Guessing Zhang Rang's thoughts did not make Xu Ji feel at ease, and even became more worried, the reason why Zhang Rang didn't want to help himself was probably because he knew that he would be in a dilemma. Although Xu Ji didn't have a good impression of Liu Hong himself, how could Xu Ji, who was Yining's father, really abandon him? What's more, Zhang Rang almost bluntly told him that he would assassinate Liu Hong, which is undoubtedly equivalent to the loss of identity and status for Xu Ji, and the root of all Xu Ji's current status comes from the identity of the concubine that Liu Hong gave him, and once Liu Hong dies, it will not be beneficial to Xu Ji.

But it is impossible for Xu Ji to stop this, even if there are many inappropriate things in Zhang Rang's move, Xu Ji can't object, this is undoubtedly the best way for him to deal with it, at least he doesn't have to face these tricky situations by himself. The only thing that made Xu Ji uneasy was that Zhang Rang didn't seem to be sure, which meant that Xu Ji was really safe if he didn't have it.

Xu Ji couldn't help but fall into a dilemma, if he wanted to keep his power, he would undoubtedly have to help Zhang Rang, but the risk of doing so was really too great, not to mention Zhang Rang's backhand plan, it would not be easy to just assassinate He Jin, once the matter was revealed, Xu Ji didn't have to think about it, and he knew clearly, not to mention the risks he might face if he participated in Zhang Rang's plot to assassinate Liu Hong.

After leaving Zhang Rang's mansion, Xu Ji not only did not feel relaxed but even more worried, things became more and more difficult to deal with, Xu Ji was now almost unable to have any impact on the situation in Luoyang, and now the power of the game was an unshakable behemoth compared to Xu Ji. Xu Ji didn't say it was an influence, but it was already extremely difficult to protect himself.

After returning to the Zhijin Wu Mansion, Xu Ji locked himself in his room and instructed Wei Yu not to disturb anyone. Xu Ji had to quietly think about where he should go next. It is clear that there are not many choices in front of Xu Ji, but to leave or stay.

Naturally, there are pros and cons to both. But it is all based on a certain premise, and Xu Ji will naturally have to take advantage of Zhang Rang's disturbance of the situation in Luoyang before he has the opportunity to leave, which is really not a very reliable thing. The news from the Hero Building clearly shows that He Jin's defense of his surroundings has been strengthened again, although I don't know if He Jin has realized Zhang Rang's plan, but Xu Ji is not optimistic that Zhang Rang's plan will succeed. He Jin will never be able to retreat without dying, and I am afraid that he will not even be able to touch the gate of Luoyang at that time.

What is left behind is also half of the pros and cons, once He Jin dies, the court will definitely be in chaos, and of course he will be able to achieve considerable benefits in the court with his own identity, but this is an extremely unsafe thing. He Jin's death can indeed temporarily lead to chaos in Luoyang, but will the family behind He Jin easily forget it? This is obviously impossible, and I am afraid that I will take over these troubles at the same time as I get the benefits. More importantly, will Liu Hong sit back and watch himself go down the old path of He Jin? It is not difficult to see from Liu Hong's attitude towards He Jin that Liu Hong simply regards He Jin as a tool, which is still the premise that He Jin himself is useless, if it is himself, I am afraid that Liu Hong will not be able to tolerate himself.

At this time, not only did Zhang Rang help Xu Ji in the matter, but also Xu Ji was in a dilemma when he left or should he stay.

It is indeed not easy to make a trade-off, and for Xu Ji, the current situation is like a pebble before the mountain, and the impact on the situation is indeed very small. But Xu Ji can act as a key to influencing the situation, and there are really too many things for Xu Ji to worry about in such a situation, which makes him physically and mentally exhausted.

A sudden knock on the door interrupted Xu Ji's thoughts, and he had previously instructed Wei Yu's inconsequential personnel not to disturb him. Then knocking on the door this time must not be a trivial matter, but Xu Ji really didn't know what needed to find him for a while.

