Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty-Three Small National Matters
(Seeking collection)
Zhou Yangong still knew the story of Ban Dingyuan.
Xi Ziyan watched with a calm face as Brother Yelumo, the leader of the Liao Kingdom, covered his neck and slowly fell down. His expression did not waver at all. Brother Yelumo's throat was opened with a bloody hole by a sharp and narrow sword.
Bright red blood continued to overflow from the gaps between his fingers. He opened his mouth and made a horrifying sound like a broken bellows in his throat, but in the end he could not say another word.
There was deep fear in his eyes. With the loss of blood, all the colors in his eyes were also lost, and gradually only a void was left. Perhaps, all the regrets, despair and unwillingness of Brother Yelumo before his death were reflected in this.
There was a little bit of happiness hidden in his emotions that even he himself was not aware of. After all... his death was not painful. Sometimes, dying quickly is also a kind of happiness.
Can we say that Brother Yelumo is happy?
Of course not, no matter who is killed, and the death is very painful, it is not a happy thing.
In troubled times, death is a common thing that is almost indistinguishable from eating, drinking, shitting, and peeing. The life and death of ordinary people are as insignificant as weeds to the big men who separatist power. However, it seems to be far more complicated than the life of ordinary people.
When a brilliant and colorful figure dies, it may not necessarily be a grand and spectacular death. Death may just be a cold word when spoken of, representing a corpse or many corpses that are colder than the word.
No matter who dies, all the flowers and glory in his lifetime become as pale as dust. Brother Yelumo is an out-and-out big shot. His status is respected in the Liao Kingdom. Although it cannot be said that he is respected by thousands of people, he definitely has
Power and status that are beyond the reach of ordinary people. But after his death, he turned into a handful of loess, just like a piece of yellow urine sprinkled into the Yellow River and followed the roaring river eastward, as if he had never appeared.
.
But there will always be some bright spots in a person's life.
The highlight of Brother Yelumo is that he died at the place where Dahan and Daxia met for an alliance, which directly contributed to Daxia having no choice but to accept the fact of forming an alliance with Dahan. Although such an alliance is a shame in the eyes of the party members
It's sad and unacceptable, but in fact many things are not determined by people's likes and dislikes. Weiming Xiaoxiao can explain to Yelu Xiongji that the death of Brother Yelumo has nothing to do with their party members.
No. Whether Ye Luxiong would believe him was one thing, and whether Wei Mingxiao would explain it was another matter.
Chun Jinglei was a very straightforward person. When he saw Brother Yelumo fall down, he withdrew his scimitar and walked back to Fire King Li Shou indifferently, guarding Ning Huan and the beautiful woman who made a stunning appearance.
"I can't believe that your weapon is actually a human being."
It's rare that Chun Jinglei can still say a piece of cold humor that's not very funny under such circumstances.
Ning Huan's answer was also wonderful: "I guarantee you are wrong."
He shook his hands slightly and said, "Actually, my weapons are always in front of you, but you always stare at the box."
Chun Jinglei shrugged his shoulders, then looked down at the bloody hole on his left hand and said, "Your weapon is pretty good."
Ning Huan smiled, said nothing, and started killing people.
There were several Khitan warriors on the field engaged in a battle between trapped beasts. Originally, their combat prowess was equally matched with Zhou Yangong's bodyguards, and no one could do anything about them. However, Ning Huan's intervention completely overturned the balance. Ning Huan was very delicate and delicate.
Just like a woman. But it seems that he is not delicate at all in killing. Direct and violent, bloody and decisive. He crushed the necks of all the Khitan warriors with his fingers, and then returned with his hands that still looked white and clean.
Go to Duke Yan of Zhou.
Xi Ziyan put away her long sword, glanced at Li Shou lightly, and then walked back, not minding at all that her back was facing Chun Jinglei, a master like him. It seemed that she expected that Chun Jinglei would not take action. Facts
Even Chun Jinglei wouldn't take action. Because he knew that he couldn't stop the two men's joint attack. His duty was to protect Fire King Li Shou, not to compete. What's more, after the competition, there was no need to recruit a bride.
These two words are really unattractive.
"Your Highness, can you ask your soldiers to stop?"
Zhou Yangong said with a smile.
Although Fire King Li Shou was very angry, this was not the time to be tough. If he had not ordered the Xixia soldiers to stop attacking, his soldiers would have been defeated by the Han army, but his own life would certainly have been lost.
ensure.
"Everyone stop it! Get back!"
Li Shou summoned up all his strength and shouted loudly, and the shout turned out to be very loud.
Zhou Yangong stood on the edge of the platform and nodded to the Han general who was directing the battle. The general understood and ordered the Han soldiers to withdraw to the side. The soldiers on both sides separated on guard, leaving dead bodies all over the open space.
"Zhou Yangong, do you think you can force me to submit in this way? Not to mention that Gu is not a person who has been coerced by others, do you think the Khitan people will believe that Brother Yelu Mo's death has something to do with it? Yelu Xiongji is not an idiot, and besides...
…”
Li Shou pointed to the Xixia camp in the distance and said: "There will always be someone who will go and tell Yelu Xiongji the truth about the matter. I don't like taking the blame, not at all. So, if Yelu Xiongji knows what happened today,
When things get angry and I send troops, in order to show my innocence, I will ask my Majesty, the Emperor of Great Xia, to send troops to support me. When that day comes, it will still be a situation of two fighting against one, and you Han will still not be able to get any benefits?"
