Tyrant I am from MI9

Chapter 73

"En," Chu Li didn't seem to want to talk more, but agreed in a muffled voice, he really drank a lot of wine, Qing Xia could clearly smell the strong smell of wine on his body, and the skin under his clothes was hot.He seemed to have just taken a shower, his hair was still wet, and his body exuded a pleasant aroma.Holds Qing Xia in a daze, as if even squatting is a little unsteady.

Qing Xia quickly stood up, wanting to put Chu Li on the bed, but as soon as she moved, Chu Li fell backwards with a bang, and fell straight on the ground.

Qing Xia was taken aback, and hurried forward to grab Chu Li's hand, and shouted: "Chu Li, get up, go to bed and sleep."

"Qingxia," Chu Li was so drunk that he couldn't open his eyes. He lay on the ground, a look of pain flashed across his face, he grabbed Qingxia's wrist tightly, and frowned in pain. , murmured: "Qingxia, don't go..."

Qing Xia's heart seemed to be stabbed severely, she let Chu Li hold her hand, and did not immediately withdraw her hand as usual.She said softly, "I'll help you to rest on the bed."

It took a lot of effort to move Chu Li to the bed, Qing Xia covered him with a quilt panting, and was about to turn around and leave when suddenly, with sharp eyes, she saw a faint red mark on Chu Li's neck.

As soon as Qing Xia's body froze, an inexplicable emotion suddenly hit her heart, she couldn't tell what it was like, but it was as if a huge boulder hit her back fiercely.Qing Xia's hands were almost trembling, she stretched out slowly, and pulled off the collar of Chu Li's neck.

Wusmeier's words echoed in his ears instantly, like thunder bursting in his ears.

"Even if you dare to refuse the Empress Dowager Xiao, will I, Wusmeier, fall into your eyes?"

There are also the ambiguous words of the Nanfu general who was repaired by her and the angry eyes of the black-clothed guards.

……

Those hickey marks instantly seemed to be burning to the fingertips, Qing Xia suddenly backed away, staggered and fell to the ground.

Qingxia's eyes were confused, thinking of Madam Zhulan's bloated figure and wrinkled face that couldn't be concealed by powder, she suddenly felt as if a huge tornado storm swept her whole body.

"Do you think it's dirty?" A deep voice suddenly sounded in my ear.Qing Xia suddenly raised his head, and saw that Chu Li had woken up, his eyes were dark and deep, and there was a trace of pain and despair that could not be concealed, he was lying on the bed, his hair was disheveled, and he turned his head to look at the stunned Qing Xia, Said: "Scared you."

"Why...why did this happen?" Qing Xia asked with difficulty, he is already the emperor of Southern Chu, what else is there to be afraid of, why should he humiliate himself like this?

"Qingxia," Chu Li suddenly smiled bleakly. It seems that in Qingxia's memory, he has never seen such a weak smile from Chu Li. He can smile wantonly. He can smile evilly, but he can smile heartily. , but he has never shown such a helpless smile. His voice is very soft, with deep sarcasm, and he said softly: "My country is all obtained by pretending to be stupid, relying on others, and selling my body. Now, you look down on me even more."

Chu Li's face was gloomy, and he looked at Qing Xia with cold eyes, as if he was looking at her, but his eyes didn't know where to look.

Qing Xia suddenly felt so sad, she felt as if someone had stabbed her chest severely, this man who looked bright and bright, what was he enduring.Abandoned by his mother when he was young, he went to another country as a hostage, and the whole world was almost against him. When he was trekking alone and trying his best to stand up, there was someone he could trust people?
"Chu Li," Qing Xia whispered Chu Li's name, a tear suddenly fell down.

Chu Li panicked immediately, he got up from the bed, but before he could stand still, he fell down with a bang, and fell in front of Qing Xia.Touching Qing Xia's cheek timidly, he said in a panic: "Qing Xia, are you crying for me?"

Qing Xia pursed her lips, unable to make a sound, as if she had been greatly wronged, tears rolling down like broken beads.

"Qing Xia," Chu Li frantically grabbed Qing Xia's hand, trying to wipe away the tears on her face.

"Don't cry." Finally, she hugged Qing Xia tightly in her arms.

"Qingxia, you don't like me anymore, do you?" Chu Li said in a bitter voice, "You're going to leave, right?"

"Qing Xia, I won't stop you anymore, you can go, but don't go to Qi An, he is just using you and won't treat you well."

Qing Xia was hugged by Chu Li, listening to his incoherent words, she suddenly thought of many things, remembering the time when she sold her body for the first time for a mission.

