54. [053] Mission

"How do you know?" Gan Ning lowered his voice and shouted, the moment Jia Xu opened his mouth, he felt as if his heart had sunk into the abyss.

As soon as Gan Ning's words came out, it was equivalent to admitting that Jia Xu's guess was correct in disguise. The four of them glanced at each other, Guo Jia spread his hands and looked innocent: "You said it yourself...... Sun Bofu's things left to the lord are related to Yuan Highway, so he even did not hesitate to send his dead soldiers to infiltrate Yizhou to assassinate and sneak attack, and then think about Yuan Highway's recent frenzied search for the heirloom jade seal, isn't that? ”

Gan Ning was speechless, such a reason can be associated with these people, and he is still not a human being.

At this point, Gan Ning simply broke the jar and broke it: "Whatever, anyway, the lord has to say it sooner or later, you can guess it first......"

At most, it proves that the IQ of the four of you is much higher than Shen Xian, but isn't this nonsense?

"This should be what the lord is going to talk about next." Guo Jia nodded, and he looked at the others: "Otherwise, let's pretend not to know first?" Otherwise, the lord has no sense of accomplishment! ”

Guo Jia's mention was not echoed by anyone, Xun Yu frowned slightly and didn't know what he was thinking, Xun Yu had a consistent indifferent face, only Jia Xu patted him on the shoulder incomprehensibly.

Guo Jia chased after Jia Xu and trotted up: "Hey, I'm serious, don't be so strict......"

Shen Xian arrived at the study first, she beckoned her subordinates to clear the field, and all the soldiers retreated ten zhang to surround the study, without instructing anyone not to enter, if there was a vain attempt to break in, they would be killed on the spot.

After finishing the order, Shen Xian stepped into the study alone.

Shen Xian took out a piece of contemplative incense and put it in the furnace and lit it, and the light smoke slowly wafted away with a subtle sweet smell, which made her thoughtful brain suddenly quiet a lot. Pulling a piece of soft satin from the wall, Shen Xian reached into the hidden pocket in her sleeve as she walked, took out the jade seal that was still stained with a slight smell of wine, and threw it into the basin to soak, and when she felt that the last trace of wine had dissipated, Shen Xian took the jade seal out of the basin with one hand, and held the soft satin with the other hand and began to gently wipe it.

This is the scene that Xun You and the others saw when they walked into the study and came to the inner room.

Although he had already guessed that what Shen Xian had dug up from Sun Ce was the heirloom jade seal, it was better to see it than to hear it, except for Gan Ning, who had already touched the jade seal and had a dry addiction, the remaining four people - including Jia Xu, who had always cared about everything and only took a nap - everyone's eyes unconsciously followed Shen Xian's hand holding the jade seal.

Yu Guang glanced at Shen Xian and knew that these people had probably guessed what they were going to say in advance, because they saw that Yuxi's expression was wrong, not shocked but in awe, and then looked at Gan Ning, who came in with them, hanging his head and wilting...... It's been a clichΓ©.

"Gan Xingba, you can't hold it anymore." Shen Xian said lightly, she raised the jade seal a little higher and moved it to the sunlight to study its exquisite texture: "How much magic is this thing that makes so many people flock to it...... But no matter how I look at it, it's just a piece of jade. ”

No one answered Shen Xian's words, everyone didn't know what to say, and the room fell silent for a while. After a long while, Gan Ning whispered unwillingly: "What do you call again!" A few of them go up together, can I bear it? ”

Gan Ning muttered as he glanced at the four people standing around the table and surrounding Shen Xian, intentionally or unintentionally.

"That's right." Shen Xian nodded: "Sit down...... You've all seen it, and that's what I'm going to say. ”

Shen Xian put the wiped jade seal on the table and slowly pushed it in front of everyone: "My brother left it for me, Yuan Highway is looking for it...... What are we going to do? ”

Before it was exposed, she kept hiding it for fear that others would know, but now that she has exposed Shen Xian, she is a lot calmer, anyway, it is impossible for her to give away the jade seal, after all, this is Sun Ce's thing, even if he decides to hand it over, Sun Ce must personally say who to hand it over, and no one will think about the idea of beating the jade seal before that.

