277, into the city!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ah Cha took Zuo Xiang and explained a lot while walking.

Even Zuo Chug, who had been following them all along, was a little moved.

It is a blessing for the people to have a goddess who cares about these people.

He used to follow Tuoba Jun's side, and he had seen many orders, actions, and actions of many superiors.

But only the goddess has the most genuine care and love for the people.

He was fascinated for a moment when he thought about it, and he didn't even notice that Ah Cha was calling him.

"Zuo Qiuge, you take Lord Zuo Xiang to rest first, and I have to walk here again."

Ah Cha knew very well that the arrival of Zuo Xiang meant that she had to complete the handover of affairs in the fiefdom as quickly as possible, and then devote all her energy to dealing with the internal turmoil in Daxing in the future.

So she wanted to go around and check the situation of the people carefully before leaving the fiefdom, so that she could give Zuo Xiang more details when he handed over.

Zuochug, though not quite aware of her thoughts, quickly guessed her intentions.

"Yes, my subordinates will lead Lord Zuo Xiang back to the house first."

But it was said that at the same time as the left minister returned home, the right minister's men also sneaked into the city.

An hour ago, in the army of the right minister.

"My lord, there is an emergency in Beijing!"

The secret guard cultivated by the right minister hurriedly came to report with the news, which made the right minister suddenly dissatisfied.

"What kind of body are you so flustered about!"

"What emergency can Kyochu have that makes you so careless!!"

The dark guard who was suddenly screamed like this was stunned in place, and he didn't react for a while.

But the complexion of the right phase changed again, and the previous gloom disappeared, replaced by a gentle face.

"Bring the news, this official is good to see."

The dark guard was silently shocked in his heart by the speed of the right phase's face change, but the action of handing over the news did not stop.

After the right minister took the news and looked at it, his gentle face was immediately broken, and his face was full of hideousness.

"How can it be!"

"What does your majesty mean by that?"

"Send the old puppet of the left minister to the fief, and in the name of taking over the affairs of the fief!"

"Zuo Xiang, the old horseman, is also shameless, and he dares to carry the coffin to his post with a swagger!"

"As soon as their monarchs and ministers sang and harmonized, it seemed that I had done something sorry for them in the fiefdom!"

The sound of the right minister's complaint echoed throughout the camp.

The staff and the deputy general who were originally called for questioning quietly exchanged glances, and they both saw happiness in each other's eyes.

Fortunately, it was the left minister who was sent by the emperor to take over the affairs of the fiefdom, and if it was replaced by someone else, their plan to oppose the right minister might be difficult to implement.

It's really not that they say that the level of madness of the right phase these days is not ordinary outrageous.

Today's right phase can completely do it from time to time to convulsions, and then try his best to embarrass everyone around him, and finally find a way to kill everyone.

The right minister is still proud, and he is not aware of his own problems at all.

For example, now, after the right minister finished complaining, he set his eyes on them, and made it clear that he wanted them to detoxify the news.

The staff secretly pursed their lips, but still stood up, pretending to be flattering.

"Master, maybe you're overthinking."

"The subordinates thought that His Majesty had already abandoned him by sending the left minister to take over the affairs of the fiefdom."

"There were originally only two prime ministers in the DPRK, and when the left prime minister was still in the DPRK, he relied on himself to enter the court as an official first, and used his own power to suppress you everywhere."

"Later, you were sent to encircle and suppress the thieves, and Zuo Xiang was even more jealous in his heart."

"But what a holy king Your Majesty is, he has long realized that Zuo Xiang is dissatisfied, so he found a reason to send him out of Beijing."

"Think about it, after you return to Beijing, you can be regarded as a complete one person in the court above ten thousand people, who will not be respectful when they see you?"

The staff's words kept swirling in the right minister's mind.

The right phase sounds very cool, but it always feels like it is cpu.

With the last trace of incomprehension, he asked the question in his heart, "But Your Majesty handed over the fief to Zuo Xiangguan, isn't this a disguised pressure on me?" ”

The corners of the staff's mouth twitched.

It's rare for the right minister to be so self-aware.

