Chapter 9 Willing to Gamble (2nd Watch)
After Yi Shaoran finished speaking, Qingli was slightly stunned.
"The demon clan of the Western Regions has the Classic of Mountains and Seas. ”
"The Central Plains Floating Record. ”
The god of Tsing Yi pointed his toes to the ground and came to the towering and vast city wall.
The figure instantly retreated into extreme silence.
Yi Shaoran stood under the towering high wall, raised his head, the snow was all over the sky, and he exhaled a faint breath.
The beacon fire is in the sky, and the snow is overwhelming.
He said softly: "The demon clan you said is so powerful, but why has it been pressed and beaten by us for so many years......
Yi Shaoran narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he thought of the negotiation on the side of Torrent City now.
I feel emotional.
"If the demon clan really starts a war like this-"
The god of Tsing Yi will slowly squat down, look directly at Qingli, and say word by word: "I promise you." They will ...... Regret it!"
......
......
Torrent City has its back to the Qi River.
Today...... It is the first big day after the Qijiang negotiations in the first year of the Spring and Autumn Period!
In the heart of the Qijiang River, the dragon boat and the sword boat are opposed.
His Majesty in Qiliang Lanling City was ill and did not come in person.
Coincidentally, Cao Zhixuan also shirked this negotiation that should have been discussed by the monarchs of the two countries on the grounds of physical discomfort.
On the dragon boat, Mr. Qi Shu, who had arrived from Lanling City, was dressed in old light clothes and looked at the young man on the sword boat with some disappointment.
Qi Shu specially changed this outfit, but he sincerely hoped that he could be his future enemy in this negotiation.
Behind Qi Shu is the head of the Seven Families.
Behind the young man on the sword boat was the head of the Zhong family.
Qi Shu bowed seriously.
Chen Wanjuan also stood up and returned the salute seriously.
"I thought that it would be Jiang Qingyi from Xiguan who would stand on the sword boat. Qi Shu smiled, there was no contempt in his words, and said sincerely: "It's a pity that I want to see him." ”
Chen Wanjuan also smiled: "I thought that the dragon boat would be Qi Liang's Xiao Buyi. ”
The only son of the Northern Wei Dynasty champion Hou was generous: "I also want to see His Royal Highness and talk about the past." This is probably the only chance I can think of to sit down and not have to do it. ”
"Yes. Qi Shu smiled: "It's rare." ”
Chen Wanjuan lowered his eyebrows, "Mr. Qi should know that the demon clan has begun to accumulate demons and is preparing for the Northern Expedition." His Majesty specially drafted a letter and sent it to Lanling City, and there was today's negotiation. ”
Qi Shu hummed softly.
It seems that the two of them are tacit. Chen Wanjuan chuckled: "Chen Wanjuan is honored to participate in this negotiation for the Northern Wei Dynasty. In fact, you and I know very well that the so-called negotiation will not take long for the first thing, and the second thing will ...... Chen wanted to see Mr. Qi's bearing. ”
Qi Shu smiled and did not respond.
Chen Wanjuan said with a straight face: "The dispute between the north and the south should be delayed. ”
Qi Shu stood on top of the huge dragon ship, as if he had been waiting for this sentence.
His voice was not loud, and it fell on the Qijiang River, and it could be heard everywhere: "Yes." ”
Chen Wanjuan raised his head and looked at Qi Shu.
"Second thing. ”
"If the demon clan carries the Book of Mountains and Seas to attack the city, the Xiguan barrier can't bear it, and the Fengsui Great Wall can't bear it. ”
Chen Wanjuan took a deep breath.
He came here to reach a certain consensus with Qi Shu.
It can also be regarded as the consensus reached between Qi Liang and the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Speaking of this, he looked at Qi Shu and saw that the young strategist of Lanling City was slowly nodding.
"That kind of thing, if you don't use it, then Qi Liang and Northern Wei are fighting luck. Chen Wanjuan narrowed his eyes and said word by word: "Then it's a gamble, betting on whether the demon clan will break the fortress or attack the city." The Northern Wei Dynasty didn't want to cause trouble with the demon clan, and Qi Liang shouldn't want to. ”
Qi Shu was still nodding.
