Chapter 557: Investigating Emperor Kaiyuan
"impossible!"
Liang Zhongling also heard the news, and his first reaction was disbelief.
Emperor Kaiyuan breathed his last in front of him, and only after his death was confirmed did he announce it to the world.
Although the body was lost somehow, he was sure that the living person was definitely not Emperor Kaiyuan.
The next day, he went to court.
Many people were discussing this matter, but most of them did not believe it and thought it was a trick of the Luo family.
But Pei Shangling knew the Luo family well and was not one to speak nonsense.
Could it be that Emperor Kaiyuan is really still alive?
If this is true, it will be of great benefit to them.
Suppressing his joy, he stepped out of the line, looked up at Liang Zhongling, and said directly, "Sir Liang, have you heard the recent rumors in the capital?"
Liang Zhongling said calmly, "Master Pei said it was just a rumor, so why bother asking?"
Pei Shangling curled his lips and said, "That's wrong. As the saying goes, empty words don't lead to wind. Lord Liang, please make sure to investigate thoroughly. This matter concerns our country and its people. Don't make rash decisions!"
"Please, Sir Liang, investigate this matter!"
For a moment, almost all officials, except those from the Liang faction, knelt down.
Liang Zhongling's face darkened slightly. He really had to find out. Even if it was really Emperor Kaiyuan, it must be fake.
It happened that Feng Qi was sent to resist the Luo family army. He was shocked when he received another secret letter from the court.
Besides, how can he check this?
Lord Liang really gave him a difficult time.
For five consecutive days, no news came back. Liang Zhongling urged him again and again, so Feng Qi had to tentatively write a letter to Luo Huai.
"General, we really have to go to the Luo family army camp." The subordinates shouted in surprise.
Feng Qi turned around and glared at him: "Shut up, are you afraid that others can't hear you!"
As the sky darkened, the candle in Feng Qi's tent went out.
He and his men quietly slipped out of the tent. When they were still one kilometer away from the Luo family army camp, they saw a figure in front of them.
Just as the two were about to hide, Luo Huai spoke up: "My name is Luo Huai, but am I General Feng?"
Feng Qi narrowed his eyes, took two steps forward, and finally saw it clearly, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Major General Luo, nice to meet you again."
Luo Huai dismounted with a smile: "Doesn't this just prove that we are destined to be together?"
The group followed the path back to Luo Huai's residence, and they were the only two left in the room.
Feng Qi drank a cup of hot water to warm himself up, and said seriously, "Major General Luo, you should know why I came here today. Could you please tell me a little?"
He did not dare to underestimate this young man. Although he was young, he had already learned the true skills of General Zhengyuan, and his strategies and wisdom were all hidden in his heart.
Now he is leading the troops alone, and no one can disobey him when looking at his status in the army.
So I just asked directly.
Luo Huai was playing with a chess piece in his hand, with an unfathomable smile on his face: "So, what has General Feng considered?"
Feng Qi looked embarrassed and touched his hair: "This..."
"General Feng!"
Suddenly, Cao Zeng and General Qiao walked out from outside, both with smiles on their faces, looking a hundred times more energetic than when they were in Nanxia.
Feng Qi stood up immediately, not understanding what Major General Luo was trying to do.
"You've come all this way, and you haven't had dinner yet, right? Let's go, we finally meet each other, how about a drink?"
Cao Zeng put his arm around his shoulders.
Feng Qi was unable to dodge, and the other party was pushing him so hard that he was pulled out of the tent before he could even refuse.
"Luo..."
He turned around and called for people, and Luo Huai also stood up and followed: "I understand what General Feng means. We will all be family from now on. Let's go and get familiar with everyone first."
Feng Qi: ???
What family? When did he agree to it?
The subordinates who came with Feng Qi were about to say that the people sent by Lord Liang were still waiting in the military camp, and they must go back tonight.
But before he could say a word, he was pulled away by the people brought by Cao Zeng to build relationships.
Feng Qi swallowed as he walked into another tent and lifted the curtain.
The fragrant roast duck has crispy skin, rich meat flavor, and a variety of brightly colored side dishes.
There was a small pot on each seat with fire at the bottom. I didn't know what the soup was made of, but when I got closer I could only smell an indescribable taste.
It was as if he had smelled it somewhere before, and it was refreshing, but he was sure that he had never eaten at the Luo family camp before.
"General Feng, what are you standing there for? Sit down!"
Cao Zeng pushed the man to his seat and said, "Hua Xiang Lou is the most popular restaurant in Ji and You. These dishes are all from those chefs. Come and try them."
Feng Qi couldn't help but lick his lips, "Is this really the Huaxiang Building?"
Cao Zeng turned his head and smiled, "Has General Feng heard of it too?"
Feng Qi nodded immediately. "Of course. Hua Xiang Lou's reputation is well-known even in the capital. Merchants who pass by say that if you have tasted Hua Xiang Lou's delicacies, your life will be worthwhile."
Cao Zeng laughed heartily and raised his thumbs up: "Yes, General Feng is right."
But Feng Qi still had that intention in his mind. He clearly came to inquire about Emperor Kaiyuan, but ended up coming here to eat and drink for free.
Otherwise, try it first, and don’t eat it when asked later.
As if knowing what he was thinking, Luo Huai whispered, "After this meal, we can talk about the aftermath."
Hearing this, Feng Qi felt relieved of most of the burden in his heart.
He was here to investigate on orders, and now the conditions and requirements are laid out clearly, so, eat it!
Having made up his mind, Feng Qi could no longer hold back and picked up a piece of duck leg at hand, chewing it until his mouth was full of oil.
“Hmm…”
His eyes suddenly lit up, and the word "good time" came out of his bulging mouth.
Luo Huai knew that this was the right move.
People have different hobbies.
If it weren't for the letter from my mother, who would have thought that a great general would have such a big appetite.
And it's not just ordinary love. For a bite of delicious food, people would even reveal the color of their underwear.
The wine was good, and Feng Qi was particularly restrained today. Before leaving, he looked at the remaining half jar of wine reluctantly.
Seeing this, Luo Huai gave it to him directly.
"Haha, Major General Luo is so generous!" Feng Qi happily hugged the wine jar tightly and burped.
When the cold wind blows, I remember that I have not done the important things yet.
He paused and turned around rather embarrassedly: "Um, is Emperor Kaiyuan really still alive?"
Luo Huai crossed his arms, his eyes gleaming, "General Feng wants the answer. He can live or die!"
"Burp~"
Feng Qi was frightened by the deep meaning of it.
His eyes widened, and he couldn't help but wonder how the Luo family did it.
Lord Liang clearly witnessed his death, and now the Luo family says he can live?
"Look how frightened General Feng is." Luo Huai suddenly smiled, his expression relaxed. "Everyone knows that the dead cannot be resurrected. Emperor Kaiyuan has long been buried in the imperial mausoleum. Where can we find someone to come here?"
