Chapter 277 Seeking Death
Xia Bitu didn't go far just now. He was just wandering around nearby and had been secretly watching for a while.
He was originally gloating because he knew this would happen. The Qi family is not easy to mess with.
I don’t believe that you, Qin Zheng, can kill them all.
He wanted to see Qin Zheng get humiliated.
However, he saw Qin Zheng's signature smile before killing someone.
He didn't want to show up at first. After all, it would be better to let Qin Zheng deal with the Qi family.
But this Qi Kaitai was so ignorant of the danger that he wanted to kill Qin Zheng, the imperial envoy?
This is a serious crime that will result in the extermination of nine clans. Even the King of the Western Territory was among the nine clans to be killed.
Xia Bitu knew that Qin Zheng wanted to punish the King of the Western Territory, but as the Prime Minister, he was in an awkward position. After all, he and the King of the Western Territory were still allies.
Although Qin Zheng said it nicely, such as destroying the King of the Western Territory would mean the six powers would be in a balance of power.
But he knew very well that after Qin Zheng destroyed the King of the Western Territory, who knows who he would destroy next.
This is called defeating them one by one!
The most advantageous thing for him is to maintain the current seven forces.
Moreover, among the seven families now, six have the hope of joining forces to bring down the empress.
Although we haven’t reached a consensus yet and there is no opportunity to take action, it will happen sooner or later!
Although Qin Zheng is a member of the Five Elements Sect, the Empress is not the only one who has the support of a patron saint.
Therefore, the forces that have the support of the protector gods behind them are not afraid of the Five Elements Sect.
Judging from the Empress's stance, she will surely take the initiative to attack sooner or later. At that time, she will anger the six forces and force them to unite.
He also knew that Qin Zheng was very clear about the situation and that he was protecting Xia Jinzhong because he was afraid that Xia Bitu would fall to any side. This was because Qin Zheng suspected that Xia Bitu also had the support of the Protector God.
Now there is another Ningguta, so Qin Zheng is eager to eliminate a force and reduce a threat. Because no one dares to guarantee that Ningguta does not have the support of a guardian god behind it.
Even the Four Border Armies may have the support of a patron saint behind them.
This is what Qin Zheng fears, and it is also what the Five Elements Sect does not want to see.
Among the four border armies, the Western Border Army is the weakest because the area where it is located is relatively barren.
However, Ningguta is weaker than the Western Border Army and its territory is more barren.
The reason why Qin Zheng did not destroy Ningguta first was that he was afraid of the relationship between the Fifth Master and the royal family. Whoever gets involved in royal affairs will die. This has been a law since ancient times!
But Qin Zheng was not only wary of this relationship, but also because Ningguta was not an army after all.
Qin Zheng killed the King of the Western Territory and what he wanted was the Western Territory Army.
Qin Zheng didn't want to wipe out the entire Western Border Army.
That's not realistic.
Even if Qin Zheng has this ability, if he is killed, who will guard the western border? In the Daqian Dynasty, under the command of the empress, is there such a capable person?
At the very least, the King of the Western Territory, Liang Heng, was also a famous general, which made it impossible for the foreign vassal states on the western border to invade easily.
If it were someone else, there wouldn’t be such a deterrent.
Therefore, Qin Zheng's elimination was not to kill, but to eliminate the people behind the King of the Western Territory. At that time, the King of the Western Territory had no support and had to guard the border honestly.
However, if Qin Zheng killed Qi Kaitai, the head of the Qi family, it would be like challenging the emperor, which would definitely anger Liang Heng.
Qin Zheng killed his father-in-law, and the King of the Western Territory could not sit idly by. Although Qi Kaitai was an old man with a narrow vision, he would never watch Qin Zheng kill him.
His father-in-law was killed. If Liang Heng, the King of the Western Territory, just tolerated it, the Western Territory Army would not agree!
The consequences are very serious.
The person Shabitu thought about most was himself.
If he didn't stop it now, he would completely break with the King of the West.
If Qin Zheng really wanted to kill Liang Heng, he wouldn't care about breaking up.
But if Qin Zheng didn't want to kill, he couldn't break with Liang Heng.
He was certain that Qin Zheng had set a trap for him, wanting him to oppose the King of the Western Territory, so that he, Xia Bitu, would have to ride in the same chariot with Qin Zheng.
However, although he was basically certain that Qin Zheng would not kill Liang Heng, the King of the Western Territory, he knew that the monkey boy really dared to kill Qi Kaitai!
"Xia Bitu, you dare to stop me?" Qi Kaitai glared at Xia Bitu.
He knew Shabitu.
In the past, Xia Bitu had given gifts to the King of the West in order to win him over.
Xia Bitu was questioned by the old man, he was so angry!
I thought, I'm saving you, okay? Why the hell don't you know what's good for you?
