After listening to what Pang Tong said about the location of the grain and grass hiding, Shen Xian felt that this kid was really well-informed, and sighed in her heart Why didn't you say it a few days in advance? Say the news a few days in advance and send it out.

Of course, it is not worthless for Pang Tong to bring it up now, but Shen Xian can't find anyone to send the news to Guo Jia! The guards she sent out to deliver the letter before all disappeared into the vast crowd like a stone sinking into the sea, I don't know if they were stopped outside the city and couldn't enter, or they didn't go out at all and were directly arrested, and no one was seen alive or dead.

But looking at Pang Tong's expectant face, Shen Xian couldn't bear to tell the truth, so she thought about it and said seriously: "This news is really too helpful, I owe you a favor, what do you need in the future, as long as I can do it, just ask." ”

Pang Tong was slightly stunned, he actually just wanted to find a position under Shen Xian, but he didn't expect to get such a valuable promise from Shen Xian.

Who is Shen Xian? The official residence is the captain of the dynasty, sitting on half of the country, and the real power is overwhelming, and if you can get her words, it will definitely make a lot of money.

Zhuge Liang immediately felt that Shen Xian's words were a bit big, in case Pang Tong made any unacceptable demands in the future, would Shen Xian still reluctantly complete it? Or did she just kill Pang Tong directly?

It's no wonder that Zhuge Liang is too careful, there are really some things that have to be considered, so he decided to wait for Shen Xian to leave and remind Pang Tong, so that he should not be stupid and take Shen Xian's words seriously.

But Pang Tong spoke first: "Lord Liu, I want to ask for something now. ”

Zhuge Liang frowned.

Shen Xian blinked: "You say." ”

So Pang Tong spoke with excitement, and his tone rose slightly: "My lord, I heard that Yizhou is recruiting talents, so ......"

Shen Xian smiled slightly: "Do you need me to write you a letter of recommendation?" Wen Ruo always complained about the lack of manpower. ”

"No!" Pang Tong interrupted Shen Xian's words, and he said word by word: "My lord, I want to follow you." ”

Seeing that Shen Xian seemed a little stunned, Pang Tong added: "Just like Mr. Wenhe." ”

After listening to Pang Tong's request, Zhuge Liangxin said that your ambition is too big! Although you can't be arrogant, you can't be wanton and inflate! What did you Pang Shiyuan do to be comparable to Jia Wenhe?

But to Zhuge Liang's surprise, Shen Xian actually nodded: "It's not a big problem, the key depends on how you do it." ”

Pang Tong originally had the heart to try it, but when he saw that there was a door, he immediately became more energetic, and he humbly asked: "Then what should I do?" ”

Shen Xian waved her hand: "This ...... It's better to wait for me to burn the grain and grass in Xiangyang before I tell you. ”

Shen Xian came mysteriously, and she disappeared without a trace. Pang Tong specially leaned on the edge of the window and looked out, he saw Shen Xian push the door and leave, and after walking two steps, the whole person melted into the night like a drop of ink, and he couldn't even see the vague back.

"Oh my God," Pang Tong rubbed his eyes and asked Zhuge Liang in surprise: "Lord Liu is gone!" ”

Although the last time Shen Xian came to find Pang Tong was in the middle of the night, he suddenly appeared and disappeared, but he didn't watch it at that time, and the visual impact was not great.

Zhuge Liang didn't feel anything shocked: "Lord Liu's skills are unfathomable. ”

When encountering the assassin before, Zhuge Liang saw Shen Xian hold the assassin's long knife with only one wolf hair, and her treacherous acupoint technique was also talked about by Huang Yueying for a long time afterwards. After being accidentally heard by Huang Chengyan about the ins and outs of this matter, the well-informed old man told Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying that Shen Xian's acupoint and pulse interception were inherited from the divine doctor Hua Tuo.

Not only Shen Xian, but the very beautiful but gentle and quiet girl Ren next to her was also very powerful, a dagger turned out a snowy knife light in the palm of her hand, and all the assassins in the shadow were cut throats.

In fact, it's normal to think about it, if Shen Xian doesn't have any real skills, or if she doesn't have a few masters around her, how dare she run to the enemy's base camp single-handedly to wreak havoc?

After admiring Shen Xian's skills, Zhuge Liang changed his words, and he looked at Pang Tong expressionlessly: "You ...... just now What do you want to do? ”

Pang Tong, who originally had a cheerful expression, quickly changed his face, and he showed a somewhat cold smile to Zhuge Liang: "If I don't say that, who knows if there will be a big trouble coming to the door?" ”

Zhuge Liang was slightly stunned, and then he shook his head: "You are too ...... Never mind. ”

Zhuge Liang wanted to say something, but when he saw Pang Tong's face half-hidden in the shadow of the candle, he still shut up.

