Fei Xun looked serious, and the old man's eyes were like a torch, as if he had rekindled from the ashes, and this time he was going to burn even more vigorously.

Xu Ji shook his head slightly, "Please don't say anything further, Lord Fei." ”

"Why, you think I'm too old to do such a thing? Or do you think I'm trying to get you in, but I'm staying out of it? I am indeed old, but I am not old enough to sit and wait for death, and I will not let Xu Gongzi go to Longtan alone, you and I will join forces, and I will bear all the responsibility afterwards. ”

Xu Ji still shook his head.

Fei Yu said angrily: "If I wasn't worried that I wouldn't have a chance to get close to King Liang, I wouldn't have invited Xu Gongzi at all." When Xu Gongzi single-handedly touched the Son of Heaven, how brave and sharp, only a year apart, but he became timid, is the people of Yecheng not worthy of your rescue, or do you think that I Fei Xin is not trustworthy? ”

Xu Ji said: "The Emperor of All Things is arbitrary, like the head of a beast, he can be killed, although King Liang is the master of an army, most of the soldiers are seconded......"

"I understand what you mean, but getting rid of King Liang can cause a little accident, Yecheng can have a few days of respite because of this, maybe the Jizhou army in Xijing will have time to rush back - if they are still there."

"There is no chance to get rid of King Liang......"

"Yes, as long as Xu Gongzi lowers his tone a little and claims that he is willing to assist King Liang, he will be summoned again. When the time comes, I pretend to be angry and denounce your betrayal in public, and King Liang will definitely pass me on and hand it over to you to dispose of. You find a way to get the guards to leave, take the opportunity to do it, and when you succeed, hand over the weapon to me, you run out and shout, and push everything to me. ”

"Master Fei...... Think a lot. ”

"Of course, I have already considered it all, what Xu Gongzi lost is nothing more than a little reputation, I will write a letter, Xu Gongzi will hide it on his body, and transfer it to Lord Huanyan afterwards, she will understand everything, and she can only be grateful to Xu Gongzi."

Fei Xun was obsessed with this idea, and he was already a little crazy.

Xu Ji had to say: "Please wait for two or three more days, Lord Fei......"

"I can't wait, the situation in Yecheng is critical, and it's already burning my eyebrows."

"If Yecheng can't support it for even two or three days, what's the benefit of saving it?"

Fei Yu was stunned for a while, and reluctantly said: "Okay, I'll wait for two or three days, I hope Xu Gongzi is not perfunctory to me." ”

"For this meal of wine and meat, I will not be perfunctory. But I said that in two or three days, I would not do it, but give Mr. Fei an answer. ”

"After two or three days, if you still don't want to participate, I will think of another way myself, and I hope that Xu Gongzi will stay out of the matter and don't talk too much."

"I'm sure I can do that."

Fei Xun relied on a full force to support, once he relaxed a little, he immediately released like a flood, and he couldn't stop it anymore, the light in his eyes quickly dimmed, and his body slowly shrank, "Xu Gongzi eat slowly, I want to ...... I'll have to lie down for a while. ”

"I've eaten almost, Lord Fei has a good rest."

"You take the wine with you. I have to ...... Xu Gongzi, don't think I'm a waste, when it's time to get up, I won't be weaker than you. ”

"I believe it." Xu Ji smiled, holding a pot in one hand and a cup in the other, and said goodbye and left.

There was already a fighting atmosphere in the barracks, and even at night, there were also groups of soldiers running around, transporting large quantities of wood, stones, and other materials in preparation for the siege.

Several Yecheng soldiers stood at the door of the tent, their faces panicked, ignoring Xu Ji who walked in front of them, for whom there was nowhere to hope.

Yu Zhan was not in the tent, Xu Ji lit the oil lamp, sat on the bunk and poured himself a drink, he actually had an answer to Fei Xun in his heart, he would never use assassination again, he would not use it against anyone, he hoped that a turnaround would occur in two or three days, so that Fei Xin could eliminate this concern.

