Chapter 236: Chaos in Chang'an (2)

Lu Bu saw the scorching light that burst out of Chen Zhihu's eyes, and the temperament of the whole person suddenly changed significantly, Lu Bu in fiery red clothes burned uncontrollably like the fiery red sun over the desert, anyone who approached Lu Bu couldn't help but be shocked by this momentum, and they all felt that their souls were being burned by the barbecue, and a sense of despair filled everyone's hearts, and people couldn't help but want to shout out, until Lu Bu completely walked past them, this feeling gradually disappeared, But he had already collapsed and sweated.

Chen Zhi's eyes immediately deepened, and the vastness seemed to be boundless land.

Finally, the two stood face to face, looking at each other without evasion.

Of course, Xu Ji hid himself deeply, Lu Bu was no stranger to him, it was not difficult for this top martial artist to identify the details of his makeup, and at this time Xu Ji also knew that he was not the protagonist. There is usually a so-called tacit understanding between martial artists, such as the current relationship between Lu Bu and Chen Zhi, even if the two of them close their eyes, they can still judge who is on the other side from the feeling.

Xu Ji and Lu Bu had also met on the battlefield and commanded the army to fight, although there was only one time, but Lu Bu should have firmly remembered himself, so Xu Ji did not dare to take it lightly.

As soon as Lu Bu appeared, Dian Wei, Zhang Xiu, and immediately all of them were compared.

Lu Bu first glanced at Li Su, who was about to talk to him, waved his hand, stopped Li Su, and glanced at Xu Jidao: "I know that this is the envoy of Yanzhou, Lejin." ”

Xu Ji did not feel the slightest displeasure, but secretly rejoiced in his heart, of course, not because he was ignored but because he successfully deceived Lu Bu's eyes. In other words, Lu Bu didn't care about himself at all. So it seems that he is very successful. Others saw Xu Ji silent. But he mistakenly thought that this joy and anger were invisible, and the city was very deep. I can't help but have a higher evaluation of this fake Lejin. Under the gaze of others, Xu Ji didn't say a word, but just arched his hand to Lu Bu, with an attitude that was neither humble nor arrogant.

This time, even Lu Bu glanced at Xu Ji in surprise, and couldn't help but look Xu Ji up and down, seeing that Xu Ji's heart was a little hairy, and secretly hoped that he would not have any flaws that would be discovered by the other party.

Fortunately, Lu Bu's target was Chen Dao, so he quickly withdrew his gaze. Turning his head, he looked at Chen Dao, who was looking directly at him, and said proudly: "Chen Dao, I haven't seen you for a long time, but I often think of you in Chang'an!" ”

Chen Zhi sneered slightly, and said coldly: "Wen Hou just thinks about it from time to time?" Chen Zhi didn't dare to forget it for a day, it was a big pity that I didn't have the opportunity to fight with the general when the lord ordered me first. ”

Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled and said, "That's a good point." How about a big fight one day? ”

Chen Zhi said inscrutablely: "What is Wen Hou anxious about? Are you afraid that there will be no chance? ”

Lu Bu looked at Chen Dao and said with a sudden smile: "Now I am looking forward to this fight between you and me more and more, but I don't know if the master Xu Ji is still afraid to order his subordinates to attack?" General Chen might as well tell Master Ling that one person has too many schemes. will have distractions, but I am afraid that I will delay the right thing. Xu Ji was shocked when he heard this, and felt that Lu Bu had hit the point. This is not just about martial arts, but in any way this truth is absolutely good. Although I don't know why Lu Bu asked Chen to bring such a sentence. But Xu Ji himself has benefited a lot.

Chen Zhi glanced at Xu Ji, who was standing next to him silently, and said with a slight smile: "How can my lord disappoint the general?" I'm afraid that there will be too many surprises when the general sees my lord in the future! You must know that our lord is well aware of the world's best way of 'gentleman with five virtues'. Everything is under control, so why be afraid? ”

When Lu Bu heard this, he looked up to the sky and smiled, which attracted everyone's sideways, and then his face turned cold, and he shouted: "Okay! I must take a look at it when I have the chance

The people next to them were surprised, they didn't expect this Chen Dao's eloquence to be so good, and he could not give an inch to the high-flying and domineering Lu Bu.

Xu Ji's eyes flashed with a fine light, obviously grasping the meaning of Chen Zhi's words, yes, "Everything in the world has one reason", since he has come to the end of the realm of "seeking himself", why not find another way? Chen Dao's words are a direction, he knows the "way of seeking himself", but how much do he know about the "way" of other things? It can be said that his ideological realm is still within the five virtues, and he is far from reaching the realm of a "gentleman".

