Chapter 292: Don't deceive, don't deceive
One day further, everyone really met the messenger sent by the king of Huainan to "condole" everyone. At that time, everyone had just arrived at the border of Huainan Kingdom, and it was still hundreds of miles away from Xingping.
There are one hundred and ten messengers sent by the king of Huainan, the formation is very large, the scene is very grand, there is a long dragon lined up on the post road, the officials and servants stand respectfully on the post road, and people with a good attitude can't help but applaud. This scene is that anyone who sees it can't help but exclaim: the king of Huainan is really a loyal and good general of the Han Dynasty, and a liver and a loyal heart can really be learned from the sun and the moon!
Qin Cheng, who was in red robe and black armor, walked at the front of the team, and when he approached the team that came to greet him, he slowed down his horse, held the reins in one hand, and naturally placed his right hand on the handle of the ring-headed knife at his waist, staring at the envoy of the King of Huainan who was standing there respectfully in front of him.
"Xiaguan Li Shang, on the order of the King of Huainan, is here to welcome General Qin and Dongfang Shilang and his party!" Before Qin Cheng walked in, the first man who was about thirty or forty years old and dressed in official robes bowed to Qin Cheng, and his voice was loud, "Everyone, please enter the official office to rest for a while, the lower officials have already prepared a dust washing banquet!" ”
There was no shortage of wine, meat and other things in the team behind Li Shang, which was prepared for Qin Cheng and the others to refuse to enter the official office to rest. In short, the "sincerity" of Li Shang and others is very great.
Since the king of Huainan is the lord of a country, the tolerance of a team of 100 people in the central government naturally cannot be unaware, and since he knows, he naturally cannot but come to condole.
"Li Shang, what is your position in Huainan Kingdom?" Qin Cheng looked at Li Shang, who was quite radiant in front of him, ignored the others, and asked an inconsequential question as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Xiaguan, the long history of the Huainan Kingdom." Although Li Shang didn't understand Qin Cheng's problem, and was a little angry at Qin Cheng's lack of etiquette, he still said honestly.
"Then do you recognize Chen You?" Qin Cheng asked again, as if he was asking someone about an old friend he hadn't seen for many years.
Chen You was one of the "Eight Princes" sent by King Huainan to assassinate Qin Cheng in Qiansang City for the first time, but was killed by Qin Cheng instead.
When Li Shang heard this, his face couldn't help but change, but fortunately, this person's cultivation was not bad, and then he returned to normal, and said, "I naturally know." "It's hypocritical to say you don't know.
In fact, when he learned that Qin Cheng led a team to Huiji County through Huainan Kingdom, there was a debate about whether or not to send people and who to send to comfort Qin Cheng. Because Liu An can't come in person, it would be too bad and too hypocritical, but if the identity of the person sent is low, it is not in line with Liu An's loyalty to the Han that he wants to show. In the end, the reason why Li Shang was able to get this errand was because of this person's higher position, and secondly, Li Shang strongly demanded it, because the dead Chen You was a close friend of him, and he also wanted to have a trick with Qin Cheng this time, and he had to explore Qin Cheng's ability to do so.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he met him, Qin Cheng asked such an embarrassing question, but he looked quite right. This reminded Li Shang of Chen You, who had not been heard from so far, and couldn't help but feel a fire in his heart.
"Okay, this is what Chen Youluo fell in Qiansang City, you take it back and give it to him." Qin Cheng waved his hand, and Qin Qingzhi handed the long sword engraved with Chen You's name to Li Shang.
The reason why he kept this sword at the beginning was because he wanted to give it to Liu Che when necessary in the future, not only Chen You's sword, but also Qin Cheng left a lot of evidence about the assassination of King Huainan against him that time. This time, Huiji County had to pass through Huainan Kingdom, so Qin Cheng brought this sword over for the purpose of demonstrating to Liu An.
Dare to send someone to assassinate Lao Tzu, don't think that Lao Tzu doesn't know!
When Li Shang heard this, his face turned blue instantly, what Qin Cheng's move showed was already clear!
Chen You, there is less luck and more evil!
In order to hide his embarrassed face, Li Shang had no choice but to lower his head. When he lowered his head, Li Shang happened to see an ant on the post road, and when Li Shang looked at it, the ant actually stopped, as if his head was still moving, as if he wanted to look up.
Qin Cheng couldn't see Li Shang's face, but he could clearly see his hands that couldn't help but tremble slightly despite his efforts to suppress it, and seeing this scene, Qin Cheng glanced at Qin Qingzhi.
Qin Qingzhi understood, and shifted the long sword that was originally going to be placed horizontally in Li Shang's hand slightly, and then with a force, he quickly fell to the ground by grazing Li Shang's hand!
Li Shang's face suddenly became exciting, and his eyes showed unbearable anger.
It's just that he didn't look up, so at this time he could only bear his gaze on the ant that crawled to his feet.
Just as Li Shang was trying to restrain his anger, Qin Qingzhi's cold voice penetrated into his ears: "Li Changshi, what do you mean by this?" If you don't want to do the general a favor, you can say it bluntly, why throw your sword to the ground?! ”
After that, without waiting for Li Shang to answer, Qin Qingzhi suddenly said with a strange yin and yang aura: "It's still this sword...... Li Changshi feels that it is hot to hold his hands? ”
Naked-naked-naked provocation!
Li Shang was on fire for a while!
"General Qin forgives the sin, and the subordinate did not mean it." However, Li Shang instantly understood that this was Qin Cheng's intention to embarrass him, and he was able to control himself and hurriedly apologize, and leaned down to pick up the long sword, and by the way, he crushed to death the ant that he saw crawling around and how it was not pleasing to the eye.
