The Multiverse Starting from White Deer Plain

There are very few ministers who can influence King Zhao, and the only one who knows the princess in the palace so well is Zhao Mu, the Marquis of Julu. In addition, the news she found was indeed that Zhao Mu had admonished King Zhao to make her the crown prince and concubine of Wei, in order to appease Wei and gain a temporary respite on the Zhao border.

Zhao Yan got into trouble. It is difficult for South Korea to protect itself, while Qi is recuperating. After Le Yi destroyed Qi last time, within just a few decades, Qi had not recovered its strength and was unable to move westward. The Chu State was also half-broken. After the Battle of Yan-Ying, Chu State lost its old capital Yingdu under the attack of Wu'an Lord Bai Qi, and the entire Jianghan Plain fell into the hands of the Qin State. At this time, the Chu State had moved its capital to Chenying.

The Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, Qi, Chu, and Han were unable to influence Zhao Yan's border affairs, and only Wei had this ability. Lord Xinling stole the talisman to save Zhao, which made other countries deeply jealous.

"Princess Qian."

Bai Gui cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty is wise and mighty, and he has already made up his mind. My father cannot serve as a lowly minister, so how can he affect the king's palace? It's okay for Princess Qian to make a mistake in front of me, but if she makes a mistake in front of the king, this is a big deal." Guilty."

"this……"

Zhao Qian suddenly became speechless.

She didn't expect Bai Gui to be so sharp-tongued. As soon as she said this, if she was still criticizing Bai Gui and Juluhou Zhao Mu, she would be questioning her father's decision. No matter how favored she was by King Zhao on weekdays, her father would not let her off easily if it involved important matters between the two countries and the prestige of King Zhao.

"After Mr. Li fell into the water, Zhang Yi and Su Qin had the ability to use their words on me, a woman and child."

After suffering a small loss, Zhao Qian did not dare to show weakness and made a sarcastic comment.

Zhang Yi and Su Qin are both famous people in the world. If we compared these two people on weekdays, I would praise them at that time. But the words between the two of them made other countries astonished and the princes frightened... But compared to this, Bai Gui's words to flatter her seemed much despicable.

Bai Gui didn't answer, took a sip of the sifted wine, and looked outside the palace.

As time passes, the guests take their seats.

Most of the cases approaching King Zhao were princes, ministers and children of nobles. In the back seats were the family members of some ministers. The customs of the pre-Qin Dynasty were open, so there were many young women entering the venue, which looked quite eye-catching.

After a while, Lian Jin appeared in a warrior uniform.

Lian Jin is handsome and handsome, and has a good reputation among various countries. As soon as he appeared on the stage, he caught the eyes of the guests present. In particular, some noble ladies frequently looked sideways at Lian Jin.

"Chief Wu..."

Zhao Mu, the Marquis of Julu, who was sitting at the table, suddenly said, "If Master Hongying doesn't mind, I have a nice seat here, so please come and sit with me."

"Clan Chief Wu Yaliang, you probably don't mind this."

He smiled.

Hongying Young Master Lian Jin is a disciple of Wu Mansion. Logically speaking, he should be seated in the Wu Mansion row. At this moment, Julu Hou Zhao Mu said this, intending to make Lian Jin switch to his side.

"If Lian Jin is willing, how can I disagree?"

Wu Shiluo was angry in his heart, but his face was extremely calm. He smiled softly and said: "The Marquis intends to invite guests from all over the world, and Lian Jin is the leader of the country. In time, the Marquis will be the next plain of our Zhao Kingdom." Jun. Among the four great princes, the Marquis should be added to the list."

The four great princes of the Warring States Period were Mengchang of Qi, Xinling of Wei, Pingyuan of Zhao, and Chunshen of Chu. Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng is the son of King Zhao Wuling. A few years ago, Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng passed away.

Today, only the four great princes, Lord Xinling and Lord Chunshen, are still alive.

Zhao Mu, the Marquis of Julu, wanted to rob the Wu family's Luo guests to suppress the prestige of the Wu family. Wu Shiluo was not to be outdone and tried to persuade Zhao Mu by saying that he was ambitious.