"Please come in." Hearing the knock on the door again, Xu Ji shouted in a deep voice.

"Squeak" The door was pushed open, and the room Xu Ji was in was reserved for the Zhijinwu Mansion to handle official business and had no time to go home. In fact, it has not been repaired for a long time, so the door looks a little overwhelmed. Stepping through the door was a pair of long black boots. It's quite military, but it's a little more convenient. Xu Ji frowned and looked up, only to see that Shi A had already pushed the door in, and after seeing Xu Ji, he saluted respectfully and said: "Lord Zhijinwu, the grass people Shi A took the liberty to come, and I hope that Lord Shi will forgive your sins." ”

Xu Ji was quite surprised, in fact, since Feng Fang took him to the Hero Building, Xu Ji has never been to the Hero Building, and he has never seen the big shopkeeper of the Hero Building, although there have always been people from the Hero Building who have passed the news to Xu Ji, but it has always been a one-line contact, and the people who come are different every time, and Xu Ji has not delved into the matter.

But what was the purpose of Shia's visit? Xu Ji was suspicious but didn't show it, he smiled and pointed to the chair in the room to signal Shi A to sit down, and then said: "Shopkeeper Shi has always been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and when he came to look for it today, he must have something to do?" ”

After taking his seat, Shi A's expression on Wenyan's face did not change much, but the slight nervous hesitation he hid under the indifferent appearance did not escape Xu Ji's eyes, and it seemed that if Shi A had asked for it, the news that he knew the Tao had a great impact. Thinking of this, Xu Ji no longer tempted: "Shi, let's be straight, now you understand the situation in Luoyang better than me, I don't have time to waste!" ”

And the reason why Xu Ji has such a strong attitude is very simple, Shi A is not from his side, although he has helped Xu Ji a lot, he has also received a lot of benefits from himself, so Xu Ji does not need to treat Shi A like Zhang Rang at all. After Xu Ji finished saying this, Shi Ah finally did not continue his disguise, but said in a low voice: "I got a message from a staff officer in He Jin's mansion today, although I don't know whether it's true or not, but the villain thinks that it may be of some use to adults. ”

Hearing Shi A's words, Xu Ji immediately became interested, although Shi A is a little stubborn and good-looking, but his sleekness is far better than his teacher, and he came here in person today mostly to sell his face. Then it means that Shi Ah must have something for himself. However, Xu Ji didn't show curiosity, but said impatiently: "Oh? Then I have to ask Shopkeeper Shi to talk about it, Xu Wenlie is also very curious about what can make Shopkeeper Shi think that it is so important to me. It even needs to be shopkeeper Shi to come in person. Xu Ji was also deliberately so cynical, to put it bluntly, it was just a reminder of the identities of Shi and A. This is also a foreshadowing in advance, and no matter what Shi A asks for, he will be concerned about this, which is why Xu Ji still has this kind of mind and is still so careful in this little thing.

And Shi A also smiled wryly when he heard this, although he had long known that wanting to take advantage of Xu Ji was tantamount to a fool's dream, but he still had some expectations, and now it seems that he has no chance. Of course, Shi Ah didn't want to come by himself, in fact, in the final analysis, the Hero Building is not his Shi A's thing, and the Hero Building can get to the point where it is now, naturally relying on not only his Shi A's ability alone, otherwise in this chaotic place like Luoyang, he can make such a big scene? In the final analysis, the hero building is still Liu Hong supporting Shi A behind his back. In this way, Xu Ji can really not mind these at all.

Shi A naturally doesn't have a temper at all, Xu Ji has the capital to treat him with this attitude, speaking of which, Xu Ji can be regarded as half of his master, Shi A can only accept Xu Ji's attitude: "The general seems to have the intention of letting Zhang do something to his party friends, and the adults may understand the meaning." Xu Ji was immediately happy when he heard this, this Zhang Rang and He Jin were really fatalistic opponents, this Zhang Rang wanted to attack He Jin, and He Jin also had thoughts about Zhang Rang at the same time.

