Chapter 93: The Gambling Contract
King Qi also knew this truth, but asked again: "Young Master Qiao, let's talk about how to deal with Yan Guo first?" ”
Ji Qiao replied: "Send someone to negotiate." ”
King Qi is a little unconvinced, can he just talk about it? However, he still nodded in agreement, thinking that Ji Qiao must have a strange trick.
......
Yanwang Palace, on the court.
The envoy of the Qi State suddenly asked for a meeting, and asked directly: "King Yan, do you know why the Three Jin Coalition forces retreated?" ”
King Yan shook his head proudly and said, "You don't need to know!" ”
The envoy of the Qi State also shook his head contemptuously and sighed: "King Yan, it seems that you are still in the dark, and you don't know that you have been deceived by the Three Jins!" ”
King Yan smiled again: "Envoy Qi, don't think about letting my Yan State withdraw its troops with a few words, this battle was originally fought by your Qi Kingdom!" ”
The envoy of Qi also smiled and said: "King Yan, when the Three Jin Coalition retreated, they lost 5,000 war horses, 500,000 stone grain, and 5,000 taels of gold to my Qi country, do you know about this?" ”
King Yan was shocked when he heard this! Why didn't Sanjin tell me about this? However, he felt that it was impossible, so he said: "Envoy Qi, don't open your mouth here, Yan Guo is not frightened!." ”
The envoy of Qi said: "King Yan, my king brought some gifts, you will know the truth when you see it." This thing is outside the palace, I wonder if it can be passed on? ”
King Yan was very curious, and immediately nodded and agreed: "Okay, this will be passed on." ”
After a while, someone brought a box of things, opened it, and saw that there were several swords inside.
The envoy of Qi took out one of them and said: "King Yan, this is a weapon sent by my king, you let the soldiers take swords to cut each other, and you will know if it is scary after reading the results!" ”
......
After a competition.
King Yan and the courtiers were amazed! How can there be such a sharp weapon in the world?
The envoy of the Qi State took the opportunity to say: "King Yan, we have been able to build weapons of this material in batches. Last time, he used 500 cavalry with such halberds to compete with the 15,000 cavalry of the Sanjin Alliance, which frightened Wei Navel and immediately withdrew with 300,000 troops, and also lost a lot of materials and money. ”
King Yan didn't care about this, but asked, "Qi envoy, has the Sanjin exchanged smelting techniques with you?" ”
The envoy of Qi replied: "No, how can such technology be given away!" ”
King Yan nodded and said, "That's right." ”
But I was angry in my heart! The Three Jin Dynasty united to deceive the orphans, and they didn't tell them about such things, and they also pretended to support our Yan State materials, so that our army could confront the Qi army, saying that they would work together to drag down the Qi State.
It seems that it is necessary to organize people to study these swords as soon as possible, and send people to infiltrate Linzi to steal this technology as much as possible. Especially this conference, it is necessary to participate, and then you can take the opportunity to explore the reality.
So he said: "Envoy Qi, please reply to the King of Qi, the Yan Kingdom will withdraw its troops immediately, and the conference will also be attended when the time comes." ”
......
Soon, the Yan army really withdrew.
After Xuanwu Hou learned of the situation, he knew that he had no reason to delay any longer, so he had to withdraw his troops with him.
Tian Yi was very happy in his heart, and he could continue to look for women after he went back, and he had suffered himself in the past few months! I wanted to take a few women to the army, but my father didn't agree.
Xuanwu Hou looked at his elated appearance, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: When will this stupid child mature? It's no wonder that Lin Shi's girl can't look down on her, if I were a woman, I would dislike him!
......
When the Marquis of Xuanwu returned to Linzi, the king of Qi still led the ministers out of the city to greet him, and set up a banquet for him to catch the wind and wash the dust.
However, King Qi didn't ask Ji Qiao to go, thinking that this kid was too popular, and he would definitely overshadow everyone after he went, which would make Xuanwu Hou very embarrassed!
At the banquet, everyone was quite respectful and recognized by Xuanwu Hou!
Although the main credit of this battle is not him, they all think that Ji Qiao also won because of his powerful weapons and equipment, and the other party was scared away, but he did not have real combat experience. If the conditions are equal, it is difficult to say whether Ji Qiao can win!
Even King Qi thinks a little so in his heart!
However, King Qi still invited Lin Yan.
But Lin Yan was very unhappy eating!
......
After returning home, Lin Yan immediately found Ji Qiao in a panic and begged: "Young Master Qiao, you must save me this time!" ”
Ji Qiao hurriedly asked, "Master Hou, what's the difficulty?" Could it be that you clashed with the Xuanwu Marquis at the banquet! ”
Lin Yan shook his head and sighed: "I'm ashamed! When Xuanwu Hou returned to Linzi, I had a gambling contract with my wife:
I said: The king will not invite me and Gongzi Qiao to a banquet this time.
But Madame said: Think beautifully! Qiao Gongzi will definitely not invite, but you still have to invite, no one cares about you.
Of course I'm not convinced! Asked: Why doesn't anyone care about me?
Madame said, "Why don't we take a gamble?"
I was impulsive and immediately agreed. ”
Ji Qiao asked curiously, "What is the bet?" ”
Lin Yan replied: "Madame said that when the guests were invited to the banquet in the mansion in the future, she would come to the table and let me serve beside me, and be responsible for steaming tea and delivering water. ”
Ji Qiao thought it was no big deal, so he suggested: "You just invite two people to come to the mansion as guests, and this matter will be over." ”
Lin Yan said: "Young Master Qiao, you don't know, we bet ten times!" Moreover, when I went to the banquet today, my wife had already said that I would invite the ministers of the DPRK and China to come to the palace as guests. ”
Ji Qiao still said indifferently: "Madame can't know a few ministers, how can I please?" ”
Lin Yan replied: "I thought so at the time, but Mrs. said that I would invite it in the name of Mr. Qiao, which is terrible!" If you invite it in your name, the ministers of the court and the central government will rush to come, and even the king can invite you! ”
Ji Qiao couldn't help laughing: "Madame shouldn't be so desperate, make such a big move, I have to see your jokes?" ”
Lin Yan said embarrassedly: "Madame's intention is very resolute! But how can I get from it! If this is the case, it will be laughed to death by the ministers of the DPRK and China! Please also ask Qiao Gongzi to come up with an idea to see if he can dispel his thoughts? ”
Ji Qiao excused himself and said: "This is a matter between your husband and wife, it is inconvenient for me to participate, if you forcibly intervene, Mrs. will not accept it." ”
Lin Yan was a little flustered, and continued to beg: "Young Master Qiao must have an idea, you must save me, this face cannot be lost!" ”
Ji Qiao sighed in his heart: Alas, machismo at this time is indeed serious! Isn't it just a guest at home, helping to pour water and deliver tea, is it so embarrassing? This is a model husband's style!
But I can't participate in this matter, I offend Mrs. Dongfang, and I don't have any good fruit to eat!
He continued to shake his head in disagreement.
Lin Yan suddenly said confidently: "Young Master Qiao, you can't get out of this matter!" My women weren't so crazy, they were all bad after you came, so you have to worry about it! ”
Ji Qiao was speechless! In this way, I am really responsible! So he said: "Master Hou will sit down, I'll think about it." ”
......
Half an hour later, Lin Yan said very gratefully: "Master Qiao, don't forget!" ”
Then I went very satisfied.
Ji Qiao immediately called Steward Chen and asked him to build two iron pots and a large round table, as well as some chairs, according to his own requirements. It will be sent to his own house in the city in these two days.
