Everyone around was holding their breath and concentrating. When their former colleagues saw that Nan Zhi was no longer what he used to be, they all lowered their heads in silence.
King Lu Cheng looked deeply at Nan Zhi. After a long time, he waved away the beauty in his arms and said calmly, "Go and invite Yue Ji to the palace."
Nan Zhi then brushed his sleeves and took a seat.
Ji Yunyuan tilted his head and said to He Mucheng, "This Nan Zhi, when he came to Lucheng, the first thing he did was to save his legitimate daughter. It seems that he is not completely unconscionable."
He Mucheng curled his lips and responded with a low voice, "Why does he want to save Nan Yue? He just wants to find a reason to break up with Lu Cheng."
After Nan Zhi took his seat, he didn't say anything. He didn't say anything, and there was no sound around him. Everyone just waited until an hour later, Nan Yue slowly arrived wearing a gorgeous dress.
She bowed respectfully to the high platform and said, "I have met the prince."
He Mucheng could clearly see that Nanyue had been released from captivity for a long time. Her hair was still wet and looked like it had just been washed. Although her skin was still fair, the whiteness looked like it had been for a long time.
Pale without seeing the sun.
As she kowtowed, horrifying blue and purple scars were revealed on her wrists. Those scars were old and new, intertwined together, and it was shocking!
Nan Zhi was also polite, "I don't dare. General Zu Ti passed away due to illness. In the small city of Lu, the banquet is even more luxurious than in Jiankang. Doesn't the King of Lu City think there is something wrong?"
Nan Zhi sneered, "Maybe the root cause of the disease was caused by the previous famine."
She slowly calmed down her breathing and cupped her hands to Nan Zhi, "General Ji is only responsible for the construction of the Hulao City barrier. Everything else requires the governor of Yanzhou to worry about."
"Mother?" Nan Yue murmured and opened her mouth, "Mother... mother..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Nan Zhi saw displeasure on his face. He waved his hand and said, "Since your life is not going well, just let your mother go home. You don't have to stay in the Lucheng Palace."
"The governor of Yanzhou, what a powerful official!" He sneered, showing disdain.
Nan Zhi's words seemed to be well planned, but in fact they brought the war between him and the King of Lucheng to Ji Yunyuan. He Mucheng was watching the fun and excitement when he unexpectedly heard that Ji Yunyuan was dragged into the water.
, he was grabbed by the drink for a moment, and his little face turned red from coughing.
Seeing that Nan Zhi and Ji Yunyuan were not of the same mind, the King of Lucheng laughed and said, "Yanzhou Governor, does Wuchang County Duke know about your trip?"
Huh? Moved out of Wangdun?
That's right, it was Nan Zhi's job to bring the woman who was similar to Bei Zhi to Jiankang and secretly assassinate Sima Shao. But instead of completing it, he not only failed to complete it, but also let the woman's identity be exposed in exchange for his own career. Wang
If Atsushi knew about it, how could he spare him lightly?
But Nan Zhi looked relaxed, "The Duke of Wuchang is loyal to the Jin Dynasty, and I am loyal to the Duke of Wuchang. If there is someone who does not seek his position in his position, I am willing to replace him."
Humph! If you want to use Ji Yunyuan as a shield, there is no way!
King Lu Cheng looked at everything just now with cold eyes, and made two sudden sounds with his fat palms in the hall.
He Mucheng and Ji Yunyuan looked at each other, raised their eyebrows and smiled.
"I sent you to the Lucheng Palace, how are you doing?" Nan Zhi finally spoke.
Ji Yunyuan gently picked her up, patted her back, and chuckled, "Are you okay?"
King Lucheng waved his hand, smiled evilly, and retorted, "Zu Ti died of illness, was it me, Lucheng, who caused him to die? Was it me, King Lucheng, who made him die of illness?"
Nanyue seemed to be a little confused due to being tortured. She heard a familiar voice and was just looking for the source of the voice in a daze.
"My daughter!" A selfish cry came from the screen behind Nan Zhi.
He Mucheng caught the fire of revenge on Nan Yue's cold and spiteful face, just waiting to fall into the dry wood of a long drought and burn all those who had humiliated him.
"It's not that you were untimely, it was that you never provided assistance from the beginning to the end. You locked the gates of Lu City and refused to send troops. As a result, Yuzhou was repeatedly coveted by Zhao. Even Xianbei wanted a piece of the pie, but I watched.
