There are indeed bold people in this world, but no matter how bold they are, they also have a fear. If a person is truly fearless, then either the person is lying, or the person is not human.

Xue Zong was not a very bold person, and Zhuge Jin's experience made Xue Zong really unwilling to serve as this messenger. But what is wrong with the fate, it is not up to him, and it is not Xue Zong who has the final say when he is not the messenger, but what Sun Quan says. Sun Quan wanted Xue Zong to come, so Xue Zong had to come.

Since Zhuge Jin was detained by the Han army, the Han army camp has become a place of death in the eyes of people like Xue Zong. Unlike the old families in Jiangdong, Xue Zong did not have a strong background, which is one of the reasons why Sun Quan regarded him as a cronie. But without the backing of a powerful family force, Xue Zong was really afraid that he would be treated worse than Zhuge Jin after he arrived at the Han army camp.

entered the Han army camp with fear, Xue Zong didn't dare to make the slightest mistake like a little daughter-in-law, lest he find an excuse for the people in the Han army camp to clean him up. didn't expect to be so cautious, and when he met Liu Xie today, Xue Zong was still distracted, and as a result, someone grabbed the handle.

The ancient concept of class is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, especially when facing the saint, the slightest problem may cause a catastrophe. For example, when visiting the king, the courtiers can't take the initiative to look up at the emperor, and there is a crime here, which is called looking up at the king and plotting wrong, and killing him if he says he will kill him. This is also the reason why some TV series in which courtiers dare not raise their heads when they meet the emperor, and the emperor only dares to raise his head after saying that you are not guilty.

Liu Xie didn't care too much about the etiquette of the monarch and the minister, and he was also free of complicated etiquette when he was with the people close to him. But that's the attitude towards one's own people, and when dealing with outsiders, if you really want to find a reason to kill, you can find it at any time. For example, if Xue Zong does not kneel at this time, if Liu Xie really wants to kill Xue Zong, this reason is enough.

Xue Zong, who knew that his life was hanging by a thread, could only kowtow and beg for mercy at this time, there was no way, who told him to let people catch the handle. If Liu Xie really intended to kill him, he would really die in vain. Fortunately, Liu Xie didn't mean to kill Xue Zong, and when Xue Zong was almost finished, he asked out loud: "Jingwen, why are you stunned when you enter the account?" ”

Although Xue Zong is a nerd, but at the moment of life and death, his head must be more flexible than usual, for Liu Xie's inquiry at this time, Xue Zong did not hesitate to think that this was Liu Xie giving himself a step, and hurriedly replied: "Qi Shengshang, as soon as Xue Zong entered the tent, he saw the fierce generals under the command of Shengshang, and he couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, so he was stunned, and asked the Holy Lord to forgive him." ”

"Huh...... So forgive your innocence, and arise to answer. ”

"Thank you." Xue Zong hurriedly replied, secretly relieved in his heart, glad that he had escaped.

Xue Zong is the envoy of Jiangdong, in order to facilitate the answer, his position was arranged in the second place at the bottom right of Liu Xie, and on the left and right of Xue Zong, Cao Zhang and Guan Ping sat respectively. Xue Zong was scared in his heart, how could he bother to drink and eat, so he cautiously peeked at Liu Xie's face, wanting to see Liu Xie's attitude towards him.

I saw Liu Xie's face full of spring breeze, and he drank with Xue Zong very enthusiastically, and when he was drinking, he got up and performed a sword dance in public, and then took Xue Zong's hand to introduce the generals in the tent. For Liu Xie's sake, the generals who were introduced reluctantly had a drink with Xue Zong.

Xue Zong already had something in his heart, and everyone in the tent toasted Xue Zong with a glass, and Xue Zong, who was not very good at drinking, was suddenly a little dizzy and couldn't find the north. And Liu Xie didn't care about Xue Zong, who was drunk, and asked people to help him back to his seat, and then he and the crowd would continue to drink and feast.

At this time, Xue Zong said that he didn't fall asleep, but he drank a little too much, and his body didn't obey but his consciousness was still awake. Xue Zong was afraid that he would be drunk again if he woke up at this time, so he simply lay on the table and pretended to sleep, but his ears were unconsciously erected. I heard that Liu Xie was obviously a little drunk, and while talking and laughing with the generals, he also said something that made Xue Zong feel shocked.

Unexpectedly, the Han army did not start a war with Sun Liu for a long time, and it seemed that it was not well prepared, but in fact, it was waiting for the secret son who hid Sun Liu to launch, and then the time should be combined to annihilate Sun Liu in one fell swoop. Speaking of the smugness, Liu Xie laughed even more, bluntly saying that Sun Liu was vulnerable, as long as the war was together, it would be the time when Sun Liu fell.

