Liu He was politely invited by Duan Xuan to the corner tower on the gate, so he had to bite the bullet and make a fool of himself, seeing that the sky was getting darker, he also broke off the idea of going out that day, and simply buried his head in eating and drinking.

Duan Xuan is the younger brother of the former Taiwei Duan Cheng, and he is also the great-grandson of Duan Huizong, the capital of the Western Regions, and he is also from a famous family, so he has more respect for Liu He, who is also from a famous family, although he has many questions in his heart, but he did not ask coldly, but tried it as if he was nothing.

Duan Xuan said: "A few days ago, I heard news from Chang'an, saying that Mrs. Liu sent Tian Chou and Xian Yuyin to Beijing to meet the Son of Heaven thousands of miles away, and presented 100 good horses from Youzhou, with 10,000 pieces of silver. Today, the horse that my Gongzi and his entourage are riding does not seem to be produced in Youzhou, but is very similar to the Xiliang horse used by the generals and soldiers of our army? ”

Liu He heard Duan Xuan mention the matter of horses, and his heart suddenly moved, he remembered that Wang Yue had said that the person who intended to assassinate him last night was sent by Li Wei, and in history, Duan Xuan and this Li Wei did not seem to deal with each other very much, and in the end, Li Wei also died at the hands of Duan Wei.

After thinking of this, Liu He weighed his words and said with some grievances: "To be honest, the hundred good horses sent by my father from Youzhou have now been given to Master Dong by the Son of Heaven, and when I left Chang'an, I didn't ride a horse. As for the horses that the general saw, they were stolen last night from a group of strongmen who were intent on attacking me! ”

Although Liu He's words were subtle and vague, they revealed at least three meanings to Duan Xuan.

The first layer: Dong Zhuo is not authentic, and the good horses sent by my Lao Tzu are all black. The so-called Son of Heaven gave it to the Taishi, and everyone understands it......

The second layer: This road is not smooth, and some people want to harm me.

The third layer: Don't look at the small number of people under me, I can still kill all the people who hurt me, and by the way, I will also snatch back twenty good horses!

Duan Xuan showed surprise after hearing this, and said angrily: "What a bold and reckless act, he actually intends to harm the envoy of the Son of Heaven!" Such a despicable and perverse act is really despicable! ”

Jia Xu, who had not spoken much, suddenly said: "This matter is really strange, and there are many suspicious things. If the horse obtained from the son is produced by Xiliang, it is not possible to conclude who wants to plot evil, but if you carefully ponder the intention of this group of strongmen and the timing and place they chose, it is not difficult to guess a rough idea. ”

Jia Xu's words made a lot of sense, but Liu He didn't have a clue after thinking about it for a long time, and he couldn't help but slander in his heart: It's really an old poison, and it's a damn cloud and mountain fog cover to say a few words, which makes Lao Tzu's heart itch.

Duan Xuan frowned and pondered for a moment, but he didn't have a clue, so he said, "Please also ask Brother Wenhe to make it clear!" ”

Jia Xu smiled indifferently, picked up the wine cup and took a sip, and then said unhurriedly: "I thought that this group of strongmen seemed to be coming at Liu Gongzi, but in fact, it was Zhongming you who wanted to deal with it!" ”

"Oh, why?" Duan Xuan's face was surprised.

"Chang'an is nearly 300 miles away from Wuguan, why does this strong man have to wait until the day before Liu Gongzi and his party arrive in Wuguan? Because the location where Liu Gongzi was attacked last night was actually within the jurisdiction of the Wuguan defenders! ”

"If something happens to the envoy of the Son of Heaven in the territory controlled by Zhongming, someone will naturally put the blame on your head in the future, and some people will even frame the angel that you secretly sent someone to harm him, and the purpose of your harm to the angel is because he is worried that the matter of privately befriending Yuan Shu will be exposed!"

When Duan Xuan heard this, his body shook slightly, and his face became ugly.

"What a vicious scheme! This will be stationed in Wuguan, adjacent to Nanyang controlled by Yuan Shu, if someone frames me in front of the Taishi and secretly colludes with Yuan Shu, with the intention of not being good for the Taishi, killing the angel is the best introduction! ”

Although Liu He had no experience in struggle, he also understood a general idea when he heard this.

There are now five most powerful generals under Dong Zhuo, namely Zhonglang General Niu Fu, Dong Yue, Duan Xuan, Hu Zhen and Xu Rong. Except for Xu Rong, who was later sealed, the other four belonged to the old man when Dong Zhuo started his family, that is, his descendants.

Niu Fu is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, Dong Yue is Dong Zhuo's own family, they have been stationed near Mianchi with their army, others want to frame these two people with bad intentions, Dong Zhuo will never believe it, and Duan Xuan is stationed in Wuguan in the southeast corner of Chang'an, only dozens of miles away from Nanyang, so he has the best chance to secretly communicate with Yuan Shu, the anti-Dong Zhuo "backbone element".

If Duan Xuan can be charged with colluding with Yuan Shu, it can really make Dong Zhuo suspicious and murderous.

