Chapter 503: The Waves Passed Away

"Drink this cup to the brim?" Yuan Shao asked.

"You told me to fill this cup?" He asked again.

Yuan Shao's eyes were extremely cold, he looked at Jian Shuo, and his eyes did not stop on the pawn holding the tray in front of him. He seemed to be asking Li Tianqiang, who was serving wine, but in fact, these words were asking Jian Shuo.

He let him drink? A glass of wine? It's ridiculous, Yuan Shao thinks that he will drink with other people, but he doesn't think that he will drink with the ten permanent servants, not to mention that he doesn't want to drink at this moment. Drink with him, Jian Shuo is also worthy?

"You deserve it too?" Yuan Shao sneered and said to Jian Shuo.

As soon as this sentence came out, the other captains were stunned, such words that were full of anger and had no room for maneuver, almost not like Yuan Shao, who was usually as gentle as jade, could say But when such a sentence appeared, several captains who were thinking about how to act, the fog in their eyes dissipated, and they leaned towards Yuan Shao and stood behind him.

"You deserve it too?"

When this sentence appeared and echoed in Jian Shuo's ears, he was immediately stunned, and the smile on his face became stiff, and then disappeared completely. Jian Shuo's face became very wonderful, and anyone could see the two colors on his face, first the whole face became red because of anger and congestion, and finally the color as bright as a drop of blood turned a miserable white.

He was still smiling, smiling angrily, and the smile that appeared on his face could make those who saw him laugh feel a complete chill. Jian Shuo stared at Yuan Shao, his gaze shifted to the left and right, and he crossed Yuan Shao and saw the other captains standing behind Yuan Shao. He looked very carefully, very carefully, and slowly scanned the past, wanting to remember in his mind the expressions, postures, and inch-ins of these people at this moment.

The captains, including Yuan Shao, all felt the cold and vicious in their eyes, as if they were being targeted by a poisonous snake. Even Chun Yuqiong, who thought he was brave, unconsciously turned his eyes away when he came into contact with Jian Shuo's gaze, and he didn't dare to touch it. It's just that even so, after this, his scalp is still a little numb.

"Tiger Ben Zhonglang will not drink this glass of wine?" Jian Shuo raised the wine glass in his hand and gestured. He did not talk about Yuan Shao's military position in the Xiyuan Forbidden Army, but mentioned Yuan Shao's official position above the court, the meaning of which is self-evident.

"Why should I drink it?" Yuan Shao asked rhetorically, the corners of his mouth turned up undoubtedly showed his contempt for Jian Shuo.

No matter what trick Jian Shuo came, Yuan Shao continued, and he was not even more afraid. Even if he is threatened by the implied meaning of Jian Shuo's words at this moment, Yuan Shao is also fearless, whether it is in the army or above the court, Jian Shuo has no means to deal with him now, otherwise he would not have to wait until now.

The reason why Jian Shuo didn't do it was not because of kindness, nor because his Yuan family was a famous family of the fourth and third dukes, and the old officials of the Yuan family were all over the court and outside. It's because he can't do anything, and the power of the Ten Standing Servants has shrunk significantly, not to mention that they have lost their biggest backer, that is, His Majesty's protection.

What can the current Ten Servants do? If it weren't for Jian Shuo as the head of the Ten Standing Servants, who had the average strength in the Xiyuan Forbidden Army in his hands, only a group of jailers and executioners would be enough to eradicate all the Ten Standing Servants.

In Yuan Shao's view, the key points of the current situation in Beijing lie in two places. One is in the palace, and the other is where he is standing now, that is, in the barracks of the forbidden army in the West Garden.

The army in the closest place to Luoyang will need six or seven days to mobilize to Luoyang. What's more, even the general has no way to mobilize the army, in fact, the tiger talisman that mobilized the army has been taken back by His Majesty, otherwise even if the Xiyuan Forbidden Army is reorganized and Jian Shuo is the captain of the military academy to command the Xiyuan Forbidden Army, it will not be able to restrain General He, who is the first in the military.

Thinking like this in his heart, Yuan Shao suddenly stretched out his hand and picked up a glass of wine under Li Tianqiang's happy gaze.

