. walked into the restaurant, and was led up to the second floor by the waiter. He sat down next to the window sill along the street. Zhen Yao let ) choose to sit here, firstly because he could see the surrounding situation clearly, and secondly, to let those who followed him The Chang'an soldiers outside the restaurant felt at ease, lest they lose sight of people outside and ruin their own fun by going into the restaurant.
Zhen Yao¡¯s choice was indeed wise. The leader of the army sent by Dong Min to follow Zhen Yao saw his target sitting by the window, and casually sat down at the stall opposite. The leader was not confused. He knew that the target he was following was the Lord of Jizhou. If he didn't get too close to him, he would definitely not go upstairs.
Although it is a restaurant that imitates the business model of Tiantianju, the hardware, equipment, food, and wine are all on a higher level than those in Wuji. However, Zhen Yao was still eating with gusto while sitting by the window sill, chatting and laughing from time to time, looking very comfortable, and it was obvious that he would not leave for a while.
Because when Zhen Yao came to the restaurant, he was accompanied by more than ten personal guards. These personal guards stood motionless on the second floor while Zhen Yao was enjoying a meal with Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun. This made many diners who were about to come up feel timid. Even the guests who were originally staying on the second floor finished their food one by one and then went downstairs to leave.
Because of this, it didn¡¯t take long for the entire second floor to be occupied by Zhen Yao alone. After he and Zhang Fei had almost cleared the food on the table, a charming and beautiful lady walked up from the stairs, holding tea after the dinner in her hands.
"These generals are very cool, I'm afraid they are not from Chang'an." Meijiao Niang put down the tea and asked the servant who was following her to clean up the dishes and everything. She said with a smile: "The slave family added this building. Shopkeeper, these teas are provided for free as a gift to our distinguished guests, please!"
The appearance of the beautiful girl immediately attracted the attention of the soldiers outside the restaurant. One of them pointed to the window sill on the second floor and said to the leader: "Brother, look, that's the little girl from the restaurant owner's family!"
The younger brother can see it, and the leader¡¯s eyesight is not bad, so why can¡¯t he see it? At that moment, he glared at the pawns on the side angrily, and said rather jealously: "He eats and drinks well in there, and there are women to serve him. Damn it, our brothers are going to be blown by the cold wind here!"
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: After pouring tea for Zhen Yao and the others, the proprietress of the restaurant directly pulled down the curtains on the window sill after pouring tea for Zhen Yao and the others. Then he leaned forward and said: "The slave spirit sparrow has met the master!"
Needless to say, this woman is one of the girls trained by Guo Jia, and she is one of the first batch of girls, codenamed 'Lingque'. The reason why Zhen Yao came here was to contact the hidden people in the city, otherwise he might as well go back and sleep comfortably.
"It's okay, let's get up." Zhen Yao smiled and nodded in agreement: "How are you getting used to living in Chang'an?"
After saying hello, 'Lingque' knelt down beside Zhen Yao. Hearing the Lord's question, he quickly replied: "I was a little uncomfortable when I first came here, but I'm much better now. It's really a blessing for me to be able to share my Lord's worries."
After the curtains fell, it was a little difficult for people outside to observe. Fortunately, the curtains were also translucent. Although they were not as clear as before, they could still tell that Zhen Yao was still sitting and did not move, while the young lady was already leaning against him. Went up.
Thinking that the little girl he could only see occasionally when he usually came to this restaurant was clinging to Zhen Yao's side at this moment, the leader outside the building spat loudly and cursed secretly, but he didn't care. It's about the curtains.
Zhen Yao took the tea handed over by Ling Que, took a sip, and asked in a low voice: "Tell me, what happened with the 'blood edict' in Chang'an City."
¡®Lingque¡¯ did not dare to neglect, and immediately told everything she knew, and all this started when they, the ¡®women¡¯, left Wuji. When the first batch of Nvjian left, Chang'an, as the capital of the Emperor, was naturally the top priority for Zhen Yao's investigation, so although there were not many people, three of the best Nvjian were sent here.
After some changes, 'Lingque' married a businessman with some assets in the city, and encouraged him to open a restaurant similar to 'Tianranju'; 'Jinque' was lucky, and when she was walking on the street, she met Fu De, the eldest son of Fu, met by chance and successfully climbed into the noble branch of the Fu family, becoming Fu Wan's eldest daughter-in-law.
But the remaining "Yanque" devoted herself to the largest hook in Chang'an, playing the piano and dancing every day. For several years, she had many guests. To put it simply, she was the "scholars", "people", and "people" in Chang'an. In all three aspects, prostitutes and prostitutes were successfully infiltrated by Wuji Nvjian.
