Chapter 111: Qi Envoy Enters Wei * Seeking Monthly Ticket 】
The entire Daliang City became strange with the addition of the Pijia Gate and Wei Wuzun, and even ordinary people could feel the abnormality.
After all, the city guards, who were usually lazy, became serious and carefully searched any pedestrians and business trips entering and leaving the city. Everyone could notice something was wrong.
"June, we are just ordinary business travelers, and we are all carrying ordinary goods!" A caravan said as he looked at the Junhou at the city gate and calmly stuffed a small bag of golden beads into the city gate's sleeve.
"Old Fan, we are not willing to do this. Over the years, we don't know your caravan, but this time it was a dead order from the top. Even a bird must be caught and numbered before it can fly over!" The military marquis returned Jin Zhu and carefully checked.
"This..." The business traveler immediately became nervous and looked at the soldiers who were searching carefully. All the guards always looked at the leading shopkeeper.
The Junhou looked at the guards' alertness and became alert. He stared at the shopkeeper of the business and traveled immediately ordered: "Catch it!"
"Do it!" The shopkeeper also pulled out a long sword from under the shaft of the car and instantly slashed at the military marquis.
"Clang clang clang~" With the sound of drawing the sword, all the guards drew their swords from the truck and slashed at the soldiers around them.
With the previous order of the city gate command, all the soldiers were ready to fight with the Xie guards.
However, as the capital city guard, even if it is not as good as the Imperial Guard and the Wei Wuzhang, it is not comparable to ordinary guards.
A quarter of an hour later, the guards were killed and injured, the shopkeeper Lao Fan was also taken down, and the city guards were also killed and injured.
"This is not an ordinary business traveler!" The city gate looked at the soldiers who were killed and injured. Even if ordinary business travelers asked for escorts, they would not hire so many masters. After all, these few cars of goods were not worth the cost of escorts.
The military marquis split the carriage, and a pile of cloth scattered all over the ground, but these were all things on the surface. Beneath the cloth was a disassembled Korean crossbow and a spearhead forged by Tangxi, a spear and a standard long sword.
"Tell me, who are you?" The Junhou broke out in a cold sweat. Although the countries did not prohibit the people from possessing weapons, such powerful crossbows, spearheads, and standard long swords were not something that ordinary people could get, and were even much better than the equipment of their city guards.
The shopkeeper, Old Fan, looked at Junhou, showed a smile on his lips, and then a trace of black blood overflowed along the corner of his mouth.
"Damn it, you dare!" Junhou reacted instantly and pinched Lao Fan's chin with one hand, but it was too late.
"Death Soldier!" Junhou looked at Lao Fan's body and other guards, and they all bite the poison sac behind their teeth and died instantly.
"Made in Tangxi!" Junhou looked at the marks on the weapons. A crabapple can only be Tangxi, and only Tangxi has such forging technology and can forge such weapons in large quantities.
"The matter is serious!" Junhou thought in an instant that starting from Tangxi and walking on Daliang, the only places he could go to were Qi, Yan and Zhongshan.
Zhongshan is already weak and it is impossible to have such a demand for weapons, so it is only possible that it is Yan and Qi.
And these are not something he can manage, but they must be reported to the General and the Crown Prince.
So the Wei court opened the court meeting again because it was not discovered by a caravan, but several cities were intercepted.
I don’t know how many people have not been intercepted, and this is not a good thing for the Wei Kingdom.
"Yan State or Qi State, or both?" Wei Jiao frowned and pondered, and looked at his disciples and Lian Po.
"It's Qi State, but it can't be Qi State!" Lian Po said in a low voice.
"Yan Hua, the foreign minister of Qi, requested an interview!" A temple man rushed into the court hall and said to Wang Zeng of Wei.
"It's coming so fast!" Lian Po and Wei Gua looked at each other, and it was undoubtedly confirmed that it was Qi State.
"Why can't the Qi State be said to be?" Wei Jiao looked at Lian Po and asked.
"Xuan!" King Zeng of Wei frowned. He could also guess that these weapons were customized by Qi State.
"Wei State can no longer afford to offend Qi, and even Qi is the target of our Wei State's coalition. Even if we know that Qi is training troops, we can only send our weapons back to Qi, and even help Qi hide from Qin's spies!" Lian Po sighed.
"Then just watch them transport the military supplies from under our noses?" Wei Jiao clenched his fists. When did the great Wei Dynasty fall to this level?
"What the old minister is most worried about is whether Qi trains the new army to fight against Qin or to share our Great Wei with Qin!" Lian Po said with a serious look.
If he were the prime minister of Qi, he would not have chosen to join forces with Wei. After all, after the war between the two tribes, Qin would have occupied the land of Han and Zhao, with more than one million soldiers, and they were all veterans of a hundred battles.
The best choice for Qi State is to divide Wei State with Qin, expand Qi State's land, and use Wei State to train troops. It is also a buffer place to keep the war out of the country and become a major country second only to Qin.
"Foreign minister of Qi, you have met the King of Wei!" said the stalemate of Qi, like a court of neither humble nor arrogant.
"The Gongyang clan is the foreign minister, and Qi State has the intention to compete for hegemony!" Lian Po sighed.
The Gongyang clan has always been a radical faction in Confucianism. Now Qi State regards the Gongyang clan as the foreign minister, and there have been earth-shaking changes compared to the court.
"What's the matter with the envoy Qi coming this time?" King Zeng of Wei asked.
Although I already know why the cashmere comes, I still have to ask what I should ask.
"I dare to ask what is Wei's intention to stop our Qi business and travel for no reason and seize our Qi's supplies?" Mr. Cashmere looked directly at King Zeng of Wei and asked.
The Cashmere did not say that it was seizing military supplies, nor did it say that it was killing the business travelers of Qi, but it changed its previous timidity and directly asked Wei.
"Can you know what you sell in your country's business travelers?" Wei Wang Zeng asked with a frown.
The Qi State Qi envoy's attitude was aggressive and changed his previous submissiveness, which made him feel a little uncomfortable and uncomfortable.
"Just as far as the business travelers in Qi captured by the Great Wei Dynasty were enough to equip a 30,000 army..." Wei Wang Zeng said as he looked at the cremer.
"No!" When King Zeng of Wei was about to say the seized goods, Lian Po hurriedly spoke over and interrupted, knowing that the merchants and travelers of Qi were transporting military supplies. Once the King of Wei ordered the name and had too many people, who knew if there were any Qin people in the court?
Cashmere looked at Lian Po with a smile. If the general of Wei State was not Lian Po and the prime minister was not Lian Po, he would not dare to be so aggressive.
After all, Qi's secret training of troops was hidden from the world. Once exposed, the world would know that Qi had the will to compete for hegemony. At that time, all countries would have a sense of prevention towards Qi, which would be unfavorable to the development of Qi.
"Confucianism cannot be underestimated!" Lian Po said in a tone.
Confucianism has been in Qi for many years, but now Qi has changed, Confucianism cannot not know about it. However, this time on the mission of Censer, Confucianism must have analyzed the entire Wei State, so that the aggressiveness of Censer was achieved.
Qi had already calculated that Wei did not dare to make a statement, especially with Lian Po, Wei would never dare to expose Qi's military training before he was uncertain whether Qi was an enemy or a friend.
"Heibai Xuanjian appeared in Daliang for no reason. Is it because Taoism has already made a tentative sound? " Lian Po thought of more.
Heibai Xuanjian is a Taoist protector, and his status is still above all the elders. How could he appear in Daliang for no reason? It is obvious that he came with a purpose. Moreover, Taoism and Qin Luowang and Shadow Secret Guard were looking for something. Now it seems that he is looking for the supplies of the Qi business and travelers.
"I'm afraid that it's not just Heibai Xuanjian, but Wu Chenzi, the head of Taoist sect, and Xiao Mengzi, the head of Tianzong, should have arrived at Daliang!" Lian Po said to Wei Xiu in a low voice.
Wei Jiao was stunned for a moment. Didn’t he say he was still on the road? Why did he become already here again? You should know that the difference between being on the road and being already here is different.
If Wuchenzi arrives, it means that the entire Taoism and Qin State will have a backbone in Daliang, and the power that can be exerted is also different.
"Use the power of Xinlingjun!" Lian Po said to Wei Xiu.
If Wu Chenzi and Xiao Mengzi arrive, the Taoist Tianzong and Renzong will definitely arrive. Joining the Qin Luowang and Ying Sewei, Wei Suo's current power is no match at all.
"We need to use Xinlingjun's power?" Wei Jiao was still hesitant. He wanted to prove himself and was unwilling to use Xinlingjun's power.
"Wuchenzi is extraordinary. He will never take action without absolute certainty. Han Zhao is already a precedent!" Lian Po said.
Although Wu Chenzi is young, since he went down the mountain, no action has been made to stir up the world.
The destruction of Han and Zhao was all done by Wu Chenzi, and there was also the fifth heavenly human decree that only knew its name but not the truth. Which one did not shock the world?
Wei Jiao was silent. Even the veteran Lian Po said so, which proved that the action against Hei Bai Xuan Jian had exceeded their expectations.
But he still wanted to prove himself, especially what Empress Dowager Wei told him, when should the dominance of Wei use the power of foreign ministers to enrich himself?
