The edict is clearly written, take An Xiuruo's head, and give Tan Xiaozu all the glory that the ministers can enjoy. An Xiuruo wept while picking up the edict and said: "Since I met the general, I have obeyed my words and plans, like a senior brother and a brother, and if the current situation is like this, I am willing to exchange my head for the general's wealth." It's just that the old mother is still here, let me say goodbye......"

An Xiuruo's mother's concubine is called You Yuan, who is no longer favored by An Zidao when she is old and decrepit, and is excluded by Concubine Yang, so she followed her son to Jingzhou, and she has never seen the holy face again, nor has she ever returned to Jinling, and An Xiuruo depends on each other for her life, and her feelings are extremely deep.

Tan Xiaozu threw away his sword angrily and said, "Who does Your Highness think I am?" Sellers seeking glory? Filial piety to the ancestors of the emperor Longen, how can it be used by rebellious ministers and thieves? Today, since he is a rebel, why should His Highness be suspicious? ”

He was not a fool, he entered with a sword alone, instead of leading troops to surround the palace, just to show his attitude of being incompatible with Jinling. If An Xiu is so calm, there must be a little grandmaster waiting for him in the curtain behind him, and his personal force is not a threat to him at all, so his coy posture is just a deliberate show of weakness to test people's hearts.

An Xiuruo was so moved that he left his seat and walked to the side to pick up the sword, and personally returned it to the sheath, saying, "The general is loyal!" I misunderstood the general! ”

Tan Xiaozu accepted it when he saw it, knelt down on his knees, and said pleadingly: "Your Highness, An Xiuming killed his father and usurped the throne, which is unpopular, as long as His Highness acts righteously, great things can be done......

An Xiuruo's face was worried, but he just helped Tan Xiaozu up and did not speak. Yan Wan walked in and said, "There are hundreds of thousands of elites in the Chinese army, Shen Du is known as the god of war, Xiao Yushu has great achievements, and it is not something that a general can defeat with a sharp mouth." What's more, An Xiuming occupies Tianfu again, and it is urgent and difficult to attack, according to my opinion, it still needs to be considered in the long run. ”

Tan Xiaozu said sharply: "Huangkou Xiao'er, what do you know about military affairs?" Shen Du is dying, Xiao Yushu is a woman, how can he be enough? However, the three armies have not moved, but you have come to disturb the morale of the army, please behead it with His Highness, and tell the upper and lower levels to boost morale! ”

An Xiuruo saw that Tan Xiaozu was angry, and hurriedly reprimanded Yan Wan: "How can you be so rude to General Tan? Why don't you apologize soon? ”

Yan Wan pursed her lips and said coldly: "In the deliberations of the mansion, each expresses his own opinions, and if he violates it slightly, he will threaten his life with his life, and dare to ask General Tan, is this His Highness's Governor's Mansion, or your Governor's Mansion?" ”

Tan Xiaozu laughed, his laughter was full of disdain, and said: "You sour and rotten literati are really black-hearted, and your tongue is comparable to a sword, but you are afraid of death one by one, which is really ridiculous." The Chinese army is difficult to beat, Xiao Shen is good at fighting, you can sit back and watch the traitor live in the Taiji Palace, and be respected in the south? As everyone knows, a hundred years later, the person who has a bad reputation for His Highness is this generation! Beheaded you, not because you and I disagreed, but because you misled Your Highness, and you are a sinner in the Chu Kingdom! ”

Everyone can buckle the big hat, but it is a matter of knowledge to buckle it cleverly, Tan Xiaozu can mix from the bottom to today, it is by no means so vulgar and unliterate on the surface, and his mind is deep, far more powerful than Yan Wan, who has never encountered setbacks.

Seeing that the two of them were arguing and arguing, each with their own reasoning, An Xiuruo hesitated, and after a long while, he said: "Don't argue first, let me think about it." Since the eldest brother wants my life, if it is really unjustifiable, he will take it. You can't always in the same room, let others see the joke! ”

"Your Highness!"

