Royal road

"Youzhou King Peng Zu sent an envoy to ask me to have a secret talk." Liang Feng handed the letter to Duan Qin.

This letter came unexpectedly.Just after the first emperor was buried, there was a situation where the two emperors stood side by side.Now the DPRK and China are in chaos.Liang Feng didn't do anything. With his current status, he could completely stay out of the matter.No one expects a little prefect to make any move to stand in line.

However, he didn't move, but someone came to the door, and it was a big official like the governor of Youzhou, which was surprising.

You know, in the previous two battles, Wang Jun has been on the side of East China Sea King Sima Yue.It was because he had a grudge against the King of Chengdu, and the King of Chengdu dispatched and staged an assassination, which almost killed him.The two people who are in such a situation of water and fire will never collude because of a single emperor.So why did Wang Jun seek him out?

Duan Qin quickly read the letter and shook his head slightly: "It seems that Youzhou is about to change."

The coexistence of the two emperors brought not only political changes, but also psychological changes.Coupled with the "sun like red blood" weather change, it cast a shadow over Luoyang's enthronement ceremony.

Under such a chaotic situation, those capable people gradually became unable to sit still.

Wang Jun is not a kind person.Just by looking at his marriage with Xianbei, you can know his ambition.And the repeated attacks and plunders only increased the appetite of this jackal.Would it be a good thing for such a person to have a secret talk with the lord?

Liang Feng's face was solemn: "He is also the Wang family of Taiyuan."

Even if he does not live in Youzhou, after all, Wang Jun comes from the branch of the Wang family in Taiyuan.But now that Liang Feng was about to marry the Wang family, it was really hard to refuse such an invitation.

"Wang Dudu was born as the heir of a concubine, and he lived alone in Youzhou for decades, so he might not have a close relationship with Taiyuan." Duan Qin said.

"However, there are no outstanding figures in Taiyuan's Wang family now. If Wang Pengzu wants to interfere, do you think Taiyuan will refuse?" Liang Feng asked back.

This is the complexity of the wealthy family.No one knows which branch will prosper and which branch will decline after a few generations, but everyone comes from the same family and bears the same surname, and they must look after each other after all.

This kind of intertwined relationship is the most complicated.To see or not to see, that is the question.

After a while, Liang Feng shook his head: "Forget it, since I have an appointment, let's meet up!"

"My lord!" Duan Qin became a little nervous, "If the other party has ulterior motives, wouldn't it be too bad?"

"Even if we can't agree, it won't be a serious problem." Liang Feng was not too nervous, "Now I don't have any direct conflict of interest with Youzhou, if I don't want to lose a potential ally, the other party won't turn against me rashly. It would be inappropriate to refuse to see."

The letter from Youzhou this time is indeed sincere.Not only did Wang Jun's son, Wang Xuan, personally write the letter, but he also called the name, and they can meet at the Leping Congress.There are not two territories, but it is close to Shangdang and far away from Youzhou, so it is more dangerous for Wang Jun's side.And the one I want to marry is Wang Wen's niece, that is to say, he and Wang Wen are actually of the same seniority.

In the case of the opponent's status being slightly higher, it can still be like this, which is already giving enough face.It is unreasonable to directly refuse.

How could Duan Qin not know this?After pondering for a moment, he said: "I will go with the lord!"

"No need." Liang Feng waved his hand, "Now that we have just added a county, there are still many things to deal with. It's just a meeting, so why be so nervous. Just bring a few hundred guards with you."

"Then Captain Yi will definitely accompany you!" Duan Qin said hastily, worried about letting Liang Feng attend the appointment.

"Naturally." Liang Feng did not refuse this time.

Anyway, Yiyan also came back from Leping, so he happened to lead his personal guards to go with him.But the meeting is still secondary, and the position of Shangdang is the key.There are more and more ambitious people, which proves that Sima's control over the court is getting weaker and weaker.However, Shangdang's current power is too weak, and the prefect of Bingzhou alone can make his development difficult.How to deal with it is really a problem.

Even the national funeral is not safe, and I don't know what will happen in the future!

"Girl, there is a letter from Youzhou..." When he got the letter, even Ah Xi couldn't believe it.That Mr. Zhang Lang, would he even reply?Doesn't he know the current situation?

However, after receiving a lot of benefits from others, and seeing that the girl is seriously ill, no matter how hot the letter is, it is hard not to refuse it.

The servant girl had all kinds of entanglements in her heart, but Wang Qiniang didn't hesitate, and immediately jumped up from the couch: "Bring it quickly!"

A thin piece of paper was snatched in her hand, Wang Qiniang looked at it eagerly.After a while, the sadness on her face disappeared, and she giggled: "Zhang Lang really knows how to think!"

Ah Xi was taken aback: "Girl, even if you can't get married during the national funeral, a new wedding date has been set! In June, Shangdang will come to welcome the bride..."

"Huh~" Wang Qiniang snorted coquettishly, "Zhang Lang is talented, he said that if there is a way, there must be a way! I am not afraid! And Zhang Lang is not white now, he is an official from his uncle. Can't say You will also be a general in the future, come and marry me."

