Chapter 327: Coercion
Lu Yunzhou is the envoy, and only he has the right to make decisions when it comes to the mission, so everyone in the hall looks at Lu Yunzhou.
Among them, Gongziman's eyes were the brightest, and he seemed to be very curious about everything about Lu Yunzhou.
Under the gaze of everyone, Lu Yunzhou smiled slightly, got up and saluted without humility or arrogance: "Thank you for your generous gift, come and don't be rude, the minister also has a gift to give back to your lord!"
Wei Jun's eyes flashed with surprise, but there was no move on his face, and he said with a smile: "The envoy of Qi is really too polite, how can he be loved by the envoy of the kingdom, and he specially bothered to prepare a generous gift, and he is really a little flattered!"
Lu Yunzhou stretched out his hand, and under the strange gaze of Xiao Yuetan and others, the giant man Kunhu walked to the center of the side hall with two personal guards, one of whom escorted an assassin captive.
The three captives dodged their eyes and knelt on the floor in the center of the side hall under the push of the three guards.
Qin Qingming's eyes narrowed slightly, and for some reason, seeing such a scene, her mind recalled what Lu Yunzhou had said to her on the boat two days ago:
“...... Miss Qin, she will be able to reach Puyang City, the capital of Wei, in two days, this Wei Jun is so selfish and hateful, do you want to bully him fiercely......"
Qin Qing glanced at Wei Jun above, this person was completely different from what she imagined, the city was extremely deep, very respectful, and there was no appearance of a tyrant on the surface. But just as a barking dog doesn't bite, it's often the smiling tiger who stabs the hardest in the back.
Qin Qing's heart was full of worry, although Wei Guo was weak, everyone was on someone else's territory after all, she didn't know what Lu Yunzhou was going to do, and she couldn't help but worry about whether Lu Yunzhou would be able to get out of the way after "bullying Wei Jun fiercely".
Cheng Song watched the three captives being escorted out, his eyelids jumped, and he began to enter a state of nervous vigilance.
Han Di's eyes were also solemn, and he quietly pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword.
But Xiao Yuetan had an expression that she knew this for a long time, and watched the play with a smile.
Han Fei smiled bitterly and glanced at Lu Yunzhou helplessly.
Gongzi's eyes were smart, the atmosphere in the hall was weird, and everyone's reaction, all of which fell into the eyes of the intelligent and sensitive Gongziman, and he couldn't help but become nervous, put away his inquiring gaze, and looked at Lu Yunzhou with some vigilance.
Lu Yunzhou opened his arms, put his hands together, saluted deeply, and said seriously: "Back to the king, according to our itinerary, we should have arrived in Puyang City two days ago, and the reason why we were delayed for two days was to prepare for this great gift to the king." ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his arms, stretched out his palms, and gestured to the three prisoners kneeling on the ground.
Wei Jun's eyes moved, he had actually noticed the three captives held by the guards a long time ago, but because of the situation and the prestige of the Qi State, he couldn't help but didn't ask much before.
Wei Jun, who has always been excellent at cultivating qi and kung fu, although his heart fluctuated, his face was still peaceful, and he did not show any wrongness, but seemed to be very surprised and asked: "It turns out that these three strong men are gifts? The envoy of Qi has carefully prepared for two days, could it be these three strong men...... What strange skills do you have?"
Lu Yunzhou said with a smile: "Your Excellency is really discerning, most of the people in the world are duplicitous, sweet-hearted, and hypocritical, but these three people are just the opposite, the three of them have a special function, and the world is just the opposite, they will only tell the truth and will not tell lies under any circumstances! If you are interested, you might as well try it yourself!"
Wei Jun was finally a little surprised, he really couldn't figure out Lu Yunzhou's way, he pondered for a moment, moved his gaze to the three captives, and asked, "In this case, let me ask the three strong men, what is your identity?"
This question is very high-level, Wei Jun naturally doesn't believe that Lu Yunzhou really just wants to show him any "truth-telling performance", but since Lu Yunzhou said so, Wei Jun also accepted it, and by asking about the identities of the three people, he openly tested Lu Yunzhou's intentions.
Lu Yunzhou's eyes narrowed slightly, not moved at all, and stood indifferently in place.
Everyone in the mission looked at the three captives kneeling on the ground with some concern.
In full view of everyone, the three captives lay on the floor together and replied in unison: "The villain is the lackey of the king!"
This answer was loud and crisp, startling everyone present.
Qin Qing was stunned for a moment, and then secretly admired Lu Yunzhou in his heart, and sighed that he was so well prepared.
