Chapter 10: In Three Days (Part II)
Tian said, "Only one person, but I don't know who it is or where it is." ”
Pang Xuan said lightly: "This person is Mr. Gu You, the sword master of Xia Ji, and this is the observation deck of the Jixia School Palace. Without waiting for King Qi to say yes or no, he stood up and bowed deeply to Cao Qiudao beside him. He said in a firm voice: "For the sake of Daqi, for the sake of the six eastern countries, and for the sake of the whole world, please respect Mr. Zhou and help Pang." ”
Cao is a pure warrior. So his vision of things is also simple and direct. Why was King Qi unwilling to join the united front, and why did Tian Dan support the united front? He didn't care about any of this. He only knew that Qin was a public enemy of the Eastern countries. In the long run, joining the anti-Qin united front alignment is beneficial and harmless. In addition, there is the land population of Shishbi and 15 cities. Why not?
Therefore, when Pang Xuan was talking to himself, Mr. Forget Worry immediately nodded and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Pang's envoy can go to Jixia Academy and live in Xingmen temporarily. Cao promised that within three days, whether you or He Shibi, you will be safe. Whoever wants to play your game, ask Cao Mou his sword first. ”
Pang Xuanxi's color changed, and he hurriedly bowed again to thank him. Next to him, King Qi was very helpless. Tian Dan and the eldest prince smiled, while the second prince's face was blue and his forehead was bruised. Apparently, he was already very angry.
※※※※※
Pang Xuan left, and Tian Dan and the eldest prince left one after another. In King Qi's bedroom, King Qi, the second prince and Tian Lin sat opposite each other to discuss countermeasures. Without saying a few words, the second prince was already furious. He announced the news and shouted: "Damn! Old man Cao Qiu said! I don't know the general principles, I don't know the general trend, I act rashly, I am shot by others, and I even make people complacent." This insight is not at all like that of a squire who guards the king's door and leads his horse. What else is he called a blade master? He's a self-righteous fool!"
The voice of scolding was not finished, and a "bang~" was heard immediately, and it was the second prince who angrily reached out and slapped it on the coffee table. The power is so great that there is a faint pain in the palm of your hand. But his anger was so extreme that he didn't feel pain at all. One slap was not enough to calm the anger, followed by another slap.
King Qi sighed, "Second King, don't do this. Cao Gong's loyalty to Daqi is beyond doubt. Although you have done something wrong now, you can't use such an insult, understand?"
Although the second prince was still very angry, since his father said it, he didn't dare to disobey, so he had to agree angrily now. King Qi took a few breaths and raised his eyes to look. He asked, "Chen Mishi, what do you think should be done now?"
Tian Lin has a reputation like no other in the world he was born in, and not just because of his fists. In fact, truly advanced martial arts are practiced with the mind, not just the body. From the national leader of the five permanent members of the United Nations to the street hooligan, he has been rolling in the rivers and lakes for ten years. Who had he never dealt with? What kind of thoughts did he not see? Therefore, in fact, Tian Lin knew all the intentions of the king.
At this moment, when King Qi finally asked, Tian Lin didn't bother to beat around the bush with the other party, and said bluntly, "There are only two possible ways. First, Qi simply agreed to join the united front and send troops to attack Daqin. Of course, if the king chooses this path, it is best to kill it first and give the head to Zhao's envoy. Only in this way can the covenant between Qi and Zhao be firmly established. ”
King Qi shook his head again and again and said, "You can't do anything." If Qi wants to be rich and strong, it can only learn from friends from afar and learn from the people around him. If you join the united front, you can't get close enough to attack, everything will be hindered by others. It's really useless. Therefore, I have made up my mind to form an alliance with Qin and implement the policy of Lianheng. This heart has never changed. Ambassador Chan does not have to have any doubts. ”
Tian Lin nodded and said in a deep voice: "Then there is only the second way, that is, to grab the peace clan and kill Pang Xuan." When the time comes, Zhao will not show his so-called sincerity, and the most reliable general will die. Naturally, there was no way to force Qi to join the alliance. ”
King Qi and the second prince looked at each other and were silent for a long time, and the second prince hesitated for a moment before saying, "Chen's envoy, now Pang Xuan is under Caomen." If you want to kill Pang Xuan and rob Cai Mao, you must first pass through the land of Cao. This...... I'm afraid it's not easy, right?"
Cao Qiudao is also a human, not an immortal. Although his swordsmanship is very high, as long as there are one or two hundred elite soldiers who are fully armed and besiege Cao with spears and crossbows at the same time, even if he is extraordinary, he will die. However, Xia Ji's status as a great swordsman in the minds of the Qi people was no different from that of an immortal. If the soldiers were really mobilized to besiege, perhaps when the soldiers had just seen Cao return, they were already weak and voluntarily laid down their weapons and knelt down and kowtowed.
