Outside the palace,
Yao Qi pinched his thigh hard, but a trace of joy appeared on his face.
Hiss~ It hurts...
I really wasn't dreaming!
Your Majesty, he actually appointed me as the dispatch envoy of Luozhou! ?
In this way, wouldn’t I be able to reach the sky in one step?
Yao Qi felt his heart beat faster, and his chest was like a big drum, being beaten by his heart.
In this way, after so many years of silence, will he finally come out?
But it doesn't seem to be that easy in these early days.
Yao Qi couldn't help but reveal a wry smile when he thought of Chief Assistant Lin Chunqiu's control over the current court.
Fortunately, His Majesty now seems to have great trust in Duke Yang, and his own Yuan family is already in the same boat as Duke Yang.
In this way, it would not be a bad idea to compete with that old dog Lin Chunqiu.
Don’t forget that the Yuan family’s blood debts are still waiting for the Lin family to repay!
A deep hatred flashed in Yao Qi's eyes, but it disappeared immediately.
He straightened his clothes, turned around and walked towards his residence.
For the present plan, we must first handle the affairs of Luozhou for His Majesty.
If you can't prove yourself, it's all in vain...
Yao Qi thought so, and suddenly the direction of his feet changed, heading in the opposite direction to where he lived.
It was a muddy street. At the end of the road, surrounded by lush grass, it seemed to be a mass grave.
Among the mass graves, a dilapidated house is located. Two large white lanterns hung high on the door of the house, and a gloomy wind blew through, adding a bit of horror to the house.
When Yao Qi came here, he felt as if he had returned home, with a warm look on his stubbled face.
"Xiaoqian, I'm here to see you!"
…
Pingzhou, General's Mansion,
General Yang Yan was dressed in military uniform, and his cold eyes glanced at the old man in front of him who was dressed as a butler.
If Yang Dong were here at this moment, he would definitely be shocked.
Because this old man was none other than Uncle Zhang, the steward who sent him to the Great Zhou Palace!
Although it has been twenty years, the middle-aged man's hair has turned gray.
But those eyes as sharp as an eagle remained unchanged.
"You are from Da Qin, and you secretly sneaked into our Dazhou Pingzhou. Aren't you afraid that my general will send people to kill you?"
Yang Yan said and quickly pulled out the sword from his waist.
The next moment, golden-armored warriors rushed out and surrounded Uncle Zhang.
But in the face of such a situation, Uncle Zhang's expression was surprisingly calm. A calm look appeared on the wrinkled cheeks.
"General Yang, I'm just a waning old man. If you want to kill me, just do it."
"However, I would like to remind you that I came to see the general today because I have something important to tell you. If the general trusts me, can you stand aside and listen to me?"
Yang Yan frowned slightly, and a pair of tiger eyes flashed across Uncle Zhang's cheeks. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly took back the sword in his hand.
"That's all, you just go down first!"
He said lightly, and the golden-armored warriors immediately dispersed and disappeared into the courtyard in the blink of an eye, as if they had never been there at all.
Yang Yan put away his sword and looked at Uncle Zhang in front of him with interest.
"Few people can stand in front of this general with such an understatement."
"You are qualified to have a few words with this general."
Uncle Zhang nodded slightly, but his face looked like he was used to strong winds and waves.
He stepped forward directly, regardless of Yang Yan's invitation, and sat down on the guest seat in the main hall.
After waiting for a moment, a trace of displeasure appeared on his cheek.
"I am a guest at your general's residence, but I am not even offered a cup of hot tea."
"Is this how a huge general's palace treats guests?"
Yang Yan smiled coldly, raised his hand and sent a servant to pour tea, and then he sat down in the main seat in the main hall.
"Tell me, what do you Daqin people want to do?"
Uncle Zhang did not answer immediately, but first moistened his throat with tea.
After a while, he said calmly:
"General Yang, don't talk nonsense, I will speak directly."
"I dare to ask the general, do you want to take over the Central Plains?"
As soon as these words came out, Yang Yan's originally calm face suddenly flashed with murderous intent. But the next second, that trace of murderous intent disappeared in an instant, as if it had never appeared.
He picked up the teacup and took a sip, and suddenly laughed out loud.
"You Daqin people will only use such clumsy alienation tactics?"
Unexpectedly, Uncle Zhang shook his head and pointed at the fruit plate not far away.
The maid hesitated for a moment, then carefully brought the fruit plate to Uncle Zhang.
Uncle Zhang was not polite and pulled down seven or eight grapes and stuffed them into his mouth.
After he spit out his skin, he said calmly:
"General Yang, do you know about the flood in Luozhou?"
Yang Yan looked slightly startled, then nodded slowly.
"The general naturally knows about this. What, do you want to get information from me?"
Uncle Zhang smiled lightly and pulled another handful of grapes.
"The chief officer of Luozhou's disaster relief is called Lin Luo, right? If I remember correctly, he is the only son of your chief minister in the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"He is in charge of an elite Longwu army and is called the new generation of military god."
Hearing this, Yang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the frail old man in front of him again.
"Old guy, it seems that your Great Qin came prepared this time."
Uncle Zhang neither nodded nor shook his head. Instead, he casually took out a jade tablet and threw it on the wooden table next to him.
"This is our Majesty's token. You should be able to tell whether it is real or fake."
"I came to see you this time just to tell you that I can get rid of Lin Luo for you."
After saying that, he looked straight at Yang Yan with calm eyes.
When Yang Yan heard this, his calm expression tightened slightly.
He knew very well that Lin Luo was Lin Chunqiu's spy in the army.
Moreover, this kid will also take his place at the right moment.
But unfortunately, he couldn't attack Lin Luo directly.
Because the old dog Lin Chunqiu was very smart, he put Lin Luo in the capital.
That place was not within Yang Yan's sphere of influence.
Because of this, in today's Great Zhou Dynasty, only most of the border troops can obey Yang Yan's orders.
The remaining state and local armies are in a position where no one can mess with them.
Therefore, if he wants to go further and gather the Zhou army. Getting rid of Lin Luo is definitely the best choice!
At this moment, Yang Yan admitted that her heart was moved.
The conditions offered by the Da Qin people were extremely tempting.
But soon, his eyes returned to calm.
He looked at Uncle Zhang and asked calmly:
"What do you, or you Daqin people, want?"
When Uncle Zhang heard this, a flash of hatred flashed across his wrinkled cheeks.
"Last year, Hou Jin made a surprise attack on my Daqin horse farm."
"I don't have any ambitions. I just want to eat Houjin's 100,000 cavalry."
