Jiangdu's Guanyi was also renovated from a Mongolian nobleman's mansion. It had always been deserted, but this time it was lively.
In addition to Liu Futong's envoy Du Zundao, Zhang Shicheng, Xu Shouhui, Bu Wangsan, Zhang Chun, Meng Haima, etc. also sent envoys.
Du Zundao took his entourage back to the hotel, ordered his entourage to guard the black horse, and then returned to the room. Suddenly, a man with a tall forehead and a wide face walked towards him in the corridor and stopped in front of him.
Du Zundao smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "This is Mr. Yuan Guogong. Long time no see. How are you doing lately?"
The high-dollar man was Tianwanjun Ou Puxiang. He stared at Du Zundao with cold eyes and said word by word: "Thanks to your grace, our Tianwanjun has lost its capital!"
Du Zundao said with a smile: "Dong Yuan is joking. It was Dong Tuanxiao who captured the capital of your army. What does it have to do with me?"
Ou Puxiang said coldly: "But it was your Jiangbei Army who suggested that we attack Hangzhou in the first place. You also said that as long as we capture Hangzhou, you will surrender to our army!"
Du Zundao sighed and said: "We were in a difficult situation at that time, and we did have the intention to merge with your army. It's a pity that your army failed to hold Hangzhou!"
Ou Puxiang said angrily: "Fart! I have already checked. Since Yuan Ting transferred his troops to the south, you have been recruiting troops and accumulating strength. You have been taking advantage of us!"
Du Zundao frowned and said: "We are being forced very hard by Chahan Timur. We have no choice but to rapidly strengthen ourselves. Isn't Yuan Guogong thinking too much?"
Ou Puxiang said bitterly: "No matter how you argue, since we attacked Hangzhou, our Tianwan Army has been in a hard fight, but your Jiangbei Army has been able to hide its capabilities and bide its time and accumulate strength!"
Du Zundao said lightly: "Don't forget, if we hadn't been in the north at the beginning, would your Jiangnan Army have developed so rapidly?"
Ou Puxiang took a deep breath and said: "Okay, Mr. Du, our Tianwan Army will never forget what happened this time. Let's wait and see!" He flicked his sleeves and strode away.
Du Zundao sighed and stood still for a long time before moving on.
After returning to the house, Du Zundao poured himself a cup of tea and drank it. He sat on a chair with his eyes flashing in thought.
The young man in yellow clothes on the side said: "Military advisor, it's getting late, so my subordinates have to leave first!"
Du Zundao nodded and said unexpectedly: "Brother Fu, will we have a chance to meet again in the future?"
The young man in yellow shuddered and said with a forced smile: "Where do you start with these words?"
Du Zundao sighed again and said: "The reason why you volunteered to be my bodyguard this time is to come to Jiangdu and join your old master!"
The face of the young man in yellow changed. Xuan'er regained his composure and said with a smile: "Since you have seen through it, I won't hide it anymore. Yes, I plan to vote for Marshal Li."
"He is no longer a marshal, but now he is just an ordinary general of Jiangdu Army!"
The young man in yellow said one word at a time: "As long as he is alive, I will serve under him forever!"
Du Zundao raised his head and stared at him, saying: "Brother Fu, our Jiangbei Army has been quietly accumulating strength for the past year, and it is about to reach the time of great achievements. Don't you think it's a pity for you to leave now?"
The young man in yellow said loudly: "You can fight against the Yuan Dynasty even in Jiangdu. I have already made up my mind. There is no need for the military adviser to persuade you!"
Du Zundao sighed: "Among the young generals of our Jiangbei Army, I have always been most optimistic about you. I wanted to entrust you with a heavy responsibility, but it's a pity, it's a pity! Forget it, since you have made up your mind, go ahead!"
The young man in yellow cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much, military advisor, for your generosity. I'll take my leave now." He turned around and strode out of the room.
After the young man in yellow clothes left Du Zundao's room, he strode towards the door. When passing by a courtyard, he suddenly stopped and turned around, only to see three people standing in the courtyard.
