Jiao Wu's face darkened: "Martial Lord, what do you mean?"
He didn't yell out loud on the spot, so he was well behaved.
On the day of his 300th birthday, in front of a crowd of guests and friends, asking his soldiers to tie up a person and bring him in was no longer rude, but a naked provocation.
"Mr. Jiao, please don't be angry." Xue Mingyi still stood there, not in a hurry: "You might as well see first whether my gift is appropriate or not."
No one dared to stop them along the way. The four soldiers held up the so-called "gifts" and walked toward the main table with clanging steps.
Jiang Wang didn't expect to see such a big show at the birthday banquet he attended to get close to Qingyunting. The strangeness of Bo Yun under the great changes in the entire Yong Kingdom seemed to be reflected in this birthday banquet.
Like all the onlookers, he took a curious look and saw that the person tied up was a middle-aged scribe with slightly frosty hair. There were some blood stains on his body, and he had obviously been tortured. As for more specific information, he couldn't analyze it.
The soldiers stood still and put the middle-aged scribe down. He must have been tortured so severely that he couldn't stand firmly at all and fell directly down. It was the two soldiers in the back row who each stretched out a hand to lift him up.
Jiao Wu glanced at this man, and looked back at Xue Mingyi without any fluctuation: "I don't know this man. If he commits a crime, he should be handed over to a responsible person. If he is rude to you, you can kill him on the spot. But I don't know how to respect him. What is the purpose of coming to my birthday banquet?"
Those who are awe-inspiring can achieve peace through awe. Once Weininghou becomes angry, his power accumulated over the years is like a landslide and a tsunami, which makes bystanders feel heavy and almost breathless.
But Xue Mingyi remained calm and unhurried.
"Mr. Jiao, please listen to my explanation."
He responded with a smile and talked eloquently: "Lao Jiao is the leader of the country. He is highly virtuous and respected, and enjoys all the honors and honors. The Supreme Emperor who has passed away and your Majesty now have great trust in you. The jewels and treasures make your mansion plain and simple. Gold and silver mountains. , can't add any color to you. Xue thought about it and didn't know what gift to give."
"It just so happened that my generals captured this person in Shun'an Mansion."
He slowly left the table, walked up to the slumped middle-aged scribe, casually grabbed his hair, and raised his head, his face clearly visible to Jiao Wu.
"This man is a spy from the Jiao Kingdom. He has sneaked into our Yong Kingdom with evil intentions! What other gift can really make Mr. Jiao happy? Only our Yong Kingdom has long-term peace and stability, foreign tribes are obedient, and all barbarians have surrendered. The conspiracies and tricks of other countries can't be ignored. Eradicated without a trace!"
Xue Mingyi looked at Jiao Wu: "Mr. Jiao, do you think so or not?"
Everyone was silent.
Being a spy is not a big deal. But the identity of this spy is too sensitive!
Everyone knows that Jiao Wu's father is the surrendered general of Jiao Kingdom.
Jiao Wu's father was captured by Han and Zhou during the battle between the two armies during the reign of Emperor Yongming, and later returned to the Yong Kingdom. People at the time were suspicious of him, but Han Zhou believed in him and entrusted him with important responsibilities. And as expected, he was devoted to his duties and had no different ambitions in his life. In Jiao Wu's generation, he was granted the title of marquis based on his merits and became the highest class in Yong Kingdom. The Jiao family has fought hard for Yong for generations, and their loyalty should no longer be questioned.
However, the name Jiaoguo is still too sensitive when it appears here and now.
The national war between Zhuang and Yong was thrilling. The Yong state was once in danger of collapse. In addition to Zhuang Yong's frontal battlefield, Luo State also sent troops brazenly to join forces with the Qingjiang Shui Tribe to invade the Lanhe River. The red horse guards of Jing State went south and attacked Jing'an Mansion.
It can be said that there are a pack of wolves around, all wanting to divide and eat them.
Although only Jing and Luo are actually sending troops, are they not the only ones who are ready to take action?
The territory that Yong has today was conquered in one battle. The territory was established during the Han and Zhou Dynasties of Emperor Yongming.
The neighboring countries were not what they are now. The maps of various countries have changed several times. During this period, how many people were cut down and destroyed, and how many people were deprived of their land!
Jiao Country is a country that was directly crippled. Nowadays, the land is barren and the people are few, and the government can only barely maintain its power. After the war that year, he has never recovered. Including Jiao Wu's father, he also surrendered at that time.
Jiang Wang didn't know the inside story. His understanding of Yong State was not that high yet. I don’t know why the guests present became silent when mentioning the spies from the Jiao Country.
But that didn't stop him from thinking that Jiao Wu might have some kind of relationship with Jiao Country.
He stood silently behind Feng Ming, trying not to attract anyone's attention.
For the Yong people present, the national war that just passed was a pain that they could not forget in a short time.
And Xue Mingyi sent the Jiao State spies to Weininghou Mansion, and emphasized that they were captured in Shun'an Mansion. This almost made it clear that during the national war at that time, the Jiao State was also ready to make a move, and even... Start contacting Jiao Wu!
How many people in the whole country are in a situation similar to that of Weining Hou Jiao Wu? What you know, what you don’t know, overtly or covertly...the huge shadow has actually come.
If Han Xu hadn't turned the tide, introduced Momen, and quickly stopped the war, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
There was something wrong with the way many guests looked at Jiao Wu.
Snapped!
Snapped!
Snapped!
Jiao Wu raised his hands, and the applause was crisp and loud.
"These few words from Marquis Xue are of great significance, and they are very close to my heart!"
As he spoke, he touched his palms and stood up.
He is not tall, but rather thin. But now he stood up like a mountain.
Towering, majestic, and unshakable.
He left the table and walked towards Xue Mingyi. He was obviously shorter than Xue Mingyi, but he walked towards his food like a beast waking up.
Martial arts lord Xue Mingyi is certainly not food. So he raised his sword eyebrows, and his whole aura also rose, high-spirited and sharp, fighting against Jiao Wu and not falling behind.
All the guests in the courtyard were worried, wondering how to handle themselves if the situation escalated.
On the other hand, Mo Jingyu still sat firmly, silently watching everything that happened in front of him without making any movement.
It was enough to express his position in the subtle confrontation between Xue Mingyi and Jiao Wu. At this moment when the two Yonghous were confronting each other and it was almost tense, if he did anything else, it would involve Han Xu's bottom line.
By then, Yongting would not be able to tolerate him, and neither would the senior officials of Momen who supported Han Xu.
Will there be a fight?
Feng Ming's breathing became a little heavier, obviously hoping that Jiao Wu, who had humiliated him, would learn a lesson. Although Jiao Wu may not know who he is and has never cared about a junior like him.
Feng Yue's expression remained unchanged, and he even took a sip of wine.
Jiang Wang understood that Feng Yue agreed with his judgment. No matter what the considerations were, Xue Mingyi and Jiao Wu would not fight on the spot.
But he squeezed the wine glass tightly and still appeared very nervous. A qualified follower should be smart, but not too smart.
Jiao Wu finally walked up to Xue Mingyi and stood opposite him.
Everyone's eyes and emotions were affected by them.
At this moment when everyone was watching, Jiao Wu said to Xue Mingyi: "How about letting me interrogate him for a few words?"
Without waiting for Xue Mingyi's reply, he added: "Please tell your majesty. If Shi Heng is tempted to act arrogantly, even though I am old, I am willing to lead the expedition and hold his head in front of you!"
Shi Heng is the contemporary Jiaojun!
