Chapter 411 Meeting outside the city
Buyu Feng was startled by Buyeo Fuxin's shouting. When he came to his senses, he felt humiliated.
Since ancient times, which minister dared to talk to a king like this? If not wanting to rebel, what else could this be?
Buyu Feng hated Buyeo Fuxin in his heart, and he gnashed his teeth in hatred, but he could only bear it for the time being. Now was not the time to get rid of them.
"A letter alone is not enough to prove that Daochen is collaborating with the enemy. If he really is collaborating with the enemy, who would be stupid enough to put such obvious evidence in the open."
"This is the Tang army's plan to sow discord. Uncle, don't fall into the enemy's trap! If Daochen is really killed, wouldn't it be what the Tang army wants?" Fu Yufeng said. In his heart, he actually suspected that Daochen was collaborating with the enemy.
However, only if Daochen can restrain Fu Yufuxin, Fu Yufeng can be safe. If Daochen is eliminated, Fu Yufeng will definitely be the next to be finished.
Therefore, even if he suspected, or even guarded against Daochen, he would not execute Daochen according to Fu Yufuxin's words. It was not because of trust, but because he had no choice.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for trusting me." Dao Chen hurriedly saluted. He knew in his heart that Buyeo Feng, the king they helped to become king, might not necessarily trust him.
"Your Majesty!" Buyeo Fuxin said unwillingly. He felt that Buyeo Feng was being disobedient.
"You are all loyal ministers of Baekje and the heroes who helped to restore Baekje. You should be in the same boat. How can you allow the enemy to sow discord between you?" Buyeo Feng said, ignoring Buyeo Fuxin, whose face was ashen.
Buyeo Fuxin did not dare to do anything to Buyeo Feng in front of so many people, otherwise he would be charged with treason and he would die without a burial place.
Fuyu Feng stepped forward to help Fuyu Fuxin up, holding his hand with his right hand, and stretched out his left hand to hold Daochen's hand, and put their hands together.
Fuyu Feng said to the two of them earnestly: "As long as we, the king and the minister, are of one mind, we can drive the Tang army out of Baekje."
Fuyu Fuxin pulled his hand back and saluted, saying: "Yes! I have something to do at home, so I'll take my leave!"
Fuyu Fuxin left without looking back, and no one took Fuyu Feng's words seriously. What a bullshit unity of mind, it's just a lie.
Among these people, who doesn't have ulterior motives? It's really a miracle that they can be of one mind.
"Daochen, don't mind it, my uncle is just like this, you should be more patient." Fuyu Feng wanted to cut Fuyu Fuxin into pieces, but on the surface, he looked like a peacemaker and smiled.
"I have been with him for such a long time, I know exactly what kind of person he is." Daochen said.
"By the way! What do you think of the letter from Liu Rengui, the commander of the Tang army?" Fuyu Feng asked.
"I think, since the other party asked me to go out of the city for a talk, I will go to meet him and see what tricks he can play." Daochen said.
Since the other party wants it, he will go and have a good talk, maybe the future of Baekje will be decided during the talk.
"Aren't you afraid that this is the Hongmen Banquet of the Tang Dynasty? I heard that the Han people like to hold this Hongmen Banquet the most. I have no other intentions, but I am afraid that you will be ambushed by the Tang army and my Baiji will lose a general. In my opinion, it is better not to go." Fu Yufeng said.
If Daochen goes to meet Liu Rengui, who knows what they will talk about, what if he sells them out? If
Daochen is left in the city, if something really happens, he can still react. Once he leaves the city, there will be no chance to deal with him.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I, Daochen, will fight for the future of Baekje until my death!" Daochen finished speaking, bowed, and turned away, not giving Buyeo Feng a chance to speak.
Buyeo Feng was furious. They didn't take him, the king, seriously. They came and left as they pleased, without paying any attention to him.
I'm afraid that these treacherous officials no longer have him as a king in their eyes!
However, fortunately, he still has reinforcements from Japan. Buyeo Feng has received a letter from Japan. The Japanese generals Azumi Hirafu and Abe Hirafu have led 42,000 Japanese troops on a thousand warships to rescue Baekje.
Wait until his Japanese reinforcements arrive, and see how he will deal with Buyeo Fuxin and Daochen. With the Japanese reinforcements, he wrote a letter to Goguryeo. Under the three-sided attack, what else does the Tang army have to fear?
The next morning, the morning sun just rose from the horizon, and the first ray of sunlight fell on Zhouliu City. The gate slowly opened, and Daochen came alone to keep the appointment.
On the other side, Liu Rengui left the camp early in the morning and came a hundred meters away, waiting for Daochen to come to the appointment.
"General, you are indeed punctual. Please take a seat. I have just made this tea." Liu Rengui invited Daochen to sit down and drink tea.
Daochen turned over and got off the horse, came to sit in front of Liu Rengui, and Liu Rengui poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Daochen.
Dao Chen picked up the teacup in front of him and smelled it. There was a fragrance like orchid, which was pure and lasting. The tea in the cup was apricot green, clear and bright. The tea leaves in the tea soup were tender green, evenly arranged into flowers, and the buds were upright, lifelike.
Dao Chen took a sip of the tea and praised it: "It's really good tea, but it's a bit of a waste to give it to a rough man like me!"
"If the general likes it, you can bring a few pounds of tea back when you go back. I, Liu Rengui, can still make the decision on such a small matter, so I will give you a few pounds." Liu Rengui said with a smile.
"I wonder why the ambassador asked me to come here? You and I don't have to beat around the bush, just say what you want to say." Dao Chen said.
"I, Liu Rengui, admire the general's chivalry and loyalty to Baekje. The general is a layman, so why should he get involved in this? Isn't it better for the green lamp to always accompany the Buddha?" Liu Rengui said.
Daochen frowned after hearing this. Could it be that the other party asked him to go out of the city to talk to him about these useless things?
"When the ambassador returns to the west, I will personally see him off." Daochen said.
"I will return when it is time, so don't
worry about it, general." Liu Rengui said. He knew that Daochen would definitely die if he went back this time, so he asked him out to talk to Fu Yufeng and others because they were suspicious of him.
When he returns, Fu Yufeng and others will certainly ask him what he said to me. As long as Daochen doesn't give them the answer they want, he will die.
Even if Liu Rengui wants to go back to Chang'an, he doesn't need Daochen to send him off so coldly.
"When is that?" Daochen asked. Daochen always felt that Liu Rengui had something else in his words.
"Today, you and I will just drink tea and watch the sunrise. We won't talk about other trivial matters. It's a rare opportunity to invite the general out for tea, so we shouldn't discuss other things." Liu Rengui said.
"It's hard to believe that the ambassador has nothing else to do but to meet for tea. If the ambassador likes tea, I will definitely have tea and talk with him after he withdraws his troops from Baekje." Dao Chen said.
He came to the appointment with a mission, not to have tea and chat with Liu Rengui.
Liu Rengui laughed and continued to drink tea and chat. He asked Dao Chen out today just to drink tea, and nothing else mattered.
