Chapter 134 The Biggest Backhand
Mature, noble, cool and elegant.
These are all synonyms for Wu Zetian.
"Everyone, how about we raise our glasses together and toast His Majesty?"
Jiang Mingche picked up the wine glass and looked around at everyone present, then made a direct proposal and winked at Wu Zetian at the end... Jiang Mingche had never seen Wu Zetian drink before, and was somewhat curious about how well this woman could drink.
"Yes, let us raise our glasses together to toast Her Majesty the Empress of the Tang Dynasty..."
As soon as Jiang Mingche's proposal came out, it was immediately agreed by everyone present.
Everyone stood up from their seats and began to toast Wu Zetian.
Wu Zetian looked at Jiang Mingche deeply, her eyes full of warning, indicating this guy not to mess with her at this time.
Then he raised his glass and drank together with the envoys from various countries.
Although she seldom drinks, she is not a total abstainer.
If Jiang Mingche wanted to take this opportunity to test her alcohol tolerance, he would probably disappoint her.
"Your Majesty, I am here to represent the Xuanyong Qin State to attend your country's International Lantern Festival. The King of Qin asked me to bring some Xuanyong gifts..."
"Your Majesty, please accept it..."
Dongfang Jing stood up from his seat, bent down slightly, and spoke in a cold tone.
Even when facing Wu Zetian, she still looked cold, like an iceberg that had existed for thousands of years.
"Since the King of Qin has this intention, I will not refuse..."
"Please bring the gifts up, Miss Dongfang..."
Wu Zetian said with a faint smile, she was also a little curious about what Ying Zheng would give her.
Dongfang Jing nodded slightly and shouted towards the door of Qianqing Palace.
A group of soldiers in official uniforms carried the tribute from the Xuanyong Qin State directly into the hall.
The box containing the tribute was placed directly in the center of the hall.
"Open......"
After Dongfang Jing gave the order, the soldiers opened the box.
After a flash of brilliant golden light, a box filled with beautiful glass jade appeared in front of everyone.
"Your Majesty, the King of Qin asked me to bring you a top-grade earth-level sword, ten healing holy medicines, ten stalks of heavenly fragrant grass, and a piece of earthly evil stone..."
Dongfang Jing opened his mouth slowly and introduced the contents of the box to Wu Zetian.
"Thank you, King Qin, for your concern..."
Wu Zetian nodded and ordered the soldiers to carry the box back to the side hall.
Earth-class weapons, healing elixirs, heavenly herbs, and earthly evil stones...
Wu Zetian was also a little surprised, because these were all priceless things that were in short supply.
Why did King Ying Zheng of Qin give her so many good things?
The Xuanyong Qin State was far away in Jixia, and had no trade relations with the Tang Dynasty, let alone any political relations such as marriage.
She herself had no friendship with Ying Zheng, so why did this guy suddenly give her so many good things this time?
Wu Zetian narrowed her eyes slightly and began to think quickly in her mind.
She didn't believe that Ying Zheng gave her so many things at once and said he had no ulterior motive.
After Dongfang Jing left, the others began to present the tributes they had brought.
Although they are not as valuable as the weapons and elixirs brought by Dongfang Jing, they are not ordinary items either.
Wu Zetian accepted it all and the smile on her face became even bigger.
With this wave of tribute from envoys from various countries, her treasury can be filled again.
The reception banquet for the International Lantern Festival was in full swing. Wu Zetian was in a good mood and drank a lot of wine.
Although Jiang Mingche also drank a lot of wine, he used his internal energy to dissolve all the alcohol as soon as it entered his stomach.
He did not forget that the crazy woman Haiyue might come over tonight.
Maybe there will be a big battle waiting for him tonight, so he must keep his mind clear at all times.
"My Lord Regent, I offer you a toast..."
Zhuge Liang, who was sitting next to Jiang Mingche, raised his glass and toasted Jiang Mingche.
"please......"
Jiang Mingche did not refuse and drank the wine in the glass.
"Regent, I heard that you participated in the Guixu Dream Performance at Jixia Academy some time ago, won first place, and successfully climbed to the top of the Tower of Babel?"
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Zhuge Liang began to chat enthusiastically with Jiang Mingche.
He had heard this news when he was in Yicheng.
He also heard that Jiang Mingche had killed Cao Cao in Wei capital, replaced him, and ascended the throne as emperor in Wei capital.
The country's name was changed to Yunhuang, and the first year was called Xuanji.
When Zhuge Liang first heard the news, he was also shocked.
Others may not know how powerful Cao Cao is, but he is very clear about it.
As Cao Cao's old rival, Cao Cao's army was defeated several times by his strategies.
Cao Cao trained a group of blood-sucking blood clans in the Wei capital to fight against him.
Moreover, Cao Cao himself made a deal with Xu Fu and turned himself into a vampire.
With the support of Xu Fu and the army of blood clans, Cao Cao already has the potential to dominate the Three Kingdoms.
He was originally a bit troubled about how to deal with Cao Cao, but he didn't expect Jiang Mingche to kill the entire blood clan army with just one sword... Even Cao Cao and Xu Fu all died under his sword...
This information was brought back by his spies stationed in Wei capital.