So much so that he didn't know for a while whether to praise the right minister or complain about the right minister.

But of course he won't say these thoughts in his heart, and the words that should fool the right minister should still come in handy.

"Master, you're worried again."

"Now that the fiefdom has been disturbed by thieves like Tuoba Jun, and as a result, this flood has been experienced, and now the people in the city must be panicking, and the people are scrambling to escape."

"Prime Minister Zuo himself is also very aware of His Majesty's suspicion of him, so he deliberately carried the coffin to his post, in order to let His Majesty see his determination clearly."

"Zuo Xiang's task seems to be impossible to complete, and when you return to Beijing, Master, His Majesty has specified that he will give you a reward, so what else do you have to worry about?"

The staff member's words were finished, and he was very emotional when he saw the right prime minister's face fall into contemplation.

Just now he almost believed himself as he spoke, if it weren't for his strong self-control that made him restrain the urge to laugh, I'm afraid that the current right minister would have doubted him a long time ago.

I have to say that his prediction was correct, pertinent, and realistic.

The current right prime minister is thinking about how to seize power after he returns to Beijing.

He was ready to take advantage of the absence of the left prime minister in Beijing and the fact that the left prime minister's forces were leaderless to vigorously expand his power.

Of course, all these beautiful thoughts in his heart were displayed through the corners of his lips that were getting bigger and bigger.

Thinking about the end, he could clearly feel a warm current running through his body, which made him excited.

He was very efficient, and immediately picked up the pen and wrote the letter.

"The first letter, you go and pass it to our people at the border."

"The second letter is a basic explanation I gave to you who stayed in the fiefdom, but don't open it until you have to."

"The third letter is very simple, you just need to pretend to go to the city and hand it over to the enchantress."

Hearing that the right minister was about to leave the fiefdom, and he could find so many things for them to come out, the staff was even more unhappy.

Reluctantly, he took the letters and weighed them in his hand.

"Master, don't worry, I will complete the things you explain as quickly as possible, but the time for you to return to Beijing is ......"

The time for the right prime minister to set off was already half a day before the deadline demanded by the emperor.

Hearing him say this, the right minister also reacted suddenly.

"Yes, it's time for the officer to go."

For some reason, a good sentence came out of his mouth with a little sadness.

But before the staff could think about the deep meaning of the right minister's words, they heard a hearty laugh.

"Hahaha!"

"After the official leaves for Beijing this time, Zuo Xiang will no longer be the opponent of the official!"

"This official wants His Majesty to remove him!"

The staff stood stunned and didn't say a word.

He really almost pulled out a set of three bedrooms and one living room under his feet.

The right minister used to please the emperor, and when he ascended to a high position, he was also a brave and resourceful person, why did he become so greasy all of a sudden, and he said something that was not mainstream to cheer.

The smugness of the right minister was not answered, and he turned his gaze at them.

"You haven't spoken, do you think that this official is not worthy of calling the wind and rain in the court?"

Listen to how outrageous this is.

The staff and the adjutant had no choice but to shake their heads and give their attitudes.

Especially the staff, he continued to remind: "Master, you see that the carriages and horses outside are already waiting, is it time to leave......

When he said this, the right minister finally came back to his senses.

"Okay, then the official is on his way!"

"In the future, the army will be handed over to you to take care of together!"

"Don't forget to send a message back to Beijing at any time to tell you about the situation in the army!"

……

In the face of these nonsense in the mouth of the right minister, the staff really wished that there would be a ball of cotton in their ears.

Fortunately, the right minister didn't last long, and hurriedly boarded the carriage back to Beijing.

Looking at the distant shadow of the carriage, the adjutant general looked sideways at the staff.

"Do we need to send someone to deliver a message to the goddess now?"

"Go and send it now, lest the right minister send someone to send some outrageous orders halfway through."

Others may not understand the character of the right minister, but the staff can be said to understand him thoroughly.

The right minister is suspicious and fickle, and it is common to change orders and add tasks temporarily, in order to avoid the right minister from doing some new moths, it is better to contact the goddess as soon as possible.

The adjutant general did not question his words, but immediately sent people.

