Chapter 790 Goodbye Zhang Daoyuan

Luo Xin took the letter, opened it, and frowned slightly.Then his brows widened again, he went back to the room, changed into plain clothes, loaded the musket with bullets, put it in his cuff, put on the sword, picked up the big folding fan, and said to Lu Daqing:
"Daqing, bring your weapons and me to meet someone."

"Who?"

Luo Xin lowered his voice and said, "Zhang Daoyuan."

"Zhang Daoyuan?" Lu Daqing's expression changed: "My lord, I'll inform General Qi."

"Don't!" Luo Xin grabbed Lu Daqing's wrist and said, "If you inform General Qi, Zhang Daoyuan will never come out to see me again."

"Hou Ye means that Zhang Daoyuan sent people to monitor the magistrate's yamen."

"En!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "If it's just the two of us going, Zhang Daoyuan will come out to see me. If there are many people going, Zhang Daoyuan will definitely not come out to see me."

"If you don't see it, you won't see it!" Lu Daqing said: "The villain will immediately notify General Qi, close the city gates, and search house by house. I don't believe I can't catch them."

"It may not be possible to catch them." Luo Xin shook his head and said, "If they see you go out, I'm afraid they will withdraw from Hangzhou Mansion immediately."

"Then...you can't go either!" Lu Daqing shook his head like a rattle: "Master Hou, you can't go, you were assassinated by a dead man just now, it would be too dangerous for us to go alone."

Luo Xin pondered for a while and said: "It's very dangerous, but it's worth going. I really want to talk to him. Now that the northern Tartars have been pacified, and the southeast Japanese pirates have been pacified, only Zhang Daoyuan is left. If you can convince He no longer rebelled, this is the blessing of the people of Ming Dynasty. And... Zhang Daoyuan was the one who shot the female dead soldier to death with an arrow before."

"grown ups……"

"If you want to go, I will go by myself!"

Luo Xin strode towards the back door, Lu Daqing hurriedly chased Luo Xin with a long sword.

"My lord, wait for Daqing."

Luo Xin took Lu Daqing to Dongshi, and Zhang Daoyuan sent him a letter inviting Luo Xin to meet him in Dongshi.Before Luo Xin and Lu Daqing reached Dongshikou, they saw Zhang Daoyuan wearing a Confucian shirt with a sword on his waist, standing with his hands behind his back, smiling at Luo Xin.

Luo Xin's gaze swept around Zhang Daoyuan, including the roof ridges on both sides, and found no suspicious person.A smile appeared on his face, and he came to Zhang Daoyuan and said:
"Brother Zhang."

"Thank you Brother Luo for coming. Please, Brother Luo!"

"Brother Zhang, please!"

The two turned around and walked towards the East City side by side. Lu Daqing followed behind, looking at Zhang Daoyuan's back from time to time, and wanted to draw his sword to stab Zhang Daoyuan's back several times.

There are a lot of people in Dongshi, who are selling, buying, bargaining, arguing, and laughing.

Zhang Daoyuan and Luo Xin walked in the crowd, Zhang Daoyuan showed admiration on his face and said:
"Brother Luo, I really didn't expect you to come."

Luo Xin smiled lightly and said, "Aside from your identity, Bu Qi is still very willing to be friends with you."

"Daoyuan is honored."

"Tell me, what's the matter with inviting me?"

"I still want to invite brother Luo and me to do righteous deeds."

Luo Xin shook his head and said, "Don't mention this matter again."

"Can you tell me the reason?" Zhang Daoyuan was not in a hurry, and asked with a smile.

Luo Xin sighed and said, "Why bother the people of the world."

Zhang Daoyuan laughed twice with a "hehe" and said, "Brother Luo, why do you need to lie to Daoyuan?"

"Why do you say that?"

Zhang Daoyuan pondered for a moment and said, "I'm going to the grassland."

Luo's confidence sank, but his expression did not change: "Oh? The scenery of the grassland is not bad, right?"

"Brother Luo still wants to lie?"

"Cheat what?"

"I went to the grassland because I heard that a hero named Luo Qing has recently risen in the grassland."

After saying that, Zhang Daoyuan stared at Luo Xin, Luo Xin sighed softly in his heart, but he still didn't change his face and said:
"Oh? I've been away from the north for a long time, so I really don't know about it."

Zhang Daoyuan pondered for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "Don't worry about how I did it, anyway, I'm sure that Luo Qing is your elder brother."

Seeing that Luo Xin still did not respond, Zhang Daoyuan continued: "You keep saying that you are for the people of the world, but you are cultivating power in the grassland. Now Luo Qing has an army of 12. Luo Xin, can you tell me what you want to do? what?"

"It's just your thoughts, not facts."

Zhang Daoyuan was silent for a moment and said: "Let me give you a piece of news. The border gate has already heard about Luo Qing's name and has started an investigation. It won't be long before this matter can't be concealed. It will definitely be reported to Jiajing. At that time, you What to do? Was he beheaded by Jiajing honestly, or was it the other way around."

Seeing that Luo Xin was still indifferent, Zhang Daoyuan lowered his voice and said: "Luo Xin, I am absolutely sure that Luo Qing is your elder brother, why do you need to hide it? I want to know now, what exactly do you want to do?"

"If you want to rebel, the two of us can join forces. When the time comes, the two of us will rule the river and each will occupy half of the country."

"Brother Daoyuan!" Luo Xin pondered for a moment and said, "Do you think the rebellion can succeed now?"

"Why can't it succeed?"

Luo Xin shook his head and said, "Your ancestors Zhang Shicheng and Zhu Yuanzhang, why did you rebel in the first place? And finally overthrew the Yuan Dynasty?"

"Fame is worthless!"

"Yes!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "Then do you think that Daming's name is worthless?"

Without waiting for Zhang Daoyuan to speak, Luo Xin continued: "Now the northern grasslands have been pacified, the southeast Japanese pirates have been wiped out, and there is no war in the world. The Shibo Department earns a lot of gold and silver every year, and there will be no problems with Ming's finances. Daming Everything is moving in a good direction. It can be said that Daming has begun to recover and is developing in the direction of prosperity. At this time, even if people rebel again, do you think the people will follow? In other words, there will be rebellions base?
Brother Daoyuan, without the people as the foundation, the rebellion is just a flower in the mirror, a moon in the water, and will not succeed.In the end, all he could do was die.I am not opposed to rebellion, and I have no loyalty to Daming.But seeing that the rebellion will not succeed, and I will die, I am not that stupid. "

Zhang Daoyuan said with bitterness on his face: "It's not that I haven't thought about it. We already had the basis for rebellion. Daming's finances collapsed, natural and man-made disasters continued, exiles spread everywhere, northern Tartars attacked the capital, and Japanese pirates ravaged the southeast. Daming It has been stormy.

but……

Who knew, but there was such a freak as you.Shengshengdi pacified the northern grasslands, and then pacified the pirates in the southeast, and then operated the Shibo Department to solve the Ming Dynasty's finances.In this way, even if there are natural disasters and man-made disasters, Daming is still capable of calming them down.If it weren't for you, I'm afraid there are already rebels everywhere.
