Chapter 700: Give them a warning?
Speaking of this ancient general, his reputation in the Aquarius Kingdom is no less than that of the War King in the Da'an Kingdom.
This great general Gu came from a military family. He was famous, but his family, his elder brother, and his father were even more famous!
Father and son often go to the battlefield together. His father is still strong in his old age, and his brother is brave and resourceful. They are both powerful generals when they are alone, and they are even more powerful when they are together.
Liao Jiu nodded, "I've heard a lot about you!"
Before the Da'an Kingdom set out, everyone had analyzed together that the Aquarius Kingdom was most likely led by the Gu family father and son.
It is true.
Then, only Gu Qie was seen in the scene, and neither his father nor his brother were seen.
Liao Jiu's heart sank.
Gu Qie laughed heartily. "I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it. The two regents of your Da'an Kingdom are the ones I've long admired. Now that I've met them, they're really as promising and young as the rumors say! Come, come, let me introduce you to General Zhu Hanguo..."
Zhu Hanguo’s marshal’s surname was Liu. He was a middle-aged man with a hooked nose, sharp eyes, and a gloomy look. It was obvious at first glance that he was not easy to get along with.
The chief general of Wan Guang State was a young man, tall and handsome, dressed like a scholar. He said he was the marshal's counselor and came on behalf of his own marshal.
The states of Qi and He also introduced a general each, each with their own unique characteristics and a fierce look on their faces.
Liao Jiu and his wife nodded to each of them as a greeting, and then sat down.
Now is the negotiation stage, so we should do as the Romans do. If they don't turn hostile first and pretend to be hypocritical, Liao Jiu and the others will just keep up the good work.
Act according to circumstances.
Jiang Lianzhu had already observed the terrain, escape exits, everyone's weapons, specialties, and the martial arts level of their attendants clearly and took them all in.
Not only that, he also used his magical consciousness to take a clear look at the environment around the tent.
At this time, there were no heavy troops outside the commander's tent, only a few soldiers with swords guarding the entrances and exits.
Before entering the tent, they searched Liao Jiu and his men to prevent them from bringing weapons into the tent for negotiations.
However, in several auxiliary tents not far from the main commander's tent, there were tents full of fully armed soldiers, some holding bows, some holding shields, and some even holding nets, all waiting with full concentration.
This group of people really want them to never come back!
Jiang Lianzhu pretended not to notice.
Look calm.
But his consciousness was locked on those large nets. Were they prepared to catch their golden eagles?
Well, I'll blow it up first.
Here, Liao Jiu exchanged pleasantries with them, just like meeting old friends.
He is also a talented person. He tells lies with his eyes open. When people talk to him, he just follows the topic and talks freely. He is so calm that it doesn't seem like he is attending a life-and-death situation, but an ordinary tea party.
Relaxed and carefree.
The generals from various countries present couldn't help but look up to Liao Jiu. No matter what, the young regent of Da'an Kingdom had an excellent demeanor.
Carefree and confident, steady as an old dog.
Those who didn't know would have thought that he had brought ten thousand strong soldiers to protect them.
That's why he was able to penetrate deep into the enemy's territory without any panic.
After everyone took their seats, Gu Qie said loudly, "Come on, serve tea and properly entertain our distinguished guests from Da'an."
The servant brought up two cups of tea.
The tea is golden in color and smells fragrant. The tea leaves in the cup are as thin as cicada wings and spread out in large pieces, which looks very beautiful.
Gu Qie introduced in a loud voice, "This is our Aquarius country's most famous golden tea, tribute tea. Please try it, how does it taste?"
Jiang Lianzhu picked up the tea bowl and smelled it.
Without moving the mouth.
Liao Jiu looked at his wife. If his wife didn't drink, he wouldn't drink either.
Gu Qie stared at the two of them with a sharp gaze, "Why don't you drink it? Do you look down on our Aquarius Golden Tea? Or do you not want to give me, Gu Qie, this honor?"
Jiang Lianzhu gently stroked the tea bowl. "General Gu, you're too kind. This golden tea smells so fragrant. I've heard of its fame for a long time and have wanted to try it for a long time. I'm very curious how it's made. Are there any other ingredients added?"
The tone was gentle, but the suspicion was very obvious.
Gu Qie's strong tone suddenly softened, and he seemed a little guilty.
"How do I know how tea is made? Isn't tea made from freshly picked tea leaves? What else can be added? Could it be that the two regents of Da'an are afraid that I have poisoned the tea? Are they afraid to drink it?"
Jiang Lianzhu smiled slightly. "Since General Gu poured us tea, we should drink it. We can't refuse him this favor. Even if there are some ingredients in the tea, it's still drinkable. It just so happens that my husband and I have taken the recipe for the elixir that can make us immune to all poisons before. We can't waste such good tea."
After saying that, he took a sip of tea.
"Don't tell me, it's really fragrant. Even with the addition of ingredients, it doesn't affect the taste much. Husband, you can try it too."
Only after Liao Jiu got Jiang Lianzhu's permission did he pick up the tea bowl and take a big sip.
After tasting it carefully, he said, "It's really good. The golden tea with added ingredients seems to taste more mellow..."
The two of them drank the poisoned tea as if no one was around.
There was no sign of poisoning at all.
Everyone in the tent was stunned and filled with anger. Were these two people too arrogant?
Is there really anyone who is immune to all poisons?
Or did the two of them do it on purpose to intimidate them?
There are talented people in this world, but they are not many. Could it be that this young couple are the legendary talented people?
This is probably even more difficult to deal with.
No wonder they dared to go into the Tiger School alone under such circumstances and were still chatting and laughing like this. This really requires some unique skills!
Gu Qie's expression changed several times, and finally, he laughed out loud and clapped loudly.
"Okay, okay, what's the deal with that? We're all honest people and don't mince words. However, this general still respects you two for your courage."
Liao Jiu maintained a nonchalant expression. "You are too kind. Generals, you are so polite to others. Our Da'an Nation should learn from you. Things will change over time. Next time, if you are lucky enough to come to our Da'an Nation for negotiations, we should follow your example!"
Ever since the two drank the golden tea, everyone has been paying close attention to their every move.
The two of them were breathing steadily and there was really nothing wrong.
He even threatened them, and they felt a little uneasy.
If that day really comes, can they survive it?
Impossible!
How could that be?
This time they came well prepared and were determined to take advantage of the absence of the King of War of Da'an Kingdom and the incompetence of the young emperor to divide up Da'an Kingdom in one fell swoop.
This couple might just be trying to be mysterious!
Let them try to show off first!
The poisoned tea with added ingredients cannot kill them immediately, and they may take effect later. They are just holding on now.
Gu Qie coughed and said, "Let's not talk about tea anymore. Let's talk about business. We have more tea than grain in Baoping these days. The common people can't even get enough to drink tea. You, the people in Da'an, are all distributing grain. We have been neighbors for many years. Can you lend us some grain?"
