Invincible at the beginning: I seek the world in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 110, Prayer Hall Meeting

The Western Chu Mission sent an old man named Wu Quan to follow Chen Bangzhou to the Temple of Praying for Fragrance to discuss the alliance.

Kang Wenyao and Huang Mengjue accompanied Chen Bangzhou.

Jiang Wangsheng arrived at the Temple of Prayer for Fragrance ahead of time, met with the Dali Temple personnel who were ambushing around, explained the possible events and details of the meeting, and let them escape.

"senior."

"What's wrong?" The left-handed sword suddenly appeared.

Jiang Wangsheng said: "You should have seen the people in Dali Temple. If there is a conflict, I will be on the prime minister's side. I hope you can protect the people in Dali Temple."

"Don't worry, leave it to me." After the left-handed sword said, it was hidden in the darkness again.

In order to guarantee Xichu's reputation, the mission specially collected money and prepared a brand new carriage for Chen Bangzhou, driven by Kang Wenyao, and slowly arrived at the Temple of Praying for Fragrance.

Jiang Wangsheng stepped forward, and after Chen Bangzhou got off the car, he said in a low voice, "Within five miles, there are plum blossom guards."

Chen Bangzhou nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: "When I just came, there was an outpost patrolling and inspecting. They are all from the Empress."

"Will the Empress come too?"

Chen Bangzhou nodded with a solemn expression, "A combat corps of that size will only appear when the empress is out of the palace."

Chen Bangzhou continued: "The female emperor's personal guard, Bi Yuntian, ranks No. 16 in the 72th rank martial artist in the Tianbang, good at oil paper umbrella dance, and the [-] skeletons are all sharp swords. When dancing, the sword energy is all over the sky."

"Also, the handle of the umbrella is a famous sword. It was once used by the sword armor old man, and the sword's intent is stirring." Chen Bangzhou continued.

"Pinch with your hands." Jiang Wangsheng said to himself, and then subconsciously glanced at Huang Mengjue.

Huang Mengjue smiled lightly, as agile as the Dingdong stream in the mountains.

When Jiang Wangsheng saw this, it was as if a delicate fragrance penetrated into his body, which was extremely refreshing.

"Respectfully invite Prime Minister Chen Bangzhou of Western Chu to enter the palace." An eunuch shouted loudly, and then eight identical voices resounded through the entire Qixiang Temple.

Chen Bangzhou said seriously: "Let's go."

"Yes."

Chen Bangzhou took the lead, accompanied by Wu Quan, Jiang Wangsheng, Huang Mengjue, and Kang Wenyao followed.

Five people stepped into the heavily guarded Temple of Praying for Fragrance.

In the Temple of Praying for Fragrance, a golden phoenix sits on a flying throne, sitting on a woman with black hair and slightly weathered wrinkles on her face.

"A minister of Western Chu, Chen Bangzhou, pays homage to His Majesty the Southern Tang Dynasty."

The empress smiled, and said hastily: "I heard that Prime Minister Chen said in Western Chu that he would not kneel down and perform half a salute when he saw the emperor. I have admired Prime Minister Chen for a long time, so there is no need to salute."

"Meet Your Majesty." The other four knelt down and saluted.

"Freedom of courtesy." The empress said loudly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Jiang Wangsheng began to look at the veiled woman next to the empress, and thought to himself: "She should be the empress who personally guards Biyuntian and her umbrella? Huh? Her clothes."

On the left and right sides of the hall, the courtiers of the Luantai Fengge sat separately. One of the middle-aged men only glanced at Chen Bangzhou, and his eyes kept falling on Jiang Wangsheng.

Jiang Wangsheng noticed something, turned his head and glanced at him.

The two looked at each other, and Jiang Wangsheng probably guessed that he was Xia Nanyuan's father - Xia Chongshan.

"Prime Minister Chen, please take a seat," said the Empress.

Chen Bangzhou sat facing east, and everyone stood beside him.

The empress glanced at the crowd behind Chen Bangzhou, and finally stared at Jiang Wangsheng, whispered a few words to the empress' personal guard beside her, and asked her to step back for now.

The empress cleared her throat, and said, "Prime Minister Chen has traveled thousands of miles to come to Nantang, what do you think of the scenery along the way?"

Chen Bangzhou replied with a smile: "Zhong Ling is beautiful, outstanding people, and natural treasures. It is really a rare treasure in the world."

"How is it better than you, Xichu?" the empress asked.

Chen Bangzhou replied: "My Western Chu Mountain is steep, and it is the most beautiful scenery in the world. It can be called the yang of Tai Chi, so fierce. The scenery of the Southern Tang Dynasty is like a brocade, which can be called the yin of Tai Chi, soft and soft."

