Cao Yu's eyes were very dull, as soon as he opened his eyes, everything around him was blurry, like a cloud, but Li Su's annoying smile was extremely clear in the pupils, and the clearer it was, the more annoying it was.

"Thankfully, I made a quick decision!"

Seeing that Cao Yu was unharmed, Li Su turned his head and boasted of his exploits to Wang Zhu and Zheng Xiaolou, taking advantage of Cao Yu's failure to open his mouth to characterize the beating of him first, and to occupy the moral high ground first.

"Cao Tingshi is really naughty, he stuffs everything into his mouth, poison, it may taste good, but it will definitely be fatal, he also stuffs ...... in his mouth" Li Su said and didn't forget to turn around, throwing Cao Yu a disgusted look of "You are so naughty".

As the audience, Zheng Xiaolou and Wang Zhu had different reactions, Zheng Xiaolou's cheeks twitched twice, decided to ignore him, turned his head to look at the blue sky and white clouds outside the house, and Wang Zhu, grinning, big head little by little, obviously agreed with Li Su's words, while listening to Li Su's boasting, he did not forget to throw a warning look at Cao Yu "Don't be greedy in the future".

"What do you mean by quick eyes? Seeing Cao Tingshi swallowing the poison, I immediately slammed into his abdomen, and so on many times, the poison that entered the throat could not slide into the abdomen at all under the heavy blow, and after a few more slams, the poison was beaten out by me......" Li Su boasted very devotedly, and finally faced the west with piety, sighing: "The merit is immeasurable, good and good......"

After speaking, Li Su turned to look at Cao Yu, who was sluggish, stared at his eyes, and said very seriously: "So, I just saved your life, you should thank me." ”

Cao Yu was still in pain, glanced at Li Su blankly, and then closed his eyes, he was hesitating whether to pretend to faint.

Thinking about it and feeling unwilling, Cao Yu opened his eyes and stared at him. He said hoarsely, "You...... Deliberately! ”

Li Su was stunned: "You swallowed the poison yourself, what does it have to do with me?" ”

"The poison spat out,...... You beat me up. Cao Yu was weak, but his eyes were angry.

Li Su's eyes blinked quickly: "Spit it out?" I didn't see it, I was in a hurry to save people, and my mind was blank......"

Cao Yu said angrily: "I have heard it...... You say step on it a few more times. It's a rare opportunity. ”

Li Su looked at him sympathetically: "Cao Tingshi, I have to tell you a common sense, after people take medicine, they will have visual and auditory hallucinations, and they will be delirious and talk nonsense, so you must have had auditory hallucinations just now, even now, you are still delirious." Otherwise, I wouldn't be angry at my life-saving benefactor, and a normal person who is sane can't do such a thing......"

Cao Yu: "............"

How good it is to die just now, at least it is better than living and dying now.

…………

The poison was spit out, and people couldn't die, but Cao Yu's injuries were not light, and they were all beaten by Li Su.

Since Li Su took office in Xizhou, he has had a lot of grievances with Cao Yu for nearly a year. You fought each other back and forth, and in the end, Li Su's strong and reckless approach finally gained the upper hand. Step by step, Cao Yu was elevated, and now the people and businessmen in Xizhou City gradually only know about Li Beijia, but do not hear the history of Cao Ting.

But Li Su also had a lot of resentment towards Cao Yu, especially instructing the Turkic cavalry to attack the camp twice, and almost killed Xu Mingzhu the second time. After all, in fact, it didn't cause any big evil consequences, and it was not small to say that it was small, but it was just such a line, and it would cause eternal hatred, and the so-called heart could be punished. It should be on Cao Yu.

Therefore, Li Su beat Cao Yu just now, and he was so mad that he had the idea of revenge in his heart.

The opportunity is indeed rare, staggered today, Cao Yu is the boss, Li Su is the lower official, everyone before and after everyone has to be polite and courteous, tell the truth and tell lies, anger and murder can be, but you just can't do it, and today is ...... It's really God's favor, send this excellent opportunity to beat people to Li Su, and there are no sequelae after the beating, Cao Yu's conscience is not eaten by dogs, and he has to sincerely thank him after being beaten by Li Su......

