Chapter 191: Rupture
Shangguan Xiu's gaze still fell on the scroll and did not look at him.
After a while, the middle-aged man said again: "Villain Song Huai, see Lord Shangguan!"
"I'm not deaf, so let's just explain your intentions. Shangguan Xiu casually flipped through a page of the book.
The middle-aged man who claimed to be Song Huai took a deep look at Shangguan Xiu and said: "Today, I was escorted by the Bandung Dart Bureau to carry a dark dart, and when I was passing through Jinzhou, I had a little misunderstanding with Lord Shangguan, and I ...... it."
Before he finished speaking, Shangguan Xiu didn't raise his head and said, "Ah Jue, send off guests." ”
Hearing his words, Xiao Jue immediately walked up to Song Huai, waved his hand and said, "Your Excellency, please!"
"What does Lord Shangguan mean by this?" Song Huai looked at Shangguan Xiu in surprise and said, "I came here sincerely, how can Lord Shangguan do this to me?"
Shangguan Xiu slowly raised his head, his bright gaze fell on Song Huai's face, and said: "You don't even have a word of truth in your mouth, what kind of sincerity are you talking to me, if you still have such a set of words, then where do you come from and go back." ”
Song Huai's heart was shocked, his mind turned, and he said to Shangguan Xiu: "Lord Shangguan is really discerning, and I can only tell the truth to Lord Shangguan." Our dart game is just a pretense, but the truth is that we have found a treasure in Shah and are trying to smuggle it back home under the guise of escorting the darts. ”
Shangguan Xiu sneered, his gaze fell back on the scroll, and said slowly: "Ah Jue, send off." "Please Baidu black-rock + pavilion is our greatest support, thank you!
"Lord Shangguan, be careful that what you say is true. ”
"Come and talk to me when you're all right. Shangguan Xiu didn't bother to pay attention to him anymore, and unhurriedly raised the book in his hand upward, so that Song Huai could see the title of the book on the book cover.
Song Huai looked at it and saw four words written on the book jacket - "Ningnan Historical Records".
Seeing the title of the book, Song Huai gasped, it seems that Shangguan Xiu knows everything.
The smile on his face retracted, staring at Shangguan Xiu for a moment, he arched his hand again, bowed deeply, and said: "Lord Qiqi Shangguan, Xia Guan Song Huai, is subordinate to the Foreign Affairs Mansion of the Haotian Empire. ”
It turns out that he is really from Ningnan! He thinks that the 200,000 taels of silver were secretly transported by Ningnan to the Wind Country, but this is just the speculation of Shangguan Xiu and others, and there is no conclusive evidence in their hands, and what he did at this time was completely to deceive the other party, and he really deceived the truth.
His face was impassive, and he looked at Song Huai's gaze and said indifferently: "Well, when Mr. Song said this, he has a little sincerity to negotiate with me. ”
Song Huai took a deep breath and said: "My Haotian Empire doesn't want to be an enemy of Lord Shangguan, but I really want to be friends with Lord Shangguan, as long as Lord Shangguan is willing to nod his head now, I can guarantee that in the future, Lord Shangguan will be the King of Zhenxi!"
Shangguan Xiu was stunned, then laughed on his back, and said, "King Zhenxi? haha, whether I can become the King of Zhenxi or not, it seems that this is not something that can be decided by the Ningnan court, but depends on the court of the strong wind." ”
Song Huai smiled indifferently and said proudly: "The current wind is full of external troubles and internal troubles, full of holes, the national fortune is like rotten wood, and the national body is only like a pavilion in the air. The things of the world, together for a long time, must be divided, divided for a long time, no one can stop it, conform to the mandate of heaven, the right way, go against the sky, it is tantamount to a mantis arm as a car, Lord Shangguan is a smart person, he can naturally distinguish the stakes and the stakes, I still say the same thing, as long as Lord Shangguan is willing to stand on our side, and wait until the day when the great cause is completed, Lord Shangguan will be the hero of Haotian, and the king will worship the prime minister, just around the corner!"
"Haha!" Shangguan Xiu smiled after hearing this, and said, "Mr. Song's big cake is big enough. Song Huai is worthy of being from the Foreign Affairs Office, and he can be called a clever tongue, if others listen to his words, they may really be a little moved, but Shangguan Xiu is not someone he can send away in a few words.
He understands the truth that the things of the world must be divided for a long time, and they must be united for a long time, but the key to the problem is who will merge whom. Looking at it now, Ningnan does have a lot of advantages, but the Wind Country is not as unbearable as Song Huai said, the war between the two countries, it is difficult to say who will kill the deer.
Moreover, if he takes refuge in Ningnan, he can only be regarded as a defector, from ancient times to the present, there are few ministers who can get a good end, but there are countless rabbits and dead dogs, there are already many bloody examples in history, Shangguan Xiu does not want to add another stroke.
To the public, he may not end well if he takes refuge in Ningnan, and to say privately, he is even more unwilling to betray the Fengguo, betray his ancestors and ancestors, and become the treason minister referred to by Wanfu.
