Chapter 160 Unfathomable Mind (three updates for votes)

With an uproar, everyone's surprised eyes turned to Liu Feng, as if they were puzzled by Liu Feng's refusal to accept the big pie that fell from the world.

Even Liu Ba was so shocked that he didn't know what to do.

Only the horse smiled and nodded secretly. Obviously, among the people present, only Ma Jian, like Liu Feng, saw through the trap behind this imperial edict.

Liu Feng openly refused to take the order. Jiang Gan, who had a solemn look, eased his expression, and an intriguing smile flashed on his face. It seemed that he had long been angry with Liu Feng's response, and he did not feel any surprise and anger.

"General Liu, this is your majesty's heart. Why don't you accept it?" Jiang Gan was asking knowingly.

Liu Feng smiled indifferently and arched his hand to Jiang Gan, "Please ask Jiang Angel to return to your majesty on your behalf. Liu Feng is young, virtuous and untalent, and does not dare to steal high positions. In addition, please tell Prime Minister Cao that my Liu Feng has always admired him. If he has a chance in the future, he will ask Prime Minister for advice.

Liu Feng rejected the emperor's appointment with the sentence "young age, no virtue and no talent", which is not disrespectful to the emperor. You should know that in this era, "rejecting officials" is still a virtue respected by scholars to a certain extent. Such as Cao Jian, Yuan Shao and others have rejected the conquest of the court several times when they were young. On the contrary, it has won the praise of public opinion.

Moreover, although Liu Feng euphemistically cracked Cao Wei's scheme, he did not say anything. The last sentence indirectly expressed a little friendship to Cao Wei.

In Liu Feng's view, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, and Liu Bei is Cao Qian's sworn enemy. In the near future, Sun Quan may also become his own enemy. At this time, it may not be helpful to establish a tacit understanding with Cao Qian to use Cao Qian to contain these two people in the future.

Jiang Gan laughed and said, "If this is the case, I will truthfully return to your majesty according to the general's words. As for the general's admiration for Prime Minister Cao, I will also convey it."

Jiang Gan said that he put the golden imperial edict in his arms. After a few actions, he had become gentle and elegant, which was completely different from the previous angel. As if he had just completed a task before, he had no choice but to do it. When the task was over, he immediately returned to his original appearance.

"Thank you for your understanding. Come on, go and arrange a banquet right away. I'm going to take Jiang Angel to wash the dust. Liu Feng has to do a lot of work for this face.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Gan shook his hand casually and said with a smile, "Don't bother the general. Now that the errands have been done, I won't bother you anymore. I'll leave now to rush back to Xudu."

In fact, Liu Feng didn't want to leave more Jiang Gan, so as not to be used by Liu Bei as a preemption and go to Sun Quan to sue himself, saying that he secretly connected with Cao Jian. Now that Jiang Gan is leaving by himself, Liu Fengsuo's surname is not retained, and now he personally sent Jiang Gan out of the city.

Out of the gate of the Zhennan General's Mansion, Liu Feng and Jiang Gan rode side by side and walked on the streets of Linxiang City.

Although Linxiang was besieged for several months and soaked in water, with Liu Feng's efforts, the whole city quickly came out of the shadow of war, commerce resumed prosperity, and the streets and alleys were full of living and working in peace and downs.

Jiang Ganyi walked by the roadside and observed. Seeing such a prosperous scene, he couldn't help sighing: "After a few months of war looting in Linxiang City, General Liu can restore the city to such prosperity. As the Prime Minister said, General Liu is indeed a rare hero in the world with both literature and martial arts. Ah."

Did Cao Qian say such a thing? Liu Feng is not sure, but Jiang Gan's flattery is still quite useful.

It's impolite to come and go. Liu Feng immediately replied, "Mr. Jiang is too much. Jingzhou is a place of right and wrong, but Mr. is in danger several times alone. Only with such courage can he really be called a hero."

Liu Feng's words were also half heartfelt words. Jiang Gan went all the way south from Xudu, crossed the area controlled by Eastern Wu and Liu Bei, ran thousands of miles to send the imperial edict to himself, and he was able to come all over his body. If he didn't have a little bit of weight, with Cao Qian's ability to know people, how could he send him on an envoy?

Praised by Liu Feng, Jiang Gan smiled and said nothing. Obviously, he was also comfortable in his heart.

The two riders walked slowly and gradually distanced themselves from the follower. Liu Feng turned around and suddenly said, "When it was time to announce the decree in the hall, it seemed that I had expected that I would refuse?"

Jiang Gan touched a few wisps of sparse beard and said with a smile, "Who is the general? He can play Liu Bei around. In this dead land of Jingnan, he has created a new world. How can a discordant plan deceive the general?"

It seems that Jiang Gan didn't care because he was seen through the scheme. Suo confessed to Liu Feng.

Liu Feng likes people who are frank. This Jiang Gan invisibly made him a little more favorable.

Suddenly, Liu Feng realized that things were not as simple as he had thought before. He wanted to know that there were many intelligent people around Cao Qian. Even Jiang Gan could see that this plan would be recognized by Liu Feng. He was as cunning as Cao Jian. Knowing this, why did he still use it?

Looking at the mysterious Jiang Gan, Liu Feng suddenly realized, and a chill surged on his back.

If Liu Feng was taken over by this imperial edict, it would naturally be in line with Cao Qian's intention, but Cao Qian's intention was by no means so simple.

The key lies in Jiang Gan.

Previously, Cao Qian sent Jiang Gan south to Jiangling to persuade Zhou Yu to surrender. Although Yu openly refused last week on the surface, Sun Quan, who was very suspicious, had a little ripples in his heart. This time, Cao Qian used the same means again to send Jiang Gan to Linxiang. Even if Liu Feng openly rejected Cao Qian's "beautiful intention", in the eyes of the outside world, it would still make people have a kind of speculation that Liu Feng secretly made with Cao Qian.

Moreover, at the beginning, Zhou Yu used to protect Liu Feng and prevent Liu Bei from attacking Linxiang. In the eyes of outsiders, Zhou Yu seemed to have something to do with Liu Feng, and the two of them were the same person Jiang Gan, and this person was Zhou Yu's classmate, which naturally aroused the reverie of some people with intentions.

All kinds of connections, Liu Feng Fangwu seemed to have seen through Cao Jian's scheme, but in fact, he unconsciously fell into the other party's more insidious scheme.

Cao's tricks are indeed extremely dangerous.

Liu Feng was still wondering whether he could secretly send Qiu Bo to Cao Jian and use Cao Jian, the "enemy's enemy" to make a profit from it. Now it seems that it is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger.

After thinking about this section, Liu Feng's face immediately became gloomy and said coldly, "The city house of Prime Minister Cao is really unfathomable. Mr. Jiang, do you think I should tie you up and send you to Wuhou for disposal?
