The three divisions were all masks, leaving only a pair of cold eyes, which were awe-inspiring and majestic from the outside. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, the man with the golden mask had a broken arm, and he looked a little lonely. Xiao Buyi knew that the one with the red mask should be Sima, but the one with the golden mask was Situ, and the person with the silver mask should be Sikong under King Miao.

But the three divisions are all powerful Bashu, I don't know what kind of person can make Situ break his arm? However, since Situ can stand here alive, he must have let the person who broke his arm be doomed a long time ago.

Xiao Buyi was inconvenient to look at more, his eyes swept away, and he had already sat down, he understood the situation, although there was no sacrificial saint on the field, but King Da Miao brought his three sons and three divisions to see him, which could be regarded as giving him enough face.

He didn't expect that the three sons of the Great Miao King were not easy to deal with Yunshui, but this Great Miao King seemed to have a good attitude towards him.

This is a good signal, but he didn't dare to be careless at all, and when he was thinking about how to speak, Dan Bajiu had already glanced at the gift list and sneered: "The Central Plains is a big place, so the things brought by the King of Xiliang are really thin enough." ”

After Li Yuan conquered Chang'an, Xijing, he took all the treasures and palace maids in the palace near Xijing, and prepared several generous gifts for others, one was sent to the Turks to ask for the support of the Turks, and the other was sent to Bashu, so that Li Xiaogong could take care of the land of Bashu. Danbajiu controls Yanjing, and he is greedy for money, Li Xiaogong didn't even say anything, just a generous gift made Danbajiu take refuge. Danbajiu couldn't help but laugh when he saw that the gift list was nothing more than some specialties of the Central Plains, and there were not many of them converted into jewelry.

King Da Miao didn't look at the gift list, but just picked up the tea bowl and said, "Distinguished guests, please use tea." ”

Xiao Buyi saw King Da Miao trembling and holding up the tea, respectfully picked up the tea bowl with both hands, raised it above his head and said, "King Xie Miao." ”

Lang Du Cha Kill originally didn't have any feelings for Xiao Buyi, but it can be seen that since he entered Miao Village, his every move has been very respectful to King Miao, and he has no lack of courtesy, and his heart has a slight favor.

Yun Shui giggled and said, "Xiao Buyi, your politeness can be used in the right place, and King Da Miao likes this." ”

"Yunshui, don't be rude." Lang Du scolded.

Yun Shui was smiling and disapproving, and after Xiao Buyi took a sip of tea, he looked at Danba Jiu and said, "I don't know if you have ever heard the story of sending goose feathers for thousands of miles?" ”

He was polite to King Da Miao, just because King Da Miao was the master of the Miao people, and the two could be compared at the moment. But after all, he is the king of Xiliang in the Central Plains, and he doesn't have to be respectful to Danbajiu.

Dan Bajiu heard Xiao Buyi call you directly, his heart was unhappy, and he said coldly: "It turns out that you are here to tell a story?" ”

Xiao Buyi smiled, but King Da Miao said softly: "When you are older, you still like to listen to stories, and you dare not ask what this story is?" ”

Xiao Buyi said with a smile: "This story is also simple, that is, there was an envoy from a country in the Western Regions who sent rare birds and beasts to Emperor Sui, but the most valuable rare bird here was a white swan. But when the messenger let the white swan out to drink water, it broke free from the chains and fled, and the messenger was terrified, but he gave the white swan's feathers to Emperor Sui. I thought that I would be ridiculed and punished, but I didn't expect Emperor Sui to reward him greatly, and only said, send goose feathers for thousands of miles, and the courtesy is light and affectionate. This gift just represents a sincere heart, if you really weigh the gift, it will make people unable to understand the other party's mind. ”

He made a pun, Danba was red-faced, thinking of the gift given by Li Xiaogong, he only thought that Xiao Buyi was alluding to, and he couldn't help but dare not say anything more in his heart.

