Although the wedding of the newly appointed governor of Yizhou and the eldest princess of the Han Dynasty was grand, after the wedding, the things that should be done still have to be done and the days have to go on. On the third day after the wedding in Luoyang, everyone came to attend
The generals of Luoyang's wedding are also preparing to leave and return to their bases, and the envoys sent by various princes are also preparing to leave. After all, this is Luoyang's territory, the wedding is over, and there are not that many of them.
It's a good excuse to stay.
People like Lu Fan would rather leave as soon as possible. He has searched Chengdu many times in the past few days, but he has not found any evidence to prove that Luo Yang is related to the robbery of the wedding party, so he can only give up.
.But Feng Ji, the envoy sent by Yuan Shao, is becoming more and more anxious. He has not made any progress in the tasks that Yuan Shao has given him, let alone poaching. Feng Ji has not even met Dian Wei formally yet.
If we just go back like this, I won't even know how to explain to Yuan Shao.
"Sir!" Feng Ji was walking back and forth in his room, feeling troubled in his heart. At this time, a follower came in from the outside, respectfully clasped his fists at Feng Ji and said, "There is a man outside who wants something.
We have to meet the adults!"
"Who? Who?" Feng Ji frowned, and a look of vigilance immediately appeared on his face. Although Feng Ji was anxious now, it did not mean that he would lose his vigilance. No matter what,
After all, he is not within the sphere of influence of his lord now. The relationship between Luo Yang and Yuan Shao is still very delicate. No one can say whether Luo Yang will fall out with Yuan Shao!
The attendant didn't even dare to raise his head and immediately replied: "Replying to your lord, that man claimed to be under the orders of Duke Cao and wanted to see you for something!"
"Mr. Cao?" Feng Ji raised his eyebrows and immediately understood. Needless to say, it must be the person sent by Liu Ye, Cao Cao's envoy! When he said to the entourage: "Why don't you hurry up and invite me?"
Come in!"
After listening to Feng Ji's order, the attendant immediately went down to follow the order, but Feng Ji felt nervous. Seeing that everyone was about to leave Chengdu, why did Liu Ye suddenly send someone to find him? The previous wedding banquet in Luoyang
On behalf of Yuan Shao, Feng Ji expressed to Liu Ye that Yuan Shao was willing to form an alliance with Cao Cao. However, all this could not be officially confirmed until he reported back to his lord Yuan Shao! Did Liu Ye even have this time?
Can’t wait any longer? If people from Luo Yang notice this, something will be wrong!
While Feng Ji was thinking about this, the entourage that had just retreated had already walked in with a man whose whole body was covered by a black robe. When the entourage saw Feng Ji, he bowed and bowed, and the man in black robe
But he bent down slightly, but there was no movement. Feng Ji understood what the man in black robe meant, so he waved his hand and said to the follower: "You, retreat first!"
The entourage naturally followed Feng Ji's order. After he retreated, only Feng Ji and the man in black robe were left in the room. Feng Ji turned to look at the man in black robe and said in a deep voice: "Okay.
! Stop pretending! Tell me, Mr. Liu sent you to see me at this time, what is the important matter? "
However, the man in black robe did not remove the hood on his head because of this. It was just dark at this moment, and the oil lamps in the room were not lit yet. He could only see the figure of the man in black robe clearly through the weak light from the window.
But I couldn't see the appearance of this person. I heard the man in black robe smile arrogantly and say in a hoarse voice: "Don't be angry when you meet me. My lord does have something important to discuss with you, but this is Chengdu after all. No matter what."
It’s not very safe either at my master’s place or at Mr. Feng’s place! So my master wants to make an appointment with Mr. Feng at the Huibin Inn in the south of the city an hour later!”
Hearing what the man in black robe said, Feng Ji understood that there was some truth in this statement, but he was still a little unhappy after all. He frowned and snorted: "What on earth is going on in your family? Why do you need to be so sneaky?"
of?"
"Well!" The tone of the man in black did not change due to Fengji's questioning. He still smiled conspiratorially: "Young one is just a little person who is responsible for spreading the news. How can he know so much? It's just my family.
Your Majesty asked me to tell Mr. Feng a few words. This matter is related to Youzhou, so I hope Mr. Feng can take the trouble to go there!"
"Youzhou?" Feng Ji's heart suddenly jumped, and he thought of the strange smiling face of Gongsun Zan's envoy Jian Yong that he saw a few days ago. Could it be that Gongsun Zan had some actions to harm Jizhou? When he thought of this
At this point, Feng Ji couldn't sit still, so he nodded and said, "Okay! If that's the case, then I'll go and tell you adults that I will definitely go to the appointment on time!"