The three captives on the ground claimed to be Wei Jun's lackeys, and in Wei Jun's opinion, he would only think that the three of them had already known that they had been given to Wei Jun as gifts, but in the eyes of the mission, this answer was that the captives confessed in public that they were assassins sent by Wei Jun!
Naturally, these three captives were not sent by Wei Jun, but the dirty water that Tu poured on Wei Jun first.
But Lu Yunzhou is now just going to turn a blind eye and take advantage of the east wind of Tuxian to push the boat down the river!
It's just that Qin Qing still doesn't understand what Lu Yunzhou pushed the boat down the river and splashed dirty water on Wei Jun by the way?
Wei Jun was slightly stunned, in Wei Jun's opinion, most of the three people on the ground were people sent by Qi Guo to supervise him, since they had been given to him, he was the one who answered at the moment, but there was no problem.
As far as Wei Jun was concerned, if the State of Qi sent a few people to supervise him, not only would he not have any opinions, but would raise his hands in favor and happily welcome these three people to supervise him.
Just because Qi has sent people to supervise the defense of the country, it naturally means that the Qi country will not take the initiative to attack the defense of the country, but is a kind of friendship in disguise, which is definitely a great news for the passive and weak country.
As for the case of being supervised, Wei Jun will have no secrets because of this?
Wei Jun didn't care about this, for the monarch of a weak country, what secrets do he need? What he needs most is to live, what he needs is to continue to enjoy glory and wealth in his lifetime, instead of becoming a dead monarch with no backbone and no way to live!
Wei Jun had already accepted these three strong men in his heart, bowed his head slightly, and did not plan to continue to ask, and was about to formally accept these three people, but the son on the side stood up eagerly, and looked at the three strong men on the ground curiously.
Gongziman asked, "The three of you, in addition to telling the truth, what other skills do you have?"
Under Lu Yunzhou's meaningful smile, the three captives replied in unison: "The villain is an assassin, and he can assassinate anyone in this world for the king!"
As soon as these words came out, Gongzi exclaimed, "What did you say?"
Wei Jun was also suddenly startled, in the face of this sudden turn, he seemed to be a little unacceptable for a while, and looked at Lu Yunzhou who was standing with his hands down, with a light breeze.
Gongziman took a step back a little bewildered, and looked at Lu Yunzhou in the same shock.
Wei Jun's face finally changed, and he asked a little nervously, "Qi envoy, is this ...... What the hell is going on?"
Lu Yunzhou showed a very surprised expression on his face, and said in surprise: "Why did the monarch come to ask the foreign ministers? These three people are the lackeys of the monarch, and the foreign ministers are not familiar with them!"
Wei Jun glanced at Lu Yunzhou, who was still very calm, in shock and confusion, and a very bad premonition rose in his heart, and his thoughts also turned quickly, and at this moment he had realized that this matter was not as simple as he imagined.
After thinking about it, Wei Jun reluctantly suppressed the panic in his heart, and forced a smile on his face: "I see, the gift of the Qi envoy is very fond of Lone, so Lone accepted it cheekily!"
As he spoke, he immediately ordered someone to take these three hot potatoes down, trying to stop the development of the matter.
Lu Yunzhou rushed to immediately give up his hand and said: "It's good if the king is satisfied!"
Then he turned to the three captives and reminded, "You three, are you still not grateful?"
The three captives hurriedly lay on the ground and said in unison: "The villain is ashamed, this assassination failed, and he didn't dare to beg for a reward, please punish the villain!"
Wei Jun's face showed an extremely shocked and uneasy expression.
Lu Yunzhou hurriedly arched his hand on the side and said: "Your Excellency, the reason why these three people's assassination operation failed is entirely because of the foreign ministers, who thought that they were loyal to the king, and thought that the king had worked hard to cultivate these assassins, and he couldn't bear it, so he returned them and returned them to their original owners!"
Wei Jun's face turned blue and white for a while, and he reluctantly replied restlessly: "What does the Qi envoy mean by this?
Lu Yunzhou looked at Wei Jun in great surprise, and arched his hand: "The monarch doesn't understand? The monarch sent an assassin to assassinate the foreign minister, and the foreign minister was lucky not to die, can the monarch feel lost?"
As soon as these words came out, Wei Jun's face was suddenly blue and his lips turned white, and Gongzi was shocked and angry: "You are talking nonsense, my father Jun is innocent, why did he send assassins to assassinate you?"
Lu Yunzhou smiled slightly, walked out of his seat, stood on the side of the three captives, and suddenly asked sharply: "Now Wei Jun is in front of you, give me an honest answer, what were you doing on the night two days ago?"
