CHAPTER XXVIII
Chi country, above the court.
"What, Lord Lan was killed by bandits......? But how?"
"In such a year of famine, it is the time to employ people, but Lord Lan is ...... But, alas!"
"Mr. Shi is lucky, he actually met the legendary immortal master, and gave him a helping hand, this is only a rumored immortal cultivator, and it is the first time in my life that I have heard that he has really come to the earthly world. ”
"As long as those immortals can have some pity for Chi Guo, this disaster may not be able to set off any storms!"
......
Mr. Shi knelt down at the foot of the Jinluan Palace, and the news he brought back to the court was so shocking that it brought a great earthquake to the entire Chi State regime, and every official of the Chi Kingdom smelled something unusual, and everyone's thoughts were different.
"Silence!" A figure on the Jinluan Hall had eyes in his eyes, and his every move showed the power of the king, he was the lord of the Chi country, and he was the supreme existence in the Chi country. The Lord of the Chi Kingdom looked at the commotion below, frowned, and suddenly thought of Lord Lan's death, and was very unhappy in his heart.
The ministers of the court and the central government quieted down in an instant, and the lord of the Chi country was so powerful that no one knew what he was thinking, and few even dared to speculate about his thoughts.
"Lan Aiqing was tragically poisoned by thieves, and this king is also grief-stricken, but my Chi country is such a big country, how can it be a mess because of the death of a minister! No one mentions how to eradicate the bandits, no one can say how to stop the further scourge of the famine, and no one can think of the soldiers and horses that are about to move in the Ning Kingdom! Tell me, what is your use?" The Lord of the Chi Kingdom showed a distressed expression, he carefully looked at each minister, this sentence was not his angry words, but a helpless discovery he had made in the past few years - except for Lord Lan, no one was available.
"The king is angry, the king is angry!"
"It's really Lord Lan's esteemed status in my Chi country, and his death has touched the hearts of each of us, please see it!"
"That's right, that's what Lord Fang said. And I heard what Mr. Shi said, an immortal master was born, I am waiting for a mess, please Your Majesty to investigate!"
......
"That's enough, let me ask you, where is the immortal master?" asked the lord of the country of Chi to Mr. Shi, after all, he could only hear the name of the legendary immortal master, and he had never seen the real immortal master born.
Mr. Shi buried his head lower, he didn't dare to look directly at the lord of the Chi country, "The immortal master went to the humble mansion, and asked the king to move!"
"Hmm? In the territory of the Chi Kingdom, this king still has to go down to meet others? What the two immortal masters really said is that it is impossible for this king to go to see them!?" The words of the lord of the Chi country were a little dissatisfied, he was the lord of a country, in his thoughts, how could he be inferior in his life?
"The king is angry, the immortal master is different from ordinary people, besides, my country has asked for them, and the humble position has also persuaded them to come to meet the king, but the two of them insist on refusing, and the humble position can only come to return to the king! Please consider it!" Mr. Shi's thinking is clear, although what he is planning now is definitely a big crime of rebellion and rebellion for Chi Guo, and his head may fall to the ground at any time, but he must stabilize his mentality and not show anything unusual in front of the lord of Chi Guo.
On the way back to Tiandu City, Mr. Shi carefully weighed the pros and cons, he didn't think about backwater, and directly told the lord what happened in the Great Master's Mansion to the lord of the country, and used the army to strangle Shen Qi and He Qi. But then Mr. Shi still gave up, or rather, he was frightened by the ability that Shen Qier and the others showed along the way. He knew that if the two of them tried to kill him, he would not have the slightest chance of escaping.
"That's it......" The lord of the country of Chi fell into deep thought, Mr. Shi quickly came back to his senses, no one saw him, his back was already wet with cold sweat.
The lord of the Chi Kingdom was silent for a long time, and during this time, there was no sound in the court.
I saw that the lord of the country of Chi was holding one hand on the dragon chair and the other hand supporting his chin, he hadn't thought about a question like this for a long time. In the past, when Lord Lan was there, in this case, he could often come up with some countermeasures at the first time, either orthodox or more evil, but they were enough to solve the problem perfectly;
"Then, come and visit the Immortal Master tomorrow!" The Lord of the Chi Kingdom had some bitterness in his eyebrows, again, he couldn't find a way to not only maintain his status as the Son of Heaven without losing his majesty, but also to let those Immortal Masters contribute to solving the famine. So, after thinking for a while, the lord of the country of Chi still chose to compromise.
Hearing this, Mr. Shi felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and shouted in his mouth, "The king is wise!"
The lord of the country of Chi is a standard national character face, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "What do you think of Aiqing?", no one can see clearly, whether this kind of laugh is self-deprecating or happy.
The ministers below, you look at me, I look at you, and hurriedly shouted, "The king is wise!"