Ma Zhou prides himself on being erudite and talented, but when he heard Xiao Buyi's story, he also secretly wondered. He didn't have this story in his memory, he didn't know where Xiao Buyi heard it, he felt that Xiao Buyi was making it up, but this moment of hard work was able to make up such a story, which was neither humble nor arrogant, and the King of Xiliang must have come prepared. He didn't know that this allusion was a legend of later generations, and Xiao Buyi was just placed on the body of Emperor Sui.

King Da Miao sighed lightly, "It's really a good story, just based on this story, you should invite your guests to drink another cup of tea." ”

As soon as he waved his hand, a Miao girl stepped forward and changed a cup of tea for Xiao Buyi.

The cup of tea just now tasted sweet, but the second cup of tea was a little bitter, Xiao Buyi raised the tea above his head with both hands, and said in a deep voice: "Xie Da Miao Wang's tea." He drank the tea slowly, and the faces of the people next to him changed slightly, and Gu Liye wanted to say something, but finally held back.

Yun Shui muttered, "It's the second cup." ”

Qin Shubao and Shi Danai had already heard what Yun Shui said, and they couldn't help frowning. The Miao people's Gu poison makes people feel cold, even if they are not close to the Miao people, they must beware of their colorless and tasteless Gu poison, the two cups of tea that Xiao Buyi drank are green and faint and make people hairy, if the Great Miao King wants to harm people, here are deadly Gu poisons, so what should I do?

Xiao Buyi gently put down the teacup and was about to say something, when King Da Miao suddenly said, "Distinguished guest, how is this tea?" ”

"Actually, I don't know how to taste tea." Xiao Buyi said apologetically: "Please forgive King Da Miao." ”

King Da Miao laughed again, "Whether you can taste tea is secondary, and after drinking tea, you should always taste something else." ”

Xiao Buyi groaned slightly: "These two cups of tea are sweet first and then bitter, bitter and sweet, presumably similar to life." If you can be happy, you may taste another flavor. ”

King Da Miao looked at Xiao Buyi for a long time, and then said, "Although you don't know how to taste tea, you say it very well." ”

He picked up the teacup and sipped it slowly, but Yun Shui snorted coldly: "I don't think it's good to say." ”

Xiao Buyi ignored it, knowing that it would be unwise to argue with her. Right now, for him, defeating Lee Hyo-kung is the opposite. Since King Da Miao went out in person, Xiao Buyi took the lead, because he knew that the Miao people were still what King Miao said at the moment. He has repeatedly discussed with Ma Zhou and others in the past few days, and he already knows more or less why some Miao people hate the Central Plains people so much. The most important thing now is to show sincerity and dispel the bad impressions of the past.

"Actually, in addition to these small gifts, I also want to give King Miao another gift, but I don't know if King Miao can accept it?" Xiao Buyi said suddenly.

Danba Jiu became interested, "What is that, take it out and take a look?" ”

Regarding the second son's surname, King Da Miao didn't say much, but said, "I don't know what kind of gift it is?" ”

"My gift is ...... I want to send seedlings to the peace of the people for decades. Xiao Buyi said in a deep voice.

Danba Jiu was stunned, and sneered in an instant, "King Xiliang, do you have the ability to do this?" ”

Ma Zhou stepped forward and said, "King Xiliang, Weichen has something to say." ”

Xiao Buyi looked at King Miao and said, "King Miao, my subordinates don't understand the rules, but I want to say a few words, I don't know if King Miao can allow it?" ”

Since he talked to King Da Miao, except for Dan Ba Jiu and Yun Shui who interjected, the rest of the people were silent, Xiao Buyi's move seemed respectful, but he was sarcastically saying that Dan Ba Jiu didn't understand the rules.

Danbajiu really didn't understand, and said loudly: "King Xiliang, what kind of thing are your subordinates, and they are also worthy of talking to King Miao?" ”

King Miao put down the teacup and sighed lightly: "Second child...... Are you done? ”

His tone was light, but Danba Jiu immediately bowed down and said, "Dad, I'm just ......"

"Just what? Have you forgotten what I said to you? King Miao's words were flat, without the slightest hint of annoyance, and certainly not any hint of joy.

