In the middle of the night, the footsteps of a group of soldiers disturbed the silence of the ancient city of Linzi, and the neighing of horses and the shrill friction of weapons and armor did not mean that something big would happen.

"Bang! Syllable! ”

"Open the door, open the door!"

According to the usual practice, except for the guards at the gate who were Lu Bujun's soldiers, the gates of the small courtyard were all guarded by Yuan Shao's soldiers brought by the trial.

"Mr. Judge, the big thing is not good, the post house is surrounded by the soldiers of the Lu Bu Army?" Before the trial, I looked at the futon, and before the meaningful exclamation ended, I heard the guard guarding the door come to report.

"What? Did he really fall for Qin Xu's plan? Rao is judgment is wisdom and resourcefulness, and he couldn't help but hesitate a little about this sudden situation, and felt a little self-reproach in his heart, how could he believe Qin Xu's words so easily, his face changed several times, he pointed to the futon wrapped in Feng Ji on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Send this to the inner room first, open the door, and I'll go out and have a look." ”

"Your envoy should not panic, our army was only ordered to check the Yellow Turbans and annihilate the details, and please restrain the people of your department to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings." A thin and slender soldier of the Lu Bu Army clasped his fists and said to the judge who came out of the door: "It's just a routine inspection, and I also ask your envoy to cooperate, and I will guarantee that the safety of your envoy's life and property will not be harmed." ”

"This is the post house, we are the envoy of General Yuan of Jizhou, the noble guest of Lu Qingzhou, how can we hide the so-called yellow turban annihilation? It's just a joke, I don't know if this Sima General has a warrant from Lu Qingzhou? If not, don't blame the judge for recovering Lu Qingzhou, saying that his soldiers deliberately provoked a dispute between the two families! The judge asked in a loud voice.

"Please also ask Mr. Shen to calm his anger, we are just a routine inspection, routine ......" Sima Mao frowned when he heard this, a trace of nervousness flashed on his face, and he casually coped with the two sentences of the trial, and deliberately lowered his voice and asked a man who looked like a night patrol soldier beside him: "Do you see clearly?" Is it true that it is gone here? ”

"This, probably, maybe ......" The person who was asked by Sima also seemed to be frightened by the words of the trial, and he couldn't say why.

Although the voice of Sima Mao's conversation between the two was deliberately suppressed, the trial still listened to a rough idea, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he feigned anger: "Since General Sima suspects that the trial is harboring a key criminal, then please come in and search it, but if you don't find it, hum!" ”

"The last general will not dare! The matter started in a hurry, and I ask Mr. Shen for forgiving me for the offense, disturbing Mr. Juan to rest, withdraw! Sima Mao seemed to be frightened by the threat in the interrogator's words, and his hesitant expression turned around his face a few times, and he said in a somewhat panicked voice.

"Mr. Zhen, are these people here for that person?" The guard approached the trial who squinted at Sima Mao and the others to leave, and asked.

"Maybe!" The judge said meaningfully.

"Master Qin, you said that we are in such a hurry to judge and act, will we be suspected by the old fox?" In a corner not far from the post house, Sima Mao, who had just looked serious, was smiling at Qin Xu, who was hiding in the dark, and said the words he had just judged.

"No matter how flawless we are, this old fox won't believe me so easily. Now I can only hope that Feng Ji still has the strength to speak, so even if I doubt it, I have to believe it! Qin Xu looked at the dim light in the post house in the distance and said with a smile.

Qin Xu's expectations were good. For a top strategist like Matchmaking, they are skeptical of anyone and everything. Even if Qin Xu knew some secret things that were difficult for others to know, his suspicion of Qin Xu had never decreased. If it was said that he was suspicious of Qin Xu's motives before the trial, most of them disappeared after seeing Feng Ji, and Sima Mao's timely arrival and whispered conversation with the soldiers on the side greatly reduced the doubts about Qin Xu's "sincerity" in the trial. Feng Ji was an important advisor of Yuan Shao, and he was heavily guarded, if Sima took the pretentious fanfare of the whole city, it would definitely make the trial suspect whether it was a ploy or not, but these people then arrived, which made the development of this matter more in line with the logic of the trial.