Everyone else was pondering, and Guo Jia suddenly sniffled: "Where did the smell of wine come from...... Still aged! ”

Shen Xian was stunned, she didn't expect Guo Jia's dog nose to be so good, obviously the jade seal had been washed in the basin, but he could still smell it: "The eldest brother hid the jade seal in the wine jar before." ”

Imagine a jade seal soaked in a wine jar...... Xun You's eyes darkened, and his voice trembled a little: "Have you soaked the heirloom jade seal in the wine?" ”

"Uh...... It's you, not you. Shen Xian corrected a little embarrassed, her eyes rolled around to avoid Xun You's gaze: "This is hidden by the eldest brother, how do I know what he thinks." ”

Xun You was so depressed that he didn't want to speak.

Guo Jia's focus is obviously different from others: "Can you still drink that wine?" ”

"It broke during the fight." Shen Xian stretched out her hands: "Even if it's good, you can't drink it, right?" I've been mixed up. ”

Guo Jia showed a regretful expression: "...... It's a pity that a jar of fine wine. ”

Seeing that Xun Yu was about to smoke above his head, Xun Yu hurriedly whispered: "Fengxiao!" ”

Guo Jia touched his nose and closed his mouth, and gave Shen Xian a pitiful look.

"It turns out that the rumor that General Wentai entered the Luoyang Palace first and got the jade seal of the country is true." Xun Yu sighed: "I thought there was a rumor before. ”

"It's really a rumor." Shen Xian pouted: "This jade seal was not taken out of the palace by General Wentai, but was fished up from the well by me and my eldest brother." ”

So Shen Xian told everyone about the whole process of them picking up the jade seal. After listening to the story, everyone looked at Shen Xian with complicated expressions, Xun Yu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Lord, are you...... Just gave the jade seal directly to General Wentai? ”

"What do I want it for?" Shen Xian shrugged her shoulders: "It's a big trouble wherever this thing is placed, don't you think I'm being targeted by Yuan Highway?" ”

After a pause, Shen Xian clapped her hands: "Okay, don't talk nonsense, I mean let everyone consult, what should I do with this thing, and I have to think of a way to pick up the eldest brother and second brother from Yangzhou before Yuan Highway makes a move, it's not safe there." ”

The first paragraph of Sun Ce's letter was used to remind Shen Xian to be optimistic about the jade seal of the country, and the second half of the letter was a bland account of what he and Zhou Yu had done after they returned to Shu County. For example, burying Sun Jian, comforting his mother to take care of his younger brothers and sisters, such as handing over his subordinates to Yuan Shu immediately, including those veterans who had fought with Sun Jian in all directions, such as ...... Yuan Shu took Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's entire family to Shouchun, which was called convenient to take care of, but in fact, he wanted to force the two to serve him (or coerce them to hand over the jade seal), so they are currently taking an idle job under Yuan Shu to live a boring life.

"Jade seal is easy to say." Jia Xu said lightly: "It's all hidden, just keep hiding, just keep it quiet." ”

Xun Yu seemed to disagree with Jia Xu's point of view, but Xun Yu secretly tugged at the corner of his clothes, and he could only frown and didn't say anything. In fact, Xun Yu also knew that Jia Xu was right, since he didn't plan to hand it over from the beginning, then hide it to the end, no matter what kind of evidence there is, he must pretend that he has never seen the jade seal, even if Yuan Shu may accuse Shen Xian of harboring evil intentions in the future, he will bite to death and not admit it.

Besides, hand it in...... Will it be handed back to His Majesty, or will it be handed over to Lu Bu?

After all, this is not an ordinary seal, but a jade seal that can control the country, and it has an extraordinary meaning. Originally, Lu Bu was arrogant enough to control His Majesty in Chang'an City, and then sent the jade seal up...... He can't go to heaven yet? Maybe it's the second Dong Zhuo.

"No comment, right? Then it's good to hide it. Shen Xian took out a small wooden box from the cabinet and carefully put the jade seal inside: "Next, let's discuss the issue of saving people." ”

"I don't think we need to meddle in this matter," Xun Yu returned to normal after the heirloom jade seal was put away, and at this time he said quite briskly: "Judging from the letter that Bo Fu sent you, he just reminded you to put away the heirloom jade seal, and the rest of the qi qi is up to Gong Jin to decide, and our rash action is likely to disrupt his arrangement." ”

"The dead soldiers under Yuan Highway were ambushed in Mianzhu, and there are only two possibilities, one is that they intercepted the eldest brother after he sent the letter to the location, and the other is that they followed the trail of the flying eagle all the way to Chengdu, and then followed us to Mianzhu. Either of these two possibilities shows that Yuan Highway has set his sights on the eldest brother, and I can't think of how else they can arrange in this situation. Shen Xian disagreed: "Yuan Highway is a small-bellied chicken intestine, once it is determined that the eldest brother has stolen the jade seal, he will definitely not give up." What's more, the eldest brother and the second brother's whole family are in the hands of Yuan Highway, and the family is coerced, so they always have concerns. ”

"But we can't send troops." Xun You said: "Once you send troops, you will be able to hold the jade seal." ”

Moreover, Yizhou is now in the stage of cultivation and recuperation, and it cannot be moved.

