Then he said,
"The imperial envoy has arrived in Haizhou and entered the Great Wu. The Peak Master orders you to make preparations. After two days, when the matter here is settled, you will go to Yangzhou to take charge of the peace talks!"
Wang Ziteng was slightly stunned when he heard this, and a thousand alpaca horses galloped through his mind.
The imperial envoy from the court has arrived?
Wang Ziteng knew without hesitation that the imperial envoy from the court must have come with the intention of pacifying Qingfeng Village.
However, the news from the court was most likely from the time when Qingfengzhai was entrenched in Yangzhou.
Now that so many days have passed, Qingfeng Village has become Da Wu.
Although he was busy in Jinling, countless cavalrymen rode into the city every day to report victory. It would not be long before the entire Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui regions fell into the hands of the Great Wu.
Moreover, looking at the momentum of Qingfeng Village, they will definitely not be satisfied with just a few states and provinces. When the imperial envoy of the court comes, can the previous conditions still pacify the current Great Wu?
Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly recalled what Aunt Hua had said.
What Aunt Hua just said was that the court was trying to appease him and let him be responsible for the peace talks?
Wang Ziteng, who was very thoughtful, understood Da Wu's intention almost instantly.
He must have wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to negotiate with the imperial envoy of the court to greatly expand his own strength.
Accepting the imperial court's offer of amnesty was a lie.
Letting him go will allow him to use his understanding of the court to distract the attention of the imperial envoy and the court behind him, thus buying more time for Qingfeng Village!
The most important thing is that after the Great Wu stops its expansion, it must conduct certain peace talks with the imperial court.
This will give Da Wu ample time to digest the territory he has gained in recent days.
Thinking of this, Wang Ziteng instinctively wanted to refuse. After all, not long ago, he was the general of the imperial court in Nanjing.
But now he has to go as an envoy of the Great Wu to negotiate with the Great Qian court, to which he has been loyal for most of his life?
But soon Wang Ziteng also realized the importance of this opportunity for peace talks to him and the entire Wang family!
If they could achieve great success in this matter, then the Wang family would be rich and prosperous for at least several decades in the future as long as Da Wu was still around.
Thinking of this, Wang Ziteng quickly made up his mind.
He bowed solemnly to Aunt Hua.
"Yes, I obey!"
"Please also tell the Peak Master, Master Hua, that I will complete the mission!"
It is said that encountering an unexpected event can change a person the fastest. In just a few days, Wang Ziteng was able to say the words that Li Qingfeng's subordinates often said without any hesitation.
After hearing what Wang Ziteng said, Aunt Hua couldn't help but look at Wang Ziteng again.
Just as the Peak Master said, this Wang Ziteng is a smart man!
Then he nodded and said,
"Don't worry, Lord Wang, I will definitely convey it!"
"Three days from now at noon, Kang Wuwei, the acting deputy commander of the First Legion, will arrive with his guards and travel to Yangzhou with you!"
After a brief thought, Wang Ziteng realized that Kang Wuwei was most likely someone arranged by Li Qingfeng to monitor him.
However, he was not dissatisfied with this. After all, he had just joined Li Qingfeng's team, and trust would take time.
If Qingfeng Li hadn't arranged for someone to monitor him, he would have been terrified.
He smiled and saluted to Aunt Hua.
"Thank you, Master Hua. It's time for dinner now. Why don't you have dinner in my humble abode and then go back?"
Aunt Hua shook her head slightly.
"No need, I still have a mission to complete, so I can't stay for long!"
After saying that, Aunt Hua turned around and said goodbye.
Wang Ziteng sent Nanny Hua directly to the gate, watched her carriage go away, and then turned back home.
……
Not long after, Jia Yucun also received orders from Li Qingfeng.
For Jia Yucun, firstly, he did not have the reputation and status of Wang Ziteng, and secondly, he did not have a beautiful daughter.
He knew why Qingfeng Li accepted him.
His only strength is doing things for Qingfeng Li that he is now unwilling to dirty his hands with.
Even if others hated him too much, as long as he was still useful to Qingfeng Li, he would not fall out of favor.
So during these days, he was ruthless towards those families that did not cooperate.
Sure enough, Qingfeng Li's order today made him even more convinced of this.
Now he is almost tied to Da Wu. As long as Da Wu is alive, and Li Qingfeng protects him, he will have a chance to survive.
The world is so big, there are still many places where Qingfeng Li can use him!
He was overjoyed and immediately ordered people to prepare things for him and get ready for departure.
……
at the same time,
Jia Zheng and his imperial envoys were still halfway to Yangzhou.
Since the grand court meeting that day, Shenjing has not received any urgent news from Nanjing.
This caused many people to have a bad feeling.
This caused undercurrents to surge in the capital.
However, the Rongguo Mansion seemed unusually peaceful because Jia Zheng was appointed as the imperial envoy to pacify the people.
After Jia Zheng left the capital, Grandmother Jia also went to Lady Wang's small Buddhist temple every day, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law prayed to the Buddha statue every day.
In Hibiscus Courtyard, Lin Daiyu and her sisters Sanchun still interacted with each other as before, and became more and more intimate with each other.
Whenever Tanchun was worried about her father Jia Zheng, she would speak to comfort him.
In the front yard, Jia Baoyu still couldn't get off the boat. His temper became more and more irritable every day. He couldn't accept that he was no longer a man and couldn't get out of bed.
Until this day, two people suddenly appeared outside the gate of Rongguo Mansion.
