Zhang Jing, the governor of Jiangnan, was originally the Minister of War in Nanjing. Later, when the Japanese pirates became rampant, the imperial court appointed Zhang Jing as the governor of Jiangnan to control the troops and horses in the entire south to destroy the Japanese pirates.
In other words, Zhang Jing is Yu Dayou's immediate boss, and Yu Dayou is the most respected and capable among Zhang Jing's generals.
The plan set up by Xiao Feng and Yu Dayou this time to lure snakes out of their caves is actually a series of tricks. The first link is to use surrendered Japanese pirates to lure out the White Lotus cultists in the coastal areas and catch them all in one go.
The second link is that if Xiao Qin is related to the Japanese pirates along the coast, then the Japanese pirates will definitely cooperate with the White Lotus Sect and come out to attack the east and west to attract Yu Dayou's troops.
So Yu Dayou greeted Governor Zhang Jing in advance and prepared troops and horses. When Yu Dayou fought a bloody battle with the White Lotus Sect, Zhang Jing mobilized his troops to surround and annihilate the Japanese pirates brought out by Luo Wenlong to cause trouble.
Luo Wenlong escaped with his life by luck, but suffered heavy losses. The Japanese pirates, who have always been as difficult to catch and fight as loaches, suffered such a big loss in coastal areas for the first time.
In the third stage, after Xiao Qin failed, he would inevitably think that he had failed many times because of Xiao Feng's word-testing skills and cunning bastard. If there was a chance to kill Xiao Feng, he would definitely not let it go.
Therefore, after Xiao Feng got the news of Yu Dayou's victory, he immediately requested an order to go to Datong. On the surface, he helped Qiu Luan establish his authority and stabilize the mutual market. In fact, it gave Xiao Qin a good opportunity to assassinate him.
Xiao Feng took Zhang Wuxin and his guards. If he wanted to assassinate him, it would definitely not be enough to rely on the drug seller hidden in the capital. Even if he added the Rouge sisters, it would be difficult.
In such a tight time, Brother Qin didn't have time to come over personally to give Brother Feng a lift, so he could only remotely mobilize the power of the White Lotus Sect hidden near the front line of Xuanda University to assist.
Qi Jiguang's cavalry was following from a distance. When they saw the fireworks signal, they immediately marched over. As long as Xiao Feng and the others could hold on for a while, they would win without a doubt.
However, Xiao Feng did not expect that the White Lotus Church would have such a treasure as Wujinsi. Apart from Zhang Wuxin, the two most powerful Jin Yiwei among the entourage fell first at the beginning.
Therefore, the bait almost turned into fish food. If Xiao Feng hadn't made great progress in martial arts recently and withstood the Rouge Tiger's three moves, Qi Jiguang would have been able to surround and suppress the enemy when he arrived and transport Xiao Feng's body back to Beijing.
Xiao Feng's three strategies of luring snakes out of their caves resulted in either great victory or miserable victory. Both the Japanese pirates and the White Lotus Sect suffered heavy losses and their vitality was severely damaged.
But in the court, Yan Shifan got back the result. He sent Zhao Wenhua and cooperated with his godfather inside and outside, brought down Zhang Jing, gave Yu Dayou a blow, and openly let Dongchang take over the key to Kirigakure Fifty-Six
evidence of guilt.
When Xiao Feng hurried back to the capital, Yan Shifan specially received the order and greeted the imperial envoy at the gate of the city. The two enemies met with smiles on their faces.
"Thank you, Mr. Xiao, for your hard work. Long Live sent someone to welcome the imperial envoy into the city. I specially requested an order to welcome the imperial envoy. I wonder if the imperial envoy has heard about Zhang Jingtong's bandit conspiracy on the way?"
Xiao Feng smiled and nodded: "What did Master Yan say? It's too far away and I can't hear clearly. I would like to ask Master Yan something."
If your beauty doesn't stay well in Yan Mansion, why does she hang out with people of unknown origin and even scratch my paw?"
Xiao Feng raised his right hand, which was still tied with white gauze. Sure enough, it was stained with blood. Yan Shifan smiled slightly and expressed that he was very surprised.
"Master Xiao, you are wrong. My beauty is naturally raised at home. You said that my beauty grabbed your hand. Do you have any evidence?
Has anyone among your men seen it? How can you confirm that it is my beauty? Besides, Mr. Xiao, you have a unique taste, who knows who scratched you?"
