In the blink of an eye, an hour passed.

Two hours passed.

By noon, the head of the Dengzhou Mansion still hadn't come.

The centurion was a little anxious, and hurriedly asked, "Lord Yu, the other party hasn't come yet, what's going on?" ”

Yu Xuekui didn't know it in his heart, but years of calmness made him patient and continued: "Wait a little longer, don't worry." ”

The centurion had no choice but to stand next to Yu Xuekui with peace of mind and wait quietly.

That's it.

Another hour passed.

Two hours.

Three Hours......

The sky is getting darker.

In the blink of an eye, it was already evening, and Yu Xuekui still didn't wait for the general of Dengzhou Mansion.

The centurion couldn't help but say, "Lord Yu, he still hasn't come." ”

Yu Xuekui didn't speak, just closed his eyes slightly and continued to wait.

Another hour passed.

Still didn't wait......

The centurion's heart sank slightly, as if he had realized something.

He looked at Yu Xuekui and exhaled a touch of turbidity: "Lord Yu, don't wait, they may not be able to come." ”

"We may have been tricked."

Yu Xuekui shook his head stubbornly: "I'm waiting." ”

The centurion couldn't say anything, so he could only continue to accompany Yu Xuekui and wait quietly here.

That's it.

Another hour passed.

Two hours passed.

Until late at night, waves of guests came, but Yu Xuekui never saw the person he wanted to see.

This made Yu Xuekui's face extremely tired.

His old face showed tiredness, his eyes were vicissitudes, and he looked at the centurion behind him and said, "The chief general of Dengzhou Mansion, he won't come, right?" ”

This is a sad question.

Yu Xuekui's tone trembled a little.

The centurion felt sour: "Lord Yu, let's go, he won't come." ”

Yu Xuekui retracted his hand into his sleeve, resisting the cold wind of the night, and muttered in a low voice: "Wait, wait......"

The hope in the old man's eyes was being extinguished little by little.

Endless hope brings only endless disappointment.

The centurion couldn't bear to look at Lord Yu like this, his eyes sharpened, and he turned around and quickly walked out of Huaiqing Tower.

About half an hour later.

The Centurion is back.

In his hands, he carried a human head.

The head of the man, with long hair, had a beautiful face, but the face was stained with bright red blood.

The human head was thrown directly to the ground by the centurion and rolled to Yu Xuekui's feet.

The centurion was covered in blood, holding a spear in his hand, looking at Yu Xuekui, and smiling bitterly: "Lord Yu, she played us, and I cut off her head." ”

This little concubine didn't tell the general of Dengzhou Mansion at all.

Instead, he directly gave the gold, silver and jewelry to the ink.

took the money but didn't do anything, and deserved to end up like this.

Yu Xuekui looked at the head under his feet in a daze, at this moment, his first feeling was not fear, but desolation, sadness, and worry.

Hope is completely lost.

This little concubine deceived them......

The chief general of Dengzhou Mansion will not come again.

If you can't convince the general of Dengzhou Mansion, how can you convince the King of Han, at that time, won't the Ming Dynasty want to start another war, and the people will be wiped out again?

The example of 100,000 people being slaughtered in Qingzhou will be repeated......

Thinking of this, Yu Xuekui burst into tears.

He knelt down, looked in the direction of Ying Tianfu, used all his strength, and shouted: "Emperor, old minister Yu Xuekui, ashamed of the Ming Dynasty and the people of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

It took more than ten days in Shandong, but there was not even a single breakthrough.

This not only gave the imperial court hope in vain, but also delayed the time for the imperial court to prepare.

Seeing that the old man was so persistent, the centurion couldn't help but hurriedly stepped forward to help him: "Lord Yu, it's not your fault......"

Yu Xuekui was in tears, and he was extremely worried about the fate of Daming in the future.

He knew that he couldn't continue to spend money in Dengzhou Mansion, and since Dengzhou Mansion didn't work, he had to go to Qingzhou......

And Qingzhou, the king of Han sat there.

Yu Xuekui took a deep breath and said in a tired tone: "Let's go, let's go to Qingzhou." ”

"Do you want to go to Qingzhou?" When the centurion heard this, there was some surprise in his eyes.

None of the Han king's subordinates succeeded in persuading him to surrender.

went to Qingzhou, but I was afraid that the hope would be even slimmer.

And with the murderous temper of the King of Han, Yu Xuekui went to Qingzhou, and the King of Han is very likely to kill Yu Xuekui to vent his anger.

So, the centurion's heart was full of worry.

"Go, we must go." Yu Xuekui said in a deep voice.

Even if there is really a war, Yu Xuekui will go!

Because he wants the people of the world to see that the court has really worked hard for this!

So, he had to go!

