Early in the morning, Puzhou.

Xu Ji sat in the official office and drank tea, his whole body relaxed, waiting for the coming of the big war.

At this time, Heng Fan led Tai Qingtong and the Dragon Maiden to the lobby, and the two fell to the ground.

Xu Ji looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "It won't be long before you can live and fly together." Tears flashed in the dragon girl's eyes, and she said to Xu Ji: "Lord Sikong, your great kindness, the dragon girl will never forget it, and if you are a cow and a horse in the next life, you must repay it with a grass ring." ”

Xu Ji looked at Qin Qingtong, who was kneeling beside the dragon girl, and waved his hand to Huan Fan, who walked out of the door with understanding, and then smiled noncommittally: "I only hope that you can grow old together, I Xu Ji has done everything, but Yue Lao is still the first time to do it, and I don't want to leave any painful memories." ”

The dragon girl burst into tears and laughed. Xu Ji stood up, walked to the two of them, helped the two of them up, and said earnestly: "Marriage is not the end of feelings, but the beginning of a new life, the road of life is long, many unknown things are waiting for us to learn, the same is true of marriage, there are many places where we need to learn, if you maintain a humble and studious heart in the face of marriage, then your life will be enjoyable, so Confucius will be poor and happy, said' The gentleman is poor', this is not only about the career, but also refers to the life of each of us, but if you are not prepared, sooner or later you will be crushed by trivial things, life in the world, the most terrible thing is not to face difficulties and not to challenge, but to complain. Remember, both of you. The Dragon Girl and Qin Qingtong were shocked when they heard this. nodded together, obviously convinced by Xu Ji's words.

This is, Huan Fan came in again, and behind him was Hua Tuo.

Xu Ji smiled at the dragon girl and said, "Today, Mr. Hua Tuo will remove the poison from the two of you." Then you can leave. ”

The dragon girl nodded and said, "The slave family understands. According to Ji Ping's instructions to the slave family, the poison on Lord Sikong's body should also attack today. Xu Ji smiled and said, "So I'm going to send someone to Chang'an to inform me of Xu Ji's death now." Otherwise, how could Wang Zifu and others have the courage to do it? ”

Everyone laughed when they heard Xu Ji's words.

Xu Ji turned his head and said to Huan Fan solemnly: "You immediately send someone to block all the main roads from Chang'an to the Central Plains now. After we launched Operation Chang'an. It is necessary to cut off the exchange of news between the Central Plains and Chang'an. Huan Fan responded angrily.

was about to leave, but was grabbed by Xu Ji, looked at the dragon girl and Qin Qingtong who were about to focus on Hua Tuo, and said in a low voice: "I always feel that this Qin Qingtong is very wrong. Although this certainly has nothing to do with our plans, there must be something hidden behind this man, and you sent someone to follow you after the two of you left, to keep the dragon girl safe, after all, she helped us a lot. Nor can we allow her to suffer misfortune. ”

Huan Fan nodded and left as ordered. Xu Ji no longer paid attention to Hua Tuo to detoxify the two. Walking out of the door, he sighed and said, "The family, it should be about the same, right?"

Changan. The residence of the prince's suit.

Wang Zifu, Zhou Huan, Wu Shuo, Ji Ping, Yu Ji and others gathered together, and everyone was beaming with joy on their faces. Wang Zifu first looked at Dong Cheng. He smiled humbly and said, "Lord Dong Cheng, you are really a great contributor to being able to kill Xu Ji this time." ”

Everyone echoed the voice.

Dong Cheng said with a smile: "Your Excellency has won the prize, Xu Ji's poisoning and death is a foregone conclusion, and the next question is how to assist the Holy Lord and calm the world." This is our top priority, the so-called name is not right, I think Mr. Yu Ji is our magic weapon to win. Everyone understood and complimented Yu Ji again.

Yu Ji knew what was going on. Let's be honest. He himself is not exactly a member of the party such as Wang Zifu, but he has a high academic status, and this is exactly what they want to borrow.

And now is naturally the best time to win yourself over. And in fact, their strategy will succeed immediately, and naturally they also have the capital to win over themselves. According to common sense. I really should say yes. It's a pity that Wang Zifu and the others didn't know that they were Cao Cao's people, so the whole shape was completely changed.

