Chapter 197: The layout is too public, and the thief is visible under the moon
"Zhong Ming, why is your back soaked?" When Qin Xu saw Lu Lingqi, this girl was wiping the waist knife that she didn't know which guard battalion soldier snatched from her, and when she saw Qin Xu coming back, she immediately came up and pulled Qin Xu up and down to look at it, as if the place where Qin Xu went was a wolf's den and a tiger's den, and her worry was beyond words. Qin Xu was speechless, planning to find something to say to reassure the little girl, after all, it was thanks to Lu Lingqi who broke out and hurt people, otherwise even if the person in charge ordered not to hurt Qin Xu's life, being cut by such a heavy knife would be enough for Qin Xu to drink a pot. But suddenly, I saw Lu Lingqi rubbing the hand that had just been put down from behind Qin Xu's back, and said in surprise.
"Maybe it's because the dew is too heavy at night!" Qin Xu paused and replied casually. Although it is not yet May, the weather is already getting hotter, so where will there be any fog? Don't look at Qin Xu's wanton words and laughter in front of Cao Ying just now, blocking Cao Ying and Cao Ren from having nothing to say, but to be honest, Qin Xu still pinched a cold sweat in his heart. Not to mention that Cao Xu can dominate one side in the history of the late Han Dynasty, he must have something to rely on, just because his own 300 people are now in Chen Liucheng, where tens of thousands of troops are stationed, it is enough for Qin Xu to act like walking on thin ice, and he looks rash, but in fact, there is not a word that touches Cao Ying's bottom limit. Fortunately, because his name as the master of Qin is big enough, Cao Jun has suffered big losses several times, and he does not dare to move lightly under caution, plus now Cao Ying's mind is completely on the Chang'an side, lest he will be copied by Lu Bu's army, so he can tolerate Qin Xu to be so arbitrary. It wasn't until Qin Xu returned to the camp at this moment and relaxed his mind that Lu Lingqi discovered that Master Qin's book was actually not afraid of ghosts.
"Lie to me again! Ping said that he only heard rumors that you were doing your best to show your majesty, but he never thought that it was not much easier than the battle array, just like today...... Today, when I go back, I will tell my father that we will never do these things again next time! Although Lu Lingqi is young, she grew up beside Lu Bu, from Luoyang to Chang'an, she has seen a lot of the world with her own eyes in Dong Zhuojun, and she can also hear the truth or falsehood of Qin Xu's comforting words, so instead of being relieved by Qin Xu's comfort, she is worried.
"Am I all right? Such trivial matters are a piece of cake compared to the dangers above the battle array. Qin Xu was also extremely helpless about Lu Lingqi's behavior, and it was not good to refute Lu Lingqi's kindness, although this girl was usually talking about it, but she was a very emotional and stubborn master, and when she said it, maybe she really went back to Lu Bu to talk about it, Qin Xu couldn't do it, so he had to wait to find something to divert Lu Lingqi's attention first: "The assassination incident encountered today does not seem to be an instruction from Cao Ying's subordinates, otherwise with Cao Ying's ability to control Chen Liu, it is impossible to find out who did it." And the people who came didn't seem to want my surname, but as if they wanted something, which was really strangely tight. And these people were able to trap the old man, and they couldn't see it, and disappeared immediately, this combat power alone is also very supportable, and I don't know who is so big, and what they are trying to do! ”
"Master Qin, Dian didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but now that I think about it, I have some impressions, and I don't know if it's useful. Today, the accent of those thieves is not Yanzhou, and the person at the head is probably in the area of Sili who is biased towards the Yuzhou accent, and the people who speak under him have accents from all over the world, but most of them are also accents from Yuzhou and Xuzhou. Hearing that Qin Xu's topic turned to today's daytime assassination, Dian Wei, who had been pretending to be an invisible man next to him, suddenly spoke. Dian Wei is Chen Liuji, he is very familiar with the local pronunciation, and since he avenged others, he was taken in by Zhang Miao until he returned to Lu Bu, and the places he went to were only Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou, so the judgment value of what Dian Wei said at the moment was extremely high.
"Xuzhou? Yuzhou? "Since these people can be sure that they are not Cao Jun's subordinates, and they can even exclude people who are not local to Yanzhou, and their purpose is not to take Qin Xu's surname, then there is something to guess about the purpose of these people. Qin Xu came to the end of the Han Dynasty for only a year, although he provoked a lot of people, but after all, there was still evidence to rely on, none other than Yuan Shao of Hebei, Cao Ying of Yanzhou, the wealthy scholars of the Linzi family, and Tao Qian of Xuzhou.
Yuan Shao is now in the middle of a war with Gongsun Zhan, and is gaining the upper hand, and his people are so happy, that is, he is angry that the four major strategists under his command voted for Lu Bu three, and the first camp also fell, and the anger should also be vented on Lu Bu's body, Qin Xu is just a small person, maybe not Yuan Shao is not in the eyes of Yuan Shao at all, even if Yuan Shang was once "sent" by Qin Xu to the Black Mountain thief, but it was well hidden at that time, if Yuan Shang did not see Qin Xu with his own eyes, I am afraid he would not be able to recognize it, let alone send someone to assassinate him.
And the scholars of the Linzi family had complained a lot before because of Qin Xu's robbery of Cai Yan, and there were also a few brave people who said that they wanted to give Qin Xu a good look, but after that incident, Qin Xu repeatedly made military exploits in the surrender of Zichuan and Beihai Yellow Turbans, and the outcasts planned to contain the homeless, and his prestige was unmatched for a while under Lu Bu, and 200,000 Yellow Turban soldiers surrendered under Lu Bu's intentional momentum, and they were willing to open their eyes for Qin Xu, plus Cai Yong presided over the reopening of the Jixia School Palace, Lu Bu, the genuine lord of Qingzhou, gradually gained a firm foothold in the six counties and three places of Qingzhou, The importance of these Linzi scholars in Qingzhou has dropped significantly, and now even if they lend them the guts, they don't dare to make a mistake, let alone have the courage to assassinate Qin Xu on Cao Ying's territory.
