Chapter 240: Chaos in Chang'an (6)

Lu Bu, the god of war of the Three Kingdoms, would actually be injured? It's incredible.

Without the skills of Dian Wei and Chen to the level, it is simply impossible to hurt Lu Bu. And even Chen Zhi is not sure that he will be able to defeat Lu Bu now, who can do this?

Looking at the four people who were a little stunned, the phantom elite hurriedly explained: "It was Dong Zhuo who injured Lu Bu. ”

The four of them looked at each other, and Xu Ji frowned and said, "What the hell is going on?" You make it clear. ”

The soldier stabilized his mind before explaining the matter, it turned out that Dong Zhuo left one of his subordinates to drink and have fun, because he left Ma Teng to chat, so he ordered Cao Ling to entertain everyone in front of him.

Who knew that Lu Bu drank too much, and when Cao Ling toasted again, this Lu Bu was bold and dared to use his arm to grab Cao Ling's slender waist, but the affectionate behavior of the two was discovered by Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo was naturally very angry, and took out the halberd from the guards next to him and threw it at Lu Bu, Lu Bu was caught off guard and was stabbed in the arm. As a result, Dong Zhuo was hugged by Li Ru and was comforting with kind words, while Lu Bu was sent back to his mansion for treatment.

After hearing this, the four of them all smiled, and said in their hearts: It seems that God really wants Dong Zhuo to die, otherwise how could there be an opportunity for Wang Yun to stir up the relationship between Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu so soon?

Xu Ji looked at the Phantom Elite and asked, "What is Miss Cao Ling's reaction?" ”

The phantom spirit said: "Miss Cao Ling couldn't say a word of fright, she just cried vigorously. ”

Xu Ji nodded when he heard this, asked a few more words, and waved his hand to let him go.

Dian Wei, a rough man, didn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade. Sympathize with Cao Ling and say: "It's really pitiful, that little girl has probably never seen bloodshed, right?" No wonder he was so frightened that he couldn't speak. ”

Xi Zhicai knocked him on the head. smiled: "Junqing, you are very wrong. What is so frightened that you can't speak? It's not cowardice, it's cleverness. Cao Ling did this to wait for Dong Zhuo's reaction, she wanted to see how Dong Zhuo would treat Lu Bu. If Lu Bu is fine, then of course Cao Ling said that he was frightened, if Dong Zhuo wanted to blame Lu Bu, Cao Ling would say that Lu Bu, a shameless person, had despised her, and asked Dong Zhuo to be the master for him, in short, Cao Ling would not be hurt left and right. ”

Xu Ji nodded and said, "That's right." ”

Chen Zhi said with a smile: "But Dong Zhuo will not blame Lu Bu." It depends on Li Ru's skills. ”

Xu Ji said with a smile: "Li Ru will definitely keep Lu Bu, because Lu Bu has always been a person who is not interested in politics, although he is ambitious, but he is too lazy to use his brain, this kind of person is the easiest to manipulate, of course Li Ru will not be willing to Lu Bu." In fact, Lu Bu was injured tonight, and he also suffered a bit of an unwarranted disaster. If it weren't for the fact that Dong Zhuo was angry with us first tonight and held back the fire in his belly, I'm afraid Dong Zhuo wouldn't be so impulsive, right? No matter how outrageous Lu Bu is, it is impossible to make too many moves in public. ”

The other three nodded.

Xu Ji smiled: "But I don't care about that. Let's step up. Once the news of Lu Bu's injury comes out today, I am afraid that Wang Yun will speed up his actions, if we don't have a way to take the emperor away before Wang Yunci kills Dong Zhuo, then everything will be in vain. ”

The three of them agreed.

Xi Zhicai thought for a while. Said to Xu Ji: "I'm more worried about Cao Cao, although tonight we have learned about the cooperation between Cao Cao and Wang Yun, but I believe Cao Cao can also see that Wang Yun uses most of the elements against him." I'm afraid that Cao Cao won't give up, and he has another set of means. ”

Xu Ji nodded and said, "This is a certainty." But none of this has anything to do with us, as long as the emperor is taken away by us. We've won. ”

Of course, the three of them understood what Xu Ji meant.

The four of them studied their next move for a while, and when they saw that it was getting late, they went back to their rooms to rest.

The next day, the news of Lu Bu's injury spread all over Chang'an, and everyone was very concerned about this matter and wanted to see how Dong Zhuo handled this matter. Some people even asserted that Lu Bu was in trouble this time, and he would lose his head if he didn't do it.

