Chapter 19 Marriage and Alliance

Seeing the formation, Qian Xiaoxing knew that Shi Yao was just trying to scare him, otherwise he would not have surrounded him and stopped attacking. He sneered: "I am a bad life. It is really worth it to exchange my life with Commander Shi's value."

After Shi Yao returned, he found the imperial physician to take his pulse. The imperial physician actually said that the qi and blood in his body were really stimulated, which was different from ordinary people. Shi Yao was indeed skeptical when he heard it. In fact, this medicine is Yunbaiyao equipped by Si Jun. In addition to applying it externally, Yunbaiyao can also be taken internally to speed up the circulation of qi and blood, so that the injury can recover faster. Therefore, the heat in the body and the qi and blood squirting out of the body are a natural reaction.

Seeing that Qian Xiaoxing was not threatened, Shi Yao was immediately unable to get rid of the tiger. It was neither too much nor too much to catch him. He was hesitating and heard someone shouting, "Stop it all!"

Lin Yilong stood at the entrance of the hotel and shouted, "Shi Yao, you are getting too far. Do you know who they are? They are the envoys of the State of Si. The old saying goes, the two armies will not kill the envoys when they fight. Now Lin and Si have major events that need to be negotiated. Do you want to provoke the relationship between the two countries? Do you ignore the lives of the nine thousand cavalry?"

Lin Yilong's identity plays a great role in Lin Guo, and even King Lin wants to give him some face. Seeing that Lin Yilong intervened, Shi Yao wanted to take action but was embarrassed, so he had to shout, "That man, what did he eat for me? I will die in nine days. I still care about so much!"

Lin Yilong turned around and asked Qian Xiaoxing, "Brother Qian, what's going on?"

Qian Xiaoxing replied: "I am on Lin Country's territory, and Shi Yao is the commander of the Imperial Guard, so I am afraid that he will find someone to retaliate, so I have to feed him this chronic poison. But Brother Lin, don't worry, I can guarantee that I will relieve him of this poison before we leave Qidu."

After hearing this, Lin Yilong turned around and said to Shi Yao: "He promised me that when they left Qidu, they would definitely detoxify you. If you continue to make trouble like this, you will only suffer both sides. You go back first, and I promise to give you the antidote."

Seeing that there was no benefit in continuing the trouble, Shi Yao turned around helplessly and took away a thousand soldiers. Before leaving, he said to Qian Xiaoxing: "If you don't give the antidote, you won't be able to get Qidu!"

When the soldiers retreated, Lin Yilong clasped his fists and said, "My brother Qian laughed. Then let's talk about this today. Tomorrow I will report the situation carefully with my king, hoping to win an alliance with Siguo."

"Then Brother Laulin, I'll wait for good news tomorrow." Qian Xiaoxing sent Lin Yilong out of the door until Lin Yilong carried away his sedan chair and returned to the hotel.

It was dark at this time, and Qian Xiaoxing blinked at Lan Xiaocui and said, "Xiaocui, can we have a long talk tonight?"

Lan Xiaocui lowered her head and said, "Brother Xing, I want to go back to the palace tonight. This time I sneaked out. My mother must be anxious if she can't find me. If you want to have a long talk with me, just carry the sedan chair and marry me."

"Well, as long as Si Guo and Lin Guo can join forces, your father should not object to our marriage. Then I will carry the sedan chair and have a good chat with you." Qian Xiaoxing replied seriously.

"Then I'll go back first, I'll sneak out to find you tomorrow." Lan Xiaocui said that, looking at Qian Xiaoxing, and reluctantly left Juxianlou.

Qian Xiaoxing immediately pointed out four people from the guard company and said, "You four, escort Princess Zicui to the gate of the palace."

"Yes!" The four of them immediately followed Lan Xiaocui.

Qian Xiaoxing returned to the upper floor and said this meal. Before he could eat much, Feng Juan Canyun ate it, then patted his stomach and walked out. The soldiers of the guard company also ate it and followed Qian Xiaoxing downstairs.

Xiong Yitan said in a scent of alcohol, "Damn it, I haven't drunk such a good wine for a long time, it's so satisfying."

Seeing Xiong Yitan's steps drifting, Qian Xiaoxing cursed angrily: "I get drunk as soon as I drink it. Xiong Yitan, what I said at the beginning, I will immediately review it!"

Seeing Qian Xiaoxing's face, Xiong Yitan woke up immediately after seeing most of the wine. He said loudly: "Chief of Staff, I know I was wrong. I analyzed it. My problem: good wine, the specific reason is: good wine, and the experience is learned from it: good drinking, and the direction of efforts in the future: good wine, rectification measures: good wine, I will definitely drink good wine in the future and no longer drink more."

"Oh, I can't tell. You can make a lot of money after drinking. If you drink too much in the future, I will take off all of you and let you parade in the streets!" Qian Xiaoxing said intimidatingly.

Xiong Yitan stood at attention and said, "I will never dare to do it again."

Hu Suoyuan said from the other side: "Chief of Staff, I didn't expect that Princess Zicui of Lin Country is also your old lover. The Chief of Staff is amazing. If you don't soak, just soak the princess, tsk tsk!"

