Yuan Bolang stayed in Jiankang City for a total of nine days, and in the first eight days, except for two negotiations, he had nothing to do for the rest of the time, so he could only stay in the post house. Until the ninth day, the third negotiation took place.

The third negotiation was surprisingly smooth, Yuan Bolang, who had been hanging for many days, thought that King Huai lacked the sincerity of the negotiation, but who knew that King Huai once agreed to all the requirements issued by the imperial court, and urged the imperial court to send the lord of Min County back to Huaidi as soon as possible. The bottom line was not touched, so Yuan Bolang made his own opinion, and even waived asking the new emperor for instructions, and directly signed an armistice agreement with Huai Minister Meng Chuliang.

The envoys left Jiankang City without stopping and went back to report to the emperor. On the last day of October, Yuan Bolang arrived in Xuzhou City and couldn't wait to enter the palace to face the saint.

"Yuan Xiangguo, are you in Jiankang City, have you seen General Liu?"

Seeing Yuan Bolang, the new emperor didn't have the slightest news about the outcome of this negotiation, or cared about him, and asked Liu Wenyan's whereabouts with a face.

Yuan Bolang had long wanted to question the man surnamed Liu, why the information given to him was not comprehensive, so that he was like a bird locked in a cage in Jiankang City, and he didn't know any news from the outside world, and he was still not sure of the whereabouts of Lord Min.

"Your Majesty, Liu ...... The general is not in Xuzhou City? ”

"No, I really don't know where he went." The new emperor said worriedly, "Originally, I thought he would be with Yuan Xiangguo, it seems that ...... Alas! What's that, what's going on? ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has something unclear, can the emperor explain the minister's doubts?"

"Huh?"

"Su Min, where is she now?"

Su Yan thought about it for a long time, and said uncertainly: "Imperial sister." Isn't she with you? Didn't General Liu let you send it? ”

Yuan Bolang was shocked beyond measure. The Son of Heaven didn't even know the whereabouts of Lord Lu Daomin?

"Your Majesty. When the minister was in Jiankang, he heard a news, saying that Zhao Min was rescued by someone sent by the rebel king, and asked someone to hear the news by secret letter, but there has been no news, is this true? Yuan Bolang asked hurriedly.

"Letter? Where is the faith? I haven't seen it. Su Yan was surprised, "Did you lose the letter on the way to the message?" ”

Yuan Bolang was extremely angry in his heart. Originally, Liu Yu also told him how tight the intelligence network arranged by the imperial court in Jiankang City and how well-trained the intelligence personnel were, which also made him feel at ease. At that time, he was stupid and didn't believe in it. Now it seems that the cobwebs are not as good as the intelligence web, and even a secret letter can't be transmitted, if the two sides are fighting, isn't it a tragic loss in the intelligence link?

"Your Majesty, did Liu Wenyan abscond in fear of crime?"

Su Yan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, but he still said with a puzzled face: "What Yuan Xiangguo said, I don't understand it. General Liu. Did you commit a crime? ”

Yuan Bolang knew that the new emperor had great trust in the surname Liu, and the whereabouts of the surname Liu were unknown at this time. He said that the new emperor would not listen. Hastily reported the negotiations, Su Yan didn't listen too attentively, and waved his hand to stop Yuan Bolang from continuing.

"Yuan Xiangguo, I can't remember if I say too much. It's better to leave this matter to you. ”

Rao is Yuan Bolang still respects the new emperor, and he almost threw the collegial letter on the ground and became angry when he heard the words.

Now the new emperor actually wants to leave it alone, and King Huai over there is in a hurry to ask for someone! But he didn't even know where the county lord of Namin was, if this matter was not resolved, what was the point of asking him to go all the way to Jiankang to negotiate with so many conditions before?

The King of Huai wants to retaliate, the Huai army will be more powerful in attacking the city, and the city of Xuzhou is in danger! But the new emperor doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all.

Neither is it. The new emperor is still very anxious, but he is anxious to know the whereabouts of Liu Wenyan.

"Your Majesty, before Liu Wenyan left, he didn't reveal his whereabouts at all?"