But out of consideration for not knowing Ah Cha, he didn't let these people go directly to negotiate with Ah Cha.

"When you arrive in the city, you will first observe the situation of the goddess, and then explain your intentions."

As a result, Khat received two messages at the same time.

"Goddess, the right minister has already left for Beijing."

Ah Cha nodded and did not speak.

"He left his staff and adjutant generals in the army to manage affairs."

As expected, Ah Cha didn't say much.

"But the deputy general of the right prime minister sent someone to deliver the news, and the person is not far away, do you want to see it?"

At first hearing this, Ah Cha's eyes widened in surprise and asked again in disbelief.

"Are you saying that the lieutenant general who supervised the army sent by the right minister sent people to deliver the news?"

Zuochug shrugged and nodded.

To be honest, he was also confused when he first heard the news.

He really couldn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of these people under the right phase and the right minister.

And Ah Cha pondered for a moment, and after a brief contemplation, his eyes flashed with a dangerous light.

"Since everyone is here, let him come."

She wants to see what bad ideas are brewing in the right prime minister's gang then.

"I've seen the goddess."

Ah Cha looked him up and down.

This person is quite polite, and he looks upright, indeed like a person who came to deliver serious news.

She didn't bother to sell it, so she asked straight to the point.

"Tell me, what did your master send you to see the deity for?"

"My master wants to bring the whole army to surrender to the goddess, and send his subordinates to ask the goddess's opinion in advance."

Well?

He couldn't tell Ah Cha what he said.

Didn't you say Toucheng?

Why do you still bring a notice first, and then claim to be a subordinate, and ask for opinions by the way?

The atmosphere of Toucheng is here, what opinions do you still need to ask?

However, as has always been the case, the process of the inquiry is essential.

"Come to Toucheng to show your sincerity to the deity."

"Don't worry, my master has already prepared." As he spoke, the guard took out a small token from his bosom, "This is a token that only the right minister's cronies have, and the master asked his subordinates to present it to the goddess." ”

Ah Cha looked at the small token and was stunned for several seconds.

I want to send myself away when I put together a token.

"Is this the sincerity of your master?"

The guard shook his head, not vaguely, and then took a letter from his sleeve and offered it respectfully.

"That token is just a little bit of the master's heart to the goddess, and the content of this letter is the master's true sincerity."

Okay, okay, Ah Cha admitted that she was brutally manipulated by the master in the mouth of this guard.

It's rare to meet someone who can predict her prediction, and she is still a little curious.

She opened the letter with a bit of amusement, but the more she looked at it, the heavier her face became, and by the end it was so black that ink was dripping.

"Zuochug, you take this letter, quickly go and verify the contents of the letter!"

"As for this guard, it's going to be detained for the time being!"

The guard spread his hands, and there was no surprise at all.

He dared to say that every step that was happening now was under the speculation of the right minister's staff, even the reaction of the goddess.

When he left the army, his staff specially explained that in the face of the goddess, he must talk less nonsense, show his attitude more, and then follow the requirements step by step.

Now that the effect has been achieved, he is also happy to be temporarily detained.

But there was no panic in his heart.

Not for anything else, but the staff said that the goddess would accept their surrender after verification.

Seeing that the guards were escorted down, Zuochug was finally able to ask questions.

"Goddess, is there anything wrong with this guard? Why do you need to temporarily detain people? ”

"There's nothing wrong with this guard, but the master he talks about, that is, the staff of the right minister, is not an ordinary person."

"The sincerity given by this aide is evidence of the right minister's specific sphere of influence and the right minister's collusion with enemy countries at the border pass."

"And he made it very clear that the right minister had already ordered the men at the border gate to start moving, and the time when the news was sent away was just an hour ago."

Ah Cha also spoke heavily.

How could she not see that this was a staff member threatening herself with the activities of the right minister at the border gate.

It is said that there must be a demon when things go wrong, and in her opinion, the motivation of the staff to surrender is a problem that she urgently needs to figure out now.

"Zuo Qiug, you sent someone to find out, what happened in the right prime minister's army in the past few days? even let the staff of the right minister not hesitate to betray his master to come to surrender. ”

Regarding the strange behavior of the right minister's staff, Ah Cha still had some doubts in his heart.

