Chapter 202 Two Purposes
Xu Jin sat upright in a large tent, and the curtain of the tent was lifted up, allowing him to clearly see the envoys from Qi, leading the envoys from Qi, step by step towards this side.
Not long after, the envoy of Qi State had already arrived in front of the big tent, and then stopped. The Jiming realm master of Qi State who was walking in the front looked at Xu Jin sitting in the big tent, and naturally bowed forward slightly and bowed slightly.
"Yan Jian, the envoy of Qi State, met the Lord Xu Bingzhu!"
The other party was very straightforward in salute, and he did not feel any embarrassment because his cultivation was higher than Xu Jin in front of him. Seeing that the other party was like this, Xu Jin made a gesture of invitation to the other party and then spoke.
"Please take your seat!"
"Thank you, Lord Xu!"
Hearing Xu Jin's words, the Qi envoy named Yan Jian was not pretentious, and strode into the tent directly and sat down at the empty table beside him. The envoy surnamed Qi also walked into the tent and sat on the other side.
After the other party sat down, Xu Jin asked directly to the other party: "What is the so-called messenger coming today?"
When Yan Jian heard Xu Jin ask, he immediately showed a very gentle smile on his face. The other party's face is a relatively rounded look. He doesn't look particularly handsome, but it makes people feel very harmless. Now, when he smiles, it makes people feel even more inexplicable affinity.
"I am here today to represent our country Qi, and I have made a special trip to express my respect for Xu Bingzhu. I have also prepared a brief gift. I also asked Xu Bingzhu to accept it with a smile. This is a gift list!"
Yan Jian said, his attitude seemed even more kind. He flipped his palm and took out a gift list, raised his hand slightly and waved it forward, delivering the gift list to the worshiper Qi.
Looking at the gift list floating in front of him, the worshiper 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 delivered the gift list to Xu Jin.
When Xu Jin noticed the reaction of the Qi worshiper just now, he knew that the gift sent by Qi was probably very valuable. When he saw the content on the list, he couldn't help but feel a little moved.
"Star Crystal, Cold Soul Stone, Kong Yulian... What a good guy, this gift from Qi State is really a big deal!"
Xu Jin looked at the things on the list, all of which were very rare spiritual materials. In the small space where he was old, there were only one or two materials of this level, and they were just beginning to be cultivated, so his value was not comparable.
"Your country has sent such a precious gift, and I don't know what to ask for?"
Xu Jin put down the list of gifts in his hand, looked at Yan Jian, and asked to him.
As the saying goes, politeness must be something for others. Since Qi State has brought so many precious things, it must have its own purpose. Xu Jin is going to hear what the purpose of Qi State is.
Hearing Xu Jin's question, Yan Jian stood up directly, the smile on his face became more kinder, and he said to Xu Jin.
"Don't get me wrong. We are here today, and we have a purpose, but these gifts have nothing to do with our purpose. Giving these things is just to express our admiration for Xu Bingzhu!"
"Among all the countries, Xu Bingzhu is the only one who has become a soldier with the Taoist soldiers. Qi State has been paying attention to Xu Bingzhu very early, and has some understanding of Xu Bingzhu's experience of growing up all the way, so I admire Xu Bingzhu very much. Our Qi State has always respected talents very much. Please accept these gifts!"
After hearing Yan Jian's words, Xu Jin raised his eyebrows slightly. The other party's words were really nice. Such a valuable gift was given to him like this, and he also praised him like this. Even though he knew that the other party was deliberately showing goodwill, most people would not be able to completely remain unmoved by such sugar-coated shells.
However, there has never been a free lunch in this world, and the other party’s gift that seems to have no requests is probably not so easy to get.
At that moment, Xu Jin continued to speak, "The envoy received this intention, but I can't afford such high praise at all, because I still have self-knowledge. Now my cultivation is not as good as the envoy. Why not tell me what I want today!"
Hearing Xu Jin say this, Yan Jian's smile slightly stopped and then spoke.
"To meet Master Xu today, there are two things in total, of course, maybe just one thing!"
