Chapter 20: Suspicion
"Sir, why do you look so sad, but what has happened?"
From the moment they met, Yuan Yao found that Cui Zhouping's expression seemed to be wrong, and he inquired as soon as he finished discussing the matter.
"Childe, it's fine."
Hearing this, Cui Zhou's plane color was slightly adjusted, and he said calmly: "My father was listed as Wang Situ's party liquidation when the Xiliang Army broke the city, and he was murdered, but it made Gongzi worry about it. ”
Cui Zhouping said nothing.
In a calm tone, he said softly what was going on.
"What? Cui Gong was killed by the Zhixi Liang Army? ”
After hearing this, Yuan Yao unconsciously showed a look of indignation on his face, and shouted a little out of shape.
Looking at Cui Zhouping's calm face, he couldn't see the slightest annoyance, Yuan Yao knew that he was even more sad in his heart.
The so-called "grief comes from the heart", real grief is often not exposed on the surface.
Seeing his red eyes, obviously crying, Yuan Yao was silent for a while, and then said calmly: "Sir, can you find out who Gong Cui died at?" ”
"According to the understanding of the subordinates, it is the general of Xiliang, Guo Yan."
"Good!"
Immediately, Yuan Yao got up and patted him lightly on the back, and said in a deep voice: "Sir, don't worry, when Yao leaves Guanzhong, he will definitely make the murderer of Cui Gong pay the price." ”
As soon as the words fell, Cui Zhouping looked back and noticed that the resolute look on Yuan Yao's face was not like a joke, and a trace of emotion suddenly rose in his heart, but he hurriedly stopped: "Son, don't be like this!" ”
"You went to Guanping this time to take on a heavy responsibility, and it is a big deal to persuade the Xiliang army to go out of Guankou and abuse Yan and Ji Fang, and you can't delay it because of such a trivial matter."
"Sir, rest assured, this matter has its own measure, but Cui Gong is one of the three princes and is highly respected but was poisoned by the Xiliang Army, this revenge is intolerable, and it cannot be repaid!"
For a moment, Yuan Yao said in a strong and powerful voice, revealing a trace of sadness and boundless anger in his expression.
He is not a hypocrisy, he does want to avenge Cui Lie.
This is the key to whether Cui Zhouping can truly recognize him as the Lord and serve his life.
In the Han Dynasty, in addition to the social atmosphere of filial piety first, most people were grateful.
It seems that Huang Zhong is because Yuan Yao used his family background to hire the divine doctor Zhang Zhongjing to treat Huang Xu's serious illness, so he promised to protect himself and thought it was comprehensive.
The so-called "grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by springs." That's it.
On the side, Cui Zhou watched Yuan Yao's expression, and in addition to being greatly moved, he was also aware of his love and righteousness.
He is not familiar with the Cui family, and he is willing to take the lead just because he knows him, isn't this kind of lord worthy of allegiance?
Cui Zhouping was extremely grateful for a while, and he wanted to bow down, but reason still made him forcibly hold back.
Immediately, he couldn't help but turn over the topic, and said, "Childe, since the plan has been decided, then we will go our separate ways." ”
"Childe, you go to get acquainted with Jia Xu and communicate, causing Li Dao to be suspicious, and Jun will see if you can use your connections to enter the palace and secretly ask for the edict of King Qin, how about it?"
"That's good."
Hearing this, Yuan Yao was overjoyed and promised to come down.
……
The plan has been decided.
Next, Yuan Yao went out early and returned late all day long, and went to Jiafu to visit Shangshu Jia Xu.
On the way back, he was also extremely high-profile, hyping that he had indeed gained a lot from asking Jia Shangshu for advice, and Jia Shangshu was worthy of being a knowledgeable and talented person.
I need to ask for more advice in the future......
Yuan Yao was afraid that others would not know that he was visiting Jia Xu, so he really said it when he met someone...... That's enough......
Every corner of Chang'an City is full of Li Wei's ears and eyes, and these news naturally can't be hidden from him.
Hearing this news, Li Dao was extremely suspicious for a while: "Why did Wen He get close to that Yuan Yao kid in recent days?" ”
"I'm afraid something is wrong with this?"
