Chapter 19: Tongues and swords fly cold
Lan Lingjun, who came from the Qi Kingdom of the East China Sea, was very conflicted in his heart these days, and he was a little ashamed. Even going out of the city to hunt in Zhongyue Mountain couldn't arouse his interest at all. I've been absent-minded along the way. Everyone else went after and hunted, and there was a great reward. He alone didn't even shoot a bow and arrow, let alone gain anything.
The entourage of Qi State knew Lan Lingjun's mood very well. However, there is no good way to persuade them. Because, just a few days ago, they finally received a secret message from the Qi State. The King of Qi has already agreed to the demands of Qin, Wei and other countries, and has decided to send troops together!
This is undoubtedly shocking news. Originally, after seeing Chu Jiangmian, Lanling Jun Tian Wuzhao concluded that King Chu Lie of Zhao was in good health based on his own experience and intuition. For this reason, he had already urgently repaired a book as soon as possible, and sent someone back to Qi to report the news as soon as possible. However, it still failed to stop the Qi State from raising troops.
He didn't know what had gone wrong. Whether the king of Qi was stubborn and couldn't control his ambitions, or he didn't receive his letter, he still sent troops to participate in this major military operation anyway. According to reliable sources, 30,000 Qi soldiers were about to step out of the territory of Qi by the king's order.
The spring breeze is warm and the sun is warm, and the water is green and the mountains are green. Lan Lingjun had no intention of watching it at the moment. He has been repeatedly calculating the pros and cons of Qi sending troops in his heart. There are too many unpredictable factors between winning and losing. If you make a mistake in judgment, Qi Guo is likely to suffer huge losses!
When thinking of the serious consequences that might be incurred, on the one hand, the ambitious prince of Qi secretly complained about the rashness and impatience of the king of Qi, and at the same time, it was difficult to face Chu Jiangmian, the prince of Zhao who had just spoken very happily not long ago.
"Childe doesn't need to worry. Our Qi country is strong, the armor is sharp, and the Lord has long had a pioneering heart. Now is a rare opportunity, and it is time to actively participate and take advantage of the fire! As for that Chu Jiangmian, Gongzi actually doesn't have to be like this...... Since it is destined to meet each other, it is the enemy! ”
The henchman who guessed what he was thinking whispered to him. Tian Wuzhao sighed, shook his head slightly, and said with a wry smile.
"If that's the case, of course it's the best. It's just that Zhao Guo is powerful...... It's not as simple as it seems! What's more, we have just accepted the generous gift of Prince Zhao, and we immediately turned against each other, and we always feel that it is not so bright. Alas! ”
"The son is benevolent and well-known in the world. But in the face of the vital interests of Qi Guo, it is better to put aside these personal feelings for the time being...... Don't forget that this military operation involves the strongest vassal states in the world. Once the front is launched, it will be a big battle that will fall apart. The winner expands the territory and grows in strength. If there is any mistake, it is likely to be taken by other tiger and wolf countries to bite a few bites, at least the loss of the army, the worst is the defeat and loss of land, and even the national strength is damaged, and it will never recover! ”
Hearing the words of these henchmen, Lan Lingjun rubbed his forehead vigorously. Of course, he understands all these truths. Merely...... He still felt shameless to see the prince of Zhao again.
It was precisely because of this reason that he tried his best to avoid meeting with Chu Jiangmian during this period of time. Fortunately, the other party didn't know what he was busy with, and he never saw a trace. It avoids a lot of embarrassment.
However, there are some things and some people in the world who want to try their best to avoid them, but it is difficult to avoid them. Whether it is an enemy or a friend, people who are destined to have many origins will eventually meet again.
A moment ago, Lanling Jun Tian Wuzhao actually didn't notice how the dispute in front of him happened. By the time his thoughts were disrupted and his attention shifted, it was already a scene of saber rattling and about to be on fire.
After listening to the entourage whisper a brief description of what had just happened, Lan Lingjun smiled slightly mockingly, and waved his hand to signal that everyone under his command did not have to worry much. The young people from Wei are also too rampant! Since he is going to openly challenge the authority of the Zhou royal family, let him perform to his heart's content. Anyway, no matter how it ends in the end, it has nothing to do with Qi State. They were happy to watch the excitement from the sidelines.
However, Lan Lingjun had just changed his mind. Suddenly, he saw the familiar figure walking from not far away. The prince in white was still dressed in white, and his smile was still that scheming smile, but what he said, Lan Lingjun felt childish and ridiculous.
"Chu Jiangmian...... What is he going to do? ”
Lan Lingjun couldn't help but murmur in surprise. The Qi entourage around him all knew this prince of Zhao. They also had the same stunned expressions as Lan Lingjun. They shook their heads one after another, indicating that they felt the same ignorance as their own son-in-law.
On the huge hunting grounds, the wind blows from the mountain passes, and all kinds of flags are whirring. In order to maintain the dignity of the Zhou royal family, the Praetorian Guard generals and the princes and princes who deliberately provoked have already pulled out half of their swords. At this moment, they, like everyone present, turned their heads a little inexplicably, looking at the young man who was just walking over casually, with different expressions on their faces.
