A group of members of the mission hurriedly waved their hands and refused in unison.
As Prime Minister Li and Ximen learned from the past, they didn't even dare to say anything, for fear that Lu Xiaoyue would seize the opportunity and force them to perform.
In fact, performances are not terrible. If they were in the Western Shang Kingdom, in front of the king, they would be eager to perform for the king every day to please the king.
But this is Hanling Kingdom! And they have to do it in front of the people of Hanling Kingdom. Isn't this to let the people of Hanling Kingdom see their ugly appearance?
This is simply a public execution!
If this spreads out, I'm afraid it will be uncomfortable even to the point of death.
Thinking of this, everyone looked at Ximen, with endless sympathy in their eyes.
Ximen Yue also realized this and looked at his colleagues pitifully, hoping that they could help and say a few words to avoid this program.
However, after their colleagues sympathized, they had no plans for the next step. They all looked as if they had not seen him and turned their heads elsewhere.
Prime Minister Li Shenghui did not dare to say more... After all, he barely escaped by declaring the danger of total destruction. How could he be sent up again?
"Okay, since you don't want to perform, then just watch from the sidelines and see if our Hanling Kingdom's grand event is more exciting than your Xishang Kingdom's!" After Lu Xiaoyue said this, he waved directly.
He waved his hand and asked his martial arts disciples to come up and take away all the members of the mission.
Only then did the members of the mission realize that they had fallen into the opponent's trap without even realizing it.
"We haven't agreed yet?" someone retorted loudly.
"I know! You don't want to perform your talent, so just watch it! I'm not forcing you, do you also want to perform your talent?" When Lu Xiaoyue said this, she looked up and down at the speaker, and saw that the other person seemed quite interested.
Strong, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked loudly: "Looking at you, it seems that you are very suitable for performing the chest-breaking stone. It seems that you can't wait to show off, right?"
"Okay! I agree! After Ximen is finished hosting, you will be the first to perform your talent!" Lu Xiaoyue arranged the person without any explanation.
As soon as these words came out, all the members of the mission were dumbfounded.
The man looked like he wanted to die, his eyes turned white, his legs were weak, and he was on the verge of collapse.
Ximen Yue supports the ceremony, which is actually not a particularly shameful thing. After all, he is an official of the Ministry of Rites and was responsible for this when he was in the Xishang Kingdom. He is considered a professional counterpart.
But the person speaking here, although he looks very strong, his real position is that of a public speaker, that is, someone who relies exclusively on talking words to get to the position. If you let him break a big stone in his chest, wouldn't it cost his life!
"No...no..." He was about to retort, but the Prime Minister Li Shenghui suddenly jumped out and covered his mouth with his hand.
"Okay, stop talking! That's it. If you have such talent, just go up and perform... When I get back, I will definitely tell the monarch about this. The monarch will not forget your contribution."
As Li Shenghui spoke, he frantically used his eyes to hint to the other person to stop talking.
Although the man was not very bright, he still understood Li Shenghui's hint. After thinking about it for a while, he finally nodded with difficulty.
"Okay... I'll perform!" he responded bitterly.
Seeing this scene, Lu Xiaoyue suddenly laughed.
"Okay, this is over, go back." Lu Xiaoyue waved to his martial arts disciples, asking them to follow him, then turned around and left.
The martial arts disciples followed her, listening carefully and nodding their heads one by one.
In the pavilion, only the members of the Western Shang Kingdom's mission remained.
They watched Lu Xiaoyue leave, each one looking at each other, not knowing what to do.
Originally, they came with a mission and took the initiative, but Lu Xiaoyue led them astray and took them to the celebration ceremony.
This so-called celebration, you don’t need to look at it to know that it is the Hongmen Banquet, the kind where you go and never come back.
Now they can't help themselves and can't even think about it.
"What to do? What to do?"
While Lu Xiaoyue left and the martial arts disciples had not taken them away, the envoys formed a group to discuss anxiously.
"Leave it to fate!" One of the more pessimistic members said nonchalantly.
As soon as these words came out, everyone around him immediately stared at him angrily.
Li Shenghui also glared at the man and cursed in a low voice: "What nonsense are you talking about! No matter what, we must find a way to delay this negotiation as much as possible!"
"This is actually not difficult..."
A voice came faintly from the corner, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
Everyone looked over and found that the person speaking was actually the man from the Cheng family.
He caught Lu Xiaoyue's attention from the beginning, but later he remained silent, silently acting like a statue.
Now that Lu Xiaoyue is gone, he can finally stand up and speak.
"What do you mean? It's not difficult, you should tell me!" The Yan Guan who was named by Lu Xiaoyue to perform the performance of breaking a stone in his chest asked angrily.
"Tch! We all came here with our own missions. Before we came, we all had the consciousness to put life and death aside. In this case, why not play a big game?" The man from the Cheng family said a little crazily.
"Playing big?" Everyone was stunned for a moment, but they quickly came to their senses and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
"Hiss, hiss... no!" Prime Minister Li Shenghui was the first to stand up and object: "We are here to hold Lu Xiaoyue back, not to fight them. Do you want to kill us?"
The so-called playing big, you don't need to think about it to know that it is a crazy plan.
Whether this kind of plan succeeds or fails, there is a high probability that you will have to gamble with your life.
It's okay to succeed, but if it fails, not only will your life be lost, but the original delay plan will also be ruined.
This is not what he wants, nor is it what the king wants.
However, Cheng Lu's younger brother Cheng Tu ignored the Prime Minister's objection at all, and just smiled coldly and said: "The Prime Minister has not even heard of my plan, why did he object so quickly? Isn't the Prime Minister unwilling to risk it for the Western Shang Kingdom?"
Are you in danger?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent and no one dared to speak.
The conflict between the Cheng family and the Li family has existed since ancient times, and this generation has become even more intense. In the past, Cheng Lu and Li Shenghui were tit for tat, attacking each other at every turn. Now that Cheng Lu is gone, this burden has been handed over to Cheng Tu.
Now, they start again.
Li Shenghui glared at the other party fiercely. He did not expect that Cheng Tu would dare to attack him in this situation. Fortunately, he had tried his best to defend the other party before. Now that he thought about it, all his previous good intentions were gone.
"Then tell me! If you can't come up with a good plan, get out of here!" Li Shenghui said angrily.
