Chapter 453 Chapter 451 [The beauty is angry]

After Shen Min asked this question, the other leaders couldn't help but look at Lu Chen with bright eyes.

To be fair, Lu Chen gave them a good impression today. He was neither groveling or condescending by any means necessary, and he always adhered to the bottom line and attitude of being an imperial envoy of Da Qi.

On the contrary, Shazhou people prefer this method.

Not to mention that several of the conditions given by Lu Chen were full of sincerity, especially the last proposal that the two sides would open up mutual markets and make all parts of Shazhou richer.

Although Shazhou is not as particular about leaving a name in history as Daqi is, the leaders present all understand that if the tribesmen can live a better life, their status will be more stable, and thousands of years later, there may be people offering incense. .

However, after hearing Shen Min's question, many people suddenly came to their senses.

Yes, the Qi State is now facing a powerful enemy in the north. The situation on the Jiangbei border must be very tense. At this time, Lu Chen is not leading troops at the border. Instead, he was sent to Shazhou by the Emperor of Qi State. Isn't there anyone in the Qi State court who is outstanding in eloquence? , A courageous civil servant?

The atmosphere in the lobby gradually became solemn. Facing the suspicious glances from around him, Lu Chen smiled lightly and said, "Although Chief Shen's words were compliments, they also pushed Lu to a position of public criticism. It was probably what the world often calls flattery." Bar?"

Shen Min was unmoved and pressed forward step by step: "Why does Marquis Lu care about him?"

Lu Chen said calmly: "To be honest with you leaders, Lu has made some contributions to the establishment of the border war in the past few years, but this does not mean that the Daqi border army will not fight without me. I believe you have heard of me. The names of the two commanders, Xiao Wangzhi, the Commander-in-Chief of Huaizhou, and Li Tianrun, the Commander-in-Chief of Jingzhou, all my achievements were actually obtained under their care, regardless of whether I was on the border or not, as long as the two Commander-in-Chiefs were on the border. "

Shen Min suddenly smiled, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "Why are you so hypocritical, Marquis Lu? In fact, the reason why you came to Shazhou this time is not because your emperor feels guilty at all, but because you are worried that Shazhou will fall to the north, and then let you three sides Under attack!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion in the lobby.

Lu Chen looked at the leader of the Tieyang tribe calmly, with some perhaps inappropriate emotion rising in his heart.

The discussion with Luo Yaozong a few days ago made him understand that this Yalong leader who seemed to be a reckless man was actually as meticulous as a hair, and he was quite accomplished in understanding and grasping people's hearts.

Today, Shen Min showed him an unusual strategic vision. You must know that the war between Qi Jing and Qi Jing has been going on for more than ten years, and Shazhou has always been isolated on the southwest border and has not been affected. Now, just because of his arrival, Shen Min can judge that Shazhou will become another key point in Qi Jing's fight, which shows that his mind is extremely careful and sensitive.

Although Shazhou is not a very powerful force, with only five to six million people, heroes in the world never ask where they come from, and the people here should not be underestimated either.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen said calmly: "What Chief Shen means is that what Daqi is worried about is not the seven tribes of Shazhou, but the fear that Shazhou will join forces with Jingguo to give up the northern passage to Jingjun, which will make Jingjun Can we bypass the Hengjiang Gorge and head towards the heart of Daqi?”

Shen Min said: "Isn't it? If Marquis Lu wants to deny it, then let me ask you another question. If we, the Seventh Division of Shazhou, are unwilling to accept your offer, how will Qi make a decision?"

Lu Chen quickly answered: "If the leaders firmly refuse, Lu will naturally not be able to force it. He can only maintain the previous situation and ask me to increase my preparedness towards the Chengzhou Governor's Mansion."

"I don't think so."

Shen Min narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly: "Others may be deceived by your pretending to be friendly, but I know that Marquis Lu is a decisive figure in killing. Not to mention Shazhou, which is on the opposite side of Qi State, even if it is wavering Shazhou, I'm afraid you won't accept it, because now Qi State has to face an extremely powerful enemy, and Shazhou holds the fate of your Qi State. No one in this world wants to hold his life in the hands of others. , not to mention a big man like Lu Hou who is invincible and has never failed."

"Marquis Lu, what exactly do you want to do here?"

Bai Chang, the leader of the Huining tribe, asked in a cold voice.

Behind Shen Min, Shen Tianyi couldn't help but said angrily: "Uncle Bai, this guy just wants to deceive us with his sweet words, and then either provokes civil strife in Shazhou, or finds an opportunity to lead his army in and annex our land!"

When he spoke, a group of young people couldn't help but start making noises.

In fact, the juniors from various departments in Shazhou have long been dissatisfied with this indifferent Qi Ren, but they have never had a chance to intervene.

They have different ideas from their elders. One of them has basically never experienced the ups and downs of the past, and the other is not enthusiastic about the conditions proposed by Lu Chen. After all, it is difficult for them to have the vision and thinking level of the leaders of various ministries.

The murder case nineteen years ago had the deepest impact on these young people. They often heard their elders mention the blood feud of that year, and naturally hated the Qi country deeply. Lu Chen, who was similar in age to them, was talking in the lobby of his ancestral home. , easily suppressing the light of all the young people here, which makes them even more unbearable.

On one side is unforgettable hatred, on the other side is the jealousy hidden deep in their hearts. With the two superimposed, their attitude towards Lu Chen needs no words.

"Qi people are not welcome in Shazhou, so those who know better should go back as soon as possible!"