, King Lucheng doesn’t seem to have any regrets?”
"How are you doing?" Nan Yue spent a lot of effort before she slowly calmed down. She smiled coldly and said resentfully, "How am I doing? Can't my father see it?"
This voice was very familiar to He Mucheng. It was Nan Yue's mother and Nan Zhi's wife. When she was kidnapped by Murong Ke, she also used this kind of crying voice to reveal to the public the secret that Ji Yunyuan tried so hard to hide.
.
"I am the father-in-law of Lu City. I protect the safety of the people of Lu City and do my duty. What's wrong with that?" The king of Lu City raised his eyebrows. "Now that Lu City is safe, the governor of Yanzhou is just sitting back and enjoying the success. Isn't he satisfied?"
The sobbing gradually stopped, and the surroundings became quiet again.
She raised her little face and whispered to Ji Yunyuan, "This Nan Zhi is very good at dealing with power. I used to underestimate him."
Wang Xuan, that was the bright moon that Nanyue longed for and could not reach. Now this bright moon is within her reach, leaving her covered with filth with nowhere to hide.
He Mucheng glanced around and saw that most of the men in the hall, whether they were young or over fifty, their eyes began to dodge. She lowered her head and approached Ji Yunyuan's ear, reminding her, "Those who have a guilty conscience are all Lu."
As a close associate of the city king, it seems that Nan Zhi still has some tricks up his sleeve."
Just when she saw Nan Zhi's figure, she suddenly lost her composure and stared at Nan Zhi with her eyes full.
All attention shifted to her side.
It seemed that she had been suppressing it for a long time, and in the end, she could no longer cry out in her throat, and the hatred she felt towards Nan Zhi just now was replaced by all kinds of grievances.
Nan Yue hurriedly lowered her head, letting her black hair cover her cheeks, as if she could avoid being noticed by him.
However, when her scarlet eyes fell on the white-clothed figure of Sheng Xue, a touch of tenderness disappeared in an instant.
"The king of Lu City is in a corner, but I am different. My jurisdiction is far more than just one Lu city. The foundation of the Jin Dynasty is not yet stable. It is normal for cities to protect and assist each other, just like Yuzhou today.
General Zu Ti died of illness, and the fortress of Hulao City has not yet been built. If the Zhao State sends troops to occupy Yuzhou, at that time, will Lu City be able to survive alone?"
Why not? He says things that are loyal to Wang Dun but does ambiguous things. No matter which side Wang Dun or Sima Shao wins in the future, he will be able to justify himself. He is simply an old fox!
I think back then, He Musheng had studied the theory of Houhei several times. The method of sawing arrows was a great wisdom. I was only responsible for building the barrier. As for resisting the barbarians inside, that was not my job!
As soon as these words came out, the question was thrown out again. Seeing Ji Yunyuan's ambiguous attitude, Nan Zhi had no choice but to grit his teeth angrily.
Slowly, Nanyue stood up. With small steps, she quickly disappeared behind the screen.
However, the crying at that time was intentional, but this time, she was really distressed to the extreme.
King Lu Cheng threw the wine bottle in his hand and said with a dark expression, "Does the governor of Yanzhou mean to blame me for not providing timely assistance?"
"Raise your head." Nan Zhi spoke before King Lu Cheng spoke.
Nan Yue finally realized something was wrong. She raised her head and began to look at Nan Zhi again. She saw that he was wearing an official uniform and was solemn and solemn. Then she suddenly realized that her father had succeeded!
Like a poisonous python trapped in a quagmire, once freed from its constraints, it will never be grateful for its hard-won freedom.
The two of them kept talking to each other until the banquet was over, but they couldn't tell the winner. However, Nan Zhi's verbal battle made the staff who were originally loyal to King Lu Cheng very impressed. When they left King Lu Cheng's palace, they all
Surprisingly, he was very pleased with Nan Zhi's appearance.
However, before everyone dispersed, someone came to report on horseback, "Oh no, Yanzhou has fallen! The Zhao army is already on the verge of twenty miles outside Hulao City. Yuzhou... is in danger!"
Huh? The jurisdiction was lost just after taking office?
He Mucheng looked at Ji Yunyuan with wide eyes and saw his solemn expression. Just as he was about to ask, Nan Zhi, who had already walked away, turned around and came towards Ji Yunyuan in a hurry.