But this is indeed a noteworthy thing for Xu Ji, and it may not be a day or two for He Jin to solve the long-standing trouble of the Ten Standing Servants. It may not be He Jin's original intention to solve it now, but it is indeed a very good time at this time, Zhang Rang is a eunuch after all, and Liu Hong naturally cannot turn his face with He Jin for Zhang Rang. And where can Liu Hong, the family behind He Jin, be at ease?

But after knowing this, Xu Ji had a headache, He Jin's plan Xu Ji naturally didn't need to think about it, but He Jin's plan to do something to Zhang Rang was obviously against Xu Ji's plan. Once Zhang Rang died, all of Xu Ji's plans would be completely empty, how could this be something Xu Ji was willing to see?

It's just that despite this, Xu Ji can't do much. In the end, it is weak, but now it is impossible for Xu Ji to stay out of the matter. Now Xu Ji can't think about his own standing in line, once Zhang Rang can't successfully implement his plan, then Xu Ji's safety may only depend on He Jin's mood. Xu Ji has never controlled his life in the hands of others, so he is bound to get involved himself.

After signaling Shi A to leave, Xu Ji fell into contemplation again, thinking about intervening in it, which is true, but how to choose is the most troublesome problem, He Jin's precautions are definitely not just for others to see, whether Zhang Rang can succeed is really worrying, but this is not the problem, what Zhang Rang's plan is Xu Ji understands very well, but what Zhang Rang's plan is Xu Ji is not very clear, which will undoubtedly make Xu Ji a little tricky to deal with.

What's more troublesome is that Xu Ji has to face the fact that Zhang Rang is very likely to assassinate Liu Hong, and participating in it will not be beneficial for Xu Ji at all, let alone where He Jin can still let himself live to enjoy his rights and status. At this moment, Dian Wei's voice came from outside the door again: "Lord, lord, I'm back." ”

Xu Ji couldn't help but smile bitterly, this fool didn't know how to run to the West Garden and wandered around for so many days, but now he remembered to come back, Xu Ji also got up and walked out of the door, only to see Dian Wei standing outside the door with a happy face, Xu Ji looked at Dian Wei speechlessly, and Dian Wei looked at Xu Ji's face a little strange and asked, "Why is the lord so pale?" Dian Wei really didn't pay attention to the changes in the situation in Luoyang City in the past few days, and these are indeed some complicated things for him, Xu Ji didn't expect this fool who is only suitable for charging into battle to have any mind to think about this, so Xu Ji just shook his head and said: "Junqing, I'm afraid you have to go to Xiyuan, you go and tell Zihe, and say that you should be cautious and prepared in the near future, maybe it will be useful to the trapping camp under his command." ”

Dian Wei could see that Xu Ji didn't have any intention of explaining to him, so he didn't ask any more and left directly. Of course, Xu Ji is not just a pure Dafa Dian Wei, but Xu Ji is indeed worried that he may really use Gao Shun's soldiers, it is difficult to say how the situation in Luoyang City will become, it is really uncertain, Xu Ji must be fully prepared, and more importantly, Xu Ji's real meaning is to Gao Shun to prepare for evacuation. The chaotic situation in Luoyang made Xu Ji really a little uneasy, and it didn't hurt to prepare in advance.

For Xu Ji, the current situation is even more big. He Jin's plan can't be stopped even if he knows Xu Ji, and He Jin must be guarding himself. In this way, Xu Ji has no way to make any moves. But in this way, Xu Ji is equivalent to losing his initiative, and what's worse is that Xu Ji has no chance to take care of more things at this time, and Zhang Rang's actions will definitely not care about himself, such a situation is equivalent to saying that even if Xu Ji plays an important role in it, Xu Ji himself has no way to affect the situation at all.

It's just that Xu Ji is indeed a pivotal existence in Luoyang City, and the dilemma is almost a reality that is difficult to change. This is an extremely bad situation for Xu Ji, but the most troublesome thing is not really what his choice is, but Liu Hong's attitude, which is an extremely stressful thing. Imagine that no matter who lives or dies between Zhang Rang and He Jin, it is still up to Liu Hong to judge after all, and although Xu Ji is so important in Liu Hong's eyes. But for a while, Liu Hong must not be embarrassed by himself, but He Jin will never be like this, so Xu Ji actually has only one choice.

