Chapter 0126: Borrowing a knife to kill

>,!

Entering the autumn, with the end of the Goguryeo War, but also with the scorching sun gradually away, the weather becomes autumn high and cool, the streets of Luoyang become lively again, at noon on this day, the flow of people in the southern city is weaving, shoulder to shoulder, noisy and abnormal, everywhere you can see the people and the ox carts full of goods. ⊙,

A few people walked around the corner of the mule and horse shop, and there were five or six burly and tall domestic servants surrounded by a slender man, who was about thirty years old, with pale skin, slender eyes, a little puffy face, and a sleepy look, which was Yu Wenshu's eldest son, Yu Wenhua.

Although Yu Wenhua and Zai in the grassland did not complete the task, he was not scolded by his father, Yu Wenshu just asked him to reflect on himself, what did he do not do as well as Zhang Xuan, why did Zhang Xuan succeed, but he ended in failure?

Yu Wenhua only reflected for two days, then resumed his former extravagance, began to join the ranks of looking for flowers and willows, praised Luoyang's famous prostitute Huang Die'er, and put his father's Dundun teachings behind, Yu Wenshu was angry, but helpless, he decided to change the discipline method, and find something to do for Yu Wenhua.

The stench that permeated the mule and horse shop made Yu Wenhua unbearable, and he pinched his nose and scolded, "Are you all blind? Hurry up and find it! ”

The servants looked around, and Xu Yin, who accompanied Yu Wenhua and his staff members who came with him, shook his head secretly, he could feel Yu Wenhua's reluctance, the old general talked with him bitterly for a morning, and he still didn't have the slightest understanding, this Yu Wenhua was really a stubborn fool.

Xu Yin is a native of Yongxian County, Guanzhong, born in a wealthy family, known as a prodigy since childhood, talented, participated in the imperial examination ten years ago, and won the top ten on the top list, but because of his short stature. His appearance was not good, and he was disliked by the officials, and he was an alternate for three years but never had the opportunity to enter the office, which made him disheartened.

It happened that someone introduced him to the general Yuwenshu at this time, and since then he has become Yuwenshu's staff and gradually trusted by Yuwenshu. In the end, he became Yuwenshu's military advisor and strategist.

Xu Yin knew the goal of their trip, and he pointed to a mule and horse shop in front of him that had a deserted business, "That's it!" ”

Yu Wenhua and his spirit were lifted, and he walked quickly to this mule and horse, only to see that the sign said 'Thousand Miles of Mules and Horses', but there were only a few skinny mules in the livestock pen in front of the store, and there was no shadow of the horse, no wonder the business was light, but there was a sign standing at the door. It says 'buy horses at a high price'.

Yu Wenhua frowned, it turned out that this mule and horse shop only accepts but does not sell, no wonder the business is very poor, at this time, a guy ran out of the shop, and asked with a smile on his face: "Do you want to sell horses?" ”

"I'm looking for your shopkeeper to have something, ask him to come out to see me!" Yu Wenhua and his tone were arrogant and disdainful.

The guy was stunned for a moment. Shaking his head, he said: "My shopkeeper is not in Luoyang, you can come back another day!" ”

Yu Wenhua's arrogance made Xu Yin sigh in his heart. Hurriedly took out a greeting post and handed it to the guy, "This is our post!" ”

The guy took the post and glanced at it, was startled, and hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Wait a minute, a few people." I'm going to report to the shopkeeper! ”

He turned around and ran towards the store, and Yu Wenhua scolded in a low voice, "Isn't it not there? It's going to be there again, shame on your face! ”

"Childe, why bother with a subordinate." Xu Yin reminded him.

Yu Wenhua was silent, the reason why he was reluctant. It's not that he really doesn't understand anything, but he is ashamed of the background of this shop, the shop opened by the bandits and thieves, and actually let him Yu Wenhua and bend down to visit, I really don't understand how my father would want to deal with these bandits?

At this time, the guy rushed out and said with a smile: "My shopkeeper has everyone!" ”

Yu Wenhua was furious, he was about to do it, but Xu Yin pulled him, suggesting that he could hold back, Yu Wenhua thought that his father had a request, so he had to hold back his evil anger, and turned around and ordered a few of his subordinates, "You guys are waiting outside!" ”

Yu Wenhua and Xu Yin followed the guy through a dark and narrow aisle, and came to a small courtyard, Xu Yin took the opportunity to whisper to Yu Wenhua: "Don't talk, Childe, I'll deal with everything!" ”

Yu Wenhua snorted lowly, he couldn't ask for it, the guy pushed open the door of a room, bowed down and smiled: "Two please!" ”

The two of them walked into the room one after the other, the room was full of all kinds of miscellaneous items, messy, there were more than thirty saddles of all kinds, piled up in the corner of the wall, and in the pile of miscellaneous things was placed a table, which seemed to have just been tidied up, and all the messy paper, pen and inkstone were swept to the ground by him.