In the commotion, someone finally shouted these words.

Luo Yaozong turned to look at Lu Chen, feeling a little worried.

Although the young people in Shazhou are young and vigorous, how can the Marquis of Qi in front of him have such a self-indulgent temperament? However, Lu Chen laughed softly.

Although the smile was light, it looked extremely dazzling in the eyes of Shazhou people. Shen Tianyi immediately scolded: "Why are you laughing?!"

Lu Chen didn't look at him at all, only looked at Shen Min and said, "Chief Shen's reasoning is wonderful, but I didn't expect these words to come out of your mouth, just as I never considered that Shazhou would side with Jing Guo. Why should I worry about something that has no chance of happening?”

Shen Min frowned and said, "It's impossible?"

Lu Chen stood up slowly, turned to look at the portraits of Shazhou's ancestors on the north wall, then looked around at all the leaders present, and said seriously: "I came to Shazhou this time to resolve the grudges from nineteen years ago. Therefore, my Majesty decided to show the greatest sincerity. Before me, Daqi sent six envoys to Shazhou with the same purpose. This is enough to show that we are determined to make up for the mistakes of the past. "

"However, you must not forget that the massacre at Yanziling in the northern suburbs of Heluo was not caused by our government. The root cause of this incident was that Jingjun wanted to kill Shazhou Erlang, and they were the ones who took action in the end. Shazhou could not I accept Da Qi’s apology, but I can’t even imagine that Shazhou would take the initiative to become Jingren’s eagle dog regardless of the blood feud of eight thousand lives!”

These words were so powerful that they suppressed all the noisy young people.

The expressions of Luo Yaozong and Yang Jin both became solemn, and even Hardy looked a little solemn. He remembered what Luo Yaozong had said to him a few days ago, and secretly thought that after returning, he should find out the details of the merchants in the north as soon as possible, so as not to become a Traitor of Shazhou.

Lu Chen's eyes stayed on Shen Min's face and asked: "Chief Shen, you have turned Jing Guo into a bargaining chip. Can I think that you actually want to cooperate with Jing Lian and then let Jing Jun enter?" Shazhou, satisfy some of your ulterior desires?"

He had long known that this visit to Shazhou was not optimistic, and was completely different from the situation he had faced before, because he could not use force, let alone bring an army to force Shazhou to submit, which greatly increased the difficulty.

If he hadn't formed a good relationship with Luo Jiujiu when he was in the capital, he wouldn't even have a chance to enter Shazhou.

Because of this, he knows that there is no point in showing weakness and surrendering. He must take the initiative at critical moments, otherwise he will be led by the nose by some people.

After all, he is an outsider to Shazhou and has no friendship with the six tribes other than the Yalong tribe.

After hearing Lu Chen's heart-wrenching words, Shen Min still remained calm, but his slightly cold eyes showed that he was not calm inside. Several leaders who were familiar with him knew better that he was suppressing his anger at this moment. .

Shen Tianyi obviously did not have his father's palace. He immediately stepped forward and cursed angrily: "How dare Qi Gou insult my father? Do you know that this is Shazhou and not Qi State! If you don't kneel down and apologize to my father today, you will never be alive." Leave Shazhou!"

But to his surprise, Lu Chen not only ignored him, but sat back calmly.

Shen Tianyi was furious, but before he could continue his roar, Luo Yaozong, who had been silent all the time, said calmly: "Xiannephew of the Shen family, Marquis Lu is my invited guest."

Everyone followed the sound.

Luo Yaozong continued: "Regarding the proposal raised by Marquis Lu, I definitely have the same position as all the leaders, but no matter whether the business can be negotiated or not, he is my guest of Luo Yaozong and the savior of my little girl. Marquis Lu Out of trust in me, I went to Shazhou in person. The Yalong Department will naturally be responsible for his safety. Please understand this and don’t lose your temper.”

Except for Shen Min, everyone in the department nodded.

The Yalong tribe is the most powerful tribe in Shazhou, and the Luo Yaozong has the power to discuss affairs. The weight of these words is self-evident.

Shen Tianyi suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "Since Uncle Luo said this, my nephew dare not be presumptuous, but we Shazhou people pay attention to the distinction between grudges and grudges. Today this person slandered my father for no reason. If I swallow this bad breath back into my stomach, I will sink." Tianyi is a son of man in vain!”

He then stared at Lu Chen and gritted his teeth and said: "I heard that you killed countless people on the battlefield, so you must not be greedy for life and afraid of death. Today I will challenge you according to the rules of Shazhou! If you don't dare to accept the challenge, don't You are talking nonsense here in the posture of being a martial artist from the state of Qi!"

Shen Min remained silent, and this attitude was enough to explain some problems.

The heads of the various departments looked at each other in confusion. Shen Tianyi took out the rules passed down by his ancestors in Shazhou. It was really difficult for them to stop them.

Because the move has turned from a public matter to a personal vendetta.

Qin Zilong and others standing behind Lu Chen were extremely angry. They looked at Shen Tianyi as if they were looking at a dead person. However, they knew that the overall situation was more important. If Shen Tianyi was really killed, the trip to Shazhou would only end in failure. end.

Even so, they would not sit back and watch their prince being bullied.

But Lu Chen coughed slightly, and Qin Zilong and others could only stop the steps they were about to take.

At this moment, a whip was heard suddenly exploding at the entrance of the lobby, followed by a cold voice that reached everyone's ears.

"Shen Tianyi, I'm here to fight you, don't admit defeat if you dare!"
