(Ask for collection and recommendation)

Talking about it, it is the best wine and delicacy, the three of them are in high spirits, Shen Tan proposed to worship, "It is enough to know everything in life, let alone two?" I have known Mr. Liu for many years, fall in love with each other, and the seventeenth son at first sight, like-minded, if the two do not give up, we will become brothers with different surnames on the spot, and from then on life and death together, create a great cause together! ”

Liu Youzhong was happy, Xu Ji naturally had no reason to object, the three of them got up and stood in a row, the first order was the year, Liu Youzhong was the longest, Shen Tan was second, Xu Ji was the youngest, full of enthusiasm, didn't care about the ceremony, each held a cup, facing the table, after three bows, even if it was a brother, it was another ranking.

Before bowing down, one ran in from outside, "Wait, are you going to bow?" Count me in. ”

Tan Wuxian didn't know when he woke up, he ran to drink again, and when he bumped into the three of them, he didn't ask the reason, he staggered over with a long sword, and stood at the end with a cup.

The three of them glanced at each other, and they didn't want to interrupt their worship because of Tan Wuyi, so they ordered again, Tan Wuwu ranked second, and the four of them worshiped together, each saying a word, and everyone else was "I don't want to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but I want to die on the same day and month of the same year", only Tan Wuwu is different.

"Don't turn your eyes, don't fight, don't calculate, grow up as brothers of the opposite sex, drink together, block together, the emperor is clear, the earth is the proof, those who change their hearts, people and gods abandon together."

Hearing these words, the other three people actually felt a little ashamed, and they all covered it up with laughter, that is, from this moment on, Xu Ji's good impression of Tan Wuwu increased a little.

The four of them sat down again, and did not talk about confidential matters in front of Tan Wuwu, and in the evening, Shen Tan and Liu Youzhong visited Xu You's room to discuss the details.

"There are not many people, I will select twenty reliable warriors, personally lead them, and send the fourth brother to the governor's mansion, and never let the fourth brother risk alone."

"The third brother can stay in the house and wait for good news."

"If you are brothers, how can you live in the back and seek peace? Besides, I am the son of the shepherd, and if I don't go, the head of Miao may not come out to greet me in person. ”

"I'll go too." Liu You's final road.

"Big brother is older, so he doesn't have to go." Xu Ji and Shen Tan said in unison.

"The two virtuous brothers don't think of me as old and call me brother, how can I stay out of it? Although I can't wield knives and guns, I know a lot of people, and this Miao is the nephew of General Lan, and he has met me a few times in the capital. It's not that I boast, the third brother goes in person, he may not greet me, if I show up, he will welcome him to the gate. ”

The three of them finalized the details one by one, and Liu Youzhong was as energetic as a young man, and he didn't feel sleepy until midnight.

The time is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon, Shen Tan and Liu You finally said goodbye, Xu Ji went to bed and lay down, thinking that this matter could be done, so as to gain the trust of the Shen family, borrow thousands of troops to go south, and finally be able to give Ning Bao'er an explanation, in exchange for Ma Wei's life.

The bed in the Shen Mansion was wide and comfortable, the quilt was soft and warm, and Xu Ji fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.

Early the next morning, Xu Ji slept soundly, and suddenly heard someone outside slamming the door, and got up in a daze, thinking that Shen Tan and Liu Youzhong were too anxious, and said that they would act in the afternoon, why did they come early in the morning?

"Prisoner's building, open the door quickly!"

Xu Ji was shocked again, this is obviously someone who came to arrest the Qin criminal, and the plan has changed? Why didn't anyone say anything? He hurriedly got dressed and got out of bed, and as soon as he opened the door, two soldiers crashed in and grabbed one of his arms.

There were still several people standing outside the door, and the first one Xu Ji recognized that it was Shen Cong, the eldest of the Shen family and Shen Tan's elder brother, who had met and drunk in the capital, but at this time he was like a stranger, with a cold face.

"Brother Shen, what's wrong?"

"Hey, you're a thief, how dare you call me a brother?"