Behind the table sat a man in his thirties, with a green linen cloth on his head, his beard as messy as the room, staring at a pair of red eyes, and a face of flesh, like a shopkeeper who opened a black shop.

"What's the matter with you?"

His eyes widened wider, and his gaze was full of vigilance, which was an extremely rude act, and even the most arrogant shopkeeper would stand up and say hello, as if there were two of his buddies opposite, and it seemed that he did not realize his rudeness in the slightest.

Xu Yin's hand was hidden behind him and waved his hand to Yu Wenhua and quietly, meaning that he should not be angry, this is a rough man and does not understand etiquette, but Yu Wenhua snorted coldly, turned around and walked out.

Walking into the courtyard Yu Wenhua and breathed a long breath, his father was simply crazy, he wanted to deal with this kind of person, he didn't wait for Xu Yin, and walked away.

In the room, the man said with an unhappy face: "Is Yuwen Gongzi so rude?" ”

Xu Yin's face was a little embarrassed, so he had to explain with a dry smile: "General Yuwen does not allow him to participate in this matter, just let him come and see, I just reminded him that he can leave." ”

"He's in a hurry to go to Baihualou to hold that yellow butterfly!" The shopkeeper grinned, revealing a mouthful of big yellow teeth.

Xu Yin was very annoyed in his heart, but he was helpless, people were telling the truth, this Yuwen eldest son! People who are almost forty years old, when will they be able to understand something.

This time, the old general obviously had to bend down and cooperate with the bandits in order to cover up his trip to the Turks, but he didn't appreciate it, he didn't appreciate it at all, and Xu Yin had an indescribable disappointment in his heart.

"What is Mr. Xu looking for me?" The shopkeeper no longer mentioned Yu Culture, and asked directly.

"My master wants to make a deal with you."

"Has General Yuwen also changed his career to open a shop?" The bearded shopkeeper teased and burst out laughing.

Xu Yin was silent, he was extremely dissatisfied with the other party's rudeness, and the shopkeeper did not get a response, so he had to put away his ridicule. Asked, "What do you want to buy?" ”

Xu Yin whispered a few words to him, and the shopkeeper's brows furrowed, "That person is just a small general, what does the dignified general have to do with him?" ”

"Don't ask more about things that have nothing to do with you, I only ask you, do you do it or not?"

"On what terms?" The shopkeeper asked directly.

"Two hundred war horses. Pay half upfront, and pay half more when it's done! ”

The shopkeeper was moved, they were eager to establish cavalry, and the thirst for war horses was simply crazy, so they let themselves open a shop in Luoyang to collect horses, but unfortunately they collected a lot of horses, but there was no real war horse, which made him a little difficult to explain, and now Xu Yin actually proposed the condition of two hundred war horses. How could he not be moved.

He pondered for a moment, "I can't make the decision on this matter, I have to report it first." ”

Xu Yin said coldly: "Time waits for no one, and my master is not used to bargaining with others, so you have to tell you this clearly." ”

"I understand this, and I will give my husband an answer in three days at the latest."

"Well, I'll be back in three days!"

Xu Yin stood up and saluted, turned around and walked away quickly. The shopkeeper was stunned for a while, and suddenly hurriedly took out a pen and paper to write an eagle letter.

Inside the study. Yuwen Shu was half lying on the soft couch, and the two little maids knelt behind him and gently tapped him on the shoulder, and he said in a very slow tone: "I think more and more that the existence of this person is a threat to me, and in less than a year, he has completed the journey of other generals for ten years." If this continues, in another two or three years, he will probably replace me. ”

Xu Yin stood aside with his hands down, looking so thin and small, Yuwen Shu, who hadn't even sat yet, was tall and looked so small. Completely enveloped by Yu Wenshu's aura, he laughed and said: "The general is too exaggerated, he can only be an eagle in the end, and without enough qualifications, it is difficult to get to the level of a general, let alone a general." ”

"I'm just talking, the point is that he knows too much"

Yu Wenshu's words stopped abruptly, and he glanced back at the two little maids, "You guys stand down!" ”

The two little maids hurriedly got up and retreated, and Yu Wenshu continued: "I am old, I may not have a few years, I know very well the hatred he has for me in his heart, if I don't get rid of him as soon as possible, my three sons will die in his hands sooner or later, Mr. Xu, you should know this very well." ”

"Why didn't the old general directly catch him for committing the following crimes and behead him with military law, wouldn't it be faster and more convenient?" Xu Yin asked puzzled, he couldn't figure out this trivial matter, Yuwenshu actually wanted to borrow the hands of the bandits.

