Chapter 368 Ouyang Qingtian
Deep in the palace, in a glorious hall.
Under the brilliant lights, the hall looked extremely empty. At this time, dozens of figures in the center of the hall were kneeling on the ground, their heads bowed deeply, and their faces were full of respect.
And on the supreme throne, a young figure sat on it, wearing a purple gold dragon crown, with sharp edges and corners, but there was a hint of sadness on his handsome face, and the few strands of white hair on his temples looked extremely dazzling.
This young figure is clearly the current Tianyu Emperor, Duan Bing.
"Your Majesty, the envoys from the Three Kingdoms will arrive tomorrow. I don't know how to receive them?" A minister raised his head and clasped his fists.
Duan Bing's sword-like brows frowned slightly, and the sorrow in his eyes became more intense. He sighed: "Tianling, Luoshui, and Hanfeng sent envoys. This time, the messengers are not good."
Hearing Duan Bing's sigh, the ministers felt sincere and fearful, but they didn't know what to say. These three countries were ranked first among the eighteen countries, especially Tianling and Luoshui, which occupied the first and second place respectively, and they had a strong foundation. , not comparable to Tianyu Kingdom.
In the past, the Three Kingdoms would have simply dismissed Tianyu and never looked at him, let alone sent envoys to visit him. The difference between them was like the difference between clouds and mud.
However, in recent years, Tianyu's rise has been like a broken bamboo. Not only did it defy the will of Xuantian Palace, but also gave birth to many strong men, which shocked the eyes of countless people. As the saying goes, if a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it. Many people have already expressed their opinions. Tian Yu felt coveted.
Now that the three countries suddenly sent envoys to visit, they must have some agenda, and the envoys from the three countries came together, as if they had agreed, which further highlighted their unusual purpose.
I saw a minister below standing up, clasping his fists at Duan Bing and saying, "Your Majesty the Emperor, I don't think there is any need to be afraid of those people. Our Tianyu national power is increasing day by day, so I'm afraid they won't dare to do anything."
"That's right, Tianyu today is no longer the Tianyu of the past. How can we still allow them to bully us at will? We should treat them with a strong attitude and see what they do!" Another minister agreed.
Duan Bing waved his hand, with a trace of bitterness appearing in the corner of his mouth, and said: "I have the same idea as you. Although Tianyu has developed rapidly, the growth time is still too short, and the background is much worse than that of the Three Kingdoms. Moreover, the Three Kingdoms are at the same time. I am afraid that I have already planned to send envoys here, and if I am too forceful, I am afraid it will lead to disaster. "
"This..." The ministers were suddenly speechless and looked at each other. They subconsciously ignored this problem. Tianyu's current strength was indeed far inferior to that of the Three Kingdoms.
"Although you can't be too forceful, you shouldn't let them do whatever they want." A voice suddenly sounded, and a minister walked to the center of the hall. This man had a jade-like face and majestic weapons. He stared at Duan Bing. There was a look of wisdom in his eyes.
When Duan Bing saw this man walking out and heard what he just said, a look of joy flashed in his eyes, and he said hurriedly: "Oh, Ouyang Aiqing, if you have any great opinions, please tell me."
The other ministers also looked at the minister named Ouyang, their eyes full of curiosity, and they seemed to be extremely interested in what he said next.
This person's surname is Ouyang and his first name is Qingtian. He is not very old, but he is quite insightful. He sees things in detail and often says surprising things. In the past, when Duan Bing encountered difficulties, it was Ouyang Qingtian who put forward his opinions most of the time. In the end, he was Duan Bing adopted it and achieved remarkable results.
However, it seems that God is jealous of talents, and everything seems to be destined. Ouyang Qingtian was born into poverty, was born with broken veins, and was unable to practice. He is just an ordinary person until now. If he had not accidentally met Duan Bing and been appreciated by him, he would probably have lived in inactivity. This life, until death.
Duan Bing deeply regretted Ouyang Qingtian's inability to cultivate, and had sought out many pharmacists to diagnose him, but no one could cure his hidden illness, so the matter was settled.
What shocked many people was that Ouyang Qingtian himself didn't seem to care about this matter. Whenever he mentioned it, he laughed it off. He even said with a smile that everything was determined and he would just wait for the opportunity to come. Everyone just regarded him as self-comfort. He just smiled and never said anything more.
I saw a flash of light in Ouyang Qingtian's eyes, and he slowly said: "I believe that the reason why the Three Kingdoms sent envoys first instead of sending troops directly is to test Tianyu's attitude."
"What do you mean?" Duan Bing's eyes flickered, vaguely thinking of something.
The corners of Ouyang Qingtian's mouth were slightly raised, raising a slanting arc. His extremely white skin exuded a strange beauty, and he said: "The Three Kingdoms rely on their strong foundation and have always looked down on me, Tianyu. The envoys coming this time must have an attitude." Arrogance, if we are too respectful, they will inevitably want to conquer Tianyu, so we need to be strong."
