"My lord, the front is Xun Guo."
A horse squad stopped in front of a checkpoint, and a soldier on horseback pointed in the direction of the checkpoint and said to a 30-year-old Yue State official.
Yue Chen issued the imperial decree and asked in the court who would like to go to Xunguo, and asked Xunguo about the rescue of the North.
Representing Yue Chen as an envoy, this is a matter of great face.
Similarly, it is full of danger.
After all, the other party was Xun State, who had sent troops to war with Yue State and was defeated by Yue State.
If they want to take the opportunity to retaliate, the messenger will be the first to vent their anger.
So in the court, many people withdrew and dared not say anything.
Only a part of the young hawks asked for the invitation.
Cao Yuqing was valued by Yue Chen because of his outstanding performance when Li Youguang rebelled, and he was unyielding to the death. He had this opportunity to go on mission.
Cao Yuqing used to be a small official of the Yue State. Because he ran into Ma Zongjin by chance, he followed Ma Zongjin's army to the Yue State.
Then, because of his diligence and conscientious work, he was promoted by Xun Yu and had the opportunity to stand in the hall.
With a solemn expression on his face, Cao Yuqing shouted to everyone around him: "Brothers, I will say it one last time. I am waiting for your majesty to go on behalf of your majesty, and you must not fall into the prestige of your majesty, the prestige of Yue country.
If you are afraid of death, leave now, and the officer will intercede with your majesty for you.
Otherwise, if it damages the face of my Yue country, the family will be ransacked, and the family will be blamed. "
The people around him tightened their faces, and they were all in awe.
Someone shouted: "Don't worry, Cao, since I will follow you on the mission, I have put life and death aside, putting the glory of the country and the majesty of your majesty first. If you are afraid of death, I dare not go with Cao. coming."
Cao Yuqing nodded in satisfaction, then adjusted his clothes and the official hat. After everything was clear, he shouted: "Go, submit the credentials."
The gate of the checkpoint was opened, and Cao Yuqing and his party entered the checkpoint, and then the team sent by the checkpoint was sent to the imperial capital of Xunguo.
Five days later, Cao Yuqing entered the imperial capital.
Then, was sent to the post.
For three consecutive days, not only did the king of Xunguo fail to summon him, but even the officials of Xunguo did not take care of them, as if everyone had forgotten Cao Yuqing and others.
Inside the station, Cao Yuqing sat on a chair, his face solemn, and he couldn't see the joy, anger, sorrow or joy.
The entourage who followed Cao Yuqing was already furious, and kept telling Xunguo's rudeness.
Cao Yuqing knew that Xunguo did this deliberately, which also cast a psychological shadow on Cao Yuqing's mission.
His heart is naturally extremely angry, but for the majesty of the country, he can't be anxious and corrupt.
He comes from Yue country, which is a big country.
Have the demeanor of a big country.
Finally, in the morning of the fourth day, officials from Xunguo reported: Your Majesty summoned.
The group followed the officials into the palace and went straight into the main hall.
The palace hall is magnificent and solemn.
The mighty hundred officials on both sides stood in a row, watching Cao Yuqing, invisible pressure flooded him like a tide.
Cao Yuqing took a long breath and warned himself secretly that he represents your majesty and must not lose his face.
Depressing the tension in his heart, Cao Yuqing strode into the hall, looking ahead, stepping on the ground very forcefully with every step.
When he came to the middle, Cao Yuqing shouted: "I am the envoy of His Majesty Yue State and represent my king. How does Xun State treat my king?
Humph, did you forget the battle of Xishuangcheng? "
A word made the civil and military man full of furious.
The battle of Xishuangcheng, Xunguo was defeated, this was a great shame for Xunguo.
Cao Yuqing mentioned the old things again, which is tantamount to hitting Xunguo's face.
A military commander wearing gold armor and a beard pointed at Cao Yuqing and shouted: "Where are you guys, the hairs haven't grown up yet, believe it or not, I will take your head off now."
"Ha ha!"
Cao Yuqing squinted at the military commander coldly, and said with a sneer, "The general is really good. With this domineering, he can come to Xishuangcheng to show his glory."
"you!"
The military commander drew out the sword from his waist with a "heap" and said viciously, "I think you are looking for death."
Cao Yuqing was still not afraid, took a step towards the general, staring at him with cold eyes, and sneered, "I am representing my king, killing me?
I don’t know if the entire Xun State is enough to be buried.
But one thing is clear to me, that is, your Nine Clan, General, will definitely be buried. "
The Jinjia general held the sword tightly in his right hand, and his right hand trembled angrily.
Cao Yuqing sneered with disdain, stretched out his finger and shook in front of the general, and said lightly: "You, no!"
This action is extremely provocative.
However, the military commander really didn't dare to do anything to Cao Yuqing.
Regardless of whether the king had spoken or not, Yue Guo's terrifying strength made him afraid to act recklessly.
Cao Yuqing represents King Yue, who dares to kill him.
Cao Yuqing did not continue to pay attention to this military commander. As the king’s spokesperson, in his eyes, the majesty of Xun Guo was the righteous master.
Cao Yuqing raised his head and looked directly into the eyes of King Xunguo. He saw that the other party was a young man, a little depressed and depressed.
When he saw Cao Yuqing's eyes, the king's eyes flashed with a complicated expression, which made Cao Yuqing very surprised.
Although this expression quickly disappeared, these details were all remembered by Cao Yuqing.
"Your Majesty Xunguo, my Majesty Yue asked his ministers to ask you why your Majesty sent someone to give you food and grass to the North Country, but you dragged it and only sent a cart of food to the North Country. This is your Majesty’s will. , Is it the wind in your ears?
Your Majesty is very angry now and needs you to give him a reasonable explanation. "
Cao Yuqing's voice was loud, reaching everyone in the hall.
On the side, Gong Xuelin sneered and said, "Why do I need to explain to Yue Guo when I work in Xunguo?
Why do you need to follow the imperial decree of your Yue Kingdom?
Envoy of State Yue, don't you think your request is too excessive? "
"Otherwise..." Cao Yuqing said sternly, "I Yue State is a level 5 empire, and my Majesty Yue State has the world in mind. He took the initiative to enter the North Kingdom and conquer the lost territory. This is really a great contribution to the human race.
Second, my majesty led an army into the barbarian hinterland, fighting countless barbarians. There was originally an army led by withered wood, which was attacking your country.
It was our Majesty who took the initiative to annihilate the Withered Bark troops, save your country from being overwhelmed by creatures, and save you from danger.
Now that the North is in a difficult situation, your Majesty wants you to send food, it is a act of righteousness and righteousness.
You should be called to follow the will of my majesty.
Now you wait for behavior, regardless of righteousness, regardless of the kindness of my majesty.
Your Majesty has sent ministers to inquire about you.
Your Majesty said... If Ruoer and others are obsessed, there is no need for this Xun Kingdom to exist. "
