Perhaps because he was afraid of Qu Yunxi's unparalleled magical power, or because he wanted to show that Chu State paid enough attention to this secret meeting, Chen Xiong personally came out of the palace to greet him, followed by Sikong Li and Song Jinyang to the left and right behind him.
Seeing a man driving a carriage slowly, Chen Xiong was startled for a moment, wondering how Mr. Li Mi could be so brave. He didn't look like a scholar at all. Later, after being reminded by Sikong Li, he realized that the man driving the carriage was from Liao. In Yunxi, the monarch's district, people were even more surprised for a moment. They didn't know what kind of virtue and ability this Mr. Li Mi had, that he could actually bother the king of a country to drive for him personally.
The curtain of the carriage was slowly opened. Li Mi, who was dressed luxuriously and looked like a kid from a rich family, jumped out of the carriage with the help of Ou Yunxi, and bowed: "I, Mr. Li Mi, have met the King of Chu and the God of War. The two famous names are like thunder. , when I saw it today, it really lived up to its reputation.”
Sikong Li was cold-tempered by nature, so he just curled his lips as a return gift, but Chen Xiong smiled heartily and said: "Mr. Li is an unparalleled scholar in the country, and I have been fascinated by him for a long time! Come, follow me to the palace quickly." After speaking, he took a step forward, pulled Li Mi and strode towards the palace. I don't know if it was intentional. Chen Xiong didn't even look at Ou Yunxi from beginning to end. He ignored the King of Liao who was also the king of the same country. On the side, fortunately, the latter did not take it seriously and followed slowly, but always kept a distance of three positions from Sikong Li, who was walking in front of him intentionally or unintentionally, and who was walking at the end.
When a group of people came to the main hall, Chen Xiong had already ordered his servants to prepare fine wine and delicacies, and he was accompanied by twenty-eight beauties. Ou Yunxi did not refuse anyone who came, and he sat down boldly, pulling the little lady beside him by the cattails, smiling brightly. Seeing that Li Mi was unmoved at first, he smiled and said: "Sir, please take your seat quickly. Why are you so polite? Don't let down King Chu's kindness."
This was the first time that Chen Xiong faced the emperor who relied on unparalleled force to seek the throne and usurped the throne. He smiled heartily and said: "The King of Liao does not stick to trivial matters, and he is worthy of being a true hero!"
The two looked at each other and laughed.
Li Mi first prepared his words, then cupped his hands and said, "The king of Chu is here, and I am here today. I have important matters to discuss with the king of Chu. If the king agrees, everyone will be happy, and it will not be too late to drink this wine again."
Chen Xiong narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Sir, please speak."
Li Mixian continued: "I believe that the King of Chu has also received the news. Guo Yuan made a big fuss in Qingyang City a few days ago, which made Feng Jingquan furious. I believe that with Feng Jingquan's unyielding character, sooner or later this account will be settled with the Yan State. Now. The world is divided into four parts. Originally, the Liang Kingdom had a stronger military force, far surpassing that of Yan, Chu, and Liao. However, after several wars, although the Liang Kingdom's territory was not reduced, its military strength was reduced. This is an indisputable fact. Now the combined military strength of the three countries, It has overtaken Liang Guo."
Chen Xiong nodded and said: "Sir, what you said is right. According to what you mean, can the three countries join forces again to attack Liang together?"
Li Mi chuckled lightly and shook his head: "No. Although Yan and Chu are an alliance, they are actually inseparable. They need to be wary of defections at all times. The Liao Kingdom is located in the southeastern corner of the Central Plains and has no contact with the two countries. There is nothing wrong with joining forces, but Whoever raises the army first is very important."
"Why is this?" Chen Xiong was aroused and asked.
Then I heard Li Mixian continue to talk: "The King of Chu is a smart man, and he should know that the rafters that stand out will die first. If your country takes the lead in raising troops, naturally it will be possible to respond to a hundred people within the territory of Chu, but whether Yan and Liao can Going with the trend has to be a question mark, and the same goes for the opposite. As I said before, Feng Jingquan is full of anger and has nowhere to vent, and he will definitely send troops to attack the Yan State. If what I predict is good, he will send troops soon. As for leading the troops. Unless Feng Jing is determined to devour Yan State in one fell swoop, he will still be Zhu Wang, who has been fighting with Baili Jin for more than ten years. I came here today just to plead with the King of Chu. If what I predict is good, "Can the King of Chu pretend to form an alliance with the State of Yan, but actually stand still and let Zhu Wang's army and Baili Jin's army fight each other? After the overall situation is decided, Si Air Force God will personally lead the troops to clean up the mess?" After saying this, he bowed to the end. , waiting for the King of Chu's reply.
