Deep in the palace, in a magnificent hall.
Under the brilliant light, the main hall looked extremely empty. At this time, dozens of figures in the center of the main hall knelt on the ground, their heads deeply lowered, and their faces showed a respectful color.
On the supreme throne, a young figure sat on it, wearing a purple and gold dragon crown with clear edges and corners. However, there was a bit of sadness on the handsome face, and a few white hairs on the temples looked very dazzling.
This young figure is today's Tianyu emperor, Duan Bing.
"Tell the emperor that the envoys of the Three Kingdoms will arrive tomorrow. I don't know how to receive them?" A minister raised his head and hugged boxing.
Duan Bing frowned slightly like a sword edge, and the color of sadness in his eyes became more intense. He sighed: "the spirit of heaven, Luoshui and cold wind sent envoys from the three countries. This time, it's a bad comer."
Hearing Duan Bing's sigh, the ministers were terrified, but they didn't know what to say. These three countries ranked top among the 18 countries, especially Tianling and Luoshui, which ranked first and second respectively. They have rich heritage and are not comparable to Tianyu.
If it had been in the past, the three countries simply despised Tianyu and never faced up to Tianyu, let alone sent envoys to visit. The gap is like a difference between clouds and mud.
However, in recent years, the rising trend of Tianyu is like breaking bamboo. It not only disobeys the will of Xuantian palace, but also gives birth to many strong people, which shocked the eyes of countless people. The so-called wood shows in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. Many people have coveted Tianyu.
Now the three countries suddenly sent envoys to visit, which must be a plot, and the envoys of the three countries came together, as if they had agreed, which highlights their unusual purpose.
I saw a minister standing up below, hugging Duan Bing and saying, "emperor, I don't think I need to be afraid of those people. My Tianyu national strength is increasing day by day. I'm afraid they don't dare to do anything."
"Yes, today's Tianyu is not the Tianyu of the past. How can we let them bully us at will? We should treat them with a strong attitude and see what they do!" Another minister echoed.
Duan Bing waved his hand, and a touch of bitterness appeared in the corners of his mouth. He said, "I don't think I'm the same as you. Although Tianyu has developed rapidly, the growth time is still too short. The inside information is much worse than that of the three countries. Moreover, the three countries have sent envoys at the same time. I'm afraid there have been plans for a long time. If it is too strong, I'm afraid it will lead to disaster."
"This..." the ministers were speechless and looked at each other. They subconsciously ignored this problem. Compared with the three countries, Tianyu's strength is far from enough.
"Although we can't be too strong, we shouldn't let them fool around." A voice suddenly sounded. A minister walked to the center of the hall. He looked like a crown of jade and had a dignified appearance. His eyes stared at Duan Bing with a wise look in his eyes.
Duan Bing saw the man walking out and heard what he had just said. A look of joy flashed in his eyes and hurriedly said, "Oh, Ouyang Aiqing, what's your opinion? Let's hear it."
Other ministers also looked at the minister surnamed Ouyang with a look of curiosity, as if they were very interested in what he said next.
This person's surname is Ouyang and his name is Qingtian. He is not old, but he has a lot of insight. He sees things and knows little about them. He often speaks amazing words. In the past, Duan Bing encountered problems. Most of the time, Ouyang Qingtian put forward opinions, which were finally adopted by Duan Bing with remarkable results.
However, it seems that heaven envies talents, and everything seems destined to be good. Ouyang Qingtian was born poor, born with broken pulse and can't practice. So far, he is just an ordinary person. If he didn't accidentally meet Duan Bing and be appreciated by him, he may spend his life in mediocrity until he dies.
Duan Bing deeply regretted Ouyang Qingtian's inability to cultivate. He also sought many pharmacists to diagnose him, but no one could cure his hidden diseases. Therefore, the matter was settled.
To the shock of many people, Ouyang Qingtian himself seems not to care about this matter. Whenever he mentions this matter, he laughs it off. He even laughs that everything has a definite number. As long as the opportunity comes, people just smile when he is comforting himself and never say anything more.
Ouyang Qingtian saw a flash of light in his eyes and slowly said, "I think the reason why the three countries sent envoys first rather than directly sending troops is to test Tianyu's attitude."
"What do you mean?" Duan Bing's eyes flickered and thought of something faintly.
Ouyang Qingtian's mouth is slightly upturned, evoking a slanting radian. His white to extreme skin shows a strange beauty. He said: "the Three Kingdoms rely on their rich heritage and have always looked down on my Tianyu. The envoys coming this time must have an arrogant attitude. If we are too respectful, they will have the intention of conquering Tianyu. Therefore, we need to be strong."