The empress smiled slightly, "It seems that the cooperation between our two countries is the right time, place and people."

"Your Majesty's words are very true." Chen Bangzhou cupped his hands.

"The few lovers present here are all my confidantes, if you have any insight, feel free to speak up." The empress waved her hand.

"Luantai, Xia Chongshan." The middle-aged man in dark brocade got up and nodded to Chen Bangzhou in salute.

"Feng Pavilion, Sun Qian"

"Luantai, Shangguanteng"

"Luantai, Huang Jialin."

Chen Bangzhou nodded back one by one.

Sun Qian said: "Prime Minister Chen is very resourceful and resourceful. What do you think of Beili's attack?"

Chen Bangzhou waved his feather fan and replied unhurriedly: "Beili is powerful, the army of tigers and wolves is invincible, and with the help of Beili Jianghu, it is difficult for any country to compete with it."

"This statement is wrong." Shangguan Teng said, then looked at the Empress, and said, "Your Majesty, the Beili infantry is indeed brave, but if it is a battle on water, it may not be as good as my Southern Tang's sea-covering dragon army."

Chen Bangzhou said with a smile: "North Tang has natural barriers to rely on, but with Beili's national strength, it is easy to build a strong sailor quickly."

Sun Qian asked, "Why did Prime Minister Chen say that?"

"Beili's Huben Army must have been heard by everyone. An army composed of strange people and strange things from all corners of the country, not to mention the great rivers and natural moats, even the Shu Road above the blue sky, they will get better." Chen Bangzhou replied.

Chen Bangzhou continued: "This is just one of their sharpest swords. The mighty heavenly army of Spear Fairy Tongyuan, the Nanjiao Army of King Zhennan who has both water and roads, and the million-strong army under the command of Emperor Beili Tianwu."

The empress nodded slightly, "Beili is not something that a country can compete with."

Shangguan Teng said: "If it is an alliance, how should Prime Minister Chen deploy the battle against Beili?"

"In my opinion, attack more to break their advantage in large-scale combat; cooperate with powerful warriors to fight more and less to eliminate their tiger army." Chen Bangzhou said calmly.

Sun Qian's eyes lit up, "This is indeed the best strategy."

Shangguan Teng said: "As far as I know, your territory of thousands of miles in the north of Western Chu is still under the minions of Beili, and Tianwang City, the imperial capital, may be attacked at any time."

"Don't worry, everyone. When the time is right, the northern territory of thousands of miles can be quickly taken back." Chen Bangzhou replied.

Before several people continued to attack, Chen Bangzhou spoke first: "Your Majesty, I also know a thing or two about the situation in the Southern Tang Dynasty. Although the national power is strong, but internal disharmony makes it impossible to devote all our strength."

The empress stared.

Chen Bangzhou said: "Alliance with Western Chu, apart from military cooperation, the two sides can cooperate economically and politically."

"Political cooperation? I don't understand what Prime Minister Chen means." The empress said leisurely.

Chen Bangzhou replied with a smile: "What His Majesty is worried about is nothing but the division of Confucianism and Taoism, and the struggle for royal orthodoxy."

"good."

Chen Bangzhou said: "The Confucian and Taoist academies and the Confucian school are like fire and water. Although they can be resolved, they are messy and can't be stopped. And the royal family's orthodox dispute."

The empress subconsciously leaned forward slightly, waiting for Chen Bangzhou's wise opinion.

Chen Bangzhou said: "Only when we have the same goal can we cooperate. Only in cooperation can we eliminate the rift and the best policy."

The empress sighed in her heart, and said: "From what I see, cooperation will benefit both, and separation will harm both. However, the Chinese, Chinese and military officials in the court disagree and fight endlessly. As a king, I should know how to advise."

"Leave everything to me, and His Majesty will definitely not be disappointed." Chen Bangzhou said confidently.

"it is good."

The empress paused, then looked at Jiang Wangsheng, "I heard that this young man is the youngest innate master in the world today."

"Not bad." Chen Bangzhou answered for him first.

Jiang Wangsheng only opened his mouth.

The Empress smiled and asked: "What is your age, have you ever been married?"

"No." Chen Bangzhou continued to answer for him.

The empress looked at Xia Chongshan intentionally or unintentionally, and said, "Young man, I am a gentle and smart girl from the Southern Tang Dynasty. If you stay for a while, maybe you can find a good relationship."

Jiang Wangsheng said helplessly, "Follow Your Majesty's orders."
