What group are you guys?

Chapter 554 Hongmen Banquet

The State of Chu has always been regarded as a barbarian land by the Central Plains countries. However, because the State of Chu was so good at fighting, everyone could only call it a barbarian in their hearts, but on the surface they were still respectful to the State of Chu.

This is the embodiment of strength. There are no so many messy routines in diplomacy. Whoever is stronger is the boss!

But the Baiyue could not enjoy the same treatment as the Chu State!

After all, if we can’t defeat the State of Chu, how can we defeat the Baiyue?

It can be said that the Baiyue people have been living at the bottom of society today. A bunch of slave-hunting teams are wandering around the Baiyue people every day. In the eyes of most people, the Baiyue people cannot be considered intelligent creatures at all, just like the white people in later generations captured black slaves, they just regarded them as a kind of wealth or material!
Not to mention now, even in four hundred years, during the Three Kingdoms period, the King of Wu of Wei, who was always scolded as a rat of Jiangdong, would think of beating up the Shanyue once he was bullied by Zhang Liao, and would rely on capturing the Shanyue to make up for the deficit every day.

Yan Lingji's main purpose of going to Baiyue this time was to boost Baiyue's confidence and treatment. After all, she is Madam Yan now!
In fact, Yan Lingji didn't think about this at all at the beginning. To her, it didn't matter whether they were Baiyue people, Han people or Chu people, they were all the same, none of them were good anyway.

But sometimes, when you are in a high position, even if you don't care at all, there will always be people who find ways to get your attention.

After all, there are a few smart people among the Baiyue people. Especially when it comes to taking advantage of women, the Baiyue people have an innate advantage!
The main reason why King Gou Jian of Yue was able to defeat King Fu Chai of Wu was due to Xi Shi. Now that Yan Lingji is by the side of King Tang, isn’t she equivalent to Xi Shi who was by the side of King Wu back then!
So a group of Baiyue priests went straight to Yan Lingji, first they cried about the current difficulties of Baiyue, then they repeated their childhood memories to her, and finally they respected her as the Goddess of Baiyue.

After such a series of punches, Yan Lingji's brain, which was no bigger than a walnut kernel, was instantly controlled.

Not only did she promise to fight for more rights for the Baiyue people, she even brought back a dozen carefully selected Baiyue beauties to someone. It was said that they all had some blood relationship with Xi Shi back then, and could be considered Xi Shi's descendants?
At first, I was quite angry that a bunch of old guys dared to deceive my stupid King Tang. After all, no matter how stupid my dog is, I can only bully myself. If others dare to bully my dog, it is simply against the will of heaven!
But!
Considering that the gifts sent by those old guys were quite satisfactory, King Tang thought that he could give them another chance.

"Everyone is here?"

Li Qingyuan patted Yan Lingji and let her slide down automatically, and then asked Jingwei who was standing beside him.

"Everyone is here now!"

Jingwei couldn't understand what someone was doing. In her opinion, since she knew those guys had bad intentions, why not just catch them all and kill them? Why go through so much trouble?
But it was obvious that King Tang’s bad taste was something she could not understand at all!
'Boom boom boom——'

As a drumbeat sounded, thousands of soldiers in armor entered Jicheng directly and quickly blocked all the main roads in the city.

Prince Yan and Prince Dan, who were standing at the city gate waiting for Prince Tang, were stunned when they saw these soldiers still wearing armor in the middle of winter!

Although everyone knows that the Tang army is now the elite in the world, but wearing armor in the middle of winter? That's too much!
You should know that the temperature in Jicheng is as low as minus 30 degrees Celsius. It can be said that if you reach out to hold a weapon, you will lose a layer of skin in an instant. This is why Yan State becomes safe in winter, because no one dares to use weapons in such weather!
Aren’t these armored soldiers cold?

Even in this freezing weather, Prince Dan could still feel himself sweating.

The Tang army is so powerful that even if the plan succeeds and the King of Tang is killed, these soldiers will turn Jicheng into a living hell if they take action!
But it was too late to regret now. Prince Dan could only wait for the arrival of the Tang King's carriage in the freezing cold weather.

"Kneel!" Following the order, Prince Dan had no choice but to kneel down in front of the vehicle frame with his father, uncle and others.

Originally, since the Prince of Yan had knelt down, the Prince of Tang should have come out to meet him. However, it was obvious that the Prince of Tang was extremely arrogant and did not want to meet the Prince of Yan at all. He just asked the beautiful girl beside him to come out and pass on the message.

"Everyone, get up! I heard you guys have prepared something fun in Feixue Pavilion? Just lead the way!"

Yan Lingji couldn't help but feel excited when she saw the so-called Yan nobles in front of her.

In the past, she was just a witch of Baiyue. Not only the nobles of various countries, but even the merchants from the Central Plains looked down on her. Some even locked her up in a water dungeon and prepared to auction her off as an exhibit.

But now?
Those high and mighty princes and nobles actually knelt before her like dogs, which made her feel inexplicably excited!

Yan Lingji always felt that Jingwei was quite restless. She didn't even bother her own daughter to bother those crappy Jinyiwei every day. She didn't know what she was thinking.

But now, Yan Lingji suddenly felt that she could understand a little bit of Jingwei's fun!
The people of Yan State were very angry at the King of Tang's arrogance, but except for Prince Dan, everyone else's mentality was actually okay.

After all, you have already decided to surrender and become a dog, so why should you still have any face?

In Li Qingyuan's opinion, Prince Dan's so-called assassination attempt was simply a joke. There were at least a thousand people who knew about it, and it was just like a joke.

But what is the reality?
Even Prince Yan, who was kneeling on the ground, had no idea about the assassination. He thought his son was really ready to surrender!

There is no way. Due to the limitations of the information exchange method and poor communication, even though Prince Dan’s crowdfunding assassination in Feixue Pavilion has caused a lot of sensation, in fact, no one outside the gate of Feixue Pavilion knows about it, and the King of Yan is still kept in the dark!
It sounds incredible, but a certain commander-in-chief with a great imagination said that this is actually how the world is!
Everyone from top to bottom, even other countries knew that they were going to be assassinated, but he himself didn't know!

The King of Tang embraced the beautiful girl and entered the Feixue Pavilion. However, what was a little confusing was that the King of Tang was actually wearing a bamboo hat?

Prince Dan hurriedly confirmed with the people around him whether this King of Tang was himself.

After all, shadow warriors are not just for everyday people. Stand-ins were already very popular during the Spring and Autumn Period hundreds of years ago!

However, the news he got was enough to put his mind at ease, because the King of Tang was a very strange person, and this barefoot Baiyue beauty was his most valued concubine, and no one could touch her, so this King of Tang was definitely him!

After confirming the other party's identity, Prince Dan excitedly picked up the wine glass and wanted to shake it as a signal!
