This was the sixth day after leaving Xiangcheng, Xun Kuang felt more and more painful, there were still about five days to go from Wancheng, but he could no longer control the increasingly obvious contradictions in the caravan.

Xu Ji also saw it more and more clearly, the Chen family, the Zhong family, this caravan was in the name of the Xun family, but it was actually the business of the other two families, no wonder Xun Kuang, who was in charge, didn't care. Even Xu Ji smiled and said to Chen Zhi, Xun Kuang may wish that this deal would not be successful, and the dirty things in the private affairs of this wealthy family are really not mentioned.

Of course, Xun Kuang didn't have such dark thoughts, but he definitely didn't want to defend these two families. It is this reason that makes the caravan more and more chaotic, around this transaction that Xu Ji does not know much about, the two clans are almost to the point of meeting each other, if it is not for Xun Kuang's constant pressure, this caravan will not be able to reach Wancheng and be shattered.

Xu Ji was unusually calm in the past two days, Chen Zhi was puzzled, although he didn't ask, but Xu Ji still told Chen Zhi that the actual arrival had not arrived, and the water had been mixed, but it was not yet the time for small fish like them to appear.

Although Chen Zhi knew nothing about it, he didn't know what time Xu Ji was waiting for.

So what is Xu Ji waiting for?

He was waiting for the Chen family to make a move, and from the conversation he heard by chance, it can be seen that the Chen family is very concerned about this matter, I am afraid that it will not take too long for them to get rid of the Zhong family's minds in the caravan, and the rest, to put it bluntly, are also heroic characters, how can they be loyal at all.

Sure enough, finally on the morning of the seventh day, the caravan found a deceased, Xu Ji remembered that his name was Zhong Cheng, and he was at the level of a petty steward. Xun Kuang's already bitter face seemed to be clouded again, Xun Kuang just snorted coldly: "I remember this matter, and I will settle the account when I get to Wancheng, I don't interfere in the affairs of your two clans, but whoever let the caravan have an accident, don't blame me Xun Kuang's subordinates for being ruthless." ”

After that, he stopped looking at the corpse, turned around and left, and the people who stayed in place also looked at each other. Xu Ji also walked back to the carriage, and ordered Chen Zhi: "Uncle Zhi, we have to be more careful from today onwards." ”

Chen Zhi frowned as he looked at the back of Xu Ji entering the carriage, the situation is indeed getting more and more severe, but the past few days have been tight on the outside and loose on the inside, and today's sentence obviously means that something has to change.

Xu Ji thought to himself, since they all used knives to kill people, Xun Kuang let it go, I'm afraid, someone is going to do it to me, right?

It was night, Xu Ji hid in the camp tent early, Chen went to sleep with a pillow sword, fortunately there was nothing to do for the time being, obviously afraid of Xun Kuang's might, perhaps, it was the Zhong family who wanted to kill me? Xu Ji thought of this possibility, the Yingchuan Hao clan is not monolithic, there are always people who do not necessarily want Xu Ji to die, obviously, these two groups of people may not want Xu Ji's life, there may be someone else.

Xu Ji showed a faint sneer again, obviously Zhizhu was in his hands and had a plan.

Nothing happened all night, it seemed to be a false alarm, but obviously it was very necessary, and now Xu Ji had not figured out who in this caravan wanted his own little life, and all the caution before this was essential. Chen Zhi is also becoming more and more handy with this kind of thing, of course, Xu Ji understands that Chen Zhi's ability does not stop here, but now there is not enough space for Chen Zhi to show his full ability.

The caravan set off again, Xu Ji felt the more and more depressed atmosphere, Xun Kuang's brows seemed to be wrinkled deeper, Xu Ji couldn't help but smile a little helplessly, he entered such a game, it seems that he has no ability to change anything, after all, he is a chess piece rather than a chess player, at least for now, Xu Ji knows that he can only follow the layout of the promoter behind the scenes, and it is not easy to keep himself, as for the ability to affect the situation, it is not realistic at present.

After all, it is getting closer and closer to Wancheng, and there will be patrolling defenders from time to time, even if the atmosphere inside the caravan is tense, it is still calm on the surface, but this is just a precursor to the coming of the mountain rain, Xu Ji believes that it will not be long before the contradiction will break out, and the contradiction between the Chen family and the Zhong family may not be put on the table, but in this caravan, I am afraid, it is inevitable that the sword and soldiers will meet each other.

At noon, the caravan stopped again in the scorching sun, and Xu Ji discovered an interesting thing, Xun Kuang's tent was closer to his small tent, but it was only five steps away. Xu Ji smiled inexplicably, this is, Gong Wei? Thinking of this, Xu Ji couldn't help laughing at himself, Xu Ji didn't think about this possibility, but this possibility actually has little significance for the current situation, Xun Kuang's cronies are not manpowered, and he can't completely control the caravan, so Xu Ji doesn't care about Xun Kuang's attitude, Xun Kuang is ordered to protect him, although it is very good, but even if Xun Kuang sits idly by, Xu Ji doesn't care, he and Chen Zhi have a very small goal, and they are like a drop in the ocean in the caravan of hundreds of people, and they can leave if they want, What's more, Xu Ji is not the primary target of these people.

However, many things exceeded Xu Ji's expectations, and Xun Kuang personally went to Xu Ji's camp to look for him. Xu Ji was skeptical about this matter, and he never minded speculating on other people's thoughts with the worst attitude.

As soon as Xun Kuang entered the account, he got straight to the point: "Young Master Xu, Xun Kuang came to confess." ”

Xu Ji was confused, and asked incomprehensibly: "What does Mr. Xun mean by this?" ”

Xun Kuang smiled, but his face was full of helplessness: "Xun Kuang was ordered by the second son to protect Xu Gongzi to go to Jiangxia, and now the caravan is in an eventful autumn, Xun Kuang has taken care of it well, and hopes to forgive his sins." ”

Xu Ji couldn't help frowning, he couldn't tell the truth of Xun Kuang's words for the time being, but this did not prevent him from deducing the reason why Xun Kuang did this.

