(Ask for a subscription and ask for a commuter pass.) ）

Shen Tan thought Xu Ji was joking, and laughed a few times, "The second brother also said that the fourth brother is not ambitious, and he should really be allowed to hear the fourth brother's bold words." ”

Shen Tan left with a smile, Xu Ji didn't take his words as a joke, his frustration and doubts actually came from talking about the difficulties of people, after seeing the heroes of the north, he gradually came up with a strange idea, unwilling to admit it, and finally had to admit it - none of these people is comparable to the emperor of all things - until this moment, he naturally came up with a second thought - the heroes are fighting, why can't he be one of them?

Ma Wei once persuaded him to be self-reliant, the purpose was to win over, not to really admire, Xu Ji understood in his heart, but then he remembered those words again, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense.

Liu Youzhong finally entered the account, smiling, and said: "The second brother and the third brother gave me diametrically opposite statements, which made me strange and a little curious, and the fourth brother ......."

Xu Ji smiled: "Brother Lao takes a closer look to see if I am still of any use?" ”

Liu Youzhong really looked at it carefully for a while, and suddenly smiled, "Fourth brother deliberately attracts people's attention, right?" Speaking of which, this trick is quite useful. ”

Xu Ji gave up his hand, and the idea blurted out at that time, uncontrollable, from now on, he had to cover it up, "It's worthy of being a big brother, and he sees people to the point." ”

"But...... What is the intention of the fourth brother? I'm a little confused. ”

"I want to see Shen Mushou."

"Haha, this is easy to do, the meeting over there has ended, and Lord Mu Shou left Guo Shifeng to chat a few words. Fourth brother, wait a minute, I'll go and talk about it, maybe I can persuade the shepherd. ”

Not long after Liu Youzhong left, an officer came over to invite him, and Shen Zhi was finally willing to summon Xu Ji.

Outside the tent, Tang Weitian was yawning, and when he saw Xu Ji, he immediately said, "Son, can you go?" ”

"Wait a little longer." Xu Ji reorganized his mind so as not to be seen again.

Guo Shifeng walked up to him, smiled at him, staggered past, and whispered, "Please leave the rest to my brother." ”

Mu Shou Shen sat straight on the chair, several sons stood behind him, Liu Youzhong and other staff and generals stood left and right, and there were four guards guarding the door.

This is an official meeting, since Xu Ji has changed his surname, he naturally does not have to carry out the gift of his son and nephew, so he tends to move forward and go deeper, "Scholar Xu Ji, meet Lord Mu Shou." ”

Shen Zhi didn't plan to talk for too long, and said: "No need to be polite, in fact, you don't have to come, I have already negotiated with Mr. Guo: King Liang will send 30,000 people, I will send 20,000 people, a total of vanguard, and march to Luoyang early tomorrow morning, I will lead the Jinyang army to pacify the west of Luoyang, and the king of the incarnation will be responsible for the east of Luoyang." After defeating the officers and soldiers, Nakju was surrendered to the king. ”

Xu Ji shook again, "The shepherd guards the high wind and bright festival, wholeheartedly eradicates the faint king for the people of the world, and is willing to bow down to others after the matter is completed, which makes me admire." ”

Shen Cong, the son of the Shen family, shouted: "Nonsense, my father ......"

Shen Zhi raised his hand to interrupt the eldest son and said coldly, "You came to me with Mr. Guo, but you didn't know his whole plan?" ”

"We're just old friends, and we don't talk to each other."

"Old Five, you tell him."

Shen Tan stepped forward, first turned around and saluted his father, and then said: "Xu Gongzi listen, Guo Shifeng brought the meaning of King Liang and the King of the World: the three parties attacked the Eastern Capital together, and after the fact, Luozhou returned to the King of the World, and the Army of the World No longer entered Qinzhou, Qin, and Han all returned to the Shen family, and the King of Liang went to Huaizhou to establish a state, forming an encirclement of Jizhou, and next year the three armies will be launched together to sweep away the remnants of Tiancheng." ”

This plan is very attractive, the Shen family gets the largest territory, the incarnation king gets the greatest fame and wealth, and the king of Liang shows that he suffers the most, but he has a foothold from nothing to a state, and he has gained a lot.