It's so undeserved.

Whoever comes to surrender will believe it, but she can't believe it only because of the most trusted person who follows the right minister.

The hard days of the past were over, and she couldn't figure out the slightest reason why her staff could surrender.

Thinking of this, Ah Cha felt that he should still ask Zuo Xiang.

No matter how you say it, the left phase and the right phase have been old rivals for many years, and they must know the people around the right and right phases very well.

With such thoughts, she didn't stay long, and when she returned home, she found Zuo Xiang.

At the first sight of the left minister, she handed over the letter and the token from the right minister's staff.

"Left Prime Minister, this is sent by his staff after the Right Prime Minister left."

"I want you to see if there's any fraud in it?"

Zuo Xiang accepted the letter with a puzzled face, but returned it to Ah Cha with a smile on his face.

"Goddess, I've already seen it, and there's no deception in this."

Yes???

Now Ah Cha is completely confused.

No, her instincts have always been accurate, so she wouldn't misunderstand the mind of an enemy staff member.

It just so happened that at this time, the left chuck came.

"Goddess, I have already found out, this surrender is the result of the discussion between the right minister's staff and the deputy general."

"They really can't stand all kinds of stupid behaviors after the right minister came to the fiefdom, and they also realize that the general trend of the right minister has gone, and the soldiers in the right side of the army and even them are not good."

"That's why they decided to come and surrender."

Ah Cha could hear it.

She hadn't thought that there were so many reasons for this.

However, she didn't have much contact with the right minister in the past, and she didn't know whether to accept their surrender in front of her, so she could only turn her eyes to the left prime minister for help.

"Goddess, I suggest that you accept their surrender." The left minister touched his beard and explained with a smile, "The right minister's staff are not very good, if you don't accept their surrender, they will also cause some new trouble." ”

Ah Cha understands the truth, but she also has doubts.

"What if they turn around and backstab us after accepting their surrender?"

Now the process of accepting any group of people is simple, and that is to open the gates of the city to them directly after confirming their sincerity.

When they entered the city, the fish swam into the sea, and no one could say what they would do in the city.

And they are about to return to Beijing, and the situation on the side of the fiefdom will be too complicated at that time, and it will be extremely unfavorable to them.

For her worries, Zuo Xiang had long anticipated them.

"So the goddess doesn't have to take over their surrender in person, and I'll do it."

Well?

This time, the tea was dismissed by the meaning of Zuo Xiang's words.

"But I'm still in the fiefdom, and they also want to surrender to me, if it's a temporary replacement, will they agree?"

Zuo Xiang smiled and shook his head.

"I have already come to the fiefdom, and what will follow must be the holy decree of His Majesty to summon the goddess back to Beijing, we only need to announce their surrender first, and everyone will know about it."

"When they really want to come to surrender, the goddess naturally returned to Beijing in a hurry because of His Majesty's summons, and I am naturally the only one who can accept their surrender."

Now Ah Cha understands it.

Co-authored Zuo Xiang This is ready to pit them.

Roast them on the stove first, and when they can't get out, then pretend to give them a way out.

When there is no other choice, this retreat will of course be an option they have to make.

And the left and right ministers have been dealing with each other for so many years, and it must be impossible for the staff to take those people to do evil under his nose.

In this way, a relatively perfect closed loop is formed.

"Zuo Qiuge, you will send someone to release the news now, saying that I have received the surrender of the right minister's staff, and I am very happy in my heart, and I am preparing to hold a banquet for them."

Listening to her instructions, Zuo Xiang also took out a golden scroll in his bag.

"Lord Goddess, you can take this well, maybe you can use it."

Ah Cha stared at this scroll for several seconds, and after opening it, he was even more stunned in place.

"Zuo Xiang, you ......"

"These are just things outside the body, the sacred heart is unpredictable, and the wordless holy purpose given by His Majesty can save our lives at a critical time, and even more so can take our lives."

"Instead of being so unpredictable, it's better to use it now, and make the best use of it."

