Practicing from the Taoist

Chapter 28 Saying and
The people of Chen Guo went to the place where the princes' banquet was held just now. Along the way, everyone received a lot of attention, and all the eyes around them were always looking at them.

Arriving at the gate of the banquet hall of the feudal lords, Chen Shou did not stop, and directly led Si Bu and the two of them forward. At this moment, a Dasheng official came up to meet him, and glanced at Xu Jin and the others behind Chen Shou. Said to him.

"Next, Emperor Sheng wants to make peace between Chen Guo and Jing Guo. The people brought by the two countries can all enter the hall, and there is no need to wait outside!"

Hearing this sentence, Chen Shou nodded slightly, turned his head and said to Wu Xing: "Lead people to follow, restrain them, and remember not to lose the etiquette of my country Chen!"

"Yes!"

When Wu Xing heard the words, he immediately responded.

Turning his head, Wu Xing explained something to Xu Jin and Wang An who were behind him, and then led the crowd towards the main hall where the princes' banquet was actually held.

"Unexpectedly, under such circumstances, I would have the opportunity to enter the place where the real princes hold banquets!"

Xu Jin followed Wu Xing, looking at the majestic hall in front of her, she couldn't help but think so.

After stepping through the gate of the main hall and actually entering the main hall, Xu Jin's field of vision became extremely broad. All the layouts in the entire main hall were beyond his imagination.

At a glance, the clouds and mist in the hall are misty, but these clouds and mist do not block the sight at all. On the contrary, under the restraint of caring people, landscapes are formed in the hall.

There are the colorful Yunxia Waterfall, the auspicious beasts formed by the condensed clouds, and the unceasingly unwinding Yunxia picture scroll, which is absolutely beautiful.

Looking up, Xu Jin could see the top of the hall at all, because what he saw clearly was a piece of sky, and above the sky, there was a round of illusory sun and moon, which were at the two ends of the sky, exuding a soft glow. shine.

Under this landscape, the arrangement in the main hall is quite serious at this time. There is a small space in front of Xu Jin and others. People from Jingguo have already stood in the field. The rulers of the vassal kingdoms were already seated in three tiers on the sidelines, watching them condescendingly.

Right in front of them, there is a throne exuding divine light, which is the position of Sheng Huang. At this moment, Sheng Huang, who Xu Jin has seen through the phantom before, is sitting on the throne, and the whole body is filled with divine light, like God-like, also condescendingly looking down on them.

At this time, the atmosphere in the hall was very solemn and solemn. Being in such an occasion, Xu Jin and the others could feel the majestic eyes staring at them, and even a little movement would feel very stressful.

"I have seen His Majesty Shenghuang!"

As soon as Chen Shou and the others came in, they immediately bowed to the Sheng Huang in front of them, and Xu Jin and the others hurriedly followed.

"There is no need to be too polite, since both parties have arrived, let's get to the point!" Sheng Huang's majestic and grand voice sounded, and he was about to start talking about the point.

As soon as this remark came out, all the lords of the countries present and the people they brought with them stopped their whispered discussions, and all looked at the venue, listening carefully to Sheng Huang's next speech.

"At the feast of the feudal lords today, Chen Guo accused Jing Guo of attacking him halfway on his way to the feudal lords' banquet, and would bring blood lords and Taoist soldiers to kill most of them. Officially declare war on Chen Guo, and now I want to make peace between your two countries, hoping to eliminate the disaster of swords as much as possible, your two countries are willing to make peace at this time!"

"Chen Guo is willing!"

"Jing Guo doesn't want to!"

As soon as Sheng Huang's words fell, the voices of Chen Shou and Mu Ling sounded one after another. After they finished speaking, they looked at each other.

"Why doesn't Jing Guo want to?" Sheng Huang's voice sounded again, his tone unchanged from before.

Hearing this, Mu Ling took two steps forward, then bowed and saluted, and then said: "Your Majesty Sheng, there has been a long-standing grievance between Jing Guo and Chen Guo, and there have been many frictions in the past. Chen Guo is eloquent. At the feudal lords' banquet, they attacked our country Jing many times, and used their mouthpiece to slander our reputation."

"The successive rulers of Jingguo have been misunderstood by many princes and rulers because of their debating skills. They have wanted to fight many times, but they have never dared to use swords rashly in consideration of the people's livelihood of the two countries. His Majesty Lai Sheng is in the middle to mediate."

"However, in matters of the world, everything should not be overdone. My country Jing has tolerated it again and again, but Chen Guo still relies on debate skills many times in an attempt to slander our Jing country. The grievances have accumulated so far that it is unbearable. Besides, thousands of years ago, the land of Chen country It belongs to my country Jing, which has been established by stealing land for thousands of years, and is still so aggressive, I, Jing country, will definitely fight against it, hope the emperor will learn from him!"

Mu Ling's words were sonorous and forceful. After he finished speaking, he looked at Chen Shou with a sincere and firm look, as if Jing Guo really couldn't bear Chen Guo's humiliation, so he broke out and decided to go to war with Chen Guo of.

