Chapter 88 Peace Conference (3)
It's a dead end!
Whether Zhou Gongjing retreats or advances, he will fall into the trap of Qiye.
If he retreats, Qiye will take advantage of the situation to seize the right to preside over the peace conference, with the right to preside, Qiye and the Seven Princes sing and harmonize, and it is not easy to finalize this peace conference?
On the contrary, if Zhou Gongjing goes further and competes with Qiye for the right to preside, it just so happens that Qiye can take advantage of this opportunity to remove himself and the academy from this matter.
Yes, once Zhou Gongjing succeeds, he will be able to use the power of the host to take the opportunity to make things difficult for the Seven Princes, so as to prevent the peace talks between the human and demon clans.
But in the long run, once Zhou Gongjing seizes the right to preside, there will be a catastrophe in the future.
Presiding over the peace conference, once the peace conference is successful, if something happens in the future, all the responsibility will be borne by the person presiding over the meeting, as well as the forces behind him.
Moreover, everyone knows that it is impossible for the two races of humans and demons to negotiate peace all the time, and even if this peace talks are successful, sooner or later they will turn their faces again.
This black cauldron is not something that ordinary people can carry down.
Qiye understands this truth, Wei Qingshan also understands this truth, and Zhou Gongjing knows it well, so the three of them will pass the buck to each other before, and no one is willing to take this hot potato.
This is the trap set by Qiye for Zhou Gongjing!
Is it better to take a gamble now, fight for the right to preside, and then try to stop the peace conference? Or for the sake of prudence, let go of this black cauldron without fighting or grabbing, and make plans in the future?
It's a tough choice.
No matter how you choose, Qiye is fully prepared, and Zhou Gongjing is counted dead by Qiye this time.
At the moment when Qiye showed a sly smile, Wei Qingshan figured out all these conspiracies of Qiye, and couldn't help but sigh, this person's scheming and the depth of the city are really terrifying.
In terms of resourcefulness, although Zhou Gongjing is a little worse than Qiye, he is much stronger than Wei Qingshan, so he has long seen through Qiye's conspiracy.
Or rather, it's a conspiracy!
Qiye didn't intend to hide it from Zhou Gongjing at all, so he didn't hide it, if you let me rob it, if you rob me, I will let it, and his attitude changed very quickly, which made people suspicious.
In this way, Qiye undoubtedly made it clear that this is the trap I set, there is a pit in front of you, and there is a pit in the back, whether you are going forward or backward, you have to fall into my pit, it depends on which pit you choose to jump into?
This is on the table!
Zhou Gongjing saw through Qiye's conspiracy, and after thinking about it again, he decided to take a gamble and compete for the right to preside over the conference and conference, and then use this right to prevent the conference from being held.
This is also the only way to crack the Seven Leaves Yang Scheme!
As long as you can stop the peace conference, you don't have to take risks, and you don't have to worry about the demons or terrans tearing up the contract of this peace conference and provoking a battle in the future.
As long as the conference can be stopped, all problems will be solved.
There is no doubt that Zhou Gongjing's idea is good, and his approach is also correct, and this is indeed the only way out.
It's a pity that he underestimates Qiye's determination too much, and he underestimates Qiye's means too much, since he dug this pit, Qiye will definitely force him to jump, isn't he jumping if he doesn't want to?
For the sake of this peace conference, he has been planning for so long, how can he let Zhou Gongjing stop it?
Qiye smiled gently, revealing a hint of Confucian temperament, and said, "Okay, since Brother Zhou is willing to come out to pick up this burden, I can't ask for it for seven nights." Brother Zhou Gongjing Zhou of the Heavenly Sect of Tianzong served as the host of the peace conference between the human and demon clans, and our academy agreed. β
Say put it down, let it go, Qiye's decisiveness made most of the people present more and more blindfolded, I don't know what kind of medicine is being sold in the gourd of this seventy-three gentleman?
What a treacherous Mr. Seventy-Three!
Wei Qingshan snorted coldly in his heart, and made up his mind, even if he cooperated with Qiye in the future, he must always be wary of the other party, so as not to be sold by the other party, and count the money for the other party.
Wei Qingshan also said: "The two factions of the Immeasurable View have no opinion. β
Neither Yangshan Academy nor Shushan Immeasurable View has any opinions, and the remaining six sects of Tianzong as their own people naturally have no opinions. In this way, under Qiye's calculations, Zhou Gongjing easily sat in the chair of the peace conference.
"Then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate. Zhou Gongjing smiled, his eyes flashed, intentionally or unintentionally, he glanced at Qiye, and his pupils stretched out and flashed a touch of gloomy and ruthless.
He was born smart, witty, from childhood to adulthood, he calculated others, and today he was calculated by Qiye, it was the first time, this account, he remembered.
Qiye picked up the wine glass, took a sip of fruit wine, tasted it carefully, and was leisurely.
Even if you don't look at it with your eyes, Qiye can guess Zhou Gongjing's current mood, such a proud person, how can he feel good when he is calculated by others?
But Seven Leaves doesn't care.
Zhou Gongjing, the prince of Wu State, the closed disciple of Dao Heavenly Master Shen Xugu, is nothing in Qiye's eyes, since you want to stop my business, don't blame me for being rude.
