Chapter 13: Alliance or Affiliation? under
The banquet was still the same, and Li Chenglong was drinking sullen wine alone. Looking at the beautiful figure of the palace maid of the Song Dynasty, Li Chenglong's eyes were on fire, and he had to drink cup after cup. As for Emperor Tianbao, who was sitting on the dragon chair, his mood at this time was infinitely good. With a large sum of money for no reason, can he not be happy? More importantly, Beihai bowed his head to the Great Song Dynasty, which made Emperor Tianbao feel ecstatic. Since the Battle of Montenegro, although the relationship between Beihai and the Great Song Dynasty has remained peaceful, there has not been much contact with each other. In order to firmly control Montenegro County, the Great Song Dynasty has been hoarding millions of elite troops in Montenegro County all year round. This also made the Beihai kings of the past dynasties not have a very good impression of the Great Song Dynasty. Now, Beihai actually bowed his head to the Great Song Dynasty, which in the eyes of Emperor Tianbao, showed his martial arts.
Thinking of this, the triumphant Emperor Tianbao took advantage of the fact that everyone didn't pay attention to him, and quietly pinched the buttocks of a palace maid beside him, and a slutty smile appeared on his face. The palace maid was so frightened that she suddenly let out a scream.
Seeing this, Guo Heng on the side suddenly turned black with his old face, coughed twice in displeasure, and glared at Emperor Tianbao with his eyes full of anger.
Emperor Tianbao, who was on the rise, suddenly felt as if he was being targeted by a fierce beast, and a chill rose all over his body, and goosebumps rose to the ground. Turning his head, Emperor Tianbao happened to see the gaze of the great general Guo Heng. Guo Heng immediately glanced at it and signaled to Emperor Tianbao that the envoys of Beihai were still in this Zhongtian Palace.
Emperor Tianbao smiled awkwardly, immediately put on a solemn face, and kindly raised his wine glass to Li Chenglong below: "General Li, I hope that the Great Song Dynasty and Beihai will cooperate happily and jointly protect the eternal peace of the Tianyun Continent." ”
Li Chenglong pinched his nose, raised his wine glass and responded: "Thank you Your Majesty for your help in times of crisis, on behalf of His Majesty the King and all the people of Beihai, I wish Your Majesty happiness as the East China Sea and longevity as Nanshan." ”
"Good, good. Happy cooperation, all Aiqing drink this cup. Emperor Tianbao beckoned his ministers to drink, and his heart was infinitely surging.
"Report...! The Chengtian military division Saharako led a delegation to meet the emperor and is currently waiting outside the Guangding Gate. At this moment, a guard galloped into the Zhongtian Hall and reported to Emperor Tianbao.
The originally lively Zhongtian Hall suddenly fell silent, Guo Heng looked puzzled, but he still remained calm. Emperor Tianbao looked at Guo Heng very calmly, anyway, the major affairs of the court, General Guo has always handled them properly. As for the rest of the Great Song courtiers, the second monk was confused, only Li Chenglong and the envoys of Beihai showed a fierce look.
"Chengtian's movements are really fast, if it doesn't work, they can only let them die in this Emperor Hill. In the flash of light, Li Chenglong had already revealed his killing intent to those angel ministers. He knows very well that if the good do not come, they will not come well. The Chengtian Empire sent the Saharako at this time, and its intention was self-evident.
"General of ......the Angel Inheritance Regiment, what do you think of this?" Emperor Tianbao suddenly heard that the Angel Inheritor was coming, and he was at a loss, so he asked Guo Heng.
Hearing this, Guo Heng said calmly: "Your Majesty, you are a guest from afar." Let the messenger of Chengtian enter the palace to face the saint and pay homage to the kingly spirit of my Great Song Dynasty. ”
"That's very good. The herald ordered those who received the angels to enter the palace immediately. Emperor Tianbao said.
"Yes!".
About half an hour later, Saharako and his party arrived at the splendid Zhongtian Temple.
"On behalf of the Emperor of our country, Saharako wishes His Majesty the Great Song Dynasty and the heavens to be blessed and live forever. Saharako prostrate on the ground and said humbly.
"Your envoy has come from afar, and the carriage and horses are tired. Come on, give me a seat!" said Emperor Tianbao smugly.
Saharako stood up in thanks, his eyes swept to the left, and he saw that the seats on the left were all filled with people dressed in sky blue costumes. Because, among this group of people, there is a person whose eyes are staring at him unabashedly, full of killing intent.
Saharako pretended not to see anything, and respectfully sat down on the seat prepared for him by Emperor Tianbao, directly opposite Guo Heng, the general of the Great Song Dynasty.
"Lord Sa came to my Great Song this time, I don't know what happened?" After the Cheng Angel Group took a seat, Emperor Tianbao asked curiously.
Hearing this, Saharako arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the Cheng Angel Group came this time to make peace with the Great Song Dynasty and ensure the friendship between the two countries for generations. ”
Saharako's words were amazing, and Guo Heng and Li Chenglong, who were drinking, were almost choked by the wine, and they all showed surprise.
As if to match the surprise of the two, Saharako continued: "This time for the marriage, my king will send Princess Yuna as a messenger to marry the Great Song Dynasty. As a sign of sincerity, our king wants to use half of the income from Yunhe's trade as Princess Yuna's dowry. In addition, there are..."Saharako said this, suddenly looked at Li Chenglong with burning eyes, and said slowly:
"And half of Beihai Menglan County!"
