Devil’s Advent

To put it bluntly, a mission between the two countries is no different from a fight between two gangs. No matter what, you can't lose your momentum.

Especially now that the Yan army is still occupying a good situation, it is natural to be as crazy as you want. The more aggressive you are, the more you will be afraid of you. The most important thing is this mission. The great achievement in front of him turned into a crime of humiliating the country in an instant.

The Yan people are too proud, and it is absolutely impossible to allow their envoys to be angry outside but secretly swallow the good name of taking care of the overall situation.

However, you still have to control the speed. If you go too far, you may not be able to leave the city. The heat is still in your heart.

Zheng Fan's unscrupulous attitude really made the people around him a little at a loss. In the past, the envoys of the two countries had frequent exchanges, but no matter what, such a "head iron" is like a ruthless envoy on the street. It's still the first time I've seen it.

"Swallow dog!!!"

The young general was really about to rush forward with a knife in his hand, but he was stopped by people on both sides.

"Don't stop me, don't stop me, I'm going to cut off this Yangou's head!"

Shao Wenjie can't keep silent at this time, otherwise, what will be lost is not the Yan people's face but the Gan people's face, although he can't say now, what is left of the Qian country that was invaded by the enemy soldiers? Face.

"General Zu, His Majesty summoned the envoy of Yan Kingdom, and he will not retreat!"

General Zu?

Zheng Fan remembered that there was still a Zu Dongcheng tied up in his army, and another surnamed Zu appeared here. Is it a Zu family?

At this time, the blind man's voice sounded from Zheng Fan's heart:

"My lord, if there is no accident, this person should be from the southeast ancestral family. Zu Dongcheng, the eldest son of the ancestral family, was detained in our army, but Zu Zhuming's second son was sent to prison very early. Leaving Shangjing to serve as the captain of the Forbidden Army, which is a bit similar to the meaning of proton.

He is so excited right now, probably because he thinks that his brother has died at the hands of our army. "

The blind man has spent so many files these days chatting with those captive officials of the Gan country, naturally it is not in vain, it is like interpreting an encyclopedia, saving Zheng Fan's eyes from being blinded when he comes in.

After knowing it,

Zheng Fan hurriedly said:

"This one, is General Xiaozu?"

"Swallow dog! Swallow dog!"

Zu Dongling continued to curse while struggling.

"General Xiaozu, I think there must be some misunderstanding between us. Brother Ling and I hit it off right away, and we have sworn brothers with different surnames. Logically, I should also be your elder brother."

When Zu Dongling heard this, he was stunned, and many people present were also stunned.

Shao Wenjie thought inwardly that he was not good, and hurriedly said:

"General Zu, step back!"

"My elder brother isn't dead yet? He's not dead yet?" Zu Dongling shouted a little excitedly.

Shao Wenjie was anxious, how could these things be asked in front of so many people now?

Zheng Fan nodded and said:

"Brother Ling is naturally fine, and my Lord Marquis also appreciates Brother Ling's talent and learning. These days, he often exchanges with Brother Ling about the methods of military training.

My Lord Hou also said that the method of training soldiers of the ancestors is unparalleled in the world, and it is worthy of the Southeast Pillar Kingdom! "

No matter how blunt Zu Dongling's mind was at the moment, he could sense something was wrong.

Zheng Fan didn't care anyway, he sprinkled jar after jar of free eye drops.

"The silver-armored guards listen to the order. His Majesty has an order to lead the envoys of Yan to see him. Anyone who dares to stop him will be killed without mercy!"

The silver armored guard immediately drew out his saber and pointed it around.

Shao Wenjie breathed a sigh of relief, squinted at Zheng Fan, and secretly sighed in his heart, although this envoy from Yan didn't look like an envoy at all, but he was unexpectedly flexible in doing the work of an envoy.

Zu Dongling didn't dare to stop him anymore, Zheng Fan got into the carriage, the silver armored guard cleared the way, and entered the palace directly.

