After a month or two of waiting, they finally found an opportunity to kill Lan Qian.

That opportunity was Emperor Qi's birthday.

Emperor Qi is the Son of Heaven, they are princes, even if they are named kings, they still can't change their identity as courtiers of other countries. As a courtier, it is basic etiquette for the monarch to celebrate the birthday of the Son of Heaven on his birthday.

Therefore, on that day, the lord of each country would go in person, and if there was something to do, he would also send one or two henchmen to replace him, so as not to be put on the name of a disrespectful emperor. At that time, the ancestor of the Yue Kingdom was still there, that is, the Qi State where he went, and the Wu State was Wu Zhen who went by himself. As for the state of Chen, the monarch did not personally bless like other countries, but sent him to the state of Qi with another person named Blessing.

Emperor Qi was already old and frail at that time, and he was fortunate to be an adulterous concubine, and even whatever she said, his temper became more and more irritable. Seeing that the lords of all the countries came to Qi in person to participate in his birthday, but the monarch of Chen State did not come, he was very angry. But in front of the ministers and princes of various countries, the old emperor must maintain his own image. So, he pulled a face and looked at Lan Qian coldly: "On my 60th birthday, all the princes and princes came to celebrate my birthday, but only you King Chen did not come, what does this mean?" Don't you look down on my Qi country? ”

"Your Majesty laughed." Although Lan Qian is a nominal idle official next to King Chen, he is a capable person, otherwise he would not have received so much attention from others.

When he heard the old emperor's words, his eyes rolled, and he quickly thought of a way to excuse his own lord who just wanted to stay in his own country, drunk and too lazy to step out of the house, and only heard him say: "My king was accidentally infected with a cold a few days ago, and the imperial doctor said that he needed to recuperate, so he has been staying in his palace during this time, and the door is not out of the door. Knowing His Majesty's birthday, my king originally wanted to come over to congratulate him personally, but the imperial doctor instructed him there, and there were people outside the palace watching, my king is the king of Chen Guo, and it is impossible to carry the imperial doctor down, so he can only stay in the palace. But although others stayed in the palace, their hearts were towards His Majesty, so before leaving, he instructed the lower officials and Lord Zhu to apologize to His Majesty when they saw His Majesty. ”

Hearing what Lan Qian said, the old emperor's face looked much better.

"King Chen is a sensible person, this time I participated in the banquet on purpose, I accept your apology."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lan Qian said respectfully, and then gestured to the subordinates behind him.

Soon, a subordinate stepped forward. He was holding a large mahogany box in his hand.

Lan Qian stood up and opened the box in his hand.

"This is a congratulatory gift from my king to Your Majesty when you are leaving, and I hope Your Majesty will accept it with a smile."

Inside the box lies an egg-sized pink night pearl that radiates a dazzling light that attracts the attention of others at a glance. Naturally, it was not only the other ministers who sat down that were attracted attention, but also the old emperor himself.

"This bead is really beautiful, King Chen has a heart." The old emperor smiled, "Two Aiqing, please take a seat." ”

As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, and if you have a good-looking thing, you can naturally be impressed by the people he hates.

The old emperor was naturally not exempt from vulgarity.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lan Qian seemed to have guessed that the old emperor would be like this, a smile rose on the corner of his mouth, and then he threw his hand towards the person and sat down on the stool.

Lan Qian is in the limelight, his subordinates and the subordinates brought by the blessing are very happy, after all, they represent Chen Guo, one is praised, and the status of others will also rise.

But everyone is happy, except for one person, and that person is a blessing.

Blessing has green tendons on his forehead, and his fists are clenched tightly.

This Lan Qian really hates it, stealing his own limelight when he was in Chen Guo, and now when he arrives in Qi Kingdom, he is still stealing his own limelight.

If only this old emperor of Qi could kill him.

But this is just a thought, it is obviously unrealistic to kill him, after all, people praise him in front of everyone.

Praising in front and scolding in the back is detrimental to the image, as long as the old emperor is not a fool, he will not do this.

It's just that the old emperor doesn't do it, someone has to do it. Put your hope on the subordinate you brought, it will definitely not work, you can only use money to buy a Qi Guoren and let him help him deal with Lan Qian.

Thinking of this, Blessing glanced at Lan Qian playfully, and went back to do his own thing.

At the end of the banquet, the blessing bought a palace maid and asked her to lead Lan Qian to Bibo Lake.

The maid took the money and did as the blessing said. Lan Qian was well protected by his family, so he was simple-minded and easily led into the trap of blessing.

By the time he reacted, it was too late, and he was pushed into the water by the blessing.

With a pop, it startled countless splashes, and it also attracted Jiang Huan Qianying, who happened to be passing by.

"Your Highness, it seems that someone has fallen overboard!" Chikage was the first to notice the abnormality in the water, he frowned slightly, and instinctively wanted to go into the water to save people. But before he could enter the water, he was stopped.

looked back, but found that the person who stopped him happened to be Lu Bai, only to hear him say, "I'm better at water, I'll save him!" He jumped into the water and disappeared, which frightened Chikage.

Chikage wanted to go down and save people, but as soon as the idea came to him, a voice came from the water.

Then Jiang Huan dragged a man seven or eight years older than himself ashore.

When Chikage saw his master come up, he put down the stone in his heart.

"Your Highness, are you alright?"

"It's fine." Jiang Huan sat on the ground, gasping for air.

Although he rescued the guy who fell into the water when his physical strength was almost exhausted, he was also in a state of dying of exhaustion. But I'm about to die of exhaustion, but I still have to worry about the person who fell into the water in front of me.

After all, if you saved him, you have to be a good person to the end, get all the water out of his mouth, and let him go back safely.

It's just that his physical strength has been used up a lot, and he definitely doesn't have the strength to save people.

The only one who can save the person in front of him is Chikage, who still has physical strength.

"Chikage, you go and save it."

"Yes." Qianying is a killer, and he learns all those things that kill people and set fires, so it's still a little difficult for him to do things to save people. But the master commanded, and his subordinate must not be unreasonable. Therefore, he agreed to it.

I saw him press his two hands on the drowning man's abdomen, helping him to press out the water in his abdomen.

After a while, the water came out, and the man woke up. Lan Qian looked at the two of them vigilantly,

The corners of his mouth slowly spit out a few words, "Who are the two of you?" ”
