Chapter 488: The Meeting of the Valley (Part II)
PS: The second chapter is in the afternoon
"Bang"! With a sound, there was a thunderstorm on the ground, and the wine cup in Chen Heng's hand fell to the ground, and the pale yellow wine syrup was spilled on the ground.
The movement here attracted everyone, and in their surprised eyes, they saw Zhao Wuxian sitting on the seat and not moving, while Chen Heng's face changed rapidly, he smiled awkwardly, slowly got up and picked up the wine cup, and asked the person waiting next to him to change it.
Chen Heng was like a thief swaggering in the lu, and his identity was revealed on the spot, and his heart was pounding. But he reacted quickly, and once again filled the wine cup with a glass of wine, and held it high: "I just wanted to pay tribute to Zitai, but who expected his hand to slip ......"
The words that Zhao Wuxian said just now were not loud, only Chen Heng could hear that in the Qi Kingdom, only Yan Zi, who was once a friend of the Chen family and knew the most about the Chen family, had made such a prediction:
"Qi Qi is Chen's Clan!"
But how did a Jin person in the country of Lu see it?
Terrible, really terrible.
Chen Heng must not, must not let him say it again, he can't be here, in front of the princes and doctors of the two countries of Qilu.
So he looked at Zhao Wuxian with a smile, with a bit of pleading in his eyes.
"It's a pity, the wine has been spilled, let me salute it again, how about it?"
Zhao Wuxian nodded, he didn't publicize Fang Cai's words loudly anymore, but said inch by inch: "Zichang is young, it is the age when he holds a bow and arrow to protect the monarch to the left, why is his wrist weak, and there is no thunder in the sky, but he shocked your wine cup, how can it be enough at one time." When the penalty is three glasses of wine! ”
Zhao Wuxian, you are ruthless!
Chen Heng was helpless. I had to toast Zhao Wuxian three glasses of wine again, and when it came to the third glass. His cheeks were red and he staggered, holding a huge copper bottle in his hand, and the yellow-green liquor overflowed the edges.
He seemed to be drunk, but he was thinking about things like a flash in his heart. In fact, even if Zhao Wuxian said it in public, it was nothing for the Chen family to say it in public, and the slander from the enemy's mouth, he was clever and could even make good use of it. Deepen Qi Hou's trust and reuse of himself.
But words are like the wind, and at the same time, they are also thorns, which will pierce the hearts of Qi Hou and Qingshi Gao Zhang and Bao Mu, making them jealous of the Chen family at a critical moment. His father repeatedly told him that the Chen family is not strong enough now, and he still needs to win the hearts of the people while maintaining his glory.
So if you can reduce the trouble, after all, it is also a good thing.
The cooperation of the two successfully coped with everyone's doubts, and they looked at each other. As if it was a young man joking, he turned his head back and continued to greet him boringly.
Chen Heng breathed a sigh of relief, sat down again and said, "Zitai." This can't be said nonsense, dividing the relationship between other people's monarchs and ministers is not something that a hero like you should do. ”
"Discord? I'm just telling the truth. Otherwise, Chen's big bucket will be lent out, and Xiao Dou will take it back. He also killed cattle and feasters, and collected the tigers of the world. What is the intention? ”
This is all true, but Chen Heng wanted to regain the initiative in this dialogue, so he sneered: "Otherwise, it's like I've heard someone say that Zhao Xiaosikou, as a Jin person, lives in the Lu country, but is bent on seeking power, not only controlling four yi himself, but also occupying a lot of territory in Lu, Qi, and Wei." As a doctor, you preside over the alliance, issue laws in your realm, change the official system, and even issue coinage...... Tut, speaking of which, this is also a non-subordinate move, no worse than my family, if I openly say in front of Lu Hou that you want to replace Sanhuan and follow Yang Hu to steal national politics, then what will the Lu people think? ”
Zhao Wuxian laughed, attracting a burst of attention again, which made Chen Heng shocked.
After laughing, he said lightly: "I have a clear conscience, if Zichang is not angry, you and I can blame each other, and then be regarded as two weak crowned children who are openly drunk and talking nonsense at the alliance meeting, and the reputation accumulated before will be ruined." ”
Chen Heng choked suddenly, he had never met an opponent among his peers in China, and now he encountered a natural enemy, and he couldn't help scratching his face: "Zitai made a threat, what do you want to do?" ”
"I want to ask Zichang, you came to see me today, just to get acquainted?"