But no one noticed that the wine cup in the hand of the royal brother Ji Mo, who had been silent, trembled slightly, and the corners of his eyes flashed. It seems that he had been expecting such a person to appear for a long time. And he, living up to expectations, finally stood up!
"Who is he? What is he saying? Did any of you understand what this kid was saying? ”
The arrogant and rude Nangong looked at the people who came over with disdain. He didn't understand how this guy he didn't know was qualified to talk like that. Isn't he afraid of death? Everyone saw that he, the prince of Wei, wanted to take the opportunity to establish the prestige of Great Wei, so they all chose to sit on the sidelines. This was something he had long anticipated. Even Zimmer's attitude and the reaction of the other party's soldiers, he guessed eight or nine. That's why he provoked in public so unscrupulously.
However, even he didn't expect that under such circumstances, someone would jump out and want to be a peacemaker? Moreover, the people who were so self-defeating were neither the princes and kings present, nor the princes who were very famous. This made him feel both surprised and even a little ridiculous.
"Brother Nangong, you haven't seen this person yet, of course you don't know him. He is the Zhao Guojun I mentioned to you! ”
Someone stood side by side beside Nangong and answered his question lightly. Prince Wei raised the knife in his hand, and looked at the Qingfeng cold blade that was half exposed, and he laughed coldly. The world knows his pride and frankness, but who really understands the heroic posture hidden in his body! Decisive and ruthless, is the true face of him who is not yet known.
"It turns out that he is the son of King Chulie of Zhao? Hehe, peerless son, just such a shallow guy, also deserves your attention? ”
Nie Wushuang, whose gaze had never left Chu Jiangmian's figure, neither nodded nor shook his head. He narrowed his eyes slightly, hiding a heavy murderous intent. Chu Jiangmian would take the initiative to stand up and speak at this time, no matter what his motives were or what he wanted to achieve, which in itself was surprising enough.
"Don't be fooled by his fame. As far as I know, King Chulie of Zhao seems to care very much about this son of his...... Brother Nangong, don't despise him too much! ”
Seeing Nie Wushuang's solemn appearance, Nangong looked up to the sky and laughed. only said to him in the end: "Wushuang Gongzi watch carefully, if he wants to do a lot of things, it depends on how I clean him up!"
Nie Wushuang achieved his goal and took a step back. Of course, he will take a good look, and then it is best to disagree with each other and fight with blood splashed with swords, then he will get what he wants! No matter who dies or who is injured, it is beneficial and harmless to themselves.
Most of the other people present didn't know who this young man was. Just as he was about to see how Ji Mo reacted, he had already heard Prince Wei Nangong and shouted.
"Chu Jiangmian, what's the matter with you here? If you don't want to get into trouble, just go to the back and stay well...... What a dog with a mouse is nosy! ”
In everyone's attention, they saw that the white-clothed boy who was insulted by Nangong had the same expression on his face, still with an inexplicable smile. It's as if I've heard some funny joke. A few feet away, he pointed his finger at Prince Wei, who was surrounded by nearly a hundred armor soldiers, and said in a tone that sounded strange.
"Didn't your dad teach you to be polite since you were a child? This is Zhongzhou, where the Son of Heaven is. Not to mention that you have to abide by the etiquette of your subordinates, even if it is an ordinary way of being a guest, such a big person should know it! I really don't know how King Wei educated his son...... Hehe! Do you think that with a knife in your hand, you can stop talking about anything? ”
When a sentence came out, everyone nearby heard it clearly. Everyone, who had just known his identity, widened their eyes again. People in the world say that the son of King Chulie of Zhao is a super gentleman. Hearing is false, seeing is believing. Today's appearance of him is really worthy of his name! This is going to die!
When did Nangong ever be scolded like this in person? The other party, a guy who looked many years younger than him, not only sarcastically said something sarcastic, but also dared to even piggyback on King Wei! Is it tolerable, which is unbearable?!
"Chu Jiangmian...... You're looking for death! ”
The cold light flickered, and the long knife was unsheathed. Nangong shouted angrily, and his murderous intent rose sharply. As soon as he ripped off the cloak behind him, he was about to come over and kill people to see blood.
"Nephew Jiang Mianxian, come here...... I've been pouring this wine for you for a long time! ”
It was a surprise to everyone. Brother Wang Jimo, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly beckoned and asked Chu Jiangmian to come to his side. Then he handed him the full glass of wine. And Chu Jiangmian didn't hesitate at all, he held it in his hand and drank it all in a few gulps. The white jade-like face was flushed with a flush.
"The wine in Los Angeles Palace really tastes very different...... Thank you Mogong! ”
Almost at the same time, the general Zidun, who had received Ji Mo's secret signal, waved his hand, and all the Praetorian Guards retreated a few steps under his leadership, blocking in front of Chu Jiangmian and Ji Mo.
"Although this prince of Zhao behaves in a sloppy manner, he is loyal to the heart of the royal family, and he has the style of a father......
In the tense atmosphere, this thought involuntarily flashed through the minds of many people.
