Chapter 88: Dialogue for Peace
Seeing that the other party was silent for a long time, King Yue asked, "May I ask your Excellency's honorable name, can you find a place to sit down and talk to this king in detail?"
Zhiming came back to his senses and said: "In Xia Lei Zhiming, the first nobleman, if there is any offense, please bear with me!"
King Yue waved his hand and said, "Lei Daxia is serious. As I have just asked, you have not harmed the lives of my people, and from this point of view, you have no ill will towards your own people. ... Why don't we sit down and talk?"
"Good. Today, if you are fortunate enough to meet the leader of the nobility, it is not worth the trip. Zhiming clenched his fists and said.
King Yue took Zhiming to the main tent and sat down, and asked, "Forgive this king for being blunt, who are you?"
Zhiming thought for a while and thought that the other party could be trusted, so he said, "Actually, like Wu Tianhu and them, they are all divine humans from the divine realm, and after coming to the human world, our bodies have also become ordinary human bodies. I have a hostile relationship with the White Tigers, and I was sent by the King of the Divine Realm to destroy them. The White Tigers are an extremely dangerous organization that must not be allowed to survive. My friend is an ordinary person, a member of the Heavenly Valley Sect, and he doesn't know my true identity. We are all entrusted by others to come here. ”
When he heard that the other party was a god and human, King Yue was not particularly surprised, he knew early on that there were many things in the world that human beings could not recognize.
Thinking of Yang Ji, Zhiming suddenly said urgently: "You have to save him quickly, otherwise he will really die!"
"Don't worry, I've arranged it. The king said to the people outside the tent, "Go and see if Dabu is here?"
The guards hurriedly ran at the speed of a 100-meter sprint to urge people.
The miracle doctor Dabu arrived quickly, he was an old man with many years of experience in treating diseases and saving people, although he was skinny, but his mind was "full", and his knowledge and wisdom were full of it. His fame spreads all over the village and even the entire Yue people, and has the reputation of "wonderful hand rejuvenation" and "wisdom and many stars". Xiao Qiao once suffered from head wind, and he was cured by him, and he was cured in less than two days. King Yue valued him very much and let him stay by his side for a long time. He is the lucky star of the Yue people.
Zhiming, Yue Wang, and Dabu came to Yang Ji's bedside. Yang Ji is still in a deep coma.
Dabu checked the injury, checked the pulse, frowned and said, "The pulse is very messy, it is indeed not lightly injured, and if it is not treated in time, it will die." ”
He asked someone to bring a basin of hot water, put a hot towel on Yang Ji's forehead, and said, "The weather has been very cold recently, so I have to let him ensure the smooth flow of blood in his brain and keep him conscious." ”
Zhiming asked, "Is his life in danger?"
Dabb shook his head and said, "At the moment, it's hard to predict. However, he is a martial arts practitioner, and his vitality will be more tenacious than that of ordinary people. ”
"How are you going to save him?"
"I wanted to stop his bleeding with acupuncture first, and then use ointment to help him apply the wound. Fortunately, it didn't hurt the vital point, otherwise it would have been troublesome. Dabb said in a more professional tone.
"Trouble you must do everything you can to save him, uncle!" Zhiming was anxious.
"Don't worry, even if you don't say it, I'll do my best. Dabu nodded and went out to get the medical kit.
Zhiming still didn't worry about Yang Ji. King Yue understood his thoughts and said, "Your friend will be fine, Dabu is the divine doctor of his own clan, he has never missed a hand, and he will not harm him, you can rest assured." I can guarantee it. ”
Zhiming nodded, believing the other party. King Yue led him to another tent. The tent was lit with oil lamps and was simply furnished, with only a weapon rack, a coat rack, a wooden table, and four stools.
The two sat facing each other, and the soldier brought tea. King Yue said: "This is the homemade tea of the tribe, called 'Shanyao', although the taste is bitter, but it can cleanse the intestines and nourish the stomach, Lei Daxia can try it." ”
Zhiming tasted it and said, "It's indeed a little bitter, but it's bitter and sweet, and it has a different taste." ”
King Yue asked, "I don't know what the tea in the divine realm tastes like?"
Zhiming smiled: "I was sent to the world as soon as I was born, and I didn't know if there was tea in the divine realm. ”
"Could it be that Lei Daxia has never been in the God Realm?"