Chen Zhi's words also made Xu Ji's eyes suddenly brighten, an unprecedented realm was displayed in front of Xu Ji's eyes, and at the same time, Xu Ji also knew that although the two belonged to civil and military affairs, the truth was average, judging from the words just now, Chen Zhi's martial arts decided to enter a new realm.

This group of people is arguing here, their voices are loud, and there are celebrities like Lu Bu, so everyone's eyes in the hall have gathered, and they heard Chen Zhi's name, so many people know that Lu Dao was originally standing here It was the envoy Le Jin and his party sent by Xu Ji, the assassin of Yanzhou. That's why a lot of people are coming this way. Obviously, I want to be close to this "Lejin" set that I have never heard of.

Lu Bu no longer looked at Chen Dao, let alone the crowd that gradually came over, looked at Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu with a heroic attitude, and said with a smile: "Zhang Xiu, your eyes are sharper than before, congratulations." ”

Zhang Xiu smiled slightly, and did not answer, showing a good cultivation, Lu Bu naturally knew Zhang Xiu's deep temper, and he didn't care, and said to Zhang Ji: "Lord Zhang, I don't know where Mr. Jia Xu is?" Didn't you attend today's banquet? ”

As soon as Lu Bufu appeared, he shocked everyone with his extraordinary bearing, and compared to him, the dim starlight next to Haoyue was simply not worth mentioning. Xu Ji is self-sufficient, and Chen Dao's temperament is not ostentatious, not to mention that under the cultivation of Xu Ji and Guo Jia, they are already as indifferent as water, as for Zhang Xiu and Dian Wei, they are slightly inferior, so no one in the audience can overwhelm Lu Bu's momentum.

Therefore, as soon as Lu Bu asked, Zhang Ji said in a suppressed tone: "Mr. Wenhe has already arrived, and he is chatting with Lord Chen Deng and Lord Cao Bao from Xuzhou. With that, he pointed his finger.

When Lu Bu heard this, he turned his head to look. Xu Ji and others also turned their heads. looked in the direction of Chen Deng and the others.

With just one glance, Xu Ji had already determined who Jia Xu was. He was standing next to Chen Deng, dressed in black. He was talking to Chen Deng and Cao Bao with a smile, although his face was full of smiles. But it gives people a feeling of ice and snow that is frozen through their hearts, and it is simply two extremes with Lu Bu.

Lu Bu obviously admired Jia Xu very much, and shouted loudly: "Wenhe! Jia Xu followed the prestige, and when he saw that it was Lu Bu, he walked over here with Chen Deng and Cao Bao.

At this time, many people had already gathered around Xu Ji, and Li Su took advantage of the time when Lu Bu was waiting for Jia Xu to come over, and began to introduce Xu Ji one by one.

Among them, Xu Ji was most impressed by the fierce general Hua Xiong, Zhang Ren, the messenger of Liu Yan, the assassin of Yizhou, and Ma Teng of Xiliang.

Hua Xiong is sturdy, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist. is in his thirties, he looks strong and solid, his face is like bronze, there is a scar on his face, and he looks a little terrifying, but it is also ironclad evidence of his experience, but what makes Xu Ji pay the most attention is that Hua Xiong's pair of eyes have no performance at all, when looking at others. Even if you are smiling, it is like looking at a dead thing, which makes people feel frightened and chilled.

Xu Ji immediately designated him as the most difficult type of person to deal with, because this kind of person disregarded his own life and death and that of others. It's the most difficult.

Zhang Ren is the same age as himself, with a steady demeanor and a kind face. Laugh before speaking, and be tall and tall. Handsome in face and extraordinary in appearance. Gives a good impression. However, this was only a superficial illusion, because Xu Ji always felt that there were other Dongyou in his eyes that were diametrically opposed to this appearance, which made him realize that Zhang Ren was the kind of person who smiled and hid the knife. The reason why Xu Ji felt this way was because when Li Su introduced himself to Zhang Ren, a trace of murderous intent flashed in this Zhang Ren's eyes, if it weren't for Xu Ji's amazing observation, he wouldn't have noticed this fleeting look at all. Xu Ji was strange in his heart, he didn't understand why Zhang Ren had such an expression, you must know that the two of them obviously met for the first time, if it was said that Le Jin and this Zhang Ren originally had a grudge, it would be even more impossible, otherwise Le Jin would tell him. This matter can only be taken to heart and investigated slowly.

