Dressed as Wu Dalang, Jinlian please respect yourself

Chapter 387 Why Don't You Talk?

After hearing this suggestion, Zhao Yu nodded again and again.

"Mr. Zheng is right. In this way, even if those civil servants are unwilling, they will definitely agree to cooperate with me for the sake of their own wealth and lives."

On the same day, Zhao Yu wrote a letter, ordering Zheng Dong to go to Moke City in person.

Zheng Dong went with the letter.

But when he arrived at Mo Ke City, he was stunned by the sight before him.

Moh Ke City, which used to be prosperous and famous for its literature in the whole Nanyue Kingdom, turned into a barren city in a blink of an eye. The people here either fled or died.Those who could not escape were numb and allowed to be trampled and humiliated by the mountains.

Zheng Dong's mood suddenly became heavy, and his steps seemed to be injected with lead and mercury, walking step by step with difficulty.

Soon, he was seen by the Shanyue Army wandering in the street. They surrounded him, grabbed Zheng Dong, looked at him with a sneer, and said, "Seeing how well-dressed you are, you should be a rich man. If you want to live , Quickly take out all the valuable things on your body. If you dare to hide a little, the uncle will definitely chop off your brain."

Zheng Dong looked at their wretched looks, and his face darkened.

"My humble Zheng Dong is the counselor of General Zhao Yu. This time, I came here to discuss matters with King Zuoluwei under the order of General Zhao. Please lead me to see your king."

When the Shanyue army heard that it was sent by Zhao Yu, they dared not do anything.

"Okay, you come with us to meet our king."

A Shanyue soldier led the way in front, Zheng Dong followed, and arrived at Tianlong Academy in Moke City.

Zheng Dong glanced at this century-old academy. At that time, there were many talented people here. The collection of books was the largest library outside the capital. Classic books that have been handed down for hundreds of years in the Han Dynasty are here.

Now these classic books worth a thousand dollars are all discarded on the ground, allowed to be trampled by the Shanyue army, and even used to light fire.

Zheng Dong is also a person who reads the books of sages and sages. Seeing such scenes, he naturally felt very uncomfortable.

But now these are beyond his control, Zaiheyou can sigh silently in his heart.

The soldiers led him to the main hall of the academy. King Zuoluwei was sitting in the teacher's seat, reading "The Analects of Confucius" in his hand, and smiled while reading: "This old master is too pedantic. Morality. However, there are a few benevolent and moral people in this world who have a good end, so why don’t you simply follow your heart and live happily. Even if you don’t end well in the future, at least you don’t have any regrets in this life.”

Hearing that King Zuo Luwei belittled his master so much, Zheng Dong's face changed slightly, although he was very upset, he still endured it.

"My lord, Zhao Yu sent someone to look for you."

Soldiers report to King David on the left.

King Zuo Luwei raised his head, glanced at Zheng Dong, and smiled coldly: "Here comes another scholar. Recently, my lord has arrested a thousand scholars in this scholar city, and wants them to serve my lord. But these scholars I don’t know if my brain is broken, I would rather die than serve my lord, it’s really stupid. You are also a scholar, can you tell my lord why they don’t want to work for my lord?”

Zheng Dong knew in his heart that even he would not be willing to serve a brutal person like King Zuo Luwei.It's just that because of Zhao Yu's kindness, he had to plan for him and came to negotiate with King Zuoluwei in person.

"This villain doesn't know."

"You don't know? You don't want to say it?"

King Zuo Luwei smiled slightly, but Zheng Dong was sweating profusely on his back.

He saw a trace of murderous intent and a trace of sarcasm in King Zuo Luwei's eyes.

The atmosphere suddenly became serious, and time seemed to stop at this moment.

"Since you don't know, I won't force you. Tell me, what did Zhao Yu ask you to come here?"

King Zuo Luwei smiled contemptuously.

Zheng Dong didn't want to say it, why didn't he know it in his heart.

This group of scholars never thought highly of him, a barbarian chief, in their hearts, and cooperating with him would lose their status as students.On the contrary, fighting against him can not only gain fame, but also earn respect.

However, King Zuoluwei is not a broad-minded person. For him, anyone who is unwilling to cooperate with him, and anyone who looks down on their mountains, has only one way, and that is death!
Zheng Dong cupped his hands: "My family's General Zhao Yu is about to succeed to the throne, but there are still many civil servants in the capital who are unwilling to surrender, so General Zhao wants to ask your help, Your Majesty. Pretending to attack the Nanyue Kingdom makes the situation in the Nanyue Kingdom a sense of crisis. The general will be able to protect the Nanyue Kingdom as an excuse, and succeed to the throne smoothly."

As soon as these words came out, King Zuo Luwei laughed, and then shook his head again and again.

"My lord thought that Zhao Yu sent you here for some important event. It turned out to be such a trivial matter. The civil servants are unwilling to surrender, so it's easy to handle. If you kill them, it's over. Why bother?"

"Oh, I understand. This Zhao Yu wants to be enthroned as the king of Nanyue, but also wants not to be infamous. As a wise king through the ages who is in danger. This move is very high, but should he give this king some benefits? ?”

King Zuo Luwei stared at Zheng Dong, his eyes full of sarcasm.

Zheng Dong was silent. Before coming, they didn't think of this step.

"Why didn't you speak?"

"My lord, General Zhao has reached an agreement with you before. You help him become the king of Nanyue. He will give you the land in the west, as well as several iron and copper mines. Now you have obtained the land in the west. The copper mines You can also mine iron ore nearby. It can be said that General Zhao has met your conditions, but you have not helped him ascend the throne, and now you have to raise conditions, which seems unreasonable."

As soon as these words came out, King Zuo Luwei's face suddenly darkened.

All the deployments behind him stood up and pointed at Zheng Dong.

"What are you kid, you dare to bargain with our king!"

"That's right, don't talk about you, even if Zhao Yu came in person, he wouldn't dare to talk to my king like that."

"Zhao Yu wants our king to help, so show some sincerity. If not, what should you do? We, Shanyue, don't make clothes for others for nothing."

Zheng Dong's face became very ugly, Shan Yue is really greedy!
Seeing that the time was almost up, King Zuo Luwei waved his hand to signal his subordinates to stop arguing. He stared at Zheng Dong and said, "You heard it very clearly just now. Without sincerity, we will not send troops. So you can go back and tell Zhao Yu now. Now, is he going to be the king of Nanyue, or is he going to fight against us?"

Zheng Dong frowned, sighed for a long time, and said, "Dare to ask the king, what kind of sincerity do you need to help General Zhao?"

"I want Yinzhou City."
