Chapter 243: The King Doesn't See the King
The Son of Heaven also had a moment when he knelt down.
At that moment, your courtiers were watching you.
Forget it, as long as you can maintain a piece of land and ensure a lifetime of wealth, why bother kneeling?
Xu Jin finished reading the holy decree, put the edict back into the brocade box, and handed it to Li Yu.
"The lord of the kingdom, please rise." Xu Yongzhi said.
Be polite, Xu Yongzhi is a festival envoy, and Li Congshan is at the same level, Li Yu, the lord of the country, is the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, and theoretically the same level as Zhao Guangyi, the king of Jin.
Li Yu got up from the ground, took the holy decree, and handed it to the attendant beside him.
"Xu Jin is polite." Xu Yongzhi made a long gesture.
He is a Qincha, and he does not have to kneel down to worship the lord of Jiangnan.
Li Yu returned the half-salute, and he could finally take a serious look at Xu Jin.
Li Yu finally understood how much trouble he had caused himself.
More than ten years ago, when Li Forsythia wanted to mobilize the forbidden army to encircle and suppress Linquan Town, he told him that "there is a group of people who form a village to defend themselves, and the tunjia soldiers are self-reliant", Li Yu didn't think much about it, so he sent soldiers and horses to round up, but he didn't expect to leave Xu Jin as an avenger, and the ghost has not gone away ever since.
Xu Jin has a pair of tough and deep eyes, and there are many, many stories in those eyes, including grace and hatred, flesh and blood.
Xu Yongzhi stared at this relative, this enemy, this man who made him feel complicated.
"You never apologized for the cruelty you did back then." This is Xu Yongzhi's innermost thoughts.
Li Yu's heart was churning with remorse.
Xu Yongzhi is like a hairy monkey in Huaguo Mountain, although he has a little influence in the local area, he has never been in Li Yu's eyes.
Later, Li Yu learned a lot of things about Xu Jin from Li Lianqiao and Xia Xiaogui, and he knew that this person could not give up.
He watched Xu Yongzhi change from a fugitive to an officer of the forbidden army, to a cadre of the Great Song Dynasty, and finally to become a feudal official and a prince all the way.
In the end, Li Yu felt fear, and he couldn't eliminate Xu Jin, so he began to turn to Xu Jin for help in the blood bond between Xu Jin and the Southern Tang court.
Xu Yongzhi's eyes are bright and dark, although there have been a lot of ups and downs in the past ten years, the contours of the nose bridge and jaw are still very beautiful.
"This is the face of the Li family." Li Yu thought.
Li Yu actually didn't have any disgust for his brother, when he thought that Xu Jin was his brother's son, he actually gave birth to a little incense, but unfortunately, this kind of family affection was born too late!
Xu Yongzhi looked at Li Yu.
"This man is finished."
Li Yu has been in a state of intoxication in recent years.
Drunk with music, drunk with women, drunk with alcohol - he has paralyzed himself for seven or eight years, and Nantang is actually in this state of paralysis, a mess of filth.
Li Yu's words are getting better and better, the amount of alcohol is getting bigger and bigger, and the piano is singing, and it is becoming more and more exquisite.
But in his eyes, he had lost that manly spirit, and he was content with the pleasures of the flesh and the stimulation of the senses, and when he occasionally put these things down for a while, his eyes were filled with the endless emptiness.
Xu Yongzhi knew it in his heart.
He didn't need to confront this man in the court anymore, as long as he completed the task and went back to lead the troops to capture this man as a prisoner.
Li Yu asked the chamberlains to put on a banquet.
"I heard that the Jiedu envoy is also from Jiangnan?" Li Yu had nothing to say.
"A native of Linquan Town, Tanzhou Prefecture, he was rewarded by the official family, and Xu Jin is now an envoy of the Linquan Military Festival." Xu Yongzhi said.
"It's gratifying to return home." Lord Seo Hyun said with a shy old face.
"It's a pity that Xu Jin's hometown has been burned down." Xu Yongzhi looked at Li Yu and said.
"There were a lot of misunderstandings between us in the past, and this king will try his best to make up for it." Li Yu's words were a little uneasy.
"If the lord of the country really wants to fulfill Xu Jin, he might as well go to Beijing with Xu Jin." Xu Yongzhi said.
Show oneβs true colors in the end.
"Why, does the Jiedu envoy want to forcibly take this king away?" Li Yu said.
In fact, Xu Yongzhi can completely do it by kidnapping Li Yu, but first, after kidnapping Li Yu, it will be very difficult to get out of Jinling City, and second, he is unwilling to do such a thing.
"I'm sorry, my lord, but it's not uncommon for me to do something like that." Xu Jin said.
"Bold!" Zhou Zhuocheng slapped the table.
"Don't worry, I'll take your head sooner or later." Xu Jin said.
"General Zhou is hot-tempered...... The festival envoy ...... "Li Yu is afraid that Xu Jin will really ask for Zhou Zhuocheng's head."
"Don't worry, I won't let the lord kill him, that's too cheap for him." Xu Yongzhi said.
Lord Xu Xuan looked at the murderous aura in Xu Yongzhi's eyes and shuddered.
The murderous aura in Xu Yongzhi's eyes suddenly converged.
"The lord of the country, the surname Zhou is a small character, no one nods, he can't do something like that. The grievances between Jinling and Xu Jin, everyone knows it, and there is no need to say more, but Xu Jin came this time as the Qin of the Great Song Dynasty, if the lord of the country is willing to enter Beijing with Xu Jin, I can avoid the misery of many lives, I will become the guarantor of the lord's life, and naturally I will not take revenge. β
Li Yu understood.
