Chapter 35: Conquering People with Arms (Part II)

As he sat in the passenger seat, he began to lose patience as he stared at the unchanging image in the window.

Judging from the experience of visiting the King of Linhai, even the king of a small neutral country was skeptical of Kapok's words at first. And the King of the Ancient Land has always regarded himself as the overlord of Xizhou and is arrogant, not to mention that Jiesheng has no friendship with the King of the Ancient Land and his ministers, and it is unlikely that the King of the Ancient Land will be convinced by reasoning.

Therefore, Yaya and Kapoko followed Setsuo's advice and took the way of breaking into the palace by surprise when visiting the king of the ancient land, and with the chariot by their side, not only did they feel a little more secure, but if necessary, they could use the power of the chariot to coerce the king of the ancient land to agree to stop the civil war.

Yagu turned back to Setsuo and Kapok and said, "The content of the military advisor's letter is simple and clear, and the King of Gudi and these ministers should be clear at a glance. Why have they kept their doors closed, and are they deliberating on a plan to deal with our trespassing on the palace? ”

Jiesheng said with a serious expression: "There is this possibility, the King of Gudi, as the most powerful king of Xizhou, will definitely be extremely indignant at our offense today, if he refuses to see our prince, it is normal, but if he is willing to see the prince and behave very friendly, we must be more careful." ”

"If he refuses to see us with such a narrow heart, we should not be polite to him, and we will fire another shot at his palace until he is willing to see us." Kapok, who was sitting side by side with Jiesheng, said with a calm face.

Yagu said with a serious expression: "Kapok, we are now surrounded by heavy and cannot act at will, if we completely fall out with the King of the Ancient Land, in case they block the road out of the city, it will be difficult for us to get out in the end." ”

Kapok Zi Zhengse said: "If the King of the Ancient Land dares to completely turn his face with us, I will kill him and this palace together, otherwise, once the Gene People start a war, the King of the Ancient Land will inevitably surrender to the Gene People." We must not leave a scourge behind! It's easy for us to get out, and I noticed just now that the moat is wide enough for our chariots to drive out of the city at any time. ”

Setsuo and Yagu looked at Kapokko, and there was more surprise in their eyes, they didn't expect this prince with a rough personality to be so meticulous.

"The prince's observation is superior!" A smile appeared on Jiesheng's face, "Jiesheng thinks that the King of the Ancient Land will not go to war with us, but it is possible that he wants to buy us. Because it is precisely by recruiting talents from all over the world that the king of Gudi has made Gudi a powerful country in Xizhou. The prince has such a powerful chariot, and the king of the ancient land will not be moved. ”

"Big brother, they're out!" The fighter sitting in the driver's seat shouted.

Yagu hurriedly turned to look at the window, only to see the door of the council chamber in front of him open, and a young minister came out and whispered a few words to the leader of the guards waiting outside the door.

The leader looked like he understood, and then shouted to the guards guarding the chariot: "All in two columns, welcome foreign dignitaries to my majesty!" ”

The soldiers on the scene immediately took action, and they quickly and orderly stood in two rows one by one from the door of the council hall to the front of the chariot, forming a human corridor about two meters apart.

These guards were all tall and tall, and they held their spears close to their bodies and held their heads high, and the welcoming array looked quite imposing.

The young minister and the leader of the guard walked side by side through the porch to the chariot.

The door of the chariot opened, and two red-faced warriors with helmets came out first, followed by Kapok and Jiesheng without helmets, followed by two other warriors with helmets, each holding a helmet in their hands.

The young minister stepped forward with a smile on his face and said, "Let the envoy of the prince of the prairie wait for a long time, because the guests of the prairie are extraordinary, so my king wants to discuss with us and other ministers how to receive them, which one is the envoy of the prince?" ”

Kapok smiled and said, "This envoy is," and then knuckle continued, "He is a friend and military advisor of this envoy, and this envoy is anxious to see your majesty, for fear of being blocked and delayed on the way, so he has no choice but to rush into the palace. ”

Kapok Zi and Setsuo followed the young minister into the council hall with four guards, and the king of Gudi and his ministers stood up and greeted them with smiling faces.

