"General Huan, where is Ye Tianlong?" Liu Ju rolled his eyes, glanced around, and said slowly.

The armor soldiers beside him raised their eyebrows and were murderous, and one of them pressed the long sword in his hand and took a step forward, as if as long as Liu Ju gave an order, he would kill Huan Yuan and the others on the spot.

Without waiting for Huan Yuan to speak, Liang Xiao took a step forward and said without humility or arrogance: "He was insulting and insulting the envoy, and he was killed by us." ”

"Who are you?" Liu Ju's face was slightly red, his eyes narrowed, and the fat on his face trembled. "What messenger, the warrior who dares to kill me?"

"Naturally, he is an envoy of the imperial court." Yan Zhu held the Hanjie in his hand, stepped forward slowly, and stood in front of Liu Ju with his head held high, his waist straight. "Wu County is strictly assisted, and under the edict of His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, mediate the disputes between Minyue and Donou, and ask His Royal Highness Prince Wu for his well."

Liu Ju's eyes flashed slightly, and he turned to sneer: "I didn't expect that His Majesty the Emperor still remembered me, the prince of Wu, I am really grateful." ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a personal vendetta, instigating Minyue and Dongou to attack each other, killing each other with the same clan, and the people are miserable, even if His Majesty the Emperor does not care about the prince, he must also care about the King of Minyue. For so many years, he didn't report to the court that the prince was here, so he didn't know what his intentions were. ”

Liu Ju's face twitched, and his expression was a little unnatural. The matter of his lurking in Minyue has always been known only to the former subordinates of Wu State, and the people of Minyue also know some, but they are limited to high-ranking officials loyal to the king of Minyue, if the news reaches the ears of the Son of Heaven in Chang'an, his good days will probably come to an end.

Liu Ju's tone was obviously a little weaker, but he refused to stop there. "Then how did my men insult the messenger? What did he say? ”

Yan Zhu snorted disdainfully: "He can't speak official language, how do I know what barbarian language he says." But. He was not polite to my squire, Officer Lang. It would be enough to kill. ”

Liu Ju's eyes widened. "Poor manners. For sin and death? So if you are disrespectful to me now, can I kill you too? ”

"If you are still the prince of Wu, of course you can kill me for disrespect. It's a pity ......" Yan Zhu smiled slightly. "Wu Guo has been dead for more than ten years, and now you are under the fence, but you are just a lost dog, what qualifications do you have to kill me? If you kill me, Min Yue will wait to bury me with you. As for the king of Minyue, why didn't he come out to greet him. Could it be that there is no court in his eyes anymore? ”

In the end, Yan Zhu was already full of voice and awe-inspiring.

Liu Ju was stunned by him, his black face was purple, and his fat fingers pinched and put and pinched, but he didn't dare to raise his order.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the life of the lost dog is not easy, right?" Yan Zhu slowed down his breath and said with a smile: "I see that in your situation, I am afraid that not only can I not talk about the prestige of the prince. It's not even as good as a rich man. How many years have you been using this jade belt? It's time for a new one, and the hooks are broken. It's a pity that I came before. The Son of Heaven doesn't know that you are here, otherwise, he will definitely reward you with a few new brocades and a few jade belts. ”

Liu Ju was embarrassed, and covered his belt hook with a weak heart.

Seeing that Yan Zhu seized the initiative in a few words, and embarrassed Liu Ju, Liang Xiao couldn't help but secretly admire. Although Yan Zhu is not a gentleman, his eloquence is first-class and good, and he can't accept it. The Son of Heaven sent him as an envoy, which can be regarded as knowing people and making good use of them.

……

Liu Ju was folded by Yan Zhu, and his momentum was frustrated, so he had to send someone to lead Yan Zhu and others to rest first. He left Huan Yuan alone.

"General, what does this mean, why did you bring the envoys of the imperial court here?" In front of Huan Yuan, Liu Ju regained the majesty of the crown prince and did not hide his anger. "Ye Tianlong is my subordinate, I trust the general, so I asked him to assist the general, but the general sat back and watched him be killed?"

"Ye Tianlong was killed, and the minister is indeed responsible. However, he charged the messenger and must die. ”

"Why?" Liu Ju took a deep breath and slowly spit it out, his stubby fingers slowly tapping on the hilt of the sword.

Huan Yuan bowed and saluted, and said earnestly: "Your Highness, do you want to occupy the Huiji?" ”

Liu Ju was stunned for a moment and hesitated for a moment. "Of course I want to, who wants to send people under the fence and eat the food that comes from them."

"That's the best and last chance. The minister retreated, and asked the prince not to miss the opportunity. ”

Liu Ju looked at Huan Yuan, and his thick lips squirmed for a moment: "General, why do you say that?" ”

"Your Royal Highness, the minister traveled to Huainan and Jiangdu this time, and went deep into Chang'an, and heard a lot of news. One of the most important pieces of news was that the imperial court had loosened its control over the princes and kings, and they had given great respects to their relatives. After all, His Royal Highness is the bloodline of the Liu family, if you can take this opportunity to write to the imperial court, I implore you to return to the sect ......"

"What do you say, let me bow to the enemy?" Liu Ju was suddenly angry, and he stood up, his face flushed.

"Your Highness, this is an expedient measure. bowed his head for a while, in order to get a name, and no longer sent people under the fence. Even if you can't restore the state of Wu, if you can get a marquis, it's better than being a prisoner, right? With titles and fiefs, His Highness has a foundation. ”

Liu Ju's eyes flashed, and his anger turned into joy. "That's ...... Will I be able to occupy the auditorium? ”

Huan Yuan hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Liu Ju immediately became happy, got up and turned around in the tent, thinking about the scene after getting the meeting. After a while, he turned around again: "Will the imperial court be so generous?" ”

"Winter is coming, the princes and dynasties are about to be, if you can take this opportunity, send envoys to Chang'an, make friends with the powerful, dredge the joints, express the heart of Xianghua, and ask for the seal. If it can be granted, then the state of Wu can be restored. If the court doesn't allow it, we have nothing to lose. At least a few months can be bought to calmly manage the land that has already been occupied. After that, it is peace and war, and it is up to me to advance and retreat. ”

Liu Ju nodded again and again. "General Huan, you go and talk."

Huan Yuan hesitated, but did not refuse, and bowed down and responded: "Huh." ”

……

Yan Zhu sat in the tent, Liang Xiao and Wei Qing sat opposite him, and Qin Ge stood guard outside the tent, not letting anyone approach the big tent.

"Two, now that we are in danger, whether we can survive from death depends on the next confrontation. I hope that you can give your full support and work together to complete this task. After returning to Beijing, Suke will definitely ask for credit for the monarchs in front of His Majesty. ”

Liang Xiao and Wei Qing glanced at each other, bowed down and said, "I am willing to serve Yan Jun." ”

Yan Zhu nodded with satisfaction. "Liang Jun, Huan Yuan is your master, has he ever revealed any thoughts?"

Liang Xiao thought for a while: "I don't quite guess my master's intentions. However, I am sure that he would like the restoration of Wu. It is definitely impossible to restore the Wu Kingdom back then, what he wants should be a place to meet and let Liu Ju have a place to live. ”

"Where will it be?" Yan Suke's eyes flickered. "If he doesn't get the Huiji, he will only give him the lord of the Marquis and a county, will he stop?"

Liang Xiao was stunned and looked at Yan Zhu in surprise. Listening to Yan Zhu's meaning, at least Liu Ju can be named Hou. Is this Yan Suke's idea, or is it the bottom line that the Son of Heaven gave him in advance? ――
