Chapter 1924 Three Major Events
Gu Yiyou was wondering when he saw a tall guard coming out from behind Ye Zheng and staying by his side.
It was Zhu Feng!
Gu Yiyou was stunned for a moment and looked at Ye Zheng with wide eyes.
this--
What's going on?
He had countless doubts in his mind, but he didn't dare to say a word, for fear that he would say something wrong and the whole situation would be out of control. He turned around and looked at Ying Shao and his personal soldiers, and these people also showed expressions of astonishment.
But no one dared to speak.
The lobby fell into an indescribable, eerie silence for a moment.
Only Nadab, the special envoy of the Parthian Empire, slowly stood up and spoke to Ye Zheng, who was wearing official uniform and was obviously an official who came to meet him.
Omri watched this scene quietly, and only then said, "Our envoy asks, who is this gentleman?"
No one around said a word.
Everyone was afraid of saying a wrong word and causing an irreversible situation. After all, this was a special envoy from the Parthian Empire.
At this moment, Ye Zheng's face also had a complicated expression.
In my heart, I didn't even have time to cry.
Just this morning, before the envoy from Parthia arrived, he was changing his clothes in the back, preparing to follow the emperor to meet the envoy. Unexpectedly, Zhu Feng came running over when he was halfway through changing.
Ye Zheng was behind the screen at the time. When he heard his footsteps, he was still busy joking with him: "Your Majesty, are you here to see me change my clothes?"
Zhu Feng just said, "Hurry up."
Hearing that his tone was not right, Ye Zheng hurriedly put on his official uniform and ran out in a hurry. However, he saw Zhu Feng wearing a guard's clothes with a knife on his waist. He was stunned.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing——"
Zhu Feng looked at his official uniform, which was quite neat.
He nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's good."
“…”
"You go see the special envoy."
"What?!"
Ye Zheng was horrified and grabbed Zhu Feng's sleeve. He was about to collapse. "Your Majesty, what are you doing? Why did you let me see you? You, what are you doing dressed like this?"
Zhu Feng turned around and glanced at him coldly: "Have you heard of Wei Wu ghostwriting?"
"I've heard it."
"I will catch a knife for you today."
“…”
"You go meet the special envoy, and I will be your guard behind you."
"No way!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Zheng was so frightened that he slid to the ground. He hugged Zhu Feng's legs with both hands and cried, "Your Majesty, what are you doing? Emperor Wu of Wei was the one who took charge. It was because Emperor Wu of Wei felt that I was not born well that he sent Cui Jigui to meet the Xiongnu envoy. Your Majesty, you are much more majestic than me. You are tall and handsome, with an extraordinary demeanor, awe-inspiring, and intimidating without even getting angry. Standing behind me like this is embarrassing for me!"
Zhu Feng couldn't help laughing when he heard the flattery that came out of his mouth.
But he pursed his lips and swallowed his smile.
Just said: "That's it."
“…”
"Besides, I didn't ask you to pretend to be me. I asked you to meet them in the capacity of the commander of the Shazhou Guard. He is a special envoy, and as the emperor, if I really want to meet him, it should be in the capital."
“…”
"Just meet me here."
After hearing this, Ye Zheng finally understood why Zhu Feng only brought such a small group of people this time and insisted on not wearing the dragon robe.
He had made up his mind long ago.
It’s time to “sell” yourself early in the morning!
Ye Zheng could not disobey the imperial edict, so he could only cry and listen to the emperor's instructions for a long time. He remembered what he should say, and was reminded not to lose face for the Great Yan Dynasty. Only then did he come here.
At this moment, my heart was broken.
Working for such an emperor is really like "selling" your life!
At this moment, Zhu Feng was holding the knife at his waist, standing behind Ye Zheng, with his head lowered. He scanned the people in the hall with his hawk-like eyes, and then heard Anli's words.
He didn't even look up, only glanced at Gu Yiyou. Gu Yiyou reacted quickly and immediately stepped forward and said, "This is the captain of our Great Yan Dynasty, Lord Ye Zhengye."
Omri immediately told Nadab and the others what had happened.
So everyone stood up and bowed to Ye Zheng, and Ye Zheng also waved to them to express his welcome.
After a few simple perfunctory words, he sat down.
This is Zhu Feng taking a step forward.
"Sir, everyone is here."
Although his voice was low, it was rich and deep. Everyone in the hall could hear it clearly. The special envoys Nadab and Omri could not help but look up at him.
Ye Zheng immediately said, "Go outside and close the door."
Ying Shao, who was standing aside, was originally shocked by the appearance of the two of them. Now, after hearing this, he hurriedly asked his men to go out and close the door.
As soon as the door was closed, the garden became quiet.
Ye Zheng sat in the middle of the lobby, looking at the green bamboo swaying in the wind outside, looking left and right at the special envoy from the Parthian Empire who came from afar, and the heavy pressure brought to him by the tall figure behind him.
He sighed in his heart.
There is no way.
"The special envoy has come from afar, and I should have welcomed him. However, I have been busy suppressing the bandits of the Hot Moon Bay Sands for the past few days, so I was unable to make arrangements in time."
After hearing what Omri had said, Nadab smiled and said, "We know about those bandits in the desert, too."
"oh?"
"They robbed many passing merchants, and many of our Anxi caravans suffered greatly from them. Your Excellency, if you wipe them out, you will eliminate a threat to the people on this road."
"No, no, it's just a small matter."
Ye Zheng waved his hand modestly.
Although he had been unconscious during the suppression of Hot Moon Bay, now that things had come to this, he no longer cared about stealing the emperor's credit.
Ying Shao and Gu Yiyou looked at each other.
Only Zhu Feng stood behind him with an expressionless face.
Nada said, "Sir, please do not be modest. This is no small matter. Clearing out the bandits in Hot Moon Bay will have a significant impact on the purpose of this special envoy's visit to Yan Country."
"oh?"
Let’s get down to business.
Ye Zheng's expression also grew serious. He asked, "I wonder what the special envoy's mission is on this trip to Yan Country?"
Nadab said, "By order of my lord, I wish to discuss three important matters with you."
"Please go ahead."
"The first one, in fact, has already been done by the adults."
"Oh? What's that?"
"They are the bandits of Thermidor. Our merchant caravans have suffered greatly from them. Upon learning of this, the Lord hoped to use this meeting to negotiate with your country. We could jointly send troops to eliminate the bandits and maintain stability in this area. I didn't expect that Your Excellency would be so brave and actually eliminate them. It is truly a pleasant surprise. Your Excellency is wise."
Because he needed to rely on Omri to relay the message, he spoke very slowly.
Hearing these words, Ye Zheng couldn't help but feel a little proud.
"It's just a small matter."
