Chapter 717

In just two days, sensational rumors came one after another.

No matter how authentic the rumors are, it is related to sensitive issues such as the Yellow Turban Treasure, Zhang Jiao's daughter Zhang Ning, Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Li Ru, and the loyalty of the Liangzhou soldiers, no one dares to take it lightly. The princes and the central courts of all parties focused their attention on the Sili area, trying to find corresponding clues from it and find out the authenticity of the rumors. As direct parties at the center of the storm, A Niu and Indigenous Dongzi naturally received key attention.

A Niu is a little better. Although it will attract a lot of people to think about it and many forces want to get a share of the so-called Yellow Turban treasure, those "enthusiastic people" who sharpen their knives in the dark are somewhat restrained. No one knows whether the treasure is just some people talking nonsense. Until it is confirmed that the Yellow Turban treasure is indeed true, no one will force the Lord Fengxiang City.

Invincible Dongzi was not so lucky. His situation was different. The news that Li Ru might have been hiding in Bo Gu City made Invincible Dongzi suddenly become a "star figure". Less than three days after the news came out, the ancient city of Bo Gu has a lot of friends. The Eastern Han Dynasty court, Wen Hou Lu Bu (personal), Cao Cao in Yanzhou, Yuan Shu in Nanyang, Wang Kuang in Hanoi, and Ma Teng in Liangzhou rushed to Invincible Dongzi's territory one after another. Even Yuan Shao, who was beaten extremely miserably by Gongsun Zan, was busy sending people to question the matter.

Li Ru was Dong Zhuo's most trusted strategist. He had prestige among Dong Zhuo's old subordinates. No one could deny that Dong Zhuo's old subordinates had strong combat power, which was a huge potential threat to the court and some princes. Wang Yun and Lu Bu took over the throne by killing Dong Zhuo. Cao Cao and Yuan Shu and others were once one of the eighteen princes who attacked Dong Zhuo. It is not difficult to understand that they are so concerned about this matter.

As the saying goes, "flies do not bite seamless eggs", not to mention that Li Ru's rumors in Bogu City were so vivid. At the beginning, the words and deeds of the court and princes from all sides in Bogu City were a bit irritable, suspicious and vigilant everywhere. They suspected that they saw everything in Bogu territory, and suspected that they heard every word in Bogu territory. They came to Bogu not to listen to Invincible Dongzi's explanation (the question was only part of it), nor did they ask Bogu to cooperate with the investigation. They intervened strongly in a condescending manner. They interrogated any suspicious object and searched any suspicious place!

This time, Invincible Dongzi has suffered eight lifetimes of trouble.

The normal order of Bogu City was completely disrupted, and the production and life in the territory were inevitably greatly affected, and the entire territory was in chaos. This was helpless. Li Ru was a powder keg that could never be touched. It was not abrupt for the court to carry out such actions. Unless Invincible Dongzi had the confidence to fight against the rise of the court and the princes, he had to continue to endure. Invincible Dongzi could not even refuse. Rejection means Invincible Dongzi had a ghost in his heart, which meant that Bogu did accommodate Li Ru. The rumors that Bogu and Dong Zhuo's old subordinates conspired to rebel.

The angels from Chang'an and the envoys sent by the princes always asked Independence Dongzi to answer some messy questions. They did not dare to be careless in their responsibilities, which was understandable, but the Independence Dongzi answered the same questions again and again, and Independence Dongzi wanted to die.

There was no longer a stable desk in the territory. Indi Dongzi once tried to run to the barracks of the Wuhu Army outside the city to take refuge, although he clearly felt that Kakaluka seemed to not welcome him to visit him (the two really didn't have much common language. Moreover, Dongzi had to avoid it as soon as he went to Wuhu Army. Now Kaka is in need of the military advisor to help clear the layers of fog and see the complex situation of Sili). At this time, Indi Dongzi couldn't care about these things. He pretended not to see Kaka's face, how pitiful it was.

The lord of a city ended up having a home but could not return. Of course, this account should be recorded on the lord of a city.

"It's despicable. Zheng Aniu is too despicable!"

The only thing that made Invincible Dongzi feel more relieved was that the court and some princes also sent envoys to Luoyang. Their target was naturally Zhang Ning, the only place in the legend that he could open the Yellow Turban treasure. As the saying goes, people died for money. Invincible Dongzi believed that it was not easy for Fengxiang to escape from the "Treasure Sect" incident.

"I'm so miserable with rumors. But I'll accept it even if I have you with me!"

The lord of the ancient city was furious and said angrily.

When Invincible Dongzi was tortured by various envoys, Luoyang City was in the east of Bogu. It was another scene. People settled here continued to work their own way, and the crowds of players came and went without stopping for a moment. Luoyang City was still as lively and prosperous as usual.

In the largest restaurant in Luoyang City, Aniu and the envoys from all walks of life were drinking happily, and the guests and hosts were happy.

There is no need to doubt why the treatment received by Aniu and Wudi Dongzi is very different when facing the envoys of the same forces. Everyone knows that a certain city lord is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and Fengxiang's deterrence is obviously not the same level as Bo Gucheng. The most important thing is that the problems of the two territories are completely different.