As soon as Shen Xian's words came out, Pang Tong felt that she was testing herself, after all, it was he who inadvertently leaked Jia Xu's news, which led to the disappearance of the capable general beside Shen Xian. After this incident, Shen Xian was wary of him, this is human nature, although he is uncomfortable, he can't say anything.

In fact, this matter was over-interpreted by Pang Tong's smart people, God knows that Shen Xian really wanted to help Pang Tong, because Pang Tong seemed to be very guilty about "betraying" Jia Xu, maybe he didn't feel it himself, sometimes he looked at Shen Xian, his eyes would show feelings similar to chagrin, cautious, and Pang Tong told Shen Xian of the location of the Xiangyang granary, it is difficult to say that there is no meaning of compensation in it.

Shen Xian felt that it was not Pang Tong's fault that Jia Xu was arrested, so she decided to give Pang Tong a chance to forgive herself, if she accepted Pang Tong's information, then Pang Tong should feel better.

It's a pity that the hard work of both sides didn't work in the right place, Zhuge Liang was keenly aware of the misunderstanding between the two, but he saw that Pang Tong was tossing so hard, and he looked bitter, so he didn't bother to deal with him.

Shen Xian, who got the location of the granary, was not sure if the news was true - it was not that she suspected Pang Tong of telling lies, but that she was afraid that others would deliberately deceive Pang Tong, what if the news of the location of the granary was a smokescreen released by Cai Mao? Pang Tong said that he was on behalf of Pang Degong when he went to visit Liu Biao in the state pastoral mansion and overheard the conversation between Mrs. Cai and Cai Mao, during which Cai Mao mentioned that he wanted to transfer more people to protect the grain and grass, but Mrs. Cai disagreed, she said that the original troops were transferred by Cai Mao and put a lot of them outside the city to stop Guo Jia's army, and now Guo Jia is not attacking, those people staying outside the city are simply a waste of money to eat rice, and she has no one on hand who can use it.

Pang Tong said that when he saw Cai Mao hear Mrs. Cai's words, there was an expression on his face that he wanted to faint, he didn't talk nonsense to Mrs. Cai anymore, he turned around and left, and Mrs. Cai chased him after him for a long time but couldn't stop him.

In fact, Shen Xian understands Cai Mao's heart very well, just like when she faced Liu Zhang.

Diao Chan was waiting for Shen Xian on the path outside Zhuge Liang's house, and after seeing Shen Xian come out, she stepped forward and shook off her cloak and wrapped Shen Xian tightly: "It's cold at night, the lord pays attention to your body, you are now five months pregnant, you can't be careless." ”

After wrapping Shen Xian into a ball, Diao Chan casually took a piece of jerky from her purse and stuffed it into Shen Xian's mouth.

Thankfully, Shen Xian finally got rid of morning sickness and entered the stage of "I want to eat everything", two days ago she went to visit Mr. Shuijing's house, and when she went out, she glanced at the deer raised by Mr. Shuijing, and the green eyes that came out scared the deer back to the corner and shivered.

The simple and kind fawn didn't understand why the person who fed it grazing with a kind face two days ago looked at it today as if she was looking at a plate of roast venison, could it be that she fed herself so seriously before in order to fatten up and eat it in the future?

Humans are really terrible, and the fawn took a big bite of Ming Dang ginseng and was shocked.

The night was like water, the starlight hung upside down, and the rural night scene under the canopy made Shen Xian's heart feel calmer, she held Diao Chan's arm and said as she walked: "I have something I want to entrust to you." ”

After Shen Xian's careful consideration of this matter, it was decided that she no longer trusted anyone in Xiangyang except Diao Chan, including the Si Liwei who took one by one and lost one by one.

When you go back, you must take care of them, regardless of whether they are really trapped and can't come or some other reason.

"My lord, please speak." Diao Chan said in a light tone: "I was originally your subordinate, if there is anything I need to do, I will do my best." ”

"Very good," Shen Xian nodded, and she took out a letter from her arms: "You take this letter to Dangyang and hand it to Guo Fengxiao." ”

Diao Chan was slightly stunned, she looked at Shen Xian: "Lord? You ......"

