In the hazy morning, Wang Xu sat at the stone table in the pavilion, enjoying the pastries made by the maid Xiao Zhen, leisurely reviewing the latest information of the spy. It's a pity that I watched it for a long time, but I couldn't stop sighing. "Hey! It's so miserable! ”

"What's so miserable?" Hearing his emotion, Xu Shu, who was sitting opposite and tinkering with embroidery, couldn't help but raise her head slightly and blinked curiously.

"Of course it's Luoyang, many old acquaintances are dead, and I feel a little emotional." Wang Xu smiled slightly.

Hearing that Wang Xu was referring to this, Xu Shu suddenly lost interest, put her attention back on her hand, and said boringly: "What's so emotional, according to me, most of them deserve to die." Like Fan Ling, Xu Xiang and others, who were once ranked as the third duke, they colluded with Zhang Rang's group of eunuchs and wolves, framed Zhongliang, bullied the people, and died less harmful. ”

"Huh! When did that happen, I'm talking about Dong Zhuo! He has killed a lot of people recently, and he has just been forcibly promoted to Xiangguo, and he has done a lot of things to destroy his family. As he spoke, the corners of Wang Xu's mouth showed a slight smile, looking at the misty sparkle in the pool, and said to himself: "It should be soon!" Calm days won't last long! ”

"Xiangguo? So fast? Xu Shu glanced at him in surprise, but said suspiciously: "Didn't you say that Dong Zhuo abolished the emperor first and then became the Xiangguo?" Besides, it's too fast! How long has he been in Beijing? ”

"What's so strange about that?" Hearing Xu Shu's inquiry, Wang Xu couldn't help but withdraw his gaze from afar, and said with a slight smile: "How many people did Dong Zhuo enter Beijing in history?" But how many people does he have now? The changes in the situation of the Xiliang war made Dong Zhuo, a speculator, collapse. Coupled with the fact that the situation has changed somewhat across the country, this is not surprising. As for the abolition of the emperor, he is already doing it, and Liang Rui's information is about his conspiracy to abolish the emperor. For this reason, Yuan Shao also drew his sword at the banquet and angrily reprimanded Dong Zhuo. If you count the time when this letter came from Luoyang, then now, it may have been renamed the nine-year-old Chen Liuwang Liu Xie as the emperor. And Yuan Shao should also flee Luoyang overnight and go to Hebei. I believe it won't be two days. The court will issue an official document. ”

"Oh!" There was a squeak. Xu Shu buried her head in thought, but asked with some curiosity: "Then why didn't Dong Zhuo kill Yuan Shao on the spot?" Avoid the troubles, and let him run away. ”

"Hehe, you underestimate Dong Zhuo!" Wang Xu glanced at Xu Shu with a smile, picked up the teacup and blew it, took a sip to moisten his throat, and then continued: "Actually, Dong Zhuo is very smart. You see. Since taking power, he first overturned the case for the party affairs of the year, and then vigorously recruited famous people with high prestige to enter Beijing as officials. He also generously rewarded meritorious people, such as Han Fu as the pastor of the state, Bao Xin as the Taishou of Taishan, and transferred to the pastor of Yuzhou Huang Wan to return to Beijing to be the third duke. Kong Ling was appointed as the assassin of Yuzhou, Liu Dai was appointed as the assassin of Yanzhou, and so on. Didn't you also issue an official document last month, wanting to summon Cai Yong into the court? ”

In fact, these are just to win people's hearts, and if he is not so eager to realize his ambitions, maybe he can really get support. It was precisely because he wanted to really control the world that he didn't dare to move Yuan Shao. You can think about it, now that the Yuan family has the best reputation in the world, what does it mean to kill him? A protégé of the Yuan family. The powerful will revolt. Moreover. After Yuan Shu entered Beijing, he had already taken the tiger warrior to Nanyang County in Jingbei. At present, the army is strong and strong, how can it not be opposed? Dong Zhuo has the heart to appease the world, and he will not do that. ”

After listening to Wang Xu's analysis quietly, Xu Shu also understood, but then she smiled "poof" and opened her mouth to sarcastically: "This Dong Zhuo is really stupid, he wasted so much scheming in vain, but he didn't expect that these people would all oppose him in the future, and it would be better not to appoint." ”

"That's not the case, this has nothing to do with the people he appointed, unless he doesn't want to die, and all his cronies and generals are dispatched, otherwise it doesn't make much difference who goes, and it will still be the opposite. It's just that Han Fu and these people have high ability and merit, so they bumped into each other by fate. ”

Hearing this, Xu Shu thought about it and nodded approvingly. But then he suddenly looked at Wang Xu and said with a strange smile: "Then you say, why didn't he recruit you to Beijing?" Your royal family is also a wealthy family! ”

"Huh? You don't know that he has called me? Wang Xuqi said.