Xiao Feng frowned and leaned his ears forward: "We haven't seen each other for a long time. What's wrong with your throat, Mr. Yan? Did you take too much medicine? I really can't hear clearly.
Long live I asked you to come and greet me, but you didn’t even say a word to me, it’s too perfunctory.”
Yan Shifan looked at the distance between himself and Xiao Feng, and then looked at the welcoming officials and soldiers behind him, and concluded that Xiao Feng would never dare to repeat the fight in Dali Temple in front of everyone.
He asked for the order this time because he was very proud of his clever plan and wanted to suppress Xiao Feng's arrogance in front of the officials. So.
It must not be done with just a few words.
Otherwise, it’s like some things only have a process and no results, and the other party doesn’t respond at all, and you rely entirely on your own efforts, which always makes you feel very unsatisfied.
Therefore, Xiao Feng's behavior of pretending to be crazy and unable to hear clearly, he must expose him. He is far away from him, and even if he says he cannot hear clearly, others think it is possible.
Then he should get closer. Xiao Feng didn't dare to make a move anyway. With this in mind, Yan Shifan drove his horse forward, and the officials and welcoming guards behind him naturally followed suit and walked out of the city gate.
Yan Shifan was smiling. Now that the distance was close enough, Xiao Feng couldn't make sense even if he couldn't hear clearly. He was just embarrassed. So now he could mock him as much as he wanted, but he could only listen.
Just as Yan Shifan was about to speak, Xiao Feng's face turned serious and he shouted coldly: "Kneel down!"
Yan Shifan blinked, completely confused: "What did you say?"
"I said get down on your knees!"
"Why?"
"At this time, we are all outside the city gate. Before entering the city, I am still the imperial envoy. I said kneel down!"
Only then did Yan Shifan understand why Xiao Feng was pretending not to be able to hear. He was trying to lure him out of the city gate! What a loss to Xiao Feng!
Xiao Feng knew that as long as he did not enter the city, his status as imperial envoy would still exist, but his status as imperial envoy could not control the affairs inside the city gate! But now Yan Shifan is out of the city!
Yan Shifan held back his anger, his mind was spinning rapidly, and his one eye suddenly lit up.
"Master Xiao, although you are an imperial envoy, I am here to welcome the imperial envoy into the city. You cannot order me to kneel down for no reason. There is no reason to kneel down when welcoming an imperial envoy!"
Xiao Feng smiled coldly, took out the imperial edict from his arms, and slowly unfolded it: "I'm going to declare the edict. I always stand to receive edicts. I don't know if it matters if others do this."
Of course it does matter! If Xiao Feng doesn't kneel down when he sees Long Live, that's because Long Live has specially approved it. The imperial envoy holds the imperial edict, which means Long Live wants to speak to you. If you see Long Live, you don't have to kneel down, and of course you don't have to kneel under the imperial decree.
But Yan Shifan does not have this privilege! Not only Yan Shifan, currently only Xiao Feng and Tao Zhongwen in the capital have this privilege, not even Yan Song! This is the special thing about Emperor Daojun.
Therefore, Xiao Feng wants to declare an edict to Yan Shifan. If Yan Shifan really dares to stand up and accept the edict and tell the truth, he will not be able to escape the crime of disrespect!
Yan Shifan gritted his steel teeth, not believing that Xiao Feng would carry Long Live's will for him, because it made no sense at all! Kanshu La
"Your Majesty, Imperial Envoy, is this imperial edict really for me? You should know that falsely proclaiming the imperial edict is also disrespectful and is guilty of treason, which is an extra level!"
Xiao Feng stopped talking to Yan Shifan at all. At this time, the imperial edict had been unfolded. He picked it up and said, "Feng Tiancheng..."
When the first word "Feng" came out, Yan Shifan had already knelt down. He didn't dare to bet! Ninety-nine percent of Xiao Feng was a false edict, it couldn't be for him!
But he didn't dare to gamble, what if? What if? Xiao Feng, a bastard, can do all kinds of weird things!
Together, Xiao Qin and I lost to Xiao Feng in three games. I finally managed to win back a game, so I had to be on guard against capsizing in the ditch.
What's more, I just knelt down. If Xiao Feng really had a purpose for me, then I would not have been tricked, and Xiao Feng would not have taken advantage.
If Xiao Feng had falsely conveyed the imperial edict, then now that he had knelt down, Xiao Feng would have been unable to dismount: If he had proclaimed the edict, he would have been falsely conveying the imperial edict, and would have been guilty of conspiracy and treason. If he had not proclaimed it, he would have knelt down, and so many people would have been killed.