When Zhuge Liang first heard the news, he was so shocked that his scalp went numb and it took him a long time to digest it.
"Yes, I did successfully reach the top of the Tower of Babel..."
Jiang Mingche nodded and admitted it directly.
This matter has become known to everyone, so there is no need for him to deliberately hide anything from Zhuge Liang.
"I wonder if the Regent could tell Zhuge what is on the top floor of the Tower of Babel?"
After hesitating for a while, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
As a former student of Jixia Academy, Zhuge Liang naturally knew about the existence of the Tower of Babel.
He also won the first place in the Guixu Dream Performance Competition that year and was qualified to enter the Tower of Babel.
However, he was not as amazing as Jiang Mingche, and could only reach the 50th floor.
When he reached the fiftieth floor, he faced a diamond-level demon.
At that time, his cultivation level was only Platinum 2, so he could naturally not be a match for the Diamond Demon.
The 50th level is the diamond demon species, and the 90th level and above are the star-level demon species.
Since Jiang Mingche was able to pass through the Tower of Babel, he at least had the strength to kill the Star-Shining Demon Species.
Moreover, there is an age limit for the Tower of Babel, and the maximum age is no more than twenty-two.
At the age of twenty, he can kill the Star-Shining Demons...
Just thinking about it, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but shiver all over, and cold sweat began to seep out of his back.
Facing such a heaven-defying existence as Jiang Mingche, it would be impossible for Cao Cao to win.
“There is the Storm Dragon King and the Sky Road on the top floor of the Tower of Babel… Jiang Mingche glanced at Zhuge Liang and said casually.
"Storm Dragon King, Heavenly Road..."
After hearing Jiang Mingche's words, Zhuge Liang fell into silence for a long time.
Jiang Mingche didn't say it explicitly, but how could he not hear it?
Since Jiang Mingche was able to reach the top of the Tower of Babel, it means that he has defeated the Storm Dragon King and climbed the Heavenly Road that only exists in legends...
A self-deprecating smile appeared on Zhuge Liang's face and he sighed imperceptibly.
Before hearing about Jiang Mingche's deeds, Zhuge Liang felt that he could be called a rare genius.
After all, he is the almighty disciple of Jixia Academy, and his skills in magic are unfathomable.
When he was studying at Jixia Academy, countless female students wrote him love letters.
At the age of 24, he was able to break through to the diamond realm directly, and was appointed as a military advisor by Liu Bei, the lord of Yicheng, to plan for the world.
But in front of Jiang Mingche, this so-called all-round genius is nothing...
All his pride was shattered by Jiang Mingche's casual words...
"The Regent is indeed a man of genius. Zhuge admires him..."
After a long silence, Zhuge Liang adjusted his mentality and then spoke with some sigh.
He secretly made up his mind that after returning this time, he must stop Liu Bei from attacking Yunhuang Kingdom.
When Jiang Mingche had just left Yunhuang Kingdom, Yunhuang Kingdom fell into a brief period of chaos because it had no leader.
At that time, Liu Bei wanted to capture the Wei capital while Jiang Mingche was away, but fortunately he was stopped by him.
Not to mention whether Liu Bei could really capture the Wei capital, even if Liu Bei really snatched the Wei capital from Jiang Mingche, his final fate would probably be the same as Cao Cao's.
Although Yicheng has many good generals, there is no one like Xu Fu.
The final result will only be more tragic than Cao Cao...
In response to Zhuge Liang's praise, Jiang Mingche just smiled faintly and didn't say much.
Even if he knew Zhuge Liang's true thoughts, he would not take it seriously.
He is just a small Liu Bei. If he really dares to provoke me, I don't mind sending him to see the Buddha.
The banquet was in full swing, everyone was toasting each other, having a great time.
However, because Wu Zetian was present, no one dared to talk about sensitive topics. They just laughed and smiled, appearing very restrained.
Outside the city of Chang'an, there are hundreds of thousands of mountains, on top of the mountain.
"The International Lantern Festival during the prosperous Tang Dynasty was really lively..."
"But all this will eventually become a dream bubble..."
Haiyue looked at the Chang'an City below her feet and spoke in a cold tone.
Every word and action directly determines the fate of Chang'an City.
Destroying a city, this kind of thing is something Haiyue is very familiar with...
Before Jiang Mingche went to the Cloud Desert, she had already taken action against various countries in the Cloud Desert in order to find the person who possessed the True King's mark.
Jade City, Jinting City, Qianku City, Lanling Ancient Kingdom...
Without exception, all these countries were destroyed in her hands.
Because of her selfish desires, countless people became homeless and lived a wandering life.
"Have you activated the chess piece you placed in Chang'an City?"
Retracting her gaze, Haiyue turned to look at Ming Shiyin standing beside her.
"The chess pieces I left in Chang'an City have now been put to use..."
"As long as I give the order, the chessboard will cover the entire Chang'an City..."
Ming Shiyin nodded slightly and spoke respectfully.
This was also the biggest backup plan he had made during all these years in Chang'an City.
"very good....."
"Then follow me into the city..."
"Let despair cover the entire Chang'an City, and let these foolish humans die in this beautiful and illusory fantasy..."
