After the messenger finished speaking, he bowed slightly to Lu Fangxuan.
These words played right into his heart. Lu Fangxuan pretended to be calm and replied: "I also hate Liu Dang deeply and have wanted to kill him for a long time. Unfortunately, I have not been able to do it many times, and I was almost trapped in Yuefu. Having learned from the past, I will be a good student today." Consider it. Afterwards, I will definitely give you an answer from the Lord."
"Yue Gong, I will go back to deliver the message," the visitor glanced at Qi Zi, "but I would like to advise you all: if you hesitate again, the prince will be one step ahead. Farewell!" The man raised his sleeves and left.
"Lord Lu!" Qi Zi immediately knelt down on the ground, "Qi Mou could see at a glance that this was Wan He Shunji's plan! He clearly wanted you to wade through this muddy water and you would not be able to escape! If there is such a beautiful thing, , he did it quietly by himself, how could he discuss it with Mr. Lu?"
He stared and waited for Lu Fangxuan's intention. But after being frozen for a while, the latter still didn't make a sound.
"You can't..."
"Hey, ask Commander Zheng to come with us and think about it carefully." Lu Fangxuan sighed and pinched his beard.
"Commander Qi, even if you hate Wan Dang extremely, you should not act recklessly and waste the opportunity." Zheng Shiyan came up and patted Qi Zi on the shoulder.
Qi Zi turned his head: "Then tell me, why is he, a capricious villain, showing off his courtesy for no reason?"
"He is afraid that he will be alone," Zheng Shiyan sat aside, "and he will not be able to do it. In addition, he is testing our ideas because he is afraid of future worries. Is this possible?"
Qi Zi was speechless for a moment, then lowered his head and sneered.
"Commander Zheng's words are actually not all conjecture. I think they are defensible." Lu Fangxuan obviously leaned towards Zheng Shiyan, "If he wants to win a complete victory from the party struggle, then he cannot let the Liu Party in After the death, the fisherman will benefit, so he wants to use the trick of borrowing a knife to kill people."
"However, we can't figure out the situation in Donkey Skin Lane now. We rely on Wan Dang's eyes and ears for news. We might as well...wait for two days until he really decides to move, and then we won't make any move later." Zheng Shiyan said cautiously.
Even Qi Zi was dissatisfied with these words: "Either you do as I say, or you are determined to do something ruthless. What's the point of hesitating! By the time the relocation has started, it will be too late!"
Lu Fangxuan nodded: "Commander Qi's words are true. When Old Thief Liu has not carried out the imperial edict, let's start together!"
He came down from the hall, pointed at Qi Zi and said, "Get your horses ready. The two of us will go to Donkey Skin Alley. Commander Zheng will guard the house and observe what's going on."
"Yes." Although Zheng Shiyan felt strange, he had no objection.
"Yue Gong, I would like to ask you to adjust my position with Zheng Shiyan." Qi Zi was not very happy and hurriedly declined.
Lu Fangxuan laughed and said: "Commanders all, it is normal for us to have differences of opinion in our words. How can we disobey orders because of this? We have the same temperament as a child!"
After Qi Zi heard this, he clasped his fists and said, "The official made a mistake... I just listen to Lu Gong's orders!"
"... Sir Yan," the little eunuch's face turned yellow and he swallowed, "the two thieves, Lu Fangxuan and Qi Zi, are waiting outside the alley, hoping to meet the minister."
Yan Liang stood up and said: "What? Is His Majesty's imperial decree here?"
"No……"
"You!" Yan Liang wanted to yell, but he didn't dare to say anything. After thinking about it, he struggled to take a few breaths, turned around and said to the young eunuch: "The matter has reached this point, what's the use of blaming you! Forget it! Forget it... let's call Lu Fangxuan inside to talk."
