Baideshan, the minister of rites in Xiliang, looked up curiously at the young man who got off the official boat first. He was really a young man, very young, but he looked about eighteen or nineteen years old. He was thin and handsome, but not a scholar. He has a sour and rotten smell, and his temperament is graceful and calm, like the towering distant mountains covered with snow. It makes people forget his age after just one glance. His eyes are also very special. They are not as sharp as many young and successful ministers, but rather He was misty and gentle, unable to see through the world in his eyes. He casually put on a blue brocade robe and got off the boat with ease. It was obvious that he was used to the big scene. The early autumn sunlight hit his shoulders, and his whole person was as bright as gold.
Is this Wei Zhi, a scholar from the Tiansheng Kingdom with an unparalleled reputation and a reputation as a genius?
Sure enough… special.
“Is that Wei Zhi?”
“So young… They say he is versatile in both civil and military affairs. He is Emperor Tiansheng’s favorite minister, but I don’t know whether it is true or not.”
“Of course it is true, otherwise why would you send him here? Xiliang and Tiansheng have never been friends.”
“He is still a handsome young man, hehe… he is a perfect match for my little Taoer…”
“Bah, who are they? A girl from your mountain village also wants to have a dragon and a phoenix? You from the Liu family really dare to think so!”
“How come you all know this person?”
“Why don’t you know? That year he went to the South China Sea to suppress bandits and killed many pirates. My aunt’s family is close to the sea in the South China Sea. She said that their place has become much quieter later. Speaking of which, we in Xiliang can also be considered as inheritors. What a favor!”
Some people watching the excitement were talking casually, but there were also more people who stayed away from each other and looked at the bright and huge Tiansheng envoys with cold and vigilant eyes.
When Bai Deshan heard the people behind him pointing and marveling, he realized that he was actually staring at others, and this posture of looking up and staring was a bit undermining the prestige of our country, thinking about the regent before he left. Regarding the instructions of “Be respectful but not accommodating”, I couldn’t help but sweat broke out on my back.
Hurry forward, stop three steps away, and bow lightly as the ceremony official sings, “I have met the Marquis of Wei. The Marquis of Wei has come from afar. My country has missed the opportunity to welcome you. I am sorry for the Marquis of Wei.”
“It’s easy to talk.” Feng Zhiwei had already seen the other party’s gaffe, and shook his hand with a smile, saying: “Thank you for welcoming me from afar, Wei Zhiwei is very frightened. Your country is rich in resources and people, and the scenery is pleasant. , it’s really dazzling, and I have to trouble you to explain it all the way to a bumpkin like me, please, please.”
Her tone of voice was modest and her eyes were kind, which made people fall in love with her at first sight. Shilang Bai had heard a lot about the “great achievements” of this important minister of Tiansheng, so he was a little wary and nervous. However, Feng Zhiwei was kind and measured. The refreshing attitude made him immediately relax and laugh quickly. Both parties introduced their entourages and handed over the etiquette. After a lot of excitement, they continued on their way.
According to Bai Deshan’s intention, he would rest here for a night and then move on the next day, but Feng Zhiwei insisted on getting on the road immediately – this is the border between southern Fujian and Xiliang, and the border area has always been the place with the most friction. , after many years, it is inevitable that there will be grudges. Putting aside these, when my mother led her troops to expel Yin Zhiliang from the hinterland of Tiansheng, the border of southern Fujian was the most intense place of war.
When she discussed with Bai Deshan, her tone was gentle but insistent. Bai Deshan was determined to follow the regent’s instructions to “respect but not accommodate”, but found that negotiating with the Wei Marquis was completely in vain. No matter what you wanted, No matter what wishes you want to express, you will eventually be guided by him. This person will just smile lightly, listen to what you say, express his agreement with your opinion, and then – do his own thing.
Often before the conversation is finished, you already feel stupid for persisting, because only the other party is right.
Baideshan learned Feng Zhiwei’s art of negotiation. He thought that he could learn this and it would be useful in negotiations in the future, so he arranged for people to explore the way out. He brought a thousand guards to welcome the Tiansheng envoy team. According to Feng Zhiwei meant that five hundred people would open the way in front and five hundred would guard the flanks, but he used his own two thousand guards to protect Tiansheng’s team in the center.
The team came to a fork in the road. Badshan pondered for a moment in front of the road, and then pointed to a road on the left. The leader of the guard who received the order glanced at that road, with a cold smile on the corner of his lips, and then turned his horse. go.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing Feng Zhiwei’s face. She was looking at the retreating figure of the guard leader, with a thoughtful look in her eyes – this leader had an indifferent and arrogant attitude when he was greeted before. The officials in Xiliang were also very polite to this guard leader, who was not of high rank. He must be a close aide of the regent.
The convoy walked for a while, and gradually reached the mountainous area. Xiliang, like southern Fujian, is mountainous, especially with many borders. The convoy planned to go around the mountains, but the road was rugged. Everyone abandoned their cars and rode horses. Feng Zhi narrowed his eyes and looked in front of him. Lu, chatting with Badshan La, “This mountain looks steep and steep. I wonder if there are villages in the mountains?”
Baideshan is a smart man. Hearing this, he immediately smiled and said: “This is Tengshan, the highest mountain in our western border of Xiliang. There are some hunters living in the mountains, but there are no villages. It is usually very peaceful.”
“Marquis Wei is asking if there are bandits in the mountains?” The guard leader on the side suddenly answered coldly, “Master Bai must have forgotten to tell you, there are some bandits, but those bandits…” He suddenly smiled sarcastically. , a pair of eyes that are more white than black, turned over to look at Feng Zhiwei coldly, “They are deserters from the battle between your country and our country. During the Battle of Huyepo, your country fled for dozens of miles, and there were countless deserters, many Since then, people have been living on the border of Xiliang, with no way to make a living, so they have taken up flags and become bandits, harassing our people in Xiliang every year – since the Marquis of Wei finally came here, shouldn’t he take back you lost dogs?”
When these vicious and provocative words came out, all the sounds around him were cut off instantly. It was so quiet that he could hear the falling leaves in the distance shatter into pieces. Bai Deshan was stunned for a while, and then he said sternly: “Commander Qiu! Be careful what you say!” His voice was so sharp that he couldn’t control it, even he was startled.
Commander Qiu looked up at the sky and sneered proudly, as if I just told you what you can do to me. When Bai Deshan saw his appearance, he rolled his eyes in anger, thinking to himself that he is really a 250-year-old with extremely good martial arts skills. Gao Keke couldn’t speak human language. Why did the regent send this man who had a crush on Tiansheng to protect him? Looking at the Tiansheng guards all around, they all had angry expressions on their faces. I couldn’t help but swallow with a guilty conscience – if this really angered the messenger, they started to fight, one thousand against two thousand, what were the chances of winning?
