Daqin Zhentiansi

Chapter 256: According to the temperament of the Qin people, what should we do when we meet our enemies?
"The Qin people have arrived. The head of the delegation is Xiao Lou, the son-in-law of the Minister of Personnel Sima Qingguang."

In the courtyard of the Xichang City Posthouse, a middle-aged man in a gray robe spoke in a loud voice.

"Well, the number of people they brought is not too many, more than 300. It seems that this time the Qin people can only hold their noses and watch the Beiyan Zhenxihou family marry into the royal family." The forty-year-old warrior with a golden crown on his head and a gleam in his eyes, who was opposite the gray-robed middle-aged man, whispered.

"Haha, anyway, no matter whether the Qin people take any action this time, it will be a good thing for our Qi State." The middle-aged man in gray robe stood up and straightened his clothes.

"Xiao Lou and I met in the Qin capital. I'm going there to get a feel for the Qin people."

……

Xichang City, garrison.

In the back hall, Ouyang Shucai, Marquis of Zhenxi, was sitting upright, and in front of him were several Northern Yan generals who had come to greet the Qin envoys.

"My lord, Xiao Lou, the head of the Qin delegation, is a man who is bold and unscrupulous. He abandoned his wife and joined the Shangshu Mansion. Judging from his style, it is impossible for him to just watch the ceremony." The middle-aged general who spoke looked up.

"Indeed. Also, we have observed along the way that, apart from the two hundred Wuwei and Qingxuanwei, among the more than one hundred people gathered around Xiao Lou's carriage, there are at least two people in the late Xiantian realm."

Another big man with a solemn aura said in a deep voice.

"One of them has an erratic aura, he must be a eunuch."

As for the Qin delegation, these people have already gained almost all the information they need while accompanying them along the way.

Ouyang Shucai nodded and waved his hand, saying, "Thank you for your hard work."

Several people bowed hurriedly and left the back hall.

As he watched several people step out, Ouyang Shucai's eyes flashed with a deep light.

……

Outside the garrison, there is a small building.

Ouyang Ming, who was wearing a black brocade robe, waved his hand and asked the soldiers standing respectfully in front of him to withdraw.

These soldiers were going to welcome the Qin delegation and came all the way here.

"From this perspective, the Qin people's final deployment is among the hundred or so people led by Xiao Lou."

A voice sounded behind Ouyang Ming.

She was a woman wearing a long red dress with charming eyes and eyebrows.

Her long hair was loose, her lips were red as fire, and she stretched out her hand to press on Ouyang Ming's shoulder, and the light red fish scales on the back of her hand flashed by.

Ouyang Ming smiled and reached out to touch the woman's hand, but the woman quietly pulled it away.

"Prince Consort, the princess asked me to help you, not to be bullied by you..." The woman giggled and leaned slightly towards Ouyang Ming. The soft touch made Ouyang Ming's heart flutter. He reached out to hug her, but caught nothing.

The woman's figure was as light as a swallow. She landed on the long table in front of Ouyang Ming, stretched out her jade-white legs, and pressed them against Ouyang Ming's chest.

"Prince Consort, I am yours after all, why are you so anxious?"

"As long as you, my husband, take control of the Zhenxi Army, I will be with the princess when the time comes..."

The woman's eyes were like water. Ouyang Ming laughed heartily, stretched out his hand, held the woman's legs, and moved forward until he reached the deepest part, then stopped.

"Don't worry, once the Heavenly Demon Palace is fully equipped, the Zhenxi Army will be at my fingertips."

"but--"

Ouyang Ming's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and a demonic pattern appeared between his eyebrows.

"Ouyang Xu must die."

--------------

Xichang City, Yanyu Lake in the south of the city.

The lake is clear and the cruise boat is floating.

The army stationed in Xichang City usually has a solemn atmosphere, but recently it has become more lively because of the marriage between the Zhenxi Marquis Mansion and the royal family.

Two figures sat facing each other on a small green wooden boat with a black sail.

After coughing a few times, Ouyang Xu looked up at Princess Fengming opposite him.

"Actually, I know that I, Ouyang Xu, am not worthy of you, Princess."

Ouyang Xu's voice was filled with disappointment.

Princess Fengming wanted to speak, but Ouyang Xu raised his hand to stop her.

"Whether in Fengtian County or this time in Xichang City, your bravery and decisiveness are unmatched by me."