The curtains in the car are opened, but it is still a wooden board, a bit similar to the express hotels without windows in the later generations, but in order to prevent you from being so depressed, it is deliberately made in the form of a window.

Presumably, this is because he doesn't want himself to see the real situation in Shangjing at this time.

In fact, this kind of concealment is a kind of concealment. If the soldiers and civilians in the capital are united to resist foreign humiliation, why would they hide it from you?

Zheng Fan leaned against the back of the car, chose a more comfortable position, and asked the blind man who was sitting in the car together, saying:

"how?"

Blind Bei said calmly: "People are in panic."

Zheng Fan nodded, the expected result.

When the carriage came to the gate of the palace, he didn't ask to get out of the carriage for inspection, but turned directly in and drove for a while.

After about a stick of incense, the carriage stopped.

Shao Wenjie lifted the curtain,

road:

"Emissary Yan, please get out of the car."

Zheng Fan got out of the carriage, but before the blind man and A Ming in the carriage got down, the carriage started to drive again.

"Emissary Yan, your followers will wait for you with some refreshments."

Zheng Fan nodded calmly. In fact, he began to feel a little flustered in his heart, as if he did a cheat sheet all night before the exam and found that he didn't bring the cheat sheet before entering the exam room.

However, if you come here, you will be at peace, and you are already here, and you are afraid, but it is useless, let alone interesting.

Here, it should be the second half of the imperial palace. Generally speaking, the first half of the imperial palace is actually used for offices, while the second half is where the emperor and his concubines live.

The imperial palace of Qian Kingdom is very luxurious, even if viewed from the eyes of modern people, it is still shocking enough.

The wealth of the dry country is really well-deserved.

Going forward, when they were about to pass a courtyard, Shao Wenjie made a gesture of invitation, and a young eunuch appeared in front of him. The two handed over, and the little eunuch lit a lantern, signaling Zheng Fan to follow him.

Aren't you going to see civil and military officials?

In Zheng Fan's original idea, he might face the civil and martial arts of the Qian Kingdom in the court hall, and he would have to fight with the heroes.

But obviously, this step seems to be skipped.

After following the little eunuch for another distance, the little eunuch stopped in front of an arch, bowed slightly, and took a few steps back.

Zheng Fan nodded and walked straight in.

just go in,

Zheng Fan saw a female captain in silver armor appearing in front of him,

"Emissary Yan, offended."

Zheng Fan didn't resist, and stretched his hands.

This feeling is similar to going through airport security checks in later generations.

What's more, she is still a female silver armor guard, she is okay, she doesn't resist, and her hands are still soft.

Zheng Fan didn't have a weapon on him, so the only thing that might affect him was the magic pill in his clothes.

But magic pill is a chicken thief,

When the silver armored guard's hand checked the top, the magic pill went down.

When the silver armored guard's hand checked the bottom, Mowan went up from behind again in a detour.

From the beginning to the end, it was silent and without the slightest breath. This is probably the magic pill's ability, because it is a soul body, and it is in a self-seal, so it is difficult to detect it.

Unless this silver armor guard is like a blind man, or a spiritual magician that is said to exist in the West.

After the inspection, the female silver armored guard withdrew.

Zheng Fan continued to move forward,

After passing through a corridor, I came to a warm room.

Because, standing at this door, you can feel a heat wave, like walking into a sauna.

He looked left and right, and found no one to direct and guide him, so Zheng Fan pushed the door open.

There is no charcoal basin in the house, but it is indeed very warm. The floor is covered with expensive carpets, and the furnishings inside are not only exquisite but also give a very comfortable feeling when matched.

Perhaps it was because he was a painter in his previous life, so Zheng Fan was very sensitive to the matching and design of this kind of picture sense. At first glance, he felt that this was the arrangement of a famous artist, reflecting the taste of the owner.

"Come in quickly and close the door, don't let the cold wind come in."

Inside, came a man's voice, with a little laziness.

If you can speak in this tone in this position in the palace, there must be no one else except that one.

Zheng Fan let out a breath, walked in, closed the door, turned around, walked around the screen in the direction of the sound.

