Chapter 314 The lord, the land of evil (2)
Chen Baiqi slowly poured the boiled bamboo leaf green tea into four cups of lacquerware for tea. The cigarette curled up, and the white smoke from the cigarette blurred her moist and bright eyes.
She sighed: "It has always been like this to find wealth in danger."
However, these words attracted other people's attention, many disapproving or criticizing her - judging from her tone, she was planning to trade her lord for "wealth".
She glanced at it, then pursed her lips and smiled, then placed the tea vessel in front of them, indicating that they could drink.
"Right now, Huanxian expects that the King of Qi will not dare to take any risky actions. The most he can do is to keep the Lord under house arrest in the palace for a period of time."
Yuan Ping moved the tea utensils aside impatiently, held up the case and said with a serious look: "What if your estimate is wrong? What if the king of Qi jumps over the wall in a hurry..."
Chen Baiqi's attitude was gentle and calm. She explained his thoughts in response to his doubts: "This is not an estimate. You see, sooner or later, sooner or later, if the King of Qi suddenly made this plan, it must be because we used the refugees from all sides to urge him."
The strategy of mobilizing the public opinion in Qi and disrupting the temple has achieved actual results, and the lord has returned from Wei safely this time. I am afraid that the King of Qi's fear and suspicion of the lord has reached an intolerable level. But the King of Qi is the king of a country after all.
In addition, this person has always been indecisive, and he is not a vigorous person. Without real evidence and reasons, he would not dare to execute a prominent prince in the country at will, so he had no choice but to take this approach."
"Then it can be inferred that since he did not dare to attack the lord openly, he must have some scruples. If he did it during the birthday banquet, firstly, he would not be able to explain it to the world, and secondly, he would not be able to tell the lord
The people below explained it, so what he can do now is to temporarily imprison the lord in the palace, and then try to cut off the hands and feet of the lord outside one by one, so that he can be bold and confident at that time."
Feng Chen was considered a treacherous person present. He knew that Chen Baiqi's words were correct, but the human heart was ever-changing and no one could completely understand another person.
"What you said is indeed reasonable, but you are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case." Feng Chen said meaningfully.
Chen Baiqi thought for a moment and then said: "I will enter the palace with my lord. In addition, I will secretly arrange for experts to come to the rescue at any time. If there is really an immeasurable danger, it will be impossible for me to escape alone."
What a problem."
The others' expressions changed after hearing this.
But Mr. Mengchang raised the corner of his mouth, looked at her with a half-smile, and said strangely: "Leave you alone to run away? Is I such a useless person?"
Chen Baiqi knew that he was not really angry, but was joking, so he also joked: "The two of them ran away together, could they be promising?"
Haha - Su Fang laughed and shook his head after listening to their questions and answers.
Yuan Ping's tense and serious expression also relaxed for a moment.
Feng Xuan picked up the lacquerware and took a slow sip of tea. Then he raised his eyebrows and took a deep sip from the cup.
This tea... has a unique fragrance. When you drink it, your mouth is full of mellow aroma, and when you take a sip, it is like rain and dew in the clouds, refreshing your heart and mind.
This tea was created and brewed by "Chen Huanxian" himself. Before, he didn't agree with it, but now he feels that it is unique.
He took another sip.
Mr. Mengchang pointed at the countertop. The long sleeves of his cinnamon robe hung down to the ground, smelling of musk. He said in a lazy tone: "Then just don't run away. I don't believe it. Cowardly young men like them can really eat it."
I can’t do it.”
When Su Fang and Yuan Ping heard this, they both looked at him in shock.
They were also considered old men around Mengchang Jun, so they naturally understood the meaning of his words, indicating that he was planning to attend the banquet.
Yuan Ping said: "Lord..."
Mengchangjun raised his hand and took a slow look. At this time, the wind blew through his clothes, and the layers of scattered petals scattered a few petals, as if they were tinged with spring: "This matter is just like what Huanxian said, if
Once I enter the palace, they will also relax their vigilance about matters in Xue Yi, so that our plan will be foolproof."
Su Fang knelt down and folded his palms, saying: "My lord, Su Fang is also willing to enter the palace with my lord."
Mengchang Jun stretched out his hand to lift him up, looked down and said: "Mr. Su, the business transportation you are responsible for is very important. There is no need to abandon important matters and accompany me to the palace. Huanxian can just accompany me."
