Chapter 8: Xia Ji Yao Jian (II)

As expected, as Tian Dan stepped on these steps, Lin Tian and Cao both saw Zhenhu's body at the same time. With a shot and a sword, Qi Qi turned around and pointed at Daqi Guo Xiang. The sword shook gently, like a poisonous snake or a tiger. It can eat its prey alive at any time, leaving no residue behind.

However, when Tian Dan was young, he also faced the tribe of Yan alone. The murderous aura of Tian Lin and Xia Ji Great Sword Master was pervasive again, and there were only two of them. So Tian Dan reluctantly supported. He shouted, "Tian Lin, no matter who you are, in front of the king, will you allow yourself to use force so roughly? Put away your weapons and step down! It delays the discussion between the king and the Duke of Cao on important issues." You're the only one who has to ask. ”

Tian Dan told Tian Lin these words, but in essence, these words were aimed at Cao Qiu. You know, Cao Qiujiu lived in Xia Ji Academy, and he didn't go out casually. Today, when I suddenly entered the palace to meet King Qi, there must have been something important to discuss. Tian Dan reminds him not to patronize the tournament and to forget about business.

Cao Qiudao's kendo attainments are extremely high, and they can be released naturally. There will be no circumstances beyond our control. He breathed a sigh of relief after being hit, and he had restrained his murderous aura. After listening to Tian Dan's words, there was hesitation between his eyebrows, and his fighting spirit decreased slightly. After a long silence, he finally sighed and closed his sword. "Tian Lin, let's stop here today. There are still seven days left before Xia Ji Jianhui. Cao hopes to see you then. ”

The Natsuhime Kenjutsu Association is a riding and archery tournament held on the first day of the month at Kinoshita Academy, which gives newcomers a chance to show off their skills and become famous. However, most of Xia Ji's military personnel were taught by the Great Sword Master and had strong martial arts that could not be compared to ordinary people at all. Therefore, over the years, few people have been able to become famous in the Xia Ji Sword Club, but they are not disciples of the sword master. However, if Tian Lin participates in the Sword Club after the 7th, he will undoubtedly become the biggest dark horse in the history of the Sword Club, and his reputation will shake the world and be known to the Seven Kingdoms.

Tian Lin practiced martial arts and pursued the ultimate in martial arts. As for the fame and fortune derived from it, he simply passed away. Whether there is or not, it will not affect your heart. It's a pity that since Cao has decided to give up for the time being, he can't be forced to continue fighting. Now, he had no choice but to put away his duck foot gun and said, "Seven days later, Chen will definitely go to Jixia School Palace to meet Mr. Forget Worry and discuss the way of life and death." ”

The king of Qi was full of joy. Seeing that the two sides stopped the truce, he couldn't help but smile: "It's been ten years since Cao Gong used his sword. Today I had the pleasure of seeing it again. Cao Gong's demeanor is even better than back then. I am very happy. Haha~~ Someone, bring me some wine. I will personally propose a toast to Cao Gong. ”

When the monarch has an order, he naturally responds. After a while, the waitress had already brought the wine. King Qi personally picked up the wine glass and handed it to Cao Qiutao. Mr. Forgetfulness did not refuse, but took a glass of wine and drank it all. King Qi took another glass of wine to Tian Lin. "Tian Guang sacrificed his life to save me, but he retired after the restoration, so I didn't have a chance to repay it. It's gratifying to see his descendants so great today. Lilin is the emperor and a general. ”

However, it was said that on the Qin Black Ice Platform, he did not recognize the messenger, and the King of Qi was appointed as the governor. With this official position, Tian Lin will be able to walk openly in Linzi City in the future. Although Tian Dan still suspected that Tian Lin was a spy, he could not attack Tian Lin again until he obtained substantial evidence.

In fact, even if Tian Dan really wanted to attack Tian Lin, Tian Lin wouldn't care. Therefore, King Qi's thoughts were all superfluous to Tian Lin. But since the other party is polite, what's wrong with having a glass of wine? I took the drink at the moment, but I didn't say anything. King Qi was very happy in his heart, and he couldn't help but smile between his eyebrows. He immediately asked Cao Qiu, "What happened to Gong Cao entering the palace today?"

Cao Qiu said bluntly, "Cao Mou entered the palace today for the envoy of Zhao State. Please let the king call him for an interview, otherwise, I will be in great danger, I'm afraid I'm just in danger. ”

King Qi looked embarrassed and said, "Is this for the sake of reunification?" However, the court officials have not yet reached an agreement on this matter. Even if I see Envoy Zhao now, I can't promise him anything. ”

Cao Qiudao said indifferently, "Is it a member of the imperial court? A group of waste, what results can they discuss? Since the king is here, and the prime minister is also here, whether or not to accept the opinion of the envoy Zhao has become a matter of words." Why ask others more?"

Now that Cao has said it so clearly, King Qi can no longer shirk his responsibility. He sighed and said listlessly, "Okay, okay, then Zhao Xuan's messenger will come to pick us up." As long as he can convince me, everything will be fine. ”

Tian Dan and Cao Qiu glanced at each other and nodded secretly. It was the limit of their abilities that forced them to let go, and promised to summon Zhao's envoy. After all, they are ministers, and the king of Qi is the king of Qi. Unless it has been decided to repeal this legislation, it is impossible to directly force the King of Qi to join the united front.

Now that it had been decided to summon Zhao's envoys, they all returned to their original positions and waited. After a while, I heard the waiter outside the hall shouting loudly, and then a middle-aged man strode in. The man was of medium stature, with large ears, and looked calm, but his eyes were clean and sharp, and he clearly belonged to the resourceful people.