"But if it angered the envoys of the three countries and triggered a war, what should we do?" Someone immediately asked.
However, Ouyang Qingtian looked as indifferent as before. It seemed that he had expected this. He said without delay: "strength has a strong method, and the surface is respectful. We just need to inadvertently show the strength of Tianyu. In this way, the envoys of the three countries will not lose face, but also know our attitude."
As soon as this remark came out, all the ministers showed a sudden color on their faces. They couldn't help but praise it in their hearts. They were worthy of Ouyang Qingtian. If they didn't say anything, they would be surprised!
However, Duan Bing's tightly locked eyebrows still didn't stretch out. He said to Ouyang Qingtian, "that's all, but how to implement it? Can you think of a way?"
Ouyang Qingtian's eyes coagulated slightly when he heard the speech, and he was silent for a moment. He said, "tell your majesty, if there is someone here, maybe you can solve the dilemma."
"Who is that man?" Duan Bing looks frozen. Tianyu has such characters. Why has he never heard of them?
"The prince of the Qin family, Qin Xuan." Ouyang Qingtian looked solemn and spit out a voice in his mouth.
With these words, the faces of all the ministers in the hall changed. Qin Xuan has left Tianyu for a long time. Now he doesn't know where he is and how he can return to Tianyu to break the siege, which is impossible.
"Lord Ouyang, is there no other way?" A minister asked.
"I'm afraid no one else can do it except him." Ouyang Qingtian responded faintly, keeping 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. They only heard one of them coldly say, "since that's the case, what's the use of Lord Ouyang talking about it?"
Ouyang Qingtian smiled, but did not reply to the man's words. Instead, he looked at Duan Bing and hugged his fist: "please the emperor and ask young Xia Qin to come back to help."
Duan Bing was surprised when he heard the speech. His eyes suddenly turned and looked at Ouyang Qingtian. It seemed that he wanted to see what he thought in his eyes. However, Ouyang Qingtian's eyes were as calm as water. They were so calm that people couldn't see through.
"What does Ouyang Aiqing mean?" Duan Bing asked Ouyang Qingtian tentatively. Ouyang Qingtian nodded gently, which seemed to confirm Duan Bing's guess.
Seeing Ouyang Qingtian nodding, Duan Bing's heart trembled and his shock to Ouyang Qingtian reached an unprecedented level. Ouyang Qingtian had never seen Qin Xuan, but he already knew that Qin Xuan returned to Tianyu. Such peeping ability can be called terrible.
"The emperor doesn't 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 flashed a deep meaning in his eyes and said again.
"Lord Ouyang, Qin Xuan has left Tianyu country for several years. How can he appear in the Palace tomorrow? Aren't you talking nonsense?" Some people retort that although they admire Ouyang Qingtian's ability, they should not joke at this critical time.
"Yes, Lord Ouyang, you made a mistake this time. Qin Xuan can't come back. You'd better think of other countermeasures."
"I didn't expect that Lord Ouyang also made mistakes. It's really rare!"
Hearing the skeptical words of the ministers, Ouyang Qingtian's eyes were still calm and could not see the slightest waves. He just said faintly, "if I open my mouth, tomorrow will be known, and I said tomorrow at the latest. Maybe he has come, but we don't know."
"It's ridiculous." When someone sneered, he seemed very unhappy with Ouyang Qingtian's self-confidence, as if everything was under his control.
"I didn't expect Tianyu to have a hero like you. Qin really admires it." A refreshing voice suddenly sounded in the hall.
I saw a strong wave in the space somewhere in the hall, the bright light of the space was shining, and a slender figure slowly emerged, revealing a handsome and unparalleled face.
"Qin Xuan!" Duan Bing's eyes suddenly brightened, and his fists were clenched together, showing his inner excitement at the moment. Sure enough, it was Qin Xuan. He came back!
The ministers looked at Qin Xuan. When they saw that the figure appeared was Qin Xuan, their hearts seemed to stop beating, and their faces solidified there. They were shocked and speechless.
Ouyang Qingtian's words just now still linger in his ears. Those words, like an invisible palm, hit them hard in the face. At the moment, they just feel angry in their face They also called Ouyang Qingtian absurd. Now it seems that they are too ignorant.
Compared with other people, Qin Dingxuan was shocked, but he was very surprised by Qin Dingxuan's temperament.
However, in an instant, he returned and looked at Qin Xuan with a smile. They looked at each other silently like old friends they had not seen for many years. Across the void, everything was silent.
