Volume 8 Chapter 144 Punishment for Understatement
It didn't take long for Qianling, Gong Ming, Xingling and other people from the North Palace to walk in with Hou Sheng, Anjou, Lilac, and Qiankui. And brought a lot of wine and food, all kinds of delicacies, and a dazzling array of dishes.
Ying Zheng and the others left tonight, frightened Qiankui and the others, and now seeing that they were all injured, they all showed their full colors to Beigong. Fortunately, they were all minor injuries, and under the wonderful hands of Qiankui, after a little treatment, there were no major problems.
Everyone sat in line, Chenxi sat barefoot, cross-legged on the main seat, and said with a smile: "My husband Yingzheng, I am about to discuss the cooperation between Beigong and the imperial family, and I won't let you sit with me for the time being." When the sword conference is over, you will also stay in the North Palace for more than half a month, and then you will be the attendant to make amends. ”
Ying Zheng smiled bitterly and said nothing, Chenxi has a strong personality, and she can sit together in private, but in public, she shows her status as the young palace master all the time. I don't want to sit together and just say it straight, and I still play such an excuse, which is really a little woman's posture.
Chenxi said lightly: "Everyone who made trouble tonight is very unpleasant, this is my Beigong's responsibility, I hope everyone will not be surprised, and when I go back, I will severely punish Mi Xiao." As for now, let her kneel for me all the time, and when we finish talking, she can go with me. ”
Everyone's noses were almost crooked, what Mi Xiao did was to kill the king and assassinate him, just kneeling, kneeling for such a short time, is it appropriate?
Sure enough, Chenxi said again: "I know that everyone is angry in their hearts, and they all blame me for being indisciplinary, but then again, can I be blamed for Beigong?" You told me that it was just a gathering of rivers and lakes, and everyone who should have come has come, and those who shouldn't have come have come. ”
"Especially Yan Dan and Negative Clan, there are a lot of things in your own family, what are you going to see in Beigong? Aren't you afraid of being accidentally killed by a friend in the rivers and lakes? Don't talk to me about any marriage, I am Yingzheng's wife, if I marry you again, then what will I do in Beigong? Could it be that the entire North Palace was moved from Zhongnan Mountain to the Chu State? Even if I am willing, many Beigong people don't want to. Therefore, your excuse, I only think that someone deliberately spreads rumors and causes trouble, and you should not open your mouth, so as not to bring shame on yourself. ”
"It's still Prince Yan, your position in the Yan Kingdom is not stable, and you can't even control the Yishui organization, how dare you go up the mountain alone? Even if you are not killed by others, if you anger my husband and detain you, you will have no place to reason. Because you entered the territory of my Great Qin, first, there was no customs clearance paperwork, second, there was no greeting from the King of Yan, and third, there was no introduction from the envoys of the Yan Kingdom, and the queen mothers in the palace were unhappy, saying that it was not impossible for you to enter Qin to spy on intelligence and turn you into a proton again. ”
Yan Dan smiled bitterly: "I understand this truth, but I have already come, and now I want to go back alone, but I don't dare." ”
Chenxi smiled: "So you have to form a group, when you come, you are sneaking, and when you go back, you have to go through official channels, and you can be safer with the Great Qin army to escort you." In my opinion, my husband should have made an agreement with you, and I won't ask more. ”
"Let's talk about Zhao Jiagongzi again, you are different from your predecessors, among all of them, you are the only one who should not come. Claiming to be the king in Daicheng has already made the royal families of all countries dissatisfied, and they still want to rob Zhao Qian of their relatives and push my Beigong to the forefront, do you believe it? Even if I kill you now, the royal families of the nations will not dare to say that I have done something wrong. ”
"If I let Xiao Xi marry you again, my Beigong will have to bear the wrath of the royal families of all countries, and I don't want to set myself on fire, so it is impossible for you to marry Su Xi. By the way, I will tell you one thing, my little sister has a shortcoming, that is, being confused. For example, what I am saying now, and let her remember that after half the time of the incense, she will forget it completely. Do you still want to marry a woman with such a distinct personality? Aren't you afraid that she will burn down your Daicheng with a fire? Don't say it's impossible, anyway, what she did, she will soon forget, and she can't answer when she asks her why. ”
Zhao Jia gasped and looked at Zhao Qian, who was smiling beside him, it turned out that many people knew about this matter, but he was the only one who didn't know.
He shook his head and said, "Zhao Jia is indeed not suitable for marrying Miss Su Xi, even if Miss Su Xi is willing, Beigong will not agree." I have even heard that Miss Su Xi often begs others to marry her, and has called countless husbands. The royal family's attitude towards you hasn't changed, if your concubine is a ...... like that."
Zhao Jia hurriedly interrupted: "Don't talk about it, I understand, I won't say it again." ”
didn't even say the following words, and dispelled the courtship of Cheng Ji and Zhao Jia, and the means had to be admired by everyone. As long as they talk about it, with their identity, they will not change their words again, and they will not even mention the marriage after hearing Chenxi's attitude.
Chenxi smiled and said, "The main characters of my Beigong are here, and many people have seen them, but you shouldn't have seen this one, that is, my name is Xiaoya." Xiaoya, toast to all distinguished guests. ”
Xiao Ya immediately got up, raised the wine bottle, and said with a smile: "Although Xiao Ya is from the rivers and lakes, she is also a member of the Mi clan, and what we are about to face is a gathering in the rivers and lakes, so let's calm everyone with a bottle of wine, which is considered to be the unhappiness brought to everyone tonight, and a bottle of enmity and hatred, how about it?" ”
Without waiting for everyone's reaction, Xiaoya raised her head and drank it, looking at everyone with a smile.
