"Childe, who is this woman, she looks so big." Su Xiaoxiao blinked her eyes and asked curiously.

Su Zhe said: "The anti-Dong forces actually set up an ambush to assassinate her, and listening to her tone, it seems that she is very close to Dong Zhuo, it is estimated that it should be a young lady of the Dong family." ”

Su Xiaoxiao let out an "oh" and didn't ask any more.

At this time, Zhou Cang reminded: "Childe, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time, let's go to Chang'an as soon as possible." ”

Su Zhe nodded, glanced around the corpses of the assassins everywhere, and sighed: "These assassins are also men who are not afraid of death, it is a pity that the violent corpses are here, you can take the brothers to spend some time burying them." ”

Zhou Cang understood his intentions, so he led his own soldiers to protect him, hastily dug dozens of pits, and buried the corpses of this group of assassins on the spot.

After finishing his work, Su Zhecai whipped his horse and went to Chang'an City.

Before dark, the convoy entered the city, and because of his status as an envoy, Su Zhe was arranged in the pavilion designated by the government according to the custom.

At present, the world is in turmoil, and the princes of Kwantung do not take the court of Chang'an in their eyes, Liu Biao is one of the few princes who still recognize the authority of the imperial court and send envoys to pay tribute, so the court also treats them quite politely, and the food and accommodation arrangements are very thoughtful.

Su Zhe asked his subordinates to rest for a night, recuperate enough, and go to handle the tribute tomorrow morning.

……

Chang'an City, Situ Mansion.

The night was dark, and the entire Situ Mansion was silent, and the lights were all out, but there was only a secret room in the back house, which was still faintly swaying for the fire.

In the secret room, two men, an old man and a young man, were fighting each other with candles.

The older one is now Situ Wang Yun, and the younger one is his young nephew Wang Ling.

"Uncle, it's so late, and there is no news yet, could it be that our plan has failed?" Wang Ling held the chess pieces in his hand and looked worried.

"It's still early, Ling'er, you have to calm down." Wang Yun left a son calmly, with a strategizing momentum.

Wang Ling's uneasy mood calmed down a little, but he said: "Even if we succeed in the assassination, we will release the rumor that it is Lu Bu's instigation, but I am afraid that the traces of the fake disaster are too obvious, and the old thief Dong may not be divided." ”

"Therefore, the target we chose will be Dong Zhuo's favorite person." Wang Yun's tone was meaningful.

Wang Ling looked stunned, and his eyes were still blank.

"Ling'er, you are smart and smart, but unfortunately you don't have enough insight into people's hearts."

Wang Yun lifted the sunspot surrounded by the chessboard, and explained unhurriedly: "Although Dong Thief is brutal, he has great affection for his family, this is Dong Thief's weakness, this weakness will make him be blinded by anger after hearing that his favorite person was assassinated, and he can't help but be suspicious of Lu Bu." ”

After saying this, Wang Ling, who listened to it, not only gave a thumbs up and praised: "Uncle's insight into people's hearts is so deep that his nephew is really beyond his reach." ”

Wang Yun smiled, and looked at Wang Ling expectantly: "Ling'er, you have to grow up as soon as possible, you are the best one among the younger generation of our Wang family, and after getting rid of Dong Thief for your uncle in the future and taking charge of the imperial court, there are still many things to rely on you." ”

Wang Ling was immediately encouraged, and hurriedly said: "Thank you uncle for your kindness, my nephew will definitely work hard and never disappoint my uncle's expectations." ”

"Okay, come, let's continue to play chess, what you have to learn today is that Mount Tai collapses in front and does not change color." Wang Yun said, raised his hand and twisted one, ready to fall.

At this moment, the henchman outside the door hurriedly entered and whispered, "Master, that Zhang Xinbiao is back." ”

As soon as he heard this name, Wang Ling's eyes suddenly lit up, and his emotions became excited again.

Wang Yun remained silent, only flicked his hand lightly: "Let him come in." ”

A moment later, a ranger with a tiger's back and a bear's waist walked into the secret room, and Pu Tom knelt in front of Wang Yun, without saying a word, and couldn't kneel for a long time.

Wang Yun frowned, and asked, "Failure or success, said." ”

The ranger named Zhang Xinbiao said with a guilty face: "Yu Situ, the little one is incompetent, and the assassination failed." ”

Bang!

Wang Yun's fingers trembled slightly, and the twisted chess pieces slipped and fell on the chessboard.

"What! You've failed! Wang Ling's face changed suddenly, jumped up, and said angrily: "Our Wang family has raised you for so many years, and we can't do such a trivial thing, what are you going to eat!" ”

That Zhang Xinbiao became more and more ashamed, and his head was deeply knocked on the ground, allowing Wang Ling to scold.

This is a kung fu, but Wang Yun has already picked up the chess piece again, waved his hand lightly, and motioned for Wang Ling to stop.

In the secret room, silence suddenly returned.

"Why did it fail? Could it be that the target didn't shoot as usual? Wang Yun's face was expressionless, and there was no hint of blame in his tone.

Zhang Xinbiao said hatefully: "The information given by Situ is not wrong at all, the target is indeed going to the southern suburbs to hunt as usual, and the place where we are ambushing is just right, killing the target by surprise, almost succeeding, but at a critical time, another team of people and horses were killed, the target was saved, and almost all of our brothers were killed." ”

Another team?

Wang Yun's expression moved, and he asked, "Who is doing bad things to me?" ”

Zhang Xinbiao hurriedly said: "The little one secretly eavesdropped on the conversation between the target and the leader of the team, and I heard that the man said that his name was Su Zhe, and he was an envoy sent by Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao to Chang'an to pay tribute. ”

"Su Zhe ......"

