"And close to the emperor, but also so that the spies lurking in the court of the Zhou State will not find out the true relationship between the Ming and Zhou countries? Not only do you not let the spies find out the real relationship between the two countries, but you also want the spies to think that the alliance between the two countries is about to break down? ”

Baili Wuji said appreciatively: "Wang Shizhong's reaction is indeed quick. Baili Wuji has changed his name to call Wang Pu Wang Shizhong, because he believes that Wang Pu will inevitably agree to his plan.

Sure enough, this time Wang Pu did not protest, he just continued to ask: "Since the alliance between the two countries is about to break down, how can the emperor respond to your request and act as a bait with you?" ”

Wang Pu asked the point, Baili Wuji smiled, and said: "It is precisely because the alliance between the two countries is about to break down, and it is impossible to resist the Liao State with the strength of the Zhou State alone, so that my second brother will make this proposal known to the court, discuss how to negotiate with the Ming State, and try to make up for the rift between the two countries, and meeting with me is the best way to solve the relationship between the two countries." So, the Emperor of Zhou handed over a letter of state to invite the Emperor of Ming to meet, and the location was chosen in Yanyun. ”

Wang Pu objected, saying: "If the spies are suspicious, why did the two countries choose Yanyun to meet? ”

"Although Yanyun belongs to the Ming Kingdom, there is a gap between the Ming Kingdom and Yanyun from the Zhou Kingdom, and the selection of Yanyun is to make the Ming and Zhou countries relatively reassuring." Baili Wuji said without thinking.

Wang Pu nodded silently, although this plan is crazy, but the current situation is so dangerous that he has to use a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

"How can you guarantee that Yan Yun will definitely be able to withstand the full force of the Liao Kingdom?"

Baili Wuji smiled: "This is top secret, you will know it in the future." I can only say that I am not sure of victory, but I can definitely be invincible. ”

Wang Pu said: "So. I have one last question. ”

"Just ask."

"Do I still need to go back to Jinling?"

"Uh......." Baili Wuji obviously didn't think about this problem, the Jinling Post House bloody case and Wang Pu pretending to defect to the Ming State caused the Ming and Zhou countries to fight each other, so as to deceive the Liao spies in the Ming and Zhou courts, and then Wang Pu approached Chai Rong, passed on his letters, and then made Chai Rong afraid of losing the support of the Ming State. and willing to be aggrieved and hope to meet with the emperor of the Ming State to mend the relationship between the two countries, and Baili Wuji reluctantly agreed to this request, but for the sake of safety. The location was chosen in Yanyun.

The Liao spies sent the information back to Shangjing, and Ye Lujing, the Liao Muzong should have been attracted by the huge bait, so he sent the Liao army around Shangjing. At the same time, the Liao army, which was at war with the Ming and Zhou, was dispatched. With an all-out blow to Yan Yun, even if he can't capture the two emperors alive, he can take advantage of the situation to occupy Yan Yun, and at the same time take advantage of the situation to pursue the two emperors who fled south, so as to herd the Central Plains.

At this time, Wang Pu's task had actually been completed.

Baili Wuji twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "This question should be asked to my second brother. ”

Baili Wuji's words were cleverly answered, Wang Pu was a minister of the Zhou State. Now it's pretending to take refuge in the Ming Kingdom, and the mission is complete. Naturally, Zhou Chen's identity should be restored. But there is one thing, even if this matter is done, if Chai Rong has a grudge, then if Wang Pu stays in the Zhou State, he will achieve nothing.

This is not to say that Chai Rong is narrow-minded, but that no emperor can tolerate a person who betrays him, even if he pretends to betray him. Who can guarantee that there will be no moment when this betrayal is actually done?

Wang Pu thought about it for a while, and then figured it out, the meaning of Baili Wuji's words was very clear, "If he wants to keep you, you will stay, if he doesn't keep you, you should naturally go back to Jinling." ”

Wang Pu said: "In this way, the foreign minister tried his best. ”

Baili Wuji said: "No, it must be successful." ”

Wang Pu immediately knelt down and said with a full salute: "Follow Your Majesty's will." ”

Baili Wuji's heart surged, Wang Pu's kneeling expressed his determination to become benevolent if he didn't succeed, but according to the plan set by Baili Wuji, Wang Pu was in danger, at most he endured the cold words of the monarchs and ministers of Zhou, as long as Wang Pu handed over the letter to Chai Rong, then at least Chai Rong should believe in Wang Pu's loyalty.

But Wang Pu's kneeling now made Baili Wuji worry about variables in his heart.

"Wenbo, no matter what the final situation is, I hope that you will live."

"Yes." Wang Pu replied expressionlessly.

……。

Five days later, Wang Pu's carriage entered Kaifeng Mansion.

From the moment he entered the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, Wang Pu knew that this trip would definitely not be easy. Even the soldiers of the Zhou army guarding the city gate could see that there was a strong hostility.

Perhaps, the news of his betrayal of the Zhou State and his defection to the Ming State has already spread to every street and alley in Kaifeng Mansion.

Sure enough, when entering the street leading to the palace in Kaifeng Mansion, rotten vegetable leaves, rotten eggs, and even stones rained down on the roof of the carriage.

The sound of "crackling" has been accompanied by Wang Pu to Honglu Temple.

When the officials who received Wang Pu saw Wang Pu's arrival, they all avoided it like a plague, and no one received him.

Wang Pu waited from noon until it was dark, and no one paid attention to him.

The hunger in his stomach was unbearable, so Wang Pu had to go back to the street, planning to go home first to eat his stomach.

After turning a few streets, he came to his own house, Wang Pu did not have a family, and there were only a few servants in the house, but when he came to his house, Wang Pu was stunned, and the door of the house had been sealed.

It is difficult to return to a home and a country, although Wang Pu is prepared, he still underestimates it.

Fortunately, there was a carriage, otherwise Wang Pu would have to sleep on the streets.

Wang Pu turned to the main street again, intending to buy some food and drink.

Unexpectedly, there was not a single wine store or inn on the street that was willing to receive him and sell him food.

Wang Pu, a literati, couldn't make an arrogant move, so he had to withdraw under the drive of the Hakka, and at this time, Wang Pu woke up to the fact that he wanted to see Chai Rong, and it was probably not easy.

Now the identity is different, as an envoy of the Ming Kingdom, if he is not received by Honglu Temple, he will not be able to let Chai Rong know his arrival, let alone get close to Chai Rong, so how to complete the task of Baili Wuji?

Wang Pu thought about it for a long time, and thought that the only possibility was to stop Chai Rong when he was out on patrol outside the palace. But this method is not only dangerous, but the emperor can not meet but not ask for something when he goes on patrol, how can he do what he wants.

In desperation, Wang Pu had no choice but to endure hunger and sleep in the carriage for one night.

After sleeping until dawn, Wang Pu got out of the carriage, only to find that the horse was gone.

Looking around, he saw pedestrians coming and going, but they all avoided his carriage.

Wang Pu naturally understood in his heart that the horse was obviously stolen by someone with a heart, but now, even if he reported to the official, I am afraid that no one would pay attention to it, so he went to try his luck outside the palace gate, and maybe he could meet the emperor on patrol.

But how could there be such a coincidence, Wang Pu waited for a day, and he couldn't even get close to the palace gate. Seeing that it was getting late, he had to go back to the door of his sealed house and prepare to spend another night. (To be continued......)