"Shh," Shen Xian pressed her index finger to her lips: "It is written here where Xiangyang grain and grass are stored, it should be true, but I need to verify it further." ”

"Lord...... You're going to go on your own?! Diao Chan's eyes widened.

A beauty is a beauty, and her eyes are round and she looks good. Shen Xian looked at Diao Chan's face and sighed in her heart.

Shen Xian didn't directly answer Diao Chan's words: "You just do it, those Si Liwei ran out and never came back, I don't believe them for the time being." ”

Before Diao Chan could speak, Shen Xian said again: "But this task is very dangerous, if it is really Cai Deqi who sets up a bureau and then catches the spies, you may be caught together." ”

"Would you like to go?" Shen Xian raised her head and looked at Diao Chan steadily.

After a long time, Diao Chan took the letter and put it in her close-fitting pocket, she nodded: "Don't worry, my lord, even if Cai Deqi blocks the entire Xiangyang City, I can still get out." ”

Diao Chan's smile was very gentle in the moonlight: "Back then, Dong Thief blocked Chang'an, and I was able to take Lingqi to find Wen Hou, what is he Cai Deqi a school captain?" ”

Shen Xian knew that Diao Chan's words were very Cheng Cheng was comforting her, and at that time, Diao Chan was able to leave smoothly because Jia Xu and Yang Biao escorted her, what about today? Who else in Xiangyang City can help Diao Chan and let her leave safely?

Wait, Shen Xian's eyes narrowed.

Seem...... You can try to do this, anyway, you're already adventurous, what's the difference between a little more and a little less?

Liu Qi walked to the wind-blown window, he put his hands on the window, but did not close it immediately, but maintained a posture and stood in front of the window looking at the night scene under the moon in Xiangyang.

Xiangyang City has been under curfew for a long time, and there is not a single pedestrian on the street, except for the occasional neatly lined up soldiers patrolling by with guns. After looking at it for a while, Liu Qi sighed softly, he closed the window tightly, turned around again, and suddenly saw a woman sitting in front of him, raising her hand to hold a scroll of books and looking down.

"You-" Liu Qi was startled, and just as he wanted to scream, a person covered his mouth from behind, and all the sounds were cut off in his throat.

Shen Xian put down the bamboo slip, she raised her head and looked at Liu Qi seriously: "Eldest prince, don't be afraid, we are not here to kill you, we have a request for you." ”

Is this a begging attitude? Liu Qi was speechless, but he didn't dare to say it, because the man behind him used a sharp dagger against his neck.

"Who are you?" Liu Qi decided to get straight to the point: "What do you want from me?" I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed, I don't have much power......"

"You may know me," Shen Xian interrupted Liu Qi's words, and she said lightly: "Liu Shangyu in Xia Yizhou." ”

Liu Qi wanted to ask Liu Shangyu which green onion it was one second, but the next second he suddenly got stuck: "Liu Shangyu?" Yizhou ...... No, Lord Lieutenant?! ”

Shen Xian said slowly: "It's me." ”

In order to increase credibility, Shen Xian said as she took out her official seal from her sleeve.

The seals of Yizhou Mu and Guanghanhou have always been in Cai Yan's hands, but Taiwei's purple ribbon gold seal was brought out by Shen Xian.

"Don't believe me?" Looking at Liu Qi's appearance of being struck by lightning, Shen Xian dragged a piece of rice paper, she pressed the official seal into red clay and gently buckled a red stamp at the end of the rice paper, and then Shen Xian held the rice paper and signaled to Liu Qi: "This paper is for you, what do you want to write on it?" How about sparing your life? ”

Liu Qi sat opposite Shen Xian tremblingly, he didn't expect that the powerful Liu Taiwei was such a beautiful young woman, so he didn't even know where to put his hand.

Diao Chan had been standing behind Liu Qi, ready to suddenly restrain Liu Qi when he made any unfavorable moves towards Shen Xian, making him incapacitated.

After staring at each other for a long time, Liu Qi finally held back a sentence: "Lord Taiwei came late at night...... Doesn't that make sense, right? ”

"At the critical moment, it would be pedantic to say this," Shen Xian smiled slightly, and said bluntly: "I'm here to talk about cooperation with the eldest prince." ”

"Cooperation?" Liu Qi smiled bitterly: "Everyone has gone to cooperate with the second brother, where is my turn?" ”

Shen Xian looked at this young man with a depressed face, and suddenly said, "Are you willing?" ”

"What if you're unwilling?" Liu Qi shook his head: "I'm not that material...... Although the second brother is not, he has the Cai family, but I have nothing. ”

Finally, a Jia Xu was arrested and locked up by Cai Mao, and Liu Qi felt that he had no bright future.

