Jiang Gan felt a little strange when he heard Pang Tong's tone. The other party didn't seem so friendly.
"Bo Ning, my trip is based on His Majesty's will!"
"Oh? Then tell me, which majesty do you serve?"
Man Chong smiled jokingly, and stopped talking nonsense at this time. He decisively took out the knife from his sleeve and stabbed Jiang Gan in the heart!
"Sure enough! You are a spy!"
The two said in unison that Manchong was fatter but stronger.
Fortunately, Jiang Gan moved quickly enough and escaped the fatal knife.
Unfortunately, his arms were still scratched, and his sleeves were even torn with a knife.
"Come here! Kill someone! Kill someone!"
The Han soldiers outside felt a little weird.
Great envoy of the Wei Dynasty, are you looking for help from the Han army?
"Jiang Gan! I, Man Chong, vow to get rid of the thieves today!"
Man Chong shouted loudly and continued to stab Jiang Gan, but the latter kept dodging and scurrying away without the slightest bit of gentlemanly demeanor.
It's a pity that nowadays life-saving is more important and no one cares about demeanor.
The Han soldiers thought the two were joking, but when they saw Jiang Gan's clothes were disheveled and his sleeves were torn, they stepped forward to open the door.
"Jiang Gan! Don't think that the Han army can save you!"
"Man Boning! I must go back and report to Your Majesty!"
The Han soldiers protected Jiang Gan, and then took Man Chong back to the house again and confiscated the meat cleaver to prevent such a thing from happening again.
Jiang Qian walked through the gate of hell once, and he finally understood the reason.
Man Chong must have belonged to Liu Bei and his son, so the two sides staged a scene to induce Jiang Qian to meet with him alone.
Then he took the opportunity to kill Jiang Gan!
Anyway, it was Man Chong who killed the envoy, not the Han army. Man Chong accepted the surrender letter as a matter of course, and it was only he, Jiang Gan, who died unjustly!
Thinking of this, how could Jiang Qian still have the intention to see Liu Mang again?
He directly chose to contact the Tongque people to escort him north and leave Xiangyang as soon as possible.
"Fuck! Why did this guy leave without saying goodbye?"
"Guan still wants to have a heart-to-heart relationship with him and ask him to be careful in Cao Ying!"
Guan Yu caressed his beautiful beard. Who would have thought that yesterday he was pushing cups and changing cups, but today Jiang Qian would have run away.
"This Jiang Gan is too cautious! How can he be put in danger in his own territory?"
Zhang Fei cursed angrily.
Only Zhao Yun knew clearly that these two men had obviously misunderstood Jiang Gan's identity.
"Alas! Man Chong is so strong that he kills him directly!"
"Fortunately, Jiang Gan reacted quickly enough, otherwise he would have been killed directly by Man Chong."
Liu Mang crossed his legs. Now he was very sure that Jiang Gan would report directly to Cao Pi when he returned to Luoyang. Man Chong had betrayed Cao Wei and surrendered to Shu Han.
"It's time to move the chess pieces in Luoyang and let them transfer Lord Mandarin's family to Xiangyang as soon as possible!"
Jiang Gan fled in a hurry, and Man Chong still felt annoyed.
Thinking about it makes me scared for a while. Who would have thought that people like Jiang Gan were lurking in the Cao Wei court!
If he hadn't been so smart and saw through Jiang Gan's disguise, His Majesty might still have been kept in the dark.
How can such spies serve as his envoys to Cao Wei?
It's a pity that the soldiers of the Han army were too fast, so he couldn't kill this thief!
Man Chong is getting angrier and angrier now, and plans to eat more today!
Even if he is in the Han army camp, he will be poor and defeat Liu Mang and remain loyal to the Wei Dynasty!
…
Ten days later.
Jiang Gan kept running and finally rushed back to Luoyang.
The first thing I did when I came back was to report to Cao Pi.
