first minister

Some ignorant Honglu Temple officials were about to step forward to explain to Xue Wenlu that this was not the legendary Lord Xia, but another equally legendary Lord Bai, but he was stopped by the Shangguan with quick eyesight and quick hands.

There is no such thing as a mediocre person who can serve as a good envoy.

What's more, Beiliang is not a small country, so how could it not even prepare this little information?

Even if you really don’t know, it’s okay to ask first!
With this said, it is obvious that the confrontation has already begun.

Bai Yunbian's thoughts quickly turned around, and he realized almost in the blink of an eye that the other party already knew his identity and was teasing him!

Okay, okay, this is the way to play, right?
You dare to seek death first before I take action?
There was a strange expression on his face, as if to say: Friend, you are playing with fire.

"You recognize Shangshu Xia, I am very happy. But you only recognize Shangshu Xia, and I think it is normal. After all, Beiliang Tiger Wolf can recognize several heroes of the Celestial Dynasty."

Hearing this, Xue Wenlu showed a look of little interest on his face, "So your Majesty is not Lord Xia?"

Bai Yunbian smiled and pondered, "According to your wishes, in our Brilliant Heaven, only Xia Shangshu is qualified to welcome you?"

Xue Wenlu did not jump into the trap, but said regretfully: "Of course, everyone is qualified. How can you be picky and picky if you just follow the host? But among the younger generation, besides Mr. Xia, who else can be worthy of attention?"

Bai Yunbian's eyes narrowed dangerously, and he said in a deep voice: "Then please remember, what is standing in front of you at this moment is the Marquis of Huai'an in Daxia, the eight hundred households in the city, Doctor Guanglu, and Yushi Zhongcheng, who are specially gifted Assisting the heroes of Xuande, beside the white clouds!"

The official name was just a few words, but the aura of power symbolized behind it made everyone in Honglu Temple sway in their hearts. They looked at the back of the young man in front of them, full of envy and admiration.

This long list of titles, they would be extremely happy to pick up any one of them.

Many people in the Beiliang mission were also secretly stunned. Although the official system in Daxia and Daliang was different, they all knew the names of marquises and heroes when they heard it.

People, including Yelu Wende and Yuan Wenjing, had to admit that all this on such a young person was enough to arouse admiration, surprise and envy.

But they didn't panic, because their leader was even more complicated.

Sure enough, Xue Wenlu's calm and calm words instantly silenced the entire audience again, and Bai Yunbian was choked to the point of speechlessness.

"My father, King Zhennan."

Whether you are smart or excellent, just this sentence that my father is a prince can make all your efforts seem so absurd and pale. The end point of your life's struggle is the starting point where I have been standing since I was born.

You work hard within the rules of the game, but I can even change the rules, or set rules that are beneficial to me at any time, so what do you have to fight with me?

No matter how many titles you have, you are just a domestic slave, and I am the master.

You can despise it, you can despise it, but you have to admit this fact.

Bai Yunbian was also stunned by these words, and insisted: "I have twenty titles, and my future is limitless!"

Xue Wenlu smiled calmly and said, "My father, King Zhennan."

The corner of Bai Yunbian's mouth twitched, "Your father is your father, it's your own ability! How can young people of our generation only rely on the shadow of their fathers!"

"My father, King Zhennan."

"Did you go out without any brains today?"

"Your Excellency has been suspected of insulting my envoy. I will report this to the Queen Mother of your country and ask for an explanation. In addition, my father, King Zhennan."

Baiyunbian:
Are you fucking trying to kill all the magic with me?
The Minister of Honglu Temple sighed, still thinking that Mr. Bai would anger the other party so that they could gain some control over the other party's thoughts and ideas. However, he did not expect that the opponent would be so difficult to deal with. With just one word, Mr. Bai was able to defeat him first. , and also gave others a clue.

How to play this?There's no way to play anymore!
As for the Beiliang Mission, everyone looked proud, looking at Bai Yunbian with a bit of mockery in their eyes.

