"Self-mistaken?"
Ying Jiuxiao's slightly aged cheeks suddenly laughed and said forcefully: "In my life, I have seen countless storms and waves, and even suffered countless losses, but I just don't know what it means to make a mistake."
"If I hadn't been reminded by Lin Feng just now, I would have almost forgotten it. Your Yan country has already wanted to destroy our country and kill my people. How can I talk about benevolence, justice and morality?"
"How ridiculous!"
"Today, I will kill you. I will use the blood of your Yan people to sacrifice the flag; I will use your Yan people's heads to frighten the Yan country."
"The Yan Kingdom wants to fight, and Da Qin will accompany it to the end."
Ying Jiuxiao stood up quickly, his burly body showing his strength, and ordered: "Come here!"
At an order, a group of soldiers entered.
They all surrounded Duan Gucheng and Murong Tao.
brush!
Duan Gucheng's expression changed drastically.
Even at this moment, Duan Gucheng felt a trace of fear in his heart.
He doesn't want to die.
He is the leader of the Duan tribe of the Yan Kingdom, and is also the father-in-law of the Yan Kingdom's crown prince Liu Qi. Once Liu Yuan dies and Liu Qi succeeds to the throne, he will inevitably dominate the government and the public in the future. Therefore, Duan Gucheng is never willing to give up everything he has, and he cannot die.
Duan Gucheng's eyes rolled, and he instantly made a plan. He did not give in directly and said quickly: "Ying Jiuxiao, you have to think carefully. If you don't kill us, there will still be room for war between Da Qin and Yan."
"Once we are killed, the result for Da Qin and Yan will be endless death."
"When the four countries come to attack, Yan's offensive will be unstoppable and sharp as never before. Even our Yan's military front alone will contain the vast majority of your Da Qin's troops, and then face Jin and Xia How are you going to resist He Qi’s attack?”
Duan Gucheng said: "As a king, you should not let your likes and dislikes affect your judgment. You should not make irrational decisions out of anger."
Ying Jiuxiao said disdainfully: "Now you have begun to soften your tone and change your tone? It's just that your begging for mercy, in my opinion, does not have a trace of sincerity."
Duan Gucheng said: "I am not changing, I am stating the facts."
Ying Jiuxiao said: "Since I am stating a fact, I will also state a fact, that is, I, Ying Jiuxiao, am not afraid of Yan's attack. I, Da Qin, have never established a country by groveling, nor have I blocked all attacks by conspiracy. "
"Everything that Great Qin is today is achieved by all the soldiers fighting bloody battles and throwing their lives and blood. In the past, Great Qin built its country with force. Today, Great Qin still builds its country with force."
"This heart will never change, this will remain unchanged."
Ying Jiuxiao's voice echoed in the hall, revealing his determination.
Lin Feng's eyes lit up when he heard this.
This is what he admires about Ying Jiuxiao.
As an emperor, Ying Jiuxiao has the heart of a courteous and virtuous corporal, and has great ambition, wisdom and mind.
Lin Feng admired such people.
Duan Gucheng was quite nervous, because the tougher the Emperor of Qin became, the more dangerous the situation of the Yan State mission he represented became.
Duan Gucheng took a deep breath, calmed his restless mind, and continued: "Win Jiuxiao, as the saying goes, the two countries are at war without killing each other. If you want to kill me now, I'm afraid that once the news comes out, I will be despised by everyone in the world. Who else? Dare to interact with Da Qin? Who would believe what Da Qin says?"
Ying Jiuxiao said disdainfully: "We, the Great Qin State, have always been called barbarians by the Xia State, Qi State, etc., so what kind of etiquette do we have to talk about? What's more, your Yan State is not even as good as our Great Qin State, drinking blood like an animal, like an animal. Why should we learn from Zhongzhou? It’s totally different to learn etiquette. Just stop talking about so-called etiquette. I felt sick after listening to it.”
Duan Gucheng's expression changed again and again.
Ying Jiuxiao was too strong. He didn't even give in at all and was determined to kill them.
hateful!
Duan Gucheng cursed in his heart.
But no matter how Duan Gucheng cursed, the dilemma he faced was to win Jiuxiao's killing game. If this problem was not solved, he would not be able to leave Da Qin.
Duan Gucheng took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
He cast a look at Wei Mang. Wei Mang was born in the Xia Kingdom of Zhongzhou in the past, lived in the Yan Kingdom, became an official in the Yan Kingdom, and was Liu Yuan's confidant.
This man has wisdom.
Wei Mang was also nervous inside. He didn't want to die in Da Qin in such an unexplained way, so he took advantage of the situation and said, "I, Wei Mang, have met His Majesty the Emperor of Da Qin."