And, Luo, and Huai prefectures all happen to border Jizhou, and next year's siege of Yecheng Xinjun will be regarded as a long-term plan.

No wonder Shen Zhi agreed.

Xu Ji re-weighed, "Congratulations to Lord Mushou, Qin, He, and Han are vast and populous, and they are the land of Longxing in the past dynasties, and Lord Mushou has obtained it, who will he give it to in the future?" ”

Shen Zhi's sons were all angry, Shen Tan had to throw away his sworn feelings in front of his father, and said sternly in front of others: "Why is Gongzi Xu disrespectful to his face, thinking that the Shen family must be a minister?" ”

Xu Ji said: "Don't dare, then the three parties join forces, two of them are called kings, the greater the merit, the more famous, the king of the world occupies the eastern capital, will be famous all over the world, people from afar, listen to the rumors, only the king of the world is from, the shepherd Shou led the children of Jinyang to make this great achievement, but for others to make a wedding dress, if not willing to be a minister, what does it mean?" ”

Shen Tan took another step forward and winked at Xu Ji, indicating that his words were good, but his voice was even more severe, "The children of Jinyang sacrifice their lives and forget about death, fight bravely, and never make wedding dresses for others!" ”

Shen straightened up, walked in front of the fifth son, and looked at Xu Ji carefully for the first time, "It is said that some people are born rebellious, you may be such a person, you are not happy to see that others do not rebel and do not claim to be kings." ”

"Born in anti-Korea, who doesn't oppose it? If it is the opposite, why should you seek loyalty? ”

"Hey, what a 'why be loyal to the name'." Shen Zhi turned around and walked back to his place, "Send off the guest." ”

Shen Tan personally sent Xu Ji outside the tent and whispered: "Thank you fourth brother, my father is moved." ”

Guo Shifeng was waiting in the tent, saw Xu Ji, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"The suggestion brought by Brother Guo is excellent, and Shen Bingzhou can't agree with it."

Guo Shifeng shook his head, "Although the suggestion is good, you have to let Shen Bingzhou believe it, I see that he has a lot of doubts in his heart, and when the matter comes, I am afraid that he will regret it and ruin King Liang's big thing." ”

"So I persuaded Shen Bingzhou to be the king, it seems that he will accept it, and within a few days, there will be one more king of Jin."

Guo Shifeng was stunned for a moment, and laughed: "Brother Brother is smart, I also want to persuade him to be the king, but I didn't find a suitable word, and I was afraid of arousing Shen Bingzhou's suspicion, so I had to not mention it. ”

Xu Ji smiled, his persuasion was actually just a reason, Shen Zhi was moved, and he might not act, Shen Tan and Liu Youzhong would definitely take the opportunity to continue to persuade, this was the most important reason why Shen Zhi was king.

Shen Cong came in, glanced at Xu Ji coldly, and said to Guo Shifeng: "Father will stay with the two of them for one night, and after selecting the messenger, he will go back with the two of them tomorrow." ”

Guo Shifeng frowned slightly, "It's hard to resist kindness, I should have accepted it, but I made an appointment with King Liang, and I must go back to report the news today, so I don't dare to delay...... Xu Gongzi is a close confidant of King Liang, is it okay for him to stay? ”

Shen Cong also frowned, and reluctantly said, "Okay, you go first, I'll go and explain to my father." ”

Guo Shifeng bowed his hand to Xu Ji and said: "There is a brother Lao, there is no other meaning, I have discussed with King Liang for a long time, you don't know many things well, and I must go back to answer." ”

"It's okay, I can stay."

Guo Shifeng confessed and left in a hurry, Shen Cong took a step late, "Why didn't you stay in Yecheng?" ”

"Heaven will perish, and Yecheng will also be a dangerous place sooner or later, so it is not advisable to stay for a long time."

