Chapter 194: Conflict
"Foreign minister, King Xie Qi appreciates. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info" Wu Ming thanked him again.
At this time, a group of scantily clad dancers, like women in Qinglou, slowly entered the open space in the middle of the two sides.
Looking closely, there are a total of seven dancers, all of whom are coquettish, and an invisible charm slowly emanates from their bodies when they walk.
However, those present are the top figures of this era, and the dancers have seen a lot. It can even be said that as long as they want, what kind of woman can't see the real face.
Because of this, at first, King Qi Wei's gaze did not linger too much on them.
Rouge vulgar powder, these people have seen a lot. The music of the day is particularly commensurate with these women, and not many of the people present pay attention to these dancers.
But just when these dancers stood in formation with the dance posture.
The sound of the sword unsheathed from the middle instantly attracted the attention of the monarchs and ministers of both sides present. Even some of the guards had tightened their grips on their weapons.
It was only at this time that King Qi Wei could clearly see that two of the seven dancing girls were holding swords, although they were scantily clothed and their faces were delicate and colorful, but there was indifference on their faces, which was a kind of arrogant coldness. A kind of coldness that can't be seen in ordinary women.
These women were naturally brought in from Ling Tianxue's Fengyue Tower. Originally, it was used as the king of the prime minister, and then used it during the friendship celebration between the two countries, but in this case, Wu Ming could only have an idea and had to pull them out temporarily. In order to prevent the continued embarrassment of the scene.
As the dancing girls moved, that kind of scene instantly stunned King Qi Wei.
Instead of sitting opposite, King Wei Hui has never seen the scene of a woman dancing a sword, which will also be interesting to watch.
The courtiers of the two countries around, Zhu Wei, Tian Ji, Zou Ji, and even Sun Bin, who has never been very interested in women, paid attention to it quietly for a while at this time.
As for Wu Ming, while the eyes of others were attracted by these dancing girls, he gave instructions to Jin Yan who was with the army.
On the other side, King Wei Hui was obsessed with watching it, and quickly forgot his previous displeasure, and only concentrated on admiring the beautiful dance.
King Qi Wei on the opposite side was watching and pouting. The smile on his face never stopped.
β¦β¦
On the other side, at the rear of the camp of the 50,000 army of the Wei State, Chen Zhen got into the carriage accompanied by two thousand generals and a soldier.
With the wave of the reins, the cart galloped away with several people.
After that, Jin Yan hurriedly gathered an army of 20,000. The neat queue is like a long queue.
"Let's go." With the order of Jin Yan on horseback, the 20,000 army bypassed the dense camp area. Like a desolate beast shuttling through the night, it went straight to the city of Diqiu in the south.
On the city tower north of Emperor Hill, Wei Chengcheng stood in the wind, his spacious robe swaying in the wind. In the distance, the teams of the kings of Qi and Wei were singing and dancing, so lively.
The faint sound of cheers and music made Wei Chenggong's heart feel disgusted.
The look on his face was indescribably gloomy.
"Humph!"
Suddenly, there was a cold snort. Wei Chenggong had already kicked on the thick and solid city wall, but it did hurt himself.
At that moment when his face was distorted, the ministers beside him suddenly pointed to the northwest direction and exclaimed, "Your Majesty, do you think that's it?" β
Wei Chenggong immediately squinted, held back the pain, and straightened up. Following the minister's pointing, a carriage was galloping towards the city not far away.
Needless to say, there must have been Chen Zhen and his party in the car. It's just that the moment Wei Chenggong saw the carriage and horse, he flicked his sleeves suddenly, turned around and left.
"Your Majesty......" Behind him, the four courtiers of the six gods and no masters also hurriedly turned around and shouted softly. At this moment, they simply don't know what to do.
If Wei Chenggong leaves at this time, how should the people from Wei deal with it?
As if he knew what these people wanted to say, Wei Chenggong replied coldly without replying: "Inform the guards to hide all of them, let Wei Envoy treat it as if there is no one here, no matter what he says, just ignore it." β
After speaking, he flicked his sleeves again, and snorted coldly disdainfully when he raised his legs, and whispered to himself: "Hmph, when the army of Chu arrives, see what are you still angryββ"
Hearing the anger in Wei Chenggong's words, the four courtiers present were submissive, one by one, you look at me, I look at you, and they were stunned for a while.