Tan Xiaozu still wanted to persuade, An Xiuruo waved his hand and said: "Xiaozu, you also go back, and don't make a decision in a hurry, the eldest brother values you so much, it may not be a good thing to take refuge in him." ”

Tan Xiaozu's forehead touched the ground, and said: "My loyalty to His Royal Highness can be shown to the sun and the moon, if His Highness is willing to tie his hands, I am willing to disarm and return to the field, and never ask about the world." ”

"Why is that?"

Hexi's light poured into the room through the diamond-patterned lattice window, and An Xiuruo bathed half of his body in the light, and the other half was hidden in the darkness, unable to see the look in his eyes, and it was even more difficult to know what he really thought in his heart, and said, "Go down!" ”

That night, the two of them were discussing secretly in the firewood room, and the woman who was called the eighth lady by Zuoqiu Shoubai still couldn't see her appearance, and said in a low voice: "Today, Tan Xiaozu came to see His Highness, handed over the secret edict you gave him, and let His Highness raise an uprising. ”

Zuoqiu Shoubai chuckled and said, "How can King Jiangxia be a person who is willing to be captured? The reason why he hesitates now is that he is afraid of the Chinese army and Shen Du, if the army is defeated, he can't get a corner of peace, so it is better to take advantage of the chips in his hand and talk to the Lord about the best of both worlds. His smile was full of sarcasm, and he said, "The best of both worlds? If the Ann family is a brother and a brother, when will we be able to walk openly and openly in heaven and earth in six days? ”

"So you forged a secret edict and deliberately gave Tan Xiaozu to ask him to forward it to His Royal Highness, so as to startle the snake and completely cut off his idea of wanting to negotiate peace with Jinling?"

"The edict is not a forgery, it is indeed the intention of the Lord. However, the Lord asked me to act cheaply, and if I felt that Tan Xiaozu could be bought, I would give him the secret edict. What you told me, Tan Xiaozu would never betray King Jiangxia, but I still gave him a secret edict, so naturally I wanted to push King Jiangxia behind my back. Unexpectedly, this general who had been in Jingzhou for many years was so indecisive, with a sword and axe, and he didn't have the courage to fight...... An's, heh, An Shiyue is a dragon, An Zidao is a tiger, and the next group is all rats! ”

The eighth lady was silent, she received the order of the five heavenly lords, and fully cooperated with Zuoqiu Shoubai to act, and the punishment in Si Wantian Palace was clear, although she was not under the control of the water official, but during the mission, once the responsibilities were clear, she must obey unconditionally, even if she was asked to sacrifice her life, she could not have the slightest hesitation.

It's just that at this moment, she feels the madness and destruction of Zuoqiu Shoubai, his hatred of the An clan has reached the point where it is difficult to control, and he is likely to make a stupid move that affects the overall situation under impulse - just like this very abrupt hand over the secret edict to Tan Xiaozu, if An Xiuruo learns that An Xiuming has bought his subordinates, and his life will also be seriously threatened, he immediately decides to rebel, and the envoy group, including Zuoqiu Shoubai, is estimated to become the first wave of sacrifices for the flag.

Yes, this is the completion of the task assigned by God, but before the matter is broken, as long as the situation is right, the task can also be completed under the premise of ensuring safety.

The believers of the Six Days are not afraid of death, but there is no need for senseless sacrifices, and for them, it is more beneficial for them to leave a useful body than to die blindly.

Do you want to report the situation?

The Eighth Lady was in a dilemma.

Tanfu.

Xu You and Qingming appeared like ghosts again, Tan Xiaozu was not surprised, and said what happened in the palace today, Qingming frowned and said: "Yan Wan is stubborn, do you want to shut him up?" ”

There is only one way to shut up the living, and that is to make him a dead man, Tan Xiaozu changed his color: "No! ”

Qingming said lightly: "The general doesn't need to worry, the assassination of Yan Wan is just a gesture, and afterwards you can also make a blame to the envoy group, there will be no trouble!" ”

Tan Xiaozu smiled bitterly: "I'm not speaking for him, Yan Wan is His Royal Highness's confidant, she has relied on her a lot over the years, and she really died in the hands of the enemy, and she has nothing to say." But if you kill him rashly because of political disagreement, I'm afraid that once this case is opened, there will never be peace! ”

Woman's kindness!