As soon as the words fell, Li Chenglong directly drew his sword out, the sword light flashed, and he wanted to leave all the angel bearers. Not to be outdone, the angel bearers on the opposite side drew their scimitars one after another. Suddenly, in the Zhongtian Palace, the sword light and sword shadows, the sword rattling.
"Stop it all for the old man!" At this critical moment, a figure kicked off the scimitar in the hand of an angel bearer like lightning, and then, the figure rose into the air, grabbed Li Chenglong with both hands, and slammed him to the ground.
"It's all clear to the old man! This is the Great Song Dynasty, if the envoys of the two countries want to fight so much, go back to the north bank of the Yunhe River and fight slowly. If anyone dares to go wild again, the old man is ruthless!" Guo Heng's eyes widened angrily, and he glanced at the audience, and no one dared to look at him.
Saharako hurriedly motioned for his men to lay down their weapons and make amends to Emperor Tianbao. And Li Chenglong, who had fallen all over the place, also stumbled up and punished himself with a cup to Emperor Tianbao.
The situation has stabilized for the time being, and the sword light and sword shadow just now scared Emperor Tianbao really a lot, and he is still trembling on the dragon horse at this moment. Guo Heng walked up to the Saharako and looked at the great military division of the Chengtian Empire. Under Guo Heng's gaze, Saharako felt as if he was a prey targeted by a tiger, and cold sweat broke out on his neck.
"It seems that there are still people in the Great Song Dynasty. Our army marched south, and Guo Heng must be a confidant. Fortunately, not long ago, I urged the king to use Princess Yuna as a bargaining chip to show weakness. Otherwise, even if this trip can buy Guo Kai, it will be useless. Saharako's heart flickered, and a few smiles appeared on his face, trying to dissolve the awkward atmosphere.
"Lord Sa, the old man has felt Chengtian's sincerity. Even a flaming beauty like Princess Yuna is willing to give it to Your Majesty, presumably this time you are married, and your country is determined to win. Of course, everything is up to me, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. It's just that Chengtian openly used the land of Beihai as a dowry, isn't it a provocation to the "Tianyun Peace Treaty"?" Guo Heng looked at the Saharako, step by step.
When Saharako, who was originally flustered, heard what Guo Heng said, he instantly calmed down and said calmly: "General, this is wrong. Beihai colluded with our traitors for no reason, killed the first emperor, took the initiative to provoke first, and had already thrown the "Tianyun Peace Treaty" out of the clouds. I am the righteous soldier of the Heavenly Empire, and the country of guilt, which is upright and upright, and the teacher is famous. This time he sent the Great Song Dynasty to the Great Song Dynasty to form a good relationship with the Great Song Dynasty and defend the sky and clouds together. At the same time, it is also to prevent some villains from sowing discord and damaging the friendly relationship between Chengtian and the Great Song Dynasty. After speaking, Saharako glanced at Li Chenglong.
Li Chenglong couldn't hold it back, and was about to draw his sword, but was stared at coldly by Guo Heng, and had to suppress his anger.
Saharaco's righteous rhetoric made Guo Heng a little speechless. The relationship between Chengtian and the Great Song Dynasty was actually not friendly, but as Saharako said, not long ago, the Chengtian Emperor died suddenly, and the Chengtian Empire claimed that the matter was planned by Beihai, and also listed a lot of ironclad evidence. Among them, the dimming of the Emperor Star is the most direct. After this, the stargazers of the Great Song Dynasty also made observations and came to the conclusion that the Chengtian Emperor Star was indeed eroded by some kind of force, and only Mu Yi, the head of the wooden gate, could do this.
Therefore, Guo Heng couldn't refute Saharako at the moment, so he kicked the ball to Emperor Tianbao.
"Your Majesty, do you want to make an alliance or make peace? ”
"This?" Emperor Tianbao looked left and right, he didn't know what to do if he had never dealt with court affairs. It seems that no matter how you choose, you will offend the other side. Besides, he just agreed to the Beihai alliance, and if he goes back on his word, he will have no place to put his face.
Seeing that Emperor Tianbao was hesitating, Guo Heng sighed secretly, and said again: "Your Majesty, why don't you discuss this matter tomorrow?"
When Emperor Tianbao heard this, he seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, and nodded busily: "Okay, just according to what the old general said." Let's talk about it tomorrow, and we'll talk about it again. All the Aiqing, as well as the envoys of the two countries, will disperse. After speaking, Emperor Tianbao left the Zhongtian Hall surrounded by palace maids and eunuchs.
Li Chenglong was speechless, silently watching Emperor Tianbao disappear into the Middle Heaven Palace. The duck flew like this, and Li Chenglong was unwilling. At this moment, Guo Heng walked over, patted Li Chenglong's shoulder, and said quietly: "General Li, I have set up a banquet in Mingyue Tower tonight, and I will definitely enjoy it then." ”
"The general's appointment, how dare Jackie Chan not go? The juniors will definitely go to the banquet tonight. Li Chenglong agreed.
After a while, the courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty and the envoys of the two countries left one by one, leaving Guo Heng alone, frowning, looking at the dragon chair on the Zhongtian Palace.
"Let's hope it's not a delusion. Guo Heng sighed, and then left alone.
