Mi Ying was so frightened that he almost collapsed to the ground, he thought that he had met bandits, the security was not good in the past two days, and he also heard that the security was not good in the past two days, so he wanted to go back to the palace quickly, for fear of encountering bandits, but he didn't expect that he would come to whatever he was afraid of.

Mi Ying looked back tremblingly, only to see two big men in black standing behind him, staring at him fiercely, Mi Ying suddenly remembered that he seemed to have seen these two people when he left the palace, had they been staring at him?

"Two strong men. Can I help you? Mi Ying asked with a trembling voice.

"You're a eunuch in the palace?" One of them asked coldly.

A glimmer of hope suddenly rose in Mi Ying's heart, real bandits would not ask themselves like this, they would grab the money and leave, and they would care what their identity was? He nodded repeatedly, "I am!" ”

"Then please come with us!"

Mi Ying was shocked, "Where are you going?" ”

"It's not far, just follow us."

Two black-clothed men held him between him on the left and the right, blindfolded him with black cloths, and held Mi Ying hostage to an alley not far away, through the alley, to another street near the west gate, and then into an alley, and soon came to a gate.

Mi Ying felt a knife against his waist, he didn't dare to say anything all the way, and it was only at this time that he secretly glanced up from the gap in the blindfold, and faintly saw the word 'tavern' written on the plaque, it turned out that this was a tavern.

But instead of going through the main entrance, the two men in black entered the backyard of the tavern through the side door, led him all the way to a windowless hut, untied his blindfold, and pushed him inside.

The room was brightly lit, there were two black-clothed men standing on each side, and a thin black man was sitting in the middle, about fifty people, Mi Ying suddenly felt that this person was a little familiar, he thought about it carefully, suddenly remembered, pointed to the man and said in surprise: "You are." Lee joins the army! ”

This person is Li Fu, his people have been staring at Ye Palace, preparing to catch a eunuch back, but he didn't expect to catch Mi Ying back, Li Fu saw that the other party actually knew him, he also looked at it, and suddenly laughed, "It's really providence!" Since I have invited Mr. Mi. ”

At that time, Mi Ying went to Xiangyang as Liu Xie's envoy, which was the route arranged by Li Fu for him, so the two knew each other, Mi Ying suddenly understood that he was caught by the Han army, he was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he knelt on the ground, "Ask Li to join the army to spare his life!" ”

Li Fu waved his hand and asked his subordinates to retreat, and then said coldly to him: "Back then, you promised to serve His Royal Highness the King of Han, but in the end there was no news, do you know that you are guilty?" ”

Mi Ying was so frightened that tears and snot flowed together, and he begged: "I haven't forgotten it, it's just that I don't know how to serve His Highness, so I've been ignorant all these years." ”

Mi Ying didn't dare to say that he had served Cao Cao and betrayed Queen Fu, although in the end Cao Cao also kicked him away and no longer used him, but the matter of Queen Fu has always been his heart disease, but Li Fu didn't know that this palace case was Mi Ying's secret troublemaker, he also remembered that he really didn't look for Mi Ying, no wonder he had no effect, no task at all, how to work?

Li Fu's tone was also much softened, and he waved his hand and said, "Mr. Mi, please sit down!" ”

Mi Ying felt the change in Li Fu's tone, and actually let himself sit down, he secretly shouted luck in his heart, so he sat down tremblingly, Li Fu was ordered by Chang'an, so that he could learn more about the current situation of Liu Xie, the son of heaven.

Because Cao Cao strictly forbade officials to see Liu Xie, Liu Xie was actually under house arrest in disguise, and there was no way to know his situation from outsiders, Li Fu could only fight the idea of the eunuchs in the palace, and he had been sending people to ambush outside the palace for the past two days, waiting for the opportunity to catch a eunuch and come back, but he didn't expect that the person he caught turned out to be Mi Ying, and it was really providential.

