Sure enough, within a few days, dark guards came to report that three hundred thousand Army of Chu s were camped within thirty kilometers of the Jiang Zhou City. They might not be leaving the Jiang Prefecture for a while.
After Xie Qingrong received the news, she personally arranged to meet Gongsun Heng, and Gongsun Heng happily went forward to meet him.
"Crown Prince Gongsun is bold. Three hundred thousand Army of Chu came here as soon as they said it." Xie Qingrong held her wine cup and laughed, but her expression was extremely cold.
From the moment Gongsun Heng had sat down until now, the chopsticks on the chopsticks rack had never moved. It was as if the delicacy in front of him did not attract his attention at all.
There was not a single trace of warmth in his dark and cold eyes. Only when he looked at Xie Qingrong would there be that slight fluctuation.
"I have always thought that the Crown Princess is truly bold. She could actually turn the tide of a battle even with ten thousand men against seventy thousand men. This kind of method and strategy is something that I deeply admire. "
He lightly took a sip of wine and said.
Gongsun Heng's curiosity towards Xie Qingrong grew more and more. The woman in front of him seemed to be born with an inexplicable attraction, even he, who was not too interested in anything, couldn't help but be attracted by her.
From the time he was in Fangfang Feast, Xie Qingrong's extraordinary performance broke his sound.
The situation of the hunting grounds being almost dead was resolved by her one by one. Even after falling down a cliff, she was still able to take on ten opponents with superior martial arts skills and fight them to the point where she was unable to turn the tide.
When they were setting fire that day, they felt that it was a great pity for Xie Qingrong. However, they didn't expect that such a monstrous fire would not only failed to trap Xie Qingrong and Xuanyuan Chen, it had instead allowed Xie Qingrong to grow even more powerful.
Everything that Xie Qingrong did was recorded in his records. In the beginning, he only wanted to study what kind of woman Xie Qingrong really was, but she never thought that the more she studied her, the more curiosity she had in her heart.
This continued until he met Xie Qingrong in the Misty Mountain, saw her exceptional skills and bizarre life-saving means, and the curiosity in his heart grew more and more intense. He even felt that only such a woman would be worthy of him.
Gongsun Heng's heart was filled with all sorts of emotions, all sorts of thoughts went through his mind, but his expression was as calm and dull as an ancient well, without any ripples. No matter how Xie Qingrong probed, he could only see a trace of undulation that was like water flowing in the depths of Gongsun Heng's eyes.
Xie Qingrong smiled slightly: "Crown Prince Gongsun is joking, I was just lucky, it's not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning." However, Xie Qingrong knew very clearly that if it wasn't for Army of Chu adding another 20,000 people to Ye Jiaze, and if she didn't have the help of those martial artists, the Jiang Prefecture would have been destroyed long ago.
In this way, Gongsun Heng's three hundred thousand Army of Chu s could openly move into the Jiang Zhou City.
So that's the case, Gongsun Heng had actually planned this in his heart. No wonder these three hundred thousand Army of Chu s came so fast, even the Black Tortoise was able to intercept the news.
The Crown Princess knew whether she was lucky or not. If you don't have business, why would you not visit the Three Treasures Palace? Gongsun Heng played with the wine cup in his hand as he watched Xie Qingrong's face with cold and indifferent eyes.
His three hundred thousand strong army had just set up camp outside of Jiang Zhou City, and today, Xie Qingrong was inviting him to have a chat with them.
"Crown Prince Gongsun, we will not speak in secret, what is your purpose in leading the three hundred thousand Army of Chu s to set up camp outside the Jiang Zhou City? The Heavenly Sage and the Chu Country have always been good friends, but the two nations were actually very close. If you continue to do this, I hope the I can find a way to explain it to the Heavenly Sage. " Xie Qingrong's face was cold, the depths of her eyes cold.
If Gongsun Heng did not fabricate a reasonable and appropriate reason for her to stay, she, Xie Qingrong, would not be a soft persimmon that could be easily pinched in the eyes of the onlookers.
Gongsun Heng's heart chilled, and his face sank slightly. Looking at Xie Qingrong who was looking coldly at him, he smirked and said coldly, "The peace treaty between the Heavenly Sage and the Chu Country has only been signed for fifteen years, and it's already the fifteenth year. Since fifty years is up, why can't Gu lead the army and set up camp outside the Jiang Zhou City?"
"Besides, the Chu Country is a powerful country, and the strong preys on the weak. I think the Crown Princess should be clearer and more emotional than me. In this continent, other than the Chu Country, there are also other countries that are eyeing the Heavenly Sage with hostility. Could it be that the princess consort is also going to ask for the reason? "
Xie Qingrong's expression turned slightly cold, the killing intent in her eyes was faintly discernable. In terms of natural selection, she naturally understood it, otherwise she would not have stood out amongst the assassins.
It was just that after thinking too much into it, he actually asked such a stupid question and was even mocked by Gongsun Heng, causing him to clench his fists and loosen them.
Calming himself down, he smiled slightly and said: "If that's the case, then it's because I is too abrupt. Crown Prince Gongsun is kind and I presume he won't bother about me."
Gongsun Heng indifferently glanced at Xie Qingrong, his chopsticks paused on top of the Exquisite Dumpling for a while, since he had no appetite for it, he kept his chopsticks.
Extremely indifferently, he said, "Gu naturally wouldn't bother with such a small thing like the Crown Princess. I just hope that she can control her temper a little bit in the future. "The Crown Princess is a kind person, it is easy to break once you have just passed. You don't need to be alone to teach her."
Gongsun Heng's words were extremely impolite, it was unknown if it was because of his noble identity, or if it was because of something else, if anyone else heard these words, they would definitely be angered, and misunderstand about Gongsun Heng.
But Xie Qingrong heard what Gongsun Heng said seriously, and started to analyze whether he had really overstepped the mark.
Although he had something to rely on, he couldn't be too biased with his actions. Thinking about it this way, Xie Qingrong suddenly felt that Gongsun Heng might not be someone whom he couldn't become friends with.
If Gongsun Heng was not from the Chu Country, it would be fortunate if he could become friends with such a man. Unfortunately, Gongsun Heng was not only from the Chu Country, but also had the identity of a Crown Prince of the Royal Family of Chu.
"Crown Prince Gongsun's words have enlightened you." Xie Qingrong still expressed her thanks to Gongsun Heng, but discovered that besides the wine beside her hand, Gongsun Heng had not touched any of his food.
He was curious in his heart so he suggested: "What, the dishes don't suit your appetite?" Why don't you get the waiter to take away these dishes and change them into the dishes that Crown Prince Gongsun likes? "
Gongsun Heng made a gesture, preventing Xie Qingrong from doing anything as he said indifferently: "Don't overdo it, I don't have any appetite today. As for the matter of the three hundred thousand Army of Chu s being stationed outside the Jiang Zhou City, as to how my goal was, I shall not explain any further to the Crown Princess. "
