Iron Armored Emperor

The day of the alliance.

Yuliang City is a small town on the southwestern border of Qinzhou. Before the war, it made pottery as its business. Now all men are conscripted to fight, and nine out of ten households are empty, leaving only some old and weak women and children.

It was occupied by the Feng Clan in the front, and it was occupied by the Chu Army in the back. It is logical that it is still the territory of Bei Yan, and the land of the general alliance will be in Yuliang. The Feng Clan obviously does not take Bei Yan seriously.

Ao Ge and Lu Yishuai pressed heavily on the border, and sent Gu Lie and his party outside the territory occupied by the Chu army.

Going to Huimeng this time, Gu Lie took Jiang Yang, Di Qiye, and one or two civil servants, guarded by the Guards, and Di Qiye's wolves rode outside Yuliang City for the finale.

The strength of the Feng Clan and the Chu army is very different, this arrangement is to give the Feng Clan a lot of face, and it has already taken extra care that the Feng Clan leader's behavior is different from ordinary people, otherwise Gu Lie would not even have to bring Di Qiye and Langqi.

The alliance was arranged in front of the city gate of Yuliang City. Ever since the Feng Clan built a high platform at the gate, the people of Yuliang were terrified.

The Feng clan invites each other mainly, and the king of Chu is invited as a guest.

The leader of the Feng Clan has long been waiting on the high platform. The high platform is made of wood and stone, but the original materials cannot be seen at all, because it is covered with silk and satin, and there are various decorations of porcelain and jade on the platform. From a distance, it is full of jewels, dazzling and rich.

Even the stone steps up to the high platform were paved with precious felt blankets, all the way to the place where the king of Chu was arranged to dismount.

King Gu Lie of Chu came with his generals on horseback. Gu Lie was wearing a big cloak and leather armor and a jade crown on his head, without being overly dignified.Di Qiye and Jiang Yang were both in armor, with awe-inspiring aura.

All the officials of the Feng clan kept the etiquette, bowed slightly, bowed their hands in salute, and greeted the king of Chu.Gu Lie swept his eyes and saw the rumored aide, Mu Lian, who was grimacing.

Jiang Yang and other generals dismounted, then knelt down on one knee to welcome Gu Lie to dismount.

The monarchs and ministers of the Chu army stepped on the felt blanket, and suddenly there was a ghostly howling sound from behind the Feng clan officials, accompanied by the sharp drum and flute, which was hard to hear.

Gu Lie stopped and listened carefully, it was about the fact that the Crying Wind Clan was expelled from Shu Province.

Gu Lie continued to walk forward, his steps were still steady, and his expression did not even move his eyebrows; Jiang Yang was still gentle and refined, and refused to give up his feather fan; Di Qiye was as usual, wantonly hooking the corners of his lips , It is no different from walking in the camp of the Chu army.

They were unmoved, and the faces of the Feng Clan officials showed a bit of anger.

Walking in front of the high platform, a Feng Clan ritual officer signaled Yu to wait, and Gu Lie and his generals walked up the stone steps.

The officials of the Wind Clan followed behind them.

Stepping on the high platform, the pile of riches and honor is even more shocking.

The high platform is surrounded by silk screens, and there is a row of screens with everyone's pen and ink, and then there are antique racks of different shapes, half of which are filled with rare treasures such as porcelain, jade, wood carvings, and gold statues, and the other half are displayed with precious weapons and armor.

Taichung is divided into left and right sides, each with several sapphire tables, all of which are full of delicacies and exotic fruits, silver pots and gold cups, presumably old wines.Kneeling on the ground beside the table were the maids who were dressed in thin clothes and were not even covered. They were all Yan Chao's dresses.

The leader of the Wind Clan, Wu Kun, has already taken his seat on the left. He is dressed loosely like every young man of the Wind Clan. He is wearing the Wind Clan king fur made of white wolf fur. He is about the same age as Gu Lie, but his hair is half white. , with regular facial features, but with an indescribably sinister and evil look on his face.

In his arms was a woman dressed as a noble lady from the Yan Dynasty. The woman was trembling slightly, but she forced a smile on her face. Wu Kun's hand stretched out into her dress without hesitation.

