Even though entering Tianjin city was not smooth, meeting Wang Daozhi was very smooth. Even Liu Jingting never thought that he would meet Wang Daozhi on the night of staying in the inn.

Zheng Keyou was originally from Tianjin. In addition, he has been an official in Nanzhili for many years, so the local relationship is still not normal. In addition, with Su Jun's operation, it is still possible to contact key officials. Afterwards, Liu Jingting quickly returned to the inn. Unexpectedly, after dark, someone came to inform him to see Wang Daozhi.

After entering Tianjin, Wang Daozhi lived in a separate courtyard, not in the government office, nor in the official post, nor did he live in the same place as Chen Xinjia. So many soldiers suddenly poured into the city of Tianjin, and the common people were killed. There are still quite a few people who are forced to relocate, at least they need to make room for those generals to live in.

After dark, the city of Tianjin was under martial law, and ordinary people were not allowed to go to the streets at all. The reason why Liu Jingting was able to see Wang Daozhi and not be questioned by the patrolling soldiers on the street was because he was riding in an official sedan chair. The sergeant will not ask and investigate the official sedan chair.

The official sedan chair stopped before reaching a courtyard.

When Liu Jingting was about to come down, two strong men lifted the curtain in front of the sedan chair. One of them held a black cloth in his hand. Before Liu Jingting could speak, the two strong men blindfolded Liu Jingting. on.

After being supported by two strong men for a while, Liu Jingting felt that he had entered a room.

"I am Wang Daozhi. What do you want to see me do?"

Liu Jingting was very uncomfortable with the black cloth covering his eyes. He never thought of meeting in this way. As for whether the other party is Wang Daozhi, he didn't know.I don't know where I am, and it is obviously impossible to talk under such circumstances.

"Dare to ask my lord, if I can remove the black cloth on this face."

The response to Liu Jingting was silence. At this time, Liu Jingting couldn't bear it anymore, and spoke again.

"I'm just alone. Is it possible that Mr. Wang is afraid? If we talk in this way. I don't have anything to say, so please send Mr. Wang back."

At this time, the voice finally rang again.

"Liu Jingting, you are not alone. I already knew about it. You were able to enter the city of Tianjin and see me so quickly, which shows that you have great energy. Of course, I am a little worried."

Liu Jingting laughed out loud.

"I don't have such ability, I don't have the power to restrain a chicken. I came here on behalf of the imperial court. If you want to say that this influence comes from the Jin court and the emperor."

"Liu Jingting, you talk so nonsense, aren't you afraid that I will kill you? The emperor of my Ming court is still in the capital, so I can escort you to the capital and let the emperor deal with it."

"Since I dared to go to Tianjin alone and saw Mr. Wang, I didn't think about saving my life. What Mr. Wang is willing to do is Mr. Wang's choice, but I just want to remind you that if you really want to do this, you should consider yourself. What kind of punishment will you receive?"

The room fell silent again, and after a while, a voice came.

"Okay, you can take off the black cloth on your face."

It was a different voice, very authoritative, Liu Jingting was very surprised, before he had time to think, he stretched out his hand and tore off the black cloth covering his face.

After a while, Liu Jingting saw clearly the two people in the room. Both of them were wearing ordinary uniforms, and they couldn't tell what their rank was, but judging from the aura they displayed, they were by no means ordinary people. Liu Jingting suddenly felt He had a premonition that these two people were probably Chen Xinjia and Wang Daozhi. If that was the case, the difficulty of his trip would suddenly increase.

According to the previous plan, Liu Jingting first met with Wang Daozhi, and then tried to meet Chen Xinjia after the conversation. If Wang Daozhi's attitude was vague and he did not completely refuse to surrender, then he could go to see Chen Xinjia. According to the meaning of the Jin court, there is no need to continue the conversation.

But it is not a good situation for Chen Xinjia and Wang Daozhi to show up at the same time. Most people can think that if they have the intention of submitting to the Jin Dynasty, they will never show up at the same time.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Jingting spoke.

"At Xialiu Jingting, dare to ask the two adults..."

A fat man spoke.

"This is Mr. Chen Xinjia. My official is Wang Daozhi. I heard that you want to see us. If you have anything to do, you might as well just say it."

Liu Jingting looked at the two of them carefully, his body trembled slightly, he already felt that today's discussion might be hopeless, if it is not done well, he may not be able to save his life.

"I came to pay a visit to the two adults, the main thing is to ask the two adults to seriously consider whether to submit to the court, so as to avoid the consequences of burning jade and stone together..."

