Although Xu Ji wanted to see clearly what would happen between Lu Bu and Cao Ling, but unfortunately, due to the angle problem, Xu Ji couldn't see it even if he wanted to, and he was anxious, but he saw that Xi Zhicai, who was sitting behind many seats under him, was also watching everything happen, and his heart was overjoyed.

That way, you don't have to worry about it.

Cao Ling's toast to Lu Bu was quickly over, and during this time, Xu Ji only noticed that Lu Bu's body was slightly shocked at first, and then his eyes were full of light, obviously something had happened.

Xu Ji turned his head and looked at Jia Xu, just in time to see a cold smile on the corner of Jia Xu's mouth, obviously everything had developed according to his design.

Jia Xu is a very sensitive person, and immediately noticed that someone was paying attention to him, looking at this side, Xu Ji hurriedly looked at Xi Zhicai, and found that Xi Zhicai was smiling at himself, obviously having observed the whole process of the matter.

Jia Xu's gaze swept around, and when he saw that there was nothing suspicious, he withdrew his gaze.

Cao Ling's expression did not show the slightest difference, and returned to Dong Zhuo's side, the little bird snuggled up to Dong Zhuo's side like a human, but there was already a different color in his eyes, and only a few people present could see the difference.

But Lu Bu had a strange expression, and his fiery red eyes became as deep as a pool of water, and he didn't know what Lu Dao was thinking.

Where did Dong Zhuo notice these things? Seeing that everyone complimented Cao Ling, he naturally rejoiced. So he raised his glass again and again and invited everyone to drink. However, he has been avoiding snubbing Xu Ji, Xu Ji felt strange, and immediately understood what Dong Zhuo meant. I couldn't help but sneer in my heart, hum. I underestimate my Xu Ji's pretended Lejin, if Lejin really comes. According to his violent temper, I'm afraid that sometimes he is even more difficult than himself.

After three rounds of drinking, Dong Zhuo was already drunk, looked at Xu Ji, and said with a smile: "Mr. Lejin, Yanzhou wine is the best in the world, but unfortunately Chang'an is located in a remote area, and because of the continuous wars in the Central Plains, there are very few fine wines to my Chang'an." ”

Li Ru's sycophant hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, that is, the prime minister is generous." If it were a stingy ghost like me, I would only be afraid that I would cry for three days after this meal, and as for the prime minister, even the meat would not hurt. ”

Of course, everyone immediately followed the trend, and for a while, there was a flood of rumors.

Xu Ji scolded in his heart with the other envoys, this Dong Zhuo would really be the wicked person to sue first, if it weren't for him. Where will the princes of the world fight year after year?

Dong Zhuo's words seem to be joking on the surface, but in fact, he is making things difficult for his fake Lejin, as if the world is in chaos and storms now. Xu Ji, who is in Yanzhou, is generally responsible, and has nothing to do with him Dong Zhuo.

If it was in the court, Dong Zhuo would have said such words. Someone will soon jump out and denounce it. But now there is no way to say this, after all, Dong Zhuo is ridiculing this "Lejin" in a joking way. So the crowd had no choice but to remain silent. Even Chen Deng and Cao Bao are no exception.

For a while, the scene became strange, and the right side was speechless. On the left, there was an uproar.

Xu Ji didn't want to stiffen the situation, he wanted to know that his fake Le Jin was an envoy sent by Xu Ji, one of the strongest princes in the Central Plains, and the princes represented by the envoys present now were all coming to Xu Ji's signboard, if he was already on this occasion today, his attitude would determine the attitude of the other envoys, and if he didn't speak now, of course the other princes would not speak out.

Thinking of this, Xu Ji first scolded the eighteenth generation ancestors of Dong Zhuo and others in his heart, asking them why they gave birth to their descendants so incorruptibly and shamelessly, and then smiled on the surface: "The prime minister doesn't know, the Central Plains was originally a paradise, if it weren't for Yuan Shao and other generations who had ill intentions and vainly discussed the abolition of the emperor, my Central Plains heroes would have attacked it, how could they have fought for three years?" But it doesn't matter now, villains like Yuan Shao have little time, so they can only sit in this twilight spring, counting the reds on the trees one by one, waiting for their own death. The prime minister likes Yanzhou wine, so what's the difficulty? In the future, my lord will surely bring countless fine wines to the prime minister. ”

As soon as Xu Ji's words came out, Dong Zhuo's people all changed color, and Wang Yun and Yang Biao's eyes also flashed with light, and they looked very surprised, they didn't expect the words of this Yanzhou envoy, who had been very silent, to be so sharp. Jia Xu's eyes flickered even more, obviously because he was a little concerned about his eyes.

