Luo Tuan looked as usual on his face and smiled: "Then Dong Zhen is upright and contempts the generals the most. How can he protect his life? But since you have received my letter, you naturally have no intention of killing me. Why should Tong Tang intimidate me without saying anything?"

Tang Ji's heart moved, and wanted to not show his trump card first, and first see what Luo Tuan had in his heart. He sneered: "What kind of letters, I don't know. You guys hurt me and I was defeated in Shichengshan. I wish I could eat meat and sleep with you. I took you to the mansion today just to take your life. Don't think of getting away with a few false words."

"Since you haven't received the letter, why should you take me to the study room and leave it behind? This is obviously a matter of negotiation and no one wants to know about it. If you just want to kill me, aren't you afraid of a poor rat eating cat? Luo's fight to the death, you may not be able to live in a low position." Luo Tuan said this, slightly raised his upper body, as if he was about to take action immediately.

Tang Ji was shocked when he heard this. Luo Tuan was a martial arts clan for generations, and his martial arts were indeed far beyond his ability. If he made a temptation, he would misunderstand it, and he would kill him. His face immediately changed color and he said with a smile on his face: "I just talked about it just now. Why should you take it seriously, General Luo?"

"So that's the case, I'm so misunderstood. I'm ashamed." Luo Tuan said haha, but he sneered in his heart. You, Tang Ju, just now, want to threaten yourself and take the lead in the conversation later, but I know that although you are scheming, you have no courage. How can you scare others?

Tang Ji was humble at this time and acted attentively. He called a maid to bring the cooked tea soup, which seemed to be accustomed to meeting friends for many years. Luo Tuan was not humble and accepted it calmly. If others who didn't know about it saw it, they thought that these two were really a good deal, but they didn't know that these two were just a match for interests. If it weren't for the situation, they would be afraid that they would kill each other immediately.

After the two of them had used the tea and Tang Ji ordered the maid to clean up and said to Luo Tuan with a smile: "This bun of tea cakes is a tribute sent to Chang'an in the past. They were rewarded by the king. Now that the war is in chaos, the tribute road is cut off, even the emperor of Chang'an may not have such a blessing. General Luo is still satisfied."

After Luo Tuan finished drinking the tea soup, he felt the fragrance was left on his mouth, and was refreshed. He couldn't help but admire Tangjiu's enjoyment. He replied: "It's indeed a good tea. If it weren't for the Tang Dutong Mansion today, how could he have such a good taste? But I don't know how many times can this tea soup be drunk?"

Tang Ji's heart moved. He knew that the opera meat was coming, but he pretended to be confused and ignorant, and replied: "There is still a piece of tea cake underneath. If General Luo likes it, he will still have it if he drinks it five or six times. If there are more, he will probably be gone. How can we be greedy for such a royal thing?"

Luo Tuan saw that Tang Ji was pretending to be stupid and just around the corner, but he didn't get to the point. He was a little impatient and sneered: "The house is on fire, and the swallows are still building a nest in the hall. Are there still fewer such short-sighted people in the world? Could it be that Tong Tang Dutong knew that he was in danger and was in danger of being in a different place at any time? At that time, even if there were more tea cakes in your family, how could he enjoy the food?"

Seeing that Luo Tuan finally couldn't stand his character and got to the point, Tang Ji secretly was happy. He was a very clever person. After reading Luo Tuan's letter, he guessed the general meaning. However, he knew that in this bargaining process, the more he could take the initiative in the subsequent negotiations and gain more benefits. So he deliberately borrowed tea cakes and made the nonsense. The purpose was to sharpen the other party's character and let the negotiations enter his own track. He smiled and said, "How can General Luo say this? You haven't just sent a letter to say that the Xuanrun Army in Huainan has crossed Zhejiang and is heading straight to Xiling. Gu Quanwu got Qian Miao's letter to call him and had to lead troops back to rescue. The siege of Yuezhou is about to be resolved. Where will the murder disaster come from? Could it be that your news is fake?"

Luo Tuan was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly realized that he was too impatient just now. He almost showed his trump card too early, quickly calmed down and said with a smile: "My news is true, but the day the siege of Yuezhou City is unblocked is the time when Tang Dutong died."

Tang Ji's heart skipped a beat. Luo Tuan's words just now suddenly touched the place he was most worried about, fearing that once the foreign enemy went, Dong Zhen would take charge of military power and eliminate dissidents. His face changed slightly, and he replied calmly: "General Luo is joking. If the siege of Yuezhou is untied, the king can recover the old state of Zhejiang eastern. This is a great thing. Even if I don't get a title, I can at least maintain my prosperity. Where did the disaster come from? General Luo should not bully each other with big words."

