Chapter 252 Discovered

Prince Gong was appointed as the imperial envoy by the new emperor. After receiving the order, he immediately took his entourage and rushed to Liaodong County to deal with Tuobalian's problem.

In order to rush to Liaodong County, Prince Gong rode a horse for half a day and took a carriage for half a day, almost covering more than 600 miles a day, which was very hard. Prince Gong felt like his old bones were all broken.

On the way, Prince Gong also heard that Lu Desheng advocated negotiations with the Xianbei royal court in the name of Houcheng County Magistrate. Prince Gong was quite surprised at that time. He only thought that Lu Desheng was awesome. He had just left Chang'an and took office, and he got the title of county magistrate. And the governor's important role, taking the lead alone?

It seems that Lu Desheng is quite suitable for being an official outside the country. In such a short time, he has become prosperous.

However, when they hurriedly entered Liaoxi County and stayed at the Governor's Mansion, they learned through the chief steward of the Governor's Mansion that Lu Desheng had presided over the negotiations without the Governor's consent!

Prince Gong staggered immediately. He couldn't believe what he heard. Lu Desheng had deceived his superiors and overstepped his authority?

But when he thought about it, he felt that it was something he, Lu Desheng, could do.

Wait, Prince Gong thought that the negotiation with the Xianbei Royal Court was led by Lu Desheng, and he couldn't help but wonder, Lu Desheng wouldn't have even bypassed his immediate superior, the governor of the county, Zheng Xun, right?

Prince Gong suddenly felt his scalp numb. He looked in the direction of Liaodong County and stamped his feet. This guy Lu Desheng is really capable of causing trouble. He just left Chang'an and caused big trouble!

At this time, the chief steward of the governor's office was trying to settle them, but Prince Gong said directly, "We can't wait any longer, we have to continue on our way!"

The entourage reminded him, "Your Majesty, today is March 22, and negotiations have already begun." It was too late to rush over now.

The chief steward of the governor's office also said quickly, "Don't worry, imperial envoy, our governor has already rushed there as soon as he received the news, and must have arrived in Houcheng by now."

Prince Gong didn't listen, "Let's hurry up!"

The governor is the governor, he is him!

Besides, the results of the negotiations will come out in one day. You can't keep arguing with me for a long time. If they rush over now, it will definitely be too late.

The entourage wanted to persuade them again. They now spent almost eight hours a day on the road. If they continued to rush, they were young and fine, but Prince Gong, an old man, might not be able to bear it.

"Your Majesty, we are exhausted now, why don't we rest for two hours? Let's get up early tomorrow and hurry up."

Prince Gong glanced at the entourage and horses, and at the same time felt a sense of fatigue coming over his body, and had to nod.

The governor they mentioned would also be blocked on a certain official road in Wangping County.

"Sir, it's getting dark, do you still want to continue digging?" Jiang Changyun asked for your permission as his companions pushed him down.

It took them a day to clear this section of the road, but only two-thirds of it was cleared. Even if they worked overnight, it would probably take them all night.

The people who blocked the road were really wicked. The road that was blocked was really well chosen, and there was no way to get to the front or back of the road. It is very difficult for them to organize people to clear the road, which brings a lot of trouble to their dredging work.

Although Jiang Changyun was asking for instructions, he knew very well that all the working villagers wanted to go home. These villagers' homes are three or four miles away from here, and they all want to go home when it gets dark.

Shi Tao waved his hand, "No, let them go back and come back tomorrow."

Now he is no longer in a hurry, the negotiations have begun, and there is no point in being anxious. Anyway, for him now, it doesn't matter whether it's sooner or later. When the road is open, he can just go and question Lu Desheng.

It is certain that Lu Desheng has overstepped his authority! No matter what the outcome of this negotiation is, Lu Desheng will not get any good results.

When Jiang Changyun went to ask for instructions, the villagers gradually stopped their work.

The other villagers withdrew from the official road and found a place to sit or lean on each other. Only two villagers were lazy and leaned sideways on the stones blocking the road.

The two were chatting, and the person who suddenly spoke was stopped by another person, "Stop talking. Did you hear anything?"

The two of them listened intently.

"Help! Help—"

"It seems like someone is calling for help?"

"The sound seems to be coming from the other side of the road. Would you like to go over and have a look?"

"It's better to report it to that adult."

After the two villagers reported the situation, Shi Tao was not too concerned about it and casually asked them to go over and take a look.

Later, they did rescue a person, but the person fainted, so Shi Tao gave the villagers some money to take the person back for treatment.

During this period, Jiang Changyun silently disposed of the remaining croton powder. Your Majesty is no longer on the road, so there is no need for it. His mission was completed, he didn't care what happened next.

Shengle Wangting

Because Tuoba Xun, the eldest son, performed well, Tuoba Khan was in a good mood.

After Tuoba's patrol, the second housekeeper Qiu Mulingfang was thinking about something to say to keep Khan happy.

Last night, he went to see a southerner named Xue Xu. He talked a lot with him that night and taught him several ways to please the Khan. He tried one of them in the morning and it had great results.

Now, let him think about whether there were any words suitable to praise the Khan here.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he thought of it.

"Congratulations Khan."

"Why are you so happy?"

"The eldest prince has grown up and can help the Khan to share his worries."

"Hahaha, you can also see that he has grown up?"

Tuoba Khan smiled, and Qiumulingfang felt that he had found the right direction. He then continued, "Yes, the prince's way of handling it is the best. Khan has always had great ambitions, and now the time has not come, so he really shouldn't start a war. I heard that there is a saying in the south, build high walls, store up food, and slowly become king..."

He was only concerned with showing off, and didn't notice that Tuoba Khan's face had changed, becoming very scary.

"Qimulingfang, who told you this?"

Qimulingfang, who noticed that Khan's voice was wrong, raised his head and found that Tuoba Khan's face was very serious at the moment. He was completely dumbfounded. Did he, did he say something wrong?

Tuoba Khan repeated his question again.

Tuoba Khan knew very well that he, the second butler, was not a smart person, and could not compare with the first butler. He always made fun of him, but he was still loyal, and he could complete everything he was told to do perfectly, and it was not without merit, so he kept him around to listen to him.

Qiumulingfang was frightened, "No, no one——"

The butler spoke at this time, "This matter is of great importance, you should tell the truth."

Looking at the serious faces of the Khan and the butler, Qiumulingfang suddenly realized that things were not simple. He quickly told the details of his meeting with Xue Xu and the content of the conversation.

Tuoba Khan listened with a gloomy face and said to the butler, "Send someone to capture the person for this Khan!"

"Yes!"

But when the butler led the most elite warriors of the Xianbei to Shengle No. 1 Restaurant, the people who originally lived on the second floor had already left.

He asked the store owner, and the store owner said that he had not seen anyone all day.

The butler realized that the other party might have noticed something was wrong, so it was better to leave first.

"Divide the troops into three groups and chase them!" The butler ordered, and all three groups went to the direction of Dali.
