Chapter 175: The Other Side
Jiang Yuetang's psychological changes were quickly noticed by Jiang Chuanxiong, but because he was in front of everyone, he didn't say anything. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Jiang Yuetang, who had changed into a new set of clothes and freshened up, looked like a ceramic doll, so as soon as she stepped into the door of the dining room, she attracted the attention of players from all over the world.
"I didn't expect there to be such a peugeot and cute baby in the world!" someone in the crowd exclaimed softly.
Jiang Yuetang heard it, and his face was slightly red.
At this time, the players of the four countries were already in the Yunkelai dining room, but the Emperor of the Akeno Kingdom and his family had not yet arrived, so out of etiquette, the players of the four countries sat down and greeted each other.
Since they are both rivals in the fight for territory, even if everyone greets each other, their attitudes are cautious and vigilant, and naturally the expressions on their faces are not very enthusiastic, and the atmosphere at the scene is of course cold and nervous.
Jiang Yuetang quietly looked at the people present.
She found out that Ye Guo, Yun Guo, Yu Guo, and Zhao Guo had all sent five players, while only three of Akebono players were currently present.
Judging from the players from these countries, all of them seem to be shrewd and composed, and they are by no means easy to deal with.
Jiang Yuetang was bored sitting anyway, so he figured out the possibility of winning from the demeanor of each player.
Of course, this is difficult to figure out, after all, strength may not be visible from appearance. But of course, as long as you observe carefully, you can still see some clues.
Suddenly, someone outside shouted, "Your Majesty has arrived." ā
The crowd immediately stood up and greeted each other with a salute.
Jiang Yuetang's heart suddenly pounded, although he stood up and maintained a respectful posture, his heart was in a mess.
She actually wanted to look in the direction of the visitor, but I don't know what kind of psychological trick she didn't do, not only did she not, but instead lowered her gaze slightly, only looking at the ground.
The hearty voice of Xiao Hong, the Emperor of the Dawn Kingdom, sounded at this moment, and what he said was nothing more than empty and official words of welcome. Then came the equally empty and official kind words of the players from all over the world.
After some politeness, everyone took their seats.
After Jiang Yuetang sat down, she found that it was the second prince of Shuguo who was sitting opposite her, and the young man who had helped her and saved her.
To the left of the young man sat an old man with a gray beard and a strong spirit.
The emperor pointed to the young man and the old man and introduced to everyone: "The second prince and Qinghui Zhenren will also participate in this big competition. ā
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but get nervous.
Speaking of Qinghui Zhenren, the strategists of the five countries of the Central Plains all know its name. This person is the former first assistant of the Dawn Kingdom, who once helped the Dawn Kingdom win the Three Realms Competition, and later died in seclusion on Yu'er Island because of his health and age. Even after he gave his honor, Xiao Hong invited him to participate in each big competition as usual, but his health in previous years was too poor, so he declined, and he didn't agree to come to help until his health improved this year.
Qinghui Zhenren is a rare great sage and practitioner in the Dawn Kingdom, and he has always practiced devoutly both when he was an official and after he became a scholar, so he has a deep wisdom.
Now that he is here to help, how can players from other countries not secretly feel nervous?
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became more tense, but most of the people present had experienced strong winds and rains, so no one showed any panic.
Jiang Yuetang quietly observed everyone while secretly sweating for the players of Zhaoguo in his heart.
While she was observing everyone, Xiao Diyuan, the second prince of Shuguo, who was sitting opposite her, was also quietly looking at her.
He sat down and took a cup of tea from the table, and as he drank it, his eyes looked at her as if nothing had happened.
The six-year-old girl sitting across from him had a very special feeling from the first sight of her, a feeling of excitement, familiarity, warmth and comfort, especially familiarity.
As he looked at her, he couldn't help but think of a person he had seen in his dreams countless times.
Because of her appearance, the feeling in his heart seemed to be suddenly awakened, and he understood that the person who often appeared in his dreams and subconscious was the person in front of him.
However, the other party turned out to be a boy.
The second prince, Xiao Diyuan, poured himself another cup of tea, raised his head and drank it all.
When he was drinking tea, Jiang Yuetang also looked at him quietly, and when he realized that his gaze was towards her, he hurriedly withdrew his gaze.
She didn't have the courage to look at him, afraid that the more she looked at him, the more obvious the pain in her heart became.
In the five countries of the Central Plains, there is no precedent for transnational marriage, and there are many reasons, but the most important one is due to the political/political considerations of the two countries.
On that alone there was no hope of a union between him and her, and she was alive as a man. Besides, she was still so young, and he was not yet an adult.
She lowered her eyelids and silently studied the pattern on the teacup in front of her.
But Xiao Diyuan kept staring at her, and he didn't even hear Xiao Hong when he asked him.
Fortunately, his expression when he looked at her looked very careless, and she appeared as a little boy, so everyone didn't think much about it.
It wasn't until Qinghui Zhenren nudged Xiao Diyuan's elbow with his hand and whispered to him, "Your Majesty is asking you about Longlong", that he realized that Xiao Hong was talking to him, and immediately turned his face to Xiao Hong, and said, "There are a total of twenty people, and the capital that sneaked into last night has all been captured." ā
Xiao Hong asked again, "When did you find out that they came in?"
"Last night. ā
.......
By listening to the conversation between their father and son and Xiao Hong's explanation afterwards, the people present knew that Longlong was a leader of the minority area of Shu State, they were a small country more than 200 years ago, and then they were occupied by Shu State. After receiving this letter, the king of the Shu Kingdom was very angry, and immediately replied to the letter and categorically rejected their request, since then, Long Long has openly disobeyed, and from time to time sent people to create chaos to stimulate and provoke the king of the Shu Kingdom, this time they deliberately chose to send people to sneak into the capital in front of Dabi to make trouble.
When they began to openly rebel against the imperial court, Xiao Hong also planned to directly send troops to encircle and suppress them, but many ministers immediately came forward to stop them, and the ministers thought that the place where Longlong was located bordered by the state of Yu, in case Longlong was in a hurry and secretly colluded with the people of the country to deal with the state of Shu, it would undoubtedly lose his wife and his troops, so they proposed that Xiao Hong give them official positions and recruit them.
However, Longlong is notoriously stubborn, no matter how the people sent by the Shu court try to persuade him, he just refuses to be recruited, so the two sides have been in a cold war for more than two years.