That's it?

Dare you jump out and confront His Royal Highness?

His Royal Highness's eloquence is not comparable to that of you losers from the Southern Dynasties?
Bai Yunbian looked at Xue Wenlu, who was smiling in front of him, and suddenly wished that he could transform into the Jiang Yuhu that he least wanted to see at this moment, and slap him twice, until the other person dared not say a word.

Wait, Jiang Yuhu?

Zhennan King?
He quickly retrieved from his mind the information about Beiliang that Xia Jingyun had sent to his house last night.

"So, who is King Zhennan?"

The words Bai Yunbian spoke again instantly made everyone in Honglu Temple bow their heads in shame, and there were even snickers among the Beiliang envoys.

Xue Wenlu smiled and said: "My father is the brother of His Majesty, the Grand Marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, the commander-in-chief of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the Snow Dragon Cavalry and the Falcon Cavalry, and the King of Zhennan, Xue Nanzheng."

Bai Yunbian's expression changed, "Oh, is he the one who was kicked out by Jiang Yuhu?"

The laughter in the Beiliang mission quietly disappeared, and the smile on Xue Wenlu's face froze instantly.

"That was just a strategic retreat on the battlefield."

Bai Yunbian said calmly: "Your father was kicked out by Jiang Yuhu."

"What do you know!" Xue Wenlu snorted coldly, with a hint of anxiety, "I, the Daliang Iron Cavalry, won more than once against your Southern Dynasty frontier army, but in that battle I was just my father."

"Your father was chased away by Jiang Yuhu." Bai Yunbian was like an emotionless repeater. "Not only was he chased away, he also retreated for more than 100 miles. He and his men changed clothes and armor before escaping."

Xue Wenlu's face suddenly turned cold, "How dare Zhu Zi'an talk so much!"

"Your Excellency has been suspected of insulting me. I will report this to the Queen Mother and Your Majesty. I will also send a letter of credence to your Majesty and ask for an explanation. In addition, your father was indeed kicked out by Jiang Yuhu."

The boomerang he just threw quickly hit his chest. Xue Wenlu, who was running rampant in Beiliang and no one dared to provoke him, felt the blood rush to his forehead. He tried his best to steady his body and suppress his emotions, "I am here to serve you." I have been ordered by Your Majesty to discuss important matters with the Queen Mother of your country, and I am not engaging in a verbal quarrel with you!"

As soon as these words are spoken, it means admitting defeat.

The minister of Honglu Temple was immediately overjoyed, and his eyes changed when he looked at Bai Yunbian. Rumors said that Master Bai was a very good person, but it was a pity that he was not mute. When he saw him today, he was indeed extraordinary!
The center is worthy of being the center, to be able to choose such a suitable person!

The rest of the court also looked in admiration. The other party was so messy, but they didn't expect Lord Bai to turn the situation around so easily. It was great.

Bai Yunbian was in high spirits, and it was the time to beat up the drowned dog. How could he let Xue Wenlu go so easily? Hearing this, he chuckled, "Do you know why I am here to greet you?"

What else can you do? You have sharp teeth and can bite!

Xue Wenlu cursed secretly, took a deep breath, and maintained his dignity, "I would like to hear the details."

"You Beiliang people only admire the strong. The person who can keep you honest the most in this court is Jiang Yuhu, who defeated your father."

Xue Wenlu gritted his teeth, "Can we not mention this?"

"It's a pity that Jiang Yuhu is not in Zhongjing, but I am."

Bai Yunbian paused, "I scold Jiang Yuhu, but he won't even retaliate!"

After saying that, Bai Yunbian flicked his sleeves, turned around and strode away, leaving everyone in Beiliang with shocked expressions.