Seeing this person appear, Tian Lin, who was sitting next to the second prince, couldn't help but feel strange in his heart. Because Lin Tian knew that the middle-aged man in front of him was Zhao's envoy Pang Xuan, who was given the trial task by the "Infinite God Domain", and stipulated that he must kill him to pass the trial.

Pang Xuan was holding a brocade box in both hands, which seemed to be a gift. When he walked into the temple, he knelt in front of the king of Qi, in the heart of the temple, and shouted: "Foreign Minister Pang Xuan Zhao has come to visit the king of Qi." After a pause, he turned back and said, "I also want to see the second prince, the prime minister, and Mr. Forget." "Very courteous and thoughtful.

King Qi flicked his sleeve and ignored him. "The Messenger has come a long way. Have a seat. After a pause, he added, "I know all the purposes of the Messenger. Whether or not Daqi participates in the united front is a big question, and I can't answer it right away. I beg your pardon for the messenger. ”

The second prince hurriedly said, "Yes." Qi Qin is not only a great country in the East and the West, but also a country with advantages and disadvantages. Its situation is obvious. Zhao asked Daqi to join the united front and attack Qin. What are the benefits of moving to Daqi? If that doesn't help, then the lives of our Daqi children will be precious, and money and food will not come out of nowhere. Please forgive Daqi for not being involved in wasting money, food, and human life. ”

Faced with doubts, Pang Xuan was not afraid. He smiled, bowed confidently, and said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty. In today's world, governors are vying for supremacy. What are they, and why is it useless to unite with our five countries?"

King Qi pondered: "Of course, the princes are fighting for land. Great Qi and Qin are far apart and do not border each other. With the three of you Jin and Chu Wei attacking Qin, if the population and land are divided between your five countries, there will be only your five countries. If the banner can't be divided, how can it be beneficial?"

Pang Xuan said with a smile, "It was not at that time that the Duke of Qi Huan advocated respecting the king for the first time, rebelling against the barbarians, joining the nine princes, and ruling the world. Is this also for the land population?"

King Qi was unhappy and said, "This time, this time, this time." When Dijon and Dijon were rampant, all the Chinese rulers called it bitter, and naturally they wanted to honor the king and rebel against the barbarians. But now Rondy no longer exists. Although there is a little Hun, but this is not enough to be feared. Emperor Zhou has been weakened for a long time and has no prestige over my Dao lineage. Even if you want to honor the king and resist the barbarians, who can you honor and resist?"

Pang Xuan said: "Your Majesty, this is not true. Respecting the king is not necessarily the king of Zhou. As for resisting foreign invaders, it was not for the king of Zhou. It is said that Mr. Zou Yan of your country once said that the Five Virtues have always said that there are new stars in the world, which means that new saints will appear. It can be seen that although Shizhou will die, Xin Tianzi will stand up. Who will be the new emperor? Of course, he is the one who has contributed the most, has the most prestige, and is the most trusted by the administrators. Isn't resisting foreigners the most effective way to build prestige and win the governor's trust?

Zou Yan is the founder of the Yin and Yang School and the Qi School. His status in the Jixia Academy Palace was second only to the Great Sword Master Cao Qiudao. All the officials and people of the Qi State, including the King of Qi and Tian Dan, had great respect for this sage, who was a scholar of the unity of heaven and man. Zou Yan announced that a new saint would be born, and the news had been heard by everyone in the temple at this moment. Although the King of Qi couldn't refute it, he sneered: "The Pang envoy kept saying that he wanted to drive away. Is it because all the nations are united against the Huns?"

Pang Xuan said solemnly: "The Qin people are the descendants of Xirong and do not belong to my Huaxia family. Therefore, the essence of tigers and wolves is well known. In the Changping War of that year, the Qin actually intercepted our Zhao army of 400,000. Why didn't Rong Hong commit such a cruel act? The eastern countries have suffered greatly for a long time. Especially in recent years, after LΓΌ Qinbuwei came to power, he has moved more frequently and continued to use force to invade eastern countries. Of course, it was Qin who was resisting the barbarians! When Dijon and Dijon were raging, the Duke of Qi Huan respected the king, rebelled against the barbarians, and ruled the rulers. Today, the state of Qin is raging. If Qi doesn't stand up, what will the whole world do?"

Wang Qi shook his head and said, "Alarmist words are not worth refuting. Who doesn't know that the victorious Qin and Zhao have the same pulse? If the Qin people are Rong Di, what is the state of you Zhao? When Yan attacked Qi, did you also exert a lot of effort during the Three Jin Dynasty? Resist the barbarians, resist the barbarians. Are we also barbarians?"

Pang Xuan smiled and said: "The former king was severely blinded. Over the years, the first king often remembered about it, and he always regretted it. So, to make up for our mistakes, we attacked Yan on a massive scale a few years ago and eventually avenged Qi. ”

King Qi sneered: "Since you have avenged the revenge of the Qi State, why did the land, population, gold, silver, and money ceded by the Yan State belong to Zhao?"

Pang Xuan couldn't help laughing, and Su Yan said, "The first king wants to give the rich silk to Daqi. Unfortunately, the first king died shortly after Zhao Yan stopped fighting. When the new king ascended the throne, everything was complicated and unsettling, so it was too late to do it. Now that everything is decided, the king has sent me Pang Xuan to the country of Qi. In addition to negotiating an alliance with the United States, it is precisely to compensate Qi to show sincerity. ”
