Practicing from the Taoist

Chapter 202 Two Purposes
Xu Jin was sitting in a large tent, and the curtain of the tent was lifted, so that he could clearly see the envoys of Qi State led by the envoy surnamed Qi, coming towards this side step by step.

Not long after, the envoy of the State of Qi came to the front of the big tent, and then stopped. The master of Jiming realm from the State of Qi who was walking in the front looked at Xu Jin who was sitting in the big tent, and naturally He bowed slightly forward and saluted.

"Yan Jian, the envoy of Qi State, has met Xu Bingzhu!"

The other party saluted very simply, and he didn't feel any embarrassment at all because his cultivation base was higher than Xu Jin in front of him. Seeing the other party like this, Xu Jin made a gesture of invitation to the other party, and then said.

"Please take your seat!"

"Thank you Bingzhu Xu!"

Hearing Xu Jin's words, the Qi State envoy named Yan Jian didn't show any hypocrisy. He strode directly into the tent and sat down at an empty table beside him. to the other side.

After the other party was seated, Xu Jin asked directly to the other party: "What is the so-called messenger coming today?"

Hearing Xu Jin's question, Yan Jian immediately showed a very gentle smile. The other person's face is rounded, it doesn't look particularly handsome, but it makes people feel very harmless. Now when he smiles, It makes people feel an inexplicable affinity.

"I'm here today to represent my country, Qi, to express my respect to Bingzhu Xu, and to prepare a small gift, and please accept it, Bingzhu Xu. This is the list of gifts!"

As Yan Jian was talking, his attitude seemed to be more respectful, and he turned his palms, took out a gift list, raised his hand slightly and waved forward, and sent the gift list to the priest surnamed Qi.

Seeing the gift list floating in front of him, the priest surnamed Qi reached out to catch it, looked down at the content recorded on it, and couldn't help but look up at Yan Jian again, and then sent the gift list to Xu Jin.

Noticing the reaction of the priest surnamed Qi just now, Xu Jin knew that the gift from the Qi State might be of great value. When he saw the contents on the list, he couldn't help but feel a little moved.

"Star crystal, cold soul stone, empty jade lotus... Good guy, this gift from Qi State is really not light!"

Looking at the things on the list, Xu Jin found that they were all very rare spiritual materials. In her old small space, there were only one or two materials of this level, and they had just begun to be cultivated. There was no way of value. on a par.

"Your country sent such a precious gift, I don't know what to ask for?"

Xu Jin put down the gift list in her hand, looked at Yan Jian, and asked him.

As the saying goes, being courteous to others, one must ask for something. Since the State of Qi has brought out so many precious things, it must have its own purpose. Xu Jin is going to hear what the purpose of the State of Qi is.

Hearing Xu Jin's question, Yan Jian stood up directly, the smile on his face became more kind, and he said to Xu Jin.

"Master Xu, don't get me wrong. We came today for a purpose, but these gifts have nothing to do with our purpose. Sending these things is simply to express our admiration for Master Xu!"

"Among all the countries, Bingzhu Xu is the only one who became a Bingzhu in the body of a Daoist soldier. The State of Qi began to pay attention to Bingzhu Xu very early on. He also has some experience of Bingzhu Xu's growth all the way up to now. I understand, so I have great admiration for Bingzhu Xu, our country of Qi has always respected talents, and I ask Bingzhu Xu to accept these gifts!"

After listening to Yan Jian's words, Xu Jin frowned slightly. The other party's words were really nice. Such a precious gift was just about to be given to herself, and it was such a compliment, even if she knew it The other party is deliberately showing favor, and I am afraid that ordinary people will not be completely indifferent to such sugar-coated bullets.

However, there has never been a free lunch in this world, and the other party's seemingly undemanding gift may not be so easy to get.

At that moment, Xu Jin continued to speak: "I have received the envoy's intentions, but I can't afford such a high praise, because I still have self-knowledge, and now my cultivation is not as good as the envoy's." Why don't the envoys talk about today's purpose!"

Hearing what Xu Jin said, the smile on Yan Jian's face faded slightly, and then he spoke.

"I came to see Bingzhu Xu today. There are two things in total. Of course, it may be just one thing!"