The Seventh Prince also glanced at Qiye, and seeing that Qiye was so calm and calm, he became more and more confident in his heart, and immediately said in a deep voice: "Brother Zhou, please also look at the lives of millions of people in the Snow Country, and hold a peace conference in advance." β
Zhou Gongjing said with a smile: "Seventh Prince, you have already said this part, if I disagree, it will be too unkind." Let's convene a peace conference between the human and demon races. β
The Seventh Prince said happily: "Thank you, Brother Zhou." β
Zhang Yi was shocked and exclaimed, "No...... Hum. β
With a muffled snort, Meng Tian kicked Zhang Yi's chest, making his whole person's qi blocked in his chest, unable to disperse, let alone speak, his face was flushed, and he couldn't say a word.
The Seventh Prince glanced at him and said angrily: "Meng Tian, take him down, take him under strict supervision, and after the meeting is over, this prince will take him back to the Snow Country and ask him for his guilt in front of the millions of people in the Snow Country." β
"Yes. Meng Tian carried Zhang Yi and walked out, but he soon came back, staying behind the Seventh Prince, and sitting for him, for fear that the Seventh Prince would not be able to withstand the pressure exerted by Zhou Gongjing, say something wrong, and mess up the whole plan.
After the Seven Princes took their seats, as the host, Zhou Gongjing spoke: "The Seventh Prince, I don't know what this is, what do you want to discuss?"
The Seventh Prince: "As we all know, Snow Country is located in the Great Snow Mountain in the far north, where it snows all year round, the weather is cold, and it is impossible to grow food, and a large number of people in Snow Country freeze to death and starve to death every year, which is not suitable for human habitation at all. β
"As the prince of the Snow Country, every time he sees such a scene, his heart is like a knife, he is full of grief, and after thinking about it again, the prince decided to negotiate peace with the Terrans, hoping that the Terrans can lease a part of the territory to the Snow Country, so that the people of the Snow Country can grow food and solve the problem of food and clothing. β
The Seventh Prince clasped his hands into fists and said earnestly: "If you agree and are willing to guarantee with the head of the item, from now on, the Snow Country will definitely not raise troops and invade the slightest territory of the human race. β
Zhou Gongjing sneered: "Is it good to form an alliance forever? β
The Seventh Prince: "Brother Zhou, why did he say this? Although I am not a righteous gentleman, I am now speaking as the Seven Princes of the Snow Country, my words represent the Snow Country, and I dare not say it, but I must practice my words, and the Snow Country still has this confidence." β
Zhou Gongjing: "If these words were for them, Zhou would have believed them, but from the mouth of your Seventh Prince, Zhou would have put a question mark, and your Seventh Prince's reputation is not very good." β
The Seventh Prince said slightly angrily: "What's wrong with my reputation? Brother Zhou, you have something to say, you don't have to beat around the bush." β
Zhou Gongjing said: "Since the Seventh Prince said so, then Zhou will say it directly." As far as I know, the Seven Princes are the number one princes of the Snow Country, entering and exiting the Qinglou, bullying others, bullying superiors and subordinates, from a small age to a big one, how can I believe you?"
The Seventh Prince laughed and said, "I don't know where Brother Zhou heard about these rumors of mine?"
Zhou Gongjing: "The affair of the Seven Princes has already spread all over the world, and it is difficult for Zhou to want to know." β
The Seventh Prince shook his head, and said with some loss: "I have long heard that the Lord of the Heavenly Sect, Dao Heavenly Master Shen Xugu has accepted a closed disciple, named Zhou Gongjing, who is a genius in the world, who knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and knows everything about marching and arranging, and can be called a young heavenly master." Unexpectedly, when I saw it today, it turned out to be a waste of fame, which disappointed the prince. β
Zhou Gongjing raised his eyebrows, "Seventh Prince, what do you mean by this? Are you saying that Zhou and I have wasted my name?"
The Seventh Prince snorted: "Even those rumors from the outside world believe it, aren't you wasting your name? I heard that Brother Zhou is also the prince of the Wu Kingdom, don't you know that in order to compete for the throne, even if it is between brothers, you can do fratricidal things? My brothers, afraid that I will compete with them for the throne, deliberately release those gossips to slander me and discredit me. Brother Zhou is such a smart person, can't he think of it at all? You will believe what others say? If I am really a gentleman, will I still risk my life and enter the Sheep Mountain as a hostage, in exchange for a glimmer of life for millions of people in the Snow Country?"
It's another long story, saying that the head is the way, and people can't find a reason to refute it.
Of course, this is also given to him by Qiye.
Actually, when Qiye said this to the Seven Princes last night, the Seventh Prince was still a little disdainful in his heart, because a few days ago, he and Zhou Gongjing were very close, and both of them were already called brothers.
In his opinion, once Zhou Gongjing presided over this peace conference, he would definitely not embarrass him, and he would be fooled by the simple past.
It wasn't until this moment that he realized how naΓ―ve his previous ideas were.
It turned out that the reason why Zhou Gongjing approached him and called him a brother and sister was just to get to know him better, and finally stabbed him at this critical moment at the peace conference, so that he would never recover.
The Seventh Prince was secretly glad that he was fortunate that he had Tian Qiye, a military advisor, behind him to give advice to him, otherwise, he really didn't know how he died.
Zhou Gongjing said: "Gossip is naturally not enough to rely on, but what if Zhou saw it with his own eyes?"
The Seventh Prince's heart jumped, "What did you see with your own eyes?" Brother Zhou, what did you see?"
Zhou Gongjing clapped his hands and shouted: "Invite Fan Shaobo, the prime minister of the Yue Kingdom, and his young daughter Fan Beibei to come up." β