As soon as Luo Tuan finished speaking, he stared at Tang Ji's face. He immediately saw that Tang Ji's panic was so strong that he could cover up. He was already very calm and wanted to spare you a cunning and as if he was about to take my words. Since he had already understood Tang Ji's trump card, Luo Tuan was not anxious. He stood up and walked around the study room, carefully watched Tang Ji's gold and silver utensils and exquisite pottery placed around. He praised him, but he never mentioned that Tang Ji had a murderous disaster just now. Tang Ji sat aside, as if countless steel needles suddenly appeared under his butt, and was extremely uncomfortable. After a while, he finally couldn't bear it and stood up and smiled bitterly: "Brother Luo, don't be playing with him anymore. If you have anything to say, just say it directly."

Luo Tuan turned his mind and was playing with a silver ruyi in his hand, and smiled and said, "Don't Tang Dutong still said that the siege of Yuezhou will be resolved, so there will naturally be no danger anymore, so why bother like this?"

Seeing that Luo Tuan was still pretending to be stupid, Tang Ji was a little angry and said angrily to Luo Tuan: "Since you have come to write that letter, why bother to pretend to be stupid? If you don't want to say it, please leave. I'll not be with you." At this point, I'll leave with my long sleeves.

Seeing that Tang Ji finally admitted that he had received the letter, Luo Tuan was secretly happy. He quickly stepped forward and grabbed Tang Ji's long sleeves, and smiled and said, "I'm talking about it, why should Tang Dutong do this? Someone who entered the lonely city alone, what else can I trust?"

Tang Ji did not really want to leave, so he took advantage of the situation and turned around and asked, "General Luo, you said in your letter that you were trapped in the lonely city, which was extremely critical. You understand this point. But today the Zhenhai Army retreated day by day, but why did you still say that I was in danger? This is a bit alarmist."

"Is that right? Then I ask you, when the military discussion was held in the hall today, you also heard Dong Zhen's words. Why didn't he send troops to pursue Gu Quanwu, but said that he wanted to cultivate politics internally, recruit soldiers, and recover the eastern Zhejiang provinces. Don't say that Tang Dutong couldn't hear what he meant." Luo Tuan stared at Tang Ji's face and asked with a sneer. Seeing that Tang Ji opened his lips a few times, but couldn't spit out a word, he continued to say it: "Since you don't want to say it yourself, I'll say it for you,

The so-called internal political cultivation means that you, the close ministers of the king, recruiting soldiers is to expand his own strength, and regaining the eastern Zhejiang province is to make contributions. Think about it, who did the King of Yue usurped the title and gathered him in the past? Dong Zhen advised him many times, which made the king angry. If he hadn't been the king's follower, he would have died long ago. How could he not hate those who persuaded him to advance? Most of his generals and subordinates had old grudges with you. Now they have the power to spare you?"

Luo Tuan asked questions like a series of beads, Tang Jiu looked pale, like a dead person. After a while, he stammered: "I do these things according to the king's wishes. Everyone knows them. Besides, most of the accumulated wealth is in the king's treasury. Dong Zhen's smart person would not understand. Besides, the king is still there and the king is protecting me, would it be that Dong Zhen dare to hurt me?"

Luo Tuan was so angry that he laughed. After a while, he pointed at Tang Ji and said bitterly: "Tang Ji, Tang Ji, why are you smart and confused for the rest of your life? Think about it, Dong Zhen knows that what you do is instructed by the king, but aren't you a better scapegoat? Besides, the king is not as good as you did at that time." Speaking of this, Luo Tuan walked to Tang Ji and whispered: "Now most of the military power in Yuezhou City is in the hands of Dong Zhen, and this person has always been the morale of the army. Now the king drinks excessively and kills innocent people all day long. Everyone in the city has a grudge. I am afraid that Dong Zhen will raise his arms and respond. Not to mention that it is your mere Tang Ji, even if the king is killed together, what's wrong with it?"

"What, he dares to kill his father." Tang Ju was so scared by Luo Tuan's words.

"What's the matter? Dong Chang usurped the title and was originally a traitor who could kill everyone. Dong Zhen killed him, which was to make trouble and destroy relatives for justice. Secondly, he could seize the power of Zhejiang and become the leader of himself. Isn't that far better than being under others' hands now, and relying on others in everything."

"But the king is his subordinate father. If this position is not his in a hundred years, can there be others?" Tang Jiu's voice became increasingly weak. There was a voice in his heart that agreed with Luo Tuan's words. Deep in his heart, he also felt that if he was in that case, he would do this, but this idea was too terrible and he dared not think about it.

"It's just a father. Even if it's a personal father, what's the point? Emperor Taizong killed his brother and slaughtered his brother. If Emperor Gaozong didn't follow, he would be afraid he wouldn't be able to let go. He took care of the emperor's family without a father and son, let alone just a father." Luo Tuan's words became more and more determined. Tang Ji sat down on the ground with a look of despair on his face, and murmured: "What should I do? This morning, the court agreed to Dong Zhen's decision. Now that he has the power of military power, the king cannot control him. It seems that I can only close my eyes and wait for death."