But to Yuji's surprise, something happened. He didn't expect that Wang Zifu and others would actually use poison to deal with Xu Ji, and they would succeed.

Originally, he only thought that Ji Ping was just a tool of Wang Zifu and others, but he didn't expect that Ji Ping was a core member of Wang Zifu's party at all. As soon as Xu Ji died, the world was afraid that there would be chaos immediately, and this situation was of course beneficial to Cao Cao, at least it was easier to implement it according to the plan, but the problem was that Cao Cao didn't know the news at all now, so he couldn't make the most effective use of this advantageous situation.

Therefore, what Yu Ji wants to do most now is to inform Cheng Yu, the military advisor in charge of the general strategy of the Chang'an region.

But it seems that there is no chance now, because he can't find a reason to leave here at all, so he can only take advantage of the chaos in Chang'an to find a way. It shouldn't be too late.

Thinking of this, Yu Ji said proudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, please rest assured, whose doctrine is the right way in the world, and who is the true son of heaven, high and low, Xu Ji, is insignificant at all." After a pause, he asked, "Can you elaborate on the poisoning?" ”

Fu Wan, who was on the side, said the matter with a smile. Yu Ji was in a cold sweat when he heard this, and he changed places, Xu Ji really had no way not to be fooled, who would have thought that he could get the wonder soldier of the Dragon Girl?

Dong Cheng looked at Fu Wan and said with a smile: "Lord Fu, I heard the little girl say that Ling Ai is virtuous and virtuous in the palace, and he is really a model in the palace, and he should be established as the middle palace." Fu Wan smiled and said, "Where did Lord Dong come from?" The little girl is proud and has always rarely been convinced, but she is obedient to the adult's love for the girl, I don't think Lord Dong should be humble, the main palace Niangniang is still the daughter of Lord Dong. ”

Dong Cheng laughed. There is no pushing.

Everyone knows what the two are playing, and it is a characteristic of the Eastern Han Dynasty for relatives to control the government, and it is normal for powerful families to use marriage to control the emperor. Although Dong Cheng is not a powerful foreign prince, at least Wang Zifu and others are much superior, and this time in the matter of getting rid of Xu Ji, Dong Cheng contributed the most, and his daughter became the mother of the main palace, and everyone naturally had nothing to say.

Dong Cheng obviously understands this. First wooed Yu Ji. Then he appeased and found a strong foreign aid for his daughter in the palace. That's the key. Yu Ji sneered in his heart, he naturally despised these people very much in his heart. What these people did was just to help Cao Cao remove the obstacles in Chang'an. I still think that I am the biggest winner, which is really a mouse's eye.

Ji Ping, who had not spoken, frowned, although his status in the prince's suit group had now surged, he was very dissatisfied with what the prince and the others had just said. Strictly speaking, he is not the son of a famous family. He was also loyal to Emperor Han Xian, and this time he dealt with Xu Ji out of a loyal heart, but he didn't expect that Wang Zifu and others would be busy dividing up the interests before they were done, which was really disappointing to him.

Especially the matter of establishing the queen. This matter is a family affair of the emperor. As a subordinate, how can you control it? However, he is already a member of the prince's party, and he has come to this point, and Ji Ping can only take one step at a time.

For the first time, he had the idea of staying away from politics, Ji Ping turned his head to look at his two second sons Ji Miao, Ji Mu, who were also present, and found that the eyes of the two were blazing light, obviously they were both keen on fame and fortune, and sighed slightly in their hearts. Let's take one step at a time. Da Honglu Zhou Huan interjected at this time: "The two adults don't need to say it, I think this matter is easy to handle, Lord Dong Cheng's daughter is the mother of the main palace, and the daughter of Lord Fu is the mother of the East Palace." And Cao Mengde's daughter. Naturally, she is the mother of the West Palace, the daughter of Ma Teng's husband, and she is a concubine. ”

Everyone nodded in agreement. This note is in line with their control of Chang'an, the powerful princes of the alliance. A strategy for long-range and close attacks. Huang Kui, the waiter, squinted his eyes and smiled: "This is a grand event for the ages." He turned his head to look at his old friend Taishi Cheng Xu Zhi, and said hesitantly: "Lord Xu." You have to sing the praises of virtue. ”

Huang Kui, who looked dignified, but had a pair of triangular eyes, howled and smiled: "This is natural." ”

Everyone listened to it. At this moment, Zhonglang General Li Fu, who had been in charge of informing the news, hurriedly walked into the hall and smiled at everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, Xu Ji is afraid that he is dead. ”

Although it was expected, everyone still took over, and a look of surprise appeared on everyone's faces.

