Song Country.
Within the vast Pri Minister’s Mansion, covering hundreds of acres.
The eting room was brightly lit.
The current Pri Minister of Song, Qin Gui, was lounging grandly on a chair carved with dragons and tigers, even kicking off his shoes, puffing on a pipe, thoroughly enjoying himself.
Beside him, stood ten guards and eight maidservants on each side, his presence as grand as the Emperor in the palace.
At this mont, two people were speaking in the hall, with Qin Gui sitting and listening.
Beside them, a quite beautiful maid poured tea and offered a towel, graceful and virtuous, serving thoroughly and attentively.
When the two n finally traced the whereabouts of the Black Wind Village Chief, Qin Gui snorted lightly, tossed his pipe onto the table with a "thud," and sneered, "The Black Wind Village Chief, after all, is rely a re ruffian, physically strong but simple-minded, without political acun.
This ti, he achieved a great victory and returned in triumph, his montum unstoppable. At this mont, no one dares to criticize him. Wouldn’t you agree?"
One of the n quickly flattered with a smile, saying, "Pri Minister, you are too kind. With your current position beside the Emperor, no one can criticize the great contributor, the Black Wind Village Chief, except for you."
"Yes indeed, if even Pri Minister Qin cannot say so, then I doubt anyone within this vast court would dare."
The other quickly chid in.
Qin Gui snorted coldly and waved his hand, "Do not say such things, you both understand the principle of ritorious deed causing disturbance to the master.
If the Black Wind Village Chief had no handle for to catch, upon his triumphant return, I would indeed have to step aside and give way to him.
However, he directly settled in Dali Kingdom, which simply handed a handle to impeach him."
One nodded and said, "The Emperor ordered Pri Minister Qin to personally oversee the peace negotiations, yet Yue Fei resisted even the ten golden tokens, disregarding Pri Minister Qin, his confidence solely based on the Black Wind Village Chief.
If the Black Wind Village Chief pleaded for him before the Emperor, it might indeed spare Yue Fei from punishnt, which would be a significant blow to us, the Peace Faction."
The other concurred, looking at Qin Gui, "Thus, the attitude of the Black Wind Village Chief is particularly crucial."
"Indeed!"
Qin Gui chuckled sinisterly, stood up with his hands behind his back pacing, his eyes glinting coldly as he said, "The Black Wind Village Chief pleading for Yue Fei is a minor issue, the main concern is his terrifying prowess, capable of facing a million troops alone, under him are strong soldiers and courageous generals, experts abound, even the Emperor now places imnse importance on him.
If he also advocates for continued warfare, it might sway the Emperor’s mind, which cannot be ignored. Wang Ciweng!"
"Pri Minister Qin, please command."
A round-faced elder with a goatee took a step forward, bowing his hand.
Qin Gui said in a deep voice, "On my behalf, select a fine jade or a treasure sword to gift to the Black Wind Village Chief, let him choose one, ensure it is done before he enters the capital."
"Yes!"
Wang Ciweng imdiately accepted the order.
"You may all leave now."
Qin Gui waved his hand.
Instantly, everyone bowed and slowly stepped back out of the eting room.
"Huang Shang!"
Qin Gui called out in a low voice with his hands behind his back.
"Cough cough—cough cough—"
A prolonged cough, as if from an old illness, suddenly ca from the side hall.
An old man with a hunched back slowly hobbled out from the side hall.
His few sparse hairs were all white, his face shriveled as if covered with a layer of dry orange peel, his eyes deeply sunken like a skeleton’s, yet the sharp glint in his eyes sent shivers down one’s spine.
"Stop coughing, stop coughing, you didn’t cough when I didn’t call you, but as soon as I call you, you start coughing."
Qin Gui impatiently glared at Huang Shang and snorted coldly.
Huang Shang coughed once more, breathlessly shaking his head and sighing, "Pri Minister Qin, I’ve lived for so long already, almost dying from living too long. When you don’t call , I’m like a corpse.
When you call , this nearly buried body of mine, revives.
The dead don’t cough, the living obviously do..."
Qin Gui glanced apprehensively at Huang Shang’s hunched, thin body, and snorted coldly, "I didn’t call you to argue about such things with you, the living dead. Are you truly confident in dealing with the Black Wind Village Chief?
This person turned Ying Country upside down with just one trip, now even the top experts of Jin and Liao countries are wary of him, are you more formidable than Jue Wushen to be able to handle this person?"
"Hehehe..."
Huang Shang chuckled lowly, the sound grating like wood scraping against a stone wall, his eyes sparkling with an awe-inspiring sharp brilliance as he said, "This person’s Power Realm is not high, the reason he’s hard to deal with primarily lies in the formidable Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill, which puts him in a state of almost Immortal Body.
Secondly, it’s the unknown ans of instantly doubling his power.
As long as that frightful body can be breached, dealing with him isn’t difficult."
Qin Gui snorted coldly, "You speak lightly, what ans do you have?"
Huang Shang, "My approach is quite simple...from a psychological aspect severely injure him, then use the advantage of a Divine Weapon to eliminate him. However, it is indeed extrely challenging."
Qin Gui’s eyes flickered, "The alchemy materials for your next three years will all be handed over to .
If this person really doesn’t know how to behave, I’ll have you handle him. And as for Yue Fei...."
Huang Shang interrupted, "Pri Minister Qin. You advocate for peace, I won’t interfere.
You want to deal with the Black Wind Village Chief, I can also help you.
