An Xiulin once again set up a banquet to entertain Xu You, during the banquet to push the cup and change the lamp, everyone was elated, a doorman called Cheqiu drank more than ten glasses, suddenly fell on the desk and cried, and the house suddenly quieted down.

Others asked Che Langjun why he was sad, and Che Qiu wiped away his tears and said: "I climbed the tower last night to look north, and saw that the scenery was still the same as in the past, but I knew in my heart that this mountain and river had become different!" ”

Jinling is in the northeast, there is something in Cheqiu's words, everyone can hear it, and they all silently put down their wine glasses and look at each other without saying a word. Che Qiu stood up, drunk eyes, pointed his fingers in turn, and said: "The mountains and rivers are different, the gentlemen are still indulging in pleasure, indulging in wine, and Che is humble, but he is ashamed to sit together." ”

After speaking, he walked to the middle of the seat, bowed to An Xiulin, and then raised his head and scolded: "Your Royal Highness has been awarded the county country, and the reward is really heavy, my father died in the white blade, my brother usurped the poor, the four seas wept blood, and the underworld was angry." But His Royal Highness sings day and night, obedience and disobedience, so that the law of heaven has fallen, and the country has deep grievances. ”

Di Xia became angry, pulled out the long sword at his waist, pointed at Cheqiu, and reprimanded: "Your Highness treats you well, why do you speak wildly, saying, Who instructed it? ”

An Xiulin showed a painful look on his face, bent over, touched his heart with his hand, gasped with difficulty, and said, "Di ...... Dixia, let him speak, let him speak! ”

Che Qiu was not afraid at all, and said awe-inspiringly: "Although Qiu is not talented, I really don't want to watch His Highness be mistaken by the thieves, and even leave a stench for thousands of years, and be laughed at by the world." ”

He pointed out the other guests of the palace as a group of thieves, Di Xia couldn't bear it anymore, and jumped up, the tip of the sword against his heart, and said: "Kneel down and admit your mistakes, spare you from death!" ”

Che Qiu smiled contemptuously and said, "Dog thief! Death is death, what is there to fear? ”

Anshulin exclaimed: "Cheqiu, don't ......"

Before the words fell, Che Qiu suddenly took a step forward, letting the long sword pass through his chest, and blood sprayed out, staining his robes and the color of everyone's eyes.

Di Xia was shocked on the spot, and the hand holding the sword trembled slightly, as if it was weighing a thousand catties, and he couldn't pull it out.

Anshulin was filled with grief and indignation, and said: "I bear the car mound! Yang Tian spat out a mouthful of blood and fell on the desk, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

"Your Highness, Your Highness!"

"Hurry, please doctor, go and ask doctor!"

"Di Xia, if something happens to Your Highness, I will not spare you!"

"Your Highness......"

The house was completely chaotic, and Xu You silently looked at Che Qiu's corpse, feeling respectful in his heart. Cheqiu was the trust that An Xiulin found, and planned to use his insults to make An Xiulin vomit blood and become seriously ill, and then Xu You used the means to cut off his lifeline, which was enough to hide from the world and deceive the messenger sent by An Xiuming, but he didn't expect Cheqiu to take the initiative to die generously, making this play more perfect, and leaving no flaws.

After all, except for An Xiulin and Xu You, only Che Qiu knew the details of this plan, and once he died, he could guarantee the absolute safety of the plan. Moreover, the impact and contagiousness brought by the death remonstrance made Anshulin's illness more reasonable

In ancient times, there were people who wanted to leave Yu, celebrities through the ages, and now there are car mounds, which are not inferior to them!

With such a peerless dead soldier, I am afraid that everyone in the world will underestimate An Xiulin!

Five days later, the prince's envoy Liu Shou arrived in Linchuan, and after entering the house, he saw that most of the people were sad and sad, and inquired privately, and learned that An Xiulin was abused by the guest at the banquet and fell seriously ill, vomiting blood for three liters, and he was in a coma for many days and never woke up.

