Du Mingyu didn't get angry, his eyebrows raised slightly, and said, "Why?" ”

"The reason is simple, I don't want to be reversed!" Xu You said directly, and said: "I am a citizen of Da Chu, a descendant of the Xu family, and my ancestors have a testament, I would rather die than be disobedient!" ”

"Oh," Du Mingyu's eyes gradually turned cold, and said, "From the reverse? Qilang misunderstood, we started the incident to help the prince, and when the big thing is done, the prince ascends the throne, this is from the dragon's work, how can it be reversed? ”

"What if it doesn't work?"

Du Mingyu laughed suddenly and said, "Qilang is a smart person, but he also talks foolishly. Success or failure, three points of personnel and seven points of destiny, from the dragon's work, how can it be so easy to obtain? ”

Xu You shook his head slowly and said, "I don't dare to follow the dragon or rebel, I just want to live a peaceful life in Qiantang for the small people in the market." If the sacrificial wine really has no ill will towards me, why not just let me go? In the future, whether it is the prince or the lord, that is what the nobles should worry about. I'm just a cloth coat, it's just an ant for you, it's useless to stay, it's a pity to kill it, it's better to go back! ”

Du Mingyu was speechless for a while, it seemed that he couldn't convince Xu You today, and said: "Qilang will go back and rest first, this matter is very important, you don't have to rush to refuse, you can think carefully before making a decision." ”

Xu You was taken to the third floor of the main building that was once reserved for the county order to stay, Xu You was taken by two subordinates in dark gold uniforms, a sentry was set up at the door, and there was a wall several meters high outside the window, Xu You's martial arts were lost, and he was not afraid that he would escape, so there were no measures such as binding, except that he could not go out at will, and there was no difference between himself and his own house in the house.

The supply of three meals a day is timely and varied, Xu You deliberately tried to take a bath, and after a while, the moderately warm bath barrel was brought in, and a complete set of clothes from the inside out was also intimately delivered. At night, Du Mingyu sent someone to ask Xu You how he was thinking, but Xu You still insisted on his original attitude, and there was no follow-up.

After spending seven days in this way, I saw Du Mingyu again, or in the pavilion in the middle of the lake in the back garden, Du Mingyu set up wine, a few dishes of exquisite side dishes and desserts, his face was not as pale as the last time he saw it, a little more ruddy, and the internal injuries should be almost healed.

He was very interested, poured a full wine for Xu You, and said, "Come, this cup of congratulations for the entire Huiji County falling into my hands!" ”

"There are four major gates of Kong, He, Yu and Wei in Huiji, there are a lot of private soldiers, and most of them have dock forts built in dangerous places, in just a few days, the various departments under the command of the sacrificial wine can capture the entire territory of Huiji, and the combat effectiveness is really amazing."

"The four surnames Li Yu and Wei are not worth mentioning, although Kong and He are powerful, they are not considered to be strong in force, and the private soldiers who raise them are okay, but they are far from fighting. As for the dock fort, no matter how strong the dock fort is, it is difficult to defeat the internal discord, Kong He's thousands of slaves, many of them are my Taoist people, arrange people to set fire to cause riots in advance, and then arrange people to secretly open the fort door, these gate valves have not been disturbed by war in recent decades, and they have long forgotten how to deal with mutations, and such carving insect tricks can make them panic and lose the foundation on which the entire family depends. ”

Xu You suddenly remembered what He Wei had said: The gate valves surnamed Jiangdong seem to be indestructible, but in fact, the inside has begun to gradually rot, and the appearance of being strong on the outside and dry in the middle can frighten the people, and even make the emperor restless, but as long as someone dares to stand up and raise their arms, they will find that it is far easier to defeat these gate valves than it seems.

Despite this, Xu You still felt frightened, Heavenly Master Dao suddenly attacked this time, I don't know how many years of preparation he had been behind his back, how many chess pieces had been used, and just the tip of the iceberg that had been opened now made people shudder. Thinking about An Zidao's respect for the Buddha and suppressing the Tao over the years, he spared no effort, and he sent him to go into battle to strip Sun Guan's clothes, which was really prescient. In other words, in his position, he should be able to feel the sense of oppression brought by the Heavenly Master Dao more, so he changed the established national policy of the first emperor and suppressed the Dao Gate to the death, and he was ruthless and merciless.

