For several days, Gui Yunzheng was busy meeting with several branch leaders and disciples of the Chang'an Beggar Clan to establish a preliminary impression.
Fortunately, his reputation as a knight has spread throughout the world, and with the support of Long Wu, Fu Canglang and the three elders, the handover went smoothly.
Originally, Gui Yunzheng only planned to form an alliance with the Chang'an Beggar Clan, but unexpectedly, he ended up encountering Long Wu's abdication of power. As the saying goes, "If you don't take what God gives you, you will suffer the consequences." Gui Yunzheng is not a person with a wet mind. If he takes it, he will accept it.
Gu Chengfeng and Yun Yi, with the support of Gui Yunzheng and Long Wu, agreed to stay in Chang'an temporarily, and Li Xin arranged for them to stay in the same inn as Gui Yunzheng and others.
After four or five days, the matter with the Chang'an Beggar Clan was finally settled. There is also news from Su Hejing.
As soon as he returned home, he encountered two things. First, he learned from King Fu about the envoy from Prince Jing's palace. King Fu initially used him as a shield for this matter. Now that he has come back, there will definitely be a result. The second thing is about Fu Canglang's visit. According to his subordinates, he seems to be a little anxious. This matter must be dealt with well. After all, they had always been good friends with each other when they were the king's ministers, and Fu Canglang usually didn't bother him. If it was so urgent, something important must be going on.
Under the arrangement of King Fu, Su Hejing met with Chunlei brother and sister, King Jing's envoy.
"The two envoys have come a long way, thank you for your hard work! It's just that Su was really busy with important matters a few days ago, so I ask the two envoys to be considerate!"
They are all people who live in officialdom, so they can naturally use polite words easily. Su Hejing was smiling all over his face, but his eyes were looking at the two young envoys of Prince Jing's palace.
Chunlei had visited Su Hejing two or three times before he returned home. He was told that Master Su had not returned, which made him feel a little unhappy. However, "don't hit the smiling man". After all, Master Su in front of you is a very important figure in Prince Fu's palace. For the sake of the overall situation, you still have to be patient and give him face so that things can be handled more smoothly.
At that moment, he also smiled.
"Haha, I have admired Master Su's name for a long time, and I am lucky to meet you today. If you say that, it would really offend me!"
The way he looked was completely different from the arrogance he had shown a few days ago. It has been several days since he came to Chang'an, but this matter has never been settled. He is a smart man and knows that the key to this is probably Master Su. But the so-called long-admiration theory is really nonsense. He may have heard of Su Hejing, but he must not know that Su Niancheng in front of him has broken legs and his face has changed drastically.
"Okay, two envoys, you're welcome to Su. Your Highness has informed me of Prince Jing's intention to come. Last night, Your Majesty also discussed this matter with me for a long time. There are some difficulties in this matter. I will talk about it or not." The prince's side. Although the prince is in charge of Chang'an, the two envoys must have some knowledge of the situation in the northwest. Tongguan and other passes are mostly outside the prince's control. Although Ma Yue in Longyou has always been in peace, However, if the prince takes thousands of people under his command and rashly marches eastward, Chang'an will be empty, and those who are willing to take advantage of it will definitely have the opportunity. This is the biggest difficulty for the prince. In addition, in order to recover these thousands of soldiers and horses under the king's command, they can suppress them. An ordinary mountain bandit is still reluctant. If he marches eastwards and seizes generals all the way, I'm afraid..."
At this point, Su Hejing paused. The rest of the words might as well not be said. To put it in layman's terms, it's like "when a meat bun hits a dog, there is no return."
This was something Chunlei had never considered. He was just a charlatan at best and a messenger. After all, he was a layman on such political intrigues and matters of the world.
For a moment, he hesitated.
