Chapter 2741 2743 [The gnat may shake the big tree]
Xiang Nan and others traveled on the road for fifteen days and finally arrived at the western border.
After reaching the western border, the group split into two groups.
Li Chengye and Li Feng led the team to the Western Territory Protectorate; Xiang Nan led the team to Yanzhi City, the king city of Xizhou.
"Second brother, take care~" Xiang Nan clasped his hands, and then led the team away.
"This Li Chengyin will become a confidant's trouble sooner or later." Li Feng looked at the back of him leading the team away, and couldn't help but said to Li Chengye, "My lord, why don't we just keep doing it and give him too..."
As he spoke, he gestured to cut his throat.
"Hey, the crown prince was just assassinated, and now that the fifth prince has an accident, it's hard not to be seen through." Li Chengye waved his hand and said, "Let him go, anyway, soon, the big battle is coming soon. I'm afraid I won't find a chance to deal with him."
"Good opinion, my lord." Li Feng laughed when he heard this.
…
Xiang Nan led his team to Yanzhi City.
After walking for three days, I finally arrived.
Seeing that Yanzhi City is worthy of being the capital of Xizhou, it is magnificent, majestic, full of merchants, and very lively, worthy of the four characters [Western Gateway].
Xiang Nan led the team to station in the Huitong Pavilion first, and then the envoy of the Embassy sent a request to see the King of Xizhou.
Because Xiang Nan was the fifth prince of the Feng Dynasty and an imperial envoy of the Heavenly Kingdom, he received preferential treatment from the embassy and was placed in the main hall to rest.
And this arrangement annoyed one person.
It is Prince Lidun from Shuobo.
"As Shuo Bo's envoy, I came to Xizhou six days ago, but I can only live in the side hall. They came later than us, but they can live in the main hall. It's unreasonable. Could it be that Xizhou sees me as Shuo Bo? Is it?" Prince Lidun shouted dissatisfied in the courtyard.
Shuobo and Danchi are both big countries in the western region, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers. In contrast, Xizhou has only 20,000 troops. It's just that Xizhou has a relationship with Danchi and Feng Dynasty, so it can gain a firm foothold in the western region.
Therefore, Prince Lidun did not look down on Xizhou, thinking that he was also an envoy of a big country, but he was treated differently, so he was naturally upset.
Seeing this, the embassy envoy naturally smiled and appeased.
Prince Lidun was relentless, and even wanted to lead his people to drive Xiang Nan out of the main hall.
"Come on, come out and fight us Shuobo people. If you people from the rich dynasty win, this main hall will be yours to live in." Prince Lidun shouted, "Otherwise, give us the main hall early Bo."
Xiang Nan knew that it was fake that he wanted to seize the main hall to live in, and it was true that he wanted to destroy the marriage between Feng Dynasty and Xizhou without damaging Feng Chao's face.
Because of the good relationship between Fengchao and Xizhou, he can use Xizhou to control the western border, and even Shobo depends on Fengchao's face. Therefore, when he learned that Feng Dynasty wanted to make peace with Xizhou, Shuo Bo hurriedly sent a mission, hoping to marry the nine princesses of Xizhou.
This will not only destroy the relationship between the Rich Dynasty and Xizhou, but also control Xizhou with the help of the Nine Princesses of Xizhou, thereby strangling the gateway to the Western Territory.
…
Thinking of this, Xiang Nan led people to welcome him out.
"The fifth prince of the lower dynasty, Li Chengyin, dare not ask your Excellency who is..." Xiang Nan cupped his hands and smiled.
"I am Prince Lidun, nephew of King Shobo." Prince Lidun said proudly.
"I have admired you for a long time." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "I don't know if Prince Lidun is here, what can I advise you?"
"I don't have any advice, I just want you to give up the main hall for us Shobo people to live in." Prince Lidun pointed to the main hall and said arrogantly.
Seeing his rude words, the soldiers of the rich dynasty couldn't help glaring.
"Although there are tens of thousands of mansions, sleeping seven feet, it doesn't matter to me where I live. But now I am an envoy of the rich dynasty, and my words and deeds represent the rich dynasty, so I have to care." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Prince Lidun wants to change rooms with me, there must be a reasonable reason."
"Treasures, luxurious houses, beauties, those who are capable live here! If you want to live in the main hall, it depends on whether you have the ability." Prince Lidun said, "We will send three people out to fight each other. If you win, the main hall will be held It belongs to you. If you lose, move out of the main hall immediately."
"I led the team here this time to ask the king of Xizhou for marriage. It would be ominous to use swords in vain." Xiang Nan smiled, "Well, how about I end up in person, how about fighting with Prince Lidun?"
The so-called arm wrestling means arm wrestling, which has been very popular since the Han Dynasty.
Prince Lidun looked at Xiang Nan, saw that he was thin and withered, and looked like a gentleman, he couldn't help sneering, "Okay, it's a deal, let's clap your hands three times!"
Xiang Nan nodded, and then clapped three times with Prince Lidun.
…
At this time, the embassy also ordered people to move tables and chairs, so that Xiang Nan and Prince Lidun sat on the left and right.
"Get ready!" the embassy shouted.
Prince Lidun immediately rolled up his sleeves, revealing his thick arms, which were indeed very strong.
Xiang Nan also rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong arms.
Although Li Chengyin is a prince, he has learned piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, sword, riding and archery since he was a child, so he is much stronger than he looks.
Even so, his arms are three circles thinner than Prince Lidun's.
Prince Lidun looked at Xiang Nan's arm and let out a contemptuous laugh.
The Shuo Bo soldiers he brought looked at Xiang Nan's delicate, white, girl-like arm, and couldn't help but smile wretchedly.
The hands of the two were immediately held together.
And at this moment, there was an extra person on the roof of the Huitong Hall.
This person is about forty years old, with a beard under his chin, wearing a commoner clothes, holding a sword in his hand, and looks shrewd and capable.
He looked at Xiang Nan who was wrestling in the court, showing concern.
"Start!" the embassy shouted.
Xiang Nan and Prince Lidun immediately exerted their strength simultaneously.
Prince Lidun grabbed the corner of the table with his left hand, pouring all his strength into his right hand, trying to push Xiang Nan's arm down.
But no matter how hard he exerted his breast-feeding strength, the veins on his neck, forehead, and arms burst, but he still couldn't overwhelm Xiang Nan's hand.
Xiang Nan's hands seemed to be made of steel, and he himself was like a fly shaking a big tree. He couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't expect Xiang Nan to look thin and small, but he was so strong.
At this moment, Prince Lidun suddenly felt a huge force coming from his right hand, as if being caught by pliers, which made him almost scream out of pain, his face turned pale in an instant, and he was sweating like a bean Immediately came out.
Prince Lidun immediately understood that Xiang Nan's strength was much greater than him. If he continued to hold it, his right hand might be useless.
Just about to choose to surrender, at this moment, Xiang Nan laughed and said, "Prince Lidun is really strong, it is really difficult for me to win, how about we fight?"
Prince Lidun was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly agreed.
If he pulled it any further, he would have to lose face on the spot.
"Prince Lidun is really proud, I accept it." Xiang Nan laughed, and then let go of his hand.
Prince Lidun laughed awkwardly, "The fifth prince is really powerful, and I have learned it."
After speaking, he hurriedly led the soldiers away.
