Hou Mansion, above the lobby.

"What? Not here yet? Is this a deliberate attempt to snub the messenger of the Son of Heaven?! ”

Zhang Ji put his hands behind his back and spoke coldly.

Behind him, a servant stood, respectfully explaining something.

But Zhang Ji didn't seem to listen, just scolded a few words impatiently.

He was originally a eunuch who served the emperor in all his daily lives in the palace.

And it is also one of Cao Cao's important insiders who stayed in the palace.

Dedicated to monitoring all people who come into contact with the Emperor.

With these two points, he can be regarded as calling for wind and rain in the palace.

All the attendants, including some officials, were very good at currying favor with him.

But just a few days ago, he received a secret order from Cao Cao to come to Jingzhou to deliver the edict of the Son of Heaven.

And his main task is to find out the details of Jingzhou's troops.

Especially the three armies established by Xu Tianxin, it is necessary to investigate everything clearly.

For this reason, Cao Cao also specially gave him a military talisman, saying that he could command any army in Jingzhou.

For Zhang Ji, who has been in the palace all the year round, Cao Cao's intentions don't need to be thought about at all, he knows that he wants to make a move on Jingzhou.

So let yourself create a reason for him.

And for this kind of thing, Zhang Ji can be said to be easy and without pressure.

But what he didn't expect was that no one greeted his arrival.

also let himself stand here and wait for the other party for nearly an hour.

This made his anger burn constantly, and over time, it almost overwhelmed him!

…

looked at Zhang Ji, who was obviously getting more and more impatient in the hall.

Xu Tian, who was standing outside the window, chuckled lightly and glanced at Shen Du beside him.

"What do you think?"

"It's not good! Looking at the way he looks, he obviously doesn't take this place seriously! ”

Shen Du withdrew his gaze from the hall and said in a low voice.

"I guess I'm here to find trouble! Ostensibly, it was to convey the edict of the Son of Heaven.

But everyone knows that behind him is King Wei!

Lord, this matter must be handled with care! ”

Hearing Shen Du's words, Xu Tian chuckled lightly and looked at Zhang Ji in the hall again.

"Almost, let's go!"

…

Above the lobby, Zhang Ji was really angry and kicked over the table in front of him.

"It's good to be so snub to the messenger of the Son of Heaven! I'll let you know the consequences of doing so! ”

Zhang Ji gritted his teeth and said.

With a cold snort again, Zhang Ji shook his sleeves and prepared to leave.

Just as he turned around and was about to leave, Xu Tian appeared in front of the lobby door on time.

"This is..."Xu Tian's gaze fell on the overturned table in the hall, and he said puzzledly.

"Hmph..."Zhang Ji snorted coldly, staring at Xu Tian with an unkind face.

"The prince is so snub to the messenger of the Son of Heaven, if he can't give a reasonable explanation.

Then when I return to the palace, I will tell Your Majesty the truth!

I just hope that when the time comes, the prince will not blame it! ”

After speaking, Zhang Ji put his hands behind his back and looked to the side.

The disdain is palpable.

"Quench your wrath! It's so angry! Xu Tian smiled and said with his fists clenched.

"Knowing that the envoy is coming, how dare you slack off!

It's just that I'm afraid that my subordinates will not be sensible, and the arrangements will not be in place, and I will neglect the envoy.

Therefore, everything is in the next place, and I will arrange it in person.

Including the food and drink of the envoys, the residence must be handled in person, otherwise how can it be reflected in the sincerity?

That's why it's a little late, and I think the envoy must be able to understand the sincerity of the next one, right? ”

With Xu Tian's words, the look on Zhang Ji's face gradually softened.

It wasn't until Xu Tian finished speaking that he snorted lightly and walked into the hall again.

"I'm not the kind of person who is unreasonable, and since the prince is so sincere, then I can't say anything.

I just hope that this kind of thing will not happen again in the future! ”

After speaking, Zhang Ji took out the edict from his arms and handed it to Xu Tian, with a strange smile on his face.

"Now, I'm going to congratulate the prince!"

Xu Tian's eyes flashed, he took the edict and slowly opened it.

Just a moment later, he put down the edict and opened his fist to Zhang Ji.

Your Excellency has worked hard, so please go to the accommodation arranged for you to rest first.

Subsequently, a banquet was placed below to wash the dust for the honorable envoy! ”

"This is not necessary, before coming here, the emperor specially ordered.

Let me go to Jingzhou, and I must sincerely learn from the prince.

In particular, the emperor heard that the three armies newly built by the prince and the prince were brave and good at fighting, and they were extremely brave.

Therefore, I should live in the barracks, so that I can better contact the soldiers.

Learn everything about them, and wait until you go back to report to the emperor!

I know this may be abrupt, but we all have to do our best to carry out the order of the Son of Heaven, don't we? ”

Zhang Ji smiled slightly, looked at Xu Tian and said lightly.

After hearing the other party's words, Shen Du almost couldn't help but step forward and beat him up.

Especially when he saw his arrogant expression, Shen Du couldn't control his strength.

Xu Tian did not change at all, and still maintained a polite smile.

"However, the conditions in the barracks are limited, and it may be inappropriate for the envoy to go.

If I neglect the envoy, I can't afford it! ”

"It's okay!" Zhang Ji waved his hand casually.

"The emperor asked me to come, it is to learn and practice.

Only by experiencing it in person can you better complete the tasks assigned by the emperor!

So, you don't have to take care of me, just follow the rules of the barracks!

How the soldiers eat and live, so do I!

Remember, everything is based on His Majesty's orders! ”

As he spoke, Zhang Ji chuckled inwardly.

The reason why he swore by this was because he had already inquired.

Xu Tian's army treatment was extremely good, especially the Shadow Guard Mansion.

It is said that the treatment of the soldiers there is even comparable to that of some officials in the court.

As long as he enters the barracks, he can complete the tasks assigned by Cao Cao.

Touching the talisman in his arms without a trace, Zhang Ji felt more at ease!

"Since the Envoy insists on this, then do as you wish.

Obey the rules, and you are personally responsible for the food and daily life of the envoys.

Remember, be hospitable, don't be sloppy! ”

Shen Du clenched his fists when he heard this, and when he looked up at Xu Tian.

He clearly saw a hint of mockery flashing in Xu Tian's eyes.

Shen Du was so smart that he immediately understood what Xu Tian meant.

Turning around, he respectfully took Zhang Ji to the Shadow Guard Mansion.

Zhang Ji was very satisfied with Shen Du's approach.

Before he even made a request, the other party had already done it.

It seems that this guy is more sensible than that Xu Tian...

……

Gangneung, inside the General's Palace.

Cao Ren looked at the letter in his hand and frowned slightly.

"Why did the emperor suddenly send someone to inspect the troops?

And you specifically asked me to go, what does that mean?

Behind the emperor stood the King of Wei, could it be that the King of Wei meant?

Are you suspicious of me? No! No way! ”

Cao Ren muttered to himself and shook his head.

I must have thought too much, but no matter what, I have to go to Xiangyang immediately.

At the same time, you can also see how Xu Tian copes...
