Zhao Yu walked into the main hall with the hundred officials, and then sat on the main seat, and the hundred officials stood on both sides according to their grades. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
looked around at Zhao Yu, and then looked at Huang Hao, who was standing respectfully on the side: "The envoys of all countries enter the hall."
"Obey". Huang Hao saluted respectfully, turned around and walked outside the main hall.
After a short time, the sound of footsteps sounded, Wei, Qi, Qin, Chu, Han, Zhongshan, Lou Fu, and Lin Hu walked into the main hall in turn, and saluted respectfully to Zhao Yu: "See King Zhao."
"I don't know if King Zhao has already figured it out, whether to cede the land of Xincheng to my clan and Lin Hu." The envoy didn't wait for Zhao Yu to speak, and immediately asked him a question.
The envoy of Lin Hu also took the opportunity to echo: "Please also ask King Zhao to give me a word."
"Could it be that the people in the north are like you and Lin Hu, so ignorant of etiquette?" Zhao Wuming walked out from the first position on the upper right hand and questioned Lou Fu and Lin Hu's envoys.
Lin Hu and Lou annoyed the envoys, looking at Zhao Wuming who walked out, they were slightly stunned, and reacted instantly. When this person entered the city some time ago, he couldn't help but say that he killed the general Lou Fu: "It's you."
"You are so bold, when the original envoy and the envoy Lin Hu entered Handan, you couldn't help but say that you killed the general of our clan." The envoy looked at Zhao Wuming with an angry expression, and then turned his gaze to Zhao Yu and saluted him respectfully: "King Zhao, this person killed the general of my clan, have you not given a clear answer to my clan."
The envoys of Wei, Qi, Qin, Chu, Han, Zhongshan and other countries showed the look of watching the play, thinking that the two clans were just taking advantage of the fire to rob, but they did not expect that there would be such a good show.
Zhao Yu's face sank instantly, and just as he wanted to attack, he thought of the current internal and external situation, and then his voice became soft: "The widow said that it was you who did not obey the laws of our country first, why are you still entangled in this matter."
"Since King Zhao is so protective of this person, he is helpless in Handan. But when the envoy returns, he will tell me the king as it is. When the time comes, we will have our own army to seek justice for the warriors who have died unjustly." Anger flashed in the envoy's eyes, and his words were full of threats.
Not to be outdone, the envoy Lin Hu expressed his support to the envoy: "King Zhao turned out to be such an arrogant person, and the envoy will inform my king of this matter when he goes back, and I hope that King Zhao will still be able to deal with it so safely at that time."
"The two envoys are calm and don't be impatient......". Da Wuwu, who was standing behind Zhao Wuming, couldn't stand it, and hurriedly persuaded him.
Zhao Wuming interrupted his words by looking at Da Wuwu, and then looked directly at the envoys of Lou Fan and Lin Hu: "Lou Fu and Lin Hu are so powerful, I don't know how the envoys of the two clans plan to deal with Lone, so that the two clans can feel at ease."
"It is an eternal truth that those who kill pay for their lives, and those who instruct others to kill also pay for their lives. If you can kill yourself on top of this great hall, then you will be able to stop it." The envoy replied to Zhao Wuming without showing weakness, without any emotion in his tone, but the smile that flashed at the corner of his mouth revealed his murderous intent.
The envoy smiled, as if watching the feast that was about to appear: "Kill yourself, only your blood can extinguish the anger in the heart of King Lou Fu and my King Linhu."
"Presumptuous, where is the forbidden army in front of the palace". Zhao Yu couldn't suppress the anger in his heart anymore, and suddenly stood up and almost roared outside.
Footsteps sounded, and two soldiers of the Forbidden Army, dressed in heavy armor and armed with swords, walked in. didn't speak, just saluted respectfully to Zhao Yu and waited for the order.
Zhao Wuming's heart warmed when he looked at Zhao Yu's actions, and he immediately spoke out to stop him: "Wait, since you are an envoy, how can you let the sword soldiers add to you." Since they are targeting Lone, how can Lone let the eldest brother be angry for Lone. Please also ask the eldest brother to take a break from his anger and let Gu settle this account with them."
"Stand down." Zhao Yu's anger disappeared at this time, and he immediately regretted what he had just done, and then ordered to the two forbidden army soldiers.