Jiang Yuhu, the Little King of Hell, was the nightmare of many Beiliang frontier troops, and most of them from the Zhennan Palace knew his hero well.The man in front of him actually scolded Jiang Yuhu so much that he didn't even dare to retaliate?
How arrogant and domineering this is!
Everyone thought that Jiang Yuhu and Xia Jingyun were the leaders of the younger generation in the Southern Dynasty. Who would have thought that there would be a Baiyunbian!

Everyone looked at the figure who left gracefully, their eyes full of shock.

Yelu Wende and Yuan Wenjing looked at each other and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

A person who can defeat Jiang Yuhu may be the biggest variable in their trip.

Xue Wenlu also looked at Bai Yunbian's back. He didn't even have time to taste the pain of losing the first match. Bai Yunbian's last words echoed in his mind for a long time.

[I scold Jiang Yuhu, but he won’t retaliate. 】

That's Jiang Yuhu!
A top general who even his father has to deal with with the most serious attitude, is Bai Yunbian so capable?
It seems that for many things, it is difficult to see the true status from information without experiencing it in person.

He recalled what Jiang Yuhu said outside the inn that day. Could this be what Jiang Yuhu said was his opponent in Zhongjing City?

"Your Majesty, let's go?"

Bai Yunbian successfully roused his prestige, and Honglu Temple Minister stepped forward with a smile, completing his job in a good mood.
-
Half an hour later, a member of the Zhongshu House quickly walked in, found Xia Jingyun's workshop, and handed the letter in his hand to Xia Jingyun, "Sir, here is a summary of the words and deeds of Bai Zhongcheng and the Beiliang Mission during their first meeting."

Xia Jingyun nodded, took it with a smile, and nodded kindly, "Thank you for your hard work, let's go and rest."

Then, Xia Jingyun picked up the letter and read it briefly, and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Brother Lexian, it is indeed you!
It's really called a man whose quality is unknown, and he becomes stronger when he encounters strength.

You are able to pull back others who are so messy. This mouth is really powerful!
After instructing several subordinates to make several copies of the letter, he invited everyone in the center to the political hall.

After a while, everyone came over, and Xia Jingyun handed the letter to everyone, "Everyone, the Beiliang delegation has arrived. Let's take a look at this first confrontation."

This is a strategy that everyone has decided on long ago. Whether it is angering or suppressing, they are just means. The real purpose is to analyze the true intentions of the Beiliang people from the clues and the reactions of Xue Wenlu and everyone in the mission.

At present, if the worst-case scenario is adopted, the crisis of national subjugation and genocide does not exist, so the height of this matter has risen to the central level.

After hearing this, everyone picked up the letter paper on the table and read it seriously.

Then, their expressions couldn't help but become weird.

Baiyunbian started as usual, but was hit by Xue Wenlu's unexpected attack.

And then the sentence "My father is the king of Zhennan" made the whole scene ridiculous.

But Bai Yunbian's reaction in a very short period of time was also exquisite. The sentence "Your father was kicked out by Jiang Yuhu" made Xue Wenlu, who was originally confident of winning, also fail.

In the end, the war of words ended with Baiyunbian's victory.

After reading it in silence, Yang Weiguang held it in for a long time and finally said, "Bai Zhongcheng is such a wonderful man!"

Wei Yuanzhi laughed, "Bai Zhongcheng's mouth, with Wei Guogong's qi-nurturing skills, he couldn't help but get angry when he saw him, and punished a mere Beiliang person, no matter what!"

Yan Songwen had a straight face, as if he was displeased that the Yushitai had produced such a thing.

But then I thought about it, doesn’t Yushitai need people like Bai Yunbian?It's a match made in heaven, the chosen one.

Everyone immediately realized that they were worried about their own future!

The second in command is so capable, can this one still hold his position?

"Everyone, let's take a look at these words."

Wan Wenbi used his maturity and poise as the prime minister to bring everyone back to the topic from their strange thoughts.

He gently shook the letter paper in his hand and said with a smile: "Xue Wenlu's first sentence was an attempt to sow discord between Bai Zhongcheng and Gao Yang!"

