Chapter 171: The East Gate Stays in the Palm, and the Hundred Leagues Circle the South
Lin Yan smiled indifferently: "Brother Lu doesn't have to care, what should you do in the future, what will you do, as long as the envoy of Wu Zhen does not sentence the country to overstep, you don't have to pay attention to it." β
Lu Teng looked stunned.
That's it?
Lin Yan didn't care at all that his power and status were hollowed out?
Yes.
What kind of power and status do you need to cultivate to reach such a state as his?
The commander of the Fusi Division in the north town is nothing at all.
No wonder his achievements in martial arts are so terrifying.
Light this state of mind.
It's that I can't compare to myself.
Lin Yan patted Lu Teng on the shoulder: "Brother Lu, cultivate hard and improve your strength, this is more important than anything else." β
Lu Teng clenched his fists: "Thank you Brother Lin for reminding me." β
β¦β¦
Duanmu family.
Duanmu Mingxuan stood in front of Duanmu Cheng, bowing his head slightly.
"Mingxuan, you said Lin Yan is back?"
Duanmu Mingxuan: "Yes." β
Duanmucheng: "What about that old thing?" Didn't he go to hunt down Lin Yan, how could he still let him come back alive? β
Duanmu Mingxuan shook his head: "I don't know." β
Duanmu Cheng said: "I let you follow that old thing, everything is subject to his arrangement, you have been wronged over the years, in the future, be yourself." β
Duanmu Mingxuan's face was calm: "What does the ancestor mean is that he can't come back?" β
Duanmu Chengdao: "The imperial city where he and Lin Yan left one after the other, since then, it has been destined that only one of the two of them can come back alive."
"Hmph.
"It's really unexpected, the Zhu family actually found such a boy who defended the sky.
"And that old guy, who has been planning under the noses of Zhu Chongjiu and me for so many years, ended up with both bodies dying, and all his efforts were in vain.
"Hehe, it's ironic.
"And the source of all this is a nameless boy who suddenly appeared."
Duanmu Mingxuan was noncommittal: "This person, how to deal with it?" β
Duanmu Cheng was silent for a moment: "Now is not the time to turn his face with Zhu Chongjiu, let him live, when he enters the Xuan Realm, it is not too late to kill."
"And you have to remember that in the face of such an ungodly opponent, you only have one chance to make a move, and if he doesn't die, you die."
Duanmu Mingxuan nodded: "I understand." β
β¦β¦
Three days later, in the early morning.
Lin Yan was called by Duanmu Mingxuan early in the morning and accompanied him to greet the envoys of the Baimeng Dynasty.
Lin Yan was strange.
Come on, come on.
Why do you have to call him to meet him?
And this kind of thing is not what Jinyiwei should do.
"Haha...... Brother Lin, do you know who are the envoys who came this time? Duanmu Mingxuan asked with a chuckle.
Lin Yan looked puzzled: "It won't be another princess, right?" β
Duanmu Mingxuan smiled knowingly: "This time it is the grandson of the second elder of the Baimeng Dynasty, and he is also a peerless genius who is regarded by the Baimeng Dynasty as the three elders of the future.
"His status is equivalent to a future prince with real power, so we can't lose our share of the Great Ancient Dynasty, so the Holy Lord decided to let you come together to greet him to show good relations."
In fact, Lin Yan was not in the mood.
This early in the morning.
Can't you change the prince?
Never mind.
Let's see who has come to the Baimeng Dynasty.
It's just that......
These guys do it on purpose, right?
It's been an hour and no one has come?
"Report! Enlighten the prince! The envoys of the Baimeng Dynasty had arrived thirty miles away, stopped by the river to rest, and were expected to arrive after three o'clock in the afternoon. β
The spies reported respectfully.
Lin Yan immediately turned his head to look at Duanmu Mingxuan, who had also been waiting for an hour, and saw that the latter had an indifferent and calm look, as if everything was normal.
Lin Yan shouted: "Brother Duanmu, shouldn't all the envoys of the Hundred Alliance Dynasty have diarrhea in the morning and their legs are weak, so they are still resting thirty miles away after delaying?" β
Duanmu Ming Xuanming made it clear what Lin Yan meant beyond his words.
After all, the news from the Baimeng Dynasty was that it had arrived in the imperial city at three o'clock this morning, and it was already three o'clock this morning.