"I know." Shen Xian smiled slyly: "You don't necessarily have to fight to get people out, Yuan Highway will send dead soldiers to sneak into my Yizhou, so I can't send people to Yangzhou?" ”

"You can ask Wen Ruo for help with this." Guo Jia held his chin and leaned lazily on the table and looked at Xun Yu and smiled: "The dead soldiers of the Xun family are no worse than the Yuan family." ”

Xun Yu clenched his fists with both hands: "If the lord needs it-"

"No, don't bother Wen Ruo." Shen Xian interrupted Xun Yu's words with a smile: "For such a thing as saving my brother, I should naturally let my sister go out in person." ”

"I'll go."

Knowing that Shen Xian was going to mess around again, Xun You immediately objected sternly: "Lord, the so-called gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, how can you be in danger alone?" ”

Xun Yu also objected, but his tone was very gentle: "I'm still transferring people from home, there are still a lot of official affairs in Yizhou that need to be handled by the lord himself." ”

"But it's safest for me to go!" Shen Xian is reasonable: "Yuan Highway has never seen my women's clothes, and he can't recognize who I am." ”

"That's not going to work either." Xun You's face darkened: "After all, you just want to go out to play, right?" ”

Shen Xian stretched out a finger and pointed it on her lips: "Gongda, don't say it." ”

At this time, Guo Jia, who had not said much, suddenly said: "I think what the lord said is feasible. ”

Shen Xian suddenly star-eyed, Xun You glared at Guo Jia angrily, Guo Jia pretended not to see it: "We can send people to infiltrate in the dark and send people inside openly, such as sending a delegation to meet him under the banner of congratulating Yuan Highway on taking over as Yangzhou Mu, and after meeting on the surface, he used Liu Jingsheng's problem as an excuse to talk about the alliance, and secretly brought some people into the mission, and after arriving at the destination, let him move around, find a way to find out the situation of Bofu and them, and then wait for the opportunity to rescue people." Anyway, there are many people in the mission, and when they come back, a few more people will not be inconspicuous. ”

Two groups of people, one in the light and one in the dark, with the containment of the mission on the surface, the people who infiltrate in the dark can better accomplish the goal.

"It's still too dangerous." Xun You still didn't let go: "Your lord, you are the pastor of Yizhou, and Yuan Highway is the self-appointed pastor of Yangzhou, why do you want to visit him?" Besides, Yuan Highway may turn against us at any time, and when the time comes, on other people's territory, he can't run away if he wants to, isn't he subject to others? ”

"Then I can't do nothing! This is dangerous, will I also shrink here and wait for you to fight in the future? Shen Xian pulled her hair irritably: "Anyway, I can't do it if you let me sit in Yizhou and wait for news." ”

"I didn't say that I asked the lord to go to Yangzhou as a Yizhou pastor, are you stupid?" Guo Jia said casually: "The so-called white dragon fish suit, let the lord disguise it, for example, ......"

Guo Jia said with a teasing smile: "The little maid disguised as a messenger, the guard, and so on." ”

Xun You's eyes widened: "You let the lord pretend to be a maid?" ”

Shen Xian clapped her hands and smiled: "Hey, this can be had!" Gongda, don't be angry, the big husband can bend and stretch, I don't mind. ”

"Then in that case, my lord, who are you going to send to Yangzhou?" Xun Yu didn't react as much as Xun Yu, he asked seriously: "The number of people in the mission cannot exceed fifty at most, more will arouse Yuan Highway's vigilance, less is not enough to show majesty, and in order to ensure safety, these fifty people I build yΓ¬ from Weiyou and Xingba to select good players, such as the new Dian Hongfei is very good, this person is brave and powerful but simple-minded, you can focus on training." ”

Shen Xian looked at Xun Yu with admiration, and felt that Wang Zuozhicai was different, he just mentioned that he could send an envoy, and Xun Yu was already helping to plan the specific scale of the mission.

As for the messengers......

