"I am Blazing Sun, the Governor of Qingzhou, the Governor of Yanzhou, and the King of Bohai. I believe that if you are in the imperial court, you should have heard of me?"
Faced with Yang Rui's question, the people in the carriage did not answer. Yang Rui was about to go forward and pull them out one by one, but then he thought of something and spoke again. One?? Reading · 1 · cc
At this moment, Yang Rui's identity was already different. He was very influential in the three civilizations, but Yang Rui was not completely used to using this identity.
"Blazing Sun … Blazing Sun? Governor … Governor of Qingzhou? "
"…"
Yang Rui's appearance in the northwest was too sudden. After all, everyone knew that he was participating in the fight for Xuzhou. Almost all of his troops were in Xuzhou, but they did not expect him to appear in Yongzhou. Ma Yu, Liu Dan, and Zhong Shao were shocked and doubtful at the same time.
"We have always admired Blazing Sun, the Governor of Bohai, the Western Conquering General, and the Marquis of Weinan, but … may I ask if you have any evidence to prove your identity?"
Ma Yu, Liu Dan, and Zhong Shao hesitated for a moment, then got off the carriage and greeted Yang Rui with the etiquette of a great scholar. They did not belittle Yang Rui's identity, but they obviously still had doubts about Yang Rui's identity, so they asked Yang Rui for his identity.
Among the three of them, only Zhong Shao had seen Yang Rui from afar outside the imperial court, but he did not see very clearly. In addition, it was night time, so he could not see people's faces clearly. Therefore, Zhong Shao could not be sure of Yang Rui's identity. Want? See?? Book w? w? w? 1 book k? a? Nshu · cc
"This is my document and official seal. Do you have any other doubts?"
Yang Rui did not care about Ma Yu, Liu Dan, and Zhong Shao's requests. He tossed the document and official seal over to them to prove his identity.
"My name is Zhong Shao, and I am the Advisor. Greetings, Prefecture Overseer Blazing Sun."
"I am Ma Yu, an attendant. Greetings to Lord Blazing Sun."
"This humble one is Liu Dan. I am the Imperial Censor of Books. I pay my respects to Prefecture Overseer Blazing Sun."
Yang Rui was able to produce documents and official seals. Now that their identities were confirmed, Ma Yu, Liu Dan, and Zhong Shao greeted Yang Rui one after another.
Normally, Ma Yu, Liu Dan, and Zhong Shao could be considered people who followed the Emperor around, even though their status was still far below Yang Rui's. However, they did not have to be humble.
However, the centralization of power in the Han Dynasty had practically ceased to exist. The position of Prefecture Overseer had practically become a figure with real power, 'Overseer of the Son of Heaven'. Thus, Ma Yu, Liu Dan, and Zhong Shao's attitudes were all extremely respectful.
"You don't have to be so polite. If you don't mind, you can come to my Sky City for a chat. I want to understand the situation of the current Lord. Please enlighten me. "
When Yang Rui first found the carriage, the first thing that came to his mind was that he might receive a plot mission, such as escorting, delivering messages, and so on. 1? Reading W? w? W · 1 · cc
However, after learning the identities of Ma Yu, Liu Dan, and Zhong Shao, Yang Rui already had a rough idea of their general situation. His plan had also changed accordingly.
Due to the lack of detailed information related to historical facts and romances, Yang Rui did not know the true strength and ability of Ma Yu, Liu Dan, and Zhong Shao. However, these three held important positions and should undoubtedly be historical figures.
What Yang Rui lacked the most at this time was talents. Now that he had encountered them, how could he easily miss them?
Ma Yu, Liu Dan, and Zhong Shao heard Yang Rui's invitation. Although they were a little confused and did not know what kind of existence the Sky City was, they still hesitated for a moment before accepting Yang Rui's suggestion.
