Three hundred and fiftieth chapters each pregnant with ghosts
Speaking of Lu Fan, he originally didn't want to come to Chengdu this time. Apart from anything else, his lord Sun Jian had just seized most of Luo Yang's Jiangdong. Who knows if Luo Yang could hold back the fire in his heart? He came as Sun Jian's envoy.
Going to Chengdu, isn't this like sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth? However, Zhang Zhao, a descendant of the Zhang family in Wu County who had recently joined Sun Jian's tent, advised Sun Jian that Luo Yang was marrying a Han princess! Sun Jian is still a minister of the Han Dynasty.
, people should be sent to congratulate him, but in desperation, Lu Fan had no choice but to take on this dangerous mission.
Like the envoys sent by other princes, Lu Fan's mission in coming to Chengdu this time was of course not just to congratulate Luo Yang on his wedding. Previously, Sun Ce, the eldest son of Sun Jian, and Zhou Yu, son of Zhou Yi, married concubines on the same day.
They were the two daughters of Qiao Guolao, a famous scholar in Lujiang. Unexpectedly, after waiting for several days, they did not see the welcoming team come back! Those sent to welcome the bride were Sun Jian’s younger brother Sun Jing and Zhou Yu’s good friend Lu Su, who were also sent to welcome the bride.
The team disappeared together! Although Sun Ce searched around Lujiang for a month or two afterwards, he still couldn't find any clues! For this reason, Sun Jian began to wonder if he had been captured by people from other forces, and the first suspect was
, it was Luo Yang who had just fallen out with Sun Jian. So Lu Fan’s main mission in coming to Chengdu this time was to investigate the whereabouts of Sun Jing, Lu Su and the two brides to see if they had really fallen into the hands of Luo Yang!
When they first entered Luo Yang's sphere of influence, Lu Fan was really worried, but he didn't expect that Luo Yang didn't take action against them this time, but the attitude of the soldiers and horses who greeted them was not very good. Since there is no danger, Lu Fan
Fan Ziran is about to start carrying out his mission. In the past few days after arriving in Chengdu, Lu Fan has not found any clues, but today's Luo Yang wedding is the last chance. If no clues are found, Lu Fan will only
Returned in vain.
Lowering his head and taking a sip of wine, Lu Fan glanced at the drinking generals in the hall. He was able to rob the wedding party without anyone noticing within Sun Jian's sphere of influence. If it was really someone under Luo Yang who did it,
It must be related to the generals in this hall! However, there are so many powerful generals under Luo Yang that Lu Fan doesn't even know who to start with first.
"Lord Lu!"
A voice suddenly sounded, which startled Lu Fan. Fortunately, Lu Fan had a good heart, otherwise, he would have been so frightened that he dropped his wine glass. He turned his head and looked to the side, but he happened to see a middle-aged man.
The man was looking at him with a smile, holding a glass of wine in his hand. However, Lu Fan recognized this man. Like himself, he was the envoy sent by Gongsun Zan, who had just ascended to the position of governor of Youzhou. Lu Fan still remembered,
This person's name is Jian Yong! I just don't know why he suddenly walked in front of me?
Jian Yong held the wine glass with a smile, knelt down next to Lu Fan, raised the wine glass, made an invitation gesture to Lu Fan, and said with a smile: "Master Lu! Today is the host Luo
Why is Mr. Lu so silent on your happy day? Come on, come on! Come and have a drink! I offer my respects to you! Your Majesty, please!" With that said, Jian Yong drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
When Jian Yong came to propose a toast, Lu Fan certainly did not dare to lose his etiquette. He just picked up the wine glass and realized that there was no wine in the glass. He hurriedly filled up the wine, then he raised the wine glass and gave a toast to Jian Yong, and then
After drinking the wine. Seeing Lu Fan finish the wine, the smile on Jian Yong's face became even brighter. He smiled and said to Lu Fan: "Master Lu! To be honest, I really didn't expect that Sun Shijun would actually
They will also send envoys to attend Luo Shijun’s wedding ceremony!”
Just after swallowing the wine, Lu Fan almost choked when he heard what Jian Yong said. Of course Lu Fan understood the meaning of Jian Yong's words, wasn't he talking about Sun Jian's robbery of Luoyang Jiangdong before? However, even
Luo Yang didn't care about anything at this time, so why are your Gongsun Zan's envoys in Youzhou messing around? Lu Fan smiled awkwardly, glanced at Jian Yong, and said, "Lord Jian is joking! Luo Shijun is
The pillar of the country is getting married to the eldest princess. My lord is a Han official and is loyal to the country. How can we not send someone to attend this wedding?"
"Haha! That's right!" Jian Yong chuckled, with an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes. Even a three-year-old child may not be able to deceive this kind of excuse. Since Jian Yong can become Gongsun Zan's envoy, how can he be an envoy?
Fool? Lu Fan didn’t expect this lie to be believed by Jian Yong, but it was just a statement. However, Lu Fan believed that Jian Yong must have another agenda! Sure enough, Jian Yong continued: "Shijun Sun is dedicated to serving the country.
, everyone in the world knows it! Similarly, my lord also wants to contribute to the country! Youzhou is located in the far north. As the governor of Youzhou, my lord is not allowed to lead troops south without permission. There are many things that need to be relied on.
