Chapter 565: This is called seeing the essence through phenomena
Several lieutenants saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly opened their mouths to smooth things over.
"Don't be angry, General. The eldest young master always likes to joke and speaks unabashedly. Don't take it to heart."
"Yes! The eldest young master is used to being loose-tempered, so he won't It's normal to speak."
"Come, General, I'll toast you for today's victory."
"Bang!"
Zuo Wangfeng couldn't hear it. He raised his hand and slammed it, and smashed the wine glass in his hand to the ground with a bang on the spot.
Zuo Yun looked back at him and said, "What's wrong? You were talking and laughing just now, why did you suddenly change your face?"
"You brat, if you have other people's ambitions, you will destroy them." You are so powerful, I think you just deserve a beating. If you don't take back what you just said, I will give you a hundred blows." Zuo Wangfeng pointed at his son and cursed.
Zuo Yun sighed helplessly and said, "Dad! Can you wake up? Do you think that if the emperor really wants the prince to take over the Jiangnan area, he will give the lord dragon seal to Gu Chan? ”
"What do you mean?" Zuo Wangfeng said dumbfounded.
"Dad, this is called looking at the essence through the phenomenon. The emperor is more skilled than anyone else. Even if you really win the offensive and defensive battle tomorrow, Gu Chan will finally give you the lord dragon seal as agreed, so that you can achieve your goal. This Jiangnan area will not fall into the hands of the prince in the end, and you will only become a victim of the upper-level game," Zuo Yun said while biting the leg of lamb.
After his analysis, Zuo Wangfeng lost all his temper on the spot.
Several lieutenants were also sitting nearby. You looked at me, I looked at you, and they all looked at each other for a while.
Zuo Yun added, "One more thing is, if this brat Gu Chan didn't have any strength, how could he be able to take the position of Lord of Jiangnan? I was lucky to win in this second game, because he was against I'm not familiar with it, but I've experienced it After this incident, he finally understands me, so I won't be able to help you much tomorrow. And if you lead the troops to attack the city according to your temper, I think you have a low chance of winning tomorrow's offensive and defensive battle. ”
"What do you think I should do now?" Zuo Wangfeng calmed down and asked.
"It's very simple! You go to Gu Chan tonight and have a good chat with him. The two sides can make peace and put on a show for the prince. Then you just say that you can't capture it and you are so reckless. Just let the soldiers return to Kyoto. No matter how cruel the prince is, he will not dare to attack you at this juncture, because if he wants to secure the throne in the future, he must rely on you, the general of Kyoto." Zuo Yun explained the situation in a few words. Make it crystal clear.
Zuo Wangfeng shook his head and said, "If I go back like this, wouldn't I lose the face of my general in Kyoto?"
"Prince Nanxian and his son must die to save face! But why did they abandon you? Did you run back to Nancheng? It's not obvious. Did they also smell the danger hidden in this fight? Think about it, the prince of Tiancang Kingdom can afford this shame. You are only a general, what's the shame? Can't afford it?" Zuo Yun said with a smile.
"No, I must fight Gu Chan for the last time tomorrow. No matter what, the shame must be lost on the battlefield, not on the peace table." Zuo Wangfeng said coldly.
Seeing that Zuo Yun could not be persuaded, he stopped persuading him. He just sighed and said, "Okay! Then dad, you can do it yourself! I'm leaving, and I won't stay in your camp anymore."
"Where are you going?" Zuo Wangfeng asked.
"There are so many green shops, gambling houses and so on in Jiangnan City. Of course I have to go and have fun." Zuo Yun said with a bad smile.
After saying that, he ran out of the camp and quickly disappeared into the camp.
Zuo Wangfeng sat there, so angry that he couldn't speak. He had always had an attitude towards Zuo Yun that hated iron, and he felt that his son could not hold up the wall.
But just what he said just now completely changed his view of his son.
Now he understands that he is the one who is truly unconscious. On the contrary, Zuo Yun, as an outsider, can see through many crises hidden in the dark! At dusk in the afternoon, Zuo Yun came to Jiangnan City leisurely.
But as soon as he came here, he was spotted by the officers patrolling the Yamen. He didn't care so much and went straight to a green shop to eat, drink and have fun.
The official messenger quickly went to patrol the Yamen to report to Xu Ziguang.
After Xu Ziguang learned about this, he immediately ordered the officials to continue to keep a watch on him secretly. Then he mounted a fast horse and quickly rushed to the lord's mansion.
When he arrived at the Lord's Mansion, it was already dark.
Gu Chan was sitting at the lobby table in the front yard eating dinner. When she saw him suddenly coming, she said, "Have you had dinner? If not, let's sit down and eat together!"< br>
"Lord, I am not in the mood to eat right now! That man named Zuo Yun came to Jiangnan City again when it was getting dark, and now he is hiding in a green shop called Meihonglou on East Street. Here!" Xu Ziguang said anxiously.
"Tomorrow is the last day of the offensive and defensive battle. At this juncture, it is a bit abnormal for him to come to Jiangnan City to take a break!" Gu Chan said with a frown.
"Yes! That's why I hurriedly came to report to you!" Xu Ziguang said hurriedly.
Gu Chan nodded, "Okay, then you can go back! I'll finish my meal later and go to Meihonglou in person. I want to see what this young man is up to."
"Lord, you have to be careful! This Zuo Yun is very clever, so you must not talk to him." Xu Ziguang reminded with concern.
Gu Chan was amused by him and laughed.
Obviously, Xu Ziguang was teased by Zuo Yun all night last night, and now Xu Ziguang has been psychologically affected by him, otherwise Xu Ziguang would not appear in front of him now.
Knowing this in her heart, Gu Chan didn't say much, just nodded silently in agreement.
Xu Ziguang stopped staying too much and immediately said goodbye to Gu Chan and left.
As soon as he left, Yuan Jie walked in from outside the door, stood next to Gu Chan and said, "Master, I will accompany you later! Otherwise, if something happens, we will all worry about you. "
"Okay!" Gu Chan agreed without thinking too much.
Afterwards, she finished her dinner quickly, and left the Lord's Mansion in a carriage with Yuan Jie, heading towards the Meihong Building on East Street.
Half an hour later, the two arrived outside Meihong Tower.
When the madam saw Gu Chan coming, she immediately came out to greet her enthusiastically, not daring to neglect her at all.
Gu Chan said directly, "Did Young Master Zuo come to your place this afternoon?"
"Lord, he is in Wing No. 3, Tianzi, on the third floor. I will take you there. Come up." The madam said with a smile.
"No need, you are busy with your business, don't make any noise, I will just go up by myself." Gu Chan said.
"Yes, Lord." The madam responded obediently and stepped aside wisely.
Gu Chan quietly led Yuan Jie towards the third floor without attracting anyone's attention.