Having said this, Yan Jian's voice stopped and his eyes were fixed on Xu Jin. After he got Xu Jin's nod, he continued to speak.
"The Lord Xu's Bingzhu has grown up all the way to this day, which is very admirable. Now he has the foundation of Gujiu. After the demise of Chen State, he can still stand firm and resist the attack of Jing State repeatedly. Yesterday's battle made us see the power of Lord Xu with our own eyes!"
"As far as I know, before the Chen State was destroyed, Xu Bingzhu was actually not in power in Chen State. He made a lot of contributions, but he received not many rewards. Even the normal supply of materials was a problem. I am bluntly speaking, Chen State actually does not value Xu Bingzhu!"
"Our Qi Kingdom was not as powerful as that of Chen Kingdom, but now, we occupy the territory that originally belonged to Chen Kingdom. In addition to some of the reasons that are inconvenient to say, the reason why our country was able to occupy this land is because our country's lord attaches great importance to Xu Bingzhu as such talents and dares to value and promote them. So here we will come here to invite Xu Bingzhu to join Qi Kingdom on behalf of our Qi Kingdom!"
Having said that, Yan Jian quickly glanced around and noticed the reactions of the people around him.
He saw that after he said this, the consort's face had become ugly. He stared at his eyes with obvious hostility, and his eyes were still secretly observing Xu Jin.
Xu Jin, who was sitting there, looked very calm at this time, as if he was not moved by his words at all. Seeing this scene, Yan Jian's eyes flashed, then he took two steps forward, stood at Xu Jin's table, bowed deeply to Xu Jin, and continued to speak.
"The king of our country promised that if the Lord Xu Bingzhu is willing to join our Qi Kingdom, the Taoist soldiers under Xu Bingzhu will not move at all, and will still be led by the Lord Xu Bingzhu. The land in the radius of 800 miles will be given to the Lord Xu Bingzhu. The spiritual materials on the gift list just now are supplied every year, and the quantity will only be more than this time. The Lord of our Lord Qi will give the position of the leader of the army!"
As his words fell, the people who came with him reached out and opened the wooden box in their hands. Suddenly, a series of spiritual lights emanated from the wooden box. All the spiritual materials contained in it were displayed in front of everyone, and the large tent was reflected in colorful colors.
"Is this guy, because these spiritual materials emit a light on the surface, that he chose to bring some spiritual materials, just for this!"
Looking at the colorful light of inspiration, the consecrated consecrated by Qi was instantly shocked by such a scene, but Xu Jin suddenly thought strangely in his heart when he looked at the scene in front of him.
This envoy of Qi, named Yan Jian, is indeed a talented person. He can put his attitude very low and does not have the airs of a master in Jiming realm. Since he met Xu Jin, his attitude has always been very respectful and has been holding Xu Jin high.
Moreover, the other person's appearance and temperament give people a very harmless feeling, and there is an invisible affinity that can make people slightly less prepared for it.
Such a person may not be particularly outstanding in the same realm, but his methods are definitely not that bad, and he is not so easy to meet. The other party's words and the scene in front of him should have been planned long ago, and he wanted to impress Xu Jin with this.
Otherwise, with the knowledge of the Qi family, even though the spiritual materials in front of him were precious enough, it would not have been too touched.
"It turns out that I came to recruit surrenders. The conditions sound very good. I have to think about it carefully. I can't sell myself easily. It's better to talk about another thing than an envoy!"
Xu Jin looked at Yan Jian and nodded to him with a smile. He did not agree or refuse immediately, 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 expectations. After all, in the battle yesterday, Xu Jin was the victorious side. As the defeated side, he came to recruit the victorious side. Just think about it, it was not that easy.
"I was originally thinking about being lazy. If Master Xu agreed to join Qi State directly, there is no need to mention the second thing. Since Master Xu cannot make a decision for the moment, I will talk about the second thing!"
A smile appeared on Yan Jian's face again, then he shook his head gently as if he was regretful, and said again.
After saying that, Yan Jian's expression became serious, he stepped back a little, and then spoke.
