Chapter 73: The Way of the Other

Deng Yi looked at the bamboo slips handed over by the eunuch, hesitated for a moment, but took them and slowly spread them out on the table.

Fei Gong leaned over.

This is a peace letter written by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to Sima Yan on behalf of Liu Yong.

What was said in the letter was basically the same as what Liu Yong said to the two just now: as long as Sima Yan promised not to harm the people of the city, he was willing to give up the throne, and would rather make a cloth coat to ensure that his family was fed and clothed.

The letter also agreed: As long as Sima Yan agrees, he can enter the city in three days, and he will personally take the ministers of the DPRK and China out of the city to surrender at that time.

"It turns out that Your Majesty has already had this intention?" Fei Gong clapped his hands excitedly.

Deng Yi was also confused.

"Lord Deng, can this letter express my sincerity?" Liu Yong didn't give Deng Yi a chance to think too long, and asked loudly.

Deng Yi knew that he had to speak at this time.

"Weichen had also tried to persuade His Majesty before, but at that time, His Majesty insisted on going his own way, and he killed Lord Li Huan in the palace, and the ministers didn't dare to say anything. Today, since His Majesty has figured it out, the minister has no objection. ”

"Okay." Liu Yong's smile was a little reluctant, and he suddenly asked, "Since the two adults have no objections, who is willing to act as this messenger to Cao Wei's camp to deliver a letter?" Both of you are my former ministers in Shuzhong, and having one of you go should be a better expression of my sincerity in surrendering. ”

Both were shocked.

Fei Gong suddenly felt that this was the real purpose of Liu Yongxuan's summoning of the two here.

If Sima Yan refused to accept the surrender, he would definitely not ask the envoy to return with his whole body.

Don't touch such an errand.

"Your Majesty, Lord Deng is quite famous in the Cao Wei army, long before General Deng Ai died, he has been promised to stay in Shuzhong, and after that, he was summoned by Sima Wang Ye many times. According to Weichen's opinion, this matter must be Lord Deng. Fei Gong rushed ahead of Deng Yi and said.

Deng Yi's face became extremely ugly.

To be honest, being able to go out of the city was something he dreamed of, but to take on such a mission to meet Sima Yan, Deng Yi felt that it was really dangerous.

"Lord Fei dares to drive sheep into the tiger's mouth? Such a big thing is really beyond the reach of the villain. Fei is still highly respected, if he can go in person, he will definitely succeed. Deng Yi said.

"Lord Deng is also false." Fei Gong was anxious, "Although the villain is a few years older, he has no achievements in his life, how can he be more realistic than Lord Deng." ”

Deng Yi sneered.

"The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty all take Lord Fei as a model, and they only seek to be without fault, how can they be called unaccomplished?"

Liu Yong held the wine bottle, looked at the ugliness of the two sarcastic each other, hated it in his heart, and suddenly slapped the table to stop the quarrel between the two.

"The two of you are going to fight here, I have already decided that this matter will be handled by Lord Deng."

Liu Yong's words made Deng Yi have no excuse to shirk, so he had to whisper: "Obey the order." ”

Liu Yong seemed to be very happy, and with a clapping of his hands, several palace maids who had been waiting behind the screen in the hall came out in response, and for a while, the skirts were flying, the fragrance was overflowing, and the dancing posture instantly made Deng Yi and Fei Gong forget the troubles just now.

Liu Yong is even more active.

This is the first time Deng Yi and Fei Gong have seen Liu Yong drink like this.

It didn't take long for Liu Yong to be slightly drunk.

"Lord Fei can go back to the house for the time being to wait for news, Lord Deng will stay here for the time being, and I will discuss the matter of the next book with him." Liu Yong staggered to his feet and commanded.

"Wechen retired." Fei Gong hurriedly left his seat and bowed to leave.

Liu Yongping retired from the palace maids, and then, as if he was about to walk down the steps, he stumbled and almost fell, so he had to sit back on the chair and beckon Deng Yi to come over.

Deng Yi stepped on the steps very carefully.

"This matter must not be delayed, Lord Deng can leave early tomorrow morning. At that time, I will inform the soldiers defending the city, asking them to let Lord Deng out of the city and escort him from a distance. Liu Yong said.

"Weichen will order, then go back and prepare." Deng Yi wanted to leave.

As soon as he turned around, Liu Yong behind him slid from the chair and sat on the ground, and the wine bottle in his hand was also thrown far away by him.

"Your Majesty!" Deng Yi didn't expect Liu Yong to be drunk like this, so he hurried over to help him up.

At this moment, a sound of footsteps sounded, and a soldier wearing a Shu army uniform ran in from outside.

"Your Majesty, General Zhang Shao sent the villain to deliver the letter." As soon as the soldiers entered, they shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty is drunk, let's talk about it another day." Deng Yi turned around and shouted.

The soldier was startled, holding a folded white ayako in his hand, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

Liu Yong was suddenly shocked, struggling to get up, but he didn't succeed, so he had to point to the table in front of him and motioned for the soldier to put the letter here first.

The soldier put down the letter.

Deng Yi and the soldiers worked together to help Liu Yong sit back on the chair.

Liu Yong fell asleep on the table without saying a word.

"General Zhang Shao is anxious to reply to the book, can Lord Deng ask the people in the palace to cook some sobering soup?" The soldier looked very anxious.

"Your Majesty is drunk like this, I am afraid that you will not be able to wake up within an hour, you can go outside for the time being, and when Your Majesty wakes up, I will call you in." Deng Yi said.

The soldier looked helpless and turned around and went out.

Deng Yi put the bamboo slip in his hand and planned to withdraw first, but he suddenly stopped, and his eyes fell on the white silk on the table.

Since Liu Yong had already made up his mind to negotiate peace with Sima Yan, but he had a correspondence with Zhang Shao, who was stationed outside the city, could it be ...... Deng Yi's heart instantly rose to his throat.

I was already suspicious of this matter, could it be that there was really a fraud in this?

In the hall, except for himself and the drunken queen who was a puddle of mud, there was no one else, so why not just ......

Cold sweat trickled down his forehead again.

A trembling hand slowly reached for the table and grabbed the white ayako.

A moment later, Deng Yi had already walked out of Jing'an Palace as if nothing had happened.

Coming to the gate of the palace, Deng Yi was surprised to find that Fei Gong hadn't left yet, and had been waiting here.

"Lord Deng is so valued by His Majesty this time, it is really gratifying and congratulatory, the villain is waiting for your lord here, and I hope to take more care of you in front of the two Marquis Sima in the future."

Deng Yi snorted.

"When Lord Fei said this, I'm afraid he is suspected of mocking his own official, right?"

"How dare the villain." Fei Gong said, leaning closer to Deng Yi and lowering his voice, "Your Majesty's decision today is not sincere, I am afraid that there is an intention to hide from Marquis Sima, Lord Deng needs to be more careful when he goes." ”

Deng Yi was stunned.

It turned out that this old fellow was not stupid, but he must not let such a person see the clues.

"How can Lord Fei not even believe His Majesty's words, if this official goes back to inform His Majesty, I'm afraid that Lord Fei will have no hope of survival."

Fei Gong's face turned pale with fright.

"Since Lord Deng is not suspicious, what else does the villain have to say, it is just a joke, Lord Deng must not take it seriously." As he spoke, he hurriedly left and got into the carriage that had been waiting beside him.

A sneer appeared on Deng Yi's face.

In the hall of Jing'an Palace, Liu Yong, who also had a sneer, stood next to the table and looked out of the hall.

He used the same method to deal with Sima Yan, and the next thing is to see who is more patient.
