Looking at Ye Tie walking in, Ye Mingsheng put down his tea cup and asked calmly:
"Is it still about Bae Ji Soo?"
"Master, she has not behaved unusually during this period."
After shaking his head and explaining, Ye Tie lowered his voice and said proactively without Ye Mingsheng asking again:
"Master, when I went to Guangshun Marquis to submit official documents today, I heard a piece of news. It was said that half a month ago, the imperial court and Luo Bei's mission reached an agreement. Luo Bei promised not to invade the palace. Xuanwu Army and The cavalry army has already started preparing to return to the court, and by this time we have arrived at Youyan."
After hearing the news, Ye Mingsheng's expression changed slightly, he pondered for a moment, and said, "Who did you listen to?"
"Master, you arranged for me to submit the official document to Mr. Chen in person, so when I was waiting for Mr. Chen to summon him in the side room of the Marquis Mansion, I heard a commander named Qin talking to a general. Yes." Ye Tie said calmly:
After getting the answer, Ye Mingsheng didn't say anything and continued to ask: "Apart from this, is there any other news?"
"They also said that the scope of activities of the Zhenwu Army may not be limited to Liaoyang. In all likelihood, some troops will be stationed in the palace capital to ensure the imperial court's control over the palace capital... ···”
"The commander surnamed Qin and the general were called into the study by Lord Chen not long after, so that's all I heard!" Ye Tie recalled the situation at that time and introduced it to Ye Mingsheng. :
Ye Mingsheng nodded when he heard this and said with a smile: "I understand the situation. Thank you for your hard work."
"As long as I can contribute to the young master's future, Ye Tie won't have to work hard no matter what!" Ye Tie bowed and said:
After praising Ye Tie for his loyalty, Ye Mingsheng asked him to go down and do some work. He came to the center of the yard alone and walked slowly around the lush jujube tree... ···
The Xuanwu Army and the Cavalry Army returned to the court, which meant that his old boss, Zhenyuan Marquis Xu Zhaojie, was coming back. Although Ye Mingsheng felt a little sudden when he heard the news.
But if you think about it carefully, this is actually a reasonable thing. After all, Ye Mingsheng has been back to Luo'an for several months.
The two Forbidden Forces under Xu Zhaojie's tens of thousands of troops have wiped out all the opposition forces in the palace and have the palace under control. If they were not worried about the Luobei people on the grassland, they would invade the palace again. The Gongdu army supported by the Forbidden Army could not stop the Luobei people's offensive. The Forbidden Army had already returned to the court and would not wait until now.
Now that an agreement has been reached with the Luobi people, the withdrawal of troops is naturally a matter of course!
If what Ye Tie heard is correct, Xu Zhaojie's army has already arrived at Youyan, and it will take less than ten days to return to Luo'an!
Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng raised his head and looked in the direction of Dongfang Youyan, and a sneer appeared on his face.
Because he was appointed by Chen Dechang as the vanguard of the Zhenwu Army and was going to Liaoyang on the seventh day of next month, he thought he would have no chance to meet his old boss Xu Zhaojie, but now it seems that he and Xu Zhaojie may be together in Luoan There is another side of fate...
·················
·················
Late at night, in Pingyang City, in the main camp of the Xuanwu Army.
Xu Zhaojie put down the letter in his hand and looked at the person delivering the letter in front of him. A warrior in black asked
"What else did Duke Cheng Guo say?"
The black-clothed warrior shook his head and said: "Before leaving, Chengguo Public Transport Agent has done all he can do. The rest will be left to Mr. Xu to make your own decisions. There is nothing else to explain."
After hearing this, Xu Zhaojie thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Go back and tell Duke Cheng that I will arrive in Luo'an in seven days!"
Regarding Xu Zhaojie's decision, the warrior in black who was responsible for delivering the message naturally had no objection. He bowed to Xu Zhaojie, then walked out of the tent and disappeared into the dark night...
After the black warrior left, Xu Zhaojie picked up the autographed letter written to him by Zhao Yuanan, Duke Cheng, and looked at it carefully again.
With more than a hundred words of content, Xu Zhaojie had to read it for a full cup of tea before placing it on the desk and rubbing the bridge of his nose tiredly.
After massaging for a while, Xu Zhaojie felt better and said in a deep voice: "Invite Taoist Master Mingcang to me!"
"Yes!" the guard outside the camp responded immediately.
After a while, a thin old man wearing a gray Taoist robe, holding a fly whisk, and a kind-faced old man came to Xu Zhaojie.
Looking at Xu Zhaojie's gloomy face, Taoist Master Ming Cang smiled slightly, but Xu Zhaojie couldn't help but said, "It seems that the Marquis has already met the envoy of Duke Cheng Guo!"
Xu Zhaojie did not refute the old Taoist priest's temptation, which was regarded as acquiescing to his guess.
Seeing his expression, Taoist Master Mingcang seemed a little disappointed, and said lightly: "I didn't expect that Mr. Xu Hou, you still chose to go back to the capital with your hands tied!"
This time Xu Zhaojie finally stopped being silent and said with a wry smile: "Governor Zhao and Taoist Master Mingcang really think highly of me, Xu Zhaojie, but they also look down on him, Shangguan Hongyuan..."
When the old Taoist priest heard this, he raised his eyebrows as if he wanted to say something, but before he could speak, Xu Zhaojie shook his head and said:
"Before I received the letter from Duke Cheng, I had almost decided to join forces with Governor Zhao to kill the cavalry army."
"I'm not afraid of Taoist Priest Mingcang's jokes. Duke Cheng Guo gave me news that my subordinate Cai Pengbo has received money from the Supervision Department..."
After hearing this, Taoist Priest Ming Cang, who originally wanted to persuade Xu Zhaojie, had a look of surprise in his eyes. Since he could come to see Xu Zhaojie on behalf of Youyan Governor Zhao Fuqu, Xu Zhaojie had naturally investigated carefully.
If he remembered correctly, this Cai Pengbo was Xu Zhaojie's confidant, and the three thousand troops under his command were also the elite of the Xuanwu Army.
After thinking for a while, the old Taoist priest shook the fly whisk in his hand, a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Since we already know that Cai Pengbo is unreliable, it is better to get rid of him!"
"It's not like I didn't think about what the Taoist Master said just now, but the Taoist Master should know that Cai Pengbo is one of my close subordinates, Mr. Xu. Since he may be bribed by the Supervision Department, what about the other people under me? "Xu Zhaojie shook his head and said very melancholy:
