Qi Ning took a deep breath, and finally realized that Gong Zhaxi and others regarded the box as a treasure, and it was very likely that it was because of the pearl in the white clam.uuk.la
Qi Feng's words just now made Qi Ning suddenly realize.
Since clam meat is a medicinal material that can cure diseases, the medicinal effect of such a rare white clam is naturally even more extraordinary. If Gong Zhaxi and others came to Dongqi thousands of miles to find magic medicine, it would be impossible to understand.
But if so, who will this white clam treat the disease?
Qi Ning thought that since the Dharma King Zhuri was one of the five great masters, his martial arts were superb, his physique was naturally extraordinary. Naturally, this white clam was not for the Dharma King, which means that Gong Zhaxi and others came to Dongqi without hesitation, which is very likely to be for the ancient elephant royal family.
However, Qinghai-Tibet and Dongqi have high mountains and long roads, and Tuyuhun people rarely enter the Central Plains. How do they know that there are white clams in Dongqi that can cure diseases? How do they determine that white clams can definitely cure the diseases there?
If this problem cannot be explained, it is impossible to be sure that Gong Zhaxi and others brought back the white clams to cure the disease.
Qi Ning originally thought that he could find out whether the ancient elephant kingdom and Dongqi were involved in this box, but now he saw that it was just a white clam, and he was a little disappointed.
However, it was unexpected to provoke the opposition between Gong Zhaxi and the Northern Han people. I thought that behind Gong Zhaxi was the Dharma King Zhuri. This time, I accidentally led the Northern Han to become enemies with the Dharma King Zhuri, which made the Northern Han add an enemy like Zhuri and even the Ancient Elephant Kingdom, which is of course a great thing for Chu State.
If this was not available, Qi Ningdao really wanted to secretly return the white clam, but since it could provoke a dispute between the two sides, the white clam could not be returned.
But he didn't know how to raise white clams. He knew that it would not take long to die. Although he felt it was a pity, there was no other way.
He knew that it was not safe to put the box in his house. If Gong Zhaxi really knew that he had stole the white clam, it would be a big trouble. He immediately used the cold blade to cut open two floor tiles at the corner of the house and dug another hole. Then he put the box in, covered the floor tiles, kept it the same way, and after processing the remaining soil, he became slightly broader.
At dusk the next day, the Prime Minister's Office indeed sent someone to invite him. He was the chief supervisor of the Prime Minister's Office. When Qi Ning saw that Linghu Xu was not sending an official, but his own chief supervisor, he knew in his heart that this was a family banquet and not a formal one.
The Prime Minister's Mansion prepared a carriage. Although Wu Dalin was invited, he was worried about an accident here. Wu Dalin decided to stay. Qi Ning took Qi Feng and other entourages and a team of guards to the Prime Minister's Mansion. He ignored the Northern Han mission and came to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Qi Ning got off the carriage and saw the vermilion gate with flagpoles on both sides and the two hideous and mighty jade lions sitting cross-legged next to the door. A row of white jade steps led directly to the front hall, with a very proud aura.
The three words "National Prime Minister's Mansion" are written in the middle of the gate. The pen is like a dragon and snake, and it is extraordinary. Qi Ning saw it and thought that the Prime Minister's Mansion is so grand that it can also show Linghu Xu's status in Dongqi.
At this time, seeing the carriage that followed behind also stopped, Prince Yu and Beitangfeng got off from two carriages one after another, and the Lord of Fire and several guards followed Beitangfeng.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of drums and music, and saw a man wearing a high crown, wearing a red robe, and a jade belt around his waist. He was greeted with a stalwart step. Qi Ning looked at him and saw that the person was over 50 years old, with a handsome appearance, quite elegant spirit, smiling face, and a loud voice: "A distinguished guest is here, he is lucky for three lives, and he is lucky for three lives."
Qi Ning knew that this person should be Linghu Xu. He went up with Prince Yu and bowed to him almost at the same time. Linghu Xu smiled and said, "Prince Yu is very talented and well-versed in history. I have heard of it for a long time. I have long wanted to admire Zhenyan. I will meet him today and get my long-cherished wish. It is really a pleasure to comfort my whole life."
Prince Yu smiled and said, "The Prime Minister of Linghu has been praised for his great reputation. The Prime Minister of Linghu has the ability to govern the country and maintain peace and stability. He has the ability to overcome the heaven and earth, which is actually a blessing for Qi."
Linghu Xu laughed and looked at Qi Ning with a solemn expression. He bowed and said, "This person must be the waiter of the Jinyi. The young man is awesome. He is young, but he has been entrusted with important tasks by the State of Chu. It can also be seen that his talent is the waiter of the Jinyi. If it were not the waiter of the Jinyi, His Royal Highness would be in danger. All of our country of Qi are grateful for the kindness of the waiter of the Jinyi."
Prince Yu was a little confused. King Taishan rebelled, so Dongqi naturally tried his best to control the spread of news. Prince Yu still didn't know the clues.
Linghu Xu obviously knew that this kind of thing would be known sooner or later, and had no intention of hiding it. He sighed: "The prince doesn't know anything. The prince raised an army to rebel, trying to lead troops to attack and kill the prince while the prince was hunting. Fortunately, the prince was righteous, which made the prince turn the danger into danger. The young hero of the prince is really admirable."
Prince Yu changed color slightly, and Beitang Feng who walked upstairs was even more surprised to hear Ling Hu Xu's words.
