"What? A mountain was blown in half? This is impossible!"
Vientiane Palace.
When the news came, Ling Shanyue seemed to have seen a ghost, with disbelief written all over his face.
Not only him, but also all the civil and military ministers were like this.
It's no wonder that they would never have imagined such an unbelievable thing. The first time they got the news, they thought they had heard it wrong or that the news was wrong.
But after repeated confirmations, I had to believe that the news was correct and they had heard it correctly. This was the fact.
But, for such a shocking fact, they would rather it be false.
Ling Shanyue's face also turned pale, "This is impossible, how on earth did Lin Qingfeng do it? What on earth is that?"
Obviously, the completion of such a thing was beyond the understanding of this era and was difficult for them to accept.
Prime Minister Liu Yuanlang said: "Back to Your Majesty, after understanding it from the old ministers and the news received from the Western Regions, Lin Qingfeng may have mastered an extremely powerful weapon. When used, this weapon can make a loud noise like thunder, and can even cause The landslide and the earth shattered.”
"The 150,000 troops of Loulan and the Xiongnu were probably buried because of this."
What!
Hearing this, Ling Shanyue's face became even more ugly.
No wonder, such a powerful weapon caused landslides and ground cracks, instantly burying an army of 150,000 people. What is this concept? Absolutely appalling.
If this is what he said, who else would dare to be the enemy of the other party now?
"Xiang Liu, is this an exaggeration? If Lin Qingfeng really has such a magical weapon in his hand, then why would he still need to negotiate with us? Can't we just start fighting and be done with it?"
"That's right! Lin Qingfeng seems to be showing off his power, but he must not be very sure, otherwise there would be no need to act like this."
"..."
The ministers discussed it a lot.
Liu Yuanlang said: "What you all said is true, so I believe that Lin Qingfeng, this powerful weapon, has many limitations."
"Either the price is too high, or the quantity is not enough, but it is unknown how much he still has."
Everyone was silent.
Judging from the information known so far, the great talent has indeed mastered an extremely powerful weapon. They don't know what it is, but it does exist.
Although the number may be limited, who can be sure how many there are?
Who dares to touch this brow? Aren't you afraid of suffering yourself? What if, like the Loulan army, hundreds of thousands of troops were directly buried, who could bear the consequences?
Compared with Lichao and Dali, Wanxiang Kingdom is considered the weakest among the three kingdoms. If this is true, it will not be Southwest that will be annexed and cannibalized, but Wanxiang Kingdom.
Such consequences are definitely unbearable for Vientiane State.
No! Not only Wanxiang Kingdom, but also Lichao and Dali. No one dared to take this risk. Even though they were all greedy for Southwest, no one dared to try.
Ling Shanyue was riding a tiger and it was hard to get off. When things got to this point, it was neither progress nor retreat.
Jin, confront the great talent head-on. After the great talent showed such a terrifying weapon, neither Li Chao nor Dali could take action first.
No one wants to stand out.
What's more, this incident itself happened in Lezhou, the territory of Wanxiang Kingdom. Wanxiang Kingdom did not take action, and Dali and Lichao had no reason to take action.
But once you take action, the consequences...
Ling Shanyue didn't dare to imagine or take the risk, so he could only retreat.
However, in this case, not only would he lose face, but the Lezhou area would also be occupied, which was also difficult for him to accept.
At this moment, Ling Shanyue's face was extremely ugly, as gloomy as if he could drip water. He waved his hand and said: "Everyone, please step aside! Liu Xiang stays."
"yes!"
The ministers retreated one after another, all with sad faces, obviously having a hard time making a choice.
In the imperial study room, only Liu Yuanlang was left at this time.
Ling Shanyue said directly: "What does Mr. Liu think of this matter?"
Liu Yuanlang's eyes flickered, and after pondering for a moment he said: "Your Majesty, our Wanxiang Kingdom and Lin Qingfeng don't have much grudges at all. It was only because of Li Chao's marriage that we agreed to block the southwest together with Li Chao."
"Now that Lin Qingfeng has powerful weapons, it is really not worth it to have a head-on confrontation with Lin Qingfeng."
"So I think this matter should end here, or let Li Chao and Dali take action. Li Chao wants to blockade Southwest, and Dali and Southwest have old grudges, so they should take action."
Ling Shanyue nodded subconsciously and asked, "What if they don't take action?"
Liu Yuanlang said: "Then you can't blame us. We directly acknowledge the cooperation with Lin Qingfeng. Lin Qingfeng didn't let it go. He doesn't mind giving some benefits to Wanxiang Kingdom."
"Moreover, once this trade route is opened, the caravans traveling between the Southwest and the Western Regions will all pass through our Vientiane Kingdom, which will be an opportunity for our Vientiane Kingdom."
Ling Shanyue's eyes brightened slightly, and then he shook his head and said, "In this case, wouldn't that area fall into Lin Qingfeng's hands?"
Liu Yuanlang paused and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly. Lin Qingfeng has such a powerful weapon. If he directly captures Lezhou from the beginning, what will your Majesty do?"
this!
Ling Shanyue froze for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
yes! If the other party really did this, he really didn't know what to do. With such a powerful weapon, Wanxiang Kingdom would be caught off guard. I'm afraid...
His face turned pale and he couldn't imagine it.
Liu Yuanlang continued: "Lin Qingfeng has always claimed that he is a businessman and does not like to fight and kill. We will not investigate the details for the moment, but he did come to our Wanxiang Kingdom for cooperation. However, after learning about the marriage of the Three Kingdoms, he Take it a step further."
"However, he still did not attack forcefully, but chose this method, which also left room for each other. From this point of view, Lin Qingfeng has no ill intentions towards us."
"This is easy to understand. After all, this trade route passes through our country of Vientiane. He cannot guard this road all the time. If we can cooperate, he must hope to cooperate with us."
Ling Shanyue nodded subconsciously, "Not bad!"
Liu Yuanlang added: "As for the ownership of that area, Lin Qingfeng has been renting it so far. If he really wanted to take it, he would have bought it directly or attacked it directly, but he didn't do it."
"Putting all this aside, at least it's just rent on the surface. What's more, that piece of land was given to the Duke of Qing by the late emperor a long time ago."
The meaning is very clear. On the surface, it is renting, and the Wanxiang Kingdom's face is still there, and the land does not belong to the imperial court, so there is no need at all.
Ling Shanyue was startled for a moment, "Then what Prime Minister Liu means..."
Liu Yuanlang said: "Your Majesty, I believe that the most important thing right now is to strive for the greatest interests."
"What did Lin Qingfeng mean by what he said in Funiu Mountain? Who is his mother-in-law? From what he said, it seems that it was because of his mother-in-law that he did not take action against the Wanxiang Kingdom."
"Is his mother-in-law related to the Wanxiang Kingdom? As far as I know, none of his wives seem to be related to the Wanxiang Kingdom, but he obviously won't make the mistake without aim."
"So I think the top priority is to find out the relationship and find his mother-in-law, maybe..."
