"Haha!" After listening to Qiu Zhen's words, Tang Yin's mood suddenly brightened, he laughed and exclaimed: "I have Qiu Zhen, which is better than having thousands of troops!"
In response to Tang Yin's praise, none of Xiao Muqing, Liang Qi, Ziying, and Guyue felt jealous or dissatisfied. They also admired Qiu Zhen's broad vision and long-term vision from the bottom of their hearts.
Guyue said with a smile: "Since it is dragging, it will be easy. I think our army should not be idle and farm on the spot. The land on the east bank of the Zhang River is both fertile and wasteland. We can be self-sufficient!"
Qiu Zhen nodded repeatedly and praised: "What General Gu Yue said is very true. It is very good to cultivate fields on the spot. Even if our army has to withdraw in the future, we can distribute the cultivated fields to the people. This will not only increase the grain production in Hedong, but also
Let the people of Hedong share and be grateful for the king's kindness."
Tang Yin reached out and tapped Qiu Zhen, walked around the table with a smile, sat back on the mat, and muttered: "You should have come to Hedong a long time ago!" He raised his eyes to look at Xiao Muqing and said: "Mu Qing, go and get Ning Guo there later.
The two envoys were sent away, and the peace negotiation was over! Oh, by the way, try to be polite in your words, and give them some gold and silver as a reward. It is best to use words to hint to them that although our army does not accept the peace negotiation,
, but we don’t plan to continue heading west.”
"You will finally understand." Xiao Muqing said with a hand.
Tang Yin thought for a while and felt that there was nothing else to arrange. He waved his hands and said, "You guys should step aside first. Qiu Zhen and I still have some private matters to discuss."
Everyone was full of wonder, not knowing what private matter Tang Yin and Qiu Zhen wanted to discuss, but they didn't dare to ask. People stood up one after another, bowed to Tang Yin and left.
After the four people left, only Tang Yin, Qiu Zhen and the Shangguan brothers were left on both sides of the tent like wooden stakes.
Tang Yin waved to Qiu Zhen and said, "Qiu Zhen, come and sit down."
Qiu Zhen was also very curious and wanted to know what Tang Yin wanted to talk to him. He picked up the mattress under his buttocks, moved it to the side of the handsome case, sat next to Tang Yin, and then asked: "Your Majesty, what can I do?"
Tang Yin smiled and said, "You boasted that you were very talented and knowledgeable. Today I will test you on something."
Qiu Zhen smiled. He had indeed evaluated himself this way when he and Tang Yin met for the first time. He didn't expect that Tang Yin would still remember it after so long. He asked with a smile: "I wonder what the king wants to test for Wei Chen?"
"What do you know about poisons?"
"Poison?" Qiu Zhen didn't expect that Tang Yin would suddenly ask this. He looked confused and said cautiously: "I know a little bit about it."
"Then do you know which animal's venom can lie dormant for a long time after being ingested by a person, without causing an attack for more than ten days or even months?" Tang Yin stared at Qiu Zhen with his eyes wide open.
Qiu Zhen held his chin, pondered for a long time, and then said: "There are countless poisons in the world. There are too many poisons that will kill people immediately after being ingested. But if you want to say that there is no attack for more than ten days or even months, few
It’s also very rare, only a handful. Often such highly toxic attacks require a trigger.”
"Oh?" Tang Yin perked up and asked, "Tell me in detail. By the way, this poison cannot be detected with silver."
Qiu Zhen fell into deep thought again. He couldn't detect it with silver, and he could hide for so long... After a while, Qiu Zhen showed a bitter smile, cupped his hands to Tang Yin and said: "Your Majesty, I forgive you for your lack of talent and knowledge. This kind of poison can only be used by me."
I know one."
Tang Yin asked: "Which one?"
"As far as I know, there is a poison called the Golden Frog. The skin of this frog will secrete a highly toxic substance. This poison is colorless and odorless. When put into food and drinks, a silver needle cannot detect it. Moreover, after being ingested by someone,
, it is not harmful to the human body and will always remain in the body. However, once the human body is traumatized, even if the skin is punctured by a very fine needle, the poison will attack immediately. There is no cure and it will kill you in three sounds. Because of this
With its incredible properties, this poison is called 'blood seals the throat'!"
"Three shots to kill?"
"Just after counting one, two, and three, the person will be dead."
"Oh!" Tang Yin responded thoughtfully, then lowered his head, rolled his eyes, and was silent. Knowing that Tang Yin was thinking about something, Qiu Zhen didn't bother him and sat aside silently. I don't know how long it took, but Tang Yin's eyes
Suddenly he lit up, raised the corner of his mouth, and said faintly: "I understand, no wonder you do this, no wonder you talk about this, hum, what a cunning thief!"
Tang Yin waved his hand and signaled Qiu Zhen to wait, then he raised his head and shouted: "Here comes someone!"
Following his words, the guards outside quickly entered the tent. Tang Yin said: "Find General Cheng Jincheng to come see me immediately!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
After the guards went out, Tang Yin explained in detail to Qiu Zhen in a low voice.
Qiu Zhen arrived at the Fengjun camp. A few days passed. The holy ceremony was approaching day by day, and Tang Yin was also preparing to leave for Qingyuan City. The night before leaving the camp, Tang Yin specially invited all the generals in the camp to have dinner together.