A full hour passed.
The sun has risen so high, shining on people, and there is a burning sensation.
Waiting outside the city gates under such a sun is also a kind of torture.
Of course.
For a strong person like himself and Lin Yan, such sun illumination is nothing at all.
But those civil servants are miserable.
One by one, they were sweating profusely from the sun.
To say that the people of the Baimeng Dynasty did not mean it.
Even he didn't believe it.
Duanmu Mingxuan smiled lightly: "Brother Lin, just tell me this, in front of the envoys of the Baimeng Dynasty, it's better not to say it, it's not conducive to the diplomatic relations between the two countries." β
Lin Yan asked rhetorically: "They deliberately let us cool us here to bask in the sun, do they want to benefit the diplomatic relations between the two countries?" β
Duanmu Mingxuan did not answer.
He also knew that this was the Baimeng Dynasty, which was slightly stronger than the ancient dynasty, so he deliberately gave the ancient dynasty a little bit of power.
But so what?
Just wait.
If you are upset about such a small thing, how can you talk about calm?
Duanmu Mingxuan felt that Lin Yan's current impetuousness was mostly pretended, otherwise, how could Lin Yan have such a terrifying cultivation strength?
Hehe.
Pretending to be impetuous, it is useless in front of yourself.
Lin Yan beckoned, called an official of the Ministry of Rites, and instructed: "You take two people and rush ten miles away to meet the envoys of the Baimeng Dynasty, and tell them that at three o'clock today, this king has itching for a while, and accidentally shook the road with one palm, and it will take time to repair, please let the envoys detour through the south gate." β
The ancient dynasties were particular about the use of city gates.
East Gate!
It is the noon door, the door is open and there are three, the middle is the main gate, and there are the left side door and the right side door on both sides.
Envoys of great powers can enter through the door on the left side of the noon gate.
The main entrance is often opened under solemn circumstances such as the emperor's patrol and the new champion's parade.
The door on the right is the place where the east gate enters and exits every day.
South Gate.
It is the passage used by the envoys of the subject countries when they visit.
The official of the Ministry of Rites was stunned: "This ...... There's no problem with this pavement. β
He wanted to remind Lin Yan that the south gate was a passage for the envoys of the vassal countries, but after thinking about it, he didn't dare to say it, but there was no problem with the road surface.
Lin Yan patted the other party's shoulder: "After you take someone to set off, it will have a problem." Don't be stunned, let's go. β
The official of the Ministry of Rites couldn't help but glance at Duanmu Mingxuan.
Lin Yan said: "If there is any mistake in the itinerary of the envoys of the Baimeng Dynasty because of your delay, it will not be enough to compensate for the sacrifice of your entire family." β
The official of the Ministry of Rites was so frightened that he nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, the next official will go." β
Wait until the Ministry of Rites official leaves with two guards.
Lin Yan directly stepped into the air and slapped it down.
Airplanes!!
A golden-red light surged out, and even in the middle of the day, when the sun was shining, there was still a dazzling light that was competing with the sun.
A huge golden-red Buddha shadow appeared out of thin air.
There is also a dragon phantom coiled around its body.
Heaven and earth seem to change color at this moment.
Lin Yan slapped his palm towards the road surface diagonally below.
The shadow of the Buddha and the shadow of the dragon unleashed a terrifying coercion at the same time, and a huge golden-red palm print fell in the dragon's groan, slamming on the road.
Bang!!
The air waves were flying, the smoke and dust were rolling, and the ground seemed to shake.
Except for Duanmu Mingxuan.
The other officials and guards who were also waiting outside the city raised their hands, blocked their faces, and closed their eyes.
Even some of the people who stood in front were swept backwards by the air wave.
Wait until the smoke clears.
The pavement and a large area around it have all been photographed as a giant palm pit.
Don't talk about the road.
If you want to pass through this palm pit, unless all the people who come are the cultivation of the great grandmaster, and the light skill is not weak, it is possible to jump over.
Otherwise.
You can only jump into the palm pit, then walk up a section, and then jump up from the other end.
Otherwise, just like Lin Yan said.
Take a detour through the South Gate.
Lin Yan fell from the sky and ordered, "Ladies and gentlemen, please go to the south gate to greet the envoys of the Baimeng Dynasty.
