Xiao Yuan was invited by King Liang, so King Jin naturally had reasons to assassinate him, but such a blatant action seemed a bit ridiculous.
Xiao Yuan had to consider this.
Seeing his frown, Liang Principle couldn't help but ask: "What does your Majesty mean..."
"Assassins are all dead soldiers, right?" Xiao Yuan glanced at him.
"Yes, the assassination failed, and most of them committed suicide by taking poison. The ministers were unable to stop them at that time. Judging from the scene, there is no doubt that they are dead soldiers." Liang Yuan replied.
"Since he is a dead man, he must have the heart to die, but the last person he caught was a little too deliberate." Xiao Yuan said thoughtfully.
"This... but under torture, the assassin confessed..." Liang Yuan and Xu Hu looked at each other.
"This is also the problem." Xiao Yuan said helplessly: "Now, the assassin insists that he was sent by the Jin State, and his companions are all dead, which is equivalent to death without evidence. From our perspective, we can only think that it was the Jin State. ."
After speaking, he added: "There is no need to make this matter public. The assassin will be secretly escorted back to Qinzhou."
"Yes, Wei Chen will do it now." Liang Yuan took the order and left.
"Let's go to Baize." Xiao Yuan gestured to Xu Hu again.
He had doubts about this matter, but without evidence, he could only suppress it for the time being.
King Liang wanted to use this method to prompt Qin and Jin to engage in war, so that he could take advantage of the situation, but Xiao Yuan would obviously remain calm.
That afternoon, Baize, Linshui Building.
This is an elegant small building, located by the lake, with a beautiful environment and a gentle breeze from time to time, making it very comfortable.
At this time, outside the entire small building, there were naturally many sergeants, tightly surrounded by guards from the four countries.
The three kings have arrived, all wearing royal robes and crowns. After meeting outside the building, each of the three kings was accompanied by his own guard. After meeting each other, King Huan couldn't help but ask:
"Where is King Qin?"
"This...should not have arrived yet." King Liang said.
At this time, King Jin couldn't help it anymore and frowned: "The time and place have been decided for the meeting of the four countries. But now, King Qin has not arrived yet. It is unreasonable for the three of us to wait for him!"
After hearing this, King Huan quickly echoed: "That's right! We are all the kings of the same country. Waiting for him alone, Qin Jun is too ignorant."
King Liang smiled. He knew in his heart that he was afraid that the assassin incident would delay Xiao Yuan. He didn't say anything, but was thinking that there might be something good to watch later.
He wanted to watch a show, and Xiao Yuan was actually preparing to put on a show when he arrived.
King Jin added: "Who does he think he is? The Emperor! Even if he is the Emperor, I will still walk away if I am not happy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of footsteps came, and Xiao Yuan strode forward, accompanied by his hearty laughter: "Oh, I'm sorry, I was delayed by something on the way. I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting for so long."
As he spoke, he also walked into the arena, smiled and slightly arched his hands towards the three kings.
He is also dressed in royal robes, and even a fool knows that this is King Qin coming.
When King Liang saw this, he also held up his hands and smiled and said: "No, Brother Qin is too polite. I have long heard that Qin Jun is young and talented. When I see you today, the rumors are indeed true."
Although Xiao Yuan has never met the kings, he has heard about some of them. He knows that King Liang is young, no more than two years younger than him, King Huan is about thirty, slightly fatter, and King Jin is about forty, with a beard. , the expression in his eyes revealed arrogance.
When he saw it today, after a brief glance, he understood it and said with a smile: "Brother Liang Wang is joking."
King Huan, on the other hand, returned the gift with some reluctance, as if he still found it difficult to accept Xiao Yuan, the King of Qin.
Prince Jin, on the other hand, had absolutely no intention of returning the gift. He even snorted coldly, glanced sideways at Xiao Yuan, and said angrily: "In my life, I hate other people's unpunctuality the most! What airs are you putting on! Who do you think you are!"
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan laughed and said: "Brother Jin Wang is too tempered, isn't he? Although I am a step late, I have not missed the agreed time, so why do you say this?"
"Hmph!" King Jin sneered. Of course, he had reasons to dislike Xiao Yuan. First, he looked down on Qin. The previous time he led an alliance to attack Qin and was defeated, so he was already angry. Second, he looked down on Qin. Second, Xiao Yuan accepted the invitation of King Liang, which was undoubtedly equivalent to completely opposing him.
Seizing the opportunity at this time, how could King Jin not ridicule him? He couldn't help but say: "In a desolate and bitter cold place, a little monarch dares to call himself the king? How ridiculous!"
He was completely mocking him. When the other two kings saw this, they couldn't help but look at each other. Then, they didn't say anything and prepared to watch the show quietly.
When Xiao Yuan heard this, his smile did not diminish. He looked at the King of Jin and said, "Well said, Qin is indeed miserable and poor. It is a borderland of the empire and is looked down upon by you. But! I am the king of Qin. Your position in Jin is not yours to make irresponsible remarks about!"
"I was promoted..."
King Jin was about to say something, but Xiao Yuan interrupted him: "My brother King Jin, a country is strong, it's not just what you say. No matter how strong Jin is, Qin is not afraid of you. In a time of great strife, Strength speaks for itself. Qin’s ability to establish a country is due to the bloody battles of our Qin soldiers! It’s not just words like you. If Brother Jin Wang insults Qin, Qin will definitely humiliate Jin.”
"You!" King Jin was so angry that he couldn't help but point at Xiao Yuan.
"Well!? Brother Jin Wang, what is this? Could it be that you dare to point fingers at me! You can try it!" Xiao Yuan's face turned cold.
You must know that they are all kings of the same country and have the same status. King Jin couldn't help but retracted his hand when he heard this, but he sneered:
"Qin Jun has been running around for several days and worked tirelessly to come to Baize to meet the kings. However, Baize is easy to get in and is scary. There is a way when you come, but there is no way back."
This was an insinuation. When Xiao Yuan heard this, he immediately sneered and said, "So, are you threatening me?"
"Qin Jun is so arrogant and domineering, it is better to be cautious. After all, the Qin State has just been established. If the king's body is left in a foreign land and word spreads, he may be laughed at by the world." King Jin continued.
"Haha." Xiao Yuan smiled and said unceremoniously: "In this case, Brother Jin Wang, you can give it a try. If there is any harm to my group, we, the people of Qin, will definitely pick up the fight. We, the Qin State, We will definitely raise the entire nation’s army, and it will be nothing more than bloodshed for thousands of miles and millions of corpses buried in the ground!”
"Are you threatening this king!?" King Jin was furious and glared at him.
"Should I invite you to tea?" Xiao Yuan said in a loud voice, directly suppressing his momentum.
At this time, as the two kings were fighting, a general behind King Jin began to make a move. Xu Hu behind Xiao Yuan also glared and pressed the hilt of his knife.
King Liang watches a play.
Seeing that the situation was tense, King Huan quickly stood up and said to smooth things over: "Oh, you two are just joking to calm down. The scenery here is so beautiful. Why don't you go in and have tea and enjoy the scenery..."