When Su Fang heard this, she looked at Chen Baiqi, as if assessing whether she could shoulder this important task alone.
Chen Baiqi raised a harmless smile and advised Mengchang Jun: "What Mr. Su has to do cannot be ignored. My lord, please feel free to leave it to Huanxian. Huanxian can guarantee that no one will hurt your lord even a hair."
of."
At this time, Feng Chen put down the tea bowl, raised his hands and said to Lord Mengchang: "In half a month or so, everything will be ready. We will rush into Qi Palace to rescue the lord at all costs."
Mengchangjun nodded, raised his head and put his hands behind his back, his lazy and confused expression seemed to be chopped into pieces by a sword, revealing the majestic and fierce underneath: "By then, everything will be different."
"I am willing to work with my lord to plan world affairs, regardless of life or death."
The three of them lifted their robes and knelt down at the same time, speaking in unison, sonorously and forcefully.
——
On the ninth day of the eighth lunar month, Linzi of the State of Qi had already decentralized an announcement to celebrate Madam Ru's birthday. The city must be decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and all workers should be put on festive clothes. All workers could take a break, and shops, restaurants, and elegant gatherings could stay up all night without a curfew.
Mengchang Jun's chariot driver had received a special grant from the King of Qi to enter the palace directly without having to dismount in front of the palace gate. Therefore, when people entered the palace, the sky was already getting brighter.
The birthday banquet was held in the same style as in the past, with exquisite utensils and furnishings, tempting delicacies on the tables, expensive old wines from all over the world, and various graceful and pretty maids walking around.
There were hundreds of green tables and tables placed in the hall. Each table and a seat could accommodate hundreds of people. This time, many ministers and military generals from Qi State came. They saw singing, dancing and music, and the hall was full of splendor and splendor.
When Lord Mengchang came, the banquet was quiet for a moment, but soon it was as if nothing had happened. He walked on the empty carpet in the center to the high seat of King Qi. He observed along the way and found that everyone in the banquet had something to do with him.
None of the private courtiers are here, and those here are all the close civil and military officials of the King of Qi.
Such a clumsy plan would be difficult for King Qi Min to do.
"Tian Wenxing has lived up to his command and completed what the king told him. This is the document of the Alliance of the Six Nations. I hope the king will read it." Lord Mengchang lifted his robe and knelt down, and presented a golden scroll embroidered with an embroidered image of an armadillo, a suanni, and a leopard fighting against each other.
In the hall, King Qi Min is as skinny as a stalk, while down below, King Mengchang is as tall as a jade mountain, majestic yet gorgeous. Comparing the two, one feels that the sun is declining on the west mountain and is getting old, while the other is as high as the sun, soaring upwards.
King Qi Min glanced at him casually, then pretended to stand up and gave him a hand: "I know that it is appropriate to leave this matter to Tian Wen. Quickly, get up."
His voice was gentle and kind, without any flaws or flaws.
The entourage went down and took the six-nation alliance document presented by Lord Mengchang, and then bowed and handed it into the hands of King Qi Min.
King Qi Min didn't have the patience to look through it. He just glanced at it with a smile and handed it over to the people behind him.
King Qi Min again focused his attention on Mengchang Jun. His little mung bean eyes narrowed and he clenched his fists and coughed lightly. Today, he put powder on his face and smeared lipstick on his lips. As a result, his complexion looked better than before.
He was much better, but acting like this gave his hypocritical face a hint of decay and decay.
"The king seems to be getting healthier and healthier these days." Mr. Mengchang smiled approvingly on his face, but in his heart he was watching with cold eyes how he was destroying himself.
King Qi Min was overjoyed when he heard the words, but then he restrained himself and said: "Thanks to the blessing of the prime minister, I went to the Six Kingdoms for an alliance on my behalf, and the alliance was completed, so that I can rest easy in the palace to recuperate. Today, as Mrs.
This birthday banquet is also a thank-you banquet for the Prime Minister. Come on, take a seat."
As soon as he finished speaking, two beautiful ladies from the palace floated up to Mengchang Jun. They gently took off his robe and gently helped him to sit in front of the long case.