Although the banquet was held in a military camp, it was still very sumptuous, and there were many types of dishes, including those flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the water. The aroma was filled inside and outside the camp.
Inside the tent, Tang Yin was sitting in the middle, and the generals were sitting on both sides. A bonfire was lit in the center of the tent, with a fat roasted whole lamb on top.
There were no maids in the military camp, so Tang Yin's guards took on the role of maids, serving food and wine for everyone. At this time, even the injured Shangguan Yuanrang and Wu Guang arrived. In order to take care of their bodies, Tang Yin also
I specially placed two soft bags in the big tent.
Seeing that everyone had arrived and chatted happily, Tang Yin cleared his throat and immediately picked up the wine glass. Seeing this, everyone immediately stopped talking and focused their eyes on Tang Yin. At the same time, they also picked up the wine glasses.
stand up.
Tang Yin took a deep breath, stood up, and said seriously: "The first glass of wine is for our soldiers who died in the battle in Hedong!" As he spoke, he turned his wrist and slowly poured the wine in the cup.
On the ground.
"Honor the heroes of our army!" Everyone stood up in unison, followed Tang Yin's example, and sprinkled wine on the ground.
Tang Yin looked around at everyone, nodded slightly, then waved his hands and said, "Generals, please take a seat!"
Everyone raised their hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Tang Yin poured a second glass of wine and said to everyone: "This second glass of wine, I respect you all brothers. In this battle, I, Dafeng, can successfully regain Hedong, all thanks to your bloody battles, life and death, I will do it first as a tribute!"
As he spoke, he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.
"General, please pay homage to your Majesty!"
Tang Yin asked with a smile: "Brothers, tell me how our army has been doing since the battle in Hedong?"
Xiao Muqing seemed to be afraid of being upstaged by others and losing the opportunity to flatter him, so he hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful. Under your leadership, our army has won consecutive victories, defeated the Ning Army, and recovered the entire Hedong. Your Majesty's achievements are far behind."
The previous monarchs of Shengfeng Kingdom can be called the first person in the history of Dafeng for thousands of years!"
Phew! Everyone around him almost spit out the wine he just drank. Although people have long been accustomed to Xiao Muqing's flattery, it is obvious that his skills in flattery are still improving day by day, and now his exaggeration is simply boundless. Tang Yin laughed loudly.
The laugh was made by Xiao Muqing. He nodded at Xiao Muqing and said with a smile: "Mu Qing's tongue is as good as the commander of the army in battle, which is very good!"
"Hehe! Your Majesty, thank you!" Xiao Muqing didn't care what others thought of her, as long as she could please Tang Yin.
Tang Yin slowly stopped smiling, sighed quietly, and said: "Mu Qing, I am not as powerful as you said! This time in the battle against Ning, I only regained Hedong, but failed to destroy Ning!"
Everyone looked at each other and smiled helplessly. Until now, the king is still thinking about Miening. In fact, from the heart, people don't have much hope for Miening, and they are not very active in this matter. After all, the Nine Major
The vassal states have coexisted for more than a thousand years, and the framework is very stable. If one country wants to annex another country, it is an impossible task. If the wind could destroy Ning, it would have been destroyed long ago. Why wait until now?
Tang Yin understood what everyone was thinking, and he wanted to take this opportunity to discuss the matter carefully today.
He turned to look at Yuan Fang, who was sitting at the end, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Yuan Fang, what do you think of our Feng Kingdom's destruction of Ning?"
Yuan Fang's current official position is equivalent to that of a staff officer in the army, and his rank is the smallest among everyone. He did not expect that Tang Yin would suddenly throw this question to him. After being stunned for a while, Yuan Fang raised his hand and said, "Go back to your Majesty, destroy Ning."
Not easy!"
Tang Yin nodded and said: "It's not easy! You are from Ning, so from the perspective of Ning State, is it possible for Feng State to destroy Ning?"
Yuan Fang frowned secretly, and slowly clenched his fists. He was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "Wei Chen's abilities are limited, so I dare not speak nonsense."
Tang Yin smiled and said: "As the saying goes, in the world's major events, if we unite for a long time, we will divide, and if we divide for a long time, we will unite! The princes in the empire have been divided for thousands of years. For the sake of land and cities, all the princes have been fighting for years. The wars are constant, the people are in dire straits, and the lives of the people are in ruins. If there is a person
Wouldn't it be great to be able to stand up, end these disputes and separatism, cancel the division of vassal states, and unify the world? This is also a blessing for the people of the world!"
Hearing this, everyone present was stunned. Everyone stared at Tang Yin with wide eyes, including Qiu Zhen. When the king said this, did he intend to destroy the Eight Kingdoms and let the Feng Kingdom dominate the world? This is too much.
It’s incredible, and a bit whimsical!
As if he could read everyone's thoughts, Tang Yin smiled lightly and said faintly: "This is not a fantasy! I must destroy the Ning country, and destroying Ning is only the first step! All generals have followed me and started from scratch, and now they are here.
As important ministers of the country, have they also begun to covet comfort and lose the original momentum? When a man is alive, he should be vigorous, make great achievements, and create immortal achievements. If there is no chance, that's it. But now
The opportunity is right in front of us. If our hands are only used to grab food to fill our stomachs every day, instead of holding swords to kill enemies, what else can we do with them? I believe that as long as all brothers can lend their hands to us,
Give it to me and follow me to conquer the world, then the world will be like the things in our bag!"