Yu Wenshu was silent for a long time, and sighed in a low voice: "Why don't I want to kill him directly, if it was an ordinary general, I would have done it a long time ago, but he is a person from King Yan, I heard that the Holy Lord is going to train him to become the minister of King Yan, let me cast a mouse taboo!" Killing him will only cause my son and family to kill him in the future, and killing him by someone else's hand can clear my relationship. ”

"It turns out that the old general is worried about the three sons!"

"Of course I'm worried about them, my three sons are not very competitive, and my husband should know about it."

Xu Yin sighed in his heart, how could he not know? Yu Wenhua is extravagant, Yuwen Zhiji is short-tempered and simple-minded, Yuwen Shihe is slightly better, but more cowardly, Yuwen Shu is a hero, but he has three such useless sons.

"Old general, there is a sentence I don't know whether to say or not!"

"You've been with me for so many years, is there anything you can't say?" Yu Wenshu said with some displeasure.

Xu Yin hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "The humble post actually wants to talk about the eldest son, the old general should discipline him more!" ”

"What's wrong with him?"

Xu Yin told him about today's life, and finally said helplessly: "The eldest son's pursuit of famous prostitutes has been spread all over the city, and the humble position is very worried about his reputation, if he wants to do great things in the future, such a reputation will not attract real talented people." ”

Yu Wenshu was suddenly furious, slapped the table and ordered: "Someone! ”

Immediately ran in two guards, Yuwen Shu was furious and said: "Go and arrest the eldest prince for me, if he dares to resist, cut off his head for me!" ”

Yuwen Shu was so angry that he coughed violently, and he actually 'poof! He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his eyes were dark, so frightened that Xu Yin hurriedly supported him, "The old general is angry!" The old general is angry! ”

Yu Wenshu slowly came back to his senses, waved his hand to the guard, and ordered with difficulty: "You guys go quickly!" ”

The two guards hesitated, quickly turned around and ran out, Yuwenshu let out a long sigh, and said bitterly to Xu Yin: "I don't care about him anymore about the grassland, he didn't want to repent, and began to be ridiculous again, what kind of evil did I Yuwenshu create, and gave birth to such an ignorant and lascivious son?" ”

Xu Yin's heart was also half cold, Yuwenshu actually vomited blood, so how long can he live? Xu Yin had to worry about his future.

Xu Yin's home is near Xishi, and he lives in a small house covering an area of two acres with his wife and children, and there are several servants in the family.

Xu Yin can't return home until night falls almost every day, and today is no exception, he seems to be a little worried, Yuwenshu actually vomited blood, which really made Xu Yin deeply worried.

If Yuwen Shu passes away, won't he continue to serve the Yuwen brothers? can think of Yu Wenhua and how unbearable he is, what will happen to him?

"Daddy's back!"

A **-year-old lady ran out of the gate and pulled Xu Yin's arm, which is Xu Yin's favorite little daughter.

Xu Yin touched his daughter's head and smiled: "Did you make your mother angry again and ran to ask your father for protection?" ”

"Isn't it? There were guests waiting for Daddy, and I had been waiting for him for a long time, so Grandpa asked me to watch Daddy at the door. ”

Xu Yin was stunned, who is looking for him? He hurriedly walked into the courtyard, and his wife Wang greeted him, pointed to the guest hall, and whispered, "I've been waiting for almost half an hour." ”

Xu Yin nodded, walked into the guest hall quickly, and saw a man sitting on the couch drinking tea slowly, not at all in a hurry.

"May I ask what Brother Tai is?"

"Is it Mr. Xu?" The man stood up and asked with a smile.

"I am, you are" Xu Yin looked at the guest suspiciously, he didn't know this person at all.

"I am just the messenger of the letter, and I am ordered by my master to send a letter to Mr. Xu, and it must be handed over to Mr. Xu himself."

The middle-aged man took out a letter from his arms, presented it to Xu Yin with both hands, and said with a slight smile: "If Mr. has time tonight, my master wants to see Mr." ”

Xu Yin took the letter, glanced at the payment below, and suddenly his face changed greatly, and he was shocked to take a step back. (To be continued......)