"Okay, if you came here for this matter, you don't need to say more. How can I do such a thing of betrayal after receiving the emperor's grace in this world? If it weren't for your identity, this official would not You're being polite, but it's late at night, and the interrogation outside is very strict, for the sake of safety, Mr. Liu will stay here overnight."

After Chen Xinjia finished speaking, he turned and left without looking at Liu Jingting.

Wang Dao looked straight at Liu Jingting, sighed lightly, and turned to leave.

Liu Jingting's expression changed. He knew that he was being imprisoned. When he would be able to leave here, and even if he would be able to see the sunshine outside, it was all uncertain. The envoy, perhaps considering this point, Chen Xinjia and Wang Daozhi did not act immediately, but who knows what will happen later, besides, I still have a lot of insights, and I want to report it to the emperor.

Of course Liu Jingting cherished his own life, but when he had to sacrifice his life, he couldn't help it.

Soon after dawn, Qu Qingze, who was stationed in Jinghai, found out about Liu Jingting's arrest.

Qu Qingze turned pale with anger, and hurried over to report to Su Tiancheng.

There was no expression on Su Tiancheng's face. After listening to Qu Qingze's report, he spoke slowly.

"How do you think such a situation should be dealt with?"

"Your Majesty, I think that Chen Xinjia and Wang Daozhi are too arrogant and unwilling to surrender, so let's fight with real knives and guns to see who is stronger. What kind of thing is it to detain Liu Jingting like this? I suggest that Tianjin City be dealt with immediately. Go on the offensive."

Qu Qingze didn't directly talk about Liu Jingting's life. In fact, Liu Jingting's entry into Tianjin meant danger. It was the same when he entered Nanjing City last time. It is very likely to lose his life. The emperor cannot ask the emperor to directly protect Liu Jingting. life.

Su Tiancheng shook his head lightly.

"Let the dark lines in Tianjin tell Chen Xinjia and Wang Daozhi that the two countries do not come to each other. This is the minimum rule. If the two of them don't follow this rule, don't blame me for not following the rules. They don't want to It doesn’t matter if you think you don’t care about your own life, and don’t think that I don’t care about Liu Jingting’s life. Don’t they still have family members? You can clearly tell the two of them that fighting on the battlefield, no matter how many people are killed or injured, is a fight against each other. My master does not involve personal grievances, but if they kill Liu Jingting, I will swear to kill their family and avenge Liu Jingting, you can tell Chen Xinjia and Wang Daozhi clearly about this point of view."

Qu Qingze nodded.

"Your Majesty, I suggest that they send Liu Jingting back immediately."

"Okay, but don't push too hard."

Qu Qingze turned around and went out to make arrangements.

Su Tiancheng fell into contemplation. He would never have thought that Chen Xinjia and Wang Daozhi would make such a choice. The army has been stationed in Jinghai for a day, and they have not prepared to launch an attack for a long time. It is because of Liu Jingting's persuasion However, it would be the best if he could not fight. It is unexpected that Chen Xinjia and Wang Daozhi are so loyal.

Deep down in his heart, Su Tiancheng didn't hate Chen Xinjia and Wang Daozhi so much. Thinking in another way, if he encountered a predicament, the officials below would all find their own way out, and it might not feel good in his heart. What is a true loyal person is that In times of crisis, Chen Xinjia and Wang Daozhi's performance is still very normal from this perspective.

However, there is a premise here, that is, those who know the current affairs are heroes, the Ming Dynasty is already in decline, and the Jin Dynasty, which was born out of nowhere, is stronger than the Ming Dynasty in any respect, and this point does not need to be proved up.

Su Tiancheng didn't have much impression of Chen Xinjia. It should be said that Zhu Youjian trusted Chen Xinjia very much. Otherwise, he would not have appointed Chen Xinjia as the governor of Liaodong to command the battle of the Golden Tartars after the counteroffensive. But for Wang Daozhi, Su Tiancheng Tian Cheng still felt regretful, Wang Daozhi had a good reputation when he was in Nanzhili.

When Hong Chengchou and others entered the room, Su Tiancheng had already made a decision.

"Hong Chengchou, I suggest that the army make all preparations today and start attacking tomorrow. It is planned to use two days to remove all obstacles outside the city of Tianjin, and take Tianjin city before the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, so that many soldiers can have a good time. "

"The minister obeys the order."

When Hong Chengchou was about to go out to make arrangements, Su Tiancheng spoke again.

"Liu Jingting was arrested by Chen Xinjia and Wang Daozhi. I suggested just now, don't force too much. It seems that this matter can't be delayed. You can send envoys to tell Chen Xinjia and Wang Daozhi directly to let them release Liu Jingting immediately. You can also tell They, the Jiangning battalion army will start attacking tomorrow, let them make all preparations." (To be continued...)