Wealth, combat power, women.Wu Kun wanted to show off the strength of the Wind Clan to Gu Lie.

It was too greasy, and Di Qizhi felt sick for a while.

Wu Kun didn't intend to get up to greet him.

Gu Lie didn't say much, and took his seat at the chief jade table on the right, with Jiang Yang on the left and Di Qiye on the right.

The monarchs and ministers of both sides sat down, and a voice came from the corner: "In the winter of the year of Chen, my king built a high platform, and made an alliance with the king of Chu. Before the meeting, we mourned and worshiped the ancestors of the Feng clan."

Di Qiye followed the sound and saw a grizzled historian writing on bamboo slips while reading.

"King Chu." Wu Kun called out rather arrogantly, and nodded slightly, which was regarded as a salute.

Gu Lie also nodded slightly: "The leader of the Wind Clan."

Wu Kun's face darkened, and he was furious: "I call you king, but you don't call me king back? Is this Chu Gu's etiquette?"

Jiang Yang laughed and said: "The leader of the Feng Clan's words are wrong. The matter of becoming king is no small matter. The Feng Clan has never had a king, and I, Da Chu, have never received your gift letter to become king. I don't know when you will sacrifice it." God, when did you become king?"

"I am the Lord of the Wind Clan, so naturally I am the King of the Wind Clan." Wu Kun took it for granted.

It was inconvenient for Jiang Yang to say this, but Gu Lie looked at the opposite side, and said kindly: "Mad King."

The gloomy historian immediately read: "At the meeting, the king of Chu honored me as the king of wind."

Wu Kun smiled complacently, the woman in her arms suddenly felt pain on her face, she clenched her teeth and dared not make a sound, she peeled the fruit for Wu Kun with shaking hands.Wu Kun boldly announced: "Today, I, the King of Feng, meet you, the King of Chu, and the Kings of Chu. It's time to celebrate with a feast. Come, play music, and pour wine!"

So the banquet was held, and the maids kneeling beside the jade table poured wine for the guests one after another, and another group of beauties from the Feng clan came up to the stage to present singing and dancing.

Wu Kun was enjoying the singing and dancing freely, Gu Lie didn't let the maid come closer, occasionally moved his chopsticks, and watched the singing and dancing, with a deadpan expression on his face, showing no preference.

Seeing that Jiang Yang and Gu Lie were both eating and drinking, Di Qiye didn't have any scruples, and didn't ask the maid to serve the dishes. He tasted all the dishes on the table and was not surprised, so he started eating fruits.

I don't know how the Wind Clan preserves them, but they can still find such fruits in winter, Di Qiye took a grape while thinking, and his arm was held down.

It was the maid at Gu Lie's case.

He looked at her puzzled, and the woman tremblingly said, "The King of Chu said, 'Tell him not to eat grapes'."

Di Qiye looked at Gu Lie, but Gu Lie watched the singing and dancing.

He raised his eyebrows, put down the grapes, and took a sip of the wine.

Strange, maybe it's not good to eat grapes in winter?Di Qiye decided to go back and ask.

Only then did Di Qiye pay attention to the gaze that had been staring at him since he came on stage. The man on Wu Kun's right who covered his face with a white ghost mask gave Di Qiye a very ominous look in his eyes. premonition.

Wouldn't it be so coincidental?

Mu Lian's face behind the mask at the moment showed a very distorted expression, which was mixed with half sadness and half joy, which made his face hurt, and he had to take out the medicine bottle from his arms to take the medicine.Wu Kun glanced over in his busy schedule, saw him taking medicine, felt disgusted immediately, and then fixed his eyes on the woman in his arms.

Mu Lian is sad, because I am ashamed of Kun; Mu Lian is happy, because he saw his junior brother.

The little junior brother who is so big has grown up, but his expression has not changed much. Unlike his strange face, the junior junior brother is very handsome, and he has successfully followed the king of Chu, Gu Lie. At this age and the general's attire, it turns out that the younger brother is Di Qiye, the legendary Great Chu soldier god.

That's great, Mu Lian thought enviously, the junior brother must be able to die and be praised by everyone.Eh, it's just so useless.