From the sinister perspective of the struggle for power and profit, if Duan Xuan is killed, then the generals who are behind will have the opportunity to be promoted, and even gain the right to lead an army to garrison abroad.

Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji and others are now all lieutenants under Niu Fu's account, and some of them want to turn over Duan Xuan, which is completely possible from the motive.

After figuring out the joints, Liu He said: "Mr. Wenhe's analysis has penetrated into it, and the kid has been taught!" I wonder if General Duan wants to know who Lu Dao intends to harm me? ”

When Duan Xuan heard this, his eyes widened, staring at Liu He and said in a cold tone: "Since Gongzi knows the name of the person who harmed you, why didn't he tell him at the same time?!" ”

Liu He looked at Duan Xuan without changing his face, and then said with a sneer: "If there is no word from Mr. Fang Cai Wenhe, if I rashly say the name of that person, will you believe it, general?" I'm afraid that the general will treat me as a person who sows discord! ”

Duan Xuan's face became a little better-looking, and he said, "Hmph, it's wrong to blame you." Now you can name that person! ”

Liu He also hated Li Dao in his heart, and felt that this product was indeed not a good bird, except for harming Chang'an, it seemed that he had not done anything to benefit the country and the people, and now he wanted to harm himself, so he said without hesitation: "This person is Li Dao, the former captain of Niu Fujiao!" ”

"Li Dao! Li Dao! It turned out to be this shaft! ”

Duan Xuan suddenly slapped his palm on the several cases in front of him, and then stood up suddenly, with a hateful look on his face.

Jia Xu asked Liu He at this time, "I wonder how Gongzi learned that those people were sent by Li Wei?" ”

Liu He didn't want to expose Wang Yue, so he lied and said: "Last night, when my guards were killing these people, they caught a few alive mouths, and after interrogating them on the spot, they asked for the results. ”

Jia Xu nodded, and did not continue to ask Liu and where these people were now.

With the inhuman IQ of the poison man, he had already guessed that everyone had been wiped out by Liu He, and maybe their bodies had been destroyed.

"Zhongming is angry, since you have learned that Li Dao intends to deal with you, you can find a way to get rid of it in the future. Now, the plan is to try to facilitate Liu Gongzi's envoy and prevent them from succeeding! ”

Jia Xu spoke out to persuade Duan Xuan.

After listening to Jia Xu's words, Duan Xuan stood for a while, adjusted his breathing evenly, and then slowly sat down and said to Liu He: "This time, I let Gongzi suffer with him!" In order to compensate you, Ben will personally select a hundred soldiers to escort you out of the customs tomorrow to ensure that your trip is safe! ”

When Liu He heard this, he was overjoyed in his heart, and felt that this fright was really not in vain, and he was able to abduct a hundred guards from Duan Xuan's hands!

After the banquet was over, Duan Xuan asked Liu He to lead Liu He to the place where Wang Yue and the others stayed, arranged a clean and tidy bedroom for him, and sent him a large bucket of hot water for bathing, so that no one would bother him anymore.

Liu He called Wang Yue and Xian Yuyin into the room, told them what had happened during the meal just now, and then asked Wang Yue to find a way to quietly go out of the customs at night, quickly find Tian Chou, and let Tian Chou find a safer place outside Wuguan and wait for him to come out.

When Wang Yue heard that Duan Xuan was going to send a hundred people to protect Liu He, he gladly accepted the order and promised Liu He that he would definitely find Tian Chou's group at night.

After the two left, Liu He finally relaxed, lay firmly on the clean and tidy bed, and reflected on what he had done in the past two days.

Confucius taught future generations to "save my body three times a day", Liu He did not have this kind of cultivation, and he could not do three provinces a day, but it became a habit to review and reflect before going to bed every day.

Liu He tried his best to recall the history he remembered, and wanted to find some clues from the historical records of Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun, Liu Yu, Duan Xuan, Li Dao, and Jia Xu.

Thinking about it, Liu He involuntarily shifted his attention to Jia Xu, who met for the first time.

If you can get Jia Xu's help, what a happy thing it would be!

Suddenly, Liu He remembered a piece of history, and all the sleepiness that had just come up disappeared.

"Jia Xu was effective before Duan Xuan's account at the beginning, but soon after he transferred to Niu Fu's side, and after Niu Fu was killed by Hu Chi'er, it seems that this old poison gave Li Dao the idea, so that Li Dao and Zhang Ji, Guo Yan, Fan Chou and others besieged Chang'an, resulting in the death of Xu Rong of the royalist faction, Wang Yun's suicide, and Lu Bu's escape."

"Now I told Duan Xuan that Li Wei was dealing with him in secret, and the old poison Fang Cai also said that he would help Duan Xuan clean up Li Wei, wouldn't Jia Xu have no chance to get together with Li Wei in the future? Does this change the trajectory of history? ”

All kinds of strange thoughts appeared in Liu He's mind, and he couldn't fall asleep while lying on the bed.

"Rub, I can't care so much! Lao Tzu's appearance in this time and space is the biggest bug, and the original history can only run more and more deviated in the future, and Jia Xu is nothing if he doesn't go to Li Dao! ”

When Liu He thought of this, he suddenly stopped being entangled, so he fell asleep.