"Thank you, sir! I will definitely tell my lords that I will be waiting for you at the Huibin Inn! In this case, I have resigned!" The man in black robe had a strange and sinister tone from beginning to end.
Feng Ji felt uncomfortable all over. He really didn't understand where Cao Cao found such subordinates. However, the man in black robe didn't care about Feng Ji's strange expression at all. Instead, he bowed and turned around.
He left quietly.
Although the behavior of the man in black robe was a bit strange, Feng Ji decided to go to the Hui Guesthouse in person after an hour to take a look. Although Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have not yet reached a formal alliance, the relationship between the two parties is still good.
, Liu Ye has no reason to harm himself. Seeing that the task assigned by Yuan Shao cannot be completed, if he can find out an important piece of information and bring it back, he will be able to make up for it!
With this idea in mind, half an hour later, Fengji took two followers and quietly slipped out of the post house where he was staying. As for the Huibin Inn, Fengji was not just spying on Dian during this period.
When Wei went there, he also had people investigate a lot about the layout of Chengdu. Naturally, he knew the location of the Huibin Inn. However, in order to hide his identity from others, Fengji went to the alleys with fewer people, which also caused a lot of delays in the process.
In a short time, by the time he arrived at the door of the Hui Guest House in the south of the city, it was another half an hour, just in time to catch up with the agreed time.
Feng Ji looked around and saw that the night was getting darker now, and there were fewer and fewer people on the street. After making sure that no one noticed him, Feng Ji turned around and whispered an order, asking his two followers to guard him.
Here, I walked directly into the inn door.
It was already past dinner time. There were only a few scattered tables of diners in the lobby of the inn, and the innkeeper was already doing abacus on the counter, calculating the day's income. I saw
When Feng Ji came in, the shopkeeper didn't expect that there would be customers coming at this hour. He couldn't help but be stunned. However, as a businessman, he came to his senses immediately and hurriedly came over to greet him in person: "This
Sir! Please come inside! Please come inside! Are you going to eat or stay at the hotel? If you want to eat, we also have fine wine and the mutton that was just slaughtered tonight! If you want to stay at the hotel, we have a lot more.
The guest room is clean, and the guest custodian is satisfied!" The shopkeeper was very flexible in his words, and he talked a lot at once, and he had the ability to make the dead come alive.
It's a pity that Feng Ji's mind is neither eating nor staying in the hotel. He frowned and glanced in the hall, but he didn't see Liu Ye or any suspicious figure. After thinking about it, he thought about the shopkeeper.
Said: "I'm here to find someone! Did someone just book a guest room here?"
Seeing that Feng Ji was not here to eat or stay in the hotel, the shopkeeper couldn't help but feel a little colder, but the smile on his face did not diminish at all. Those who work in this industry still have basic eyesight, and Feng Ji
Everything Ji wore was of good quality. The shopkeeper immediately knew that the person in front of him was either rich or noble! Such a person was not something that a small merchant like him could afford to offend. After thinking about it for a moment,
After thinking for a moment, he immediately replied with a smile: "Yes! Yes! It's room A-3 above! The guest officer only needs to go upstairs and turn left and take the third room!"
"Hmm!" Hearing the shopkeeper's explanation, it goes without saying that Liu Ye must be in the room! I was still a little dissatisfied with Liu Ye choosing to meet in such a public place, but now that Liu Ye has made arrangements, he will not hesitate to do so.
He said nothing more, nodded, and went directly upstairs. However, Feng Ji was in a hurry to go upstairs to find Liu Ye, but he didn't notice that after he turned around, the shopkeeper was looking at him with a strange expression.
My own back.
"Shopkeeper! What's wrong? But there's business?" At this time, the waiter also finished what he was doing and ran over. Seeing the shopkeeper in a daze, he quickly asked curiously.
"Go! Go and do what you have to do! Didn't you see that the customer at the table was about to pay? Go quickly!" The shopkeeper came to his senses, spat at the waiter, and sent the waiter away. He drove the waiter away.
After that, the shopkeeper involuntarily turned his head and looked at the back of Feng Ji who had just gone upstairs, but shook his head and said with a smile: "Tsk, tsk! The interests of these gentlemen are really extraordinary! Forget it! We, the ordinary people, are
Just look at it, how can you have the right to do more about those big masters!" After saying that, the shopkeeper turned back to the counter with a weird smile on his face and continued to settle his accounts!
Feng Ji, who was hurriedly going upstairs, naturally didn't know what was happening behind him. At this moment, he was in a hurry to find Liu Ye and ask him what happened in Youzhou. Now Feng Ji only hopes that Liu Ye will do what he wants.
The things you talk about must not be trivial! Otherwise, Feng Ji’s chance to make amends will be gone, and he will have no choice but to resist all the blame and let Yuan Shao be punished!
