Chapter 314 Zuo Yuan rejects the holy decree
After three rounds of wine, it is inevitable that the lord of the immortal residence, Zuo Ci, will entertain all the distinguished guests, and this hall can be said to be a group of heroes, all of whom are highly respected.
Immortal is the main seat, headed by the master Zuo Ci, sitting Han Rong and Zhang Zhen, all of whom are famous for a while, and then Wang Ji, Guoyuan, Gongsun Fang, is Zheng Xuangao, the president of Zheng's Publishing House.
On the other hand, there is no weakness in terms of prestige, Yang Ci is the leader, Ding Yuan sits on the lower seat, behind him the god general Lu Bu, and the young general Zhang Liao are all heroic and handsome, and then Wang Yun's father and son, even the left and right entourage are majestic and mighty.
After drinking for a while, Yang Ci put down the wine glass and smiled slightly and said, "The layman is in my Han ~ The reputation is heavy, it can be said that it is the trend of Mount Tai Beidou, although I Yang Ci came to discuss important matters on behalf of the court today, but also respects the layman, but later but there is disrespect, I hope that the layman will not blame."
"You are guests from afar, and there are more virtuous ministers like Yang Gong and Ding Tingshi, although I am the lord of the immortal residence, but I am just a mountain and a wild villager, and I don't care about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, not to mention the worldly things in the court, I just want this place to be safe, nothing else, as for the affairs of the court~ I really don't want to ask now~~~" Zuo Ci's calm face did not fluctuate at all, just corresponding.
"Hehehehe~~~ Don't reject people thousands of miles away, and listen to me finish talking before it's too late" Regardless of how the people of Xianju reacted, he waved his hand behind him.
Immediately, a guard took out a scroll from the package, Yang Ci opened it carefully, and read softly, "This is the will of the Holy Lord today, and the layman is a person outside the party, so you don't have to kneel to listen to the holy decree~~~ Just sit in place and listen to the old man's recitation."
Zuo Ci smiled and nodded, and did not say anything else, as for the others, they were even more indifferent, in their eyes, the emperor was nothing more than a slightly more powerful person in the world, for them who only recognized their reputation, the prestige of the emperor today was not as good as the person sitting opposite, so naturally there would be no respect.
Yang Ci didn't say much when he saw this, but the guards behind him showed anger, but he didn't dare to make a mistake, these are all powerful people, I am afraid that one finger can kill himself, who dares to go wild here?
"Ahem~~" cleared his throat and said, "Proud Xianju, prestigious, layman Zuo Ci, the peak of virtue, the turmoil in the current dynasty, when the only use, I hereby recruit the monk Zuo Ci into the court, the position of the national division to be treated, and the subordinates are all named generals, the old site of the immortal residence I ordered to rebuild the city, and when there is a day to return to the first, it will be returned to everyone, and the purpose is to follow the line." Chin this. ”。
Yang Ci finished reading it in one breath, slowly rolled up his hand and handed it forward.
The hall is silent, the meaning of this holy decree is extremely obvious, enter the court, occupy the city, nominally a vassal, in fact, the land of the immortal residence is confiscated and requisitioned, saying that it will be returned on the day of return, but everyone knows that it is impossible.
"Hehehe~~~ Yang Gong is done with business, let's talk about private matters~~~" Zuo Ci didn't even glance at Yang Ci's hand stretched out in the air, and directly changed the topic and said.
"What do you mean?" Yang Ci naturally couldn't help but ask.
Zuo Ci's thin figure slowly stood up, stepped in front of Yang Ci, stretched out his hand to take the holy decree, and said with a smile: "The old man is old, useless, and he is not interested in the position of a national teacher, and his only interest is self-cultivation, so I will understand the emperor's kindness, if I have to seal a name such as a national teacher, I can't hide it, but I don't want to move this old bone, Yang Gong can tell the current emperor when he goes back, and he will say that even if the old man dies, he doesn't want to leave."
"Why should the layman be so stubborn?"
"Why is Yang Gong so persistent" Zuo Ci sat back, his face was still so peaceful, as if nothing had happened at all, not even a trace of fluctuation.
Yang Ci sighed, "Okay~~~ Since this is the case, the old man will reply to the emperor like this, as for private matters~~~ The layman should know something."
"Of course, since Yang Gong wants to see flesh and blood, how can I stop it~~ Come and invite Wen Xian's father and son over."
"Yes" Deputy Bai Peony personally went to invite someone, and after a while, he brought two people to the hall, it was Yang Biao and Yang Xiu, the father and son who had defected before, and at this time there was no longer the joyful atmosphere in the hall just now, and the air was filled with tension.
Yang Biao's father and son couldn't help but be stunned when they stepped in, and when they saw Yang Ci sitting on the side, Yang Biao didn't show too much excitement and enthusiasm, but his expression turned cold.
"How~~ Are you still blaming me?" Yang Ci asked.
"Being your son is something I can't choose, but I want to choose my own path, why are you trying to force me?"
"You also said, as my son, you don't have a choice, go back with me, the court is already fine, there will be no trouble for anyone to find you, and the rest ~~~ I will naturally arrange it for you."
