As expected, Tian Dan took a few steps, and Chen Sheng and Cao Qiudao really shook their bodies at the same time. With a shot and a sword, Qi Qi turned around and pointed at this Great Qi Xiangguo. The blade trembles lightly, just like a poisonous snake and tiger, and can swallow and peel its prey alive at any time, leaving no residue.

However, when Tian Dan was young, he also faced the thousands of troops of the Yan Kingdom alone. Chen Sheng and Jixia Sword Saint were murderous, and there were always only two people. So Tian Dan can barely support it. He shouted: "Chen Sheng, no matter who you are, in front of the king, how can you be so rude in vain? Hurry up and put away your weapons and retreat! delayed the king and Cao Gong to discuss serious matters, you have to ask. ”

Tian Dan's words were told to Chen Sheng in the open, but in essence, they were said to Cao Qiudao. You must know that Cao Qiudao has lived in Jixia School Palace for a long time, and he does not go out when he is idle. When he suddenly entered the palace today to meet with King Qi, there must be important matters to discuss. Tian Dan reminded him not to patronize the martial arts competition, but forgot to get down to business.

Cao Qiudao's kendo cultivation is superb, and it is naturally free to retract and release, and there will be no uncontrollable situation. After being impacted, it slowed down, and the murderous aura was already reined in. Hearing Tian Dan's words again, there was a look of hesitation between his eyebrows, and his fighting spirit weakened slightly. After a long silence, he finally sighed and put away his sword. Said lightly: "Chen Sheng, let's stop here for today." There are seven days left, and it is the Jixia Sword Meeting. Cao is looking forward to seeing you appear then. ”

The Jixia Sword Club is a riding and archery competition held at the Jixia School Palace on the first day of the first month of the month, so that the rising ones have the opportunity to show their skills and make a name for themselves. However, most of the martial artists in Jixia are under the Sword Saint Sect, and the strength of their martial arts is by no means comparable to that of ordinary people. Therefore, over the years, there have been very few people who have been able to become famous in the Jixia Sword Society without being a disciple of the Sword Saint. However, if Chen Sheng participates in the Sword Club seven days later, there is no doubt that he will definitely become the biggest dark horse in the history of the Sword Club, and his reputation will shake the world and be known by the Seven Kingdoms.

Chen Sheng practiced martial arts, and pursued the ultimate in martial arts. As for the fame and fortune that came from this, it was just a passing moment for him. Whether there is or not, it cannot affect his heart. It's a pity that since Cao Qiudao decided to stop for the time being today, Chen Sheng couldn't force him to continue fighting, so he had no choice but to put away the Yajiao gun and said in a condensed voice: "Seven days later, Chen will definitely go to the Jixia School Palace to visit Mr. Forget Worries, and then talk about the way of life and death." ”

King Qi was full of joy, and when he saw that the two sides had stopped fighting, he couldn't help but say: "I haven't seen Cao Gong move his sword for ten years, and I am fortunate to see it again today, Cao Gong's demeanor is especially better than that year, which is gratifying." haha~~ Someone comes, bring wine, and the widow wants to toast to Cao Gong in person. ”

The monarch has an order, and naturally responds to every call. In a matter of moments, the chamberlain had already delivered the wine. King Qi personally picked up the wine glass and gave it to Cao Qiudao. Mr. Forget Worry did not refuse, and took it and drank it up. King Qi held another glass of wine and presented it to Chen Sheng. Full of sighs: "Back then, Tian Guang sacrificed his life to save the widow, but after returning to the country, he retired successfully, so that the widow had no chance to repay him. Seeing his descendants so good today, the widow is comforted. canonized Chen Shengzi to inherit his father's position, and led the guards for me in front of the Great Qi Emperor. ”

Chen Sheng could not disclose the identity of his secret envoy of the Black Ice Platform of the Qin State, so the King of Qi made a plan and made Chen Sheng a guard in front of the emperor. With this official position in his body, Chen Sheng will be able to walk openly in Linzi City in the future. Although Tian Dan still suspected that Chen Sheng was a spy, he could not deal with Chen Sheng again until he caught the substantive evidence.