Li Fu was in a good mood, so he asked with a smile: "How is Manager Mi doing?" ”

Mi Ying sighed, "Although I am still the third chief in name, in fact, I am not even as good as a great eunuch, and I bring three subordinates to clean up the filth in the palace, which is sad to say." ”

Li Fu was also a little surprised, and asked puzzledly: "Why is Mr. Mi so downcast?" ”

Mi Ying gritted his teeth and said: "It's all that ruthless and unrighteous plague man, I have served him for nearly twenty years, and now that he is old, he was kicked away like a dog." ”

Li Fu had also heard that Mi Ying had an ambiguous relationship with Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, and now this Mi Ying is really not as handsome as he was back then, only a fat body remains, and his face is swollen like a pig, no wonder Liu Xie began to dislike him.

Li Fu nodded, "Then if His Royal Highness the King of Han wants to use you now, are you still willing to serve?" ”

Mi Ying fell to his knees, he was so excited that he almost cried, "Yes, how could I be unwilling." ”

Li Fu smiled, asked him to sit down, and asked him again, "Can you go out of the palace at will?" ”

Mi Ying shook his head, "Only the cook can go out of the palace to buy ingredients, I have a very good relationship with the cook, today he is sick, I will wear his bronze medal and go out of the palace for him." ”

"What are you doing when you go out of the palace at night?" Li Fu was so old and spicy, he immediately heard the language problem in the other party's words.

Mi Ying was stunned for a moment, he lowered his head, and had to tell the truth: "Don't hide that Li joined the army, I came out to sell candlesticks, I was deceived by the palace people to gamble, I was in debt, in desperation, I had to steal the things in the palace and sell them for money, tomorrow is the day of interest, if you don't pay the interest, you will be beaten to death by the evil slaves in the palace, but I only have five hundred dollars now, what will I do tomorrow?" ”

Speaking of sadness, Mi Ying almost cried, Li Fu heard it unbelievably, half loud, he sighed: "The Palace of the Son of Heaven, it has fallen to this point? ”

"What is the Son of Heaven, no one has long regarded him as the Son of Heaven, if it weren't for the two Cao Guiren, he might not even be able to eat, we call him a plague man and a waste in private, who in the world doesn't know that the real Han Dynasty Son of Heaven is in Chang'an."

"Then Liu Xie thinks the same way?"

"Him?" Mi Ying sneered, "I'm afraid he can't wait to skin the King of Han and eat all the flesh of the King of Han." ”

"What are you talking nonsense?" Li Fu scolded unhappily.

Mi Ying realized that he had missed his words, and quoted Liu Xie's original words, so frightened that he fell to his knees again, kowtowing and begging for mercy.

Li Fu also knew that he was unintentional, so he said to him: "I may be able to help you, but you must serve the King of Han, what I want you to do, you must not delay it at all, otherwise, I will cut you with a thousand knives!"

Mi Ying was both scared and grateful, tears and snot flowed together, and he only kowtowed, Li Fu ordered: "Take fifty taels of gold!" ”

Mi Ying was stunned, fifty taels of gold were worth fifty thousand dollars in Ye, although he wanted it very much, but he knew that if so much gold was taken into the palace, it would inevitably be snatched away by those evil slaves, and he said in a low voice: "Only five taels is enough." ”

Li Fu looked at him in surprise, the eunuch Mi, who had always been greedy for money, was actually polite, Li Fu smiled and said: "You can use gold to buy some people, for your future mission convenience, if it is not enough, I will give it to you again." ”

"Yes! I understand. At this time, Mi Ying's mind suddenly changed, and he thought that he could hide the gold there.

．．．．．．．．．

In Zhong Xuan's study, Zhong Xuan and Chen Qun are sitting opposite each other drinking, there are a few plates of small dishes on the small table, and two bottles of wine are warmed in the copper wine bottle next to it.

Zhong Xuan's mansion also hid more than a dozen bottles of good wine, it is rare to take it out and drink it today, Chen Qun is Xun Yu's son-in-law, although he is not Cao Zhi's faction, but he himself is more inclined to Cao Zhi, it is under his persuasion that Cao Cao decided to transfer Cao Zhi back to Yedu, which made Cao Pi hate him to the core.

