Chapter Sixty-Nine: Be Suspicious, Be Secretly on Guard
"I have a clear understanding of your opinions, and they are more in line with the judgment of the conventional situation. Li Leng took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "But you have been negligent, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is not dead, and he is the one who really calls the shots in this Han Empire." In other words, if Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty does not summon us for a day, the alliance between the Han and Tang dynasties will not be finalized for a day, even if the crown prince Liu Yi will eventually inherit the unification and become the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty. ”
Shen Hao was stunned for a moment, pondered for a while, and said: "Your Highness, are you saying that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deliberately asked the crown prince to invite us to participate, in order to find out the details and final attitude of our alliance in the Han and Tang Dynasties?"
Li Leng said: "Yes, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has not summoned us for a long time, on the one hand, it should be related to the envoys of Great Qin and Ming, and on the other hand, it is likely that the conditions for forming an alliance are very harsh, and he doesn't know what the final bottom line of our Great Tang is." It was in this way that he asked the prince to invite us to take the opportunity to test our attitude. ”
Cai Xiang was a little puzzled and asked, "What harsh conditions will Emperor Wu of Han put forward? Let him take such a hard time to probe our bottom line and attitude." ”
Shen Hao said: "Cut the land and form an alliance." ”
"What?" Cai Xiang said angrily, "Are they a vassal state of our Tang Dynasty? ”
"Your Highness, the minister thinks this is our guess, as long as the big man doesn't show such a hole card, we should go to this party. Shen Hao couldn't make up his mind in his heart, and after thinking about it again, he still felt that it was appropriate to go to the meeting.
Cai Xiang said: "The minister seconded the proposal. ”
Li sneered, the two of them still had illusions in their hearts, but he knew that at this party, Dahan would definitely put forward such excessive conditions, so that Datang would not be able to come to the table on the spot.
The best way is to ignore the invitation of the big man and wait and see.
However, Li Leng didn't want to hurt the confidence of the two too much, and said with a smile: "It's okay, just participate, and by the way, we will be strict with our attitude and bottom line." Master Cai, go and prepare a proper gift. The first time we visited, if we were empty-handed, it would seem rude to us. ”
"Haha......" Shen Hao and Cai Xiang laughed at the same time, Cai Xiang bowed and saluted, "The minister will go and prepare immediately." ”
......
At the end of the day, Bao Wei did not return to the hotel, nor did he send anyone to report the investigation.
Dinner was delivered in simple and traditional fashion. Originally, there was a maid to send it, but on Li Leng's side, Jian Fan insisted on sending it by him.
"The subordinate is simple, see Your Highness. Jian Fan brought a sumptuous dinner, knelt on the ground and said respectfully.
Li Leng was looking at the information of the Han Empire, and when he heard Jian Fan's voice, he glanced up at him, and said nonchalantly: "Get up!"
"Your Highness. Jian Fan groveled, carefully placed the dishes and chopsticks, and said to Li Leng, "Your Highness, please eat." ”
"Hmm!" Li Leng replied, put down the paperwork, and ate dinner.
Jian Fan waited carefully on the side, secretly observing Li Leng's mood, and seeing that Li Leng was in a good mood, he pretended to be casual and asked: "Your Highness, Director Bao hasn't been back to the hotel for a day, could it be that His Highness has sent a task to Director Bao?"
Li Leng put down his chopsticks, leaned back on the chair slightly, raised his head, a pair of cold and piercing eyes stared coldly at Jian Fan, the powerful coercion was released little by little, and the air suddenly solidified and became depressed.
Rumble!
Jian Fan's body shook violently, feeling the incomparably murderous aura on Li Leng's body, the fear in his heart was like a volcanic eruption, the cold sweat on his forehead kept dripping down, and his face suddenly turned as pale as white paper.
He committed Li Leng's taboo.
Poof!
Jian Fan knelt down in fright, and said in horror: "Your ...... Down, forgive, spare life, the subordinate knows that he is wrong, and he should not inquire about the matter of the head of the bag. ”
Li Leng didn't speak, and a pair of cold eyes stared at Jian Fan fiercely. This oppressive atmosphere made Jian Fan even more frightened and trembling, not knowing what Li Leng would do with him next.
You must know that Li Leng is the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, representing the supreme power of the Tang Dynasty and can decide the life and death of the subjects of the Tang Dynasty. He really wanted to make Li Leng angry, Li Leng killing him was just an order, and no one, even the master behind him, could save him.
"Temple...... Your Highness, I ...... I know wrong. Jian Fan's frightened words were incoherent, cold sweat continued, and the fear in his heart was going to torture him crazy.
After half a day, Li Leng slowly withdrew his sharp eyes, picked up the chopsticks and ate dinner unhurriedly, directly ignoring Jian Fan, who was kneeling below.
Jian Fan knelt down in a panic, Li Leng didn't wake him up, and he didn't take any measures to deal with him, this kind of silent torture made people even more frightened and uneasy.
After a while, Jian Fan's clothes were soaked with cold sweat, and the cold wind blew on his back, which made him even more scared and uncomfortable.
After putting down the chopsticks and ordering the palace maid to clean up, his cold gaze fell on Jian Fan's body again, and Sen Ran said: "If you break the rules in the future, you will not be forgiven if you ask about things." ”
"Yes, yes, the subordinates don't dare, the subordinates don't dare. Jian Fan was so frightened that he kowtowed repeatedly, and blood came out of his forehead.
"Get out of here! I don't have to be responsible for my daily life from now on. After Li Leng finished speaking, he waved his hand to let Jian Fan get out immediately.
As soon as Jian Fan got out of the yard, his legs were weak, and he sat directly on the ground and gasped for breath, and it took most of the day to come back to his senses slightly.
"This ...... His Royal Highness the Ten Princes...... Why is it so scary!? and ...... Affection with them...... It doesn't match!" Jian Fan was still in a cold sweat, recalling that Li Leng's joy and anger were invisible, and he couldn't see through his thoughts and methods at all.
This kind of person is often the most terrible person.
After Jian Fan regained a little strength, he turned around and walked to a dark corner of the hall, summoned a confidant, and said softly: "Immediately notify the Lord of the Hanging Mirror, just say that Bao Wei is secretly investigating something, let them be careful." ”
"Yes, sir. A figure flashed in the darkness, left the pavilion, and flew towards the north side of Luoyang City.
There, it was the headquarters of the Han Dynasty's Hanging Mirror Division.
The next day, Cai Xiang prepared all the gifts, Li Leng didn't bring too many people, except for Cai Xiang, Shen Hao, Shangguan Yun and Zhou Wen, he brought two guards.
......
The Han River, also called the Han River. It is a river that is wider than the sea and more majestic than the sea.
If it is in the flood season, the waves of the Han River are more than ten zhang high, and they are wave after wave, and the highest point of the wave is up to 100 zhang, which can instantly submerge the entire Luoyang City.
Every year when the flood season arrives, the defense crystallization of Luoyang City will be activated. At this time, Luoyang City was completely sunk in the Han River. The transparent defense crystals can even see the fierce brute beasts of the Han River swimming around, and occasionally some brute beasts attack the defense crystals of Luoyang City without knowing how powerful, and they will be swallowed up by the defense crystals in an instant.