"Summoned you? When? Xu Shu first looked at Wang Xu suspiciously, but then gave him a blank look, and said angrily: "You haven't told me yet, how do I know?" ”

"Oh! I've been busy lately, and I was going to come back to tell you about it that day, but I may have forgotten about it later! Saying that, Wang Xu smiled apologetically before explaining: "Actually, after he summoned Cai Yong last month and was blocked by me, he thought that I was not satisfied with my failure to be promoted, so he summoned me to Luoyang to be one of the nine kings, Guangluxun, and let me lead the soldiers and horses of the Luoyang Lang Bureau, which can be regarded as generous." It's just that I don't even bother to pay attention to him, and if it weren't for the nominal thing, I wouldn't even want to reply to the letter. ”

"And what happened to you?" Xu Shu suddenly asked curiously.

"Hey, hey! Didn't he shirk the court at the beginning, saying that the soldiers had been dependent on him for a long time, and they were attached to his kindness of animal husbandry, so they were only willing to serve him? Then he asked to lead them in the north and guard the border for the imperial court. In that case, of course I'll copy it and give it back to him! ”

Hearing this, Xu Shu suddenly smiled and glanced at him charmingly: "You are really slippery!" If he is not allowed to play, he will slap himself in the face and openly admit that there was a conspiracy in the first place. It's really shameless, I don't know how much he hates you now. ”

"Hate as much as hate! Anyway, sooner or later, I will tear my face, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, what can he do to me? Wang Xu pursed his lips disdainfully and waved his hand nonchalantly. If he has the ability, then come and crusade against me! I want to see if he dares to lead his troops out of Luoyang. As for informing the states and counties to fight, I think he can command whom? Liu Biao? Liu Yan? Forget it, they didn't raise troops to attack Dong Zhuo, they were already old Dong Zu burning high incense, and they beat me for him? ”

"Tsk, look at your smugness, like a soil emperor!" Although she knew that what Wang Xu said was the truth, when she saw his smug look, Xu Shu pursed her lips disdainfully.

"What's the matter with the Earth Emperor? Now all the warlords, which one is not the Emperor of the Earth? Unless the nine-year-old Liu Xie can be as eloquent as emperors such as Han Wu and Kangxi, otherwise he will not be saved in this world. It's a pity that he is far worse than Kangxi, who ascended the throne at the age of eight and was pro-government at the age of fourteen. Otherwise, I can consider assisting Liu Xie well, stabilizing the situation, and expanding the territory. Speaking of this, Wang Xu's tone suddenly became low. Shook his head. I don't want to say any more.

Xu Shu also knew what was on his mind, glanced at him gently, and comforted him softly: "Okay, husband!" Don't talk about this, he can't do it, let's do it ourselves! As long as I work hard, there will always be a day to promote the prestige of my Chinese country. ”

"That's right! Do it yourself, is there still a lack of heroes and heroes on the land of China? Hearing Xu Shu's consolation, Wang Xu also nodded heavily, his fists clenched slightly, and his eyes looked firmly at the distant sky.

What Xu Shu likes to see most is Wang Xu's appearance at the moment, and she likes the look that bloomed at that moment......

I stared at it for a long time. Only then did he change the topic softly: "By the way, did you inform Cai Yong about Yang Xu's death?" ”

"Huh? Oh! No need to notice, he knows! Wang Xu, who was called back to his senses, shook his head and said.

"He knows? Then why didn't you see him go to the sheep's house to mourn? Isn't he still hiding a son and a daughter in the sheep house? ”

Hearing this, Wang Xu suddenly stretched out his hand, pinched Xu Shu's lovely face, and said with a smile: "Little fool." How could a sheep who was so good suddenly die violently. He's playing dead! Dong Zhuo summoned him to Beijing as an official, and he knew that he would not be able to come back if he went. It's a way to get out, it is estimated that they are all going back to Taishan's hometown now, what kind of funeral is Cai Yong going to? ”

"Oops! Don't pinch my face. Forcefully slapped Wang Xu's hand away, Xu Shucai rubbed his cheeks and scolded angrily: "Who knows that one of you is more cunning than the other!" ”

"Forget it! How good are you? Who calculated Zhang Liang back then? That's a poisonous scheme! People say that the most poisonous woman's heart, and it is true. Wang Xu also raised his eyebrows and replied not to be outdone.

"I hate it, that's not for you, you still talk about people!" Xu Shumei was stunned, and said aggrievedly: "Besides, it's a battlefield, don't count others, you can only be calculated." I was worried about your situation at the time, but I couldn't help it. ”

"Hehe, you also understand this truth! But this kind of conspiracy and struggle is more terrible than the battlefield, killing people without using knives, dead people don't see blood, they are not smart, but they are eaten to the bones! And what can be done? ”

"Okay, got it! Little fools. Hearing this, Xu Shu smiled sweetly, but pinched Wang Xu's face in turn!

