It is true that when Nie Chen met King Pingxi for the first time, he was overwhelmed by the strong oppression on him and could not breathe.
I was so nervous that cold sweat broke out on my back, and I felt like my life and death depended on the other person's thoughts.
But as Ouyang Ming said, King Pingxi's sense of oppression only came from suppressing Nie Chen's status and strength.
At that time, Nie Chen was just a bandit leader with only 10,000 men.
And King Pingxi is the prince who is the king of the cracked earth. He has 700,000 to 800,000 soldiers. The opponent can easily crush him to death with just a thought.
Now, Nie Chen is also a county guard. He has fought several beautiful battles and defeated an army of 300,000 barbarians. He also has 300,000 troops under his command.
Although compared to King Pingxi, it is still far enough to make up for it, but there is still plenty of room for self-protection.
So he no longer felt oppressed by King Ping Xi, nor was he afraid of the other party.
In the past, King Pingxi said that Nie Chen would be a great enemy and a threat, and Nie Chen was frightened.
Now King Pingxi said that Nie Chen was a serious enemy and the son of destiny. Nie Chen smiled lightly and even wanted to have a drink with him to talk about heroes.
The only heroes in the world are Gong and Chener.
After greetings, King Pingxi got straight to the point,
"What do you think is the reason why the emperor asked us kings and all the county guards to attend his longevity banquet this time? What is his purpose?"
Nie Chen shook his head and smiled,
"I don't know the specific intention. After all, I am not a roundworm in the emperor's belly, but the emperor will definitely make a big move this time, and it will definitely be a big move that is not good for us."
"Absolutely. What does Mr. Ouyang think?"
King Pingxi looked at Ouyang Ming.
Ouyang Ming smiled and said,
"Your Majesty, before coming here, we discussed with the lord and thought that if the emperor wants to take action, it is nothing more than seizing power.
We are all our own people, and we speak our own language behind closed doors. Today's Gale Country does not have many foreign troubles, but it has serious internal troubles. The four kings are divided. Together with my lord, it can be said that there are already five forces.
The power of the imperial court is getting smaller and smaller, and its influence is getting weaker and weaker. It is understandable that the emperor wants to change when he is poor.
What he wants to do most is to seize power. By bringing us together this time, he may want to take back some of the power from our hands. "
King Pingxi nodded and said,
"It seems that you don't know much. I have been thinking about what the imperial court is going to do. I can't figure it out after much thought, so I simply stopped thinking about it. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I brought my subordinates with me. The county guards went to see it for a long time.
I haven't seen that old bastard King Jingshan for a long time. In the past six months, I have defeated his 200,000 troops and taken away most of the county. This old boy is going crazy. "
"Your Majesty is so mighty."
Nie Chen boasted with a smile.
King Pingxi suddenly changed the topic and said
"By the way, your intelligence agency has just been established not long ago, and its reach is not that long. I have a message for you two.
One is from the imperial court. In recent times, the right prime minister Tong Yuan and the general Sima Luan have been very close to the emperor. They often come in and out of the imperial study, but they don't know what they are plotting.
I think they may have planned this gathering of all the county guards.
The second one is that the Qi State in the southeast has assembled an army of 500,000 people. They are stationed south of Zhennanguan Pass. It seems that they want to invade our country through Zhennanguan Pass.
The King of Zhennan also began to gather troops, gathering 600,000 troops in his hometown of Taiyuan County, with unknown intentions.
I don’t know if he wants to resist the Qi soldiers and horses, or if he wants to fight King Andong.
Therefore, during this period, the main forces of King Andong were concentrated in the south, and they were on guard against the troops of King Zhennan.
Therefore, King Anton only mobilized an army of 150,000 to fight you, and he no longer has the power to deal with you. After all, in the eyes of King Anton, King Zhennan is much more terrifying than you.
In this matter, you got a big advantage. If there was no King Zhennan to restrain King Anton's troops, King Anton would definitely send a large army to attack you.
But you did a good job this time. Not only did you defeat Ning Wushuang, you also recruited him and incorporated his army.
Not one of the entire 150,000-strong army returned, and King Anton's heart was bleeding for fear of being hurt. "
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Everyone laughed.
Ouyang Ming squinted his eyes, digesting the information provided by King Pingxi.
King Pingxi stood up and said,
"Okay, don't think so much. The soldiers are just coming to stop them. No matter what conspiracy the imperial court has, as long as the soldiers and horses are still in our hands, we can remain motionless.
I just sit there and see what they can do to me! "
King Pingxi arranged a banquet, and everyone ate and drank at the banquet, which was very lively.
Zhou An had heard before that King Pingxi himself was extremely brave. Whenever there was a battle, he would personally lead his troops to charge into the battle. No one could stop him. He wanted to compete with King Pingxi.
But he was still stopped by Nie Chen.
King Pingxi is a king and a lord, not a fierce general. How can he compete with Zhou An?
And Zhou An is also the strongest master known throughout the country, with a prominent reputation.
No matter who wins, it will be a big blow to the other's reputation, so there is no need to fight.
At the dinner party, everyone was eating and drinking in a lively manner.
King Pingxi chatted with Nie Chen about leading troops to fight, while Mr. Jin chatted with Ouyang Ming about politics, situation, astronomy and geography. Both of them were well-informed people and they got along very well.
Weng Qiuchan sat next to Lingjuan. The two women held hands and talked quietly. Lingjuan pointed at Weng Qiuchan's belly. She didn't know what she said, which made Weng Qiuchan blush.
Both of them are wives, but they are different from any other families and the wives of princes.
In other places, how could a woman sit at the same table as a man at such a formal gathering, but the two of them are different. They have both made great contributions to the development of their men's careers, and they are not the kind of people who just Someone who would scheming with other women in the back house.
Both women have killed enemies on the battlefield and worked hard for the soldiers. Whether they are generals or soldiers, they respect them from the bottom of their hearts, not because of their status.
After the banquet, Nie Chen and others rested all night in the guest room of the Sheriff's Mansion. Before going to bed, Weng Qiuchan suddenly asked Nie Chen when he wanted to have children, which stopped Nie Chen.
Only then did Nie Chen remember that he still owed Weng Qiuchan a wedding.
As soon as he said this, Weng Qiuchan became angry. She didn't even ask when she gave birth to the baby. She just turned away and ignored him, letting Nie Chen coax her for a long time. She repeatedly said that he would organize the most grand event for her in the future. wedding.
Weng Qiuchan said that when Nie Chen is crowned king, she will hold a wedding and become Nie Chen's real princess.
