Chapter 119: The troublemakers are coming
The housekeeper who rushed into the courtyard with a group of family members saw Tianyou coming out of the ruins, and his hanging heart was finally put down. In the past few days, the old man has obviously been very concerned about this new descendant, and if something really happened to him, it would be difficult to explain. As for the destruction of the house...... It's all trivial, it's okay if people are okay.
Half an hour later, Bai Qi and Bai Bingyu returned to Baifu together, the two of them didn't say a word, and there was an aura of no one entering all over their bodies. Tianyou saw the two of them returning to the house from afar, and wanted to take the initiative to admit their mistakes, but who knew that the two of them walked straight to Bai Qi's study as if they didn't see him.
Tianyou, who was stunned at the gate, was very puzzled. With this period of understanding, they shouldn't have turned against him just to set up a yard. was muttering in his heart, but the butler who followed up the report in the study ran out in a hurry.
"God bless the son, the lord called you. The butler began to shout from a dozen paces away, looking anxious. Although he was born in the military, after all, he has been a housekeeper in Baifu for many years, so he shouldn't be so unmeasured, and being able to make such an unseemly move can only show that the matter is urgent.
If it's a problem with the house, it shouldn't be so fast, the housekeeper ran out as soon as he entered, and he didn't have the time to report to Ben, so Bai Qi must have something else.
Tianyou, who agreed, trotted directly into the courtyard where Bai Qi lived, but the housekeeper did not follow up, but ordered the two subordinates to guard the door, and he was in a hurry and didn't know what to do.
Approaching Bai Qi's study, Tianyou was about to knock on the door, but Bai Qi's voice came from inside, telling him to hurry in.
Tianyou changed the trend to push, stepped into the room, and after closing the door with his backhand, he saw Bai Bingyu looking at him, with a slight doubt in his eyes, but he didn't ask.
Tianyou tidied up his clothes with some weakness and tried to cover his neck, but thinking that this was more obvious, he quickly stopped again.
Walking to the house in two steps, Tianyou didn't mention the matter of the house, and asked, "Look at your faces, is there something wrong?"
Bai Qi gestured to Bai Bingyu with his eyes, and Bai Bingyu immediately spoke: "You attended the banquet that night, because you should know that the envoys of various countries are arriving one after another. This morning, the envoys of the Tang Kingdom had just arrived in the royal city. ”
As soon as he heard that it was an envoy of the Tang Kingdom, Tianyou immediately knew that something was wrong with this desperate force.
The ten countries of Shenzhou just form a circle around the neutral zone in the center of the continent, and each country is a section of this ring, so each country must have two neighbors. The state of Qin is located in the southwest of the mainland, and its north is the state of Song, and further north of the state of Song is the state of Zhao.
The relationship between Song and Zhao has always been very good, although there is no alliance, they can be regarded as de facto allies, and the name of killing gods in Bai Qi was fought hard when he blocked the Song and Zhao coalition forces.
On the other side of the Qin State, another neighbor in the southeast direction is the Tang State. No large-scale war has ever broken out between the Qin and Tang dynasties, and the most serious conflict ever recorded, with the total number of troops invested by both sides being less than 1,000, is at best a medium-sized border friction.
However, there is a very strange thing that Tianyou has not figured out.
There have been no less than ten large-scale wars between the Song-Zhao alliance and the Qin state recorded in historical records, and both sides have invaded each other's territory on a large scale, and the most recent one was such a killing god as Bai Qi, killing hundreds of thousands of Song-Zhao allied troops in one go. It is said that if it is like this, the relationship between the Song-Zhao Alliance and the Qin State should be very bad.
But the opposite is true. Except for the time period when the war broke out between the Song and Zhao alliances and the Qin State, the rest of the time can almost be said to be harmonious, the economic and military cooperation between the two sides is very close, and the high-level visits are also often exchanged.
However, this is not the strangest of all. The strangest thing is that Qin Tang, who has never fought with him, saw that he had been in a state of cold war. The two countries will almost seize an opportunity other than war to attack each other, and it seems that if they embarrass each other, they will be happy.
As a traverser, Tianyou certainly didn't know anything about national affairs like those indigenous mountain people, but he still couldn't understand what was going on with these two neighbors of the Qin State. The relationship between Qin and Song, who should obviously be feuding, is ambiguous, but between Qin and Tang, who have never had decent friction, is like mortal enemies.
Although he didn't understand what was going on in the strange international environment of the Qin State, Tianyou at least knew that the relationship between Qin and Tang was not good, so when Bai Bingyu said that the envoy of the Tang State had arrived, Tianyou immediately knew what was going on. I knew with my toes that this must be the envoy of the Tang Kingdom looking for trouble.
"The Tang people are causing trouble again?" Tianyou asked tentatively.
Bai Qi smiled rarely, as if he was happy that Tianyou really understood everything, this kind of military affairs, not to mention the Orion who came out of the mountains, even if you just pulled a random person in the royal city to ask, most of them would not be able to say anything. But Tianyou is different, as soon as Bai Bingyu said that the Tang envoys were coming, Tianyou immediately thought that the other party was stirring up trouble, which shows that Tianyou at least has a clear understanding of the relationship between the two countries.
Bai Bingyu didn't think about it so much, she left from Qingyuan Village, Tianyou had already given her too many surprises along the way, and she had already been numb.
"As soon as the envoy of the Tang State arrived in Wangcheng this morning, he immediately asked for an audience. The other party came by invitation, and the king had to meet. We were all temporarily recruited into the palace, and we were afraid that the other party would make trouble, so I didn't want the envoy to take advantage of the loophole. Tianyou was about to ask what kind of loophole he had exploited, but Bai Bingyu had already begun to say: "The other party actually offered a spirit horse as a gift, and then complimented the king, saying that only a hero like the king can control this kind of high-end spirit horse." ”
"If I'm not mistaken, the spirit rider's main soul doesn't use a horse soul, right?" Tianyou asked again.
This time, even Bai Bingyu showed a surprised expression. "How do you know?"
"The higher you hold it, the heavier it falls, it's called killing. The envoy of the Tang State first praised the King of Qin, you must not stop it, and the King of Qin himself cannot say that he can't do it, especially in front of the envoy of the Tang State, if it doesn't work, otherwise the face of the Qin State will be gone. The other party just calculated that you would have such a reaction, so they used a killing strategy. Blow you into the sky first, and then give you a seemingly beautiful cloud for you to ride away, and when you find out that you can't ride the cloud, you can only wait to fall to your death. ”
Bang bang bang. Bai Qi actually clapped his hands and sighed: "I knew I should have brought you with me this morning, otherwise I wouldn't have made it like this." ”
"What's the situation now?" asked Tianyou.
Bai Bingyu said: "The envoy of the Tang State is in a hurry, and that spirit rider is defined as uncontrollable if you are not a hero. If the king can't ride this spirit horse, it is tantamount to admitting in disguise that he is not a hero but a ...... In short, now the king is already difficult to ride a tiger, and he must ride the spirit horse before the envoy of the Tang State leaves, otherwise the envoy of the Tang State will preach that there are no heroes and heroes in my Great Qin, and he can't even control the spirit horse. At that time, they will not only bring back this superb spirit horse, but they will also go around preaching and belittling my Great Qin. The most infuriating thing is that we can't refute it yet. ”
"Then the crux of the problem is not the envoy of the Tang Kingdom, but the spirit horse?" (To be continued.) )