But soon after the six visitors entered the council hall, the situation changed, and a group of heavily armed soldiers followed the six-man delegation into the hall, and then closed the door of the council hall, and the smiles on the faces of the king of Gudi and his ministers disappeared at this time, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense.

The two warriors behind Kapok and Jiesheng immediately put their helmets on their heads, and then turned around and pulled out their pistols.

At this moment, a row of beautifully decorated tall screens behind the throne of the king of the ancient land was opened, and a group of soldiers armed with long swords and wearing black metal armor appeared murderously in the inner court behind the king of the ancient land, and they took a few steps forward in unison, standing in front of and behind the royal platform.

The four warriors guarding Kapok and the knot in front of and behind the knot had already turned on the pistol's energy switch.

Jiesheng pushed away the warrior in front of him, took two steps forward himself, and said to the king of the ancient land in a cold tone: "What does it mean that Your Majesty uses such etiquette to meet guests? ”

The King of the Ancient Land said with a calm face: "This is called the exchange of courtesies!" You have broken into the king's palace with guns and iron-hulled chariots, and the king will have to meet you with guns and iron swords. ”

"Well, we don't care about such a courtesy, may I ask Your Majesty what will happen next?" Jiesheng sneered.

Although it was Jiesheng who was talking to him, the eyes of the ancient land king kept staring at Kapok's face, and Kapok's huge red face was calm as usual, and his two big eyes looked at the ancient land king with a smile.

The King of the Ancient Land couldn't help but be secretly surprised in his heart, the expression of this prince of the prairie was not afraid, it seemed that he had already expected this situation.

After a moment of silence, the king of Gudi turned his gaze to Jiesheng and said: "Look at you are the face of a Xizhou person, you should know that this king has always loved talents, this king appreciates the courage of this prince's envoy, and prefers his iron-hulled ships and vehicles, so this king is willing to make friends with you, if the prince's envoy can help this king unify the Xizhou continent, this king will respect him as the invincible general of the Xizhou Empire, and enjoy wealth with this king." ”

When the king of the ancient land said this, he turned his face to look at Kapok, and said sincerely: "If there are really seafarers invading the Xizhou continent, this king will do his best to cooperate with the steppe people to eliminate the seafarers, I don't know what the prince's envoy thinks?"

Kapok said with a smile: "This envoy is very willing to make friends with Your Majesty, but the premise is that Your Majesty immediately orders the cessation of the civil war, and then we can sit down and discuss the matter of joining forces to fight against the people under the sea." ”

The king of the ancient land smiled and said: "The prince's envoy has just arrived in Xizhou, I am afraid that I don't know the reason for the civil war in Xizhou, it is not that this king is belligerent, but that the three southern countries have joined forces to invade our ancient land country to burn and loot, and this king has to fight." If what the envoy said in the letter is true, this king thinks that only by first unifying Xizhou can he resist the undersea people. Otherwise, the internal turmoil in the Xizhou countries will not stop, how can a continent with different hearts resist foreign aggression? ”

Kapok Zi Zhengse said: "Your Majesty, Xizhou is already a catastrophe, only by immediately stopping the civil war and fighting the enemy can we have a chance to survive, and Your Majesty will have to wait until the defeat of the genetic people to unify Xizhou." This envoy has heard that the kings of the three southern countries have plenipotentiary envoys stationed in the ancient city, please listen to the advice of this envoy, let your soldiers leave here immediately, and then send someone to bring the envoys of the three countries to discuss the armistice and resist the enemy!"

The King of the Ancient Land lowered his face and said, "How can this king give up the great cause of unifying the Western Continent just because you wait for a piece of paper?" Since the prince's envoy could not understand the king's good intentions for the time being, the king could only leave the envoy here for a few more days until he understood the king's kindness. We have a hundred times as many men as yours, so please ask the prince's envoy to order the four guards to lay down their short guns, so as not to sacrifice and injure the envoy and the military advisor in vain. ”

After the King of the Ancient Land finished speaking, he turned around to leave, Jiesheng's body flashed and jumped up out of thin air and stepped on the high royal platform and landed in front of the King of the Ancient Land, a swordsman on the side of the royal platform stabbed a sword at Jiesheng, Jiesheng dodged, and at the same time raised a leg to kick the swordsman to the ground, and when the other swordsman swung his sword and stabbed Jiesheng again, a red light hit his upper body and pierced the metal armor, and with a scream, the swordsman fell to the ground, which was the first shot fired by the warrior in front of Kapok.

