Chapter 562: Loyal and Righteous Tiger Idiot Under Rumors
readx;
No one believes unfounded rumors? Of course not! With Cao Ying's suspicion, even if there are no rumors, he will be suspicious, and now that the rumors are rising, how can he relax his vigilance. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć However, he still doesn't believe in Xu Chu's leak. In his eyes, Xu Chu has always been an honest man in Mune, and it is impossible to do one thing in front of him and one thing behind his back!
"Zhongde, do you think this is really Zhongkang's doing?" Liu Zhang was not bad at all, he not only spread rumors, but also sent the confession and head of Colonel Cao Jun to Cao Ying. Looking at the head and confession in front of him, Cao Ying's heart was cold! If even an honest person like Xu Chu betrayed, who else could he trust?
"Not necessarily!" Cheng Yu still looked so unfazed, he squinted his eyes and said: "Since Zhong Kang led the people to surrender, there have been more than ten generals Xu in the army, especially in the guard camp, there are more than five hundred people from the Xu clan, and many of them can be called General Xu!" ā
"But that day, Xu Chu was indeed outside the tent!" Thinking of Xu Chu's betrayal, Cao Ying was in a cold sweat. In case one day, Xu Chu touched his big tent and killed him with a knife, he didn't even have a place to cry!
"Or, will the lord transfer General Xu away?" Cheng Yu said his suggestion with some hesitation, after all, there is no doubt in employing people, and there is no need for suspicious people, since Xu Chu is suspected by Cao Ying, it is best to transfer him away!
"This..."Cao Ying hesitated again when he heard this, after all, Xu Chu was his favorite general, and he was a little reluctant!
At this moment, the door of the tent was opened, and a big man rushed in, kneeling on the ground with a bang, it was Xu Chu!
"Zhongkang, what's wrong?" Seeing that Xu Chu's eyes were red, bloodshot, his hair was a little unkempt, and the clothes on his body were a little untidy, Cao Ying actually felt a little distressed. "Prime Minister, it's really not me who leaked the secret!" Xu Chu knelt on the ground and touched the ground with his head, Liu Zhangjun's rumors spread throughout the army, and all the soldiers looked at him a little wrong, how could he not panic?
"Zhongkang, no one said that you leaked secrets, please hurry up!" Cao Ying frowned, and he was even more puzzled in his heart, besides Xu Chu, who else could General Xu get such a secret and leak it?
"No!" Xu Chu looked extremely excited, he knelt on the ground and said: "Groundless wind may not be without reason, I know that the prime minister has doubts, since I am no longer appointed by the Cheng Trust, please transfer me out, why don't you let me go to Wancheng!" ā
"What? Zhongkang, what are you doing in Wancheng? Don't you want to defend your true nature? Cao Ying stepped down from his seat, helped Xu Chu up and said: "Back then, you said that you would use your life to protect your true appearance, do you want to break your word, this is not like you!" ā
"Prime Minister, Zhong Kang also wants to protect you, but..."Xu Chu is really aggrieved, he really didn't leak the secret, but the conversation between Cao Ying and Cheng Yu did leak out. Although the rumors were not named, all the evidence pointed to him, leaving him speechless!
"No more nonsense!" Cao Ying patted Xu Chu's shoulder and said; "I believe you are at your disposal, you are not allowed to go anywhere!"
"Thank you for believing in Ren!" Tears welled up in Xu Chu's eyes, he really didn't expect that the suspicious Cao Ying trusted him so much, he knelt on the ground again and said: "Prime Minister, believe it or not, I really didn't leak the secret, if I let me know who leaked your words, I will definitely kill him..."
"Ben believes you!" Cao Ying asked with a smile: "When the original minister and Zhongde were talking, who was standing guard with you?" ā
"This..."Xu Chu thought for a while and said, "It should be Ergouzi, he is also my clansman, called Xu Li." Could it be that the prime minister doubts him? I'm going to call him!" ā
"Look at this head, do you recognize it!" Cao Ying opened the box sent by Liu Zhang, and a big head appeared in front of Xu Chu!
"It's him, how is he..."Xu Chu looked at it, and was stunned for a moment, the head in the box was not Xu Li, who was it? But he reacted instantly, the two people standing guard that day were him and Xu Li, since Xu Li was the one who sent the letter, the person who instructed it was self-evident! The panicked Xu Chu opened his mouth, not knowing how to justify, and in excitement, he pulled out the ring knife on his waist.
"Zhongkang, what are you doing?" Cheng Yu was shocked when he saw this, and fiercely protected Cao Ying.
"Go away!" Cao Ying pushed Cheng Yu away, he didn't believe that Xu Chu would harm him.