Cao Cao's serious illness made Chen Qun's mood not very good, he drank a few more glasses of wine tonight, he was a little out of shape, he picked up the cup of wine and drank it all, and said with a sense of wine: "I didn't expect Wei Gong to be so sick and weak, I quietly asked the imperial doctor of Tongque Palace today, although he refused in every way, but in the end he couldn't resist me, so he had to hint to me that Wei Gong's previous physical recovery was not really recovered, but just a kind of return to the light, this time Wei Gong is old again, and the time is probably not long." ”

Zhong Miao was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "When does this 'soon' mean?" ”

"I can't tell, but I personally reason, it's only a year at most!"

Both of them stopped talking, they thought of the same thing, once Duke Wei died and Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, would they have a good end? At this time, Chen Qun sighed and asked, "Zhong Gong, do you think the third prince still has a chance to take the position?" ”

Zhong Xuan shook his head, "If Duke Wei is healthy, maybe he still has hope, but Duke Wei's body is weak and precarious, he will never consider establishing a new heir again, even if he likes the third prince again, he will not do anything to shake the foundation of the country." ”

Chen Qun was silent, Zhong Miao and Xun You are close friends in life and death, and Chen Qun's father Chen Ji also has a deep friendship, and Chen Qun is the son-in-law of the Xun family, it is these two relationships that make Zhong Miao particularly concerned about Chen Qun.

Zhong Miao understood Chen Qun's worries, he was the middle of the imperial history, and he was extremely powerful in his hands, once Cao Pi ascended the throne, the first one would attack Chen Qun, and after a while, Zhong Miao said slowly: "Tonight, I invited my nephew to come over and drink, in fact, I want to take this opportunity to persuade my nephew to go to the Han Kingdom to join the government, participate in the great cause of recovering the Han family, and not dishonor the ancestors." ”

Maybe it was because Chen Qun drank a few more glasses, but he blurted out, "Why doesn't Zhong Gong Shihan?" ”

After speaking, he knew that he had lost his words, and hurriedly apologized, "Chen Qun drank too much wine, and he didn't choose what to say, Zhong Gong don't blame him!" ”

Zhong Miao sighed slightly, "I really don't hide it from my nephew, I went to Jiaozhou last year, and when I came back, I went to the Han Kingdom to have a deep conversation with the King of Han. ”

Chen Qun was stunned, Liu Jing valued Zhong Xuan so much, and he asked urgently: "Then why did Zhong Gong refuse?" ”

"It's hard to be human!"

Zhong Miao smiled bitterly: "I was a messenger at the time, how could I agree?" After coming back, Cao Pi instructed Yang Tian to impeach me for fornicating with the Han Kingdom, and also found a witness, I really can't say clearly, if Wei Gong is more serious, I can be sentenced to fornicate with the Han Kingdom, so it's just that, but Wei Gong suppressed the impeachment, ignored it, and publicly said, Yuan Chang will never fail me! In this case, how can I betray him again and go to the Han Kingdom? ”

Chen Qun also sighed: "In this way, I missed Zhong Gong's future. ”

"The two countries are fighting, there is nothing wrong or wrong, and Wei is not bad, but after the prince succeeds to the throne, he wants to eradicate dissidents, we can't escape the net, I'm still a little better, he doesn't dare to do too much, but it's hard to say about the virtuous nephew, so I advise the virtuous nephew to seek a way out as soon as possible, and don't die unjustly in prison."

Chen Qun knew that Zhong Xuan was right, he had also thought about it repeatedly in the past two years, he had made many envoys to the Han Kingdom, Liu Jing attached great importance to him, especially hoped that he would preside over the formulation of the new Han law, how could Chen Qun not be tempted, but he, like Zhong Xuan, also felt Cao Cao's kindness and couldn't bear to betray.

But now seeing that Wei Gong's time is running out, and his danger is approaching day by day, especially today, Cao Pi's indifference to him makes him feel a chill, and there is not much time left for him, if Zhong Miao doesn't persuade him tonight, he may still hesitate, but it is Zhong Xuan's persuasion that makes him finally make up his mind, even Zhong Xuan persuades him to go, what else is there to hesitate.

He nodded slowly, "Zhong Gong is right, it's time for me to make a difference." ”