"When I fought with Xu Bingzhu yesterday, the strength of Xu Bingzhu is admirable. Our Qi army was hard to match for a while, so I could only retreat temporarily. However, after the battle, I believe that Xu Bingzhu also has some understanding of the strength of our Qi army. Although it may be a bit inferior to the Taoist soldiers under Xu Bingzhu, it is not easy to defeat the soldiers!"
"In recent days, the situation in various countries has been quite turbulent. Not only around Qi and Jing, but also around the world, there have been some frictions between many vassal states. Under such a situation, we should not be fighting with the Lord Xu at this time. Therefore, the second purpose of coming today is to reach an agreement with Lord Xu!"
"The Qi Kingdom hopes that the country will not use any force with Guji in the future. The two sides will temporarily live in peace and do not invade each other. If necessary, there can be some trade exchanges. Can Master Xu agree to such an agreement?"
After hearing Yan Jian's words, Xu Jin's expression became a little weird. He stared at Yan Jian and asked directly to him.
"Are you worried that after you completely occupy the territory of Chen State, you will have to border with Jing State next? You are worried that such a powerful neighbor will continue to conflict in the future, so you specially want to leave Gujiu as a buffer zone?"
Yan Jian, who looked very kind, couldn't help but twitch slightly after hearing Xu Jin's naked question.
"Zheng Xu Bingzhu was considerate and the wise ministers in our country have not had time to think like this yet. When I go back, I will tell them what Xu Bingzhu just said, and I believe it will inspire them!"
After stabilizing his expression, Yan Jian finally answered this, answering as appropriate as possible, refuting Xu Jin's question just now.
After listening to the other party's answer, Xu Jin could not refuse. He knew that the Qi country had definitely considered his question just now. After all, the Qi country was famous for being cautious in doing things. Before doing something, they would consider various possibilities as much as possible and would not ignore such problems.
Putting aside this issue, the proposal that Yan Jian just made seems extremely beneficial to Gujiu at present. Qi State does not attack Gujiu for the time being. In a short period of time, Gujiu needs to consider the threat from Jing State. Jing State and Yi State are still fighting, and Xu Jin is not under great pressure to deal with it.
Of course, this agreement is not unhelpful to Qi. If you don’t fight Xu Jin, Qi’s power will not need to be consumed for the time being. Moreover, they just occupied Chen’s territory and it was just when it took time to digest it. Without Xu Jin’s interference, they could quickly digest these territory and transform it into real national strength.
Thinking about these things quickly in his heart, Xu Jin was silent for a moment, and the worshiper surnamed Qi was also thinking about it and did not say anything. Seeing this, Yan Jian might have felt that the atmosphere was too dull, so he spoke again.
"I believe this agreement is beneficial to both of us, and from the moment, it is obviously more beneficial to Xu Bingzhu. Chen State is gone. Xu Bingzhu's Gujiu is now a remaining flag of Chen State. Many remaining talents from Chen State are waiting and watching Gujiu. If there is no war in Gujiu next, I believe these talents will be happy to come to Gujiu. At that time, Xu Bingzhu's strength will be able to be quickly strengthened. Why not do this!"
"There has not been much time since Xu Bing practiced. Now that his cultivation has reached the realm of crossing the gourd, Gujiu is safe, and Master Xu can take more time to practice. Maybe it will take not long before Master Xu's strength will be able to rise to a higher level. By that time, the agreement between the two sides may exist for a long time. In fact, think about it, the land of this smallest vassal state in the world does not seem to be larger than Gujiu City!"
Yan Jian is undoubtedly a qualified lobbyist. His words are reasonable and well-founded, and full of a sense of intrigue. Especially his last sentence painted a very beautiful prospect for Xu Jin, just to clearly imply that Xu Jin can establish a country in the future!
After hearing his words, Xu Jin not only did not get moved by him, but became more alert. Such a matter that was obviously more beneficial to him, but the other party seemed to be more eager to promote it, which only shows that the other party may have a deeper purpose.