"Your Majesty! Man Chong has betrayed him! Man Chong has betrayed him!"
"Weichen was almost killed by him with a knife. Look at the injuries on his body!"
"Fortunately, I am feeding the tiger with my own body, and now that I know that this person has turned against me, Your Majesty will no longer have a headache!"
Jiang Gan burst into tears and told Cao Pi everything about his trip.
"Man Chong, he is so brave!"
"Thankfully, the late emperor treated him with courtesy and even allowed him to guard one side!"
"This person actually betrayed me, the Wei Dynasty, and wanted to kill my envoy!"
Cao Pi was furious and directly ordered: "Capture the entire Man Chong family for me!"
"I want to interrogate him personally to see if Man Chong has been disobedient for a long time!"
Chen Qun and Sima Yi looked at each other and both felt that something was fishy.
However, in order to protect their own safety, they did not directly dissuade him, but remained silent.
"His Majesty!"
At this time, someone stepped out, and Cao Pi saw that it was Xun You.
"I don't know what's fair, what's your opinion?"
"Your Majesty, Man Boning is a famous scholar from the Central Plains and has noble aspirations. He is definitely not a treasonous person who surrenders to the enemy."
Xun You bowed and saluted: "I hope your Majesty will think twice before acting, and don't let the hearts of famous people in the Central Plains get cold!"
"Even if Man Chong really surrenders to the enemy, there is a last resort reason."
"If Your Majesty could treat his family well, wouldn't he be more popular?"
After thinking about it, Cao Pi felt that it made sense.
"Your Majesty! Doesn't Xun Gongda's words mean that the humble minister is talking nonsense?"
Jiang Gan was furious when he heard this and took off his clothes, revealing the wounds all over his body that were scratched by Man Chong.
"Xun Gongda, see clearly! These wounds are all caused by Man Chong!"
"If he didn't betray the country and surrender to the enemy, why did he kill me like this?"
"Don't tell others to do good without suffering others' suffering!"
When Cao Pi heard this, he became suspicious like his father again.
What Jiang Gan said makes sense. If the knife hadn't been too small, Jiang Gan might have died.
Killing the envoys of the Wei Dynasty without permission is a slap in the face of the emperor!
What's more, at such a critical moment, only Jiang Gan was willing to serve as the envoy and go to Jingzhou.
If Jiang Gan is not given an explanation, who will be willing to support Cao Pi in the future?
Thinking of this, Cao Pi made a quick decision.
"Man Boning's assassination of my envoy was clearly disloyal to the Wei Dynasty and disrespectful to me!"
"If I appease his family, how can I face the loyal ministers who have gone deep into the enemy camp?"
"Don't worry, dear, I will definitely give you an explanation!"
When Xun You saw this, he could only sigh. He had done everything he could do.
The rest is left to the Manchong family to seek their own blessings!
Once in jail, it is very likely that you will be beaten into submission!
"Wei Chen, thank you, Your Majesty!"
Jiang Gan knelt down and kowtowed. Cao Pi smiled slightly and gently helped him up.
"My dear, no courtesy, so you can go and get the person yourself!"
Jiang Gan was flattered, and at the same time he felt a sense of revenge.
"Man Boning, Man Boning, let you kill me!"
"Now I'm going to take your family to task!"
Jiang Gan led a group of soldiers and went to Man Chong's mansion in person.
Only after entering the mansion did I find that Man Chong's family had left Luoyang a few days ago on the grounds of worshiping their ancestors!
As for those who stayed, they were all handymen who were old, weak, sick or disabled.
Even if they were captured, it would be of no use.
"Man Boning, you have indeed taken refuge with Liu Mang, now you are convinced!"
Everyone who followed Jiang Gan became witnesses.
When Cao Pi heard the news, he became furious and labeled Man Chong as a sinner of Cao Wei.
"When we meet on the battlefield in the future, I will definitely kill Man Chong!"