The girl said she was proud, but Ah Xi secretly groaned in her heart.What official?Working under a concubine of a royal family, how could he compare to a well-known prefect?It was all because of my obsession with ghosts back then, which gave the surname Zhang the opportunity to seduce the girl's soul.

Seeing the look on the maidservant's face, Wang Qiniang's pretty face suddenly turned serious: "Ah Xi, this matter must not be known to others. If anyone finds out, I will order the stick to kill you!"

Hearing this, Ah Xi was so frightened that her knees gave way, and she knelt down on the ground: "Your servant is a girl, how dare you speak nonsense?"

That's right, she has already boarded this thief ship.If the Patriarch knew, she would always be the first to die, not anyone else.How could she talk nonsense outside?

Seeing that the maid was so obedient, Wang Qiniang breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you know. Hurry up and get the medicine, I want to recuperate well!"

Some time ago, she was angry and worried, but she really had a serious illness.Now that there is hope, it is natural to take good care of it.When Zhang Lang comes to marry, he can marry a charming lady.

Seeing the girl's carefree expression, Ah Xi gritted his teeth.Well, that's the end of the matter, there's no point in worrying anymore.Let's see how Mr. Zhang can handle this matter.And to be honest, Zhang Lang looks really handsome, if he married a girl, maybe he would take her into the house.

No longer thinking about those headaches, Ah Xi obediently got up and went to get the medicine.

Both sides used fast horses to convey the news, and the meeting between Liang Feng and Wang Xuan was settled before the national funeral was over.The location is arranged near Shangai, not a densely populated place, even if hundreds of people meet here, it will not attract the attention of others.

Because it was a secret meeting, Liang Feng did not bring the convoy along, but asked Yiyan to lead two hundred cavalry to accompany him.Regarding this arrangement, Yiyan didn't quite agree with it: "My lord, although the banditry in Leping has subsided, it's not safe to travel with only such a small number of people. What's more, the horses and horses are exhausted. You have just recovered. If you get sick again, what will you do?" Is good?"

"It's just riding a horse for two or three days, how can you get sick. It's more uncomfortable to ride a car." Liang Feng grinned.Now his exercise programs have increased a lot, and his horse riding is also smooth.It's far from the sickly look it used to be.However, the problem of motion sickness cannot be completely overcome.There are quite a lot of mountain roads on this road, it is really better to stay on horseback for a few days.

"But 200 people are really too few..." Yi Yan was still not reconciled.

Liang Feng waved his hand: "I'm here for a secret talk, not for a demonstration. Besides, the Youzhou cavalry are the toughest, so it's not very cost-effective to show their strength in front of them."

This time, he did not intend to cooperate with Wang Jun.It's not good to show your strength rashly and make the other party vigilant.Show weakness when you should show weakness, reject when you should refuse, and just play well.After Wang's daughter passed through the door, the other party would not be able to tear up their faces at will, so there was room for buffering.

Moreover, Liang Feng really wanted to know, what was Wang Jun's plan?Knowing the other party's plan will also help Shangdang's future development.

Knowing that the lord looks weak, but his character is extremely resolute.Yiyan couldn't persuade him anymore, so he had to arm the personal guard team to the teeth.Two horses are also specially equipped to carry daily items.Such a meeting, how could it be possible to bring a maid, so that the lord can live safely.

After everything was ready, the group quietly left Shangdang and headed towards Lepingguo.Marching in the daytime and sleeping in the open in the dark, they don't take the official road, but pick up remote paths and march.Under Yiyan's unwavering care, it took three full days to arrive at the scheduled location.

I saw that in the wilderness, tents had been set up.As the concubine son of the governor, Wang Xuan did not bring many troops this time, only three hundred Xianbei cavalry.Their expressions were also extremely relaxed. If they didn't know, they would have thought they were returning home to visit relatives.

Such an arrangement is indeed not hostile.Even Yiyan secretly heaved a sigh of relief.Liang Feng didn't care about this, he rode his horse to the front of the camp, just got off his horse when he saw a group of people coming out to meet him.

At the very front was a man in his thirties in military uniform.Seeing Liang Feng, he cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I never thought that Fu Jun's appearance is three points more than the rumors! My next king, Wenhuan, is ordered by my father to come and see me."

Liang Feng cupped his hands in return: "General Wang is very polite. I have heard of the prince's name for a long time, but now I see the general, it is rare."

Although Wang Xuan is the concubine son of Wang Jun, none of Wang Jun's previous three wives gave birth to an heir, and now Xu Xian has just given birth to a son who is not yet six years old.Therefore, these concubine sons who have grown up are all working under Wang Jun's account, among them Wang Yu is the most important, and now he has reached the rank of Captain Karasuma, and he is a fourth-rank official, one level higher than Liang Feng's official position .

The words were appropriate, Wang Xuan laughed loudly: "You and I are relatives by marriage, why should you be polite? I'm the fourth at home, just call my fourth brother."

After the gift is a kiss, how can people refuse?Facing the hands that his parents stretched out affectionately, Liang Feng smiled and walked into the camp hand in hand with Wang Xuan.

Behind the two of them, a pair of cold eyes flicked across Liang Feng's back, and they were ready to close, hidden in the laughter.
