"Xiang Yan, your Majesty is hosting a banquet in the palace today to welcome the return of the Prime Minister's envoy Chu..."

As soon as Xia Pingan opened his eyes, he saw a eunuch leading the way beside him, talking to himself as he walked. The two of them were walking in the corridor, surrounded by palace guards. Ahead, a palace had appeared in front of him.

Become Yanzi again!

Xia Ping'an was already very familiar with Qi's palace. He knew that the person waiting for him in the palace at this moment was Qi Jinggong.

"Who is coming to the banquet today?" Xia Pingan asked as he walked.

"Xiang Yan, those who came to the banquet today are all the important officials of the court invited by the king. All the dignitaries from Linzi are already there. Da Sixing, Da Sitian, Da Sima, Da Sili, and Da Jianguan are all here. There are also three close associates of His Majesty, Gongsun Jie, Tian Kaijiang, and Guyezi..."

"Oh, I understand..." Xia Pingan responded calmly.

Is it really because these three people who Er Tao killed and San Shi killed because they slighted Yan Zi that Yan Zi became murderous? If Qi Jinggong hadn't acquiesced in wanting to get rid of these three people, how could Qi Jinggong have lost his mind and wanted to kill these three people based on Yan Zi's few words.

Qi Jinggong seemed harmless, but since he succeeded to the throne, he killed Cui Shu, then Qingfeng, and now he killed Gongsun Jie, Tian Kaijiang, and Guyezi. With this step by step killing, Qi State's The power was slowly and completely concentrated in the hands of Qi Jinggong. It is impossible to say that everything is a coincidence.

Behind Gongsun Jie, Tian Kaijiang, and Guyezi are all deep-rooted big families and groups of scholar-bureaucrats in Qi State. Let’s not talk about anything else. Let’s just say that Tian Kaijiang is from the Tian family. This is Qi Jinggong’s powerful family in Qi State. Despite the suppression by the family and scholar-bureaucrat forces, later, after Qi Jinggong, the Tian family still usurped Qi State. It can only be said that these stubborn families and scholar-bureaucrat forces in Qi State pose a threat to the Jiang family's regime. There were already signs, and Qi Jinggong had already seen the signs, so he used Yanzi's strategy to get rid of Gongsun Jie, Tian Kaijiang, and Guyezi.

"Those who can enter and exit the most prosperous palace in the world are foxes with thousands of years of age..." Xia Pingan looked at the tall palace beside him and muttered secretly in his heart.

As Xia Pingan walked to the door of the palace, a chamberlain standing at the door of the palace shouted at the top of his voice, "Xiang Yan is here..."

In that voice, Xia Ping'an crossed the threshold of the palace and entered the palace.

Sure enough, many people had gathered in the hall. Qi Jinggong's seat was still empty. Qi Jinggong hadn't arrived yet. On both sides of the hall, there were tables and cases. The dignitaries of Qi State who were attending the banquet were sitting behind the tables. .

Yanzi was not late, so the food had not been served in the palace, and everyone who came to the banquet was just chatting quietly.

Yan Zi was the prime minister at the moment. He had just made a meritorious mission to the state of Chu. When he saw Xia Pingan walking in, those who had come to the banquet and were sitting behind the tables all stood up quickly, not daring to show off, and asked Xia Pingan one after another. During the ceremony, almost no one sat down.

"I met Yan Xiang..."

"Prime Minister Yan was sent as an envoy to Chu State, and his hard work has made great achievements..."

What Xia Pingan saw were smiling faces and greetings, and everyone's attitude was very respectful to him.

Xia Pingan also walked quickly and nodded in response.

Almost everyone stood up except three people.

They were three big men who looked strong and powerful at first glance. They were sitting in the middle of the hall. When Xia Pingan passed by them, they were still sitting behind the table, talking and laughing with each other, and just glanced at Xia Pingan. , didn’t even have the intention to stand up.

Xia Pingan calmly walked past the three of them, then came to sit down in front of the table and waited for Qi Jinggong to arrive.

After a while, with the sound of "The King has arrived," everyone in the hall stood up. Qi Jinggong came to the throne of the hall with a smile on his face and a leisurely pace.

