Chapter 689 Two peaches kill three scholars

,Golden Summoner

"Prince Yan, the king specially held a banquet in the palace today, and is welcoming the Prime Minister's envoy Chu to return..."

As soon as Xia Ping'an opened his eyes, he saw a eunuch walking around him, talking to him while walking. The two of them walked in the corridor, surrounded by palace guards, and in front of him, a palace had appeared in front of him.

It became Yan Zi again!

Xia Ping'an was already very familiar with the imperial palace of Qi. He knew that the person waiting for him in the palace in front was Duke Jing of Qi.

"Who are there people who come to the banquet today?" Xia Ping'an asked as he walked.

"Reported to the Prime Minister Yan, the king invited all the important officials in the court today. The powerful and nobles in Linzi are already listed. The Grand Secretary, the Grand Secretary, the Grand Secretary, the Grand Secretary, the Grand Secretary, the Grand Secretary, the Grand Secretary, the Grand Secretary, the Grand Censor, and the Grand Censor all are all at the meeting. There are also the three confidants of His Majesty, Gongsun Jie, Tian Kaijiang, and Gu Yezi..."

"Oh, I understand..." Xia Ping'an responded calmly.

Is it true that the three people who killed Ertao killed three soldiers really despised Yan Zi and caused Yan Zi to be murderous? If Duke Jing of Qi had not acquiesced to get rid of these three people, just with Yan Zi's words, how could Duke Jing of Qi be so confused that he wanted to kill these three people?

Duke Jing of Qi seemed harmless, but since he succeeded to the throne, he killed Cui Shu, and then Qingfeng. Now he killed Gongsun Jie, Tian Kaijiang and Gu Yezi again. After killing step by step, the power of Qi was gradually concentrated in Duke Jing of Qi. It would be impossible to say that everything was a coincidence.

Behind Gongsun Jie, Tian Kaijiang and Gu Yezi are all deeply rooted in Qi's large families and literati and officials. Not to mention anything else, just Tian Kaijiang comes from the Tian family. This is a suppression of the powerful large families and literati and officials of Qi. Despite this, after Duke Jing of Qi, the Tian family usurped Qi. It can only be said that these stubborn families and literati and officials of Qi have already shown signs of threat to the Jiang clan regime. King Jing of Qi has seen this sign, so he used Yan Zi's plan to remove Gongsun Jie, Tian Kaijiang and Gu Yezi.

"The ones who can enter and exit the most prosperous palaces in the world are all foxes that have been around for thousands of years..." Xia Ping'an looked at the tall palace beside him and muttered in his heart.

As Xia Ping'an walked to the door of the palace, an eunuch standing at the door of the palace was already shouting, "Yan Xiang is here..."

In that sound, Xia Ping'an stepped over the palace threshold and had already walked into the hall.

There were indeed many people gathered in the hall. Duke Jing of Qi was still empty. Before Duke Jing of Qi had arrived, there were tables on both sides of the hall. The powerful and powerful Qi State who were attending the banquet sat behind the tables.

Yan Zi was not late, so the food in the hall had not been served yet, so everyone who came to the banquet was just chatting quietly.

Yan Zi was the Prime Minister of Qi and had just made contributions to the State of Chu. When he saw Xia Ping'an walking in, the people who had already come to the banquet and sat behind the table all stood up quickly, not daring to be arrogant, and they all greeted Xia Ping'an, and almost none of them were sitting there.

"I've met Yan Xiang..."

"Yan Xiang went to Chu State to work hard and made great contributions..."

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

Xia Ping'an also took small steps and nodded in response.

Almost everyone stood up except for three.

They were three powerful men who were strong and powerful at first glance, sitting in the middle of the hall. When Xia Ping'an passed by them, they were still sitting behind the table, chatting and laughing at each other, just glanced at Xia Ping'an, and didn't even mean to stand up.

Xia Ping'an walked past the three of them without any hesitation, then came to the front desk and sat down, waiting for Duke Jing of Qi to come.

