In the autumn of 195, more than half a month had passed since He Sian and his party left Wudu. Xu Shu and Yang Ang walked out of the city guard mansion side by side. The warm sunshine shining on the body made people feel comfortable. After stretching, Xu Shu turned around and said apologetically: "The second general really plans to leave immediately? I heard that your brother plans to entertain you two brothers tonight. !”
"Master Xu is overly worried. When the lord returns from Yizhou, Lord Weiyang will marry the lord. Liangzhou is in chaos. If we take him back as soon as possible, we, the ministers, can rest assured. As for Brother Yang Song's Dinner and banquet..."
Yang Ang showed a look of disdain and continued: "To be honest, sir, these two people usually treat us and other branch disciples as servants because of their status as the main line. Ang heard that these two brothers were in Xuchang and spent the whole day There is a lot of fun and debauchery, and if my brother goes, he has already given them enough face!"
, Yang Ang was very unhappy with the main lineage of the Yang family. Before his brother was reused, he was ordered around like a servant by him. As the future heirs of the Yang family, Yang Song and Yang Bai were even more obsessed with it. Unable to extricate themselves from the intoxication of the Central Plains, these two people would not have returned if it had not been for the sudden rise of their brothers. Thinking of this, Yang Ang felt even more proud. Looking at the time, he could reach Meicheng tonight if he left now. After bidding farewell to Xu Shu, he went to the barracks outside the city to order troops for the expedition.
Looking at Yang Ang walking away, Xu Shu shook his head. Instead of taking the carriage, he walked to his mansion. When passing by the noisy markets on both sides, the vendors greeted him enthusiastically, and Xu Shu responded one by one.
'Unknowingly, everyone was infected by the Lord! '
Thinking of this, Xu Shu looked slightly dazed. Two years ago, he boasted that he was both civil and military, and he would definitely make great achievements in the future!
I want to look back, but I didn't expect this day to come so quickly. I feel sad when I think back to when I first met Xu Shu with my lord.
Who would have expected that the person who was supposed to be overlooking all living beings from the clouds would actually become brothers with him, and even kneel down in tears because of his terrifying death. Perhaps this is the reason why outstanding figures in the world such as Jia Xu and Li Ru are willing to die for them.
Thinking of these two people, Xu Shu couldn't help but sigh in his heart: 'I used to think very highly of myself, but compared with them I still looked too immature.'
"Brother Xu!!" A rough voice broke Xu Shu's thoughts. Looking intently, Xu Shu smiled and joked: "Marquis Li Wen, the head of your family has come to visit your mistress again? Is this to prepare for future visits?"
The strong man scratched his head and said helplessly: "There is no way. The weather is getting colder. The patriarch is worried that your mistress will catch a cold, so he brought some fine fox furs and came to visit! The patriarch should stay at the prefect's mansion tonight. Li We’ve already booked a hotel, so why don’t you have a drink with me before the curfew?”
Xu Shu happily agreed. Xu Shu and many of his colleagues knew about the relationship between the Yuchi patriarch and his lord, and many people were happy to see it happen. After all, the Xiaoyue clan was famous for being brave and good at fighting. The reason why Dong Zhuo was able to do so was so great. Quickly control the two states of Yongliang. A large part of the reason is that Beigong Boyu of Xiaoyue clan led his men to defect!
After nightfall, Xu Shu lay on the couch. Although he was half drunk, he still tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. He felt a little uneasy for some reason.
"There is an assassin!" Suddenly a loud shout broke the quiet night!
Xu Shu sat up suddenly. He was no longer drunk at this moment. He hurriedly put on his clothes and walked out of the inner house. He listened carefully and discerned the direction of the sound. Xu Shu couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart!
If you heard correctly, this voice should have come from He Sian's mansion.
'Could it be Li Wenhou and his party? 'A thought flashed through Xu Shu's mind, but she quickly dismissed it.
It shouldn’t be, there’s no reason! Without thinking too much, Xu Shu hurried out and saw a crowd of people on the street. All he looked at were some Wudu officials who were out to investigate.
After calling a group of patrolling soldiers, Xu Shu hurriedly ran towards He Sian's mansion with everyone! When he arrived at the gate of the mansion and heard that all the assassins had been killed, Xu Shu let out a sigh of relief. He seemed to have thought of something. He looked back and saw that Yang Ren was not there, so he ordered his soldiers to go search for him. Xu Shu sent the rest of the people away and rushed together. Yan Pu walked into He Mansion.
Since He Sian had many female relatives at home, the two of them just waited in the front hall!
About half the time of burning incense, Tang Ji sent her personal maid to the front hall. From her mouth, she learned that more than ten men in black suddenly entered the house at night and wanted to kidnap the young master Liu An. Fortunately, the Yuchi patriarch had been practicing martial arts for many years. The vigilance she developed enabled her to detect it in time.
With his superb martial arts skills, he quickly subdued the assassins, and these assassins were obviously dead soldiers. They decided to commit suicide after knowing that the mission failed and they could not escape!
After Xu Shu and Yan Pu looked at each other, they both saw shock and confusion in each other's eyes. What was shocking was the ruthlessness of these assassins. Such methods could only be cultivated by big forces or families! As for the confusion, it was their motive for taking action. It would be possible if He Sian was here, after all, his identity was there, but to take action against his relatives, this is puzzling!
Seeing that they could not find a clue for a while, the two people had the body taken to the Yamen for inspection. They ordered the defense to be strengthened and then left He Sian's mansion. After going out, Xu Shu looked at Yan Pu and asked, "Sir, what do you think of things here?"
Yan Pu thought for a moment after hearing this, and replied helplessly: "The incident happened suddenly, and Pu has no clue! But..." Yan Pu hesitated. Although he was senior, he could not overwhelm the guest. After all, Yan Pu was still nominally Zhang's subordinate. Under Lu Zhang, in modern terms, he was seconded to Wudu.
"Sir, it's okay to say it!" Xu Shu was also an understanding person, and he bowed his hands to the other party and said humbly.
Yan Pu organized his speech and said slowly: "There is no way to guess the opponent's purpose, but judging from the assassin's methods, not many can do it! Yuan Zhi is far smarter than Pu, so Pu starts from here. , tell Yu Yuanzhi for analysis! First of all, the first thing Pu thought of was what Chief Yuchi did!"
Hearing this, Xu Shu shook his head and said: "I have thought of it too, but this is impossible. If the Yuchi clan leader did this to deepen the relationship with my mistress, I would not believe it at all, not to mention that these dead men are obviously He is a Han Chinese, and he and his lord have a mutual affection for each other. If it is really what he did, once the matter is exposed, it will definitely be self-defeating."
"Then there are only surrounding forces and big families such as Yizhou and Liangzhou. This is difficult to determine. After all, the composition of Wudu's personnel is relatively complex!" Yan Pu said slowly.
Xu Shu closed his eyes and thought deeply. Yan Pu's words gave him a lot of hints.
Many thoughts flashed through Xu Shu's mind. Soon, the thoughts gradually came together and he murmured to himself: "There are only a few people who know the identity of the lord. At this time, the lord is far away in Yizhou, so his target should be... the young master." ! It’s not an assassination, it’s meaningless, he should be trying to kidnap the young master at night! As for the purpose, it is probably to please a certain force! And for someone who can take the risk of offending the lord, Yizhou Liu Yan is not even qualified, so The answer is ready to come out, no!'