"Clatter..."

The sound of water waves came,

Immediately afterwards,

Zheng Fan saw a middle-aged man in a Taoist robe with wet hair coming out from behind.

"Foreign ministers and envoys, Zheng Fan, see His Majesty the Emperor Qian!"

Zheng Fan did not kneel down, but bowed.

Qianhuang looks like he is in his forties. He may be a few years younger than Yanhuang, but he must pay more attention to maintenance than Yanhuang.

"Calm down, there is food and drink here, if you are thirsty or hungry, you can eat by yourself."

After all,

Qianhuang personally walked to an incense burner, chose sandalwood and lit it, and after lighting it, he fanned it gently with his palm and sniffed it, with a satisfied look on his face.

Zheng Fan was also polite, and walked to the table, where there were a lot of food, most of which were actually cold dishes and pastries, many of which were categories that Zheng Fan had never seen before.

I chose some, picked them up and put them in my mouth. Not to mention, the taste is really good, not worse than the cakes of later generations.

Immediately afterwards,

Zheng Fan poured himself another glass of wine. The wine was red, it should be wine, and there were still ice cubes in a jar next to it.

After drinking the chilled wine, the whole person feels at ease.

Zheng Fan simply stood there, concentrating on the food in front of him.

Taste this, take two bites of that,

tut tut

When bumpkins come to the city, they are really not afraid of being laughed at. Anyway, they only get the face after eating it. How much is it worth?

Besides, there are only myself and Qianhuang in the room here, and I am not afraid of spreading the news about my good looks and worthless appearance.

"Is there a shortage of food in your Yan people's army? It's not right to starve you. It stands to reason that the captured food should be a lot. It shouldn't be short of food."

Emperor Qian asked while reclining on the armchair holding a string of bodhi in his hand.

Zheng Fan swallowed the food in his mouth and said:

"There is no shortage of food in the army, but Your Majesty should know that it is thankful that the food in the army is full. It is really not as fine as your Majesty's here."

"It seems that you are still a delicious master."

"In life, there are only two things that are most beautiful, one is food and the other is beauty."

"It's a bit biased, but it can be regarded as telling the appearance of all living beings, but in this world, besides food and beautiful women, there are actually many better things."

"But only people like you, Your Majesty, can pursue it."

Zheng Fan grabbed a handful of green granules that looked like raisins but didn't taste like raisins at all, walked over, and sat down on the blanket in front of Emperor Qian.

The Taoist robe on Qianhuang's body was meant to be worn, and it was not buttoned up, revealing a lot of white flesh.

To be honest, it seems a little uncomfortable for a man to show his flesh in front of you.

"Oh, tell me, what is the purpose of a person's life?"

Zheng Fan silently ate what was in his hands.

"Why aren't you talking?" Qianhuang asked.

"In this world, many people can only think about what they will eat tomorrow, but they can't imagine it being so far-reaching."

"Oh, I get it, you mean, is there something I'm talking about with you on purpose?"

Zheng Fan nodded.

Emperor Qian's dress was indeed a bit too relaxed, but it was a bit too deliberate to relax at this time.

Furthermore, Zheng Fan came here with the intention of angering the emperor and his ministers. Now that the ministers can't see him, they can only see the emperor, so he can only make the emperor angry first.

However, you have to be careful that you won't be beheaded by the emperor in a fit of anger.

"I actually do this every day, and it's not specially prepared for you."

"Your Majesty is really very interested."

"Where's Ji Runhao, he can't be as chic as me, can he?"

"Conscientious and conscientious." Zheng Fan sighed, glanced around, and said, "Your Majesty, this is really the life of an emperor."

"Have you thought about it?"

Zheng Fan shook his head.

"Really don't want to?"

"I really don't want to."

"Why?"

"Because it's only a few days away."

"Hahahahaha..."

Qianhuang laughed loudly, the laughter echoed in the room, and tears seemed to flow from the laughter.

Zheng Fan got up, went there to get another plate of pastries, walked over, sat down, and continued eating.

