69novels Chapter 344
Chapter 344
The Qi family has started to harbor their own ulterior motives because of this incident, and they are all worried about their future.
It's not their fault, as they are not that afraid of Long Tian, but this time, revealing their family background and attracting the emperor's attention is what they least want to see.
"Everyone, don't have any small thoughts at this time. You must understand one thing. The strength of the Qi family does not lie in one person, but in the unity of all of us."
"Wei'er did act rashly this time. I will not excuse him. When the matter is over, I will naturally give everyone a satisfactory explanation."
"But now, you must contact all the forces you can use, always guard against Long Tian's sneak attack, and immediately strengthen the monitoring of Baiying City. The Qi family can only survive this disaster by working together."
"Everyone, please, you are not doing this for me this time, but for yourself and the entire family."
The head of the Qi family stood up, looked around, and bowed deeply.
Everyone knows that the so-called explanation of the head of the family is just a superficial article. Even if he resigns as the head of the family, he still holds an important position in the court and his power remains unchanged. It has no practical significance.
And the head of the family is right. No matter what is done afterwards, the current difficulties must be overcome first, otherwise it will be meaningless to say anything.
The Qi family is busy. Whether it is in-laws or various relationships, all are mobilized. On the one hand, experts are gathered to support the Qi family, and on the other hand, more people are dispersed to monitor Baiying City.
The court saw the actions of the Qi family, but did not interfere too much.
As the head of the Qi family realized, the emperor had already developed dissatisfaction with the Qi family. At this time, being able to dampen the Qi family's spirit or cause it to suffer heavy losses is exactly the result that the royal family wants to see.
In Baiying City, Long Tian still has not received a clear reply from the court. He is a little impatient. After all, he can't stay here forever.
After discussion, Long Tian decided to continue on the road, and secretly left Song Que and others to rush to the capital of Shanguo.
Long Tian's group of hundreds of people, missing ten or eight people, did not attract the attention of others.
Kyoto, Qi Family.
"What? Long Tian is gone?"
The head of the Qi family did not expect Long Tian to be gone. What does this mean? No more pursuit?
This seems impossible, doesn't it mean that the North Territory has given in?
If so, all the rumors about the North Territory will be greatly discounted, and the Shan Kingdom will have to reconsider the threat from the North Territory.
"Quick, prepare the car immediately, I want to go to the palace to see the emperor."
Long Tian's departure does not mean that the matter is over. How to face Xia Kingdom and the North Territory, Shan Kingdom still needs to consider.
Although the two countries are not adjacent, it is not so easy to meet each other with swords. After all, Chu is not weak, but the confrontation between masters is not restricted by region.
In the palace, the emperor of the Shan Kingdom also received the news, so he ordered to summon all the ministers to discuss the matter.
Soon, all the ministers gathered.
"Tell me, what does Long Tian mean by this?"
The Emperor of Shan State did not believe that Long Tian was a man who would swallow his anger. This time, Shan State made such a big move, and Long Tian could swallow this breath and leave.
"Your Majesty, the information is very accurate. Long Tian did take people out of Baiying City and is now heading towards the border."
As it concerns the Qi family, the head of the Qi family naturally stood up first.
"Does Qi Aiqing mean that Long Tian gave up and left in disgrace? I am very suspicious of this. As a newly rising hero in Xia State, how can Long Tian be so easy to talk to?"
Although the Emperor of Shan State did not want internal chaos, he did not think that Long Tian would leave like this. This was not in line with the king's style of doing things.
As a king, he represents the honor and disgrace of a country. How can he choose arbitrarily because of personal circumstances?
"Your Majesty means that Long Tian is repairing the plank road in the open and crossing Chencang in secret?"
Another minister understood the emperor's meaning and said that in fact, this is also the idea of many people.
If they were in his shoes, they would not let it go.
The current situation is that the Shan Kingdom cannot openly become an enemy. Even if it is secretly targeting, it must consider the consequences. Long Tian has the upper hand, so how can he give in?
The ministers of the Shan Kingdom are not all brainless people, so they naturally do not think this matter is so simple.
At this time, a little eunuch rushed in.
"Your Majesty, the city guards reported that ten swordsmen under the command of the Northern King of Xia Kingdom entered Kyoto and are now on Zhenwu Street, seemingly waiting for some kind of order."
The little eunuch reported quickly.
"Sure enough, Long Tian will not let it go so easily. He actually sent people to Kyoto blatantly. This guy is really confident and does not hide his intentions at all."
The old emperor was a little unhappy. Long Tian's move was to rub the face of the entire Shan Kingdom on the ground.
Long Tian's army left, but left behindTen masters entered Kyoto and even showed up directly. The intention of this move was very obvious, which was to see the attitude of the Shan Kingdom court.
If you can solve it, my people will go back after a round. If you can't solve it, then sorry, I will solve this matter myself.
"Your Majesty, this Long Tian is too arrogant. He wants to force our country with only ten people. It's really presumptuous."
The head of the Qi family naturally knew why these people came, and at this moment, he was adding fuel to the fire.
"Order people to pay close attention to the actions of this group of people, don't act rashly, and wait for my will at any time."
"My dear ministers, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
This matter has nothing to do with the royal family and the court, otherwise the old emperor would have issued an order to start a war long ago.
The old emperor also knew that Long Tian also knew that this matter had nothing to do with him. Only ten people came, and it also forced the old emperor to make a choice.
"Your Majesty, this matter concerns the dignity of the Shan State. No matter what the reason is, we cannot avoid fighting. Otherwise, how will other countries view our Shan State?"
Some radicals said that this is also easy to understand. If someone comes to your door, you must accept it no matter what the reason is.
At this moment, the face of the court has far exceeded personal grudges.
"Your Majesty, this matter is caused by the Qi family. It is best to ask the head of the Qi family to come forward. If you can turn hostility into friendship, it will naturally be the best."
Some people are trying to smooth things over and are unwilling to get involved.
"Your Majesty, my Qi family is willing to take the lead in maintaining the dignity of the Shan State. I only hope that your Majesty will support me when my Qi family is unable to do so."
The head of the Qi family knows the character of the old emperor. As he gets older, his sharpness gradually disappears.
The only wish of the old emperor at this moment is that the Shan State can be smoothly transitioned and handed over to his descendants during his lifetime.
As for fighting, the old emperor no longer has the spirit.
At this time, if the Qi family does not face it head-on, it is likely to be abandoned.
"Okay, then please ask Qi Aiqing to step forward first. It would be best if you can resolve the conflict. If not, I will not sit idly by."
The old emperor made a decision, but no one knew what he was thinking.
