Chapter 714 It's just a test
"No, you have it. But don't worry, I won't be as knowledgeable as an envoy for you, but I advise you to go back early and ask your country's lord, is he stupid?" Xia Fan pointed at Hao Rong and said.
When Bu Fenghou heard this, he was stunned and shouted in his heart: It's over, it's over, the young master actually insulted the king of the Holy Dragon Kingdom. This is even more deadly than the conflict and casualties on the border. Maybe when the envoy returns, the Holy Dragon Kingdom will declare war on Baishi City for this! The young master is really too... lawless!
"My country wise..." Hao Rong couldn't help but be furious when he heard Xia Fan insulting his country lord like this, his face turned red and he immediately wanted to defend himself.
"Do you believe that you are so arrogant and lying? If he wasn't stupid, how could he be so easily caught up in Lan Haolin's trick? As long as he is not blind, you can see that my man was led to the Holy Dragon Kingdom this time, in order to make Baishi City become enemies with the Holy Dragon Kingdom. As long as he is not a fool, it is easy to analyze that it must be Lan Haolin's tampering behind this matter, but your country king let the culprit not pursue it, but instead came to me like a fool to trouble me. How wise do you think he can be?" Xia Fan was too lazy to talk nonsense to Hao Rong, and directly told his judgment without any concealment.
"Well, I..." Hao Rong felt a little confused now, because what Xia Fan said was really reasonable, which made him unable to refute it. However, he did not forget his duty for this mission, so he coughed lightly and wanted to reiterate his position.
"Don't talk, because you are not qualified to talk directly to me as a person. I am not discussing with you now. You should go back to the Holy Dragon Kingdom immediately and tell your lord what I just said, and then let him reflect on what he was wrong. If you know you were wrong, let your lord think about how to eliminate my dissatisfaction with you. Otherwise, you will wait to bear the thunderous anger of me, Qiankun Sect and the entire Han Dynasty. Do you understand?" Xia Fan said in a high position.
"I understand." Hao Rong was completely suppressed by Xia Fan's momentum, and just replied subconsciously.
"Then you can leave." Xia Fan waved his hand, as if he had sent a cat or a dog away.
"Yes." Hao Rong nodded in dismay and agreed, and subconsciously saluted Xia Fan respectfully before leaving.
Bu Fenghou stood aside and looked at the incredible things, and couldn't help but be stunned and shouted in his heart: This is OK?! How did this be done? With a shout, the aura of the messenger who had previously been full of arrogance was completely wiped out, and he left in shame with his tail between his legs. This was really incredible!
No, no, this matter cannot be understood so easily. The messenger was only temporarily shocked by the young master's, so he was a little confused. When he woke up later, he would definitely not give up. When he returned to the Holy Dragon Kingdom and reported what the young master said to the Holy Dragon Kingdom, it would definitely trigger a larger war.
If I had known this, I would have invited Jia Yansong to solve the problem. Thinking of this, Bu Fenghou really regretted it, but soon he calmed down and walked to Xia Fan and said, "Young Master, do you want me to send someone to intercept the envoy of the Holy Dragon Kingdom on the way?"
"Kill him? Why?" Xia Fan said in wonder.
"Young Master, even if I only know how to march and fight and don't know how to diplomacy, I also know that you have no respect for the Lord of the Holy Dragon Kingdom... If the envoy really brings these words back, the Holy Dragon Kingdom will definitely provoke a war. At that time..." Bu Fenghou said with concern.
"I'll ask you, are you afraid of war?" Xia Fan raised his hand, interrupted Bu Fenghou's words, and asked casually.
"Of course I'm not afraid." Bu Fenghou answered firmly without thinking. He was originally an iron-blooded general, so how could he be afraid of war?
"That's right. If the Lord of the Holy Dragon Kingdom really wants to provoke a war, then let him come. Would I be afraid of him? Also, you just said, I have no respect for the Lord of the Holy Dragon Kingdom. Haha, you said rightly but you were wrong. What is his identity and what is my identity? Do I need to respect him?" Xia Fan said disdainfully.
Bu Fenghou was speechless when Xia Fan asked, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that what Xia Fan said was really reasonable. Although Long Xiaoshu was the lord of a country, the Holy Dragon Kingdom was too small and too remote compared to the Han Dynasty, so in terms of identity, he really could not be compared with Xia Fan. This is the pride and confidence of a great country.
"That's right, Hao Rong is an envoy of a country after all. Will this be inappropriate for him? Young Master, I am definitely not afraid of war, but now we have few soldiers and major generals and have a small territory. It is already the limit to help Lu Chuan fight Lan Haolin. If we face the Holy Dragon Kingdom again, we will be unable to bear it." Bu Fenghou pondered for a moment and finally expressed his worries.
