Chapter 316: Raising Eyebrows and Spouting Sharp
Before tonight, Lu Qi, the king of the Southern Han Dynasty, had never thought that he would enter Zichen Palace in this way. As a second-rate prince, his strength was far inferior to that of Qin, Wei, Zhao, and Qi...... Wait for these great princes to be powerful. Even if there is a good thing, how can it be his turn? And now, he has not only entered this palace as a guest of honor of the royal family, but also a guest of honor with hundreds of armor!
Actually, seriously. The reason why the Southern Han Kingdom, which was not strong in terms of comprehensive strength, was able to survive in the cracks of the princes, and became stronger and stronger, until it has the status of ruling Lingnan today. In addition to Lu Qi's own efforts, this is inseparable from other unique opportunities. If you are specific, it is the Lu royal family that has various relationships in all aspects. And the most useful of these is that they have an extremely wide network of contacts in Zhongzhou.
In fact, what outsiders don't know is that Lu Qi, the king of the Southern Han Dynasty, maintained secret relationships with many important people inside Los Angeles. It's like Chun Yu's family, which is his old friend.
Ever since Chun Yuxian and the other royal nobles encouraged the Son of Heaven to nod and start plotting, they began to make careful preparations. In addition to the secret arrangement in Zhongzhou, in order to be more secure, after several discussions, they decided to unite the forces of other powerful princes. And Lu Qi, who had a close relationship with these nobles, became the preferred target.
Just a few years ago, when the envoy sent from Los Angeles secretly arrived in Guangling City, Lu Qi, who got the news, was simply happy to descend from heaven. He never dreamed that such a good thing would befall him. If he can't seize this big opportunity, then he won't be the hero of Lingnan!
So, the two sides hit it off, and each took what it needed. In order to complete this plan, the king of the Southern Han Dynasty mobilized almost the most elite troops under his influence. He had already made up his mind that no matter what the cost, he would use this opportunity to kill King Zhao in revenge for the hatred that had been buried in his chest for many years.
In that year, the Five Kingdoms attacked Zhao, and the Southern Han State suffered heavy losses. In the first battle of Chixialing, more than 20,000 troops from the general down were wiped out. Hundreds of warships were burned to the ground! The defeat of that war almost hurt the vitality of the Southern Han Dynasty. If it weren't for the profound heritage, coupled with the fact that Lu Qi relied on his own courage to conquer the land of Wu and Yue in time, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Such a shame and humiliation, Lu Qi must never forget. All these years, his eyes have been fixed on the far north. It can be said that everything that young man did was under his control. The increasing expansion of the Zhao Kingdom and the growing influence of the young Zhao King in the world all made him jealous and hateful. He was thinking day and night that there was an opportunity to swing his army north, hit Zhao Guo hard, and be ashamed!
And now, this opportunity has finally fallen from the sky and come to him. How could he not hold on to it? What's more, even if this reason is removed, he will not hesitate to come to Los Angeles. Because, as the military power of the Southern Han Kingdom became stronger and stronger, the ambition of this king could no longer be endured.
Standing on the top of the southern country and looking at the mountains and rivers in all directions, Lu Qi, stroking the white hair on his sideburns, often gives birth to the sigh of time. He's getting older. If you don't rise to the occasion, you'll never have a chance to realize the ambitions of your youth. Lu Qi, who has been going on for a long time, understands better than anyone that God will not be particularly fond of anyone, and what he wants must be fought for by his own strength after all. And this world will eventually be the world of young people. The princes of his time were either old and sick and died, or they were defeated and killed. And such a tragedy, sooner or later, will also befall him. He has an extremely clear understanding of this.
So, whether it's for revenge or to achieve the goal in mind. When Chu Jiangmian began to move south from the north, Lu Qi also led his most elite army, generously crossed the river, swore north, and began to fight the most important battle of his life.
With such a mood, Lu Qi came to Zhongzhou in this way, entered Los Angeles, and then stepped into Zichen Palace, and finally stood in front of Chu Jiangmian face to face. At this moment, he looked at this young enemy and opponent, and there was arrogance in his eyes that he knew everything in his hands, but also a slight surprise and curiosity. Even though he had learned all about Chu Jiangmian's situation in detail in all these years of intelligence, when he was close at hand, he still had a strong interest in him when he really saw this young man's face and temperament clearly.
It is said that when a cat catches a mouse, it does not immediately bite it to death and eat it. Rather, he teased and played until he had enough, and swallowed it again under the terrified gaze of the poor mouse. And this is also the favorite way of the King of the Southern Han Dynasty.
However, what made Lu Qi feel a little disappointed was that King Zhao, who had already been unable to escape, did not seem to be in the panic they expected. Even, the smile on that handsome face remains unchanged, and it still maintains a plain appearance. He looked up and glanced at the hostile faces surrounding him. Said indifferently.