"If it's really just an ordinary visit and consultation, can Yuan Yao use such a high-profile profile to make the whole city known?"
Li Wei couldn't help but think deeply, his face changed, and he said: "Could it be that the two of them are secretly plotting something, and Yuan Yao deliberately high-profile just to cover up the truth of the conspiracy?" ”
Gradually, he became suspicious.
Originally, because Jia Xu's talent was already extremely jealous of him, now he can't help but think about this abnormal behavior.
After all, if Jia Xu and Yuan Yao really had any plot against him or the land in Guanzhong, wouldn't it be a disaster?
As soon as he thought of this, Li Dao's face returned to a serious look, and he instructed the guards on the side: "You go to Jiafu, order Jia Xu to enter the mansion quickly, and General Yanben has important matters to discuss." ”
"Whoa."
The guards gave the order to retreat.
In a moment.
Funai.
After Jia Xu heard the order, he quickly entered the mansion, and faced Li Wei, who was sitting precariously on the top, and immediately arched his hand and said: "See the general, I don't know what the general hurriedly summoned to enter the mansion, what is the so-called matter?" ”
Seeing that his eyes were extremely calm and did not show the slightest timidity, Li Wei's suspicions increased again, and he couldn't help but be even more jealous.
It stands to reason that once a person with a ghost in his heart is suddenly summoned, he will not be treated with a normal heart.
If so.
Unless this person really has no ghosts in his heart, or his psychological quality is extremely strong, he can cover it up well.
But thinking of what Yuan Yao had done in recent days, Li Wei didn't want to believe that the conversation between them was really an ordinary visit.
Since he already has a preconceived concept, Jia Xu at this time has been reduced to the kind with strong psychological quality.
"Wen He, I heard that since Yuan Yao arrived in Chang'an, he has frequently visited you to ask for advice, and he has been talking about it all day, I don't know if there is such a thing?"
"General Qiyu. That's true, that Yuan Yao is very talented, erudite and talented, and he has come to visit him all day long, although he is unwilling to receive him, but he has already arrived outside the house, and Xu is not good at expelling him, so he has to accompany him. ”
As if he had sensed the unkindness of Li Wei's words, Jia Xu suddenly became alert for a while, and immediately explained.
But he didn't expect it, but immediately explained this remark, which made Li Wei conclude that he had a ghost in his heart, otherwise why didn't I ask and explain it myself?
"He must have conspired with Yuan Yao, but he doesn't know what he is plotting."
For a while, Li Dao's eyes were staring at him tightly, and he groaned secretly as if he was smiling.
And this slight smile made Jia Xuhu extremely suspicious.
What happened to the general today, and why does it feel weird?
After a while, Li Dao couldn't help but wave his hand and said, "Wenhe, it's okay for the time being, you can go back for the time being." ”
"Whoa."
Although Jia Xu was extremely puzzled in his heart at the moment, Li Wei summoned him to what he was talking about, and showed a very unusual look and smile, he really wanted to ask clearly......
But it was just that he had already given the order, and Jia Xu had to retreat with full doubts.
Looking at Jia Xu's back gradually leaving, Li Wei's face suddenly sank, and he said coldly: "Okay, it seems that you really have something hidden in your heart." ”
He actually made Jia Xu retreat on purpose, and his purpose was to let Jia Xu take the initiative to confess, but he ......
At this moment, the suspicion in Li Wei's heart has become more and more serious......
"You quickly send a few shrewd Flying Bear Guards to hide around Jia Mansion to monitor every move in the Mansion, and report to the General at any time if there is any situation."
Immediately, Li Dao decisively dispatched personnel to monitor and control Jia Xu.
……
On the other hand, Jia Xu withdrew from the mansion, and he was also puzzled, and couldn't help but mutter: "What does the general's move mean, why is his behavior and romance so strange today?" ”
After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't help but think of Yuan Yao's high profile in the city in recent days, and suddenly his face changed greatly: "It's a disaster!" The treacherous scheme of that boy in me too! ”
"Maybe the general has heard some rumors just now to summon me to tempt, according to this, Chang'an can't stay, I'm afraid I will worry about my life if I stay."
Jia Xu thought secretly.
Immediately, he quickened his pace and quickly left the Cheqi General's Mansion.
