"Aju——"
At the foot of Dawan Pass, a man wearing a scholar's robe suddenly felt cold and sneezed loudly.
"Master Zao, my lord has invited me."
Hearing this sentence, the man suddenly became angry, "I'll say it again, and I'll say it one last time. My surname is Huang, you can call me Master Huang, Master Huang, Mr. Huang, but don't call me Master Zao!"
The lieutenant who conveyed the message was lightly amused and did not care about it. He smiled and walked away.
"Humph." Huang Daochun snorted coldly, but quickly covered it up and walked cautiously towards the top of the city. Now, he is still in Dayuan Pass, and the King of Shu, Xu Mu, can take his life at any time. Talk about reuse... As long as you can let him go, it will be a great joy.
Thinking about it all the way, when he got closer to the city, Huang Daochun's expression turned pitiful again.
"Huang Daochun, pay homage to the King of Shu, and pay homage to the Eastern Little Military Advisor."
I thought that with this appearance, the King of Shu looked at him pitifully and couldn't help but be polite. Who would have expected that the King of Shu turned around and almost cursed his mother with his first sentence.
"Hey, Master Zao is here."
…
Sitting on the top of the city, Huang Daochun looked embarrassed. He didn't know what the King of Shu meant when he came to look for him this time.
Previously, I had almost exhausted all the things I should have asked.
"Master Zao, don't be surprised. I asked you to come here this time to reminisce about old times."
It's just a trivial matter, do you want to ask for advice on how to count the stoves back then?
Of course, Huang Daochun didn't dare to make any mistakes. When he was on the grassland, he never imagined that the "old friend" in front of him would actually become the master of half of the Central Plains.
"King Shu, if you have anything to do, please speak up. I know everything about the Sha Rong people." Huang Daochun hurriedly expressed his attitude.
"The people who asked you to come here this time are not from the Sha Rong people, but from the Beidi people."
"Beidi people? Even the royal court has been beaten to pieces by the Beidi people on this grassland."
"Of course." Xu Mu smiled, "I have thought about it for a long time and feel that Mr. Zao is a great talent after all."
"King Shu, these words, these words..." Huang Daochun looked excited.
Xu Mu narrowed his eyes, feeling disgust in his heart. Compared with his elder brother Lao Huang, Huang Daochun was at least ten blocks behind. Of course, if he was killed, Lao Huang would not have any blame on Jiuquan.
But now, because of Sha Rong's recent events, Xu Mu and Dongfang Jing have already had some discussions.
"Let me go back to the grassland..." Huang Daochun looked shocked, "King Shu, you must not do it. I ran away from the Sha Rong tribe this time. And I rebelled against the Beidi people before!"
"I'm not asking you to die, but to make meritorious deeds." Xu Mu smiled lightly, "Of course I want to give you a chance, but in Xishu, military merit is the only criterion. You have returned to the grassland this time. , do something for me, if it succeeds..."
Huang Daochun quickly raised his head and listened attentively.
"I will give you ten thousand taels of silver to ensure your prosperity in Western Shu."
Listening, Huang Daochun suddenly fell silent. If the King of Shu in front of him said that he would be promoted to a staff member and let him serve, he would definitely not believe it.
But now, it is five thousand taels of silver and the guarantee of a stable life. As long as he has a choice, he would rather stay in the Central Plains and become a wealthy man.
"King Shu, what should I do?"
"Stir up the storm on the grassland." Dongfang Jing, who was next to him, spoke for a long time.
"I have discussed with my lord. Now the Little Royal Court in Beidi has no generals. If you go back this time and use some means to prove yourself, you will be reused. I need you to stay in the grassland and sow the relationship between Beidi and Sha Rong. "
"I dare to ask Dongfang Military Advisor what kind of method it is. It is well known that I betrayed Beidi before. If there is no heavy treasure, I am afraid that I will be killed immediately by the Di people."
"No need for heavy treasures, just a trick to keep you safe."
"What's the plan?"
"You have decided, I will give you orders." Dongfang Jing smiled, "Master Huang, I hope you can think clearly. The Sha Rong people won't tolerate you, even the grassland won't tolerate you. Only the Central Plains and Western Shu can have you. A place for us to gain a foothold. Of course there will be dangers, but if you carry it through, the previous grudges and grudges will drift away like clouds of the past."
Huang Daochun lowered his head and remained silent, thinking about the gains and losses.
Xu Mu and Dongfang Jing were not in a hurry. In the bottom of their hearts, they were almost convinced of the stove master in front of them. It's just that Xishu is not bordered by the grassland, so it needs someone to intervene in the grassland royal court. No matter what, it can be regarded as leaving a knife in the grassland.
Of course, the matter of General Li's expedition to the north must not be discussed with Huang Daochun.
"King of Shu, Eastern Military Advisor, so-and-so is willing to do it!"
"good!"
Xu Mu smiled, raised a cup of tea, and handed it to Huang Daochun. There was too much foam in the tea color, something was vaguely wrong.
Huang Daochun looked hesitant. After all, he was not a fool, and he did not dare to take action for a long time.
"Master Zao, have you ever heard of me, Chen Que of Xishu?"
"Of course I've heard of him. He is the best doctor in the world."
"Indeed, I will tell you straight away." Xu Mu's expression remained unchanged, "A few days ago, I sent someone back to Shu to get a bag of poisonous powder."
Huang Daochun's body trembled.
Xu Mu narrowed his eyes and pointed at the tea cup, "This poisonous powder will make you itchy for a short time, but it will go away soon. Within three months, you only need to take another dose of the antidote and there will be no problems. The medicine cures the disease."
There is no cover-up, on the contrary, it is more of a deterrent.
"Mr. Huang, you have no choice." Dongfang Jingye said calmly, "My lord, if I trust you without any scruples, you will also become suspicious. In my opinion, this is the best way. If you cherish your life and do things, Xishu will protect you from worries."
"If it's March, I won't be able to come back to Xishu..."
"Don't be anxious, someone will send you there. You should know the name of my Ye Xiao from Xishu. Even outside Hezhou, there are people from my Ye Xiao. Moreover, you have forgotten how you entered Shu before. ?" Xu Mu laughed.
Previously, Huang Daochun, who looked confused, was directly sold by his family and sent to Dawan Pass.
"If you don't want to go, I won't make it difficult for you. The heroes in the Central Plains are always thinking about your head. Of course, you also know that unfortunately, I, Xu Mu, happen to be the captain of the heroes in Thirty States. I Just say the word and your life will be saved.”
Huang Daochun gritted his teeth and without hesitation, he grabbed the tea cup and drank it in one gulp. As Xu Mu said, it didn't take long before his whole body started to itch.
Thinking about it, he must have been poisoned by Chen Que.
"Okay." Xu Mu breathed a sigh of relief. He really needs someone who can intervene in the provocation between Beidi and Sha Rong. Huang Daochun in front of him happens to be the most suitable candidate.
"Dongfang Military Advisor will discuss the specific matters with you tomorrow."
"Thank you to the King of Shu... thank you to the Eastern Military Advisor."
Xu Mu nodded, and when he stood up, he suddenly thought of something.
"By the way, Master Zao, if you can help me kill Zhao Qingyun. In addition to ten thousand taels of silver, I will reward you with a big mansion, a dancing girl and a beautiful concubine."
Huang Daochun raised his face, thinking of the past again, and nodded heavily.
