The lid of the wooden box was opened, and the stubble hands reached in, very slowly, with a look of respect on his face, which was not disguised, but from the heart. These eunuchs, if they don't have a palace or an emperor, they are just a group of crippled people who are scolded and ridiculed, and even have a place to stay.

But with the emperor, it's different, they have money, they have power, they have the power to make those ministers look up to them. These things all come from the emperor, so they are extremely loyal to the emperor, in the most popular words, even if the emperor is only one step away from them, no eunuch will step out and sit on that throne.

It's ridiculous. This group of them doesn't even have the lifeblood to continue future generations, even if the imperial power is in hand, it's just that. What's more, the more humble the person, the more cautious he is, the emperor's throne is like a hot potato to them, even if he is a eunuch with great ambition, he will not take him as his life's goal.

Why would Your Majesty trust them? It is because they will not betray, because everything they have comes from the emperor's giving, and once His Majesty is gone, then everything they will lose will also be lost. This is loyalty, loyalty without doubt, and if it is a minister of the DPRK and China, it will be different.

The ministers of the DPRK and China all have their own needs and pursuits, even if they are not for power or profit, they also have important names. This determines that they cannot be completely loyal to His Majesty, not to mention, even if they are loyal ministers, as long as they have the power to threaten the imperial power, they are more likely to stretch out their hands and move to see if they can pull down the person on the throne.

Princes and generals, would you rather have a kind?

And all this, they have no way to do it as a group of people who grew up in the palace. Now, His Majesty is critically ill, which is why they are so anxious, because once His Majesty dies, then there will be no one who can protect them anymore. Even now, their group of ten permanent servants is not having a good time, almost as soon as bad rumors come out of the palace, those ministers who were suppressed by them in the past began to move.

Now, the only way left is...

For a moment, Jian Shuo thought a lot, his hands had already grasped the corners of the edict from both ends, and the soft feeling of silk silk came from his fingers. The edict in his hand is not the most formal edict, but the bright yellow color on the back, as well as the flying dragon pattern, are enough to prove the weight of this edict.

What's more, in this edict, there is also a jade seal. As long as there is a jade seal mark on it, then no one dares to question the authenticity of this edict, even if he is a senior member of the court, he must obediently accept the orders of the edict.

"Now, do you still have any questions?" Jian Shuo did not unfold the edict, but just held the edict and looked at the seven captains in the Chinese army's tent with a smile.

No matter how many doubts the Seventh Lieutenant has, or even doubts, at this time, he should not raise them in person. Jian Shuo really hoped that someone among the seven lieutenants would question it on the spot, but that should be impossible, even if Jian Shuo was so hopeful that someone would come forward.

"Yes."

Sure enough, all the captains were stunned, but they all clenched their fists and said. This includes Yuan Shao, and no lieutenant is stupid enough to question the emperor's edict, because no one will act in the guise of the emperor's will. Even if he is one of the ten permanent servants, it is the same, and it is impossible to prove the truth of this edict in person now, but there are countless means of hindsight.

As long as it can be proved that the edict is forged, Yuan Shao has countless means to prove the edict to kill Jian Shuo.

O ten permanent servants, their time has passed.

Yuan Shao looked at Jian Shuo expressionlessly, and then his gaze fell on the curtain behind him, which was covered by a screen, and he couldn't see what was inside. I don't know if it's a person hiding inside, or if it's something covered, or if there's nothing, it's all possible.

It is precisely because he can't know anything that Yuan Shao will take Yan Liang and Wen Chou to approach the Chinese army's tent. No matter what, he must be on guard, as long as none of their seven captains die here, then Jian Shuo can completely control the Xiyuan Forbidden Army without difficulty.

In the name of the military council, the other seven lieutenants were gathered together and killed in one fell swoop, although there was some madness, but it was also an excellent strategy. As long as he masters the Xiyuan Forbidden Army, and then sends troops to quell the rebellion in the name of His Majesty, and kills the general He Jin, then Jian Shuo, who has all the strength of the Xiyuan Forbidden Army, will be able to control the entire Luoyang City.