Because the envoy was also tasked with negotiating with Yuan Shu, he could only go into battle with the strategists. Xun Yu must be the first to rule out, with him in the rear town Shen Xian can go out to wave with peace of mind, there are four people left, Cai Yan, Xun You, Jia Xu and Guo Jia can all think about it, but Cai Yan may be bullied as a messenger alone, Shen Xian is reluctant; Xun You looked disgusted when he saw everything, and if he went with him, he would definitely be taken care of, Shen Xian felt panicked; Jia Xu didn't meddle much, but he didn't even say much, like a stuffy gourd; So only Guo Jia remained.

However, Guo Jialang is almost going to heaven every minute, Shen Xian is afraid that she can't control him at all, what if there is something moth in Yangzhou?

Just when Shen Xian hesitated, Guo Jiaxing raised his hand vigorously and recommended himself: "Lord, I will recommend myself to Yangzhou to ensure the completion of the mission." ”

Xun Yu didn't agree to let Guo Jia go, Guo Jia had to go, seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, Xun Yu sighed and proposed a compromise solution: "I mention yΓ¬ Fengxiao as the messenger, Zilong leads the guard, and the lord pretends to follow it, how about it?" ”

Zhao Yun is calm and calm, calm in the face of things, and can hold the scene at the critical moment, and having him to look at it will not make Guo Jia and Shen Xian miserable and cause any big trouble.

Although Xun Yu was still not satisfied with this result - he didn't want Shen Xian to run around at all - but Xun Yu came out and made a thin mud, so he had to give some face, so both sides took a step back, and the matter was settled.

Shen Xian wrote a letter to Yuan Shu in the capacity of Yizhou pastor, saying that he was about to send an envoy to Yangzhou with gifts to congratulate him on his appointment as Yangzhou pastor, and at the same time wanted to talk about the alliance.

Yuan Shuzheng suspected that the whereabouts of the jade seal were in the hands of Sun Ce or Shen Xian, but the dead soldiers he sent to Yizhou had no news, and he didn't know whether they were arrested or killed, and Yizhou was the territory of the Heavenly Master's Dao, which could not be said to be monolithic, but it was also tightly defended, and Yuan Shu wanted to find out more news but was worried that he couldn't find a way. At this time, Shen Xian actually proposed to send someone to Yangzhou to visit him, which was really sleepy, and someone handed him a pillow, so Yuan Shu waved his pen and agreed to Shen Xian's visit without saying a word.

By the time Cai Yan knew that Shen Xian was going to infiltrate the mission and run to Yangzhou to rescue Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, the matter was already a foregone conclusion.

"I've been gone for an afternoon, and you've come up with such a moth?" Cai Yan said with a smile: "Wen Ruo didn't stop it? ”

"It's the little uncle who agreed to send a mission!" Xun You snorted coldly: "I don't know what to think, it's ...... run out at this time."

"If you don't let Xiaoxian save Bo Fu and Gong Jin, I'm afraid that according to her temperament, I will have to run away if I steal it." Cai Yan smiled: "Okay, don't be angry, Zilong is following, if Feng Xiao dares to mess around, tell Zilong to let him knock out and carry the person back." ”

"Yuan Highway obviously has bad intentions." Xun You said irritably: "He can agree to the mission to go to Yangzhou, just to pry some news from the mission, what if he detains people?" The one who should have been saved was not rescued, but put in a bunch. ”

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger." Cai Yan smiled lightly: "Besides, as far as Zilong and Xiaoxian's kung fu are concerned, it is a very simple thing for them to disappear quietly from Yangzhou. ”

Shen Xian felt that she was full of excitement about to travel, until she saw Hua Tuo in the garden who was holding a stall to check the pulse of the maids and servants.

Shen Xian reflexively turned around and ran, Hua Tuo bent down and picked up a brick and put it in his hand, and then under the admiring gaze of a cadre, he raised his hand and threw the brick towards Shen Xian: "Apprentice, where are you going!" ”

"Master, I didn't expect to meet your old man here! What a coincidence, hahaha! Shen Xian held her head and ran back, and when the bricks landed five inches above her head, they were suddenly violently shaken away by an invisible qi, and fell to the ground and shattered into several pieces.

Hua Tuo narrowed his eyes: "Tsk, the moves are not good, but the internal strength is good." ”

"Master has won the award." The maids and servants all retreated and dispersed, and Shen Xian smiled and came to Hua Tuo's side: "Are you still used to living in your old man's house?" If you need anything, send someone to Sister Qian and say, I said hello to Sister Qian, and she has everything she should prepare for you! ”

"Very well-behaved." Hua Tuo smiled and snored back and forth Shen Xian's head: "I heard that you are going to Yangzhou?" ”

Shen Xian froze: "Uh, Master, I'm going to work!" ”

"I'll prescribe you two pairs of medicine and take them with you on the road." Hua Tuo pulled a new piece of paper, brushed and began to write the prescription: "You must finish eating, don't think about fooling me, otherwise you won't go." ”

Shen Xian swore to the sky: "Eat!" Definitely eat! I won't do such a tasteless thing as avoiding taking medicine! ”

Hua Tuo stroked his long white beard: "Hmph, just remember what you said!" Also, you'd better not use force for half a month, otherwise it will be harmful to the meridians. ”

Shen Xian said embarrassedly: "I...... As much as possible. ”

"Huh?"