As for the blood edict, Jinque was the first to get the news among the three women. She was Fu Wan's daughter-in-law and the sister-in-law of the Han Empress Fu Shou. She just blew the wind in Fu De's ear and asked about the matter. Seven, seven, eight, eight.
The blood edict is Dong Cheng, the father of "Dong Guiren", who together with Emperor XianThey came up with an adventurous way to escape Chang'an. The 'blood edict' had just been finalized and before it was sent out of Chang'an City, it was known to the eunuchs arranged by Dong Min in the imperial city.
Although he saved the blood edict and risked his life to send it out of Chang'an, Dong Min's anger was not easily extinguished. Dong Cheng himself was the first to bear the brunt. As early as Zhen Yao received the blood edict, he was beheaded by Dong Min.
And Dong Guiren and other members of the Dong family, as well as the officials who were attached to the Dong family, were also unlucky one by one. Some were imprisoned, some were killed with poison, and this fire almost burned the Fu family.
Zhen Yao knew about Dong Cheng¡¯s death, but the details of what happened were obviously unclear. Now that he heard the ¡®Ling Que¡¯ tell the story in detail, he felt confident. At least Dong Min wasn¡¯t going crazy yet.
"Jinque passed the news to you, and you then spread the news through a secret whistle?" Zhen Yao muttered silently, and said with appreciation: "This is a good job, and Yao will reward you for his merits. When this matter is over, if you If you wish to meet again, I will take the whole family back."
Hearing this, Ling Que smiled and shook his head. He had taken root in Chang'an for so long, and now he was not so worried about returning to Wuji. He filled Zhen Yao's empty cup with tea, and then said: "My mother at home has someone to raise her, so Lingque can rest assured."
Zhen Yao nodded when he heard the words: "If possible, let the 'Golden Bird' do something and tell him that I, Zhen Yao, want to go to Fu's house and visit the head of state Fu Wan."
"'Lingque' knows." Meijiao Niang solemnly agreed, and asked: "My lord, do you want Lingque to pick up the two sisters?"
Zhen Yao wanted to see the other two girls again, but at this critical moment, any unnecessary actions would bring trouble to him, or even expose the three girls. After thinking about it, he immediately shook his head: "It doesn't have to be like this. If Yao wants to see him, he can do it himself." Will go find them."
After talking about this, Zhen Yao sat in the restaurant for a while and then left with a group of soldiers. This conversation did not attract anyone's attention at all. After Zhen Yao walked out of the restaurant, he lost interest in wandering and walked back along the original road.
Back at the house, Zhen Yao commanded: "Zilong, tomorrow I will send a greeting card to the Fu Mansion in Yao's name."
"My lord wants to go, just go directly, why go to such trouble." Zhang Fei really looked down on people like this who were seen in the court and wrote ink. Although Fu Wan had a noble status, he didn't take him seriously at all.
Zhen Yao couldn't help but shake his head and smile: "After all, the purpose of entering the city this time is to rescue the emperor. But judging from the current situation, it is very difficult to even meet the emperor. Going to see Fu Wan is the only feasible opportunity. .¡±
Because he was worried that Fu Wan would be afraid of Dong Min and not see him at this time, Zhen Yao gave the previous instructions to the female sparrow. And there is Jinque talking inside the Fu family, and the other party should accept the invitation tomorrow.
At this moment, in the Dong Mansion, Dong Min listened to his subordinates detailing Zhen Yao's itinerary. Hearing that he just strolled around the street and then had a meal in a restaurant, Dong Min didn't take it seriously and followed Jia Yao's instructions. Xu's strategy began to make the next step.
That night, Zhen Yao was already sleeping peacefully in the mansion, but Cao Cao came to the cave mansion under the protection of his two confidants. When Dong Min saw Cao Cao, he didn't test too much and said straightforwardly: "Cao Mengde, you want to win the emperor, and I want to protect Chang'an. In this way, there is no conflict between you and me. Do you think so?"
A flash of light flashed across Cao Cao's eyes, and then he said in a deep voice: "You are the younger brother of Thief Dong, and you are also the sinner who intimidated the emperor. Since I conquered the Yellow Turbans, I, Cao Cao, have contributed to the bloodshed of the Han Dynasty, and I am the minister of the humerus. What do you think of me? Do people have any conflicts?¡±
Hearing what Cao Cao said, Dong Min shook his head with disdain: "You want the emperor, and you still talk about the humerus of the great man? I invite you here today, not to talk about these useless things, I just ask you, do you want the emperor to follow you? Out of town?"
