Chapter 501

Three days later.

Ouyang Lixing, who is recuperating in Juhe City, suddenly received a message.

No, ready to say, wait for someone to come.

Hong Tianji.

He knows and knows this person very well. He knows that this person is a royal Minister of the Zhu Yan empire. He usually goes out in person to convey the Royal will.

The arrival of Hong Tianji made Ouyang's heart sink. Vaguely, a bad hunch appeared.

Therefore, when his subordinates informed Hong Tianji that he had come to Juhe City, Ouyang's first reaction was to avoid seeing him and let the envoy Zhu Yan who had been in his army deal with it first.

After this period of time, the messenger also probably understood Ouyang's hardship and agreed with Ouyang's practice at this time. He was successfully persuaded by Ouyang's practice and considered the problem from his position.

As a result, he managed to settle the envoy, and another special envoy such as Hong Tianji came.

Ouyang knows what he's doing here.

But how can you hide?

He was in Juhe city. Hong Tianji only had to rely on a decree to let his messenger have nothing to say and had to report to Ouyang.

The final result was that Ouyang could only personally receive the special envoy from afar in the assembly hall of the city master's house.

In the assembly hall.

On the spot, there were only Ouyang Lixing and Hong Tianji, but neither of them was in a hurry to speak, just burying their heads and silently tasting tea.

Until that cup of tea almost came to an end and looked like a master like Hong Tianji, he put down the cup, breathed softly and said with a smile, "good tea."

"Yes."

Ouyang nodded sternly. He also put down the tea cup in his hand and answered the sentence without salt.

"Yes!"

Hong Tianji finally looked up, looked at Ouyang's hard work and said seriously, "Mr. Ouyang, I haven't congratulated you on making such great contributions to the Empire!"

Although Ouyang Lixing is a general soldier, he is a military general. But most people who know him well will call him Mr. Ouyang, and he himself prefers this name.

But obviously, it's far from easy for him to feel better just by saying Mr. right now. Therefore, Ouyang's strict execution still replied: "share your worries for the Empire and don't dare to take credit!"

"This..."

Hong Tianji smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Ouyang is still that Mr. Ouyang. It seems that Mr. Ouyang has fully understood the purpose of coming this time?"

"Don't talk about this first!"

Ouyang waved fiercely, interrupted Hong Tianji's words, and only asked, "you should come from Fengyan City, so I ask you, when will Fengyan city send reinforcements here?"

"This..."

Hong Tianji was dumb. This is another question he can't answer. After pondering for a moment, he shook his head and sighed: "Mr. Ouyang doesn't know. Because of the changes here in Nantes Province, your majesty, he has worked hard for this matter for a long time."

"You know, because there are changes in most of China's borders in a Nantes Province, your majesty really has to guard against it, and Mr. Ouyang is in charge here, so your majesty is more relieved and can free up his hands to solve the potential crises in the periphery first."

"Speaking of this..."

Hong Tianji, with a positive complexion, suddenly got up and made a solemn bow to Ouyang. He didn't get up until a long time later.

Ouyang did not move, but calmly received his gift. When Hong Tianji straightened up, he asked, "what does Mr. Hong mean by this?"

Hong Tianji smiled bitterly. Ouyang would not know what he meant?

If you don't know, what is he doing with this gift?

I didn't dare to say the bad things in my heart, but solemnly said: "the gift just now is a gift given by the old man to Mr. Ouyang for his majesty, which was specially instructed by his majesty before the old man came to live in the city to thank Mr. Ouyang for his contribution to keeping Nantes Province!"

The words were so sincere that Hong Tianji even bowed his hand to Ouyang and said, "Mr. Ouyang can really afford this gift!"

Ouyang sighed and said, "so?"

"Mr. Hong, did you come all the way to do this for your majesty?"

"You haven't answered me yet. Where are the reinforcements?"

Ouyang's strict action is not stupid. He will not soften his heart because of the other party's sincere words. For him, the most important thing is how to solve the current trouble. Moreover, he is not ready to let Hong Tianji speak in front of him. Therefore, he has been biting the word "reinforcements".

"This..."

Hong Tianji only smiled bitterly. This is his third "this" today. To be honest, when he heard that he would be sent to Nantes province to find Ouyang to do it, Hong Tianji originally refused.

No one knows Ouyang's strict execution better than him. At the same time, he also knows that Ouyang's strict execution is difficult to deal with. Do you want to persuade him to change his mind?

This is an almost impossible task.

But for the sake of the Empire, frankly, he could not disobey His Majesty's will. Hong Tianji had to go this trip.

Sure enough, in the first conversation between the two, he was already at a disadvantage. For a time, he was asked by Ouyang.

It's no wonder that he, indeed, the empire is unjustifiable this time!

As the saying goes, if you are not straight, you will not be strong. Hong Tianji came with a guilty conscience. In the face of Ouyang's question, he really had nothing to say.

After hesitating again and again, Hong Tianji still had to harden his head and turn off the topic. He said weakly, "Mr. Ouyang, do you know that the rest of Qingyang is building fortifications in Xilong city?"

Ouyang took a stern look at him and said, "of course I know."

As commander-in-chief of the whole army, his first priority is naturally to ensure the smooth flow of information. As early as two days ago, scouts returned to him. Chen Ze and others led nearly one million troops to stop after retreating to Xilong city. It is obvious that they are building fortifications destroyed by the burning of Xilong City.

They are so blatant and obvious that they can see it as long as they are not blind.

How can Ouyang be unaware of this?

And he knows another thing better.

That is, after Chen Ze and others stationed in Xilong City, although it doesn't matter to him, someone will be unable to sit down and come to him at this time.

So Hong Tianji came.

Therefore, Ouyang acted vigorously and wanted to drive him out.

However, due to the identity of the other party, Ouyang's strict execution can't do so, or even avoid it.

Now, Hong Tianji finally mentioned this problem. Ouyang's strict implementation seems to be calm, but in fact he is bored and has no good airway immediately:

"If they want to stay in Xilong City, let them stay!"
