Chengdu, Changyuan Street. The residence street for the official family members was outside Zuo Chengling's Mansion. Soon, it was crowded with more people. Even Si Hu, who had just returned, also ran over crying after hearing the news.
"Brother Mu, what's the matter? What's the matter, little military advisor?"
Xu Mu burst into tears. If it weren't for Yin Hu's support, he would have staggered to the ground.
Chen Que, the miracle doctor, seemed to have lost his mind. As soon as he walked outside the house, he knelt down towards Xu Mu.
"King Shu... I don't know what's going on. As soon as the young military advisor entered the house, he started coughing up blood and convulsing. The symptoms are the same as his brother's. I'm afraid, I'm afraid I won't be able to save him!"
As soon as these words came out, the long street outside the mansion was filled with countless sad cries. In less than a month, they first lost the poisonous owl, and now, they also lost the little military advisor from the East.
Xu Mu closed his eyes and hurriedly walked towards the house. But at this moment, he was stopped by Chen Que.
"King of Shu, if your guess is correct, this is most likely a witchcraft! Please stay here, King of Shu, and don't get involved in bad things!"
Even if Xu Mu wanted to enter, he was surrounded by people blocking him. Si Hu vaguely understood something, turned pale with fright, and hugged Xu Mu's thigh tightly.
A strong wind blew up on the street, and the sounds of crying came and went all around, with no end in sight.
When the bamboo frame was used to lift the body out, a strong wind blew and Dongfang Jing suddenly appeared in front of everyone with his face covered in blood and not breathing.
Xu Mu couldn't bear to watch anymore, so he let others help him, crying all the way, and staggered back to the palace.
"Hey, little military advisor, I, Si Hu, want a white-haired man to give away a black-haired man." Si Hu knelt in the street, beating his chest in pain, his eyes swollen from crying.
"I sent it to old Zhuge, then to the old military advisor, and now I'm going to give it to you, the little military advisor... As long as you, the little military advisor, come back to life, I, Sihu, am willing to eat two steamed buns a meal and not drive piles for a year, my little military advisor! "
For Sihu, this was almost the most poisonous oath.
It really makes the listeners sad and the listeners shed tears. For a moment, the crowd outside Zuo Chengling's mansion cried even more miserably.
Outside Chengdu, under the dark sky.
Sun Xun led more than a hundred masters and was so angry that he cursed his mother. According to Xu Mu's instructions, he wanted to hunt down that damn Lou Xing. Seeing that the deadline was coming, Shahu was about to whip him.
"Commander Sun, as a herb collector, there is a hidden old cave behind the mountain, and the smell of blood often comes out."
Sun Xun was overjoyed when he heard this. He immediately called for his troops and hurried over the mountain in an encirclement and suppression arrangement.
…
Six or seven days later, the information from Chengdu reached Chang Sheng’s ears.
"Is the lame man really dead?"
"According to the instructions of the young military advisor, the five people on the iron torture platform were all strangers to each other, but the news they received was indeed the same. The lame man's body had been carried out from the Prime Minister's Mansion at that time. Now in Chengdu, the whole country is grieving together, and the general of Western Shu, Yin Hu, has already taken the lead and is rushing to Lingzhou to take up his post."
"Okay!" Chang Sheng's voice was clearly trembling. Even deep down in my heart, I felt an unspeakable sense of loss. But soon, it returned to normal.
"Military advisor, do you want to immediately tear up the three-year agreement and attack Shu!"
Chang Sheng pondered for a moment, "Send an order to Jiang Meng and Shentu Guan, asking them to use the pretext of suppressing rebellion to say that there are rebels hiding in Xishu, and immediately rectify the army and press forward to the border of Xishu as a vanguard."
"My lord, I will advise him to rush back to Changyang first and take charge of the attack on Shu."
"Military advisor, will the Lord agree?"
"The general trend of the world has reached this point. We, Beiyu and Xishu, are clearly at odds with each other. My lord is a smart man and will definitely understand the truth."
"Breaking the contract and attacking Shu will probably make the people of the world dissatisfied. But now is the best opportunity." Chang Sheng closed his eyes.