The problem faced by Fengxiang is to be too great, that is, "the crime of possessing a treasure". He accidentally took Zhang Ning, who could open the Yellow Turban treasure, and no one has the right to let Fengxiang give up the battle for the treasure, and the so-called treasure may not exist yet; Bo Gu's problem is not that simple. If someone thinks that Li Ru is indeed under the Invincible Dongzi's tent, he can just erase Bo Gu City from the land of China under the banner of "trial to rebel"!

Li Ru's whereabouts may affect the court and the interests and security of some princes close to Sili. No one wants to suffer a possible military threat from the soldiers in Liangzhou. This threat is real. Although the woman who opened the Yellow Turban treasure was in Aniu's hands, the princes did not forget that the so-called treasures were buried in Julu, which was Yuan Shao's land. Even if they got Zhang Ning from Aniu, they would have to pass Yuan Shao's speed!

Zhang Ning is a hot potato. Everyone wants to eat it, but no one dares to act rashly. Therefore, the envoys can be domineering in Bogu City like a bully, but in Luoyang, they must show enough etiquette, and the envoys are happy to drink and have fun in the former royal capital.

Objectively speaking, Feng Xiang faces a tiny external threat in the treasure rumor, but in the eyes of Pang Tong and Chen Gong, no matter how small the threat is, it is a threat and must be resolved as soon as possible. As long as Zhang Ning is still in Fengxiang City for a day, this threat will always exist and will always be a variable!

The banquet now is an opportunity to completely put aside this variable.

In the unique rich and mellow fragrance of Baihua Wine, the atmosphere during the meal became more and more active. The messengers praised this kind of wine. This is a specialty of Fengxiang City. Due to the limited production and high price, people and others cannot drink it from time to time.

Amid the laughter, a city lord seemed to be a little proud and took the initiative to say to all messengers present: "I caught a beautiful woman from Bo Gu City in the past, which was said to be Zhang Ning, the daughter of Zhang Jiao. The Bo Gu City lord also spread rumors about the troublesome Yellow Turban treasure. Zhang Ning is the only person in the world who can open the treasure. When I first heard this news, I was really happy for a while, and I interrogated the woman day and night. Now, there has finally made some progress. Do you want to know?"

Everyone's eyes lit up, and naturally no one was too stupid to say no.

Chen Gong kept coughing and winking, but the city lord ignored it and raised the big cup in front of him and drank it dejectedly, saying dejectedly: "The only thing that can be proved is that she is indeed Zhang Jiao's daughter, and she is extremely skillful in the magic. As for the Yellow Turban treasure that is circulated in the market, it is a little bit of a clue. Invincible Dongzi deceived us so miserably!"

The messenger from Chang'an reacted fiercely and snorted coldly: "The Lord of Bogu is really bold and dares to hide the daughter of the rebel Zhang Jiao. It seems that the news that Li Ru was in Bogu is not groundless."

Most of the other envoys reacted plainly. They were different from Chang'an. They only had to be responsible for the princes they represented. It was not important for them to have or not Bo Gu had taken in Zhang Jiao's daughter. Being able to be ordered to serve on an envoy shows that these people were sophisticated and quick to react. A Niu's behavior seemed to them to be clumsy. It was not easy to make them believe that the Yellow Turban treasure did not exist.

The Jizhou envoy said in a deep voice: "When Zhang Jiao was gathering in Julu, he was a minor official in Julu County. He had never heard of Zhang Jiao having a daughter. Now that the Lord of Aniu City has taken Zhang Ning, can I also let me feast my eyes?"

A Niu hesitated and said, "Zhang Ning is very stubborn. I have been scolded by her during this period. If she scolds and insults later, then...

"It's okay!"

"Since that's the case, you guys make it a little worse."

After half a stick of incense, two Fengxiang martial artists brought Zhang Ning, who tied his hands behind his back.

Zhang Ning's expression was depressed. The interrogation over the past few days had already made her exhausted, and her pretty face was full of fatigue. When she saw A Niu sitting in the main seat, a raging flame suddenly ignited in her eyes. A force that emerged from some point came out, spat on the ground and said, "Dog thief, I want to know the whereabouts of the treasure from me, dreaming in the daytime! I wish I could crush you and make Fengxiang restless..

Amid Aniu's bitter laughter, the martial artist blocked Zhang Ning's mouth and ended her insult.

Zhang Ning's father and brother died one after another at the hands of Fengxiang people. Such hatred could not be resolved. Zhang Ning had no reason to help a city lord clear the suspicion. The anger and sadness on her face were definitely not something that could be pretended, and the messengers all saw it.

More importantly, Zhang Ning subconsciously scolded and clearly conveyed a message--Feng Xiang has not yet obtained the secret of the treasure from Zhang Ning!

This is exactly what A Niu wants them to know.

If Fengxiang wants to retreat unstoppably from the "Treasure Sect", this step is essential!

Just as the messengers from all walks of life racked their brains in secret and figured out how to grab Zhang Ning into his hands, Aniu made them all stunned with one word.

"Everyone has seen it. This witch hated me Feng Xiang to the core. Even if there is really a treasure of Yellow Turban, she will never tell me that I have had enough. I originally wanted to kill the witch on the spot to eliminate future troubles, but doing so would be a disaster. After thinking about it over and over again, I decided to send her to the court for disposal. I wonder what you guys are doing?"