"Tell the soldiers, work harder. Make it more presentable, patrol the streets a few times, and say I'll invite everyone to drink. Qin Xu commanded.

"No! Master Qin, just take a look! Sima Mao smiled and agreed.

"Mr. Juan, Feng Ji is awake!" was thinking about whether this would be Qin Xu or Lu Bu's suspicious time, when the guards suddenly came to report.

"Due South! You really have the wind of the righteous of the ancients! There was a misunderstanding between you and me before, but I didn't expect you to think about me everywhere, if you can return to Yuan Gong's command, Feng Ji will definitely look forward to Brother Zhengnan! Feng Ji, who woke up, was very weak, but he still held on to the trial and arched his hand, and said with an emotional look.

"Brother Yuantu, don't be like this, you and I are both under the command of Yuan Gong, even if there is a dispute, it is only a dispute of political opinions, and there is no obstacle to personal relations with you and me. If there is something wrong with the trial, Brother Yuantu will definitely point it out to the younger brother as before! "In the opinion of the trial, Feng Ji was beaten violently, although it was Qin Xu's idea, but with Feng Ji's wisdom and now that he sees the trial, he will definitely think that he is supported by the trial. The judge thought about many kinds of things that Feng Ji would say to himself when he woke up, but he didn't expect that Feng Ji would take the initiative to admit his mistakes and show favor to himself after being beaten.

"Feng Ji is not a lie, don't doubt Zhengnan!" Hearing the insincerity in the judgement's words, Feng Ji smiled bitterly.

"Brother Yuantu is serious, just now the soldiers of the Lu Bu army came, and it seems that they have doubts about the rescue of Brother Yuantu, and the trial is wondering if there are any loopholes." The judge's eyes rolled slightly, and he said with a look of embarrassment.

"Zhengnan is still so cautious. Don't worry, the righteous soldiers you sent made a lot of noise, and killed many of them, which was expected to alarm Lu Bujun. But since they have found someone who is similar to Feng So, then they are just suspicious. Feng Jiqiang said, a little out of breath in just a few words.

"Juan is just a little hesitant, Brother Yuantu is seriously injured, so let's rest more." The judge nodded, no matter what, since Feng Ji had relented and did not mention the beating, there was no need for the judge to forcibly explain.

Killed? And found a stand-in? Qin Xu, this kid is so ruthless! No wonder the elite of the Lu Bu army was trapped in the camp and searched all over the city. The judge instructed his entourage to take good care of Feng Ji, and Qin Xu's figure couldn't help but flash in front of him. It seems that Qin Xu can still believe it for the time being, knowing that this matter is so easy for him, it is better to give this kid a little sweetness first, and let him get Xu You out, and there will not be so many twists and turns.

Linzi City in the night was still chaotic, and it didn't stop until almost dawn, and after getting the news of the guard's reply, the trial was relieved and believed Qin Xu's words a little more. Not long after dawn, the trial received a message from Zang Hong, and sure enough, as he had discussed with Qin Xu before, Lu Bu agreed to meet and negotiate the exchange of the two strategists. The judge couldn't help but sigh secretly that this Qin Xu was able to be so prosperous in Lu Bujun's mix, it was really not like what he thought before, he completely relied on flattery and luck, his ability to do things was really good, and he was greedy and ruthless enough, if he could be an official in Hebei, if he used it well, maybe he could really become a big help for his subordinates.

"Since the Yellow Turban, Dong Zhuo has been in turmoil, and the heroes of the world have risen one after another, seeking to help the way of the Han Dynasty and looking for opportunities to achieve great causes! Today, the Son of Heaven is in the hands of thieves, and the decree is not issued. General Yuan is in Hebei, Lu Wenhou deters Shandong, if we can work together, then the Han family can prosper, and the great cause can be accomplished! After meeting with Lu Bu, he first made a righteous statement, and put on the halo of Kuang Fu Han for the purpose of this purpose.

