(); However, for the imminent retaliation of the Qing Army, Zuo Shuang's side had already prepared.

Yue Jin's arrangement was for a team of light cavalry to sweep away a village on the border of the Wind Country at a galloping speed, and then immediately retreat.

But when the more than 100 horsemen had just arrived at their destination and had not yet entered the village, the cavalry captain was dumbfounded!

"Phew"

People have strangled the reins, the neighing of war horses came from time to time, I don't know when, more than 100 horsemen have fallen into the encirclement of a large number of wind troops, at this moment, a wind general is raising his right hand slightly, and with his movements, the surrounding armor rubbing sounds, a large number of wind troops have bowed arrows.

Seeing this, the cavalry captain couldn't help but widen his eyes, but before he could speak, the wind general on the opposite side had already said in a loud voice: "Without the permission of our country, his team enters the wind realm, and the wind army will be regarded as an enemy!" Now, you have two choices, one is to immediately lay down your arms and surrender! The second is to die under the random arrows! ”

"You! You guys! The cavalry captain was shocked, but at this moment, he only had more than 100 horsemen, and he was encircled, if he dared to resist, I am afraid he would not even have a chance to fight back!

Thinking of this, he sat on his horse, his face became extremely ugly, and the other Qingguo cavalry began to look left and right, looking panicked.

"Humph!" The wind general snorted coldly, and then stopped talking nonsense, but made a gesture to order the arrow to be released.

"Slow!" Seeing this, the cavalry captain hurriedly shouted, of course he didn't want his gang to die in vain.

In such a situation, he had no choice but to reluctantly untie the war knife at his waist and throw it on the ground.

And with his action, the other cavalry also began to throw away their weapons one after another.

The sound of the sword falling to the ground sounded from time to time, and after the more than 100 horsemen had put down their weapons, the wind general also waved his hand and shouted coldly: "Take it!" ”

As soon as he gave the order, the soldiers of the Wind Army's halberd began to step forward in unison, captured the more than 100 horsemen alive, tied them up in a sturdy knot, and then escorted them back to the camp.

The news quickly spread to Zuo Shuang, and after hearing it, he first waved his hand to signal the soldiers to retreat, and then looked at Yang Yidao: "Lord Yang expected it to be good, the Qingjun really took revenge. ”

"Yes, the Qingguo side determined that the Xiaowang Village bloody case was committed by our army, and now the matter is getting more and more serious." Yang Yi sighed lightly, and continued: "However, in my opinion, it is best for the general not to behead this group of prisoners easily, if they are executed, I am afraid that war will no longer be avoidable......"

The wind army was on guard, which made the Qingjun side think that this matter was done by the wind army! Then the situation escalated and became out of control, and naturally it soon spread to the courts of the two countries.

On the Qingguo side, after the Qingwang heard about this, he was furious, he took the case on the spot, and said angrily: "The Wind King Lu Chen, arrogant and domineering, over the years, he has often found trouble with me on the border, he really thinks that this king is afraid of him!" ”

Seeing that he was furious and looked like he was about to go to war, Prime Minister Shangguan Jin hurriedly stood up and said, "My king is angry. In this matter, it is not too late to send an envoy into the wind and ask the wind king for an explanation in person. ”

He is right, it is a matter of diplomacy between the two countries, and if it is lightly used with troops, it will be a national war, and war is not trivial, and it is undoubtedly the wisest to send an advance envoy into the wind.

Regarding Shangguan Jin's suggestion, Qingwang first took a deep breath to calm down his anger, then thought about it for a while, and said, "Okay, according to what the prime minister said, where is Changqing?" ”

"The minister is here." An officer in his forties stepped forward.

Changqing is a second-class civil official in Qingguo, his name is Shang Yuan, he is not a person who can speak well, but he has an extremely strong patriotic plot, which is why Qingwang takes him as an envoy.

Seeing him bow down, King Qing nodded and said, "Lord Shang, this king wants to use you as an envoy to go to the Wind Country and meet the Wind King, are you willing?" ”

"The ministers obey the king's commands." Shang Yuan said.

"Okay, you set off as soon as possible, remember, this matter, no matter what, my Qingguo can't lose face! The more than 100 villagers who died innocently and tragically are the people of my Qingguo! Qingwang said.

Hearing this, Shang Yuan immediately replied in a straight voice: "Please rest assured, the king! Wechen will definitely live up to its mission! ”

Qingwang took Shang as an envoy on his side, and the latter also set off quickly, which lasted more than 20 days, and finally arrived in Fengzhou.

He came with a guard of honor for the envoy, so the customs clearance was relatively smooth, and after arriving in Fengzhou, Lu Chen immediately asked the official in charge of the reception to arrange for him to live in the post house.

At this time, Lu Chen naturally had already learned about the matter, and through the exchange of letters, he asked Zuo Shuang whether he had sent cavalry to invade Qingdi without permission, but Zuo Shuang replied in the affirmative, saying that he had never done such a thing.

Qingguo insisted that the wind army invaded and washed a village of them in blood, but Zuo Shuang was extremely sure that he didn't, and in the end, Lu Chen discussed this matter with the ministers in the court, and many people began to think that this was Qingguo deliberately finding fault!

As for the arrival of the green envoy, it was actually expected by Lu Chen.

The next morning, the wind country was in the morning, and the Qing envoy Shang Yu also entered the court hall and met Lu Chen.

Shang Yuan, although he is a civil official, but he is very arrogant, in the palace of the Wind Country, after he saw Lu Chen, he did not bend down like other envoys, but just arched his hand slightly towards Lu Chen, and said straightly: "Qing envoy Shang, I have seen His Royal Highness the Wind King." ”

His attitude can not be described as arrogant, you must know that Lu Chen is the king of a country, as far as the Central Plains Empire is concerned, Lu Chen is a prince! Shang Yu is just a second-grade minister, and when he sees the king, An Neng does not give a big gift.

Seeing this situation, the noses of all the ministers of the Wind Country were almost crooked! Without waiting for Lu Chen to speak, someone immediately stood up, pointed directly at Shang Yuan, and said angrily: "The green envoy is really rude!" When you see my king, An Neng doesn't worship! ”

"Vertical puffer! I don't know how to be polite! ”

"The puppet deserves death for despying my king so much!"

"The king, Wei Chen suggests that the green envoy be beaten out of the stick immediately......"

"Humph! Qingguo also claims to be a big country in the Central Plains, but it is a great shame to use this person as a messenger, so ignorant of etiquette......"

All the ministers of the Wind Country stood up one after another, and people said everything, but without exception, they were all accusing Shang Yuan, and they could turn a deaf ear to whatever Shang Yuan said before, but in the end, he couldn't help it when he said that he had lost the people of Qingguo, and immediately said in a cold voice:

"How can the minister of the upper kingdom worship the king of the lower kingdom!"

What the! He dared to call himself the upper country, and called the country of wind the lower country, and when the minister of the country of wind heard this, his anger can be imagined!

Lu Chen's face also sank suddenly.
