Chapter 720: An Unstoppable Temptation
The city lord of Fengxiang brought Zhang Ning to the restaurant to meet with the envoys from all walks of life, and had already made the envoys secretly praise Ah Niu for his generosity, and now Ah Niu took the initiative to send Zhang Ning, the only one who could open the treasure, to the imperial court for disposal, clearly intending to give up the competition for the so-called Yellow Turban treasure.
Even though it was a helpless move to protect himself under pressure, Feng Xiang was not severely suppressed at present, and even the first city in the world may not have major troubles in the future. Ah Niu categorically gave up this right and offered to hand over Zhang Ning to the imperial court, and this courage alone made people have to admire it. Moreover, some of the quickest responders immediately realized that this was also a great opportunity for Feng Xiang to retreat from the rumors of the treasure and avoid becoming the target of public criticism. Fengxiangcheng's calmness and wisdom in the face of the crisis left a deep impression on them.
Fengxiang can maintain the reputation of the first city in the world for a long time, it is indeed not a fluke!
The envoy of Chang'an came back to his senses for a long time, happiness came too suddenly, where did this guy expect that he would encounter a good thing of pie falling from the sky, and asked a certain city lord in a trembling voice: "Ah Niu City Lord just said that he is willing to hand over Zhang Ning's demon girl to the imperial court?" ”
"Not bad."
The envoy of Chang'an swallowed with difficulty and continued, "What does the city lord of Ah Niu want? ”
A certain city lord smiled and said, "Why did the envoy say this? That Zhang Ning is Zhang Jiao's daughter, and you must all know who Zhang Jiao is, but any big man who catches Zhang Ning should be handed over to the court for questioning and punishment, how can he do something to take the opportunity to coerce and let the court compensate! If the envoy doesn't believe it, he can take Zhang Ning Demon Girl back to Chang'an later. ”
The envoy of the imperial court was overjoyed, before he was ordered to come to Luoyang to inquire about the Yellow Turban treasure, he thought that it must be in vain to run away, Feng Xiang only needs to deny that he can seal everyone's mouths by capturing Zhang Ning, who would have thought that Ah Niu would admit it calmly, and take the initiative to hand Zhang Ning over to the imperial court. As long as he can bring Zhang Ningshun back to Chang'an. Even if he has made a great contribution to the imperial court, if he can really pry open Zhang Ning's mouth and find out the whereabouts of the Yellow Turban treasure, then his future future is even brighter, as soon as he thinks of this, the imperial court envoy can't help but feel excited.
When the envoy of Chang'an was in full bloom. The envoys of the princes were disappointed one by one, and everyone hoped that they could bring Zhang Ning back, but Feng Xiang directly chose to dedicate her to the imperial court, although the authority of the imperial court was thinner than a piece of paper, but after all, it was still the imperial court, and it was difficult for the envoys from all walks of life to object to this. There is only one exception, and that is Yuan Shao's envoy.
"Wait!"
The envoy from Jizhou stood up and shouted loudly. Everyone's eyes suddenly moved to him, and Yuan Shaodi's envoy still failed to resist the temptation of the Yellow Turban Treasure after all.
Maybe. This is the irresistible temptation of legend.
Chang'an came to make his eyes cold. Displeased: "It turned out to be an envoy from Jizhou." Is there any objection to the city lord of Ah Niu sending the demon girl to the court for disposal? ”
Jizhou came to make a deep voice and said, "Don't dare." Zhang Ning Demon Girl is a descendant of Zhang Jiao. It is also reasonable to leave it to the court to judge the crime. But that horn was originally a giant deer from Jizhou. Zhang Ning's hometown is naturally also in Jizhou. According to the usual practice, the results should be reported to the court for decision after the local interrogation has been cleared. If you directly hand over this woman to the imperial court, you dare not to appear that the Jizhou Mansion is incompetent. Don't you know how to share worries for the court? Please also ask the envoy not to overstep his bounds. Let a certain be punished by Yuan Gong after returning to Jizhou! ”
Chang'an's envoy was certainly trembling with anger. The rest of the room was also discolored.