The long night was too long, but there was too little wine, Xu Ji had not yet finished his fun, and the pot had bottomed out, so he had to sigh lightly, look at the oil lamp, and plan to wait for the flames to disappear by themselves, and then lie down to sleep.

When Yu Zhan came in, Xu Ji was in a daze.

He sat across from him, bowed his head and did not speak.

"It's dying. Does Yu Gongzi still need lights? ”

"No, I don't."

"Then let it extinguish on its own, and save the effort to blow it."

The last bit of fire was extremely tenacious, and it didn't go out for a long time, Xu Ji stared a little tired, and said with a smile: "I really can't underestimate anything, look at this ......"

"Mr. Kou wants to be unfavorable to Xu Gongzi."

"Huh?"

Mr. Kou didn't know what to think, he seemed to think that it would be more beneficial for Yecheng to surrender the city to King Liang, he ...... He persuaded King Liang to take Xu Gongzi as a hostage and forced Yecheng to open the door. ”

"I've been a hostage for a long time, and so are you."

"It's different, we just can't be free, and we're going to be forced to watch Yecheng being breached, Xu Gongzi...... may be sent to the city, with a sword and axe, and if the city refuses to give in, Xu Gongzi will be executed in public. ”

"Is this a scheme? How does killing me interfere with Yecheng? What's in it for Liang Jun? ”

"Mr. Kou thinks that Xu Gongzi is famous all over the world, and he has old friends with King Liang, Yecheng will use Xu Gongzi's envoy to King Liang to appease the people, and when he sees Xu Gongzi killed, the people in the city will be in turmoil."

Xu Ji thought for a while and said with a smile: "It's really hard to refute." ”

Yu Zhan was a little frustrated, "I thought that Mr. Kou would be a master of the avenue, but I didn't expect him to play tricks. ”

"Kou Daogu must have an explanation for this."

"He said that Xiucai also had to use knives when killing pigs, and he had to use money to buy rice and noodles."

"He called me a pig?"

"Wild boar, he said that when he met a wild boar on the road and talked about morality, he died and morality did not exist, leaving a laughing stock in vain. He also said that to deal with people like Xu Gongzi, we must do everything we can, break the conspiracy with conspiracy, and fight with trickery to have a chance of winning. ”

"Hmm...... Again, I can't argue with it, unless I think I'm not 'one of those people'. ”

Yu Zhan sighed: "Maybe I was confused, and I felt that Xu Gongzi was not ...... 'such a person'. I hope that Xu Gongzi will find a way to save himself. ”

"If I use tricks to save myself, I will just become Kou Daogu's so-called 'wild boar', if I don't use tricks, I can only wait silently to die, proving that Kou Daogu is wrong."

Yu Zhan shook his head, "Even if Xu Gongzi waits for death, others will lose Xu Gongzi's skills, except for me, no one knows that Xu Gongzi has refused to use tricks." ”

"A confidant is better than a thousand friends."

Yu Zhan was surprised, "Xu Gongzi is really ...... Not planning to save yourself? ”

"Save yourself, but don't use trickery."

"No way, King Liang is already excited......"

"Wait."

Yu Zhan was even more surprised, speechless for a long time, and finally said, "Xu Gongzi, wait." Alas, upside down, dignity and inferiority, I am now a blind man, I can't see anything clearly, I really hope that the master is still there, only he can solve the doubts in my heart. ”

"There is a person in the camp, named Guo Shifeng, if Yu Gongzi has a heart, he can ask this person for advice."

"Can he solve my doubts?"

"This person prides himself on 'ups and downs in the world', which is just the opposite of Yu Gongzi's dealings, and he has been in contact with him for a while, if Yu Gongzi can be persuaded by him, he will also 'rise and fall', and naturally there is no doubt in his heart. If Yu Gongzi insists on his own opinion, he can also get some different insights from him, and the two sides are neutralized, and he may be able to solve his doubts. ”

"Xu Gongzi's method of solving doubts...... Something special. ”

"Guo Shifeng likes to make friends with all kinds of people, etc., when you go to see him, don't show your humble intention to ask for advice, but call yourself a Yecheng family and know many scholars."

