Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 208 Sky Moon Sword

"I have traveled thousands of miles to your country, and specially offered you the fragrant tea that is rich in the Central Plains. I hope that the two countries will form an alliance forever!"

Li Si cupped his hands, with a smile on his face.

But Li Si's kindness was not accepted by Ji Zhunxin.

A few days ago, King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu also came to Jizhun Korea, offering gold, silver and jewels, and asking Jizhun to agree to the Xiongnu and fight against Qin.

Jizhun had always been at odds with the Central Plains, and Yan Guo drove them out of the Liaodong Peninsula, so Jizhun naturally agreed.

When facing the envoys of the Great Qin Dynasty, Ji Zhun treated them with arrogance and arrogance.

Inside the hall, there is also a strong smell of gunpowder, and any sharp words will set the entire hall on fire.

Li Si saw that Ji Zhun's attitude was cold, and there was a hint of ferocity in his eyes, and he said coldly: "Why, is this the way of hospitality in your country?"

All the officials didn't dare to speak too much, they didn't dare to touch Wang Wei, which would lead to death, so they could only hang their heads in silence.

Facing Li Si's questioning, Ji Zhun did not panic, but was extremely calm.

Ji Zhun is in a corner, he doesn't think about making progress, and he never crossed the Yalu River to see the grand occasion of Daqin, otherwise he would not dare to neglect Li Si if you lend him ten courage.

Jizhun is very confident, but this confidence can be interpreted as the fearlessness of the ignorant.

It is precisely because of ignorance that he thinks that he is a kingdom of heaven, with abundant products and everything. He didn't use catkins to find out what he had, but he was finally killed by Weiman, a Yanren.

Ji Zhun smiled coldly: "I have heard for a long time that your country likes reciprocity, but this tea has already been delivered in advance. We don't like to drink two flavors of tea!"

Li Si's eyes were fixed, and he said lightly: "Do you want to reject the king of Joseon?"

Ji Zhun didn't nod, but ordered someone to pour the silver shuttle on the top of the snow, and took a sip.

Although he didn't directly refuse, this kind of ignorance and contempt told Li Si that North Korea had joined forces with the Huns to fight against the Great Qin, and would not accept any gifts from the empire.

Li Si's face was gloomy, the majestic prime minister of a country, being so neglected, isn't it a declaration of war?
However, Li Si had an important mission. As an envoy, the purpose of this trip was to subdue the enemy without fighting, so that the Joseon Dynasty was afraid and afraid to fight against the Central Plains.

Before Li Si could add anything, Ji Zhun said first, "I'm afraid the envoy may have misunderstood the king's meaning. When the two countries started a war, I should have crossed the river to cross the border. However, the Huns envoy visited the king a few days ago and offered hundreds of war horses." horses, [-] horses each for cattle and sheep, we are too embarrassed to refuse."

After all, Jizhun showed a greedy attitude, implying that the Xiongnu gave enough benefits, and our country has no reason to refuse. If Daqin gives enough benefits, I can think about it again.

Li Si smiled lightly, he had always been good at observing words and expressions, he saw through the other side of Ji Zhun.

Human nature is greedy. If two people give benefits at the same time, one will offer ten gold and the other fifteen gold, and they will both be willing to help the latter.

And Daqin has a vast land and resources, what is there?
As long as Ji Zhun agrees, Li Si, as Prime Minister Zuo, can fight for the best interests with Ji Zhun and satisfy Ji Zhun's appetite.

Li Si opened his mouth slowly, with joy on his face, and said with a smile: "The minister came to your country on purpose, so naturally he not only offered fragrant tea, but also specially brought a magic weapon."

"Oh!" Ji Zhun became interested, and Li Si immediately clapped his hands and ordered the envoys to bring out an exquisite wooden box.

All the officials looked curiously at the wooden box.

The wooden box was engraved with patterns of cloud beasts and jade dragons, and even the chains were engraved with green dragons. Jizhun was deeply attracted by it just by its appearance, and asked, "What is this thing?"

