Chapter 1558: The Living Yama dances with a sword, what is the intention?
Imperial Palace.
Jin Luandian.
Aguli, with a contemptuous expression and straight waist, said, "Your Majesty, time is extremely precious. I wonder how the Qian Emperor has considered it? Coming here this time, the Great Chanyu has brought great sincerity."
"As long as the Qian Emperor agrees to the Great Chanyu's conditions, our tribe's army will immediately retreat, and the various border counties between Da Qian and the grasslands will return to peace; wouldn't that be a win-win?"
Wu Zhao's expression was cold, her gaze fixed directly on Aguli.
She curled her lips and said mockingly, "Envoy, in your eyes, am I that stupid? Given the current situation in the world, would the Xiongnu backstab the three kingdoms and then so openly discuss conditions with me?"
"In the eyes of the Great Chanyu, am I that stupid?"
Wu Zhao's voice was extremely cold, carrying a very intense killing intent.
The officials looked at the Xiongnu envoy in unison; although the peace faction had long been restless, even they did not believe these words at all.
This did not look like coming for peace talks, but rather like deliberately teasing Da Qian and humiliating Gao Yang!
Aguli stared at Wu Zhao's position and narrowed his eyes slightly.
These words were naturally false; they were Helian Cha's intention, the purpose being to shake the morale of Da Qian and find a high-sounding excuse.
Furthermore, what if Wu Zhao believed it?
That would undoubtedly be a gift from heaven for the Xiongnu.
A plan to kill two birds with one stone, nothing more.
Wu Zhao leaned forward slightly, her body permeated with a powerful aura, and she continued, "Envoy, if the Xiongnu Great Chanyu truly had sincerity, then when mentioning a marriage alliance, he shouldn't have specifically named Lady Shangguan to go."
"Is this true sincerity, or is it a pretext to deliberately humiliate someone? You must know better than anyone, Envoy; do not take me for a fool."
Aguli narrowed his eyes and replied, "My Heavenly God tribe is always straightforward; we repay kindness with kindness and hatred with hatred. The Da Qian Living Yama captured the Great Chanyu's uncle and raided the rear of our army; this is a heaven-sized humiliation, and this hatred must be avenged!"
"The Great Chanyu's revenge is justified and has never been hidden, but this does not affect the Great Chanyu concluding an alliance with the Qian Emperor to stop the fighting."
"But if the Qian Emperor does not believe it, there is nothing I can do; it is just a pity for the people of Da Qian, that is all."
As soon as these words were spoken, Wu Zhao's phoenix eyes turned cold.
She said coldly, "Are you threatening me?"
Aguli was not afraid at all and said proudly, "Your Majesty, this is not a threat, but a fact!"
"If a real fight breaks out, Da Qian winning is still a loss, and losing is an even more disastrous defeat; on this point, I believe the Qian Emperor and all the officials in the court should be fully aware."
Wu Zhao's phoenix eyes turned cold, her expression solemn.
She was about to get angry.
But the next second.
An extremely cold voice, like a huge sonic boom, resounded through the entire Jin Luandian.
"A noisy old dog, and you dare to bark so wildly?"
Accompanied by this voice.
Cui Xinghe, Lu Wen, and others all turned their heads in unison, looking toward the outside of the Jin Luandian.
Within their sight.
Under the golden sunlight, a tall figure, wearing noble and imposing purple robes, was stepping into the Jin Luandian step by step against the light.
Accompanied by Gao Yang's entry.
For a moment, the air in the entire Jin Luandian seemed to be drained, making it hard to breathe.
"Lord Gao!"
"Prime Minister Gao!"
With Gao Yang's appearance.
The officials stared at Gao Yang, their gazes converging.
But when everyone looked at Gao Yang's right hand, their pupils shrank abruptly.
"Is... is that a long sword?"
When Cui Xinghe looked at the long sword refracting in the golden sunlight, his pupils shrank, and he looked up suddenly, a stormy sea rising in his heart.
It was not just Cui Xinghe and the others; Wu Zhao's phoenix eyes also looked at Gao Yang.
When she saw the long sword Gao Yang was carrying, her phoenix eyes also froze.
Yan Zheng's expression changed drastically, and he couldn't help but say.
"Lord Gao, this is the Jin Luandian, why are you bringing a sword to court?"
"This is a crime of treason!"
A trace of cold sweat seeped from his forehead.
He knew Gao Yang's killing intent was soaring, but Da Qian was a great nation; how could he execute the Xiongnu envoy in court? If this got out, wouldn't it be a laughingstock to the world?
Gao Yang glanced at Yan Zheng, his pace not stopping.
"When I executed Prince Rong, thanks to His Majesty's grace, I was specially permitted to enter the hall with a sword and shoes, and to carry weapons into court; how does this constitute a crime of treason?"
These words left Yan Zheng speechless.
In the entire Jin Luandian, Gao Yang was indeed the only one with such a privilege.
"Physician Yan, I have merely been obsessed with sword dancing recently and have achieved some success; I wanted to dance a sword dance before His Majesty, so you don't need to be so nervous."
Sword dance?
When Gao Yang said this, the officials were stunned.
Yan Zheng was also confused.
But since it wasn't to kill, but to dance with a sword, his heart eased slightly.
At this moment.
Gao Yang arrived at the center of the Jin Luandian.
Hearing the voice, Aguli looked toward Gao Yang's position, and what entered his eyes was Gao Yang's face, which looked like that of a god of death.
He could be certain that this was the Da Qian Living Yama!
Sword dance?
He didn't offer a sword dance on ordinary days, but now he wanted to dance?
Was this really to dance, or to execute him?
Aguli's heart skipped a beat.
Impossible!
In war between two countries, one does not execute the envoy; he, Aguli, carried the Xiongnu Great Chanyu's handwritten letter and came with an envoy group, which was completely different from the death soldiers who sent gifts these past few days.
Would Gao Yang dare to execute him with a sword in the Jin Luandian?
Was he not afraid of the scholars' verbal attacks and his name stinking for a thousand years in history books?
Thinking of this, Aguli's eyes softened slightly.
He turned to look at Gao Yang and said calmly.
"Lord Gao, I wonder if you like the four great gifts sent by the Great Chanyu? These were all carefully prepared by the Great Chanyu for Lord Gao."
"Especially this fourth gift; the Great Chanyu is kind-hearted, so he specifically left one arm of this Qian Dog to guard the gate for Lord Gao."
Gao Yang's eyes swept over, and he said with a light laugh, "I will never forget this generous gift in my life."
Gao Yang's voice was very light, but for some reason, it fell into Aguli's heart, making his hands and feet cold and chilling him.
At this moment,
He felt the crisis of death enveloping his entire body.
"Your Majesty, the Xiongnu envoy has come from afar and has even carefully prepared these gifts for your subject; I wish to return a sword dance, I wonder if Your Majesty will grant permission?" Gao Yang suddenly said loudly. ===== CHAPTER 1560 =====