Mu Lian was so envious, he kept staring at Di Qiye unknowingly, and when Di Qiye finally looked back, he was overjoyed and tried to tell him with his eyes: "Little brother, it's me, your second brother!"The one who took you into the valley to learn as a teacher!

Then Di Qiye glared at him.

The joyful expression on Mu Lian's face has not faded, but his whole body becomes depressed.Sure enough, with the mask on, the junior brother couldn't recognize him.

Or, the junior brother was too young at the time, and didn't remember himself at all?

Eh.

But the master has taught that the teacher's door is the most important, we must practice the teacher's teaching and listen to the teacher's words.All the people in the world are ignorant and walk in the dark room, only their masters can see the truth, which is higher than the people in the world.

Therefore, all people in the world are outsiders, and only those in the teacher's school are insiders.

The junior brother also came from the school, and the master and brother took care of him, so he should also take care of the younger brother, even if the younger brother didn't remember him.Even if each is their own master now, if the younger brother has already arranged to die, he will definitely help the younger brother, so that the younger brother's death will be praised by everyone.

Mu Lian's analysis was clear, he was satisfied, and cheered up again, staring at the Qingyu case in a daze.Wu Kun didn't allow him to take off his mask in front of people, he didn't have to eat, and the younger brother didn't like him watching, so he could only be in a daze.

After singing and dancing, take down the delicacies and fruits, and then the alliance begins.

When Wu Kun opened his mouth, he wanted Chu King's influence in Beiyan, and he wanted the Liu family to transfer to the Feng Clan.As a condition, the Feng Clan and the Chu Army became allies and would not invade each other.

This is not only the lion's big mouth, but also his prestige. The implication is that the Feng clan already knows that the Liu family is the Chu king's power, and they are well aware of the Chu king's deployment in Beiyan.

The Feng Clan should have found out about the marriage turmoil between the Liu family and Zhongzhou Gu.

Jiang Yang first pretended to be stupid, and then sternly refused.Wu Kun stopped talking to him, and asked Gu Lie angrily: "The king of Chu is not good at talking?!"

Gu Lie raised his eyes, and said slowly: "The Liu family defected to Da Chu, and I, Da Chu, have the responsibility to protect it. If I change hands to the Feng Clan, it will be a dishonest one. How can I, Da Chu, have the face to face the poor clan who come to join us again? "

But Wu Kun said with a smile: "Today's alliance, Feng Chu became an ally, a country of brothers, how do we divide?"

This person had a hippie smile on his face, and then jumped into a rage, and turned like the wind.

Gu Lie secretly thought in his heart, maybe it is true madness or not fake madness.False madness may be worth exploring, but true madness is nothing to fear.

"A country of brothers?" Gu Lie smiled softly, with a very light sarcasm in his words, "If the Mad King agrees to Da Chu with one condition, it's not that he can't communicate with each other."

Wu Kun laughed loudly: "You say."

Gu Lie looked directly at Wu Kun for the first time since he climbed onto the high platform, his gaze was as sharp as a knife out of its sheath: "You bow your head to the king!"

All of a sudden, the sounds of swords and soldiers unsheathed by the officials of the Feng Clan could be heard endlessly. Wu Kun threw the woman in his arms to the ground, and with a saber in his hand, he slashed at the sapphire case, sparks popped out, and cursed: "Gu Linsheng killed our ancestors of the Feng Clan, and now he His good grandson humiliated the Wind Clan in the same way! Chu Gu is crazy and bloody, so don’t communicate with him!”

Gu Lie lightly pressed his hands, and the generals who had stood up to draw their knives immediately went back to the case and put their knives back into their sheaths, with the same sound.

Di Qiye was the only one holding his Qinglong Saber, and didn't draw it at all, but his own sharpness cannot be ignored, so the blades of the Fengzu servants were either pointing at Gu Lie or pointing at him, even though he didn't even have a saber pull.

Gu Lie glanced at Di Qiye appreciatively, the high platform was full of expensive weapons, the blood-drenched weapons in the hands of the ministers, and the golden knives and silver guns on the bogu racks, but all these expensive and fierce weapons, including the Azure Dragon Saber It is a priceless treasure, its sharpness is no match for Di Qiye.