"That's right, I came to the world with a great mission as soon as I was born, and I never went back, and I know very little about the things of the divine realm. In fact, compared to the human world, the divine realm is just another world. ”
King Yue sighed: "It seems that I am still a frog at the bottom of a well." ”
Zhiming waved his hand and said: "No, the king is well-informed and extraordinary, which can be seen from the king's gestures and conversations. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the king to sit on the Yue people's country. ”
King Yue shook his head and said: "It's a pity that the future of the Yue tribe is bleak, I can't pave the way of peace for my clan, so I can only let it struggle to survive in the war." ”
"I can understand the king's thoughts. As the head of the clan, the king must hope that his clan can be revitalized and strong. However, times often do not go the way we expected. In my opinion, the first thing the nobles should do is to identify friend and foe. My enemy is not you, and I do not wish to be the enemy of the nobility, but my real enemy is the White Tigers. For the nobles, the king should not position the state of Wu as an enemy, after all, everyone is in Jiangdong, and they should coexist peacefully. ”
King Yue let out a long sigh and said while adding tea to him: "Lei Daxia has already expressed his attitude of not wanting to be an enemy of my clan before, and I also understand. It's just that our clan is really forced to be an enemy of the Wu State. In fact, in addition to the Wu Kingdom, our clan also has a real enemy, that is, the Nine Unitary Sect, I don't know if the heroes have heard of it. ”
"I know that the Nine Unitary Sect is also an enemy of the Tiangu Sect. As the saying goes, 'Enemy of enemy is friend of friend'. In this way, the Tiangu Sect and the nobles are friends. In fact, the purpose of our coming here is to let Xiao Qiao return to Zhou Yu's side, and let the crystal ball return to Zhao. The crystal ball has superpowers, and it has flown back to the Wu Palace with Xiao Qiao just now. ”
King Yue was disappointed. Although he had just sent someone to confirm the matter, it was still difficult to accept it when he heard others mention it again. After all, Xiao Qiao has been by his side for a year, and he feels very unaccustomed to leaving like this, but he can only accept the reality, the crystal ball is nothing, but he can't believe that it has such divine power.
"I'm sorry, my friend injured your man, he was only in self-defense, not hostile. Zhiming apologized for Yang Ji.
King Yue was so worried at the moment that his brain was seriously overloaded, so he had to say: "It's nothing, since the matter is settled, let it pass." ”
"The king should realize that it was wrong to kidnap Xiao Qiao, right? Not to mention that she is Zhou Yu's wife, even if she is an ordinary woman, she should not be robbed. ”
King Yue nodded yes and said, "It was I who was not strict with my subordinates and caused them to be emboldened to commit such crimes. However, they didn't know Xiao Qiao's identity at the time, and if they knew, they probably wouldn't dare to make a mistake. Either way, it's mostly my responsibility. ”
Seeing that this leader was so reasonable, Zhiming said: "In fact, the matter of Xiao Qiao and the crystal ball has nothing to do with the king, even if it is a sneak attack on the grain cart and the killing of the soldiers of the Wu State, it is all the nobles who have to do it as a last resort in order to survive, after all, the current Wu State still can't accommodate the nobles." ”
King Yue was moved by him, clenched his fists and said, "Thank you Lei Daxia for your understanding and consideration of our clan!"
Zhiming waved his hand and said: "The king's words are serious, but in fact, people are sometimes in the midst of it, and they are indeed in a dilemma! It is really not an easy task to be the leader of a state or nation. ”
King Yue sighed and said, "I really don't know how long the Wu-Yue dispute will last! Actually, we don't want to kill people, but our settlement is in the mountains and forests, which is not suitable for growing crops, and the Wu people have cut off all trade with our people in recent years, and they have blocked us in the mountains. In fact, I also understand that everyone was born and raised by their parents, and they all have the right to live. ”
"The king is right when he says that in this war age, many things can only be obtained by bloodshed and sacrifice. And ......" Zhiming told him about Lu Ji's imprisonment again.
King Yue remembered that Tongge had gone to the Wu Palace to inquire about the news, but it was inconvenient to tell him, so he smiled bitterly: "Lu Ji is loyal to his own clan, but I didn't expect to suffer this crime! I let him infiltrate the Wu Kingdom at the beginning, but I didn't expect his identity to be exposed because of a crystal ball." Without the information he provided, we really don't know where our food sources are!"