Everyone understands what it means, the etiquette has been done, if you can't let go of the resentment brought by Mi Xiao, then don't drink it. As long as you drink it, the matter will be over, and no one will be allowed to mention it again in the future.
As the saying goes, toast and don't drink and drink punishment, and this is how Beigong behaved. Those who don't drink are estimated to be driven down the mountain in the next moment, and Beigong is more willing to cooperate with people who drink.
There are all smart people here, and at the same time, everyone in Beigong showed a look of satisfaction. Drinking this bottle of wine represents that the royal family is satisfied with turning the war into jade silk, and there will be no mention of the punishment of Mi Xiao, as for how to punish Mi Xiao, it will become an internal matter in the North Palace.
Chenxi smiled: "Maybe you think that I, the master, is a bit overwhelming. But I'm a very fair person, and the reason why I don't punish Mi Xiao is also for the sake of the overall situation. There are still two hours, that is, the Sword Conference, if Beigong wants to cooperate with the royal family, I will ensure the strength of Beigong. ”
"Before that, she can't be more traumatized, I Beigong needs this strength. Today I will let her be the first to fight, no matter what the opponent's strength is, if she is lucky, she will win the opponent, and the royal family will have a light on her face; If you are unlucky, you will die in the ring, and you will be given an explanation. ”
Everyone nodded when they heard this, this is an indirect punishment, more severe than any punishment. As long as Yan Dan and a certain person want to die and directly contact a peak powerhouse to challenge in the ring, then Mi Xiao will definitely die. But everyone will give Chenxi this face, Mi Xiao's death is small, if she really dies, then her assassination tonight will be investigated by someone with a heart, and the faces of the royal family will be dull.
Zhongli, who was standing behind Yingzheng, suddenly asked, "Miss Chenxi, since you have handed over all the main characters in Beigong, I heard that there is a girl named Xiaoka in Beigong, why didn't you let her come to meet us?" We also know each other. ”
Chenxi's heart moved, saying it was unintentional, listening to it was intentional, there were too many meanings in this statement. may really want to know Xiaoka, may confirm whether it is the mysterious powerhouse they have seen in Fanjia Village, may play the hole cards of Beigong, in short, there are too many possibilities.
As long as there is any one of them, it will be unfavorable to Beigong, and among these people, only Zhongli has been suspicious. Suspect what? Doubt the authenticity of Chenyun.
Chenxi took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "Xiaoka will not come, because the place where she lives is the most secret place in the North Palace. With so many people in the house, you should always leave someone to keep an eye on it, especially when the conference is about to be held. ”
"I can reveal a little bit of Xiaoka's strength, she is stronger than grandma, as for how much stronger, you can know today. She's one of my trump cards, and I won't play it easily until the critical moment. Whether or not she can be sent depends on what kind of strong person will appear. ”
"Sister Zhongli, anyway, you will accompany Ying Zheng to live in my North Palace for a while, it is really not difficult to meet her, and there is no need to rush for a while."
Hearing such an answer, Zhongli nodded, and could only do it in his heart. Dawn's mind was too elusive, and this sentence did not reveal any meaningful information, and it was useless for that speculation.
After a casual conversation for a while, after three rounds of drinking, Chenxi spoke: "It's not too early, let's discuss business." ”
"Let me be sure first, in the Sword Conference, does the royal family want that alliance leader?"
Yan Dan, Zhao Jia, Negative and others exchanged glances, Ying Zheng drank and was silent, and several people knew who was the main one. Chenxi is Ying Zheng's concubine, on this occasion, Ying Zheng will not express his position, and if there is a contradiction, it can play a role in easing it.
"Then I will represent the royal family." ”
"Regardless of the ownership of the alliance leader, I want to ask the young palace master, why are you holding this sword discussion? According to our understanding, the Sword Conference, obviously to get rid of the demon Mo Wu'an, actually elected a Jianghu Alliance leader. Just because of this alliance leader, I have to wait for the attention of the royal family, we don't want another vassal state to appear. ”
Chenxi replied: "Good question, I hold this conference for only one purpose, and that is to explore the bottom line of the worshippers. ”
"You heard it right, that's the purpose. The reason is very simple, the offerings cannot be hidden, and each one is more mysterious than the other. I want to test the Scarlet Moon of Sword Valley and how deep its influence is on them. ”
"In the battle of blood sacrifice, those who practice martial arts in my generation will have to fight. This is the need for a joint command, who will take the lead? If no one takes the lead, it will be a plate of scattered sand, and there will be no way to achieve a joint attack. To go to war in such a situation is to send you to death, and there is no possibility of living in the slightest. ”
"We don't care if the nations compete for hegemony, but most of the warriors in the world are familiar with me, and I always have to think about these people. I'm very passive now, and I can use all forces to unite, but I can't mobilize the offerings. ”
"With this meeting, I'm sure that some of the worshippers will understand what I mean, and some will come to see me, or to fight for the leader. No matter who is the leader of the alliance, at least their own strength must be said in the past, so that it will be convincing. ”
"Maybe many people don't want to be the leader of the alliance, but just take this opportunity to ask me how I will defeat Crimson Moon."
Negative frowned and said, "Defeat the Scarlet Moon seniors? Could it be that in the public offerings, there really be people who think like that? ”
Chenxi smiled: "As long as it is a human being, it doesn't want to die, as long as there is a life-saving straw, countless people will catch it." Because they know that I have that strategy, because they know that I can be counted as dead, because they know that I am a world-renowned soothsayer. ”
"That's all that's enough."
