Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Filial Daughter Goes to Prison, and the Poisoner Makes a Bad Move
"Although there is a lot of evidence pointing to Cao Cao, I know that you were not sent by Cao Cao to assassinate me?" Liu Xun's eyes were like electricity, piercing the cold snow of the West Gate.
"Your reaction just now made me even more determined in my judgment."
"Why?" Ximen Lengxue was a little out of breath and couldn't help asking.
"Cao Cao's sword-bearer was assassinated last month, and two famous swords disappeared."
"Although this matter is secret, it cannot be hidden from my ears and eyes."
"The most important point is that although Cao Cao is called a traitor by the world, I know that he is very generous and does not disdain to do this kind of rooster and dog thief."
If Cao Cao heard this, he would definitely sigh that the person who knew him best in the world was his old enemy.
"You think you don't know the ghosts, and since you stepped into this Tianxiang Building, everything about you has been under my control."
"Because, this Tianxiang Building was opened by me Liu Xun at all", Liu Xun said a fact that made Ximen Lengxue even more surprised.
"Ah", Ximen Lengxue couldn't help but scream out of shape.
"You pretend to be bad, but you want to pretend to be a dusty woman."
"At first, you still wanted to sell your art but not your body, but I don't know that Tian Xianglou won't eat your set at all."
"As a last resort, you pretended to take a few guests, and secretly gave them a sum of money to cover up for you, but you were afraid that the matter would be exposed, so you simply killed them."
"Originally, this thing was done neatly, but what you didn't expect was that one of them turned out to be my subordinate general Wang San. It was his death that aroused my suspicions. Others don't know, but I know which one of the best bites this guy has. ”
"I deliberately bent down just now to peep at the spring, just to further confirm whether you are a real dust woman."
"Otherwise, with your little look, where can I arouse my interest."
"You", Ximen was extremely cold and snowy, her chest couldn't help but rise and fall, and Liu Xun's words hurt her self-esteem.
She has always been conceited and beautiful, but she didn't expect Liu Xun to ignore it directly.
Although Liu Xun pointed to her a few big holes, the towering place could still move, and her mouth could still speak.
"Your thighs tucked up confirmed my suspicion, and you disguised yourself as sneaking into Tianxiang Building, most likely for another purpose. Maybe it's just to get close to me and assassinate me. ”
"You're quite alert," Simon sneered.
"My vigilance has always been very high."
"The reason why you chose to start in Tianxiang Lou is probably because you think that I often go in and out of Tianxiang Lou to have fun. Maybe you still want to start in bed, and although you are a little wronged, you have a better chance of success. ”
"Next!"
"Aren't you looking for game", Ximen Lengxue looked incredulous, "Is there really a cat in this world that doesn't steal?" ”
"Even if every cat likes to steal fish, cats who are used to eating seafood shark fin, in the face of those grass carp silver carp, where will they be interested, not to mention that if they don't get it right, the spines of these fish will get stuck in their throats."
"It seems that we miscalculated from the beginning," Ximen Lengxue sighed.
"That's it, I'll recruit it. I am the daughter of Xiliang Ma Teng, Ma Chao's sister Ma Yuan, the reason why I assassinated you is because I am afraid that you will attack Xiliang", Ximen Lengxue looked helpless.
"Nonsense, do you really think that I have today's status because of my ancestors?"
"Why do you think I'm lying?" Ximen Leng Xue was unconvinced.
"Your Huainan accent and your dark flower swordsmanship are passed down by Tong Yuan, a famous Huainan swordsman. However, Tong Yuan is also a famous expert, and he will actually teach you to use Gu poison, which really makes me look a little different. ”
"Who would have thought that General Liu, who is famous all over the world, would also pretend to be poisoned and deceive the little woman?" Simon Leng Xue sneered.
Liu Xun was praised.
"From the above points, it can be concluded that you are inseparable from Huainan Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu openly proclaimed himself emperor and fought against the imperial court, and I already had the heart to get rid of him. I haven't touched him yet, but he came to pluck the feathers on the tiger's head first", Liu Xun snorted.
When Ximen Lengxue heard the word "Yuan Shu", he was shocked and quickly closed his mouth.
Liu Xun could see that her heart was extremely shaken, she was too young.
"Bring it up", Liu Xun shouted.