At present, Ma Yu, Liu Dan, and Zhong Shao were already at the end of their rope. They were lucky to have met Yang Rui instead of falling into the hands of Li Jue and Guo Si. In particular, Ma Yu, Liu Dan, and Zhong Shao recognized Yang Rui's reputation and perception. Hence, they did not have the thought of rejecting him.
In fact, among Ma Yu, Liu Dan, and Zhong Shao, only Zhong Shao had some martial arts, but it was very ordinary. The other two were weak scholars. Therefore, even if the three of them were unwilling to listen to Yang Rui's suggestion, they did not have the courage to show it.
Back then, Ma Yu, Liu Dan, Zhong Shao, and Liu Fan had conspired together to plot against Li Jue and Guo Si. Among them, Liu Fan was the strongest in terms of martial prowess. However, before that, Liu Fan had sneaked off to lead twenty thousand troops from Yi Province to attack Jiameng Pass. The remaining three were all scholarly figures.
"Where are you going, sirs? If you have nowhere else to go for the time being, why don't you go to Qingzhou and Yanzhou to stay temporarily? Can I guarantee that you won't be disturbed by Li Jue and Guo Si again? What do you think? "
After everyone entered the Sky Castle, Yang Rui no longer tried to hide anything and asked directly.
When he saw Ma Yu, Liu Dan, and Zhong Shao, Yang Rui had already guessed that they were on the way to escape if they hadn't met him. If he had not encountered them, they would not have ended up well.
Moreover, since Ma Yu, Liu Dan, and Zhong Shao had already entered Sky City, they would not be able to leave so easily. Yang Rui did not need to beat around the bush.
"This …"
Yang Rui's words made Ma Yu, Liu Dan, and Zhong Shao hesitate for a while. In the end, they did not say anything.
"Sirs, you don't have to worry too much. I know that the matter of you targeting Li Jue and Guo Si should have been exposed at this time. I wonder if my guess is correct?"
Seeing that Ma Yu, Liu Dan, and Zhong Shao were hesitant to speak, Yang Rui was even more certain. He directly said the guess in his heart, causing the three of them to look at each other in dismay.
"I, Blazing Sun, have also been entrusted by the official with an imperial edict. He said that Li Jue, Guo Si, and the others were abusing power, holding the Han Dynasty hostage, and harming the rivers. He wanted me to rise up and call for the vassals to punish them.
However, Blazing Sun is incompetent. My strength is very lacking, and I am burdened by various trivial matters. Moreover, the other vassals also have their own selfish motives. Therefore, I have not been able to complete the task entrusted by the official with an imperial edict.
It is precisely because of this that I admire the three of you even more. The three of you put the country first, throwing life and death without fear. Even if you die ten thousand times, you do not let down the Han Dynasty. This is what I, Blazing Sun, feel guilty and deeply admire … "
Yang Rui ignored the expressions of Ma Yu, Liu Dan, and Zhong Shao and spoke from the side about the imperial edict entrusted by Liu Xie. He indirectly expressed his position. Immediately, Ma Yu, Liu Dan, and Zhong Shao's expressions became much better.
In truth, Yang Rui was also somewhat uncertain about the purpose of Ma Yu, Liu Dan, and Zhong Shao contacting Ma Teng and Han Sui to suppress Li Jue and Guo Si. However, he still had to say some words on the surface. No matter what the other party's motive was, the attitude that Yang Rui expressed could not be criticized.
"Lord Governor, you praise us too much. Our matter is not worth mentioning. However, your loyalty can be seen. In the future, when we set things right and support the country, you must take action …"
"Indeed …"
"…"
After hearing Yang Rui's words, Ma Yu, Liu Dan, and Zhong Shao's expressions became much more relaxed, and they all spoke words of praise.
"Sigh … I am always ruthless, but I cannot do as I wish …"
Eh? Since all of you are like-minded people, why don't you come to Qingzhou and Yanzhou to help me, so that I can complete the important task of supporting the Han Dynasty as soon as possible? "