It's just that An Zidao didn't expect that the resistance of the Heavenly Master Dao would be so stormy, and he directly tore his face and took off my clothes, right? Okay, strip naked and you.

Simple, straightforward, brutal, yet effective!

As soon as the meeting was lost, Linhai County, Dongyang County, and Yongjia County immediately opened their doors, and there was no danger to defend, and within half a month, they would also fall into the hands of the enemy, with the population, land, wealth and resources of these counties, the Tianshi Army could be replenished and repaired in time, and the situation in Yangzhou would be further eroded.

"Congratulations on the sacrificial wine!"

Xu You drank the contents of the cup, and he didn't know what it tasted like in his heart, Du Mingyu didn't care about his emotions, kept pouring wine and persuading him to drink, and drank several glasses in a row, and then squinted his eyes and asked, "What did Qilang think about about the matter of Yuwen?" ”

Xu You smiled bitterly: "The sacrificial wine is to roast me on the fire......" He played with the wine glass in his hand, and his tone was understated, but there was a sense of determination: "But it's still the same sentence, I'd rather die than let the family be ashamed." If the sacrificial wine has to force me, then I can only die! ”

Xu You is afraid of death, but he has been a human being in two lives, and he has died once, and his heart is much more open-minded than ordinary people.

If you're afraid, you won't die? There is no such beautiful thing in the world, if you really want to die, it is better to die with some dignity. Rather than being executed by the imperial court after rebellion, it is better to die in the thief army, at least you can leave a good name.

Du Mingyu stared at Xu You coldly, if his eyes were substantial, if he changed others, he was afraid that he would have been nervous for a long time, and his forehead was sweating, but Xu You sat as usual, calm, the kind of cloud and breeze that put life and death outside the degree, and he couldn't pretend to be it.

He really has the will to die!

Du Mingyu stopped talking, and walked away in disappointment.

In the inner room of the second hall of the county government, Liu Yan heard that Xu You still refused to write an essay for the Heavenly Master Army, and suddenly became evil in his heart, and said: "Little God, I know Xu You, he is as cunning as a fox, and he will never give in if he does not let him suffer a little." ”

He didn't call Du Mingyu a sacrificial wine, but he used the little god, if Xu You heard it, he would definitely be suspicious. Du Mingyu shook his head and told Liu Yan, "You are not allowed to touch him, do you hear?" ”

"Little God, I was doing things in Qiantang, and I was repeatedly troubled by Xu You, if he hadn't been in the way, I would have raised military funds before, at least tens of millions of dollars......"

"I know you have a grudge against him, but the Five Heavens personally confessed, and you must ensure Xu You's safety in Qiantang, do you dare to listen to her words?"

At the mention of the Five Heavenly Lords, Liu Yan's eyes flashed with fear, but he felt unwilling, and asked tentatively: "Why do the Five Heavenly Lords want to protect Xu You, it is said that we have never had any friendship with the Yixing Xu family. This one...... Could it be that because Xu Youshi Fu did a good job, he became famous in half of the wall, and the Five Heavens had the idea of loving talents......"

"Shut up!"

Du Mingyu's handsome face was slightly distorted, and the erect anger emanated from his body, and the invisible coercion immediately made the air in the room begin to freeze.

Liu Yan knelt down and said tremblingly: "The subordinates know that they are wrong, and the little God is angry!" ”

"Get out!"

Liu Yan bent down and retreated to the door, turned around and opened the door to go out, and waited far away from the second hall to calm down his frightened mood a little. He vaguely felt that the little god seemed to have special feelings for the five gods, and he had deliberately provoked him when he said that just now, and he wanted to give Xu You some hardship, but he almost set himself on fire.

Stand still, feel the increasingly hot light of the sun overhead, this weather is really not life-threatening, and if it continues to be so dry, not to mention Yangzhou, the entire Jiangdong will suffer from the catastrophe.