It's hard to come here, but it's impossible to return in vain.

The centurion gritted his teeth: "Okay." ”

After that, the centurion took Yu Xuekui into the car, and the escort team was about to leave Dengzhou Mansion overnight.

Once Han Zhen, the lord of Dengzhou, found out that his concubine was dead, then no one could leave.

The garrison of Dengzhou Mansion saw that someone was leaving late at night and immediately blocked it.

At the gates of the city, a war broke out.

The centurion took Yu Xuekui and fought bloodily out of Dengzhou Mansion, and then headed in the direction of Qingzhou.

After leaving the gate of Dengzhou Mansion, Yu Xuekui turned his head and looked at the huge Dengzhou Mansion, revealing endless loneliness in his vicissitudes of life.

He is still learning, can he turn the tide for the Ming Dynasty?

It's just that no matter whether he can turn the tide or not, Yu Xuekui is ready to do it.

Even if King Han doesn't surrender, he will cut off one of King Han's arms!

……

The capital, Ying Tianfu.

It has been half a month since Yu Xuekui left the capital.

The princes of the Manchu Dynasty, while preparing for war, were also waiting for the news of Yu Xuekui to come.

The people are looking forward to Yu Xuekui bringing back the good news and successfully persuading the Han King to surrender and avoid the Ming civil war.

However, this matter is far from being as simple as it seems.

Yang Shiqi's Mansion.

At this time, Yang Shiqi, who had just left the court, was dressed in court clothes, and before he could take off his court clothes, he heard someone visiting outside the door.

The housekeeper went outside to inquire for a while, and when he came back, he hurriedly said, "Master, it's Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials who is here." ”

Righteousness?

They have a good relationship with Wenchen in private, so when they heard that Jian Yi was coming, Yang Shiqi smiled and said, "Hurry up and make a pot of tea, I want to have a chat with Master Jian." ”

Seeing that the old man was so interested, the new housekeeper of the Yang Mansion also hurriedly ordered his subordinates to make tea.

Not long after, Jian Yi was invited to Yang Shiqi and sat in the small pavilion with Yang Shiqi.

Yang Shiqi picked up the tea and poured a cup for Jian Yi, with a faint smile on his face: "This is the Longjing before the Ming Dynasty, try it." ”

Jian Yi was slightly surprised: "Longjing before the Ming Dynasty? It's good tea. ”

Say it, Jian Yi took a sip slightly.

Bitter, sweet taste with an endless aftertaste in the mouth.

It's just that Jian Yi's face was a little stunned.

He sighed, looked at Yang Shiqi and said, "Although the tea is delicious, I still have something hidden in my heart." ”

Yang Shiqi smiled: "King Han rebelled, who can be steady, if you can't sleep steadily, I can't sleep well." ”

Jian Yi bowed his head, and there was a little worry in his expression: "This time, do you think it is possible for Scholar Yu to persuade the King of Han to surrender?" ”

When Yang Shiqi heard this, he sighed slightly, and his mood for drinking tea suddenly deteriorated.

He looked in the direction of Shandong and shook his head slightly: "Difficult!" ”

"King Han is obsessed, and all he thinks about is the throne, how can he be willing to surrender."

Jian Yi thought so, and nodded: "Yes." ”

After a pause, Jian Yi smiled bitterly: "Obviously there is little hope, Scholar Yu has to go to ......"

Yang Shiqi laughed dumbly.

At this point, Jian Yi is not as good as Yang Shiqi, a super cabinet member.

Yang Shiqi can see it far farther than Jianyi.

After a pause, Yang Shiqi spoke: "Scholar Yu knew that it was difficult to persuade the King of Han, but he still had to do it, and there were two reasons for this. ”

Jian Yi was surprised: "How do you say this?" ”

Yang Shiqi sighed lightly: "First, what if the persuasion is successful? ”

"Second, even if the persuasion is not successful, the scholar Yu will occupy the righteousness!"

"The king of Han raised an army, Fengtian was difficult, and claimed that the prince and the grandson bewitched the emperor and controlled the imperial court, but now that the imperial court has sent people to negotiate, if the king of Han beheads the scholar Yu, is it a loss of righteousness?"

"Who's right and who's wrong, isn't it clear at a glance?"

The voice fell.

Jian Yi was shocked, he looked at Yang Shiqi, and muttered: "If you don't succeed, you will become benevolent, it turns out that Scholar Yu has already planned it." ”

In his heart, he was in awe.

Yang Shiqi looked in the direction of Shandong, and was also in awe, and muttered: "From the day Scholar Yu left the Beijing Division, it was destined that the imperial court would definitely have a harvest. ”

"Either occupy the righteousness, or succeed in persuading the king of Han to surrender......"