"It turns out that you are the Han King Lu Qi? On such a hot day, you have come all the way from Lingnan to come here, are you tired? If you're hungry, sit down and eat a bite to eat. If you are thirsty, there is also wine...... Hehe! But I don't know if you're so old, you don't have such a good appetite!"
for tat, not the slightest. In just a few moments, the atmosphere in the hall had become very tense. Seeing those armor soldiers who poured into the hall, Bai Ye and Xie Mingren had already pulled out the blades they were carrying, blocking Chu Jiangmian's back. Both of them were shocked and angry, and they regretted it a lot. If they had known that such a situation would happen, they would never have let King Zhao take the risk. Now I just hope that I can see the opportunity to protect Chu Jiangmian and kill out of Zichen Palace. As long as you don't get caught up in it, there is still a chance to escape. After all, there are more than 100 ironclad cavalry from Zhao State outside the palace, as long as they converge with them, with their combat effectiveness, they will fight to the death, and there will be a glimmer of life.
However, the two of them were too optimistic. In order to capture King Zhao alive, the other party has been planning for a long time and is fully prepared. The three of them wanted to rush out in this situation, which can only be said to be wishful thinking. The next moment, they heard each other's even more smug laughter.
"Hahaha! Although this king is the same age as your father, he is still very healthy! Now I eat ten pounds of meat at each meal and drink half a bucket of alcohol. Otherwise, how could he have died, and I could still gallop in armor! I said that, did I disappoint you? Young people, they have reached this point, and it is useless to take advantage of their tongues. Take a good look around, no matter how powerful you are, do you still have the ability to rush out confidently? ”
Lu Qi looked at Chu Jiangmian who was sitting there with interest, after entering Zichen Palace, he had already known some details of this plan in advance. Don't look at King Zhao in the eyes of others as if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without being surprised, but they know very well that the other party does not want to escape, but wants to escape but is powerless! Sure enough, then I listened to Chun Yuxian echo and said.
"King Zhao, this is yours! King Han lent the opportunity to celebrate the birthday of the Son of Heaven, and came all the way here to come here to meet you. But you, as a young junior, were rude to him...... Alas! The world says that you are proud and domineering, and the old man didn't believe it earlier, but now it seems that it is indeed so! ”
Listening to what he said, he put on a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance. In the face of many people in the distance, Chu Jiangmian couldn't help but open his mouth wide in surprise and amusement. Is that okay too? I've seen shameless, but I've never seen such a shameless thief!
"Hahaha! I was originally a proud and domineering Zhao Guozi, do I still need you to remind me? Compared with the name of King Zhao, what I cherish more is the head of the four great gentlemen in the world back then!"
Chu Jiangmian's face began to turn pale, and unconsciously beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. However, in his laughter, the arrogance on his face made people feel a little scary. White Night was taken aback. He has been by Chu Jiangmian's side for many years, but he has never seen him look like this. He leaned over and asked hurriedly.
"King! How do you feel? ”
"It doesn't matter, I can't die for the time being! Take my words to heart, and don't be stupid if you can't do anything later...... You and Xiao Xie teamed up to kill it. Being able to escape one is one. This is my command!"
Hearing Chu Jiangmian's low words, Bai Ye and Xie Ming's hearts were like being struck by lightning, and their faces immediately turned pale, and even the hand holding the knife didn't feel a little trembling. Chu Jiangmian had already said it so clearly, how could they not understand the pain he was enduring at the moment!
"The Son of Heaven gives wine poison...... Despicable! ”
Bai Ye shouted, his voice full of endless grief and indignation. And those in the hall who didn't know it were even more shocked. They never imagined that things would come to such a point! A sense of unprovoked fear hit their hearts, and everyone fled to the corner of the hall, looking at the scene in front of them tremblingly, not knowing what to do.
And the person who feels the most confused and frightened is undoubtedly Gongzi. At the beginning, he was afraid that the wine was poisonous, so he desperately snatched the glass of wine, wanting to test the poison and warn Chu Jiangmian. However, he didn't feel anything unusual at all, except for a little bit of overwhelm after drinking. This shows that there is no poison in the wine. Because of this, he was somewhat relieved and sat aside to watch the changes. However, Chu Jiangmian drank the same wine as him, how could he be poisoned?
"King Zhao, don't be a hero here, you have the ability to stand up and draw your sword! This king gives you this opportunity to have a fair fight. Can you? Hahaha! Even if Zhao has thousands of tigers and wolves, it can't save you...... Today, this king is edicted by the Son of Heaven to be punished by the whole world!"
Lu Qi looked up to the sky and laughed, full of pride.