He seemed to have relented.

The lieutenants behind him were a little confused by Yuan Shao's actions, and they didn't know what kind of plan Yuan Shao had to pick up the wine glass like this, which was first tough and then unprincipled. They didn't know, but they could see Jian Shuo's slightly smug smile, and that sense of conquest gave his smile a kind of flying wantonness.

"Mission completion index: 1. Remaining Outstanding Index: 3. Listening to the cold prompt sound from the system in his ears, Li Tianqiang exhaled, and when Yuan Shao picked up the wine glass, he almost had an illusion of the rest of his life.

Look at the difficult brother Li Jianqiang behind him, Brother Jianqiang, at this time, he didn't have the strong and resolute face of the past, looking at himself with a blank look, full of regret. It seems that he is still stronger! I picked the hardest bones, and I still took the lead, but I still succeeded!

As long as Yuan Shao picked up the wine glass, the next lieutenants should be relatively simple. With this thought, Li Tianqiang held the tray steadily, missed Yuan Shao, and walked towards the captains who were slightly behind Yuan Shao.

Just when Li Tianqiang was full of joy at the success of the mission, suddenly a cracking sound of porcelain sounded in his ears.

"Smack."

He looked down and saw the debris flying at his feet, and there were plenty of water stains on his shoes. It was a fragment of the wine glass, and the water stains were the wine splashing on his shoes, and behind him Yuan Shao broke the wine glass he had just picked up.

Without looking, Li Tianqiang could also know, because the system's task prompt sound quickly sounded in his ears. The completed task index suddenly jumped and became zero, and the unfinished index behind it also disappeared. The entire taskbar, which he was now working on, had been completely locked and turned into a striking bright red, with four large bright red letters next to it: Mission failed.

No way! Li Tianqiang's heart, which had just warmed up, quickly became cold, damn it, he worked hard and tremblingly to complete this task, how much heartbeat he endured, but now a task failed, completely making all his previous efforts in vain!

At this moment, he really wanted to pounce and fight to the death with Yuan Shao. It's just that when he saw the two strong men staring at him, Li Tianqiang suddenly felt that he was really not that strong, and the fighting spirit that had just arisen to dare to fight the heavens and the earth quickly subsided.

"I'm declining, I'm declining!" Muttering, Li Tianqiang held the tray with three glasses of wine left, neither entering nor retreating, so he could only lean to the side and wait.

Something is wrong, something is wrong!

Cao Cao looked at the fragments in one place, today's Yuan Shao was particularly wrong, he was deliberately provoking Jian Shuo. It's completely unnecessary, at least not in such a violent way, almost humiliating.

Look at Jian Shuo again, the latter just appeared with a slightly smug smile, and he collapsed in an instant. From just now, to now, such a rapid change, a direct slap in the face, has been twice. So Cao Cao was very skeptical about what Yuan Shao was thinking about and what he wanted to do.

This scene is really strange. Cao Cao became more and more incomprehensible, whether it was Yuan Shao or Jian Shuo, he couldn't see through them.

Cao Cao then continued to stand quietly and observe, as for the wine, there seemed to be no problem? He looked down at the spilled drink, and he couldn't see anything wrong anyway.

If from the beginning, Cao Cao was wary that this military meeting was a Hongmen banquet, then now, he can be roughly sure that there is no ambush in the Chinese army's big tent. It was no longer necessary, when the military discussion was almost over, and the other captains were already on full alert, and their hands were already pressed on the sabers at their waists, even if the sword and axe hand appeared, I am afraid they would not be able to kill them immediately.

Besides, this wine obviously can't be poisonous wine, and which lieutenant would drink it? Is Jian Shuo stupid, or is he suddenly crazy, so he delusionally wants to poison their seven captains with poisoned wine! This kind of whimsical plan is obviously not going to be tried and put into practice.

Inexplicably, it's like someone is doing unnecessary things and using unnecessary means for a result.

However, this wine cannot be poisonous wine, but it may be wine mixed with other things. So even Cao Cao wouldn't drink this wine, how dare anyone else drink it? In this world, there is not only poisonous wine, which can make Jian Shuo achieve the desired goal.

