As Wang Xu set the date, the spy Shan Huai, Ling Wanqing and Liang Rui had to slow down the expansion of the spy shadow a little and devote a large part of their energy to the investigation. For half a month in a row, the three of them were all dispatched in person, and the spy headquarters was almost completely empty except for some necessary personnel left behind. However, the three of them worked together, and the progress was also very fast, every two or three days there was the latest news, and the deeper and deeper, the participants were identified, whether directly or indirectly, there were nearly 100 people.

Looking at the latest list in his hand, Wang Xu smiled coldly, put it to the side, and turned his attention back to the chess game in front of him.

Seeing this, Xu Shu, who was sitting across the stone table, immediately couldn't help but ask, "Husband, don't you take a closer look at who they are?" ”

"What do you seem? I don't know each other anyway, just know how many people there are. As he spoke, Wang Xu had already picked up a sunspot and slowly put it on the chessboard. You'd better play chess! Originally, the chess skills were poor, and I came to love the east and want to ask the west, so it's strange if I don't lose! ”

Hearing this, Xu Shu suddenly gave a big roll of her eyes, and said disdainfully: "Listening to your tone, as if you are good at chess, can't you bully me?" If you have the ability, why don't you find Guo Jia and Tian Feng? I don't know who lost ten in a row yesterday, and the result was still tricky! ”

"What kind of trick am I, their chess skills are so good, what's wrong with letting me have two or three sons? Only in this way can it work, otherwise the overall situation will be decided after only a few dozen moves, what else is the point? Wang Xu immediately retorted.

"Then why don't you let me have three sons, if you let me, I will guarantee to win you." Hearing this, Xu Shu was dissatisfied and angry.

"It's a shame that you and I are on the same level in chess, but you can't calm down. If I let you have three sons, isn't that a clear admission of defeat, so what kind of chess are you playing? Saying that, Wang Xu had already dropped another piece on the chessboard, and said with a slight smile: "You still want to think about whether your chess is good?" If you don't think about it, you'll have to lose. ”

Hearing this, Xu Shu hurriedly looked down at the chessboard, but after a while, she suddenly said angrily: "You are cheating!" ”

"Why am I cheating again?" Wang Xu's eyes widened suddenly.

Seeing this, Xu Shu looked at the chessboard, but said affirmatively: "No, I still have a white piece in the lower left corner?" Where did you get me? It's all still there just now. ”

"Isn't it all here? Where else is one? Wang Xu suddenly spread his hands inexplicably, and was really speechless.

"Right here, just a glance away from the chess pieces here, you must have secretly taken it while I was talking." As she spoke, Xu Shu also stretched out her hand and pointed on the chessboard.

As soon as he saw the position pointed by Xu Shu, Wang Xu suddenly shook his head with a wry smile: "You think I'm stupid, if you really have such a white seed there, where will I put a black seed over there, wouldn't I send it to the door for you to surround it?" ”

"Then who knows, it's likely that you didn't pay attention! Anyway, I have a chess piece there, I don't care, I have to add it! As she spoke, Xu Shu grinned, and she had already picked up a white child and put it up.

Seeing this, Wang Xu immediately stretched out his hand to stop him and said: "Wife, you are too cheating, if you put one more piece up, won't my chess piece become a dead chess?" This is also a loss. ”

"I should have won, but you hid my chess pieces, and you were embarrassed to say it." Xu Shu also didn't give an inch, and the two immediately fought on the chessboard, pulling and pulling and pulling and pulling and refusing to let go. When Xiao Yu and Xiao Ling, who were standing next to them, saw this scene, they immediately covered their mouths and chuckled.

Hearing this voice, Xu Shu remembered that there were still two people in the pavilion, and immediately turned around and said urgently: "Xiaoyu, tell me, did I have a white child here just now!" ”

"That's right! Xiao Yu and Xiao Ling have been standing next to each other, you can see it most clearly, is she like this here? Wang Xu also asked not to be outdone.

Hearing this, Xiao Ling suddenly shook her head, and said with a little confusion: "The slave doesn't understand this, I'm just watching it for fun, I don't remember!" ”

However, Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment before turning her head to look at Xu Shu and said with a slight smile: "Mastermother, you really didn't have that white seed!" ”

"Haha! Wife, there is Xiaoyu to testify, you still don't admit it? Wang Xu suddenly laughed.

