Volume 1: Born to be a Hero Chapter 178: Secret Reception

It's getting late.

In a hall in the side courtyard of the Sun Mansion, the door is closed and incense is filled.

More than a dozen Huyang officials sat on both sides, talking to each other in a whisper, slightly noisy.

It was only after they came here that they discovered the difference in the invitation, and they didn't know what Sun Dai meant by asking them to come here.

It is also strange to say that today Sun Dai held a banquet to entertain everyone, and it stands to reason that he should sit on the main seat in the lobby, but he just found a place to sit down at random during the banquet, and deliberately left the main seat in the lobby.

"Lord Sun, are there any other important guests today?" After a while, someone couldn't help but ask.

When Sun Dai heard this, he drank a glass of stuffy wine and said very sullenly: "Today's mother's birthday, I shouldn't talk about it." But...... Alas, it's not worth it!"

After that, Sun Dai let out a long sigh, and the expression on his face was very sad.

At this moment, the surrounding officials were even more surprised, and one of them hurriedly said: "I don't know why Lord Sun is worried......? If you can help, you will naturally do your part. ”

"Yes, Master Sun, why did you wronged yourself? We have worked together for many years, and we are already close friends, where can we still share each other?"

"That's right, what is the matter with Lord Sun? Just say it, let everyone share your worries for you......"

The crowd answered.

"I'm not worrying about myself, but for all of you!"

Seeing that everyone around him spoke in support, Sun Dai had a little more confidence out of thin air, but his expression became more and more desolate.

After a while, he said in a mournful voice: "Alas, when Liu Taishou was in power, he trusted us and others, regarded us as confidants, listened to everything he said, and did everything he could...... But now Liu Taishou was killed by Na He Yi, and the city was also taken away...... We have been dedicated, not only have we not been taken seriously, but have been repeatedly suppressed. In the past, not only will our official positions be lost, but our lives will also be lost!"

When these words were spoken, the surrounding officials immediately fell silent.

It is true that since He Yi sat in the position of Taishou, he quickly assigned some important positions to Gongliangju and others, which can be said to be a big power, and even Qin Guang and Li Ai, who came to Huyang to serve at the latest, have been reused, but they just ignore these old officials.

Not only that, in the early days of He Yi's occupation of Huyang, because of the lack of money and food, he directly cut off a part of all the officials in the city, and it was still not restored after the funds were sufficient.

This naturally causes them to be dissatisfied.

But he was afraid of He Yi's majesty, and he didn't dare to be angry......

"But what can we do? After all, we are only a civil servant, and we have no real power in our hands......

"Yes, then He Taishou holds the army in his hands, and you and I fight against it, won't we hit the stone with an egg?"

"I have already secretly written a letter to Lord Mu of Rongyang City about He Yi killing Taishou and seizing the county seat, but half a year has passed, and there is still no news, and I think he sent someone to intercept ......"

The officials sighed.

Bang!

Seeing that all the officials' dissatisfaction with He Yi was aroused, Sun Dai slammed the table, stood up, and said, "That's why I will use the name of the banquet to invite you to come over ———— colleagues, and I won't hide it." The envoy of the Governor of Rongyang City is now a guest in my mansion!"

"What? Could it be that Lord Governor already knows about this!"

"If the state pastor makes a move, then the traitor He Yi will definitely die soon! We can finally get out of the sea of suffering!"

“......”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was startled at first, and then danced with their hands, and the excitement was indescribable.

The reason why He Yi was able to sit firmly in the Taishou position was nothing more than an extremely strict blockade of the news, so the outside world did not know that there was an anti-thief in Huyang City.

Now that the matter is revealed, let's see how long he can jump!

I heard Sun Dai say: "If you have any dissatisfaction for a while, just say it, I believe that the envoy will definitely call the shots for us!"

As soon as the words fell, he immediately beckoned outward.

The servant waiting outside the door received the order and hurriedly retreated.

Soon after, a well-dressed young man was invited in.

An envoy sent by Rongyang City!

Seeing this, everyone in the room stood up at the same time!

"Your Majesty, Greetings to the Envoy, please sit on the Throne of the Envoy!" Sun Dai took the lead and led the Envoy to the throne in the middle of the hall.

"Greetings to the messenger!" the crowd replied in unison.

The messenger was dressed in a fire-colored silk robe, wearing a jade crown, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a fair complexion.

At a young age, he can be favored by the state pastor, and he is naturally sharp.

Coughed lightly, showing pride.

The envoy looked arrogant and asked Sun Dai, "This official came here yesterday to give an order, why didn't you let Huyang Taishou come to see me?

