Chapter 222 221 The Black Hand Appears Behind the Scenes?

The news that Princess Zhaoguo passed through Liangzhou and was recuperating here was like adding wings to the ears of countless caring people.

The aristocratic family moved upon hearing the news and visited one after another. In order to take into account the princess's personal safety, all the people who were originally resting outside were taken into the Liangzhou City Lord's Mansion.

The Inspector of Liangzhou presented the letter of greeting from the family, Cao Baifeng looked at it unhurriedly, seeing that the Inspector of Liangzhou hadn't retreated yet, he couldn't help but look at him.

The governor of Liangzhou was a strong man, tall and straight, he led the army in battles in the early years, and honed his aura of iron and blood. Although he was nearly forty years old, he looked like he was only about thirty at most.

With a white face and no beard, he is unsmiling, and there is a unique taste just by standing there.

As decent as Liangzhou's governor is, Cao Baifeng is as casual as he asked, "Is there anything else?"

The governor of Liangzhou pondered for a moment and said solemnly, "It's a blessing that the princess is temporarily staying in the city lord's mansion, but with so many aristocratic families coming to make friends and inquire, there will inevitably be people with ulterior motives among them.

"But we're only staying for a few days."

Cao Baifeng said slowly, "It's so important for the princess to come to our Great Wei to get married, even if the sky falls, we can't stay here for too long.

But you have also seen that one of our colleagues was injured, and we will leave this place when he recovers slightly. "

Cao Baifeng said that he bowed his hands to the governor of Liangzhou in a neutral manner, "It's just a few days of interruption, if you think we are troublesome, we can teach you some food expenses, and save Liangzhou a little bit."

This is simply a way of saying that the governor of Liangzhou is stingy.

The governor of Liangzhou didn't know if he heard the thorn in Cao Baifeng's words, but he nodded when he heard the words, "Although the imperial court will distribute a certain amount of subsidy funds in various cities, the princess is precious after all, I'm afraid this part of the money Not enough to entertain a princess."

The governor of Liangzhou said honestly, "To tell the truth, the official has even prepared to use this month to entertain the princess. Since Mr. Cao is willing to subsidize, the official will agree."

I don't know if it was an illusion of the governor of Liangzhou, but he felt that after he finished saying this, there was a burst of bell-like laughter from behind the veil hanging behind Cao Baifeng.

Innocent, yet inexplicable.

The governor of Liangzhou frowned, "Actually, I didn't come here for money."

He paused and then said, "Maybe Mr. Cao doesn't know, our Liangzhou is different from other places, here the aristocratic family is entrenched, except here, most of the land in Liangzhou belongs to the aristocratic family. So every family has the same circle Servant guard."

There is land, there are soldiers, and many forces are entrenched. Although this Liangzhou is remote, it is extremely dangerous.

"After you leave Liangzhou from here, you will have to travel a long distance, which is all in the hands of various families."

The governor of Liangzhou didn't seem to say anything clearly, and it seemed like he had already explained everything.

Only then did Cao Baifeng look at this person squarely, "Then according to what your lord wants..."

The governor of Liangzhou clasped his fists, "It's better to block it than to keep it out. Instead of letting a family stare at the princess, it's better to cut off the thoughts of all the families."

Cao Baifeng: "Then what are you going to do?"

"A banquet will be held in the City Lord's Mansion, and all the aristocratic families will be invited. After the banquet is over, everyone will set off on the road."

After the governor of Liangzhou left, Gu Aman slowly walked out from the curtain behind Cao Baifeng, and sat down beside Cao Baifeng, "You heard what he just said, what do you think?"

"No way."

Cao Baifeng didn't know what to think of after finishing speaking, and suddenly smiled, "What do you think of the governor of Liangzhou?"

Gu Aman thought for a while, "Zhou Zheng, rigid, and a little clever, unfortunately, Zhou Zheng is too much." Otherwise, he would not be old, and he would only be struggling in a small position of governor.

"You can't judge by appearance, my lord."

Cao Baifeng jokingly said, "If I say that this was once a high-ranking general who called the wind and rain in the army, can your Highness believe it?"

Gu Aman still feels that the phrase "Your Highness" sounds quite weird, but Cao Baifeng can shout it very naturally, as if he really looks like a princess.

As expected of the owner of the Diting Building, I think this guy took advantage of his superb disguise back then to be his cheap husband for a long time.

But for the sake of having free materials to listen to, Gu Aman can't care about other things, "Let's listen to it."

Speaking of which, the governor of Liangzhou is also considered a strange man, he entered the military camp as a young man, and struggled all the way to become a general.

I thought I would get ahead, but I was teased by my colleagues. The governor of Liangzhou beat up his colleagues in a rage. The opponent had a lot of power behind him. The governor of Liangzhou lost for a while, so he was demoted to Liangzhou. The place, when the governor is stationed.

Gu Aman listened with great embarrassment, the governor of Liangzhou only listened to the first half of the words, he is a typical general from a poor family.

But if you add the second half, it will become so dark in the officialdom.

"He's pretty miserable."

Cao Baifeng looked at her with a smile, "Then tell you something more interesting?"

Gu Aman asked naturally.

"Do you know who the person who demoted him to this place was?"

Gu Aman blinked curiously, and was about to actively ask, but suddenly closed his mouth, "It's not what I thought."

"What is Ah Man thinking?"

"Tell me, who exactly demoted him here?"

"Of course it's our nosy young master."

Gu Aman showed an expression that was as expected.

Let Liu Yuan do it himself, it seems that the governor of Liangzhou is not as clean as he looks.

"By the way, what did you say was the governor's last name?"

"orchid."

Cao Baifeng said, "Is his surname very special?"

The more he talked, the more playful his face became, "Speaking of which, I remember that there are a few classmates and friends around Ah Man who seem to have the surname Lan.

Ahhh, it seems that there is a kid named Lan Lianhu who even proposed marriage to Ah Man. "

Gu Aman was really startled now, she looked at Cao Baifeng with a tangled face, "Isn't it such a coincidence this time?"

Cao Baifeng smiled and said nothing, although he didn't want to admit it, but Gu Aman was curious about how much he had in common with the Lan family.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or intentional.

This governor of Liangzhou turned out to be the father of Lan Yishui and Lan Lianhu?
No, the two are not alike at all.

"It's normal that they're not similar."

Cao Baifeng said.

"Because our governor of Liangzhou, Zhou Zhengtai, has not married yet, but he has adopted more than a dozen adopted sons and daughters. Although they are not related by blood, he treats them very well, so that these people are scattered in the Wei Dynasty. Besides, I still don’t forget to keep in touch with their respected adoptive father.”

No matter how stupid Gu Aman is now, he can still hear the meaning of Cao Baifeng's words.

It's strange that the wedding reception team met Fu here, and the governor of Liangzhou was even more suspicious...
