The clock goes back five hours. In Qin Xu's tent in Jiangzhu Beach, Qin Xu and Gan Ning, who were deliberately guarding both sides, sat opposite each other.

Qin Xu is a civil servant, if there is no sword and axe hand behind the military tent, in Gan Ning's eyes, there will be no lethality, so there is not much resistance to meeting Qin Xu alone, Gan Ning, who has his own courage. In Gan Ning's mind, there should be nervousness at this moment, but it should be Qin Xu.

After all, he is the leader of the famous Jinfan thieves, who has been crisscrossing the river for several years, and even Liu Biao, the overlord of Jingxiang, is very jealous; And Qin Xu is rumored to be just a slave in Lu Bu's mansion, and the few battles he has experienced have not shown any personal bravery, so that the two of them are alone in one tent, Gan Ning is completely sure that within five steps and a few breaths, he can easily take Qin Xu's life. Inevitably, I let my guard down.

"There are no six ears here. Qin Yuanjun doesn't have to try to joke anymore! This time I summoned Gan to come, what do you have to say, please make it clear! If it is for the safety of the more than 100 brothers, then please don't say it, this time it was just a misunderstanding, and Gan did not want to easily grudge with the envoy and Liu Envoy. And Gan is now coming in person, just to show his attitude, first, to make amends to Qin Envoy Jun and the brother who fell into the water, and secondly, to ask Qin Envoy Jun to pick up those brothers, so as not to have a deeper misunderstanding after a long time! Gan Ning spoke simply and directly, and as soon as he came up, he directly blocked Qin Xu's opportunity to speak later. After all, although Qin Xu's courtesy made Gan Ning feel good, after all, there was a misunderstanding between the two families before. And rumors are also rife among the rivers and lakes that Gan Ning wants to vote for Liu Biao. Gan Ning thought that he would not be so stupid as to give a handle to someone Qin who was rumored to be poisoned. In addition, at this moment, there are only himself and Qin Xu in the account, so he simply doesn't bother to go around in circles again. Child. After only a pause, he directly said the original intention of coming.

"Xingba really deserves the name of a hero! Readily! Speaking of which, the previous incident also gave a wake-up call to Zhao and others. Let these people also know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and they will not be too arrogant in the future! Well, since this matter is discussed, a certain person will be the master, and there is no need to worry about the previous things! I really didn't expect Gan Ning to go straight to this point, as soon as the words came out, it was Qin Xu, who had already been mentally prepared. was also stunned for a moment by Gan Ning's words, but immediately. Qin Xu understood the implicit meaning of Gan Ning's words. After all, Gan Ning is not a military general who simply relies on force to gain fame, otherwise he would not have left a reputation in history for reading the Zhuzi Sutra, not to mention anything else, at least there is something in it. Gan Ning is pure and incomparably used.

The meaning of Gan Ning's words is actually very clear. Although he Gan Ning came to Lu Bu's territory this time, he did want to get some "qualifications", so that he could promote his friend Su Fei in front of Huang Zu several times, and when he bothered to help him recommend him, he didn't have to be too embarrassed because of the name of the Jinfan thief. But since he offended Qin Xu because of a "misunderstanding", in the face of Lu Bujun's strong military strength, he was willing to settle this time and was willing to give in. I just hope that because of this matter, I will not be involved in the current battle between the two families of 70,000 or 80,000 people.

And who is Qin Xu? That was also tested by alcohol in later generations. Listening to the strings and singing and knowing the meaning of elegance is a necessary basic skill, how can you not understand the faint estrangement in Gan Ning's respect. Even if there is a "tacit understanding" of the previous jokes. It is still far from the point where Gan Ning bows his head and worships. It's okay to pull left and right, it's better to take advantage of this matter to form a good fate with Gan Ning, maybe there will be something else to gain.

"Thanks to the generosity of the envoy, Gan and his brothers are grateful! also remembered Gan's wrong love for the envoy! In the future, if you need to help you, Gan will do your best to repay the feelings of knowing each other! "Actually, if it's just about impressions. Gan Ning was also talking about the one in front of him, but he was not as boring as some sour Confucian scribes. And he knows a lot about his past, and he is a young prince who does not talk to him. It's still very good. After all, if you are not interested in a person, you will not be interested in learning about some of this person's situation, and it is so detailed, especially in some places, such as the absurd things before, Qin Xu will actually beautify them rhetorically, and it is even more right for Gan Ning's temperament, which is already temperamental. Therefore, although Gan Ning was obviously deliberately avoiding the previous joke topic, he couldn't help but be moved by Qin Xu's "concern".

"Xingba's meaning, Qin knows everything, rest assured, Qin is the most reluctant to force anyone!" Qin Xu was very satisfied with Gan Ning's attitude, nodded with a smile, looked like I understood, and said with emotion: "Don't talk about anything else, just being able to meet and drink with Xingba today is actually a blessing for Qin!" In this way, let's settle the business first, and then get drunk and rest, no matter whether we meet on the battlefield in the future, we will never live up to our acquaintance, how about it? ”

"Hmm! Gan Mou, but by the order of the envoy! I didn't realize that Qin Xu was using a trick against his personality and trying to brush up on his friendly Gan Ning, but he was really touched by Qin Xu's words that were right. I also feel that I am indeed a little too arrogant this time.

Qin Xu, as the lord of a state, is also a high-ranking official of the imperial court, and his military position is that he is the general of Zhengdong who governs the military affairs around Qing, Xu, Yu, and Yang, can he talk to himself as a mere water thief to this step, and he can afford to spend so much effort to fool himself? Gan Ning thought about it, but it was not good to say anything that rejected people thousands of miles away.