"Hey, you're quick to see the opportunity. But it's also the fifth brother who will win over people, he is the best at this, so stay here, the Shen family will not treat you badly. ”

Xu Ji changed to a tent, the bed and bedding were complete, it was more comfortable to live in, and it was closer to Shen Zhi's sleeping tent, which was convenient for summoning, it seemed that Shen Zhi was really excited, and he would soon be able to become king.

Tang Weitian asked for a lot of food, enough for six or seven people, and with a little humility, he ate most of it himself, and Xu Ji only ate a few bites.

"Childe, don't you eat more?" Tang Weitian looked at the leftovers on the table, a little embarrassed.

"I'm full." Xu Ji said with a smile.

"Then you're welcome." Tang Weitian ate the remaining little soup, packed up the dishes and chopsticks and sent them outside.

As soon as there is no one around, Xu Ji's mind will turn to "self-reliance", looking at Ma Wei and Ning Baoguan's experience of being the king is very simple, but Xu Ji feels that it is difficult, he always thinks too much, and loses some opportunities that seem small.

Risks had to be taken, he thought, had to be taken.

Tang Weitian came back, "I didn't eat much today, so I shouldn't have diarrhea." It's very lively with people outside, don't you go and take a look? ”

"Come from afar, don't hang out." Xu Ji guessed that the Shen family was probably starting to claim the king, and it was better for him to stay in the tent and pretend to be confused.

"It's a lot. Is the owner here 'Shen Bingzhou'? ”

"Yes."

"If I knew I was going to see him, I should have captured the assassin alive that night, and Shen Bingzhou must have thanked me."

Tang Weitian eats a lot of food and runs fast, but after all, he is young and has no strength, and he is by no means the opponent of the assassin, Xu Ji smiled: "I have relayed the news to the Shen family, let them catch the assassin by themselves, and after they are caught, they will thank you." ”

"Hehe, that's good." Tang made the bed for the sky, served Xu Ji to lie down, and fell on the small bed himself, sighing: "It's really comfortable to be full, son, I will follow you in my life." ”

"I'll let you have enough to eat, but I can't guarantee that there will always be food." As soon as the words came out, Xu Ji regretted it, he still didn't understand the art of possession, and he couldn't make casual promises like Ma Wei, although his words were true, he couldn't show his sincerity.

Tang Weitian didn't care, "I'll talk about it later, just with these few full meals, I will identify as a son." ”

Xu Ji smiled and simply shut up.

Tang Weitian tossed for a while and fell asleep, Xu Ji thought about the situation in Jiangdong for a while, and closed his eyes.

I don't know how long it has been, Xu Ji was woken up, Tang Weitian knelt beside the bed, "Son, listen, what is the sound outside?" ”

There was an obvious noise outside, in a regular military camp, it seemed extremely abrupt, Xu Ji turned over, put on his clothes and boots, and just walked to the door, someone broke in directly.

Tan Wuwu held the sword in one hand and grabbed Xu Ji's arm with the other, "You are here!" ”

"I'm here, second brother......"

"Always here?"

"yes, I just got up when I heard the noise, what's going on outside?"

"How many people did you bring?"

"Just one person, here."

It was dark in the tent, and Tang Weitian said, "Say me?" ”

Tan Wuwu's tone softened slightly, "Fourth brother, go quickly, I'll send you out of the camp." ”

"What the hell is going on?"

"Shen Bingzhou has just been assassinated, and the assassin has been arrested, claiming to have been sent by you."

"I ...... Shen Bingzhou ......"

"Things are strange, I believe that the fourth brother is by no means the mastermind, but someone wants to kill someone in the name of the fourth brother, the eldest brother and the third brother also believe in you, they can't come, let me persuade you to leave quickly." Everyone is eager for revenge, and it is likely that they will rush over and kill you, and it will not help if the truth is revealed afterwards. ”

"What about Shen Bingzhou?"

Nongzhi had been assassinated once in Yingcheng, but he was only slightly injured and was fine.

Tan senselessly dragged Xu Ji out, "There are only a few breaths left, as soon as he dies, you will be the one who betrays the guilt." ”