"In addition, leave a few people to wait here, in case the envoys of the One Hundred Alliance Dynasty have to enter the city from here, so that they can be placed in the Honglu Temple Post House."
After speaking, Lin Yan had already ridden his horse and walked towards the imperial city.
He slapped it.
Directly cut off the entire east gate of the road, not a month, not at all repaired, only by detouring some mountain paths, can pass.
But such a mountain trail, how can the people of the Baimeng Dynasty find it?
Even if you find it, taking a detour like that is no different from going around the South Gate.
A group of officials from the Ministry of Rites were all stunned.
What should I do?
"Hehe, it's a good move to capture the east gate of the old man, and the hundred leagues go around the south." Duanmu Mingxuan chuckled.
At this time, the officials of the Ministry of Rites found that Duanmu Mingxuan had also mounted his horse and walked towards the imperial city.
Immediately, an official of the Ministry of Rites began to arrange, leaving a few people to wait here, and the others all followed towards the south gate.
Can walk and walk.
Lin Yan suddenly turned his head and said, "Okay, let's all disperse." β
The officials of the Ministry of Rites were stunned.
I didn't understand what Lin Yan meant.
Didn't you say that you were going to the south gate to meet the envoys?
Lin Yan shook his head in disappointment and explained, "Do you think the people of the Baimeng Dynasty will really make a detour through the south gate? β
After speaking.
Lin Yan had already walked towards the Xia Palace.
And Duanmu Mingxuan on the other side didn't follow him at all, and he had already returned to Duanmu Mansion.
A group of officials from the Ministry of Rites froze in place.
Donβt know whether to wind a watch or bark at the moon.
At this time, another accompanying official said: "We have sent someone to inform the envoys ten miles away, because of the road conditions, please ask them to take a detour to the south gate, and this greeting procession should naturally appear at the south gate."
"But the envoys did not detour to the south gate, so naturally they did not see the welcoming procession.
"So, it's not counted as a rude loss in my country."
Hear the words.
The official of the Ministry of Etiquette frowned and said, "But ...... What if the envoys really made a detour to the south gate and didn't see anyone to greet them? β
"The envoys of the vassal countries will enter through the south gate, and the people of the Baimeng Dynasty don't know it, how can they make a detour?"
"But what if?"
"Otherwise, let's go to the south gate to meet you."
"I think it's safer."
"Well, I agree."
"We are not comparable to Prince Lin, he is a king side by side, he is deeply loved by the saints, and he can be forgiven if he makes mistakes, but we can't."
"Where's Duanmu-sama? He was gone too. β
"Lord Duanmu is a powerhouse of the transcendent Holy Realm, and he is the mainstay of the martial arts, can you compare?"
"Let's go to the south gate and wait."
ββ¦β¦β
Those who dare to leave like Lin Yan and Duanmu Mingxuan will not have a third person.
All the officials of the Ministry of Rites rushed to the south gate.
Soon.
They heard that the people who stayed at the east gate had rushed to report that the envoys of the Hundred Leagues had entered through the left gate of the east gate and had now been placed in the Honglu Temple Post House.
All the officials of the Ministry of Rites also evacuated from the south gate.
It's not their fault anyway.
The team to greet the envoys was all waiting at the south gate, and it was the envoys of the Baimeng Dynasty who refused to change their route to bypass the south gate, who is to blame?
And this matter soon spread throughout the imperial city.
"This Lord Lin is really clever!"
"Hehe, I also saw those people from the Ministry of Rites waiting outside the south gate, sweating profusely. It's still the king of Xia who is powerful, everything is accurate, and he went back to the palace early in the morning to enjoy the coolness. β
According to the people who passed by the east gate at that time, looking at the huge pit on the road, the envoys were stunned, and many of them jumped down from the pit and slowly climbed up. All of them turned green with anger. β
"It's strange, why would they rather jump out of the pit and climb out of it than take a detour?"
"You don't understand this, hasn't King Xia already sent someone to inform them in advance? But they are the envoys of the Baimeng Dynasty, and they are very arrogant, so they naturally want to enter the east gate to show the strength of their dynasty, where are they willing to change their ways?