Especially now in this world, there are countless inhumans, all kinds of strange numbers they bring, and countless special items. How could Cao Cao not be cautious.

"You two go down." Jian Shuo looked away from the spilled wine on the ground, and raised his head again to speak. There was no special tone in his words, not even a trace of anger, he was so calm that people felt a kind of horror.

Li Jianqiang and Li Tianqiang are like being amnestied, you must know that this ghost task is so difficult, they will not accept it. It's good to fail now, they don't want any rewards, as for the decline in Jian Shuo's favorability after the mission failure, then go down, stay longer, and what will happen later is not what they want to experience!

Jian Shuo shook the wine in the wine glass, and a drop of wine splashed, jumped up a distance, and fell heavily into the wine glass. There are waves in the waves, but there are no waves in the big heart.

He had expected this result for a long time, so there were no surprises. It's just that what he didn't expect was that he would be directly rejected by Yuan Shao like this, and every time he refused, he would be slapped in the face, not giving him any face.

"It seems that Yuan Benchu didn't want to give me face?" Jian Shuo raised his wine glass and gestured to Yuan Shao from afar.

Yuan Shao shrugged, he didn't know why Jian Shuo frequently showed favor, but it didn't prevent him from answering with his usual attitude.

"Didn't the captain see it himself?" Yuan Shaonunu mouthed and asked Jian Shuo if he didn't see it, this was covered up, in fact, what he wanted to ask more was whether Jian Shuo was blind. However, there is no need for such direct provocations and insults, for fear that they will lead to something that should not be caused.

Now is not the time, so Yuan Shao has relented, he is just testing Jian Shuo's bottom line of patience. And now, it's almost the lower limit of Jian Shuo's patience, so what is it that can make Jian Shuo so patient? What is he trying to endure, so that he can endure it again and again.

"Good, good." Jian Shuo drank all the wine in the wine glass, then slammed the glass in his hand, and a larger wine glass shattered and appeared in the Chinese army's tent.

Is it coming? Chun Yuqiong's eyelids jumped, and his hand had already pulled out a section of the saber on his waist, ready to kill a bloody path at any time.

The other captains are also similar, Yan Liangwen behind Yuan Shao is even more solemn, the eyes of the two people are like a cold light, sweeping towards the big tent of the Chinese army, and the screen behind Jian Shuo is the only place where people can be hidden.

It's a signal! If they guessed correctly!

Cao Cao didn't move, he didn't react, he stood still, the Qingyu sword at his waist hung low, his hand was not ready to draw the sword to fight, but was behind him.

How could this be a cup drop? It's impossible, if it's a cup drop, as early as the first time Yuan Shao dropped the wine glass in his hand, the accident had already happened.

The ambushed axemen will not identify who dropped the cup, they will only hear the sound of the cup breaking, and then they will kill it. Since it didn't appear the first time, it is even more unlikely that it will appear this second time.

It's not because the other lieutenants are stupid, but because Cao Cao likes to think a lot, and he thinks about it when something happens. If you think about one thing a lot, you can notice some things that you haven't noticed before, and you can analyze this thing thoroughly. The other lieutenants were just subconsciously reacting, and when they reacted, they would naturally be able to figure out this trick.

"So it's just an ordinary military council?" Cao Cao raised his eyebrows and continued to ponder.

Being in the big tent of the Chinese army, his heart suddenly moved, and he understood something.

Yes! The Ten Standing Servants do not regard military power as much as they do, because the first place is the imperial power! His Majesty's serious illness, if there is really no way to recover it, then who will take over the throne next is the top priority!

Thinking of the fact that the crown prince's position has not been established for a long time, and His Majesty the Emperor has always favored the various manifestations of the prince's association, Cao Cao suddenly had a realization. So Jian Shuo's performance is just to attract their attention and lure everyone's attention to the Xiyuan Forbidden Army?

Their real goal is within the walls of the palace, the palace! As long as the new emperor is established, no matter how many problems there are, it doesn't seem to be a problem.
