Things seem to be a bit unexpected by Qin Xu, I thought that Shi A was left in the army by himself, and there would inevitably be his henchmen to save him or the people behind him would have other actions, but since the night of the return trip, after the assassins of the assassination incident were killed and released by Qin Xu with a strategy, perhaps because Qin Xu has always been guarded by the first battalion and the army of the personal guard battalion, all the way until he entered the Qingzhou territory, and he was about to return to Linzi City. has been very calm, let alone come to rescue Shi A.

Something unusual is a demon, and this unreasonable thing makes Qin Xu quite puzzled. Could it be that this Shi A, who has always been regarded as the leader of the assassins by Qin Xu and others, is it unpopular in his organization? Or is there something else going on? Not to mention that this Shi Ah not only had quite strange words and deeds before, as if he really had some real evidence, he kept saying that Qin Xu was so and that unbearable, and according to Lu Yi's report, Shi Ah was in the camp for a few days, and the whole person was also extremely calm, and it seemed that he had been prepared for his "encounter" for a long time, not to mention that he was not too angry, but it was quite puzzling as if he had relaxed a lot. In addition, these assassins who acted with Shi Ah before were too strange and unusual in terms of origin, style and purpose, especially their attitude towards their own leaders and the so-called organization, which made people feel like they were obviously good people, but they were forcibly pieced together by the parts of their bodies that were originally unrelated, and it was indescribable to make people feel awkward about how they thought about it.

As for Shi A himself, Qin Xu was actually a little impressed after thinking about it for the past few days. If this is the man. When it is enshrined in the swordsmanship of Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi in history. He was originally a Luoyang Ranger, and later studied under Wang Yue, who could fight with horses and Lu Bu in swordsmanship, and fought with Dian Wei and was known as the world's first great swordsman. The way of swordsmanship is the true biography of Wang Yue, who was a master of guards who was difficult to invite from the Luoyang Princess, and he was very popular back then. However, after Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang and moved the capital to Chang'an, Wang Yue Shi'a, the master and apprentice, had no news of them, and no one knew their whereabouts, but what was unpredictable was that this person had disappeared for many years. Unexpectedly, he would appear among the assassins who came to "assassinate" Qin Xu.

"Master Qin, the reply from Mi Zhu, the head of the Mi family, has arrived!" At a time when Qin Xu was puzzled by this assassination against him, as well as Shi A's abnormality. Lu Yi arranged for someone to send a letter to Mi Zhu's people quickly, and Mi Zhu's reply was brought back. Qin Xu took the reply letter handed by Lu Yi, and read it at a glance, but his brows gradually wrinkled.

After noticing the abnormalities of Shi A and the others who did the assassins, Qin Xu had thought about countless possibilities. Among them, it is because the Mi family accidentally leaked Qin Xu's sea salt control strategy. The huge profits obtained aroused the covetousness of his peers, after all, the wealth is charming, and the gold moves the heart, this kind of thing Qin Xu has seen a lot in his previous life, and at that time, he saw all kinds of unreasonable abnormalities of Shi A and others, but it made it somewhat similar to the dishonorable methods in the fighting of the merchant sea in later generations. And the attitude of the Xuzhou family is quite good because of the two rescues of Pi in danger, and the cooperation between the Mi family and Lu Bu is quite profitable. There will be no one who wants to replace him, but the marriage between the Mi family and Lu Bu through Qin Xu has always been a big stalk. If some means can be used to loosen the relationship between Lu Bu and Mi Zhu, so that such a large "business", with a little Qin Xu in the middle, is undoubtedly the most direct and simple means to make the Mi family fall out of favor with Lu Bu.

But to Qin Xu's disappointment, Mi Zhu's reply did mention that there are already many merchants in Xuzhou, Qingzhou and even other states who are indeed very interested in the rash rise of the Mi family, from a local businessman, to the process of radiation and diffusion to the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, of course, some people used some disgraceful means, but because the Mi family's secrecy measures were in place, the matter of this law from Qin Xu was not leaked out, that is to say, Qin Xu, who is just a master book, does not have the same status in the eyes of the Xuzhou family as he imagined. Therefore, although Qin Xu felt a little "hit" psychologically, although Shi A and the others participated in the participation of people with Xuzhou accents, it was not as Qin Xu thought.

After reading Mi Zhu's reply, Qin Xu's previous thoughts were completely overturned, although Qin Xu was a little disappointed, but Mi Zhu's seemingly inconsequential words at the end of the letter made Qin Xu, who had made a mistake in judgment, his mind was a little lively, and he even felt like seeing a light in the dark.

Mi Zhu left Cao Xing, Zang Ba, and Tai Shici to lead 20,000 people to garrison Xuzhou, and married Cao Bao, the first general in Xuzhou's "natives", at least in terms of military strength, he could almost compete with the Tao family, who controlled two-thirds of the original Danyang elite soldiers in Xuzhou, so that the Tao family, who had almost ordered Pi to change hands because of several mistakes, was weakened a lot in terms of control of Xuzhou. I don't know what Tao Qian is crazy about, not only does he not care about it, but he even acquiesces to his second son Tao Ying to go to the Jixia School Palace, which was reopened in Qingzhou, to study under Kong Rong, who has a good personal relationship.

