If this continues, Dong Zegang will really collapse.
Fortunately, after Yang Haoran returned, good news soon came from inside the Governor's Mansion.
"Lord Governor, those things are beginning to retreat rapidly."
Dong Zegang took a long breath and finally saw the effect.
He quickly cupped his fists and thanked Yang Haoran. Although he knew that it was Yang Haoran who had done this in the first place, he was still full of joy at this time.
After another half an hour, another staff member reported that all the snakes, insects, rats, ants and the like had receded.
Dong Zegang was overjoyed and finally dared to step into the Governor's Mansion again.
As I walked along, I couldn't bear to look directly at it.
Although the snakes, insects, rats and ants have receded, the Governor's Mansion has become a mess.
But compared to previous pest infestations, this is undoubtedly good news.
A large number of staff entered the Governor's Mansion and began the intense and busy cleaning work.
Lin Feng snorted coldly at this time: "Mr. Governor, shouldn't you keep your promise?"
Dong Zegang's body trembled and he nodded quickly.
"I will go with you two to the Northwest Army to confront Huo Guoxiong."
In fact, Dong Zegang had informed Huo Guoxiong of the news before this.
Although Huo Guoxiong was surprised, he did not blame Dong Zegang.
After all, Dong Zegang had no choice but to do so, and sooner or later, this matter would fall on the Northwest Army.
It's just that the time is much earlier than the original plan.
Within the Northwest Military Region, Marshal Liu Shuacheng walked into a hall with his hands behind his back.
This was originally a large warehouse and was cleared out not long ago.
What is now in full bloom inside are all the treasures of the Thousand Buddhas Cave that were seized from the Monterigo merchant ship.
Huo Guoxiong followed Liu Shuacheng, looking cautious.
"Commander, Dong Zegang is bringing Lin Feng here. How do you think we should respond?"
Liu Shuai is a tall man, just over fifty years old, with bright eyes.
When ordinary people reach his age, their energy has begun to decline.
But for a master of Huajin who has already broken through, this is the stage where he is at his strongest.
"When the thing is in my hands, he still wants to take it back? Do I still want to lose face?
Moreover, these things originally belong to our Northwest Province, and it is natural for them to stay in the Northwest."
Huo Guoxiong didn't dare to refute. You have the final say as a senior official.
However, he still asked out of curiosity: "Commander, why do you attach so much importance to these things and even hesitate to offend the Southwest Army?
Is it worth it?”
Liu Shuacheng chuckled: "The fact that you can ask such a question shows that you don't understand the origin of these things at all.
If you understand the origin and history of these things, you will understand what I mean."
While talking, Liu Shuacheng admired the things around him with a look of emotion on his face.
"These things are the rumored relics of Thousand Buddhas Cave, which is located in our northwest province.
Moreover, the loss of these national treasures back then was also inseparably related to the predecessor of the Northwest Army.
From a certain perspective, these things are also a shame for the Northwest Army.
If it falls into the hands of the Southwest Army, it is a good thing, but where is the face of our Northwest Army?
Rather than being ridiculed by the Chinese people in the future, it is better to just make the mistake and leave the matter alone.
After a while, wouldn’t it be a great thing for us to use the name of the Northwest Army to return all these things to the Thousand Buddhas Temple where the Thousand Buddhas Cave is located?”
At this time, Yang Haoran and others were on their way. 020 Reading
Naturally, they are also guessing Liu Shuacheng’s purpose.
As the commander-in-chief of a party, it is naturally impossible for him to do it for money.
However, Dong Zegang, as the governor of the Northwest Province, knew more about the history of the Northwest Province.
When Yang Haoran asked, he hesitated a little.
"Actually, I think Marshal Liu is doing this more for the sake of face."
Yang Haoran frowned: "What does this have to do with his face?"
Dong Zegang gave a wry smile and then roughly analyzed the reasons, which were not very different from the facts.
At the end, Dong Zegang said weakly: "Mr. Yang, do you think this will work?
When we meet Marshal Liu, I will be a stand-in.
Treat the items as sold to Marshal Liu, and the entire payment will be paid to you by the Northwest Army.
As for the price, you have the final say, do you think this is good?"
Yang Haoran's face sank: "What a fart, his face is face, isn't my face not face?
My belongings were seized for no reason, and I must be given an explanation."
Dong Zegang's face turned green and red, and he did not dare to continue talking.
But he sneered in his heart, trying to get these things from Liu Shuacheng, but it was not that easy.
Marshal Liu is not a good-tempered person.
In the Northwest Army barracks, Yang Haoran and Lin Feng, led by Dong Zegang, found Huo Guoxiong's office.
Because he had received the news in advance, Huo Guoxiong was not surprised.
When he saw a few people coming, he greeted them with a smile.
"General Lin has come a long way. If you miss me, please take a seat."
Lin Feng did not give him a good look and said straight to the point: "Huo Guoxiong, don't do this.
You know exactly what we are here to do, so please give us a clear answer.
Whether you want to return the things or have a fight, I’m here to help!”
The smell of gunpowder immediately became stronger. Dong Zegang was an official after all, so he stood aside and watched the changes.
Huo Guoxiong's face sank: "Lin Feng, don't forget that this is the Northwest Army's place, not your Southwest Army!"
Lin Feng was furious: "Huo Guoxiong, you old man, you obviously forcibly seized our things, but you still dare to threaten me.
Believe it or not, I will go directly to Kyoto to find a review by the Minister of War?"
Huo Guoxiong's expression changed slightly. If the Ministry of War really wanted to cause trouble, that was not what they wanted to see.
"Ye Feng, don't be so angry first.
The reason why we transported those goods to the Northwest Army was to protect the national treasure, and for no other reason.
Marshal Liu originally planned to return it to you, but suddenly he remembered that our two armies have not competed for almost years.
So I plan to take this opportunity to have a competition between the two armies.
This batch of goods is regarded as a prize for the competition. Of course, Marshal Liu is a reasonable person.
If you win, you take the goods away; if you lose, we will give you the payment for the goods and we will not let you suffer any loss."
"Bah, this is simply unreasonable!
These are basically two things, what do they mean if they are mixed together?
Return the things to us first, and we will discuss the contest between the two armies later. We, the Southwest Army, will accompany you until the end!"
Huo Guoxiong sneered: "Ye Feng, it goes without saying that you are so righteous, don't you dare?
If you don’t have the guts, forget it, you can discuss this matter with Marshal Liu!”
Ye Feng was about to get angry when Yang Haoran stopped him.