The envoy of Jizhou actually came up with such a reason. However, his request is quite reasonable. Of course. No one would really think that he wanted to share the worries of the court. The Han Dynasty needed the princes to share their worries and things. I usually didn't see Yuan Benchu's ambition to serve the country loyally. Now it is so urgent to be righteous and righteous. obviously wants to take Zhang Ning as his own. And ask from her mouth about the whereabouts of the Yellow Turban Treasure!
Feng Xiang couldn't pry open Zhang Ningdi's mouth. It doesn't mean that people from other places can't do it. After all, Zhang Ning and Feng Xiang have a deep enmity like the sea. Maybe it's not that much resistance if you change it to someone else! And. It is rumored that the treasure of the Yellow Turban is in the deep mountains of the giant deer. In the context of the fact that the division of the princes has become a fact. Even if the imperial court learned the location of the treasure land, it would be difficult to dig up. The princes of all sides still have some hope. But if Zhang Ning fell into the hands of Yuan Shaodi. Then everyone can wash and sleep!
No one wants to see such a situation happen, and as soon as the Jizhou envoy's voice fell, opposition arose.
Wang Kuang has always been relatively close to Yuan Shao, so the Hanoi envoy spoke relatively implicitly: "This is not a good word. Although the demon girl is originally from Julu, but her father Zhang Jiao rebelled against the court and swept the world, the yellow turban intended to overthrow the Han Dynasty, and the court mobilized elite soldiers to fight in the south and the north to quell the rebellion. ”
Ma Teng's temper was even more irritable, and he had no direct conflict of interest with Yuan Shao, and spoke unceremoniously: "The puppet is so unreasonable!" Back then, the Yellow Turban Army was not just a soldier in Jizhou, why was the Jizhou Army not as active as it is now when the chaos was quelled? It's ridiculous, the Tang Dynasty in the world! ”
The Yanzhou envoy said coldly: "Since the demon girl was arrested in Sili, she should be sent to Chang'an nearby, how can there be a reason to give up the near and far to be sent to Jizhou?" ”
The face of the Jizhou envoy changed several times, and under the surging emotions, this guy also understood that his wishful thinking could not succeed, so he snorted coldly and sat there without saying a word.
The overall situation has been decided, and no one can change the fact that the flowers have fallen in Chang'an, and the imperial envoys are excited.
He can have this opportunity, of course, he can't forget the fulfillment of a certain city lord, the court envoy stood up, and saluted Ah Niu respectfully: "I heard earlier that Ah Niu's city lord is benevolent and magnanimous, and today I see that it really lives up to its name, and after the lower officials bring the demon girl back to Chang'an, they will definitely say to the court that Ah Niu's city lord's grandeur and righteousness, as well as a piece of sincerity to the court!" I wonder if the city lord of Ah Niu has anything to say to the official to report on his behalf? ”
The envoy of Chang'an is quite good at being a man, Fengxiang City gave him a wealth for nothing, and a certain city lord may not react for a while if he is too full of words, he can appropriately put forward some "reasonable requirements" to the imperial court. As the so-called peach reciprocation, Chang'an came to make a vague reminder before leaving, no matter whether Ah Niu can comprehend it or not, he can be regarded as having done his best to be benevolent.
A certain city lord pondered for a moment and then said in a deep voice: "In this case, I bothered to make some explanations to the imperial court on behalf of Ah Niu: The demon girl Zhang Ning was captured by us and others from the ancient city of Bo, and the invincible Dongzi of the ancient city of Bo harbored the recidivism of the imperial court, and Ah Niu had no right to intervene, but he took away Feng Xiang, the deputy city lord who was in charge of the reconstruction of Luoyang, which is not only a strict insult to Feng Xiang, but also a wanton destruction of the reconstruction of Luoyang, and his behavior is despicable!" ”
"This revenge must be avenged, before my Fengxiang soldiers were in a heavy siege when they were defeated by the expedition to Bogu, Fengxiang up and down are not sad and inexplicably swear to be ashamed, and soon I Fengxiang will raise troops again to recruit Bogu, in order to rescue the deputy city lord Chen Shuo from trouble. I also hope that the imperial court will reiterate to the states and counties that they will abide by neutrality in the war between the aliens and never ...... again Violations
As soon as these words came out, not only the envoys of Chang'an were surprised, but most of the other envoys also looked different. Although the Fengxiang City Lord said that he was a little vague, but all of them were shrewd people, how could he not hear that a certain city lord meant something else - the failure of the Fengxiang expedition was not defeated by the hands of Bo Guchengdi, but by the intervention of other princes!
