothing left.

Jiang Mozhu sat on the rattan chair and looked at the sky for a long time. He said slowly, "Thank others, this is not your style. I think you also wanted to kill your brother. Although he was your half-brother, in the end, he also had the same blood as you.

"You're right. I really hated him at the beginning." Jin Yan said, "It's just that I didn't expect that he would eventually unify the whole world."

"Why do you think he can unify the whole world?" Jiang Mozhu gently shook the paper fan, and his tone was a little lonely.

"Do you still need to ask? The world knows that it is because of Murong Lingyue's relationship." Jin Yan said, "Without Murong Lingyue, it is impossible to become a king with his weak personality, let alone unify the world."

Jiang Mozhu asked, "I didn't expect that after so many years, you still think he was very weak. Alas, I thought you should be able to figure it out over the years."

"Isn't it?" Jin Yan said, "There is no Murong Lingyue in the five countries..."

Before Jin Yan finished speaking, Jiang Mozhu interrupted him and said, "It's not like this at all. Murong Lingyue is indeed a very important reason, but in the final analysis, it is because Xia Wuchen himself has a ability to persuade others."

The ability to persuade others? I think your ability is very strong. Jin Yan said, "Everyone inexplicably listens to you and helps you. Doesn't this mean that you are better than Xia Wuchen?"

"Awesome?" Jiang Mozhu smiled bitterly and said, "I don't feel it at all. At least Murong Lingyue would rather force me to death to save him. It's exactly the same as what happened many years ago. It's like it's set. Ha ha, it's uncomfortable to be forced to die again."

"Why, you are only allowed to force others to die, but not others to force you? Don't forget that Xiao Ruyan was forced to die by you. Jin Yan said.

"Well, I forced you to die." Jiang Mozhu said, "Your son is hungry. Take him to eat something."

Huh? How can you know more than me?"

"Most children look the same. What don't you know?" Jiang Mozhu said, "Use more snacks, and you will naturally know what they are thinking."

"I want to play with my uncle." Jin Ruo timidly came out from behind Jin Yan and pulled Jin Yan's clothes. "Father, I want to play with my uncle."

"Well, my biological father is not as good as you. It's really chilling." Jin Yan said with a smile, "Well, I really don't understand why this child always likes to pester you. Ruo'er, tell your father why he likes to play with his uncle?"

Jin Ruo said in a milky voice, "Because uncle can tell stories, uncle can tell stories."

"Tell a story? Oh, I'm interested in listening to it." Jin Yan said, "Do you mind if I listen to the story here?"

Jiang Mozhu said slowly, "I mind very much. Stories told to adults are different from stories told to children."

"Then tell a story that is suitable for both children and adults."

Jiang Mozhu sighed and said, "Well, since you want to stay and listen to the story, let me think about it."

As soon as Jin Yan heard that Jiang Mozhu promised to tell a story, he immediately laughed, and then walked to Jiang Mozhu's rattan chair and looked at him expectantly: "Uncle, tell a story quickly."

"Don't worry, let uncle think about it." Jiang Mozhu said softly, "What story do you want to hear?"

Jin Ruo tilted her little head and thought for a moment: "As long as it's a story told by uncle, Ruo'er likes to listen to it."

"Well, uncle will tell you a princess's story." Jiang Mozhu turned his head and thought, "But will this story be too cruel to you?"

"Uncle tells the story of the princess." Ruo'er said, "If you want to listen to the princess's story, uncle, tell it quickly."

Jiang Mozhu said slowly, "A long time ago, a princess came to Linguo with a maid and a horse. Because of the marriage contract, the king must take the princess."

"Why the king? Shouldn't it be a prince? Ruo'er pouted and said with some dissatisfaction, "Princess should match the prince."

"Ruo'er, you can't talk when listening to the story." Jiang Mozhu said slowly, "After the king saw the princess, because he had a marriage contract, even if he didn't like the princess, he must get married. However, the princess is unruly and capricious, and her appearance is unsatisfactory. Most importantly, she is very vicious and often beats her maid. If you were an ordinary person, you might not want to marry that princess. But this kingdom is too weak. He grew up under the orders of others, so there is nothing he can do about the princess holding the marriage contract.

Jiang Mozhu paused and then said, "After a long time, the king found that the maid beside the princess was gentle, beautiful and understanding. It didn't look like a maid at all. Suddenly, one day, the king saw the maid crying secretly and knew that he must have been beaten by the princess again. So the king comforted the maid, and the maid told the king that she was the real princess, and now the princess was just a fake. After hearing this, the king was shocked and asked the maid why she didn't say it at first. So the maid said that because she fell in love with the king from the first sight, and the fake princess also used the horse as a threat, which was a horse that could only tell the truth. The fake princess threatened to kill the king if she told the truth. The king was angry and moved when he heard it. Therefore, the king killed the fake princess with lightning speed.

Jin Yan dragged his chin and said, "What a strange story."

"What do you think of this story?" Jiang Mozhu tilted his head and asked, "Why, Ruo'er's expression seems to be thinking about something."

"Ruo'er thinks that the maid is not a princess."

"Hmm?" Jiang Mozhu smiled and asked, "Why does Ruoer think that the maid is not a real princess?"

"Because the princess can't be understanding." Ruo'er said, "Uncle, what about the horse that can only tell the truth?"

"It was killed." Jiang Mozhu said slowly, "When the maid told the truth to the king, she was killed."

Ruo'er thought for a moment and nodded, "The maid is definitely not a princess. Because if Ma, who will tell the truth at the beginning, sees the identity exchange between the two, the person will definitely speak. And, a little stranger..."

"Oh?" Jiang Mozhu asked, "Did you find anything?"

"The king has become strong, strong enough to kill his wife." Ruo'er said, "That's the wife who lives with him."

"Ruo'er is really smart." Jiang Mozhu narrowed his eyes and said, "That Ruo'er, do you think the king did it right?"

"Yes." Ruo'er nodded with certainty.

"Why?" Jiang Mozhu asked.

"Because the king is a king, whether he is weak or not, he is a king. As long as the king is a king, there will be a fate of being overthrown. Therefore, if you can't be a king, you can't even do it. It seems that Ruo'er still likes to be simpler.

Jiang Mozhu touched Ruoer's head with a smile and said, "Very good."

"Are you trying to tell me that Xia Wuchen is the king?" Jin Yan narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment and said, "I think that maid is very brave. In case she is found, it will be a great thing."

"Oh?" Jiang Mozhu said, "Even if the maid is not a princess, it doesn't matter."

"Why?" Jin Yan asked doubtfully, "If you know the truth, it will be very atmospheric."

"It's a little bit angry, but it should be more happy than being angry." Jiang Mozhu said, "For the king, there is no difference between a maid or a princess. The king does not take his identity, but a person. Besides, having a stronger wife than yourself is what no man would want, of course you are an exception.

Jin Yan scratched his nose and was a little embarrassed: "Are you laughing at me?"

"No, no." Jiang Mozhu said with a smile, "There are always exceptions. Ruo'er, after the story, how about going back to dinner?

"Hmm." Ruo'er nodded and tilted her little head and said, "Next time Ruo'er wants to listen to uncle