Therefore, the Ten Standing Servants will not let go of this opportunity, but they will not let it go, and Yuan Shao will not be careless to that extent, among the seven captains present, even if they are absolutely neutral, they are secretly wary of this possibility. Yuan Shao is waiting, waiting for this to appear, as long as Jian Shuo makes a move, he will have a reason to kill him.

Siege? It can't exist. Yan Liangwen behind him was ugly, but the two fierce generals, even if Jian Shuo was able to ambush two hundred sword and axe men in the big tent of the Chinese army, Yuan Shao was sure that he would be able to retreat with his whole body.

He turned his head slightly, and the afterglow of his eyes swept over Cao Cao who was standing next to him, and the indifference on Cao Mengde's face was rarely seen by Yuan Shao. So he's also waiting?

Because Cao Mengde is not a person who can fight uncertain battles, in the past, when he went to Yicui Pavilion, he always asked him to be by his side, so Cao Cao also had the confidence to spend money. Similarly, now, Cao Cao did not bring any personal guards into the Chinese army's tent, is it also because he is here?

Yes, because he was originally here. The corners of the mouth are slightly raised, this is the tacit understanding of the two of them, no matter what the situation, as long as one of the two is prepared, then there will be no problem.

Even now, two hundred axemen? Hehe, it's only two hundred, and now he Yuan Benchu only needs to give an order, Yan Liangwen and Chou behind him, two fierce generals he brought from Hebei, as long as one of them makes a move, he can kill Jian Shuo.

Cao Cao felt Yuan Shao's gaze, and his eyes swept over and met Yuan Shao's gaze. Then it fell back on Jian Shuo's body, and then Cao Cao's brows furrowed, he didn't feel any murderous aura from Jian Shuo's body, this seemed to be just an ordinary military discussion.

Wait, ordinary? At this time, any ordinary action is not ordinary, and it has its reasons. So what are the Ten Constant Attendants preparing? Cao Cao was very confused, but unfortunately the existing clues were not enough for him to analyze the motives of the Ten Standing Servants.

Jian Shuo felt Cao Cao's gaze, and he smiled at Cao Cao, and that was all.

"Then if you don't have any objections, let's discuss the number of troops needed to patrol Luoyang City, as well as the captains who will lead the army to patrol and rotate."

In the big tent of the Chinese army, a new round of deliberations has begun. Outside the big tent of the Chinese army, it is still calm, and all the soldiers outside the big tent of the Chinese army, as well as the personal guards, are waiting.

They are not expecting an accident to happen, but they are preparing to react in time and go to the rescue when an accident happens. As for the fact that the accident did not appear, of course they welcomed it with both hands.

Behind Xiahoudun, a soldier approached him, and finally stood beside Xiahoudun. No one knows when he appeared here, and perhaps those who saw this soldier would quickly ignore him and forget about him.

So until he stood by Xiahoudun's side, the people next to him didn't feel strange, as if it should have been like this.

"Did you find anything special?" Xiahoudun spoke softly, so low that only the soldier next to him could hear it.

The soldier shook his head and replied, "No, I have probed around, and there is no ambush outside the big tent of the Chinese army, and as for the inside of the big tent, I don't know." ”

"But there is also a good chance that there is no ambush. After all, those eunuchs can't be so stupid, right? Thinking that if you kill the seven captains of the West Garden, you will not have any reaction, and you will be at their mercy. Therefore, if there is an ambush in the big tent of the Chinese army, there will inevitably be preparations outside, because you people are all close subordinates of the captains and are trusted. ”

"Also, the soldiers who were waiting outside the tent of the Chinese army were indeed Jian Shuo's men, but in addition to carrying swords, there were two people carrying two trays with wine glasses on them. The glass was supposed to be wine, but I don't know if it was ordinary wine, or fine wine, or poisoned wine. ”

"Thank you." After listening to the soldier's words, Xiahoudun said in his mouth, and the other side had already looked up at the bodies of the few Jian Shuo's subordinates that he had just noticed for a long time.