Chen Heng was silent, and then approached Zhao Wuxian, and the two young people hooked their shoulders, as if they were familiar at first sight, but in fact, what they said was extremely cold, and there was no friendship at all.
"The leader of the younger generation of Qilu, only Zitai and me, what you want to do in Lu country, smart people speak for themselves. I don't expose you, you don't have to frame the Chen family, there is no grudge in the world that cannot be eliminated, now that Qi and Lu have reconciled, you and I should cooperate instead of hurting each other......"
Zhao Wuxian raised his eyebrows: "Cooperation? “
"The territory of Gaotang and Yiyi Ion Tai is not far away, Zhao's porcelain is sold in Chen's, and Chen's is sold in Qi's country.
"What's in it for me?"
"The Chen boatman sailed the great river, although he could not protect all the merchant ships from river robbery, but he could intercept the Zhao merchant ships from the east to the south from Jianjin, if Zitai was willing, these unnecessary conflicts could be avoided......"
Zhao Wuxian was amused in his heart, opening the river, and even using the salt ban policy, wasn't it Chen's idea? In the end, I see that I am at a loss, but I want to be a good person, pretend to disarm these means, and empty words about the white wolf in exchange for benefits? What a good idea!
I think it's distressing about the 1,000 catties of bronze on that boat!
What's more, the Chen family's bad Zhao clan is not once or twice, and the snow field battle is not guarded for a while, so Chen Heng has become a big winner, otherwise Qi Hou may be a guest in the Qi Palace of the Jin Kingdom with Gongzi Yangsheng at this moment!
And further back, the death of Zhao Wuxian's father-in-law, Le Qi, and Gu Yezi's stabbing in the snowy night of Yangjiban, seem to be indispensable to Chen's dark figure.
This ran from Chen Guo to Qi State, and the family raised by the surname Jiang was normal at the beginning, but since Chen Huan Zi Wuyu, there have been many conspirators......
Only Chen Wuzi is a stupid martial artist.
In short, their previous revenge with Zhao Wuxian has not been avenged, and new hatred has followed.
Will he work with a nest of venomous snakes?
Zhao Wuxian took a deep breath and pinched the flesh of his palm, telling himself not to be rash.
Kindness. He will, burying hatred in his heart. and poisonous snakes to make a false promise, so as to wait for the opportunity to bite them fiercely!
……
At this time, the feast is basically over. Everyone was drunk, and the next program was to play the dance music of Qilu and Qilu, and then it was time to start discussing business.
The place on the platform is spacious, like a hall. The first to come up is the dance music of the Lu country, Confucius has self-knowledge, boasting of the merits of the Marquis of Lu "Gong" and "Pan Shui" naturally dare not and are embarrassed to play in front of the people of Qi, so the music played is a song "Youjiao", which is a song of praying to the banquet and drinking of the Hou Lu and the ministers. It expresses the scene of celebrating the harvest, feasting and drinking, and the drunken dancing of the monarchs and ministers, which just corresponds to the scene.
"There is a camel and there is a camel, and the other is yellow. Dreaming of the night in the public, in the public Mingming. Zhen Zhen Heron, Heron in the ......"
Although it was a dog day at the end of May, the dancers of the Lu Kingdom were dressed very conservatively, not showing an inch of skin, and they danced with long sleeves to the music. Start playing.
After Confucius became the great uncle, he attached the most importance to ritual music, and the Lu Palace began to be full of dancers, and there would never be a situation where all the dancers went to the Ji family temple to dance and there were only two people left around Lu Hou.
It's just that Lu Guo's dance music is decent. Confucius looked solemn, Lu Hou and Sanhuan looked like dogs, and Qi Hou dozed off at the boring Lu dance music.
Something from the country of Lu. Including women, they all made Qi people feel bored. But this kind of scene can only be left unchecked.
The doctors sat together in groups of threes and twos, and Zhao Wuxian was already at the table next to Chen Heng. In the eyes of others, the two jade-crowned gentlemen are very modest and cautious, soft-spoken, smiling and smiling, and the relationship is very good.
In fact, they are all laughing and hiding knives, secretly wishing to let each other die immediately!
After Chen Heng pretended to cooperate, Zhao Wuxian pretended to think seriously for a moment and said, "I really have something to ask Zichang to help me." ”
"I don't know what?"