"You can persuade me like this, which shows your loyalty. I am very pleased, but although you cannot say all the wrong words, they are not completely correct." Xia Fan was very satisfied that Bu Fenghou could think about himself so much, but he couldn't help but be a little narrow-minded and helpless about his eyes, so he decided to give him some advice.
"Please give me advice." Bu Fenghou saluted respectfully, looking as if he was washing his ears and listening.
"If you just said that just now, from the perspective of a general, there is nothing wrong with it. Although we have taken Baishi City and have a foothold, we have not completely stood firm. Adding too many enemies is indeed harmful and useless. But if you say this from the perspective of a king, you are really wrong. First of all, you have to understand one thing, why did the Holy Dragon Kingdom just send an envoy here and come secretly." Xia Fan raised a finger, looked at Bu Fenghou, waiting for his answer.
"This... I don't know, I'm just a general, it's really hard to guess what the king thought." After thinking for a moment, Bu Fenghou shook his head helplessly.
"Haha, you!" Xia Fan smiled and patted Bu Fenghou's shoulder, but did not point out Bu Fenghou's little thoughts. He just shook his finger and said, "Actually, the reason is very simple. Long Xiaoshu, the king of the Holy Dragon Kingdom, is not as stupid as I said. Otherwise, if we broke into the territory of the Holy Dragon Kingdom and killed their patrol soldiers, he would definitely declare war directly."
"In fact, he did not do this, but sent an envoy, which shows that he was not reckless, and he also knew in his heart what was going on. He sent an envoy, first to show their attitude and determination, and secondly, he wanted to test our reaction. If he was too weak at this time, it would attract the covetousness of the Holy Dragon Kingdom. Therefore, I had to show our attitude toughly, and even intimidate him in the opposite direction, so that he knew that we were not easy to mess with. If it really angered me, it would be a battle."
When Xia Fan said this, he stretched out another finger and said, "Secondly, you have to think about why the Lan Yu Kingdom is fighting to the death now. We all came over to get the bargain, but the Holy Dragon Kingdom, which is not far apart, has always been very restrained."
"The Holy Dragon Kingdom is going to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight." Bu Fenghou was certainly not a fool. With Xia Fan's reminder, he immediately understood the whole story.
"That's right, unless Lan Haolin and Lu Chuan fight to the point where both sides are injured, Long Xiaoshu will most likely not interfere in the affairs of Lan Yuguo, because only in this way can he get the greatest benefit with the smallest price. Of course, he also hopes that we will get the most out of the way. Therefore, unless it is necessary, he will not go to war easily with us, because he is not stupid and will not be willing to be used by Lan Haolin. Of course, even if he is stupid, with the words I reminded him, he should understand what is going on. Now you understand, right?" Xia Fan looked at Bu Fenghou and said.
"I understand, thank you for your advice and I've been taught." Bu Fenghou did not understand it very well, but after listening to Xia Fan's in-depth analysis, it would be too stupid if he couldn't figure it out again.
When he suddenly realized his enlightenment, Bu Fenghou couldn't help but feel ashamed. In terms of age, he was older than Xia Fan, but in terms of knowledge and pattern, he was really much worse.
Just like what happened just now, if Xia Fan didn't explain it thoroughly to him, he might not be able to figure it out. Maybe he would always think that Xia Fan kicked the door in and scolded the messenger before, which was purely the violent temper of his playboy. Now, when he looked back, Xia Fan's actions had his intentions in every sentence. It seemed to be anger but was also righteous. At the same time, he also expressed his tough attitude, which was completely unscathing.
Thinking about how I am overwhelmed by how to deal with the messenger these two days, there is a world of difference compared to Xia Fan. Thinking of this, Bu Fenghou admired Xia Fan more and more.
…………
Not long after Hao Rong left Baishi City, he gradually woke up. When he recalled what Xia Fan said that humiliated the king, he couldn't help but become furious. As the saying goes, the king was insulted by the ministers. The king was insulted like this, but he was so ashamed that he could not even say anything refuted. At that time, Hao Rong turned around and went back immediately and decided that even if he fought hard, he would argue with him.
However, after just walking towards Baishi City for three or four miles, Hao Rong's steps slowed down until he finally stopped, because after the initial anger, he calmed down completely and thought about what Xia Fan had said from beginning to end in his mind. Although he was still a little annoyed, it seemed that it was not so difficult to accept.