But that's okay, after a disaster, people who don't want to rebel can only follow the rebellion in order to survive, and the Heavenly Master Army will be even more powerful, and when the time comes, they can occupy Yangzhou, and they can sweep the world, what kind of pleasure is that?

Liu Yan turned a corner and went around to the main building that was backward.

Xu You expected that Liu Yan would come to see him, but he didn't expect it to be delayed for seven days. He stood in front of the window, the beautiful scenery of the back garden fell into full view, and he turned around and smiled: "General Liu is full of spring breeze, it seems that the news of the Pingding Huiji County has not affected your mood." ”

"This is a great joy, why does Xu Langjun think it will affect my mood?"

"It is indeed a great joy, but it is a great joy for others. General Liu led his troops to take Qiantang, and Yu Tianshi can be called the first merit, but compared with the whole territory of Huiji, it seems to be much inferior......"

Liu Yan darkened his face and said, "If you hand over the 70 million money, the first credit will be mine!" ”

"Seventy million dollars, I don't seem to care about the sacrificial wine at all......"

"He doesn't care, I do!"

Liu Yan grabbed Xu You's collar, smiled very gloomily, and said: "The sacrificial wine is in charge of the overall situation, and the money of the four surnamed gate lords in Huiji County alone is immeasurable, but the money has to be supplied to all kinds of soldiers and horses, sent to Heming Mountain to the Heavenly Master, and has to be related in all aspects, and not a penny can reach my hands." So, your 70,000,000,000 is a small amount to him, but not to me. I brought these horses out of Qiantang single-handedly, and the brothers worked hard, aren't they just for money and women? 70 million dollars, Lao Tzu is going to decide! ”

Xu You smiled and said, "General Liu, calm down, you have promised me that you will give me enough courtesy!" ”

"Phew!"

Liu Yan clenched his fist and wanted to smash it Xu You's nasty-looking face, but the moment he made his move, the words of the Five Heavens suddenly appeared in his mind, and his tense fist slowly put it down again.

"Xu You, people can't be untrustworthy, we said it when we were at the West City Gate, I will let your subordinates leave, you hand over 70 million money, what's the matter, now you want to regret it?"

"No, what I said at the time was 'General Liu as a guarantor, let these subordinates of mine leave, and I will stay as a hostage until the general finds the 70 million money', but I don't guarantee when the general will find it!"

"You!" Liu Yan knew that he had been fooled by Xu You, so he was very angry and sneered: "Is it true that your subordinates left safely?" I had already arranged for someone to stop me on the way north to Wu County, and I forgave them for not being able to escape! Wait until you catch them all, and see how long you can get your mouth hard! ”

Xu You's expression changed, and he said, "Liu Yan, what kind of hero are you who go back on your word!" ”

Liu Yan pinched Xu You's seven inches, smiled proudly, and said, "Each other, each other!" You are unkind, I am unjust, there is nothing to say! ”

Waiting for him to leave, a smile overflowed from the corner of Xu You's lips. That night, he deliberately said that he would let Zuo Yan and them go to Wu County to defect to Gu Yun, just to mislead Liu Yan, in fact, according to the plan, Zuo Yan and the others should have hid in the secret room of Mingyu Mountain, where there is food and living water, enough for dozens of people to hide for three or five months.

Liu Yan is either lying and intimidating, preparing to gradually destroy Xu You's will; Either they really send someone to intercept it, but they are destined to be empty.

However, this is not the main thing, Xu You deliberately provoked Liu Yan just now, trying to verify a guess in his heart. But he was ready to be beaten, but strangely, Liu Yan held back.

This time is different from the past, even if Du Mingyu has a strict order, Liu Yan can't be punished by himself, but a small punishment should not be a problem, the two of them had such a deep holiday before, and if they were themselves, Xu You didn't dare to guarantee that he could endure it.

It can be seen that Du Mingyu's courtesy to him, Liu Yan's forbearance of him, and there is something else behind him, but Xu You doesn't know what this "Qiankun" is!