At this point, Yan Jian's voice stopped, his eyes were fixed on Xu Jin, and he continued to speak after receiving Xu Jin's nod.

"Xu Bingzhu has grown up all the way so far, which is very admirable. Now he has the foundation of Gujiu. After the demise of the Chen Kingdom, he can still stand tall and resist the Jing Kingdom's attack many times. Yesterday's battle is even more impressive. I have seen with my own eyes how powerful Bingzhu Xu is!"

"As far as I know, before the death of Chen Guo, Bingzhu Xu was not in power in Chen Guo. He made a lot of contributions, but he didn't get many rewards. Even the normal supply of materials was a problem. With all due respect, Chen Guo doesn't really value Bingzhu Xu very much!"

"My country Qi was originally not as powerful as the country of Chen, but now we have occupied the land that originally belonged to the country of Chen. Except for some reasons that are not convenient to say, the reason why our country can occupy this land is because of our monarch. Above all, I value Bingzhu Xu as such a talent and dare to reuse and promote him, so I come here to invite Bingzhu Xu to join Qi Kingdom on behalf of Qi State!"

Having said that, Yan Jian glanced around quickly, paying attention to the reactions of the people around him.

He saw that after he had finished speaking, the priest surnamed Qi's face had turned ugly, and there was obvious hostility in his gaze, and his gaze was still secretly observing Xu Jin.

As for Xu Jin who was sitting there, his expression was very calm at this time, as if he was not moved by his words at all. Seeing this scene, Yan Jian's eyes flashed, and then he took two steps forward and stood at Xu Jin's door. At Jin's desk, he bowed deeply to Xu Jin and continued to speak.

"My country's monarch promises that if Bingzhu Xu is willing to join our country of Qi, the soldiers under Bingzhu Xu will not move at all. They will still be led by Bingzhu Xu, and the land with a radius of [-] miles will be handed over to Gujiu as the center. Bingzhu Xu, the spiritual materials on the gift list just now are supplied every year, and the quantity will only be more than the one brought this time, and I, Lord Qi, will give Bingzhu Xu the position of a general!"

As his words fell, the people who came together reached out and opened the wooden box in their hands at the same time. Immediately, streaks of spiritual light emanated from the wooden box, and all the various spiritual materials contained in it were displayed to everyone. In front of him, the big tent will be filled with colorful lights for a while.

"This guy, did he choose to bring some spiritual materials here because the surface of these spiritual materials emits spiritual light, just for this!"

Looking at the colorful aura, the priest surnamed Qi was shocked by this scene for an instant, but Xu Jin suddenly thought strangely when he saw the scene in front of him.

This envoy from the State of Qi named Yan Jian is indeed a talent. He can keep his posture very low, and he does not have the airs of a master of the Jiming realm. Since meeting Xu Jin, his attitude has always been very respectful, and he has always Praise Xu Jin to a higher place.

Moreover, the appearance and temperament of the other party are very harmless, and there is an invisible affinity, which can make people let go of their defenses a little bit.

Such a person may not be particularly outstanding in the same realm in terms of strength, but his means are definitely not too bad. Okay, I want to impress Xu Jin with this.

Otherwise, even though the spiritual materials in front of him are precious enough, the knowledge of enshrining with the surname of Qi would not move him too much.

"It turned out that I came here to surrender. The conditions sound very good. I have to think about it carefully. I can't sell myself easily. Why don't the envoys talk about another thing!"

Xu Jin looked at Yan Jian, nodded to him with a smile, and did not immediately agree or refuse, but asked him to talk about the second thing.

Hearing Xu Jin's words, a look of disappointment flashed in Yan Jian's eyes. Xu Jin did not give him the answer he was most looking forward to. Of course, this was also within his expectation. After all, Xu Jin was the victor in yesterday's battle, and As a person from the defeated side, he came to recruit people from the victorious side. Thinking about it, he knew it was not that easy.

"I was thinking of being lazy at first. If Bingzhu Xu directly agreed to join the Qi Kingdom, there would be no need to talk about the second matter. Since Bingzhu Xu can't make a decision for a while, then I will talk about the second thing!"