"Definitely!"

In order to hide people's eyes, on the day of leaving, Shen Xian first took a group of people to pretend to bid farewell to Guo Jia and Zhao Yun at the dock, and after the two of them boarded the ship and set sail, Shen Xian rode around to the dock where they were next anchored and blended into the fleet.

The fleet left, and Shen Xian also took the guards to prepare to ride away, at this time Xun You said lightly: "Lord, I still don't agree with you doing this, but since everyone has no objections, I won't say anything more, just be careful about everything." Rest assured during your absence, I will take care of what needs to be done. ”

Shen Xian reined in her horse and turned around and smiled: "Excuse me, Gongda, I have to go, not only because they are my sworn brothers, but also because they have entrusted everything to me, how can I watch them in prison and stand by?" If the person trapped in Yangzhou today is you, Wenruo, Wenhe, or any of you...... I would go the same. ”

Xun You's eyes widened slightly.

Shen Xian continued: "Don't worry, I will bring them all back safely, so ......"

"Zhaoji, Gongda, Wenruo, Wenhe, Xingba, Weiyou, my life is entrusted to you, take care of your family."

"Go with confidence." Cai Yan covered his lips and smiled: "Someone is still waiting for you to come back to help him propose." ”

Thinking of the past that was unbearable, Xun You instantly exploded: "I, myself, myself, go!" ”

"Ugh." Xun Yu sighed: "Gongda, let me help you......"

Gan Ning and Zhang Xiu have always looked at the excitement and don't think it's a big deal, and the two of them mentioned with great interest: "Let's go together, it's so lively." ”

Jia Xu rarely joined along: "I can too." ”

"No, I don't." Xun You gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you, I'll go in a while!" ”

"Then I wish you success!" Shen Xian laughed and spurred the horse away: "Say hello to the teacher on my behalf!" ”

Shen Xian successfully infiltrated the ship at the next pier. The cabin was quiet, Shen Xian was very strange, and while thinking about whether it should be served by someone before leaving Yizhou, she walked into the cabin quickly.

Then Shen Xian saw Guo Jia lying on the bed half-dead with a pale face, while Zhao Yun was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a wet handkerchief in his hand and clumsily putting it on Guo Jia's forehead.

Shen Xian: "......"

Oops, forget jì Guo Jia, this seasick and dizzy dead and alive!

Shen Xian walked over with a smile and a smile: "Zilong, I'll come...... Fengxiao, I forgot jΓ¬, you got seasick, did you forget jΓ¬ yourself? ”

"My lord." Zhao Yun nodded to Shen Xian, he stood up and moved out of the way: "Mr. Guo, he ......"

Shen Xian probed and held Guo Jia's wrist: "It's okay, seasickness, I'll prick him with a few stitches." ”

On the day of Mianzhu's day, Zhao Yun went to Shen Xian and told her that although she was still a little confused, she was willing to try to continue walking, and maybe she would be able to find a way to solve her doubts. Shen Xian naturally welcomed Zhao Yun's defection, so Zhao Yun's title to her became the lord.

"But if I don't come, there will be no one to accompany you." Guo Jia shrunk into the quilt and said sullenly: "Lord, can you prick me so that I can't feel it...... I was dizzy. ”

Shen Xian was a little distressed, just sailed like this, how many sins Guo Jia had to suffer when he walked to Yangzhou! The distance from here to Shouchun is much farther than from Nanzheng to Xiangyang.

"Why don't you go back?" Shen Xian gave Guo Jia a needle: "Replace Gongda." ”

"I don't." At this time, Guo Jia was as stubborn as a donkey, he pulled the quilt and covered his head: "Come here, don't go!" ”

Shen Xian frowned and grabbed the quilt with Guo Jia: "What's wrong...... If you don't go, don't go, don't move with a needle! ”

"Lord, don't pull my quilt!"

"You let go! I'm going to suffocate! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Zhao Yun silently exited the house, he felt that he was completely unfit to stay here.
