Jia Xu returned to his tent, his brows furrowed slightly, and he suddenly remembered something.

"It's been two or three days, if Hu Chi'er is ordered, he should kill Zhang Baiqi and report it. But why is there no news at this time? Could it be that the secret letter was not delivered to Hu Che'er, or did Hu Chi'er still not act when he got the secret letter? Or ......"

In Jia Xu's heart, a bad thought suddenly came up.

Tianwangzhai has a population of tens of thousands, although this group of people is just a group of bandits in the final analysis, and it is definitely not a big deal. But in Jia Xu's view, it is different, as long as it threatens the existence of the Xiliang Army, it must be eliminated. What's more, the elimination of their crowds not only eliminates their hidden dangers, but also allows them to be used for their own use, so why not? It is true that this act was originally a gamble, if you can support the puppet of Wang Gu in one fell swoop, it will be half the battle, and if it fails, then things will definitely be in trouble.

So when he suddenly thought of this, he couldn't help but feel anxious, and he thought that there would be no problems during this period, right? Thinking that if Zhang Baiqi was allowed to escape, with Zhang Baiqi's influence, I was afraid that Wang would be far behind, and then the bamboo basket would be empty.

Jia Xu's heart just moved, and he was about to turn around, but Zhang Xiu outside the tent asked to see him.

"Come in!"

As soon as Zhang Xiu came in, he saw him glance at Jia Xu anxiously, and said, "Mr. Jia, there is something wrong with embroidery. ”

Jia Xu sat on the seat, glanced at Zhang Xiu, brushed his beard and said: "The general doesn't know something, but because of Dong Yue?" ”

Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "Yes!" I think Dong Yue is also from Xiliang, and he is the same as me in his hometown, so it's just that he is not welcome to vote, how can he still trick him into the account and kill him? ”

Jia Xu twisted his beard with two fingers, was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "Then let me ask General Zhang, you may persuade General Niu to change his mind?" ”

Zhang Xiu was slightly stunned and said: "I'm an outsider who speaks softly, where is General Niu willing to listen to what I say?" However, if Mr. Jia could persuade him at that time, maybe he would ......" Before Zhang Xiu finished speaking, Jia Xu already shook his head and said with a smile: "In the face of life and death, the general is an outsider, so why not?" He may not listen to what I say. Since you understand this truth, why bother to bother with that tongue? ”

"But ......"

Zhang Xiu didn't dare to persuade that day, in addition to being an outsider, of course, it was more because he almost died under Niu Fudao before this, thinking that if Jia Xu hadn't opened the joint and bought the person who had been bored, otherwise he would probably have lost his life because of a hexagram.

Jia Xu didn't wait for Zhang Xiu to finish speaking, he shook his head and said, "So, since you can't persuade you, it's better to take a step back and think about it." If 'persuading life' doesn't work, then simply 'persuading death'. ”

"Persuade death?"

Zhang Xiu was shocked, it was obviously daytime, how could he feel a gust of wind behind him?

Jia Xu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Yes, it's 'persuasion to death'!" It is difficult to 'persuade life', but it is easy to 'persuade death'. Since Xu knew that General Niu had made up his mind and had to kill Dong Yue, why did Xu need to persuade him? At this time, we might as well change our minds, follow his wishes, and listen to him kill Dong Yue. In this way, not only is it in line with General Niu's intentions, but also after booby-trapping him, he can also be greedy for his army, and the people and horses he brought are incorporated to strengthen his own power, so why not? ”

Zhang Xiu's eyes lit up, it turned out that he was fighting this idea, and it was really vicious. Thinking about it, I was afraid that there was a deeper meaning, but he didn't say it. After all, Niu Fu is only the general of Zhonglang, and Dong Yue is also a Zhonglang general, if Niu Fu is surrendered to Dong Yue, who should he listen to in the future? Thinking about it, Niu Fu didn't necessarily have this idea when he killed him, but he simply killed him out of fear, but Jia Xu was not, he must have thought about it more.

Zhang Xiu's eyes darkened when he thought of this. Come to think of it, Jia Xu will kill Dong Yue for Niu Fu, will the general kill him for Niu Fu? But fortunately, he is far from having influence in the Niu Fu army, and he can't shake Niu Fu at all, which is why he is not afraid of him, right?

