"Ah Feng, I have to work hard for you to help me train the army, you can't help my brother." Liu Qi was overjoyed when he saw Xu Shu agree, and turned to Liu Feng with a smile and begged.

When Liu Qi turned around, Xu Shu's eyes narrowed and he glanced at him. Liu Feng was basically convinced that this farce of the mutiny was Xu Shu's plan, knowing this, but he had to accompany him to continue acting.

"The last time Nagasaka Slope was my first time on the battlefield, and I lost so badly, brother, you asked me to help you train, so I'm not afraid that I will get worse and worse the more I train." Liu Feng laughed at himself.

Liu Qi laughed, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be modest, just now you were in such a chaotic situation, you were able to keep calm and easily calm down the chaos, just by virtue of this, my brother will be a hundred at ease with you." ”

"Eldest prince, how did you quell the rebellion, but I really want to know?" It seems that because of his carefully planned strategy, Liu Feng understated it, and Xu Shu showed a strong interest in it.

didn't wait for Liu Feng to be modest, his brother rushed to tell Liu Feng what he had done.

Xu Shu, who listened with his ears, stroked his sparse beard with his hand, smiled slightly and nodded: "The eldest prince's move is indeed deeply in line with the art of war, if Shu's guess is correct, the eldest prince has not been instructed by a master?" ”

Liu Feng grinned and looked disapproving: "How can there be any master, I just had an idea at the time, and I just bumped into it by mistake." ”

In front of Xu Shu, Liu Feng did not confide in the truth, and did not say that he had read the military book these days as Liu Qi said. There is no other reason, it is nothing more than to keep a low profile, after all, Xu Shu and Liu Qi's identities are very different, and Liu Feng is not willing to show him too much of his talent and ability unless it is absolutely necessary.

"Ah Feng, don't-"

Of course, Liu Qi would not take into account Liu Feng's intentions, and was very "satisfied" with Liu Feng's explanation, and when he was about to say more, Liu Feng hurriedly interrupted him: "Brother, since the mutiny here has been quelled, then Mr. Yuanzhi and I will rush back to our camp outside the city first, I am afraid that the annihilation sent by Cao Thief will cause chaos at both ends." ”

When it came to business, Liu Qi dared to keep them more, so the two said goodbye and left Beiying in a hurry.

As soon as he got out of the camp, Liu Feng glanced at Xu Shu, and the two of them rode quickly, distancing themselves from the subordinates behind, Liu Feng asked with a serious expression: "Sir, you are honest, did you secretly plan the mutiny in Beiying this time?" ”

Xu Shu coughed dryly: "When I was in the tent just now, didn't the eldest prince already guess it." ”

He admitted it.

Xu Shu acted on Liu Bei's orders, his original intention was understandable, and his means were indeed clever, and he quietly let Liu Qi take the initiative to cede military power, his strategy Liu Feng actually admired it, but what annoyed Liu Feng was that he did not inform himself in advance of such a major event.

Liu Feng's expression was flat, and he snorted coldly: "Mr.'s plan is indeed clever, but next time there is such a thing, can you branch me in advance, even if I can't help anything, I won't be as helpful as today, if I accidentally break Mr.'s layout, I can't afford this responsibility." ”

Xu Shu sensed Liu Feng's displeasure, but he still smiled: "The eldest prince doesn't know, before the implementation of the plan, I was going to report to the eldest prince, but I sent people to search all over Xiakou City and couldn't find the son, and I was helpless, so I asked the eldest prince to forgive me." ”

Xu Shu's explanation shocked Liu Feng's heart, and he suddenly remembered that he had been hiding in Liu Qi's courtyard all day today to eat, drink and have fun, and it was no wonder that Xu Shu couldn't find him, so it seemed that this matter was still his own problem.

Liu Feng's displeasure suddenly dissipated, his sword eyebrows stretched out, and he waved his hand and said: "Actually, it's nothing, I'm just afraid that I will miss my father's plan, and how can I blame Mr. Yuanzhi." ”

When Liu Feng showed generosity and senselessness, Xu Shu's eyes suddenly narrowed, and there was a bit of suspicion in his eyes. He pulled his horse close to Liu Feng, stretched out his face, and sniffed vigorously with his tall nose.

"Mr. Yuanzhi, what are you doing? Is your nose uncomfortable? Liu Feng looked dazed.

After taking a few more breaths of air, Xu Shu's expression turned a little secretive, and he laughed dryly: "Childe, if I guessed correctly, Childe has been spending all day drinking with Zide Gongzi." ”

Liu Feng's heart was shocked, and he suddenly remembered the assassination of Liu Qi, since Xu Shu knew what he was doing, could it be that he had already sent someone to secretly follow Liu Qi, could it be that the assassination was really instructed by him?

"Why did you say that, sir?" Liu Feng didn't break it for the time being, and asked calmly.

"When I saw Zide Gongzi, I smelled that he had a strong smell of alcohol, as well as the smell of fat powder, I had heard that he was fond of wine, and now he arrived at the scene with a drunken smell after the mutiny, and most of them went to spend time drinking. And the smell of your body is exactly the same as that of Zide Gongzi, and the two of you are of the same age and have similar tempers, so I dare to have this guess. ”

Xu Shu's observation is really keen, and his analysis is also meticulous and reasonable, which makes Liu Feng undeniable, or rather, Liu Feng doesn't want to deny it at all.

"I still can't hide Mr. Xu's nose, this is good, it's rare that Brother Zide has Yaxing, so I had to have a few drinks with him." Liu Feng calmly admitted the facts, and then changed his tone again: "However, today when I was eating wine with Zide, I bumped into an assassin who wanted to assassinate Zide, and that assassin even had a token engraved with his father's name. ”

Liu Feng did not ask directly, but hinted at it euphemistically.

Xu Shu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Eldest prince, if you think that such a clumsy assassination plan was also arranged by me, then you really underestimate my Xu Shu's resourcefulness." ”

Although Xu Shu was scheming, there was no need to deny it in front of him, Liu Feng's previous worries were completely relieved at this moment, so he smiled and said: "Of course I know that Mr. Yi's strategy is impossible to do such a clumsy plan, but I think that such a low-level discordant plan is unlikely to be instigated by Cao Ying." If not, who wants Zide's life and wants to divorce the relationship between their uncle and nephew? ”

Xu Shu's expression gradually became solemn, and he stroked his beard and said: "Although the eldest prince is Jiangxia Taishou, I think there are not a few people in Jiangxia County who want to submit to Cao Ying. Today's assassination is very likely to be made by those who descended to the Cao faction and wanted to ask Cao Ying for merit and reward. ”

Liu Cover showed a sad face: "Zide's surname is casual, and he usually neglects to guard against his safety, if it is really the Cao faction that wants to kill him, I am only afraid that he can hide this time, but not next time." ”

Xu Shu pondered for a moment: "The banner of Zide Gongzi is very important for the lord to control Jingzhou in the future, before that, he must not die, it seems that in the future, we must secretly strengthen the protection of him." ”

Xu Shu's words Liu Feng's heart froze slightly, and in his tone and words, Liu Qi didn't seem to be a living person at all, just a pawn that could be used.

This indifference suddenly made Liu Feng feel a chill of empathy.
