Chapter 307 The Unlucky Chen State Delegation
That night, Huitong Hall was surrounded by thousands of officers and soldiers.
The members of the Chen State delegation who were preparing to flee secretly thought that something was not right.
They pretended to be calm on the surface, but after secretly meeting, they complained and discussed like crazy:
"We are still fighting for two cities. The slave army of Xia is about to take our fourth city. We are doomed. We must be used as a decoy by Xia to confuse Chen."
"It's not the fourth city, it's the fifth city. How despicable is Xia! They are so good at hiding it. What can we do?"
"Yeah! What should I do? I'm dying."
…
Every member of the delegation looked at the chief officer, Envoy Zhou, with a look of despair on their faces.
Because they knew very well that Xia's siege now meant that they were of little use and would most likely die. What was even more terrifying was that even if they managed to escape back to Chen, death might still be waiting for them.
Envoy Zhou clenched his fists and said nothing.
The other members of the delegation were disappointed and dissatisfied, so they had to look at the second-in-command of the delegation, Envoy Li.
Envoy Li kept drinking water. After a while, he suddenly said, "We are doomed to fail if we are imprisoned in Daxia. If we return to Chen State, we will probably fail as well. There is only one solution. Let's surrender!"
Chen Guozhongren:!!!
Someone couldn't help but say, "Master Li, what are you talking about! We are an envoy representing the Chen Kingdom to negotiate with the Xia Kingdom. We represent the image of the Chen Kingdom. How can we surrender and defect?"
Envoy Li also gave up and said, "Why not? Didn't Envoy Liu also fake his death and surrender?"
Chen Guozhong and his people were shocked again.
Someone exclaimed: "How is this possible?"
Envoy Li said, "How can it be impossible? These days I have been asking about the Imperial Academy and the Yuan Academy. I heard that there is a very powerful Master Liu, named Liu Mingxia, who has only come to the capital of Daxia in recent months. Although the two have different names and genders, I have bumped into them by accident. The two look very similar and appeared at about the same time. How can it be such a coincidence? Envoy Liu must have disguised himself as a woman in order to stay in Daxia."
The people in Chen Guo looked at each other, some could hardly hide their anger, but some also showed a desire to survive.
At this time, someone suddenly said, "Master Li, which official has checked this? Master Liu is a real woman, there is no possibility that she is a man dressed as a woman."
Envoy Li choked and fell silent.
But among them, the two people who knew Envoy Xiaoliu's true gender had their pupils trembled, looked at each other, and had other plans in mind.
At this time, Envoy Zhou sighed and said, "How about we pretend we don't know and go back to rest first?"
Members of the Chen State delegation: !!!
What a stupid idea!
Why are you going back to rest? Are you waiting to die?
The members of the delegation were filled with sorrow at the incompetent performance of these two men, and became angrier and angrier as they watched.
Suddenly, someone pounded the table and said, "If I had known this would happen, I should have stood firmly on Envoy Liu's side!"
Crowd: !!!
Envoy Li said sarcastically: "Stand on Envoy Liu's side? If he dies, you will die with him?!"
The man also retorted in a sinister tone: "No! I support Envoy Liu in the delegation. With her here for a few years, the Chen Kingdom delegation wouldn't have said such a big mess. It's a good job that is rewarded for meritorious service! Otherwise, you two wouldn't be jealous and parachute in here, wanting to seize power."
"you!"
"presumptuous!"
Envoy Zhou and Envoy Li both slammed their desks and stood up.
But the man thought he was going to die, so he completely exploded and shouted, "What a shame! I was too unrestrained and too cowardly before, letting you kill Envoy Liu. Well, now I am going to die too. I will fight you cowards."
Before he could finish his words, the man took off his shoes and smashed them into Envoy Zhou's face.
His action was like a spark falling into a frying pan, and all the members of the delegation exploded.
For a while, there was a boot war in the closet.
…
Among them, only the two who knew Envoy Xiaoliu's true gender had not completely given up hope.
