Gu Zhengbang had already whispered his thoughts to Liu Lang.
Liu Lang frowned slightly, thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Well, just do what Gu Aiqing said!"
After saying that, Liu Lang walked back to the dragon chair, turned around and sat down in a graceful manner.
Gu Zhengbang bowed to Liu Lang and bowed his hands, then turned around and walked towards the five people from Pitz.
Seeing this scene, all the civil and military officials in the palace became quiet. They were all curious about what the emperor discussed with Gu Zhengbang and what would happen next.
Gu Zhengbang stopped not far from Heng Saer and the others, and then said to a pair of forbidden soldiers surrounding them: "The emperor has ordered you to retreat first!"
The Imperial Guards listened to the order, immediately sheathed their sabers, and then retreated outside the gate of Tianhe Palace in an orderly manner.
Heng Saer and others all looked at Gu Zhengbang, wanting to hear what he would say next.
Gu Zhengbang looked at Heng Saer calmly and said: "If I am not mistaken, you should be the deputy envoy of the Piz State Mission, General Heng Saar, right?"
Heng Saar nodded calmly and said: "Yes! I am Heng Saar. May I ask who this gentleman is..."
Gu Zhengbang introduced himself: "I, Gu Zhengbang, am the commander of the Wude Department in the capital. I have heard the name of General Hengsar for a long time!"
"Oh!" Heng Saer's expression changed slightly, he looked at Gu Zhengbang again, nodded and said: "So you are the commander of Wude Division, disrespectful."
Gu Zhengbang did not continue the greetings, but said bluntly: "General Hengsal, as far as I know, the country of Piz has always worshiped, obeyed, and respected the strong. Isn't Gu right?"
Heng Saer said: "Yes, it seems that Commander Gu is no stranger to the situation in our country of Piz!"
"It's not bad. When I had nothing to do, I heard someone tell me some things about Piz Country." Gu Zhengbang said.
Heng Saer immediately said: "In that case, Commander Gu must also know that people from the Pitz country are not allowed to kneel down and worship, right?"
Gu Zhengbang did not answer directly, but said: "Gu heard that the people of Pitz are brave and good at fighting. If people encounter differences and cannot convince each other, they can engage in force duels.
After a duel, the losing party must obey the orders issued by the winning party, isn’t this true?”
Hearing this, Heng Saar seemed to understand something and nodded: "Commander Gu is right. Duels are indeed the tradition of our country of Piz. The strong dominates everything. This is understandable!"
"That's good!" Gu Zhengbang responded in a serious tone.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Zhengbang said: "In that case, please ask General Hengsar to send warriors to have a duel with the masters of our Dasheng Kingdom. If you win, not only will you not have to kneel down in front of the palace today, but also in the future, Pi
The envoys from this country can enjoy the privilege of not having to kneel down when they come to Beijing!"
As soon as Gu Zhengbang finished speaking, the officials in the palace started talking, but if you look closely, most of the people talking were civilian officials, while the military attachés were more unified, and most of them nodded and thought it was feasible.
Since you can't convince the other party, then use your strength to solve the problem, and listen to whoever is stronger!
Heng Saer's brows suddenly frowned. This was the first time he had seen this expression, even when he was surrounded by the Imperial Guards with swords drawn just now.
Hamoda had long disliked the people of Shengguo, and when he heard this, he was immediately ready to act. He took a step forward and whispered to Hengsal: "General, promise them, let me teach them a lesson!
"
Although Hamoda spoke Piz Mandarin, which Gu Zhengbang couldn't understand, Gu Zhengbang could guess the meaning of Hamoda's words just by looking at his expression.
Longchebowa also said to Hengsal: "Lord Hengsal, this idea is feasible!"
Ronchebois thought this was a good idea from the bottom of his heart, because no matter whether he won or lost, this was a good step forward. Otherwise, if he was really caught by the Forbidden Army, things would really get complicated!
Heng Saer raised his hand and waved away Hammoda behind him, then glanced at Longchebowa and asked Gu Zhengbang: "Commander Gu, what if you win?"
Gu Zhengbang said loudly: "Simple, if we win, your Pitz delegation will have to kneel down to our emperor in front of all the civil and military officials. Remember, this kneeling ceremony is not about kneeling down on one knee, but
You have to kneel down on both legs and kowtow!"