Xia Jingyun looked calm, "Then he made the wrong calculation. Brother Lexian shouldn't be so broad-minded."

Wan Wenbi chuckled and did not continue speaking.

Li Tianfeng said: "Look, everyone, Xue Wenlu only mentioned the Queen Mother in the whole process, and did not mention His Majesty in half a sentence, which shows the sinister intentions of his intentions."

"When the Queen Mother comes to court, this method is considered routine. However, Your Majesty is still young, and the Queen Mother is also wise and benevolent in her administration. His plan is destined to fail."

Yang Weiguang spoke slowly, "From this person's words, I feel that he is quite proud of his father, the King of the South of Beiliang Zhennan. This may be the starting point."

Yan Songwen hummed, "What Prime Minister Yang said is true. This person was born in the Southern Prince's Mansion in Beiliang, and he also has a lot of insights into military matters. We might as well design a debate to refute his actions, which may have miraculous effects."

Everyone talked for a while, and Xia Jingyun said with a smile: "We don't need to rush to a conclusion. There will be a reception banquet tonight. Let's see how the Crown Prince and his two deputy envoys perform! As for Bai Zhongcheng, you should be relieved now, right?"

Everyone, including Yan Songwen, had to admit that no one could do this job better than Bai Yunbian.

Yan Songwen suddenly said: "Gao Yang, I would like to ask, what Bai Zhongcheng said is that when he started to scold Prince Anguo, Prince Anguo didn't even reply. Is this true or false? If it is false, can he be allowed to talk nonsense like this? , which made Prince Anguo displeased!"

Xia Jingyun smiled and said, "It's true. Don't worry, even if Prince Anguo heard this, he wouldn't be able to fault it."

Seeing the shocked expressions on everyone's face, Xia Jingyun thought to himself: No, Jiang Yuhu never talks back and always strikes directly.
-
The posthouse in Zhongjing City was very different from the ones along the way, but after all, they were in an enemy country, and no one in Beiliang felt as relaxed as if they were home. They all performed their duties and were ready.

In the house surrounded by people, Xue Wenlu, Yelu Wende, and Yuan Wenjing were sitting.

The expressions of the two deputy envoys were a little solemn. They thought that this trip was just to take advantage of the general trend and go smoothly, but they did not expect that the attitude of the Southern Dynasty was so tough, and the welcome guests sent by the Southern Dynasty were even more powerful weapons like Baiyunbian. This trip I'm afraid it won't be easy to achieve the goal.

"What? Scared?"

Xue Wenlu raised his eyebrows and spoke softly.

Yelvwende said: "Your Majesty, this white cloud is so powerful, I'm afraid we will be in trouble next time."

Xue Wenlu smiled faintly: "So what? Can he make Dongfang Ping die suddenly, or can he make Murong Hu withdraw his troops? The trend is mine, the advantage is mine, so what can I do with a little bit of rhetoric?"

He raised his brows and smiled playfully, "Besides, how do you know that I really lost to him today instead of letting him think that he won?"

Yuan Wenjing's expression changed, "That's right. His Royal Highness is known for being clever and calm. How could he easily get angry because of King Zhennan's affairs."

Yelu Wende suddenly understood and looked at Xue Wenlu, "Your Majesty, are you saying you did it on purpose?"

"Not entirely. If Bai Yunbian is a mediocre person, I don't mind letting him humiliate himself. But since he has some ability, I will let him and the Nanchao Central Committee think they have won, and mislead them by the way."

Tuk Tuk Tuk.

There was a knock on the door, and a man came over and handed a letter.

"His Royal Highness, Master Cheng has sent me a message saying that there will be a banquet at Mingyu Tower in the city at midnight to greet His Highness and all your lords."

Xue Wenlu stood up with his hands behind his hands, "Get ready and see what Nanchao will do tonight!" (End of Chapter)
