The queen cried the whole harem

Yan Lang listened for a while through a city gate, and thought coldly in his heart that he was really here to throw dirty water on him, and then pull Qi Guo down as well.

Now in this situation, the Jiang people clearly have the upper hand. The towering city wall will be difficult to capture for a while. However, the Jiang people do not put up the white flag under such circumstances. It seems that they also want to fight.

Since he wanted to fight, didn't he take advantage of their wishes by cutting down the white flag?
Why are you still so aggressive?

It's just that they thought they might not be able to win against Qi, so they worked hard on their words.

Yan Lang sneered, just a coward.

Yan Lang asked the soldiers to open the city gate, and he rode out.

Xu Tianling was still shouting. In fact, she had been shouting for a long time. Her mouth was already dry and she had finished drinking the water she brought. She was a little upset. She thought that Yan Lang really wouldn't come out, right?
But with a roar, the city gate opened, and Yan Lang rode straight towards her.

The boy today is different from the boy that day. The boy that day was wearing coarse linen clothes, but the boy today, not to mention how expensive he was dressed, looked better than what he wore that day. His expression was cold and stern, exuding an indescribable majesty.

On that day, he looked frustrated.

Thinking of how she had been deceived, Xu Tianling was furious. Before Yan Lang could approach on horseback, she said loudly: "Yan Lang, you liar!"

Yan Lang snorted coldly and ignored her. He just approached her and took out a letter from his pocket. He handed it to her: "This is a letter from our Marquis Huang Wu to your Majesty. You can take it back to your Majesty. I won't follow you." You argue, you want to argue, and when Your Majesty agrees, I will accompany you to the end."

After saying that, he forcefully threw the letter into Xu Tianling's arms and quickly rode back to the city.

Xu Tianling shouted from behind: "Yan Lang, what do you mean! Speak clearly before leaving!"

Yan Lang quickly returned to the city without stopping, and the city gate closed again.

Xu Tianling cursed for a while, then lowered her head to look at the letter in her arms.

She picked up the letter and read it. She didn't dare to open it privately, so she had to go back with the letter and tell Xu Shui the situation.

Xu Shui immediately took the letter to see Jiang Chengchi.

Jiang Chengchi asked: "Yan Lang didn't argue with Xu Tianling, but only gave this letter to Xu Tianling?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, Tian Ling said so."

Jiang Chengchi remained silent and slowly opened the letter.

The content of the letter is as follows:
"Your Majesty Jiang, today you asked Xu Tianling to call for battle in front of the city gate of Qi. We are unable to respond. After all, we Qi people do not recognize what Xu Tianling said. If you Jiang people feel that the fault lies with us Qi people, you can send a few highly respected people. When people come out, we from Qi State will also send out a few highly respected people. The two sides will sit together and discuss in a friendly manner who is right and who is wrong in this matter. Is there any right or wrong? This is related to the reputation of the two countries. Yi, I think His Majesty Jiang will not refuse, right? After all, if he refuses, it seems that you, Jiang, are guilty and do not dare to accept the challenge."

Jiang Chengchi was furious after reading the letter.

It was clearly the Qi people who were wrong first, but now it seems that they, the Jiang people, were wrong.

Moreover, Huang Xurong’s letter is clearly a provocation!
Jiang Chengchi said angrily: "Who dare not accept the challenge? Yes!"

Xu Shui saw the king angrily throwing the letter to the ground. He paused, stepped forward to pick up the letter, and took a look.

After reading it, to be honest, I was very angry.

Jiang Chengchi asked someone to call Sun Changce, Zhao Xiang, Wang Pei and others over and let them all read the letter.

Sun Changce, Zhao Xiang, Wang Pei and others were all very angry after reading this letter.

Sun Changce said: "Huang Xurong is so provocative. Is it because Qi State has some good ideas?"

Zhao Xiang frowned and said: "This is a fight, there is no guarantee of victory or defeat. Your Majesty asked Xu Tianling to call for battle in front of the gate of Qi State City to ruin Yanlang's reputation. Huang Xurong came up with a trick to draw fire from the bottom of the cauldron and let the two countries spread the matter on the table. To put it bluntly, in the future, the Jiang people can no longer use this incident to tarnish Yanlang’s reputation, otherwise it will become the fault of the Jiang people.”

"There will be no winning or losing in this matter, because there is no winning or losing in the first place. What Huang Xurong wants is for people from both countries to witness that there is no right or wrong in this matter. He wants to spread such news , let everyone know that there is no right or wrong in this matter, only strength and weakness. Just because the Qi people succeeded, the fault cannot be blamed on the Qi people."

Wang Pei was puzzled: "But it was indeed Yan Lang who cut off the white flag above our city wall. This was originally the fault of the Qi people. Why is there no right or wrong? This is obviously the Qi people who made a mistake."