That Sun Dai led the officials on both sides to kneel down towards the envoy one after another, with a sincere expression of fear, and said in unison: "It's not that the officials are unwilling, but that the Taishou of this city has already been killed by the traitors, and the city has also been taken away, and I also ask the envoy to make the decision for us and avenge Liu Yi Taishou!"

They began to tell He Yi's "atrocities" one after another, saying how he used treacherous tricks to take away the city, how he brutally killed the former Taishou Liu Yi, how greedy for money, how tyrannical he was, anyway, it was just a nonsense.

When it came to anger, some people even cried out in a low voice.

"Oh, is that so?"

The envoy raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "Why didn't you report such a major matter to Rongyang City earlier?

Sun Dai grabbed the ground with his head and cried: "It's not that I don't want to, but since He Yi took the position of Taishou, he has been sending people to secretly monitor us, and I really can't report the situation to the adults!"

Another person also kowtowed and said, "Yes, my lord, we wrote a secret letter to Lord Zhou Mu half a year ago, but we were all intercepted by He Yi's thief halfway!"

When the messenger heard this, his brow furrowed even more.

pondered for a moment, but snorted coldly and said, "I didn't expect such a major thing to happen in the land under the jurisdiction of Lord Zhou Mu...... It doesn't matter, this official will go to the Taishou Mansion for a trip, if he is honest and hand over the city, it will be fine, if he is not honest...... Hmph, this official will take his head to pay tribute to Liu Taishou!"

The messenger's words were arrogant and conceited, as if dealing with a Taishou was as simple as pinching an ant to death.

But listening to it in the ears of Sun Dai and others changed its taste.

They knew very well the power of He Yi's methods, and hurriedly dissuaded: "My lord, don't be impulsive! Then He Yi has already grasped the power, and he has 30,000 elite soldiers in his hands, and he is invincible! If the adult shows up easily, I am afraid that he will be unfavorable to you...... According to the lower officials, it is better to ask the old man to take action in person......"

"Nonsense! How can such a trivial matter alarm the state pastor?" If you lose the city and stoop to the thief, if the state pastor is to blame, can you afford this crime?" the messenger scolded sharply.

"The lower officials don't dare! I'm afraid that if something happens to the adults, no one will be able to save us......" Sun Dai Zhan Keke, not daring to speak.

"Alright, get up. Don't worry about this!" The messenger looked at him indifferently, and his mind turned, and he knew what the officials were worried about.

He silently muttered a few words of incantation in his mouth, only to see a nameless fire, suddenly jumping up from the place where Sun Dai and the others knelt!

The flames rose more than four feet high and spread throughout the hall, but they did not hurt Sun Dai or ignite anything, but only startled them off the ground and took a few steps back.

Its control of spiritual power has reached such a subtle level, which shows that cultivation is bound to be not shallow.

"Repair...... Cultivator!Envoy, you are actually a cultivator......" Sun Dai was shocked.

"Rare and strange, this official is a disciple of Lord Governor, what objection do you have?" said the messenger with a proud face.

In the world, although court officials are expressly forbidden to practice, not every city must strictly abide by it.

For example, Rongyang City.

Rongyang is the place where Muyuan really lives in Rongzhou, and it is naturally different from several other cities in Rongzhou.

The officials of Rongyang City can practice the immortal law, but they must obtain the consent of the state pastor.

Seeing that the messenger in front of him turned out to be a cultivator, Sun Dai's confidence suddenly increased.

He hurriedly said, "Lord Messenger, then He Yi left the city a few months ago and has not returned yet. And before leaving, he transferred all the troops in the city out of the city, leaving only 2,000 soldiers and horses to handle the city gate, and the palace was too empty. I now have 500 dead soldiers under my command, and I can help you take back the Taishou Mansion in one fell swoop!"

He thought that the messenger in front of him was just an ordinary person.

Originally, he wanted to borrow this tiger skin, so that the defenders of the Taishou Mansion did not dare to act rashly, and it was naturally best to succeed, even if it didn't work, he could be said to be the envoy forcing him to attack the Taishou Mansion......

What I didn't expect was that the other party turned out to be a powerful cultivator!

In this way, he will have no worries at all.

So how easy is it, no matter how powerful it is?

What if you have a heavy army?

Can you still resist the cultivators!

"Oh, so you already have a plan," ...... the messenger nodded after a slight mutter, and said, "That's very good! Without further ado, let's start tonight! Two hours later, let's go to the Taishou Mansion together. ”

"Yes, my lord! Xiaguan will go to prepare, you can rest and taste our Huyang delicacies. ”

Seeing that the messenger agreed, Sun Dai seemed very excited.

The banquet continued, and in a corner of the lobby, a servant with a flask in his hand frowned, and silently withdrew while the crowd was unprepared......
