Early morning.

Settle in the north of the city.

The gates had not yet opened, and a procession was parked outside the city, waiting for the gates to open. There were Han Chinese, Mengyuan people, and heavily covered wagons.

In this huge stable city, there are many Han and Mengyuan people. Grain, grass and salt are sufficient, but some daily necessities are insufficient.

The city gate will be opened from time to time to receive some medicinal herbs, cloth and other items.

However, goods and personnel will be strictly checked.

Soon after, the gates opened. After the team was checked, they entered the city without any problems.

Martial law was imposed in the city, and except for a few Mengyuan people in the streets, there were only officials and Mengyuan soldiers in charge of patrolling.

Ordinary Han people are hiding in their homes, closing their doors and windows.

Even if the people's hearts are towards the Han family, there are also bold heroes among them. But they were unarmed, and there was no way to resist the powerful Mengyuan soldiers and open the city of Anding.

If you force it to do it, it will only be a pebble against a stone.

Governor's Yamen.

There were many people in the yamen, there were many officials, and the scale was huge, but they were either drinking tea or in a daze.

Originally, the Governor's Yamen was really busy.

When the five prefectures and thirty-two counties of Liaodong were in the hands of the Mengyuan people. Now even most of the cities in Huanglong Mansion have fallen into the hands of Wu Nian.

Qin Zhen became the commander of the light pole, and these officials became idle street loafers, doing nothing all day long.

Inside the study. Qin Zhen sat at his desk and read a book, looking focused on the surface, but not calm inside.

Mengyuan propaganda said that it was one win and one draw.

Jin Xuanyun led a thousand cavalry and invited the Han army.

Feng Chong met the battle, but was defeated and fled in embarrassment.

Wan Yanxian and other 30,000 households encountered the Han army in the middle of the night, and the Meng Yuan army was defeated for a while, and the princess of Zhou was injured.

It's a tie.

At present, in the Mengyuan army, the morale is not bad.

But he knew that Jin Xuanyun and Wan Yanxian were defeated.

Before the decisive battle began, Meng Yuan had already lost two battles in a row.

The strength of the Han army made him like a man. No matter what you do, eating, drinking, or sleeping, it's hard to focus.

"It's so strong. I knew it was today. I won't be this budding bird, and I'll work for the Mengyuan people. Qin Zhen shook his head with a wry smile, put down the scroll in his hand, and reached out to rub his temples.

He didn't know how many times he regretted it, but he couldn't help it.

At this moment, a servant walked in from outside, bowed to Qin Zhen and said, "Master." The county king asked to see him. ”

Qin Zhen had a smile on his face, put down the scroll, and said to the servant, "Please, go make tea." ”

County Cheng Wang Xue.

It's his student, and there's a bit of kinship. Originally, he was a showman. After he became the governor of Liaodong, he promoted Wang Xue to become the Cheng of Anding County.

The relationship between the two is very harmonious.

It belongs to the category of "filial piety".

At this juncture, everything stopped. There is no official business in the yamen, and only disciples like Wang Xue will come to him for a cup of tea, sit down, and chat.

"Yes." The servant clenched his fists in response, and turned to go down.

Not long after, Wang Xue walked in from outside with his head held high. After standing still, he respectfully saluted Qin Zhen and said, "Teacher." ”

Respect for teachers, in the details. Wang Xue was as respectful as ever, which made Qin Zhen very useful. But he still said, "Xue'er." How many times have I told you. Although I am your teacher, now we are officials in the same dynasty. You don't have to be so respectful all the time. ”

"Yes." Wang Xue responded very respectfully.

Qin Zhen was even more useful. He pretended to be helpless and said a few more words about Wang Xue. Until the servant came in with a teacup from outside.

He asked Wang Xue to sit down, and the two drank tea together and chatted. It was normal at first, until Wang Xue put down the teacup, walked slowly to Qin Zhen's side, and whispered, "Teacher." Although I have called you countless times, I actually look down on you in my heart. ”

Qin Zhen was shocked when he heard this, and raised his head to look at Wang Xue incredibly, and was about to speak.

Wang Xue shook his head lightly and said, "Teacher, don't make a loud noise, Mengyuan people have ears and eyes around you, and the wall has ears." We pretended to gossip as we talked about it. ”

"Teacher. I am a man of the King of Han. King Han said that as long as the teacher finds a way to open the city of Anding. I will spare your life, and I will not blame you for the past. ”

After Wang Xue finished speaking, he returned to his position, raised his voice to a normal level, and said, "Teacher." This tea is good. It seems to be a good tea over there in Hangzhou. ”

"Now Liaodong is occupied by Wu Nian. Our sea passage has been cut off. The good tea that the Chu State came to Liaodong through maritime trade stopped outside the Huanglong Mansion. This good tea is really rare. ”

Qin Zhen's heart was like a raging storm, his eyes showed a look of horror, and he looked at Wang Xue as if he was looking at a stranger.

This disciple who was single-handedly promoted by himself turned out to be Wu Nian's person?

Wu Nian's fine work?

Although he knows the city of Anding, no. The entire Huanglong Mansion is like a leaky sieve, full of Wu Nian's spies.

But I didn't expect it........

Qin Zhen's heart was turbulent, looking at Wang Xue's gaze, exuding endless anger, eager to devour Wang Xue alive.

This traitor, the rebel.

But he was very human after all, and after being shocked and angry, he barely managed to calm down.

"It's you. A product will come out. This tea is indeed a famous tea produced in Hangzhou. It was through the passage of the road to my hands. After all, commerce is not only about maritime trade. ”

Qin Zhen's tone was relatively calm.

"What a teacher. Even this kind of good tea can be obtained. Wang Xue smiled and complimented.

The two chatted as usual. And Qin Zhen's heart was in a struggle.

He was pointed out by thousands of people and came out to do things for Meng Yuan. All that is sought is fame and fortune. More than ten years ago.

How invincible Meng Yuan is. Ten million households went south, sweeping through the three counties of five prefectures in eastern Liaodong, like picking up things. Seeing that there is Shanhaiguan in front of me.

As long as Meng Yuan enters the customs, he will be the real emperor. He was both the Emperor of the Mengyuan Dynasty and the Emperor of the Han Dynasty.

At that time, with his own identity and status, how can he enter the court to be a scholar and a cabinet minister. So as to soar. And the descendants of Deliu are rich and long.

The invincible Mengyuan people are good Mengyuan people.

The current Mengyuan people, that's really bullshit Mengyuan people.

If Wu Nian can fulfill his promise, he will not pursue himself.

That, of course, is a surrender of the hands raised.

But here's the thing.

Can Wu Nian's promise be true?

Seriously.

Wu Nian's reputation is very good, a mouthful of spit, a nail. The imperial decree is never changed overnight.

What he said, he basically did what he said.

Therefore, it is very prestigious.

But he is a thorn in Wu Nian's side.

What if Wu Nian regrets it?