"Master Cheng, don't you believe me? How could I harm my lord! Kneeling on the ground, stroking the ring-headed knife made of fine iron, Xu Chu muttered: "Ever since I followed my eldest brother to fight in the south and the north, I have always kept loyalty in my heart. My eldest brother often taught me to be loyal and to be benevolent and righteous, and I dare not forget it for a day! Since returning to the prime minister, I have regarded the prime minister as the second eldest brother, and I only hope that the prime minister can avenge the eldest brother, and I will have no regrets in this life! But now... Since I have no words to argue, I will prove my innocence with blood..."
"Zhongkang, don't..." I saw Xu Chu's eyes closed, and he swung his knife to his neck, the lightning fast knife made Cheng Yu shocked, but he was a scribe, and it was too late to stop him. However, Cheng Yu couldn't stop it, but Cao Ying had already seen that Xu Chu was going to die, so how could he watch Xu Chu kill himself?
A string of blood dripped on the ground, the pain did not come, Xu Chu only felt that the blade of the knife was blocked, as if it was being held by something, he opened his eyes and looked, and the tears in the tiger's eyes could not be stopped anymore. He quickly let go of the knife, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Prime Minister, why are you doing this?" ā
"Humph!" Cao Ying snorted coldly and threw the knife in his hand to the ground. At the last moment, he grasped the blade with his hand, and the wisp of blood flowed from his palm. Of course, he was on guard, otherwise this knife would have shaved off his palm!
"Prime Minister, are you alright?" After coming back from his stunned eyes and seeing blood flowing out of Cao Ying's palm, Cheng Yu hurriedly ordered someone to call a military doctor.
"It's fine!" Sitting in the handsome seat, while letting the military doctor bandage the wound, while looking at Xu Chu who was kneeling on the ground, Cao Ying didn't say a word.
"Prime Minister, don't get wet these days, and everything else will be fine!" The military doctor looked at Cao Ying, and then at Xu Chu, he didn't dare to say much, after bandaging the wound, he left the big tent with a word!
"Can you endure it!" Cao Ying stood up, put a foot on Xu Chu's body, and said angrily: "Now you have learned to invite each other with death!" ā
"Prime Minister, subordinates..."Xu Chu opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, he was really too impulsive just now. At the same time, he was also moved by Cao Ying's hand to help him block the knife!
"How dare you say it!" kicked it up again, and Cao Ying said angrily: "The true appearance is the unreasonable mediocre master, and you need to die to make your will clear?" Before the matter is clear, you just died like this, didn't you fall for someone else's plan? How could Benxiang use such a stupid person as you! ā
"Prime Minister, Wei Yan is my second brother, the person who sent the letter is my own brother, and it is General Xu in the confession. I really don't know how to prove my innocence except to die! "Although he was kicked twice by Cao Ying, as far as Xu Chu's physique is concerned, it will be fine to kick a few more feet! However, grief is greater than heart death, Xu Chu lay motionless on the ground, tears dripped down his face on the ground!
"Zhongkang, why do you need to prove your innocence!" Cao Ying sighed, picked up Xu Chu and said, "What kind of person are you, how can you not know your true appearance?" How did these things come about? Liu Zhang sent it! For the sake of the enemy's gossip, he killed his own cronies and generals, do you think his true appearance is so stupid? ā
"This..."Xu Chu touched his head, he was originally a brave man, and he didn't think about the consequences at all. When Cao Ying said this, he was surprised, happy and angry, but he didn't know how to justify, so he had to stand there awkwardly, eager to find a crack in the ground to get into!
"Forget it! I don't want to blame you, otherwise I won't be angry with you! Cao Ying stretched out his right hand and said, "See, if it wasn't for this hand just now, you would have died!" From today onwards, you are not allowed to die without the order of your true appearance, do you understand? ā
"Yes!" Xu Chu burst out: "From now on, my surname is the prime minister's, and without the prime minister's order, I will never die!" ā
"Alright, get down!" Feeling a burst of pain in his hands, Cao Ying was extremely unhappy in his heart, he hadn't been injured for many years, but he didn't expect to be injured for Xu Chu today. He didn't understand why he used his hands to block the knife. If the knife had been quicker and his palm had been cut off, he would have been crying without tears!
"Prime Minister, you are too good to me, how can I repay you?" Cao Ying's brows were furrowed so obviously, Xu Chu, who was about to leave, naturally saw it, and he couldn't help but kneel down again.
"Don't look for trouble for your own appearance, even if you repay your appearance!" Cao Ying said angrily: "Pay attention to the movement in the guard camp, I don't want any more secrets to leak!" Let's go out and stand guard! ā
"Yes!" Xu Chu turned around and walked out of the big tent, this time, he did not stand close to the tent as before, but walked a few steps forward until he could no longer hear the words in the big tent, and the soldiers on the other side also stayed away from the tent like him. No one wants to be treated as an internal annihilation!