Wine? Since the wine appeared here, that is, it was meant to be drunk by the people in the Chinese army's tent, but there were really people who would drink it? Xiahoudun was full of questions, and the arrangement seemed a little ridiculous and overdone.

The soldiers beside him quietly retreated unnoticed. Just as he came quietly, no one paid extra attention to him, and when he left, he was only looked at and there was no other reaction.

"Smack." In the big tent of the Chinese army, there were two sound of palm slapping. Then the curtain of the tent was lifted, and a soldier stepped out, beckoning, and motioning for others to pass.

Li Jianqiang and Li Tianqiang, when they saw the soldier, immediately subconsciously straightened their backs. What they were waiting for, what scared them, was this moment.

Walking towards the big tent of the Chinese army, the two walked very slowly, and the fear that had just disappeared in the long wait reappeared. Their teeth chattered, but their mouths were tightly closed, hard to be noticed, and their hands holding the tray trembled slightly. With each step, both of them felt as if they were moving towards the abyss, and with each step forward, they were one step closer to death.

When they finally stepped into the big tent of the Chinese army, they saw at a glance that they were standing in the middle and at the same time the person who issued their mission.

He was smiling all over his face at the moment, and one could feel his joy at this moment. It's just that before this, there was a lot of controversy in the big tent of the Chinese army, but now it seems that it has not happened.

Many lieutenants sensed that something was wrong, and Jian Shuo's face changed so quickly, no matter who it was, they would have an emotion that felt ridiculous. It wasn't until one of them felt someone appear behind him, walked forward and subconsciously turned around, looking at the two men who looked like servants behind them, and the tray in their hands, the wine glasses on the tray, they seemed to understand something at this moment.

"Jian Shuo, eunuch, even delusional to let me wait for ambush with poisonous wine? What a killing! Lieutenant Bao Hong sneered in his heart, and the palm of his right hand and the hilt of the long sword held at his waist, ready to pull out the long sword at any time.

"Fox tail exposed, right?" The cold hair on the right lieutenant Chun Yuqiong's body immediately stood up, and he was a little short-tempered, and he was about to burst out almost immediately, but because of Yuan Shao's signal, he didn't make a move.

The rest of the people in the big tent of the Chinese army are not much different from Bao Hong and Chun Yuqiong. Even the two lieutenants who remained neutral couldn't help but have a common hatred for the enemy at this moment.

Jian Shuo is going to catch them all!

Looking at the gazes of everyone who wanted to devour themselves, Li Jianqiang and Li Tianqiang fought a spirit, and slowly walked towards Jian Shuo step by step. This is really the farthest and longest road they have walked in their lives, and by the time the two of them walked in front of Jian Shuo, their backs were already covered with cold sweat!

"General, the wine has been delivered." Li Jianqiang made up his mind and said.

"Good." Jian Shuo smiled slightly, and took a glass of wine from Li Jianqiang's tray.

He pursed his lips and said, "Before you bring the wine to the lieutenants, we will drink this cup full today!" ”

"Yes!" Li Tianqiang and Li Jianqiang responded together, and the two of them endured the numbness of their scalps and the urge to turn around and escape, and walked in front of Yuan Shao, who was in first place.

"Please fill this cup with the lieutenant of the Chinese military academy." Li Tianqiang said respectfully and put the tray on the table.

Yuan Shao didn't move, he looked at the wine glass close at hand, and his hand didn't stretch out. just let Li's strong smile gradually become embarrassing, and finally disappear.

Li Tianqiang felt the cold gaze of Jian Shuo behind him, piercing his back, moving inch by inch on his back, with a feeling that the skin and flesh were being cut off inch by inch.

That was clearly a murderous gaze!

No matter how much reluctance there is in his heart, there is no way to turn back for him.

"Please also ask the lieutenant of the Chinese military academy to drink this cup full!" He continued to speak.
