Chapter 314: The Lord of the Tiger and Wolf, every word is a threat
Stretching into a military formation, everyone held their breath, and in their intertwined sights, they watched the general named Ma Chao rush onto the stage and fight with the unhuman-like Li Xuanba.
At this time, in front of the viewing platform where the envoys of the four countries were, the close attendants of the emperor of the Xia Kingdom came up, and in front of the envoys of the three kingdoms of Qiliang and Wu, they whispered a few words in the ear of Meng Dan, the envoy of the Yue Kingdom, who was stunned for a moment, and then got up and walked down the stone steps quickly, and hurriedly went to the emperor's high platform over there.
Under the distracted gaze of the envoys of the Three Kingdoms, he untied the sword on his waist and handed it to the guards, and walked towards the high platform.
The tiger power and tiger guard armor around the Gongwei high platform made way for a person to pass through the passage layer by layer, and Wu Zixun, who was standing on the side of the stone steps on horseback, stretched out his hand and pointed to the other party's robe, and his words were simple and direct:
"Grooming."
Meng Dan didn't dare to hesitate, quickly slapped his sleeves, straightened out his chest and robe, and then stepped on the rammed earth steps and spiraled up, and each corner was guarded by one or two armor soldiers with swords and halberds.
As he went up, two tall and mighty generals of the Central Protector Army stood on the left and right with their weapons, and when they saw him coming up, they glanced at him with slightly sideways eyes, and their fierce eyes stayed on him for a moment before turning back.
Meng Dan was stared at by them, and couldn't help but shiver again, his feet under his robe were a little trembling when he walked, and not far ahead was a desk, which was full of melons, fruits, and wine.
The Emperor of the Xia Kingdom, who was dressed in imperial clothes and wearing a crown, sat there waiting for him, as if he knew that Meng Dan was coming, Su Chen's head was not a little off, and his voice was flat.
"Envoy of the Yue Kingdom, come here."
Meng Dan replied softly: "Yes!" He carefully pressed his steps and walked in front of the Emperor of Xia with fear.
"Foreign Minister Meng Dan, please meet Your Majesty."
He stood in front of the desk, facing the emperor who was more than 20 years younger than him, his tone was much more deferential than yesterday in the court, his arched hands were almost raised to the top of his head, his knees knelt on the ground, and he bowed to the ground, "May Your Majesty enjoy a long and prosperous life." ”
The flags were hunting all around, the wind blew through the high platform, the emperor's clothes were slightly caressed in the wind, Su Chen retracted his gaze from the distant ring, and smiled and asked the eunuch serving on the side to pour another glass of wine.
"Meng Dan's envoy came and sat down." Su Chen's face was gentle, and he raised his hand and pointed to the escort next to him.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Meng Dan got up and carefully went over there to sit down, took the wine glass handed by the eunuch, he didn't dare to drink it first, so he looked at Su Chen: "Your Majesty, I don't know what to call the foreign ministers, what are your orders?" ”
"Haha, don't think too much about it, I have nothing to tell you, you and I have a relationship between our two countries, and we are already friends, so naturally we can't be the same as other countries!"
Hearing Su Chen's gentle words, Meng Dan's eyes were filled with joy, this sentence would make him treat him completely differently from the other envoys of the Three Kingdoms.
He quietly picked up the jade cup, hurriedly got up and bowed to the past, learning the etiquette of the Central Plains, "Foreign ministers respect Your Majesty!" ”
"I respect the two countries for living together in harmony in the future!"
Su Chen picked up the wine glass, smiled more gently, took a sip gently, then put down the glass, brushed away the wide sleeves, and asked with a smile to Meng Dan on the side: "What does the envoy Meng Dan think of my son?" ”
"The division of a hundred battles, the general of tigers and wolves."
"Yes...... Since I started the army, after two years of fighting, the army has fought more and more, and the more elite it has become. Su Chen leaned back, and then sighed: "But, I am also tired, the soldiers are also tired, the Central Plains, the grassland, and the northern land and Kyushu are all connected together, I want to take a good look, and at the same time let the soldiers breathe a sigh, right?" ”
Meng Dan respectfully bowed his hand: "What Your Majesty said is that in the future, the two countries will increase mutual markets and have more exchanges." ”
“…… What Meng Dan's envoy said is that your southern country is mountainous and copper-iron, even when you are still in the north, I have heard about it and envy me. ”
Su Chen played with the green and deep cup in his hand, and said this sentence to make the other party nervous, and sure enough, as soon as the words came out, Meng Dan, the envoy of the Yue Kingdom, held the wine glass and trembled slightly.
"Your Majesty, the imperial brother and I also admire Your Majesty's eloquence and strategy in our hearts, this time I came over, in fact, there is one more thing, I originally wanted to talk to Your Majesty in private after the martial arts."
Just one army of Xia Guo is enough for Yue Guo to eat and walk around, if there is another one, Yue Guo will follow in the footsteps of Wei State in the Central Plains, especially when he heard the other party say that Yue Guo has more copper and iron, he panicked in his heart.
"Oh? What is the matter, but the envoy said that it was okay. Su Chen smiled and signaled that he didn't need to be nervous.
Meng Dan did not hesitate, got up and walked out of his seat, and bowed down: "Back to Your Majesty, before the foreign minister sent an envoy, the imperial brother specially told him to marry His Majesty forever, and there is a princess to marry in the clan......
"So, your imperial brother wants to be my father-in-law?"
Political marriage, or harmony, is an extremely common phenomenon, even in the later generations where Su Chen is located, those rich and noble families will adopt such marriages, which is called the right family.