Lian Jin gritted his teeth and secretly scolded Julu Hou Zhao Mu for being unkind. Zhao Mu suddenly challenged him and asked him to make a choice. If he betrays the Lord, his reputation will be ruined. But if he doesn't betray his master, he will fall into the hands of Zhao Mu again.

If he switches to someone else in the future...

Who would want a betrayer!

"Thank you, Lord Marquis, for your appreciation. How could Lian Jin disobey me?"

Lian Jin handed over his hand and entered the row where Zhao Mu was.

His only choice was to seek refuge with Julu Hou Zhao Mu, and there was no way he would not obey his orders. His original plan was to wait and see between Wushi Luo and Juluhou Zhao Mu, and then take refuge openly after the situation was settled. But now that he thought about it carefully, he understood.

How could he, a mere swordsman, have the right to watch and sit on the fence?

As Lian Jin chose his camp, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became quite silent, and you could hear a needle drop. Everyone was watching to see how Wu Shiluo handled the matter.

Lian Jin's surrender seemed to be a small matter, but Ruowu Shiluo was incapable of finding a way back to Julu Hou Zhao Mu. This means that Wufu is about to decline...

Lian Jin... was a signal sent by the Julu Hou Zhao Mu, or even the King of Zhao.

Although the Wushi's love for Qin was not a well-known thing, among the hundreds of officials in the court, they had definitely heard about it.

"Lian Jin, you must win tonight, otherwise..."

Wu Shiluo sneered.

At this moment, the ceremonial bell rang, and everyone took their seats, waiting for King Zhao to arrive and enter the palace.

"The King of Yan did not overestimate his own capabilities. Taking advantage of the weakening of our Zhao State after the Changping Battle, he raised his troops to attack our Zhao State. However, even though our Zhao State is not as good as the Qin State, it is not comparable to the small Yan State..."

After the King of Zhao took his seat, he first said "all the ministers are safe", and then said: "The old and weak soldiers of our Zhao Kingdom can still defeat the Yan Kingdom. It can be seen that the Yan Kingdom's army has been destroyed, seize the land of Yan, regroup, and then Competing with Qin for supremacy..."

"My dear friends, please help me, the State of Zhao, to destroy Yan with just one sentence!"

He picked up the wine glass and shouted.

All the ministers of Zhao State cheered together and drank happily.

The Yan State stole the chicken but failed to lose the rice. On the contrary, it proved the weakness of the Yan State. This is a great time for Zhao. Even if there is a battle in Changping, all the elites of Zhao country will be lost. However, the martial arts of Zhao State is so majestic that no other country can compare with it except Qin State.

"The success of the first battle against Yan was due to the contribution of all the ministers. However, without the Wu clan chief to provide war horses and food for our Zhao country, the Zhao army would probably not be able to survive. Without Mr. Guo's weapons and shipping, I, the warrior of Zhao, can hardly attack the enemy..."

King Zhao stood up and encouraged Wushi Luo and Guo Zong.

In the pre-Qin period, because all the countries were aligned, wealthy businessmen appeared frequently. Those far away include Fan Li and Bai Gui, while those nearby include Lu Buwei, Widow Qing and others. Wushiluo and Guo Zong were wealthy businessmen in Zhao.

The worries in Wu Shiluo's heart gradually disappeared and a smile appeared.

As King Zhao commended the ministers by name one by one, the atmosphere of the banquet became increasingly lively.

"What a powerful scheming..."

Bai Gui was secretly shocked.

King Zhao Xiaocheng and Zhao Dan were not considered wise men in the Warring States Period, but they all had such scheming intentions. First, Juluhou Zhao Mu made trouble with the Jin Dynasty, and then King Zhao appeased Wushi Luo's heart. As a result, Wu Shiluo was firmly in the hands of King Zhao.

Wu Shiluo is not a simple person. To be able to make such a fortune, he must be a sophisticated person.