To be precise, two men were confronting a young man in white robes. A skinny monkey-like man said coldly: "Boy, why are we talking behind our backs? We will say the same thing in front of you!" p>
The young man in white robe said: "Everyone in the world says that Bu Wangsan and Meng Haima are heroes of the world, but they didn't expect that the envoys they sent were so miserable. It's really unbelievable!"
Another burly man sneered: "Among the rebels, they all say that Zhang Jiusi is a Yangzhou rat. After meeting you today, we have confirmed this!"
The young man in white robe was Bian Yuanheng, who came to celebrate the wedding on behalf of Zhang Shicheng. He looked coldly and said: "I know who the rat is!"
It turned out that when Bian Yuanheng was walking in the corridor just now, he discovered that the two envoys were talking about Zhang Shicheng behind his back. In their words, they belittled Zhang Shicheng to the point of being useless, and even ridiculed his move to change his name and become king.
Bian Yuanheng was very angry, so he stopped the two people and argued with them.
The thin monkey envoy sneered: "Zhang Jiusi's Gaoyou was fought with the help of Jiangdu's army, so what qualifications do you have to be king?"
Bian Yuanheng said: "There is no need to explain to you how our army obtained Gaoyou. Your North Lock Red Army and South Lock Red Army have loud names, but they only lose battles and rely on Xu Shouhui to survive. Now that Xu Shouhui can't protect himself, you probably insist on it too
It won’t be long.”
The strong envoy said angrily: "You fart! Now the Xuzhou Yuan army is about to move south in a large scale. I think you will be the first to perish!"
Bian Yuanheng shook his head and said: "I have nothing to say to people like you, so I'm leaving." He turned around and left.
"Stop!" The strong envoy stretched out his left hand to grab Bian Yuanheng, but the latter dodged. In anger, he made a fist with his right hand and punched him.
Bian Yuanheng stretched out his hand to pinch the opponent's fist and slowly rotated it. The strong envoy screamed in pain, and felt that his fist seemed to be trapped in an iron hoop. No matter how hard he tried, he could not break free.
The young man in yellow nodded secretly and thought to himself: "Zhang Shicheng has such an outstanding person, so it is obvious that he is not an ordinary person." He stopped looking at it and walked out of the hotel.
It was already hazy outside, and there were not many pedestrians on the street.
The young man in yellow walked leisurely, asked for directions several times, and went straight to the door of Li's house. After knocking on the door, the person who opened the door was an old housekeeper.
The young man in yellow asked if Li Er was in the mansion. The old housekeeper said: "The general is still in the camp and has not returned. Guests may wish to enter the mansion and wait for a while!"
The young man in yellow thanked him, entered the Li Mansion, and was led into a side hall. The old housekeeper served tea and left, so the young man in yellow had to sit silently in the side hall and wait.
After a while, I suddenly heard the sound of "dong dong dong" footsteps, and a teenage boy ran into the side hall.
The child was not afraid of strangers at all. He stared at the young man in yellow for a while and asked, "Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before?"
The young man in yellow smiled and said: "I know who you are."
The child winked mischievously and said with a smile: "How about we make a bet?"
The young man in yellow asked: "How to bet?"
"If you can guess my name, I will give you this clay doll to play with. If you can't guess...hehe, give me your gauntlet!"
The young man in yellow smiled and said: "You will definitely lose!"
The child shaved his face and said: "You are the loser. Guess, guess! Your gauntlet can be used as a shield for me!"
The young man in yellow smiled and said: "Then listen carefully! Your name is Han Lin'er, right?"
Han Lin'er was taken aback. She stared at the young man in yellow and was about to ask him how he knew. Suddenly he smiled slyly and said, "That's wrong! My name is Hou Lin'er. If you don't believe me, you can ask others!"
The young man in yellow said calmly: "It was your mother who helped you change your name to Hou Lin'er, right?"
Han Lin'er opened her mouth in shock and shouted: "How come you know everything! Do you know my mother?"
The young man in yellow was about to answer when he suddenly heard the sound of a bell outside the door, followed by a weak voice: "Brother Lin'er, are you in there?"
Han Lin'er hurriedly said to the young man in yellow: "Don't say you've seen me!" She quickly got under the table.