The two soldiers of the forbidden army replied respectfully: "Obey the order."
As soon as the words fell, he turned around and walked out of the main hall.
When the envoys of various countries saw this scene, the corners of their mouths showed a smile, and they didn't know whether they were laughing at Zhao Guo or Lou Fu and Lin Hu.
After Zhao Wuming saw the two forbidden army soldiers leaving, he looked at Lou Fu and Lin Hu's envoys: "Since you want to kill yourself so much, but Gu is very puzzled, what are you relying on?" How dare you say this in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and in front of the envoys of various countries on this main hall."
"The murderer pays for his life, and here is the reason of heaven and earth, why don't the envoys dare to say it?" The envoy replied to Zhao Wuming without thinking.
Zhao Wuming seemed to have heard a joke, and a mocking look appeared on his face: "The intruder pays for his life? I don't know if you are annoying and Lin Hu, going south every year. How many people have I killed in Zhao Kingdom, and how many women and wealth have I plundered. If the intruder pays for his life, should all of you and your two tribes kill themselves?"
"The weak are born to be the property of the strong, and it is a matter of course to take and take away, so how can it be said that there is a way to pay for life. If you don't accept it, you can let King Zhao send a large army to attack, and I have hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen." The envoy looked at Zhao Wuming's serious reply, but his words were full of arrogance.
The envoy of Lin Hu echoed without thinking: "If you Zhao State is not convinced, you can also levy a large army to attack." I have hundreds of thousands of elite archers, and I am not afraid."
"Archers? Iron Rider? “。 Zhao Wuming looked at Lin Hu and Lou Fu's envoys, and there was a look of disdain in his eyes: "It's just selling and boasting."
The envoy was furious: "I annoyed hundreds of thousands of elite iron horsemen, and the world knows how to boast about it."
"My Lin Hu archers are world-famous, so why praise myself." The envoy of Linhu also showed anger.
Zhao Yu looked at the envoys of the two clans above the main hall, revealing angry faces. Then he looked at Zhao Wuming as if he had thought of something, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Zhao Wuming looked at the envoys of the two clans and proposed to them: "I don't know if I sell myself and boast about myself, but I know that as long as I compare everything, it will be clear at a glance."
"Compare, how do you want to compete?". The envoys of the two clans agreed without thinking, and Zhao Guo was still afraid.
A smile flashed at the corner of Zhao Wuming's mouth: "I, Zhao Guo, are full of talents, so as not to let you say that we are bullying the small, I won't let them make a move." Just use those crooked melons and cracked dates in the lonely mansion, and Lin Hubi archery, and Lou Fu to compare cavalry, I don't know what you think."
"Crooked melon and cracked dates? As long as you are not afraid of losing the face of your Zhao Kingdom, what are we afraid of." Lin Hu and Lou Fu glanced at each other, and at the same time spoke out in agreement.
The smile on Zhao Wuming's face became a little thicker: "Since it is a competition, Lone proposes the location, and you propose the content of the competition."
"The envoy came from the south, accompanied by one hundred and twenty soldiers, all of whom were brave warriors on horseback. The envoy proposed that each of the 100 soldiers fight, and this competition is like a battlefield, regardless of life or death. The winner lives, and the loser dies". The envoy said the rules to Zhao Wuming, wanting to use this to intimidate the other party in terms of momentum.
Without waiting for Zhao Wuming to speak, the envoy Lin Hu immediately spoke: "This envoy is not so bloody, since it is an archery competition, then there is no need for the two sides to fight." You and I will compete with an archer, and whoever is skilled in archery will win."
"Well, according to the words of the two envoys, I implore the envoys of all countries to bear witness. lest some people can't afford to lose". After Zhao Wuming finished speaking, his eyes looked around at the envoys of the various countries who showed the expressions of watching the play, and asked for them.
The envoys of the six countries smiled at the same time and nodded slightly at Zhao Wuming.
"To win is to win, and to lose is to lose. The people I annoy are all warriors of one to one, how can they break their promises and get fat." The envoy was furious and glared at Zhao Wuming.
The envoy of Lin Hu smiled gloomily at Zhao Wuming: "It can't be that some people can't afford to lose."