The Northern Han mission came here because he learned about the actions of the Southern Chu side and was worried that Chu would seriously form an alliance with Qi, so he immediately sent an envoy to compete with each other for the sake of the relationship. It would be best to be able to marry Dongqi, but even if he could not get married, he would definitely not be able to succeed.
But what Ling Hu Xu said at this time made Prince Yu and Beitang Feng feel sad.
When the Taishan King rebelled, Qi Ning saved the Prince of Dongqi, and if he took the lead in giving kindness to Qi, if the prince was grateful to Qi Ning's kindness and favored Chu, this matter would be extremely troublesome.
Prince Yu's expression changed and he still smiled, "It turns out that a hero is a young man, and Jinyi Hou is worthy of being a member of Jinyi's family."
Beitang Feng was filled with joy and anger, so he was naturally not as good as Prince Yu, and his face was extremely ugly.
"The Prime Minister of Linghu, this is the second prince Beitang Feng." Prince Yu introduced to Linghu Xu: "The second prince came to Qi State in person to meet the king of your country in person."
Beitangfeng stopped his face at this time, forced a smile, and stepped forward and bowed, "I'll pay homage to Prime Minister Linghu!" He seemed polite, and Qi Ning was silent on the side. He knew that Beitangfeng did this, so Prince Yu naturally had an explanation in advance.
Linghu Xu smiled with a gentle look and said, "The younger generation is terrifying, and the younger generation is terrifying." He raised his hand and said, "Come on, the banquet has been set up in the flower hall. Prince Yu, the waiter of Jinyi, the second prince, let's go to the table first. You are just a family banquet today, which is quite shabby. Don't laugh at you. The emperor will summon you personally, and the emperor will hold a state banquet to entertain you."
The few of them were polite to each other. Linghu Xu led everyone to the flower hall. Although Linghu Xu did not stop him, the Chu and Han countries knew the rules and did not bring all their followers in. Beitang Feng led the Fire God Lord and a huge guard into the mansion, while Qi Ning led Qi Feng and Li Tang.
After walking through the corridor and around the painting building, I walked for a long time. When I arrived at the flower hall, I saw that the furnishings in Linghu Xu’s mansion were very elegant. Although they were rich, they did not have the smell of gold, silver and copper. There were many calligraphy and paintings. I thought that this person’s attainment in picking should be quite low.
The flower hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion is really not small. As soon as he entered the flower hall, he saw many officials waiting inside. When Linghu Xu came back, the officials all stood up from their seats and bowed to Qi Ning and others.
Although the arrival of Chu and Han countries is considered to be a demand for Dong Qi, the two countries, in terms of territory and strength, are far beyond the reach of Dong Qi. In the eyes of Dong Qi, whether it is Southern Chu or Northern Han, they are powerful countries that are stronger than Dong Qi. Now that the envoys of both countries come, the officials dare not lose their manners.
Qi Ning knew that at this moment he was not representing an individual, but the Southern Chu State. He smiled and bowed back, looking humble but not humble, and generous. Prince Yu also bowed back. Beitangfeng followed Prince Yu. Although he bowed back, he obviously rarely bowed to others, and his movements even seemed a little stiff and unnatural.
Qi Ning glanced at him, but saw that Gong Zhaxi was there. Everyone stood up. Weiyou Gong Zhaxi sat upright on the side of the desk, folded his hands, but his eyes were staring at Beitangfeng. Beitangfeng obviously saw Gong Zhaxi. He had the Fire God beside him. He saw that Gong Zhaxi had no helper, let alone this was the Prime Minister's Mansion. Gong Zhaxi didn't dare to treat him. He raised his neck slightly, passed by Gong Zhaxi, and snorted provocatively.
Gong Zhaxi's eyes were full of anger, but he remained motionless.
Everyone sat down. Prince Yu and Qi Ning were today's guests. They sat on both sides. Linghu Xu naturally sat in the main seat and took the lead and said: "Everyone, it is rare that the two missions from Chu and Han countries are coming to the country. The road is exhausted. Let's give this glass of wine to the envoys of the two countries first!"
Everyone raised their glasses and drank them all in one go, only Gong Zhaxi looked at his eyes and his nose and his heart, like a stone sculpture.
Linghu Xu put down his wine glass and smiled and said, "Everyone, you should have heard of it. Prince Yu took the exam anonymously and ranked first. The northern people are full of talents, and Prince Yu is at the top. Such a talent is so admirable." He raised his hand and pointed at Qi Ning and smiled and said, "As for the Jinyi Hou, everyone knows that the Jinyi Qi family is a martial honor family in Southern Chu, but do you know that the talent of this little marquis is unparalleled. I wonder if you have heard of the Jinghua of Chu?"
An official immediately said: "Prince, the Jinghua Association is a grand event of the Chu State. It is said that the eight courtyards of Chu State participated in it, and they are all top talents in the Chu State."
Linghu Xu nodded and smiled, "Yes, the little marquis at the Beijing Conference ranked first in the chess and paintings, and was called the No. 1 scholar of Chu. Do you know?"
Qi Ning felt a little nervous and thought that Ling Hu Xu knew a lot about him, but he didn't know why he suddenly mentioned these things at this time.
Linghu Xu smiled and said, "Prince Yu, Hou Jinyi, I have been confused by several problems recently and have never been able to solve them. Today, the two of you are here to the humble house and are about to ask you for advice!"—