……

At noon the next day, Xue Zong was woken up while he was still asleep. After learning a shocking secret from Liu Xie last night, Xue Zong, who returned to the account, didn't fall asleep over and over, he thought about it a lot, but he didn't get confused until the sky was bright. At this time, he was woken up, and Xue Zong was sleepy.

It's just that the Son of Heaven called, Xue Zong didn't dare not go, and hurriedly asked someone to bring a basin of cold water to clear his mind, and then dressed neatly and followed the people to meet the Son of Heaven. When he approached the tent of the Son of Heaven, the sharp-eyed Xue Zong saw a person. There were people everywhere in the Han army camp, and the reason why it attracted Xue Zong's attention was because that person was not wearing a Han military uniform. In the large camp where all the Han army uniforms are dressed, a person in civilian clothes suddenly appears, doesn't it look like he stands out from the crowd.

Xue Zong wanted to ask about the origin of that person, but he didn't dare to ask. In case this person has a special identity in the Han Army, wouldn't it be asking for trouble if he asked. But you can't ask, you can't ask, but Xue Zong can speculate by himself, and he can't help but connect what he saw in front of him with what he heard last night.

Liu Xie asked people to find Xue Zong to drink, but this time the drink was a little more restrained than last night, and there were a lot fewer generals sitting in the tent, and Liu Xie was more cautious in speaking. But after three glasses of wine, Liu Xie began to get excited again, so he simply pulled Xue Zong up and ran to the back camp.

Seeing the grain hoards in the rear camp of the Han army, Xue Zong was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

"Jingwen, do you have enough food for the soldiers?" Liu Xie asked Xue Zongdao proudly.

"The Holy One really has a lot of grain and grass."

"Haha, you come with me again." Liu Xie laughed, pulled Xue Zong and walked to the front camp again, and when Xue Zong came to the front camp with Liu Xie, some of the sergeants of the Han army had already assembled and were waiting for Liu Xie's review.

"Jingwen, are you looking at my soldiers majestic?"

"Strong, majestic, it is really the army of tigers and wolves who fought in the south and north with the saint." Xue Zong hurriedly flattered.

"Haha...... You come with me again......" Liu Xie smiled again, and was about to take Xue Zong to see the Han army's warship, when he saw Cao Zhang trotting over, whispering a few words in Liu Xie's ear, Liu Xie, who was originally drunk, suddenly seemed to be half awake, and asked Cao Zhang in a low voice: "Seriously, Jiangdong is really ...... over there"

Before the words fell, Cao Zhang signaled Liu Xie to pay attention to Xue Zong, an outsider around him, and Liu Xie immediately snorted when he saw this, and said to Xue Zong: "Jingwen, I am a little tired, you should retreat first." ”

Xue Zongzhen didn't want to go, but he couldn't help but go. When the Han soldiers returned to their camps, they faintly heard Liu Xie's slightly excited voice in his ears, "Okay, as long as he is willing to return to the imperial court, Sun Quan's kid will be considered dead." ”

Who the hell is it? Xue Zong, who returned to the tent, thought about it for a long time, and tried to investigate the people in Jiangdong who might betray Sun Quan one by one, but what made Xue Zong frightened was that he didn't want to know, and he was shocked when he thought about it, there were really not a few people who were suspicious. The first is He Qi, this He Qi was Sun Ce's favorite general, when Sun Ce pacified Jiangdong, he contributed a lot, after Sun Ce's accident, He Qi chose to belong to Sun Quan. But now that Sun Ce is not dead, in case Sun Ce comes forward to solicit him, it is really possible for He Qi to abandon Sun Quan and return to Sun Ce's account.

He Qi is not an unknown person in Jiangdong, the Jiangdong Navy is famous, but He Qi is the first person in the Jiangdong Army. The He family army led by him can be said to be the strongest foot soldier in Jiangdong. It is precisely by relying on this team of people as the backing that Sun Quan will be very polite to He Qi.

In addition to He Qi, the suspect who may have secretly contacted the imperial court is the Gu family in the Jiangdong family. Although the Gu family became low-key after Zhang Zhao's death, Sun Quan's vigilance against him was not slackened. Gu Yong has the same friendship with the current saint, and the Gu family has the good relationship of Qin and Jin with the Lu family, once Lu Xun of the Lu family gets in touch with Gu Yong, it is difficult to guarantee that Gu Yong will not give up Sun Quan for his own interests.

He Qi, Gu Yong, Lu Ji, these three people are the most suspicious, Xue Zong wanted to go back immediately to report Sun Quan's discovery, but Liu Xie didn't nod and let him leave, he didn't dare to leave, but when he came, Sun Quan told him to do what he had done, and he had already done it at this time.