"Your Majesty is wise and decisive. If you want to fight hard, it is indeed possible. After all, the entire Qin Dynasty is a military force, and everyone is good at fighting. If you want to fight, there is no problem."
"However, you should understand the truth. There will be a time when the blood will be drained, and a time when the people will be exhausted. Once a large-scale war begins with the Yan State, even if the Qin State can win, I am afraid it will suffer heavy losses."
"Even if the Qin Dynasty wants to resist the four kingdoms of Jin, even if it wins, I am afraid that ten houses and nine empty houses will be empty, and the whole world will be in disaster."
"This is an absolutely fatal disaster."
Wei Mang's expression was gentle and calm, and he even seemed to be thinking about Da Qin.
Lin Feng took a step forward and said disdainfully: "Wei Mang, your words are purely confusing. According to your opinion, the imperial grandfather should be humble and humble."
"Actually, where did the food and money Yan asked for come from? These all came from the people of Da Qin. After plundering the people of Da Qin, can the people still live?"
"I believe that the people of Da Qin would rather fight to the death than bow down and beg for mercy. The people of Da Qin would rather win dignity with their blood on the battlefield than survive through charity."
brush!
Wei Mang's expression changed suddenly.
What a great Lin Feng.
What a sharp mouth.
Wei Mang knew that he had to change his strategy at this time, and survival was now the first priority.
Survive first.
Even if the rest of the conditions are not met, I can explain it to Liu Yuan after I return to Yan State.
Wei Mang took advantage of the situation and said: "Your Majesty, Great Qin is going to fight, and everyone has a bloody spirit, which is great. However, once we slaughter all the Yan State envoys, Yan State and Great Qin will not give up, and they will fight to the end."
"In this case, why bother to offend Yan State to death instead of giving it more room for relaxation?"
"Lord Duan Gucheng is the Right King of our Yan Kingdom and the leader of the Duan Department of our Yan Kingdom. Once King Duan Gucheng is killed, everyone in the Duan Department will definitely use all their strength to avenge King Duan Gucheng."
"Even Grand Master Murong Tao is a pillar of the Murong Tribe in the Yan Kingdom. Once Murong Tao dies in the Yan Kingdom, everyone in the Murong Tribe will do their best to seek revenge."
Wei Mang said: "It is unwise to kill two people and create a deadly feud for the Qin Dynasty."
Lin Feng sneered and said, "What a sharp mouth."
Wei Mang said: "Lin Feng, are my words wrong? These are for the sake of Great Qin."
"Wrong, you are thinking about yourself."
Lin Feng looked calm and said slowly: "What you said is actually a threat, but it is a threat in a relatively soft way. In essence, there is no difference."
"You just said that if you kill Duan Gucheng and Murong Tao, then Duan Bu and Murong Bu will devote all their efforts to revenge. In fact, after Duan Gucheng and Murong Tao are gone, Duan Bu and Murong Bu will have vacated positions. Eventually, there will be a power vacuum."
"The first thing they did was not to take revenge, but to seize and divide the benefits and fight again."
"This is what they have to do first."
Lin Feng was talking eloquently. As soon as he said his words, Wei Mang's expression changed slightly.
Lin Feng is not easy to fool.
Wei Mang was quite worried in his heart.
Lin Feng continued: "The people of Duan and Murong who have successfully taken power will next lead people to follow the Yan army southward in the name of avenging Murong Tao and Duan Gucheng to seize and divide the benefits in Qin. .”
"Now that Murong Tao and Duan Gucheng have been released and returned, the Emperor of Yan will come with his troops to kill them. Murong Tao and Duan Gucheng will definitely go all out to attack the Qin Dynasty for their own benefit."
"So, whether you let him go or not, it is impossible for the people of Yan State to let Da Qin go. No matter what, the final situation will be determined by fighting. Only after the first battle can the final victory or defeat be decided, and the final direction can be decided. .”
Ying Jiuxiao's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Lin Feng is right.
Just now, he was a little shaken when he heard Wei Mang's words. Now after listening to Lin Feng's words and thinking about it carefully, I suddenly realized that as long as Da Qin did not provide food, money, etc., Yan State would definitely go south with all its strength.
Will Murong Tao and Duan Gucheng feel grateful to Da Qin just because Ying Jiuxiao released them?
impossible!
On the contrary, Murong Tao and Duan Gucheng wanted to tear the Qin Dynasty apart in their hearts, wanted to kill the Qin Dynasty and rob the property and women.
The murderous intention in Ying Jiuxiao's heart became firm again without any wavering.
