Chapter 964 Western Strategy
Mao Jie couldn't help but say excitedly: "The King of Qin trusts his subordinates so much, and his subordinates will serve his lord!"
Ailang stood up, walked to Mao Jie, and said, "When Gao Shun and the others arrived, you will set off. Have a good rest in the past few days and prepare for this expedition. Let me tell me if you need anything. I will meet your requirements as much as possible." Mao Jie held his fist and agreed, and then said, "Lord, the villain has an idea that he should not say or not." Ailang smiled and said, "You and I are our own people now, so what do you have to say, but it's okay to say it!"
"Yes. The lord may not know that this Queen Jingjue is not only the queen of Jingjue Kingdom, one of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, but also the number one beauty in the entire Western Regions!" Ailang couldn't help but show a curious expression when he heard this. Mao Jie continued: "There is such a legend in the Western Regions. In the legend, there is a flawless black gem in the heaven, and all the beauty and colors in the world will become dull in front of it. One day, this peerless gem could not withstand the loneliness of the heavens and turned into a stunning woman and came to the mortal world, and became the queen of a beautiful oasis in the desert. And this queen is Queen Jingjue. Legend has it that the Queen Jingjue is a peerless beauty in the world. Any man who sees her appearance will be completely obsessed with becoming her slave!..."
Ailang couldn't help laughing and said, "This is too irritating! If this is true, she would have pulled off her veil when she was fighting. In that case, wouldn't we all become her slaves immediately? Wouldn't it be easy to sweep the world? She wouldn't have become my captive!"
Mao Jie smiled and said, "This is naturally just a legend. However, it should be an indisputable fact that Queen Jingjue is the number one beauty in the Western Regions. Lord, this queen is still alone now. If the lord put her into the room, Jingjue Kingdom will be within his reach, and there will be a good excuse to interfere in the Western Regions in the future!"
Ailang almost choked by his saliva, quickly waved his hand and said angrily: "I can't handle it even if I add your wife. You even want me to take on beautiful women!" Mao Jie smiled and said, "I heard that this Queen Jingjue once made a vow that if she couldn't get a hero in the world as her husband, she would never marry for the rest of her life!" Ailang curled her lips and said angrily: "I said Mao Jie, are you flattering me?" Mao Jie hurriedly clasped his fists and smiled: "I don't dare. But my subordinates think that today, except for the lord, I'm afraid no one can capture the heart of Queen Jingjue!"
Ailang joked, "I captured her, but I just captured her, but I didn't have the heart to capture her." Then he said angrily: "Don't talk about this matter anymore. I only heard that women conquered the world by conquering men, but I have never heard of men conquering the world by conquering women." Seeing Ailang say this, Mao Jie didn't dare to say anything anymore, so he bowed and responded. Ailang called a personal soldier and said to him, "Now Mao Jie is the protector of the Western Region Protectorate whom I accepted my fate. Take him back to his mansion and transfer a team of personal soldiers as Mao Jie's guard." The personal soldier responded and clasped his fists to Mao Jie and said, "Sir!" Mao Jie bowed to Ailang and went down.
Ailang thought for a moment, left the study room and came to the room where Queen Jingjue was under house arrest. The two female soldiers guarding the door immediately clasped their fists and saluted.
Ailang said: "Open the door." A female soldier shouted and pushed open the door. Ailang walked into the room and saw the girl wearing a veil and charming eyes she had seen before, standing at the round table not far away, looking at herself with a vigilant look on her face.
Ailang smiled, walked to the opposite Queen Jingjue to sit down, looked at the other party, and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous! I'm just here to talk to you!" Queen Jingjue frowned and said in stiff Chinese: "I'm just a prisoner under the stairs of His Highness Qin, what else can I say?"
Ailang smiled and said jokingly, "It's convenient these days, and foreigners can speak Chinese." Then he said straight to the point: "I plan to let you go back..." Queen Jingjue was surprised and asked in disbelief: "You want me to let me go?" Then she asked vigilantly: "Why? What do you want?"
Ailang said: "This is a good question. There is no free lunch in the world. The reason why I let you go is because you need to do something!" He glanced at the other party, "To be honest, I plan to deal with Wusun! Wusun dares to offend me, I will never let him go!"
Queen Jingjue stared at Ailang for a long time and suddenly asked, "Are you planning to replace Wusun to rule the Western Regions?" Ailang nodded and said, "So that's it." Queen Jingjue sneered and said unhappy: "Since that's the case, why should I help you? This is not good for us at all!"
Ailang smiled and said, "The advantage is that you don't have to worry about a powerful force watching you, invading the Western Regions and destroying your country! I can tell you very clearly that I am determined to defeat Wusun. At that time, no country on Wusun's side could escape the fate of the country and the family to be destroyed! On the contrary, if he stood on my side, he could survive and continue to live and work in peace!" Queen Jingjue was stunned for a moment, then an angry expression appeared in her eyes, and she said angrily: "The King of Qin, a great hero who is intimidating the world, actually said such words that are no different from robbers!"
