Chapter 237: Jiangdong Dingfeng
Jianye City in the morning had not yet been covered by the noise of the day, Lu Qiong had already rushed to the palace in a car, and he had to arrive before Emperor Sun Liang got up.
A dark shadow flashed from the side of the car and blocked the front of it.
"The villain is a close friend of Lord Lu Qiong, and I also ask Lord Lu to get out of the car to see him." The man grabbed the reins of the horse and said to the coachman.
The coachman turned around and lifted the curtain that stood in front of him.
Lu Qiong glanced outside, and the expression on his face looked a little nervous.
"Wait here." Lu Qiong instructed the coachman, and he jumped out of the car from behind.
The person who came didn't speak, walked in front with a black face, and soon, he took Lu Qiong to the edge of an alley, where a person was standing there silently, looking at Lu Qiong with a smile.
"Your Majesty the Villain Attends." Lu Qiong saw the person coming clearly, hurriedly took a step forward, and was about to kneel, but was pulled by the man.
"This is not the place to speak, Lord Lu and come with me." The man said, and walked into the alley first.
Half an hour later, Lu Qiong walked out of the alley.
At noon, a carriage from the palace stopped in front of the mansion of Ding Feng, an old minister of Eastern Wu.
Among the many generals of the great Eastern Wu, Ding Feng is not particularly outstanding, although he had some military exploits when he was young, but because there was no war for a long time, and after Sun Quan's death, Sun Qi was worried that the old ministers would not accept his auxiliary government, so he tried his best to suppress it, so that the old general is still at the bottom of the group of ministers with the position of recruiting generals.
Despite this, he must be an old minister who has gone through three generations, and people still respect him.
After Sun Liang became in power, Ding Feng has been sick at home and has not been to the court for a long time.
The sudden arrival of the palace carriage made several family members guarding the door look a little flustered.
Lu Qiong held the holy decree written on the yellow silk in his hand, stood in front of the door of the mansion, and deliberately raised his voice: "Your Majesty's holy decree has arrived, please quickly invite General Ding to come and receive the decree." ”
"Lord Lu, wait a minute." The doorman ran into the house with a puff of smoke.
Lu Qiong glanced back at the two attendant eunuchs who followed him.
The two men bowed their heads, each holding a brocade box painted with gold in their hands.
At this moment, a group of samurai in armor came from a distance. Behind the samurai was a lavishly decorated car, with a huge red umbrella that barely blocked half of the horses in front of him.
"Lord Sima Sun Qi arrived, and the pedestrians quickly dodged away."
A leading samurai Pegasus galloped in front of him, and when he passed by Lu Qiong and the others' cars, he didn't even look at them.
Lu Qiong was like being whipped by someone, and his face changed in panic.
A person behind him suddenly stretched out his hand and patted Lu Qiong's back gently.
Lu Qiong tried to force himself to calm down.
The samurai passed by the carriage decorated with yellow feathers, and the cold light of their swords and spears shook everyone's eyes.
Lu Qiong held the holy decree in his hand and did not squint.
Sun Qi's car came to a few people, and suddenly stopped, obviously, Sun Qi in the car noticed this car that only the palace can have.
Not long after, a warrior came to Lu Qiong.
"Lord Sun Qi wants you to go to the car to answer."
Although Lu Qiong was still a little nervous, he had eased up a lot more than just now.
Just as he was about to take a step, a hand suddenly reached out behind him and grabbed the hem of his shirt.
Lu Qiong was a little startled, glanced back, and only saw that the two eunuchs were still bowing their heads.
Lu Qiong calmed himself down.
"This official is here by order, and the holy decree in his hand is still there, so it is inconvenient to go to see Lord Sun Qi, and I also ask the general to reply to my lordship, please wait for a while, and wait for the next official to read the holy decree, and then go to ask for sin."
The samurai thought about it, and probably felt that he couldn't go to see the driver with the holy decree in his hand, so he turned and went back.
Sun Qi was very unhappy when he got the reply.
"Who's the herald?"
"Lord Lu Qiong." The samurai replied.
"This person again?" Sun Qi was a little angry, "Today, the Holy Lord must also give three points of courtesy in front of Lord Ben, how dare this man despise Lord Ben, you go as soon as possible and bring him to see me." ”
"Yes." The samurai promised to leave, but was stopped by an attendant who was following the car.
The entourage leaned on Sun Qi's ear and whispered, "This is a busy city, and most of the people living nearby are my old ministers of Eastern Wu, if your lord forcibly persecutes His Majesty's herald here, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among the people and the old ministers, and damage your reputation." ”
Sun Qi thought for a moment.
"Lord Ben, I want to hear what Your Majesty has to say to Ding Feng, the old horseman?"
"Come on, serve the adults and get off." The attendant shouted.
It didn't take long for Sun Qi to come to Lu Qiong.
Lu Qiong's eyes kept staring at the door of Ding Fengfu.
"Lord Sima, the lower official is holding the holy decree in his hand, and it is inconvenient to give a salute, please forgive me." Lu Qiong said.
Sun Qi didn't speak, and stood in front of him with his hands behind his back.
"Lord Lu Qiong, do you know what His Majesty wants General Ding to do?"
"The lower official is just passing the decree on behalf of His Majesty, and I really don't dare to ask more." Lu Qiong replied.
Sun Qi's eyes fell on the two people standing behind Lu Qiong again, and there was a cold snort in his nose, and he suddenly stretched out his hand, took the heavy brocade box from one person's hand, and quickly opened it.
In the brocade box, there is a gold medal made of gold, which is engraved with Sun Liang's year name.
The person holding the brocade box was startled, and suddenly raised his head, and was about to grope for the saber under his side, but was held down by another person.
Sun Qi looked at the two of them with a sneer, and then covered the brocade box and put it back in the man's hand, but snatched the holy decree from Lu Qiong's hand.
Lu Qiong panicked, and was about to grab it back, but was blocked by a samurai.
"Lord Sun Qi is the Father of the Holy Heaven today, and Lord Lu Qiong doesn't need to make such a fuss." Samurai said.
Lu Qiong's face turned red, angry and anxious.
Sun Qi unfolded the holy decree.
In fact, there was not much written on the holy decree, but only commended some of Ding Feng's achievements, and at the end, he said that he would give a gold medal for his past achievements, so as to avoid the gift of going to the temple in the future.
Sun Qi looked at the holy decree over and over for a long time, but found nothing else, so he closed the holy decree and handed it to Lu Qiong's hand.
"Lord Ben is about to go to the palace to see the driver, passing by here, so he will stop and ask, Lord Lu Qiong must not be suspicious."
Lu Qiong was silent.
The two people who followed him raised their heads at the same time at this time, and took a closer look at Sun Qi.
Sun Qi got in the car and left.
The sound of the warrior's hooves was far away, and Lu Qiong let out a long breath.
"Lord Lu Qiong doesn't have to dwell on this matter, it's better to discuss the important matter with General Ding first." A man behind him whispered.
At this time, Ding Fengcai, who had just bathed and changed clothes, walked out of the house accompanied by a family member and knelt at the foot of the steps to listen to the order.
Although he is nearly seventy years old, Ding Feng was born with a crane hair and a young face, and his body is strong, and he can vaguely see the heroic appearance of the battlefield in the past.
"Did the old general hear me?" After Lu Qiong finished reading the holy decree, he leaned over and asked again.
Ding Feng nodded.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."
"That being the case, the old general also asked the room to speak." Lu Qiong said.
"Lord Lu Qiong, please." Ding Feng waved his hand and said.