Cao Cao was silent for a long time before he said, "If there is anything else you want to say, please tell me!"
"Huh," although he was very dissatisfied with Cao Cao's attitude, Dong Min could only go on like this: "If you want to take the emperor back to Changyi, your biggest opponent is not Chang'an, but Zhen Yao. Now Zhen Yao is here Inside the city, as long as you join forces with me to kill him inside the city and wipe out his soldiers outside the city. In this way, great things can be accomplished."
After Dong Min finished speaking, the expression on Cao Cao's face changed, and he was also thinking carefully about whether what the other party said was credible, and even if it was credible, how sure he was of achieving his goal.
"Don't keep me waiting too long." Seeing that Cao Cao had not yet made up his mind, Dong Min emphasized again: "You know, if Zhen Yao dies, the north and the Central Plains will be in chaos. With the help of the emperor, you, Cao Mengde, will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. I, Dong Min, only want stability in Chang'an, and in addition, I only need Tongguan."
As a lifelong tycoon, Cao Cao naturally has his own decisions, but it is not his fault to be led around like this.With such a strong personality, he immediately made his request: "Please let me meet the emperor, otherwise there is no chance of me agreeing to this matter!"
¡°That¡¯s it, I¡¯ll take you into the palace tonight!¡± Dong Min was also afraid that something might happen if time went on, so he nodded immediately.
Cao Cao was overjoyed to see the Emperor, and he believed Dong Min's words even more. And after this group of people left through the back door of the mansion and headed towards the palace, a charming figure flashed past and disappeared into the night just as quickly.
"Sir, the second grandpa has already done what he said." Dong Bai's mansion was still the same side room. She had just come out of the Taishi's mansion. After rushing back, she said: "In this way, you can really save me Dong Bai." Family?"
Jia Xu lay on his side on the bed, and whispered without looking back: "People plan things, and God makes things happen! I have said everything I need to say, please come back."
Dong Bai had no choice but to lean out and exit the room. After she left, Jia Xu raised his head and looked at the stars in the sky through the window. He didn't understand astrology. Looking at the sky at this moment, just as he said before, everything was destined to be determined by heaven.
The next day it was bright and clear, and Zhao Yun followed Zhen Yao's instructions and went out with a greeting note he had just written last night. Fu Wannai is one of the few people with prominent official positions in Chang'an City, and his residence is also easy to find.
When he arrived at Fu Mansion, Zhao Yun handed over the greeting card with both hands, and waited outside the mansion for nearly half a stick of incense before the doorman came out: "Master said, I will be at home waiting for the arrival of Jizhou Mu at any time."
Zhao Yun politely thanked him and turned to leave. He hurried back to the house and told the results of his trip. After hearing this, Zhen Yao raised his lips slightly and said, "In this case, after lunch, come with me to prepare some gifts and go to meet the general who assists my country."
It is said that I brought a gift, but in fact I just bought some ordinary silk scrolls on the street. It might be good for ordinary people to give them as gifts, but the person who gave the gift was the Lord of Jizhou, and the person who received the gift was the abbot of the Han Dynasty. These things are very 'shabby'.
But no one cared about these trivial matters at this moment. After Zhen Yao walked into Fu Mansion with Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei, he was invited into the study by Fu Wan's eldest son Fu De. In the study, old man Fu Wan has been waiting for a long time.
This is the second time Fu Wan and Zhen Yao have met. The first time they met was at the Yuan family after the princes invaded Luoyang during the campaign against Dong. But at that time, the two of them had never said a word. After Fu Wan learned that the emperor had arrived in Chang'an, he followed him.
Seeing someone coming in, the old man pretended to put down the bamboo scroll in his hand, raised his head and asked, "What do you do for the state pastor here?"
Zhen Yao knelt down behind the desk and asked instead: "Yao came with a bloody edict, what do the old generals think?"
"Blood edict," these two words are extremely sensitive to Fu Wan, because even after Dong Cheng's plot came to light, the edict was still sent out of the city, and he also played a big role in it. His arms trembled slightly, Fu Wan sneered: "Maybe I don't know about the other things, but how can I not know about the 'Blood Edict'!" What Zhou Mu said was probably forged by him, right? "
"Whether it's a forgery or a real one, it doesn't matter." Zhen Yao knew that Fu Wan had seen the blood edict when he talked with Lingque the day before. Therefore, he was not surprised at all, and said: "What is important is the emperor's safety, and old general, your safety!"