Seeing that the time was ripe, Zhiming showdown said: "I can't hide it, I am Liu Bei's subordinate, and this time, together with our army's Kong Ming military division, I went to Wu Palace to lobby Sun Quan, hoping to reach a consensus on the joint resistance of the two armies against Cao." Yang Ji and I came here to steal the ball and save people, also to help Wu Guo and prompt Sun Quan to help our army fight against Cao. Cao Cao's confidants were our lord Liu Bei and Wu lord Sun Quan, who had been hunted down and killed by him many times, and had no choice but to flee to Jiangdong to seek a way of cooperation with Wu; Cao Cao wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to wipe out our lord and Sun Quan! In this way, he could rest easy, no one dared to stop his hegemony, and he could take advantage of the victory to march into Xichuan and Hanzhong, and take over the Han Dynasty. The current Son of Heaven is essentially his puppet and has no real power. ”
"Well, I understand all of that. I have always respected Uncle Liu and admired his way of life. It turns out that Lei Daxia is Uncle Liu's person, I really can't see it. "King Yue is also a person who understands politics, "Does Uncle Liu Huang know your true identity?"
"At present, except for the White Tiger Team, almost no one in the world knows that I am a god and human, and I only told the king about you. There is another thing, I don't know if the king has heard of it. ”
"I want to hear about it. ”
"Although the White Tigers are under Cao Cao's command, their real purpose is to use Cao Cao's hands to eliminate the heroes, and then destroy Cao Cao. ”
"No wonder I felt something was wrong with the tone of their voices, I see. "King Yue is not surprised, he has noticed it before.
"They sent people to the nobles, hoping to use the hands of the nobles to contain the Wu army and let the Cao army win. For them, the aristocracy was just a pawn that enabled them to rule the world earlier. Although there is a cooperative relationship, the White Tigers will never tell you these things, so as not to cause trouble. They are actually taking advantage of you, and there is no guarantee that they will not cross the river and tear down the bridges and act against the nobles. ”
“......”
"I believe the White Tigers have also made their intentions clear, right? They just want to use you to drag the Wu army back and make a promise to help you eradicate the Nine Unitary Sect, right?"
“... Yes, that's exactly what they say. ”
"And the reason why you easily agreed to them is because it was your will to deal with Wu Jun, even if they don't help you, you will take action, it is better to let them intervene to make the situation more favorable, at least you can reduce the manpower and material resources to deal with the Nine You Sect, right?"
King Yue had to nod. Indeed, even if the White Tigers don't help them, they will take the initiative to stir up trouble and disrupt their old enemies, and since someone has taken the initiative to help, it will be better.
Based on this principle, you agree to help them, in essence, you are helping yourself. However, did the king think about the consequences, and what if they broke their promise and wiped out the nobles?"
“......”
"I know that the aristocratic masters are like a forest, but most of the White Tigers are gods and humans, and general-level figures like Wu Tianhu have super weapons like the Sky Killing Sword. How will the nobles resist these weapons?"
“......”
"After Cao Cao conquered the state of Wu, in order to consolidate his power in Jiangnan, he would definitely strike hard at the Yue people, not the Jiuyou Sect or the Tiangu Sect. So I don't think it's possible for the White Tigers to help you fulfill your long-cherished wishes. In order to avoid future troubles, they would uproot and purge the nobles after the war. ”
“......”
"If the king doesn't believe it, I have another side of evidence, which is the escape of the gray-faced tiger. Because he had a premonition that I would reconcile with the king, and the king would tell me that he was here, and that in order to escape from my pursuit, he had to take a step back and take the best step. Just imagine, if the White Tiger Team is sincere in helping the nobles, then when I fought with Wu Tianhu just now, he should have thought of this: if I win, there is a possibility that the next step will be to threaten the king, and as the king's 'ally', he actually stood by and watched, and even his own companions were unwilling to help? If he joined forces with Wu Tianhu, I might not be able to win. There is only one reason: the gray-faced tiger has been instructed by someone in advance not to make unnecessary sacrifices, but to preserve strength. ”
After thinking about it, King Yue felt that there was a certain amount of truth.
"In that case, there is no need for the king to cooperate with the White Tigers. In fact, the real enemy of the nobility was the Wei State, not the Wu State. ...... So, if I say that I now implore the king to give up the idea of fighting against the state of Wu, I don't know what the king wants?"
King Yue was stunned. Zhiming said word by word: "That's right, I hope that the king can help us not to create trouble during the war, so that the Wu army can fight this battle well; ”
King Yue stopped talking, after all, Wu Yue had already formed a grudge with him for many years, and it was not something that could be reconciled for a while, and it seemed difficult for him to agree to this request at once. However, he also knew that he had no choice, because the other party would only communicate in such a peaceful way out of respect for himself, even if the other party waved his sword lightly, he would fall to the ground. King Yue fell into a speechless dilemma for a while.
