As for Meng Yi himself, he was now rushing to Wuyi with a heart full of anxiety.
He exchanged Hejian County and Han Fu for two counties. One was Gaotang, and the other was Dezhou. These two counties were adjacent to Pingyuan, which was easy to manage. Moreover, Pingyuan was the foundation of the future.
Originally, Liu Bei would not let him go even if he died. However, Jian Yong had to take care of the county affairs, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had to fight and march, so they could not do such things. If Liu Bei came alone, he would probably be taken hostage by the Han Provincial Governor. Left with no choice, Liu Bei could only agree and let Zhang Fei bring 100 elite soldiers to protect him.
Third Master Zhang had now become Meng Yi's personal bodyguard.
Meng Yi's thinking was not enough. He was prepared to return the Anping Kingdom to Han Fu first, then return Gongsun Zan's 3,000 soldiers. This way, he could show the enemy that he was weak. At worst, he could threaten Han Fu.
However, Meng Yi did not expect that his plan would not work at all. Instead, it was his shameless actions that had a big effect.
Han Fu thought hard in the study for a long time before returning to the banquet. Juyi was still eating and drinking. After drinking, Juyi became even more arrogant.
" Back in Liangzhou, I led 800 men of sacrifice and killed the Qiang people. Now that I've returned to Jizhou, I'm so cowardly." General Ju Yi began to criticize the civil and military officials of Jizhou as he recounted his glorious history.
"Although Guan Chun isn't as good as me, his loyalty is something that I admire. I didn't expect that he would be turned around by you useless people who only know how to talk on paper. The useful ones left, and the useless ones stayed.”
Han Fu had just returned to the table and had not even touched her chopsticks when she heard these words. A wave of resentment rushed to her head and she almost lost her balance.
Han Fu was still far inferior to Liu Bei. In history, Liu Bei had been living everywhere and was hunted down every day. He had been defeated repeatedly and eventually became the emperor. What about Han Fu? She was so angry that she almost fainted again.
"Sir, the messenger of Liu Bei from the Pingyuan Order requests an audience!" A soldier came to report and interrupted Ju Yi's words. General Ju Yi was originally boasting proudly, but he was interrupted by someone."Who is the envoy?"
"Pingyuan Meng Yi!"
Han Fu's heart twitched when she heard Meng Yi's name. It was this guy who had put her in this state, but she couldn't do anything to him now.
" Invite him in," Han Fu said through gritted teeth.
Meng Yi and Zhang Fei walked in side by side. Zhang Fei was holding a 18-foot-long Snake Spear and carrying a treasured sword at his waist. He was wearing heavy armor and looked like he was about to fight.
This was the result of Meng Yi's arrangement. The more it was like this, the more Han Fu would think that they were afraid.
As soon as he entered, Meng Yi felt that something was wrong. All the high officials of Jizhou were here, but there was only one person dressed like a general. In front of him was a pile of bones. The others didn't even touch their chopsticks. Meng Yi looked up and down at the person. He was not tall, but his face was full of beard, like steel needles. His eyes were filled with arrogance. When he saw Meng Yi, he didn't greet him. After glancing at him, he ignored everyone else and started eating and drinking.
How could Meng Yi not know that this was Juyi?
"Meng Yi of Pingyuan pays his respects to the Provincial Governor." Meng Yi saluted Han Fu respectfully.
"Sir, long time no see. When does County Magistrate Liu plan to take up his post in Hejian?”Han Fu asked coldly. She was actually testing Meng Yi in her heart.
Meng Yi's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Han Fu already knew his intentions and wanted to embarrass him?
" I don't know either." Meng Yi could only probe first.
"You don't know? Then why did you come here?" Han Fuyi stared at Meng Yi with eyes that were about to spit fire. It was obvious that he could not hold it in any longer.
"Ever since my county magistrate defeated the bandits of Black Mountain by luck, he has been looking for the provincial governor. He has just received the news and ordered his men to rush over."
"Looking for me? I wonder why your county magistrate is in such a hurry to find me?”Han Fu did not understand what Meng Yi was up to.
"Isn't the Provincial Governor asking the obvious? Back then, the Black Mountain Bandits had already invaded the Anping Country. When he heard that the Provincial Governor was seriously injured, he rushed over to rescue him. After defeating the Black Mountain Bandits, he sent people everywhere to look for the whereabouts of the Provincial Governor. As soon as he received the news, he immediately ordered me to visit him."
"So your county magistrate sent you here to visit me?”Han Fu's face became a little strange." Of course, it's not just that. My master ordered me to come and handle the handover procedures." Meng Yi referred to Anping Country when he handed over the handover procedures, because Anping Country was now a piece of chicken ribs in Liu Bei's hands. He wanted to return it to Han Fu immediately.
However, when Provincial Governor Han heard this, he was different. He thought that the handover procedure was because Liu Bei was in a hurry to take up the post in Hejian. He had doubts before, but now he was certain that Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan had colluded.
"Sir, then let me ask you something. Is your county magistrate in such a hurry to take up his post in Hejian? Could it be that there was something shameful going on?”Han Fu couldn't hold it in anymore and was about to turn hostile.
"Provincial Governor, you've misunderstood. My county magistrate is still in Anping Country, not Hejian.”Meng Yi said with some fear. Even if he didn't need to, this was still Meng Yi's disguise technique.
Han Fu blushed when she heard that. It turned out that she had misunderstood. The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
"Is your lord really going to return Anping Country to me?”
"Of course. My county magistrate is your subordinate, how can I return him? Anping Country originally belonged to Jizhou, so it naturally belonged to you, Provincial Governor. Meng Yi and Han Fu were now completely different, but neither of them knew about it.
"Oh? What other conditions does your county magistrate have?”Han Fu thought to herself, I've seen through your scheme. You want to take up the post in Hejian? There was no way.
" Also, about my county magistrate going to Hejian to take up his post." Meng Yi carefully probed step by step. He wanted to see Han Fu's reaction first, but who knew that Han Fu would immediately say something.
"Hejian County is located in the northwest and is very barren. After thinking about it, I feel that County Magistrate Liu should not go to that bitter and cold place because he has made such a great contribution this time."
As soon as Han Fu said this, Meng Yi's mind couldn't wrap around it. What was going on? Didn't he not want to go to Hejian in the first place? Why did Provincial Governor Han bring it up first?
"Then where does the Provincial Governor think my County Magistrate should go?”
"Wei County is connected to Taihang Mountain in the west and Ye City in the east. It is the most prosperous county in Jizhou. Lord Liu has made such great contributions this time, why don't you go to Wei County?”
Meng Yi was stunned. How could there be such a good thing? Could it be that a huge pie fell from the sky and hit me?
