Chapter 248: Audacious
Xianbei Royal Court
Dugu Zhong, He Lanyan, He Ximing and others couldn't believe what they heard? When did a small county magistrate dare to be so arrogant?
"Are you sure the person who made the announcement is really the county magistrate, and not the governor, governor, or imperial envoy of Dali?"
"It was indeed said by the new Houcheng County Magistrate."
"Tell me the news again!"
The young informant had no choice but to say one more thing, "Currently, the little prince is in the hands of Houcheng County Magistrate Lu Desheng. The other party wants to negotiate with our Xianbei. The time for the negotiation is set at noon the day after tomorrow. The other party also said that the Khan does not have to go in person. The Khan It’s also possible to appoint a negotiating team to negotiate.”
He Lanyan: "Bold! What kind of person is this Lu Desheng? He dares to clamor to negotiate with our Khan?"
He Ximing followed closely and said, "Khan, this man surnamed Lu has insulted you so much, let me lead my troops to destroy him!"
Old God Dugu Zhong said in the tunnel, "Before you kill them, they can kill the little prince Tuobalian first!"
Tuoba Khan: "Shut up!"
Tuoba Khan had accumulated great power, and when he gave the order, no one in the royal tent made a sound.
"If they want to negotiate, let's talk! If the negotiation doesn't go well, Ben Khan wouldn't mind leading an army to flatten his Liaodong County!" Tuoba Khan said calmly.
"The Khan is mighty!"
Tuoba Khan made his decision, and everyone in the Xianbei royal court accepted it.
"Then, Khan, who is responsible for this negotiation?"
Everyone in the royal court knew that the Khan could not go. He, Lu Desheng, was a small county magistrate and was not worthy of the Khan to talk to him in person!
"Xun'er, you go! You are responsible for the negotiation." Tuoba Khan named his eldest son Tuoba Xun. His eldest son has been coping very well recently, so I will leave this matter to him and let him see if it is true. Made progress.
Tuoba Xun: "Yes, my son takes the order!"
The second prince Tuoba was extremely jealous that his eldest brother was entrusted with such an important task.
Yu Chirui soon received the news that Wang Ting had agreed to negotiate.
This result is completely expected.
People are holding your lifeline and asking for negotiation. How dare you refuse to give it a try?
He didn't dare to delay and directly passed the news to the other side.
Speaking of which, the people on the other side were also arrogant, as if they were sure they would have to agree. The high platform was still getting wider and wider, as if they were sure it would come in handy.
Guess this feels terrible.
Lu Desheng didn't care whether he was in a good mood or not.
Houcheng was also busy preparing for the negotiations, and the whole city was notified. No, the three counties were notified together. The negotiations between Houcheng and the Xianbei Royal Court were publicized with great fanfare and everyone knew about it.
The people who were just running for their lives gradually stopped, listening and watching and talking about the negotiation curiously.
Before coming down from the observation tower, Lu Desheng directly called Qin Heng and Qin Zhao over and said to them, "There is some work that County Magistrate Chen needs people to do. Mr. Le has organized people and is ready to go. You can follow and learn. Help me.”
"yes!"
Le Guicai said nothing about Lu Desheng's use of every opportunity to support the Qin brothers. He already admired the Qin brothers. In addition, Lu Desheng is now leading the negotiations, so let him do whatever he wants.
Finally, Le Gui thought about it, gave each of the Qin brothers the position of deputy team leader, and let them set off.
Back at Wangping Realm, after Chen Ping explained what he was going to do, he directly gave the order, "Time is urgent. You will split into two groups in a moment. Let's try to get the job done quickly."
"yes!"
Liaodong County, County Sheriff's Office
When Zheng Xun heard that the new Houcheng County Magistrate Lu Desheng had taken Tuobalian hostage and advocated negotiations with the Xianbei Royal Court, and the Xianbei Royal Court had agreed to negotiate, he was stunned and then overjoyed.
Le Guicai knew that he had been tormenting him recently, but he didn't bother to care. He himself had a headache.
Originally, facing this crisis, he was really in a dilemma and was at a loss what to do. I thought he would be doomed this time and would lose his job.
But after Lu Desheng did this, Zheng Xun felt that maybe the shaky black gauze hat on his head could be saved?
Anyway, the situation will not be worse than now. If Lu Desheng succeeds, he, the governor of Liaodong County, will also have credit, and it will be a big credit.
If Lu Desheng messed up, he would just blame him for everything. Who would have exceeded his authority?
Zheng Xun's reaction was very strange, and his aunt Ding Xueru said worriedly, "Master, are you okay?"
Zheng Xun laughed, "There's nothing better than now."
This Lu Desheng is really a good person, it is really good to get more power by overstepping his authority!
Liaoxi County, Governor's Mansion
Bang! A cup hit the ground——
Then there was a roar, "How audacious! Has Lu Desheng taken the courage of a bear's heart and a leopard's heart? How dare he?"
"Prince, please calm down, don't make yourself angry."
Shi Tao just received a letter from Feiying from the imperial court, ordering him to go to Liaodong County as soon as possible and giving him full authority to handle the conflict between Liaodong County and Xianbei. Then he heard the news that Lu Desheng dared to bypass Zheng Xun and him, the governor, and take the initiative to negotiate with Xianbei privately!
"Come here, prepare your horses!" He is going to Liaodong County!
Even without the emperor's appointment and entrustment, he still had to go to Houcheng. Lu Desheng dared to ignore Zheng Xun and him, the governor, and rebel against him!
Shi Tao gave the order, and the entire governor's office began to get busy, making every effort to prepare for his trip.
At this time, the attendant Jiang Changyun brought up a bowl of porridge, "Sir, the scallop, abalone and ginseng porridge is ready. The temperature is just right. Drink it before setting off."
Shi Tao wanted to refuse, but when he heard that the temperature was suitable, he gave up the idea of refusing.
He was in poor health, and he had to drink a bowl of this scallop, abalone and ginseng porridge every day. He did not doubt it, took the bowl and drank it all.
As soon as he finished the porridge, Shi Tao rode on his horse and set off with his entourage.
Less than half an hour later, Shi Tao felt a stomachache. At this time, they had already left the city, and he found a place to relieve himself.
But not long after relieving himself, he had to relieve himself again.
The three urgent things in life came too violently.
In a short distance, he had stopped five times. In the end, he was sweating on his face and couldn't ride the horse.
"Sir, are you still going?"
Shi Tao gritted his teeth and said, "Go! Change it to a carriage for me!" At this time, he just thought he had a stomachache.
So the people in the governor's mansion requisitioned a carriage from a rich family nearby.
They had walked such a long distance, it was impossible to go back, it would be a waste of time.
Although the rich family's carriage was not as good as the one in the governor's mansion, they had to make do with it at this time.
So, our governor had diarrhea while riding in a carriage, which was also difficult.
During the break, Jiang Changyun handed over the cowhide bag, "Sir, drink some water."
For his subordinate who had followed him for more than ten years, Shi Tao did not doubt him and took two sips.
Jiang Changyun silently said in his heart, Sir, it would be great if you didn't rush so hard, can't we take it slowly?