They secretly opened the door, trying to sneak out and force Envoy Liu to help. Unexpectedly, as soon as they walked out of the corridor, they saw twenty Jinyiwei standing with knives.
The two were startled and stepped back quickly, but they heard the clear sound of a sword being ejected from its sheath. They turned their heads in astonishment and saw Qi Kuan wiping his mouth with a handkerchief.
Behind Qi Kuan stood two rows of thirty Jinyiwei soldiers, looking at him eagerly.
The two looked ahead, then looked behind, and slid down to their knees: "Sir, sir, we are Liu Mingxia's relatives, we surrender..."
Qi Kuan: "Daxia does not accept traitors." He waved his right hand lightly at his neck.
The Jinyiwei in the rear immediately rushed forward and captured the two men.
Someone said stubbornly: "It's not fair, then can Envoy Liu...?"
Qi Kuan added seriously, "The main thing is not to collect waste." Then he glanced at the two people whose mouths were suddenly covered and said coldly, "Oh, by the way, don't kill them first."
The two men's eyes suddenly showed surprise.
Qi Kuan glanced at the Chen State envoys who were eavesdropping in the compartment and said, "Leave them to parade together tomorrow as a warning to the public. Let the Chen State give Da Xia an explanation."
After saying this, he waved his hand.
The Jinyi Guards rushed into the compartment, captured the desperate members of the Chen State delegation one by one, arrested them, and escorted them all to the Ministry of Justice prison.
It's also a coincidence.
When these members of the delegation were driven by the Jinyiwei on the night road to the Ministry of Justice Prison, they happened to meet the students of Taixue and Yuanxue who were returning from evening classes.
When the two teams met in parallel, the members of the Chen State delegation looked at the students numbly and jealously.
The students looked at these people with curiosity and surprise, whispering to each other:
"These people are still wearing court robes?"
"I'm mistaken. This isn't the government of Daxia. It seems to be the country of Chen. Could it be the Chen country's envoy?"
"They were actually arrested. I don't know what evil they committed in Daxia. They deserved it!"
…
At this moment, someone from the Chen State delegation suddenly shouted loudly: "Nephew Liu, Nephew Liu, save me!" But before he could finish his words, a Jinyiwei guard next to him forcibly covered his mouth.
This sentence, nephew Liu, also made Envoy Zhou and Envoy Li, who were allergic to genius, raise their heads at the same time.
They looked in the direction of the torchlight and saw a woman surrounded by students from the Xia Kingdom not far away.
The woman was wearing a green skirt and had no jewelry on her body. Even her black hair was tied up with a wooden pin. But her mere appearance was like a bright moon emitting a gentle but not to be ignored light, which naturally attracted everyone's attention.
The woman turned her head back calmly and looked over here.
Envoy Zhou and Envoy Li were startled, and they had an intuition that this woman was the former Envoy Liu.
They wanted to shout questions.
I even want to roar and rant about everything!
But they dare not.
Because they knew very well what it meant that Envoy Liu could stand among the students of the Great Xia Official School as a woman with an innocent identity.
Envoys Zhou and Li could only grit their teeth and look at Envoy Liu with jealousy, while shedding tears of envy and hatred.
At this time, Qi Kuan noticed that Master Liu was standing still, and he seemed to be thinking about something.
After a moment, the Grand Maester came over and whispered, "Why don't you leave?"
Qi Kuan said, "Wait a minute. We can make use of the waste here."
Bachelor:?
Qi Kuan did not explain. He bowed to Envoy Liu first, then waved his hand and asked his adjutant to cover the mouths of Envoy Zhou and Envoy Li, and then took them out and beat them up severely. Soon, the two men's heads swelled twice as big.
The great scholar was puzzled at first, until he saw Master Liu turn around and heard the conversation between Master Liu and his disciples:
——"Master, you are laughing."
--"……Um."
——"Master, the two people who were beaten are just very strange. They actually cried when they saw us."
——"Go endorse it. Don't waste your energy on villains."
The great scholar suddenly realized that Qi Kuan was trying to make Master Liu return to his faith.