"Master Jing Guo's deceitful words, the sincerity of what he said, made everyone admire him very much. He said that I, Chen Guo, was good at debate, and the words of Lord Jing Guo, made everyone feel that when it comes to debate skills, I, Chen Guo, are also good at debate." We must learn more from Jing Guo!"

Chen Shou spoke with a slightly mocking tone. After saying this, he took a step forward, and then continued to speak.

"My Chen country is a small country with few people. More than a thousand years ago, it was a great fortune to invite heaven. With the support of the former emperor and the lords of the countries at that time, Chen country had a place to stand. My country's land was not stolen. I came here, but I came here aboveboard, if not for this, the late emperor and the former lords would not have supported me to establish the country, so the theory of stealing land is the imposition of Jing Guo, and it is not credible!"

"I, Chen Guo, and Jing Guo have had grievances for many years, and it is precisely because of this that Jing Guo always believes that Chen Guo steals land and often harasses me. Chen Guo is a small country with few people and weak national strength. At the banquet of the princes, please Your Majesty and the heads of the countries to uphold justice!"

Having said that, Chen Shou's voice pitched a little higher. He waved his hand at Xu Jin and the others, and continued to speak.

"Everyone, please see, this is my Daoist soldier of the Chen Kingdom. When he came with him, there were a total of [-] people, but at this time there are only less than a hundred people left. The Lord Jing said that he was on the way with my Daoist soldiers of the Chen Kingdom. Discussion, how can I ask this point of discussion so far, why did you kill most of my blood lord Taoist soldiers?"

Chen Shou's voice became more and more high-pitched, his whole face was flushed, and his emotions seemed quite agitated. The feeling of grievance between his words was vividly expressed by him at this time.

Xu Jin listened to Chen Shou's words and looked at his performance at the moment, feeling admiration for the other party's acting skills.

"At the previous banquet, the widow mentioned this matter a little bit, and it was not because he wanted to attack Jingguo. The reason for this was to be able to bring back the blood lord Taoist soldiers with less than a hundred people left alive. Words have actually become the reason for King Jing to declare war. If so, I am willing to apologize to Lord Jing. I hope you rest, and the anger of thunder will not let the people of our two countries suffer from the disaster of war!"

Chen Shou's voice gradually changed from high to low, especially when he said the last two sentences, his tone was very long, he almost paused every word, and the words between the two words were also very heavy With this tone, he fully expressed the aggrievedness and grief in his heart, and after he finished speaking, he bowed to Mu Ling and saluted, which further showed his sincerity in seeking peace.

Looking at Chen Shou who was bowing in salute, Xu Jin's admiration for his performance at this moment has risen to another level.

Regardless of Chen Shou's performance along the way, the other party's performance just now was really quite good, full of emotions, sincere words, and decent actions. It is difficult for people to pick out any faults. Xu Jin herself was somewhat affected Infected, the indifferent blood owl Taoist soldiers around him were a little moved by it.

Some of the rulers of the countries sitting around them felt sympathy for Chen Guo because of what Chen Shou said just now, but most of them took over the position of ruler not long ago. Shou's performance was completely indifferent.

"Why should the Lord Chen be so hypocritical? The grievances between you and our two countries are not as simple as your two understatements. When Chen Guo established the country, he did get the support of the late emperor and the other kings at that time. But all these years , What kind of faction is Chen Guo, the lords of the country already know it well, let you speak eloquently this time, I, Jing Guo, will definitely fight with you Chen Guo!"

Chen Shou was still bowing and saluting. Mu Ling looked at his pose, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a serious tone.

At this time, Sheng Huang who was sitting on the top spoke again.

"Master Jing, Guo Chen doesn't want to go to war, but just wants to persuade the two countries to make peace. What conditions do you have?"

Hearing Sheng Huang's words, Mu Ling hurriedly turned around, bowed again, and then spoke.

"If His Majesty Sheng Huang insists on a truce between the two countries, then Jingguo will demand all the territory of Chenguo and Chen Guo to compensate Jingguo for a god's treasure!"

Hearing Mu Ling's words, Sheng Huang turned his gaze to Chen Shou. At this moment, Chen Shou hurriedly saluted, and then said in a resentful tone.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Jing Guo said that the lower Yin is the boundary, that is, he wants nearly [-]% of my country Chen's land, and also wants my Chen country to compensate for a god's treasure, the god's treasure that my Chen country owns. There is only one thing, it is my country Chen's national treasure boat tour, the request made by Jing Guo is not sincere at all, it is impossible for me Chen Guo to agree!"

As soon as Chen Shou's words fell, the whole hall became quiet. Sheng Huang didn't speak immediately. Both Mu Ling and Chen Shou were waiting for Sheng Huang's next words.

"It seems that the reason why Jingguo made the request was only to deal with Shenghuang. In fact, he was not prepared to give up the plan to go to war at all. In this way, Shenghuang's reconciliation would have no effect at all. Jingguo's situation seems a bit Don't give Dasheng face too much!"

Xu Jin stood there motionless. At this moment, the thoughts in his mind began to turn rapidly. After watching from the sidelines for so long, he found something that was not quite right. He was determined to declare war, and he didn't give much face to Shenghuang's peace.