"Who is the one who can't afford to lose, isn't it clear after the comparison?". Not to be outdone, Zhao Wuming replied, and then as if he had done something, he looked at Lou Fu and Lin Hu: "Since you want to compete, I don't know if your manpower is ready."
"When I enter the palace to meet King Zhao, how can I mention the convening of people." Lou annoyed the envoy replied without thinking.
The envoy of Lin Hu pondered slightly: "When there will be a cavalry battle, it is better for us to agree on a place outside and each of us will have a competition with men." I don't know what you think."
"Now that you've set the rules, it's up to Lone to choose the location." Zhao Wuming didn't say yes or disagree, he just asked them.
Lou Fu and Lin Hu envoys nodded slightly: "For the sake of fairness, it should be so."
"I also asked the eldest brother to issue an order to let the hundred officials and envoys of all countries in this palace go to the east gate of Handan to watch the competition. Gu returned to the mansion to gather people, and the envoys of Lin Hu and Lou Fu returned to the embassy to prepare, and the competition began after half an hour." Zhao Wuming thought for a moment and proposed to Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu nodded slowly and immediately gave an order, but was stopped by Da Wuwu's words: "The four sons of the king are very calculating, and they are all the people of the four princes of the king and the two clans. If he wins, the face of the fourth prince of Chengwang will rise greatly. If I lose, won't I lose the face of Zhao State."
"Xiangguo's words are reasonable, and this matter is just a matter of the four princes of Chengwang and the envoys of Lou Fu and Linhu." The hundred officials suddenly realized, and after a long time, it turned out that Zhao Wuming was talking with Lin Hu and Lou Fu.
Gao Zhao thought in his heart, and was about to say something to help, but Zhao Wuming's voice had already come: "Then I don't know how Xiangguo plans to arrange this time?" Or is it that in the eyes of Xiangguo, my Zhao soldiers can't compare to Lou Fu and Lin Hu."
Da Wuwu was immediately furious: "Our soldiers are naturally rare elites in the world, so why should the fourth prince of Cheng slander his true appearance." It's just that only the people in the mansion of the fourth prince of Chengcheng are involved in this matter, and it does not represent my Zhao country."
"Then according to Xiangguo's words, what should I do?" Zhao Wuming looked at Da Wuwu and asked unceremoniously.
Watching Zhao Guoxiangguo Dawuwu and Zhao Wuming arguing, the envoys of all countries in the hall had a smile on their faces a little thicker. can argue in front of them outsiders, so isn't this a good show in private.
Da Wuwu looked at Zhao Yu: "This matter should be decided by the king."
"I don't know what the big brother means." Zhao Wuming followed Da Wuwu's words and looked at Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu showed a look of embarrassment, and looked at the envoys of Lou Fu and Lin Hu: "The widow wants to add some people to come in to compete, I don't know if it's okay."
"No matter whether you live or die in a cavalry battle, you are not afraid of the jokes of the world when you do wheel warfare." The envoy was sarcastic without thinking.
Zhao Yu was a little embarrassed, but instantly returned to normal. After all, this is a dispute between the Zhao State and the two clans, and it is really inappropriate to just let the fourth brother compete with others: "The cavalry battle is a bit special, it is better for the Lou Fu envoy to divide the hundred horsemen into two teams, one team of fifty people." The widow and the fourth brother each sent fifty men and fought two duels. As for archery, it is not a battle of life and death, it is better to arrange two battles like a horse battle, I don't know what the two envoys want."
"Since King Zhao has arranged it like this, there is a way to be a guest and a host, and we are not afraid of challenges." The envoys of the two clans, Lou Fu and Lin Hu, glanced at each other, nodded slightly and agreed to Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu saw that the envoys of the two tribes agreed, and immediately issued an order: "An hour later, the competition outside the east gate of Handan will be a test of archery and cavalry." The fourth brother can go back to the house to prepare first, Lin Hu and Lou Fu can go back to the post house, and the rest of the people go to the east gate of Handan with the widow. The national lieutenant also called Xue Qian to go, and the widow had other arrangements at that time."
"Obey". Hundreds of officials and envoys from various countries bowed down to receive the order and followed Zhao Yu to the outside of the main hall. (To be continued.) )