Lu Fangxuan held the sword in his left hand, pushed open the door with his right hand, stepped in with his left foot, and stood still with his right foot. Then he looked at Yan Liang with piercing eyes, hugged his fist tightly and said, "The countryman Lu is here to see Yan Liang!"
Yan Liang was still reading when he saw Lu Fangxuan coming. He threw away the book and returned the greeting: "Master Lu is as noble as a prince, why should he be too modest? Just sit down."
Two servants brought out two stools, and Lu and Qi sat down.
"May I ask why you two came to Donkey Skin Alley?" Yan Liang asked uncomfortably.
Lu Fangxuan said with a smile: "I heard that the people in Donkeypi Lane are unhappy, and I am worried about it. It is said that Lu is also the counselor of Nanjing's military affairs. If there are changes in the city, it is also the fault of the ministers. How can we serve the court in vain!"
After hearing this, Yan Liang was very interested in taking over Donkey Skin Alley, and he couldn't help but feel nervous. He hurriedly answered: "Everyone in the imperial court is influenced by the holy virtues. If Nanjing can be made aware of the emperor's virtues, we ministers will definitely work hard."
Just as Lu Fangxuan was savoring the meaning of his words, he suddenly heard someone shouting from outside the house: "Your Majesty has issued an edict, please ask the minister to take over -"
"Look, as soon as I mentioned the imperial court, the imperial court sent someone. Sit down, you two!" Yan Liang immediately became energetic as if seeing nectar, and ran away with one step and two steps. Seeing that there were many people around him, Lu Fangxuan glanced at Qi Zi - to see if the information Wan Heshun gave him was true or false.
While Lu Dang was anxiously waiting for Yan Liang's return, Taiwei Guifu had already started writing in Wanfu and drafted a new edict. This matter was discussed with Liu Zhennian. Guifu thought, "Since Donkeypixiang asked for the edict, every move will be in the eyes of thousands of thieves. If you don't give the order quickly, it will be delayed even more, and the matter will be difficult to solve. It is better to issue the edict in full on the initial plan, so as not to delay the court." "Stuck in a quagmire, never pull out" sounded very reasonable, so it was adopted by Liu Zhennian.
Perhaps this was not a good strategy, because the contents of the edict were quickly learned by Wan Heshun's eyes and ears. In this way, Liu Dang's actions in Donkey Skin Alley were fully controlled by Wan Dang and were almost transparent.
"Oops!" Wan Heshun clapped his hands and laughed, "People say Guifu is mediocre, and I think it's absolutely true! He gave the old thief a bad idea!"
Those close friends also celebrated with their hats, but Hu Qi sat upright and didn't take it seriously.
"Hu Shangshu, why are you..." Wan Heshun walked to Hu Qi's side.
"It depends on whether the Mainland Party can fall into my trap. This is the key."
"Didn't they enter Donkey Skin Alley?" Wan Heshun was not worried and stroking the beard under his chin confidently, "You can be confident that success is just around the corner!"
Yan Liang lit three sticks of incense, placed the edict squarely in front of the incense table, kowtowed respectfully, then dusted off his clothes and stood up.
"Shilang Yan, what do you mean by your Majesty's words...?" Lu Fangxuan finally lost his temper and asked boldly.
Yan Liang was silent for a moment, thinking: "Since this guy has come here at this time, he must know our strategy. It is useless to hide it. It is better to tell it to eliminate his doubts and figure it out slowly." After thinking about it, he told the truth: "The Emperor said that the relatives and family members of the condemned criminals in Donkey Skin Lane are innocent. They can be driven to a place close to the outside of the city to place their tombs."
After Lu Fangxuan heard this, he and Qi Zi looked at each other, their eyes locked - it seemed that what Wan Heshun said was true.
"Cough cough cough." Qi Zi coughed meaningfully, which scared Yan Liang and raised his head suddenly.
"The so-called adapting to local conditions means that you cannot copy the words of the imperial court. You think so, Minister Yan?" Qi Zi said coldly.