"Don't dare. The Ministry of Shen Industry wants to invite me to reward? ”

Shen Cong held an idle position in the Ministry of Industry of Shangshu Province, so Xu Ji called him "Shen Gongbu".

Shen Cong sneered: "The fifth brother is obsessed with ghosts, and he actually accommodates Qin criminals, but our Shen family has its own loyal ministers. Taken away, sent to the governor's office, interrogated and understood, escorted back to Beijing. ”

Xu Ji was in a hurry, unable to think about it, so he had to go to the house.

Shen Cong led more than a dozen soldiers, escorting the prisoner and was about to leave, when a person came out of the next room.

Tan Wuxian has a slender figure, a long sword is eye-catching, and when he stands forward, he can always attract attention immediately, and he arched his hand to Shen Cong and said, "When did the Shen family change the way of hospitality?" ”

Shen Cong recognized him, "Tan is meaningless, it's none of your business, get out of the way." ”

Tan shook his head senselessly, "One day earlier, it's true that it's none of my business, but we just married as brothers with different surnames yesterday, sharing blessings and hardships, and now we have a hangover and haven't woken up, how can we abandon our feelings?" ”

Shen Cong looked at Tan Wusense's eyes, shook his head and said, "Fifth brother is really confused...... Since he swore a sworn prayer with the Qin prisoner, he took it with him. ”

The two soldiers stepped forward to arrest people, Tan struggled twice senselessly, although his body was big, he didn't have much strength, he was arrested, and said with a smile: "Shen Da doesn't know people very much, in the troubled times, innocent and killed strong men, he will be blamed." ”

Xu Ji said to Tan meaninglessly: "Why should the second brother be like this? ”

"It's okay, I have advised Mr. Huang, he ...... Hey, my sword. ”

The soldier snatched the sword from his waist.

The group walked out, Shen Tan hurriedly ran over, glanced at Xu Ji and Tan Wusense, came straight to the elder brother, and said angrily: "Why did the eldest brother arrest my guest? ”

"Your guest? Lou Ji is an assassin, how can he be a guest of my Shen family? Fifth brother, don't make any more trouble, the court envoys are in the city, if you cause trouble, you can't afford it. ”

"No, people must stay, even if they want to be arrested, I will catch them myself."

Shen Cong pushed his younger brother aside, "Usually let you score three points, but when it comes to such a big event, the Shen family is not up to you." ”

"Father can call the shots, don't move, I'll go to my father, you always listen to his orders, right?"

"My father would never hide a prisoner."

Shen Tan came to Xu Ji and arched his hand: "Please rest assured, Fourth Brother, Brother Fool will never sit idly by and watch you be humiliated in Bingzhou." ”

Before Xu Ji could speak, Tan beside him said meaninglessly: "Third brother, hurry up, Manager Huang appreciates my talent, and he won't be so polite to the fourth brother." Don't go to the shepherd alone, it's better to call your brother-in-law. ”

Shen Tan was stunned for a moment, nodded, said hello, and ran away.

Tan Wuwu explained to Xu Ji: "Zhou Yuanbin is the son-in-law of the Shen family, and he is engaged in business......

The soldier pushed the two of them forward, and Tan Wuwu said as he walked: "Zhou Yuanbin's business is not small, especially with the north, and he has won the trust of Lord Mushou......

Shen Cong turned his head and said, "Tan is meaningless, don't stop your mouth, I'll let someone cut out your tongue." ”

Tan Wuwu immediately shut up and nodded to Xu Ji meaningfully, Xu Ji didn't understand at all, he only knew that the original plan was frustrated, not to mention that he was in danger, Shen Tan's plan and Ma Wei's life were affected.

Shen Cong got on his horse at the gate, and the others walked.

Xu Ji couldn't help but say, "The Ministry of Shen Gong acted without permission, didn't you discuss it with Lord Mushou?" ”

"Who said I was acting on my own initiative...... Hey, the whole family is confused by the fifth child, only I am still a little sober. I can't let him continue to behave like this, and hand you over, at least it shows that the Shen family has no objection, and my father can be more resolute. ”

Xu Ji was speechless, he had met all kinds of unpersuadable people, and he could still speak a few words, but in the face of the boss of the Shen family, he couldn't say a word.