He stood up with a smile, walked up to Song Huai, and said: "Mr. Song, you are an envoy, I won't kill you, but you also have to remember for me, I, Shangguan Xiusheng, was born as a person of the gale, and death is also a ghost of the gale, let me betray the country of wind, betray the ancestors, and surrender to you Ningnan, that is impossible." As for the silver that you Ning Nan smuggled into the Wind Country, since it has fallen into my hands, there is no reason to return it to you, so much I have to say, that's all, Mr. Song, please go back. ”
"Lord Shangguan, I also remind you, those who know the times are Junjie, if you are obsessed and have to stand on this broken ship of the Wind Country, the final outcome can only be to sink with it, and when that time comes, it will be too late to regret, why don't Lord Shangguan stop carefully considering and considering, and act against the sky, how can there be a good end? Even if Lord Shangguan doesn't think about himself, shouldn't he think about the lives of the tens of thousands of soldiers under his command?" Song Huai straightened his chest, and the humble smile on his face had been replaced by a domineering face.
He continued: "There is one more thing, I can also tell Lord Shangguan by the way, in Shah, our country has stationed 200,000 troops, and there are more than 100,000 Shah reinforcements......
Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of sand in his ear chakra, and a cold light appeared in the air. Looking at Shangguan Xiu again, the saber under his ribs was already out of its sheath, on the other hand, Song Huai, the bun on the top of his head fell down, and the hair fell from the top of his head. The light that shot out of Shangguan Xiu's eyes seemed to turn into two knives and stabbed straight into Song Huai's face.
The latter's face changed drastically, and he involuntarily took two steps back, and touched the top of his head in shock and horror. How Shangguan Xiu pulled out the knife, how he came out of the knife, and how he cut off the bun on the top of his head, he didn't see anything clearly.
The light in Shangguan Xiu's eyes became more and more intense, but at the same time, a smile slowly bloomed on his face, and he said faintly: "I, it's not that I don't want to kill you, or I don't dare to kill you, but your status as an envoy saved you." I'll give you one last chance, get out of the county governor's mansion immediately, and if you dare to say more in front of me, my next cut will not be your hair, but your neck. Speaking of this, he raised the knife in his hand a little and asked with a smile: "Unless, do you want to try whether your neck is hard or my knife is hard." ”
Song Huai shook his mind and steadied himself, and then took a deep breath, bowed to Shangguan Xiu, and said, "Lord Shangguan, Xiaguan retires!"
Although the negotiations were fruitless, or even collapsed, and the other party hated the other party to death, the basic etiquette on the surface is still there, which is exactly the self-cultivation of a person, and it can also be said to be the self-cultivation of a diplomat.
The cold light in Shangguan Xiu's eyes dissipated, he smiled slightly, turned his head sideways and said, "Ah Jue, send off guests." ”
"Yes! Brother Xiu!" Xiao Jue waved his hand to Song Huai and said, "Mr. Song, please!"
"Please. Song Huai and Xiao Jue were polite, took a deep look at Shangguan Xiu, and walked out of the study.
Song Huai's initiative to come to the door can be said to be the first time that Shangguan Xiu had a head-on contact with the Ningnan Imperial Court, but after this contact, it also made the Ningnan Imperial Court completely abandon its illusions about Shangguan Xiu.
Zhengun, Xijing.
Recently, Skewin has been so busy that he has to recruit and train new recruits, and he has to worry about military pay.
Ningnan has always been very good at funding him, as long as he speaks, whether it is 100,000 taels or 200,000 taels, Ningnan's people will all agree. But this time, Ningnan's funding for him has not arrived.
In the evening, when Shi Kewen was wandering back and forth in the study in a distraught, a henchman came in and reported: "My lord, Zhao Si Gongzi asks to see you!"
"Oh, please!" said Kevin's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said.
Soon, a handsome young man with a face as white as jade walked in from outside. Seeing Shi Kevin, the handsome young man smiled slightly, arched his hand and said, "The villain sees the adult!"
Shi Kevin was just about to speak, but when he saw that his subordinates were still there, he waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Go out, no one is allowed to come in without my permission!"
"Yes!" the servant agreed, exited the room, and closed the door tightly.
When there were only two people left in the room, Shi Kaiwen and Zhao Si, the former had a smile on his face, nodded and bowed, and waved his hand again and again and said, "Childe, please take a seat." ”
Zhao Si smiled slightly and sat down predominantly. Shi Kevin hurriedly lifted the teapot, poured a cup of tea for Zhao Si, and put it on the coffee table next to him, then stood aside with his head down, bowed down and asked, "Childe, has the silver two aided by my country arrived?"
Zhao Si picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea slowly, and glanced at Shi Kewen with a smile, the corners of his mouth raised, revealing a hint of a smile. He put down the teacup and said, "There was an accident this time, and I'm afraid the silver won't be delivered in a short time." "Kneel down and beg Baidu: mobixs