"Why didn't you ask me why I laughed earlier?"

"Your Majesty is trying to cover up his gaffe. If the foreign minister asks again, won't he expose His Majesty's shortcomings?"

"Interesting, interesting, you, envoy from Yan, are really interesting. There are countless foreign envoys who come to Beijing every year, and I have seen quite a few. You are the first one who is so interesting."

"Actually, the foreign minister didn't plan to come, but there is no way. No one thought that he would hit Shangjing just like that. It was too late for the official envoy to come from Shangjing, so he had to let the foreign minister, Qiu Ba, drive the duck to the shelves. Come in and say hello to Your Majesty."

"That's really fate."

"Yes, fate."

"Your surname is Zheng, right?"

"yes."

"In the country of Yan, what kind of official do you do?"

"Cuiliu Fort in Yinlang County is on guard."

"Tsk, I've heard of you. Was it you, the little guy who attacked Mianzhou City last time? You also wrote the sentence about visiting here."

"Your Majesty laughed at me. At the beginning, the ministers just wanted to come and have a look. Who knew that someone with such enthusiasm would be difficult to turn down, so they went in for a sit-down."

"You cut off King Fu's head, right?"

"yes."

"I'm just curious, a head of King Fu, can't you be promoted?

How come it's still just a garrison? "

"Fuwang's head is not very valuable." After speaking, Zheng Fan set his eyes on Qianhuang's head.

Xu Shi had just come out of the pool, and the Emperor Qian's head was still steaming.

Seeing this, Qianhuang pointed to his head and said:

"want to?"

Zheng Fan swallowed, and nodded honestly.

"I'm very curious, if you take my head, what kind of military merits can it be exchanged for in the country of Yan?"

Zheng Fan replied without hesitation:

"Feng Hou."

"Huh! This is really valuable. I know it. You, the Marquis of Yan, have different surnames, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"I'm sitting here, why don't you come and get it?"

Zheng Fan shook his head and said, "Because the ministers don't know if His Majesty knows martial arts."

"I don't practice martial arts."

"The style of Qi refiners is prevalent in the dry country."

"I actually don't believe in these vain astrology and geomantic theories."

"That………"

"Forget this and that, I'm telling you clearly, I'm just a waste."

Zheng Fan looked around,

"Don't look, there is no one else hiding nearby except for the woman you saw when you first came in, I deliberately left those husbands aside and went to see you alone.

That woman is only a ninth-rank warrior, and the reason why she is by my side is because I think she looks good. "

"this………"

"Why, why don't you do it?"

"Kill you, Your Majesty, and I will not be able to leave this city."

"Hehehe, hahahahaha..."

Qianhuang laughed again, he couldn't help but patted the armrest of the chair under him, and said:

"You, are you afraid of death?"

"Of course I'm afraid of death."

"I thought you Yan people were not afraid of death at all. Are you Yan people?"

"right."

"Then you won't kill me?"

"Your Majesty invited foreign ministers to dinner, how could foreign ministers do such a thing?"

You said there is no master without a master? You say you are a waste is a waste? You said that woman outside is just a concubine of the ninth rank?

"Okay, let's get down to business."

"Right here?"

"Yes, right here."

Zheng Fan reached out and took out the document from his arms. The document had been checked by the woman before.

Emperor Qian reached out to take the document, and was not in a hurry to open it to read.

Instead, he put it on his face and sniffed gently,

road:

"You can't put on a little pretense. It's fine if it's not that Ji Runhao wrote the national book himself. The ink hasn't dried out yet."

Zheng Fan blushed.

"hehe."

Emperor Qian didn't open the document, he threw the document aside, and asked instead:

"What kind of woman does Zheng Aiqing like?"

"ah?"

"I'm asking you something, tell me."

"Your Majesty, aren't you talking about business?"

"In my opinion, this matter is also the right thing."

"Your Majesty, the ministers are shy."

"Men, let's chat casually, fat and thin, handsome and smart, what exactly does Zheng Aiqing like?"

"The good-looking ones are basically not annoying."

"vulgar!"