"Zhou Mu is really arrogant. When you enter Chang'an and you don't know your own safety, you still have the heart to take care of me?" Fu Wan smiled and said, "What's more, what's wrong with Yu Wan in Chang'an City?"
After hearing this, Zhen Yao shook his head repeatedly: "Old General, he seems to be the father of the Queen, and his status is beyond words. But is this life really going well? As soon as Dong Min takes charge of Chang'an, the Old General will have to worry about himself. He will not only worry about himself, but also worry about himself. I am also worried about the emperor and the queen."
"Then what's the difference between you and Dong Min?" Fu Wan had lived to this age, so naturally he would not be intimidated by Zhen Yao. He kept a sneer on his face and said sarcastically: "Maybe you are a loyal minister? Will you sincerely welcome the Emperor?"
Zhen Yao frowned slightly: "Now that wars are raging, even if the emperor takes power, it will be useless. But Yao can at least guarantee that the emperor will live a more stable life than now, and the old general can rest assured. Isn't this enough?"
If Zhen Yao had said that he would obey the emperor's order, Fu Wan would not necessarily pay attention to him, but Zhen Yao just compared what he could do with what Dong Min did, and the difference was obvious, which made Fu Wan Can't help but hesitate.
This hesitation lasted for a stick of incense, and Zhen Yao just sat down with him. When Fu Wan raised his head again, he looked at Zhen Yao with a hint of hope in his eyes: "I dare to ask Zhou Mu, even if I want to help the emperor leave this place, what can I do?"
An undetectable smile flashed across the corner of his eyes, Zhen Yao nodded and said: "As long as the old general can allow Yao to meet the emperor, the rest of the matter will be left to Yao to handle."
What happened nextIt was settled, and Zhen Yao couldn't stay in Fu Wan Mansion for too long. When the two reached a consensus, Zhen Yao stood up and left. He also agreed to find a way to allow Zhen Yao to meet the emperor.
The fact that Zhen Yao went to Fuwan Mansion could not be hidden from Dong Min, but by this time Dong Min had already negotiated with Cao Cao, and Cao Cao's men had already left the city with orders. Thinking that Zhen Yao had only a few days to live, he sneered and revealed the news.
Chunfeng Pavilion is the most outstanding hook in Chang'an City, and the door of Yanque, the "number one" place for laughter, was almost knocked down by many guests.
Tonight is no exception, Yanque is sitting at the desk playing the piano, and beside the desk, a tall and thick man is looking at her with colored eyes, stroking his palms and applauding. From time to time, he would take a sip of wine and then take a bite of meat. Only this big man could do such a derogatory thing.
The strong man is one of the few generals in Chang'an City. After the deaths of Yang Feng, Hua Xiong and others, Dong Zhuo promoted one of the vacant generals from his Xiliang soldiers. After so many years, Zhuang Han has become the only general with real power among the forces in Chang'an, except Dong Min himself and Niu Fu.
The generals on horseback belong to the Chang'an forces, so strolling around Goulan has naturally become their favorite thing. This is a tradition inherited from Li Jue, Guo Si and others.
As one of the most powerful people in Chang'an, it is natural to look for the top one when visiting Goulan. Since Yanque came to Chang'an a few years ago and joined the laughter scene, this guy has become a frequent visitor here.
After a wine burp, the strong man stood up with the wine bottle in one hand and the desk with the other hand. He staggered towards the beauty in front of him and said, "After listening to so many songs, I still think you are the best." Play the best!"
With a faint smile on her face, Yanque stopped her fingers, stood up and said, "General Zhang is overly praised."
"No, no, no, no more praise." General Zhang walked towards Yanque with a domineering step, and stretched out his free left hand to grab the beauty: "Well, er, Yanque, come, I will accompany you today." You dance!"
Yanque is indeed a girl who has been trained by Diao Chan and Guo Jia. Faced with such a "strong man", she can still respond with a smile: "What happened today?" General Zhang is actually interested in dancing with the slave family? "
"Hehe, I am indeed happy today!" General Zhang's face was full of contentment. He leaned his plump face against Yanque's delicate earlobe and said with a breath of wine: "You don't know, Jizhou Zhenyao is in the city now. The master has spoken and will take his life tomorrow night. As long as Zhen Yao dies, Chang'an will be free from worries, and I, the general, can live happily again, hahahaha~~"
Hearing this, Yan Que trembled, and the fake smile on her face became forced.
