[448] Trade was stopped
"What?" "What?" widened his eyes, and suspicion overflowed from the middle of his pupils, and Chang Fu, who quickly covered his entire eye socket, thought that his ears had misheard, and stared at the gloomy and sad King Ma Shou for a few breaths, until he saw that the Prime Minister Ma Qitian was also full of shock, and then he accepted the fact that he really heard correctly.
King Ma Shou is not a whim nor is his ears soft, this decision to agree with Zhao'an is the result of his careful consideration; for his own sake, Zhao'an King Ma Shou can not bear this matter at all. But if it is for the sake of the people, he is willing to endure.
If he is willing to be recruited, it can indeed make the invasion of Mashou Kingdom by the Bear Kingdom illegal, and it is even possible that because of the support of the Northern Yin Dynasty, he can smoothly get back the lost land and people. Although even if he wants to come back, he will no longer belong to King Mashou, but at least in this way, the captured people will no longer have to be slaves in the country of Youxiong.
In the underworld, only the Nine Shadows Kingdom has been kind to captives for thousands of years, but Xiao Shizhu, the king of the Nine Shadows, was also regarded as naïve by most of the other princes and kings, and laughed at it fiercely.
Other princes and kings treated prisoners of war either by killing them on the spot or by bringing them back to their homeland, and treating them all as slaves, either bought and sold or taken to work as coolies.
Xiao Si's parents, who saved Xiao Shizhu back then, were prisoners of war captured by the enemy army from the land of the defeated country. In the end, he didn't escape the end of being sold to the ghost slave market of the slave trade, and gave birth to Xiao Si in it, which is the dark side of the underworld.
Although King Ma Shou does not have Xiao Shizhu's ability, he can drastically eradicate the ghost slave market in his own country and secretly buy and sell human souls, but he also does not want his people to eventually become slaves who are sold by his ghosts.
So he decided to accept Zhao'an.
"Don't say it, it's decided. King Ma Shou, who had a faint bitterness on his face, raised his hand to interrupt Changfu and Ma Qitian, who were relieved from their stunned thoughts and were about to open their mouths to persuade each other, turned their heads to look at Ma Qishan, who was slightly proud because he had adopted the other party's opinion, sighed lightly and asked helplessly: "What should we do?"
The words of Chang Fu and Ma Qitian, both of whom were about to reach their mouths, retracted stiffly with the resoluteness that flashed in his raised hand and his eyes.
Immediately entertained the envoys of the Beiyin Dynasty with delicious food and drink, and the king immediately repaired the book to the Emperor Xudu, expressing his willingness to be recruited. Ma Qishan's deep round eyes turned around when he was struggling with King Ma Shou, and said slowly: "As far as the minister knows, the Zhao'an Holy Decree of the Emperor of Xudu has not only been issued to our country, but all the other countries in Fenglin Continent have it, but as long as the king's list is faster than that of other vassal states, it will only do more good than disadvantage." When Emperor Xudu was overjoyed to receive the above table, he would inevitably make our country and the king an example of supporting the imperial power, and use it to hype up and accelerate the determination of the other vassal states. At that time, the king and the people of our country will be the great heroes of the Beiyin Dynasty, and the treatment will definitely be better than the princes and princes who expressed their willingness to be recruited later. ”。
Ma Qishan is not a villain who rebelled, nor was he bought by the ghosts of the drunken capital, and he was disloyal to Ma Shouguo, but he was a man who believed in knowing the times as a handsome man, and he was a selfish human soul. In his opinion, the principle is not important, as long as it brings the greatest benefit, the principle is a fart.
There is nothing wrong with this, and his analysis is very reasonable, and the strategy can indeed bring great benefits to the people of Mashou Kingdom and save the people from the war, but he miscalculated a little, the old ghost of Emperor Xudu is famous for being good at backsliding.
And he is familiar with the cunning rabbit dead lackey cooking, and the bird is good at hiding the bow.
