Da Capital City! Moments before Gu Hai arrived outside Da Capital City!
Heokkang Of Silla, Mo Yike, Qin Zibai, and Chang Sheng sat in a hall, drinking tea.
"Your Highness? Are you really going to show your power to Ambassador Qian? "Qin Zibai frowned.
Heokkang Of Silla drank his tea and said in a low voice, "That's right. His Majesty is in seclusion, but we can't be weak. The Northern Expedition Army has suffered setbacks at the frontlines. We even lost twelve cities. We compromised with Da Qian, but we can't take this lying down. Do they really think that Daewon is a pushover? Moreover, we're in Da Capital this time. Are we going to lower our heads? "
"But …!" Qin Zibai smiled bitterly.
He was the one who led the Northern Expedition Army. If they suffered setbacks again and again, it would mean that he didn't lead the army well. However, Heokkang Of Silla was already giving him face by not mentioning his name. If he continued to refute, it would mean that he didn't want face.
"Your Highness, is this really okay? We …? "Chang Sheng frowned.
Heokkang Of Silla sneered. "Da Qian is the Celestial Empire, and we're the Imperial Empire. Although there's a huge difference in levels, His Majesty has the luck of a dynasty. Unless Daqiansheng comes personally, why would Daewon be afraid of Da Qian? So what if he leads the army personally? His Majesty challenged Daqiansheng and Tongtian not long ago. His Majesty has the power of a country. Would he be afraid of Daqiansheng? Would Daqiansheng dare to lead the army personally? You have to know that we're not the only Imperial Empire that's eyeing Da Qian! "
"Huh?" Chang Sheng frowned. He had a bad feeling about this.
"The battle between countries is about power and military power. If I support Da Qian, I'll be strengthening Daewon's power. What's wrong with that? "Heokkang Of Silla said in a low voice.
"Your Highness is so radical. Will Daewon, which has just calmed down, be dragged into the dispute again?" Chang Sheng frowned.
Heokkang Of Silla said confidently, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I'll take action from the side. Not only will I strengthen my Daewon's momentum, I'll also make Da Qian speechless."
"Attack from the side? Heh, Heokkang Of Silla is targeting Gu Hai, right? "Mo Yike took a sip of tea and narrowed his eyes.
"Mo Yike? Ha, you are even more quick-witted than your father. No wonder your father strongly recommended you to go to Yingzhou. Looks like it was also a great training! "Heokkang Of Silla looked at Mo Yike in surprise.
"Your Highness is too polite. Let's talk about the matter as it is. With Gu Hai accompanying Princess Wanyu, suppressing Gu Hai was equivalent to suppressing Envoy Qian. It would strengthen Daewon's momentum and make Da Qian speechless. Heh, the plan is good, but isn't Your Highness making too much of a commotion? "Mo Yike said calmly.
"Too much? I want all the citizens in the city to observe the grand ceremony of the envoy's welcome. The important matters of the country are in the court and in the field. With such a grand occasion, the citizens would be happy to see it. Why not? "Heokkang Of Silla smiled.
Mo Yike shook his head. "I'm just worried that Your Highness will have the opposite effect!"
"Hmm?" Heokkang Of Silla raised his eyebrows.
"Your Highness thinks that Gu Hai is a pushover that can be manipulated at will? Heh, how many people thought that way in the past? Lüyang Of Gojoseon, Lu An, Ao Shun, Chang Ming, Qin Zibai, Xi Yan. I won't give you any more examples. Your Highness should know what the result is. You think that Gu Hai is unsightly. If the result is the opposite of what you think, then you won't be strengthening Daewon's momentum. Instead, you'll be strengthening Gu Hai's momentum! "Mo Yike said calmly.
"Ha, hahaha, Official Mo, do you think that I'm inferior to a brat like him in terms of calligraphy?" Heokkang Of Silla laughed coldly and confidently.
Mo Yike shook his head. "This official doesn't dare to say that. How about this, since Your Highness has already made up your mind, it's useless for this official to persuade you. This official will not participate in Your Highness's plan. This official will keep my mouth shut and will only be a spectator! "
"This official will also keep my mouth shut and will only be a spectator!" Chang Sheng and Qin Zibai also said.
Xi Kang looked at the crowd and narrowed his eyes. He felt displeased. However, the three's attitude was very clear. They would cooperate with him but not participate. They had already given him enough face. Although his official rank was higher than theirs, the four families of the four families were all factions. However, the Four Great Clans had their own factions, and none of them were afraid of him.
This time, for the sake of strengthening Daewon's momentum, the three families wouldn't participate and wouldn't oppose him.
"Good, good, that's good! I've already set up the Profound Light Mirror. Let's wait for Envoy Gan to arrive! "Heokkang Of Silla said solemnly.
"Report!"
Suddenly, a guard rushed into the hall.
"Your Highness, we found two flying ships in the north of the city. They correspond to the reports from before. It should be Envoy Gan's team!" the guard said anxiously.
"They're here so soon? Why didn't they discover them earlier? How much longer until they arrive? "Heokkang Of Silla's expression changed.
"About two hours!" the guard said.
"Immediately inform the officials to head to Wuyue Academy immediately. Hurry!" Heokkang Of Silla said with a glare.
"Yes!"
In the capital:
Hum! Hum! Hum!
Suddenly, beams of light shot into the sky from all directions. Slowly, they were projected on the white clouds in the various districts in the city.
It was as if a thousand light screens were formed, projecting the same image in the sky. Almost all the citizens in the city could see it clearly.
In the image, there was a mountain peak surrounded by clouds. At this moment, a large number of Daewon's officials were standing.