Wang Zifu said in a deep voice: "How did Master Li know? Li Fu said solemnly: "Not long ago, someone came back from Tongguan, looking dressed as a person in Xu Ji's army, this person passed through Weinan and rushed to Chang'an non-stop, and our people found that this person ran to the Yanzhou general who guarded Chang'an City. ”

Everyone looked at each other, knowing that something must have happened to Xu Ji.

Li Fu took a breath and said, "Not long after, Yu Ban led a thousand Yanzhou cavalry from the east gate of Chang'an City and went straight to Tongguan. The crowd cheered.

What else can make Yu Ban, who is known for his calmness in the Yanzhou army, lose his temper so much and want to leave Chang'an immediately, except for Xu Ji's poisoning and death?

Wang Zifu grabbed Li Fu and said nervously: "In this way, the defense of Chang'an City is extremely empty now?" ”

Li Fu said with a smile: "Now there is only Yu Ban's deputy in Chang'an City, although that little cub Xu Wei is rumored to be Xu Ji's personal guard, but I don't know where it is an unknown person, isn't it easy for this person to be in charge of Chang'an's defense?" Da Honglu Zhou Huan laughed and said: "God really help me!" ”

Fu Wan's son Fu De looked at the prince and said, "Lord Wang, please give orders." ”

Wang Zifu nodded and said: "Xu Ji and Yu Ban are not in Chang'an, so it will be easy to control Chang'an City." Looking at Li Fu, he said in a deep voice: "Li Fu, you go and inform the newly appointed commander of the forbidden army, Wang Tu, and ask him to guard the palace, and he has to leave the palace without my order...... By the way, I want him to beware of Shi A, this person is the number one swordsman in the world. With the courage of ten thousand people, Shi A must not be allowed to make any moves, if he threatens the emperor, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

Li Fu took the order and left. Wang Zifu turned around and looked at Dong Cheng and said, "Lord Dong, the eighth lieutenant of the West Park still needs you to transfer." However, we must do it with Master Zhang Xiu outside the city. Dong Cheng laughed and said: "This old man naturally knows that I will send two teams to make trouble in Beicheng and Xicheng, so as to do it." Xu Wei and Jiang Yi's eyes will be focused here, and then I will send four teams to attack the south gate, open the city gate and let Zhang Xiu's army enter the city, and the other two teams will attack Sikong Mansion when Chang'an City is in chaos. But I think if you can control Xu Ji's lady and the Yin family in your hands. It will be of great benefit to us in the future to pacify the Central Plains. "Because of the dragon girl's deliberate concealment, Wang Zifu and the others still don't know that Xu Ji has taken Yin Ning away. Naturally, it is a big swing oolong.

Wang Zifu said coldly: "The so-called princess of the Han Dynasty doesn't matter, it's just that as far as I know. That princess gave birth to a son for Xu Ji's dog thief, and now that Xu Ji is dead, if we can get his son into our hands, it will naturally be more ideal. ”

The lascivious waiter Huang Kui couldn't help but say, "How can that woman be useless? I have long heard that the princess is the first beauty in Yanzhou, and she has the appearance of captivating the country and the city. When the men heard this, they immediately laughed with ulterior motives, and as soon as they talked about the topic. Immediately they all became beasts in heat.

Taishi Cheng Xu Zhi smiled and said, "Why Yining? That Yin is also a natural stunner, and I feel sorry for it. That's right. There is also the dragon girl who has made great contributions to us, and her beauty has long been gone in Chang'an...... Of course, after the matter is completed, this woman is still in the room of Lord Dong Cheng, and we have no choice but to envy it, but that Cai Yan can count on it. Da Honglu Zhou Huan smiled and said, "Let's ask Cai Yong if he agrees first." ”

When Xu Zhi heard this, he sighed and said, "There is Cai Yong here." It's not easy to do, but we can fish in troubled waters, and the overlord will bow hard. After waiting for the raw rice to be cooked and matured, let's see what Cai Yong does! ”