The guards on the city walls were all hidden under the command of the ministers. At this time, outside the city, it seemed that there were only dozens of torches burning on the city wall, but there were no guards in sight.
"Xiangguo, it seems that Wei Gong is deliberately avoiding us." When they rode their horses to the city, the soldier who drove the car said loudly, "I was able to see people just now." It's only been a while, and there is no one left, besides, how can there be no guards on the tower of Emperor Hill City. This is clearly not normal. β
"It's not normal, and it's not normal!" Chen Zhen got out of the carriage and sneered: "Could it be that Duke Wei thinks that he can get rid of me by signing an alliance with the State of Chu." β
After some cynicism, Chen Zhen said to the soldier who was driving: "Go, shout twice to see, and ask if there are any living people inside." β
"Yes." The soldier immediately answered and trotted under the city gate.
"The prime minister of Wei is coming, and you won't open the city gate soon." This first sentence is kind of polite.
Then the soldier called twice, one louder than the other, but no one answered anything.
Then, the soldier began to curse, "The people inside are dead." Hurry up and open the door, otherwise the Wei army is approaching and will level the city of Diqiu. β
threatened, but still did not answer.
It's not that the soldier's intimidation is useless. If he had been able to climb the city wall, he would have found that the courtiers who stayed on the tower were already curled up and trembling.
On that forehead, cold sweat broke out. But without Wei Chenggong's order, they still didn't dare to speak out.
Not long after, Jin Yan had already brought some brigades of Wei soldiers to the chrysalis. The sound of the march, and the guards on the city tower, were also frightened.
Emperor Hill City, full of more than 4,000 guards and guards. And they are all lazy and lazy on weekdays, waiting for death.
To put it bluntly, their combat effectiveness is like a chicken facing an eagle in front of today's Wei Wushu. If it weren't for them on the city wall, I was afraid that these soldiers would have laid down their weapons and surrendered first.
Jin Yan's arrival was originally just to prevent the guards from doing anything to Chen Zhen, and he brought 20,000 soldiers just to intimidate the monarchs and ministers of the country, so that they should not be too arrogant.
But when I got to the city, I saw the situation. Jin Yan's face instantly became gloomy.
Without saying a word, he directly drew out his sword, stretched out his hand and pointed at Emperor Qiu Chenglou, and spit out two rough words in his mouth: "Release the arrow." β
In the next moment, the 10,000 soldiers led by him had already taken off their bows, mounted arrows, and shot the first wave of arrows in the shortest possible time.
This time, some of the arrows equipped by Wei Wushu were made of iron, which was sharper than copper.
On the night of the full moon, ten thousand arrows are fired. The neatly packed arrows were all flashing with cold light, and the sharp sound of breaking through the air poured down towards the walls of the Emperor Hill like a downpour.
At that moment, Jin Yan faintly heard the shouts of the soldiers on the city tower after they were injured.
The soldiers of Emperor Hill City listened. Immediately open the city gate, let you Wei Gong go out of the city to welcome my Wei Xiangguo. Otherwise, once the city is broken, it will not be as persuasive as it is now. Jin Yan showed the anger on his face. Screamed hard at the castle tower.
It can be determined that there are people on the castle tower. But even so, no one dared to come out and say a word at this time.
One of the courtiers looked at a feathered arrow inserted in the floor tile in front of him, and his eyes widened in fright, and his mouth widened, and he almost couldn't help but cry out.
It felt like he had picked up a life and came back. After finally catching his breath, he used his trembling arms to hold on to the wall and moved to the staircase little by little. He bowed and ran down the tower as fast as he could.
In the dormitory, Wei Chengcheng was enjoying the service of the two beauties. The candlelight shines through the bright red satin, creating an ambiguous atmosphere in the entire dormitory.
On the couch, Wei Chenggong was lying down leisurely, two beauties wearing only underwear, one was gently rubbing both sides of Wei Chenggong's forehead with his soft hands.
The other slowly put some cut fruit into Wei Chenggong's mouth.
At this time, the eunuch guarding the door hurriedly walked into the dormitory, behind the red twilight, bowed his head, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the army of Wei has been assembled outside the city, saying that if you don't see your lord tonight, you will directly attack the city." β
"Siege?!"
As soon as he heard these two words, Wei Chenggong suddenly got up. Push away the beauty in front of you.