In the past, together with him, they worked together to destroy the divine servants and ghost soldiers of the ancient gods, which one of them did not fight for his current imperial power? But where are these heroes now? Almost all of them were lured by him to the world in the Yellow Springs to destroy themselves!
But King Mashou is also a human soul who is affectionate and righteous, and he will regress for the sake of the people, so after only thinking about it for a while, he nodded a few times again and again: "The matter of entertaining the ghost envoy will be left to you; ”。
Xiao Shizhu's original plan to use Ma Shou Kingdom to fight against Youxiong Country and let Fenglinzhou continue to be in turmoil and make the Northern Yin Dynasty unable to take care of each other was also aborted.
"Your Majesty, we are still discussing trade with the Nine Shadows. King Ma Shou's voice had just landed, and Chang Fu, who could no longer hold back his angry eyes, opened his eyes angrily, and shouted loudly: "It is understandable that you want to be responsible for the people, but the Nine Shadows King is also persuaded by the best efforts of the Headless King Xingtian, and is ready to provide various weapons for our country;
King Ma Shou was stunned by his question, and his body trembled slightly, but then he opened his mouth and couldn't refute him.
The cold wind outside the pavilion was still howling, pouring into the pavilion one by one, blowing a trace of hesitation in the eyes of King Mashou's clothes.
Seeing that hesitation was in the eyes of King Ma Shou, selfishness kept emerging in Ma Qishan's heart, in order to prevent his proposal from being vetoed, and since then he has lost the opportunity to become a hero who supports the imperial power, Ma Qishan, who obviously felt justified after listening to Changfu's words, immediately suppressed this thought quickly in his heart, and said coldly: "The Nine Shadows Country is a small country, but it is just a few pieces of land that have been very lucky in recent years, but it is also an arm and a thigh with the Northern Yin Dynasty, how can that arm be twisted too much thigh?" How can there be a reason to hold your arms instead of holding your thighs?"
After a pause when he said this, Ma Qishan did not give up after seeing that there was no hesitation in King Mashou's eyes, and then struck while the iron was hot, and stared at King Mashou excitedly and asked urgently: "If the opportunity to recruit peace is given up just for the sake of trade with the Nine Shadows Kingdom, how long will the people of our country struggle in the war?"
As soon as these words came out, the hesitation in King Mashou's heart was completely dispelled, and after he nodded in agreement with Ma Qishan's words, he still couldn't bear to ask softly: "How do the trade envoys of the Nine Shadows Kingdom reply?"
"There is no need to reply. Ma Qishan's face immediately became gloomy, and a trace of cold murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and the five fingers of his right hand rose together, and he gently wiped it across his neck, and coldly spit out a word in his mouth: "Kill!"
At the top of the pavilion, the yellow glazed tiles on it shine brightly, but the pavilion under the umbrella-shaped roof is a sudden drop in temperature in the cold wind.
"Isn't this good? Our country and the Nine Shadows Country have no grievances in the past and no enmity in the near future, not to mention that the two armies are not fighting each other. When the demons were stunned, King Mashou, who had a look of embarrassment on his face, said a little hesitantly.
"Having said that, killing them is just the right time to send a big gift to the Beiyin Dynasty as a sign of sincerity. Ma Qishan arrived categorically, and the murderous intent in his eyes was a little more powerful than before.
Chang Fu and Ma Qitian were about to open their mouths to refute, but they had no choice but to crawl between their eyebrows, and Ma Shou Wang, who was still embarrassed and embarrassed with more and more embarrassment on his face, sighed and shook his head, waved his hand and said, "Stand down, leave it to Chang Fu at this time." ”。
"No. Ma Qishan responded proudly, while Chang Fu and Ma Qitian were a little helpless, but they had to follow suit.
When they turned around and were about to leave the pavilion, King Ma Shou suddenly called Chang Fu again: "General Chang, wait a minute." ”。
Changfu immediately stopped, while Ma Qishan and Ma Qitian were stunned for a moment, each speculating and guessing and leaving.