Shijun Sun!"
Jian Yong's words fell in Lu Fan's ears, but they made Lu Fan raise his brows subconsciously, as if he understood what Jian Yong meant. In the blink of an eye, Lu Fan's previous embarrassment disappeared without a trace.
He smiled and said to Jian Yong: "It should! It should! We are all Han ministers, so naturally we have to serve the court. This is our duty! Haha! Come! Master Jian! I will give you another drink!" After finishing speaking,
, Lu Fan filled their empty wine glasses with wine, raised his own wine glass with a smile, and bowed to Jian Yong.
Jian Yong also laughed, picked up the wine glass, and said with a smile: "Then, I hope we can work together to support the Han Dynasty!" After saying that, the two of them drank the wine at the same time, and then looked at each other and smiled.
The smiles of the two of them also startled Yuan Shao's envoy Feng Ji, who had been staring at Dian Wei before. When he turned around and saw Lu Fan and Jian Yong, Feng Ji frowned and felt in his heart.
It seemed that something was wrong. The purpose of Feng Ji's visit to Chengdu this time was to follow Yuan Shao's order to see if he could recruit some talents from Luo Yang. Naturally, the first person Feng Ji took a fancy to was Zai Hu.
Dian Wei, the black general who rose to prominence from behind bars!
If he wanted to bribe Dian Wei, Feng Ji naturally had to find out what Dian Wei's preferences were first. Since he came to Chengdu, he had sent many followers to monitor Dian Wei. But the result was that Feng Ji was very disappointed.
Dian Wei is no different from a boring gourd in his daily life. He just trains soldiers and martial arts every day, and even lives in the military camp. Even if he doesn't like money, he doesn't seem to be interested in power. He has never even seen a woman! This
Feng Ji even had some doubts, was this Dian Wei a woman wearing the appearance of a man?
To Fengji, Dianwei was like an egg with no seams, leaving Fengji with no way to start. He wanted to change someone, but it was too late. If he couldn't complete the task assigned by his lord, Fengji wouldn't do it.
Dare to imagine what kind of punishment he will face from his lord when he returns to Jizhou!
And this time at Luo Yang's wedding banquet, it was the last chance for Feng Ji, so from the beginning to the end, Feng Ji stared at Dian Wei, wanting to see what hobbies Dian Wei had that he could take advantage of!
Just now being disturbed by the inexplicable laughter of Jian Yong and Lu Fan next to him, Feng Ji glared at the two of them, turned his head again, and continued to look at Dian Wei. At this moment, sitting on the other side of Feng Ji
However, a man slowly approached Feng Ji and whispered: "Sir Feng, aren't you curious at all about what they are talking about?"
Feng Ji turned around and saw that the other person was the envoy Liu Ye sent by Cao Cao. This Liu Ye was a clan member of the Han Dynasty. It was just right for Cao Cao to send him for the wedding of the eldest princess.
Among all the princes in the world, I am afraid that even Cao Cao and Yuan Shao have the deepest friendship, so as their envoys, Feng Ji and Liu Ye have a good relationship. When Liu Ye talks, Feng Ji can't ignore it.
, only smiled at Liu Ye and said: "Master Liu, what do you mean by this?"
Liu Ye smiled faintly and said: "Sir, I heard that Gongsun Zan killed Liu Bo'an and sent troops to the border of Youzhou and Jizhou. Isn't Yuan Shijun not worried at all that Gongsun Zan will go south to invade the country?"
"Uh!" Hearing what Liu Ye said, Feng Ji couldn't help but be stunned. He subconsciously turned his head to look at Jian Yong, who was chatting and laughing with Lu Fan. After looking at it for a long time, he turned back and said with a smile: "
Hahahaha! Mr. Liu is joking! Mr. Gongsun was a member of the alliance against Dong back then, but my lord is the leader of the alliance. How could Mr. Gongsun have any ill intentions towards my lord? Even if Mr. Gongsun wants to go south, my lord
The elite soldiers and generals under the tent are not just for show!"
"Haha!" Liu Ye gently stroked his beard, smiled faintly, and said, "If that's true, that would be great! I once heard that Gongsun Zan had an army of white-horse rebels under his tent. They were extremely powerful and versatile.
Gongsun Zan is an experienced soldier, if Yuan Shijun cannot stop Gongsun Zan's army, then my lord will be the one who will suffer next!"
Feng Ji narrowed his eyes, and of course he understood what Liu Ye meant, but after thinking for a moment, he was not offended by Liu Ye's few words, but smiled and said: "Of course! As long as my lord is in Jizhou for a day
, Commander Cao can take over the fat piece of Qingzhou without any worries! However, Mr. Liu must remind Commander Cao when he returns, that there is a biting tiger in the south!"
Liu Ye did not continue speaking, but looked at Feng Ji with squinted eyes. Feng Ji did not speak, staring closely at Liu Ye's eyes. The two looked at each other for a long time, but suddenly laughed. Liu Ye picked up the
A carving knife placed on the dinner plate cut half of the mutton plate in front of Fengji and handed it to Fengji. He took the remaining half by himself and sat back in his seat. Fengji also
Without saying anything more, he continued to turn his head and stare at Dian Wei.