The unexpected thing was that Dong Zhuo didn't have any intention of killing Lu Bu, and even went to Lu Bu's mansion to comfort Lu Bu, and stated that he had misunderstood Lu Bu and asked Lu Bu to recuperate from his injuries in peace and not think about it.

Of course, this is the credit of Li Ru, and Lu Bu is of course grateful on the surface, but Xu Ji and the others know in their hearts that Lu Bu will not be convinced, and the contradiction between the two has been buried.

The second unexpected second order was that Zhang Xiu's Jia Xu was transferred out of Chang'an to work in the Niu Auxiliary Army, which was obviously from Li Ru's handwriting, and for a long time, the struggle between Li Ru and Jia Xu finally had a result, which of course was Jia Xu's gloomy end.

However, only Xu Ji and a few others knew that the real winner was Jia Xu, because Jia Xu had successfully tied Li Ru and Cao Ling together, which was equivalent to finding countless troubles for Li Ru. As long as Cao Ling breaks off the connection with Lu Bu for a day, Li Ru will not be able to live in peace for a day.

Of course, Jia Xu didn't know that doing this was equivalent to indirectly helping Wang Yun a lot, and he did what Xu Ji wanted to do but was difficult to do.

Sure enough, Xu Ji, who was closely watching Wang Yun's actions, immediately noticed that Wang Yun and Bao Xin had much more frequent contact, and the most interesting thing was that Cao Cao obviously wanted to confuse Xu Ji's sight, so he often secretly went to Xu Ji to drink with Xu Ji.

Xu Ji was happy to pretend to be confused, just to be with Cao Cao every day, because both of them deliberately avoided political issues, just a general chat, so Xu Ji got a lot of knowledge from Cao Cao, which opened Xu Ji's eyes, and Cao Cao's talent in writing four-word poems made Xu Ji admire.

On the contrary, Cheng Yu brought by Cao Cao is very low-key, rarely shows his head, and he doesn't know what Lu Dao is doing, which makes Xu Ji a little worried, because this Cheng Yu has a talent that is not inferior to Guo Jia and Jia Xu, and is at the same level as Xi Zhicai and Xu Shudang.

A few days have passed in a flash, and there is no movement on the surface, at least on the surface, and the envoys of the princes everywhere have nothing left to do on the surface.

Liu Bei, who has always been concerned by Xu Ji, has no sign of any connection with Liu Yu's son Liu He these days, but Liu He visited Liu Bei the day after Liu Bei came to Chang'an. However, this is normal in the eyes of outsiders, because Liu He has been an official in the court for a long time. Where did he have the opportunity to meet his father? Now that Liu Bei has arrived in Chang'an, Liu He went to Liu Bei to inquire. That's a very normal thing, of course.

Only Xu Ji and others know that this matter is not so simple.

After that, Liu He and Liu Bei rarely met, and every time they met, it was very little time, so it was obviously impossible to plan something, it seemed that before coming to Chang'an again, they had already planned everything. So now there is not much contact.

Liu Bei should have known Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan by now, right? I don't know what Liu Bei's heart is planning? It's just that Liu Bei and Liu Yan's envoy Zhang Ren are unusually affectionate these days.

Could it be that Liu Bei wants to take refuge in Liu Yan? Xu Ji gradually formed such an opinion, and the more he thought about it, the more reasonable it became, in fact, Zhang Ren's arrival made Xu Ji very surprised. Because Liu Yan and Ma Teng did not respond to Xu Ji's proposition in advance, their arrival seemed very abrupt.

Everyone's actions have a reason, and Zhang Ren and Ma Teng's arrival must also have a reason, but Xu Ji is not clear until now. The only thing that can be done now is to closely monitor the movements of these two fronts, and hopefully there will be results soon.

Seeing that success was imminent, Xu Ji didn't want any accidents.

There was another unexpected thing, that is, Zhang Ren and Zhang Xiu were old acquaintances, and when they attended the banquet held by Dong Zhuo for Cao Ling that day, they didn't see it at all.

I inquired about it. It turned out that Zhang Ren and Zhang Xiu were also brothers.

This surprised Xu Ji, and Chen Zhi also attached great importance to Zhang Ren, but Xu Ji knew that Zhang Ren's martial arts were not as powerful as Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Ren's power was the art of war. You must know that according to the records of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the famous "phoenix chick" Pang Tong died in the hands of Zhang Ren.

And if you want to talk about the number one master in Shu, it should be Li Yancai. This Li Yan can fight with Huang Zhong for dozens of rounds without winning or losing, and he can be said to be the only super-first-class general in Shuzhong. Even the later Jiang Wei was a little inferior.