Jia Xu saw that Zhang Xiu was suddenly speechless, so he stared at him twice, as if he wanted to penetrate. He suddenly laughed and said: "However, I think that you and Dong Yue don't have any friendship with the general, and the reason why you are so indignant to come to find a theory, the general, is probably because you and Dong Yue's identities are the same, and you two are also embarrassed and voted for the general, and Dong Yue's death probably makes you feel a kind of 'rabbit dead fox sorrow', right?" ”

Zhang Xiu was shocked and glanced at Jia Xu in shock.

As Jia Xu said, he really has no relationship with Dong Yue, and even said that he is only famous and does not meet. However, in his capacity to defect to Niu Fu at this time, for the same person who is ready to defect to Niu Fu, he is naturally 'of the same kind'. And Dong Yue's death not only made him 'sad for the rabbit to die and the fox', but also made him feel the embarrassment of his own identity. Because of embarrassment and fear, he was afraid that Dong Yue was a lesson from his past, and he could be killed by Niu Fu at any time.

Dong Yue's death made him restless, it was impossible to escape, and it was not what he wanted to just wait to be killed. After thinking about it, he finally decided to ask Jia Xu for advice, he believed that since Jia Xu had taken him in and had designed to relieve him of the siege, then there must be a way to 'teach him' again.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiu suddenly bowed to Jia Xu, tears flowed down, and said: "Sir, now the situation is dark and unclear, the future is unpredictable, embroidery does not know whether there is tomorrow to survive today, embroidery is afraid all day." Embroidery is not a person who is afraid of death, but my uncle's revenge has not been avenged, and embroidery can't die, so please teach me sir! ”

Jia Xu suddenly saw his move, where could he still sit still, quickly got up, put his hands on Zhang Xiu's two arms, and said, "Why should the general be like this? It really brackets me! ”

"Sir!"

This 'sir' shouted really powerfully, and it was with tears, and Jia Xu, who was a scheming man, was also shocked when he heard it, and sighed softly: "That's it!" There's nothing to teach you, you just have to remember to do your duty! Just like Dong Yue's case, it's good that you can be sensitive to danger, but sometimes you still need to 'turn a blind eye', have you ever understood? ”

Although Zhang Xiu served in his uncle's army for several years, he was still young after all, and there were still many places to be honed. He listened to Jia Xu's words at this time, and he also seemed to have an understanding. Is his 'turning a blind eye' telling him to learn to forbear?

Forbearance is also a kind of learning, right? Thinking about this eventful season, even an invincible figure like Dong Zhuo could be killed, what else could not happen? Did Jia Xu mean to say this to him? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Jia Xu. Jia Xu is unwavering, and he can't see any of his joy, anger and sorrow at all, and he really doesn't know what he's thinking at the moment.

Zhang Xiuyi arched his hand and thanked him, and suddenly remembered something: "Oh, by the way, I heard someone from Chang'an say that the imperial court has sent hundreds of people from Li Su, the commander of the cavalry, to rush to this side of Shaanxi County, somehow?" ”

Jia Xu stroked his beard lightly and said: "As soon as Taishi Dong died, the situation in the imperial court naturally changed greatly, and General Niu, as the son-in-law of Taishi Dong, has tens of thousands of horses in his hands, how can the imperial court sit idly by?" Come to think of it, it's time for them to come over too. ”

"But ......"

Zhang Xiu's brows were slightly stunned, and then he said worriedly: "But, Mr. Jia, can you guess whether Li Su's trip is a blessing or a curse for General Niu and my Xiliang?" ”

Jia Xu smiled: "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, all we can do now is just one word, 'wait'." ”

"Is there only one word 'wait'?"

Zhang Xiu muttered, but Jia Xu didn't pay attention to him. He thought about it carefully, and couldn't help but be secretly shocked in his heart: "Li Su and others came this time, most of them are more than lucky." Thinking that Niu Fu is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law after all, even if the imperial court can be merciful and pardon the Xiliang people, I am afraid that Dong Zhuo's son-in-law may not be willing to let go. And I am in the Niu Auxiliary Army, if I can't think about getting out early, I'm afraid that what I'm waiting for is the word 'death'. Even if, in the end, the Xiliang people had to meet with the swords and soldiers of the imperial court, and Niu Fu moved for me and fought with the imperial court. However, with Niu Fu's weak and suspicious personality, not only will he not be able to achieve great things in the future, but he may even have to take this small life. ”

Jia Xu twisted his beard with his hands, but the poor beard was accidentally broken by him.