He Jin must disappear, the reason is very simple, only He Jin's disappearance can ensure Xu Ji's temporary safety, once Xu Ji can see the situation clearly after the initial chaos, Xu Ji will have enough time to think about the next step, and now Xu Ji can't make a decision because he really can't see the situation clearly for a while, and the most troublesome problem is that Xu Ji can't see through the current situation, which is not just a small problem. Xu Ji can't figure out the situation, so he can't make a judgment, so Xu Ji can only wait for the situation to develop further.

At this time, He Jin was discussing with Yuan Shao in the mansion how to do something to Zhang Rang, and He Jin had already held a grudge against Zhang Rang for a long time. But the supporters behind him were very opposed to any radical moves between himself and Zhang Rang, and Zhang Rang was also reasonable and didn't make too many moves, but in this way, He Jin naturally couldn't find an excuse to do something to Zhang Rang. This is no longer the case. From the beginning of the struggle for the position of Jin Wu, the clan behind He Jin found that Zhang Rang was already absolutely going to confront him, and in view of this situation, these clans no longer stopped He Jin's selfishness.

Of course, He Jin was not willing to do it himself. If you make a move, you will inevitably have to leave a handle, so it is inevitable that you will lose power. After Liu Hong's attitude towards himself became worse and worse, although He Jin couldn't see Liu Hong's intentions, he already knew that Liu Hong didn't trust him as much as before, so He Jin was even more reluctant to anger Liu Hong.

And for Yuan Shao, He Jin's attitude really made him feel ridiculous, He Jin, a rough man, couldn't see Liu Hong's true attitude towards him, but Yuan Shao saw it clearly, this master thought that he could get any benefits from Liu Hong, but it was a pity that He Jin didn't know that Liu Hong was probably already thinking about how to solve He Jin's matter.

However, Yuan Shao, who was once He Jin's staff, had nothing to say, although there was nothing to say to He Jin, but the idea that should be made still had to come out, and Yuan Shao only said this sentence for He Jin's seemingly dilemma: "Why doesn't the general summon someone to come and discuss?" How many righteous people are there in the DPRK and China? Why be so worried? ”

This said to He Jin's heart, in the end, he still wanted to avoid possible infamy on his back, Yuan Shao's words were exactly what he wanted, so he naturally implemented it immediately. But He Jin didn't know that Zhang Rang at this time also summoned the ten permanent servants and began to discuss how to deal with He Jin.

Compared with He Jin's hesitation, Zhang Rang is a very assertive person, not to mention that he has always been the head of the ten permanent servants, even if some people are not convinced, they have no way to question Zhang Rang, this is the embodiment of Zhang Rang's ability. However, there is also controversy within the Ten Standing Servants on the assassination of He Jin, of course, it is inevitable to solve He Jin, but the means are worth discussing.

Of course, assassination is undoubtedly the easiest and most labor-saving method, but this is an extremely unsafe thing, and Zhang Rang has also learned the news transmitted by Xu Ji, and the strengthening of the defense around He Jin will inevitably lead to a great increase in the difficulty of assassination, to be honest, Zhang Rang himself is also against the idea of assassination, and in his opinion, there is undoubtedly a better way to deal with it. 、

At this time, when both sides were plotting each other's lives, Xu Ji had already returned to the mansion, of course, he didn't have much time to accompany Yining, he returned to his mansion just to deal with some things in the mansion, and the most important thing was that he was going to go to the West Garden in person, of course, this needs to be hidden, although Xu Ji is one of the eight captains of the West Garden, but at this time, he is too close to the West Garden, he is afraid that he will attract He Jin's attention, before Zhang Rang makes a move, Xu Ji will definitely not alarm He Jin.

But no one expected what Luoyang would be like in the near future. (To be continued......)
