At noon the next day, although the sun was not like fire, it was also quite hot.

Shuzhou Thorn History Mansion, in the courtyard.

Thorn Shi Liang Shidao had lunch, his robe was open and his chest was leaning on a recliner in the courtyard, with the shade of the sky tree above his head, crunching and rocking the chaise longue to take advantage of the cold, the pu fan in his hand was fluttering, and his eyes were slightly closed as if he was pretending to sleep.

After lunch, take a nap to escape the heat and race against the living immortals.

Suddenly, an uninvited guest stumbled into the courtyard from outside, and shouted in a surprisingly loud voice: "Lord Thorn Shi, Lord Thorn Shi, it's terrible, something is wrong!" ”

Scold~

Liang Shidao's eyes widened, and the whole person sat up from the recliner reflexively, and looked in the direction of the voice with a mist of anger on his face.

In the blink of an eye, someone had already run up to him.

It is the commander of Shuzhou - Yu Kui.

At the right time, Liang Shidao found that he was untidy, and he was bare-chested, so he turned around again and again to tidy it up, and reprimanded angrily in his mouth: "What kind of body is panicking? The sky hasn't fallen yet! ”

After reprimanding angrily, he turned around neatly, looked at Yu Kui with a panicked face, and shouted, "Say, what's going on?" ”

Yu Kui wiped the sweat stains on his forehead, glanced at Liang Shidao, who was still a little wrinkled in his clothes, and said secretly, what a fucking fake serious, pretending to be a grandchild.

After scolding and scolding in his heart, Yu Kuicai said cautiously: "Lord Assassin Shi, this morning the lower officials received a letter of order issued by His Royal Highness the King of Shu in the name of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of Shuzhou. ”

Liang Shidao frowned, eager to kill Yu Kui with a fan, and asked angrily, "That's it?" You're panicking because of this? Yu Kui, could it be that you are entertaining the history of this assassination? ”

"No, no, no," Yu Kui shook his head again and again, and hurriedly explained, "Where do you dare to entertain you?" Lord Thorn. Do you know what is written in this letter? ”

Liang Shidao's brows were already twisted into pimples at this time, looking at Yu Kui's appearance, he couldn't help but say, could it be that there is still a lot of article in it?

Then he forcibly endured the dissatisfaction in his heart, sat back on the recliner, stretched out his hand and asked: "Don't go around in circles with me, bring me the order letter!" ”

Yu Kui was silent, took out the order letter from his sleeve and respectfully presented it, and handed it to Liang Shidao's hand.

Liang Shidao read this letter from beginning to end, and couldn't help sneering: "Hehe, the King of Shu is really restless at a young age, let the Taiping prince not be, I have to add to the history of this thorn." Bacheng also has a suggestion from the surname Guo behind the scenes, right? ”

After sneering, he tore up the letter and threw it on the ground as if he was venting, and said gloomily: "The governor of Shuzhou ordered to quickly summon the lieutenants of the nine major prefectures to come to Shuzhou to visit." Tsk, what a majesty, what a momentum. ”

Yu Kui didn't know what Liang Shidao was thinking, so he hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes, this letter of order was not only sent to the lower officials, but also the other eight prefectures. His Royal Highness the King of Shu made such a big move, what is this for? ”

"What does he want to do?"

Liang Shidao squinted his eyes and speculated: "It's nothing more than to tell Ben Thorn Shi that he, the king of Shu, Li Ke, is the governor of Shuzhou; It's nothing more than wanting to show his majesty in front of this assassin's history. Otherwise, what do you think his actions can represent? ”

Yu Kui always felt that this matter was not as simple as Liang Shidao said, and asked: "Lord Assassin Shi, does the lower official want to obey the order and go to meet His Royal Highness the King of Shu in five days as the commander of Shuzhou?" ”

"Go! Why not go? ”

Liang Shidao stretched out his finger and pointed at Yu Kui, and said in a commanding tone: "Not only are you going, but you are going to repair the book for this assassination history to Zhang Duwei of Bazhou's Zhichong Governor's Mansion, Fan Duwei of Zhenzhou, Xu Duwei of Yongzhou, and Du Duwei of Duanzhou." You tell them that you will obey the order of the king of Shu at that time, and come to meet us, the governor of Shuzhou, as promised. ”

"Huh?"