If you give Xu Jin the favor of pacifying Jiangnan, he will give up revenge, and if you want to take any other way, then he will not make this guarantee.
"I heard that the Jiedu envoy is the first warrior of the Great Song Dynasty, and when I see it today, it is really a heroic person, and what flows in his blood is the blood of the brave." Li Yu said.
This is to point out everyone's blood relationship.
"There is no blood of a born brave, a brave man is like an iron tool, if it is not sharpened and maintained, it will soon corrode." Xu Yongzhi said.
Li Yu was speechless to refute.
"I have received the proposal to enter Beijing, since I have already presented the album, it is only a matter of time before I enter Beijing, and I also ask the envoy to return to Tokyo and talk to the officials and the king a lot." Li Yu said.
"It's a private offer, but it's my last kindness to you, and I hope I didn't make a mistake." Xu Yongzhi said.
"This king understands." Li Yu said.
"The lord of the good sect learned that Xu Jin is a military general, with 30,000 elite soldiers under his command, and the terrain is in the upper reaches of Jinling, my subordinates like to fight, and they can make meritorious contributions when they fight, and there are trophies, but I still hope that the lord of the country can make the right choice." Xu Yongzhi said.
"This king understands." Li Yu picked up the wine glass and took a sip of it himself.
Lord Xu Xuan looked embarrassed, and hurriedly picked up his wine glass: "The festival has made it hard from afar, let's have a drink......"
Xu Yongzhi waved his hand: "Don't drink, you should have a lot of things to discuss, busy with you, if you can't settle down today, I will go back to Tokyo tomorrow, if you decide to enter Beijing, I will wait for three days to set off together, and ensure the safety of the lord on the way." β
These words made Li Yu a little unable to get off the stage.
He clapped his hands, and a beautiful woman in palace clothes came out from behind the screen.
It's no one else, it's Xiaogui, Xiaogui wears heavy makeup, and she is beautiful, but she is not as delicate and agile as before, and her strong red lips have a unique color, which makes people feel a little weird.
"Lord Xu......" Li Yu said.
actually let the lord of Jiangnan use the honorific title.
"Xia Guifei and you, they are good matches, you have been in the rivers and lakes all these years, and she has been looking for you, today you can come to Jinling, it is a day of reunion, let her invite you to have a drink, can't you?" Li Yu said.
Xu Yongzhi looked at Xiaogui and felt that her eyes were fluttering, as if she was coerced.
Today's game, no!
Xiaogui brought over the plate with the wine glass and brought it to Xu Yongzhi.
"I heard that southerners don't discourage drinking, why, the rules have changed in recent years?" Xu Yongzhi looked at Li Yu with a sneer.
There must be something wrong with this wine.
"What? Lord Xu is still afraid that this king will poison the wine? Li Yuqiang smiled and said, "Concubine, drink it to Lord Xu!" β
Xiaogui picked up the wine glass, drank half a glass, and put it back on the plate, safe and sound.
"Still worried?" Li Yu reached for the cup.
Xu Yongyi blocked Li Yu.
He reached out and took the glass, approached it, nodded, threw the wine glass down, stretched out his finger, and pointed it on Xiaogui's chest.
Xiaogui was also caught off guard and fell softly into his arms.
Xu Yongzhi took out the pocket paper and wiped off the lipstick on Xiaogui's lips at once.
"Lord Xu Xuan, did they tell you about this poisoning?"
Seo Hyun was taken aback all of a sudden.
"How can wine be poisonous?" Li Yu was also taken aback.
"There's no poison in this wine, this woman is poisonous." Xu Yongzhi said.
He picked up the pocket paper and showed the people lipstick.
"This is highly poisonous, the wine glass she has drunk, if I drink it again, it will be poisoned."
"That concubine ......" Li Yu panicked for a moment and ran over to see Xiaogui.
"What concubine?" Xu Yongyi looked at Li Yu with disgust, "You can't even recognize your own concubine?" β
Xu Yongzhi dipped the wine in the paper and wiped it vigorously on the face of the "concubine".
A face with almost only eyes, nose and mouth, like a tabula rasa.
"It's!" Li Yu was taken aback.
"This is a non-human, good at changing their appearance, they accept the orders of the wizard, and the order that this guy accepts is to poison me with his own life! Is this your arrangement? The lord of the country? Xu Yongzhi stared at Li Yu.
"Of course this king doesn't know, I almost drank wine just now......"
At this time, the inhuman had already poisoned and began to roll on the ground.
"Let your people solve it for him with a sword, there is no antidote to this poison, pay attention to the corpse to be burned." Xu Yongzhi said to Li Yu.
"Then where did Xiaogui really go?" Li Yu said.
"Eldest princess, come out, you took the concubine away, didn't you?" Xu Yongzhi shouted loudly.
Li Lianqiao let out his trademark coquettish smile.
She jumped off the beam.
"You're really alert, I thought my poisoning skills had been perfected." Li Lianqiao said.
"You really don't give up, do you have to pit the lord of Jiangnan to the point where he has no friends and become a prisoner of the Zhao Guan's family?" Xu Yongzhi said.
"Kill you, other generals won't be able to beat you at all!" Li Lianqiao suddenly pushed out his left palm, and a tongue of fire roared, rushing straight to Xu Yongzhi's front door.
Xu Yongzhi had no sword in his hand, so he had to roll on the spot and get out of the way.
There was a great chaos in the court, and the great poets were rolling all over the ground.
"Stop the eldest princess!" Li Yu ordered.
The most tangled thing at this time was Zhou Zhuocheng, and in an instant, he didn't know whether to help Li Lianqiao or listen to Li Yu.