The only feasible way is to send a couple of elite specialists to carry out the mission. But King Qi thought about it, and felt that those so-called masters were under his command, and they were afraid that they would not be able to stand even a round and be cut off by Cao Qiudao. Without this level, the safety of Pang Xuan and He Shibi is as stable as Mount Tai, and no one will move.
The only remaining hope seems to lie in Qin's secret envoy Black Ice Table. Just now, Duke Huan ordered Tian Lin and Cao Qiudao to bring guns to the temple. Although Cao Qiudao had a slight upper hand, he did not significantly surpass Tian Lin. If he wanted to send someone to kill Pang Xuan and steal the He's bi, who else could do it except Tian Lin?
Just now, Pang Xuan was in front of King Qi and urged Kan Kan to speak with a three-inch tongue. He used a combination of hard and soft tactics. He said that the king of Qi had no choice but to make concessions and compromises. However, Tian Lin opened her mouth at this time. In a few words, he pointed out the crux of the problem so that Wang Qi and Tian Dan would have room to turn the situation around. Therefore, King Qi did not dare to see Tian Lin simply as a warrior who had courage, but lacked knowledge, and could seduce and exploit it himself.
King Qi has been reigning for 30 years. Of course, he can't be a straw bale. He has read a lot of books and knows that there are many ways to get along with some people, but when it comes to getting along with other people, he says that he is happy, honest, and works best. At the moment, he is not pretending to be so. "There are two ways, but only one," he said in a deep voice. Chen Mishi, if you can help me through this difficulty, whether it is me or your country, the prince, I will definitely remember your contribution. ”
Killing Pang Xuan and sabotaging the Six-Nation Alliance was originally Tian Lin's experiment. What's more, this is still a piece of He's family, and the mission rewards are so rich, but why not? In addition, Cao has now become the patron saint of Pang Xuan. If you want to kill Pang Xuan, you must first go through Xia Ji Sword Master. In other words, Tian Lin's two most important things have been combined into one. Even if King Qi didn't say so, he had to do it.
In this case, Tian Lin did not make the mistake of evading, and said bluntly: "It's just that the question of Xia Jijian's meeting was raised after seven to three days." However, I will only deal with Cao Qiudao. I don't care about anything else. ”
With a hint of joy on the king's face, he said in a deep voice, "I don't mind. When the time comes, Chen Mi will let you concentrate on your work. As for the others, of course, I am responsible alone. Make sure no one else is going to harass you. ”
The wise man said that three points are enough. At this point, they all understood that there was no need to talk nonsense anymore. The only thing Tian Lin needed to do at the moment was to save her energy and prepare for World War I, which will take place at Jixian Academy in three days.
※※※※※
Where in the world is there that you can't keep secrets? One is a brothel, the other is the Imperial Palace. Before Pang Xuan left the palace in person, his words in front of King Qi had spread throughout the palace. When Pang Xuan returned to the Zhao embassy, three days later Zhao's envoys would give the treasure and bride price to the Great Banner Emperor. At the same time, an agreement was formalized between the two countries. Qi participated in the anti-Qin alliance. Hundreds of thousands of residents up and down Linzi are no longer known.
In fact, things were so noisy that it wasn't necessarily everyone in the palace who leaked the news. To a considerable extent, Pang Xuan himself deliberately caused trouble. The entire Qi country was reluctant to join the united front. However, when the state united against the Qin Dynasty, they had to first make sure that they had no worries.
Qi and Qin have always been good friends, and Pang Xuan has also received a faint report. Tian Dan and Qin's seem to have a deep collusion. What if the princes and the Qin army went to war and the Qi State suddenly stabbed him in the back? Therefore, in any case, even at all costs, Qi had to be brought and tied to the same chariot as the five allied states, including the Three Jin and Chu Wei.
Jing Ke's assassination of King Qin happened more than ten years later, so of course Pang Xuan didn't know what a dagger was. However, killing He Chibi in public in the palace really forced Qi to have a showdown. With Qi still unwilling to unite, Pang Xuan knew that his life would be in danger at any time for the next three days. Even with Cao's protection, there is no guarantee that everything will be safe. In this case, Pang Xuan just made a loud noise so that everyone in Linzi knew what was going on. In this way, it is possible to give a little scruple to those who try to "kill or commit suicide", which is not clear at all. While this isn't necessarily reliable, it's a heavy insurance policy, isn't it?
Now that you've taken a pose, do it simply thoroughly. As Zhao's messenger, Pang Xuan is inseparable from the protection of the master. But this is on the territory of Qi **, there are many people, is it more than Qi **'s team? Therefore, Pang Xuan did not take half of it. After tidying up a little, he took Heshi Bi to Jixia Academy alone and lived in the Star Gate. It is a look of letting the lone courtier do a lot of evil.
