The second day when Xu Shu arrived in Yecheng, Yuan Shao was still hunting in Weishui and did not return, so he naturally could not receive Xu Shu, but Xu Shu was not anxious at all, but took the opportunity to arrange the itinerary to be full, at the beginning of the morning, Xu Shu took twenty people and two carriages out of the house, the two carriages seemed to be very heavy, and the four high-headed horses produced in Liangzhou were very difficult to pull together, and Xu Shu's entourage was needed to push forward, Rao was so, from the pavilion in the west of the city to Yuan Shaojun in the south of the city to engage in Xu You's mansion, Xu Shu and his party still took half an hour.

The door of Xu You's house was closed, Xu Shu personally went up and knocked on the door, a few times, the door was slightly pushed open, and a member of Xu You's family poked his head out and shouted fiercely: "Who are you?" Knocking on the door early in the morning? What's the matter? ”

It may be that he is used to being domineering in the city, and the Xu Yu family is very rude in their words, but Xu Shu didn't care, and said politely: "Please tell your lord, just say that Xu Shu and Xu Yuan of the Xiliang Army will come to visit the mansion, please meet Lord Xu." "When Xu Shu arrived in Yecheng yesterday, among Yuan Shaojun's important ministers, only Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, Xu You and Chen Lin did not go to greet Xu Shu, Tian Feng needless to say, has always hated Dong Boss to the bone, according to the intelligence of the Dark Moon Group and the Swallow Group, the other three are also inclined to join Cao to resist Dong, especially this Xu You and Cao Cao are old friends, and it is a major obstacle in the implementation of Dong Zhuojun's strategy.

"Not here!" The Xu Yu family roared, and the door was slammed shut. Xu Shu was not in a hurry, and went to knock on the door again, and after a while, the Xu You family opened the door angrily and yelled at Xu Shu: "I said that my master is not there, you are deaf and ......" Before the family's words were finished, a handful of yellow and clear gold coins had been stuffed into his hand. The family immediately changed their smiling expressions, nodded and whispered to Xu Shu: "This gentleman, in fact, the master of my family is at home, but the master explained that he can see all the guests, but he will not see the guests sent by King Kang." ”

"It's okay, please spread the news, Xu Shu came to see Lord Xu, not to talk about business, but because he admired Lord Xu's calligraphy and painting, and came to ask for advice." Xu Shu smiled, and the family was a little hesitant - but when ten more Dong Datou were stuffed into his hand, he immediately gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, please wait a moment, sir, the villain will go and say goodbye." ”

After another moment, the main door of Xu You's house finally opened, and a young man with oily hair and pink face came out, gave a casual salute, and said in a smooth tone: "The little nephew has seen Lord Xu, Xu Chengcheng is the father, and the father is occasionally infected with a minor illness, so he really can't meet Lord Xu, please go back first, and after the father recovers, he will come to the door to apologize in person." ”

Xu Shu smiled silently, shook his head slightly, and a servant immediately took a wooden box from the car, held it in front of Xu You's son and opened it, Xu You's son also immediately changed his expression, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, wait a minute, the little nephew will go and see if his father is better." With that, Xu You's son snatched the wooden box and happily went into the back hall.

It cost an ordinary Yongzhou family to earn money in a lifetime, Xu Shu finally had to enter the lobby of Xu You's house, Xu You, who had a cloth belt wrapped around his head, walked out of the back hall with the support of his son, and hugged his fist at Xu Shu and said: "I have seen Mr. Yuanzhi, but because you suddenly fell ill, I couldn't go out to greet you, forgive my sins." ”

"Lord Xu is too polite." Xu Shu smiled and gave Xu You a salute, and helped the panting Xu You to sit down, and then smiled again: "Xu Shu as early as Jingzhou, I often heard that Lord Xu's calligraphy and painting are unique, unparalleled in the world, Xu Shu has loved calligraphy since childhood, and got Yecheng yesterday, so he couldn't wait to meet Lord Xu, and hoped to be able to pay a look at Lord Xu's calligraphy." ”

Who is Xu Yu, how can he not know Xu Shu's intention? It's just that Xu You's house still has five hundred catties of gold sent by Cao Cao, so Xu You wants to excuse himself from illness. Who knew that Xu You's greedy son preemptively said: "Lord Xu, it's not impossible to see my father's Mobao, it's just that it's ......, and this pen fee is ......." ”

Xu Shu smiled slightly, slapped his slap twice with both hands, and the four servants immediately carried a large wooden box to the sunlight in front of the hall, the wooden box was opened, and the luxurious and luxurious lobby of Xu You's family suddenly flashed with golden light, so that people could hardly open their eyes - but Xu You and his son's eyes were twice as wide! The large wooden box was filled with a whole box full of gold bars!

