wealthy lord

Chapter 816 makes a shining debut, attracting everyone’s attention

Xiang Chong laughed dumbly and didn't bother to talk to him.

Two hours passed by in a blink of an eye.

The two sides came to Suolongmen for negotiations again.

This time, almost all the top brass of the Chu family were dispatched. There were forty or fifty people, all of whom were in their sixties.

This shows how much King Chu Jiang attaches importance to this negotiation.

It also illustrates the power of the Chu family from the side.

It is said that old men and horses are old and slippery, but these are all elders of the Chu family, and their status is equivalent to the counselors of the Imperial Academy.

With them giving advice to King Chujiang, it is no wonder that Chujiang County is so powerful.

As for Chu Xiang, he was not qualified to sit down this time. He was only qualified to stand behind King Chu Jiang as a bodyguard on this occasion.

King Chu Jiang is already an octogenarian, but he looks energetic and well-maintained. He even looks younger than many elders of the Chu family.

It is said that old people age first, but Chu Xiangyu's old eyes are full of sparkle, not cloudy, but the bags under his eyes are slightly prominent. His silver hair is neatly combed, and he wears a four-clawed dragon robe.

This outfit is full of details, and he doesn't care about revealing his ambition to rebel.

Qi Rui and Xiang Chong Shibao didn't dare to look at him. No one on their side dared to sit down, so they could only stand obediently behind the empty chairs and wait.

At this time, Chu Xiangyu said with a smile: "What? Does the regent dare not meet with me, or is he deliberately neglecting me? We agreed to meet with Shen Shi, why didn't he come out yet?"

Qi Rui and the other three looked at each other, and he forced a smile: "Reporting to the prince, the capital is more than a hundred miles away from Tongshan Pass. It is estimated that the regent and the others are already on the way. Please wait a moment!"

Chu Xiang snorted angrily: "He, the regent, is so proud, how dare he keep my father waiting for a long time? He doesn't even understand the most basic diplomatic etiquette, and he is simply unworthy of his position! I see the imperial court falling into the hands of such a person, This is the beginning of decline!”

As soon as these words came out, all the senior leaders of the Chu family burst into laughter, and they all looked at Qi Rui and the other three people, as well as the Shenji Battalion generals gathered behind them, with mocking expressions.

Shi Bao was furious and raised his hand to point at Chu Xiang and scold him, but was grabbed by Xiang Chong.

"General Shi, don't fall for the trap! The other party is obviously trying to anger us! If you can't help it, you can spit it out quickly, but if it ruins the regent's important matter, you have a hundred heads, and you won't be able to chop it off!"

Shi Bao clenched his back molars, and one hand had already tightened the bamboo gun at his waist.

Xiang Chong saw this and sighed inwardly that Shi Bao was really a reckless man. Although he was good at literature and martial arts, he was impulsive at critical moments and would suffer big losses sooner or later.

At this time, Qi Rui said with a smile: "Why do you have to speak so harshly, Your Highness! What do you call diplomatic etiquette? That is the relationship between the two countries, which can be called diplomacy! Your Chujiang County is just a gift from the imperial court. What’s the point of diplomacy with your Chu family’s back cover?”

"you…"

Chu Xiang was suddenly speechless and turned pale with anger.

The top brass of the Chu family also had their displeasure written on their faces. If they had not known that Lin Yun was not easy to mess with, the Chu family would have declared war long ago.

Is there any need to negotiate here?

Chu Xiangyu praised: "Little guy, what's your name? You're not old, but your tone is quite good!"

Qi Rui clasped his fists and smiled: "The lower official Qi Rui is just the commander of the imperial bodyguards! This makes King Chu Jiang laugh!"

Chu Xiangyu raised an eyebrow: "Qi Rui? Is that old boy Qi Changyun your father?"

Qi Rui looked embarrassed. His father was so old, but he was called an old boy?
It is estimated that King Chu Jiang is the only one who has such a big tone.

After all, he is an old man in his eighties. When he followed the late emperor to conquer the world, his father was indeed a young boy.

Thinking of this, Qi Rui not only didn't get angry, but actually smiled even brighter.

"Exactly!" "Hey, I said that I had a good relationship with your father back then! Thirty years have passed in a flash! Are you interested in coming to my Chu family, Qi Xiaoyou? Just based on what you just said, I can make an exception Promote you to be a general!"

Just as Qi Rui was about to speak, a burst of hearty laughter suddenly came from the stone door on one side.

"Haha! King Chu Jiang, are you being a little unkind by poaching me in front of me?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes lit up and they looked at the stone door on one side.

When Qi Rui and others recognized Lin Yun's voice, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Especially Qi Rui, he was under tremendous pressure just now. If Lin Yun didn't come again, he would be unable to hold on any longer.

Once the Chu family loses patience and chooses to take action, the consequences will be disastrous.

Chu Xiangyu narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the stone door.

There were many figures inside the stone gate, and the sound of footsteps could be vaguely heard.

Soon, Lin Yun was the first to come out, smiling calmly, exuding a sense of nobility, and looking down on the world in his eyes.

Behind him were Fulin'an and Qi Changyun. The two elders had majestic faces. They were each wearing official robes and had equally strong auras.

After that are the elite private troops of Niubei Village led by Zheng Li and Du Sheng.

The weapons in their hands were covered with a layer of black cloth, so outsiders couldn't tell what they were.

But they were all elite soldiers led by President Asan. They had participated in almost all the battles between Lin Yun and the Lin family back then, and they had quite a lot of actual combat experience.

Qi Rui and the other two men led the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion to immediately bow down and worship.

"See Prince Regent!"

Lin Yun quickly passed them and just waved his hand casually.

"stand up!"

After that, he sat on the chair opposite King Chu Jiang.

Now that everyone had a backbone, they immediately gathered behind Lin Yun.

At this time, Chu Xiangyu took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Prince Regent Lin Yun, right? He is indeed a hero from a young age! I didn't expect that at such a young age, he could do what I have never done in my life! I admire you!"

Lin Yun said playfully: "Admired? Is the prince jealous?"

Chu Xiang was furious and cursed: "Lin Yun, who do you think you are? How dare you speak to my father like this?"

Lin Yun licked his ears and said impatiently: "It's really noisy! King Chu Jiang, you are also considered a hero, why are the two sons you raised so stupid?"

Chu Xiangyu's face was livid, and he turned back to glare at his unsatisfied eldest son.

Chu Xiang looked guilty and lowered his head in embarrassment, not daring to look at his father at all.

At this time, Chu Xiangyu said in a deep voice: "The regent is indeed excellent, but you must at least know how to respect your elders, right? I am already very old, and I have been waiting here for nearly half an hour. Don't you think it is too much? "

Except for Chu Xiang, almost all the people who can stand here are human beings. After hearing Chu Xiangyu's words, they all secretly praised him.

One sentence not only defused Lin Yun's attack, but also pointed the finger at Lin Yun.

This may seem like a fuss over a trivial matter, but when faced with a narrow road, the brave wins. In this situation, even if you are at the slightest disadvantage, it will have far-reaching consequences and may even determine the outcome of the negotiation.

Lin Yun smiled contemptuously, with a murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
