marquis of jingan

Chapter 764
With Shen Yi's words, the young general was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground.

"Master Imperial Envoy!"

Zhao Zhuo bowed his head deeply, and said in a deep voice, "There is a big misunderstanding in this matter!"

He looked up at Shen Yi's carriage, and said loudly: "Please go back to Fengyang Mansion with the imperial envoy and the last general, to find out the matter together and clear up the misunderstanding!"

Master Shen didn't speak for a long time.

After a while, Shen Yi's almost emotionless voice came out: "What misunderstanding?"

Zhao Zhuo gritted his teeth and said, "Last night, there must be some misunderstanding about the fire in the imperial envoy's Xingyuan. Please go back to Fengyang first. Within three days, the subordinate officials will definitely investigate this matter and give you an explanation!"

In Master Shen's carriage, there was no sound again.

Luo Yong put his head into the carriage and said something to Shen Yi. After a while, he turned around and looked at Zhao Zhuo, and said loudly: "General Zhao, my imperial envoy said that since this matter is a misunderstanding, then we should There is nothing to investigate, and the imperial envoy didn't say anything about it, and it has nothing to do with the Huaihe Navy."

"My master was injured by the anger last night and needs to go back to Jiankang immediately to recuperate. Please, General Zhao, make way for my master to go back to Jiankang."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo immediately became a little anxious. He stood up from the ground, looked at Shen Yi, gritted his teeth and said, "Master Imperial Envoy, let's go back to Fengyang City with the last general!"

Luo Yong got his head into the carriage again, and communicated with Master Shen, and then the secretary of the mansion's newspaper department looked back at Zhao Zhuo, majestic.

"General Zhao, my master asks you, if he doesn't go back today, you will stop him here as an imperial envoy!"

"In broad daylight, the sky is bright, your Zhao family is going to attack an injured imperial envoy!"

Zhao Zhuo was speechless.

But he still refused to give in, and the two sides were deadlocked.

The scene fell into a deathly silence.

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Yi in the carriage coughed and said slowly, "Young General, come forward, and I'll have a few words with you."

Zhao Zhuo immediately stepped forward and came near Shen Yi's carriage, lowered his head slightly, and said, "Master Imperial Envoy, please tell me."

At this time, Master Shen was sitting lazily in the carriage, safe and sound.

He set the fire himself, so naturally he would not be burned by the fire he set. At this moment, he was just pretending. Seeing Zhao Zhuo approaching, he said lightly: "This is the end of the matter, I want you to talk to me today." It is definitely impossible for you to return to Fengyang, it is not as good as you and me..."

"How about taking a step back?"

Zhao Zhuo was silent for a while, then asked: "Dare to ask the imperial envoy, how can each take a step back?"

"You let me leave Fengyang Mansion."

Shen Yi said lightly: "I also promise you, I will not go back to Jiankang immediately."

"I will find a town near Fengyang Mansion to live in and rest for a few days."

The sphere of influence of the Huaihe Navy is about the scope of Fengyang Mansion. In the past few decades, several generations of the Zhao family have managed Fengyang Mansion as if it were their own. But outside Fengyang Mansion, their control ability is very general up.

Zhao Zhuo was silent for a while, and then asked: "Then what happened after the Imperial Envoy rested for a few days?"

"I'll wait for General Zhao to meet me in that town."

Shen Yi said lightly: "I will talk with General Zhao slowly about specific matters."

Zhao Zhuo remained silent.

Master Shen coughed, and said quietly: "Otherwise, we will be in a stalemate here. Although I am in Fengyang, the people in the residence newspaper department may have already spread the news to Fengyang. The imperial envoy killed me with a knife, otherwise it would be impossible to keep me here forever."

Zhao Zhuo closed his eyes, thought for a long time, and then said in a hoarse voice, "Master Imperial Envoy, there is a town in the southeast of this place, named Yinjian Town."

"There, it's on the edge of Fengyang Mansion."

"The last general..."

He lowered his head, with a respectful expression: "I will escort you to Yinjian Town."

Shen Yi in the carriage nodded lightly, and said, "Okay, then I'll go to Yinjian Town to recuperate."

So, Zhao Zhuo got on his horse again, and with a big wave of his hand, the fifty people he led lined up in two rows, followed behind Shen Yi's carriage, and escorted Master Shen's carriage.

Yinjian Town is not far from Fengyang, and a group of people will arrive in this town before dark. The only inn in the town is immediately requisitioned by Shen Yi's accompanying guards. In the night, four or five people take the imperial envoy from the carriage. He "lifted" him down, then sent Shen Yi into the guest room of the inn, and closed the doors and windows tightly.

See no one.

For the next two days, Master Shen stayed in his room for two days, basically not going out much.

On the evening of the third day, Shen Yi was in his room, drinking tea leisurely, Jiang Sheng carefully opened the door, and then came to Shen Yi, lowered his head slightly and said: "My lord..."

He whispered: "More than a hundred riders have entered Yinjian Town!"