After a while, with the sound of "The King Arriving", all the people in the hall stood up. Duke Jing of Qi smiled and walked calmly to the throne of the hall.

"I've seen the king!" Everyone in the hall saluted Duke Jing of Qi.

"You are all dear friends. Today's banquet is set up for the Prime Minister Yan. Yan is on a mission to Chu State. He has worked hard and made great contributions. I suggest that you can respect Yan Xiang with a glass of wine..." Duke Jing of Qi looked at Xia Ping'an and said, as Duke Jing of Qi raised his glass, everyone in the hall raised the wine glass together, and the banquet officially began.

Needless to say, the process of the banquet is not only delicious food and wine, but also the performances brought by the palace musician Maiki, which are both lively and luxurious.

After the dinner, everyone left, and Duke Jing of Qi asked his close servants to call Xia Ping'an to the study behind the hall to talk, asking about the process of his mission to Chu State.

Xia Ping'an explained the story of his mission to Chu State, and then changed the subject, "Do you know that I entered the hall today and everyone stood up to greet me, but three of them sat behind the desk and couldn't sit upright?"

Duke Jing of Qi looked at Xia Ping'an and his eyebrows moved, "What Yan Xiang said about Gongsun Jie, Tian Kaijiang, and Gu Yezi?"

Xia Ping'an nodded and sighed, "I am now the prime minister of Qi, and I am already above all the officials and officials. On behalf of Qi and the king, the officials and ministers present saluted me. What they respected was the majesty and order of the king and Qi. Gongsun Jie, Tian Kaijiang, and Gu Yezi were rude to me today. You can imagine how arrogant and arrogant these three people are. Now the three people are like this. If these three people are in power in the future and are united together, will your Majesty be afraid that the three people will treat you like me?"

When he heard Xia Ping'an's words, Duke Jing of Qi's face turned gloomy and his face was not very good.

Xia Ping'an continued, "I heard that the wise kings have the righteousness of the monarch and ministers against the superiors, and have moral integrity to the elders and the elders and the elders. They can ban riots from the internal side and intimidate the enemy's army; the country makes profits from their merits, and the subjects are obeyed by their courage, so the country improves their status and increases their salary. Now the three people raised by Your Majesty have no moral integrity to the emperor and the elders and the elders and do not talk about moral integrity to the subordinates; they cannot ban riots from the internal side and intimidate the enemy's army. Your Majesty continues to let these three people go, and may endanger the country in the future. It is better to get rid of them as soon as possible."

Duke Jing of Qi showed a look of embarrassment, "These three people are extremely brave. It is not easy to defeat them. Sending assassins probably won't work. I wonder what good plans do Yan Xiang have?"

"Today, you can tell that although these three people are brave and regard themselves as scholars, they do not talk about the etiquette of old and young. To kill them, only two peaches are needed!"

"Two peaches?" King Jing of Qi looked at Xia Ping'an in surprise.

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

Duke Jing of Qi was half-believing and half-doubted, but nodded.

On the second day, as Yan Zi said, Duke Jing of Qi invited three people to the palace. After watching the three people practice martial arts and swordsmanship in the garden, he brought two bright red peaches.

Xia Ping'an was also by Duke Jing of Qi at this time, watching the three of them.

"The three dear friends and I have worked hard and made great contributions. Today I send a few tribute peaches, which are sweet and delicious. I have two peaches here, so the three dear friends can share them. How do you see these peaches?"

The three of them looked at each other, and Gongsun Jie laughed loudly, and walked out in one step, Gu Pan proudly, "Your Majesty is evaluating our credit. If we don't accept peaches, we will mean that we are not brave enough. However, we have three people, but there are only two peaches. There are more people and fewer peaches. In this way, we can only eat peaches according to the size of the credit. Let me tell you first, my Gongsun Jie hunted with His Majesty, and once fought with wild beasts and tigers with bare hands. With such heroic achievements as Gongsun Jie, you can eat a peach alone."