Qingming Assassin was born, and he didn't have any psychological burden on assassination, and infighting was nothing more than deprivation of authority and deprivation of life, and for those who participated in this game, deprivation of authority was actually not much different from deprivation of life.

Look at Guo Mian, if he hadn't turned over, his life would have ended from the moment he was expelled from the palace by Yan Wan!

The two looked at Xu You at the same time, waiting for him to make an idea, Xu You said in a deep voice: "It's a pity to kill, Yan Wan is capable, and there is still a place to rely on the army in the future, and what General Tan said is extremely true, political disputes must not be assassinated, once it gets out of control, the consequences are unimaginable." ”

He paused and said with a smile: "Yan Wan is not the king of Jiangxia after all, as long as he can convince the king of Jiangxia, no matter how much Yan Wan obstructs it, it will be in vain." ”

Early in the morning of the second day, Xu You and An Yuyi rendezvous, pretending to be her entourage, went straight to the back house of the palace and met You Yuan, the mother of the King of Jiangxia. Concubine You is less than forty years old, her appearance and figure are like a girl in her twenties, her appearance is not beautiful, but it can also be called a grace, but in a place like the harem, there are too many goblins, and the competition can only fall out of favor. An Zidao is not ruthless, allowing her to follow the king of Jiangxia, and she has enjoyed glory in Jingzhou all these years, in fact, she is much happier than the concubines in the palace.

"You're Xu You?"

Before Xu You could answer, You Yuan recalled: "Yes, it looks very similar to your mother, it was the Shangyuan Festival, she entered the palace to say goodbye, and I also pulled her for a long time......"

People are old and easy to remember back then, Xu You immediately climbed along the pole, his eyes were red, and said: "When I was young, I also heard my mother mention Niangniang, and there was a lot of admiration in my words. Seeing it today, I feel compassion and kindness, but I can't help but think of my mother again, I lost my honor in front of me, and I am guilty of a capital crime! ”

"You are filial, where is the sin?" You Yuan shook his head and said: "The tragedy of the Xu family, my wife is a family, I can't say right or wrong, but since it's all over, don't take it to heart, live well, it's better than anything else!" ”

After two more gossips, You Yuan had a very good impression of Xu You, and asked with concern: "Yuyi said that you want to see Guan'er?" What is the matter? ”

An Xiuruo's small character view, Xu You also heard it for the first time, and said: "I came to save His Highness's life!" ”

"Huh?"

You Yuan was so shocked that she walked closer, held Xu You's wrist, and said, "Does anyone want to kill Guan'er?" ”

Smelling the faint fragrance coming from the skirt of the placket woven gold stripes, Xu You's heart was like water, his eyes stared at You Yuan, and said: "An Xiuming sent an envoy to Jiangling to ask for peace, but it was just a plan to delay the army. In private, he sent an envoy with a secret edict to buy Tan Xiaozu and other generals in charge of the Governor's Mansion, saying that he would kill the king of Jiangxia and get rich. Fortunately, General Tan was loyal and righteous, and yesterday presented the secret edict to the king of Jiangxia, willing to lead the troops to rebel. Who knew that Yan Wan was greedy for life and afraid of death, and might even be bribed by the envoy, so she tried her best to dissuade King Jiangxia and ask him to surrender and submit. Niangniang, now that His Royal Highness has soldiers in his hands, resisting may not be death, but you have to listen to Yan Wan, after returning to obedience, he handed over his military power and became a lamb to be slaughtered, how to save his life? ”

Yan Wan wants to reach a compromise with Jinling, it is impossible to hand over the military power, Xu You just gave him some eye medicine in front of You Yuan, not to mention the seriousness, what

"This ...... This ......"

Xu You's gaze and expression were full of strong persuasiveness, You Yuan was not one of those powerful concubines in the deep palace, otherwise she would not have left the palace gloomily, at this time, listening to Xu You's words, she suddenly lost her mind, and said: "Okay, I'll take you to see Guan'er, and you will persuade him, and don't trust that Yan Wan......"
