398 Chapter 398-one man against an entire country
“All of you, stand down.”
Just as the Qi state’s guards and generals were about to surround them with their swords and sabers, a majestic voice was heard.
Guan Zhong stepped forward from the crowd of Qi state. He looked at the angry guards and generals of Qi state and shouted, ” put away your weapons and step down!
Guan Zhong was the Prime Minister of Qi state and had great prestige among the Emperor and ministers of Qi state. Those angry generals and guards of Qi state did not dare to disobey him. They all glared at Xia ping ‘an, put away their weapons, and quickly retreated.
At this moment, Guan Zhong was really afraid that Cao mo, that boorish fellow, would do something.
On the other hand, everyone from the Lu country was dumbfounded. They were at a loss. Some were panicking, some were embarrassed. They did not know if they should advance or retreat, stand on Cao Mo’s side or reprimand Cao mo.
Xia ping ‘an glanced at Guan Zhong and secretly praised him in his heart. Guan Zhong was indeed reasonable and took the big picture into consideration. At this time, it was not a good idea to provoke a Desperado who had a dagger on the back of Duke Huan of Qi. If he was too agitated, Duke Heng of Qi would be stabbed.
Everyone looked at Xia ping ‘an.
To dare hold a dagger and hold the king of a country in public during the vassal meeting was something that had never happened before. This Cao mo was really audacious.
The Duke Huan of Qi had seen many big scenes. At this time, although his face was livid, he did not look too flustered. He was still very calm. He even turned his head and glanced at Xia Pingan, ” Cao mo, what do you want to do? ”
“Don’t you know what I want to do?” Xia ping ‘an looked around and his gaze swept across the faces of the Emperor and ministers of Lu. He said generously, ” Qi is strong while Lu is weak. Qi has sent troops to invade the territory of Lu several times and has occupied the cities of Lu. They have disturbed the peace of Lu and made Lord Zhuang unable to sleep well. Once this Alliance agreement is signed, I’m afraid that the city wall of Lu’s capital will fall on the border of Qi. It’s too much to bully the weak like this. It’s a breach of etiquette. Lord Heng, do you want to reconsider? ”
Duke Heng of Qi gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. After two seconds of silence, he said, ” should I consider it? ”
Xia ping ‘an grinned and pushed the dagger on Duke Heng’s back with a little force. The sharp edge of the dagger had already pierced Duke Heng’s clothes. then next, Duke Heng, you have to be prepared to be hit by my vitality and vitality!
What did that mean? The people around them looked at each other in dismay.
Realizing that no one was laughing, Xia Pingan secretly pouted. I’m so humorous, but no one around me can understand me. I’m so lonely ...
Duke Heng of Qi was also stunned. Was he prepared to be hit by this guy’s vital Qi and vitality? Her words sounded strange, but the feeling of being pressed against his back made Duke Heng of Qi understand that Cao mo probably wanted to kill him with her saber and make his blood splatter all over the place.
Before Duke Heng of Qi could say anything, Guan Zhong was a little anxious and kept winking at Duke Heng.
Duke Heng of Qi hesitated for two seconds. He looked at Xia ping ‘an’s fearless face and determined eyes. His throat moved, and he finally sighed, ” forget it. I will return all the land that Qi had previously invaded Lu, and I promise that I will never invade Lu again. Is that okay? ”
As soon as Duke Heng of Qi finished speaking, Xia Pingan threw away the dagger in his hand with a clang. Under the gaze of countless people, he walked down the platform and calmly returned to the ranks of the ministers of Lu.
On the other hand, countless guards and generals of the Qi state were staring at Xia ping ‘an. Each of them had their hands on the hilt of their swords, wishing they could rush over and chop Xia ping’ an into a pulp.
Duke Heng of Qi also glared at Xia ping ‘an and clenched his fists tightly. Ever since he became the Emperor of Qi state, he had never been so humiliated. He was actually forced to sign the treaty of alliance during the Alliance meeting by an ordinary man with a knife, and he was even asked to return the Lu state’s land that he had swallowed?
The atmosphere at the scene was as tense as a steel plate. As soon as Duke Heng of Qi gave the order, he would kill Xia ping ‘an on the spot.
The Emperor and ministers of Lu country were all trembling with fear.
this Alliance meeting is over. Everyone, please return! At the critical moment, it was still Guan Zhong who stood up and said in a deep voice.
Duke Heng of Qi stood up from the stone platform stiffly. Without a word, he turned around and left.
Seeing that Duke Heng of Qi had left, the officials and guards of Qi state also followed him out of the meeting place.
......
