Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11254

Red Leaf Pass.

As Duan Hongyou sighed, the last glimmer of hope in his heart disappeared.

"What do you think, Brother Duan?" Hua Yuansu picked up the small teacup in his hand and took a sip. The carriage was very spacious and bright, and luxuriously decorated. It was very stable to sit in it, and one didn't even feel the carriage moving.

This kind of luxurious carriage is relatively rare even in the upper aristocratic circles.

Duan Hongyou was also drinking tea. He savoured it carefully but did not reply immediately.

He was still thinking about the pros and cons of the situation.

Being disappointed with Yang Yuanhua does not mean that he must abandon Yang immediately.

What he needs to consider now is the interests of the Yang family itself.

"We can meet."

After a short while, Duan Hongyou opened his eyes again and spoke slowly.

"Okay, I'll arrange it."

Hua Yuansu nodded. Having said that, basically the next step is to follow the process.

As night fell, Duan Hongyou met his "special envoy" in the arranged hall.

The envoy was wearing a black robe and did not cover himself in any way, exposing his face.

"Mr. Duan, it's not easy for us to meet."

The special envoy stared at Duan Hongyou with a pair of eyes like an eagle's eyes.

"Master Special Envoy, are you a Grandmaster Warrior?"

Duan Hongyou appeared calm on the surface, but the very moment he asked this question, he revealed his inner unrest.

"How did you know that?" The special envoy was Bai Suxie from Kaiyang of the Skynet organization. Of course, he was now under the command of Luo Xingchen.

"Temperament and bearing. I have seen two Grandmaster warriors before. The Special Envoy's bearing is very similar to theirs."

Of course, there is one point that Duan Hongyou did not say, which is that he believed that as a special envoy who dared to come to Hongye Pass, he would not dare to appear easily without sufficient personal strength.

"Since Mr. Duan has already seen it, I will not hide it."

"Yes, I am a master, but my martial arts skills are not important. I am here to discuss important matters with Mr. Duan." Kaiyang Bai Suxie said lightly.

It was not easy for him to sneak into Hongye Pass. Even though he was a master warrior, it was impossible for him to pass freely in the heavily guarded Hongye Pass without someone to pick him up.

It was the Hua family who came to support him.

The Hua family has a huge influence within Hongye Pass and also has considerable influence in the military. Many middle-level officers are related to the Hua family.

"I know what the special envoy wants to discuss, but our Duan and Yang families have been relatives for generations..." Duan Hongyou pondered.

"We can guarantee the safety of your Duan family. As long as you don't resist, we will treat you leniently." Kaiyang Bai Suxie smiled slightly.

"Manager Luo is magnanimous and generous. He is indeed a blessing to the dawn."

Duan Hongyou sighed and shook his head, but did not give in.

"We will not take a penny of the Duan family's wealth, and we will give the Duan family a list of people who will be pardoned. Even if they are members of the Yang family, as long as they are not the core members of Yang Yuanhua, we can pardon them if the Duan family is willing to protect them." Kaiyang Bai Suxie offered better conditions.

"In this case, the Duan family would rather obey your orders."

With the price raised to this point, Duan Hongyou had nothing more to say.

Security and wealth are all preserved, and there is even more power. If one still wants to bargain, it would be a bit ungrateful.

"Let them discuss the specific details."

Kaiyang Bai Suxie certainly did not come alone, he brought a whole team with him, so he didn't have to worry about the specific matters here.

Next, he was going to attend the banquet arranged by Hua Yuansu. Duan Hongyou hid his figure and left the hall.

He couldn't stay here for long because he couldn't guarantee that the Yang family wouldn't be monitoring them.

Therefore, it would be more appropriate for him to return to his own territory as soon as possible.

After Duan Hongyou left, Kaiyang Bai Suxie came to another hall nearby, where the wine table was already set.

The guests were all celebrities in the city.

They were all invited by Hua Yuansu himself.

"Please take a seat, everyone. Today we have so many guests. This is really a great joy for Hua."

Hua Yuansu is much younger than Duan Hongyou. He is 53 years old this year, and has a wide range of friends. Most of these people do not hold official positions, but they all have great influence in society.

One of them is Mr. Li Xiaoyang. He is not only the dean of the largest academy in the city, but also an expert in medicine. He can be said to be an expert in both literature and medicine. The others are inferior to him, but they also have their own reputations.

They knew each other, but when they entered the hall, they saw a strange face.

"Master Hua, who is this?"

Li Xiaoyang was a truly smart man. He realized something was wrong at the time and spoke up immediately.

"This is an important person I invited. Today's banquet is for this person."

Hua Yuansu did not hide anything. Since it had come to this, he had to carry out what he wanted to do next.

Of course, it is not perfect just with the Hua family and the Duan family.

If all these celebrities came to support, it would be completely different.

"Everyone, please take a seat."

There were not many people who came, only seven in total, and they are also seven celebrities who are currently in the opposition and do not hold any office.

After Hua Yuansu greeted him, he directly asked Kaiyang Baisu to sit down.

Li Xiaoyang and others were still talking at first, but after seeing this situation, they all stopped talking.

Not long after, Li Xiaoyang coughed. After all, he was the most senior among the group.

"Master Hua, if you want us to do something, please tell us directly. We dare not disobey you."

Li Xiaoyang had a look of ridicule and a wry smile on his face.

All of them have been "tricked" here. Can they leave alive if they don't cooperate today?

For such confidential matters, either don't get involved, or once you are involved, you have no choice but to go all the way and don't expect to turn back.

"Let me tell you."

Kaiyang Bai Suxie took over the leadership.

"Okay, sir, you go ahead and tell me."

Hua Yuansu's respectful tone immediately made Li Xiaoyang lose all his thoughts.

"You are all famous people in the city, so I will get straight to the point and introduce myself first."

"I am a special envoy of the secret guard sent by the Great Qi court. I am here to invite you all to discuss the matter of Hongye Pass."

"Mr. Li, tell me, can the Yang family hold on to Hongye Pass?"

Kaiyang Bai Suxie turned his gaze to Li Xiaoyang.

"It can't be defended. How can it be defended? As long as the imperial court besieges it for half a year, it will collapse without a fight."

Li Xiaoyang touched his beard with a wry smile. He would not tell lies. It was what it was.

Hongye Pass is originally a dead end, a desperate place, we can only defend it temporarily.