This is no small matter.
The envoy of Chang'an frowned, since some princes were involved, he must not get to the bottom of it in front of the public, so he said solemnly: "What the city lord of Aniu said, I will definitely explain it to the imperial court." Without further ado, I'll take Zhang Ning back now! ”
Ah Niu said: "It's getting late, why don't you wait for tomorrow to dawn before leaving?" ”
The envoy of Chang'an glanced at the envoys present and said resolutely: "The matter is big, in order to avoid a long night of dreams, I will take her back overnight!" ”
A certain city lord thought about it and said to the envoy of Chang'an: "It's okay, but there is one thing Ah Niu must remind the envoy that the demon girl is from Bogu, and the invincible Dongzi has a lot to do with her. The ancient city of Nabo and Chang'an are in Jingzhaoyin and are only more than 100 miles apart, so the envoy must not be careless before returning to Chang'an, be careful all the way! ”
The envoy of Chang'an came to look a little disapproving, he was an envoy of the imperial court, and the territory of the invincible Dongzi was right at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and it was expected that the invincible Dongzi would not dare to be so bold. What he is really worried about is not Bo Gucheng, but whether the princes from all walks of life will rob and kill halfway, the attraction of the Yellow Turban treasure is too great, and he insists on rushing back to Chang'an overnight because he doesn't want to give the princes from all walks of life the opportunity to transfer troops, as long as he doesn't delay on the road, there shouldn't be any problems.
"Thank you, Lord Aniu, I'm going to leave!"
Finished, strode out.
After the imperial envoys left, the envoys of the princes from all walks of life were a little stunned, they came to Luoyang to check whether the rumors of Zhang Ning and the Yellow Turban treasure were true, and now the imperial envoys returned with a full load, but they could only look at it, and the loss in their hearts could be imagined.
A trace of coldness flashed in the eyes of the Jizhou envoy, and then he stood up and said to a certain city lord: "Ah Niu City Lord, the matter here has come to an end, and I still need to go back to Jizhou to return to Yuan Gong, it is really inconvenient to continue to stay in Luoyang to disturb it, if I have another chance in the future, I will come to ask Ah Niu City Lord for a few glasses of water and wine!" ”
Ah Niu smiled faintly and said, "It's easy to say, I heard that Duke Yuan and Gongsun Taishou are fighting fiercely, so it's good to go back early." Say hello to Yuan Gong on my behalf, there are still guests here, and Ah Niu won't send them. ”
The farewell of the Jizhou envoy soon triggered a chain reaction, he had not yet walked out of the restaurant, and the rest of the envoys got up to say goodbye to Ah Niu, and a certain city lord politely said no more after a little retention, and let them leave.
After a while, only Ah Niu and Chen Gong were left in the originally lively restaurant, and the two ministers looked at each other and smiled.
"Lord, his subordinates should go and inform Li Erxia and ask him to lead someone to secretly follow the envoy of Chang'an."
"Well, if the people of the imperial court can bring Zhang Ning back to Chang'an safely, unless Zhang Ning is taken away by other princes, the second brother must not act rashly, especially not to reveal his identity. In any case, it must not be us to snatch back the demon girl directly from the hands of the court envoys! ”
Chen Gong nodded, "Li Erxia has always been calm, the lord can rest assured." The lord should go to Jin Ge Iron Horse and ask him to help spread some news so that other strangers will know. ”
A certain city lord laughed, "That's exactly what I mean!" (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to 6, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading.)