The door next door opened, and Zhang Xiu walked in with a thin black man.
"Kneel", Zhang Xiu kicked the man to the ground.
"Miss, it's useless to lie, let's recruit them, anyway, they all already know."
"Useless things, they all vomited so quickly", Ximen Leng Xue shouted angrily.
"Don't blame the little ones, the small ones are also trying to survive, and they can't take care of it."
"The two officials spare their lives, the younger one is a subordinate of Yuan Shu in Huainan, surnamed Zhang Mingchao, this is Yuan Shu's eldest daughter Yuan Yingying."
"It's all Yuan Shu who forced me to come, it has nothing to do with the small one, the small one is willing to surrender", Zhang Chao couldn't stop begging for mercy.
"I really can't imagine that you are actually Yuan Shu's daughter? Yuan Shu is really not a thing, he actually let his daughter die, you shouldn't be born by a concubine, right? Liu Xun's face was full of suspicion.
"You were born to a concubine, and I smuggled it out by myself. As a human daughter, you can't share your father's worries, are you still a human being? ”
"In this way, it is reasonable, I can't see that Miss Yuan is actually a filial daughter, Liu Xun is disrespectful."
"Ximen Lengxue, no, Miss Yuan, what else do you have to say", Liu Xun pinched Yuan Yingying's chin and looked at her playfully.
It's a cat-and-mouse expression.
"I admit it, the matter has come to this, I can't go back to the sky, if I want to kill it, let's have a good time", Yuan Yingying said happily.
"Since you like to pretend to be a dusty woman so much, stay here and continue to pretend, you will experience a new life", Liu Xun said evilly.
"Don't, I beg you to kill me", a hint of pleading flashed in Yuan Yingying's eyes.
"Since you don't like this kind of life, why do you come all the way here to experience life, why are you bothering?"
"Forget it, Zhang Xiu, escort Yuan Yingying back to Yizhou Prison, and escort Zhang Chao, who is a traitor to glory, to Dongshi to behead me."
"Little girl, thank you for the kindness of the general", Yuan Yingying breathed a sigh of relief and was relieved.
The dignified daughter of Yuan Shu, if she really became a Qinglou woman, even if she jumped into the Yangtze River, she would not be able to wash away the endless shame.
"The general spares his life, and the younger ones have a father-in-law, two mothers-in-law, three wives, four concubines, five aunts, six sisters-in-law, seven aunts and eight daughters who rely on me to support them", Zhang Chao pleaded without words.
Seeing that Liu Xun was indifferent, Zhang Chao turned to Yuan Yingying to intercede: "Miss, for the sake of my many years of service for Ling Zun, I have no merit and hard work, help me ask the general for a favor and spare my life." ”
Yuan Yingying glanced at this shameless poor creature in disgust, only sighed, and said nothing.
Not long after, a team of soldiers came in and, together with Zhang Xiu, escorted Yuan Yingying and Zhang Chao down.
"Slow, Yuan Yingying, you stop for me."
Yuan Yingying trembled, "This kid seems to have changed his mind, I'm going to fall into the fire pit." ”
Liu Xun walked up to Yuan Yingying and untied the scabbard from her belt, "Now you can go." ”
"Fortunately, a false alarm", Yuan Yingying said secretly, cold sweat flowed down.
After Zhang Xiu escorted Yuan Yingying and the others away, Liu Xun called a maid, "Go, bring me Mother Wang." ”
After a while, Wang's mother trotted all the way to Tingxue Xiaozhu, where Liu Xun was.
Mother Wang is the old bustard of Tianxianglou and the leader of Tianxianglou Fengying, she is shrewd and capable, and the fat on her face is smiling.
"This time, I passed on the information in time and captured Yuan Yingying, the daughter of Yuan Shu, Mother Wang, you can be regarded as having made a contribution", Liu Xun looked at Mother Wang and praised.
"It's all up to the lord to strategize, I don't dare to take credit", Wang's mother said with her head down.
"Very well, you also have to keep an eye on any suspicious people and report them at any time. Tian Xianglou is a place where dragons and snakes are mixed, and it is also the best place to collect information. ”
"The old body understands, so let's go and arrange", Wang's mother bowed and withdrew.
Back in Chengdu Mansion, Liu Xun secretly sent people to check suspicious people.