As for Cao Yu's feelings...... It doesn't matter, Li Su thinks that people who have died once should at least know how to be grateful.

"Why save me?" After Cao Yu relieved himself, he endured the pain and asked: "If I die, you will no longer be hindered in controlling Xizhou, my death will be beneficial and harmless to you, why do you want to save me?" ”

Li Su said with a smile: "Don't say that Xizhou is like a sweet pastry, such a poor city, what can I do even if I control it?" In fact, when I first came to take office, I didn't have any thoughts about power, you may not have heard of me, I am a very lazy person, lazy to be outrageous, if it weren't for you and the officials below being aggressive, bent on getting rid of me or driving me out of Xizhou, I wouldn't have been involved in these things at all, I originally planned to build a house in Xizhou, and lie down, sit, or half-lie and half-sit in the house every day, and do nothing, until His Majesty recalled me back to Chang'an, or...... Die in this house. ”

Cao Yu was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "It turns out that ...... Today, I am forced into my own situation. ”

Li Su smiled and sighed: "At the beginning, you shouldn't treat me as an enemy, but unfortunately, before you saw my face, you instructed the Turks to attack the camp outside Yumen Pass. ”

"But why do you want to save me today?" Cao Yu looked up at him.

Li Su smiled again: "As you just said, no matter what you have done in the past few years, Xizhou is still under the rule of the Tang Dynasty after all, I am not qualified to judge your merits, but I think you don't deserve to die in my heart, so I saved you, and ...... again."

Li Su's tone was stunned, and his eyes were a little different: "Besides, if you sip poison, you will die if you close your feet and kick it, but if you die in front of me, how can I tell you clearly in the future?" Your Majesty and the courtiers of the three provinces, who believes that you committed suicide? This black cauldron must not be carried on my head in the end? Do I have a face that is good at carrying a black pot? So...... If you still want to die, I won't stop you, please find a place with a lot of people, and swallow the poison in front of everyone, and then I will definitely bury Lord Thorn Shi. ”

Cao Yu wanted to faint again, this person's mouth was really ...... If I hadn't been beaten and lay on the ground and couldn't move, I really wanted to walk away.

Cao Yu didn't want to speak, and Li Su suddenly quieted down.

Wang Zhu and Zheng Xiaolou glanced at each other, and consciously got up and left the front hall. Only Li Su and Cao Yu were left in the huge front hall.

I don't know how long it took, Li Su said slowly: "Cao Tingshi, from my heart, what you have done in the past few years is not necessarily wrong, if I had been you back then, maybe I would have done the same thing as you." It's even more excessive, but since the matter has been revealed, your actions can't be justified in front of His Majesty and the courtiers of the three provinces, so you have committed a mortal crime......"

Cao Yu looked at him in surprise when he heard this: "What do you mean ......?"

Li Su was silent again, and then suddenly smiled: "I don't mean anything, what Cao Tingshi has done in Xizhou in the past few years, I don't know anything, I haven't seen anything." It's just that if anyone else knows about it, I can't guarantee what will happen......"

Cao Yu was stunned, and then an ecstatic expression appeared on his face.

Li Su's words are clearly to let him go, this inside story was dug up by Li Su, if Chang'an is played, Cao Yu will definitely die, but Li Su's choice is to refill the dug things and cover them. Just as if he hadn't dug anything, compared to being beaten just now. Li Su's words are the real life-saving grace.

"Thank you...... Thank you Lee, don't drive. Cao Yu burst into tears and was grateful.

Li Su smiled and said, "Don't be in a hurry to thank me first, I have to make an appointment with you." ”

"Li Beijia, please speak." Cao Yu's attitude towards Li Su at this moment is completely different.