In fact, even if Tian Dan really wanted to deal with Chen Sheng, Chen Sheng would never care. Therefore, King Qi's thoughts were all redundant in Chen Sheng's opinion. But since the other party is polite, what's the harm in drinking a glass of wine from him? I took it and drank it all at the moment, but I didn't say a word. King Qi was happy in his heart, and he couldn't help but smile between his eyebrows, and then asked Cao Qiudao: Cao Gong entered the palace today, what is the important matter? ”

Cao Qiudao said bluntly: "Cao Mou entered the palace today for the envoy of Zhao State. Please summon him to see him, otherwise, I am afraid that the danger of my great Qi will only be in the end. ”

King Qi looked embarrassed and said, "Is it for the sake of co-indulgence again?" However, the ministers of the imperial court have not yet reached a consensus on this matter. Even if the widow received the envoy of Zhao State now, it would be difficult to promise him anything. ”

Cao Qiudao said indifferently: "The secretary of the imperial court? A bunch of waste, what can they negotiate to achieve the result? Now that the king is here, and the prime minister is also here, whether or not to accept the opinion of the envoy of Zhao can be decided in one word, so why ask others more? ”

Since Cao Qiudao has said it so clearly, King Qi really can't push it anymore. He sighed and said listlessly: "Okay, okay, then the envoy of Xuan Zhao Kingdom will come to see you." As long as he can convince the widow, everything is good. ”

Tian Dan and Cao Qiudao glanced at each other and nodded secretly. Being able to force the King of Qi to relenting and agreeing to summon the envoys of the Zhao State was already the limit of their ability. After all, they are ministers, and King Qi is the king. Unless it has been decided to abolish the matter, it is impossible to directly force the King of Qi to join the joint column.

Since it had been decided to summon the envoy of Zhao State, everyone immediately returned to their original positions and sat down and waited. After a while, only the attendants could be heard singing outside the main hall, and then a middle-aged man strode in. This man is of medium stature, with big ears, and seems to have a calm personality, but his eyes are shiny and smart, and he is obviously a witty and changeable person.

Seeing this person appear, Chen Sheng, who was sitting next to the second prince, couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart. Because Chen Sheng knew that the middle-aged man in front of him was the envoy of the Zhao State who stipulated that he had to kill him in order to pass the trial mission issued by the "Infinite God Domain", Pang Xuan!

Pang Xuan held a brocade box in both hands, which seemed to be a gift. When he entered the palace, he first knelt down in front of the king of Qi in the center of the hall, and said loudly: "Pang Xuan, the minister of Zhao, meet the king of Qi." After a pause, he looked back and said, "I also meet the eldest prince, the second prince, the prime minister, and Mr. Forget." "The courtesy is very thoughtful.

King Qi flicked his sleeves and said irrationally: "The envoy has come from afar to work hard, please take a seat." After a pause, he said, "The envoy is coming, and the widow knows everything." Whether Daqi participated in the merger or not, the matter is very high, and the widow cannot give an answer immediately. I beg your pardon. ”

The second prince hurriedly said, "Not bad." Qi and Qin are two great powers in the east and west, and the combination is beneficial, and the division is harmful, and the situation is obvious. Zhao Guo asked Daqi to participate in the joint attack on Qin, so what is the benefit of this move and my Daqi? If it is not beneficial, then the lives of my Daqi disciples are precious, and the money and food do not come out of thin air. ”

In the face of doubts, Pang Xuan was never afraid. He smiled slightly, arched his hand confidently, and said in a condensed voice, "May I ask the king." Today, the princes are competing for hegemony, what are they trying to do? Why is it useless to say that it is useless to join forces with us and the other five countries? ”