Liu Shouxi was in a good mood, and said to Qiao Heng, a fake Zuo Zuo of Jiangzhou in the Sili Mansion who came with him: "The king of Linchuan does not take a holiday, how much trouble has been saved for the lord, and we should have luck, this errand is much easier than that of King Panyang." ”

Qiao Heng was cautious and said, "Let's ask General Gao to confirm, lest the king of Linchuan pretend to be sick and deceive the master......"

"Yes, yes!" Liu Shou hurriedly said: "It's still pretending to be thoughtful, in case the king of Linchuan doesn't want to go to Beijing and deliberately pretends to be sick, and he will be investigated in the future, we will be guilty of a capital crime." He turned his head to the other person: "General Gao, I will see the king of Linchuan later, and you will be asked to diagnose him!" ”

Gao Yu is one of the little grandmasters raised by Sili Mansion, they have no position in Sili Mansion, but they are given the title of General Yingyang, usually holding a fortune, and their status is very high, and they are desperate to die in case of trouble, similar to the duty of worship.

Xu Shunhua came forward to receive the envoy and his party, Xie Xiwen, Tao Jiang, Wei Buqu and others accompanied him, and Liu Shou passed on his will and proposed to visit An Xiulin. This is the proper meaning of the question, Xu Shunhua did not refuse, and there was no reason to refuse. An Xiulin on the sickbed had a withered face, and at first glance, he looked like an old man in his fifties and sixties. Even Liu Shou doesn't understand medical skills, and he can see that he doesn't have much time, but he just survives his life.

Gao Yu was too lazy to pretend, and sat directly next to the bed to check An Xiulin's pulse, and after a while, he nodded to Liu Shou. Liu Shou was settled, said a few words to Xu Shunhua, and went to the other courtyard to rest.

That night, Zong Yu visited Liu Shou and sent two boxes of gold and silver belongings. Liu Shou smiled, comforted Zong Yu, and asked him to tell Xu Shunhua that there is no need to worry about the capital, he will speak well, and take care of the king of Linchuan, and will raise his body. If he recovers in the future, he will see His Majesty and his brother again.

After that, Liu Shou stayed in Linchuan County for two more days, and the rest courtyard received several uninvited guests. These people are all important doormen of Anxiulin, and at this time, seeing that the master is about to die, the building is about to fall, and they have begun to find another way out without shying away.

People's hearts are complicated, there are not only loyal and righteous dead soldiers like Che Qiu, but naturally there will also be shameless people who see profit and forget righteousness, and it was originally expected by Xu You to set up this game, deceiving Liu Shou is one, and trying people's hearts is two.

With so many guests, only three or five people came in calamity and flew separately, which was the best reward for Corporal Lixian in Anxiulin over the years!

Early this morning, Liu Shou left Linchuan and returned to Jinling to resume his life. Sitting on the ox cart and looking back at the county seat, his eyes were full of smug smiles.

For him, it was better for An Xiulin to die in Linchuan than to die in Jinling, and it was ridiculous that the people in the palace were afraid that he would persecute him too much and send so much money. It can be seen from this that people say that the three hundred guests of Anxiulin can be compared to the ancient Meng, but in fact, they are all wine bags and rice bags, which are embarrassing and useful. Even if he is not seriously ill, he must have to return to Beijing with him obediently, which is far from worrying.

The spies sent out confirmed that Liu Shou and his entourage boarded the ship from Huangshui and left the country, and An Xiulin summoned Xie Xiwen, Wei Buqu and other four henchmen to meet him, Xie Xiwen understood the antecedents, was overjoyed, and was very impressed by Xu You's methods. Wei Buqu asked for instructions on how to deal with those betrayed people, and An Xiulin couldn't bear to punish him, and said: "I pretended to be sick and hid it from everyone, it shouldn't be." However, the good birds choose trees to perch, no wonder others, give them 100,000 yuan each, and give them a gift out of the city......"