"The Profound Light Mirror is activated. Is Heokkang Of Silla telling the truth? Is the process of welcoming the Da Qian envoy really open to the public? "
"Look, look, that's Heokkang Of Silla. He's bringing the officials to Wuyue Academy!"
"The image in the Profound Light Mirror is too clear. There's even sound?"
"Look, the Da Qian envoy is here. Only two flying ships? Isn't that too shabby? "
… …
… … …
… … …
In all directions of the city, countless citizens were in an uproar. They looked up at the huge light screen in the sky. In the light screen, it was the image of Wuyue Academy.
This kind of scene where the entire city was celebrating in the Profound Light Mirror was hard to come by in a hundred years!
Many citizens had put down everything and were watching curiously.
At the window of a restaurant, a woman in red was sitting. It was Fairy Wan 'er.
Looking at the image in the sky, Fairy Wan 'er's eyes were fixed on Gu Hai.
"Why are you here?" Lin Wan 'er showed a hint of hesitation.
In a small courtyard in the city. There were still two figures sitting there. Takeshi Ryūshin and Sima Changkong.
There were guards stationed around. The two of them were holding wine glasses and looking at the image in the sky.
"Oh, Heokkang Of Silla? He wants to make things difficult for Princess Wanyu, right? "Takeshi Ryūshin narrowed his eyes.
"Princess Wanyu is in the light, and we are in the dark. I hope we can find the Imperial College Chancellor!" Sima Changkong said with a smile.
"Heokkang Of Silla's target is already focused on Wanyu and Gu Hai. Oh, I only hope that Gu Hai won't be humiliated too badly!" The Dragon God said in a deep voice.
Sima Changkong frowned and did not answer.
In the image.
Gu Hai arrived, and the two sides began to officially meet.
After Heokkang Of Silla and Princess Wanyu met, the hairy head pointed to Gu Hai.
"That's Gu Hai?"
"The villain in 'To the Army of the Han' was written about him?"
"He looks like Zhou Zheng? No, under this Zhou Zheng's appearance, there must be a treacherous villain's heart! "
"Hahahaha, look, that's Li Shenji of the Shenji Battalion? He actually took the initiative to mention 'To the Army of the Han'. He also can't stand Gu Hai's despicable actions? "
"Heokkang Of Silla wants Gu Hai to evaluate? Let's see what Gu Hai has to say? "
"Clumsy? Bah! That's Heokkang Of Silla being modest. His writing style is awe-inspiring. Do you really think it's clumsy? "
"He wants to have a grand welcoming banquet? Hmph, this kind of villain shouldn't be entertained. "
"His Highness is going to hold a banquet. Eh? Why is there no movement? "
"Li Gang?"
"What do you mean it can't be held? Didn't he prepare for a few days? "
… … …
… … …
… …
The scene in the image made countless people in the city extremely worried, especially the literary cultivators of the Wuyue Academy who worshipped them. Their expressions were ugly.
Wouldn't it be embarrassing for Heokkang Of Silla to not hold a banquet at this time?
On the screen.
"It's true! The two of them are transformed from the good-for-nothing demon. Your Highness, there's really nothing left! "Li Gang wanted to cry but had no tears.
Heokkang Of Silla looked at Li Gang coldly. "Why didn't you say anything about such a big thing?"
"You, you told me not to report it! Let them eat. Give me as much as you have! "Li Gang wanted to cry but had no tears.
Heokkang Of Silla: "…!"
The entire court: "…!"
At such a critical juncture, at such an important event, at such a banquet, you dropped the ball?
Wouldn't this put Daewon's ministers in an awkward position?
Nearly two hundred million people in the city were still staring at them. How could they say that there was no food at the banquet? Wasn't this an international joke?
Mo Yike and Chang Ming looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They retreated behind the people and ignored this matter.
Heokkang Of Silla's face was dark, and he wanted to kill Li Gang. Who would have thought that the situation he set up would be ruined at such a critical juncture? It had just started, and he was already embarrassed?
Gu Hai's expression was slightly cold. Was this against the Da Qian envoy? No, this was not good for them, and their expressions did not seem to be fake.
"Forget it, since Daewon is so stingy with the banquet, why don't I, Da Qian, treat everyone!" Gu Hai said.
Heokkang Of Silla's face stiffened, and he glared fiercely at Li Gang, who wanted to cry but had no tears.
Now that the whole city was watching, it would take at least half an hour for the Wuyue Academy to buy from the city, how could they make it in time? Since Gu Hai had spoken, he could only nod.
"Someone come, cooperate with Mr. Li Gang to set up the banquet!" Gu Hai shouted.
"Yes!" There was a response from behind.
"Kill some of the monsters from the Wuyue Academy!" Heokkang Of Silla ordered.
"Your Highness, those are the auspicious beasts of my academy, not ingredients!" Li Gang shouted.
"Huh?" Heokkang Of Silla stared.
Did he really let Gu Hai set up the banquet? So what if they were auspicious beasts? At this time, if you drop the ball again, I will kill you.
"Yes, yes, someone come, catch the ox monster and goat monster, kill them and set up the banquet!" Li Gang immediately shouted.
The banquet could finally be held as usual.
Long Wanyu pursed her lips, "So stingy, treating us to a meal, and you still want to contribute!"
Heokkang Of Silla's face suddenly turned green, red, and white. However, it was broadcasted to the whole city, and two hundred million people were watching, so it was not good to get angry, and he could only pretend not to hear.
Heokkang Of Silla pretended not to hear, but the people in the city heard it clearly.
Hearing Long Wanyu's soft complaint, countless people's faces changed. They were obviously very ashamed. Heokkang Of Silla did not do it openly.