"Even if Your Majesty blames him later, we can have a suitable excuse."

Ah Cha was silent for a while, and said solemnly: "Zuo Xiang, this is too precious, you better keep it, and then take it out and use it when you need it." ”

You know, what Zuo Xiang gave was a wordless holy decree.

This kind of decree means that the emperor does not write a single word on it, but the person who holds this decree can fill in anything that does not endanger the throne and state affairs.

All that is filled in is taken as a formal decree that must be followed by anyone.

But there is one point, this wordless decree can only be used once, and once it is used this time, it will be immediately invalidated.

This was specially given by the Dog Emperor many years ago in Zuo Xiang's meritorious service in the court, and it was originally placed in the town house at home to shelter the things of the descendants, but he didn't expect to bring it to the fiefdom.

Seeing that she insisted on this, Zuo Xiang didn't say anything more, and silently took the holy decree back, but made up his mind in his heart.

But what none of them expected was that at the same time that Ah Cha was about to accept the news that the right minister's staff was going to surrender, Jinlan also started to operate beside the Dog Emperor.

"Your Majesty, right now, Prime Minister Zuo should have arrived in the fiefdom and is ready to start taking over affairs, why are you still worried?"

"I don't know if it's because the goddess has been away from Beijing for too long or what, I always feel too tired and sleepy these days."

A smile flashed quickly in Jinlan's eyes.

It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there.

The effect she wanted was achieved at once.

She put on a worried face and came to the Dog Emperor's side.

"Your Majesty, isn't this the end of the divine power of the goddess?"

"The concubine remembers that the goddess has been away from Kyoto for more than twenty days, and the effect of both divine power and divine pills may not be as good as before."

The Emperor closed his eyes tiredly, "I guess there is also a reason for this. ”

"But now that the goddess is far away in the fiefdom, I'm afraid it will take some time to hand over the affairs with the left minister, and I can't go back to Beijing to re-exert my divine power for the time being."

The emperor said this, and Jinlan knew that his efforts over the past few days had worked.

Since Zuo Xiang left Beijing, she secretly ordered someone to increase the dose of chronic poison given to the Dog Emperor.

Today's dog emperor is rarely awake for only a few hours in a day.

Other times, it's either drowsy or so tired that you can't even move.

Like he is now.

"Your Majesty, the concubine thinks that there is a fief of the left prime minister, and there is no need for the goddess to spend too much time to hand over the affairs, your dragon body is important, so you should first issue an order to recall the goddess back to Beijing."

Her words can be said to be right in the heart of the dog emperor.

He was more worried about his body than anyone else, and he had long wanted to find an excuse to urgently recall Ah Cha.

Now that Jinlan has come up with a reason for himself, then he naturally wants to summon Ah Cha as soon as possible.

"Lan'er, you go and help me draft a holy decree."

"The holy decree said that I feel that the Holy Body is not safe, and I need the goddess to return to Beijing as soon as possible to cast a spell for me."

The goal was achieved, and Jinlan immediately went to write this holy decree.

The Dog Emperor was indeed in a hurry, and after the decree was written, he insisted on asking the messenger to send it over eight hundred miles in an urgent manner.

So when Ah Cha got this holy decree, it happened to be just before she had set up her original decision to accept the right minister's staff and the remnants of the surrender.

"Goddess, the emperor has sent a holy decree."

The moment he heard the holy decree, Ah Cha subconsciously cast his gaze to Zuo Xiang, and the meaning in his eyes was obvious.

That's good, the Dog Emperor saved them a chance to use the wordless holy decree.

Ah Cha was secretly happy in his heart, but the look on his face was extremely serious.

"Well, you read it."

She said this to the messenger of the message.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict, said: I am not in good health, I need the goddess to return to Beijing as soon as possible to exert my divine power, please leave for Beijing immediately after receiving this holy decree, and the remaining affairs of the fief will be handed over to the left minister, thank you!"

For a while, Ah Cha couldn't cry or laugh.

None of this sounded like much, but why did she think it was like a time bomb sent by the Dog Emperor, or the kind that would detonate if she didn't leave the fiefdom in an hour.