"oops……"
Zhou Yangong lengthened his voice and pretended to be surprised and uttered two arrogant syllables.
Following Li Shou's instructions, a Khitan warrior could be seen rushing out of the Xixia camp on horseback. At this time, he had gone far away. Obviously, the Khitan warrior's mount was also a good horse. The man rushed out.
When leaving the camp, he hacked to death several Xixia guards. Looking at his ruthless attack, it seemed as if he had some deep grudge against the Tangut people.
"A Khitan man rushed out, what should I do?"
Zhou Yangong smiled and asked in a long voice.
No one answered him, and Zhou Yangong also knew that no one answered him.
"Your Highness, guess...why didn't I send someone to intercept?"
Li Shou raised his brows and was shocked: "Could it be that General Khitan... is a spy planted by your Han Kingdom in the Liao Kingdom?"
Zhou Yangong smiled and said: "Your Highness is smart!"
He asked with a smile: "Your Highness, do you think Ye Luxiongji believes your words, or does he believe the words of a Khitan general who escaped with a narrow escape? Is it because I have no intention of forming an alliance with Daxia or because I have not concealed anything from Your Highness?
With all sincerity, Your Highness...why can’t we sit down and talk again?”
Li Shou frowned and said coldly: "Why should I believe what you say? Although I don't know the name of the Khitan who escaped, I know that he is a general of the Liao Kingdom and has a high status. You Han
Although the country’s Supervisory Yuan is very powerful, is it really that powerful?”
Zhou Yangong said seriously: "Your Highness, it seems that you don't know much about the Supervisory Yuan of our country. I know that Daxia has established a yamen similar to the Supervisory Yuan, called Yipintang. Your Highness should be very clear about the capabilities of Yipintang.
The ability to infinitely amplify is the ability of the Oversight Council. To be honest with you, the Khitans do have many secret spies from our Han Oversight Council. To be honest with you, in Daxia... there are also many spies from the Oversight Council.
.Your Highness must not say that the secret spies of the Overwatch Council have been uprooted by your people in the First Grade Hall. It is undeniable that we have suffered some losses, but some of them have taken root in Daxia, and even have high rankings in the Daxia court. Really
I can guarantee that all the secret spies who pose a threat to Daxia are still there, not a single one is missing."
He smiled and said: "I believe in the ability of the Overwatch Council of the Han Dynasty, and I believe in the ability of my lord, the King of Han."
Li Shou's expression changed and he immediately asked: "Who is it?!"
Duke Yan of Zhou laughed loudly and said, "Your Highness, you are obsessed with your appearance."
Li Shou was stupefied and realized that Zhou Yangong was mocking him.
"I'm not used to being threatened to sign agreements like this. I don't think His Majesty will agree to do this. Even if Yelu Xiongji believes your Overwatch Council spies, he will just no longer ally with me, Daxia.
As for hostility, the Khitan people already have a lot of hostility towards me, Daxia. The worst outcome is that the three parties will just return to where they started and be wary of each other."
Zhou Yangong shook his head and said: "Your Highness, you are not clear about something. Yelu Xiongji will definitely believe the words of the man who escaped just now. If he tells Yelu Xiongji that the King of Fire of Daxia deliberately deliberately
He deceived Liao Da Yue Yelu Mo into entering the alliance area, and then captured and killed him. Your Highness...Yelu Xiongji is definitely not just a simple matter of being vigilant against Daxia."
"Even if Yelu Xiongji wants to attack with all his country's strength, if Daxia has a strong ally by his side, wouldn't he worry that the gains will outweigh the losses?"
Zhou Yangong waved his hand, and the maid who had just hid aside began to clean the platform. Zhou Yangong's guards threw the bodies of the Khitan people down, and then brought water to wash away the blood. Seeing that they had even prepared water,
It was obvious that he had planned to kill people a long time ago. The seats and tables were rearranged, and the platform was cleaned very clean. Although there was still a faint smell of blood in the air, at least it seemed to be gone.
of tragedy.
"Your Highness, can you please invite your deputy envoy and all the gentlemen to come up now, so that we can discuss the alliance in detail?"
Zhou Yangong made a gesture of invitation.
Li Shou stood there for three full minutes and finally nodded.
The Xixia officials boarded the platform, and the Han officials boarded the platform. The two parties sat down separately. The beautiful and graceful maid made tea again, and the aroma was lingering. They looked so calm and peaceful, as if nothing had happened.
However, the seemingly harmonious scene was soon broken by the quarrels between the two parties.
Ning Huan stood behind Zhou Yangong, lowering his head and admiring his hands narcissistically. Xi Ziyan stood inside the platform, more than ten meters away from the negotiation table, found a chair and sat down.
She looked at the officials who were shouting and arguing loudly and their faces turned red. She felt a little cold when she remembered what the King of Han had said before.
The King of Han said that there are no permanent enemies or permanent friends in this time. In the face of interests, enemies can turn into close friends, and friends can turn into unrelenting enemies.
Is this really the case?
Xi Ziyan looked at the excited expressions of those people, but he was thinking about another question.
If it is true that there are no eternal enemies and no eternal friends in this time... then what about between men and women? Is there the kind of relationship that will not change even if all the time is gone? Women in this time can find their own.
Is it beautiful? Or...if it doesn't last forever, a vigorous love will be beautiful, right?
Different people, different thoughts. While the adults were debating fiercely on small national matters such as borders and interests, Xi Ziyan was having a headache thinking about the important matter of the love between his children. (To be completed.)