There should be a Yan Yan above Zhang Ren, and Zhang Ren should be behind him. It seems that several people in Shu are not idle people. However, Xu Ji didn't care too much, after all, it was still a bit far away for him to think about Xishu now.

And the only thing that makes Xu Ji uncomfortable is that his relationship with Cai Wenji has become more and more awkward, Cai Wenji has been deliberately avoiding herself these days, apparently the result of the two talking that day.

Even if the two of them meet, it is just a polite greeting. Then they each fled in the wilderness, unspeakably embarrassed.

Seeing this situation, Xu Ji could only deceive himself and say that Cai Wenji was empathetic, and he knew that he was very busy during this time and was unwilling to disturb himself. Of course, Xu Ji only has a heart but no real thoughts, after all, his wife is on the side, although Yining doesn't seem to have any intention of stopping himself, but a woman's heart has always been unpredictable, and Xu Ji doesn't want to make a fire in his backyard.

On the contrary, Xi Zhicai, a kid who lives a very comfortable life, discusses the art of war with Xu Shu for a while, drinks and chats with Cai Yong for a while, and then runs to Cai Wenji's room to admire the guzheng, and can even play Dian Wei.

Chen Zhi was busy contacting the clerk outside the city, and Xu Shu had already left the city at this time to assist the clerk.

One day, Xu Jicai sent Cao Cao away and was relaxing in the garden.

In the end, it is late spring, looking at the red formation in this garden, Xu Ji's heart has no reason for a burst of melancholy, looking at the falling flowers that are similar year after year, Xu Ji is thinking about his life year after year, it stands to reason that he is already a successful person, and as long as he goes on unswervingly, domination of the world is just around the corner.

But Xu Ji was still a little stunned, because he had lost some things that he could never get back, including the simple blood he had at the beginning.

Human beings may be able to change history, but they are extremely limited, just like themselves, many times they are giving in, but they know in their hearts that in fact, many of their practices are already shocking.

He should be satisfied.

Forget it, my current self is really not suitable for sadness. That's not what a superior person should do.

At this moment, I saw Xi Zhicai leading a person and came in a hurry. He shouted from afar: "Lord! Who's coming? ”

Xu Ji looked at it intently and couldn't help but be surprised: "Oh! Shia? ”

The person who came was Wang Yue. A new generation of Han sword saints who became famous in Chang'an - Shi A.

Watching Shi Ana's majestic body gradually approach, Xu Ji actually had an illusion. Wang Yue came back to life at one time. But Shi Ah is undoubtedly more composed than Naishi.

I saw Shi A dressed in white like snow, and his body was so simple that there was no decoration, but it gave people a sense of nobility. With just one glance, Xu Ji could see that Shi A had completely gotten rid of the philistine spirit of the boss of the hero building, and even because he was concentrating on martial arts, Shi A now had a more cold temperament.

What's more, this Shi A has finally reached the heyday of his master, that is, the "Way of Nature", and Shi A is still so young, his future is simply limitless.

Shi A also had a hint of excitement in his expression when he saw Xu Ji. Da Lu smiled and said, "Lord, Shi Ah is here!" ”

In the midst of Da Lu's laughter, Xu Ji took Shi A's hands and sat down.

The two men looked at each other intently.

After a long time, Xu Ji sighed: "Over the past few years, I have worked hard for you. ”

Shi Ah said with a smile when he heard this: "The lord is hard, and after a few times, it is already the history of the two states." This great cause is unmatched by my great man. ”

Xu Ji smiled: "Even you come to laugh at me." ”

After a pause, Xu Ji said again: "Xi Zhicai told you, right?" ”

Shi A nodded and said, "I already understand what the lord means. In fact, as expected by the lord, the relationship between Liu He and the emperor is indeed very close, and if Liu He wants to send the emperor out of the city, it will be easy, but if it is according to the analysis of the lord. I think our chances are much greater than Liu Bei's. ”

Xu Ji said in surprise: "Why are you so sure? ”

Shi A smiled and said: "Lord, I have been by the emperor's side for nearly two years, and I know very well what kind of person the emperor is here. Don't look at the emperor's age, but the emperor knows better than anyone how to protect himself. ”

Xu Ji nodded. Of course, he knew this, when Emperor Han Xian and the stupid son of Empress Dowager He escaped. It was this Emperor Han Xian who played the role of the organizer, otherwise he would have died in the hands of the Ten Standing Servants.