After Xu Chu went out, Cao Ying glanced outside the tent, and saw that the guards outside the door were standing far away, and he shouldn't be able to hear himself, so he asked Cheng Yu: "Zhongde, do you think Zhongkang is true or false?" ā
"It shouldn't be fake!" Cheng Yu said: "If even Zhongkang has learned to act, it will be too fake!" ā
"yes!" Cao Ying sighed: "Do you know, if the hand that is not the original appearance is retracted, half of the palm will be gone!" This kid is too dead-eyed, if he can play the play to this extent, it will be terrible! ā
"Prime Minister, it seems that this matter should not be done by Zhong Kang, what should we do?" A cold light flashed in Cheng Yu's eyes, as long as anyone who wanted to destroy Cao Ying's big affairs was his enemy, he would never let it go easily!
"Check!" Cao Ying said in a deep voice: "Wei Yan's hand has already reached the guard camp, which makes the prime minister have to be vigilant. You must know that the Guards Battalion is responsible for protecting the safety of the Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister doesn't want a knife to suddenly appear behind him! The news must have been spread by someone, but it is not ruled out that it is Zhong Kang's possible surname, you have to check it carefully, and try not to indulge it in vain! ā
"Prime Minister, this is not like you!" Looking at Cao Ying, who was full of entanglement, Cheng Yu had mixed feelings in his heart, the world said that Cao Ying was a hero and a thief, but he also knew that he also had a soft heart! For a while, Cheng Yu was distracted, he remembered a lot of things, and the most unforgettable thing for him was to come to Ying'er!
I think that back then, Cao Ying's favorite woman came to Ying'er, because of his neglect, she actually got along with his guards. It's a man who can't stand being a cuckold, and everyone persuaded Cao Ying to kill the guards and Lai Ying'er, but Cao Ying actually let Lai Ying'er and the guards go, on the grounds that the guards had saved his life, and he couldn't bear to kill them! It can be seen that Cao Ying is not a wicked person who loves to kill, he also cherishes his feelings, but his feelings are rarely revealed!
"Zhongde, what else can I do besides this? Could it be that he killed Zhong Kang, or slaughtered all the guards battalion? Cao Ying shook his head and said, "Although he is not a good person, he can't do it!" How many times have the brothers of the guard battalion saved Benxiang, and Zhongkang even guarded Benxiang in the midst of thousands of troops to ensure Benxiang's safety, and let Benxiang kill them, wouldn't it be a suicide for Benxiang? ā
"Prime Minister is benevolent and wise, admire it!" Cheng Yu smiled: "You don't have to worry too much, there are black sheep everywhere, I will definitely be able to find out the internal annihilation in the guard camp!" However, before the internal annihilation is found out, you can order someone to pull the guard battalion out for training. Let Xu Yi lead the team and bring all the Xu clan people out, and let's put some fake news to see who among those Xu clan people has more frequent activities, who may be annihilated! ā
"Just do as you want!" Cao Ying nodded, he felt that Cheng Yu's method was good, so he called Xu Yi and arranged the task. Xu Yi also heard the rumors, and he would not oppose Cao Ying's opinion, and the people surnamed Xu in the entire guard camp, Cao Ying only left Xu Chu!
"Report..."Xu Yi just retreated, Cheng Yu was also about to leave, and a small school rushed into the big tent and said: "Prime Minister, Wancheng has another performance!" ā
"Bring it!" As soon as Cao Ying stretched out his hand, the little colonel hurriedly presented the song, and it turned out that it was Sima Yi who reported the rumors. After reading the recital carefully, Cao Ying suddenly laughed out loud, and the laughter almost penetrated the entire Cao Ying!
"Prime Minister, why are you so happy?" Seeing that Cao Yingyu was exhausted, Cheng Yu couldn't help but feel a little strange!
Waving his hand to let the little colonel retreat, Cao Ying said: "Zhongde, now I am sure that Zhong Kang is not the one who leaked the news!" ā
"Oh?" Cheng Yu asked, "Why did the prime minister say that?" ā
"Look!" Handing the song to Cheng Yu, Cao Ying sneered: "Whether Sima Yi admits that Xu Chu is the one who leaked the secret, or denies it, he wants to cover it up. But he implied that Xu Chu was Wei Yan's brother, which was not credible! He wanted to alienate Xu Chu so that he could be enveloped. This shows that Xu Chu is not his person! ā
"Sure enough!" Cheng Yu nodded and said, "Since it's not about Zhongkang's business, it's much easier to do, and the subordinates will definitely find out that person!" ā
"That's great!" Cao Ying's eyes showed a cold light, and he gritted his teeth and said: "When that person is caught, he will definitely be broken into thousands of pieces to vent his hatred!" ā