"What does this mean? Woo me? Or pity me? I don't need to, I'm living a very good life now, it's very comfortable, I feel more comfortable living away from there, it's not for me, I'd rather stay here".
"That's good~ You stay and ask Xiu'er to go back with me, this is my last bottom line."
"Why can't you just let us go, what do we owe you?"
"Because you are a member of the Yang family, you have to shoulder this responsibility, okay~~~ You pick one, do you go with me, or ask Xiu'er to go back with me."
Yang Xiu didn't understand what they were talking about, as for the old man in front of him, he hadn't even seen it, but from the words, he could tell that this person was his grandfather, and he was here to find them now, but his father didn't want to get involved with him.
"Father, why don't you go back with Grandpa?" Yang Xiu asked this question.
"Because it's not for us, and it's not for you."
"Where is it?".
"Where is the Longtan Tiger's Den, the bottomless abyss, which will devour people's minds and turn people into walking corpses, it is not a normal world, you shouldn't have that kind of life" Yang Biao didn't want to explain too much, so he could only describe it abstractly.
"Then let's not go, and grandpa shouldn't go back, okay?"
Yang Biao sneered a few times, shook his head and said, "Some people are destined to survive for that side, and your grandfather is that kind of person, and now I have to make such a choice."
Yang Xiu didn't understand, but he knew that he shouldn't ask any more, because his father's expression was very painful, and this must be a very difficult choice.
"You've got it all figured out!" Yang Ci asked again.
"I'll go with you~~~".
"Very good, let's go" Yang Ci got up, nodded to Zuo Ci, didn't say anything more, and went straight out of the hall, and the entourage and others naturally followed behind, and finally Wang Yun, father and son, slowly stood up and said goodbye to Zuo Ci and the others one by one.
"The two of you can send it to me, Yang Gong came from afar, we can't be out of courtesy," Zuo Ci said to Han Rong Zhang Zhen next to him.
"That's ~~ The owner can rest assured, Zhang Jushi doesn't have to get up, just leave such a trivial matter to the old man" Han Rong smiled and replied with a big package.
At this time, only Ding Yuan and others were left in the guest seat, although Yang Ci and others left, but he was still drinking alone like no one, and only then did he say to Lu Bu, "Fengxian~~ You accompany Han Jushi to send it away, don't worry here."
Seeing Lu Bu and Han Rong walking out together, Zuo Ci looked at Ding Yuan and said, "Ding Thorn History~~~ You won't have any objections to the decision made by this sect, right?" ”。
"Dissent? The old man didn't pay any attention to this matter at all, or it can be said that the owner's decision was exactly what the old man wanted."
Zuo Ci smiled slightly: "Is Ding Tingshi worried about Lingzi?" ”。
"The old man, the righteous son, has been very independent since he was a child, and I don't have to worry about his affairs at all, what I am talking about is that the immortal dwelling of the master is blessed, the terrain is extraordinary, and at the intersection of the place, and the border with my state, this kind of terrain is rushing, if it falls into the hands of others, I will have trouble sleeping."
"Oh? Could it be that being taken over by the imperial court will also make Ding Tingshi uneasy? Zhang Zhen on the side asked.
Ding Yuan laughed and said, "The Imperial Court~~hahahaha~~~ It's not that I'm disrespectful, is the current Imperial Court still worthy of the Han Dynasty?" I'm afraid that even the layman also knows that I Ding Yuan is not a pedantic person, I can sacrifice everything in order to serve the Han world, but it is not my wish to sacrifice in vain, Xianju is a kind of heavy land, I think there will be many people who will try their best ~ to get it to be willing, it was really taken back by the court, and I don't know how many people will fight for it, so I think it is more secure in the hands of the owner~~".
"In this case, the old man thanked him first, but Ding Thorn Shi will not be so simple, right?"
"The layman is really happy, and the old man came this time to talk about cooperation with the owner, which can also be said to be an alliance."
When Zhang Zhen heard this, he asked with deep interest: "What is the deep meaning of this alliance that Ding Tingshi said, you might as well talk about it."
Ding Yuan stood up and walked to the hall and proposed, "I can provide the ten years required by the immortal residence, which will be delivered in three times within a year, and I will send craftsmen here to build an outer city for the immortal residence, and finally provide five thousand armor soldiers to help defend the city, the owner of the residence can rest assured, I will choose single people for these armor soldiers, and there will be absolutely no concern, and this group of people come here to obey the arrangement of the residence owner, even if you immediately order them all to be beheaded, I will not ask."
After Ding Yuan said these three conditions, even Zhang Zang, who had always been calm, was secretly surprised, this was a great price, not to mention ten years and five thousand armor soldiers, the manpower and material resources used to build the outer city alone were not a small amount, it can be said that a city was built on the ground.
Zuo Ci was silent for a while after hearing this, then nodded and said, "Ding Thorn History is so expensive, I don't know what to do with my immortal residence?" ”。
"The layman filtered~~" Ding Yuan stood still, looked at Zuo Ci, and said solemnly, "I only need a promise from the owner."
"What does Ding Tingshi want the old man to promise?"
"Within ten years~~~ Xianju only needs to help me protect Bai Cang and not let him be harmed, I don't know if the owner can agree?".