At present, he wants to recuperate, but other countries will also actively prepare for war under his pressure, which he does not want to see, cutting off the economy of the two northwestern countries, and the dispute between Wu and Vietnam is the goal in the next year or two.
How to expand the dispute between Wu and Vietnam, there must be an introduction, and at this time, the introduction has been ignited on the border between Wu and Vietnam, and only Wu and Vietnam are left to let go of their hands to fight.
"Your Majesty, my imperial brother doesn't dare to think so." Meng Dan hung his head in embarrassment.
It stands to reason that his imperial brother is the father-in-law of the emperor of the Xia Kingdom, and his age is completely suitable, and he can't find fault with it legally, but he doesn't dare to answer like this.
"Since your imperial brother has such a heart, I can't shirk it, don't prevaricate with a palace maid!" Su Chen restrained the smile on his face, stared at him directly, and tapped his fingers lightly on the tabletop, "I have just laid down the Central Plains and Xirong, and there are still many things to deal with, but some people think that if I become the emperor, I will enjoy peace in the palace, then he is wrong, I don't like to be deceived, I don't like to detour the way, dare to deceive me, he will be like Zhao Chuanting and the ghosts." ”
Meng Dan was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, feeling quite happy in his heart, since the emperor of Xia Guo said so, it means that he accepted the daughter of his imperial brother and became an in-law with Yue Guo.
Both externally and internally, it will be safe, and no one will be able to shake it.
"Let's talk about your relationship with Wu Guo."
Su Chen waved his hand and asked him to go back and sit down: "Envoy Meng Dan, this martial arts exercise is actually a means for me to show it, that is, to let you four countries clearly see how brave my soldiers are. ”
At this point, Su Chen's eyes were half-narrowed, the glass cup knocked on the desk in his hand, and his voice continued, "The dispute between you and the State of Wu, I have also heard a little in the north, since you and I are both in-laws, if you want to fight the State of Wu, if you say a word, I will send troops to station in the lower reaches of the Huai River, and the soldiers will be directed at the State of Wu." Or let my soldiers and horses pass through the country of Yue and attack the state of Wu directly. ”
The Emperor of the Xia Kingdom, who was sitting with a golden sword, turned his gaze and stared straight at Meng Dan at the side door: "...... Envoy Meng Dan, do you think it is feasible? ”
Meng Dan's hands trembled, and the wine spilled out of the glass.
……
The fighting in the ring in the distance was intermittent, piercing through the sky and coming this way.
The tiger head Zhan golden gun opened and closed widely, and with a series of afterimages, Li Xuanba, who was fighting on foot, was enveloped in it.
The sound of striking iron like gold and iron was endless, and the armor leaves on Ma Chao's body kept vibrating, and the white horse sitting down neighed again and again, swinging its mane.
On the opposite side, Li Xuanba's dark iron armor has been dotted with white marks, stirring up sparks.
However, the pair of drum urns and golden hammers that were waved away brought up a fierce Gangfeng, which made Ma Chao and him sit down on the war horse and felt uncomfortable, Li Xuanba became more and more brave the more he fought, even if the hammer body did not hit anyone, the Gangfeng brought up also blew the flesh and blood on the side of the war horse to be torn out by the wind.
In front of the Youyan army array, Ma Yunlu subconsciously grabbed Zhao Yun's arm.
"Husband, you won't go up too, will you?"
On the side, Zhao Yun shook his head, looked at Ma Chao, who had the upper hand at the beginning, but gradually stopped forcing him to dodge, and smiled, "Don't go, if your brother can't fight, going up for your husband is just icing on the cake for the other party, and for the general, you should know how to advance and retreat." ”
In the ring in the field of vision of the two, a pair of sledgehammers were still attacking like a storm, and Ma Chao leaned back on the horse's back, dodging the sledgehammer that swept from above.
Li Xuanba chased after him, only listening to his "ah-" shouting, the drum urn golden hammer in his left hand smashed down, Ma Chao sat down and the white horse jumped out, the hammer smashed into the air and landed, and the ground was directly covered with mud and debris.
In the next second, Ma Chao hurriedly pulled the reins, the cloak was lifted in the wind, and the Han sword on his waist slammed out, with a cold light, and slashed at Li Xuanba with the tiger head Zhan golden gun in his hand.
However, what caught his pupils, Li Xuanba's right arm, and the second hammer followed, pressing the tiger head Zhan Golden Spear and slashing out the Han Sword, and smashed it directly.
The drum urn and the golden hammer stopped at the tip of Ma Chao's nose, and the stirred wind and waves blew Ma Chao's hair to lodge.
"Xuanba is really powerful!" Ma Chao lowered the tiger head gun and arched his hand on the horse's back...... It's only been a long time, and the progress has been so rapid! ”
"That's my second brother's credit!"
Li Xuanba was praised and immediately a little embarrassed, "But now I win?!" ”
"You've won!"
Ma Chao nodded without regret, dismounted and picked up the gun and sword, and led the war horse to turn back to the array.
……
On the high platform, the wind blew through the two people who spoke.
Su Chen stared at Meng Dan for a moment, and suddenly laughed, "Envoy Meng Dan, you don't have to be so nervous, I just laughed"
Hearing this, Meng Dan was obviously relieved.
At this time, Su Chen stood up from behind the desk, bypassed the desk and came to the front of the high platform, he looked at the victory and defeat in the ring in the distance, "Since your imperial brother intends to marry me, it would be better, and I can deal with the enemies within the Central Plains with peace of mind." ”
After a pause in his tone, he looked at the ring in the distance, agitated his internal strength, and shouted in a high-pitched voice.
"The victory and defeat have been divided, Li Xuanba won, and he is specially given the title of the first fierce general of Xia Kingdom!"