Li Su said solemnly: "With all due respect, Cao Jianshi's history is a mess whether he governs the people or the army. Otherwise, I will not do this policy of privately raising foreign troops, Xizhou is in danger, I want the army and people in Xizhou to return to their hearts, and the whole army to repair the city and hoard food and equipment, etc., so ...... Before I was transferred out of Western State. I want all the power of Cao Tingshi, can you agree? ”

Cao Yu was said by Li Su to be red-faced, if he had changed the beginning, I am afraid that he would have turned his face a long time ago, but today is different from the past, although his identity has not changed, but ...... Something has changed, becoming subtle and ineffable.

"I promise." Cao Yu's answer was very happy, with Li Su's recent strength, especially after the victory in the battle to defend the city, he has become the de facto assassin of Xizhou, and whether he agrees or not cannot change the facts.

Now that the power is in hand, Li Su does not feel any joy, but his heart is getting heavier and heavier.

Because the huge crisis is getting closer and closer, the Gaochang army that attacked the city a few days ago is likely to be just a vanguard of the alliance of the Western Regions, and it will be the main force of the Western Regions army that will follow.

In contrast, Cao Yu, who suddenly relinquished power, seemed to be much more relaxed, and seemed to have forgotten even the revenge that had been beaten just now, and asked in a bystander tone: "Don't drive to defeat the enemy the day before yesterday, it's a great achievement, but I heard that the main force of the Western Regions will arrive in the future, how to deal with it?" ”

Li Su sighed: "Try your best to defend it, if you really can't hold it, you can only abandon the city, and I will never do such a stupid thing as dying with the city......"

Cao Yu was stunned for a moment, and said hurriedly: "But if Your Majesty blames ...... in the future."

Li Su glanced at him and said, "You are a thorn in history, of course you blame you for not being able to defend the city, I just don't drive it...... And it's a kid. ”

***************************************************************

The jade door was closed.

Cheng Chumo looked at the confrontation not far away, he knew both sides, one was Tian Renhui, the guard of the Yumen Gate, and the other was Li Su's wife Xu, after Li Su and Xu Mingzhu got married, Cheng Chumo came to the Li family in Taiping Village, and occasionally saw Xu Mingzhu a few times, in his impression, Xu Mingzhu was a taciturn and well-behaved woman, when he saw Cheng Chumo from a distance, he just lowered his head, bowed silently, and then hid in the inner courtyard with interest, never spoke to Cheng Chumo, and was as timid as a rabbit.

But at this moment today, this timid rabbit is actually ...... Hijacked the Yumen guards?

Cheng Chumo only felt that his eyes were black, and after rubbing his eyes over and over again, he finally admitted that the scene in front of him was real.

But...... What the hell is going on?

After Xu Mingzhu saw Cheng Chumo, her tears never stopped.

This kind of joy is not just as simple as meeting old acquaintances in a foreign country, when he is in a desperate situation, he can meet his husband's brother, Xu Mingzhu's first thought is...... The husband is saved!

Cheng Chumo still didn't understand the situation, he was ordered by his father, led more than 1,000 unarmored veterans of Cheng's Zhuangzi, galloped thousands of miles to help Xizhou, and hurried day and night.

Fang Lao Wu's dagger was still on Tian Renhui's neck, keeping a distance of about a zhang from the guards, the two sides were still deadlocked, Cheng Chumo was a rough man, and the typical helper did not care, he didn't bother to ask the reason for the situation in front of him, there was only one judgment in his heart, Xu Mingzhu is a younger brother and sister, an acquaintance, and Tian Renhui is also an acquaintance, but there is definitely no younger brother and sister familiar, so he ......

"So many people are bullying a weak woman, do you guys in Yumen Pass still have to be shameless? Phew! Cheng Chumo spat on the ground full of disdain, and then raised his big hand: "Come on, surround them for me!" Brother and sister, don't panic, you come over first and explain things clearly. ”

With a hula, thousands of veterans of the Cheng family Zhuangzi surrounded more than a dozen personal guards. (To be continued......)