As for Xuzhou, it is needless to say. Qin Xu went to Xuzhou several times, except for some disagreements with the pottery merchants because of Mi Zhen, every time he went to solve the great disaster in Xuzhou, not to mention offended, in addition to the Mi family, the Chen family, the Cao family and the old Tao family, Qin Xu didn't even know a few people, let alone make a feud.
"Master Qin, the guard camp has been assembled, according to your orders, Yi has already ordered him to secretly go to the camp outside the city to camp first, and after he will make peace with us in the morning, he will return to Linzi!" Lu Yi stayed outside the city this time to rely on foreign aid, and he personally followed Dian Wei with three hundred guards to follow Qin Xu into Chenliu City, but he didn't expect that it would take less than a whole day, and he was told by Qin Xu to pull out the camp and set off as soon as possible. Originally, marching and arranging the formation was the most taboo for this kind of rash order, let alone not walking with Qin Xu and the others, putting Qin Xu and the others in danger. But fortunately, these 300 people are Lu Bu's personal soldiers, and they have seen more of Qin Xu's skills, and the 1,000 people outside are the headquarters of Lu Yi, and they have always been assigned to Qin Xu's command by Lu Bu by default, and they will not be stirred without a main general, and Lu Yi has already believed Qin Xu after experiencing the scene of Qin Xu's "strong captivity" outside Beihai City talking and laughing, and nearly 200,000 people asking for surrender in front of the battle, so that the rumors that Lu Bu had compiled to appease the Yellow Turban soldiers who were forced to surrender had not yet spread, and Lu Yi had already believed it to the fullest, no matter who explains it, it will be in vain. Therefore, although he felt unbelievable about Qin Xu's order, he also resolutely expressed his obedience. also responded to what Qin Xu often said, the right order is training, the wrong order is training, don't care what the order means, in short, just obey the order.
"Ling'er, Lao Dian, let's pack up quickly, and the three of us will find another way to go outside the city to meet with each other." Qin Xu pinched his knuckles, made a horn sound, looked thoughtfully at the dark night outside the military tent, and said: "People say that Jiang Taigong is fishing, and those who wish to take the bait, today I want to see who is going to be unfavorable to Qin!" ”
"Zhongming, what are you going to ......" Lu Lingqi understood Qin Xu's words, and a worried look flashed on her face, Qin Xu's original intention of doing this was not difficult to see, and she did not intend to hide Lu Lingqi, in order to give this girl confidence and let her eliminate the idea of going to Lu Bu to speak for herself.
"There are Lao Dian, Lao Lu and our family Ling'er, and it is only three or five miles away from our army outside the city, if it is really a tricky thing, it is enough to let Lao Dian run away from me on his back, and it is enough to avoid the pursuit of those people, anyway, those people don't want to kill me, what are you afraid of him doing?" Qin Xu pretended not to care and comforted Lu Lingqi, who finally calmed down, and Chong Dianwei and Lu Yi glanced at each other.
"Miss, don't worry! With me waiting, I will definitely go back to the eldest lady's wedding, and I will return you a complete good husband! Dian Wei had a friendship with Lu Bu, and he almost strangled Lu Lingqi to death by mistake before, but he was not blamed by the girl, and when Qin Xu was assassinated, it was Lu Lingqi who "helped" Dian Wei, and Dian Wei felt guilty, and it was rare for Lu Lingqi to have a little thought about his own children, after getting Qin Xu's hint, there was a rare ease in his words, and Lu Lingqi's little face was flushed.
"Yes, eldest miss, don't forget that Master Qin's book is the reincarnation of the great sage and good teacher, and he has supernatural powers! I think about how hundreds of thousands of yellow scarves didn't take the Qin master book at the beginning, if a few thieves in this area can hurt the Qin master book, our old glue head doesn't believe it! Lu Yi also said with a big grin. In the past few days in the army, who would have thought that Lu Yi and Lu Lingqi, who have always had no spleen in their eyes, had a temper on the contrary, and they were always bragging in front of Lu Lingqi for Qin Xu in their spare time.
"Well, the more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes! Go ahead and prepare, try to make it as loud as possible, for fear they won't know! Qin Xu saw that Lu Lingqi had gone through the gags of Dian Wei and Lu Yi, and his face had calmed down, and Lu Yi was still chattering about Qin Xu's previous "great achievements", and he commanded angrily at the moment.
Chen Liu did not have a wartime curfew, although people are used to the end of the day in these years, but it does not prevent a few wine shops from closing late, and a few dim lights are revealed, the night wind is howling, and the moon is shining under the cold light, adding a bit of gloomy artistic conception. However, Qin Xu obviously didn't have the heart to appreciate this Chen Liu's night scene now, and touched the customs clearance document signed by Cao Ying in his arms, but the corner of his eye was behind the shadow of the shining wine shop pillar.
"These people don't seem to be professional killers! I only knew how to avoid the reflection of the moonlight, but I didn't pay attention to the refraction of the light in the slit window. I have nothing to do at night, hiding behind a pillar to hide my tracks, is it because I am afraid that others will not know that they have a trick? Thanks to the "teachings" of the suspense dramas that filled the Internet in later generations, Qin Xu was very "helpless" to discover a few figures that they might think they were hiding well.