Seeing that Xu Ji didn't answer, Xun Kuang continued: "Originally, Kuang didn't want Gongzi to set off with the caravan, but the second prince sent a message saying that the situation in Yingchuan had changed greatly, and Gongzi had to leave in advance, so he had to do so. ”

The situation in Yingchuan has changed dramatically? Because he has been in a hurry, Xu Ji is not clear about the general trend in Yingchuan County, so he can only guess according to the previous speculation, but obviously Ji Lu can't catch up with the changes, it seems, much faster than he thought before, Xu Ji felt the pressure of the mountain, he has not left the Yingchuan territory, if he is caught up, most of them will be explained here.

Xun Kuang saw that Xu Ji was contemplative and stopped talking, and Xu Ji asked in a deep voice: "The caravan escort, I'm afraid it's not a serious business." Although the words were in a questioning tone, what Xu Ji said was very affirmative.

"I didn't expect Gongzi to see it, indeed, all the business in this caravan is blade iron armor, in fact, the caravan only needs to go to Wancheng to finish the business, but in order to hide people's eyes, it will also go to Jingzhou to do some business." Xun Kuanghe revealed the essence of the caravan.

Xu Ji has already understood, why are these private soldiers of wealthy families so well-equipped, isn't this how they came? Of course, these things are not allowed by the government, in fact, the number of private soldiers is limited, to put it bluntly, what the government can sell you is a limited number of weapons, not new, most of them are products eliminated by the army, of course, these families will not be satisfied with these, and will naturally buy these forbidden things privately.

Xu Ji could even guess that in the future, the weapons and armor of the well-equipped so-called "Yellow Turban Warriors" in the Yellow Turban Army came from this way, and it may even be provided by these families.

Xu Ji put aside these chaotic questions and asked: "Mr. Xun is here, presumably not only to solve Wen Lie's doubts, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly." ”

Xun Kuang also bowed his head and said: "Gongzi Xu, Kuang just reminded Gongzi to be careful, in this caravan, the situation is complicated, Kuang is afraid that he can't cover everything, and Gongzi himself must always be careful." ”

"I save it, Wen Lie is not an ignorant Huangkou child, although he is young, but his little life is still very tight, Mr. Don't worry. However, the current situation, I am afraid that it is far more simple than Mr. said, Mr. is the leader on the surface, and it is the target of the public, so we must be careful. ”

Xun Kuang smiled heartily: "Xun Kuang has been conceited for more than ten years, how can this little hundred people stand me?" ”

Xu Ji shook his head and chuckled: "Sir, it's not just the blade that kills, there are many more deadly than the blade." ”

When Xun Kuang heard this, he was stunned, nodded yes, and then turned around and left.

Xu Ji continued to empty in the camp tent, thinking about the next countermeasures, but there were too few hole cards in his hand, and it was almost difficult to find a very appropriate way to solve the current dilemma, and he clarified some irrelevant questions, but there were more puzzles.

Chen Zhi came back at some point, and when he saw Xu Ji's contemplation, he didn't interrupt, and found a place to sit down. After a while, Xu Ji came back to his senses, and when he saw Chen Zhi on the side, he asked, "Uncle Zhi, is there anything wrong?" ”

Chen Zhi shook his head: "I didn't notice it, but I just felt that it seemed that the people on both sides were trying their best to restrain themselves, young master, why are these two clans so-for-tat?" ”

Xu Ji also looked impermanent, scratching his head; "How do I know about Lu Dao, it's just that most of these filths involve some very important interests, I really care about the great sage and good teacher in the mouth of the Chen family, Shu Zhi, do you know Lu Dao Yellow Turban Dao?"

"I've also heard about it in Yingchuan, and I've heard that it's a sect that gives water, cures diseases, saves people, and educates the people, right?"

Xu Ji fell into contemplation again, this game of chess seems to be really big, if Zhang Jiao really started planning so early, then this person's ambition and vision are first-class, deep and terrifying. And Xu Ji was even more puzzled, how could the wealthy family sit back and watch Zhang Jiao become bigger, and even provide weapons and armor for him?

Party Boss? Yes, yes, these clear streams can not be out of the party for the scourge of the party, if you want to break it, you must have a chance in the chaos of the world, they are going to break the boat, if you continue to wait, I am afraid that these clear streams will not turn over again, these wealthy families in the Kanto region can no longer tolerate themselves to stay away from the core of power, and even do not hesitate to break and rebuild.

Xu Ji admired this perseverance and courage very much, but he wondered, aren't these families worried about the situation that the tail is too big to fall? Or do they have a back hand?

Xu Jidie didn't believe that these families had no backhand, it was certain that since they dared to intend to change the day, they must have been well prepared, Xu Jidie would not believe that the Xun family had nothing to do with this matter, perhaps, the mastermind behind the scenes was the elder generation of the Xun family's eight dragons, the old man who was about to die.

Sure enough, people are old and refined, this way, only this kind of person who is about to enter the grave dares to use it, Xu Ji is very curious, why are these Kanto families willing to enter the game with him, or, in this game, he has no intention of letting other families benefit?

Xu Ji figured out this section and suddenly felt enlightened, so it was, so it was, no wonder there were disputes between the families, because their interests were not unified in the first place. The Xun clan is the family that has suffered the most from the party, and they don't care about everything at all.

Xu Ji couldn't help but feel deeply sad for the Xun family, this is the sorrow of the family, the family has a big business, one person suffers, and the whole family suffers!!