Shao Qing, after King Zhao finished commending the ministers, he summoned Lian Jin and Xiang Shaolong to the front of the palace, "Lian Jin, your swordsmanship is famous in other countries, and Xiang Shaolong, you are not bad either. With the power of one person, you can retreat wisely." Eight hundred horse thieves. Both of you are among the best among men. Today I am calling you two to the palace to compete with swords, just to promote the martial spirit of my master and father..."

King Zhao Wuling abdicated the throne to King Zhao Huiwen, claiming to be his father.

Lord father means the father of the monarch.

"The swordsmanship of the two of you must be hard to find in the world. I and I can't wait to be my beloveds. However, we need to know that soldiers are dangerous. You two have to point it out, and remember not to hurt anyone. The winner, I will make him a swordsman in front of the emperor. , you can lead the troops to conquer the Yan Kingdom with Lord Xinping."

Zhao Dan smiled and said.

Lord Xinping is the title of Lian Po.

"I obey your orders."

Lian Jin and Xiang Shaolong took the order.

But at this moment, Julu Hou Zhao Mu stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I have a suggestion."

"Julu Hou, please tell me?"

King Zhao was startled.

"It will be difficult for the two of them to show their swordsmanship until they reach the point. Moreover, the king appointed the victor as the imperial swordsman and asked them to lead the troops on the battlefield. However, arrows on the battlefield have no eyes, so how can they pay attention to etiquette?"

"Now is a time of great strife. Song Xianggong's behavior has passed."

Zhao Mu, the Julu Hou, came forward and admonished him.

In the battle of Hongshui, Xianggong of the Song Dynasty, he followed the righteous war of the Spring and Autumn Period and attacked without crossing the water halfway, but failed miserably. This was also a turning point when the Spring and Autumn Rites collapsed.

"What Julu Hou said makes sense."

King Zhao nodded.

"If two people were injured or killed, it would be unsightly to turn the celebration into a funeral."

Mrs. Ya stood up and persuaded.

Mrs. Ya is the sister of Zhao Dan and the wife of Zhao Kuo, the son of Ma Fujun.

"Sister Wang, I have my own sense of propriety."

King Zhao frowned and waved his hand for Zhao Ya to step back. After Zhao Ya sat down again, he said: "Juluhou has won the hearts of many people. If our Zhao country doesn't have a brave heart, I can't avenge the shame of Changping."

"You two, let's fight to the death."

He made the final decision.

Immediately afterwards, he threw the wine glass to the ground, "The way of war is also the way of life and death. You two, decide the winner, whoever is my swordsman."

Lian Jin and Xiang Shaolong nodded in agreement.

The two competed in the palace.

One holds a golden sword and is a famous swordsman in various countries. The other one was taught the Mohist swordsmanship by Yuan Zong of the Mohist family, and also has the strong body of a modern person.

Clang clang clang clang.

The two started to fight dozens of moves, evenly matched, and there was no winner.

"Your Majesty, I have another suggestion."

Zhao Mu, the Marquis of Julu, smiled and said, "Lian Jin and Xiang Shaolong are both young and talented people, and they are not married. If the two of them win, I will boldly ask the king to grant a marriage to the winner to show our Zhao Kingdom's heart to accept talents... …”

After saying that, he stared at Wu Tingfang, Wu Shiluo's granddaughter.

Wu Tingfang…. One is that she is the most beautiful lady present, and the other is that this is another good opportunity to attack Wu Shiluo.

On the other side, there are the princes and princesses in the palace.

"You father..."

Zhao Qian glanced sideways at Bai Gui and hummed twice.

She did not continue for fear of offending Zhao Mu, King Zhao's favorite. But the implication is obvious, it's disgusting to be so lewd.

"Princess Qian's words are wrong..."

Bai Gui also felt helpless. Zhao Mu is only in his thirties now, not in his seventies or eighties. Furthermore, Zhao Mu was a lucky minister, not ministers such as Lian Po and Li Mu who were promoted through military merit. Such domineering behavior is really to be expected.

But Zhao Qian humiliated Zhao Mu like this, and he couldn't turn a blind eye.

Zhao Mu was humiliated, but he didn't care much. But if he allowed it to continue, it would not only ruin Zhao Mu's reputation, but also his reputation.