The three captives fell to the ground in panic and replied in unison: "The villain followed Guan Zhongyi to participate in the assassination operation!"
Lu Yunzhou pointed at the three captives and said, "Who are the targets of your assassination?"
One of the captives replied, "Damn the villain, the target of the assassination is none other than the adults of the Emissary Regiment!"
Lu Yunzhou took a step forward and said sharply: "Who instructed you to assassinate this envoy and obstruct this envoy's mission, could it be that the people behind the scenes deliberately despise my great Qi national prestige?"
The three captives trembled and replied in unison, "It was Wei Jun who instructed Guan Zhongyi and me to wait!"
As soon as these words came out, Wei Jun's face suddenly turned white in shock, and he trembled and held on to his seat, almost unable to sit still.
Wei Jun has always been cautious in the face of big countries, how could he ever encounter such a terrible accusation!
The state of Wei Guo is too weak, once the State of Qi really recognizes this accusation, and uses this excuse to send troops to crusade, I am afraid that Wei Guo will fall into the danger of overturning at any time!
Gongzi was shocked and angry, stood up from his seat suddenly, pointed to the captive on the ground, and said: "Bastard, what is the intention of such villains as they dare to talk nonsense and slander my father?"
The three captives hurriedly kowtowed in the direction of Gongziman: "The villain deserves death, he really can't bear the interrogation, he can only tell the truth!"
Gongzi was so anxious that he stomped his feet, his immature little face turned red, and he hurriedly turned to Lu Yunzhou, and tried his best to distinguish it: "Lord Envoy Mingjian, although Zhao Jianzhai is a defender, he has never been solicited by his father, not to mention that he didn't die in the Qi country? Perhaps this action in charge of the evil is just seeking personal revenge! After these assassins were caught, they must have deliberately splashed dirty water on our heads to defend the country!"
Wei Jun hurriedly got up and walked down, saluted with a wry smile: "Lone has always treated your country like a parent, Lone can swear to the sky, he has never sent someone to assassinate the Qi envoy, there must be another conspiracy behind this matter, and please ask the Qi envoy not to believe the villain's slanderous words, but to teach the real mastermind behind the scenes to succeed!"
Seeing Wei Jun walk down, the rest of the delegation also stood up, watching Wei Jun face the accusation, but his attitude was still deferential, it was inevitable that they all admired Wei Jun's patience skills, but at the same time, they were inevitably worried that Lu Yunzhou would force Wei Jun to jump off the wall in a hurry!
No matter how strong the Qi country is, no matter how weak the defending country is, but at this moment, everyone is still on the territory of the defending country, but it is an indisputable fact!
If Wei Jun really felt the crisis of losing his country, he might not take risks in order to protect his country and avoid the news from being transmitted back to Qi State, take the risk of killing people and killing people, and finally find a way to cover it up!
Under everyone's gaze, Lu Yunzhou suddenly smiled, glanced at Wei Jun deeply, and arched his hand: "Don't be nervous, the foreign minister also feels that this matter is quite strange, so let the messenger who sent the news return to the Qi realm first to wait for my instructions, if the foreign minister really fully believed the assassin's confession, he would naturally directly send the news of the assassination back to Linzi to Tian Xiang, why bother to ask the king for verification today?"
Most of the people present were smart people, and the implication of Lu Yunzhou's words was simply too obvious, he pointed out that the messenger was waiting for his order in the Qi Realm, which was simply a naked threat to Wei Jun.
Since the messenger is already on standby in Qi, then Wei Jun not only can't move anyone present, but must curry favor with Lu Yunzhou as much as possible, otherwise once the news is transmitted back to Linzi and in Tian Dan's hands, Tian Dan will not care if you are innocent or not, this is simply a ready-made excuse to send troops!
As soon as these threatening words came out, the atmosphere in the side hall was relaxed.
Although it was a threat, Lu Yunzhou had already provided room for discussion and maneuver in this matter!
Wei Jun let out a long breath, his body shook, he almost couldn't stand steadily, and with the support of Gongziman, he calmed down a little.
Wei Jun is such a smart person, how can he not understand the meaning of Lu Yunzhou's words, at this moment, he quickly bowed deeply to Lu Yunzhou, and said gratefully: "Thank you for the trust of the envoy of Qi, the great kindness of the envoy of Qi to protect my country, and the lonely feeling is within the five, there will be a heavy thanks!"
Gongzi was a little at a loss in the face of the sudden change, and when he saw that his father was saluting, he hurriedly saluted beside him.