From the moment Lou Xing entered Shu, he knew that this plan was more than half successful. Moreover, the five iron execution platforms, which were unknown to each other, all brought the same information, which meant that Dongfang Jing was indeed dead.
"Jiang Meng, please be more careful when sending orders. If I remember correctly, Miao Tong, the governor of Western Shu, is still with the navy at the Yandao area of Wuzhou. As long as we don't alert the snake, we can do it as quickly as possible. Crossing the river, the chances are still very good.”
"Who would have thought that Beiyu's real intention is to take the opportunity to conquer Shu!"
…
In the Chengdu Palace, Xu Mu looked expressionless and looked coldly at the map spread out in front of him. Yin Hu went to the front line. At this time, the only person sitting in front of him was puppy Fu.
Little Dog Fu raised his head in confusion, his eyes still red and swollen, "Master, how can I see that Beiyu will take the opportunity to attack Shu."
"The little military advisor said it."
"Little military advisor..."
Not long after, in the screen behind the palace, Dongfang Jing, who looked pale, was supported by two secret guards and sat on a chair.
"Bolie, how do you feel?"
"Chen Quezhen is a miracle doctor in the world. He can use acupuncture to lock my Qi meridians for more than half an hour. Now I have no other problems except physical fatigue."
Looking at the two people in front of him, Puppy Fu was stunned.
"Gou Fu, just get used to it slowly... This skill was taught by your teacher." Xu Mu comforted him. According to Chen Que, what Eastern Rites talks about is not a witchcraft, but the art of aversion to victory in the north. As long as the disease is strangled so that it cannot infect others, it can be slowly resolved.
Coupled with Dongfang Jing's great wisdom, after listening to Chen Que's words, he thought about it and stopped touching anything. On the contrary, even if his brother Dongfang Li can be cured, his body will be extremely weak in the future.
But seriously speaking, the situation at that time was indeed extremely dangerous. As long as it takes two hours and the disease seeps into Dongfang Jing's body, this crippled strategist who is one of the most famous in the world will die.
Fortunately it didn't happen.
"Dongfang Military Advisor, how did you determine that... Beiyu wants to conquer Shu?"
At this moment, Dongfang Jing's face suddenly turned cold for the first time.
"Before leaving Jiangnan, I specifically asked Ma Yi to write letters every day. Therefore, I can know that Jiang Meng in Kezhou on the other side has not made any move."
"This is very strange." Dongfang Jing frowned, "Although I am a bit arrogant, according to the truth, after I, Dongfang Jing, left Jiangnan, Jiang Meng was a famous general in the world. Even if he did not cross the river to attack, he should send more spies. Ship, detect my traces.”
"But he didn't. That means he most likely followed Chang Sheng's order and had a plan in mind."
Xu Mu couldn't help but nodded.
"If I really die, the layout of Jiangnan will be in chaos. Combined with Jiang Meng's previous style, there is no doubt that what Changsheng wants... is to break the contract and attack Shu. Even if he cannot swallow the entire Western Shu, he can still fight a lot A blow."
"In Miao Tong in Yandao, a few days ago, I had secretly ordered him to take a detour from the river to prepare for the counterattack against the Beiyu Navy."
Xu Mu, who was at the side, also calmly followed up and said, "For the same reason, I also sent a fast horse Feishu to Chai Zong in Dingzhou, telling him to organize his army and guard it carefully."
Dongfang raised his head in admiration, with murderous intent in his eyes.
"What Teacher is best at is taking advantage of the enemy's tactics. This time, if we follow our example, if we can succeed in the counter-suppression, we will not only gain a great reputation, but also severely weaken the strength of the Beiyu Navy."
"Dingzhou defends tightly and Jiangnan counterattacks. This time, it's time for Miao Tong, the governor of the capital, to make a name for himself."
In the palace, the eyes of the three people were full of understanding and expectation.
Xu Mu suddenly thought of something.
"Gou Fu, how are Si Hu these days?"
"What else can I do? I thought the little military advisor was really dead, and my eyes were swollen from crying."
…
Si Hu had just bought a drawer of steamed buns on Guanjuan Street. When he passed by the Prime Minister's Mansion, which was hung with white silk ribbons, he felt sad for a moment, and then he said "Wow" and burst into tears.