Chen Wanjuan said in a deep voice: "The demon clan has 10,000 reasons to break the fortress, and there are also 10,000 possibilities to attack the city. Now that everyone's ears and eyes in the Western Regions have lost their voices, no one knows if this lord of the Western Regions will lose his heart and go crazy to break through the Western Barrier, just to vent the anti-bone hatred of Fengting City, or fight with the full strength of the demon clan to break through the beacon and go to ......"
"I want to ......" Chen Wanjuan said this, and slowly lowered his voice: "The causal entanglement between the West Demon and the Overlord of Western Chu, it is impossible for Mr. Qi not to know, right?"
Qi Shu smiled and continued to nod.
Chen Wanjuan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
He looked at the Confucian on the dragon boat, who was about the same age as himself, and said seriously: "So I want to ......"
"Don't think about it. ”
Qi Shu, who had been nodding his head on the dragon boat, shook his head at this moment.
There was still not the slightest contempt on his face, but he kept a humble and peaceful smile all the time.
Qi Shu chuckled under his breath, laughing like an elegant madman.
He put his hands on the dragon boat and looked at Chen Wanjuan, who was in a slightly stunned state.
"Well, the invitation of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Qi Liang gave a lot of face, today's negotiation, Qi Liang has also been discussed, and the matter of the dispute between the north and the south must also be decided. Qi Shu can say with certainty that Lanling City will not take the initiative to cause trouble, and hopes that the one in Luoyang of the Northern Wei Dynasty can also do it. ”
Then he said gently: "Qi Liang won't use that kind of thing, and don't think about using it in the Northern Wei Dynasty." ”
Qi Shu said without provocation: "Qi Liang just wants to gamble." ”
"Bet on whether the Western Regions will go south or the Northern Expedition. ”
Chen Wanjuan looked at the "Mr. Qi" on the dragon boat and raised his hand, the huge dragon boat began to turn around, and the young Confucian student who participated in the negotiation whispered sleepy, and then the calm and hateful voice sounded above the Qi River: "Qi Liang is willing to gamble, Northern Wei Dynasty...... I don't have a choice. ”
Chen Wanjuan was pressed on the shoulder by the Zhong family man beside him.
Zhong Yusheng said lazily: "What that 'Mr. Qi' said is not bad. If you make a move, according to his gambler nature, the two sides of the strait will simply start fighting, and when the time comes, whoever the demon clan fights, who will not be just a pain in the flesh like now, but a real break of the scalp and a flank on both sides. ”
Chen Wanjuan gritted his teeth.
Is it difficult to achieve and wait for yourself to bring up the first point first?
The muffled voice ate a dumb loss.
He tried his best along the way, calculated countless pictures, and thought about how to gain the upper hand in the second negotiation, and move that thing to the Northern Wei Dynasty, if the demon clan came to attack, the Northern Wei Dynasty could defend it safely, if the demon clan went south, the Northern Wei Dynasty sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, if the situation allowed, tear the skin, Qi Liang Xixia ate everything, it is not impossible to do.
Zhong Yusheng said softly: "Look at the point, Your Majesty has long known that there will be such a situation. Qi Shu of Lanling City is not a fool, if he agrees to such a thing, it will be a real headache at that time, and he will give the benefits to the Northern Wei Dynasty in a good manner? If Qi Liang leaves his back to the Northern Wei Dynasty one day, and sends the hilt of the sword to you, do you dare to hold it?"
Chen Wanjuan took a deep breath and calmed his emotions.
Zhong Yusheng remained silent and looked at the back of the dragon boat in the distance.
"Qi Liang is willing to gamble, and the Northern Wei Dynasty has no choice, so they want to go to the gambling table together. ”
"Qi Shu is a man of great courage. He laughed, "But...... There is one more sentence. "If you are willing to gamble, you have to admit defeat." ”
