Li Zhen looked at Hebi County with a sharp look in the distance, where the city gate was closed, and whispered: "Send someone to contact the princess of Hebi County, and tell me that I want to see him and have a private chat."
Qi Lengzi nodded and immediately took the order and left.
Under the city tower of Hebi County: "I am the envoy of Dongzhou. Open the door for me. I want to go in and see your princess."
On top of the city tower, the garrison troops in Hebi County looked at each other in disbelief, not daring to make any decision easily.
The news reached the ears of the princess. Jiang Tian, the princess of Hebi County, hesitated for a long time: "Open the city gate and let the envoy in."
He had some extreme aversion to the word messenger. In his opinion, there was no rebellion in Dongzhou at all. In theory, it still fell under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. If the word "envoy" was used, wouldn't it mean that he was a lobbyist for the two countries
A small side door opened under the city gate, and Dongzhou's envoy walked in, head held high. Seeing the armor around him as if it were nothing, he was led straight into the government office. Along the way, the people in Hebi looked at him in surprise and started talking about him.
There has been a lot of turmoil in Hebi County recently, and the people in the city who are most uneasy are actually the people in the city. If a war breaks out, their fate will be the worst.
After entering the government office, the envoy sent by Li Zhen said bluntly: "We, President Li, want to see you."
Jiang Tian was stunned: "See me?"
"Yes. Princess Jiang, please go to Dongzhou Camp to talk."
Jiang Tian was stunned for a long time, and then laughed loudly: "Are you talking nonsense? How could he, Li Zhen, be so virtuous that he asked me to see him in person? Bullshit. Get out!"
The messenger still said indifferently: "Seriously?"
"when… "
Jiang Tian wanted to say harsh words, but when he thought of his own identity, he thought of Li Zhen's identity. He immediately felt that if he offended Li Zhen, his life would definitely be difficult in the future, so he sneered again: "This is a critical period, and I will not do such a thing. Everything I do must be done It depends on the will of the imperial court, and now I don’t have any decree from the imperial court, so I dare not act without authorization, and I ask for Dean Li’s understanding.”
The messenger ignored Jiang Tian's ambivalence and just said, "I understand."
Turn around and leave.
Jiang Tian was in a state of confusion and was a little unsure. Don't talk nonsense after this messenger returns. He quickly summoned people to send some to the messenger.
Envoy Li Zhen was about to go out when he was immediately stopped again: "Brother, wait a minute."
"Is there anything else?"
"Hey, it's just a little thought. I need you to run around."
Looking back, I saw that the man was holding a stack of Kyushu coins, about 10,000 coins. Immediately a flash of sneer flashed in his eyes: "Is this?"
"Oh, this is a little thought from our princess, buy some wine to drink."
When he spoke, there was a hint of pride in the man's eyes. I'm afraid no one could be more generous than Hebi County, right
The envoy shook his head, turned around and walked out of Hebi County. The stunned man secretly cursed in his heart on the spot. He didn't even want the favor? Are you afraid that you are not a fool
But after hearing the envoy leave, he suddenly turned around and said with a smile: "Let me accept the money. Use it to buy some wine for the soldiers of Hebi County to improve their lives."
"ah?"
The entire Hebi County was furious and felt that they had been insulted.
The messenger smiled again and said: "My monthly salary is converted into Kyushu coins in Dongzhou, which is about 150,000 coins. Do you want me to make a mistake with this little money? Hahahaha."
After saying that, he left Hebi County completely.
The man from Hebi County standing at the door was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick. Isn't it great to be rich
Being rich is awesome.
After returning to the camp, the envoy told Li Zhen what had happened, but Li Zhen just said indifferently: "Isn't he unwilling to see me?"
"I don't want to."
"good."
After saying that, Li Zhen returned to the camp expressionlessly.
Everyone looked at each other in shock. At that moment, they felt the overwhelming anger from Li Zhen. Uncertain in their hearts, everyone remained silent and did not dare to touch its edge.
Everyone in the camp retreated and stayed away, for fear of offending Li Zhen. Although no one knows why Li Zhen got angry for no reason.
——
Ten thousand years ago. Zhang Zhi woke up faintly from the bed.
There were still tears on his face: "It seemed like I had a dream and saw a familiar and strange person."
She couldn't remember the content of the dream at all, but she remembered that she was calling to the boundless darkness in the dream: Are you still coming? I've been waiting for you for a long time...
She was wondering who she was talking to, but she couldn't remember the dream, it was too vague. I can only deeply realize that I am very anxious in my heart, as if I am about to miss the biggest regret in my life.
Sitting on the bed in a daze, with her hair covering her face, she pondered what the reason for all this was? What is all this for
She actually felt that although the dream was vague, it was very real. Like it was happening, not just a dream.
"well."
——
Ten thousand years later, Huangpu County.
"Report!"
"explain."
"Li Zhen led 20,000 elite troops to Balong City, but encountered resistance in Hebi County. The court refused to allow Li Zhen's army to enter, and it was impossible for Li Zhen's army to let Li Zhen enter Beijing alone. There was a stalemate in Hebi County. It’s been five days.”
When Xun Shifei heard this, he stood up suddenly: "Is it true?"
"Absolutely true."
"Back off."
“…”
After the messenger left, Wang Sandao said excitedly: "The opportunity has come."
"Um… "
Wang Sandao rubbed his hands excitedly: "We can't really let Li Zhen and Xun Jiayuan reach a contract. If Li Zhen's money is injected into the court, it will be tantamount to extending the life of the court and making it more difficult for us. We will attack no matter what. It’s okay to kill Li Zhen. It’s just that... this guy is too powerful, and he actually brings 20,000 elite troops. With such a large team, the possibility of attack and killing can basically be eliminated. But, we have to do something."
Xun Shifei nodded: "We can't attack and kill Li Zhen. First of all, the hidden conditions are not proportional at all. Li Zhen openly brought 20,000 troops to Beijing, so if we want to attack and kill Li Zhen, we need at least 40,000 people. Such a large A bunch of people can't leave Southeast State at all. Once they leave Southeast State, everyone will know that they are ours. Secondly, Li Zhen is my junior fellow student. Unless he really influences me to take charge of the world, top talents like him will not be able to rule the world in the future. He is the number one scientist in our country. In the end, Li Zhen cannot die. Once he dies, we will not benefit."
"Then what can we do? We definitely can't let Li Zhen enter the capital. I vaguely feel that Hebi County is a key."
Xun Shifei rubbed his chin and said, "Sowing discord."
"How to sow discord?"
"The initiative this time is in the hands of the imperial court. As long as the imperial court does not allow those 20,000 people to enter the capital, this matter will be over. And it is impossible for Li Zhen to enter the capital alone, and no one can agree. So... the main provocation The imperial court.”
"What are you provoking?"
"Propaganda, building momentum. Let's say that if Li Zhen has 20,000 people to enter Beijing, he will be extremely powerful and can annex the Eight Dragon City at any time. Let's say that Li Zhen, with 20,000 people, can defeat 100,000 people. Anyway, no matter what, the propaganda will create a sense of crisis. , let the court say what it dares not to let him into the capital."
