Gyeonggi in the Kingdom of Qi, Tokyo City.

Because today is the ceremony of the succession of the new monarch, both the streets and alleys are full of lights, and there is a joyful and lively atmosphere.

Even three months ago, the city was in danger of being almost destroyed;

Even though the horror of killing the people of Chu in the past three months is still hanging over this ancient city.

However, the people of Tokyo are fickle, and even if the neighbors were arrested by the government and soldiers last night, the screams of the whole family still linger in their ears, but as soon as the cannon battle to congratulate the new monarch on the succession to the throne sounded, all fears and insecurities were washed away by the joy of not caring about themselves.

Especially some young children, they don't care that their usual friends they play with suddenly disappear.

At the moment, he is just smiling innocently, dancing with fireworks and lanterns in the streets and alleys, frolicking.

In the middle of this majestic capital, the Qinglong Hall is now full of drums, symbolizing the blue dragon stone sculpture of Daqi, and the red splendid silk group is hung on it.

Xiao Zishuo was kneeling in front of the stone sculpture, kneeling three times and bowing nine times to the direction where Wang Ji was.

Behind Xiao Zishuo stood the young master Ji Jun, who had left three months in front.

Today, he came to canonize the new Qi monarch on behalf of the Zhou royal family, and at the same time, he also presided over the enthronement ceremony for the new monarch of Qi.

After kneeling and bowing to the shrine of Yao Jun in Wangji, Ji Jun announced the book of the Son of Heaven, to the effect that Xiao Zishuo was allowed to become the monarch of Qi and the new Taifu of the Great Zhou.

After the long and gorgeous book was read, Xiao Zishuo respectfully took the book and saluted the angels, and he was about to ascend to the first seat of the Green Dragon Palace.

Ji Jun turned around and sat on the right side of the monarch's seat, although he was an angel, Xiao Zishuo was now the new Taifu of the Great Zhou, and under the three dukes, he was the head of the three orphans.

Just as more than 100 people from the Great Qi Kingdom and the envoys of Qin and Shu in the Qinglong Hall witnessed Xiao Zishuo stepping onto the public throne, suddenly an extremely loud voice came out of the hall.

"Wait!"

Everyone subconsciously turned their heads along the sound, and a middle-aged man with extraordinary bearing in his eyes took two steps forward, facing Xiao Zishuo's back and said angrily.

"It's Zhao Zhihai."

When the people in the hall saw that the person who spoke was Zhao Zhihai with anger, they all whispered in surprise. No one in the hall knew it, and no one knew about this man who looked down on the world in his words and deeds.

But today is the ceremony of Xiao Zishuo's succession to the throne, why did Zhao Zhihai speak out to stop it.

Just as the whole hall was discussing, he saw Xiao Zishuo stop, which was only two steps away from the public seat in front of him.

"Xiao Zishuo, don't forget the promise between you and me."

Xiao Zishuo seemed to be shocked when he heard this, he slowly turned his body, and a pale face like panic met Zhao Zhihai's eyes.

Seeing Xiao Zishuo's appearance, not only Zhao Zhihai didn't expect it, but the ministers and envoys in the hall were also a little surprised, they didn't know why Xiao Zishuo seemed to be a different person in just one day.

Only then did everyone remember that when Xiao Zishuo entered the Qinglong Hall and he accepted the angel's book, the prince never looked up.

Everyone thought it was because Xiao Zishuo was more humble, but it wasn't until then that everyone felt a little inappropriate.

"Prince."

"Prince."

Bursts of concerned inquiries rang out in the Blue Dragon Palace.

Those who were originally on Xiao Zishuo's side, as well as those who had been on Xiao Zishuo and Xiao

The people wandering left and right in Ziyan all stood up and asked as if they were showing that they were the ones who cared most about Xiao Zishuo.

"Middle-aged people, don't deceive people too much, Xiao Jin has already given it to you, what else do you want me to do?

Do you want to prevent me from inheriting the throne of the Duke of Qi? ”

Xiao Zishuo clenched his fists, and his words were like a bullied child, which made everyone in the hall cast angry glances at Zhao Zhihai.

"The middle and greater people, today is the succession ceremony of the king, what is the matter, please wait for the ceremony to end?"

Although Xiangbang Tianfu on the side didn't understand what was the gap between the two, but after listening to what Xiao Zishuo said, he immediately guessed that he was afraid that Xiao Zishuo had any promise that had not yet been fulfilled and made Zhao Zhihai unhappy, so he quickly got up and persuaded Zhao Zhihai.

After Tian Fu finished speaking, the Qi ministers in the palace also echoed one after another.

But they knew that after today, they would have to rely on the Qin State to send troops to help them resist the invasion of the 500,000 army of the Chu State, so although they were a little angry at Zhao Zhihai's reckless words in their hearts, the attitude they showed was quite respectful.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhihai's face changed, his white face, which had always been calm, suddenly turned crimson, and a monstrous anger surged up in an instant.

"Xiao Zishuo!

You are the king of the country, I only thought you were ungrateful, but I didn't expect you to be no different from a scoundrel in the market.

I only ask you, will you let my daughter go? ”

Zhao Zhihai stretched out his hand that was trembling with anger, pointed at Xiao Zishuo and scolded.

Xiao Zishuo looked at Zhao Zhihai and didn't say a word, but there was a trace of fear in his eyes.

Seeing that Chu Jun did not say a word in the face of Zhao Zhihai's questioning and scolding, Xiao Kun, Tian Fu and others all saw that something was wrong, and it seemed that what Zhao Zhihai said was not false.

It's just that they don't know why Zhao Zhihai's daughter is in Qi State and why she is imprisoned by Xiao Zishuo.