Decades of wind and rain have long turned the old man into an honor and disgrace, and even if he scolds his son, he does not have half of the anger.

Danba Jiu's face showed a look of fear, and he said in a low voice: "The child never dares to forget what his father said. ”

King Miao muttered: "The Central Plains has a good saying...... The lady will insult herself, and then she will be insulted; The house will destroy itself, and the generations after it will destroy it; The kingdom will cut down itself, and the descendants will cut it down! Do you three brothers remember this sentence? ”

The three brothers of Guliye saluted in unison: "The child remembers. ”

King Miao's gaze swept over his three sons, cast him on the mountain peak in the distance, and said softly: "I have never cared about the affairs of your three brothers over the years, because I know ...... In many cases, lessons can make people grow, and I only hope that you three brothers can bring peace and stability to your clan, but I still don't feel at ease...... I don't worry about putting the fate of my people in your hands. ”

He muttered to himself, no one dared to answer, Xiao Buyi added to the old man's eyes shining, and at that moment he suddenly had understanding and more confidence.

Only then did he understand why Li Jing let him persuade him with sincerity alone, because Li Jing obviously understood this old man, but how could Li Jing understand how many secrets Li Jing and the bearded guest still hid from him?

But no matter how many secrets are buried, Xiao Buyi already knows that although the three brothers and King Miao are different, they are all from one side to the other, there are chivalrous, there are princes, there are generals and the leaders of the clansmen, but they are still essentially a kind of people, that is, they are all responsible people and sober people.

When dealing with such people, there are many things that need not be said.

"Do you think that the alliance of ten miles of welcome, one hundred sheng songs, and seven teas is a matter of losing face?" King Da Miao looked at his three sons, "You are very wrong! I want the king of Xiliang to come as the lord of the Central Plains, and he has already given you a lot of face, if you don't know how to cherish it, you can only take shame on yourself. Whether the King of Xiliang is our friend or an enemy, giving your opponent enough respect is something you will always need to do. People will insult themselves, and then they will insult them, do you think that jewelry is a sign of respect for you? You are wrong again, and if you offer jewelry, it is actually the greatest insult to you, because in their minds, you are nothing more than a person who can be driven by money. Love is always in the heart, jewelry is like dung......"

Xiao Buyi smiled, Ah Rust heard it on the side, but said secretly, if this is the case, then I really hope that someone can insult me well. But in any case, things are always developing in a good direction, and this big seedling king is not simple. Slanted a glance at Yunshui, seeing that she didn't take anything to heart with a smile, Ah Rust could only sigh in her heart, wishing that it was herself who was in the Seven Emotions Gu, maybe only then could she take a look at herself.

"Home is the same as people, the country is the same as the family, it must be self-destructive and self-defeating before it can be destroyed. Boss, I asked you to take care of the safety of the clan, second, I asked you to ensure that the Miao people had enough food and clothing, but the boss you spent money to buy outsiders and make trouble with the second child, but the second child wanted to hire someone to make trouble for Yunshui and blame the king of Xiliang, is this the reason for guarding the family? The house will destroy itself, and future generations will destroy it, and now your brothers are destroying this home, and it won't be long before someone will help you destroy it. How can I rest assured that you are guarding your house like this? ”

As soon as he said this, Gu Liye and Danba Jiu were all red-faced, they never thought that their open and secret battles had already been seen by their father.

"Dad, I didn't find anyone to make trouble for Yunshui." Danba Jiu finally retorted, but it sounded unusually weak.

"If you really have a clear conscience," King Da Miao smiled, "This is a conscience Gu, drink it, and I will believe you!" ”

He picked up the teacup in front of him and remained silent. Danba Jiu Huo Ran changed color, and said, "Dad, you don't believe me? ”

When everyone saw King Da Miao casually picking up a cup of tea, they had already been poisoned, and their faces changed slightly. From beginning to end, this Da Miao King seems to be in his last years, but who knows how many songs, tears, sadness and horror stories there are in his life?