"Phew!" Jia Xu only felt a pain, and then realized the extra broken beard between his fingers.

"Are you alright, sir?"

Suddenly seeing Zhang Xiu coming forward with concern, Jia Xu shook his head and said, "It's okay." But at the same time, his eyes fell on Zhang Xiu. As if he had found a treasure, Jia Xu's eyes lit up, and he secretly exclaimed in his heart: "Providence!" Providence! ”

……

……

"Whew! What's wrong with me? ”

One dream after another passed, Gao Shun suddenly opened his eyes, and his body sat upright. There was a tearing pain in his chest because of this violent movement, and only then did he realize that there was a trace of blood on his white corset. He snorted softly in pain, and his head turned around before he remembered something.

"Someone! Come! ”

He lifted the quilt in a panic, and someone opened the door and walked in.

"Ha, Brother Gao, are you finally awake? However, the wound is healing, but don't move. Ah, there's blood on your clothes, isn't it ......?"

Gao Shun lifted the quilt, and his mind was all clear, remembering that he had returned to the foot of the green forest mountain, but he was in a coma because of the trauma. He quickly interrupted the man and asked, "Don't worry about anything else, let me ask you, how long have I been asleep?" ”

"Two days and three nights."

"What!"

Gao Shun's heart was shocked, how is this good, he agreed to move people to see Chen Nuo after he came back, how could he delay for two days in vain? Gao Shun was deeply ashamed of his dishonesty and quickly waved his hand and said, "Quick, take me to see the master." ”

"This ......"

The person who took care of Gao Shun saw that Gao Shun's wound was cracked again, and he was willing to let him stay. But before he could say no, there was a sound of footsteps outside the house, and in a blink of an eye, one person had already arrived outside the door. I heard the man say, "No need to scream, I'm coming!" As soon as he came in, he let the left and right people go down, he walked to the couch, pulled the quilt for Gao Shun, and said: "Brother Gao, you see that you are injured like this, how can you stay easily, you want to see the little brother, just let someone summon you." ”

Gao Shun glanced at the man and said, "Where is the master, you are the head of my Green Forest Village, how can I summon it easily?" Besides, you are the boss after all, so you should call me by my real name, as for the three words Brother Gao, I really dare not take it. ”

The head immediately shook his head and said: "Brother Gao, where are you talking about this, when I thought that when my little brother and I were in trouble, this little life of mine was saved by you Big Brother Gao, what happened to the little brother calling you Brother Gao?" Come to think of it, I asked Brother Gao to be the master of this house, but you don't want to, and you have to make a living by hunting, and you don't want to do this business of cutting paths in the green forest, Brother Gao, why are you doing this? If it weren't for the eldest brother, you would go out to fight this Laoshizi prey, why would you let Brother Gao suffer such a hardship today? ”

"Brother Gao, you listen to the advice of the younger brother, in the future, although you stay in the mountain, don't go anywhere, even if you don't want to go down to this mountain, brother, I can't afford to support you? If you agree, Brother Gao, let's settle this matter today, what do you think, Brother Gao? Hey, look at Brother Gao, you have a bitter face, what does this mean, is it true that Brother Gao, you are in the green forest, but you look down on me, a hero in the green forest? ”

Lei Heng roared with a broken voice, even if he was so close to Gao Shun, he refused to be quieter easily. This is Lei Heng's personality, and he Gao Shun has long been accustomed to it. When he heard Lei Heng say this at this time, he quickly shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Of course not!" ”

"Not? That's right, we're done! ”

After Lei Heng finished speaking, he didn't care about Gao Shun, he was about to stand up. But Gao Shun hurriedly said: "But, listen to me, I am afraid that this matter will not work, even if I Gao Shun can't be in the green forest for long......"

"What?"

Lei Heng was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Why is this?" ”

"This matter is a long story, anyway, you just need to understand that Shun is now an official person."