Shen Yi nodded slightly, stood up, stretched lazily, yawned and said: "There is nothing to make a fuss about. After waiting for several days, isn't it just waiting for him to come? Go out and watch, if Zhao Lu Come see me yourself, and you'll let him in."

Jiang Sheng nodded, and went to guard the door.

After another half an hour, when it was completely dark, a somewhat hoarse voice sounded at the door of Shen Yi's room.

"Is Shen Qin here?"

Jiang Sheng at the door glanced at the person coming, and asked boldly: "But General Zhao?"

The middle-aged man at the door sighed silently when he heard the words, and said a little tiredly, "It's me."

Jiang Sheng opened the door, bowed his head slightly and said, "My son, I have been waiting for the general for a long time."

Seeing this, General Zhao was also very sensible. He turned his head silently, glanced at the attendants behind him, and said calmly: "You are waiting for me outside. No matter what happens, I didn't let you in, so you are not allowed to move rashly."

"Yes!"

Accompanied by a sound of neat responses, General Zhao walked into Master Shen's recuperating room with his hands behind his back.

As soon as he walked into this room, Zhao Lu couldn't help frowning.

He glanced at the back of the young man lying on the bed, then found a chair and sat down, sighed silently: "There is no smell of medicine in the room, obviously Brother Shen is not injured."

He looked at Shen Yi, and said slowly: "Brother Shen has spent so much trouble, all he wants is to see me, and now I'm here."

"Brother Shen, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Master Shen, who was lying on the bed, just "sit up in shock from a dying illness", and sat up slowly. He sat on the edge of the bed, looked at General Zhao sitting in front of him, and smiled.

"Although there was no injury on his body, the fire really scared Shen a lot. Lord Hou didn't know about it. In the past few days, Shen has been dreaming at night, and his dreams are all about the fire that burned the sky red."

"It's really scary."

Seeing him sitting up, Zhao Lu was silent for a while, and then said, "Brother Shen, you must have started the fire yourself, right?"

Shen Yi didn't answer directly, but just looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, and said lightly: "Master Hou thinks, does it matter who releases it?"

Zhao Lu shook his head silently, and then laughed at himself: "As expected of Shen Qilang who manages the southeast, Quanzi and the others are not your opponents at all."

"Master Hou is wrong."

The smile on Master Shen's face subsided, and he said slowly: "Actually, Young Master Ling and the others were too powerful, making Shen really helpless, so he had to make such a bad plan."

General Zhao put his hands in the sleeves in front of him. He looked up at Shen Yi with a calm voice.

"When you set fire to Fengyang like this, it is indeed a ruthless move to set the name of the imperial envoy on fire and put it on the head of my Huaihe naval officer, but..."

General Zhao narrowed his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "However, if you bring this result back to Jiankang, you will immediately push the Jiankang court into a difficult situation. When the time comes, the prime ministers in Zhongshu may not be angry with you." .”

"Even Your Majesty..."

Zhao Lu said slowly: "Maybe I will blame you, brother Shen."

"Take advantage of the momentum to force the court!"

Shen Yi looked at Zhao Lu quietly, without any expression on his face, and said quietly: "So, it depends on who can't accept it more."

"Master Hou, you have been busy fighting on the front line, but now you have withdrawn and rushed back, obviously..."

Master Shen's face was calm: "General, you can't accept falling out with the court."

Zhao Lu snorted when he heard this.

"I just don't want to see Da Chen's court being dragged to a point of no return by you young people's impulsiveness!"

"No matter what Master Hou says."

Master Shen looked calm, and said lightly: "Master Hou, you are still here after all."

"The matter has come to this point today, and there is nothing else to say. Since the general is not busy today, Shen wants to have a good chat with the general about the Huaihe Navy."

"By the way, talk to the general about the conditions."

Zhao Lu raised his head, looked at Shen Yi, and his tone was surprisingly calm: "You talk to me? Are you qualified?"

This sentence is not a sarcasm, but a question sentence.

Shen Yi was not angry, but silently took out the gold medal that he had carried with him for a long time from his arms, got up and put it in front of Zhao Lu, and then asked with a smile.

"Is that enough now?"

Zhao Lu didn't even look at the gold medal, but said slowly, "I'm afraid it might not be enough."

This gold medal represents the emperor.

Zhao Lu's words mean that the will of the emperor alone may not be able to completely influence the court situation.

Shen Yi frowned, put the gold medal back in his arms, and said in a deep voice: "If the general has this attitude, then we will have no way to talk."

Zhao Lu was silent for a moment, then closed his eyes, and after thinking for a long time, opened his eyes and looked at Shen Yi.

"Commissioner Shen Qin, what do you want to talk about? How?"

"Of course we're talking about the Huaihe Navy, about Zhao..."

"Zhao Clan."

For the first time, someone directly said the word "Zhao Clan" in front of Zhao Lu.

With a serious face, Shen Yi asked, "Master Hou thinks so."

"Will the Zhao Clan last long?"