"I believe you, that's why I will prove my conscience Gu to others." King Da Miao said softly: "If you believe me, why don't you drink it?" ”

Danba Jiu looked at the cup of tea, and a terrifying expression appeared on his face. Xiao Buyi and the others listened, but they were also surprised and admired, they didn't know that King Da Miao had already begun to meddle in this matter, or everything that had been found out in just three days, but this old man was undoubtedly a rare wise man.

"I see." King Da Miao kept looking at his son's face and shook his head, "I understand whether you drink it or not." He drank all the tea in his hand, looked at Ma Zhou with a smile and said, "You can say it." ”

Ma Zhou showed an expression of admiration on his face, and said with a deep salute: "King Miao is fair and strict in his affairs, and he admires him a lot. ”

He originally wanted to redress Xiao Buyi's grievances and defend Xiao Yu, but it can be seen that King Da Miao lightly exposed the internal contradictions, and did not hide them, knowing that everything does not need to be said.

King Da Miao smiled and said, "You know the rules very well, very good." ”

Ma Zhou blushed a little, he was arrogant, but when he came here, he was really careful in everything, "It is not a lie that the King of Xiliang said that he could keep Bashu peaceful for decades, and he wanted the King of Xiliang to start from scratch, from a cloth cloth to a high position today, and he knows the suffering of the people better than anyone else." ”

Yun Shui glanced at him, "I've always been the county lord, but I don't understand those high-minded psychology. ”

Ma Zhou was slightly stunned, but King Da Miao smiled and said, "Go on." He was obviously very indulgent to Yun Shui, no matter what she said. Ma Zhou coughed lightly and ignored Yunshui, "I am also a cold student in the lower parts, and I have been promoted by the King of Xiliang, so I have been in the position so far, and I have deep feelings for the Corporal Lixian of the King of Xiliang and the love of the people like a son." In the next is also from the cold birth to the current position, what is said today is from the bottom of the heart, King Miao, Yunshui County Lord, if you don't believe it, you can give me another conscience Gu to drink, there is half a sentence against your heart in the next sentence, you can't die well! ”

When his words landed, everyone was moved, secretly thinking that Danba Jiu was a Miao person, and he was so afraid of conscience Gu, Ma Zhou actually took the initiative to ask to drink Gu poison, which was really unprecedented.

Yunshui pursed her lips and finally stopped saying anything, she really had nothing to say.

King Da Miao squinted his eyes and looked at Ma Zhou, and said indifferently: "This is what you took the initiative to ask, no wonder others." ”

Ma Zhou nodded, "There are no complaints." "He is a scholar, and he seems to be powerless, but he stands in front of the Great Miao King, and he has no fear.

King Miao stretched out his hand and made a move, and a Miao girl poured a cup of new tea, King Miao reached out and pushed it over, and said with a smile: "Drink it." ”

Ma Zhou did not hesitate, picked up the teacup with both hands, and drank it all. took a few steps back and said, "What you say now, the county lord can believe it, right?" ”

Yun Shuibian flattened his mouth, "I can tell you, if you really lie, your heart will be cracked immediately, and your seven orifices will bleed to death." This is not alarmist, I don't know if King Xiliang has told you about the harm of the Seven Emotions Gu. Here...... You see, that's an example. She stretched out her hand and pointed at Qin Shubao, everyone turned their heads to look over, and when they saw Qin Shubao smiling lightly, Yun Shui frowned a little. She obviously saw Qin Shubao's face showing pain, where did she think of the blink of an eye, and she was the same as no one. secretly said in his heart, this King of Xiliang is not necessarily very good, how can his subordinates be dead soldiers, and those two martial artists are forgotten, but Ma Zhou seems to be a weak scholar, useless, but the generosity and chivalry are really rare!

Ma Zhou said in a deep voice: "I believe in King Miao's divine skills, and I also believe in it, I have no shame in my heart, why am I afraid of Gu poison?" ”

His voice was loud and loud, and everyone showed admiration, only Sanji still stood there ghostly, not saying a word. Xiao Buyi squinted over, and for some reason, a strange feeling suddenly surged in his heart.