"How is that possible? I remember what I did? Xu Shu shook her head suspiciously, but she still refused to believe it, looked at Xiaoyu suspiciously, and then at Wang Xu, and couldn't help but say: "Xiaoyu, are you afraid that he will trouble you afterwards, don't be afraid, he won't!" ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yu immediately shook her head and said with a smile: "Master, the slave is telling the truth, you really didn't have a white child." As he spoke, Xiao Yu stepped forward lightly, pointed to the chessboard and said, "Mastermother! You did think about going here five steps ago, but before you landed, a person from the spy shadow came to deliver a message to the master. As a result, you stopped for a moment, and the mistress took her hand back. After the master read the letter, he thought that the master mother had already walked over, so he left the sunspot directly, and then walked here. ”

"I see!" nodded suddenly, but Xu Shu looked at Wang Xu dissatisfiedly, and blamed in a coquettish voice: "Look, in the end, it's not you who take one more step, this game of chess should have been won by me!" ”

Where does that begin? Even if I take one more step, at most, these chess pieces of yours have escaped, how can I lose? Look at the whole game of chess, as long as I don't go over there, I'll have the advantage! Otherwise, you've already blocked the chess path, and I'll continue to walk over? Glaring at Xu Shu angrily, Wang Xu couldn't help but speak: "Why don't we reverse these steps and walk them again?" ”

Hearing this, Xu Shu breathed a sigh of relief boredly, waved her hand and said, "Forget it, it's boring to go with you, I won't go down." ”

"I don't want to go down with you yet!" As he spoke, Wang Xu suddenly turned his head and said, "Xiaoyu, put away the chess." ”

"Oh!" Seeing that Wang Xu and Xu Shu were descending and going down as usual, Xiao Yu and Xiao Ling glanced at each other, didn't say a word, and immediately cleaned up.

Watching the two of them gently pack up the chess pieces, Wang Xu suddenly remembered Xiao Yu's words before, and suddenly said, "Xiao Yu, you can also play this game of Go?" ”

"Not before! It's just that I often see the master and the main mother, so I understand a little bit now. Xiao Yu smiled slightly.

"Huh! Then I'll go down with you another day. ”

"Good! It's just that the master is so powerful, but he has to let the slave and maid do it. Xiao Yu nodded softly.

But Xu Shu on the side was not happy, glanced at Wang Xu, snatched the words and said: "Xiaoyu, don't go down with him, he will be the most helpless, in the future, the two of us will go down, let him stand next to him alone!" Kill him in a hurry! ”

Hearing this, Wang Xu couldn't help but shrug his shoulders helplessly. smiled bitterly: "Wife, is it necessary to be so ruthless?" I'm going to die in a hurry! ”

"Humph! Who called you ......" But before Xu Shu's words were finished, he was suddenly interrupted. "My lord! News from the north. ”

With the words, I suddenly saw Shan Huai rushing towards the pavilion here. Because after the last incident, in order to avoid trouble, Wang Xu had already informed the guards in the palace that the three commanders of the spy shadow could freely enter and leave the courtyard, so he appeared so suddenly.

Hearing this, Wang Xu had no intention of frolicking with Xu Shu anymore, and immediately frowned. "But what's the big move?"

"Yes! And a lot! Before Shan Huai arrived, he had already replied eagerly.

Seeing this, Wang Xu immediately waved his hand at Xiao Yu and Xiao Ling. "Xiaoyu, Xiaoling, I have something to discuss with Shan Huai, you go down first!"

"No!" The two of them saluted respectfully, and they were not in a hurry to clean up, even if they put down the things in their hands and slowly walked into the distance.

And Shan Huai had already walked into the pavilion at this time, and saluted Wang Xu and Xu Shu successively, but he was not verbose, and said directly: "Lord, something is wrong!" Chen Yi, the son of the late Taifu Chen Fan, and the warlock Xiangkai, as well as the current Jizhou assassin Wang Fen conspired to depose the emperor, and they are currently contacting Haojie everywhere, with the intention of wanting to be soldiers. But when he heard that Emperor Ling was going back to his old residence in Hejian to inspect, he planned to conspire to kidnap him and force him to give way to Hefei. ”

I thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be this. Of course, Wang Xu had long known about this sensational event, and it was impossible for these three people to succeed in their conspiracy to depose the Spirit Emperor, and the most famous thing was that they also invited Cao Cao, the former plain minister Tao Qiuhong, and the famous scholar Hua Xin and others. However, these people all refused, Tao Qiuhong originally wanted to participate, but was persuaded by Hua Xin to retreat, saying that Wang Fen could not become a big thing, and Cao Cao did not agree with the abolition of the emperor at all.

Thinking of this, Wang Xu couldn't help but smile slightly, shook his head and said, "It's okay, Wang Fen's three people can't become a climate, or it won't be long before His Majesty will know, don't worry." Anything else? ”

Although Shan Huai felt that this matter was the most implicated, he saw that Wang Xu didn't care at all, so he didn't say much, and immediately changed the topic and said: "In addition to this matter, the third prince has also been frequently replaced in the past two months, after the Tai Lieutenant Cao Song was deposed, the former Yongle Shaofu Fan Ling was a Tai Lieutenant for two months, and now he has also been dismissed. At the same time, the former Sikong Ding Gong was transferred to Situ, and the former Guangluxun Liu Hong was promoted to Sikong. At the same time, he was promoted to the rank of guard captain Dong Zhong as a hussar general, and this Dong Zhong was the son of His Majesty's uncle and his cousin. ”

Hearing this, Wang Xu was even less interested, and he didn't bother to understand these inconsequential people. That Dong Chong has only seen him in the court, and he has never talked to him from beginning to end, and he has nothing to do with it at all.