The sharp blade of the country is an unparalleled general.

Gu Lie withdrew his gaze, poured a glass of wine by himself, and said calmly: "There is no way to bully Yan. As a subject of the Yan Dynasty, my grandfather had to respect the king's order. If you want to blame, blame the Yan Dynasty's former emperor for being violent. As for Chu As soon as Gu Fengxue said, he did not expect that the mad king would highly respect the pen and ink of the first emperor of the Yan Dynasty, if he had known this, this king should bring the words written by Yang Ping himself as a generous gift to the mad king."

Wu Kun was furious when he heard that, and hacked the Qingyu case two or three times, furious: "You are talking nonsense! Chu Gu is the chief culprit of my Feng clan's disaster!"

As he cursed angrily, all the officials of the Feng Clan were in a siege, with swords in their hands, pointing directly at the king and ministers of Chu.

This made Mu Lian look at him with admiration.

The so-called strong ones are afraid of being violent, and those who are violent are afraid of dying. Wu Kun was originally a lunatic, and his chance of winning against Gu Lie was less than [-]%, but it was hard to say when he was crazy. Even if he was desperate, King Chu nodded in agreement. Ugly, embarrassing scene, so what?Even if the king of Chu broke the contract after leaving Yuliang, he would also bear a reputation of treachery. For Wu Kun, who had a low chance of winning, it was a profit.

The most important thing about this plan is that Gu Lie has no heirs yet.

Even if Gu Lie spared his life, he had to think about what Da Chu would do if he had no successors.Once he dies, the Great Chu will become a mess, and the strong general will have no master, so of course he will become king on his own.

Sure enough, Jiang Yang approached and carefully persuaded Gu Lie in a low voice. Gu Lie frowned, and reluctantly said: "Send someone tomorrow to deliver the messenger and secret letter to the Liu family to the Feng Clan."

Finally, the king of Chu was embarrassed, and Wu Kun laughed wildly, then clapped his hands again, and sent a woman tied up with a rope.

"I heard that there is no one in the harem of King Chu, and the heirs are difficult." Wu Kun said grandly, "This is the royal daughter of the Yan Dynasty. I captured it in Yongzhou and sealed it. Since Feng Chu has become a brother, I will send it to the King of Chu. Solve the urgent need."

The woman was tied up with ropes, but her face was full of arrogance and indignation, her eyes swept over the woman who was held in Wu Kun's arms again, showing [-] points of disdain.

The woman in Wu Kun's arms lowered her eyes and almost shed tears.

"If you want to give it away, it's better to give it a pair," Gu Lie said indifferently.

Wu Kun was even more proud, and laughed loudly: "You heard it, it's not that I want to give the king of Chu the broken shoes, but the king of Chu wants to be brother-in-law with me. It's just a thing, why not give it to the king of Chu, but this woman is from the Yan family If the king of Chu accepts the daughter-in-law of his grandson, he will have an enmity with the Yan family, I wonder if the king of Chu would dare to take it?"

Gu Lie didn't look at him, and said to Jiang Yang, "Take the second daughter with you."

Then he nodded and spoke softly to Wu Kun.

"Farewell."

Wu Kun snorted heavily, feeling that Gu Lie was putting on airs.

The Chu army's monarchs got off the high platform, mounted their horses one after another, and headed towards the suburbs of Yuliang City.

Everyone on the road remained awe-inspiring, and Di Qiye couldn't help asking Jiang Yang, "Why didn't we bring a historian?"

Jiang Yang explained: "Assembly, the princes meet to form an alliance. The leader of the Feng Clan has neither claimed the title of king nor canonized the princes. Although he is playing the banner of the alliance, it is actually inconsistent with the etiquette. We don't need to remember."

Di Qiye understood that Wu Kun's flaunting of this scene was to flirt with the blind.