The lord of the country raised his head and looked at the ministers below, and there was a deep sense of powerlessness.
......
The next day, Mr. Shi's house.
There is a pavilion in the center of the mansion, in which two people are sitting opposite each other, and tea is boiling on their sides, which is Shen Qi and He Wen, who came back with Mr. Shi not long ago.
"I didn't expect you to be young, but your understanding of tea is quite accomplished!" He Wen couldn't help but sigh as he watched the young man in front of him make tea in one go.
Shen Qi's figure paused slightly, "Because at that time, they would only praise me when I made tea for the villagers, and then I began to notice the exquisiteness of making tea." I am different from other children in the village, I was picked up by the villagers from outside the village, I grew up eating food from each of their families, so to speak, each of them can be said to be my parents. However, the technology of this tea is still there, but they are gone!"
"Alas, I'm sorry, I reminded you of those unpleasant past events again" He Wen sighed lightly, and couldn't help but comfort, "I think, I hope that on the road to revenge, you don't live too tired, after all, your lost relatives will also want you to be happy." ”
"I know, but how can you make it easy to put on yourself? You must feel this very deeply, right?"
......
The two fell into a strange silence, each of them was reminiscing about the past, and at the same time subconsciously looking forward to the future.
"Don't think about these things now, according to the time, the Lord of the Chi Kingdom is already on his way to the mansion, are you planning to kill him, or?" He Wen was very curious about what Shen Qi in front of him would do? After all, he had very little mercy for the common people in the world, in his opinion, this was just a deal, a deal that could make him return to the place that haunted him.
Shen Qi stared deeply at He Wen's eyes, and sure enough, as he thought, whether the legendary red-pupiled person was weak or strong, except for the people he cared about, he often regarded the common people as ants. After all, it is rumored that every red-eyed person appears because of the great sin and great slaughter in heaven and earth.
He Wen looked at Shen Qi's somewhat strange eyes in front of him, his old face couldn't help but look a little unnatural, he smiled, "Don't worry, I won't interfere with your decision, I don't value these." ”
He Wen pinned his face to the side, the immortal cultivation world where he was located had a fault since ancient times, and there was no record of the red pupil, he didn't know that Shen Qi in front of him knew the red pupil better than himself.
"It all depends on his own choice whether to kill or not, if he can cooperate with me well and let me transform his dynasty, then naturally there is no need to kill, I am not a murderer, and I don't like to kill, not to mention that he is an unarmed mortal. Shen Qi drank the remaining tea in the cup in one gulp.
"Tea is meant to be tasted slowly, and it's not a good thing to drink it in one sip. He Wen chuckled, watching Shen Qi's movements, he picked up the kettle next to him and poured it towards Shen Qi's cup.
"Of course, I know this, but if you don't drink it faster, the water in the pot will be cold, so it's better to drink a cup of tea. Shen Qi touched the spout of the pot, "The water temperature at this time is just right, do you want to taste it?"
"In that case, the contemptible man should take a good look!" He Wen laughed.
......
The lord of Chi looked at the familiar street in front of him, but he was a little unfamiliar and dilapidated, and he was very emotional in his heart. He didn't choose to take the dragon chariot, he knew that since he had already visited as an inferior person, he couldn't have a trace of arrogance.
"Mr. Shi, all the scholars in the world are going to revere you to the status of the most holy person, it is conceivable that Mr. Shi has real talent and learning. He looked at Mr. Shi, whose spine was slightly bent because of reading, and asked, "You tell the truth to this king, if this famine cannot be solved in a short time, will this king's country be gone? Rest assured and boldly say that this king will not blame you. ”
"Yes!" Mr. Shi turned his head and looked at the Lord of the Chi Country in front of him, this was the only time he had looked directly at the Lord of the Chi Country since he returned from the mansion of the Great Master.
"Alas, let's go, let's go, don't let the immortal master wait for a long time!" The Lord of the State of Chi looked at the face close in front of him, he saw Mr. Shi's sincere eyes, a long time ago, he was entrusted with a heavy task because he admired Mr. Shi's daring to criticize the court.
"Did the immortal master say how he wanted to treat my Chi country, on the way back to the court, did Mr. Shi ever hear a little bit?" Mr. Shi's residence in the eyes of the lord of the Chi country has become more and more obvious, as the lord of a country, he suddenly felt a little nervous at this time, since the first king left, he experienced this feeling again for the first time.
......
"The person we are waiting for has arrived. He Wenruo, who was in the pavilion, felt something, his eyes glanced in the direction of the door, although he couldn't see the gate of the mansion, but he was very sure that the lord of the Chi country had arrived at the door.
Shen Qi also turned his gaze in the direction of the door, and he muttered to himself, "It all depends on his own choice, I don't know what way he will choose?"