"Stop talking nonsense, just show me some. If Shi Yao doesn't come, maybe he will be secretive, so he will be more careful." Qian Xiaoxing ordered.

"Yes!" Hu Suoyuan replied immediately.

Qian Xiaoxing found the hotel owner to pay the bill and said to the boss: "Shi Yao owes us 300 taels of medicine, so I will deposit it here first. We will come to take it often in the future until it is deducted."

After saying that, he led everyone out, leaving the shop owner to sigh at the counter and cursed: "Who am I provoking whom I am."

The next day in Lin State's court, King Lin said to all officials: "You have thought about the problem of Si State yesterday for a day, but has it been a result?"

Lin Yilong came out and said, "Emperor, I believe that the benefits of our Lin State and Si State will outweigh the disadvantages of dealing with Hu State. Hu State has lost 80,000 elite troops this time. Hu State has shown a defeat. If we join forces with Si State, it is not impossible to eliminate Hu State."

After hearing this, King Lin was also stunned. He used to ignore the power of Si State, but Si State is no longer the same. Now he has formed an alliance with Si State and dealing with Hu State is indeed the best choice. Before King Lin made up his mind, Shi Yao stood up and said, "Emperor, Si State trapped me nearly 9,000 cavalry and killed me more than 1,000 people. This hatred can be let go so easily. We must seek justice for the dead soldiers."

After hearing Shi Yao's words, Lin Yilong made sense, but he was mostly revenge. It seemed that he really hated Qian Xiaoxing to the core, but what he said could not be refuted, so he had to stand quietly and see the opinions of others.

The other ministers were also embarrassed after hearing this. If they joined forces, the idea was good, but they were still not sure about the power of Si State. Joining forces to destroy Hu State may not be able to achieve it. Moreover, letting Si State easily and using Hu Ju Pass to exchange prisoners was obviously losing face and losing the prestige of a great power.

So, two factions in the court started arguing. One faction mainly supported the alliance with Si State, while the other faction mainly focused on Shi Yao. If they did not form an alliance with Si State, they would seek justice.

The two factions argued with each other for a long time, but they didn't fight for a victory or defeat. Seeing that, King Lin gradually became irritated and shouted loudly: "Don't argue, this way, if the State of Si promises to release the people unconditionally, I will form an alliance with the State of Si. If the State of Si must exchange prisoners for Huju Pass, I will definitely not agree."

After hearing this, Lin Yilong asked worriedly: "Emperor, what should we do if the State of Si does not agree to release the person unconditionally?"

"He dares!" King Lin said angrily: "I will send troops to destroy the Si State!"

"Do you really want the nearly nine thousand cavalry?" Lin Yilong sighed.

When King Lin heard this, he was immediately discouraged and asked, "Then do you have any good suggestions?"

Lin Yilong leaned over and replied, "I think we should negotiate with the State of Si to see if we can exchange the prisoners without giving the Hu Ju Pass. Your Majesty also know that the last time we sent troops to attack the State of Si was a trick of Hu. Now if we start a stalemate with the State of Si, we will only benefit Hu. We must not do such a thing again."

"I know this too, but the State of Si wants me to be Huju Pass, and I... cannot agree." King Lin couldn't make up his mind and shook his head and said.

Lin Yilong said sincerely: "Emperor, if we lose a Huju Pass and obtain a large area of ​​land and city in Hu, why don't we do it?"

Shi Yao came out to retort: ​​"After that being said, it is real to lose Huju Pass, but it is void to obtain the land and city of Hu. Hu still has hundreds of thousands of troops, so it may not be possible to take advantage."

Wang Lin thought for a while and said, "Then let's do it. Lin Yilong is responsible for negotiating with Si. My bottom line is that I cannot give Huju Pass. If he has other conditions, I will agree to form an alliance with Si. "

"Your Majesty, I think the general of Si State, Qian Xiaoxing, has close contact with Princess Zicui. Is this possible? If Si State promises to release the person unconditionally, we will let Princess Zicui and Qian Xiaoxing marry to strengthen the alliance relationship?" Lin Yilong suggested.

When Shi Yao heard that he wanted to betroth Princess Zicui to Qian Xiaoxing, he immediately shouted: "Your Majesty, I object! Siguo, I am just perfunctory to form an alliance with them. When the time comes, our Dalin Kingdom will still destroy Siguo. Let the princess marry Siguo, which means to serve as hostages for them. This method must not be done. Please think twice."

Some ministers also agreed: "The Chief Shi said that right. It is already a shame for us to form an alliance with the State of Si. They dare to raise conditions. They are really greedy."

Lin Yilong retorted: "Entang must be sincere. If you think about how to destroy the other party in the future when forming an alliance, what is the point of such an alliance? I think Princess Zicui used to live in Siguo and was also deeply in love with Qian Xiaoxing. If a princess gets married this time, she can keep Huju Pass and increase the mutual trust between the two countries. Why not do it? Please think twice."

King Lin pondered for a moment and said, "Then this way, Lin Yilong is responsible for negotiating with the envoy of the State of Si. Princess Zicui can marry Qian Xiaoxing, but I will not agree to other conditions again."
