Chapter 698

"We just need to give him some money."

"As long as he accepts our money, he will do things for us."

"If Duan Yu returns later, we can just use this filthy creature to directly check Duan Yu, which will save us from having to take action ourselves."

"When we broke through Bo Cai's main camp before, we seized quite a bit of money; we can just take a portion and give it to him."

Zhu Jun immediately nodded: "What Zishi said is correct; there is no such thing as a eunuch who doesn't covet wealth."

Wang Yun and Zhu Jun had already nodded, so Huangfu Song could only follow suit.

After the three reached a consensus, Wang Yun immediately sent someone back to the Inspector's Mansion to prepare the money.

Not long after, the group arrived at Wang Yun's Inspector's Mansion.

Accompanied by the three, Zuo Feng arrived at the main hall of Wang Yun's Inspector's Mansion.

When Zuo Feng walked into Wang Yun's main hall,

the first things to catch his eye were several wooden chests.

Wang Yun walked behind Zuo Feng, laughed, stepped forward, pointed at the wooden chests, and said: "Eunuch Zuo, here are three million coins; it is a token of our sincerity. Please accept it, Eunuch Zuo."

Zuo Feng was taken aback.

Then he looked at Wang Yun with some surprise.

Wang Yun was giving a gift.

This clearly meant he had a request.

Only.

Zuo Feng's gaze only swept over the wooden chests before he looked at Wang Yun with extreme disdain.

Three million coins?

An Inspector, a Right General of the Household, and a Left General of the Household.

The three of them together brought out three million coins?

That averages to only one million coins each?

Isn't this... isn't this just dismissing a beggar?

Every time Duan Yu entered the palace, his gifts were never less than five million coins.

Zuo Feng was not a fool.

Could Zuo Feng not know what it meant for these people to give him a gift?

Wang Yun, Zhu Jun, and Huangfu Song were all students and former subordinates of Yang Ci and Yuan Kui.

Wang Yun stood where he was, wearing a smile, pointing at the wooden chests, still waiting for Zuo Feng to accept the money.

However, Zuo Feng's next sentence directly shattered Wang Yun's plan.

"Inspector Wang, what is the meaning of this?" Zuo Feng said with a straight face: "Are you trying to bribe me with this money?"

Wang Yun's expression stiffened immediately.

Even Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song were a bit confused.

This isn't right.

Shouldn't this young eunuch happily accept the money?

"Inspector Wang, don't use these things to bribe me and think that I won't report what I see and hear here back to His Majesty."

"I am a person who speaks the truth; how could I be moved by this money?"

Zuo Feng said while waving his hand: "Inspector Wang, you should hurry up and put these things away."

"If someone sees this, they might think I am accepting your bribes."

Wang Yun turned to stone on the spot.

A eunuch who doesn't accept bribes?

Isn't this a fantasy?

Is there a eunuch in this world who doesn't accept bribes?

Wang Yun felt he must have misheard.

But seeing Zuo Feng walk directly into the main hall and pass by the wooden chests placed in the middle of the hall without even glancing at them, Wang Yun was completely bewildered.

It wasn't just Wang Yun; Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song were also extremely surprised.

On the way back just now, Wang Yun was still full of confidence and firm in his words.

He had a plan to use Zuo Feng to suppress Duan Yu.

But the plan had only just begun, and it was already shattered.

Wang Yun signaled to Zhu Jun and then lowered his voice: "It seems this Zuo Feng came with His Majesty's imperial decree."

"I estimate that this decree is extremely unfavorable to us."

"Let's present the achievements of defeating the rebels first."

Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song immediately nodded in agreement.

Previously, one of them had been defeated by Bo Cai, and the other had been besieged by Bo Cai in Changshe.

The news reached Luoyang, and this time Zuo Feng must have come with the Emperor's decree reprimanding them for their poor performance in battle.

It seems the only way is to resolve this point first.

At this time, Zuo Feng had already arrived at the front of the hall.

Wang Yun immediately stepped forward and bowed to Zuo Feng: "Eunuch Zuo, I have a military achievement that I am about to present."

"Since Eunuch Zuo is here, it is just right..."

"Report~"

Before Wang Yun could finish his words,

a soldier rushed in from behind.

The soldier's report interrupted Wang Yun's words, causing everyone to turn and look at the soldier.

"Reporting to the Lord and Generals, a military force has arrived outside the city." The soldier knelt on one knee and said.

Wang Yun, Zhu Jun, and Huangfu Song all turned around at the same time.

"What military force?" Wang Yun asked with a frown: "Did you see clearly? Are they rebel soldiers?"

The soldier shook his head hurriedly and said: "Reporting to the Lord, they are not rebel soldiers, but a cavalry force of several thousand."

"The flags they are carrying are those of the Liangzhou army."

Wang Yun frowned.

The Liangzhou army?

Is it that force of Duan Yu's troops that was at the Xunshui River yesterday?

Before Wang Yun could ask again, the soldier had already said: "The City Gate Commandant sent an order saying it is the Liangzhou army, and they have the 'Duan' battle flag."

Duan Yu!

Duan Yu has arrived!

Wang Yun's eyes widened instantly.

Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song were also taken aback.

Duan Yu has arrived!

It seems Duan Yu was indeed hiding nearby.

Yesterday, they must have crossed the Xunshui River one after the other.

Duan Yu coming to Yangzhai at this time is likely here to compete with them for credit.

However...

He arrived just in time.

Wang Yun narrowed his eyes.

Looking at Zuo Feng, upon hearing Duan Yu's name, his tense expression immediately softened.

"Inspector Wang, since General Duan has arrived, that is just right. Please hurry and invite General Duan to come."

Outside Yangzhai City,

eight thousand Liangzhou soldiers had all arrived at the foot of the city.

Duan Yu, taking the lead, held a horse whip in one hand.

Behind Duan Yu, Tie Shitou, Wang Hunu, Lu Bu, Cao Cao, Gao Shun, Qu Yi, Cao Ren, and Xia Houyuan and others followed neatly on their warhorses. ===== CHAPTER 700 =====