Ailang smiled and said, "I'm just telling the truth." After a pause, he said with some emotion: "This world is actually very cruel!" Looking at the Queen Jingjue, "It's like a forest, where the strong are prey on the weak at any time and anywhere! In the forest, the weak can only become the food for the strong, but I can promise to protect the security of your Jingjue country and protect your lifestyle from any intrusion. Isn't this a rare thing? And Wusun not only cannot protect you, but also insatiable, and he is overwhelmed by you small countries. Should we continue to follow Wusun or join my command? Isn't this very clear thing?"
Queen Jingjue was silent, as if she had already moved, but she never spoke, and didn't know what she was thinking.
Seeing her like this, Ailang knew what she was and stood up and said, "You think about it carefully, I'll come here again tonight." Then he was about to leave.
"Wait a minute!" Queen Jingjue shouted suddenly. Ailang stopped and turned around, looking at Queen Jingjue. Queen Jingjue hesitated for a moment and asked, "If you enter the Western Regions, can you really guarantee the safety and independence of our Jingjue Kingdom?" Ailang smiled and said, "Of course, I, a great hero who is so powerful in the world, will not deceive women! I will not only guarantee the independence and safety of your Jingjue Kingdom, but also guarantee the independence of all effects except Wusun.
Establish independence and security! You don’t have to worry about this at all! Under my rule, I will not squeeze you, you will live a happier and healthier life than you are now!" Queen Jingjue sank for a moment and solemnly performed the etiquette unique to the noble women of the Western Regions to Ailang, which was a bit similar to the bliss of the Central Plains, and said seriously: "I, Queen Jingjue Kingdom, I am the queen of Jingjue Kingdom, I will serve the King of Qin on behalf of the entire Jingjue Kingdom! All the gods in the sky are witnesses! If you swear to this, you will be punished by heaven and earth and will not die well!"
Seeing this, Ailang was overjoyed and shocked Xiangtian Mongol oath: "I, the King of Qin of the Han Dynasty, have sworn to the heavens here to protect the lives and property of the subjects of Jingjue Kingdom. If you violate this oath, you will be punished by heaven and earth and will not die well!" Seeing that Ailang also swore to Tianmeng, Queen could not help but show a joyful expression. The ancients all respected ghosts and gods and believed in oaths.
Ailang smiled and said, "Now we are our own people." Queen Jingjue couldn't help but nod. Ailang said, "Since that's the case, I'll tell you some things. I plan to let you and your tribes return to Jingjue Kingdom soon. At the same time, I will send 3,000 people into the Western Regions to establish the Western Region Protectorate." Queen Jingjue's thoughts echoed, and roughly understood Ailang's intentions, and then asked, "Why would it be better to set up the Western Region Protectorate in the territory of our Jingjue Kingdom." Ailang smiled and said, "Since you said that, why should I refuse! Then I'm determined!" Queen Jingjue nodded, and then asked tentatively: "King Qin, can I stay with my tribe?" Ailang smiled and said, "Of course." Then she shouted outside; "Come!"
The two female soldiers guarding the door immediately came in and asked with their fists, "What are the instructions?" Ailangzhi and Queen Jingjue said, "My Queen Jingjue is now her own. You can take her back to the camp of her troops. In addition, send me the orders, and the guardian army will immediately withdraw. The current Jingjue army is our friendly army." The two female soldiers looked at Queen Jingjue with strange eyes and responded to Ailang. Queen Jingjue was a little surprised to see that the other party was so happy, and couldn't help but say gratefully: "Thank you, King Qin!" Ailang smiled and said, "If you need it, you can send someone to notify me..." After a pause, "Well, I have said everything I should say, I will leave first." Then he turned around and left.
Ailang returned to the bedroom behind and saw that Huang Yueying had already gotten up. She was sitting in front of the bronze mirror to dress up. A gorgeous and charming temperament immediately rushed over. Ailang couldn't help but feel amazed, walked forward, hugged Huang Yueying's shoulder from behind and kissed her delicate face. Huang Yueying felt embarrassed, looked at the maid who was hanging her head next to her, and whispered: "I did something bad early in the morning!"
Ailang looked at Huang Yueying in the bronze mirror and smiled and said, "What's the point of doing this? I really want to do it. I'm afraid you can't stand it!"
Huang Yueying couldn't stand Ai Lang's words, spat, blushed and said angrily, "Words and whispers!" Then she changed the subject: "By the way, have you ever met Mao Jie and Queen Jingjue? What's the situation?" Ai Lang said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Madam's magic tricks will naturally not exceed the wife's expectations!" Huang Yueying smiled sweetly and said, "Since that's the case, there is no need to change the plan." Ai Lang nodded.
Thinking of Mao Jie's incident, he asked curiously: "Yueying, that Mao Jie, what's the matter with great kindness? What's going on?"
Huang Yueying smiled and said, "Actually nothing. When our army captured Xuchang, Mao Jie's family was among the rescued people. But this matter was only known later. Yesterday, my younger sister just handed Mao Jie's mother's letter to Mao Jie." Ai Lang suddenly realized and nodded and smiled, "So that's the case!"
