In Yuzhou, Yingchuan County, Qin Xu and his entourage, who did not know that Dong Cheng was planning, were only a hundred miles away from Xuchang, the place of governance. Zhengzi ordered the army to be stationed to rest, ready to recuperate, and went straight to Xuchang early in the morning. But he suddenly heard that Sima Mao, the commander of the trapped camp, suddenly came to report that the pottery merchant wanted to see Qin Xu alive or dead.

"The potter wants to see Qin? Well, it's good to see you! When Qin Xu heard Sima Mao's report, he was also stunned, groaned slightly, and said.

For Qin Xu, the potter can be regarded as an old enemy. Since Qin Xu first went to Xuzhou and met Mi Zhen, the son of the Tao family has not dealt with Qin Xu very much, and was beaten up by Qin Xu for the first time, and even issued a "Yellow Turban Chase and Kill Order" to Qin Xu, and he wanted to take Qin Xu's surname alive.

But now, Mi Zhen, who was "competing" with Qin Xu at the beginning, has married the wife of the Qin family, and after the Mi Zhu and Mi Fang brothers attached themselves to Qingzhou, they relied on Qin's sea salt making method to make the Mi family trade route reach the Central Plains and radiate Kyushu, and they have become one of the top businessmen in the Han Dynasty, and Qin Xu has become a senior official in the Han Dynasty in just two years. On the other hand, the pottery merchant, since the death of his father Tao Qian, although he was named the Xuzhou Mu by Yuan Shu, the emperor of the Zhong family, and nominally "inherited" all of Tao Qian's legacy, but because of his boldness, he thought that he could take advantage of Lu Bu, so that he ended up in a deep cage. If the potter knew the words of later generations, he would definitely sigh that the coffee table of life was really full of cups.

is different from Zhang Min and Yu Fang. After all, the potter was an "old friend", so he was not invited to enjoy Sima Mao's special care. When he was brought up by Sima Mao, although his hair was a little scattered, at least his clothes were neat, and he didn't have a particularly painful look on his ugly face.

"Sinners potter, I've seen Qin Envoy!" Without waiting for the soldiers standing beside him to push and shove, the pottery merchant immediately made a big salute after seeing Qin Xu, and called Qin Xu the king, which made Qin Xu stunned for a moment. If it weren't for the fact that he was really impressed by the ugly face of the potter, he almost didn't recognize the guy in front of him who was quite discerning and had a low profile, and it turned out to be the stupid bold who dared to chase Lu Bu's 20,000 elites with thousands of Danyang soldiers.

"Tao Gongzi is exempt, left and right, move a Maza for Tao Gongzi." The potter had such a low-voiced gesture, and he took the initiative to ask to see Qin Xu, but Qin Xu didn't know what medicine was being sold in the potter's gourd for a while, so he ordered.

"Qin Envoy Jun! ......" If it was said that the potter's action just now was just Qin Xu's curiosity, this time the potter suddenly knelt on the ground, buckled his head like pounding garlic, and his face was full of sobs, which really surprised Qin Xu, only to see that the potter's strength came from nowhere, and he actually shook off the palm of the trapped camp soldier who wanted to come and take his arm because of the action just now, lay on the ground, sobbed, and said: "I also hope that Qin Envoy Jun will see that his father will give Xuzhou to you, and save a certain salvation!" The Tao clan must be grateful for Jun Ende! ”

"Huh? Tao Gongzi is asking for the wrong person, right? After a short period of consternation, looking at the potter's panicked appearance like a lost dog, Qin Xu couldn't understand why the potter suddenly became like this. You must know that the matter of the pottery merchant hiding the heirloom jade seal has not been spread for long. Although it is almost an open secret of all forces, the potter was captured by Lu Busheng when he was chasing Lu Bu, and there is no reason to know such a thing. Moreover, what the potter said was also accurate about some of what Qin Xu planned to do next, which naturally made Qin Xu feel a little uneasy in his heart.

"The sinners were tempted by others, attached to the traitors who wanted to usurp the country, and the brother of the sin was deceived by the annihilation of the people, and was convicted by Lu Wenhou, although my Tao family is not a generation of ministers, but it is also a good family, and I hope that Qin will make Jun Nian the sincere trust of his father, and leave a pulse of incense for the Tao family!" Qin Xu really couldn't understand why the potter suddenly changed his previous arrogance and arrogance, and even after being captured by Lu Busheng, he looked cold and indifferent, but he became desperate for his life.

"Zhongming, there is news from Xuchang. Hey, you have guests? Qin Xu is not a local "native" after all, it is really difficult to understand why the pottery merchant was so arrogant before, but after approaching Xuchang, he suddenly changed as if he was a person. was in doubt, but suddenly saw Guo Jia, who was full of contemplation, hurriedly walked in from outside the tent, and saw the potter who was kneeling on the ground begging for mercy for a moment, and then changed into the usual lazy look, and said with a smile.

"Xuchang? Dead cat, you take the potter out first. "Since Qin Xu entered the boundary of Yingchuan County, he didn't know where he came from, and he always felt that something was going to happen, so he ordered the army to camp in the name of rest and recuperation when the sun was still some time away. After listening to Guo Jia's words this time, Qin Xu immediately ordered to take out the pottery merchant who had become embarrassed like his second brother Tao Ying, and asked Guo Jia: "Fengxiao don't want to joke, could it be that he got any news from Xuchang?" ”

"There is good news and bad news, which do you listen to first?" Guo Jia smiled and played Qin Xu's trick in Lu Bu's mansion.

