Chapter 198: Hijacking
"Is the jade festival broken, and the human festival is death?" Li Xiubai raised his eyebrows and looked at Qin Xiang, his eyebrows were full of frivolity.
"If I'm not mistaken, the Qingying Academy Palace seems to be in my Chu land, right?"
"If it weren't for my Great Chu Jiashi guarding the territory for your Qingying Academy, and if it weren't for my Great Chu Law to protect and inherit your Qingying Academy, I'm afraid your Qingying Academy would have disappeared in the north today!"
"Where is your turn to be here to teach me!?"
Li Xiubai said this, first for a moment, and the next moment the corners of his mouth rose and a sneer rose.
"In the past, there were our great Chu sages who fought with foreign enemies to open up the territory and gain the fertile land of the Central Plains, and then there were millions of armor soldiers who threw their heads and spilled their blood, far away from their parents, wives and children to guard the frontier. That's why I have such a well-dressed gentleman, and talk to me about the sage road!"
"The gentleman keeps the festival, but he doesn't know that the greatest festival in the world is the kingdom. You are a Confucian student, but before that, don't forget, you are still a Chu person! Chu gave birth to you and raised you, but for today you are here to rebel against my Great Chu!?"
Li Xiubai's rebuke was like a thunderbolt in this boundless learning palace, and everyone around felt the thunderous anger contained in Li Xiubai's tone at the moment, and they all kept silent, not daring to say more.
But Qin Xiang, who was cowardly and silent under Zhang Huanwen's words before, and could only bow his head, seemed to be a different person at the moment, looking at Li Xiubai calmly, waiting for him to pour out the anger in his heart before he calmly responded: "The general is right, Qin is a native of Chu, born in Chu and grew up in Chu. If it weren't for the protection of the Chu State, how could he have the opportunity to learn the sage Tao in the book. The state of Chu gave birth to me and raised me, and he was the same as his parents. ”
"The way of loyalty and filial piety, Qin naturally remembers. ”
"If one day, the Great Chu is in trouble, the royal court does not need to summon it, my disciples of the Qingying Academy of Chu will go to the royal court to report, even if it is a pawn, there will be no complaints, because the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, and the Qingying Academy is duty-bound. ”
"But today......" Qin Xiang said here, paused slightly, his eyes suddenly turned to the people around him, and swept over their bodies one by one.
"But today, you have come to be invited by the Boundless Academy to participate in the Confucian Conference. ”
"Great Chu is the northern dynasty, and everything is headed by Great Chu, so Confucian scholars from all walks of life can come here with peace of mind and discuss the avenue. This is a Fengyue that has nothing to do with state affairs. The two armies are still fighting each other, not to mention that Great Chu has never declared war before today, so imprisoning Confucian students from all countries is bad for the reputation of Great Chu. My move is not only my people's day, but also to preserve my national dignity!"
"One of the two is a close minister and a god, and the other is a great Confucian, Your Majesty has a faint thought, and the two do not think of persuasion, but help to abuse, and put Your Majesty in the midst of injustice and injustice......"
Zhang Huanwen was speechless by Qin Xiang's tirade, and when he heard this, he suddenly seemed to have found a flaw, and hurriedly interrupted Qin Xiang with a sharp speech, shouting: "Qin Xiang! You are so bold, dare to blaspheme the saint in this place!"
"Those who admonish directly die, but those who flatter live. If Your Majesty can do everything perfectly, why do you courtiers, on the contrary, if you courtiers obey Your Majesty in everything, what kind of courtiers are you!"
"To put it mildly, what qualifications do you have to discuss loyalty with Qin like these two who only know flattery and don't argue right and wrong?"
Qin Xiang's words were loud, and everyone around him nodded secretly when they heard the words, and the old man surnamed Xu behind him even sighed: "It is said that the Qingying School Palace is declining, and when I see it today, I know that the world is leisurely, and I have mistaken the old age, with such a style as Mr., the Qingyin Academy is better than the Boundless Academy!"
Zhang Huanwen's face was extremely embarrassed by this remark, he gritted his teeth and stared at Qin Xiang viciously, and also felt that those Confucian scholars followed Qin Xiang's words, and the separation that had just been suppressed by fear seemed to be alive again, and he knew that he should end this matter quickly, so as not to cause another accident.
With such thoughts, he looked at Li Xiubai on the side with heavy eyes, Li Xiubai had long been bored with the big truth in the mouths of this group of readers, and felt Zhang Huanwen's gaze, he did not hesitate, and nodded to the other party at that time.
Zhang Huanwen, who got the response, was a little calm, so he said at that time: "Stubborn, if that's the case, then don't blame Zhang for being ruthless!"
After that, the qi around Zhang Huanwen's body surged, and the divine gates in his body surged one after another, and he was about to urge his own strength to the extreme.
"Did Mr. Zhang forget something?" But at this moment, another voice suddenly came from behind him.
Zhang Huanwen's mood was definitely not too good at this moment, and when he heard this, he immediately frowned, and looked behind him angrily, but saw that the person who spoke was the King of Wei of Ningzhou who had spoken to him before.
He sneered, thinking of the embarrassment of his son being beaten by the other party before, his heart was surging with murder, and said, "Boy, you also want to wade into this troubled water?"