Although due to Mi Zhen's reasons, Mi Zhu used a tone that was almost like a family letter, and after completing Qin Xu's entrustment to investigate the Xuzhou family, businessmen and other things, Tao Qian's move that disappointed the Xuzhou officials was like a small talk, but in Qin Xu's eyes, it seemed that he was already in a mess, and Mi Zhu had no intention of helping us find the thread.

Tao Qian! Tao Ying! Kong Rong! Wang Yue! Shia! These people seem to have nothing to do with the assassination that Qin Xu encountered, except for Shi A, but whether they will be related to each other cannot but make Qin Xu have a different thought in his heart.

Tao Qian and Kong Rong are old friends, it is not surprising at all, the age difference between the two is not much, before they were in the same court, from the history when Cao Cao wanted to slaughter Xuzhou to avenge his father, Tao Qian's first object of help was Kong Rong, and before Lu Bu entered Qingzhou, Tao Qian's forces penetrated into Qingzhou through Langya County and Kong Rong's junction, and the relationship between the two has always been good.

Tao Ying, as Tao Qian's second son, was asked by Sima Zanghong in Qingzhou for the frequent omen of Qingzhou's great drought, and when he saw the list that made Qin Xu half ecstatic and half depressed when he was in the Jixia School Palace, Qin Xu, who was affected by the complex feelings of going back and forth, was also a little curious about Tao Ying who appeared on the list at that time, but because the shining "golden light" of Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, and Shi Tao was too dazzling, Tao Ying's sissy "little person" did not make Qin Xu only think that maybe it was the same name, and he didn't care too much. But thinking about it at the moment, it seems that the book in Mi Zhu's letter once again caused Tao Ying to study Qingzhou when the officials in Xuzhou had some emotions towards Tao Qian.

Although Wang Yue is praised by the world in terms of force, he is a typical official fan, when the second emperor Huan Ling, he has been in the imperial capital Luoyang for a long time, but because his background has never been taken seriously, after Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, Kong Rong ran out of Ben and was appointed as the minister of Beihai, and later changed to Beihai Taishou, I don't know if Wang Yue is not ashamed of Dong Zhuo or other reasons, it seems to disappear out of thin air, and there is no news. At that time, because of Dong Zhuo's tyranny, everyone in Luoyang was in danger, and at that time, no one would have the leisure to pay attention to the news of a person who was not very well received by everyone, and Wang Yue's whereabouts became a mystery. Could it be that Kong Rong, a person with a bold personality, who has always liked to make friends, and has a high reputation in the DPRK and China, was properly settled? After all, since Kong Rong arrived in Beihai, as a literati, he has led troops to conquer abroad several times, and has actively responded to the alliance of the princes to crusade against Dong Zhuo. He's not a fool.

Moreover, after Kong Rong was forced to return to Beihai to join Lu Bu, he never put the official position of Qingzhou Zhizhong appointed by Lu Bu in his eyes, and seemed to be really intoxicated with the great cause of educating people in the Jixia School Palace, which was very different from the character shown by Kong Rong's previous actions. Although because of Kong Rong's reasons, the great Confucians in the Jixia School Palace gathered, which was also a great achievement for Qingzhou, but Kong Rong's release of Liu Bei at the beginning made Qin Xu vigilant, so this time for Qin Xu's assassination and Shi A's appearance, will it also have something to do with it?

You must know that Qin Xu's reputation in the Lu Bu army as Lu Bu's son-in-law is only a matter of more than half a year, and in terms of the speed of communication at the end of the Han Dynasty, it only stops at Qingyan Erzhou, and even if Xuzhou was not for the Mi family and Qingzhou and Lu Bu's rescue of Xuzhou, he had a disagreement with the eldest son of his own father-in-law, and also made the name of Qin Xu, the protagonist of the Yellow Turban Hunting and Killing Order of Laoshizi, is not very obvious, so for such a small person who is not an official but a little government but is not the main book, his location is about to come out. What's more, the so-called greedy for money, lustful, and extremely vicious words refer only to the fact that Qin Xu "forced" Cai Yong in Linzi and the two things that promoted a big businessman like the Mi family to take refuge. With Cai Yong as a friend, Tao Ying who is familiar with this matter by his side, and even Wang Yue may be beside him, Kong Rong, who has integrated all the suspicious factors, has to arouse Qin Xu's suspicions.

"Lao Koji, after you return to the camp, the guards of Na Shi A should be loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and you will send someone to take you around Linzi Street every once in a while, but you must pay attention to whether anyone will enter your camp or get close to Shi A for various reasons recently, especially the Qingzhou officials who are not military generals, you don't need to deliberately stop it, just write down your name!" Qin Xu let out a long breath and said to Lu Yi, who had been waiting for orders with him in a daze.

"No!" Although Lu Yi didn't know what Qin Xu was thinking, and there was no one on the road from Chen Liu to Linzi that Qin Xu expected that someone would come to visit the camp, but seeing Qin Xu's confident appearance, he still chose to obey Qin Xu's order and go in response.