"Why don't you do that!" Seeing that Gan Ning had greatly changed his attitude because of these few heartfelt words, Qin Xu's smile became even worse, he pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "First of all, please Xingba don't misunderstand Qin's meaning." First of all, don't be afraid of Xingba's jokes, the more than 100 soldiers who were 'invited' by Xingba you this time were actually from Qin's escort army, and they had been in the majestic camp in the northern war. And Xingba, you also know that this time Liu Jingsheng took advantage of the opportunity of being dragged by the villain, perhaps because he had some kind of agreement with the forces of 'other families', and tore his face to attack blatantly, plotting against me in Yangzhou Danyang and Yuzhang counties. What his heart is, it is obvious to passers-by. And if he learned that Xingba really 'invited' more than 100 soldiers to the camp first, and then used them. I'm afraid it will bring boundless disasters to Xingba! ”

"Woe!? Why did Qin Envoy teach me? Gan Ning understood Qin Xu's words, but while Gan Ning put himself in Qin Xu's shoes, he actually didn't care much about Qin Xu's words. Especially Qin Xu said in the end that he would bring disaster to himself. It made Gan Ning a little disapproving. But at the beginning of Qin Xu's meeting, he treated him politely, and he had just decided that before Huang Zu paid enough attention to him, he was only fighting with Lu and Liu Biao and Lu Bu's two armies, so Gan Ning did not agree with Qin Xu's words. But he didn't say it to death.

"Xingba Mo didn't think Qin was cheating you, right?" Gan Ning almost had the word doubt written on his face. How could Qin Xu not be able to see it. Not annoyed, Qin Xu still kept smiling. said to Gan Ning: "As far as I know, Xingba has a close friend, named Su Fei, who is currently the governor of the naval army under Liu Jingsheng. It's just for that Huang Zu to dispatch, right? ”

"Hmmm! Indeed! Brother Su is indeed a close friend! But so what? What does it have to do with today's events? Gan Ning didn't have much psychological fluctuation when he said Su Fei's name to Qin Xu, after all, some family affairs that he couldn't even remember clearly before, Qin Xu could count them like treasures, and it was not surprising to know Su Fei's friendship with him.

"Presumably, that Brother Su of Xingba has already promoted Xingba several times in front of that Huang Zu and has no way to do it, right?" Qin Xu hooked the corners of his mouth and asked.

"Ahem! Not bad! "What Qin Xu said is the truth. Although Gan Ning was a little embarrassed, he didn't deny it.

"That's right!" Qin Xu nodded meaningfully, turning a blind eye to Gan Ning's puzzled gaze. But he suddenly changed the topic, his tone changed, and he asked in a condensed voice: "That's it." A certain hope can send ten Wu County warships to wait by the river to take over the more than 100 brothers of our army who have come to Xingba's mansion as guests, I wonder if Xingba may not be suspicious? ”

"What? Why is that? Gan Ning asked in surprise. It's not that Gan Ning is worried that Qin Xu will take this opportunity to have any conspiracy. After all, now that he is in someone's barracks, if Qin Xu really has any bad intentions for himself. Without spending so much strength at all, with only fifty axes, even if he and the others have three heads and six arms, it will be extremely difficult to escape the doom if they are unprepared. And those who stayed behind*, to put it mildly, without the leadership of Gan Ning, the leader of the Jinfan thieves, at best, they were just a group of brave rabble, and they didn't even need to be exterminated by Qin Xu or Liu Biao, and they would be scattered in a hurry after three or five days. Therefore, Gan Ning was not worried about what Qin Xu would do if he wanted to send a ship to meet him. But it was only after figuring out this that Gan Ning suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Ten warships, in addition to the necessary auxiliary soldiers, there are at least more than 1,500 sergeants to carry, is it possible that Qin Xu wants to go against the current and sneak attack Liu Biao's nest? It's impossible to think about it, in Liu Biao's hands, at this moment, there are enough 20,000 sailors guarding the two key counties of Xiangyang and Jiangxia, and with 1,500 recruits to deal with 20,000 elites, isn't it self-defeating?

"Xingba, don't ask more." Qin Xu shook his head, chuckled and said: "Don't be afraid of Xingba's jokes, this condition is actually the general of our army's left army division this time, Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao asked Qin to be sure to put it forward to Xingba when he came yesterday night." Speaking of filial piety, but I have admired Xingba for a long time! A dedicated person who can be so dedicated to Fengxiao, since a certain acquaintance with Fengxiao, Xingba you are still the first! ”

"Ah...... This one! The general of the left army division is in love by mistake! Since this is the case, it is according to Qin! "What does Guo Jia mean, Gan Ning doesn't believe that Qin Xu will not know. But Qin Xu didn't say anything, and seeing that he really couldn't ask why, Gan Ning simply responded.

Gan Ning really didn't expect it. Originally, I thought that Guo Jia would have some kind of calculation and Liu Biao's plan, so he would put forward such an unpredictable request from the editor. But he didn't expect that after what he experienced with Su Fei, it would become a "life-saving straw" for himself and others.

Isn't it Qin Xu and Guo Jia, who already knew that Huang Zu would make a move on him this time? According to what Su Fei said just now, even the person concerned, Su Fei himself, was provoked by Gan Ning's unintentional words, and realized Huang Zu's true intentions and sinister intentions. Aren't these two people capable of ghosts and gods?

Still is...... Qin Xu, who has never been defeated, and Guo Jia, who is rumored to be a genius in the world, can really anticipate the enemy's opportunity, or rather...... Is there a last resort?! …… (To be continued)
