Chapter 714: It's just a temptation
"No, you have. But don't worry, I won't be as knowledgeable as a mere messenger for you, but I advise you to go back as soon as possible and ask your lord if he is stupid?"
When Bu Fenghou heard this, he was directly dumbfounded, and he screamed even more wildly in his heart: It's over, it's over, the young master actually insulted the lord of the Holy Dragon Country, this is even more fatal than the conflict on the border and killed and injured some people, I don't know if when the envoy returns, the Holy Dragon Kingdom will declare war on Baishi City for this! The young master is really too ...... Lawlessness!
"The lord of my family is wise......" Hao Rong couldn't help but be furious when he heard Xia Fan insulting his lord like this, his face turned red, and he was about to defend himself.
If he wasn't stupid, how could he fall for Lan Haolin's tricks so easily, as long as he wasn't blind, he could see that my people broke into the Holy Dragon Kingdom this time because they were led over, in order to make Baishi City make enemies with the Holy Dragon Kingdom. As long as he is not a fool, it is easy to analyze that Lan Haolin must be doing something behind this matter, but the head of your family does not hold the culprit accountable, but instead comes to me like a fool to make trouble, how wise do you think he can be?" Xia Fancai didn't bother to talk nonsense with Hao Rong, and directly said his judgment without concealment.
"Cough, I ......" Hao Rong now felt a little confused, because Xia Fan's words were really reasonable, so he was a little unable to refute, but he didn't forget his duty as an envoy, so he coughed lightly and wanted to reiterate his position.
"Don't speak, because you are not qualified to speak directly to me, and I am not discussing with you now. You go back to the Holy Dragon Kingdom now, tell your lord what I just said, and then let him reflect on what he was wrong, if he knows that he is wrong, let your lord think about how to eliminate my dissatisfaction with you, otherwise, just wait to bear the thunderous wrath of me, the Qiankun Sect and the entire Han Dynasty. Do you understand?" said Xia Fan condescendingly.
"Understood. Hao Rong was completely suppressed by Xia Fan's momentum, and only subconsciously answered.
"Then you can go. Xia Fan waved his hand, casually as if he had sent away a cat and a dog.
"Yes. Hao Rong nodded in agreement, and subconsciously saluted Xia Fan respectfully before leaving in a hurry.
Bu Fenghou stood aside and looked at this incredible everything, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and shouted in his heart: This is okay?! How did this be done, and the momentum of the previous arrogant envoy was completely destroyed with a scolding, and he still walked away with his tail between his legs, which is really unbelievable!
No, no, this matter can't be understood so easily. The envoy was only temporarily stunned by the young master's fact, so he was a little dizzy, and when he came to his senses later, he would definitely not give up, and when he returned to the Holy Dragon Country, he would report what the young master said to the Lord of the Holy Dragon Country, which would definitely lead to a larger-scale war.
Knowing this, I should have invited Jia Yansong to solve this matter. Thinking of this, Bu Fenghou really regretted it, but he quickly calmed down, walked up to Xia Fan and said, "Young Master, do you want me to send someone over to intercept and kill the envoy of the Holy Dragon Kingdom on the way?"
"Kill him, why?" said Shavan in wonder.
"Young Master, even if I can only march and fight and don't know diplomacy, I also know that what you just said has nothing to do with the Lord of the Holy Dragon Country...... Respect, if the envoy really brings these words back, the Holy Dragon Kingdom will definitely provoke a war, and when the time comes, ......" Bu Feng Hou said worriedly.
"Let me ask you, are you afraid of war?" Xia Fan raised his hand, interrupted Bu Fenghou's words, and asked very casually.
"Of course not. Bu Fenghou didn't even think about it, so he replied categorically. He was originally an iron-blooded general, how could he be afraid of war.
"That's right, if the lord of the Holy Dragon Kingdom really wants to provoke a war, then let him come, will I still be afraid of him?" And you just said that I have no respect for the lord of the Holy Dragon Country, hehe, you are right but you are wrong, what is his identity, what is my identity, do I need to have respect for him?" Xia Fan said with disdain.
Bu Fenghou was speechless when asked by Xia Fan, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that what Xia Fan said was really quite reasonable. Don't look at Long Xiaoshu as the lord of a country, but the Holy Dragon Kingdom is too small and remote compared to the Han Dynasty, so in terms of identity, he really can't compare with Xia Fan. This is the pride and confidence of a great country.
"That being said, Hao Rong is an envoy of a country after all, so it won't be a little inappropriate for him. Young master, I am definitely not afraid of fighting, but now that we have a small territory after all, helping Lu Chuan fight against Lan Haolin is already the limit, and if we fight against the Holy Dragon Kingdom again, it will really be a little unbearable. Bu Fenghou pondered for a moment, and finally expressed his worries.
