Chapter 75 True and False
Pushing away the banquet in front of him, Ying Guang stood up and walked into the hall, and bowed to Grum seriously for the first time. Seeing Grum's righteousness, Ying Guang knew that it was time to express his opinion. His life and death depended on whether he could convince this smart Yuezhi head man today.
After the gift, Ying Guang said loudly: "There are two purposes for this mission. One is to send the princess back to the royal city, and the other is to form an alliance with the Yuezhi. Since the Qiang envoy used the alliance as a bet, Ying Guang really had to accept it. Everyone knows that Qin and Yuezhi bordered the Yuezhi, but the war was always constant under the provocation of those who were interested. The solicitors hid behind and developed secretly. Now that the climate has become, they think that the vast grassland can no longer satisfy them. They want to expand but do not want to lose their strength too much, so marriage became the best choice. After the marriage, they can start a war against the Qin Dynasty through the Yuezhi. When the Yuezhi is in a deeper and deeper war, they can easily annex this race."
Ying Guang looked around and finally set his eyes on Su Yi. After a slight pause, Ying Guang continued: "My goal of Qin is the flower world in the Central Plains. He has no intention of touching the vast grassland and cannot manage it. What we need is a reliable ally. The Huns in the north are still eyeing them. Once they find a way to pass the natural danger of the desert, the Grumou people, you Yuezhi can't hide. Now two allies appear in front of you. Should you choose an ally who has no conflict of interest with you, or choose an ally who is beneficial in the short term and will eventually have a battle to form an ally?"
"Papapapapapapapa" The middle-aged man from the Qiang tribe clapped his hands and praised with a smile: "Qin envoy is really eloquent. Even I am almost moved by you, but you ignored one thing. The ancestors of your Great Qin were the grassland people who shed horses. The reason why today's strong Qin is the result of your continuous expansion. Who knows whether you deliberately paralyzed us and then caught us off guard! Everyone knows that your Great Qin soldiers are hard-working and long-distance raids are not difficult. Commander Ying snatched the Yuezhi princess in the hinterland of the grassland and finally fled back to Qin."
Grum's face was gloomy and his eyes flashed, and he had no intention of speaking. Su Yi was like an old monk entering into meditation, unable to see any expression. Ying Guang smiled slightly and said to the middle-aged man: "I'm just curious, when can an outsider actually make the decision for the Qiang tribe? Could it be that the so-called big prince is a puppet?"
The middle-aged man looked solemn and replied seriously: "I don't want to talk nonsense. There are many people who have seen Prince Kunba in this Yuezhi royal city. How could it be a puppet?"
Ying Guang kept his hand in his sleeves without silence, holding his arm but not respecting him. Logically, this was a very defeated move, but Ying Guang just faced the Qiang people like this.
The middle-aged man had even more disdain in his eyes. Ying Guang was also naive. Do he think that humiliating others like this could arouse others' anger? In his opinion, the result was long ago destined that Ying Guang's actions were futile.
Ying Guang suddenly laughed, and the laughter became louder and louder. Grummu's face was still lurking. Su Yi suddenly spoke from the side: "It's probably inappropriate for Qin Envoy to do this."
Ying Guang laughed so hard that he said angrily: "I just suddenly remembered some interesting things and couldn't help it. I was just thinking about why the Qiang prince was severely injured by me. He just took a symbolic revenge on the first day, and then there was no sound. This is obviously not the style of the Qiang people like wild wolf on the battlefield. When I went to the hall today, the severely injured Qiang prince saw that his enemies were still patient. Could it be that the tough Qiang people have become humble gentlemen? If this is the case, what else can we fight? It would be great to find a few experienced old men to go directly to convince people with reason."
Ying Guang put on his clothes and faced Grum again. Seeing Grum nodding to him, he continued, "It was not until just now that I realized that someone did not want to see Qin forming an alliance with any clan. It would inevitably cause war between Qiang, Yuezhi, and Qin, and leave all Qin envoys on the grassland. There are not many countries in the world that can do this. Qin is one, and Zhao and Chu can do it too. However, Zhao is busy dealing with the Huns and has not had time to take care of this. Now Bashu is in turmoil, and Chu is very convenient for Chu to enter Qiang through Shu. Lord Ji, do you think you are right?"
"Hahaha" the middle-aged man laughed happily, as if he heard a funny joke, and the protagonist of the joke had nothing to do with him.
"Do you think you can get rid of it by making up a reason for the empty mouth and white teeth? The eldest prince is sitting here, don't treat everyone in the hall as a fool."
"Is there any? I don't think so." Ying Guang laughed for a while and suddenly said, "It may be difficult to find someone who is exactly the same, but it is easy to find someone with a roughly similar figure and appearance. Unfortunately, my maid also knows a little disguise. As for whether it is true or not, it's okay to try it."
Everyone's eyes focused on Kunba's face. They wanted to see something. Kunba's face was still ashen and she roared: "It's really nonsense. Are you trying to arouse the anger of the entire Qiang clan!"
"Tsk tsk" Ying Guang took a few steps forward and looked at Kunba's face carefully, perfectly, but unfortunately his panicked eyes confirmed Ying Guang's guess.
"I suffered a severe blow and could speak so impatiently in just two days. Lord Ji, it seems that you have put a lot of thought into this puppet. But you must not be so arrogant. Although you have never seen me, I have seen you! The Great Chu Yin Bi, Ji Li!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Grum's eyes suddenly became sharp. Seeing this, Su Yi waved his hand suddenly. His Highness suddenly showed up countless soldiers and surrounded the envoys of the two countries in the middle.
Ji Li looked at the army around him as if nothing was missing, and still maintained his demeanor and asked Ying Guang: "Although I am not talented, I am still quite confident in my ability to recognize people. Apart from your portrait, I never remember where I saw you before. Since I have been seen through, I will admit defeat. Please don't tease me with nonsense. Commander Ying, dare to ask where there is a mistake."
Ying Guang laughed and said, "You are right, we have never seen you. Since I have speculated that you are likely to be from Chu, I just guess it. Even if you are wrong, it doesn't matter. I didn't expect that God would be favored by you and nonsense can make a mistake. However, there is one thing that makes you seem aloof and clean. Although you have a characteristic appearance, if you have enough mutton smell on your body, I won't think about it. There is such an exception in a nation that doesn't take a bath once a year, and I don't think so."
"Hahaha," Ji Li smiled and pointed at Ying Guang and said, "What a cunning boy, do you think you can get out of here? This is just the beginning!" After saying that, his feet were paused, his body suddenly rose, but his fat body was as clever as a harrier. In a blink of an eye, he rushed up to the beam, breaking the roof with Su Yi's roar, and several ups and downs disappeared.
He ignored the trembling Qiang delegation, Ying Guang returned to his seat and sat down. Seeing Grumman looking at him with a smile, Ying Guang bowed and said, "Dear Yuezhi head, can you discuss the issue of alliance between the two countries now?"