"Qi Kaitai, you are just a commoner. Even if you meet an official below the first rank, you have to kneel down when you see the imperial envoy. Otherwise, it is a capital crime. What's more, Lord Qin is an imperial envoy holding the imperial sword. When you meet an official one level higher than you, even an official of the first rank has to pay him homage with great respect! Lord Qin has shown leniency to you because of your old age. Why don't you kneel down?" Xia Bitu said with a cold face.
He said so much just to remind the old man Qi Kaitai not to seek death!
Who knew!
Qi Kaitai was angry!
"Oh! Xia Bitu, you didn't act like this when you first came to my house. You kept calling me uncle. How dare you address me by my first name today? You're such an impolite bastard!"
groove!
Xia Bitu was almost pissed to death by this old bastard!
You really don't know whether you live or die!
Qin Zheng smiled at this moment and looked at Xia Bitu: "Since the Prime Minister has a good personal relationship with the Qi family, how about you handle it?"
When Xia Bitu saw Qin Zheng’s smile, his face changed and his heart skipped a beat. Is this little monkey angry?
Xia Bitu didn't dare to make Qin Zheng angry, as he was still counting on Qin Zheng to help him.
Moreover, Qin Zheng's words imply that he wants to push the hot potato of the Qi family to him!
Would he dare to accept it? If he accepted it, if he didn’t kill Qi Kaitai, the spit of the people of Qinghe would drown him.
Moreover, this would give the Empress an excuse to punish him.
Qin Zheng has seen through my purpose.
This is forcing me to make a choice!
Should I stand with the King of the West, or stand with him?
Xia Bitu's face turned pale.
This is Guanxi. Since Qin Zheng wants to deal with the King of the Western Territory, according to common sense, he should not and dare not force him, the prime minister, to the opposite side and become an enemy.
Although the two will become enemies sooner or later, it is definitely not now.
Could it be that this monkey Qin Zheng has a backup plan?
You want to destroy me in Kansai?
Xia Bitu shuddered.
It’s true, he doesn’t have many forces to call upon in Guanxi.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to win over the King of the Western Territory.
But isn’t Qin Zheng afraid of a tripartite alliance between him, Ningguta, and the King of the Western Territory?
Could it be that Qin Zheng has someone in Guanxi?
Could it be that the Black Cavalry of the Five Elements Sect is in Guanxi?
Thinking of this, Xia Bitu felt a chill running down his feet, all the way to the top of his head. His whole body felt icy cold, and his face felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave.
That's the Black Knight!
Xia Bitu stared at Qin Zheng's eyes, trying to see something.
But there was only a smile in Qin Zheng's eyes, nothing else.
However, the more Qin Zheng smiled, the more afraid Xia Bitu became.
In the end, Xia Bitu didn't dare to gamble with his life!
He forced a smile and said, "I am the Imperial Relief Commissioner. Lord Qin is handling the case, so I cannot get involved."
After that, he left.
I can’t do anything about it, but I can’t just stand here and watch.
As long as he is not present, he can give an explanation to the King of the West.
"Hmph! You can't even subdue a little brat, and you still call yourself the prime minister? It's just an empty title!" Qi Kaitai said sarcastically with his nose turned up in the air.
He was actually very proud of it.
Scaring off a prime minister is indeed something he should be proud of!
Xia Bitu's body shook, his face turned grim, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
He regretted showing up just now. Damn this old guy. I'm so angry!
"What are you doing standing there, a bunch of losers? This is Guanxi, and my son-in-law has a million soldiers. Let alone a mere imperial envoy, even if the empress comes, I won't kneel. What dares she do to me?" Qi Kaitai, seeing that he had scared the prime minister away, became even bolder and waved his hand again: "Go, avenge my son!"
Some servants and guards saw that the old man was so powerful that he was not afraid of the imperial envoy, the prime minister, or even the empress. What else were they afraid of?
They jumped up and down and rushed forward.
But some people aren't stupid. I used to think Qi Kaitai was really tough, and he should be tough, after all, the King of the Western Territory is behind him.
But, actually provoking the empress?
How dare you say such outrageous words?
This is really senile!
However, they were the servants and guards of the Qi Mansion, so they had to work for the Qi Mansion.
Otherwise, you will die if you go back!
He had no choice but to bite the bullet and rush forward, shouting, but deliberately falling behind.
Seeing this, Qin Zheng raised the corner of his mouth and sneered: "Your Qi family has disrespected this imperial envoy. I, the imperial envoy, will not pursue the matter out of respect for the King of the Western Territory. However, the imperial majesty cannot be violated!"
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Kill without mercy!"
really!
Xia Bitu, who was watching from a distance, shuddered.
Sure enough, Qin Zheng really dared to kill Qi Kaitai.
He was certain that if Qin Zheng dared to kill Qi Kaitai, he would destroy the Qi family.
Even Xia Bitu was scared.
I didn't expect that following Qin Zheng on business would be so dangerous!
Is this Qin Zheng really sick? Is he really a lunatic?
This is Kansai, aren’t you afraid that you won’t be able to get out?