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

Tian Kaijiang then stood up and said in a rough voice: "I used to fight bravely on the battlefield, which made the enemy afraid and defeated the enemy's attacks several times. For me, Tian Kaijiang, you can also eat a peach alone." After Tian Kaijiang said that, he picked up a peach and ate it directly.

Gu Yezi, who had a sincere and determined look, took a step forward, glanced at the two peach-eating people in front of him, and asked loudly in dissatisfaction, "What are your bravery and good things? Can your courage be compared to me? Gongsun Jie, you just fought wild beasts and tigers for your Majesty when hunting. Do you know that I once crossed the Yellow River with Your Majesty. The big turtle in the Yellow River bit the horse pulling a cart on the left and sneaked into the reef torrent, letting

Your Majesty was shocked. At that time, I was still young and could not swim. So I dived into the water with a sharp blade and walked in the water with a sharp sword. I walked a hundred steps against the water, and then I caught the big turtle and killed it for my Majesty. Then I held the ponytail in my left hand and the head of the big turtle in my right hand, and jumped out of the water like a white crane. The boatman at the ferry saw that it was the river god flying out of the water. Tian Kaijiang, can you make people think you are the river god?"

Gongsun Jie and Tian Kaijiang, who had taken peaches before, looked at each other, and were both ashamed.

Gongsun heard loudly, "Our courage is not as good as you, and our credit is not as good as you, but he picked up the peach before you without giving in any humility. This is greed. I shouldn't have eaten that peach, and I will take it out whatever I eat, and I will give it back to you!"

After Gongsun finished speaking, he gritted his teeth, pulled out the long sword on his body, inserted it with a backhand, and pulled it hard, directly cut open his stomach, tearing off his intestines, and then threw it to the ground.

Tian Kaijiang also sighed, "I really don't have the right to eat that peach, it's useless to keep it in my head!" After that, he drew his sword and committed suicide, cut open his throat and half of his neck with one sword, and then fell to the ground.

Gu Yezi was still a little angry just now, but in a blink of an eye, he saw Gongsun Jiehe Tian Kaijiang commit suicide and fell in front of him. Gu Yezi was also stunned. Gu Yezi glanced at the expressionless Duke Jing of Qi, as if he understood something. He sighed to the sky, "They are both dead, but I am Gu Yezi, alone. The three of me used to be friends. I am alive now, this is injustice; humiliating others and praising myself with words is injustice; I regret my words and deeds. If I don't even have the courage to die, this is no courage. I still have this courage..." Gu Yezi said this, looked at the two corpses on the ground, smiled bitterly, and murmured to himself, "Although they both died for a peach, in fact, my contributions and courage should be able to enjoy a peach alone!"

After saying that, Gu Yezi also drew his sword and committed suicide.

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

Xia Ping'an sighed. If it weren't for the need to merge the Realm Pearl, even in the Realm Pearl, he wouldn't want to see Gongsun Jie, Tian Kaijiang, and Gu Yezi die like this. The three of them have the integrity and ethics of scholars. It is precisely because they are scholars that they can use two peaches to kill them. If they are rogues, let alone two peaches, you can't kill them alone with two carts of peaches.

It's a pity, respectable!

"Your Majesty also asks you to bury these three people!" Xia Ping'an said to King Jing of Qi.

Looking at the three people lying on the ground, Duke Jing of Qi also nodded.

The world of the Realm Beads was shattered all at once.

...

In the training room, Xia Ping'an opened his eyes.

The upper limit of divine power has been added by 15 points, becoming 10086 points. At the same time, in Xia Ping'an's secret mandala, there is an additional magic used by peaches as the medium. Once this magic is used, it can summon three warriors, Gongsun Jie, Tian Kaijiang and Gu Yezi at the same time.

Finally, there was a realm bead. Xia Ping'an took out the realm bead and saw only two small seal script "Wei Shun" on the realm bead.
