Chapter 261: Alliance Oath

Li Qi and the passer-by stood in the crowd of onlookers outside, watching the ceremony inside to welcome the envoys.

Obviously, this welcome ceremony was also hosted by Honglu Temple.

After all, this is the job of Honglu Temple.

The elder brother next to him sighed: "The way to control the barbarians and Di in the Central Plains is that kindness is indispensable, but power is also indispensable. It is necessary to have both kindness and power to make them feel and fear. This cunning heart has disappeared. I don't know this The next step is to beat these barbarians to get rid of their little thoughts. "

"They haven't even arrived yet, do you think they have some evil intentions?" Li Qi asked helplessly.

"Otherwise? What else could they be here for? Is it for friendship? Do you believe it?" the eldest brother asked.

While the two were talking, they saw fireworks blooming all around.

Those are fireworks.

Along with the fireworks, I saw:

The guests arrived and there was great joy.

The green curtains are covered with white felts.

Strange delicacies and fruits, all fragrant.

The music of actors is played by both gold and stone.

The sound shook the world and could be heard for miles.

The banners are full of flowers, and the Qiu is driving the tiger.

Birds and beasts leap over it.

The clouds are flowing and the clouds are flowing, and the sky is falling.

There are many civil servants wearing official attire and jade.

There were more military attaches wearing helmets and armor, with flags flying and swords and guns flashing.

The flags on the front and rear cover the sun, and auspicious clouds surround the Pegasus, the hornless dragon, the white tiger, and various flying beasts and birds on the car, and the five-color auspicious clouds linger and transpire.

The pomp was huge.

Of course, it was appropriate to have this pomp, because Li Qi saw a man wearing purple official uniform.

The Tang Dynasty had clear rules and a strict system. There were regulations on the official rank and the clothes to wear, and they could not be worn randomly.

Purple official uniforms indicate that they are third grade or above.

There is only one third-rank person in Honglu Temple, and that is the Minister of Honglu Temple!

To be able to have the Minister of Honglu Temple come to greet him in person meant that there was at least a great witch.

Did Wushen Mountain actually send a great witch here?

Li Qi saw that the two leading adults came forward with Yan Ke and Boyue.

The ceremony officer greeted him and brought him to the hall. Both parties recited the salute and paid homage to each other. The ceremony officer presented Bi Zhiyi, and then the guests and hosts sat down separately.

Then, Yan Ke took the initiative to greet him.

Yan Ke is a Zhuren of the same lineage as humans and ghosts, and he is a very handsome guy, just like the handsome Li Qi who stared at him in the past.

Obviously, the great witch deliberately asked the young congratulator to come and read the congratulations, just to train him.

From this point, it can be seen that the great witches should not care much about this meeting.

If you care, Da Zhu should write it himself instead of letting an eighth-grade kid do it.

Li Qi felt that there was a high probability that it had been discussed behind the scenes, and what was said here was just that everyone came to the table and talked casually.

Li Qi looked far into the distance and watched Yan Ke, a handsome man, walk up to the stage and start reciting a congratulatory speech.

This is not just a congratulation, but a ‘covenant’.

It is one of Zhuren’s professional careers.

In ancient times, the purpose of the alliance between nations was to coordinate among them.

Yan Ke stood in front of the crowd and sang: "Since three hundred years ago, the two sides of the Tang and Wu Dynasties have been at odds. Therefore, in recent years, there have been constant floods and droughts, frequent frost disasters, landslides and earthquakes, extraordinary changes, traitors, and thieves. At this time, the people were groaning and becoming more and more trapped. When the hundreds of states read the Chinese imperial edicts, they did not fail to think about the lives of the people. Therefore, they put forward the principle of abandoning donations, preaching trust and building peace, and focusing on the use of troops. "

"However, although the Tang and Baiyue Song Kingdoms used weapons and weapons, they did not commit any crimes in the Qiu Dynasty. They can be said to be benevolent and righteous teachers. Only the former officers bribed and then released them. The Song Kingdom paid attention to the plan, which was particularly messy. They invaded and fished, and were defeated by the soldiers. The thief stole his hair and took this as his name. He relied on heaven's grace. Fortunately, he was fine and had stopped fighting. When he was deposed, he was sent to a distant place. "

"The ancient sage kings Yao and Shun were virtuous, and Yu and Tang Kekuan were not complacent or false in their benevolence. They are willing to pray to heaven for the people, so that the common people know that they have no intention of being a soldier. The ghosts and gods of heaven and earth will forgive their last resort. I will return in a few days. Mourning the family members, it is easy to be surly and peaceful, and to be poor and poor, to be rich and peaceful, how lucky the world is!"