On the Yuliang high platform, an old official smiled and congratulated Wu Kun: "Congratulations to me, Wang, for his successful plan. Now, Gu Lie has broken his promise to the Liu family and offended the Liu family's Yan family and the Wang family. His deployment in the Yan Dynasty must have been ruined! "

Wu Kun's face was ferocious, and he laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, it's more than that, after the alliance is formally signed, Chu Gu relaxes, I want to let Gu Lie know what blood feud is!"

The old minister was horrified: "You, you want to tear up the covenant?"

Since ancient times, once the alliance was established, it would be risking the displeasure of the world if it was torn up again!

Wu Kun didn't answer at all, and laughed loudly to himself, as if everything was under control.

Mu Lian stared blankly at the empty opposite, thought to himself, it's over, he went crazy after finally making a good move... Could it be that he was going to die in the chaos?

I'm having such a hard time.

Gu Lie and his party joined Ao Ge Lu Yi and returned to the camp of the Chu army in a mighty manner.

After entering the handsome tent, Jiang Yang was immediately cheerful, and Gu Lie was also relaxed. Di Qiye had already guessed, and at this moment he was sure that Wu Kun was deceived by these two foxes.

Gu Lie asked people to bring in the two women they had brought back.

Both women were untied and stood in the tent.

The one who was held in Wu Kun's arms earlier, that is, the "granddaughter-in-law of the Yan family" as Wu Kun said, is now wrapped in a commoner cloth given by a kind soldier to cover the messy clothes, and there is a deep scar on her face. Palm prints.

Gu Lie frowned. He never allowed his subordinates to bully the weak, so he asked, "What's going on?"

Another woman said contemptuously: "She is not a woman."

It seems that this "royal woman" did it.

The generals did not want to meddle in the women's affairs of the enemy, only Di Qiye looked at the woman of the Wang family in surprise: "Wu Kun said that she is the daughter-in-law of the Yan family's grandson, and her husband must have died on the battlefield of Yongzhou. The Feng Clan snatched her away, it's so miserable, you actually beat her and said such sarcastic words?"

"She can die. If I were her, I would have been killed by a headshot. Who is to blame for her willingness to be low?" The woman of the Wang family looked proud.

Di Qiye was deeply disgusted: "You didn't experience the atrocities she suffered, so you think you are superior to her?"

The woman of the Wang family blushed with anger, and raised her head high: "I am nobler than her. No matter what you guys want to do to me, I will definitely show you to death."

Gu Lie got a headache when he heard it, and every one of them wanted to die when they realized that they were too young to live.

"Take them down separately," Gu Lie summoned the guards, "let them think for a night, if they want to go back to their hometown, they can be sent to the border of Leizhou in Zhongzhou; if they want to go far away, they can be sent to Qingzhou; to die."

"It's all over, let's talk about it tomorrow."

All the generals and ministers bowed and left, most of them were puzzled, they didn't know what the lord did for bringing these two daughters back, to gain a reputation for nothing.Jiang Yang praised the lord for his kindness, but Lu Yi had no idea, and Ao Ge felt that the lord's work was boring.

Yan Fagu rarely lowered his eyebrows and lowered his head in thought, Gu Lie suddenly called out: "Fagu."

He raised his head and said solemnly as Gu Lie promised: "I will only keep one of the four famous clans, and that one will not be surnamed Wang."

Yan Fagu's heart relaxed, he smiled, bowed deeply, and left the handsome tent.

Only Di Qiye stayed in the handsome tent.

"Looking at what?" Gu Lie looked up at him.

"It's nothing," Di Qiye thought for a while, then smiled, "That's fine."

baffling.

Gu Lie asked about the business: "Have you noticed that ghost-faced staff?"

"No," Di Qiye lied without changing his face.

That is noticed.

"He's been watching you."

"is it?"

Outside the tent, a guard reported: "My lord, General Di, someone is outside the camp, please see General Di."

Di Qiye was taken aback.

There are many people who want to see Di Qiye every day, and they are usually those who want to join the Chu army and want to be Di Qiye's staff.

"Why report?" Gu Lie had a guess in his heart, glanced at Di Qiye, and asked with a faint smile that was watching the show.

Jin Wei replied, "He said he was General Di's second senior brother."

Second brother?

Di Qiye first raised his eyebrows, then rolled his eyes.

I'm really afraid of what's coming.
