Chapter 1019 The gentleman deceived him!
"Old Situ!"
Yao Yun led the bald dragon, Cang Man and others to greet Lao Situ outside the barracks in person.
Old Situ was dusty, his old face was full of solemnity and helplessness, and when he saw Yao Yun personally greet him, a touch of complicated emotions couldn't help but come to his heart.
"Xihou, the old man is on the orders of the Son of Heaven..."
"Old Situ, it's windy outside, let's go in and talk. ”
Yao Yunchai also guessed Lao Situ's intention, and before he could speak, he pulled him into the big tent of the barracks.
In the big tent, everyone sat down, and the delicacies, wine, and fruits were presented like water, and both sides were happy to eat.
During this banquet, Lao Situ wanted to speak several times, but each time Yao Yun led the topic away.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors, I still haven't got to the point.
Old Situ was a little anxious.
After drinking a glass of wine, Lao Situ was helpless in his heart, restrained his smile, and made a straight face: "Xihou, don't pour the old man's wine, let's get down to business, you have destroyed the Juan Zhu Kingdom? This..."
The bald dragon, the barbarian and the green bamboo smiled as well, and looked at Lao Situ with a non-distracting expression.
Bald Dragon: "Old Situ, our Xiguo was ordered by the Son of Heaven to guard the southwest to prevent barbarians from invading the rear of the Southern Wilderness, is there a mistake now?"
Although you are said to be the Situ of the Celestial Empire, you have no right to meddle in the internal affairs of the princes, and it is not good to ask us about the guilt, right?"
The bald dragon's hand took the lead and attacked fiercely, and Lao Situ was a little caught off guard for a while.
Generally speaking, there is no problem with Xiguo's approach, it will be external, the king's order is not subject to it, and the princes of one side have a very high degree of autonomy, as long as they can complete the task, the Celestial Empire will generally not ask.
It's just that... Today the situation is different.
"Ahem~ The Celestial Empire is not meddling in Xi's internal affairs, but the Son of Heaven's military order is to let the Xiguo army guard the southwest, instead of taking the initiative to send troops to attack the Ba Ren Plain, Xiguo did disobey the order of the Son of Heaven, this is an indisputable fact, the Son of Heaven sent the old man over..."
The barbarian on the side slapped the wine glass in front of the desk with a "snap", and snorted coldly:
"Our Xiguo didn't let the barbarian army step into the Southern Wilderness for half a step, what did the Celestial Empire want to do with such a lot of care?
"That's right, our Xiguo has sweated and shed blood for the Zhuxia Dynasty, and has made countless great contributions to saving Zhuxia and water and fire several times,"
At the beginning, Qingzhu just sang and harmonized with Cangman, constantly putting pressure on Lao Situ, but as he spoke, the more Qingzhu thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, and the more his true feelings were revealed, the more he felt worthless for his father.
"How many treasures have we given to the Celestial Empire, iron tools, iron ploughs, oxen ploughing, paper, fertilizers, high-yielding rice seeds, sweet potatoes...
When the epidemic was raging, it was Daddy who went deep into the dangerous place to find the divine tea and saved thousands of people;
The drought swept the world, the lives were devastated, and the hungry people were everywhere.
There are so many things to mention, even if the Celestial Empire doesn't reward them, they still target our Xiguo everywhere, it's too angry, it's too chilling!
Qingzhu said, his little hands were on his waist, with a "hum, angry" look, his face was full of grievances and anger, and there were faint tears flashing in his eyes.
There was a deathly silence in the big tent, only the old Situ blushed and was speechless.
Lao Situ had prepared a lot of rhetoric when he came, but in the face of the cry of a female baby, his old face couldn't help but blush, no matter how gorgeous and rigorous the draft in his chest and abdomen was, he lost the courage to put it into his mouth at this moment.
What to say?
What people say is the truth, the Celestial Empire did make a gesture of suppressing Xiguo for the sake of power struggle and balance, which Lao Situ was powerless to refute.