More stubborn than hesitation is timidity, Shen Cong did not dare to raise troops, for fear of annoying the imperial court, even more so than Lou Hard.

Tan endured it halfway, and when he was about to arrive at the governor's mansion, he raised his head and said to Shen Cong: "Shen Da, have you done something wrong again to make Lord Mu Shou unhappy?" With all due respect, it's not advisable to add mistakes to mistakes, and there are other ways to please my father......"

"Cut out his tongue." Shen Cong ordered.

Tan clenched his teeth uselessly, Shen Cong didn't urge again, and the soldier gave up.

The governor's mansion is located in Beicheng, and there are more soldiers guarding outside, Shen Cong dismounted at the entrance of the street, and asked the captain of the street guard to report to Miao Sa.

The lieutenant recognized Shen Cong, and when he heard that one of the people he had brought was a prisoner, he was taken aback, and went to see the chief manager in person, and soon came back, inviting Shen Cong and the two prisoners into the house, and the others stayed.

As soon as Xu Ji took a few steps, he heard someone shouting, "Wait, Lord Shepherd has an order!" ”

Shen Cong and the lieutenant instead quickened their pace, and the soldiers behind them intercepted with horizontal guns.

Miao Sa is Lan Sui's nephew, and Lou Ji is a relative of Lou Ji, but the two have never met, and there is no family affection at all.

Miao Sa confronted the Shen family in Jinyang City, his heart was very nervous, the armor did not leave his body, the knife did not leave his hand, there were often dozens of personal guards around, seeing Shen Cong coming alone, there were only two prisoners, he relaxed a little, bypassed the book case, bowed his hand to Shen Cong, and then came to Xu Ji, looking up and down.

"Tut, son of the general, tsk." Miao Sa smacked her lips vigorously, not knowing what it meant.

Tan interjected needlessly: "I am the grandson of the pillar country on the front beam, you should remember me." ”

Miao Sa glanced at Tan Wusense, and said in confusion: "What are you doing to arrest him?" ”

Shen Cong said: "Tan is useless to worship the building foundation, and he is considered to be the same party." ”

Tan Wuxian has to persuade everyone to see, "Chief Miao, your position is very unstable, the river workers are rebelling, and they are spreading eastward, isolating the state from the imperial court, Jinyang is therefore lonely, if there is a civil and military discord......

"Tie the grandson of the Upper Pillar Kingdom under the pillar and gag his mouth." Miao Sa ordered.

The soldier immediately carried out.

Miao Sa continued to stare at Lou Ji, "The imperial court is really magnanimous to your Lou family, my son is assassinated, and Lao Tzu is fine." ”

"The Lan family is not bad, one person has attained the Tao, the chicken dog ascends to heaven, and the Miao master is promoted to be the chief manager, and he is in charge of a city of soldiers and horses."

Miao Sa laughed angrily, "When I send you to the Eastern Capital, I will not be in charge of a city of soldiers and horses...... Or don't bother with it, just send your head. ”

Miao Sa drew his knife, and Shen Cong took two steps back.

Although Miao Sa is a military general, he is not very good at using a knife, and he uses it in his hand to scare.

Xu Ji was unmoved, and only looked away.

A lieutenant came over and whispered in the ear of the chief manager, Miao Sa put away his knife and said to Shen Cong: "Shen Gong wait, I'll come when I go." ”

After Miao Sa left, Xu Ji looked at Shen Cong, shook his head, and sighed helplessly.

Shen Cong saw it in his eyes and sneered: "At this time, do you still think you can escape?" ”

"I don't sigh for myself, I'm worried about the Ministry of Shen Gong."

"I'm fine, I don't need you to worry."

Xu Ji smiled and said nothing.

Miao Sa came back from the back hall, followed by a person.

Guo Shifeng walked up to Xu Ji and said with a smile: "It's him, that's right." ”

If there is anyone who can make Xu Ji completely uncertain, it is the "Brother Guo" in front of him.