After seeing them disappear from his sight, King Ma Shou slowly stood up from the throne, slowly walked to Changfu's side, stood side by side in a tone, and whispered in the other party's ear with a slight tilt: "Quickly go and inform the envoys of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and escort them to escape from the country." ”。
As soon as he finished speaking, King Ma Shou immediately walked out of the pavilion slowly as if nothing had happened, turned a corner, and walked towards his dormitory with the guards outside the pavilion......
The night is like a curtain of darkness, slowly opening between heaven and earth. The lights in the Yuque Palace are bright, illuminating those jade buildings.
In front of the main building in the Juexiang Garden, there are twelve round jade seats on both sides of the royal road with five spherical stone lamps on top, and the stone lampstands carved from a whole piece of bluestone have been lit, illuminating the surrounding areas in the night, the leaves of the palace that gather during the day, stretch at night, and the red plum that blooms blood-colored flowers in the cold wind.
In the main building, the two main lampposts on both sides of the bookcase resemble the trunks of a large tree, and a total of fifteen branches are divided from the bottom to the top, and a lampstand with a leaf-shaped flame lamp plate on each branch has also been lit.
Under the firelight swaying a few times in the wind, Xiao Fuling was lying on the bookcase and falling asleep, sometimes making a few low dreams.
She was just sad after dinner, thinking that she could squint for a while, but she didn't expect to fall asleep, and under her pillow arms were stacks of ununfolded notebooks.
"Lord Qiqi. Suddenly, Chen Ruo's voice came from outside the door, which suddenly woke up Xiao Fuling, who was sleeping groggyly: "Lord Hu Hui and Lord Lu Wu ask to see each other." ”。
"Did something happen in the big night?" Xiao Fuling, who was calm, reached out after a long yawn to wipe the saliva from the corner of her mouth, and said, "Xuan!"
The moment the words landed, Lu Wu and Hu Hui hurriedly strode in from outside the building, and when they stood in front of the bookcase, they saw that Xiao Fuling was still sleepy, and they were also stunned.
"Lord Qiqi. Hu Hui, who hurriedly settled down, took the lead in beating Xiao Fuling, and said in a hurry: "The Xuanjiao arranged for the disciples who lurked in Fenglin Continent to return, and the Northern Yin Dynasty began to recruit peace in Fenglin Continent, and the first to agree was the Ma Shou Kingdom with whom the lord wanted to trade. ”。
"Lord Qiqi. When Xiao Fuling was so frightened that she was completely sleepy, Lu Wu, the tiger body who was standing upright, said again: "According to what the lord explained, the envoy sent by Fang Caichen also sent back the news that Ma Shouguo not only accepted Zhao'an, but his minister Ma Qishan also killed them as a congratulatory gift to the Beiyin Dynasty. Now the general of Ma Shou Kingdom, Chang Fu, is escorting them to escape under the secret instruction of King Ma Shou. ”。
"How can this be reasonable!" Hearing this, Xiao Fuling, who was in fact slammed the table, raised her eyebrows and scolded angrily: "The two countries are at war and they don't kill the envoys, and Ma Shouguo actually dares to kill our envoys." ”。
"The matter has been reported to the lord, but the lord has written back to let you decide. Hu Hui added.
The angry Xiao Fuling only thought for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Immediately stop all preparations for trade, and let Heilong County Taishou Jumang send a fleet to meet the envoys." ”。
After a period of supervision, Xiao Fuling is very experienced in dealing with various emergencies, and will soon be able to get along with the most reasonable and effective way to deal with them.
After finishing speaking, Xiao Fuling, who was gloomy and increased in silence, pondered carefully in the silent waiting of Hu Hui and Lu Wu, and said: "Inform all the Xuanjiao disciples lurking in Fenglin Continent in my country that they will immediately turn into pieces and continue to hibernate, and all work will be transferred from the ground to the underground; ”。