Zhao Xiang was older and had seen things more clearly. He said: "We all know that the party that hangs the white flag cannot declare war. First, it cannot take the initiative to declare war. Second, it cannot passively accept the declaration of war. In other words, once the white flag is hung above the city wall, White flag, then the whole city will be safe."

"This is something that everyone has tacitly accepted for hundreds of years, but no country has specifically defined this matter in a code. And everyone's tacit understanding is just to hang up the white flag and not declare war, but there are no regulations. If you hang the white flag, you can't let others Cut off the white flag."

"The custom that has been passed down for hundreds of years is that if the white flag is hung, the white flag cannot be cut down. Once anyone cuts down the white flag, they will be criticized. But this is just a custom and has not been written into the code. It has not been written into the code. This is It’s not a crime, so there’s no way to accuse anyone, let alone prove anyone’s guilt.”

"Huang Xurong is a veteran. He must have thought of this, so he is so confident."

As a king, Jiang Chengchi did not do much at first, but later he worked hard to make progress. In addition to improving his martial arts, he also enriched himself with reading, and with the help of Uncle Jiang, he learned how to govern the country.

After studying the way of governing the country, it is natural to be very clear about each code. Indeed, no code stipulates this matter, and no one has listed specific details for hanging the white flag on the city wall. In short, it is a matter for everyone. It is something that everyone knows and acquiesces to, but cannot be defined by any code.

If Huang Xurong seizes this loophole, then Jiang Guo's side will really not be able to win the fight.

Jiang Chengchi looked gloomy and asked Zhao Xiang: "Does Marquis Zhao Wu have any way to break this situation?"

Zhao Xiang shook his head: "No."

Then he said: "But your Majesty, don't worry too much. Wen Du is just a means. It can throw dirty water on Yan Lang and bring Qi down. That is of course excellent, but if this goal cannot be achieved, let the people of Qi It is also good to admit that they did act like a villain and sneaked into Guancheng, our country, and cut down the white flag above our city."

"Even if the fight is tied or lost, it shouldn't be a loss. There is no winning or losing in this matter. At most, it is a tie. But even if it is a tie, right and wrong are still in the hearts of the people."

"The most important thing is not the civil struggle, but the military struggle. The winner will be the king or the bandit, and the winner will have the most say. If Jiang State loses to Qi State, even if we get the support of the people in this civil war, we can still win. If we lose the battle or lose our territory, the people will still support Qi in the end. On the contrary, if we win, we can correct this mistake in the future and pour all the dirty water on the people of Qi. "

After he finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Chengchi, hoping that Jiang Cheng could also understand that the so-called winning or losing was actually not on Douwen's table, but on the bloody battlefield.

If you want to have the absolute right to speak, you must have absolute strength.The reason why the people of Qi are so arrogant is simply because they have won several battles in a row before, and now, there is a patron saint in Qi.

If the people of Qi had nothing, were weak and poor, and had no patron saint to protect them, would they dare to be so arrogant?
They dare not.

Therefore, the most fundamental reason lies in the strength of the country and the strength of the soldiers. Only when the strength rises can the Qi State be suppressed, whether on the table of Dou Wen or on the battlefield of Dou Wu.

Zhao Xiang said it so clearly, how could Jiang Chengchi not understand?He understood.

It's just that he doesn't want to lose to the Qi people anymore.

Moreover, such a good opportunity cannot be missed!

Jiang Chengchi frowned and said, "What Marquis Zhao Wu means is that we can just let nature take its course in this matter?"

"Yes, just let nature take its course. We can dispatch a few highly respected people here, but His Majesty will arrange for Xu Tianling to be the one who really fights for literature. If we win, it will be the glory of our Jiang people. If we lose, it will not be known to the outside world. It’s a little girl’s nature. She was cheated and felt unhappy. She insisted on asking Yan Lang for an explanation. We are just complying with the wishes of the people.”

Jiang Chengchi didn't want to let nature take its course. He asked Xu Tianling to call for formation in front of the city gate of Qi State just to throw dirty water on Yan Lang and make Qi State bear the reputation of a villain and prepare for future wars. Even in the end, Qi State would still be united. Even if the country wins, the people of Qi will still be despised.

The second is that it would be better if we could take this opportunity to capture or kill Yan Lang.

But Yan Lang has magical powers, and it is very difficult to catch him or kill him.

It’s okay not to arrest him or kill him, but it’s okay to disgust him.

But in the end, Yan Lang was not disgusted, but rather disgusted himself.

Go with the flow?

That's still useful!
Jiang Chengchi was angry and depressed. He thought about it and felt that what Zhao Xiang said was reasonable, but it felt aggrieved for him to accept it. He sat there for a long time without saying a word.

