Chapter 759 Xie Zhan Picks Peaches
"Sir Wang, what do you say?" Lu Desheng asked Wang Yun, who was silent on the side, directly, but he would not allow him to get away with it.
Wang Yun: "Your victory was not fair and just."
Zhang Xian then said, "Master Wang, the game is over. It's really boring to talk about this anymore." What had he been doing earlier? "Don't you understand the principle of accepting defeat?"
At this time, Tuoba Jin spoke up, "Who said the competition is over? We, Xianbei and Dali, haven't decided the second and third place yet."
Lu Desheng sneered, "Then you guys compete, compete now!" You want to use the delaying tactic, right?
"Second Prince——" The subordinate pulled Tuoba Jin.
Tuoba Jin suddenly remembered that the Xianbei polo team was almost wiped out, and he couldn't change players, so how could he compete?
Looking at Wang Yun again, he felt that he could not break off relations with Dali yet.
To be honest, Dali's butt is a little crooked. We can flirt with him secretly, but we can't offend him.
Pingzhou's attitude has always been tough, and it has never been involved in corruption with the Xianbei people, thus eliminating the Xianbei people's desire to please both sides.
So he admitted defeat with a dark face, "In the match against Dali, we Xianbei admit defeat."
"Very good, isn't the result of the competition out now?" After saying this, Lu Desheng looked at Tuoba Jin and said, "Second Prince Tuoba, does that mean Shengle belongs to us in Pingzhou?"
Tuoba Jin crossed his arms and said with a forced smile, "If you in Pingzhou are capable, go and get it."
Lu Desheng nodded. "Your words are enough." He turned to Wang Yun and said, "Sir Wang, what about you?"
Wang Yun gritted his teeth and refused to say anything more.
Lü Desheng: "Wang Yun, you are from the Wang clan of Langya and now represent the face of the Dali court. By saying this, are you admitting that Dali cannot afford to lose? Dali is a great nation, so it wouldn't go back on its word, would it?"
Faced with the repeated verbal pressure from Lu Desheng and Zhang Xian, Wang Yun was speechless and had no way to respond.
At this time, Zheng Lingfeng stepped out from behind Wang Yun and said, "Lord Lu, Lord Zhang, there is no need to force Wang Yun. All the bets on the polo match were agreed to by Wang Yun himself. He does not represent the emperor, nor does he represent Dali."
Zheng Lingfeng's argument struck Lü Desheng as ridiculous. "Since the establishment of the Three States Free Trade Zone, Wang Yun has been in charge of all related affairs. The Dali Emperor and the Dali court originally granted him this power. Now that their interests are being harmed, they want to deny his decision?"
As soon as Zheng Lingfeng moved, his men followed suit and stood on his side.
Wang Yun was shocked by Zheng Lingfeng's abnormal behavior. "Zheng Lingfeng, you?"
Zheng Lingfeng had always followed Wang Yun's lead, but when he suddenly jumped out, everyone present was surprised, except for Lu Desheng and Zhang Xian.
Pingzhou had long known that Zheng of Xingyang was already a senior member of the Imperial Merchants Group, which meant that they had already defected to or become dependent on Xie Zhan.
"Wang Yun, shut up. I am now in full control of the Three States Free Trade Zone."
After Zheng Lingfeng finished speaking, he ignored him and said, "Wang Yun, compared to Regent Xie Zhan, you are still too young."
As soon as there was any movement in Dali, the guards from Pingzhou stepped forward and protected Lu Desheng and Zhang Xian tightly.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Lu Desheng looked at Wang Yun and shook his head, "Wang Yun, Wang Yun, you don't know yet, Xie Zhan is already the regent of Dali."
Song Mo passed away, but the news was kept secret. Lu Songli did not choose to spread the news, but chose to take advantage of the situation. Firstly, it was to maximize the benefits, and secondly, it was to protect Li Jieying.
Now that Zheng Lingfeng has appeared, it is time for this news to be revealed.
After Lu Desheng broke the news, Wang Yun was so shocked that he saw stars.
