Chapter 98 Meeting Ding Yao
Five days later, indeed, there were smart people from the three major forces who came to visit Li Yuan.
And he’s from Zhongyi Hall!
The person who came to meet Li Yuan was a woman named Ding Yao.
This woman is quite strategic and is a famous and talented woman among the younger generation of Zhongyi Hall.
Originally, she and Zhao Shanhe were in love, but she didn't expect that Zhao Shanhe died, and she came to Lingyang Mansion with a desire for revenge.
After she learned that King Chu had revealed this news, she seemed to realize that King Chu could not have sent Lei Yunfei to Huiyang County.
After all, if King Chu really wanted to send Lei Yunfei there, it would be impossible to send out this news.
Then there is only one truth!
The King of Chu wants to send other county guards there!
Ding Yao informed Cheng Haonan of the results of his guess. Cheng Haonan already hated Chu Qingyan deeply because of the deaths of Zhao Shanhe and Tian Er. In order to deal with Chu Qingyan as soon as possible, he immediately sent Ding Yao here.
The King of Chu did not choose Lei Yunfei, leaving only three county guards to choose from.
Then why can't it be Wu Zhixiong!
Ding Yao sat on the carriage and glanced at the carriage pulling heavy objects behind her. There were three carriages pulling over.
She believes that anything that can be discussed can be discussed. If the agreement cannot be reached, then the weight is not strong enough.
In the courtyard, Li Yuan met Ding Yao.
"Meet His Highness the King of Chu."
There was a leak in the front of Ding Yao's clothes. If she leaned slightly, Li Yuan could see a murder weapon on her chest.
Li Yuan didn't squint his eyes, his handsome face was full of indifference, and he said coldly:
"Zhongyi Hall Ding Yao?"
"What are you here for?"
Ding Yao saw Li Yuan's indifferent expression and secretly complained in her heart. She didn't know who was from the Ximen family or the Lieyan Sect who thought of pretending to be the King of Chu to damage the reputation of the King of Chu.
King Chu must not have a good look on them now.
If he hadn't knocked on the door with one hundred thousand taels of gold, King Chu might not have even let her in.
Ding Yao showed a soft smile on her face:
"Your Highness, the little girl was specially sent by Commander Wu to visit Your Highness."
"Wu Zhixiong?"
Li Yuan frowned and silently recited Wu Zhixiong's name.
"What did he send you for?"
Ding Yao said humbly and respectfully:
"Master Wu learned that His Highness has been worried about the governance of Huiyang County. He admires His Highness for still paying attention to Huiyang County despite his busy schedule. As a minister of His Highness, he should share his worries. In order to reassure His Highness and for the people of Huiyang County, Master Wu, He is willing to go to Huiyang County to temporarily replace Mr. Lu in governing Huiyang County."
Li Yuan's frown deepened, but his tone slowed down:
"Master Wu is interested. I really want to send a county guard to Huiyang County temporarily. However, considering that each county guard still needs to be in charge of his own county, I don't want to trouble the county guards.
The former lord of Lingyang Palace, Bo Linchanghai, was a good talent, and I planned to let him temporarily take over the post of governor of Huiyang County. "
Ding Yao's eyes narrowed, but her expression did not change, and she said calmly:
"Master Wu is very loyal to His Highness. In addition to letting the little girl visit His Highness, he also brought a batch of local specialties to honor His Highness."
"A batch of souvenirs?"
Li Yuan's expression obviously changed, but he quickly put on airs and returned to his indifferent expression:
"You want to use these to test me?"
"Your Highness, please don't misunderstand me. Lord Wu respects Your Highness very much and has absolutely no other intentions."
Ding Yao noticed the change in Li Yuan's eyes, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and carefully stretched out five fingers, and each finger was wearing gold jewelry.
It means five hundred thousand taels of gold!
"hiss!"
Li Yuan's pupils dilated and he could no longer hide his greedy look.
"Your Highness, this batch of local products has stayed outside the courtyard."
When Ding Yao saw Li Yuan's expression, she felt calm and smiled slightly.
"Ahem, come on, let's go and count the local specialties sent by Commander Wu outside the courtyard,"
Li Yuan called two personal guards and asked them to count the local products.
"yes!"
After the two guards went down to take stock, Li Yuan's cold expression disappeared instantly, and his face was as bright as a spring breeze:
"Miss Ding, Commander Wu is loyal to me. I see it and take the initiative to share my worries. I am very touched. You can tell Commander Wu when you go back. I will accept Commander Wu's wishes. As for him going to Hui I will reconsider the matter regarding Yang County."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Ding Yao said gratefully.
"However, I have a request."
Li Yuan's face became cooler.
"Your Highness, please speak."
"Some time ago, someone pretended to be my identity and slandered my reputation. I wonder if Commander Wu can help me check it out!"
There was a faint murderous intent in Li Yuan's eyes, expressing his inner anger.
Ding Yao's heart trembled, and she immediately said seriously:
"Don't worry, Your Highness, we will strictly investigate and find out who is behind this."
"very good."
…………
After Ding Yao resigned, Jia Xu slowly walked out of the back hall.
Li Yuan's expression returned to calm at this moment, and his eyes became dim:
"Wen He, do you think Chu Qingyan will intercept and kill Wu Zhixiong on the way?"
After hearing this, Jia Xu thought for a while, shook his head and said:
"Your Highness, it only comes down to three things. Chu Qingyan has already ambushed him once. The three major forces will definitely take precautions. They may even deliberately set traps and ambush on the road.
Chu Qingyan should have been able to guess, so she would not go to intercept Wu Zhixiong. "
"Wen He, do you think Wu Zhixiong guessed that Chu Qingyan didn't dare to come to intercept, so he went there in a big way, instead of wasting time setting up a trap waiting for Chu Qingyan to come to intercept?"
Jia Xu narrowed his eyes, and he seemed to have guessed what Li Yuan was thinking.
Li Yuan took two steps, looked up at the blue sky, and said slowly:
"Wu Zhixiong knew that he was going to Huiyang County, so he would not leave a backup force in Lianyang County."
Li Yuan stopped and his tone did not waver at all:
"But if he dies, it will be useless even if he leaves any backup plans."
Jia Xu nodded and said with a smile: "The woman just now looked very humble, but she was very arrogant inside. The more arrogant a person is, the more they will believe in their own judgment!"
Li Yuan opened his eyes, revealing a faint murderous intent:
"Then kill!"
"Wen He, take my king's token and go to meet up with Chengdu!"
Li Yuan handed his personal token to Jia Xu.
After Jia Xu took the token, his expression was solemn:
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely complete Your Highness's mission!"
Li Yuan's eyes became firmer and firmer when he saw Jia Xu leaving.
Yuwen Chengdu has broken through the Grandmaster level, and with his strength, the Grandmaster is invincible.
Jia Xu is also at the Grandmaster level. With Jia Xu's methods and Yuwen Chengdu's cooperation, it is not easy to just kill one person.
If you can solve the problem with simple means, don't make it so complicated.
Be fast and accurate.
………………
"Your Highness, is there anyone outside the court who wants to see you?" The guard outside the door came to report.
"who?"
Li Yuan expressed doubts, could someone send money again?
"Report to Your Highness, this person is from Yueyang County."
"Yueyang County?" Li Yuan's eyes lit up and he ordered:
"Let him in!"
After a while, the staff sent by Lei Yunfei cautiously stepped into the lobby and met Li Yuan's indifferent expression.
"Who are you?"