"Lord Xu, it's just a small courtesy, it's not a respect, and the right to be a pen." Xu Shu smiled.

Xu You swallowed hard and said reluctantly: "Lord Xu is too polite, although Xu You's family is poor, he lives a frugal life and never accepts bribes from others, not to mention that this gift is so valuable, Xu You really doesn't dare to accept it." Xu You's son was in a hurry and was about to speak, but Xu You pinched him on his leg and signaled him to shut up.

"Lord Xu is honest and honest, who in the world doesn't know? Who doesn't know? Xu Shu dared to bribe Lord Xu? Xu Shu still smiled so politely, "It's just that these things outside the body are not given by Xu Shu to Lord Xu, but I want to buy a pair of ink treasures from Lord Xu, which is the income of Lord Xu's labor, but it is not considered that Xu Shu gave a bribe to Lord Xu." ”

"Father, write it." Xu You's son's eyes were green, and he urged repeatedly: "This is the income of your labor, don't hurt the incorruptibility, don't live up to Lord Xu's kindness." ”

Xu You looked at Xu Shu, and then at the bright gold outside the hall, hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't resist the temptation of gold, nodded and said: "Since Lord Xu can afford the villain's clumsy work, Xu You will be ugly once." Xu You calculated in his heart that he originally planned to resolutely oppose Dong Yuan's alliance, since he had received so much money from Dong Zhuo, he would change his position to neutrality, and he would not support or oppose it, as for whether Dong Yuan's alliance would succeed or not, it would be up to him Yuan Shao to decide.

Xu Shu was not very happy, Xu You's son smiled crookedly, quickly ran to hold the four treasures of the study, spread out a piece of white silk, and grinded ink with both hands, very busy, and finally dipped the wolf pen with ink, and handed it to Xu You respectfully. Xu Yu picked up the pen and was thinking about writing those words perfunctory Xu Shu, Xu Shu said again: "Lord Xu, the villain wants to ask Lord Xu to write four characters, I don't know if it's possible?" ”

Xu You didn't think about it, and replied casually: "Those four words? ”

"Liandong anti-Cao!" Xu Shu said with a smile, Xu You was taken aback, and with a shake of his hand, a large drop of ink suddenly fell on the silk, ruining a good piece of white silk.

"Father, I'll change you for a piece of silk." Xu You's greedy and idiot's son immediately offered his courtesy, and wanted to run to get the white silk again, Xu You grabbed him, put down the pen and said to Xu Shu: "Lord Xu, please bring back the gold, these four words, please forgive Xu You for not being able to write." ”

"Father, the four words 'Liandong Anti-Cao' are very easy, and children can write them." Xu You's son was in a hurry, grabbed the brush and wrote the four characters on the white silk, and shouted: "Father, do you see it?" It's these four words. ”

"Get out of the way!" Xu You angrily reprimanded his idiot son, turned his head to Xu Shu and said, "Lord Xu, please go back, Xu You really can't write those four words." As he spoke, Xu Yu tried not to look at the gold outside, lest he could not resist the temptation.

"Lord Xu, don't worry." Xu Shu grabbed Xu Yu and said with a smile: "A box of gold can't buy those four words, I don't know if it's enough now?" ”

Before Xu Shu's words fell, Xu You's son had already lost his voice and shouted: "Oh my God! "There must be a son and a father, Xu You has always been greedy, and he couldn't help but glance outside the hall, but after just one glance, Xu You's small eyes immediately widened three times - from the lobby of Xu You's house to the fifty steps from the gate, I don't know when a gold road with a width of four feet has been paved with gold bars! Lovely gold sparkles in the early spring sun with a dazzling, coveted glow!

Xu Shu smiled and looked at Xu You's father and son, and Xu You's father and son looked like they were all infatuated, and their throats were making beast-like grunts. After that, Xu You walked quickly towards the back hall, Xu You's son was disappointed, but Xu You stood in front of the back hall door, and threw down another sentence, "Xu You does his best, whether he succeeds or not, it is still up to the lord to decide." ”

Xu Shu was overjoyed, "Thank you, Lord Xu." ”

Coming out of Xu You's house, Xu Shu looked at the sun, it was close to noon, and Xu You's son's ecstatic voice came from the courtyard, "Quick, go to the treasury like all the gold, if anyone dares to hide one privately, I will skin him!" Hearing this voice, an inscrutable smile appeared on the corner of Xu Shu's mouth, and he said in his heart: "Those who are greedy will be stingy!" It seems that Xu You will never need this gold in his life, and he may never have imagined that the gold bars given by King Kang will ......"