But it doesn't matter, there is nothing to fight about, and soon Nanyang will be captured by Shen Xian, and everyone will be finished together.

But when it came to Shen Xian, Liu Qi couldn't help but glance at her delicate face: "Lord Liu, you are here...... Why? ”

Shen Xian knew that Liu Qi was asking why she was in Xiangyang, in the enemy camp.

After thinking about it, Shen Xian said, "Eldest son, do you want to live?" ”

Without waiting for Liu Qi to speak, she continued: "After the destruction of Xiangyang City, whether it is your stepmother, your younger brother, or Cai Deqi...... I won't keep them. ”

Liu Qi was stimulated by the coldness of Shen Xian's understatement, and he quietly shuddered.

"But you ......" Shen Xian looked at Liu Qi with interest: "I can show you a way out." ”

Liu Qi said softly: "Why? ”

"Didn't I say that?" Shen Xian took out a sealed letter from her sleeve and put it on the table and pushed it to Liu Qi: "I'm here to talk about cooperation." ”

"Your father is terminally ill, and if you don't want to be killed by your brother and stepmother after his death, it's better to think about your future."

Liu Qi's heart was in turmoil. Although he still lives in the governor's mansion, all the people in the mansion have been replaced by Mrs. Cai and Cai Mao, except for the servants who have followed him since childhood, no one listens to him, everyone calls him a big son, and secretly no one takes him seriously.

Liu Biao was seriously ill, Liu Qi had only visited it a few days ago, and now he couldn't even enter his yard.

Although Liu Biao is not under house arrest, the situation is similar.

Sometimes Liu Qi even suspected that Liu Biao had passed away, but he was pressed by Mrs. Cai to keep it secret.

At first, Liu Qi was still very afraid, afraid of the sword hanging above his head that would fall down at some point, but after a while, Liu Qi was indifferent, he felt that it was death anyway, what difference did it make if he died early or later?

After being quiet for a long time, Liu Qi slowly stretched out his hand and pressed it on the secret letter pushed by Shen Xian, he raised his head and looked at Shen Xian, with a hint of ruin in his eyes: "Lord Liu, what do you need me to do?" ”

"My mother has replaced everyone in the house, and my ability is limited," Liu Qi said, "I may not be able to help you." ”

Liu Qi didn't ask Shen Xian why she came here to cooperate with him, whether she had encountered any trouble, etc., these questions were completely meaningless in Liu Qi's opinion.

Liu Qi only knew that Shen Xian came to him when he had already given up a qiē, and she gave him a chance, and it didn't matter if the result of this opportunity was right or wrong.

It can't get any worse anyway.

Liu Qi suddenly wanted to gamble, anyway, his father would die or not, and this place in Nanyang would not belong to him in the future, so there was nothing to be nostalgic for.

Shen Xian shook her head, she just wanted to say that it doesn't matter, only you can help with this favor, when suddenly three dull bells rang out the window, piercing the silent night sky.

Liu Qi stood up suddenly, and Diao Chan instantly ravaged up and pressed a dagger against his neck.

"What's wrong?" Shen Xian suddenly felt that something was not right.

Liu Qi made a gesture of surrender, and he looked at Shen Xian in horror: "This is a signal from the sentry, which means ...... Someone is invading! ”

Shen Xian: ......???

"Yes, is that you?" Liu Qi watched Shen Xian slowly stand up and walk to the window with her hands on the tabletop, only then did he realize that Shen Xian was actually a pregnant woman with a big belly.

There was a commotion outside, and the torches on the street flickered in turn like starlight, and soon in Shen Xian's sight, the entire Xiangyang City lit up, and countless soldiers gathered in the direction of the city tower.

Shen Xian identified the direction, it was the south gate of Xiangyang.

Diao Chan escorted Liu Qi to the window, and she looked at Shen Xian with an inquiring gaze: "Lord? ”

Shen Xian shook her head slowly.

At this time, it was only their people who came from the south to fight Xiangyang, but Guo Jia did not pass the news to Shen Xian at all before this operation, it may have been intercepted by Cai Mao, or it may be that Guo Jia did not say it.

The latter kind of Shen Xian can wait for the war to settle accounts with Guo Jia, but if it is the former...... Cai Mao will definitely lay a trap.

"Check it out." Shen Xian whispered to Diao Chan: "Take the eldest prince and let him be well-behaved." ”

Noticing Diao Chan's gaze at him, Liu Qi felt a chill all over his body.