"Qi wants to be peaceful with Lu Yu, once the agreement is made, it is inevitable to return the lost land to each other."
Chen Heng understood, but pretended to be confused: "This is natural, with the exchange of Liqiu for irrigation and Kametian, Lu Guo is not a loss." ”
"Lu Hou doesn't suffer, Sanhuan doesn't suffer either, but I suffer."
"What does that Zitai want?"
Zhao Wuxian said: "Before today's battle, Zichang must have wanted to meet me in battle, but unfortunately Confucius persuaded the Marquis of Qi to stop with his own strength, and I could only stop in order not to become the target of the public." Qilu reconciled, Wudao, Pushui, and Jishui will inevitably be dredged again, and when the time comes, how many days will be left for the Chen family to dictate the big river, and the days of monopolizing goods and colonies? ”
"In addition, if the Marquis of Qi has no external troubles, he will inevitably take a closer look at the country under the persuasion of the country and Gao, will the Chen family still have a chance to survive and grow at that time? Therefore, I am not the only one who wants to talk about Qilu peace today. Cooperation is mutually beneficial, since we want to cooperate, then Zichang will first show sincerity and help me break this peace talks, at least so that Qilu cannot reach any alliance, just a truce, what? ”
Chen Heng was silent, and he knew Zhao Wuxian's Xilu well, Zhao Wuxian had been silently following them since he was hit by Chen's black hand last time, so just in this short conversation, he guessed the other party's purpose inseparably.
That's right, the Chen family has been instigating Qi Hou to make trouble abroad, just to make the country tired and the people to join the Chen family, and at the same time make Qi Hou unable to focus on suppressing the Chen family, so the peace of Qilu is not good for the Chen family.
But in the face of Zhao Wuxian's request, he could only smile awkwardly.
Chen's is far from having such a strong voice.
Although the Chen clan is growing stronger and stronger, it is still based on catering to the Marquis of Qi, although Yan Ying and Bao Guo died, their father and son still have to face the threat of Guoxia, Gao Zhang, and Bao Mu, and now there is another Yan Yu to compete. The conspiracy on weekdays can only succeed with the assistance of Liang Qiu, the minister next to the Marquis of Qi.
But if he was asked to stop the peace talks negotiated between Qi Hou and Guoxia on the spot, in the face of Qi Hou, who was extremely suspicious, how could he Chen Heng be so capable?
Zhao Wuxian said nothing in Xilu, and his military strength was also stronger than Sanhuan, as if he was a semi-independent prince, Chen's status in Qi was not as good as his, this son was an outsider, and in just three years, he could do something that the Chen family could not reach in one hundred and fifty years, as a peer, how could Chen Heng not be jealous and grit his teeth?
Therefore, there was a sense of shirk in his words, but he didn't want to be angry for Zhao Wuxian.
"It's not that I'm insincere, but the two countries are happy, and there is no opportunity to destroy......"
Zhao Wuxian clapped his hands and said, "Who said no?" ”
Chen Heng followed his eyes and looked up, but saw that the dance and music of the Lu Kingdom had ended, and it was the turn of the Qi people to appear. He is a smart person, and when he thinks about it, he can't help but be stunned, and secretly says that this Zhao Wuxian is really a bold person......
……
"Swallowing, drunken words and dancing. Yu Xu Lexi! ”
As Zhong Xuan stopped, the dancers dispersed, and the depressing and long Lu dance music finally ended!
Qi Hou, who was already drowsy, suddenly perked up, and now it was the turn of Qi Guo's dance music.
He skillfully beckoned, and Liang Qiu, the doctor in charge of dance music in Qi State, walked up to Qi Hou and Lu Hou in small steps, and said flatteringly: "Your Majesty, is it to play the Quartet dance music, or the palace dance music?" ”
Qi Hou recalled carefully, this was a previously scheduled program, and the so-called Quartet Dance Music was actually the Laiyi people who were holding swords, shields, and banners under the stage of the Huimeng. The arrangement of their appearance was naturally prepared to intimidate and threaten the Lu people, but now that the tough Zhao Wuxian is here, and the Lu people are also armed, these Laiyi people do not have to come up, and there is less truth to make the Lu people regret the peace talks.
So he bowed his head and said: "Naturally, it is to play the dance music of the Qi Palace!" ”
After that, it's our turn to get down to business! When the time comes, the custody puts Zhao Shizi in an embarrassing desperate situation.
As long as nothing else! (To be continued.) )