"If you were a man, you would crush your peers."

Ouyang Xu shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Princess Fengming pondered for a moment and listened quietly.

How to say it, Ouyang Xu is already the best among his peers in terms of cultivation, talent, and family background, and can be considered a good match.

At least at the gathering of the elites of Zhengyang County, no one showed talent and ability that surpassed Ouyang Xu. However, it was meaningless to say this now.

"If I had announced my intention to join Qin directly in Fengtian County, my father would have led the Zhenxi Army—"

Ouyang Xu didn't say anything else and turned to look at the water outside the boat.

In the past few days, he has been boating with Princess Fengming and playing in the city together.

He understood that Princess Fengming wanted to use his power to do something.

To be honest, he was really moved.

"Fenglan," Ouyang Xu took a deep breath and clenched his fists, "I will give you an explanation."

Princess Fengming chuckled softly, then placed her hand on the zither in front of her.

The sound of the jade harp is tinkling.

On the lakeshore, Ouyang Shucai, wearing a brocade robe, stood with his hands behind his back, raised his head slightly, and looked to the other side.

Beside the woods on the river bank stood a figure wearing a black robe and carrying two swords.

……

Xichang City, post station.

Zhang Yuan arrived at Xiao Lou's study and saw that Xiao Lou and Han Xiao were already dressed.

Both of them were wearing blue Confucian robes with wide sleeves, silk scarves and jade belts, looking quite elegant.

Xiao Lou was able to marry into the family of the Minister of Personnel, so he did have some male charm. Now that he is older, he has a bit more dignity.

As for Han Xiao, being young is enough.

"Qi's envoy, Zhou Jinzhong, has invited us to a banquet."

Xiao Lou stood up and walked out of the study, saying with a smile, "There's no good banquet."

"There is also Sun Jia, the head of the Wei delegation. He is a man of great literary talent and has achieved great accomplishments in calligraphy and painting." Han Xiao spoke with a serious expression on his face.

Xiao Lou nodded and turned to look at Zhang Yuan, who was wearing a martial arts robe and a long sword hanging from his waist.

"Captain Zhang, remember, although this isn't a formal occasion, attending this gathering means you're representing the Great Qin. You must uphold the dignity of the Great Qin."

"Don't be rude in your speech, be careful and polite in your actions."

After saying that, he straightened his clothes and strode forward.

The three of them passed through several gates and arrived at the guesthouse where the banquet was held in the inn.

There were already several people waiting in front of the building.

Zhang Yuan looked over and saw that there were a few scholars leading the way, and the warriors standing next to them all had tall and straight figures and strong auras.

The people over there bowed when they saw Xiao Lou, Zhang Yuan and the other two coming.

"No need to bow. When you surrender to the Great Qin one day, just kneel down with your clothes off." Xiao Lou waved his sleeves, pushed away the people in front of him, and walked straight into the guest building.

"Fatty Zhou, where is the banquet? Your Qi State is so poor, there won't even be meat at the banquet, right?"

Xiao Lou's voice was extremely penetrating.

Zhang Yuan watched as the warriors from Qi and Wei standing nearby flushed red in the face, their blood and vital energy surging.

Two people in the middle stage of the Xiantian realm.

On the side, Han Xiao gave Zhang Yuan a wink.

Zhang Yuan quickly stepped forward and protected Xiao Lou from behind.

He was afraid that Xiao Lou would be struck by lightning.

"Counselor Xiao, why are you so harsh? You represent the Qin State—" Zhou Jinzhong, the slightly shorter and fatter leader of the Qi delegation in a gray robe, shook his head and raised his hand to signal Xiao Lou to move forward.

Xiao Lou stopped, turned around, and looked at Zhou Jinzhong and others.

"Who said I'm here to attend the banquet on behalf of Daqin?"

He glanced at Zhang Yuan and said, "Captain Zhang, tell them, according to the nature of the Qin people, what should we do when we encounter our enemies?"

Zhang Yuan placed his hand on the hilt of the knife, took a step forward, and said calmly, "Kill him."

At the entrance of the guesthouse, the atmosphere froze instantly, and the Qi, blood and true essence of several warriors surged.

Xiao Lou waved his hand, turned around and walked forward.

"Don't worry, you are not my Qin people's enemies."

"You are not worthy yet."