On the surface, Xu Ji seems to be scolding Yuan Shao, but if you think about it carefully, which of these crimes against Yuan Shao that Xu Ji denounced Dong Zhuo hadn't done?

Yuan Shao wanted to abolish Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and set up Liu Yu separately, but this thing failed, but Dong Zhuo abolished the Young Emperor and established the current Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.

Yuan Shao is now in a safe corner, relying on his younger brother Yuan Shu, why not Dong Zhuo? Sitting in Guanzhong, but not getting stronger, isn't it just waiting for death?

Xu Ji borrowed Yuan Shao, in fact, he was criticizing Dong Zhuo, in the eyes of others, this is simply pulling the tiger's beard, you must know that Xu Ji's current identity is just a small messenger, and he dares to be so bold, it is simply tired.

However, people have to admit that Dong Zhuo has no way to take Xu Ji, because Xu Ji did not directly denounce him, but was talking about Yuan Shao, where could Dong Zhuo say anything?

The envoys who came from other places were all secretly cheering in their hearts.

Only Chen Deng and Cao Bao remained silent, Xu Ji sneered in his heart, of course he knew what the two of them thought in their hearts, as the messenger of the Central Plains, of course they would be unhappy to be insulted, but Xu Ji had already seen through it, in fact, Dong Zhuo's ridicule of himself today was from Cao Bao's pressure, and now the relationship between Xuzhou and Yanzhou is not harmonious, and he has already had the idea of plotting to seize Xuzhou, Tao Qian has probably also realized this, so the purpose of wanting to marry Dong Zhuo is to curb his foreign aggression, And today's words are nothing more than to force himself, a fake Lejin, to admit his mistake in public.

You must know that Lu Dao is in the diplomatic field, and the attitude of Lejin, the envoy, of course, represents Xu Ji's attitude, if Lejin admits his mistake, how can Xu Ji be embarrassed to attack Xuzhou again in the future?

Tao Qian has no other skills, but he is very accurate in looking at other people's weaknesses, and Xu Ji's biggest advantage is his prestige and his reputation. At the same time, this is also one of Xu Ji's biggest drags. Because Xu Ji must have a legitimate excuse before doing anything, this is evidenced by the precedent of attacking Yuan Shao and Han Fu.

Tao Qian is not a fool. Of course, he also saw through his own series of measures that he had been plotting against Xuzhou for a long time, but Tao Qian asked himself if he had the ability to see through Xu Ji's intentions, so he avoided Xu Ji, who he thought was still in Jizhou, and attacked his fake Lejin.

It's a clever strategy!

It's just that Tao Qian probably didn't think that Guo Jia and Xun Chen sent by him, as well as the real Lejin hadn't started in Xuzhou yet, Tao Qian was the first to strike.

However, they obviously did not expect that they would launch such a fierce counterattack, which was obviously their biggest mistake.

Although Dong Zhuo is brutal, he is a character in the end, although the Lejin in front of Zhilu Dao is a small person. But Xu Ji behind this Lejin is really easy to offend, one is not good, that is, he is in trouble, and immediately laughed and said: "Mr. Lejin's sharp opinions, he said it simply happily, and it won my heart." Come on, let Mr. Lao Jing have a drink. ”

Xu Ji remained silent, calmly raised his wine glass, and drank a glass with Dong Zhuo.

I put down my glass. Seeing Li Ru on the other side glaring at Cao Bao, and Cao Bao's eyes showed a look of disappointment, Xu Ji immediately understood the whole thing.

It seems that Cao Bao sacrificed his baby daughter first, and then asked Dong Zhuo to join forces to restrain Xu Ji. Dong Zhuo Meise is of course full of promises, but he can't think of a way. So he found Li Ru and asked Li Ru to give advice. And Dong Zhuo's clever ridicule just now. Of course, it must be from Li Ru's handwriting.

However, through this matter, Li Ru probably also understood that Dong Zhuo's love for Cao Ling was extraordinary, so he had the compliment that made everyone numb to goosebumps when they heard it just now. Obviously, he wants to use Cao Ling to consolidate his position.

However, these things are obviously not hidden from Jia Xu, who has an unfathomable attitude, Jia Xu's understanding of human nature is simply to the point, he only concluded from Cao Ling's life experience and the fact that he was favored by Dong Zhuo in such a short period of time that Cao Ling was a person who was unwilling to be lonely.