As soon as Gao Shun said this, Lei Heng was even more confused, and he looked together: "So, Brother Gao, you have voted for Xiliang now?" Hey, that's it, anyway, I know that Brother Gao, your ambition is not in the Green Forest, Brother Gao, you will have to separate from my Green Forest sooner or later, I don't blame Brother Gao. Without waiting for Gao Shun to argue, he suddenly remembered something again, and said: "By the way, I remember that Brother Gao brought more than a dozen brothers with him when he went out last time, why did you come back alone, Brother Gao?" And with such a serious injury, what the hell is going on? Who wants to harm Brother Gao, Brother Gao, come on, I'll go and twist that guy's head for Brother Gao! ”

Speaking of this, Gao Shun's expression darkened, and he simply told him about meeting Xiliang that day.

"What, Xiliangren? You've also encountered it? ”

When Lei Heng said this, his heart also sank. That Gao Shun looked at his color, put himself in danger again, and was finally rescued by Chen Nuo and his party, and Lei Heng realized that he was going to vote for the Kwantung Front. Gao Shun thought for a while, and then asked: "The matter of Xiliang people suddenly entering Tianwang Village, didn't you have any news before that?" ”

Lei Heng heard him ask and said, "How can there be no news?" ”

Gao Shun was slightly stunned: "Then why didn't you tell me this before?" ”

Lei Heng heard it and said, "Tell you? How did I know that Brother Gao, you are interested in this? ”

He was right, Gao Shun raised his eyebrows, and then asked: "So, you should also know what happened in Tianwangzhai?" ”

"Yes! How not to know? Even before that, Tianwangzhai also sent someone to send an invitation, wanting me to go to Tianwangzhai to drink a glass of water and wine and 'watch the ceremony' for him. ”

"Is that the case? But you are still in the village now, are you going to give him this face? ”

"Face?"

When Lei Heng heard this, he laughed, shook his head and said, "What is the reason why he is the king, and he also needs me Lei Heng to give him this face?" ”

It doesn't matter if he doesn't go, at least he won't be implicated. Gao Shun exhaled lightly, and before he could speak, he heard Lei Heng continue, "However, I didn't go, my eldest brother went to Tianwang Village for me, I'm afraid it's almost there at this moment, right?" ”

"Big brother?"

Gao Shun was a little puzzled, and he couldn't remember that he still had a big brother. Seeing his puzzled eyes, Lei Heng immediately shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said, "I forgot to tell Brother Gao, my eldest brother's name is Lei Gong, but he is my own brother." It's just that he has always been a commander under Zhang Yan in Montenegro, and I haven't seen him for many years, and I think he almost forgot that I have such an elder brother. No, he crossed the river from Montenegro this time, and he was ordered by the Montenegrin Advocacy Yan Dashuai to come to my Hongnong Eighteen Villages, as well as the surrounding villages to pass on the Montenegrin order. ”

"Black Mountain Order?"

What bullshit, Gao Shun was a little puzzled.

Na Lei smiled and said: "To put it simply, this Black Mountain Order is an iron card, but as long as anyone takes over this iron card, it will belong to the Black Mountain Division from now on and serve Zhang Yan." Hehe, speaking of which, I forgot to tell Brother Gao about this matter, from now on, my Green Forest Village also belongs to the Black Mountain Department. ”

"You also took this token?"

Gao Shun asked, that is, he reacted, it was his brother who wanted to come to pass on the Black Mountain Order, could he not listen to his brother? just thought of one thing, and then asked: "In this way, your brother went to Tianwangzhai for you, and he went on your behalf is one of them, the real purpose is to prepare to pass on the Black Mountain Order, right?" ”

"Of course!"

Lei Heng smiled: "I want to come to Wang Gu to take over Tianwang Village, invite Hongnong Eighteen Villages and Guanzhong heroes from the nearby hills, everyone gathers together, what a rare opportunity this is?" My eldest brother went over at this time, not only ran this trip for my Green Forest Village, but also took this opportunity to pass on the Black Mountain Order and other villages, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone? ”

"However, you in charge of the family took this Black Mountain Order after all because of your brother's relationship, and other people, they may not be willing to take this token obediently, right?"

When Lei Heng heard Gao Shun say this, he immediately tore his belly and laughed, and shouted: "They dare not take it!" ”