Lord Mengchang's position was arranged further forward, just enough to raise his head to talk with King Qi Min without being confused by the noise of the banquet.
After sitting down, two more palace ladies twisted their waists and swung their hips to push aside the servants behind Mengchang Jun. They held up the most exquisite bronze tripod and jade jute and coquettishly poured the palace's famous wine into the jute.
.
Chen Baiqi, one of the attendants who was pushed out, had his nose sprayed with perfume, but she was not annoyed, but looked at it with a smile. She looked at Mengchang Jun, but saw that he was rarely sitting upright, turning a blind eye to the attentiveness of all the beauties.
He just looked around the scene casually.
She thought to herself that using a beauty trap against her lord was like playing a trick on Guan Gong. Who didn't know that his lord spent a lot of money to cultivate a whole yard of fat and thin beauties, just to present them to the giants who needed to win over for cooperation?
Mengchangjun is the one who knows the most about beautifying people.
"Thank you, the king, for the wine." Mr. Mengchang raised his hand in salute, and then asked doubtfully: "Today is my aunt's birthday, but why don't I see her?"
King Qi Min waved his hand and sighed with regret: "Hey, I originally wanted to celebrate Mrs. Ru's birthday, but I didn't know that she suddenly felt sick today. She is getting older, and one day is better than one day of aging and illness.
I recalled the time when Mrs. Ru was with my father the year before last. At that time, Mrs. Ru had taken care of her like a son for a while. Thinking of the old relationship, I thought of being kind to my old friend on behalf of my late father and congratulating her on her birthday to prolong He's life.
.”
Mr. Mengchang just chuckled, his half-downed eyebrows dimmed by the light of the lamp, and he didn't ask any more questions.
But King Qi Min seemed to be interested in chatting with Tian Wen about the past. He said: "Speaking of which, I have known Tian Wen for more than ten years. I remember when you first entered the palace.
You were only seven or eight years old. At that time, my grandfather brought you to me and asked me to lead you to play in the palace. At that time, I often went to Mrs. Ru's place with you, do you still remember?"
Lord Mengchang took a sip of wine, put Jue down, and said calmly: "Of course I will remember."
"You were naive and childish at that time, and you often regarded Gu's words as holy orders and obeyed them all. It's a pity that now that you have grown up, Gu feels that you are becoming more and more distant from Gu." King Qi Min sighed.
.
But Lord Mengchang smiled and said: "The king is joking, Tian Wen's attitude toward the king is the same as when he was a child, and it has not changed."
"Oh, my body is getting worse day by day. I often recall the time when I played with you when I was a child. I'm afraid it's a flashback to the past. If this is the case, I want Tian Wen to stay here temporarily.
What do you think about being with an orphan in the palace for a while?" King Qi Min looked at Mengchang and asked.
Lord Mengchang immediately panicked and said: "The king has God's blessing, which is a sign of good fortune and longevity. You must not say this."
King Qi Min turned a deaf ear to his words, his eyes licking people like tongues of fire. He was hoarse and his voice became gloomy in vain: "I think Tian Wen may not have seen her for a long time, so don't you want to accompany her?"
Lord Mengchang raised his head and saw King Qi Min looking at him with eyes that were hard to distinguish, like venom that had been quenched, turning green in the night.
"What does the king mean by this?"
King Qi Min seemed to have exhausted all his strength. He suddenly lay back, spread his arms, and closed his eyes.
"Let's do it!"
His words were very soft, and only the people nearby could hear them clearly. A guard lifted up a bronze baron and threw it to the ground. With a sharp clang, the generals who had been ambushing in the banquet jumped up like a tiger attacking a sheep.
posture.
When Chen Baiqi saw this, he was shocked and immediately ran to Lord Mengchang.
"Lord, be careful!"
But as soon as she took a step, a sharp long sword was placed on her neck, forcing her to freeze.
In an instant, Lord Mengchang was also surrounded and could not escape.
At this time, King Qi Min slowly opened his eyes and stared down at Lord Mengchang, who was holding dozens of long swords on his body. He was condescending and seemed to be proud of himself. He asked casually: "Now...are you willing to enter the palace?"
Staying temporarily for a while?”
Mengchangjun's eyes were as cold as ice. He looked back at King Qi Min and sneered. He cupped his hands and said, "Tian Wen dare not disobey the king's orders."
