The Era of Generals

Chapter 501 Feng Yan Comes

three days later.

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

No, those who were prepared said that someone was waiting.

Hong Tianji.

He knew this person, and was very familiar with him. He knew that this person was a royal servant of the Zhu Yan Empire, and he would usually go out in person to convey the royal family's orders.

The arrival of Hong Tianji made Ouyang Lixing's heart sink, and there was already a bad premonition.

Therefore, when his subordinates notified Hong Tianji to come to Juhe City, Ouyang Lixing'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 getting along for this period of time, the messenger also roughly understood Ouyang Lixing's difficulties, and also agreed with Ouyang Lixing's actions at this time. He was successfully persuaded by Ouyang Lixing and considered the issue from his standpoint.

In the end, he managed to deal with the envoy with great difficulty, and another special envoy like Hong Tianji came.

Ouyang Lixing knew what he was doing here.

But how can you hide?

The others were in Juhe City, and Hong Tianji only had to rely on an imperial decree to make his envoy speechless, so he could only obediently report to Ouyang.

The final result was that in the end Ouyang Lixing could only personally receive the special envoy who came from afar in the council hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

Inside the chamber.

There were only Ouyang Lixing and Hong Tianji on the spot, but they were not in a hurry to speak, but they were just sipping tea silently with their heads buried.

It wasn't until the cup of tea was almost bottomed out that Hong Tianji, who looked like a master, put down the teacup, exhaled lightly, and said with a smile: "Good tea."

"It's not bad."

Ouyang nodded vigorously, and also put down the teacup in his hand, and responded in a neutral manner.

"correct!"

Hong Tianji finally raised his head, looked at Ouyang Lixing, and said seriously: "Mr. Ouyang, I haven't congratulated you for making such a great contribution to the empire!"

Although Ouyang Lixing is the commander-in-chief, he is a military commander, but most of the people who know him will call him Mr. Ouyang, and he himself prefers this title.

But obviously, the current matter is far from being able to make him feel better just by saying sir, so Ouyang Lixing still responded flatly: "Sharing the worries of the empire, I dare not take credit for it!"

"this……"

Hong Tianji smiled wryly, and said: "Mr. Ouyang is still the same Mr. Ouyang. It seems that you have fully understood the purpose of your visit this time, right?"

"Let's not talk about this!"

But Ouyang Lixing waved his hand violently, interrupted Hong Tianji's words, and only asked: "You should come from Fengyan City, so let me ask you, when will Fengyan City send reinforcements here?"

"this……"

Hong Tianji was dumb, this was another question he couldn't answer, and after pondering for a while, he shook his head and sighed: "Mr. Ouyang doesn't know something, because of the changes here in Nantes Province, His Majesty has really been thinking about it for a while. , worked hard on this matter for a long time.”

"You have to know, because in the province of Nantes, most of the borders of our country are currently undergoing changes, His Majesty really has to guard against it, and here in the province of Nantes, there is Mr. Ouyang in charge, so His Majesty is more at ease and can spare time. Take action to solve the potential crises on the periphery first."

"Speaking of which..."

Hong Tianji straightened his face, got up suddenly, bowed solemnly to Ouyang Lixing, and only got up after a long time.

Ouyang Li Xing did not move, and accepted his gift calmly, but when Hong Tianji straightened up, he asked again: "What is Mr. Hong's intention?"

Hong Tianji smiled wryly in his heart, Ouyang Lixing would not know what he meant?

If you don't know, what is he receiving this ceremony for?

He didn't dare to speak out what was in his heart, but he said solemnly: "The salute just now is the salute that the old man gave to Mr. Ouyang on behalf of His Majesty. This is also what His Majesty specially ordered before the old man came to live in Hecheng, as a token of gratitude. Mr. Ouyang's contribution to preserving the province of Nantes!"

These words were so sincere that Hong Tianji even bowed his hands to Ouyang and said: "Mr. Ouyang really deserves this gift!"

Ouyang Lixing sighed and said, "So?"

"Mr. Hong, you came all the way, is it possible that you are doing this ceremony for His Majesty?"

"You haven't answered me yet, where are the reinforcements?"

Ouyang Lixing is not stupid, and he will not soften his heart just because the other party's words are sincere. For him, the most important thing is how to solve the current troubles, and he is not going to let Hong Tianji speak before him, so He has been biting the word reinforcements.

"this……"

Hong Tianji could only smile wryly again, this is his third "this" today, to be honest, when he heard that he would be sent to Nantes province to find Ouyang Lixing, Hong Tianji originally refused.

No one knows Ouyang Lixing better than him, and he also knows that Ouyang Lixing is difficult to deal with. Want to persuade him to change his mind?

This is simply an almost impossible task.

But for the sake of the empire, to put it bluntly, it is impossible to disobey His Majesty's will, so Hong Tianji had no choice but to bite the bullet and take this trip.

Sure enough, in the first conversation between the two of them, he was already at a disadvantage, and was silenced by Ouyang Lixing's question for a while.

It's no wonder he, really, the empire is at a loss this time!

As the saying goes, if you are not right, you will not be strong. Hong Tianji came here with a guilty conscience, and he really had nothing to say to Ouyang Lixing's question.

After hesitating again and again, Hong Tianji could only bite the bullet and change the topic, and said weakly: "Mr. Ouyang, does Mr. Ouyang know that the rest of Qingyang is currently building fortifications in Xilong City?"

Ouyang Lixing glanced at him slightly, and said, "Of course I know this."

As the commander-in-chief of the entire army, his first priority is naturally to ensure the smooth flow of information. As early as two days ago, scouts had reported to him. Chen Ze and others led nearly a million troops. After retreating to Xilong City, they immediately They stopped, and it was obvious that they were building the burnt fortifications of Xilong City.

Their cultivation is so grandiose and so obvious that anyone who is not blind can definitely see it.

How could Ouyang Lixing not know about this?

And he knew another thing better.

That is, after Chen Ze and others were stationed in Xilong City, although it didn't matter to him, there would definitely be people who couldn't sit still and came to him at such a time.

So, Hong Tianji came.

Therefore, Ouyang Lixing really wanted to drive him out.

But due to the identity of the other party, Ouyang Lixing couldn't do this, and he couldn't even avoid seeing him.

But now, Hong Tianji finally mentioned this issue, Ouyang Lixing looked calm on the surface, but in fact he was very bored, and immediately said in a bad mood:

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