……

In Chang'an City, Huang Yueying returned to Wen Lu's room in King Kang's Mansion with a straight face, and Wen Lu quipped: "What's wrong with Sister Yueying?" Did the musket you make fail again? ”

"It's not." Huang Yueying said with a sad face: "The musket I made this time will definitely work, but the lead in the Xianggong's special toolmaking workshop has been used up by Xianggong, and I can't make lead bullets, so the musket can't be tested, and it will take a few days to be transferred." ”

"Strange? What is lead used for? ”

"I don't know, the craftsmen in the workshop seem to have been warned by the minister not to divulge the ...... of the use of lead."

……

The location returned to Yecheng, the time was noon and noon, Xu Shu refused the banquet invited by Yuan Shang, but brought a car of fine wine from Yizhou to visit the home of the frustrated professor, and the frustrated professor did not want to see Xu Shu, but when the frustrated professor of good wine heard that Xu Shu brought the authentic konjac sauce wine produced in Yibin in central Sichuan (PS: the predecessor of Wuliangye), the greedy worm was moved, and he couldn't help but meet Xu Shu, Xu Shu didn't talk about business at all, just asked the frustrated professor to taste and evaluate the wine, and after the frustrated professor poured a jar of fine wine, Xu Shu told the frustrated professor that Yizhou was destroyed by Liu Yan last year. What a difficult story it is for Kang Peng and the people of Yizhou to keep this strange wine, especially in order to prevent the centuries-old ancient cellar from losing its cellar properties because there is no wine to brew, and to save money to send the saved grain to the wine cellar, but Kang Peng himself is starving. Speaking of sadness, Xu Shu and Fu Zhu both burst into tears, and Fu Zhu even left the table and bowed down to the west, thanking Kang Peng for his kindness in protecting wine. The attitude towards the alliance between Dong Zhuojun and Yuan Shaojun also changed from hesitation and opposition to neutrality.

At night, Xu Shu invited Yuan Shaojun master Bo Chen Lin to the pavilion to drink, Chen Lin did not want to contact Dong Zhuojun, but Xu Shu was generous, as soon as he made a move, he gave Chen Lin a volume of "Taichu Calendar" written by Sima Qian, a famous master of the Han Dynasty, Chen Linzhen had to obediently go to the pavilion to go to the banquet, during the banquet, Xu Shu called out two beautiful girls who were good at singing and dancing to dance to cheer up, Chen Lin, who was well-behaved, did not squint, not like other guests so with the beautiful dancer eyebrows, and Xu Shu did not care, also generously asked Ling'er to toast Chen Lin, during the conversation, the old-fashioned Chen Lin found that Ling'er couldn't help but talk well, and was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so that Chen Lin, who has always been clean and self-loving, couldn't help but talk a few more words with her, wine and beauty, unconsciously, Chen Lin couldn't help but get drunk......

When Chen Lin woke up, it was already a rooster crowing all over the place, Chen Lin reached out to touch his sore head, and suddenly found that his whole body was **, and he found that there was still a person lying in his arms, when he looked closely, it was the girl Ling'er who was very pleased with him last night, Chen Lin was shocked, hurriedly lifted the quilt and looked again, only looked at it, Chen Lin couldn't help but scream, "Bitter!" "It turns out that Ling'er is also a full-body**, there is no shirt on her fine white skin, and there is a shocking pool of bright red blood on Ling'er's smooth lower body!

Ling'er is still asleep, but Chen Lin is in turmoil, although he has been an official eunuch for generations, but Chen Lin has never been as fond of lust as other eunuchs, only loves to read sage books, and has always been proud of not being greedy for beauty, but now ......, to be honest, Chen Lin doesn't remember what happened last night, but vaguely remembers that he was helped to this room after he was drunk last night, and took off his clothes for himself, and then Chen Lin couldn't remember anything. But Ling'er's torn clothes on the ground, as well as the pool of blood on Ling'er's lower body, clearly showed what happened here last night......

"Mr. Kong Zhang, Duke Yuan has returned to Yecheng and is scheduled to summon Yu Xu Shu at the time of Chen." Just as Chen Lin seemed to be panicked, Xu Shu suddenly pushed the door in and said: "It's not early, Mr. Kong Zhang and Xu Shu went to see Yuan ...... together" Xu Shu's words stopped, rushed over with blood-red eyes, grabbed Chen Lin's clothes on his body, and yelled: "Chen Lin, you brute!" I, Xu Shu, thought you were a righteous gentleman and treated you like a brother, but what did you do to the dancing girl that King Kang gave me? ”

Chen Lin's face was flushed, her mouth was stammering, and she didn't know what to say for a while. At this time, Ling'er was also woken up by Xu Shu, and when she saw her whole body, Ling'er immediately screamed, hugged her crisp chest and shrunk to the side and cried, like a girl who had just been lost by **.