"Therefore, the two sides have reconciled. Each side is afraid of reforming its past, and the traitor is cunning but self-restrained. The constitution is upheld, justice is done, the officials have the spirit of innovation, and the treachery is invisible."

"The new atmosphere shows the effectiveness of this policy. Therefore, I hope that the two countries of the Tang Dynasty will have relations again. Benevolence will nourish them, righteousness will take them, etiquette will calm them, and trust will be implemented. The four are based on this, and the world will be fearful of loyalty. The heart of integrity, the grace of tranquility, and the beauty of customs will become a hundred times more beautiful, and there is hope for clarification!"

Yanke read his congratulations seriously.

Li Qi below was almost dumbfounded.

Sir, are you so brave? !

Aren't you afraid of being beaten to death on the spot when you recite this kind of congratulatory message? !

Although this letter of congratulations has gorgeous words and a modest tone, it looks like something from a science school.

But to sum it up, it’s actually just one sentence.

"Originally, everyone was fine, but now you come to beat me and reap the consequences, right? Why don't you have to finally stop and make peace, and make it look like something else? You should learn from my benevolence, justice, etiquette, or you will be too incompetent. "

Moreover, he also used the humane ancient saint kings as examples, saying that the ancient saint kings did not like hypocrisy, so it was better to stop the war as soon as possible.

Although it's not stated explicitly, that's probably what it means.

What's more, the subject of this message is "Baiyue".

In other words, Wu Shenshan's identity was not used to say anything to the Tang State at all, but Baiyue and the Tang State were allowed to negotiate on an equal footing.

This is a slap in the face in public.

Li Qi looked around and found that many people who understood did have angry faces.

Some of the officials even glared at Yanke directly.

This is a congratulatory speech that is obviously not intended for the purpose of making friends, and it is full of yin and yang.

Now Li Qi understands why the speech was read by a guest.

This is just a young man of the eighth rank.

What can you say, the child is just ignorant, you won't still be fussy about it, right?

Obviously, this occasion is just a small occasion, so it is a display of Wushen Mountain's attitude?

Although there is anger, it is obvious that everything has been discussed behind the scenes, so it is naturally impossible to turn against each other at this time.

Next, another ceremonial officer from the Honglu Temple came forward and began to say his own oath.

Li Qi naturally listened to it below.

Not surprisingly, it is basically the same as Wushen Mountain.

Everyone is yin and yang to each other.

The oath of the Tang Kingdom can be summarized into one meaning.

"You barbarians, did I give you face? Do you have to beat you up to feel comfortable?"

There is even a sentence in it, which says "The Supreme wants to show the generosity of our Celestial Empire, but is met with the hospitality of the distant vassal. The barbarians are so deceitful and insatiable that it is hard to trust them. They are greedy and ask for more rewards. If there is no war, how can we know that the barbarians will not laugh at the Central Plains for being easily deceived?"

This is even more cruel than what Yanke wrote, basically pointing at the nose and scolding.

A simple translation is: "If I don't beat you up twice, you barbarians will be itchy and uncomfortable!"

This meeting and welcome party was held in such a warm atmosphere.

Then, the two sides met according to etiquette and formed an alliance. Everyone laughed, as if they were not the ones who just cursed with the blessing speech.

Continue to develop below.

The big brother next to him was still recording with a magic weapon, watching the Tang Dynasty's blessing speech and scolding excitedly, and he seemed to really like this scene.

Just before, when Yanke scolded people, he was also the one who glared at them.

Li Qi was watching this scene from the side, and he had the urge to turn around and leave.

He always felt that if he stayed, his future would not be easy.

Just watch it, watch this ceremony, and then run away. It is best not to contact the envoys in public.

With the attitude he spoke today, if nothing unexpected happens, Wushenshan will probably be scolded in the terminal. If he is exposed, he may also be hit by stones on the window.

The ceremony above lasted for about an hour. After the two sides finished scolding each other, the rest was red tape.

In fact, it can't be considered red tape, because those covenant ceremonies, if they are done seriously, will really take effect and begin to constrain both parties. Whoever violates it will be backfired.

Unfortunately, it is obvious that neither side has this intention, so they changed the ceremony separately, making it inconsistent and losing its effectiveness, and it became a simple red tape.

When the ceremony was over, the people around him also dispersed.

Li Qi turned around and prepared to run away with the crowd.

Just after turning around and taking a step, he suddenly felt that he had stepped into the air.

Li Qi's heart tightened, and he immediately took a breath, stood up straight, and put on a majestic look.