An uncontrollable anger suddenly raged, Qing Xia broke free from Chu Li's arm, stood up, pulled out the dagger in his boots, and said coldly: "I'll kill her!"

"Qingxia!" Chu Li suddenly stood up, embraced Qingxia's warm and soft body, buried his face in Qingxia's thin collarbone, and said in a deep voice: "Qingxia, are you crying for me? "

"Chu Li," Qing Xia's eyes became hot, another tear fell, and the dagger fell to the ground with a bang.

She suddenly stretched out her hand to wrap around Chu Li's back, and Chu Li froze for a moment, as if a thunder had exploded on top of his head, preventing him from moving a little.This is the first time Qingxia took the initiative to hug him, her small and thin arms were wrapped around his waist tightly, like a little cat, but with such great strength.Great ecstasy and happiness welled up in my heart.

"Chu Li, I'm going to kill her sooner or later." The girl's voice was muffled, like a small animal.But to Chu Li's ears, it was like fairy music.

"Don't worry, I won't let go of any of those people."

Chu Li slowly tightened his arms, and asked softly, "Qing Xia, are you willing to accompany me?"

"Okay," Qing Xia nodded in his arms, "They are all scum."

The warm breath rose in the air, and Chu Xin was overjoyed, feeling as if a traveler who had trekked for thousands of years suddenly returned home, closed his eyes with a faint smile, and fell asleep slowly like that.

The long night is coming to an end, a white belly appears on the horizon, and the sun is about to come out.

This is the world that Chu Li needs to face.

The scenery in the eyes of outsiders is often piled up with blood and tears. When you are really in it, you can truly appreciate the shadow of swords and swords and the cold wind on your face.

Southern Chu is located in the southwest of China, which is what later generations call Chongqing, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan, and even most of Tibet belongs to the territory of Southern Chu.The southwestern part of our country has always been an area where ethnic minorities gather and live together. These local governments are scattered, with many tribes and strong folk customs, which also determines the instability and dispersion of the Southern Chu regime.

Tribal leaders and family forces accounted for an important proportion of the country, and the vassal states acted independently. On the surface, under the maintenance of Southern Chu, they barely maintained a relatively beautiful integration, but in private, they were tit for tat. It has been almost uninterrupted for thousands of years.

When Qingxia saw Nanchu's military secret files, she was shocked and a little bit speechless.

In an era of low productivity and cold weapons like this, the system implemented turned out to be a voting system in which the leaders of the vassal state collectively recommended elections.Anyone who is familiar with the current historical evolution theory should understand what a miracle this is.Looking back, this system was actually created by Hu Hai, the second monarch of the Great Qin Dynasty. There was no establishment of the crown prince, and only voting was carried out in the ancestral temple.

The starting point may be good, but history has proved that the productivity at that time was obviously not suitable for such advanced reforms.With the passage of time, all countries have gradually abandoned this unrealistic system, but only Southern Chu continued to retain this system because of its unique state composition.This greatly limits the kingship to a certain extent. It is difficult for a fatuous monarch to get the support of the major vassal states, and he will always be purged when he stirs up anger and grievances. On this basis, the national strength has been greatly improved However, it is precisely because of this that a very strange vicious circle has been created in Nanchu.

That is, when the monarch changes in less than 30 years, a large-scale chaos will be caused, and the national power of Southern Chu will definitely be greatly destroyed under such conditions.This is the reason why Nanchu has retained such an advanced system but has never been able to become stronger.

Less than 300 years after the founding of the Southern Chu, Shengdu was besieged by various vassal states as many as [-] times, and the emperor was even changed four times.If it weren't for the intervention of other vassal states, the Chu family might have disappeared from China's territory long ago.

Qing Xia flipped through Chu Li's military qualifications since returning to China, and suddenly felt a burst of uncontrollable sadness.

In just one and a half years, he had been assassinated more than 40 times, and more than ten times he was struggling on the verge of life and death.During the period when he just returned to China, there were four or five assassination attacks almost every month.In the first year, he moved to the south, east, west, north, and south battlefields. The previous emperor of Chu seemed to intend to kill him. The most absurd time was when he sent him to lead less than 2000 troops to pacify the 30 people in the Pengli Kingdom. rebellion.Chuli's 2000 troops were dispersed by the people before they even entered Pengli's interior.Afterwards, he wandered among the people alone and walked thousands of miles in the red land of southern Xinjiang, begging along the way to return to the country, which lasted for more than a month.