Wei Chenggong directly put on his outer robe, and while tidying up, he hurriedly walked out.
As soon as he saw the courtier waiting outside, Wei Chenggong's anger rose irrepressibly, "Didn't you say that you were all hidden?" Ignore what the Wei people say, when the Chu army arrives, everything will be solved. Are you all widows in your ears? β
He scolded sharply, and the already frightened courtier he said knelt down on the low level at a loss, and kept kowtowing, the courtier said with a depressed face: "The king is angry, the king is angry...... The ministers did not show up, but the Wei army caused it, and the Wei generals directly shot a wave of arrows onto the city tower, and we have already killed and injured hundreds of people. If it goes on like this, the Wei army is only afraid that it will attack the city, and what will happen when the time comesββ"
"How's that good?" Overturned the vase in his hand, Wei Chenggong was already furious, "What do you say?" What do you want, you shit......
"Yes...... Yes......" The courtier succumbed to the ground, and in a panic, he didn't even dare to come out.
After venting, Wei Chenggong thought about it a little calmly, and asked loudly: "Do you know how many people from the Wei army came?" β
"This ...... Weichen doesn't know! The king asked his ministers and others to hide, and no one dared to look at it, for fear of being discovered by the Wei army, but judging from the rain of arrows, it was at least tens of thousands of people. β
"Tens of thousands? If there are only 10,000 soldiers, don't worry, but after all, there are 50,000 Wei troops coming! Wei Chenggong turned his body and muttered to himself, the green tendons on his forehead had already burst out, "No, we must not let the Wei army attack the city now, and we must not let the Wei army attack the city......"
After thinking for a while, he finally slapped his head and said loudly: "By the way, who was in the carriage that came first?" Is he still there? β
"Yes...... It should be the Xiangguo of Wei, I don't know if it's still outside the city at the moment......" The courtier replied softly, but he still didn't dare to look up.
"Go, let's just say that the widow suddenly felt cold, and it was inconvenient to go out of the city to greet him. Hurry up and recruit this person in, as long as it is delayed, the Wei army will not let the Wei army attack the city. β
"Minister, obey the order."
As soon as the words fell, the courtier crawled and ran out as if fleeing, but the trembling legs were still telling the fear in his heart.
Turning around, Wei Chenggong turned to the eunuch who was standing on the side with his bow, not daring to speak at all, and ordered angrily: "Why don't you go and send a doctor to ...... quickly."
"Yes......"
After the eunuch left, Wei Chenggong walked through the twilight again, took off his robe and lay back on the couch.
"Take all these things down and bring them in a basin of water." Pointing to the fruits and other things placed in front of him, Wei Chenggong commanded the two beauties.
On the castle tower, the courtier first asked a soldier to carefully shake the torch twice, "The general is angry, the general is angryβ"
Under the city, with Jin Yan waving his hand back, the bow and arrow that had been prepared were released again.
At the head of the city, the courtier trembled and showed his head, looked at Jin Yan who was glaring angrily, and said cautiously: "The general is angry, and Duke Wei suddenly feels cold and unwell. This snubbed King Wei. Dare to ask the general what is the so-called reason for coming here late at night? β
Jin Yan didn't know which one this Wei Gong sang. But Chen Zhen, who knew the situation, sneered, and was still unable to get out of the body by the envoy of Chu at dusk.
Without waiting for Jin Yan to speak, Chen Zhen had already shouted to the city with a smile: "My king learned that Duke Wei was unwell, and specially sent his own minister to visit here, why, Duke Wei has a serious illness, and you don't even dare to open a city gate?" β
"I didn't know that Lord Xiangguo was coming, please calm your anger...... In the next place, the city gate will be opened to welcome the Lord Xiangguo into the city. β
This is nothing more than gibberish with your eyes open. However, this is the only way to go.
As soon as the words fell, he hurried down the tower and ordered the soldiers to open the gates.
Outside the door, Chen Zhen was already waiting in front of the door accompanied by two thousand generals.
The courtiers who came out to greet Chen Zhen naturally didn't dare to slack off, and immediately stepped aside, stretched out their hands to give courtesy: "Xiangguo, please ......"
Chen Zhen didn't say anything, grinned and didn't say anything, and strode in without any politeness.
"Humph!" The two thousand people behind him who would meet the courtier's gaze were only a cold snort. Then he followed Chen Zhen closely.