"And then our people followed them all the way, did they still have the face to change course after they saw that palm pit? Of course, I had to jump in. β
"Not only that, the gate on the left side of the east gate is for the envoys of the powerful country to enter and exit, and the south gate is for the envoys of the vassal countries to enter and exit, how can the envoys of the Baimeng Dynasty be diverted to the south gate?"
"I see, hahaha...... Wonderful! β
"Hmph, you deserve it. Obviously said that the hour would arrive at three o'clock, but the people of the Baimeng Dynasty were already an hour late, and they deliberately rested thirty miles away, asking me to wait for the officials, which already showed their arrogance, and King Xia must have seen this at a glance, so he would do so. β
"How do you know?"
"My uncle is from the Ministry of Rites, how do you say I know?"
"Hahaha...... King Xia's move is really high, not only for our Great Ancient Dynasty out of the bad breath, but also to give the people of the Baimeng Dynasty a dismount. β
"This anger is out, but it is not conducive to the diplomatic relations between the two countries?"
"Humph! Soft bones! People put the people of our dynasty in the cool and bask in the sun, and they did not intend to benefit the diplomatic relations between the two countries at all. Do we still have to kneel down and beg them to fail? If you want me to see, King Xia has given Ma Wei well. β
ββ¦β¦β
in the Royal Palace.
Wang Zhongxian reported all the latest news to Zhu Zongyou, who couldn't help but smile slightly.
"The third brother's move wanted to capture the old man, but he gave the envoys of the Baimeng Dynasty a dismount. Sure enough, it was really not wrong to let him go to meet the envoys. β
Wang Zhongxian was accompanied by a smiling face.
"It's all the wisdom of the saints, coupled with the wisdom and courage of the Xia King, which gave those people in the Baimeng Dynasty a lesson.
According to the news from the people who stayed outside the east gate, after seeing the palm prints left on the ground by King Xia, the faces of those people in the Baimeng Dynasty turned green, and they looked like they had eaten flies, and they couldn't vomit if they wanted to, so they could only swallow it forcibly.
"Later, when I came to the Honglu Temple Post House, their future genius elder, his face was still ugly."
Zhu Zongyou smiled: "Go back and arrange it, let the Ministry of Rites prepare a banquet, and apologize for the trouble caused to them by King Xia's unintentional actions." β
Wang Zhongxian said, "Then do you want to invite King Xia to attend?" β
Zhu Zongyou chuckled: "The third brother and Duanmu Mingxuan are both the ones who went to greet them, and the etiquette is still complete." β
Wang Zhongxian immediately understood and immediately retired.
Zhu Zongyou smiled expectantly: "Third brother, it's up to you next." β
In the Xia Wangfu.
Wang Zhongxian personally conveyed Zhu Zongyou's meaning to Lin Yan, begged for a cup of tea to drink, and then left with a smile.
Lin Yan smiled: "Yanrou, Ruixue, Mu Bing, Feng Yao, the four of you prepare and go to the banquet with me in the evening." β
I heard that Lin Yan was going to take the four of them out together.
Shui Yanrou and the others were all very happy.
Because this is equivalent to saying that Lin Yan has begun to let others know about the existence of the four of them.
It's an acknowledgment of the identities of the four of them.
Evening.
The Ministry of Rites set up a banquet in the imperial city, one for the envoys of the Baimeng Dynasty to receive the wind and wash the dust; Second, I apologize for the failure to repair the road surface in time.
On the face, it can be regarded as giving the Baimeng Dynasty a step.
Merely.
The people of the Baimeng Dynasty were very unhappy in their hearts.
"Humph! What prince? I also dare to humiliate our elder Ji, and at today's dinner, see how I humiliate him. β
"I heard in the city during the day that this prince is very young, the same age as us, known as the peerless genius of the ancient dynasty, and there are five first names in the world, and he is very divine. It's better not to underestimate it. β
"Humph! I've also heard that he can kill the powerhouses of the transcendent Holy Realm, do you believe that? β
"If you don't believe it, how do you explain the palm print outside the city?"
"Does this need an explanation? The ancient dynasty sent people to do good things, you don't think it's really some kind of bullshit prince slapped with a palm, right? β
"That kind of palm, at least you have to be a strong person in the rebirth realm to hit it, do you think people of our age can reach that kind of cultivation realm?"
"In short, this matter makes Elder Ji very dissatisfied, and we will vent our evil anger for Elder Ji tonight."