At this time, Yu Kui was even more confused, and asked in a confused manner: "Lord Thorn Shi, why is this?" Doesn't this further boost the prestige of His Royal Highness the King of Shu? Otherwise, simply treat it as if you haven't received this letter of order, ignore it and don't go to anyone. ”

Liang Shidao shook his head and said, "No, I still have to go." After all, he is nominally the governor of Kyushu's military affairs, and if he doesn't go, he will leave a tongue on him. If he uses this excuse to play the court, he will cause us trouble. ”

Speaking of this, Liang Shidao reminded with a sneer: "Going to see him doesn't mean that he has to do whatever he says, understand?" ”

Yu Kui had a look of sudden realization on his face, and he let out a long sound, and said: "The meaning of Lord Assassin Shi Xia Guan understands, the big guy wants to hug into a group, and he is against the yang and yin, does this mean?" ”

Liang Shidao looked at him with satisfaction with his teachable eyes, but he said reservedly: "Captain Yu, you can't talk nonsense." The king of Shu came to Shuzhou by order, and the history of this assassin failed to build the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of Shuzhou for him because of the lack of silver in the treasury, and he was already guilty. When you go back, you prepare five hundred taels of silver for this thorn history and send it to His Royal Highness the King of Shu, which should be regarded as the heart of the Shuzhou Thorn History Mansion for the King of Shu. Anyway, summon nine Zhichong Lieutenants to the meeting, there must be wine, meat, singing and dancing there in the King of Shu, right? Can't be too shabby, can it? ”

Five hundred taels of silver?

Yu Kui's face did not move, but in his heart, he almost didn't scold the eighteenth generation of Liang Shidao's ancestors, grandma, you dare to give it away, the royal prince will be in Shuzhou, and you will send five hundred taels of silver to someone? You are a humble person, Liang Shidao!

Liang Shidao saw that Yu Kui did not answer, and added: "Hehe, five hundred taels of silver is a little less, but for my Shuzhou Thorn Mansion, it is quite difficult to get five hundred taels." Alas, the entire treasury is empty, but what a day, what a ~~"

Yu Kui had no choice but to smile and echo: "Yes, yes, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and it is not easy for you to assassinate Lord Shi, I think His Royal Highness the King of Shu should be able to understand." I'll leave this matter to the lower officials. ”

"Good!"

Liang Shidao, who was sitting on the recliner, slowly leaned back, and the whole person lay on the chair again, rocking the chair leisurely, waving his hand and saying, "Okay, nothing else, you go down first." The King of Shu summoned a few of you, what to say and what not to say, you should always know, right? ”

Yu Kui nodded, and responded cautiously: "Don't worry, Lord Thorn Shi, we know the severity." ”

But after speaking, Yu Kui didn't seem to have any intention of leaving.

Liang Shidao saw it and asked curiously, "What?" Something else to tell the official? ”

Yu Kui scratched his cheeks in embarrassment, and said with a wry smile: "Lord Assassin Shi, the lower officials are a little worried, and they always feel uneasy in their hearts. ”

Liang Shidao put his hands on the armrests of the recliner, stopped shaking and asked, "What do you have to worry about?" So what's going on? ”

Yu Kui said in a low voice: "You said that this time, His Royal Highness the King of Shu will be a fief, and there are dozens of states and counties in Shu to choose from, but Your Majesty just let him be in the county seat of Shuzhou, and control the military affairs of the other eight state capitals around." You say, did the emperor receive some rumors and came to the canyon under the Python Dragon Mountain in Shuzhou? ”

"Shut up!"

After a while, Liang Shidao's face suddenly turned as pale as paper, and his whole nerves tensed, and he sat up from the recliner again, his eyes shining with a fierce light: "What are you yelling about?" I think you're dying too long. Yu Kui, let me tell you, if you want to live well, it's best to take care of your broken mouth for this official. ”

"Your Excellency, your anger!"

Yu Kui was also scolded by Liang Shidao for a while, and promised in a low voice: "Xiaguan and adults are all in the same boat, how can they talk nonsense?" I'm just worried about our ......."

"Get out, get out!"

Liang Shidao saw that Yu Kui was still chattering, and without saying a word, he smashed the fan in his hand on his face, suddenly stood up and waved his hand to chase away the guest: "If you talk nonsense again, be careful that your head is not protected." ”

"Huh? My lord, the lower officials are just ......"

"Say? Get out of here, get out! ”

"Oh......"

Yu Kui was so frightened that the back of his neck felt cold, and he retreated abruptly, and hurried out of the Assassin's Mansion in a panic.

After Liang Shidao saw Yu Kui leaving, he didn't know why he panicked for no reason, and secretly said in his heart, could it be that it was really like what he said, the king of Shu was ordered to conquer Shuzhou, and he really came to the canyon under the python dragon mountain?

No way!

Liang Shidao suddenly ran quickly in the direction of the study, muttering to himself, just in case, I have to send a letter to Lord Xiao and ask what is going on!

At this time, the Cao Gang was ordered by Sun Mingyan, the chief helmsman, to escort several large mule carts of silver ashore, and entered the county seat of Shuzhou after a while.

In just half an hour, several large mule carts loaded with heavy silver taels arrived at the gate of the Zhichong Duwei Mansion in Shuzhou, where Li Ke, the king of Shu, temporarily lived. , the home of reading! Unique URL:
