Zuoqiu Sijin's thoughts suddenly drifted back to seventeen years ago, when his father rushed into the house in the rain on a rainy night covered in blood after leaving home for half a month inexplicably. He was holding a toddler of about three years old in his arms, his eyes were like paint, white and lovely, and his smart eyes turned to look left and right, without the slightest look of fear.

After four years, as an only daughter, Zuoqiu Sijin had a younger brother, named Zuoqiu Wuzhi, who hid at home on weekdays, and easily did not let him go out to play.

This is not uncommon among the scholars, so it did not arouse other people's discussion and suspicion, but Zuoqiu Sijin understood that this younger brother was of unknown origin, because she would never forget her father's blood-soaked black robe.

"Sister, what is the explanation of knowing its whiteness and guarding its blackness? I didn't understand what Mr. taught today......"

"Know the bright place, but dare to stay in the dark, such as you, the heart is actually smart, but always show stupidity, this is to know its white and keep its black, great wisdom is foolish, and the light is the same dust!"

"It turns out that this is the solution, I thought that knowing white and keeping black is because I am fair-skinned, and my sister is darker, so I want me to know my responsibility and always protect my sister......"

"Poof, who wants you to keep the black? You keep your own name......"

"That'...... I'll give you another name, called Zuoqiu Shoubai! ”

Zuoqiu Shoubai? When I was laughing, will it be endless?

Zuoqiu Sijin hated himself for not taking a good look at his younger brother, so he sneaked out of the back door when he was seven years old and suddenly disappeared, and has not been heard from since. My father searched day and night for three months, and finally gave up, but he didn't punish her for this, but just stroked her hair and said "life and death", and then never mentioned the name Zuoqiu Wuzhi again.

"Lang Jun, you guessed right, I do know a person named Zuoqiu Shoubai, but I'm not sure if the envoy of the imperial court is the one I know, I have to see him with my own eyes to count!"

Xu You said softly: "I shouldn't have asked about your private affairs, but now it involves the imperial court and the king of Jiangxia, so I take the liberty of asking, what is the origin of the Zuoqiu Shoubai you know?" ”

Zuoqiu Sijin was silent for a long time, and finally told Xu You about that rainy night, the past of the two little people who knew white and kept black, unconsciously wet his clothes with tears, and said gloomily: "For so many years, I always thought that he was no longer alive......"

Xu You silently poured a cup of tea, patted her shoulder, walked to the window with his hands in his hand, looked at the bright moon hanging in the air, and his face was as calm as water.

Jiangdong is very big, Jiangling is very small, the encounter between people is so peculiar, no one knows when the life manipulated by the god of fate will scare you from behind, Zuoqiu Shoubai Ruo is really Zuoqiu Sijin's younger brother, it seems to give them the opportunity to explore the court hole cards, but on the other hand, it also makes him unable to fully trust Zuoqiu Sijin's loyalty.

It's a double-edged sword!

After Zuoqiu Sijin's mood calmed down a little and sent her back to the room, Qingming turned around and closed the door, and said in a low voice: "Lang Jun, do you want to stare at Zuoqiu Sijin?" ”

Xu You's face was as usual, and he said, "Will Zuoqiu Sijin betray the King of Linchuan who treats her like a sister for a younger brother who has been missing for many years and whose origin is unknown?" I don't think so! ”

"Zuoqiu Sijin has a guilty heart for Zuoqiu Shoubai, and this mentality is extremely easy to take advantage of. If Zuoqiu Shoubai is scheming, I'm afraid that Zuoqiu Sijin will fall into the opponent's game and not know it, and then we will be passive......"

"Let's wait and see, maybe the name Zuoqiu Shoubai is just a coincidence?"

Xu You doesn't believe in human nature, but he is willing to give human nature a chance!

In the next two days, I went out early and returned late during the Qingming Dynasty, and met with the people of the winter solstice to learn about the latest developments in the palace, but these are all small characters, and they have not been in Jiangling City for a long time, so they can't get in touch with too high-level insiders. However, it was not without progress, through the mouths of the people in the palace, it was learned that King Jiangxia suddenly dropped the dishes while eating, and punished an old slave who had followed him for many years for a trivial matter.

Seeing the subtle knowledge, these trivial matters show that the negotiation with the imperial envoy did not make the king of Jiangxia feel happy, but instead disturbed his mind, became angry with others, and became irritable and anxious.

From the change of behavior and habits, a lot of information can be deduced, but in information science, the reliability of a single information chain has always been not very good, not to mention multiple intersecting matrix chains, at least there must be a second information chain as evidence, in order to be able to draw conclusions based on this.

That night, Guo Fu suddenly came to the door and told Xu You that the envoy had left the palace, and if nothing else, he should go to Tan Xiaozu's mansion.

Xu You asked, "Does Guo Gong have any advice?" ”

Guo Fu said respectfully: "Lord Xun said that he is now being stared at by Yan Wan's people, and he can't help Lang Jun too much, he can only provide some insignificant information, and how to deal with it depends on Lang Jun's decision." ”

He paused, and then said: "However, when I went out, Lord Xun said again that Lang Jun must have read the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, and as the saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you will be able to get the tiger's ......."

Ban Chao envoy to the Western Regions, passing through Shanshanguo left an allusion to "not entering the tiger's den to get the tiger", and the situation he faced was somewhat similar to Xu You's now. According to the original plan, Xu You did not rule out following Ban Chao's example and killing the imperial court envoy, forcing the king of Jiangxia to have no choice. It's just that this is a policy, at that time, the Han State was strong and the Shanshan State was weak, and Ban Chao would not cause too much trouble by killing the envoy, but now the King of Jiangxia is strong and the King of Linchuan is weak, Fei Wan has to think about such a simple and rude way. Especially Zuoqiu Shoubai is likely to be Zuoqiu Sijin's younger brother, if he really wants to kill him, Zuoqiu Sijin will be a great obstacle.

Waiting for Guo Fu to leave the reverse brigade, Xu You asked Qingming and Zuoqiu Sijin to sneak into Tanfu and wait, looking for an opportunity to find out the identity of Zuoqiu Shoubai. He couldn't expose the secret of martial arts, and infiltrating Tanfu was obviously not something that ordinary people could do, so he could only let Qingming and Zuoqiu Sijin go.

Tanfu.

As the Sima of the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion, Tan Xiaozu's prestige resounded throughout the Wuxi barbarians, and the people in the capital knew him too superficially, one-sidedly thinking that he was just a more effective general, but I don't know who Fangming had commented on Tan Xiaozu back then: This son is the Great Wall of Jiangdong!

Zuoqiu Shoubai didn't wait too long, Tan Xiaozu walked out in civilian clothes, arched his hand and smiled: "Deal with some personal matters, let the envoy wait for a long time!" ”

In the peaceful season, it is not too much to dare to let the envoy of the Son of Heaven sit and wait with private affairs, and kill the family, but now even if he knows that Tan Xiaozu deliberately takes a posture, Zuoqiu Shoubai can only swallow this grievance with tears.

Strength is everything!

After the greetings, Zuoqiu Shoubai was too lazy to go around in circles, the situation was already clear, the two males stood side by side, and the people at the bottom only needed to stand in line, he took out a secret edict from his sleeve and handed it over, saying: "The lord wrote it himself, and I wish to seal the general as the assassin of Jingzhou, and supervise the military affairs of Jingyong, Liangjiang, and Hunan five states. ”

As the family said, it can be seen that An Xiuming is determined to win Tan Xiaozu, and Tan Xiaozu naturally showed gratitude, took the edict, and said: "No merit is not good, the Lord is so loving, Xiaozu is really ashamed!" ”

"If the general wants to make meritorious contributions, he will have a great merit right now, but I don't know if the general is willing to share the worries of the Lord?"

"But there is a life, and there is no death!"

"Good!" Zuoqiu Shou smiled at the corner of his white lips and said, "Please bring the general into the mansion, behead the king of Jiangxia, and hand it over to me to return to Beijing to restore my life." ”

About an hour later, there was a knock on the door, Xu You didn't need to ask, just looking at Zuoqiu Sijin's dejected expression, he knew that Zuoqiu Shoubai was really the Zuoqiu Wuzhi who disappeared many years ago. As for how he became King Hengyang's henchman, it is estimated that it is another story.

In fact, Xu You missed the opportunity to reunite with Qimo, otherwise he should have known at this time that the so-called other story is actually the same story, and he has also participated directly or indirectly, and then influenced each other's lives at a certain node......

Zuoqiu Sijin sat still, lowered his head, and after a long while, he spoke: "It's him!" Although so many years have passed, he has grown from a young child to a real man, but his appearance has not changed much, and he can still be seen as a child. Especially when walking, the shoulders are not moving, the pace is the same, and the pace is always so cautious and steady. ”

With the same name, similar appearance, and similar habits, people who practice martial arts are extremely sensitive to their six senses and six senses, that is to say, they will never be mistaken. Xu You said suddenly: "Are you sure to find out the news from him?" ”

"I ...... I'm not sure ......" Zuoqiu Sijin said: "I have been separated from Wuzhi for many years, and I dare not guarantee that he still recognizes my sister, and I still remember the friendship when I was a child, and it is my own master, and I can't help myself, if I go rashly, the consequences are unpredictable......"

"So, what if I'm going to kill him?"

"Huh?"

Zuoqiu Sijin raised his head suddenly, with the stunned and shocked in his eyes, and said, "Kill, kill him?" ”