"The deity knows, so go and wait."

She did have to leave at the time set by the Divine Decree, but she still had too much to do.

"Zuo Xiang, while you are here, I will tell you the situation of all the forces in the fiefdom, and if you encounter any difficulties in the future, then just pass the message through Hualuolou......

She babbled a lot again, but the right minister's staff and adjutant general worked diligently to pack up all the remaining supplies in the army.

"Adjutant General, everything is ready."

The adjutant general exchanged glances with his staff and gave an order, "Then let's rush to the city, the goddess has prepared a dust washing banquet to welcome us." ”

At this time, they don't know that accidents often come by surprise.

It was as if now, they were marching in such a hurry that they didn't even pay attention to the carriage that was hurrying along the way.

"Goddess, we left the fiefdom like this, won't they really make trouble?"

Zuochug's heart was really sweating.

He was really worried that the old man with the crepe of Zuo Xiang would not be able to withstand these people.

Ah Cha saw through the thoughts in his heart at a glance and smiled faintly.

"You still have some confidence in Zuo Xiang."

"No matter how scheming the right minister's staff is, haven't they won the left minister in the court for so many years?"

"You have to believe that it is easy for the left minister to handle them."

Don't really say it, Ah Cha's words are in one sentence.

After meeting them, the group marched to the city gate.

And the left prime minister has been waiting for them for a long time.

"You are too tired all the way, the goddess has ordered someone to prepare a good dust washing feast, and I also ask you to take off your armor and move to the city."

As soon as Zuo Xiang said this, many soldiers did the same, and they untied the weapons and armor around them one after another.

But the staff and adjutant general did not do anything.

In particular, the staff looked around the city gate and looked at the left prime minister with disdain.

"Lord Zuo Xiang is really good at laughing, we are here to surrender to the goddess, but why haven't we seen the goddess show up for a long time now?"

"It's unfortunate that you came, more than an hour ago, His Majesty urgently summoned the goddess to leave for Beijing within an hour."

"The goddess who received the decree has already left before a stick of incense."

Every time Zuo Xiang said one more word, the faces of the staff became gloomy.

He didn't even know that the goddess had left the fiefdom.

But Zuo Xiang seemed to be completely unnoticed, and added.

"But speaking of which, you may have met the chariot and horse of the goddess on the way."

It's okay if the left minister doesn't say anything, but the anger of the staff can't be concealed at all.

"Zuo Xiang, you-"

It's a pity that before he could fully say his words, he was pulled by the lieutenant by the sleeve, shook his head lightly and whispered in a low voice.

"I did see the chariot and horse of the goddess."

The staff glared at him, but he didn't directly attack the occasion.

But he was not so polite to Zuo Xiangke.

"Zuo Xiang, we are here to surrender to the goddess, if you intervene sideways, then don't blame me for going back on my word."

The staff said and waved their hands, signaling the troops behind them to take a position.

In fact, he is also gambling and probing, betting that the left, who has just taken over the affairs of the fiefdom, does not have absolute leadership over these things.

But he didn't expect that he would be responded to by Zuo Xiang's contemptuous smile.

"Come on, pick up the wind and wash the dust for them!"

The words on his lips were polite, but a large group of soldiers suddenly poured out from behind Zuo Xiang.

Not only were there soldiers behind him, but many soldiers also rushed out from both sides of the city gate, surrounding all the men brought by the staff.

Zuo Xiang smiled apologetically.

"The goddess left in a hurry, and she didn't have time to explain too many things, but the goddess had an explanation before you surrendered, and ordered you to entertain the good students."

"This official is getting old, I'm afraid the hospitality will not be good, so I have found many soldiers to help me, and I ask for your understanding."

"The city is ready, please enter the city."

Into the city?

No, they have all been surrounded, and now they are left with the option of entering the city.

But entering the city is the fear of the unknown, and not entering the city will also be a dead end.

The staff immediately wanted to refute with a dark face, but they didn't want to be pulled by the adjutant general.

The adjutant general saluted respectfully, "What Lord Zuo Xiang said is that the lower official will lead the soldiers into the city." ”