Li Si said: "This sword is called Tianyue Sword, and its sword god pattern is like a river rushing, endless!"

Opening the wooden box, a sword light flashed, making Ji Zhun salivate, Ji Zhun got up suddenly, walked over to the wooden box and glanced away, with an envious look on his face.

"This sword is sharp and top-notch, comparable to His Majesty's King of Yue Sword. Now I specially present the famous sword, and Daqin hopes that the two countries will form an alliance forever!"

Wen Yanjizhun frowned, the smile on his face gradually faded, and he said calmly, "A sword can be inferior to cutting iron like mud?"

"How do I know whether this sword is real or fake? Is it really as sharp as the sword? It cuts through iron like clay and is as sharp as the sword."

Li Si's face sank like water, and he said slowly: "There is a saber hanging from Jizhun's waist. I have been watching it for a long time, but unfortunately it can only be ranked third, and cannot be compared with Tianyue sword!"

As soon as these words came out, a pot exploded in the hall.

The sword worn by Jizhun was specially presented by Weiman from Yan. It is a hundred times sharper than all the swords in Jizhun, so it can be called third-class?

Ji Zhun's face was solemn and pale, and he said viciously: "Bold!"

"This was specially presented by General Wei Man of the Yan Kingdom. It is far sharper than any sword in the dynasty, and it only ranks third. It's ridiculous!"

Everyone in the hall laughed contemptuously, thinking that Li Si was arrogant.

But Li Si held up the Tianyue sword with both hands, and said sincerely, "Since Ji Zhun is so confident, why not try it out, two swords confront each other, and the winner will go to Ji Zhun."

Ji Zhun slapped the wooden table and said loudly: "That's it!"

Regardless of winning or losing, Jizhun can get a sword, anyway, it's not a loss, why not do it?
But if Li Si lost, he was deceiving me, so I didn't want to associate with Qin.

In full view of everyone, Ji Zhun swung his long sword and struck Tian Yuejian hard.

Just when all the officials in the court thought that the Tianyue Sword was about to be cut off, Li Si showed a dark smile.

The Tianyue sword was placed on a support, but it was in an arched structure to strengthen its load bearing.

It's a pity that none of the Joseon Dynasty knew physics, and the arched structure was more stable. Even if the sword in Jizhun's hand was sharp, it could not resist the arched structure of the Cheonwol Sword.

Jizhun, this is the loss of being uneducated.

Stab it!

After the loud noise, the long sword in Jizhun's hand was cut off, but the Tianyue sword was intact, which made Jizhun dumbfounded, and the civil and military officials in the court were terrified, and their eyes widened.

The king's saber was broken like this?Is Daqin's Tianyue Sword really a magic weapon?

The haze swept across Ji Zhun's face, and a faint smile appeared on his face, and he said lightly: "The envoy of the Great Qin Dynasty will not deceive me!"

"I thought the sword sent by Wei Man was sharp enough, but I didn't expect that the envoy's Sky Moon Sword was even better."

"The king of Saber reluctantly accepts it!"

Although Ji Zhun accepted the sword, he never mentioned the alliance, and Li Si hesitated when he asked him.

A mere Tianyue Sword is not enough to buy Ji Zhun's heart.

Li Si added: "A mere Tianyue sword is nothing compared to the friendship with Jizhun. I not only sent the Tianyue sword, but also specially sent a big gift!"

Ji Zhun couldn't suppress the smile on his face, he actually laughed heartily, and Li Si also smiled slightly, Ji Zhun loves vanity, if he gives enough benefits, he can shake Ji Zhun.

Therefore, Li Si said solemnly: "I specially offered five bloody horses. One of these horses can beat a hundred horses of the Xiongnu. Don't refuse!"

Ji Zhun had been happy for a long time, how could he refuse?
Li Si smiled knowingly, and explained the purpose of this meeting: "May I go to Daqin with you, Your Majesty, to see the majesty of the Heavenly Kingdom?"
