"After my father returned that year, he was accused of crossing Guan and Tianjin privately because he missed the Guan ultimatum and was beaten with a cane." Sitting in the guest seat of Zuo Chengling's mansion, Lou Xing wiped away tears. .
This scene made Dongfang Li feel even more guilty. If it weren't for his sudden illness, why would Lou's ancestors be like this?
"By the way, where is Mr. Dongfang?" Lou Xing retracted his movements, raised his head and asked, "I was in the north before, and I often heard about Mr. Dongfang. He was really powerful."
Dongfang Li smiled and said, "He was still young at that time and had not yet been crowned. But he will definitely be happy when he knows that his old friend is coming. He is not in Chengdu now and has stayed in Jiangnan to guard."
Even Dongfang Li himself didn't expect that his brother, who was like a nerd when he was young, would become so powerful. Of course, he is proud.
"Brother Lou, what are your plans after entering Chengdu?"
"As you know, all my family members who stayed in the north are dead. Now that I have entered Shu, after some time, I plan to do some small business to make a living."
"Brother Lou, I still have some connections here in Chengdu. When the time comes, I will think of some ways to buy a shop for you on the streets of Chengdu."
"Thank you, Mr. Dongfang." Lou Xing stood up quickly and knelt on the ground. His expression and movements were full of gratitude.
"By the way, Mr. Dongfang, I brought some specialties with me on this trip south. When my mother was still alive, she had been saying that if I had a chance... I must meet this world-famous little gentleman."
Dongfang Li's face was moved.
"Please give it a try, Mr. Da."
Dongfang Li declined, took a piece of bacon, hesitated for a moment, and slowly ate it into his mouth. Although he is not as talented as his younger brother, he has a reputation for being gentle and modest. Even when he was poor and had to be a tenant, he always taught his younger brother not to lose his desire to learn.
Even now, my younger brother has achieved something... Every time he comes home, he always warns him not to be arrogant and betray the kindness of the King of Shu——
Dongfang Li coughed violently. Suddenly, his eyes felt drowsy, and something seemed to be in his throat, crawling into his belly.
"Mr. Big." Lou Xing hurriedly approached and patted him a few times. After a while, Dongfang Li's expression recovered.
"Brother Lou, it's funny, I never like bacon." Dongfang Li apologized, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a few sips before his expression softened.
"Brother Lou, I've asked someone to prepare a banquet, why don't we sit down together -"
"Mr. Da, I have to rush back to the post house and wait two days before visiting." Lou Xing smiled.
"In that case, I will sweep the bed and wait."
"That's easy to say."
After walking out of Zuo Chengling's mansion, Lou Xing did not return to the post house. Instead, he calmly disappeared into the bustling market and disappeared.
…
"Sun Xun, have you discovered anything?" Xu Mu frowned at the Chengdu Palace. At the post house, Tai Shuyi helped to screen them and found that among the ten border residents who entered Shu, one named Lou Xing was missing.
Then there is no doubt that this Lou Xing is the last move to win.
"Lord, I didn't find anything. I captured several people on the iron torture platform, but they all committed suicide by biting the poison."
"Six Heroes, tell me, what will he do when he enters Shu?"
"It is most likely that he wants to assassinate the lord, or to kill the young master, so that our Western Shu will fall into turmoil. Then, Beiyu will definitely tear up the three-year agreement and attack Shu wantonly."
"What a vicious trick." Xu Mu sneered. Not only he, the King of Shu, but also Xu Qiao were protected by many secret guards. For example, if the martial slave Ah Qi, who was the fastest swordsman in the world, dared to enter Shu to assassinate him, he would be crushed to pieces.
"Six Heroes, what do you mean, is he looking for an opportunity?"
"Pretty much."
"Sun Xun, I leave this matter to you. I'll give you five days. If you don't turn the person over, I'll let Brother Tiger whip you himself!"
When Sun Xun heard the sound, his expression quickly froze. After cupping his fists, he ran out without looking back.
"Lord, I'm going to count the number of secret guards." Yin Hu also clasped his fists. In the past, Yin Hu was the real leader of the secret guards. He was responsible for the selection of many heroes.
After walking a few more steps, Yin Hu suddenly remembered something again.
"By the way, my lord, I also heard something."
"What's the matter?"
"The younger military advisor's brother, Dongfang Li, who was ordered by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Chengdu, suddenly fell seriously ill. Chen Que, the miracle doctor, has already rushed over. The steward of Dongfang Mansion also sent a letter to Jiangnan, presumably to tell the young advisor that his brother was seriously ill. Something. Maybe the little military advisor will come back."
"Six Heroes, I understand." Xu Mu was silent and nodded. Dongfang Jing's elder brother, although not very talented, was good-natured and was appointed as the internal affairs order of Chengdu to manage various matters in the market.
…
"Sometimes, I don't quite understand the secret of the art of hating victory. But according to what Lou Xing and I discussed before, the lame man's brother is seriously ill and will die. No matter what, he will definitely return to Chengdu. He's back. Chengdu Mansion, after asking about the passage, I have to pick up the parchment with the poem on it."
"Commander, is the parchment coated with poison?"
Chang Sheng shook his head, "I told you, I don't quite understand. But according to Lou Xing, as long as the lame man touches the parchment, and then touches his brother's hand, the disease of aversion to winning will be completely eliminated." Transformed into the lame man's body. In the final analysis, the borrowing in the art of aversion to victory is to treat the lame man's brother as an object."
Yan Pi curled his lips.
"Yan Pi, do you find it troublesome?"
"Little military advisor, how could I have such an idea..."
"I tell you, assassination is absolutely impossible in Western Shu. Don't forget that King Xu Shu has another level of identity."
"The leader of the world?"
"Exactly. With this kind of status, assassination is basically unnecessary. And Lou Xing is the best move."
"So, military advisor, do you want to dispatch a large army and rush to Kezhou immediately? By the way, my lord also needs a quick horse to fly the book."
"My lord, I have already sent a letter. As for the dispatch of the army, it is not the time yet. You have to understand that the lame man Dongfang Jing is an extremely cautious person. When Kezhou changes and it is difficult to balance loyalty and filial piety, it is impossible to say He will not return to Chengdu, but will stay in Jiangnan."
"Just keep it as it is. When the lame man is really dead, it will be too late for the three armies to move again."
"The little military advisor...is really a genius in the world."
"I can't count, I'm just a treacherous villain." Chang Sheng's eyes were filled with pain, "I hope this time, the big plan can come true. Kill the cripple Dongfang Jing, and then we, Beiyu, will be settled. The political situation in Xishu, even if I bury my son No matter how much, if there is no promotion of military merit, it will be in vain."
…
In the green mountains outside Chengdu, a man covered with a bamboo hat stood in the mountain wind with his hands behind his hands, looking coldly at everything below. Under his waist, there was an animal skin package tied. There was already unknown blood seeping out of the surface of the animal skin.