Chen Xiong's face was gloomy and uncertain, as if he was weighing the pros and cons. After a while, he asked coldly: "Why do you want to listen to your husband? The Yan State and I are so great that Chu will die with lips and teeth cold. If Yan is destroyed, Chu will be destroyed. Is this the truth? Don’t you understand, sir?”
Li Mixian still bent over and replied: "What the King of Chu said was just the situation ten years ago. In recent years, Yan, Chu, and Liao have all been secretly accumulating troops. Even if the Yan State is destroyed, the Liang State will inevitably His vitality was severely damaged, and he was no longer able to attack the Chu State in the short term. Instead, he needed to always be on guard against Chu and Liao's attacks from the north and south. Moreover, although Baili Jin did not have the help of Guo Yuan, he was still a famous general in the world. The Yan State's 300,000 troops defeated the Liang State. Three hundred and fifty thousand soldiers and horses is not a problem, but the battle between the two countries will not be fought to the last soldier. I would venture to guess that Yan will only be in chaos and lose the will to fight after it has suffered casualties of 150,000 troops. By then, Liang will If the country takes advantage of the victory and pursues it, the destruction of the Yan Kingdom is inevitable. And when the Liang Kingdom attacks Yan, our Daliao will order General Ashannu to lead the army across Feiyun Stream to contain the Jingzhou army and ensure that the battle between Yan and Liang will not end prematurely. , consume the Liang Kingdom’s military strength to the greatest extent!”
After hearing this, Chen Xiong chuckled and asked to the point: "If things go exactly as Mr. guessed, what will happen next?"
Li Mi first said without hesitation: "Naturally, I will take advantage of Liang's vitality to go south and north. After that, the world will be settled. We, the Liao Kingdom, can rely on the King of Chu and support the King of Chu as the co-lord of the world!" After speaking, he said from the district. Xi took a brocade box in his hand and offered it with both hands.
Sikong Li understood Chen Xiong's look and took the brocade box back from the air. After looking at it, he calmly shook his head, indicating that it was okay. Chen Xiong then took it with confidence, opened it and exclaimed: "The Jade Seal of Liao!"
Li Mixian said seriously: "Yes, it is the jade seal that contains the luck of the Liao Kingdom. I will present this to the King of Chu today to show my sincerity. Li Mixian is a counselor by nature. Only by relying on the Ming Dynasty can he have the opportunity to realize his great ambitions." .”
Chen Xiong asked again: "I wonder what King Liao wants?"
Ou Yunxi was holding the beauty in his arms and drinking heavily. He was very happy. Hearing this, he waved his hands hurriedly: "Don't ask me. Everyone in the Liao Kingdom knows that Ou, the king of Liao, is not worthy of his name. He is a man of the world and cannot be a member of the world." Lord, after the king of Chu has unified the world, just give it to a certain Xiaoyao king in the district to rule the rivers and lakes."
Chen Xiong stared at the two of them intently, trying to get clues from their faces, but after staring for a long time, he saw that their expressions were as usual, not pretending, and then he smiled and said: "You two are so sincere, then I am disrespectful. As for what you said before, I promise you." After saying that, he picked up the sword beside him, slowly pulled it out, and said loudly: "Although this sword is not a magic weapon, it has also accompanied me in my expeditions to the north and south. We have been fighting for nearly twenty years. Today I have sworn an oath. If I violate my oath, there will be such a sword!" He said and broke the sword in half!
Li Mi first touched his palms and smiled and said: "The King of Chu has promised a thousand gold coins, so I wish the King of Chu victory and unification of the world!"
————
The secret meeting ended successfully, and Song Jinyang sent the two of them out of the palace. Li Mi first knew that his old friend had something to say, so he deliberately slowed down and walked side by side with Song Jinyang. Seeing his old friend's frown, Li Mi joked: "Why, are you worried that I, Li Mi, will seek skin from a tiger and end up in a bad way?"
Song Jinyang smiled bitterly and said: "You, Li Mi, are far more resourceful than me. You were supposed to show off your talents and make a big splash in this troubled world. Why did you choose to stay under the fence and be attached to the King of Chu?"
However, Li Mixian did not answer the question and said with a serious face: "Old Song, Guo Yuan has left. He left with great vigor and earth-shaking. I, Li Mixian, do not want to lose to him. As for you, Song Jinyang, you must live well. No matter what happens, you will die." I will be behind, otherwise if I, Li Mi, were in this world first, there would really be no one left to speak of."