Look, how does Xiao Feng justify himself?
Xiao Fengping held the imperial edict and read out each word one by one. He wanted to drag out the words so long that he would drool. But the more Yan Shifan listened, the more strange he became. In this edict, Jiajing asked Xiao Feng to properly handle the affairs of Datong.
Ah, you didn’t mention yourself even half a word!
But he didn't dare to stand up yet, because he was afraid that as soon as he stood up on his front foot, Xiao Feng on his back foot would say something about himself.
A whole stick of incense time passed. Xiao Feng finally finished reading and closed the imperial edict slowly. Yan
Shifan was so angry that he stood up, dragging his painful and numb legs, pointed at Xiao Feng and shouted angrily.
"You! You are falsely preaching the imperial edict! You are committing a heinous crime!"
Xiao Feng glanced at Yan Shifan in surprise, but ignored him. He just held up the imperial edict and spoke earnestly to the officials who came to greet him.
"My lords, Xiao Feng Bucai has taken the decree to go to Datong to work. In the long-lived decree, all your lords have heard the importance of mutual trading. Xiao
Before Xiao Feng left for the trip, he specifically asked Long Live for approval. In order to let everyone know that Ming Dynasty attaches great importance to mutual trade, he allowed me to inform others of the content of his decree when necessary.
This time in Datong, I read the imperial edict in public. Not only the officials and soldiers, but also the Khan and Mongolian people of all ethnic groups in the mutual market felt deeply the grace of Long Live the Divine Grace and shouted loudly for the Ming Dynasty and Long Live the Great Ming Dynasty!"
All the officials nodded. Seeing that Xiao Feng ignored him, Yan Shifan continued to roar: "Don't change the subject! Let me ask you, this decree obviously has nothing to do with me, how dare you pretend to pass on the imperial decree!"
Xiao Feng finally responded to him: "Master Yan, what you said is wrong. What do you mean by falsely preaching the imperial edict? Could it be that the imperial edict I read is false?
You can come forward and have a look. If I miss a word, I will admit the crime. But you don’t have the status of an imperial envoy. If you want to read the imperial edict, I’m afraid you will have to kneel down again.”
Yan Shifan was so angry that he rushed forward two steps: "I didn't say that the imperial edict was false, but this imperial edict was not given to me, yet you asked me to kneel down to receive it. It was clearly a false edict!"
All the officials looked at Xiao Feng. Many of these officials were members of the Yan Party, so they naturally followed Yan Shifan's lead in making noises. Even officials who were not members of the Yan Party felt that Yan Shifan's words were reasonable and couldn't help but sweat for Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng was very surprised and looked at Yan Shifan innocently: "What did I say to make you kneel down?"
Yan Shifan said angrily: "You said you were an imperial envoy, and you said you kneel down!"
Xiao Feng nodded repeatedly: "That's right, my exact words were: 'I am the imperial envoy, and I said kneel down!' I agree with this, but I didn't tell anyone to kneel down!"
Yan Shifan was stunned, and his mind was racing through Xiao Feng's words, from beginning to end. (I believe many people are also frantically scrolling up on their phones...)
It seems, seems, probably, maybe, maybe, as if, vaguely, maybe, almost... He really didn't say it!
He didn't say he wanted anyone to kneel down, nor did he ask anyone to kneel down. He just said he was an imperial envoy. He said kneeling down. He said he could stand and receive orders. He didn't know if others could do that!
What a fucking bastard! Yan Shifan, for no reason, knelt down to hold a stick of incense for Xiao Feng in front of countless onlookers and court officials in the capital.
The most ridiculous thing is that only Yan Shifan knelt down, and no one else knelt down, because everyone else thought that Xiao Feng was announcing an edict to Yan Shifan, and they were not Yan Shifan's followers or family members, so they naturally had no reason to kneel down.
Yan Shifan originally hoped to use Zhang Jing's incident to suppress Xiao Feng's momentum and let everyone know that the Yan Party was still the biggest, and Xiao Feng couldn't do it!
But now this hope can no longer be realized. Xiao Feng rode on his horse and looked at Yan Shifan who was standing on the ground with a smile on his knees, his legs still shaking slightly, and whispered in a kind voice.
"Yan Shifan, I am not a god. You and Xiao Qin are both extremely smart people. In this game of chess, if you two play against me, I can't always win.
But I promise, I will win until the end, until you are no longer qualified to sit around and play chess in this world, and until you have no chance to harm the people or the Ming Dynasty!"
