0324 Too much deception
Because Zhang Qingfeng was unconscious, Jiujia Dabi had to be temporarily suspended, and although most of the people of Quanyang City who were watching the excitement near the dueling arena dispersed, the major forces from the Seven Kingdoms did not leave, and they stayed in the nearby restaurant inn.
The whole Wu'an Hou Mansion was anxious about Zhang Qingfeng's injury, Qin Yun'er couldn't care about any secrecy anymore, and plunged into the observation tower of the Wu'an Hou Mansion, accompanying Zhang Qingfeng's bedside every day, wiping his body and feeding him medicine, as if taking on the responsibility of a wife.
Princess Song, who originally planned to take Xiaochan back to the Medicine King Palace after the big competition, saw the sad appearance of the little junior sister who washed her face with tears every day because she was worried about the safety of the young master, so she naturally had no way to take her away at this time, and she was also racking her brains about how to save Zhang Qingfeng.
The Aquarius King and the royal families of various countries are also constantly in and out of the observation tower, concerned about Zhang Qingfeng's safety, for those ordinary cultivators who have a small pattern, small vision, and only think about themselves, anyone who is stronger than themselves will be regarded as opponents and enemies, but for those big people who stand tall and see far, Zhang Qingfeng represents the Central Plains cultivation world, he has high talent, that is the honor of the entire Central Plains cultivation world, there are many people who are jealous of the virtuous and jealous, and there are many people who cherish their talents and love talents.
Knowing that Zhang Chaoyang was uncomfortable, the Aquarius King and the princes of various countries were chatting with him and saying some comforting words, when a shrill voice suddenly came from outside, "The holy decree has arrived!"
Gonggong Xu walked in with a few eunuchs and a team of royal forest soldiers.
Divine decree?
Zhang Chaoyang couldn't remember how many years he hadn't heard these two words, and he wondered how Emperor Zhou could remember to give him an edict at such a time?
Receiving the will of the founding emperor, Zhang Chaoyang had the privilege of not kneeling when he saw the king, and naturally he didn't need to kneel to meet the holy decree, so he walked to the middle of the living room, bent down and bowed, ready to listen.
Gonggong Xu didn't expect that there would be so many people in the living room, according to his original intention, just quietly stuff the holy decree to Zhang Chaoyang, but there are rules for reading the holy decree, in order to show the emperor's prestige, the more people who hear it, the better, and the voice must be loud enough!
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, the northwest border horse bandits are rampant, thieves are rampant, today order Wu'an Hou Zhang Chaoyang to go to the border to suppress bandits, Zhang Chaoyang is the general of the bandits, Zhang Beitian joins the army for the bandits, and set off within three days, there must be no mistake, Qin this!"
After Gonggong Xu read out the holy decree, the hall suddenly fell into a dead silence, and the needle drop could be heard.
What the?
Let Zhang Chaoyang go to the border to suppress bandits?
Emperor Zhou didn't know that Zhang Qingfeng was still in a coma?
The princes looked at each other, everyone's expressions became complicated, and in the end, they all looked at Zhang Chaoyang.
Zhang Chaoyang maintained a bent posture, standing there motionless, like a sculpture.
Zhang Beitian stood behind Zhang Chaoyang, because he was so shocked, he couldn't react for a while, and looked up at Gonggong Xu fiercely, thinking that he had heard it wrong.
"Brother Chaoyang, take the order. ”
Gonggong Xu looked at Zhang Chaoyang, his face full of shame and guilt.
"Zhang Chaoyang, thank you!"
Zhang Chaoyang finally spoke up, his voice hoarse, and there was an indescribable exhaustion and loss in his weakness.
"Dad, this will can't be accepted!"
Zhang Beitian finally came to his senses and rushed forward to grab Zhang Chaoyang's arm.
"Manager Xu, what does Emperor Zhou mean? Let my father and son go to suppress the bandits? Doesn't he know that my son Qingfeng is seriously injured and in a coma? If he wants to drive our Zhang family out of Quanyang City, just say it, there is no need to beat around the bush like this! You ......?"
