Jiao Wu's face darkened: "Martial Lord, what do you mean?"
He didn't curse on the spot, so he was well behaved.
On the day of his 300th birthday, in front of a crowd of guests and friends, asking his soldiers to tie up a person and bring him in was no longer rude, but a naked provocation.
"Mr. Jiao, please don't be angry." Xue Mingyi still stood there, not in a hurry: "You might as well see first whether my gift is appropriate or not."
No one dared to stop them all the way. The four soldiers held up the so-called "gifts" and walked toward the main table with clanging steps.
Jiang Wang did not expect that the birthday banquet he attended to get close to Qingyunting would see such a big drama. The strangeness of Bo Yun under the great changes in the entire Yong Kingdom seemed to be reflected in this birthday banquet.
Like all the guests who were watching, he took a curious look and saw that the person tied up was a middle-aged scribe with slightly frosty hair. There were some blood stains on his body, and he had obviously been tortured. As for more specific information,
He couldn't analyze it.
The soldiers stood still and put down the middle-aged scribe. He must have been tortured so hard that he couldn't stand firmly at all and fell down. It was the two soldiers in the back row who each stretched out a hand.
Lift him up.
Jiao Wu glanced at this man, and looked back at Xue Mingyi without any fluctuation: "I don't know this man. If he commits a crime, he should be handed over to a responsible person. If he is rude to you, you can kill him on the spot. But you don't know how to respect him.
What is the purpose of coming to my birthday banquet?"
Those who are peaceful can gain peace through their power. Once a Wei Ning gets angry, the power he has accumulated over the years will be like a landslide and a tsunami, weighing down the onlookers so heavy that they can hardly breathe.
But Xue Mingyi remained calm and unhurried.
"Mr. Jiao, please listen to my explanation."
He responded with a smile and talked eloquently: "Mr. Jiao is the leader of the country. He is highly respected and enjoys all the honors and honors. Both the deceased emperor and your majesty have great trust in you. You are a treasure trove, and you are a noble man. You are a mountain of gold and silver.
, can’t add any color to you. Xue thought about it a lot and didn’t know what gift to give.”
"It just so happened that my generals captured this man in Shun'an Mansion."
He slowly left the table, walked up to the slumped middle-aged scribe, casually grabbed his hair, and raised his head, his face clearly visible to Jiao Wu.
"This man is a spy from the Jiao Kingdom. He has sneaked into our Yong Kingdom with evil intentions! What other gift can really make Mr. Jiao happy? Only our Yong Kingdom has long-term peace and stability, foreigners are obedient, and all barbarians have surrendered. The conspiracies and machinations of other countries,
Eradicated without a trace!"
Xue Mingyi looked at Jiao Wu: "Mr. Jiao, do you think so or not?"
Everyone was silent.
Being a spy is not a big deal. But the identity of this spy is too sensitive!
Everyone knows that Jiao Wu's father was a general who surrendered to the Jiao Kingdom.
During the reign of Emperor Yongming, Jiao Wu's father was captured by Han and Zhou during a battle between the two armies, and later returned to Yong. People at the time were suspicious of him, but Han and Zhou believed in him, and even entrusted him with important responsibilities. As expected, he fulfilled his duties loyally.
He never had any different ambitions in his life. In Jiao Wu's generation, he was awarded the title of Marquis based on his merits and became the highest class of the Yong Kingdom. The Jiao family has fought hard for the Yong Kingdom for several generations, so their loyalty should no longer be questioned.
However, the name Jiaoguo is still too sensitive when it appears here and now.
The national war that took place between Zhuang and Yong was thrilling. The Yong State was once in danger of collapse. In addition to Zhuang Yong's frontal battlefield, the Luo State brazenly sent troops to join forces with the Qingjiang Shui Tribe and invaded the Lanhe River. The Jing State was in red
The horse guards went south and attacked Jing'an Prefecture.
It can be said that a pack of wolves is surrounding it, all wanting to divide and eat it.
Although only Jing and Luo are actually sending troops, are they not the only ones who are ready to take action?
The territory that the Yong Kingdom has today was conquered in one battle. The territory was established during the reign of Emperor Yongming, Han Dynasty and Zhou Dynasty.
The surrounding countries were not what they are now. The maps of the countries have changed several times. During this period, how many people were conquered and how many were deprived of their territory!
The Jiao Kingdom was a country that was directly crippled. Nowadays, the land is barren and the people are few, and the government can only barely maintain its power. After the First World War, it has never recovered. Including Jiao Wu's father, he surrendered at that time.
Jiang Wang didn't know the inside story. He didn't know the Yong Kingdom to that extent yet. He didn't know why the guests in the room became silent when he mentioned the spies of the Jiao Kingdom.
But that didn't stop him from thinking that Jiao Wu might have some kind of relationship with Jiao State.
He stood silently behind Feng Ming, trying not to attract anyone's attention.
For the Yong people present, the national war that just passed was a pain they could not forget in a short time.
And Xue Mingyi sent the Jiao State spies to Weininghou Mansion and emphasized that they were captured in Shun'an Mansion. This almost made it clear that during the national war at that time, the Jiao State was also ready to make a move, and even...
Start contacting Jiao Wu!
Throughout the country, how many people are in a situation similar to that of Weining Hou Jiao Wu? Known, unknown, overt or covert... the huge shadow has actually come.
If Han Xu hadn't turned the tide, introduced Momen, and quickly stopped the war, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
There was something wrong with the way many guests looked at Jiao Wu.
Snapped!
Snapped!
Snapped!
Jiao Wu raised his palms, and the applause was crisp and loud.
"These few words from Marquis Xue are of great significance, and they are very close to my heart!"
As he spoke, he touched his palms and stood up.
He is not tall, but rather thin. But he stands up now, like a mountain peak.
Towering, majestic, and unshakable.
He left the table and walked towards Xue Mingyi. Although he was obviously shorter than Xue Mingyi, he walked towards his food like a beast waking up.
Xue Mingyi, the martial arts lord, is of course not food. So he raised his sword eyebrows, and his whole aura also rose, high-spirited and sharp, fighting against Jiao Wu and not falling behind.
All the guests in the courtyard were worried, wondering how to handle themselves if the situation escalated.
On the other hand, Mo Jingyu still sat firmly, silently watching everything that happened in front of him without making any movement.
It was enough to express his position in the subtle confrontation between Xue Mingyi and Jiao Wu. At this moment when the two Yonghous were confronting each other and it was almost tense, if he did anything else, it would involve Han Xu's bottom line.
Yongting would not be able to tolerate him by then, and neither would the senior officials of the Momen who supported Han Xu.
Will there be a fight?
Feng Ming's breathing became a little heavier, obviously hoping that Jiao Wu, who had humiliated him, would learn a lesson. Although Jiao Wu might not know who he was and had never cared about a junior like him.
Feng Yue's expression remained unchanged, and he even took a sip of wine.
Jiang Wang understood that Feng Yue's judgment was consistent with his own. No matter what the considerations were, Xue Mingyi and Jiao Wu would not fight on the spot.
But he held the wine glass tightly and still appeared very nervous. A qualified follower should be smart, but not too smart.
Jiao Wu finally walked up to Xue Mingyi and stood opposite him.
Everyone's eyes and emotions are affected by them.
At this moment when everyone was watching, Jiao Wu said to Xue Mingyi: "How about letting me interrogate him for a few words?"
Without waiting for Xue Mingyi's reply, he added: "Please tell your Majesty that if Shi Heng is tempted to act arrogantly, even though I am old, I am willing to lead the expedition and hold his head in front of you!"