"Yes, the foreign minister is vulgar."

"Damn."

"Yes, foreign ministers are lowly."

"It's sincere. In fact, that's the reason. People's desires are endless, just like your country of Yan."

"Your Majesty, aren't you talking about business?"

Aren't you talking about women?

I'm still waiting for you to continue chatting with me, and then say you sent me...

"National affairs, isn't it a business?"

"It's business."

"Isn't that right? Seriously, if your country of Yan is like what it was back then, and you just want some benefits, some extra silver, I will do it, and I will give it. Anyway, I will do it to be rich and vast.

Take ten thousand steps back and say, you Yan people went south this time, grabbed a search and went back, I can understand it, I know that your Yan country is poor, and life is a little easier because of the so-called Silk Road these years , but so be it.

Poor neighbors come to your house to beat the autumn breeze, and borrow some rice noodles to go back to the pot. Since they are neighbors, and since they want to continue to get along well in the future, how can there be any reason not to borrow them?

But this time, the poor neighbors don't pay much attention, and actually want to take up half of the house, tsk tsk tsk..."

Zheng Fan said:

"Because this neighbor is too cowardly."

"..." Emperor Qian.

"Your Majesty, the minister made a slip of the tongue and told the truth."

Emperor Qian nodded and said:

"The truth hurts people the most. I have done a lot, and now I am indeed plagued by various diseases. Every year, the treasury allocates funds to support nearly one million troops that do not exist at all. This alone has swallowed up so much people's fat and blood!"

One million more ancestral troops, or one million more Western troops, even if Dayan's iron cavalry is the best in the world, how dare they go south?

"It's a pity, I don't have a Li Liangting by my side, let alone a Tian Wujing."

"Your Majesty, which came first, the chicken or the egg?"

First of all, there was the talented and generous Emperor Yan before these two Lords could appear, and these two Lords could stand willingly by the Emperor Yan's side.

"Yes, yes, I am indeed no match for him, Ji Runhao, to be honest, Ji Runhao knows how to be emperor better than me, and most of the time, I still think about how to enjoy myself.

For example, the silver armor guard outside, you know, she has a husband. "

"..." Zheng Fan.

"Tsk tsk tsk." Emperor Qian fell into narcissism.

"Your Majesty, I'm so excited."

"The joy in this is not enough for outsiders to understand."

"Yes Yes."

This Qianhuang seemed to be a little distracted, and his thinking activity was different from that of ordinary people. Just after talking about the wife, he immediately pointed to the document that he had left aside before and said:

"Do you know why I don't read this document?"

"Your Majesty, you said it just now, because you felt it was insincere."

"Yes, it is indeed insincere, because what is written in it is nothing more than ceding land and paying compensation and sending a prince to be a proton or something. It must be a condition that I cannot accept.

right? "

Zheng Fan was stunned for a moment.

Qianhuang laughed,

"People in the market, when talking about business, you have to pay attention to sincerity. You buy with sincerity, and I sell with sincerity. Only in this way can the business be continued. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of time?"

Zheng Fan frowned slightly.

"Hey, life is hard for you in Yan Kingdom. The two major clans in Jin Kingdom are already sharpening their swords. I guess they are about to send troops. On the side of the desert king's court, they will not let go of this once-in-a-hundred-year encounter. Opportunity."

"Your Majesty, I, Dayan, have the confidence to deal with it."

"Confidence? Yes, I know."

Emperor Qian suddenly sat up straight, looked at Zheng Fan, and said slowly:

"Do you know how I reacted when I learned that more than 200,000 iron cavalry from your country of Yan were heading south?"

Zheng Fan shook his head and said, "The ministers don't know."

"I was frightened, I was really frightened. Then, I immediately issued two edicts, one of which was to order the soldiers and horses from all over the world to enter Jingqin King.

The other one, do you know what it is? "

Zheng Fan took a deep breath.

Qianhuang smiled slightly,

continued:

"This second will is,

Strictly order the soldiers and horses on the three sides not to have a single soldier go south to help! "