Suddenly there was a loud burst of gunfire in the hall, and Kapok Zi was already holding a gun in his hand, and he continued to shoot mercilessly, knocking down the guards in front of him who threatened the safety of Jiesheng to the ground one after another.

Although there were at least forty palace guards in the hall, the laser guns held by Kapok's guards fired more than ten times faster than the powder guns, so in just a few minutes of fierce fighting, almost all the palace guards fell to the ground, and although Kapok and the four guards were all shot, the protection of body armor and helmets left them unscathed.

"Horn!" There was a deafening explosion from the roof, and a large hole was blown open in the roof of the upper part of the entrance and exit of the council chamber, and the broken tiles fell from the air and smashed several unlucky ministers.

This unexpected event put an end to the battle in the hall.

Then the frightened shouts of the King of the Ancient Land resounded through the hall: "Truce! Armistice! ”

Only Kapok and his four guards were still standing in the council chamber under the king's throne, the air was filled with the stench of dust and burnt flesh, and the ground was filled with soldiers and ministers groaning in pain.

On the throne, Jiesheng grabbed one of the arms of the crumbling King of the Ancient Land with a strong hand, and then picked up his trembling body and let him sit back on the throne.

Seeing that the king was fine, the embarrassed ministers got up from the ground one after another, they did not dare to sit down, and one by one they stood and looked at the unbelievable scene in front of them.

Kapok took off his helmet and sat on a seat as if no one was there, and he looked at the King of the Ancient Land with mocking eyes, and the King of the Ancient Land stared straight at the closed door in front of him.

"Your Majesty, most of the people on the ground are only injured, quickly order to open the door and carry them out for treatment." Jiesheng bowed his head to the king of the ancient land.

The King of the Ancient Land came back from his astonishment, and he pointed at his ministers and shouted angrily, "Open the door and carry them out!" ”

Several ministers opened the door with their hands and feet, and a group of guards immediately poured in outside the door, and they were stunned when they saw the scene in front of them.

"Carry them out for treatment!" The youngest minister standing behind shouted.

The people on the ground were carried away, the debris was swept away, Jiesheng walked down the royal platform and sat beside Kapok, four guards stood behind them, and the ministers of the King of the Ancient Land all stood with their hands down and did not dare to look directly at Kapok.

The youngest minister walked up to the throne and knelt down on his legs and cried, "Your Majesty, it was the minister who came up with this stupid plan for Your Majesty, originally wanting to leave the prince's envoy and his iron-hulled chariot for Your Majesty. Unexpectedly, not only did he lose face to His Majesty, but also caused many deaths and injuries to the guards and ministers, and offended the envoy of the prince of the prairie because of this. The minister deserves death, and I beg your majesty to send it down! ”

The king of the ancient land shouted angrily: "Someone, pull him out and cut him down!" ”

Two guards ran in from the door to set up the young minister, and Kapok gave Jiesheng a look, and Jiesheng immediately shouted: "Slow! ”

Then Jiesheng stood up and said to the king of the ancient land: "Your Majesty, what is the use of killing him when the matter has come to this?" If His Majesty's ministers were to be beheaded on the basis of a single idea, it would seriously affect His Majesty's good reputation for cherishing talents. It is better to give him a chance to make up for his mistakes, and let him lead people to quickly find the envoys of the three southern countries to discuss the matter of armistice and resistance to the enemy. ”

The king of the ancient land looked at the kapok, and saw that the kapok was looking at him with a majestic gaze, and the king of the ancient land turned his face and pointed at the young minister who was in the air, and said sharply: "Excuse you from the death penalty!" Immediately bring someone to find the envoys of the three southern countries to meet the prince's envoys here! ”