A smile appeared on Yan Jian's face again, then he shook his head slightly pretending to be regretful, and spoke again.

After finishing speaking, the expression on Yan Jian's face became serious, he stepped back a little, and then spoke.

"Yesterday, in the battle with Bingzhu Xu, Bingzhu Xu's strength is admirable. Our Qi army is difficult to match for a while, so we can only retreat temporarily. However, after the first battle, I believe Bingzhu Xu has a certain effect on the strength of our Qi army. I understand, even though they may be inferior to the Taoist soldiers under Bingzhu Xu, they are not easily defeated soldiers!"

"Recently, the situation in various countries has been quite turbulent, not only around Qi and Jing, but also in the whole world, there have been some frictions among many vassal states. Under such circumstances, it really shouldn't be with Xu Bing at this time. Therefore, the second purpose of coming here today is to reach an agreement with Bingzhu Xu!"

"The State of Qi hopes that the two sides will live in peace and non-aggression against each other for the time being. If necessary, there can be some trade exchanges. Do you agree to such an agreement, Bingzhu Xu?"

After listening to Yan Jian's words, Xu Jin's expression became a little weird. He stared at Yan Jian and asked him directly.

"Are you worried that after completely occupying the land of Chen State, it will border Jing State next? You are worried that with such a powerful neighbor, there will be constant conflicts in the future, so you deliberately want to keep Gu Jiu as a buffer zone. ?”

Yan Jian, who seemed very kind, couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth slightly after hearing such a naked question from Xu Jin.

"Bingzhu Xu is very considerate. All the virtuous ministers in our country have not had time to think like this. After I go back, I will tell them what Bingzhu Xu said just now. I believe it will inspire them!"

After stabilizing his expression, Yan Jian finally answered like this, trying to answer Xu Jin's question as decently as possible.

After listening to the other party's answer, Xu Jin couldn't deny it. He knew that the Qi State had definitely considered his question just now. After all, the Qi State before was famous for being cautious. Every possibility will be considered as much as possible, and it is impossible to ignore such problems.

Leaving this issue aside, the proposal Yan Jian just mentioned is extremely beneficial to Gu Jiu at present. If Qi State does not attack Gu Jiu for the time being, in a short time, what Gu Jiu needs to consider is the attack from the scene. The country is threatened, and Jing Guo and Yi Guo are still fighting, Xu Jin is not particularly stressed to deal with it.

Of course, this agreement is not without benefits for the State of Qi. If they don’t fight Xu Jin, the power of the State of Qi will not need to be consumed for the time being. Moreover, they have just occupied the territory of the State of Chen, and it is time to digest it. With Xu Jin's interference, they can quickly digest these lands and transform them into real national power.

Thinking about this quickly in her heart, Xu Jin was silent for a while, and the priest surnamed Qi was also thinking about it and did not speak. Seeing this, Yan Jian might feel that the atmosphere was too dull, so he spoke again.

"This agreement, I believe, is beneficial to both of us, and from the current point of view, it is obviously more beneficial to Bingzhu Xu. Chen Guo is gone, and Bingzhu Xu's persistence is now the remaining banner of Chen Guo , Many of the remaining talents in the Chen Kingdom are waiting to see Gujiu. If there is no war in Gujiu, I believe these talents will be happy to come to Gujiu. At that time, the strength of Xu Bingzhu will be strengthened quickly, so Why not do it!"

"Master Xu Bing has practiced so far. In fact, it has not been long. Now that his cultivation base has reached the realm of crossing the deep and stable, Master Xu Bing can spare more time to practice. Maybe it won't be long. The strength of Bing Master Xu At that time, this agreement between the two parties may exist for a long time, actually think about it, the land of the smallest vassal state in the world seems to be no bigger than Gujiu City!"

Yan Jian is undoubtedly a qualified lobbyist, his words are well-founded, and full of a sense of bewitchment, especially his last sentence, which painted a very bright future for Xu Jinbiao, and it was only a hint Xu Jin, Gu Jiu can build a country in the future!

After listening to his words, Xu Jin not only was not moved by him, but became more vigilant in her heart. The other party seemed to be more eager to facilitate something so obviously beneficial to her side. , the other party may have a deeper purpose.