"My father was devoted to serving the country, but he saw that Chief Wu didn't get along with him, so he tolerated each other as a good thing..."

Bai Gui confused right and wrong.

When Zhao Ya heard this, she was stunned for a moment. Her beautiful eyes stared at Bai Gui seriously, as if she couldn't believe it. She had previously ridiculed Bai Gui for being just a talker, but now it seems that Bai Gui is really as talented as Su Qin and Zhang Yi.

The battle continues on the field.

King Zhao also agreed to the proposal of Julu Hou Zhao Mu and thought it was a good proposal. Lian Jin is from the Wei Kingdom, and Xiang Shaolong's identity is unknown, but he is probably from another country. If he grants a marriage to the winner, it will indeed show Zhao Guo's willingness to accept talents...

Suddenly, Xiang Shaolong deliberately sold a flaw, causing Lian Jin to accidentally miss. His heavy wooden sword accelerated suddenly, each sword was faster than the other. As he stepped forward, Lian Jin's exquisite swordsmanship could not withstand the power of Xiang Shaolong's heavy sword.

Lian Jin stumbled backwards, his mouth cracked, and he was about to be stabbed by Xiang Shaolong and die.

Everyone present was surprised, stood up quickly, and stared at this scene.

However, at the moment when Xiang Shaolong was about to stab Lian Jin in the chest, a black scabbard collided with the ridge of Xiang Shaolong's heavy wooden sword, causing his sword edge to miss.

With the help of this blow, Lian Jin quickly retreated and avoided death.

"who is it?"

Xiang Shaolong was angry and asked.

He and Lian Jin have a bloody feud.

Seeing revenge right at the moment, someone stopped him.

The guests present in the palace also looked shocked. This is a sword competition in the palace ordered by the king himself. Who has the courage to intervene in it?

"Your Majesty, it's me."

Bai Gui stood up. He wore a high crown on his head and a deep red robe with a curved train. He walked slowly into the front of the palace, turned around and bowed his hands to King Zhao, "Lian Jin was my master. Seeing that my master is about to die, Zhao Li was impatient, so he intervened and asked my king to punish him."

Lian Jin cannot die, at least not now.

Lian Jin is a minion under Juluhou. If Lian Jin dies, Julu Hou Zhao Mu will be looked down upon. This is detrimental to his future plans.

He may have already guessed the chance of becoming a golden immortal.

NCM…….

He's Bi has a mysterious power.

Lian Jin once presented He's Bi from the Wu Mansion to Zhao Mu, the Marquis of Julu, as a token of trust. And this Heshi Bi was naturally seen by Bai Gui. He Shibi has an energy that can travel through time and space.

However, if you want to make use of this Heshi Bi, it is inseparable from the human destiny of this world.

Besides, he is Zhao Mu's son, so how can he side with Xiang Shaolong. People who can't recognize their own butt will definitely not end well.

"It's Li'er, you..."

When King Zhao saw that it was Bai Gui, his face that was about to become angry softened. He nodded, "What you said makes sense. Lian Jin taught you swordsmanship. You are eager to save your teacher. It is unusual for you to do this."

If it were someone else who stopped the fight between the two, he would definitely punish him. But Bai Gui is the son of Zhao Mu, and he has always regarded him as his nephew. Furthermore, what Bai Gui said is justified.

"Your Majesty, our army is exhausted and can no longer continue."

"I am willing to fight on behalf of my teacher."

Bai Gui cupped his hands again.

"Master Li, Xiang Shaolong has already won, there is no need to fight again."

Wu Shiluo frowned.

He didn't want anything to go wrong, and it was only right to protect the fruits of victory.

"I'm not good at swordsmanship. If I fail to win with three moves, it will be considered Xiang Shaolong's victory. What does Chief Wu think?"

Bai Gui smiled and backed down a step.

"But a life and death battle?"

Wu Shiluo narrowed his eyes and asked.

If I can kill Zhao Mu's son, I will agree. As for Zhao Li's tragic death, it was not his fault, it was Zhao Li's fault. At most, the blame can be shifted to Xiang Shaolong.
