Chapter 225 The Palace Game
Bian Beiliu looked at this young man. Qin Lang dared to go to the meeting alone. First of all, he had to have courage that ordinary people could not reach, and also had superhuman skills. Of course, the most important thing was that he held a card in his hand that he could negotiate with him - his son Bian Qianxun.
Qin Lang clasped his fists and said, "The guards of the Dayong mission led by Qin Lang to meet the prince."
Bian Beiliu was very calm: "Give him a seat!"
Someone arranged a wooden stool for Qin Lang. The stool was specially designed and very short, not much taller than a horse stool. Qin Lang sat on it and was obviously shorter than Bian Beiliu.
This is a common practice in diplomatic relations, which is to cause psychological humiliation through this method.
Qin Lang said: "The prince's most concerned thing now is the little prince's safety, he is very good."
The eyebrows on the left side of Bian Beiliu jumped for a moment. This son was really arrogant. If it weren't for his son's hands, today would be your death.
Qin Lang handed Song Baiqi a cloth bag. Song Baiqi took it and opened it. He found that it was full of hair. He came to Bian Beiliu and presented it to him. Although Bian Beiliu could not determine it, he could also guess that these hairs should come from his son, and his body and skin were his parents. Qin Lang cut off Bian Qianxun's hair, in order to send a signal to Bian Beiliu. The next step was to cut off his head.
Bianbei Run: "Give tea!"
Hundreds of Kitano samurai outside the inn had been rocketed and shouted in unison: "Listen, the prince summoned the special envoy Li Yifeng to meet him through the mansion and give you a stick of incense. If you disobey your orders, razed the inn to the ground!"
Li Yifeng heard it clearly in the inn and said in horror: "What should I do?"
At this time, his accompanying warrior came to report the situation outside, and Li Yifeng sighed and said, "Forget it, I'd better go to the royal palace to explain to him."
Chen Hutu said: "It's just a bluff, Lord Li doesn't need to panic."
Li Yifeng said: "I am not panicking. The court sent me to lead a delegation. I naturally have to be responsible. How can I hide here as a turtle? I will go out now and I will go alone. You don't have to be afraid or stop me." He said passionately, as if he wanted to die with righteousness.
Chen Hutu said, "If Lord Li insists on this, his subordinates have nothing to say."
Qin Lang took the teacup and bought it, but it was cold. He laughed in his heart that Beiliu had a lot of thoughts.
Bian Beiliu said, "If my son is safe, you will be safe. If it is him..." He wanted to say that he had lost a piece of hair, but when he saw the bag, he understood that his son's hair was probably covered with all his head had been shaved by these people. He changed his words: "If something happened to him, I will tear you and others into pieces, and I will only relieve my hatred."
Qin Lang smiled and said, "I don't know whose king Mr. Bian is?"
Bian Beiliu was stunned.
Qin Lang said: "Although you have not claimed to betray Da Yong so far, your behavior has been deceiving yourself. If you openly betray Da Yong and become king, you have to be responsible and courageous. But you only dare to claim to be independent and still use the throne given by the court. What a contradiction."
Bian Beiliu said, "I don't think it is at all contradictory. The throne of my king was given by the old emperor of Da Yong. Now the court is rampant, with traitors everywhere, the empress dowager controls the government and appoints treacherous ministers, making a good Da Yong dark and the people are living in poverty. I am independent to protect the safety of the people in the Kitano area. I continue to use the title of king because I am loyal to Da Yong and can be seen at the sun."
Qin Lang laughed loudly, Beiliu here is shameless.
At this time, someone outside reported: "The envoy of Da Yong Li Yifeng is here!"
Qin Lang sighed in his heart that Li Yifeng was finally here.
Li Yifeng entered Xiongfeng Hall alone. Seeing Qin Lang here, he was not surprised. So many things were done by this kid today, and Chen Hutu also participated, proving that they had never stopped calm since they came to Kitano and had done a lot of things behind their backs. They had to admit that they were also powerful enough to catch Bian Qianxun, otherwise Bian Beiliu would not have asked to meet them on his own initiative.
What made Li Yifeng depressed was that Bian Beiliu did not give him a seat. Qin Lang sat there, and he, the dignified envoy of the Great Yong and a first-rank official of the court, was standing.
Qin Lang was not surprised at all, because Bian Beiliu knew who could dominate his son's life.
Li Yifeng did not forget his responsibilities and submitted the empress dowager's handwritten letter. Today, he finally had a chance. The delivery of this letter was equivalent to the completion of his mission.
Bian Beiliu opened the letter and read it, with a disdainful sneer on the corner of his lips: "I have seen the sincerity of the court, okay, Lord Li, I can reply to you now. If you let the dog down, everything can be discussed."
Li Yifeng felt relieved. Bian Beiliu's words were equivalent to concessions, but he also understood that the decision-making power was not in his hands, and his eyes were on Qin Lang.