The waiter Huang Kui sneered and said: "Forget it if you say it, don't take it seriously, don't forget that this woman is born with a Kefu statue." Otherwise, why would people like Xu Ji die sideways? Xu Zhi couldn't help but shudder when he heard this, and finally reluctantly said: "It's no problem to abandon the chaos from the beginning to the end, right?" ”

Yoshihei was bored when he heard it. couldn't help but say: "Now that the big thing has not been accomplished, I actually said what a lewd wife and daughter." It's really unbelievable. What's more, Xu Ji's wife is also a princess of the Han Dynasty, so the princes are cautious! ”

Huang Kui and the others realized that they were too carried away. But the two of them didn't discipline themselves. Instead, he glared at Yoshihei fiercely. Jihei turned his head away and stopped looking at the two.

Wang Zifu also glared at Huang Kui and the two of them unhappily, then diverted the topic and nodded: "Lord Dong Cheng's arrangement is the best, in this way, the only place where the Yanzhou army can go is the West Gate, and in the west of Chang'an, this Yanzhou army does not have much room to survive." --Again, if we can get Xu Ji's wife and children in our hands, we will be greatly benefited in Chang'an and even the world in the future. Wu Shuo, who is quite familiar with military affairs, also nodded and said: "As for the outside of Chang'an City, there is Lu Bu to deal with Tian Feng, so we will naturally save a lot of effort." The Yanzhou army inside the city wanted to ask Tian Feng for help, but Tian Feng didn't have that strength. ”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Yu Ji said: "The old man will not be idle, don't you care about Shi Ah very much?" Hehe, let the old man go first, entangle Shi A, and facilitate General Wang Tu's actions. The prince was overjoyed and said, "So it will be troublesome for Mr. Just pay attention to Shi A, this person's swordsmanship is outstanding, I'm afraid he is no longer under his teacher Wang Yue. ”

Yu Ji said in his heart that I was going to inform Wang Tu, and I was not fighting to the death with Shi A, so why bother, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Lord Wang, the old man is just pestering Shi A, what can he do with the old man?" ”

The crowd laughed. Wang Zifu waved his hand and said, "Since there is no objection, let's start acting." ”

The crowd made a promise.

In the blink of an eye, the hall was clean.

In Sikong Mansion, information was reported to the flowing water.

Of course, the actions of the prince and others have also spread here. Hearing the news, the people in the house did not panic, as if it was a trivial matter.

Deng Ai stood proudly in front of the table with the armrest at this time, without any nervousness or excitement at all. The expression was very calm, and there was a feeling of leisurely strolling.

Xu Wei stood aside in awe, looking at Deng Ai with a calm face and not saying a word. Xu Wei and Deng Ai are students in the same academic year at Yanzhou Academy, so they know Deng Ai's power better than others. Xu Wei and Deng Ai's admission was specially approved by Xu Ji, Deng Ai was too young, and Xu Wei was too low in education, but Deng Ai was talented, and Xu Wei was required by the position, and Xu Wei was a person who had seen Deng Ai's power in the academy.

In fact, in Yanzhou, everyone agrees that Deng Ai must be the leader of the next generation in Yanzhou, and at a young age, he has a strategy that is not inferior to Guo Jia and Xun Yu's talent for managing the people, and he also combines politics and military affairs with a peerless talent, so the core personnel in Yanzhou are all convinced. Otherwise, how could Xu Ji hand over such an important task of staying in Chang'an to the young Deng Ai.

Outsiders can't imagine that this young man is so powerful, he is really a miracle soldier.

Jiang Wei on the other side also stood there quietly, although he had only joined Yanzhou not long ago, but he also knew the style of the Yanzhou Army, that is, the pragmatism that was not in vain, he had not seen any person without skills who could gain a foothold in the Yanzhou Army, even Xu Wei, who liked to joke, was shrewd and capable when he started to do things, and he was not ambiguous at all.

Therefore, facing Deng Ai in front of him, he definitely did not have the slightest contempt.

Moreover, Deng Ai's composure also gave him an unprecedented shock.

It is a kind of success or failure in the world in the hands of Deng Ai, turning over his hands to the clouds and covering his hands into rain, which makes people completely convinced.

Deng Ai glanced at the two of them quietly, knowing that he had established absolute authority in the hearts of the two, so he smiled and said, "Let's start too." (To be continued......)