Shan Huai also saw Wang Xu's face, and immediately stopped talking, and said tentatively as soon as his voice changed: "In addition, the Liangzhou Qunhao invaded, General Huangfu has been reactivated, and the edict is the general of Zuo, and the governor's troops and horses are recruited. Because it took a lot of time to pass on the message, it is likely that the battle has already been engaged. Furthermore, it is Qingxu ......"

"Wait!" Hearing Xiliang's news, Wang Xu instantly became serious, and when he saw Shan Huai briefly skipping it, he couldn't help but interrupt him. "Isn't Xiliang in the middle of a melee? How can there be more than enough to attack on a large scale? ”

Seeing Wang Xu asking, Shan Huai also breathed a sigh of relief, if he rushed over, but there was no piece of information that Wang Xu needed, it would be really a waste of effort. "Back to the lord, the Xiliang group of thieves has ceased war more than half a year ago, and they have been recuperating, and it is said that the development is not bad. And this time, Han Sui, Ma Teng, Wang Guo, and Song Jian jointly sent troops to elect the kingdom as the leader of the alliance, intending to take the Jingzhao region where Chang'an is located and force Luoyang. ”

"Oh? This is strange, Xiliang has formed a chaotic balance, how can it be said that stability is stable? And it is really strange to be able to unite and attack the Jingzhao region? Bian Zhang, Beigong Boyu, and Li Wenhou in the west don't take advantage of the situation? ”

Hearing this, Shan Huai immediately shook his head and said with a cold face: "This subordinate doesn't know either, the spy hasn't gained a foothold in Xiliang yet. However, I seem to have heard someone say it before I came to Jingnan, and it seems that it was because of some secret agreement. But what exactly it will be, is unknown. ”

"Hmm!" Nodding, Wang Xu thought for a moment in confusion, but there was no result, and he couldn't help but say: "Shan Huai, you immediately notify the spy strongholds in various parts of Sili, especially Jingzhao, where Chang'an is located, and Henan, where Luoyang is located, so that they can pay close attention to all things related to Xiliang, and if there is any information, be sure to send it over as soon as possible." ”

"No!" Shan Huai suddenly replied.

"Okay, you go on. You seem to be talking about Qingxu something! ”

"Hmmm! The subordinates just wanted to report the affairs of Qing and Xu Erzhou to the lord. Saying that, Shan Huai saw that Wang Xu didn't mean to talk, and immediately continued: "The Yellow Turbans of Qing and Xu Erzhou have risen again, and Kong Rong has been appointed as the Taishou of Beihai, responsible for exterminating the remnants of the Yellow Turbans hoarded in Beihai. And Xuzhou is even more powerful, the number of yellow turbans has grown to nearly 100,000, so Tao Qian, the speaker of the council, has been appointed as the pastor of Xuzhou, and he has been ordered to beg for thieves!"

Hearing this, Wang Xu suddenly looked at Shan Huai in surprise, and said secretly in his heart: The changes are really getting bigger and bigger, in history, Kong Rong became the Beihai Taishou after Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, and Tao Qian only did Xuzhou Assassin History at this time, and it was not until Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an that he was promoted to the state pastor, but this qiē is now in advance, and there are no small changes......

After pondering for a long time, after quickly thinking about it in his mind, Wang Xu suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Are there any major appointment changes in other places?" I'm talking about the local ministers. ”

"Yes!" Shan Huai immediately nodded. "The highly respected Zang Min has been transferred to Taiyuan Taishou. At the same time, Ding Yuan, the cavalry commander, had been promoted to the position of Assassin of the Prefecture and took over the task of Dong Zhuo's steady annexation of the prefecture, while Dong Zhuo led his soldiers and horses to follow Huangfu Song to conquer Xiliang. In addition, because Gai Xun was favored, and he plotted with Yuan Shao to kill Jian Shuo, he was transferred to Jingzhao Yin by Jian Shuo, and is currently sitting in Chang'an, the military administration of the Jingzhao region, and assisting Huangfu Song to break the enemy. ”

"Hmmm! Very good. Hearing this, Wang Xu finally nodded with a smile, and slowly continued: "In the future, the affairs of the court and the central government only need to pay attention to He Jin and Jian Shuo, but the change of local officials must be notified to me as soon as possible, remember, it must be faster than the official documents of the imperial court." ”

"No!" Shan Huai's cold face did not have any expression, and he immediately solemnly surrendered his hand......
