Chapter 310: The Sorrowful Monarch of Shuo Kingdom (GQ1996)
Zhanxiong is a body refiner with the power of Erjiao.
With the identity of Qingfeng Dao person, the Yuan Qi he cultivated was a majestic and powerful Heavenly Yuan Qi, if he used the Chaotian Yuan Qi, he could match the body refiner with the power of the Three Jiao, and it was not a problem to beat Zhanxiong.
Li Qiu was wearing a cyan feather coat, and with another appearance different from his real face, he drove the clouds towards the capital of Shuoguo.
The reason why it is said that Qingfeng Dao is another identity is because he didn't intend to use his original face.
He has a total of three identities, Li Qiu, the Assassin Fengqiu, and Qingfeng Daoren.
The Assassin Fengqiu only appears when he assassinates the princes and doctors, and the Qingfeng Dao people only appear when there is an unjust war in the world.
Usually, more often, he still lives as his own identity, and only in this way is it safe enough.
If Qingfeng Daoist uses his original face, he usually has to use secret methods to maintain another face at all times, which is too tiring.
Shuo national capital, Shuo City.
Most of the capitals and palaces of the vassal states were named after their own countries.
When he arrived outside the city, Li Qiu pressed the cloud head, dissipated his vitality, and walked towards the capital.
Outside the Shuo Palace, the palace guards saw a young man wrapped in green clothes, with hosta hairpins, elegant demeanor, and fairy wind, walking towards this side, and couldn't help but say loudly.
"Shuo Palace is important, and people stop coming. β
Looking at his temperament, he is not like ordinary people, and the tone of the palace guard is not the slightest cold, but slightly polite.
Li Qiu approached, and only then did he speak slowly.
"I heard that the Red Fire Thieves will loot the Shuo country in seven days, and this Qingfeng has come to help the people of the Shuo country in order to prevent the people of the Shuo country from suffering calamity. β
The words are calm and calm, like a spring breeze, and it is reassuring to listen to.
The palace guard was slightly stunned, and reacted after a while.
"Dare to ask Mr. Strength?"
"Late from the dust. β
"Late stage of leaving the dust?!" The palace guard was startled, and his demeanor instantly became a little restrained.
As far as he knew, the guest secretary of Mu State, who lived in the Shuo Palace, was supported by their Shuo State, and was respected by Shuo Hou, was only in the late stage of leaving the dust.
He couldn't help but be a little glad that there was no disrespect for Li Qiu in his tone and demeanor just now.
"Sir, please wait a moment, I'll go to the court. β
The palace guard bowed, turned around and hurriedly ran to the palace.
In the main hall of Shuo Palace.
Shuo Hou, who was in his forties and had big ears and a simple face, sat on a big chair in a crown robe, looking sad and worried.
His Royal Highness's faces were covered with a layer of gloom and gloom, and some even had bloodshot eyes and black circles, as if they hadn't rested for a long time.
Ping Xiangjun has a gentle and generous personality, is approachable, and has a good reputation, so he can stand out among the younger brothers of Lao Shuohou after he was deposed, and was supported by the doctors of the court to ascend to the throne of the monarch.
Right now, he and the doctors are discussing how to deal with the Red Fire Thieves in a few days.
Some say that the people will be relocated in advance, and some say that they will ask for help from the powerful vassal states, but it will take time to move the people, and just a few days will not be enough, and which vassal congress in the vicinity will receive and dare to accept the citizens of Shuo.
Shuo is located in the north of the world, there are very few powerful vassal states in this direction, especially the weak countries around Shuo are almost a water, and the strength of Shuo can only be said to be half a catty, and some are even inferior to Shuo.
At that time, Jiang Tianzi divided the princes, and first sealed the powerful princes in the Central Plains, one is to protect the royal family, and the other is that the royal family can better control these powerful vassal states and monitor their movements.
The second was the weaker princes, who were divided into the south with fertile water and soil and a pleasant climate, and the weakest princes were naturally divided into the north, which was mostly a land with a harsh and bitter cold climate.
The Red Fire Thieves were a nightmare for the Shuo Kingdom, and the same was true for the nearby vassal states, most of them did not dare to accept the citizens of the Shuo Kingdom who were targeted by the Red Fire Thieves, and brought disaster to their own country.
As for asking for help from the powerful vassal states, firstly, it will take time, and secondly, the powerful vassal states may not pay attention to it, neither of which is very realistic.
But it's better to try a dead horse than to sit still.