The whereabouts of the lord of Min County The new emperor doesn't know the way, and the person surnamed Liu must know the way, so he can only find the kid first and then ask for someone.

Su Yan said unhappily: "Yuan Xiangguo, I want you to help find General Liu, but you are asking me to raise someone." You...... Forget it, whoever calls the master is so important, everyone wants to find him. If Yuan Xiangguo has the whereabouts of General Liu, he will definitely inform me as soon as possible. ”

Yuan Bolang suddenly felt very powerless. Now he felt like a chess piece, being played around, and the person who manipulated the chess piece behind the scenes disappeared for no reason. Could it be that the purpose of his disappearance was to let the new emperor stay in Xuzhou City with peace of mind and take risks?

Yuan Bolang left the palace and immediately summoned the civil officials of Xuzhou City to inquire about Liu Yu's whereabouts, but there was no news at all, only that Liu Yu wrote a letter to the new emperor a few days ago, but unfortunately I don't know who the sender was and where Liu Yu wrote it. Yuan Bolang went to find Qu Zhu, the presidential leader of the Royal Forest Army.

"Right phase? Although the official position of the subordinate is not as high as yours, as a military general, it seems that you don't have to make any explanations to you. ”

Yuan Bolang couldn't help but be angry when he heard this, although Qu Zhu spoke politely on the surface, his speech and demeanor had been contaminated with Liu Wenyan's bad habits, that is, there was no one in his eyes! If you are a military general, who dares to be so polite in front of him, it must be that the official doesn't want to be an official. But there is nothing he can do about Qu Zhu.

Yuan Bolang said angrily: "It's not okay to ask you about a person? ”

Qu Zhu spread his hands helplessly and said: "General Liu and General Xu are in a hurry, and they really didn't explain to the lower officials, so the lower officials can't do anything." ”

This kid must have known what he wanted to say, and Yuan Bolang continued to inquire with such thoughts. If you can't find Liu Yu, you always have to find out the Lord Min and hand it over to King Huai, but unfortunately even the Lord Min seems to have evaporated from the world.

The next day, Yuan Bolang was still waiting for news in the hotel, and he saw Min Shaoqing coming in in a panic, as if something big had happened.

"Did the Huai army come over?" Yuan Bolang got up and pulled Min Shaoqing's sleeve and asked nervously.

Min Shaoqing was stunned, he clearly remembered that Yuan Bolang said yesterday that he had negotiated the conditions for the dismissal with King Huai.

"Why did Xiangguo say this? It was the envoy of King Huai, and Meng Chuliang, the minister of Huai, brought people to meet him outside the city, saying that he wanted to take the lord of Min County back. ”

Yuan Bolang was stunned: "Come so fast? So fast, so fast......"

Min Shaoqing saw that Yuan Bolang was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and felt that this scene was a little familiar, and when he thought about it, when the new emperor was anxious about General Liu Wenyan Liu, he didn't look like an ownerless?

"Xiangguo...... Is this to let them into the city? ”

"Into the city? What to do in town? See us jokes? Yuan Bolang vented out the anger he had received in the past two days, and he felt inappropriate when he said this, if he didn't let the envoys of King Huai enter the city, it was obvious that he was telling King Huai that there was something greasy about it, and the battle would start when Huai Xiang went back.

Yuan Bolang stopped Min Shaoqing, who was about to leave: "Min Taishou, let their envoys come in, you are responsible for entertaining, take them to see the scenery of Xuzhou City first, and then come to negotiate twice, just say that some details of the last negotiation have not been implemented, and some content needs to be added." Just dry them for three or five days, and the old man will give them an explanation. ”

Min Shaoqing looked puzzled. Isn't the negotiation over? Still want to talk? What to talk about?

He looked stunned and puzzled, but he still had to do it, this was an order issued by Yuan Xiangguo, the head of the world's ministers, whether it was right or not, it was not his turn to question it. In the past, he had the final say in Xuzhou City, but now he doesn't know who has the final say.

Yuan Bolang sulked on the side, he felt more and more that he was walking on the road to the kid surnamed Liu, and slowly learned to play a scoundrel. (To be continued......)
