Pa Ba said meaningfully: "I called you here because you are of great use, of course?"
"Do you want to send more soldiers to sneak into the checkpoint in the name of strengthening trade, and then cooperate with the outside forces?" Fang Zhengyi said without hesitation.
"Brother Fang is indeed smart! But this is only one of the reasons. What's more important is that I am concerned about Brother Fang's own talents."
"To be honest, I have sent people to keep an eye on the movements in the capital. I heard that Brother Fang has created a magical object that can fly, and I invited you here to make it. If there really are flying soldiers, then a surprise attack on food supplies will be impossible to prevent. My Great Jin is betting the entire country this time, so naturally we don't want anything to go wrong."
"If you cooperate with me honestly, you will have everything from gold and silver to beautiful women in the future, and it is not impossible for you to be made a marquis or a prime minister! Brother Fang, I have always admired your talent, and a talent like you will never be buried in the hands of His Majesty."
Fuck! I am still popular. The King of Wu wants to snatch me away. Are you going to snatch me away too?
"Impossible! I, Fang Zheng, have been a minister of Da Jing all my life, and I will be a ghost of Da Jing after my death! Ask around, everyone knows that I am a loyal minister." Fang Zheng said angrily, "If I obey you, I will be a slave of three families. How will my descendants look at me in the future?"
"A slave with three surnames?" Pa Ba was confused and touched his bald head: "It should be two surnames, right?"
"......, even two surnames are not allowed!"
"How can you say you are a loyal minister? Haven't you used newspapers to discredit me enough? You even make up a story about yourself that says you are a wise man. Do you think I don't know anything? And you even misused public resources for personal gain. I know that your prince actually has a copy of the newspaper, right? But it's full of advertisements for your Taoyuan County industries, and there are those obscene headlines. How do you explain that?" Paba got a little angry as he spoke. He usually liked to read newspapers, and he felt sick when he thought of the headline party.
Fang Zhengyi was silent for a while and said, "What you said...is not true."
He couldn't explain it. After all, what Paba said was right. Most of the advertisements in newspapers now were indeed industries in Taoyuan County.
In order to increase sales, newspapers have indeed changed all their news to shocking and exciting styles. There is nothing we can do about it, people just love to read this...
Pa Ba waved his hand and smiled: "It doesn't matter. Anyway, I have shown my sincerity today. Brother Fang, you can think about it carefully. I will give you three days. From today on, I will send more people to strictly guard this place. No one in the delegation is allowed to step out of the post station again. Those who violate the rules will be beheaded."
"If you don't agree after three days, I will start killing people from the envoys. For every day of delay, I will kill three people. Each person will be executed in front of you until they are all killed."
Damn! This old monk is so cruel! ?
Fang Zhengyi was furious and immediately pointed at Pa Ba's forehead and cursed: "Two countries are at war and you still don't kill the envoys. Pa Ba, you are a scum of Buddhism!"
I'm not a monk, what's your uncle, Buddhism? !
Papa's face instantly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot: "That's all I have to say. When you figure it out, tell the guard downstairs. Goodbye!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
Looking at his back, Fang Zhengyi felt miserable.
It's so frustrating. This trip is so frustrating. This is a desperate situation...
Seeing Paba disappear, Fang Zhengyi became more and more angry and picked up the teapot and threw it towards the door, shouting, "Damn it, you're so fast!"
With a snap, the teapot broke into pieces!
The next second, there was a loud bang outside the door, and two burly men broke the door open. Holding steel knives, they ran side by side towards the stairwell frantically. Then Paba's terrified scream came from the door.
"What are you doing!! What do you want to do?? If you have something to say, just talk it over nicely!"
Before Fang Zhengyi could react, Zhang Biao and Zhou Tie had already pulled Paba back from the stairwell and put two crossed knives on his neck.
Zhang Biao kicked Paba's knee hard, and Paba fell to his knees in front of Fang Zhengyi with a thud.
Zhou Tie sneered: "With your old bones, you want to run away after offending the master?"
Paba knelt on the ground tremblingly, looked at Fang Zheng eagerly and swallowed his saliva.
"Brother Fang...Brother Fang, if the net is broken and the fish is dead, no one will have a good ending. I advise you to be rational."
Fang Zheng felt his scalp tingling when he saw Paba kneeling in front of him with a confused look on his face, and he swallowed his saliva.
"Master...it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. What the hell are you two doing? Let him go!" Fang Zhengyi stepped forward with a gloomy face and helped Paba up, brushing the dust off his pants.
Now my life is in their hands. I was forced to kneel down just after the breakup. How can we talk about it later? Do you want me to live?
Paba was made into a miserable mess, his eyes and nose became crooked due to anger. If he had hair, it would have exploded on the spot.
"Three days. I only give you three days. Brother Fang, you'd better take the initiative. Don't say I didn't warn you." Paba pointed at Fang Zheng's nose and warned him, panting, trying to save some face.
Fang Zheng laughed dryly and said, "I see.. Please take care. I am a very generous person."
"Hmph!" Paba flicked his sleeves fiercely and turned away again.
Fang Zhengyi hurried forward, leaned against the door and watched Paba leave completely, then he heaved a sigh of relief.
He turned around and yelled at Zhou Tie and Zhang Biao, "You two idiots! You almost killed everyone. Can't he see that he is the Imperial Master?"
Fortunately, Paba is not petty, otherwise who knows what might have gone wrong.
"Who knew he was the national teacher? When he ran in a hurry, all I saw was a bald head. It was you who said he ran fast..." Zhou Tie whispered.
"What did you say?!"
"Nothing, sir, why did you confront him?"
After Zhou Tie asked this, Fang Zhengyi felt melancholy again. He raised his hand weakly and said, "Close the door and talk."
After closing the door, Fang Zhengyi sat at the table and lamented for a while before saying, "It's over. We've been tricked. There's no trade at all. This is a trap. Jin and Dajing are preparing to go to war. They tricked me here just to help them build a hot air balloon. What should I do..."
Zhou Tie was stunned and stuttered: "Is this... true?"
Fang Zhengyi reluctantly repeated what Paba said, and then said, "Tell me what you think. You still have three days to think about it."
"I have an idea." Zhang Biao lifted his coat, revealing a small arsenal, and said, "I have needles and dyes here. How about re-tattooing the words on your back?"
"Shut up, why the hell do you carry dye?"
"To pretend vomiting blood or being poisoned."
Zhou Tie had been frowning, and suddenly he said, "Master, you should have brought a map with you before you came out, right? I want to take a look."
"Okay." Fang Zhengyi hurried to get the map.
After the map was spread out on the table, Zhou Tie put his hands on it and began to observe it carefully.
After thinking for a long time, he relaxed his brows and pointed to one of the places in the picture and said, "Look, sir, this is Liuhe Pass..."