Sun Quan explained the same thing as Xue Zong, spying on the reality of the Han army and finding out the attitude of the Han army. After participating in two banquets, by eavesdropping on Liu Xie's words, Xue Zong thought that he could go back and give an explanation to Sun Quan. And he also got a shocking big secret, and he believed that Sun Quan would be satisfied with the results of his mission.

At the banquet in the evening, Xue Zong proposed his resignation to Liu Xie, and Liu Xie was also easy to speak, and did not force Xue Zong to stay, but just asked Xue Zong to bring a message to Sun Quan for him, so that he could take care of Zhuge Jin's family for a good time, and there could be no mistakes, if Zhuge Jin's family had something to do, he wanted Sun Quan to live or die.

"Holy Lord, rest assured, Zijing's family has now been taken care of by my lord in the mansion, and will not be harassed by outsiders." Xue Zong replied with a smile.

"Hmph, it's called care, but it's actually house arrest. No wonder Zhuge Jin has refused to surrender so far, he has already guessed that Sun Quan is acting like this. Jingwen, I wonder if your family is okay when you come here this time? I wonder if if you are left here by me, will your family members also be taken care of by Sun Quan's servants? Liu Xie sneered and asked Xue Zongdao jokingly.

Hearing this, Xue Zongyan hurriedly defended Sun Quan and said: "The Holy Lord said that he laughed, my lord has always been generous to his courtiers, how could he do that villainous behavior with people as hostages, but the Holy Lord is strong to keep his son respectful......"

"Shut up! What is forced to stay? I am the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty, under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. Zhuge Jin is naturally a Han minister, so if you want to listen to the words of me, the son of the Han Dynasty, is Jiangdong no longer the boundary of my Han Dynasty, and you and other Jiangdong ministers are no longer my Han ministers? Liu Xie turned his face when he said it, glared at Xue Zong and asked. As Liu Xie turned his face, the generals on both sides also stared at Xue Zong viciously, and there was a posture that as long as Xue Zong said a wrong word, his blood would be splashed five steps.

“…… The minister spoke in vain, and asked the Holy God to forgive his sins. Xue Zong was scared when he first came, but after being entertained by Liu Xie a few times, his courage also grew. It's just that this strong guts withered quickly, and was glared at by Liu Xie and the generals, Xue Zong immediately turned into a rat gall again, and hurriedly asked Liu Xie for guilt.

"Hmph, I don't care about you this time, because you are ignorant. Someone, send him across the river. Liu Xie snorted coldly and ordered left and right. Immediately, someone stepped forward and said to Xue Zong with a cold face: "Honorable envoy, please." ”

Xue Zong didn't dare to hesitate at this time, he withdrew from the camp tent one after another, and left the Han army camp in embarrassment. It was only when the small boat he was on was far away from the Han army camp that Xue Zong felt his soul returned. When he was in the Han army camp, Xue Zong really felt that as long as he was careless, his head could fall to the ground, and the ease of the sudden psychological pressure made Xue Zong feel like he was reincarnated.

returned to his own water village, and Sun Quan, who learned that Xue Zong was back, couldn't wait to come out of the account to greet him, and Xue Zong was moved for a while. And Sun Quan and Xue Zong joined hands and went back to the camp together, and immediately asked Xue Zong about the harvest of this trip after retreating.

Xue Zong did not hide it, and told Sun Quan the original story of this trip, of course, he was afraid of the place where he did some artistic processing, and became not afraid of danger, and fought according to reason, and finally said that everyone in the Han army was poor, and had to throw himself into the ground with the five bodies that Xue Zong admired......

Sun Quancai didn't care about Xue Zong's performance in the Han army camp, he cared about the intelligence of the Han army, and after patiently listening to Xue Zong's "self-boasting", he finally heard something he wanted to hear. It's just that the news that Xue Zong brought back really made Sun Quan unhappy.

The strong soldiers of the Han army were expected, and Sun Quan did not feel any surprises. And the news that Xue Zong brought back that someone in Jiangdong secretly colluded with the imperial court was what Sun Quan was most worried about. Sun Quan knew that his position as the lord of Jiangdong was not right, and he would inevitably be suspicious, to put it bluntly, Sun Quan's paranoia of being killed was more serious than ordinary people, and he was always worried that others would follow his example and do whatever it took for the position of the lord of Jiangdong.

In order to eliminate heart disease, Sun Quan made a lot of arrangements, but what is depressing is that after these methods were used, his suspicion not only did not reduce, but became more and more serious. Originally, it was just to see a few people who were suspicious, but now it has developed to the point where everyone is suspicious.

The news brought back by Xue Zong, Sun Quan did not doubt its authenticity at all, not so much because he trusted Xue Zong, but because Sun Quan was not confident in himself. In the depths of his heart, he had already determined that He Qi, Gu Yong, and Lu Ji might betray him, and now the news that Xue Zong brought back, whether true or not, only "confirmed" Sun Quan's suspicions about these three people in the past.
