Chapter 364: Incompetence Ends Here
In this way, these people are indeed the center of politics and power in Western Vietnam, but how can they be like this? If the ministers are really eunuchs, this is too unbelievable!
Even if Sima Hongyan is smart and keen, he can't guess what the situation is in Xiyue. All the ideas I had made were not as strange as I saw with my own eyes now. Sima Hongyan didn't know how to talk to these strange captives for a while!
The emperors of the two countries did not speak to each other, and the people below did not dare to speak, but a large hall full of hundreds of people was extremely quiet and the atmosphere was strange.
After a long time, it was Xiahou Yan who was the first to speak to Sima Hongyan and said: "I have heard that the new master of Yanling is a beautiful woman who has fallen into the country, but I didn't expect you to be more beautiful than the rumors." It's just that I don't know what you want to do when you come all the way to the west of me, and you also attack the city and conquer the city to the capital? ”
For this kind of knowingly asked nonsense, Sima Hongyan sneered, and said in a cold voice: "You should know very well why I came, why do you bother to ask such useless nonsense?" You should ask me what I should do with you. ”
As he spoke, Sima Hongyan looked left and right with a fake look, and said, "Look at you, there is not even a guard in this hall, it seems that you have ruined Xiyue enough." For a foolish emperor like you, I really think highly of you. Everyone in the world says that the West is strong, and it is the territory that was won on horseback, but as far as I am concerned, I am afraid that those are the achievements of your ancestors, and you are just a clown. I really regret that I didn't bring troops to fight earlier, because a country like yours, which is vulnerable to foreign powers, has long lost the meaning of existence. ”
Sima Hongyan was not polite at all, and his words were extremely sarcastic and disdainful, and he didn't take the other party in his eyes at all, and he didn't save face for the other party at all.
Unexpectedly, Xiahou Yan was not angry at all, and even the eunuchs and ministers behind him still maintained a respectful standing posture and did not react at all, as if they were all indifferent to Sima Hongyan's mean language. Xiahou Yan even grinned after listening to Sima Hongyan's words, that look was indescribably shameless and dirty.
Sima Hongyan has seen shamelessness, but he has never seen such shamelessness! Her humiliating language turned out to be quite happy with the other party. This awkwardness made Sima Hongyan's heart tense.
After laughing a few times, Xiahou Yan said: "I heard that the people of Yanling call you the Lord of the Phoenix, and I never call myself as I just spoke, I wonder if your harem is full of all the beautiful men in Yanling for you to enjoy?" A stunning beauty like you, I'm afraid ordinary men can't get into your eyes, right? ”
The dignified monarch of a country actually said such obscene words, Ban Lingruo behind Sima Hongyan was suddenly furious, she has always respected Sima Hongyan's sister, and never allowed anyone to speak ill of her sister, who knew that this emperor of Xiyue actually used such a subordinate language to humiliate Sima Hongyan.
"Shut up!" Ban Lingruo said with an angry face: "You dare to talk to our Feng Lord like this? Believe it or not, I cut you in two with a sword? Although it was a question, Ban Lingruo's Qingning sword had already been unsheathed, and the tip of the sword pointed at Xiahou Yan, who had an obscene face.
Not to mention that Ban Lingruo was angry, Zhong Liying and the entire women's army would have been angry a long time ago, Sima Hongyan existed like a god in their hearts, usually they were full of admiration and worship, but now that someone dares to humiliate the idol in their hearts so much in person, how can they not be angry? As soon as Ban Lingruo's sword came out of the sheath, the rest of the three hundred female soldiers also showed their weapons, their faces full of indignation, and they just waited for Sima Hongyan to give an order to go up and cut this ugly monster into countless pieces.
A murderous aura echoed in the hall, and the ferocity of these female soldiers made Xiahou Yan's face tremble, and his heart was suddenly frightened.
Looking at Xiahou Yan, whose face was pale, Sima Hongyan was a little surprised, he didn't expect him to dare to say such provocative words, but he would be frightened by the female soldiers. I don't know if this Xiahou Yan is talking nonsense or deliberately humiliating her.
Sima Hongyan still looked at Xiahou Yan expressionlessly, and waved his hand.
The Ban Lingruo sisters and the female soldiers behind them hatefully put down the blades pointing at Xiahou Yan, but they did not put them into the sheath. Everyone's chest was rising and falling violently, and they were obviously angry. Ban Lingruo thought to herself: This is because the fifth sister is not here, otherwise she will definitely kick it over despite her sister's obstruction.
Sima Hongyan raised his slender hand like a jade carving and dusted off the uneven parts of his body, his movements were extremely slow and elegant, and Xiahou Yan's eyes were immediately attracted by Sima Hongyan's fingers like white onions, and his eyes swayed back and forth with the movements of Sima Hongyan's fingers.
Sima Hongyan was completely disapproving, and said to Xiahou Yan: "Since you don't know how to talk well anymore, I don't think there is anything to talk about between us." It is also a sad feeling that Xiyue has a person like you as a king, and I don't think there is any need to be polite to you when treating people like you. After speaking, Sima Hongyan slowly stood up, and murderous intent appeared in his eyes.
At this time, Xiao Hongying ran in from outside and whispered a few words in Sima Hongyan's ear. Sima Hongyan's eyes flickered, and he glanced at Xiahou Yan with deep meaning, and said to Xiao Hongying: "Bring them in!" ”
Xiao Hongying beckoned to the door, and several people walked in from the door.