In the face of Zhang Huanwen's almost naked threat, Wei Lai's face was as usual, he blinked his eyes very strangely, and then asked: "I heard that Wuya Academy held a Confucian conference here, so I came to see the demeanor of Confucian scholars in the world, and I happened to get Mr. Lu's invitation, so I participated in this matter, and talked with Mr. about the question of whether to be a master or not.
Wei Lai asked, his tone of confusion was vaguely mixed with a little grievance, one was very puzzled, and he didn't realize what everything in front of him meant.
Zhang Huanwen has lived for more than a few years, how can he not see that Wei Lai is pretending to be stupid, he doesn't want to pay attention to the other party at all, and said coldly: "Then it can be regarded as His Royal Highness the King of Wei won, if there is nothing else, His Royal Highness the King of Wei will sit still, don't come to provoke right and wrong, after all, if the sword has no eyes, if it hurts His Royal Highness, I am afraid that something will be wrong." ”
"That's not good!" Wei Lai said when he heard this: "If it spreads like this, wouldn't the people of the world be ashamed to laugh at me for not being a martial artist." ”
Zhang Huanwen, who had just turned his head sideways, changed his face when he heard this, and his heart was full of anger: "Your Excellency is really looking for ......"
The dead word hanging on his lips had not yet been spoken, but he swallowed it back alive, because when he turned around, it was Wei Lai who left Li Chenghuang in front of him, and a black dagger had fallen on the neck of the eldest princess, who was looking at him with a smile at the moment.
Li Xiubai also caught a glimpse of this scene at that time, his face was extremely pale, and he almost did not hesitate to reprimand angrily: "Wei Lai!
"If Wei Lai dares or not, General Li can give it a try. Wei Lai squinted and smiled.
At the same time, Sun Daren and Ji Huanxi Liuhuo also stood up at that time, came to Wei Lai's side, took out their respective blades, and looked at the people around them with vigilant expressions, a posture of fighting with everyone.
"Wei Lai's matter has nothing to do with you, your Ningzhou is now facing the encirclement and suppression of Mangzhou, Guirong and Yanting, Emperor Chu has no intention of embarrassing you, you can leave. If you hurt Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, then the thunderous wrath of Da Chu will definitely fall on Ningzhou's head, and even before you escape from Da Chu, your Ningzhou may have been crushed under Da Chu's iron hooves!"
"You're a smart man, you should know everything I'm saying. Li Xiubai was obviously a little flustered, he softened his attitude, and said to Wei Lai in a respectful tone, lest he anger Wei Lai.
He felt that Wei Lai was just acting rashly, and there was no need for him to get involved in this matter at all.
But what he didn't expect was that Wei Lai, who heard this, showed no signs of relenting, and the dagger he put on Li Chenghuang's neck was a little harder, and faint blood marks appeared, and Li Chenghuang's face also showed a look of pain.
"General Lee...... No...... Don't say it......"
"It's all according to his will...... I don't want to die...... I don't want to die yet!" Li Chenghuang said intermittently, as if his breathing had become a little difficult because of Wei Lai's restraint.
Li Xiubai understands what Li Chenghuang means to His Majesty, if Li Chenghuang has a good situation, then Ningzhou will be wiped out, and he Li Xiubai may not have a way to live. He really didn't expect Wei Lai to get involved in this matter, thinking like this, he gritted his teeth, although he was not angry, he still suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "Okay!
Wei came to look at the Confucian scholars present, his eyes fell on Qin Xiang and the old man surnamed Xu who were not far away, and said, "Let us go! When we retreat to a safe place, I will let her go." ”
When Li Xiubai heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, at least Wei Lai did not ask him to let all the Confucian students go, so that today's preparations would be in vain. He thought about it for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay!"
Li Xiubai's openness surprised Zhang Huanwen on the side, but after all, it was about the safety of the eldest princess, and he didn't have much to say. He could only nod to the disciples at the door, and then those Confucian scholars and armor soldiers retreated one after another to make way for Wei Lai and his party, Qin Xiang and the old man surnamed Xu had never known Wei Lai, and they couldn't understand why the other party wanted to save him, but this was obviously not the time to talk more, and after the two of them gave Wei Lai a grateful look, they hurriedly followed Wei Lai and left quickly.
When the group walked away, Zhang Huanwen came back to his senses, he looked at Li Xiubai and frowned and asked, "The general let them go like this?" Then Wei Lai is cunning by nature, if he doesn't keep his promise to let Her Royal Highness the eldest princess have three longs and two shorts, how should you and I explain to Your Majesty. ”
Li Xiubai shook his head calmly, and said: "Sir, don't worry, I don't know if that guy from Wei Lai can escape, but the eldest princess will definitely be fine, after all, even if we can't find her, the secret guards will find Her Highness......"
Speaking of this, Li Xiubai's face changed suddenly, he realized that Wei Lai's previous practice of holding the eldest princess hostage had obviously endangered the safety of the eldest princess, and those secret guards should have made a move a long time ago, but they didn't.
Thinking of this, his face was ugly, and his mouth couldn't help but speak.
"Oh no! we're fooled!"