While mobilizing troops from all over the country to garrison the borders, they also sent a part of the army to move the people and children to the nearby vassal states, and at the same time sent emissaries to ask for help from the powerful vassal states.
After both were done, Shuohou and the doctors were still deliberating, because they still did not have a reliable solution.
When everyone was silent, Zhang Xian, the secretary of Shuoguo who was thin and had a hooked nose, had a fierce gaze, and said suddenly.
"It's better to invite an assassin, ask a powerful assassin to assassinate Zhanxiong, as long as Zhanxiong dies and the remaining Red Fire Thieves, our Shuo Kingdom may not be able to resist!"
Si Kou is in charge of a country's public security prison, and his status is only below Sikong, Situ, and Sima.
Because he was in charge of public security and prisons, Zhang Xian's ideology was naturally different from that of ordinary doctors, and he only paid attention to whether the means were effective, regardless of whether benevolence and righteousness were justified or not.
When the other doctors heard Zhang Xian's words, their faces changed suddenly, their brows were furrowed, and they instinctively glared at Zhang Xian.
Entrusting assassins with assassins has always been disgraceful and despised.
What kind of place is this, here is the main hall of Shuo Palace, the court of a country, and the nobles and doctors present are all nobles and doctors who abide by the way of benevolence and righteousness, and the ministers who govern the country.
How can such a solemn and serious place be used to talk about such a means of destruction!
Wouldn't it make the world laugh at the spread of the word that a dignified country would spend money to hire assassins to assassinate the head of the enemy because it did not have the confidence to resist foreign invaders?
"Zhang Xian, you are a doctor of a country!"
"I'm ashamed to be with you!"
Some of the doctors in Shuo reprimanded Zhang Xian angrily.
In their opinion, if the country is lost, the country will be lost, and they must not lose their benevolence and face, which will make people laugh for thousands of years!
But there are also some doctors who instinctively get angry for a moment, and then open their mouths to reprimand Zhang Xian angrily, but they suddenly fell silent, their eyes flickered, and they began to think about whether this method was feasible and whether they could let Shuo Guo survive this catastrophe.
They feel that if Shuo Guo is gone, what is the use of asking for that face!
As for the way of benevolence and righteousness, could it be that Zhanxiong led the Red Fire Thieves to invade their Shuo country and abide by benevolence and righteousness?
And these bandits, why should they talk about righteousness!
Ahem!
At this time, there was a cough from the position of the head of the doctor, and the hall was silent.
The voice was spoken out by Wei Kuan, who once again served as Situ after Wei Xi's death.
In the past, Wei Kuan held the position of Situ, that is, an important minister of the court, and only Sima and Sikong could sit on an equal footing with him, after he launched a coup d'Γ©tat to depose the previous Shuohou and support Ping Xiangjun and other kings.
Ping Xiangjun was so grateful to him that he almost obeyed his words, making him even more powerful, just like Wei Xi, he was above ten thousand people under one person, and his power was even more stable than Wei Xi!
Wei Kuan said slowly.
"Actually, the old man sent someone yesterday to find those assassin organizations in his personal name and entrust them to assassinate Zhanxiong with a reward of 15,000 gold. β
"But those Assassin Order, who may have learned that the Red Fire Thieves were about to invade our country, suddenly disappeared. β
"The old man sent people to other countries this morning to look for those assassin organizations, and there is no news yet. β
Wei Kuan once entrusted Tianwen to organize the assassination of Wei Xi, and this kind of thing can be described as a second life.
He thought of this method earlier than Zhang Xian, and went to do so.
Shuo Guo Sima Gengjiu shook his head.
"Lord Situ and you don't have too much hope for this matter, those assassin organizations are divided by geography when they are commissioned, and Zhanxiong has the power of two Jiao, among the dozen or so vassal states near us, there are very few strong people who can defeat him, let alone assassins. β
"Even if the people sent by Lord Situ find those Assassin organizations in other countries, no Assassin will dare to accept the commission. β
"What should I do about this, is the sky going to kill our Shuo country!"
Some doctors lamented that even if they didn't want to hire assassins to save the country, they couldn't help but lament that they couldn't save the country.
Geng Jiu clenched his fists tightly, and his tone was unwilling.
"It's a pity that there are only me and Fan Keqing in Shuoguo, and we barely have the strength to fight with Zhanxiong, if there is one more strong man at the same level, the three of us may not have the strength to fight with Zhanxiong if we join forces to leave life and death!"