Be silent and bow your head.
At this moment, Lao Situ seemed to be more than ten years old.
"Awesome~"
Seeing this scene, the bald dragon and the barbarian all gave Qingzhu a thumbs up, they never thought that Qingzhu would be so explosive, and after saying that, even the suppressed emotions in their hearts burst out.
Yao Yun was also impressed by Qingzhu's performance, but seeing Lao Situ's blushing face, embarrassed and helpless, Yao Yun felt a little unbearable in his heart.
A gentleman has his own principles and self-restraint, so a gentleman can be bullied.
Obviously, Lao Situ is a real gentleman.
Faced with the girl's accusation of "tears", Lao Situ felt ashamed and embarrassed.
Yao Yun had always respected Lao Situ a lot, and he couldn't bear to see how embarrassed he was, so he sighed and said, "Okay, Qingzhu, don't be rude."
Old Situ, I am afraid that the hidden facts in this matter are also clear, and Lone will not detour anymore, the Celestial Empire will not allow me to take it for myself, this Ba people Plain is lonely, and no one can stop it!"
Old Situ shook his head and said quite sincerely: "Xihou, the old man also understands your feelings, and logically, the old man does not approve of the Celestial Empire's approach, but... Xihou, you must know that the Celestial Empire's suppression of Xiguo is also to protect Xihou you, Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, and the princes of the world cannot tolerate a prince who is too strong! Once the balance is broken, it will be a curse or a blessing to Xiguo. ”
The bald dragon said disdainfully:
"What kind of, after the Zhuxia Dynasty swallowed the territory of the Southern Wilderness, the strength of the gods of the major imperial clans in Middle-earth has risen greatly, and it is bound to attack Xirong, Beidi, and Dongyi in the future, and when the time comes, the power will be further expanded, what happened to my Xiguo swallowing the Baren Plain?
You can't be allowed to eat a lot of meat and not even give us a mouthful of soup, can you? What threatens the balance of the Celestial Empire, it's ridiculous!"
Lao Situ argued: "It is true that it will not destroy the balance on ordinary princes, but the Xihou has a good state, the Ba people have a thousand miles of fertile land, plus the southern wilderness sealed land given in the future, how powerful the Xi country will be, the old man does not dare to imagine, and it is reasonable for the princes of the world to have worries in this regard." ”
The bald dragon and the barbarian were stunned, and they didn't know how to refute it, people boasted that their own king governed the country and praised it to the sky, how could they refute it, could it be that their own king couldn't do it?
How can this be!
Yao Yun also smiled dumbly, not knowing whether to be honored or distressed.
"Old Situ, it's too prestigious, Lone doesn't have as many skills as you imagined, and Xiguo will not become a threat to the order of the Zhuxia Dynasty. ”
After speaking, Yao Yun drank the wine in the cup, sighed, and said:
"Old Situ, to tell you the truth, it is also a helpless move for Lone to expand like this, I hope you will be considerate. ”
Lao Situ's expression froze, and he was a little surprised: "What's the difficulty?" Xihou, with your merits, as long as you collect troops and return to Xiguo Taoguang to raise your mind, the position of the next generation of co-masters of the world will definitely be yours, what's the helplessness?"
"Is this true?" Yao Yun said leisurely: "If the barbarians from all directions are here, under the crisis on all sides, the position of the co-lord of the world must be to take talents and talents;
But... In case the four seas are peaceful, the world is unified, and Zhuxia has no opponents, and the Son of Heaven is still willing to elect Lone as the co-master of the world?
Will the princes of the world be willing to fall next to the throne?
I'm afraid that the lonely situation will be dangerous at that time, and maybe one day I will be charged with trumped-up charges and attacked by the princes!"
Rumble!
Yao Yun's tone of words was very light, but when it fell into Lao Situ's ears, it was like a thunderbolt falling, and the whole person was dumbfounded.
After a long time, Lao Situ lowered his head and slowly spoke.
"The old man has nothing to say... I only hope that Xihou will be cautious!"