Shi Ah said with a smile: "Therefore, if the emperor knows that Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan are fighting, and Gongsun Zan is very likely to fail, the emperor will definitely not follow Liu Bei to escape." And the relationship between the subordinates and the emperor is also very close, if the subordinates reveal that they are from Yanzhou, the emperor is very likely to go with the lord. ”

Xu Ji was overjoyed when he heard this, but at the same time he was awe-inspiring in his heart: it seems that his relationship with Emperor Han Xian in the future is really very important, this Emperor Han Xian is not easy to match, and the biggest characteristic of his competition for the world is that he likes to find legitimate excuses for his improper actions.

This Emperor Han Xian is a double-edged sword, if you don't get it right, you will cut your own hands, repeat the mistakes of Cao Cao, and now the only place where you have an advantage over Cao Cao in history is that you have a relationship with Emperor Han Xian, and you and Emperor Han Ling, Wang Yue, these people have a certain intersection, and they are the people who receive the will, which Emperor Han Xian himself knows very well.

And his excuse for restricting Emperor Han Xian is, of course, the last order of Emperor Han Ling.

Ha, it seems that he can really talk about the dead man of Emperor Han Ling, isn't this how the "imperial examination system" he implemented in Chenliu was concocted?

Thinking of this, Xu Ji looked at Shi Adao: "Since you are so sure, we will act according to your plan." ”

Shi A said with a smile: "My subordinates know that when we do it, it will be when Wang Yun and them will do it." ”

Xi Zhicai patted Shi Ah on the shoulder and said with a smile: "This is natural, Dong Zhuo died in chaos in the city, although Wang Yun will send someone to guard the palace, but with your internal response, it is naturally not a difficult thing to bring the emperor out of the palace." The question is how do we get out of the city gates? You must know that Wang Yun will definitely find a way to block the city gate. ”

Shi A said in a deep voice: "This is not a problem, my friend who has a life is a guard at the gate of Chang'an City, and he will naturally let us out of the city when the time comes." ”

Xi Zhicai frowned and said: "This is a solution, the question is whether this person has any relatives in Chang'an?" ”

Shi Ah shook his head and said, "How could I not know this truth? This man is still single, and there are no relatives to slow down his actions. ”

Xu Ji nodded and said, "That's good, in troubled times, after all, your relatives are the most important." It's Chang'an, let's just take this friend of yours with us. ”

Shi Ah nodded.

Xi Zhicai smiled at Shi A: "Seriously, I have long wanted to learn fencing from you, I have been thinking about it for two years, if you return to Yanzhou, you must teach me." ”

Hearing this, Shi Ah looked at Xi Zhicai up and down with a light in his eyes, and then retracted his gaze and said: "Although Mr. is studious, I'm afraid it's a little difficult, I think Mr. was once weak, and now he can be so strong is due to recuperation, if you really want blood, I'm afraid it's not easy." ”

Xi Zhicai frowned at first when he heard this, but then he was overjoyed and said: "It's okay, it's just to keep fit, Shi A, you just discipline!" ”

At this moment, Chen Zhi came in a hurry, looking at his expression, it was obvious that there was something very important, Xu Ji asked Chen Zhi to sit down, and said with a smile: "Look at Uncle Zhi's appearance, is something happening to Chang Ancheng again?" ”

Chen Zhi said in a deep voice: "The lord expected it to be right, Ma Teng really came prepared, just now, our people saw him disguised himself and went out to the Taiwei Yang Biao's mansion." ”

Xu Ji and Xi Zhicai glanced at each other, and the latter said, "It seems that Yang Biao is recruiting Ma Teng." ”

Xu Ji frowned and said: "I'm not worried about this, the problem is that I don't know if there is cooperation between Yang Biao and Wang Yun, if there is cooperation between the two, our task will be very difficult." ”

Of course, Xi Zhicai and the others understood what Xu Ji meant, if Wang Yun and Yang Biao cooperated, it would be equivalent to saying that Wang Yun could mobilize sufficient manpower.

And this is very likely, because it is impossible for Wang Yun to tell Cao Cao his details completely, maybe in Wang Yun and Yang Biao, Zhang Xiu, Lu Bu, Ma Teng, and Cao Cao are all chess pieces that can be used.

Thinking of this, Xu Ji couldn't help but stand up and said to Chen Zhi in a deep voice: "Uncle Zhi, I want you to immediately investigate how many people Ma Teng brought with him to Chang'an this time!" And where are Cao Cao's 30,000 people? ”

Chen nodded and got up. (To be continued......)