"Beitian, shut up. ”
Zhang Chaoyang interrupted Zhang Beitian.
"Daddy!"
"Stay and go!"
Zhang Chaoyang turned his head violently and glared at Zhang Beitian angrily: "This family, when will it be your turn to point fingers?
Zhang Beitian didn't expect Zhang Chaoyang to be angry with himself, he could see that the old man was not acting, but really angry, and it was still very serious.
"Brother Chaoyang......
When Zhang Chaoyang grabbed the holy decree, Gonggong Xu, who was not in a hurry to let go, shouted softly.
"Don't say anything. Zhang Chaoyang smiled faintly, "The country is in trouble, as a courtier, you should serve the country, you tell Your Majesty, I, Zhang Chaoyang, can dedicate myself to the country, I hope he can also fulfill the responsibility of an emperor in order to protect the people of the Great Zhou." ”
"Brother Chaoyang's words, I will definitely bring them!"
Gonggong Xu and Zhang Chaoyang have been fighting in the south and north for decades, and they can be called one of the people who know him best in the world, so they naturally understand that any comfort or explanation is superfluous to the most intelligent god of war in the Great Zhou, so they don't say anything more and turn away.
"What's going on?
It wasn't until Gonggong Xu's figure disappeared that Qin Fengtu, the patriarch of the Qin clan, sneered and spoke.
"The northwest border is the junction between my Tang Dynasty and the Zhou State, although it is not peaceful, but the horse bandit gang with more than 30 people was wiped out two years ago, even if it is distributed, it should find a reasonable excuse, it is really ridiculous. After more than 20 days of recuperation, Xiong Lie, whose injuries have basically healed, is also full of anger.
Other princes and princes have been upset for Zhang Chaoyang, although it is taboo in the aristocratic circle to discuss the internal affairs of other countries without authorization, but today's situation is special, Emperor Zhou is a bit of a bully, and he is not sent to so many young generals who want to earn military merits, but he sends the founding fathers to the border to suppress bandits, which is also too bullying.
"Old God of War, since you are going to leave for the border in two days, then the king will hold a special farewell ceremony for you, early tomorrow morning, at the dueling platform of Jiujia Dabi, we will see you or leave. ”
The Aquarius King, who had been silent, stood up from his chair and took his leave.
Early the next morning, the dueling area was lively again.
The people of Quanyangcheng, who had just dispersed two days ago, received an exciting good news that the royal delegation of the six countries, which was rarely seen on weekdays, was going to hold a special farewell ceremony on the dueling platform to send Zhang Chaoyang, the god of war of the Great Zhou Dynasty, to suppress bandits.
I don't know who spread the news, but overnight, the whole city knew about it, and there were people waiting around the dueling arena before dawn.
The sun is three poles, and there are a lot of people under the dueling stage, and the number of people on the dueling stage is gradually increasing.
There are royal delegations from the six countries, there are the elders of the major sects, and there are also the four princes and eight famous generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it is the Great Zhou Emperor who is surrounded by them.
Someone had already set up the tables and chairs in advance, and the representatives of various countries sat down as guests, and after a few polite words, the Aquarius King suddenly looked at Emperor Zhou and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Xiao Wang came to Quanyangcheng this time, in addition to leading the team to participate in the Jiujia Competition, there is a more important thing, I hope Your Majesty will be successful." ”
Emperor Zhou hurriedly returned the salute: "The King of Aquarius is polite, if you have any requirements, it doesn't hurt to talk about it, as long as the emperor has it, he will respond to his request." ”
The Aquarius King smiled: "Your Majesty is really extraordinary, since this is the case, then Xiao Wang will say it directly." ”
"Aquarius King, please speak. ”
The voice of the Aquarius King spread throughout the audience: "Xiao Wang was ordered by the emperor's brother, this time he came to Da Zhou mainly to ask for two pieces of land with His Majesty, and the place is not big, only five hundred miles together, Your Majesty, the Great Zhou Kingdom has a vast territory and sufficient materials, so I guess I won't care about this bit of land, so I might as well give it to Xiao Wang, what do you think?"