"I have met the king!" Everyone in the hall saluted Qi Jinggong.

"My dear friends, please excuse me. Today's banquet is for Prime Minister Yan. Prime Minister Yan is on an envoy to the Chu State and has made great contributions. I suggest that you all offer a glass of wine to Prime Minister Yan..." Qi Jinggong looked at Xia Pingan and said, followed by Qi Jinggong raised his glass, everyone in the hall raised their glasses together, and the banquet officially began.

Needless to say, the process of the banquet was not only delicious food and wine, but also a performance by the palace musicians and maiko, which was lively and luxurious.

After the dinner, everyone left, and Qi Jinggong asked his attendants to call Xia Ping'an to the study at the back of the hall to talk and ask about the process of his mission to Chu.

Xia Ping'an told the story of his mission to Chu State, and then changed the subject, "Does the king know that when I entered the palace today, everyone stood up to greet me, but only three people sat behind the case, sitting still?"

Qi Jinggong looked at Xia Ping'an and raised his brows, "Is Xiang Yan talking about Gongsun Jie, Tian Kaijiang, and Guyezi?"

Xia Ping'an nodded and sighed, "I am now the Prime Minister of Qi. I am already ranked above all the officials and officials. I represent the State of Qi and the king as envoy to Chu. All the officials and ministers present salute me in awe. In fact, it is the majesty and order of your Majesty and the State of Qi. However, Gongsun Jie, Tian Kaijiang, and Guyezi were rude to me today. You can imagine how arrogant and arrogant these three people are in their hearts. This is how these three people are now, and these three people will be like this in the future. If you have great power and are united as one, wouldn't your Majesty be afraid that the three of them will do to you what they did to me?"

As soon as he heard Xia Pingan's words, Qi Jinggong's face suddenly darkened, and his expression was no longer good.

Xia Ping'an continued, "I heard that a wise king cultivates brave men. He must be upright and upright when dealing with his superiors, and he must have moral integrity when dealing with his subordinates. He can prohibit riots internally and deter the enemy externally. The country will be prosperous because of their merits. They made a profit, and the subjects admired them because of their courage, so the country improved their status and increased their salaries. But the three people your Majesty now raises do not have the righteousness of monarchs and ministers when they are above, and they do not respect the ethics of elders and children below; Riots are prohibited and the enemy cannot be deterred externally. If your Majesty continues to let these three people go, they may endanger the country in the future, so it is better to get rid of them as soon as possible."

A look of embarrassment appeared on Qi Jinggong's face, "These three people are all extremely brave. It will not be easy to capture them. Sending assassins probably won't work either. I wonder what Prime Minister Yan has to do?"

"Looking at the actions of these three people today, you know that although these three people are brave and think of themselves as soldiers, they do not respect the etiquette of elders and young ones. To kill them, you only need two peaches!"

"Two peaches?" Qi Jinggong looked at Xia Pingan in surprise.

"Yes, two peaches. Your Majesty will invite the three of them to the palace tomorrow and reward the three of them with two peaches. Just let the three of them eat these two peaches according to their merit!"

Qi Jinggong was dubious, but still nodded.

The next day, Duke Jinggong of Qi invited the three people to the palace as Yan Zi said. After watching the three people practice martial arts and swordsmanship in the garden, he had two bright red peaches brought to them.

Xia Pingan was also with Qi Jinggong at this time, looking at the three of them.

"My three dear friends have been with me for many years, and they have all worked hard and made great achievements. Today I sent you some tribute peaches, which are sweet and delicious. I also have two peaches here. The three dear ladies can divide them. How do you think the peaches should be divided among them?"

The three of them looked at each other, and Gongsun Jie laughed loudly. He walked out without hesitation and said proudly, "Your Majesty is assessing our merit. If we don't accept the peach, it means we are not brave enough. However, there are three of us." , but there are only two peaches. There are more people than peaches. In this way, the only way to eat peaches is according to the merit. Let me start by saying that I, Gongsun Jie, hunted with your majesty. I once killed wild beasts and tigers with my bare hands. Gongsun Jie did this. His merits and bravery can eat a peach alone.”

After Gongsun finished speaking, he came over, took a peach directly from the maid's plate, and finished the peach in two bites.