"But if it angers the envoys of the three countries and triggers a war, what should we do?" someone immediately asked.
But Ouyang Qingtian looked as calm as before, as if he had expected this, and said unhurriedly: "There is a way to be strong, and be respectful on the surface. We only need to show Tianyu's power inadvertently. In this way, the envoys of the Three Kingdoms will neither As for losing face, you also know our attitude.”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of all the ministers showed a look of surprise, and they couldn't help but secretly praise in their hearts, it is indeed Ouyang Qingtian, his words are astonishing without saying anything!
However, Duan Bing's furrowed brows still did not relax, and he said to Ouyang Qingtian: "Having said that, how should it be implemented? Can you think of a way?"
Ouyang Qingtian's eyes slightly condensed when he heard this, and he was silent for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, if there is someone here, maybe he can get out of this predicament."
"Who is that person?" Duan Bing's expression condensed, why has he never heard of such a person in Tianyu?
"Qin Xuan, the prince of Qin Mansion." Ouyang Qingtian's expression became serious, and a voice came out of his mouth.
After this, the expressions of all the ministers in the hall changed. Qin Xuan had left Tianyu for a long time, and now he didn't know where he was. How could he return to Tianyu to get out of this predicament? This was impossible.
"Sir Ouyang, is there no other way?" A minister asked.
"Except for him, I'm afraid no one else can do it." Ouyang Qingtian responded lightly, and remained calm from beginning to end, as if nothing could affect his state of mind.
Seeing Ouyang Qingtian's indifferent attitude, many ministers were quite unhappy. One of them said coldly: "If that's the case, what's the point of Lord Ouyang saying it? Just don't say it!"
Ouyang Qingtian smiled, but did not reply to the man's words. Instead, he looked at Duan Bing and said with a fist: "Please ask the emperor to ask Qin Shaoxia to come back to help."
Duan Bing was shocked when he heard the words. His eyes suddenly turned and looked at Ouyang Qingtian, as if he wanted to see what he was thinking from his eyes. However, Ouyang Qingtian's eyes were calm and composed, and people could not see through them.
"What does Lord Ouyang mean?" Duan Bing asked Ouyang Qingtian tentatively, and Ouyang Qingtian nodded slightly, as if he confirmed Duan Bing's guess.
Seeing Ouyang Qingtian nod, Duan Bing's heart trembled, and the shock to Ouyang Qingtian reached an unprecedented level. Ouyang Qingtian had never seen Qin Xuan, but he already knew that Qin Xuan had returned to Tianyu. This kind of spying ability was terrible.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to send someone to invite him. I predict that he will come to the palace to see you tomorrow at the latest." Ouyang Qingtian's eyes flashed with a deep meaning, and he spoke again.
"Lord Ouyang, Qin Xuan has been away from Tianyu Kingdom for several years. How could he appear in the palace tomorrow? Aren't you talking nonsense?" Someone retorted. Although they admired Ouyang Qingtian's ability, they should not joke at such a critical moment.
"That's right, Lord Ouyang, you miscalculated this time. Qin Xuan can't come back. You should think of other countermeasures."
"I didn't expect Lord Ouyang to make mistakes. It's rare!"
Hearing the doubts of the ministers, Ouyang Qingtian's eyes were still calm, without any ripples. He just said lightly: "Whether I am talking nonsense, the result will be known tomorrow, and I said tomorrow at the latest. Maybe he has come, but we don't know."
"It's ridiculous." Someone sneered, as if he was very unhappy with Ouyang Qingtian's confident demeanor, as if everything was under his control.
"I didn't expect Tianyu to have such a great man like you. Qin really admires you." A refreshing voice suddenly sounded in the hall.
I saw a strong fluctuation in the space somewhere in the hall, and the bright space light shone. A slender figure slowly emerged, revealing a handsome face.
"Qin Xuan!" Duan Bing's eyes suddenly lit up, and his fists clenched together, showing his excitement at the moment. It was indeed Qin Xuan, he was back!
The ministers looked at Qin Xuan. When they saw that the figure that appeared was actually Qin Xuan, their hearts seemed to stop beating. Their expressions froze there, and they were so shocked that they couldn't speak.
Ouyang Qingtian's words just now were still lingering in their ears. Those words were like an invisible palm, hitting them hard in the face. At this moment, they only felt their faces burning. It was ridiculous that they still called Ouyang Qingtian absurd. Now it seems that they are too ignorant.
Compared with the shock of others, Ouyang Qingtian seemed very calm. He was just a little surprised to see Qin Xuan and was attracted by the temperament of Qin Xuan.
However, he recovered in an instant and looked at Qin Xuan with a smile. The two of them were like old friends who had not seen each other for many years. They looked at each other silently, separated by the void, and everything was unspoken.
