Giant Deer.
In the City Lord's Mansion, Yuan Shao's envoy was trembling with fear as he sat upright.
Lu Fengnian opened the letter that Yuan Shao had personally written and read it carefully.
The emissary paid close attention to Lu Fengnian's expression as he read the letter. He was prepared to kneel and beg for mercy if anything went wrong.
Fortunately, Lu Fengnian's smile remained unchanged after reading the letter.
Although no changes were often the most unpredictable and making people nervous, it was better than directly turning hostile, right?
Lu Fengnian looked at the messenger and smiled." Great General Yuan, you're so magnanimous. I'm ashamed of my inferiority!"”
"Feng Nian's elder brother, Lu Bu, was killed by the Cao rebels in Xu Prefecture. Feng Nian had no choice but to save his elder brother and sister-in-law, Diao Chan, and lead his elder brother's old subordinates all the way north.”
"However, after such a long journey, the military supplies were in urgent need, so I had no choice but to borrow Julu City to temporarily recuperate.”
"Feng Nian had no intention of becoming enemies with your lord.”
"Envoy, please return to your lord's side and put in a few good words!”
When the messenger heard this, he quickly stepped forward in fear and said respectfully,"General Lu, you're too kind!"
"My lord is very appreciative of the general. He often praises the general for his bravery and that he is an unparalleled hero!”
At this point, the emissary's expression was cautious as he said softly,""Since it's with the general, I might as well say it directly.”
"My lord has said several times that General Yan Liang is not even half as talented as General Lu.”
Lu Fengnian looked at Yuan Shao's envoy and laughed to himself. He was quite an interesting person.
"Deacon Yuan praises me too much. Feng Nian is still inexperienced and has a long way to go!”
When the messenger heard Lu Fengnian address Yuan Shao as Deacon Yuan with a smile, he was instantly in a good mood!
The details of how he addressed her were very particular!
Previously, Lu Fengnian was your lord, Great General Yuan. Now that he had addressed him as Deacon Yuan, he had pulled the distance between the two parties. This meant that Lu Fengnian had also begun to respect Yuan Shao.
After all, Yuan Shao was openly and secretly expressing his goodwill to Lu Fengnian, and he was not stingy with his words of praise. As the saying goes, one should not hit a smiling person. This should be the case!
Thus, the messenger struck while the iron was hot and hurriedly said,""General Lu, since you have read my lord's letter, you must know that my lord has decided to hand over Julu. I only hope that the two families can be close and help each other!”
"Yes, Deacon Yuan is generous!" Lu Fengnian nodded.”
"However, even if Deacon Yuan has a big family business, it's still a family business that he fought with a knife and a gun. If he's really so generous, Feng Nian won't be able to accept his kindness.”
"Fengnian will only stay here for a few days in Julu City. He will lead his army and leave in a few days. At that time, he will return it to Zhao in perfect condition. Deacon Yuan will send another beloved general over to take over!”
Err…
Yuan Shao's envoy didn't know how to respond.
All of them, old and young, were as cunning as foxes!
Those who dug the pit did not reveal any traces, but those who avoided the pit were also brilliant.
However, this task put the messenger, the middleman, in a dilemma!
Before the envoy left, Yuan Shao had instructed that the matter must be settled. The city must be given, the favor must be given, and Lu Fengnian must be accepted!
What should he do now?
Although he wouldn't die if he went back like this, his future was definitely hopeless!
"General Lu, this…"
The emissary braced himself and wanted to say something, but Lu Fengnian waved his hand and said,"Sigh, there's no need to say anything more. Feng Nian understands Deacon Yuan's good intentions, but this Julu City will definitely have to be returned.”
"However, Feng Nian has already sensed the goodwill between the two families. This is the greatest gain of your trip.”
"Go back to Deacon Yuan and tell him that I, Lu Fengnian, already know Deacon Yuan's intentions. Consider it that I owe him a favor and that I will repay him in the future!”
"You can just say that. I guarantee that you'll be safe and sound, and I might even reward you greatly.”
Upon hearing this, the emissary's mind raced and he quickly understood what was going on. Thus, he knelt down and bowed sincerely to Lu Fengnian!
"Thank you, General Lu!"
That's right. Lu Fengnian was unwilling to jump into this pit openly. He did not want to owe Yuan Shaotian a huge favor on the surface.
But this way, Yuan Shao's goal would definitely not be achieved.
Yuan Shao could not offend Lu Fengnian for the time being, but he could easily vent his anger on a diplomatic envoy like you.
However, Lu Fengnian was not so unkind as to directly reject Yuan Shao's good intentions and leave the envoy in a difficult position.
This kind gesture was appreciated, but if he owed a favor, he would definitely repay it in the future.
He was grateful for his kindness, but he didn't really accept it.
How big was the favor? How much do I have to pay?
I will repay you in the future. What day will it be? How?
These were all things that Lu Fengnian and Yuan Shao would haggle over.
As for the messenger, although he did not complete the mission perfectly, he still had a good explanation from Yuan Shao.
Chen Gong, who had been sitting in his seat and watching everything quietly, did not say a word.
However, his recognition of this young lord had already turned into admiration.
Was this really the ability of an eighteen-year-old youth?
Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were even more impressed.
With just a few words, Yuan Shao's envoy was dismissed. In a conversation, the overall situation was in control.
The deterrence in front of the city had already messed up the messenger's mind. At this moment, he was emotional and reasonable. The messenger bowed as if he had received a great kindness.
Although our lord is young, he's extremely experienced when he does things. He's amazing!