It is conceivable that when he first came to this hall, Jia Xu had been talking intimately with Cao Bao, and the content must be related to Cao Ling.

Then there will be Jia Xu's strange behavior tonight.

And this is Jia Xu's counterattack.

Xu Ji suddenly discovered a characteristic of Jia Xu's advice, that is, he is reckless and does not give up until he achieves his goal, as for the life and death of others, he doesn't care about the life or death of others, if Cao Ling and Lu Bu do anything, Dong Zhuo, Li Ru, Lu Bu, Cao Ling The fate of everyone will change, and it will change to the absolutely bad side, but Jia Xu will not even hesitate.

Such a person is too dangerous, like a lone wolf that cannot be raised, as long as he endangers himself, he will fight back recklessly.

It seems that there are many people who want to use Lu Bu! In addition to Wang Yun in history, even Jia Xu now wants to use Lu Bu, which is really interesting.

However, the banquet is going on so far, everyone is already happy, because Dong Zhuo's purpose has been half achieved, that is, to give Xuzhou enough face, although he did not force Xu Ji to fake Lejin in public to promise not to attack Xuzhou, but if Xu Ji goes to attack Xuzhou in the future, Xu Ji will have to give Dong Zhuo some face no matter what.

But because of this, Xu Ji told himself that Dong Zhuo must die!

Without Dong Zhuo, let's see what tricks Tao Qian can play.

A banquet looks happy on the surface, but there is an undercurrent in it, and after the worst of it, even the most dull person can see that something is wrong, that is, this banquet Dong Zhuo is attacking Yanzhou and supporting Xuzhou.

It's a pity that it didn't succeed, in the eyes of the high-flying and domineering Dong Zhuo, this kind of unspeakable dumb loss is the first time to eat it, and of course he is not in the mood to drink it again.

As soon as the host was in a bad mood, the guests stood up and took their leave.

The first to stand up was Wang Yun, he was not from the faction of foreign envoys, so it was not rude to ask for a farewell, and he was not Dong Zhuo's descendant, so he couldn't talk about showing weakness to Xu Ji and other foreign envoys.

So when Wang Yunyi stood up and said that he was going to say goodbye, everyone who was feeling embarrassed all showed a grateful look to Wang Yun.

As soon as Wang Yuncai said that he was leaving, Bao Xin stood up and said that he wanted to go with Wang Yun, where is of course old friends reminiscing with each other, and of course everyone has no objection.

However, Xu Ji didn't believe that the relationship between the two was so simple. Now Xu Ji has the right to keep an eye on Cao Cao's side, and he won't figure out what Cao Cao is doing in Chang'an for a day. One day, Xu Ji was difficult to feel at ease.

Thinking of this, Xu Ji turned his head. looked at Xi Zhicai, who had been paying attention to his actions since the beginning of the banquet, and made a gesture, so he stood up, and took advantage of the opportunity for everyone in the hall to stand up and say goodbye one after another, and sneaked out of the hall to arrange.

Liu Bei and Zhang Ren obviously had a lot to say between them, so they both left.

Ma Teng was left behind by Dong Zhuo, obviously because on the topic of Xiliang, the two sides had a common language.

Cao Bao was in a bad mood. However, because his identity had changed, he stood up directly, said goodbye to Dong Zhuo, turned around and left, and didn't even say hello to Xu Ji.

Seeing that Chen Zhi, who had come to Xu Ji's side at this time, hated it in his heart, he was not the Dian Wei who was standing on the other side of Xu Ji's side as long as he had food and fights, and he would be infinitely satisfied, of course Chen Zhi could see tonight's events clearly. Seeing Cao Bao's bad attitude, he couldn't help but kill Dasheng.

But Xu Ji was not in a hurry at all, on the contrary, he felt a little pity for Cao Bao's current behavior, because no matter how hard Cao Bao tried, the final result would not change in the slightest.

In fact. Even if there is no Cao Ling, Xu Ji will still find a way to get a woman to perform beauty tricks, history proves. The best way to deal with Dong Zhuo is the beauty trick.

Now it seems that Cao Ling is just a useless victim. The only thing that made Xu Ji feel a little relieved was that Cao Ling at least knew what she was doing. That is to say, Cao Ling may be able to change her life in the future.

Chen Deng's attitude towards Xu Ji is still old-fashioned, maintaining the style of wall grass.