King Qi muttered: "The princes compete for hegemony, of course, for the land population. My Great Qi and the Qin State are far away and do not border each other. Attacking Qin with your Sanjin and Chu Wei, if you get the population and land, it will only be divided between your five countries. Daqi can't share profits, how can it be beneficial? ”

Pang Xuan smiled: "No. Back then, the Duke of Qi Huan advocated respecting the king, the princes of Jiuhe, and the world, is it also for the land and population? ”

King Qi was displeased and said, "This time and that time." At that time, Rong Di was rampant, and the Chinese princes all complained about it, so they naturally wanted to respect the king. But now Rong Di is no more, although there is a little Hun, there is nothing to be afraid of. The Son of Heaven of the Zhou Chamber has been weak for a long time, and he has no prestige for my Chinese orthodoxy. Even if you want to respect the king, who can you respect and who can you respect? ”

Pang Xuan said eloquently: "The king's words are wrong. Respect the king, this king does not necessarily refer to Zhou Tianzi. As for the slaughter, it is not for Zhou Tianzi. I heard that Mr. Zou Yan of your country once put forward the theory of the five virtues of eternity, and claimed that there is a new star in the world, which means that a new saint will appear. It can be seen that although the Zhou Chamber is about to die, the new Son of Heaven will stand. And who can be the new Son of Heaven? Of course, he is the one who has contributed the most to my Huaxia, has the most prestige, and is the most trusted by the princes. And isn't it the most effective means to build prestige and win the trust of the princes? Isn't this the interest of Qi State? ”

Zou Yan is the founder of the Yin and Yang family and a native of Qi. His status in the Jixia Academy Palace can be said to be only below the Sword Saint Cao Qiudao. The officials and people of the Qi Kingdom, including the King of Qi and Tian Dan, all respected this great sage who was a pedantic celestial. Zou Yan's remarks announcing that a new saint was about to be born had also been heard by everyone in the hall at this moment. Although the king of Qi couldn't refute this, he sneered and said: "Pang envoy keeps saying that he is in turmoil, is it possible that all the countries are conspiring together in order to go out of the fortress to fight the Xiongnu?" ”

Pang Xuan's expression was serious, and he said: "The Qin people are the relics of Xirong, and they do not belong to my Huaxia clan. Therefore, the nature of tigers and wolves is seen by everyone. In the Battle of Changping that year, the Qin people actually killed 400,000 of our Zhao army, such a brutal act, why is it not Rong Di? The countries of the East have long suffered from this. Especially in recent years, Lü Buwei of the Qin State has been in power, and he has made more frequent moves, constantly using troops to invade the eastern countries. Of course, it is the Qin State! At that time, Rong Di was raging, and the prince of Qi Huan respected the king and dominated the princes. Today, the Qin State is raging, if the Qi State does not come forward, what will happen to the world? ”

King Qi shook his head and said, "Alarmist, not worth refuting." Who doesn't know that Ying Qin and Zhao people are in the same vein? If the Qin people are Rong Di, then what are your Zhao countries? Back then, the Yan Kingdom attacked Qi, and you Sanjin also made a lot of effort from it, right? Is it true that our Qi country is also a country? ”

Pang Xuan said with a smile: "That's because the first king was deceived by the Yan Kingdom back then. For so many years, the former king always regretted it whenever he thought of it. So a few years ago, in order to compensate for our mistakes, we once attacked Yan on a large scale, and finally avenged the revenge of Qi State. ”

King Qi sneered: "Since we have avenged the Qi State, why did the land, population, gold and silver wealth ceded by the Yan State belong to the Zhao State?" ”

Pang Xuan restrained his smile and said solemnly: "The first king wanted to give away the wealth and silk population to Daqi, but unfortunately soon after Zhao Yan's war stopped, the first king had already died. The new king ascended the throne, and everything was cumbersome and complicated, so it was too late to do it for a while. Now that everything has been decided, the king has sent me Pang Xuan as an envoy to the Qi country. In addition to discussing the alliance and alliance, it is precisely to compensate the Qi country to show sincerity. ”