"Uh...... Then listen to the bad news first! Qin Xu didn't expect that Guo Jia would also be a non-Han mainstream figure who is learning and using it now, and receiving new things is not usually fast, and there is no pressure to pirate, so he can only laugh helplessly and say.

"The bad news is ......" Guo Jia also sold a pass at a key place like Qin Xu, seeing Qin Xu rolled his eyes, he said with a smile: "According to the report of the horse exploration sent to Xuchang by us, it is rumored that the city of Xuchang is full of rumors that the master of Qin brought a thief who stole the artifact to Xuchang this time, and the Son of Heaven was overjoyed, and he actually followed the advice of Uncle Dong Guo, and prepared to receive Zhongming you with the highest standard of reception etiquette in the Ming Dynasty, and the Son of Heaven also issued a special edict, It was ordered that all the civil and military officials of the court, including the cavalry general Cao Ying, should follow the Son of Heaven Luan out of the city for thirty miles to greet him. ”

"Huh? That's bad news! Qin Xu smiled bitterly when he heard this, as early as the potter's face suddenly changed, Qin Xu felt that maybe something was going to happen, and sure enough, the news of the world came quickly, and it took a little more effort to come true. At this point, Qin Xu looked at Guo Jia's unhurried appearance, and suddenly felt that there was such a great god by his side, he was really worried, laughed self-deprecatingly, and asked Guo Jia: "Now that Dong Cheng is spreading the news with such fanfare on this juncture, it is really good-looking, so the plan that we have agreed to use the relationship between the potter and Tao Ying to create an escape opportunity for the potter to muddy this muddy water is about to fail." It seems that Qin underestimated him before. It's just that I don't know what the good news of Bonghyo is next? ”

"The good news is that although it is inconvenient for us to take on the charge of lax guarding and order the soldiers to release the potters, we can still act according to the original plan, but we can change it slightly, and it is not a good policy." Guo Jia looked at Qin Xu's changing face with a smile, took off the wine gourd on his waist and took a sip, and suddenly the aroma of wine in the military tent spread.

"Change?" When Qin Xu heard what Guo Jia said, he seemed to have a faint understanding, and asked, "How to change?" It's not that he doesn't take the initiative to let the potters go, but ......, he can't, Dong Chengnai is the uncle of the country, although he has the false name of a chariot general, but even if the Son of Heaven trusts him again, he will not give him the right to fight, and because of Dong Zhuo's matter, now the Dong family only has Dong Cheng and Dong Guiren's father and daughter, and there is no friend with military power who can be trusted, but this plan does not work. ”

"General Qin is really talented!" I don't know when Guo Jia learned this fake outrageous praise from Jia Xu, carefully plugged the mouth of the wine gourd, checked it carefully, hung it firmly on his waist, waved his sleeve and pointed to the southwest, and said to Qin Xu with a smile: "But General Qin's words are bad." After all, Dong Cheng is dozens of years old, and even if he is mixed up in this life, he will always have one or two friends......"

"You mean Li Dao Guo Yan? No way, no way! Qin Xu saw that Guo Jia actually caught the attention of those two people, and almost subconsciously retorted: "Since the two thieves went to Nanyang, they have always been cautious, it seems that they are ignoring the disputes of the surrounding forces, according to the idea of Wuguan to stick to it, how can they come to this troubled water?" Besides, the two thieves were with Dong Cheng before...... Huh......"

Qin Xu was talking, and suddenly from Guo Jia's faint smile, he remembered the first person in history who was the first person to strike the army and send the Son of Heaven back to Luoyang, isn't it this uncle? And at that time, Dong Cheng was helping in Chang'an, although the two thieves occupied Chang'an, but when they were fighting, they still listened to Liu Xie's mediation for a period of time, and it seemed that Dong Cheng came forward. It is impossible to say that when Qin Xu rescued the car before, Dong Chengdu (standing) outside the hundred officials and ran in the defeated army of Xiliang, in order to persuade the two thieves to let go of the Son of Heaven's strategy in order to delay it. After a lot of effort, maybe he was already a little nervous, but he was cut off by Qin Xu halfway, no wonder he wanted to kill Qin Xu to avenge his revenge.

"Dong Cheng was born in the Dong clan in Hedong, and he is the same clan as the thief Dong Zhuonai, so he also has a deep friendship with the Xiliang army. And because he is the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Dong, he used to have a lot of say on the courtiers' side. I waited for this news, and no one would know about it, so if a cavalry who could suddenly kill a cavalry who could be as strong as us and rob the pottery merchant halfway through, it would be the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. Guo Jia's eyes flashed with a little bit of wisdom, his face turned a little red because of a few sips of wine, and he talked with Qin Xu eloquently, saying: "Besides, although Li Guo's two thieves Xiliang Tieqi did not mix with the 'grand act' of exterminating Yuan Shu this time, and it seems that he still has a little bit of discord with Yuan Shu, but the temptation of this heirloom jade seal is enough to make anyone crazy." As for how to deal with the aftermath and how to 'return' this gift to Dong Cheng, it is necessary to wait until I see Dong Cheng and then deal with it randomly. ”

"What Feng Xiao said makes a lot of sense!" Qin Xu looked at the direction leading to Xuchang, which was a hundred miles away, nodded with a smile, his face was straight, and he said to the outside of the tent: "Come on, just send the potter back to his residence, even if he says that Qin will definitely consider it carefully tonight." Let's go and see you again in the future! ”

"No!" (To be continued.) )
