Chapter 64: The Empress is Lirong
Gage quickly stood up and said, "Slow down, Lord Vice-Envoy, just now the Lord said that he wanted to see the Queen and the Prince, and I happen to know where the Queen and the Prince are." ”
"Oh. Yi Jiuxiao only said one word, and then sat down again.
"The location of the queen and the crown prince is heavily guarded, and you must go to report and get permission from the queen and the crown prince before you can bring your lords there, and please wait patiently here. ”
After saying that, Gage ordered his men to serve a pot of spiritual tea, and then got up and left.
Yi Jiuxiao sat alone in the living room, leisurely tasting spiritual tea.
It was pure waste for him to drink the spiritual tea, because he did not have a spiritual root and could not absorb the spiritual energy in the spiritual tea.
It seems that this spiritual tea is of good quality, and it tastes quite refreshing, and Yi Jiuxiao drinks it as an ordinary tea.
While drinking tea and thinking about things, the queen and the crown prince are set in this Hezhou City, and they will see how they will deal with it later.
Since he had promised Qi Qingru and Qi Qingyun to cancel the harmony, if the queen and the crown prince mentioned the harmony, he would definitely refuse.
If the two sides can talk well, he doesn't mind helping each other, if the talks are not good, he will walk away, and it can be regarded as a conclusion to the matter of harmony.
After about an hour, Gage returned to the living room and said, "Lord Vice-Envoy, the queen is invited!"
Yi Jiuxiao did not delay, and accompanied Gage out of the living room.
As soon as he reached the courtyard, Gage rose into the air, this is his territory, and naturally he has no scruples.
Seeing Gage take off, Yi Jiuxiao also flew up, and the two of them flew towards the west one after the other.
In a moment, he flew more than 20 miles and landed outside a military camp.
Yi Jiuxiao's search for the Wei royal forbidden army for three days was originally stationed in Hezhou City, no wonder he didn't see it along the way.
There are more than 20,000 people in the forbidden army, and they are also a group of 1,000 people, and these sergeants are all good in cultivation, and the lowest is also the fourth level of qi refining.
He couldn't help but sigh that the forbidden army was really elite, if the 20,000 forbidden army fought against the remaining 60,000 soldiers and horses of Ning State, it would definitely be the forbidden army that won in the end.
Since the queen has such strength, why is she still cowering in Hezhou City, not taking the initiative to respond to the enemy, and letting Shizhou fall.
It seems that things are not as simple as they seem, and there must be other variables.
Gage and Yi Jiuxiao fell outside the barracks, and it seemed that flying was forbidden in the sky above the barracks, not even Hezhou Taishou.
The barracks were very large, and the two of them walked three miles before they saw the central camp.
The tent was four zhang high, twenty zhang long and twenty zhang wide, and its appearance was magnificent, like a palace.
It seems that the queen is the queen, and when she is in trouble, she is not comparable to those families.
The two did not enter directly, but were first informed by the attendants outside the tent, and then led by the attendants into a small hall in the tent.
I saw a woman sitting in the center, with a phoenix crown and a beautiful appearance, and she was only thirty years old, and she was actually in the early stage of Jindan's cultivation.
Behind the woman stood a young man in yellow, tall and handsome, who cultivated in the later stage of foundation building.
After Gage entered the hall, he rushed forward and knelt on the ground, saying: "Gage participates in the queen's mother, His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Looking at Gage's title, Yi Jiuxiao, who followed behind, knew that these two must be Empress Li Rong and Prince Wei Yang.
But he didn't kneel like Gage, he just bowed and saluted, and said, "Qi Guoyi Jiuxiao participates in the queen's mother, His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
"Sure enough, the hero is a young man, and the deputy envoy has worked hard all the way, please take a seat. ”
For Yi Jiuxiao not bowing down, the queen didn't seem to be angry, and she was very kind.
"Sit down. Yi Jiuxiao was not polite, so he sat down on the chair next to him.
At this time, Gage also stood up, but did not dare to sit down, but stood on one side and lowered his hands in obedience.
"The deputy envoy and his entourage escorted the princess to my Wei country, running around and working hard, quite a lot of twists and turns, the palace has already known, but it happened to be a traitor in the court, I really have no time to take care of it, the palace is deeply sorry, I don't know how the deputy envoy will arrange it next?"
"Your country is in chaos, and in order to protect the safety of the princess, you can only return to my Qi country. ”
Of course, Yi Jiuxiao would not say that he wanted to take Ningguo, this Shizhou bordered both Ning and Qi, and it was reasonable to say that he returned to Qi from Shizhou.
"That's fine, now that the civil strife has not been settled, and the relatives can only do it, but unfortunately this palace wanted to ally with your country and deal with the Zhou State together, and it seems that this matter is difficult to achieve. ”
The queen sighed, revealing a very regretful expression.
Now that the queen has said that she is going to be close, this is in line with the meaning of Yi Jiuxiao.
In fact, he knew in his heart that the queen was now saving her life, so how could she have the heart to think about peace again.
Judging from the courtesy of the friendly team after entering the Wei Kingdom, the harmony is not what the queen and the crown prince desperately want.
"As the queen said, the matter of harmony will be stopped from now on, and neither of us will mention it again in the future. As long as the two countries are sincere and have the same interests, it is not difficult to form an alliance. ”
"Well, what Mr. Yi mean, can we still form an alliance?"
The queen changed her title, no longer calling Yi Jiuxiao her deputy envoy, but calling him Mr. Yi.
Since there is no harmony, there is no kiss, and the queen is really not simple.
"I am very much in favor of the Qi-Wei Alliance, and after returning to the Qi State, I will write to the emperor and discuss the alliance. ”
Empress Li Rong suddenly left the phoenix chair, stood up, and looked at Yi Jiuxiao.
I saw her say: "Since Mr. Yi agrees so much with the alliance between Qi and Wei, Li Rong asks Mr. Yi not to return to China, how about helping me and Xiao'er?"
The queen actually spoke in a pleading tone, and even changed her own name.
She has always called herself this palace before, and now she calls herself Li Rong, which means equality and relativeness, and she is trying her best to express her sincerity.
At this time, Yi Jiuxiao couldn't sit still in the chair and stood up.
He hugged his fists and said: "Yi Jiuxiao is a mortal, he just wants to help the queen mother, I'm afraid it will be difficult to help anything!"
"Mr. Yi doesn't have to be humble, about Mr.'s deeds, Li Rong has already heard of it, Mr. has killed three Jindan masters on the way with his own strength, and even Zhou Guo's national teacher Zhou Tong is not defeated by Mr. Mr. should already know that the rebellious ministers and thieves of the Feng family have colluded with the Zhou State, if Li Rong is defeated, the Wei State will definitely form an alliance with the Zhou State in the future, is this in the interests of the Qi State?"
Because it is telling the truth, Queen Lirong's words are very convincing.
If her Li family is defeated and the Feng family controls the government, then the Wei and Zhou alliance will be a foregone conclusion, which will be very unfavorable to the Qi State.
Originally, the State of Qi was already very weak relative to the State of Zhou, and with the addition of the State of Wei, it would not be too far from the destruction of the State of Qi.
It is not only unfavorable to Qi Guo, but also to Yi Jiuxiao, Qi Qingru and others.
They want to take the Ning Kingdom, if the Wei and Zhou alliances, even if they can take the Ning Kingdom, they will definitely be destroyed in the cracks soon.
Therefore, Li Rong's words touched Yi Jiuxiao's heart, and he also had the intention to use Li Rong's hand to deal with the Feng family.
"So, I don't know what the queen wants Yi Jiuxiao to do?"
"Mr. Yi, please take a seat. ”
After the queen finished speaking, she also sat back on the phoenix chair, and then said: "Don't hide Mr. Yi from me, what I lack most now is a master like you, if only two armies fight, my 20,000 forbidden troops can win against 100,000 ordinary soldiers, but the final result is still in the hands of the master duel, my side of the Jin Dan cultivation plus myself, there are only six, two of them were seriously injured in the battle with the four Jin Dan of Ning State a few days ago, the master of the middle stage of Jin Dan is only my brother Li Rui, and the rest are all in the early stage of Jin Dan. ”
Yi Jiuxiao just nodded and didn't speak.
Li Rong said it well, the battle of the monk army is not only the combat power of ordinary soldiers, but more importantly, the duel between the strong in the army.
If there is no strong support, it is difficult for the magic circle composed of sergeants to deal with the enemy, and it is difficult to win.
For example, a Jindan strong man can fly in the air, as long as he does not get close to the ground, ordinary soldiers can hardly hurt Jindan monks.
However, Brother Jindan can constantly harass and attack ground troops in the air, disrupting the enemy's formation by surprise and providing assistance to his own soldiers.
When the other party reacted, he fled far away when he wanted to counterattack, so the best way to deal with the Jindan master was still the Jindan master.
"Li Rong can't see Mr. Yi's cultivation clearly, but I believe that with Mr. Yi's help, we will no longer be at a disadvantage in the main general, and Li Rong will not let Mr. Yi help in vain, what kind of requirements Mr. Yi can make. ”
Yi Jiuxiao hadn't thought about making a request before, but now that Li Rong said this, he didn't want to mention it in vain.
Since each other is cooperating and using, if you don't ask for anything at all, but make the other party unsteady, you suspect that you have other plans.
Therefore, Yi Jiuxiao felt that he had to make a request, and he couldn't make a small request.
"Empress, I don't know what the price of the Feng family to invite the Zhou State to send troops?"
Yi Jiuxiao did not directly say the request, but asked such a sentence, which made Li Rong a little surprised.
But she still answered truthfully: "As far as I know, that slut promised to cede the four northern states to the Zhou State, how does she know how to drive the wolf into the house?"
"My conditions are very simple, since the queen and Ning Guo are at war, they must be incompatible, either the queen destroys Ning Guo, or Ning Guo destroys the queen, so I want all the land of Ning State, plus the two states adjacent to Wei State and Ning State, how about it?"
Yi Jiuxiao's conditions were really not low, Zhou sent 100,000 soldiers and horses, and only four northern states, and Yi Jiuxiao actually proposed to add all the Ning states and two Wei states with the strength of one person.
Ning Guo Li Rong didn't care, but the two states were the flesh of Wei Guo, and they had to be cut off alive, and she couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart.
"Mr. Yi, is this a request made on behalf of Qi Guo?" asked Li Rong through gritted teeth.
"No, I made a request on my own behalf, and it has nothing to do with other countries, as for who I will give these lands to in the future, I haven't thought about it yet, so the queen doesn't need to ask. ”
Since Mr. Yi is not representing Qi or other countries, Li Rong agreed. According to what Mr. Yi said, after the deed is completed, these places will be Mr. Yi's reward. ”