As for Lu Bu, Guo Yan and others, they stayed here to carnival according to the old rules, and the objects of the carnival were of course those coquettish maids, only Zhang Ji, who was worried about his wife to the extreme, said goodbye first, leaving only his nephew Zhang Xiu here to continue to spend time drinking and doing nonsense.

Of course, Jia Xu also retired first, so naturally he left with Zhang Ji.

Xu Ji said goodbye to everyone, politely declined Yang Biao's request to invite his peers, boarded the carriage with Chen Zhi and Dian Wei, and left.

on the carriage.

Chen Zhi said to Xu Ji in a deep voice: "Lord, Cao Bao is really too much today, it seems that if you don't teach him a lesson, this guy's toes are not raised to the sky?" ”

Xu Ji said with a smile: "Uncle Zhi, why rush for a while, I want them to look good sooner or later." ”

Chen Zhi was silent for a long time, and then suddenly smiled and said, "What the lord said is that it doesn't matter how long or short a day is to become a big thing. Immediately Qi said: "Strange, why Mr. Xi Zhicai hasn't come back yet." ”

Xu Ji told the two that he had sent Xi Zhicai to monitor Bao Xin and Wang Yun's movements.

Dian Wei was stunned, but Chen Zhi didn't understand: "Is there something wrong with these two people?" ”

Xu Ji said in a deep voice: "I have always been thinking about the purpose of Cao Cao's visit to Chang'an this time, but I can't find the answer, now Bao Xin, who is standing in front of Cao Cao and speaking instead of Cao Cao, is so close to Wang Yun, shouldn't we investigate?" ”

When the two of them heard this, they nodded in understanding.

At this moment, the door of the car was opened, and Xi Zhicai boarded the carriage like a cat, and it could be seen that he was not just drinking in Chang'an City this year. I saw him smile at Xu Ji and said, "Lord, everything is ready." ”

Xu Ji stood up and said with a smile: "Then what are we waiting for?" ”

was about to get out of the car, but was stopped by Xi Zhicai, Xu Ji looked at Xi Zhicai in amazement, but saw that this guy hesitated for a long time, and then said to Xu Ji: "Lord, don't you need to change into night clothes?" ”

Xu Ji and the other three were stunned for a moment, and then looked at Xi Zhicai's pretended deep expression, and immediately burst into laughter.

Long nights, long streets, long shadows.

Wang Yun's carriage was bumpy on this road, followed by many guards, and he saw that he was about to get rid of this street, but he saw a man covered in blood running out of an alley, shouting: "Murder!" ”

Immediately, behind this person, in the same alley, a person rushed out, holding a knife in his hand, gritted his teeth and roared: "Lao Tzu killed you!" ”

Wang Yun's soldiers, fearing that something would happen, rushed forward in unison, surrounded the wounded, and some of them wanted to subdue the knife-wielding.

Seeing that the other party was outnumbered, the sword-wielder frantically slashed out two knives, forcing the two soldiers with halberds behind him to flee.

Wang Yun's soldiers felt that they had no face, and they divided more than a dozen people to chase after them.

And the man who had escaped death screamed as if he had lost his mind, and the soldiers surrounded him.

"Why is it noisy outside!?" The car door opened, and Wang Yun's unangry voice came out.

The soldiers hurriedly reported to Wang Yun.

After Wang Yun figured out what was going on, he muttered for a long time, and then ordered someone to take the injured back to the mansion for treatment.

After Wang Yun explained everything, he returned to the car, and the soldiers hurriedly stood in formation and continued to move forward.

But they didn't see it, and just as they were disturbing, two black shadows from the house on one side of the street jumped down and turned to the bottom of Wang Yun's carriage with agility like a leopard.

Wang Yun's carriage was of course made in Yanzhou, and it was also the kind of carriage that could be used by the shadow with a dark compartment under the carriage.

Therefore, regardless of asking, one of the people who got under the carriage just now was of course Xu Ji, and the other person was Xi Zhicai. This is also a strange thing, but two literati came to do this martial arts business.

The two of them hid in a hidden compartment at the bottom of the carriage, and because of the reasonable design, the two of them lay on their backs in it without feeling crowded at all.

In the midst of the bump, the two took out the eavesdropping tools from their arms and placed them on the bottom of the car, so that the sound in the car was finally clear and unmistakable.

I only heard one of the people inside say: "Of course Meng De has no problem, but I don't know how Lord Wang Yun of the Dao Dao controls Chang'an?" ”

Listen to this voice, it is Bao Xin's.

But the content of what he said surprised Xu Ji and Xi Zhicai. (To be continued......)