After the people of Qi state left, Lu zhuanggong walked down from the assembly platform as if he was stepping on floating clouds. He came to Xia Pingan and said with a complicated look, ” Minister Cao, what should we do? if Qi state retaliates with their troops, how can Lu State resist? ”
“Your Majesty, don’t worry. I’m sure that the Qi Kingdom won’t send out troops for revenge. Instead, they’ll keep their promise. If the Qi Kingdom really does send out troops, Your Majesty can cut off my head, cut out my heart and liver, grind my bones to dust, and send someone to give it to Duke Heng of Qi as a Kasaya.”
Hearing Xia Pingan’s words, the Emperor and ministers of Lu were speechless. No matter what, Xia Pingan had risked his life to fight for Lu’s dignity and land.
......
Cao mo, that b * stard! He’s gone too far! He’s gone too far! I’ve never suffered such a loss before! I’m going to send out my troops and destroy the Lu State! After that, I’ll tear that b * stard Cao mo into a thousand pieces and burn his bones into ashes! in the tent of Qi, Duke Heng of Qi returned. He could not swallow his anger and flew into a rage. He smashed everything in the tent and went mad.
Duke Heng of Qi was furious. He found that Guan Zhong was just standing in the tent without saying a word. He calmed down a little and said, ” I want to destroy the Lu State. What good plan do you have, father Zhong? ”
Your Majesty destroyed Lu Guoyi in a moment of joy. However, you will lose your trust in the world and be laughed at and looked down upon by the vassals. It will be difficult to salvage the situation. You can’t be the Overlord! Guan Zhong said calmly.
“Father Zhong, do you mean to let it go?”
Guan Zhong sighed and said with a little melancholy, ” I didn’t expect that the Lu State would have such a brave and decisive person like Cao mo, who dared to hold your Majesty hostage during the Alliance meeting. Previously, Cao mo led the soldiers of the Lu State to defeat the Qi state’s Army in three battles. I have underestimated him. The courage of an ordinary man can rival an entire country. With Cao mo, the Lu state’s fate is not over. This is the will of heaven. Going against the will of heaven is a disaster and not a blessing. It seems that the Lu State should not perish in the Qi state. Your Majesty, you should keep your promise. Return the land that you’ve occupied to Lu!”
the courage of an ordinary man, he can fight an entire country alone. Duke Heng of Qi was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he could only sigh and pinch his nose.
......
The realm Pearl’s world shattered.
......
In the secret room, Xia Pingan opened his eyes again.
It was a perfect fusion again. Looking at the time, only seven minutes had passed since the fusion of the realm Pearl.
The upper limit of his divine power in the secret mandala had now become 6218.
The number of assassins he could summon had also increased from Level 2 to Level 3.
The embossed of the assassin in the divine Hall expanded again. There was an additional image of Cao mo holding Duke Heng of Qi hostage on the sculpture. The assassin on the summoning position of the sculpture was shrouded in black mist, which made him even more unpredictable.
A level 3 assassin could already deal with the vast majority of mid to low-level Summoners, as most Summoners were below the three sun realm.
If he were to fuse with another Assassin’s realm Pearl, then a level 3 assassin would become a dragon Slayer assassin. Flame Xi was an outstanding assassin, and he specialized in being an assassin. He had only fused with four Assassin’s realm pearls, which allowed him to summon a Dragon Slayer assassin. Xia Pingan had a deep understanding of the power of a Dragon Slayer assassin. That day in Shangjing city, he had almost been killed by the Dragon Slayer assassin that flame Xi had summoned.
Advancing to the six sun realm required an upper limit of 6930 points of divine power, and he still needed 712 points of divine power to reach the six sun realm.
After calming down a little, Xia Pingan took out the second realm Pearl and continued to merge with it.
This was another realm Pearl of divine power. There were only four small flags on the realm Pearl. This realm Pearl was about how the Jin army, under the leadership of Du Yu, helped Emperor Wu of Jin to destroy the Wu State and unify the whole country. This realm Pearl was not difficult to integrate. One only needed to make a decision at the critical point and attack the Wu State resolutely.
This irresistible force was referring to the war in which the West Jin Kingdom destroyed the Wu Kingdom.
Xia Pingan took less than half an hour to merge with this realm Pearl.
He took out the third realm Pearl. There were only two small flags on the realm Pearl, ” Hu Zhang “. Behind Hu Zhang, there was a faint shadow of a fierce tiger.
...
This rare realm Pearl should be a black box realm Pearl. Very few people could fuse with it, and no one knew what spell technique they would get after fusing with it.
However, Xia ping ‘an knew that the so-called ” Tiger ” was actually one of the outfits that ancient Chinese doctors carried on their bodies. The origin of the word ” Tiger ” could be traced back to the Saint doctor, Sun Simiao. The doctors of later generations carried the ” Tiger ” on them and gradually became an object to show their identity as doctors.
Holding the realm Pearl in his hand, Xia Pingan pondered for a moment. After coming up with all kinds of plans in his mind, Xia Pingan dripped a drop of blood on the realm Pearl. After a while, his entire body was once again surrounded by a cocoon of light.