"It's not just for the elders of Ji, but also for our Baimeng Dynasty to get back face."
The young masters of the Baimeng Dynasty walked very unambiguously, and soon came to the banquet scene arranged by the Ministry of Rites.
"Distinguished guests of the Hundred Leagues Dynasty, please come inside."
The official in charge of greeting him smiled.
"Humph!"
Several young men snorted coldly, not even bothering to look at the smiling official.
The latter didn't dare to be angry, and still had a shy smile.
The people in the back also snorted coldly.
It didn't take long.
Lin Yan also took Qi Mubing and the other four to the banquet venue, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites hurriedly greeted them.
"Lord Wang, you're here."
Lin Yan nodded and was about to go in.
Duanmu Mingxuan also walked over.
"Brother Lin, take a step to speak."
Lin Yan turned his head to look at Qi Mubing and the other four women: "You guys go in first and find a place to sit down." β
The four of them, led by an official of the Ministry of Rites, took the lead in entering the banquet venue.
And Lin Yan walked to the other side with Duanmu Mingxuan.
In a gazebo.
Duanmu Mingxuan said with a serious face: "Brother Lin, this banquet can be regarded as an apology to the Ji elders of the Baimeng Dynasty, if they have a bad attitude, you should take care of it more, don't make it difficult for the saint."
"The strength of the Baimeng Dynasty is very strong, and the Holy Lord doesn't want to start a war with them and make the people miserable."
Lin Yan smiled: "Brother Duanmu is too worried, as long as they are not too excessive, I am still very generous." β
Duanmu Mingxuan was noncommittal.
He continued: "As far as I know, although the person who took the lead in the Hundred League Dynasty this time is Ji Yuzhuo, the grandson of the second elder of the Hundred League Dynasty, he is not the strongest among the younger generation.
"The Baimeng Dynasty has produced a chosen son, and his strength is extremely terrifying. I don't know who this person is yet, but I think he must have come with him.
"Also.
"The Hundred Leagues Dynasty has a powerhouse who breaks the void realm, that is, the two elders of the Hundred Alliances Dynasty. And this is something that our Great Ancient Dynasty did not have. β
Lin Yan was a little surprised: "The two elders are the strongest? β
In addition, Lin Yan also heard that the strongest person in the ancient dynasty should be the three-person realm.
This is really not comparable to the broken realm of others.
Duanmu Mingxuan nodded: "Not bad." It's just that the two elders are only obsessed with cultivation and have no interest in power, and they are sworn brothers with the great elders, so they didn't sit in the position of the great elders.
"But as long as he is here, the Baimeng Dynasty is the strongest dynasty in the Eastern Regions."
Lin Yan understood: "You mean to tell me, don't offend that Ji Yu to death, right?" β
Duanmu Mingxuan nodded: "Yes." β
On the other side, the banquet venue.
Qi Mubing, Qi Fengyao, Fifth Ruixue, and Shui Yanrou, under the leadership of officials from the Ministry of Rites, have already taken their seats in the venue.
"If the four girls have any orders, please feel free to mention them." The official of the Ministry of Rites said very politely.
Fifth Ruixue nodded and waved his hand to signal that he could step back.
And the appearance of the four of them.
It immediately attracted the attention of many young people around.
"Shhh...... I didn't expect to meet four such beautiful women, especially two of them, which are simply unparalleled. β
"Looking at the attitude of the officials of the ancient dynasty towards them, I am afraid that their status is not low."
"So what? Is it that the status of our people is low? β
"Such a beauty, wouldn't it be a pity not to take the opportunity to get acquainted."
"I don't think it's necessarily a high status, after all, this is a banquet to apologize to our dynasty, maybe it's a dance."
"Hehe, if a few brothers are interested, I think they can step forward, just now when I was outside the door, I saw a young man send the four of them to the door, and then left. These four women could never have any strong backgrounds. β
"Oh? Is this true? β
"Seriously! And didn't you hear what the official called them? It's the 'Four Girls'. β
"Hehe, then you're welcome."
"Brother Li wait for me, I'll go too."
"Count me in."
"And me."
Seven or eight young masters of the Baimeng Dynasty walked towards the place where Qi Mubing and the others were sitting with excitement on their faces.