Xiliang Ma Teng is very imposing, majestic as a mountain, with a purple and gold face, a pair of tiger eyes like copper bells, thick bones, and a body of muscles that seem to have inexhaustible strength, but this Ma Teng obviously has a good family education, and a gentle and elegant temperament comes to his face, but the light that flickers from time to time in the tiger's eyes shows that this person is extraordinary.

The thing that disappointed Xu Ji was that the person standing next to Ma Teng was not Ma Chao, but a heroic-looking man, with a square face, a tall nose, clear and distinct outlines, his eyes seemed to be open and closed, and there were flashes of light from time to time. After Xu Ji felt slightly disappointed, he immediately understood that the person in front of him should be a fierce general under Ma Teng, and Pang De Pang Lingming, whose skills were by no means under Guan Yu.

There were some other people who said hello to Xu Ji, where did Xu Ji remember, but an old man who had been watching coldly not far away attracted Xu Ji's attention, Xu Ji looked at this person and felt very familiar, after a while, he remembered that this person was Situ Wang Yun, and he had a relationship with this person when he was in Luoyang, but unfortunately he really didn't have a deep impression of Wang Yun, so it took a long time to react.

Wang Yun's indifference to himself should have something to do with Cai Yong, after all, the two never said a word after they fell out, which is also sad, Wang Yun is stubborn and self-serving, but Cai Yong is an old child, naΓ―ve and calm, of course he would not think of repairing the relationship with Wang Yun. So the more the two of them get into trouble, the stiffer they become, that's a very normal thing.

At this moment, Jia Xu, Chen Deng and Cao Bao came to Xu Ji's side, under Li Su's introduction, the two sides greeted each other, Xu Ji knew that he had already fought with Jia Xu, but it was impossible for Jia Xu in front of him to recognize him.

Jia Xu looked at Xu Ji with cold eyes for a long time, but greeted him lukewarmly, and of course Xu Ji coped with it without leaking. When Chen Deng saw Xu Ji, he still had the same attitude, but Cao Bao was arrogant, quite a bit of "one person attains the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven", and talked to Xu Ji without hesitation.

Lu Bu on the side patted Jia Xu on the shoulder and said, "Wenhe, I haven't seen you for a long time, didn't you come here today and didn't talk to me?" ”

Jia Xu glanced around and said indifferently: "The Prime Minister's Mansion is an important place, I am just a small business, where can I be qualified to enter and exit at will?" Wen Hou Mo wants to scare me. ”

Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Jia Xu meant, knowing that Jia Xu was a wise man to protect himself, and he didn't want to give Li Ru any chance to clean himself up, but the relationship between Lu Bu and Li Ru was also quite good, so Lu Bu naturally couldn't say anything.

Jia Xu glanced at Lu Bu and said with a smile: "That's right." Wenhou, why did you come out? Don't you need you there? ”

Lu Bu said with a smile: "The prime minister is discussing some personnel transfers with Lord Li Ru. It will come later. ”

Jia Xu nodded and said to Lu Bu: "Wen Hou." These two were the envoys from Xuzhou, Lord Chen Deng and General Cao Bao. Because of Jia Xu's reasons, Lu Bu, who has always been cold and arrogant, was very enthusiastic about these two people, and explained that because he had something today, he was not there when Chen Deng and Cao Bao arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, otherwise they would have known the two a long time ago.

Chen Deng was able to cope with the wall grass with ease, but Cao Bao was obviously attracted by Lu Bu's extraordinary temperament, and looked at Lu Bu in front of him dumbfounded. Obviously, I like Lu Bu very much.

Although Xu Ji was talking to the people around him, he had been observing the people who were talking to Lu Bu, and when he saw that Jia Xu could talk to Lu Bu so freely, he secretly praised Jia Xu in his heart.

However, Xu Ji was very strange why Jia Xu, Chen Deng and Cao Bao had such a close relationship, but he felt that the corners of his clothes were being ripped off, and when he looked back, it turned out to be Xi Zhicai, who looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, Xu Ji hurriedly told the people around him to spare it. took Xi Zhicai to a corner outside the hall and talked to Xi Zhicai.