"Our Qi State's business travel is normal, why should the Wei State make things difficult for us?" Gong Qianmei looked at Wang Zeng of Wei and said with a faint smile, then said: "Our Qi State has not been through war for forty years and has not been in war. The people are rich. The wealth of Qi State is known to everyone. The vast land and the number of people in Qi State are the most, which country can compare with the world?"
Wang Zeng of Wei looked at the cashmere and looked at each other, but the cashmere was always smiling and looking at him without any fear.
"The Qi army came here for a long time, and I must be tired. It would be better to go to the side palace to rest first. Our Wei State still has state affairs to discuss with each other." King Zeng of Wei said with a resentment.
Cancent looked at Wang Zeng of Wei and still kept smiling, but he knew that Wei must have time to discuss, so he nodded, turned around and left the Wei court.
"When will the dignified Wei Kingdom be insulted?" After the Cashmere left, King Zeng of Wei broke out instantly and smashed everything he could lose on his hands on the hall.
However, civil and military officials did not dare to say anything. Those who knew knew that Qi was declaring their hegemony. Those who didn't know also thought that Qi was crazy and that they were so arrogant.
"King, please revise the alliance with Qi State!" Seeing that no one said anything, Lian Po could only go forward and say.
"Revise the Covenant?" All civil and military officials were stunned. For forty years, Qi State had no choice but to participate in the war, not form alliances, and not cultivate military preparations. How could Qi State agree to revise the Covenant at this time?
"If the seized items are formed, the Wei Kingdom will return them. If they do not form an alliance, they will not return them!" Lian Po continued.
King Zeng of Wei frowned and did not return Qi's military supplies, so Qi had an excuse to attack Wei, which was equivalent to sending Qi to Qin.
"Do you still remember the Yan State's attack on Zhao?" Lian Po said to Wang Zeng of Wei.
After the Battle of Handan, Zhao State had less than 100,000 troops available, so Yan State took the opportunity to attack Zhao. He was ordered to lead the remaining soldiers of Zhao State to force the Yan army to retreat, seize the five cities, and use this to enfeoff the king.
The reason why he said this was that he told the King of Wei again that he did not need to worry about Qi. If Qi dared to send troops to attack Wei, he would take the opportunity to invade Qi.
"Father, my son thinks the general's suggestion is feasible!" Wei Jiao also spoke up to support his teacher.
Wang Zeng of Wei glanced at Wei Jie and frowned. He then handed over Xinlingjun's power to the prince. Now the prince's group has actually been mixed up with the general. Can't wait?
"I will discuss the matter of alliance with Qi again. What's the matter of assassin? "Why did the prince do it?" Wei Wang Zeng looked at Wei Jiao and asked.
"It's over!" Lian Po reacted instantly. The prince's mingling with him had already aroused the suspicion of the King of Wei. After all, the prince's power and his power had already threatened the King of Wei.
"The assassin has not been found out yet!" Wei Jiao was stunned, knowing that he shouldn't have spoken.
He was indeed unable to reach Heibai Xuanjian's hiding place first, and this happened suddenly, attracting the envoy of Qi.
"The prince is still focused on handling the matters at hand. As for state affairs, listen more, watch more, and talk less!" Wang Zeng of Wei said calmly as he looked at Prince Wei Liu.
"My son knows!" Wei Jiao trembled, understanding that it was Wang Zeng of Wei who was pointing him and let him stay away from Lian Po, otherwise the position of crown prince would no longer be.
"What our country of Wei detained was a member of Qin. His business travelers privately transported military equipment to Qi on the grounds of merchants. I wonder if Qi envoys knew?" Wang Zeng of Wei privately received the Crownmere and said.
Cashmere was stunned. Wei State wanted to deduct these military funds? It was different from their plan. Han and Zhao were gone. At this time, even if Wei State did not seek alliance between Qi, it would not have become enemies with them, right? It was completely beyond their expectations.
"The King of Wei really wants to detain the supplies of our Qi State?" Cancent looked at King of Wei and confirmed again.
"That's the Qin military capital!" Wang Zeng of Wei said again.
"Okay, I will report back to the king and say goodbye!" Cashmere turned around and left. Since we couldn't talk, there was no need to continue. This is their Gongyang clan.
Not only is it a great revenge, but it is also a decisive person in his work. My Gongyang clan dares to kill himself, so what are you afraid of?
After the cashmere left, Lian Po immediately came to see Wang Zeng of Wei.
The moment when Wang Zeng of Wei saw Lian Po, Ji knew that he was acting irritable, but he was still a little angry, so he directly chose not to see him.
Chapter completed!