Sure enough, more than a dozen people who answered Yuan Yingying were arrested.
Liu Xun escorted these people to the east with Zhang Chao and beheaded them, leaving only Yuan Yingying alone.
Because Yuan Yingying is the daughter of Yuan Shu, it can be regarded as an important bargaining chip, maybe it will be useful in the future.
"If Yuan Yingying is used to exchange some territory, Yuan Shu should not disagree."
Calling Jia Xu, Liu Xun put out his plan and asked for his opinion.
"Good plan, this woman, it's useless to kill her, it's better to use her to exchange some territory", Jia Xu fully agreed.
"Then one county, two counties, if Yuan Shu bargains, less is fine, better than nothing", Liu Xundao.
"The lord will send someone to negotiate the terms of exchange with Yuan Shu, even if Yuan Shu doesn't feel sorry for his beloved daughter, for the sake of face, he will agree", Jia Xu said.
"Let's send Zhang Song, he is the best at negotiating this kind of thing", Liu Xun thought of Zhang Song first.
"At this time, Yuan Shu must have regretted that his intestines were green, and he regretted that he should not let his daughter put himself in danger, this incompetent person actually dared to be the emperor and fight against me", Liu Xun said with a smile.
"I have an idea, if Yuan Shu agrees to cancel the title of emperor, the lord can not let him cut the land. In the future, with Yuan Yingying as a hostage, I will ask him to fight for us", Jia Xu is worthy of a poisoner, and every time he comes up with a plan, he is extremely vicious.
"Brother Wenhe really deserves to be my good military advisor", Liu Xun laughed loudly, "Originally, I wanted to send troops to recruit him, but now it seems that there is no need at all." ”
"A soldier who surrenders without a fight, Brother Wen He knows the art of war."
"It all depends on the lord Hongfu, if it weren't for the lord's secret dispatch and quietly capturing Yuan Yingying alive, this strategy would be useless", Jia Xu has always been a low-key person, and he is now trying to praise Liu Xun.
If the master attaches too much importance to himself, although it is a good thing, there is also a danger of high merit and shocking the master.
Most of the powerful ministers of the past dynasties did not end well in the end.
The merit is high and the lord is shocked, but he does not know that he will retire after his success, and when there is no reward for him, the emperor will attack the meritorious heroes.
Jia Xu is a person who knows this well, throughout Jia Xu's life, his wisdom may be slightly worse than Kong Ming, but he is definitely an expert who knows how to keep his light and protect his life.
"Haha, Brother Wenhe is too modest, now Yuan Shu's spies in Chengdu may have been on his way to report to him a long time ago. It is estimated that after Yuan Shu receives the report, he will inevitably be like an ant on a hot pot, so anxious", Liu Xun laughed, young and ambitious, it is inevitable that he will be a little frivolous, which is also human nature.
"There is another plan, Zhang Song went to Huainan to negotiate this time, the lord can garrison troops on the Huainan border, the army is pressing, and Yuan Shu's daughter is in hand, why worry about Yuan Shu not committing it?" Jia Xu pondered for a while, and offered another strategy.
"Well, in this way, Yuan Shu really has no choice. If he dares to disobey, he will let his daughter pick up customers in Tianxiang Building. With Yuan Yingying's talent and family background, if she really sits in Tianxianglou, she will definitely become the Oiran of Tianxianglou, and Yuan Shu's old face will be lost", Liu Xun added with bad intentions.
"This Yuan Yingying's appearance is actually not bad, although it is not as good as Zhen Huan, and compared with Zhuo Sijun and others, it is not inferior at all", Liu Xun said to himself.
"Martial arts supreme, sword slaying dragon. If you don't come out of the sky, who will compete? Liu Xun untied the Heavenly Sword on his waist and played with it.
"Now, the Heavenly Sword is in hand, but where is the Dragon Slaying Knife?" Liu Xun sighed.
The last two sentences, but Jia Xu couldn't understand them.
However, he didn't ask, as an excellent military advisor, a military advisor who knows how to be a man, he knows better how to pretend to be confused at the right time.
Liu Xun used to be a fan of Jin Yong, and he liked to read Jin Yong's novels the most, but he didn't like that Zhang Wuji very much, and he always felt that he was too sloppy.
Since you can take 3,000 weak water, why do you only take one scoop? Isn't that a two-offense?