If this is the case, then Xiao Zishuo is really too embarrassed, and it is no wonder that Zhao Zhihai is furious.

Xiao Kun stood up helplessly, bowed to Xiao Zishuo, who didn't say a word, and said:

"Your Majesty, what Lord Zhao said is true?"

Xiao Zishuo looked at the silent hall as if he hadn't heard anything, and saw that everyone's eyes were looking at him, and the panic in his heart became more and more intense, and he became even more overwhelmed.

Xiao Kun looked at Xiao Zishuo's expression, and saw that he didn't refute it, so he knew that this matter was only true, so he had to sigh and say to Xiao Zishuo again:

"Your Majesty, now that Qin and I are in the same spirit, if you invite Lord Zhao's daughter to come to my Qi country as a guest, then return her to Lord Zhao."

Xiao Kun pleaded with Xiao Zishuo in embarrassment, just to make others sound a little far-fetched in his words.

Now this Zhao Zhihai is openly asking for people in the hall where Duke Qi succeeds to the throne, but Xiao Kun said that his lord is inviting other people's daughters to be guests, and it is clear that he wants to find a step down, but this step is too far-fetched.

So after Xiao Kun finished speaking, even some of the ministers of the Qi State were a little red-faced, and Xiao Kun lowered his head in shame.

Tian Fu saw that Xiao Zishuo was still in a daze, and he was also anxious, he hurriedly walked a few steps to Xiao Zishuo's side, and was about to persuade Xiao Zishuo, but when he saw Xiao Zishuo as if he had made up his mind, he suddenly raised his head and said:

"Zhao Zhihai, your daughter eloped with someone at a young age, and after coming to my Qi country, she stabbed me even more.

I remember that when I was in the Qin Kingdom, I received your favor and did not punish her severely, but who would have thought that she would not repent

, in the palace, he still never forgets to harm me.

Middle-aged people, should you also give me an explanation? ”

After Xiao Zishuo finished speaking coldly, he stared at Zhao Zhihai, who was already angry.

And Tian Fu, who had just walked to Xiao Zishuo's side, was taken aback when he heard this, and he hurriedly pleaded loudly to Xiao Zishuo in a panic:

"The gentleman is cautious, the monarch is cautious."

Tian Fu felt that no matter why Zhao Zhihai's daughter wanted to assassinate Xiao Zishuo, at this moment, the Qin State was a big support of the Qi State, and Xiao Zishuo must not argue with Zhao Zhihai about right or wrong at this time.

It doesn't matter if it's wrong or wrong, what matters is that Zhao Zhihai has promised the Qin army that came to help.

Angel Ji Jun saw that the atmosphere in the hall was at an impasse, and he suddenly felt that it was time for him to speak, after all, he was an angel and represented the authority of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Today is always the ceremony of the succession of the monarch of the Qi country, and no one can get off the stage if it looks like this, so if you can resolve the embarrassment at this time, you will be grateful to yourself if you think of it.

Besides, listening to the words of Zhao Zhihai and Xiao Zishuo, the contradiction here is just that Xiao Zishuo imprisoned Zhao Zhihai's daughter who wanted to assassinate him, and Xiao Zishuo didn't seem to want to cure the woman's crime.

So as long as Xiao Zishuo lets Zhao Zhihai's daughter go, today's matter is not irresolvable.

"Hahahaha",

Ji Jun, who had figured out this, touched his three-foot long hair, and slowly stood up with a smile.

This laughter successfully attracted the attention of everyone in the hall, which made Ji Jun, who was secretly observing, overjoyed.

But just when he stood up and was about to speak, he heard Zhao Zhihai say slowly:

"In the matter of me and the Qi State, if you dare to interject a word, then when the army of the Qin State crusades against the Qi State in the future, I will not mind going to Wangji to see Lord Ji by the way."

Although Zhao Zhihai's words were calm, they extinguished Ji Jun's enthusiasm like ice, and he looked at Zhao Zhihai with his mouth wide open as if he couldn't believe it, but he happened to meet Zhao Zhihai's bloodshot eyes and eyes that were almost murderous.

Ji Jun was suddenly drenched in a cold sweat, he didn't care about his hot cheeks after being humiliated and the mocking eyes of everyone, so he quietly sat down and lowered his head.

"What, do the middle and greater people want to attack my Qi country?"

Xiao Zishuo asked Zhao Zhihai seemingly indifferently. It's just that as soon as his words fell, Qi Chen, who was all in the hall, let out a "hiss" inhalation sound in surprise.

They didn't understand why this prince, who usually looked quite smart, was so ignorant of the importance of today, and provoked Zhao Zhihai several times.

Especially at this juncture, Xiao Zishuo is taking the initiative to seek a way to die in the country.

But unexpectedly, after listening to Xiao Zishuo's words, Zhao Zhihai seemed to have suddenly lost all his momentum, and seemed to say with some helplessness:

"Although I don't know why you broke your promise today, if you let my daughter go, then I, Zhao Zhihai, swear to the heavens that the things we discussed yesterday will still count.

But if you don't let it go, I don't mind telling the world about the matter in Mrs. Mi's house, and let the world judge whether you Xiao Zishuo is worthy of being the lord of this Qi country. ”

Zhao Zhihai, who was already a little depressed, said something like a hammer hitting the jaw-dropping Xiao Zishuo's heart, but in an instant, he was not as strong as Fang Cai, so he could only look at Zhao Zhihai with wide eyes and horror.

Looking at it, he actually sat on the ground with his butt, pointed at Zhao Zhihai and shouted:

"Quick, quick, come on, kill him, kill him."