"My confirmation."

"Where is Mr. Sun Yalu?"

"There have been several encounters, and we know each other's names."

"You have to say that you are a good friend of Mr. Sun."

"Good...... bar. Yu Zhan scratched his head, "Obviously I'm worried about Xu Gongzi, why did Xu Gongzi give me ideas?" ”

"I can't solve my matter, Yu Gongzi's matter can at least be tried."

"I'll find a way to meet this Mr. Guo tomorrow."

Early the next morning, the camp was opened, and it didn't go far before it arrived outside Yecheng City and joined the Liang army.

The camp stretched for dozens of miles, except for a few sections of overly steep terrain, there were Liang troops everywhere, surrounding Yecheng.

A small number of Jizhou troops had already withdrawn to the city and had not fought with the Liang army.

Early in the morning, Xu Ji noticed the abnormality, and there were a few more guards outside his tent, and after he went on the road, the number of Liang soldiers escorting the messenger increased significantly.

Fei Yu was a little weak-hearted, and asked Xu Ji with a look, and Xu Ji found an opportunity to whisper: "It has nothing to do with Lord Fei." ”

Before noon, King Liang led his troops into the front camp.

As soon as Xu Ji got off the horse, a lieutenant came over and said coldly, "Please come with me." ”

Xu Ji didn't ask anything, followed the captain into a tent that had been prepared a long time, and waited for half a day, until it was dark, no one came to explain what was going on, and no one provided food, Xu Ji was hungry and thirsty, so he had to endure it.

After a shift or so, someone finally appeared.

The person who came was Kou Daogu, who stood at the door after entering the tent, and said after a while: "Why don't you light the lamp?" ”

"There's nothing worth seeing, there's no need to light the lamp, there's no need to waste grease."

"I'll give you a few words."

"Please."

"There is only one way left in Yecheng to surrender, the sooner you surrender, the fewer casualties, if you can let the county lord open the city gate to welcome the Liang army, the Zhang family can be saved, and the king of Liang will not be killed."

"I don't have this ability, you all overestimated my influence on the county lord of Huanyan, and underestimated the will of the county lord himself."

"The 'will' of the county lord will kill everyone." Kou Daogu came on order, not really persuading, and the words changed, "The demon woman you raised, I will make her life worse than death." All the people and animals in the valley will be killed, burned down along with the houses, and rebuilt. Unfortunately, you can't see all this. ”

Xu Ji seemed to be frightened, he didn't speak for a long time, but when he spoke again, he smiled, "I suddenly remembered four words - Israel is a person, and it is very suitable for you." If you have the opportunity, you should ask Madame Feng for advice, and if you get her advice, you will be at a disadvantage. ”

Even through the darkness, Xu Ji felt the other party's furious anger.

"I hope you will know after you die, and you can still see the cruelty of the world." Kou Daogu dropped a sentence in a flat tone and turned to leave.

Xu Ji closed his eyes and slept and never got up.

When he was awakened, it was late at night, and he woke up with a vague foot, and he didn't slowly wake up until he stepped out of the tent.

More than a dozen soldiers walked silently in front and behind, and the armor on their bodies made a slight noise.

The barracks were calm, presumably ready, just waiting for an order.

The tent was brightly lit, dozens of candles were lit alone, and there were more oil lamps and torches, so that only a small open space and narrow passages remained.

Ma Wei sat on the ancestral chair, only there were no lamps and candles within a few feet of him, and even the people and chairs were hidden in a haze.

Gao Shengjie, who was not far from King Liang's side, was not there tonight, and the soldiers tied Xu Ji's hands, and then retreated, and there were only two people left in the tent.

Xu Ji stood far away, raised his hands, and said with a smile: "As for this?" ”

Ma Wei slowly raised his head and said in a blank voice, "What should I do?" ”