Xi Zhicai was also not polite, and said to Xu Ji in a deep voice: "Lord, there was news from Youzhou just now. Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan finally fought, winning and losing each other, and were in a stalemate. ”

Xu Ji didn't expect Liu Yu to make a move on Gongsun Chan so soon. couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately sighed: "This Liu Yu really doesn't know how to use soldiers." If I were him, I would never choose to do it at this time. Instead, it should wait for the three Liu Bei brothers to come back. If you are not familiar with all aspects of preparation, how can you win? ”

Xi Zhicai Zou Mei said: "Could it be because of the relationship between Liu Bei and Gongsun Zhan?" Liu Yu wanted to start a war with Gongsun Zhan, so he naturally had to avoid Liu Bei. ”

Xu Ji then remembered that Xi Zhicai still didn't know about Lu Dao Guangwu's death, and hurriedly told Xi Zhicai about it, and the latter was extremely surprised after hearing it, obviously he didn't expect that there was such an inside story.

"However," Xu Ji touched his chin and smiled: "If Liu Yu and Gongsun Chan are at war, once Liu Bei gets the news, he will probably immediately find a way out for himself, right?" ”

Xi Zhicai said with a smile: "This is natural, Liu Yu is not Gongsun Zhan's opponent, sooner or later he will be defeated in the hands of Gongsun Zhan, and with Gongsun Zhan's ruthlessness, he will definitely take Liu Yu's life, you must know that Liu Bei's mission on this trip is to take the emperor, but once Liu Yu dies, this matter will immediately become meaningless." Because without Liu Yu's protection, Liu Bei has nowhere to hide, and he should know this. ”

Xu Ji sighed and said: "Gongsun Chan is a puppet who only cares about his immediate interests, and he is even more obsessed with losing at my hands, and he is not interested in the Son of Heaven at all. Even if Liu Bei brought the emperor back to Youzhou, what could he do? Gongsun Zhan would only think that Liu Bei was making trouble for himself. ”

After a pause, he said: "And Liu Bei should understand that Youzhou is in chaos, and the person who gets Youzhou the most is me Xu Ji, in this case, of course, the ambitious Liu Bei will not return to Youzhou, which has no place for himself." ”

Xi Zhicai nodded and asked, "By the way, lord, what about Liu Beiren?" I don't know if he knows the news now. ”

Xu Ji shook his head and said: "I shouldn't know the Dao, because no one will be faster than us in transmitting information, and Liu Bei won't know the Dao until tomorrow." But now that Liu Bei is still in the future, I don't know what happened to Lu Dao. ”

Immediately, Xu Ji remembered what had just happened, and hurriedly asked Xi Zhicai, who sneered again and again after hearing it, and said to Xu Ji: "The lord doesn't know anything, this is just Jia Xu's counterattack against Li Ru." ”

When Xu Ji heard this, he suddenly smiled and said: "I see, hehe, Li Ru has made it rumored that Dong Zhuo and Zhang Ji's wife Zou are having an affair, whether this matter is true or false, it will definitely make Dong Zhuo alienate Zhang Ji's people, after all, this thing is not good, but now Jia Xu is wooing Chen Deng and Cao Bao, obviously wanting to use Cao Ling." ”

Xi Zhicai smiled: "That's right, the question is whether Cao Ling will be at the mercy of Jia Xu." ”

Xu Ji turned his head to look at Lu Bu, who was chatting and laughing with Cao Bao, and smiled mysteriously: "It seems that Jia Xu has found a way to control Cao Ling." ”

Xi Zhicai was stunned, not understanding what Xu Ji meant.

Xu Ji said to Xi Zhicai: "Let's talk about this matter after we go back, it's beneficial to us anyway." ”

Xi Zhicai nodded, and Xu Ji said to Xi Zhicai: "You go to give an order, ask the army led by Zhang He and Gao Ran to stand still, and watch Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan fight." As for Liu Bei, I have my own way to make him unable to go back to Youzhou."

The drama will be meaningful, and Sen smiled coldly: "The subordinates understand." We only need to say that after Liu Yu's death, Liu Yu sent Liu Bei to Chang'an to prevent Liu Bei and Gongsun Zhan from colluding inside and outside, so what face does Liu Bei have to return to Youzhou? Not everyone knows about Lu Dao Guangwu's death, can Liu Bei still make this extremely confidential matter public? ”

Hearing this, Xu Ji also nodded, indicating that he meant this.

At this moment, a voice came, "Mr. Lejin, what a coincidence. ”

Xu Ji and Xi Zhicai were taken aback, turned their heads, but saw Bao Xin and Liu Bei, who had just mentioned, coming together.

Xu Ji glanced at Xi Zhicai, who knew the opportunity to retire, and Xu Ji greeted the two with a smile.

Immediately, Xu Ji, Bao Xin and Liu Bei walked side by side towards the extremely noisy hall.

Listening to the rolling sound, Xu Ji almost screamed excitedly, because he now felt that he was gradually becoming the controller of this game. (To be continued......)