"Ahem!!" Just when the two were flirting and scolding, a woman coughing heavily suddenly came from the side.

"Yikes! Sister Wanqing, why do you have time to come over. Turning her head and seeing that it was Ling Wanqing, Xu Shu immediately greeted her with a happy smile.

"Hehe, I just came from Luoyang with another secret letter, and I sent it to the lord." Ling Wanqing smiled slightly.

"Oh? What's up? Hearing another news, Wang Xu suddenly frowned. arrived within a day, indicating that Liang Rui must have been in a hurry when he asked people to deliver the second letter.

"It's not a business matter, it's a private matter of the lord, that's why it's so urgent." Seeing Wang Xu's expression, Ling Wanqing also knew what he was thinking, and even opened his mouth to explain.

"Oh? Personal? Wang Xu first glanced at Ling Wanqing suspiciously, but then reacted. Surprised: "Is there news of Diao Chan?" ”

"Hmm!" With a charming smile, Ling Wanqing twisted Qianqian's thin waist and walked slowly towards the pavilion. "Liang Rui sent his subordinates to visit Wang Yun with your letter, and it has been confirmed that Diao Chan left the palace on the night of the chaos a few months ago, and is currently in Wang Yun's mansion."

Wang Xu was really overjoyed at this time, and he had promised Diao Chan that he would rush to Luoyang to pick her up. But who knew that the plan could not catch up with the changes, not to mention the time in advance, and the development of events was unexpectedly fast. Before he had time to leave, Liang Rui had already reported that the palace had changed greatly. And because she had been instructed by Wang Xu, she also took advantage of the night of chaos to sneak into the palace with her subordinates, but unfortunately she did not find Diao Chan.

Although Liang Rui's reply assured that there was no damage to the female in the palace that night, except for the eunuchs. Moreover, after the third watch, the soldiers and generals all chased the eunuchs, and there were no guards in the imperial city, so they should have escaped from the palace. But Wang Xu is still not at ease, the generals and soldiers really dare not invade the women in the palace, but after escaping from the palace, Diao Chan and Cui'er, the two women, what should they do if they encounter gangsters in the middle of the night?

Therefore, he immediately wrote a letter urging Liang Rui to find Diao Chan, and at the same time asked her to go to Wang Yun, who had not long returned to Beijing, to investigate. It's a pity that Liang Rui tried every means to visit Wang Yun several times, but he couldn't get an audience. As a last resort, I can only reply to Wang Xu. As a result, Wang Xu wrote a letter in person and brought a token and a letter to prove it. It's just that this back and forth, plus the delay on both sides, and the time to deliver the letter, has dragged on for so long.

Waving his hand to take the message handed by Ling Wanqing, after quickly browsing it, Wang Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Husband, how's it going? What does the letter say? Xu Shu also asked a little eagerly.

"It's all good, many palace maids escaped from the palace that night when the imperial city was empty after the chaos. Diao Chan and Cui'er also remembered my words, changed into ordinary women's clothes, and went to Wang Yun with a few good palace maids. After the death of Emperor Ling, He Jin valued Wang Yun very much, and now Dong Zhuo also attaches great importance to him as a celebrity, coupled with his own experience over the years, he has learned to forbear, so Diao Chan is temporarily worry-free with him. ”

Hearing this, Xu Shu also breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking of the little girl who held her hand tightly and followed behind timidly, she couldn't help but show a smile on her face. "Husband, then hurry up and take her over! The world is going to be in chaos, but don't have any accidents. ”

"Hmm!" Wang Xu immediately nodded solemnly, and after thinking about it for a while, he turned his head to Ling Wanqing and said, "You immediately write a letter to Liang Rui and let her be a matchmaker, I want to take Diao Chan as a concubine." The dowry and my handwritten letter will be brought to you later. ”

"No!" Ling Wan smiled softly and bowed.

"Also, before I leave Luoyang with Diao Chan, I must not expose my marriage to Wang Yunyi's daughter, and I must rush back to Jingnan as soon as possible. Wang Yun there, I will personally say it in the letter. After Diao Chan and his party are safe, they can be made public. ”

"Don't worry, the slave family and Liang Rui both understand that they won't go on a business trip." Seeing Wang Xu telling her in every possible way, Ling Wanqing smiled charmingly, and also solemnly gave a promise!

"Okay, let's do it!"

"Subordinates retire!" (To be continued, if you want to know what happens, please log in to the http://www.biquge.info.)