Four Yanling soldiers escorted Xiahou Shuojie, who was bound all over, and the other two female soldiers supported Zuo Mansha, who was wrapped in gauze, and slowly came to Sima Hongyan's side. Sima Hongyan glanced at the two of them, and found that Xiahou Shuojie had a cold face, glanced at Sima Hongyan hatefully, and at the same time glanced at Xiahou Yan hatefully.
And the gauze wrapped around Zuo Mansha's body was dirty, and there seemed to be some new wounds on his body, stained with blood.
Sima Hongyan said to Zuo Mansha: "Tell me, why are you locked up in a dungeon?" As he spoke, he pointed at Xiahou Yan and continued: "Is it his order?" ”
Zuo Mansha looked at Xiahou Yan, whose eyes were always on Sima Hongyan, and nodded angrily.
Sima Hongyan turned his head and asked Xiahou Yan: "Zuo Mansha fought for Xiyue and was covered in bruises, why did you put her in prison instead?" ”
For the first time, Xiahou Yan took his eyes off Sima Hongyan, glanced at Zuo Mansha and said: "This kind of incompetent person has harmed the soldiers and generals without any merit, and it is already polite that I don't kill her!" ”
Sima Hongyan looked at Xiahou Yan coldly, and said, "I'm really stupid to waste time here with a shameless person like you." He turned his head to the Yanling soldiers and said, "Untie General Xiahou's rope!" ”
The four Yanling soldiers were stunned, but they still obediently untied Xiahou Shuojie. Xiahou Shuojie looked at Sima Hongyan with a strange expression, not understanding what she meant by this.
Sima Hongyan asked Xiahou Shuojie and Zuo Mansha, "Could it be that this is the emperor you are loyal to?" Are you willing to sacrifice yourselves for such people? Is it worth it? ”
Xiahou Shuojie said: "No matter how wrong the emperor is, he is also the emperor of my Xiyue, what does it have to do with your Yanling?" You have come to invade Western Vietnam, and you are our enemies. ”
Ban Lingruo sneered on the side: "That's a nice thing, your army just went to attack our border pass, and it was you who started the war first, and you are embarrassed to say that we invaded?" ”
Xiahou Shuojie said awe: "We were invited by King Yu to punish the usurper, what's wrong?" It was you Yanling people who invited us to go, but we didn't take the initiative to go, there is a world of difference between us! ”
Xiao Hongying said angrily: "What is the matter of our country to your West Vietnam?" Your ability to mess around is not small! ”
Sima Hongyan suddenly said beside him: "I don't care what your reason is, today I will let Xiyue disappear from the Central Plains territory." Either Caesar or nothing! I have no reason today, that is, I have come to destroy your Xiyue, what can you do? ”
"You ......" Xiahou Shuojie was choked by Sima Hongyan's domineering words, his fists clenched, and he glared angrily.
Sima Hongyan took two steps towards him and asked fearlessly, "Who are you showing to be bluffing?" An incompetent country and an incompetent emperor will be destroyed sooner or later. Even if it's not me today, tomorrow it's someone else. Do you think you can keep people out just by leaning against a high wall? Stupid, childish, ridiculous! Closed doors all day and daydreaming in the house by yourself, haven't you been able to wake up to this day? ”
Xiahou Shuo was furious, swung his fist, and roared, "I'll kill you now!" ”
Sima Hongyan was very close to him, and if Xiahou Shuojie's punch fell, no one would have time to rescue him. If Ban Ling was shocked, he would grab it with a sword.
"Don't move!" Sima Hongyan shouted sharply: "I want to see if he has the courage!" ”
Xiahou Shuojie's fist was raised in the air, and his anger made his face twist and tremble, but this punch stopped in mid-air and couldn't stop.
Sima Hongyan said to him: "In fact, from the way of Xiyue, I have seen the current situation of Xiyue. The people are poor, lack food and clothing, and even the soldiers of your army are yellow-skinned and have no fighting power. Except for your General Xiahou's command, the other soldiers are all vulnerable. Do you know why? ”
Being asked by Sima Hongyan like this, Xiahou Shuojie's anger decreased greatly, and he actually withdrew his fist with a ashamed face and stood on the spot.
Sima Hongyan said again: "Your Xiyue has been harassing our Yanling border for many years, burning, killing, looting and doing all kinds of evil. In fact, it comes down to being because you are too poor, and if you don't rob it, you will starve to death. Look at your people, there are many people who are still wearing the clothes of our Yanling, and the country is in such a difficult situation, don't you feel ashamed? ”
This should be asked to Xiahou Shuojie, but Sima Hongyan is asking Xiahou Shuojie.
The shame on Xiahou Shuojie's face was even worse, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to face Sima Hongyan's eyes again. Even Zuo Mansha on the side felt embarrassed and bowed his head and said nothing.
Sima Hongyan did not give up, and continued to ask: "You two are the generals of Xiyue, and you have always done your best for Xiyue, but do you know?" No matter how much you do, what can you change with such a useless king? The country is not like a country, it will not be like a general, you are at most a nest of bandits and robbers who can't get on the table! ”
Sima Hongyan scolded Xiahou Shuojie and Zuo Mansha, and his words were sharp. But the two of them couldn't lose their temper at all except bow their heads in shame.
"Look at him again, you two!" Sima Hongyan pointed at Xiahou Yan and said, "Can you see a little shame on his face?" ”
