The prince is very fierce

Pah——

Before Xu Buling finished speaking, all the officials present stood up, and the special envoys from the capital also glared at him.

Jiang Niu's face darkened slightly: "Are you asking me to cede land to seek peace?"

Xu Buling spread out his left hand: "The south of Jingyuan is already in the hands of my father, you can't take it down, let alone take back Wangnan Pass. You and I have withdrawn half of our troops to fight in Yuanzhou, and the daily loss is no different from bleeding. If Prince Zuo thinks that he can wear down Dayue, he can continue to fight. I just want to bring a message. It's up to you whether you agree or not."

After the voice fell, there was a slight silence in the hall.

In fact, Chen Xuan and other counselors can also see the current situation. Prince Su broke through Wangnan Pass, and 80,000 Western Liang troops and more than 100,000 Dayue Western troops were piled up in Yuanzhou. The Northern Qi side was also constantly sending troops to reinforce from other places. It would be impossible to break Yuanzhou without a few years, and it would be even more difficult to take back Wangnan Pass. Both sides were in a situation where it was difficult to make any progress.

When the war breaks out, the daily consumption of food, soldiers, military pay, etc. is astronomical, and it depends on who can't afford it first. After years of recuperation, Northern Qi finally accumulated some wealth. It is obviously at a disadvantage to fight a war of attrition with the vast Central Plains. It is estimated that in the end, either the war will expand and they will burn their boats directly, or they will cease fire with the actual control of the territory as the boundary.

Northern Qi lacks confidence, and Dayue is cleaning up its internal affairs. It is not appropriate to start a full-scale war at this time. Jingyuan has changed hands, and the two sides are still fighting just for a breath.

Jiang Ni was silent for a moment, and his voice was flat: "I will consider this matter myself. Do you have anything else to say?"

Xu Buling chuckled: "There is also a private matter. I heard that Prince Zuo has a 'Ice Flower Hibiscus Pendant'. I owe a favor to someone. I came to get it. I hope Prince Zuo can give it to me."

"..."

Everyone in the hall frowned slightly, and Chang Shijian, who was watching outside the hall, had a gloomy face.

Jiang Ni chuckled when he heard this, raised his hand and took off a crystal jade pendant from his waist, held it in his palm and looked at it:

"The jade pendant is an item passed down from my ancestors. There have been some messy rumors in recent years. Many people want this jade pendant. You came to my house alone to get the jade pendant. Even if I give it to you, how can you take it away?"

Around the hall, more than a dozen guests, Qi Guohai, and He Jian all took a breath and were ready to go.

Xu Buling glanced around, holding the long spear, and slowly untied the rope wrapped in black cloth:

"Prince Zuo and my father have been in opposition in the northwest for decades. Even if they are enemies, my Xu family will not fail to give them the face they deserve. Today is Prince Zuo's birthday banquet. I came to congratulate you and have a polite chat with you. I don't want to see blood on this happy day..."

The black cloth fell apart, revealing a snow-white long spear with a dragon pattern that spread to the sky. The spear tip was two feet long and as bright as a silver blade.

Xu Buling held the spear in one hand, with the spear tip pointing diagonally to the ground, and looked up at Jiang Nu:

"... But if the prince doesn't know how to show respect, don't blame my Xu family for being rude."

"Puff——"

The guests present all sneered, as if they were looking at a fool.

Qi Guohai and He Jian stared at the dragon-patterned long spear, their eyes unable to hide their amazement.

Jiang Niu looked at the long spear in Xu Buling's hand and sat up a little straighter:

"Shui Long Yin... Sixty years ago, Xu Lie broke into the capital of our Great Qi and took this national treasure from the hands of our Great Qi monarch. Even this king has only heard of it. I thought it would be hard to see it again in this life... You kid, this gift is quite heavy!"

Xu Buling narrowed his eyes slightly:

"Give it or not?"

Jiang Niu raised his hand, with the jade pendant hanging on his fingertips:

"If you have the guts, come and get it."

Bang——

At this moment, the brightly lit hall was suddenly blew by a crosswind, the snow-white bricks on the ground exploded, and half of the candles were extinguished in an instant.

Many guests saw that the man in white who was still standing quietly in the center of the hall just now disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only the cracked floor tiles on the ground.

At the same time, Qi Guohai and He Jian rose from the ground, drew out the swords and the imperial golden swords at their waists, and attacked Xu Buling who was already in mid-air.

Crack, crack, crack——

The sound of swords being drawn came one after another, and the sound of rebukes suddenly exploded in the hall.

"Ah——"

Xu Buling held a long spear in both hands, and drew a crescent moon in the air. In a flash of silver light, he had swept over Qi Guohai who rushed up first.

Qi Guohai's swordsmanship ranked among the top three in Northern Qi, and the sword in his hand was also a rare famous weapon in the world. He came to Xu Buling like a hawk, and wanted to display his lifelong learning, but after a flash of silver light in front of him, he found that the white-clothed figure had bypassed him and attacked He Jian behind him.

Seeing Xu Buling's back, Qi Guohai's mind flashed a trace of joy of catching a flaw, and he immediately raised his hand and stabbed Xu Buling's back with a sword.

However, this sword that was stabbed out instinctively after practicing martial arts for a lifetime, the action was there, but the tip of the sword in his hand was not seen.

Qi Guohai's eyes showed some doubts, and only then did he realize that the hall was spinning and upside down.

In the field of vision, half a person fell from the sky, wearing a gorgeous robe, but his right shoulder to left waist was cut open, the upper body was gone, and the sword was still in his right hand. The muscles instinctively made a forward thrust, and blood just gushed out.

This half person seemed to be me...

Qi Guohai's last thought in his life was this incomprehensible doubt and shock.

How could someone be so fast that he didn't even have palpitations, how could he die like this...

Ye Zi was right, this was indeed not a human, this was a monster...

Swish--

The cloud patterned long spear was tumbling rapidly in the hall like a swimming dragon, and the extremely sharp spear tip cut off the weapon and the body without making any sound, just like a silver light passing through the body.

He Jian was a step slower and had already noticed this eye-rolling scene. He quickly turned the scimitar in his hand into a defensive position and blocked it in front of him.

Unfortunately, there was no sense of force in his hand. What He Jian saw was the ghostly man in white, who stepped heavily on the pillars in the hall, turned around in the air and rushed towards the palace guests who were rushing towards him with swords.

Looking down, a straight blood line appeared on his chest, and his body began to dislocate from the blood line...

"Ah——"

Plop——

Bang——

The faces of many guests turned from mocking to shock in an instant, and screams and surprises sounded at the same time as the sound of four bodies falling.

Zuo Yezi suddenly froze in his seat, his right hand raised, but he had not yet grasped the sword he carried with him. His eyes almost bulged out of his eye sockets, staring at the white shadow that was difficult to catch up with.

The Asura purgatory-like scene in the hall actually gave Zuo Yezi a sense of déjà vu - vaguely remembering that when he was a child, he was chopping in the grass with a bamboo sword, just like this, swinging it casually, the grass leaves were split in two, and they were cut off neatly, exactly the same as the scene in front of him.

But he was cutting grass, these were living people!

"Ah!"

"Ah——"

Crackling——

The hall was like being swept by a strong wind, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the tables were torn into pieces, but the wind that swept was not clear.

The attendant sword outside the hall was originally holding the sword at his waist, but at this time he hurriedly let go, fearing that he would be affected.

The wild Taoist Wu You was full of despair, as desperate as an ant standing under the sky. Ants can see the blue sky and white day, but how can a mere ant be seen by the sky!

"Kill——"

"Ah——"

...