Wei Mang's heart sank as soon as he noticed Ying Jiuxiao's expression. He glanced at Lin Feng fiercely again. If Lin Feng hadn't stopped him, Ying Jiuxiao would most likely have been dissuaded by him.
Even though Wei Mang was angry in his heart, under the current situation, he had no choice but to quickly reaffirm his promise and said: "Your Majesty, I can swear to heaven, Duan Gucheng and Murong Tao can also swear that as long as we return to the Yan Kingdom, They all advise the great emperor of Yan State to help the Qin Dynasty and stand on the side of the Qin Dynasty. If he violates his oath, he will be struck by thunder from heaven."
Murong Tao quickly promised: "Yes, we are willing to make an oath."
In Murong Tao's heart, he was sneering.
If Zhongzhou's oath should be broken, then break it directly. He didn't take it to heart at all.
Duan Gucheng also agreed. He said solemnly: "Your Majesty, Emperor Qin, Shi Hu's situation is purely because Shi Hu is seeking his own death. He deserves to be killed for his cruelty. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, we will never have any thoughts because of His Majesty the Emperor." . As long as His Majesty the Emperor lets us go, we promise not to invade Da Qin."
Lin Feng said again: "Your Majesty, the more they vow and resolutely express their stance, the more they can predict how fiercely they will attack Yan once they attack."
He had murderous intentions towards Murong Tao.
He will never give up until Murong Tao is killed.
What's more, since the envoy from the Yan State has arrived, and the Yan State is determined to attack Da Qin, if this is the case, then the sacrifice flag will be killed in order to encourage the people.
Ying Jiuxiao was determined and without any hesitation, he ordered: "Go ahead, kill them all."
The soldiers immediately surrounded him.
Murong Tao was the most skilled in martial arts. He retreated in one step and prepared to break out of the encirclement. Just when Murong Tao retreated, Ying San stepped forward to catch up and directly blocked him.
"I have been on guard against you Murong Tao for a long time. If you still want to escape, don't even think about it!"
Win the Trinity Sword out of its sheath.
The sword light flickered, and under the suppression of the sword light that filled the sky, a scream was heard in a short time. Murong Tao fell to the ground, and a wound appeared on his chest.
Blood overflowed, Murong Tao screamed, his neck tilted, and he lost his breath.
The rest of the soldiers came forward. Although Duan Gucheng, Wei Mang, and Qifuzhen resisted, under the attack of the imperial guards in the palace, Duan Gucheng, Wei Mang, and Qifuzhen were all killed in a short period of time.
Ying Jiuxiao ordered: "Ying San, hang the bodies of Duan Gucheng, Murong Tao and others outside the south city of Xianyang for public display, and then arrange for people to preach to the people that the Yan State, together with the Xia State and others, will attack our country Qin, and even the Yan State will Let Qin pay tribute. I am not afraid of the threat of Yan. I will kill the envoys of Yan and call on the people to prepare to join the army to resist the invasion of other countries."
"Here!"
Ying San bowed in agreement.
Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
Murong Tao solved it.
But now, we have to make arrangements immediately for our mission to Jin, and we can't waste any more time.
Lin Feng looked at Ying Jiuxiao and said, "Grandfather, I am ready to go south now."
Ying Jiuxiao said: "There are also people from Heibingtai in Jin State. This time I asked Ying Wu to accompany me, and he will contact the people from Heibingtai for you. If you have any arrangements, just inform him. In addition, you are in Jin State, When negotiating with the Jin State, no matter what the conditions are, no matter what the matter is, you have full authority to make the decision. As long as you decide, I will accept it, and I, the Qin Dynasty, will recognize it. I, believe you."
"Thank you, Grandfather."
Lin Feng nodded.
Ying Jiuxiao said: "Apart from this, are there any other requirements?"
Lin Feng said: "I am going south this time in the name of doing business, which will help Xifeng Zui start operating in the Jin State. I will first go to see Xie Xuan, an official of the Jin State in Xianyang, and negotiate with him. As for the Jin State, I I don’t have any request, I just beg the emperor to protect the safety of my family, after all, the situation is starting to become unstable.”
Ying Jiuxiao said: "Don't worry, no one can threaten them."
Lin Feng smiled and said: "Thank you, Grandfather Emperor."
He stopped staying and went straight out of the palace. After leaving the imperial city, Lin Feng went back to his house first, changed into a robe, and asked Gao Xiaoyu to get a jar of shochu distilled from koji, Xifeng Zui, from the wine cellar. .
This is a more mellow flavor.
Although this wine has been stored in the cellar for a short time, the flavor is still extremely fragrant, far superior to the Xifeng Zui that was separately distilled and purified in the past.
Lin Feng took a jar of West Wind Drunk and went straight to the Jinling Guild Hall in Jin State.