"Slut!" The furious Xu Shu let go of Chen Lin, grabbed Ling'er's hair, slapped Ling'er hard, and scolded: "Say, what happened to you last night? ”

"Return to the master." Ling'er, who was dismantled in a cloak, cried: "The slave maid was ordered by the master last night to send the drunk Chen to this room to rest, and the slave and maid were about to go back to the room after removing the coat for the old man, but the old man Chen suddenly hugged the slave and maid, and tore the slave and maid's clothes, and the slave and maid did not dare to obey, saying that they were the slave and maid rewarded by the king, if the slave and the maid's life was good, maybe it would be the master's concubine, but the old man Chen ignored the slave's plea, and tore all the slave and maid's clothes, and then ......, and then put the slave and the maid **. Speaking of this, Ling'er burst into tears, crying to death.

"Then why don't you call it?" Xu Shu preemptively asked the question in Chen Lin's heart.

"The slave's mouth was blocked by Master Chen, and she couldn't scream." Ling'er cried and said, "If you don't believe it, please see, the slave's mouth was bitten by Master Chen." ”

Xu Shu and Chen Lin looked together, and sure enough, Ling'er's bright red little mouth had a row of obvious tooth marks above and below, obviously biting not lightly. Hearing Ling'er's cry and seeing Ling'er's scars, Chen Lin no longer had any doubts in his heart, and collapsed on the bed in despair, and the big men were rolling down with tears, it's over, it's completely over, thirty-eight years of innocent reputation, and the pride of several generations of scholars, are completely over today. blamed himself for being obsessed with his mind for a while, forgetting all the honor of his ancestors and the teachings of the saints......

"Chen Lin, old thief!" Xu Shu's dark and thin face turned blue with anger, and he yelled at Chen Lin: "In vain, you are still a scholar, and you actually raped the concubine given to me by the king!" You say it yourself, what to do? ”

What else can Chen Lin do? After crying for a long time, he choked up and said: "Mr. Yuanzhi, blame me, blame me for being drunk and promiscuous......"

"Fart!" The angry Xu Shu interrupted Chen Lin's prayer very incivilly, let go of Ling'er again, grabbed Chen Lin's clothes and shouted: "Go, go with me to see Yuan Gong, please Yuan Gong, please all the people of Ye City, preside over justice for me Xu Shu!" ”

After speaking, Xu Shu, who was so angry that he was smoking, ignored Chen Lin's fact that he only wore a coat on his upper body, and was about to pull Chen Lin out, Chen Lin was so frightened that his soul flew away, and he broke free of Xu Shu's hand and knelt down towards Chen Lin, kowtowing like mud, crying and begging for mercy: "Mr. Yuanzhi, I can't go, please spare me this time, please ......." ”

"No way!" Xu Shu said with a blushing face: "The hatred of killing my father, the hatred of taking my wife, you insult my concubine, it is equivalent to insulting my wife, we have to count this account!" ”

"I'm not a human, I'm a brute!" Every time Chen Lin scolded himself, he slapped himself and cried: "Mr. Yuanzhi, I'm sorry for you, I'm not a person, as long as Mr. Yuanzhi lets me go this time, I will rely on Mr. Yuanzhi for everything, isn't Mr. Yuanzhi here to match the alliance between your and our two armies?" I just want to fight for my life, and I want to help Mr. Yuanzhi complete the mission, I just ask Mr. Yuanzhi to let me go this time, and it is not good for Mr. Yuanzhi's reputation to say this. ”

It was probably Chen Lin's last sentence that reminded Xu Shu, Xu Shu didn't come up to pull Chen Lin anymore, but stood aside with a blue face and panted, while Chen Lin and Ling'er knelt at Xu Shu's feet, crying and begging for mercy. After a long time, Xu Shu sighed, "Alas...... the matter has come to this point, and I can't do anything else, are you really willing to help me complete my mission?" ”

"Yes, yes." Chen Lin saw a glimmer of hope, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Chen Lin, even if he doesn't want to fight for his life, he has to help Mr. match the alliance in front of the lord." ”

Xu Shu shook his head, squatted down and said to Chen Lin: "That's not all, I still have one more thing for you to do, I heard that you write a good book, you write me a ......"