Handing the long sword to the attendant behind him, Li Shang did not forget to bow his hand towards Qin Cheng: "General Qin, rest assured, this sword will definitely be handed over by the official." ”
That look has returned to normal.
"Then thank you Li Changshi." Qin Cheng smiled and hugged his fists, smiling kindly. Heart: Lao Tzu asked you to pretend, see when you pretend!
"King Huainan has such a big pomp, he has been in Chang'an for half his life, and it is the first time that someone has put on such a big formation for him!" Dongfang Shuo tugged at a few goatees on his lower forehead, glanced at the people in front of him with slanted eyes, and praised Gongsun Ce beside him.
"Haha! Brother Dongfang has not seen that there are more envoys sent by the king of Huainan to comfort us than we are, you look at the cart, the cattle and sheep, and the wine jar, all of us together are not worth half of their cents! Gongsun Ce said with a smile.
The conversation between the two was not loud, but because of the close distance, these words fell into Li Shang's ears word for word.
Dongfang Shuo and Gongsun Ce watched Fang Cai's every move of Qin Cheng and Li Shang in their eyes, where could they not see that there was something greasy in this? Although they don't understand what happened to Qin Cheng's sword, if they have the opportunity to ridicule Liu An's people, the two of them are naturally willing to do it.
If it were an ordinary person, it might not be so obvious to embarrass Li Shang, even if he knew that Liu Che was dissatisfied with Liu An. But who are Dongfang Shuo and Gongsun Ce? Those are two wonders. Naturally, they cannot be measured by the standard by which normal people are measured.
"Why are you all fussing about it? The people of Huainan are rich in outstanding spiritual products, and the king of Huainan has a sincere heart, so he naturally entertains us for a good life. There is absolutely no intention to show off to us, and there is no reason for the master to deceive the guest, so don't be too careful! Dou Fei felt that it was necessary to express his position at this time, so he pretended to be serious.
It's just that as soon as his words came out, the fool also heard the ridicule in his words, if he wanted to say that Dongfang Shuo and Gongsun Ce were just sarcastic, then Dou Fei pointed at his nose and scolded directly! And it's not Li Shang's nose, it's the nose of King Huainan!
It's not poisonous!
Of course, Dou himself will never admit it.
Li Shang's complexion, which had just been persuaded to convince himself and had finally adjusted, was distorted again.
But what can he say?
Who asked you to make such a big show, isn't that what you have in mind?
However, Li Changshi will not admit it, and he still intends to refute it at will.
However, Qin Cheng didn't give him this opportunity, but preemptively smiled and said: "Brother Dou's words are wrong, the king of Huainan has a heart for His Majesty, how can he be a bully?" The words "Lord" and "Guest" were deliberately bitten very hard.
Sure enough, as soon as Li Shang heard Qin Cheng's words, his face distorted even more, and he had to say with a straight face: "General Qin, the great man of thousands of miles, are all His Majesty's land, and His Majesty is the only master!" General Qin said carefully! ”
"Oh? I don't know who said it just now, but the king of Huainan asked Er and others to come here to greet us. Let me ask you, does Your Majesty's envoy need to be welcomed when he walks on His Majesty's land? Have you ever seen your own family welcome their own? Who do you think of yourself today, and who do you think of us? Dongfang Shuo said coldly, biting the words very hard.
As soon as Dongfang Shuo said this, all the officials behind Li Shang changed color together, and the eyes that looked at Dongfang Shuo immediately became unfriendly, and there was no lack of anger and hostility.
Swear black is white.! Everyone thought the same thing in their hearts, but they couldn't find the words to refute it!
It's so arrogant! This was the second thought of everyone behind Li Shang.
"What to see, what to see?!" Qin Qingzhi stepped forward, and the horsewhip unceremoniously pointed at the unkind people behind Li Shang, almost scolding: "What about you!" What to see? The second-rank general of the imperial court and His Majesty's squire are also what you can look at directly?! Take back your dog's eyes! ”
After that, Qin Qingzhi also asked Li Shangdao in a cold voice: "Li Changshi, how can such a person who doesn't understand etiquette appear here?" Do you mean to embarrass me? ”
When the people behind Li Shang heard this, the teeth of hatred were about to fall out, Nima, where is it that I embarrassed you, it is clear that you embarrassed me! It's too much of a bully!
I've never seen such a bully!
But who can say nothing? People say that you just watched it, and you want evidence? I said that what I saw was proof! Who made the family a person from the court, and you are a member of the kingdom? Defy? If you don't accept it, you have to endure it! Could it be that you still want to do something to the court envoys? What is that not a rebellion?
"Qingzhi, step aside!" Qin Cheng pretended to scold, "I don't know if people are here to pick up the wind and wash the dust for us?" What are you like? ”
"Yes, yes!" Li Shang couldn't hold back any longer, and interjected, with a smile on his face that he did his best, otherwise what else could he do? What he was most angry about now was that he didn't expect Qin Cheng to be such a shameless person, and he would dare to raise the bar with him so directly! That's the case, he doesn't have any reason at all. Because he is just a person from the kingdom, and the opposite is the central envoy representing Liu Che, and he can only swallow his anger if he doesn't want to tell the truth! "You have had a hard time, so please take a break, drink some water, and eat some hot food before you go. The wine and food have been prepared. ”
Qin Cheng nodded, as if he was very satisfied, glanced at Qin Qingyi, and said, "See, Li Changshi is such a good person, how thoughtful he is." How good a courtier the King of Huainan is, how respectful he is to His Majesty, how can you be rude to others? ”
Qin Qingzhi glanced at Qin Cheng, and suddenly said in a loud voice: "General Yu, you said that sugar-coated cannonballs, big wine and meat are more terrible enemies than real swords and real guns!" ”
