As night fell, Chen Lu took a bath, changed his clothes, and went to the banquet.
Regarding Qi Guo's envoy, Chen Lu didn't care and didn't feel much pressure.
Anyway, who can win the support of the Western Region depends on the conditions given by both parties.
After all, neither Qi State nor Qian State had any other friendship with the Western Regions.
Moreover, we are all adults. Even if there is so-called affection, it is completely insufficient in the face of absolute conditional interests.
There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests.
This sentence still makes sense.
Under the leadership of a maid, Chen Lu came to a main hall.
There are several tables and cushions placed in this hall.
This kind of seat is similar to Qianguo, which is a very classical style.
There is a maid serving beside each table.
And there is only Ji Ying alone in this hall.
At this time, Ji Ying was looking at Chen Lu with a half-smile.
Chen Lu was not polite and sat down at a seat near Ji Ying, although this seat was a little far away from Ji Ying.
This may be Ji Ying's deliberate arrangement. What she wants is to secretly tell Qi Guo and Qian Guo that the relationship between you and me is not that close, and you have to show enough sincerity to impress me.
"The envoy from Qiguo has arrived."
Following the maid's call, an old man, a woman and three men came over.
Chen Lu raised his head and looked, still with some expectation in his heart.
The main reason was that Chen Lu thought that Qi Guo might ask Qing Lian to serve as an envoy to the Demon Sect of the Western Regions.
I can see Qinglian again here.
But if you think about it carefully, how is this possible?
Qing Liangui is the princess of Qi State, in other words, she is the head of a country. According to common sense, it is impossible for her to go as an envoy to the Western Regions. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, it will be very troublesome.
"I've seen the saint."
Several people walked into the hall, bowed to Ji Ying, and then turned their attention to Chen Lu.
Seeing Chen Lu wearing the white uniform of the Qianguo Town Transport Envoy, he knew the identity of the other party without even thinking about it.
However, I don’t know what Qian Guo was thinking about sending a Zhenyun envoy as an envoy to the Western Regions.
Wu Sha's eyes lit up. She didn't expect that the man sent by Qian Guo would be so young and good-looking.
Wu Sha did not underestimate Chen Lu. Since Chen Lu could bear such a big responsibility, he must have something special about him.
"You're welcome, please take a seat."
Ji Ying smiled politely and did not ask why their princess didn't come.
Qi Guo had already said hello beforehand, saying that their princess was a little uncomfortable and would apologize in person tomorrow.
Everyone has mentioned it for this reason, so naturally they are not denying themselves face.
Maybe there is something wrong with her health.
But it doesn't matter.
Ji Ying looked at Chen Lu from time to time, wanting to see what his reaction was.
However, Ji Ying was a little disappointed because Chen Lu was very calm.
"Let's serve."
Ji Ying greeted the maid beside her.
Waitresses came one after another with dishes.
Chen Lu didn't say anything. He was sitting in his seat and eating.
The dishes from the Western Regions are quite good, a bit spicy, which suits my taste.
Even Chen Lu is still not used to sitting on his knees, and his feet feel a little numb.
Qi Guo's envoys did not immediately discuss the conditions given by Qi Guo. Instead, they chatted with Ji Ying to deepen the relationship between the two parties.
Chen Lu also listened patiently.
After three rounds of drinking.
It seems that these young people in Qiguo really can't bear it any longer.
Duan Yi finally spoke:
"Lord Saint, now that we have been working hard for the country for so many years, we are already fully prepared.
If the Holy Lady can say a few nice words in front of the seventy-two demon gates in the Western Region and get the support of the Western Region, we will definitely be able to overthrow the Qian Kingdom and accomplish great things by working together!
At that time, the seventy-two sects in the Western Region can open new branch sects in Qiguo.
Qi State and the seventy-two sects of the Western Regions will reach a profound strategic agreement, and Qi State and the Western Regions will be in the same boat.
The affairs of the Western Regions are the affairs of our country."
After finishing speaking, Duan Yi glanced in the direction of Chen Lu, his eyes full of contempt. Not only did he not take Chen Lu seriously at all, but he also had a sense of provocation.
Ji Ying did not answer immediately, but waited for Chen Lu to speak.
But Chen Lu still didn't speak.
"What do you think of Mr. Chen?"
Ji Ying asked Xiang Chen Lu.
If Chen Lu doesn't speak, then I will force Chen Lu to speak!
"Ah, me."
Chen Lu smiled and drank a glass of wine.
"Chen doesn't like to do all those fancy things, like painting big cakes and the like.
What Chen can replace His Majesty's gift is actually not much.
If the Western Region can stand by and watch, then the seventy-two sects of the Western Region will become the guests of the Qian Kingdom, and the four major academies will provide certain quotas for the seventy-two sects of the Western Region.
In addition, the Qian Kingdom also plans to open a Silk Road to open up trade routes with the Western Regions, so that the two sides can trade with each other.
I heard that the sects in the Western Regions are having some trouble with the Buddhist Kingdom.
Isn't this a coincidence?
Our country’s impression of the Buddhist country is not very good either.
If one day there is a conflict between the Western Regions and the Buddhist Kingdom, our country will definitely stand in the direction of the Western Regions."
"Haha." Jin Nan sneered, "Qian Kingdom is about to perish, so what qualifications do we have to help the Western Regions?"
As soon as Jin Nan finished speaking, the old man sitting next to him with his eyes closed opened his eyes slightly and frowned.
When Jin Nan said this, he showed no concern for his face at all.
"Oh? How strange? How can a person who has subjugated his country and is still living in the Miao border say the words of subjugating his country? Who gave you the confidence?"
Jin Nan no longer cares about face, and Chen Lu is even more happy.
This shows that you don’t have to worry about your demeanor, you can even have the ultimate bad breath and enjoy yourself to the extreme.
"My country will not be destroyed!"
With a "pop" sound, Qin Xiang stood up, looking very excited.
"Not dead?"
Chen Lu sneered.
"In the year 2034 of the Warring States Period, the state of Qian and the state of Qi went to war, and the cavalry company of the state of Qian attacked the thirty-two cities of Qi state."
"In the year 2036 of the Warring States Period, the Qian State's 300,000-strong army attacked the Correspondence Pass. On the 30th, the pass was broken, and the southern part of the Qi State was completely lost."
"In the year 2037 of the Warring States Period, the King of the Northern Wilderness led the Northern Wilderness cavalry across the Huaihe River and straight into the hinterland."
"In the year 2038 of the Warring States Period, Lu Wenlong, the swordsman of the Qi Kingdom, defended the city alone. He overestimated his own strength and died of exhaustion."
"In the year 2040 of the Warring States Period, there were only ten cities left in the Qi Kingdom."
"In the year 2044 of the Warring States Period, the Qi Kingdom fell. The Qian Kingdom's army entered the imperial capital of Qi Kingdom and entered the palace. All the concubines in the Qi Kingdom Palace committed suicide, and the country was destroyed."
"It turns out that in your eyes, this is not called subjugation of the country. You are really a bit thick-skinned."