Tian Kaijiang then stood up and said in a rough voice: "Once on the battlefield, I fought bravely, making the enemy intimidated, and defeated the enemy's attacks several times. I, Tian Kaijiang, can also take credit for my achievements alone. A peach." After Tian Kaijiang finished speaking, he picked up a peach and ate it directly.

Finally, Guyezi, who looked sincere and resolute, took a step forward, glanced at the two peach eaters in front of him, and asked loudly and unconvinced, "What do you think of your heroic achievements? Can your achievements and bravery compare to mine, Gongsun?" Then, you just fought wild beasts and tigers when hunting for His Majesty. Did you know that I once crossed the Yellow River with Your Majesty? The giant turtle in the Yellow River bit the horse pulling the cart on His Majesty's left and dived into the rapids of the reef, making Your Majesty very scared. I was shocked. At that time, I was still young and could not swim, so I dived into the water and walked with a sharp knife and a stone in my arms. I walked a hundred steps against the current, and then traveled nine miles with the current to catch the big turtle for Your Majesty and kill it. Then I, I Holding the horse's tail in his left hand and holding the big turtle's head in his right hand, he jumped out of the water like a white crane. When the boatman at the ferry saw it, he thought it was a river god flying out of the water. Tian Kaijiang, can you make people think you are a river god?"

Gongsun Jie and Tian Kaijiang, who had taken the peach before, looked at each other, each feeling ashamed.

Gongsun Jie said loudly, "Our bravery is not as good as yours, and our merits are not as good as yours, but we picked up the peach before you and showed no humility. This is greed. I shouldn't eat that peach. How could I eat it?" Take it out and I’ll give it back to you!”

After Gongsun finished speaking, he gritted his teeth, pulled out the long sword from his body, inserted the sword into his stomach with a backhand move, pulled it hard, cut open his stomach, tore out his intestines, and then threw himself to the ground.

Tian Kaijiang also sighed, "I'm really not qualified to eat that peach, and it's useless to keep my head!" After saying that, he drew his sword and killed himself. He cut his own throat and half of his neck with one sword, and then fell to the ground.

Guyezi was a little angry just now, but in the blink of an eye, he saw Gongsun Jiehetian Kaijiang committing suicide and fell in front of him. Guyezi was also stunned. Guyezi glanced at the expressionless Qi Jinggong, and seemed to understand something, and looked up to the sky With a long sigh, "Both of them are dead, but I, Guyezi, live alone. The three of us were once friends. Now that I am alive, this is unkind. It is unkind to use words to humiliate others and flatter myself. This is unjust." I regret my words and deeds. If you don't even have the courage to die, you are not brave. I still have this little courage..." When Guyezi said this, he looked at the two corpses on the ground and laughed miserably. He murmured to himself, "Although the two of them died for a peach, in fact, due to my bravery, I should have been able to enjoy a peach to myself!"

After saying that, Guyezi also drew his sword and killed himself.

In the blink of an eye, the three warriors of Qi died in front of Xia Pingan and Qi Jinggong.

Xia Ping'an sighed. If it weren't for the need to fuse the world beads, even among the world beads, he would not want to see Gongsun Jie, Tian Kaijiang, and Guyezi die like this. All three of them have soldiers. Their integrity and conduct are precisely because they are scholars, so they can be killed with two peaches. If they are scoundrels, let alone two peaches, you can't kill any of them with two carts of peaches.

Sigh, respectable!

"Your Majesty, please give these three people a generous burial!" Xia Ping'an said to Qi Jinggong.

Looking at the three people lying on the ground, Qi Jinggong also nodded.

The world of Jie Zhu suddenly shattered.

…

In the secret training room, Xia Pingan opened his eyes.

The upper limit of divine power has been increased by 15 points, becoming 10086 points. At the same time, Xia Ping'an's secret mandala has an additional spell using peach as a medium. Once this spell is cast, Gongsun Jie can be summoned at the same time. Three warriors, Tian Kaijiang and Guyezi.

Finally, there was a boundary bead. Xia Pingan took out the boundary bead and saw only two small seal characters "闗顺" on it.

Looking at this world bead, Xia Pingan's face became more respectful!