King Da Miao looked at Xiao Buyi and said, "King Xiliang, I envy you. At least you have such men, but I don't. ”

The three sons beside him were red-faced, and Lang Du Cha Kill stepped forward and said, "Dad, the child is willing to drink conscience Gu." ”

"Idiot, why do you drink it?" King Da Miao looked at Ma Zhou with a smile and said, "Now that you have drunk the Conscience Gu, you can say it." ”

Seeing that Ma Zhou drank the third bowl of tea, Danbajiu finally felt uneasy, quietly took a few steps back, found a subordinate to give a few words, and the subordinate left in a hurry, Xiao Buyi saw it in his eyes, and frowned secretly, not knowing what bad intentions this person was going to make.

Ma Zhou drank the Gu poison, felt that there was no discomfort in his body, and said in his heart that he was telling the truth, so he didn't need to be afraid, and continued: "Now that the Sui Dynasty is in chaos, the world is divided, and the King of Liang in the West is the most powerful!" Needless to say, although Bashu is stable at the moment, the terrain is concise, and it is only a matter of time before it is affected by the war. The king of Xiliang first took the land of Jingxiang, and then entered the eastern capital of the Central Plains, and the people of Jingxiang Quartet were applied, and millions of male soldiers were resisted by Wagang. Up to now, Jingxiang has become outside Bashu, the second place rarely affected by the war, and the eastern capital has been revitalized since the king of Western Liang came to power. Jingxiang is now rich in food and clothing, the people are happy, and the millions of thieves in Wagang were strong for a while, but under the hands of the king of Xiliang, they were wiped out, these are obvious to all, and there is no lie. But don't use the words, the world must eventually be unified, a mountain can not accommodate two tigers, the king of the West Liang to be benevolent in the world, with the tiger will quell the rebellion, there are countless capable ministers to assist in governing the world, sitting on Jingxiang, the tiger in the eastern capital, the sword points to all directions, the pacification of the world refers to the waiting, Guanzhong into the territory of the king of the Western Liang, it is only a matter of time sooner or later. ”

The Miao people listened to Ma Zhou's talk, their faces changed color, even if Yunshui heard it, they couldn't help but look at Xiao Buyi again. In her eyes, she only felt that Xiao Buyi was ordinary, but there were a few dead soldiers under him, this King of Xiliang seemed to be a bit exaggerated, how could he make the Central Plains heroes bow their heads. But where did she think that this person would shock the Central Plains and command the world, and he would be like this. If this person is really so majestic, it is not bad for grandpa to treat him politely. King Da Miao just said indifferently: "So what? ”

Ma Zhou said in a deep voice: "The king of Xiliang is compassionate and knows that Bashu has been stable for decades, but he can't bear to introduce the flames of war into Bashu. Only then did he come in person, saying that it was not an exaggeration to give a big gift. Thinking that Li Tang is ambitious and wants to use Bashu to send troops, how can we sit still and wait to die? Although we only have one place in Badong at the moment, I think that at the beginning, the king of Western Liang could resist the millions of soldiers in Wagang with one city in the eastern capital, so why not use the land of Badong to compete with Li Tang? But if there is a real war, Badi is only afraid that the people will not be able to live in a few years, and there will be many casualties, but it is definitely not what the king of Xiliang wants. ”

"And what do you want?" King Miao said softly.

"The king of Xiliang does not dare to let the king of Miao attach, only ask the king of Miao not to help, if Li Tang does not use Lu Bashu to attack the land of Jingxiang, the king of Xiliang will not use troops in Bashu in his lifetime!" Ma Zhou said in a deep voice.

Qin Shubao and the others were stunned, they didn't expect Ma Zhou to say such a condition, it can be seen that Xiao Buyi is still nothing, and it is inconvenient to say more.