"I am glad that you can persuade me in this way, which shows your loyalty, but you are not entirely right, although you are not entirely wrong. Xia Fan was very satisfied that Bu Fenghou could think so much about himself, but he couldn't help but feel helpless because his vision was a little narrow, so he decided to give him a click.
"Please advise the young master. Bufenghou saluted respectfully, looking like he was listening.
"If what you said just now is purely from the perspective of a general, naturally there is nothing wrong with it, although we have taken White Rock City right now, we can be regarded as having a foothold, but we have not completely gained a foothold, and it is indeed harmful to add too many enemies. But if you say this from the perspective of a country, it is really wrong. First of all, you have to figure out one thing, the Holy Dragon Kingdom obviously suffered a loss, why did it just send a messenger over, and still came secretly. Xia Fan raised a finger and looked at Bu Fenghou, waiting for his answer.
"This ...... I don't know, I'm just a general, and it's hard to guess what the lord thinks. After pondering for a moment, Bu Fenghou shook his head helplessly.
"Haha, you, you!" Xia Fan smiled and patted Bu Fenghou's shoulder, but he didn't break the little bit of caution that Bu Fenghou thought, just shook his bright finger and said: "Actually, the reason is very simple, Long Xiaoshu, the lord of the Holy Dragon Country, is not as stupid as I said, otherwise if there was a matter of our people breaking into the territory of the Holy Dragon Kingdom and killing their patrols, he would definitely declare war directly." ”
"In fact, he didn't do this, but sent an envoy, which shows that he is not reckless and he knows what is going on in his heart, and he sent the envoy, first, to show their attitude and determination, and secondly, to test our reaction, if it is too weak at this time, then it will attract the covetousness of the Holy Dragon Kingdom, so I have to show our attitude strongly, and even intimidate him in turn, in order to let him know that we are not easy to provoke, and it really provokes me, and the big deal is a war. ”
When Xia Fan said this, he stretched out another finger and said, "Secondly, you have to think about why the Blue Jade Kingdom is fighting to the death in the civil war now, and we all ran over to pick up the cheap, but the Holy Dragon Kingdom, which is not far away, has always been very restrained." ”
"The Holy Dragon Kingdom is going to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. Of course, Bu Fenghou is not stupid, with Xia Fan's reminder, he immediately figured out the reason.
"That's right, until Lan Haolin and Lu Chuan are defeated, Long Xiaoshu will not interfere in the affairs of Lan Yuguo, because only in this way can he get the greatest benefit at the lowest cost, of course, he also hopes that we will get involved and fight to the death, so unless necessary, he will not easily start a war with us, because he is not stupid and will not be willing to be used by Lan Haolin. Of course, even if he is stupid, with the words I reminded him, he should understand what is going on. Now you understand, right?" Xia Fan looked at Bu Feng Hou Dao.
"Understood, thank you young master for your guidance and teaching. Bu Fenghou did not understand it at first, but after listening to Xia Fan's in-depth analysis, it would be really stupid if he couldn't figure it out.
When he suddenly realized, Bu Fenghou couldn't help but feel ashamed. In terms of age, he is older than Xia Fan, but in terms of knowledge, the pattern is really much worse.
It's like what happened just now, if Xia Fan doesn't explain it to himself, I'm afraid that he may not be able to figure it out in the end, and if he doesn't know it, he will always feel that Xia Fan kicked in the door before, drinking and scolding the messenger or something, it was purely his temper tantrum of his dumb disciple, and now looking back, Xia Fan's actions, every sentence has his intentions, it seems to be angry but it is also righteous and strict, and at the same time, it also shows his tough attitude, which can be described as leaky.
Thinking about it again, he has been anxious about how to deal with the messenger in the past two days, compared to Xia Fan, there is really a world of difference. Thinking of this, Bu Fenghou admired Xia Fan more and more.
............
Not long after Hao Rong left Baishi City, he gradually woke up, recalling the insulting words that Xia Fan said, and couldn't help but be furious, as the so-called king humiliated the minister to death, the lord of the country was insulted like this, but he couldn't even say a word of refutation at that time, it was really ashamed, at that time, Hao Rong immediately turned around and went back, and decided that even if he was killed by Xia Fan, he had to reason with him.
It's just that after walking three or four miles towards Baishi City just now, Hao Rong's footsteps were getting slower and slower until he finally stopped, because he completely calmed down after the initial anger, and after thinking about what Xia Fan said earlier in his heart from beginning to end, although he was still a little annoyed, it didn't seem to be so difficult to accept.
The reason is very simple, although Xia Fan's words are not very good, but there is not a word of nonsense.