Disha objected, saying, "How should we reward the faithful with such courtesy to the unfaithful?" These men must be put to death, or there will be no end to it. ”

Tao Jiang has always been quiet, and he has heard a lot and said little when discussing things, but this time he said categorically: "It must not be like this!" I know that His Royal Highness is benevolent, but if you want to confront the imperial court, you must first reward and punish strictly, and if you don't punish it, why is it Mingwei? In my opinion, there is no need to kill them immediately, stabilize them for the time being, and on the day of the uprising of the righteous army, behead their heads and sacrifice flags, which can be magnificent! ”

The two of them had a resolute opinion, An Xiulin hesitated for a while, and sighed: "Okay, ignore this in advance, and discuss it later!" He turned his head and asked Xu Youdao, "When will Weizhi leave?" ”

"It's here, I'm going to leave tonight!" Xu You replied: "I'll go to Jiujiang to visit Zhu Shushi first, and he will arrange the next matters." Your Highness, Zhu Tingshi can definitely be trusted, his words are my words, please Your Highness must adopt them, and do not listen to people's slander, so as to delay the fighter. ”

An Xiulin resolutely said: "Don't worry, I have made up my mind, and I will not shake a single bit." When you leave, I will send out the people, contact the localities, hoard grain and grass, recruit soldiers, and fight the traitor! ”

"Your Highness has this determination, and you will definitely be invincible!" Xu You praised it and reminded again: "These things must be carried out in secret, but in the name of cultivating wasteland and building water conservancy, you must not disclose your true intentions prematurely." Also, if the time is ripe, Zhu Tingshi will send elite soldiers and good generals to escort His Highness to Wu County......"

Xie Xiwen was still hearing about this plan for the first time, and said suspiciously: "Go to Wu County?" Why don't you go to Jiujiang and wait for the king of Jiangxia to come along the river and make peace with him? ”

Xu You's calm eyes showed the light of wisdom, and said: "Xie Langjun, the king of Jiangxia has 100,000 male soldiers, and he can recruit troops in Linchuan?" ”

"This ...... Three or five thousand people, there will always be! ”

"Okay, three or five thousand people, even if all the troops of the Jiangzhou Governor's Mansion are handed over to His Highness, it will only be one or two hundred thousand, with such a small number of troops and the King of Jiangxia, do you think His Highness will completely become a vassal of the King of Jiangxia?"

Xie Xiwen finally understood what Xu You meant, his eyes flashed with shock, and he said, "Yes!" ”

Xu You said lightly: "But if His Royal Highness arrives in Wu County, with Gu Lu Zhu Zhang as his wings, and then combined with the power of Yangzhou and Jiangzhou, it is enough to open the hegemony and establish the Eastern Army, go against the current, and launch an offensive against Jinling." At that time, the king of Jiangxia came to the west, His Royal Highness went to the east, the two armies stood side by side, and the two armies were evenly divided, even if the king of Jiangxia was pushed as the king in the future, His Royal Highness could also seek the greatest benefits by virtue of his military merits. ”

These words were extremely inflammatory, and before Xie Xiwen could answer, Di Xia couldn't help but stroke his palms excitedly: "Listening to Lang Jun's words, it is better than 100,000 male soldiers." That's it, whoever dares to object, I'll be the first to take his head! ”

This Di Xia can't talk with his brain, but fortunately, he has to be a benevolent lord like An Xiulin, and he has a male lord like Cao Cao, I'm afraid that he won't survive more than one episode and will have to be in a different place.

However, with him agitating the atmosphere, An Xiulin also felt that his blood was boiling, no matter how difficult he was in power, but if he could lead the troops to destroy the thieves, who could refuse such a temptation?

"It's all from the king's words!"

The discussion has been decided, Xu You's itinerary will first go to Jiujiang, then go to Jiangling, and then go directly back to Wu County along the Yangtze River. In order to facilitate future contact, and in order to facilitate the trust of King Jiangxia, An Xiulin decided to send his henchmen to accompany Xu You to pick and choose, or to choose Zuoqiu Sijin and Zong Yu. The two of them don't know each other without fighting, they can be regarded as acquaintances and friends who can chat, and Zuoqiu Sijin is a reliable sister of his own family, loyal and capable, and he is the best candidate.

The heavy rain poured on this day, Xu Shunhua sent thirty miles, until the Xushui Wharf was reluctant to wave goodbye, the sisters and brothers hurriedly saw each other, and the sky was on one side, Xu You leaned on the second-floor railing of the big ship, exactly: alone without the railing, infinite rivers and mountains, other times are easy to see and sometimes difficult!