Zhao Xiang looked at the king's face and saw that the king's face was not good, so he stopped talking.

Wang Pei and Xu Shui didn't dare to talk casually.

Sun Changce provided Jiang Chengchi with a step forward: "Your Majesty, just follow what Marquis Zhao Wu said! We have nothing to do with Yan Lang anyway, so why not let Xu Tianling deal with him? Maybe Xu Tianling can fight Yan Lang?"

Jiang Chengchi said coldly: "Why is there no other way? I don't want to satisfy the people of Qi. What I want is to pour dirty water on Yan Lang. It doesn't matter whether Yan Lang can get out or whether he should fight or not. As long as the world knows that Xu Tianling went to call Yanlang because Yanlang deceived her and ignored the agreement between the two countries, he sneaked into Jiangguoguan City and chopped off the white flag of our Jiangguo people."

"It would be better if Yan Lang didn't come out to solve the problem. Then Xu Tianling would have to stay for more days. If it takes one or two days, the news won't get out. If it takes three, four, ten and a half months, the news won't get out? I want to make it happen." Xu Tianling goes to the gate of Qi State City every day to call for formation, causing everyone in the world to know."

After listening to Jiang Chengchi's words, everyone looked at each other.

Xu Shui hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, Tianling may not be able to bear it. It's okay to shout for a day or two. If she shouts for ten days or half a month, her voice will probably be damaged."

Even worse, he might die.

He was not killed by Qi people, but died of exhaustion or illness.

Jiang Chengchi said indifferently: "She is still waiting for the crime. When this matter is settled, I will forgive her crime."

Previously, Xu Shui agreed to let Xu Tianling go to the gate of Qi State City to call for formation. He thought that Yan Lang would definitely come out, and his daughter would not have to suffer too much.

But now, he clearly heard the meaning of the king in front of him, which was to let his daughter pass day by day.

Yan Lang has already come out and will not come out a second time. So if his daughter goes out this time, it will not be to call for battle, but to die.

Xu Shui looked at Wang Pei as if asking for help. Wang Pei had no choice but to cup his hands and said: "Your Majesty, since the people of Qi have written this letter, it means that they will not let Yan Lang leave the city again. So when Xu Tianling goes..."

"Didn't you understand what I said? What I want is not who's life or death, nor who's winning or losing. What I want is to make this matter known to the world. What Marquis Zhao Wu said just now is very good, justice is in the heart of the people, I want it This justice will spread to all corners of the world."

Wang Pei was choked by the king and did not dare to speak anymore. He glanced at Xu Shui helplessly and shook his head.

Xu Shui grieved and prayed: "Your Majesty, Tianling has just come back and her voice is a little hoarse. Can you let her rest and go to the Qiguo City Gate to call for formation tomorrow?"

"Okay, I don't want her life. She has to go to Qiguo City to call for battle every day, but she doesn't have to stay for a day. If she feels uncomfortable, she can come back early to recuperate and go back the next day."

Xu Shui was extremely grateful: "I would like to thank Your Majesty on behalf of my little daughter."

Jiang Chengchi waved his hand to let him and Wang Pei go down, and then threw the letter written by Huang Xurong into the brazier as if to vent his anger.

Xu Tianling stayed at home to nurse her voice that day and did not go to the gate of Qi Guocheng again.

After Xu Shui returned, he told Xu Tianling the king's request.

Xu Tianling obliged and said: "Dad, I will go. I will go every day. Even if His Majesty does not ask, I will insist on doing this. Dad, tell me what is written in that letter. My daughter needs to know what the Qi people are planning."

Xu Shui sighed and roughly stated the contents of the letter: "Your Majesty did not accept the proposal of the people of Qi, so you are asked to go there every day."

Xu Tianling sneered and said: "This Huang Wuhou of Qi State is brave and resourceful. It is obviously a small matter that the little daughter's family is dissatisfied with, but it has been defined as a national event by him. Your Majesty is right not to agree to him. If Your Majesty agreed, and you fell into his trick."

Xu Shui frowned and said: "That's true, but wouldn't it be great to solve the problem at once? Then you don't have to run to the gate of Qi State City every day. You are delicate and have no martial arts practice. You have to run twice a day. The weather is fine, but if you run every day, I’m afraid your body won’t be able to bear it.”

"I'm fine, dad. Didn't His Majesty say that if I'm tired or feel uncomfortable, I'll come back right away, rest, and go back the next day. Also, if my throat feels uncomfortable, I won't call for battle. Just ride a horse and hang around in front of the gate of Qi State, disgusting them."

Xu Tianling is a good girl, but it's a pity that she is from Jiang Guo. She considers everything for Jiang Guo. She is a villain. I will write her to death.