As expected, his eyes blurred, and suddenly, he was standing in the team of Wushen Mountain.

Next to him was Yan Ke, who was very well-mannered and could smile while scolding people.

There was also Boyue, who looked like a Sima, and looked unhappy.

He suddenly appeared among them.

It can be seen that they were not surprised by his arrival. Yan Ke even nodded slightly to him, obviously expecting it.

On the other side, the Tang officials were a little surprised, but they soon calmed down and pretended not to see it.

There was some commotion among the onlookers outside.

The big brother who had just chatted with him saw that he suddenly appeared inside, and his eyes were wide open.

As for the most important big witch...

Li Qi took a sneak peek and found that the big witch leading the team was also looking at him, and his eyes seemed to speak.

He said, "After you go back, you'd better give me an explanation."

For some reason, Li Qi felt what the other party meant, as if he had said it to him personally.

It should be some kind of magical power, right?

Forget it... Let's think about how to explain it after we go back.

After all, I was the first to run here, and then I left the group to watch outside, and after watching, I wanted to run away immediately.

It is indeed necessary to give an explanation to this leading witch...

Li Qi just stood firm when he saw the officials of the Tang State, one of whom came over.

He clasped his hands and handed over an invitation in a very official manner.

"Then, the ceremony here is over, and the banquet has been set up. Please come to the banquet together. After that, all parties will discuss matters, and the envoys will discuss them one by one. The banquet will be tonight. At that time, not only will there be the Minister of the Honglu Temple, but also other officials and even the monarchs of the various barbarians waiting."

After speaking, he presented the invitation and withdrew.

Many rituals have been completed, and it is time to withdraw.

The next thing is the dinner.

According to the convention, there would be people from the Honglu Temple to take them to visit scenic spots, and there would be interviews and so on.

But...

Everyone cursed in public, and it was obvious that the relationship was not that good, so the tour and interview parts were cut off.

Despite this, one of the two leading adults still walked out to negotiate some details with the Tang Kingdom. Otherwise, if they were allowed to set up the banquet venue, it would probably be a lot of fun.

The one who walked out seemed to be the deputy, which means that the other one was the great witch?

The remaining adult, who was the one who had just stared at Li Qi and pulled Li Qi out of the crowd, walked towards his own car with three young masters.

The cart pulled by the injured and weak real dragon.

When passing the car, the real dragon raised its head slightly and glanced at Li Qi, causing Li Qi to take a step back.

This is a real dragon, and this look made him tremble with fear.

But immediately, a dragon whip appeared on the frame, and it was whipped directly on the back of the real dragon. The scales flew and the skin was torn. He wailed and lay on the ground again, without moving.

Li Qi frowned.

At this time, he felt a gaze.

It was the gaze of the great witch.

The information in the gaze was exactly the same as the feeling before.

The look said: "Four strands of wood energy from the big forest, one strand of long-flowing water energy, water and wood solidify the origin."

Li Qi was slightly surprised.

Was he hinting to himself to save this real dragon...?

However, since the adults had spoken, there was no need for a child like him to say anything. He tapped his fingers lightly, and drew out five strands of air from his human body, which condensed silently in his palm.

Then, pretending to be a curious baby, he touched the dragon's skin as if he had never seen a real dragon, and slapped it into the other party's body.

The water and wood energy can slightly improve the other party's self-healing ability.

It is impossible to heal injuries, and he does not have that ability, but it is okay to make the other party feel better through this method.

The real dragon snorted, as if he wanted to say something, but the dragon binding rope on his body made it impossible for him to do anything else, so he could only respond like this.

Then, under the onlookers of many people, Li Qi and others got on the car together.

As soon as he got on the car, the atmosphere inside the car changed.

Li Qi glanced at his terminal.

Sure enough, there was no signal.

The great witch isolated the carriage with the human body he gave himself.

Then, the unknown great witch pulled a stool and sat down.

Li Qi, Yan Ke, and Boyue stood obediently, waiting for the adults to speak.

The three young men exchanged glances, but unfortunately no one could understand what the other two were saying, and finally gave up this inefficient communication.

I don’t know what method the great witch used. It was neither telepathic nor voice. Even Zhen Zhiyun didn’t feel it, and it is estimated that even other Tang officials didn’t feel it.

It was as if it was just a look.

The great witch first said: "This car was given by the humane officials. If we take this car, it will be a slap in the face of Donghai, so I leave you alone to do some good things so that we can explain it later."

Then, he asked Li Qi: "Mr. Qi, you came to Tang secretly, and I heard that you also secretly brought the Moon Master from Luofu Mountain. Is this true or false?"