"I have heard for a long time that there is the style of ancient sages in the south of the trial, and it is really worthy of its name!" Lu Bu was very comfortable when he was judged, smiled heartily, and said: "These few times Bu is busy with military affairs, and he has neglected Gao Shi, so please don't be surprised by Mr. Review." ”

Lian Lian Qian didn't dare to say anything, and vaguely glanced at Qin Xu on Lu Bu's left, and said: "Wen Hou and General Yuan are the same heroes in the world, and the heart of Kuang Fu Han is the same. My lord admires Wen Hou's merits very much, so he plays the Son of Heaven, and seeks the position of Qingzhou pastor for Wen Hou. ”

"Yuan Gong is polite, and Bu even admires Yuan Gong, and he also has the heart to help each other and help the Han family." Lu Bu replied with a smile, this kind of diplomatic rhetoric is also very familiar.

"Wen Hou can say this, I believe that General Yuan will be very happy when he learns about it, and he should introduce Wen Hou as his confidant in the world." The trial matched Lu Bu again, and then changed the conversation, sighed, and said: "It's just that when I was in Huaicheng before, the Black Mountain thieves rioted, and I had two officials in Jizhou, Xu Mou, who had taken refuge in Wen Hou, which really made my lord thank Wen Hou for his kindness and missed the two of them very much. ”

"This ......" Lu Bu groaned, glanced at the gift list presented by the trial, and the greedy fool in his eyes could see it, and laughed: "Yuan Gong Gu misses his subordinates, how can Bu hinder him, Qin Xu, wait a minute, you will hand over Xu You and Feng Ji, who are sheltering in our army, to Mr. Shen." ”

"Lord, there is something that Xu has not had time to tell yet, and please ask the lord to surrender!" Qin Xu suddenly got up and said.

"What does Master Qin mean by this?" Lu Bu's attention was still on the three thousand war horses on the gift list, and he questioned when he heard this.

"Lord, there were yellow turbans in the city last night, and Mr. Fengyuan Tu has ...... Killed! Qin Xu said in a deep voice with a look of pity on his face.

"What?" Lu Bu was surprised, still holding the gift list tightly in his hand, and asked in disbelief, "Is there such a thing?" Why did you report it to me now? ”

"Please condemn the lord!" Gao Shun got up and said: "After our army got the news last night, the whole city of Dasuo was only able to protect Mr. Feng's body from being damaged by the thief, but this thief did not know where to go. ”

"W-what can I do about this?" The meaning of reluctance in Lu Bu's voice was very obvious, and he said to the judge: "Let Mr. Shen laugh, look at this matter......"

"Alas!" The face was full of regret, but it seemed to be forcibly held back, and after a long silence, he finally sighed and said, "It seems that Feng Ji is really ill-fated." But this is also his fate, Wen Hou should not continue to investigate, do not hurt the friendship between your and our armies! Fortunately, Xu Yu was safe and sound, and he also let Shen go back and have an explanation. ”

"It's nature, it's nature! Gao Shun, you quickly send more sergeants to send Xu You to Mr. Xu's post, and be sure to ensure Mr. Xu's safety. Lu Bu hurriedly commanded.

"That being the case, the trial is goodbye, Yuan Gong's mind is already in Dong'e, please Wen Hou send someone to accept, the trial has been here for a long time, and he has to hurry back to return to General Yuan, after receiving Xu You, he will not resign to Wen Hou, and please forgive Wen Hou." The judge glanced at Qin Xu and said to Lu Bu. The trial match really left a hand, and the war horse was not in Gaotang but in Dong'e. If Qin Xu had gotten the news before and hurriedly went to Gaotang, he might have fallen into the trap of trial.

"It's okay, it just so happens that cloth also has something important. Qin Xu, you will bid farewell to Mr. Shen on behalf of Lu later. Lu Bu showed an eagerness to send someone to get Yuan Shao's "heart" and said.

"No!" Qin Xu responded.

Qin Xu got up and went with Gao Shun, and secretly gave Lu Bu a thumbs up before leaving.

Who said that Lu Bu was stupid and rude, this expression and action are in place, he is simply an actor!