Wang Yun silently recited this name in his mouth, thoughtfully, searching for the image of this unfamiliar name, thinking about it, but he couldn't remember that Liu Biao's subordinates had a famous man named Su Zhe.

"What about the second set of plans, can they be executed?" Wang Yun pressed the fox suspicion and asked again.

Zhang Xinbiao gritted his teeth and said: "Originally, a few captured brothers had already said that they were Lu Bu's subordinates according to the prior agreement, and they almost deceived the target, but it was the damn Su Zhe who deliberately broke our strategy and persuaded the target to kill all the brothers who were captured alive, pretending that nothing happened." ”

Wang Yun's face, which had always been expressionless, finally at this moment, couldn't help but have a hint of surprise.

That Wang Ling was also surprised: "Under Liu Biao, when did there be such a powerful person, and he could see through our strategy so easily!" ”

"Ling'er, you have a good memory when you are young, have you ever remembered that there is a big family surnamed Su in Jingzhou?" Wang Yun looked back at his nephew.

Wang Ling racked his brains and thought for a long time, shook his head and said: "My nephew only remembers that there are four major clans in Jingzhou, such as Kuaicai, Huang Pang, and further down, there are Ma clan, Diao clan, Deng clan and other second-class clans, but I have never heard of the Su clan, let alone Su Zhe. ”

"It's not the Jingxiang clan, could it be that this Su Zhe is a disciple of the poor family?" As soon as Wang Yun spoke, he immediately shook his head and said: "Liu Jingsheng is the person who attaches the most importance to his background, and he is an important errand to envoy to Chang'an and pay tribute to the Son of Heaven, how can he appoint a disciple from a poor family to take on it, it doesn't make sense." ”

"Then what is the origin of this Su Zhe? Not only can you gain Liu Biao's trust, but also ruin our assassination plan, and also see through our second plan? Wang Ling's eyes were also filled with endless surprise.

In the secret room, the atmosphere of surprise was filled for a while, and the uncle and nephew were immersed in speculation about the name "Su Zhe".

His uncle and nephew discussed all night, and at dawn the next day, just when they wanted to rest, the doorman came to report, and Su Zhe, the envoy of Jingzhou, asked to see him outside.

At present, Wang Yun is deeply trusted by Dong Zhuo, and the affairs of the court are all handled by him, and the princes of other towns pay tribute to the Son of Heaven, according to the procedure, they should first be asked by him, Situ, so Su Zhe came to Situ Mansion early in the morning to visit.

"This Su Zhe has ruined our good deeds, and he still has the face to come, and my uncle simply doesn't see him!" Wang Ling snorted coldly in displeasure.

Wang Yun said: "Su Zhe is a messenger of Jingzhou, and he is here for official business, how can he not see it for his uncle?" Besides, Uncle Wei also wants to see what is so good about this Su Zhe. ”

After that, Wang Yun flicked his hand and ordered Su Zhe to be invited to the main hall to meet.

A moment later, when Su Zhe walked into the lobby, Wang Yun was already sitting on top of him, and Wang Ling was standing next to him.

Wang Yun's face was expressionless, but there was a faint hostility in Wang Ling's eyes.

Su Zhe stepped forward, bowed his hand slightly, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Jingzhou Tribute Envoy Su Zhe, meet Wang Situ." ”

"Excuse me." Wang Yun flicked his hand lightly, with a kind demeanor and the posture of an elder.

Su Zhe straightened up, and unhurriedly, calmly reported the relevant matters of the tribute to Wang Yun.

When Wang Yun listened quietly, he quietly observed Su Zhe, wanting to see some traces of worms from this young man who had ruined his good deeds.

After listening to Su Zhe's words, Wang Yuncai nodded and praised: "Liu Jingzhou can take the initiative to pay tribute to the Son of Heaven, this is a reverence for the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, this is very good, you can personally pay tribute to the Son of Heaven after you have seen Taishi Dong, and after getting his permission, you can personally pay tribute to the Son of Heaven." ”

"Thank you, Situ Wang." Su Zhe arched his hand and took out a book from his arms, "My family Liu Jingzhou also has a personal letter to Situ here, please take a look at it." ”

Wang Yun made a look, and Wang Ling walked down the steps, snatched the letter from Su Zhe's hand, and when he turned around, he glared at him, showing quite unfriendly.

Wang Ling's attitude towards himself, how could Su Zhe not see it, and he was silent at the moment, secretly guessing in his heart.

Wang Yun took the letter, glanced at it a few times, and a hint of strange color quietly flashed in his eyes.

The content of the letter obviously surprised Wang Yun, who had always relied on the Gaomen clan, and asked Wang Yun to use his influence in the imperial court to appoint Su Zhe as the Taishou of Nanyang in the name of personal relations.

"What is so remarkable about this Su Zhe, not only did he entrust Liu Jingsheng with the important task of being an envoy, but he also begged me to let the imperial court appoint him as the Taishou of Nanyang?"

Wang Yun put down the letter and looked up and down at the calm and calm poor boy in front of him, with a puzzled look in his eyebrows.

After examining it for a long time, Wang Yun put the silk book back into the letter and asked Wang Ling to return it to Su Zhe as it was.

"Wang Situ, what does this mean?" Su Zhe looked at the letter in his hand, his eyes were a little puzzled.

Wang Yun said with a straight face: "This government is trusted by the Son of Heaven to assist Dong Taishi in handling the government and government, and he should act impartially, how can he abolish the public because of private affairs, what Liu Jingzhou said in the letter, forgive this government for being difficult to help, this letter should be regarded as if the government has not read it, you take it." ”

Wang Yun didn't even sell Liu Biao's face!?

A hint of surprise flashed in Su Zhe's eyes, and his sword eyebrows suddenly darkened slightly.