Qin Lang put the teacup in his hand on the ground. Because there was no tea table around him, he whispered: "The court took us over, it's not that we want to discuss it with you!" He no longer used the title of prince to Bian Beiliu.
Li Yifeng was secretly shocked. Could this kid really want to turn against Bian Beiliu? Is it just a cover for the imperial court to send him over here? Qin Lang is the real envoy, and he has other tasks.
Song Baiqi said: "Bold, dare you disrespect the prince."
Qin Lang shouted loudly: "He dares to be disrespectful to the court and dares to be disrespectful to Lord Li, why don't I dare to be disrespectful to him?" He stood up suddenly and glared at Bian Beiliu and said: "Holding troops to be independent is tantamount to betraying the court. Since you betray, you are a rebel minister. How can you still have the face to claim your throne? You are their king, but not my king. Kitano is the territory of Dayong, and the people here are all the people of Dayong. Have you ever asked them for their opinions when you betrayed Dayong? Has they been allowed by their permission?"
Bian Beiliu suppressed the anger in his heart. The people of Kitano were here. What did Dayong give them? He could not give food and clothing, nor could he give peace. Over the years, he protected the people. Despite this, Qin Lang still stood at a moral level. This was the reason why he was not eager to rebel. However, Qin Lang's words made him think that so-called independence was just a cover-up of the bell. In the eyes of the world, he was still a rebellious minister.
Bian Beiliu said: "The courage is commendable, Lord Li, is this what he said? Or the court?"
Li Yifeng was frightened and sweat began to appear on his forehead. He avoided answering Bian Beiliu's question: "Have the prince read the letter from the empress dowager?"
Bian Beiyue said: "What's the difference between looking or not looking? I know her conditions clearly."
Qin Lang said: "When Mr. Bian relied on his own, he kept saying that the court was unfair to you, claiming that Bian Qianxun was persecuted by the court, and his life and death are still unknown. Now this reason seems to no longer exist."
Bian Beiyue said: "I really don't know where he is."
Qin Lang said: "Then there are other things you don't know. Bian Qianxun faked the scene of the murder. He killed Xu Zhongqing and the head of the mansion with his own hands to create the illusion of adultery. Not only that, Xu Zhongqing was pregnant for two months when he died. I would like to ask which father in the world could be so cruel to his flesh and blood? If you can do it, Lord Li and I would not stand here at all."
Bian Beiyue said: "Of course, whatever you say is what you say."
Qin Lang said: "The Ministry of Justice has investigated all the cases clearly. Originally, Lord Xu should have been on the mission this time. The court decided again and again and again before sending Lord Li. The court wanted to give Bian a chance and did not want to make this matter worse. But how did you treat the court?"
Bian Beiliu sighed and said, "Who is right and who is wrong? Everyone has a scale in their hearts. You are not qualified to talk to me. Let Qianxun go. As long as he is safe and sound, I will guarantee that all your delegations will leave Kitano safely. As for what the court said, I, Bian Beiliu, here to agree that I will never be enemies of Da Yong in my lifetime."
Li Yifeng was secretly happy. If he could really do it, he could go back and hand in the work.
Qin Lang said: "When you are the King of Heaven, I can believe your promise, and now I don't believe a word."
Bian Beiliu said, "Young man, if you don't know how to advance or retreat, I have a way to treat you." His eyes fell on Li Yifeng, and Li Yifeng was chilling, Bian Beiliu said, "Come here, drag Li Yifeng down and behead me!"
Li Yifeng was so scared that he was so scared that they could kill him when they talked, and said in a trembling voice: "Prince, how can you... you can't do this? The two armies will not kill you when they fight, let alone..." Two vicious warriors who had already come up grabbed his arm, one left and one right.
Li Yifeng shouted: "Bian Beiliu, you traitor, you... dare you betray the court." Anyway, he was about to die, so he was willing to sacrifice his life.
Bian Beiliu said impatiently: "Drag out and make the conditions with me. Every half hour, I will kill one of your missions. I want to see when you can hold on."
Qin Lang smiled and said, "Just kill. Every time you kill someone, your so-called kindness will weaken a little. People in the world soon know that you betrayed the envoys of Dayong. It would be worth it if you exchanged for your son's life alone. Don't worry, I won't kill him now, I will only cut off his fingers and toes one by one, and then slowly scatter him. When you find him, maybe he is still alive, but you should no longer know him, but you don't have a piece of skin on your body, and a ball of rotten flesh with blood."
Bian Beiliu was like seeing each other in person. He lost again in this game with Qin Lang. Li Yifeng's death was not important to Qin Lang, but his son was too important to him.
Bian Beiyue said: "Come back!"
The two warriors who pressed Li Yifeng to the door stopped, and Song Baiqi quickly waved his hand and signaled them to leave.
Li Yifeng wiped away the cold sweat from his forehead. He was just a little regretful at this time. He shouldn't have come to the palace. In Bian Beiliu's eyes, he was just a condition for negotiating pressure and did not regard himself as a human being. It would be better to talk less next.