Heng Saer smiled slightly after hearing this, thought about it quickly in his mind, and said: "Okay, we accept the duel!"
"As expected of General Heng Saer, he is indeed a cheerful person!" Gu Zhengbang immediately complimented.
Heng Saer then asked: "May I ask Commander Gu, whether victory or defeat will be determined by one game or multiple games?"
Gu Zhengbang was still hesitating about the number of games when he heard Liu Lang, who was sitting on the throne behind him, say: "I don't have time to waste, let's just win or lose in one game!"
Gu Zhengbang immediately said: "General Hengsar, you heard it too. Our emperor said that one session is enough!"
Heng Saer did not object, nodded and said: "Okay, let's have one! May I ask Emperor Sheng, do you want to fight here?"
Liu Lang said with a sullen face: "Nonsense! Where were you in Hedian that day? Is it possible for people to fight at will?"
After a pause, Liu Lang thought of a place and said: "Let's go to Jiu'an Palace! I will have a banquet there for the officials in a while. You can have a good competition in front of everyone!"
Heng Saer immediately nodded and responded loudly: "Okay!"
When Liu Lang heard the other party's promise, he turned to look at Pei Yang and said: "Pass the order, all go to Jiu'an Palace!"
Pei Yang immediately stepped forward and sang at the top of his voice: "The emperor has a decree, all civil and military officials will go to Jiu'an Palace immediately!"
As soon as the voice fell, the civil and military officials in Tianhe Hall began to walk out of the hall in an orderly manner.
Gu Zhengbang turned around and called a eunuch and ordered: "Take the envoy from the Piz Kingdom to Jiu'an Palace to prepare for the duel!"
"Yes, Sir Commander!" the eunuch immediately agreed with his hands raised.
Gu Zhengbang looked at Heng Saer and the others, and gestured with his right hand to the outside of the hall, saying: "Guys, please go get ready first!"
Hengsal smiled and nodded, then walked out of the palace with Longchebowa, Hamoda and others, and the eunuch hurriedly followed.
When the ministers were leaving the Tianhe Hall one after another, Liu Lang also stood up and walked to the back hall. Sun Luochang and several old generals took the opportunity to come forward and said with cupped hands: "Your Majesty, who do you plan to let go to fight?"
Liu Lang stood still, thought for a while and then asked: "Does General Sun have anyone to recommend?"
Sun Luochang said: "Your Majesty, the old minister just watched carefully. In this duel, the country of Piz will most likely send that big man with a beard on the stage, so we'd better send someone tall and strong who is on par with him."
Go and challenge, otherwise the huge difference in body shape, strength, etc. may cause disadvantages!"
An old general standing by said: "Your Majesty, I think General Sun is right. This battle is related to our Dasheng's face, so we can only win but not lose. We must choose a warrior who is sure of victory!"
"
Liu Lang nodded very seriously and said: "Yes, the two old generals are right, the candidates for the duel must be carefully selected!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Sun Luochang say: "Your Majesty, I want to recommend my grandson. Sun Xingba went to challenge me!"
"Oh?" Liu Lang was slightly surprised.
An old general said: "Back to the emperor, I think it is feasible. General Sun's grandson is nine feet tall, strong and strong, and he was actually the number one warrior when he served in the Imperial Guard!"
Liu Lang nodded and said: "Yes, when you said that, I also remembered that the grandson of General Sun is indeed very powerful and has few rivals in the Forbidden Army!"
When Sun Luochang heard this, he was extremely happy. He immediately raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I will send someone to call my grandson so that he can prepare for the battle."
After saying that, Sun Luochang was about to go out of the palace.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, Sun Luochang was stopped by Gu Zhengbang: "Old General Sun, please stay..."
"Is there any problem, Commander Gu?" Sun Luochang asked.
Gu Zhengbang said seriously: "Old General Sun, please forgive Zhengbang for speaking frankly. Although your grandson Sun Xingba is brave and brave, he is not suitable for fighting today!"
Sun Luochang's face suddenly darkened and he asked: "Commander Gu, what do you mean by this? Do you have a better candidate?"
Gu Zhengbang nodded and said: "Old General Sun, please be patient for a moment. Please tell me a name. I believe the old general will know it."