Upon hearing the news that Xie Zhan was promoted to regent, the Dali officials present had different expressions. Even Zheng Lingfeng's face looked ugly. It was all because Lu Desheng knew too much.
At this time, Wang Yun questioned, "Zheng Lingfeng, did you, the Zheng family, secretly make peace with Xie Zhan?"
Wang Yun was indeed an outstanding child of an aristocratic family. He immediately calmed himself down and grasped the key to the problem.
He never expected that he worked so hard to run the Xuzhou District of the Three States Free Trade Zone, took the lead in uniting several other families, stood in the front, negotiated with Pingzhou, and fought for the interests of Dali, but in the end, Xie Zhan took the advantage?
Zheng Lingfeng chuckled and said, "Don't be so harsh. It's because your Wang family's skills are inferior to others."
Wang Yun's breath was caught. Is this an admission?
The scenes of the past flashed through Wang Yun's mind.
The regent is what their royal family wants.
It turns out that all the actions of the Wang family, or Wang Yun, were carried out under the calculations of others.
They were just chess pieces used by Xie Zhan to deal with Lu Songli. They filled in when he was absent and helped Xie Zhan withstand the pressure from Pingzhou.
Xie Zhan, you are really amazing.
Wang Yun smiled self-deprecatingly.
Zheng Lingfeng was right. He was in full control of the situation in Dali.
The Dali army had already deployed its troops, with the intention of surrounding Lu Desheng, Zhang Xian and others.
Lu Desheng and Zhang Xian looked at each other and thought, the real purpose is revealed.
At this time, Qin Sheng came over with a group of people.
On the other side, Tuoba Lian saw that the situation was not right, so he brought people to support his second brother Tuoba Jin.
The situation is tense and the three parties are vaguely in opposition.
Watching this scene, Zheng Lingfeng asked, "Are you from Pingzhou going to seize Xuzhou by force?"
Zhang Xian: "No, Xuzhou has already been lost to you. You Dali and Xianbei should have made your bet. If you insist on obstructing us, then we will only take Pingzhou for ourselves."
Zheng Lingfeng said quietly, "Lord Lu, Lord Zhang, and General Qin Liu, as the saying goes, if you always retreat, you'll be able to meet again in the future. We three parties just agreed to a truce last year, so why make such a scene?"
Lu Desheng rolled his eyes and said, "Yeah, we don't want to make things so ugly. You might as well just accept the defeat and save us from a big fight." If they didn't want to make things ugly, why was it Pingzhou that gave in instead of Dali?
Seeing that no one could convince him, Zheng Lingfeng threatened, "If you Pingzhou insist on taking it, we Dali will have no choice but to fight to the end."
Lu Desheng: "I'm here for you! I must! Anyone who doesn't is a dog!"
"Lv Desheng, don't force me."
"Then you try it and see if you Dali have any means to threaten Pingzhou."
Zheng Lingfeng took a deep breath. This Lu Desheng was too arrogant. He had to take action to intimidate him, so he winked at his confidant.
His confidant gestured towards the distance.
Lu Desheng looked at the scene with disdain. Are they going to detonate explosives? These are all leftovers from their Pingzhou play.
After waiting for the explosion he'd been waiting for, Zheng Lingfeng suddenly looked at Lu Desheng, his eyes filled with shock. How could the explosives be useless? Logically speaking, the Qingzhou District area should have been blown to ashes by this moment.
While the Dali and Xianbei were engaging in shady practices, Pingzhou wasn't idle either, was it? The construction of Qingzhou District took many factors into consideration, one of which was the diversion of a hidden river from the mountains not far to the northwest into an underground reservoir for irrigation.
After learning that Xie Zhan's men had spent a large sum of money to buy the gunpowder formula, they began to make preparations.
"Shocked? Of course you are shocked. Humph, Lord Zheng, there is something even more shocking. Look--" As Lu Desheng spoke, he slowly pointed his hand towards Xuzhou.
At this moment, everyone couldn't help but be attracted by his words, and then looked in the direction he pointed.
At this moment, a tongue of fire was seen spurting out from somewhere, and then a loud bang was heard, and a big hole was directly blasted in Xuzhou City.
Everyone was stunned. What the heck is this?