King Da Miao pondered for a long time before he said, "King Xiliang, I don't know if what this person said is what you think in your heart?" ”

Xiao Buyi arched his hand on the seat and said: "What Ma Zhou said is indeed my heartfelt words. ”

The Miao people were shocked and had to reconsider Xiao Buyi's conditions. At the beginning, Xiao Buyi sent people to persuade the Miao people to return, and the three sons of the Great Miao King were all driven out without listening, in their opinion, it is time to choose. But it is a difficult problem to choose whether the king of Xiliang or the king of Tang.

Because if you make the wrong choice this time, it is likely to mean that there will be endless hidden dangers in the future. But they didn't expect that the king of Xiliang just asked them not to help each other. If that were the case, they could have waited until the world was settled.

"Do you think that if you don't use soldiers, King Tang won't use soldiers?" Guliye sneered.

Xiao Buyi smiled and said: "I think this king has already held the land of Jingxiang, sitting in the eastern capital, and Hebei is about to be recovered." If the king of Tang really dares to move troops against Bashu, as long as King Miao commands, I should send troops to help. This king does not go to the pass, but Tong Pass, Wuguan, and Jingcheng Pass are all in the attack of this king, plus the Tang King of Guanzhong has Xue Ju hundreds of thousands of troops in the west, and Liang Shidu and Liu Wuzhou are eyeing each other in the north, and the Tang King is an enemy in several places, and he is in danger, how can he have the courage to openly confront this king? ”

He was confident and hesitant in his tone, and he couldn't help others not believe it, and the eyes of the Miao people fell on Xiao Buyi, only to find that this person was outstanding.

Lang Du Cha had always looked down on the King of Xiliang, but after listening to him analyze the situation, he was secretly frightened, and he couldn't understand which one Li Xiaogong and Xiao Buyi said was correct. It turns out that they have always been in Bashu, the general trend of the world is not clear, but also never care about how to fight for the world, after hearing the news that Emperor Sui has died, the first thought is to go to which to protect the peace of the Miao people, at the beginning I only heard Li Xiaogong say that Shu water leads to the land of Jingxiang, there is a strong pawn in Ba, build a big ship down, Jing Chu can be obtained. If you have Bashu, Jingxiang is in hand, and if you have Jingxiang, the world will be decided. He was full of ambition when he heard what Li Xiaogong said, and when he saw Li Xiaogong's humility, he was a little convinced. But after all, Bashu will definitely go out to fight, but the King of Xiliang is even more tolerant, just now I listened to Ma Zhou's remarks, saying that the millions of troops were beaten by the King of Xiliang like ashes, Ma Zhou drank the conscience Gu, and actually did not have a seizure, which shows that he is telling the truth. But if Xiao Buyi really killed a million army, although King Tang is in Guanzhong, it is unknown whether there are millions of people in Guanzhong, how can he compete with Xiao Buyi?

He thinks so, and the Miao people also think so, Danbajiu listened to Xiao Buyi and Ma Zhou talking eloquently, indifferently, and also suspicious, only then did he understand why he arrested Xiao Yu, but his father sent someone early to tell him not to embarrass Xiao Yu, it turned out that the king of Xiliang behind Xiao Yu had such a background.

Da Miao Wang was still bland, and raised the teacup again and said, "Please tea!" ”

The Miao people's faces changed again, and Yun Shui said lightly: "It's the fourth cup so soon?" ”

Xiao Buyi's heart suddenly moved, and he had already thought of something Li Jing had said. It turns out that the Miao people's ten-mile welcome and the hundred-person sheng song are the prelude to the welcome negotiation, and the seven-tea alliance is the highlight of the Miao people. If King Miao respects you with seven cups of tea, it means that King Miao has made an oath with you and has never violated it. He just drank tea and thought it was polite, where did he think that King Da Miao would move so fast, and he had already finalized it step by step.

He and Ma Zhou Xiaozhi reasoned and persuaded King Da Miao that they had now drunk the fourth cup of tea, which showed that King Da Miao intended to form an alliance with them, but there were still three cups left to drink, and the remaining three cups of tea, I don't know what problems there would be?

(To be continued)
