Chapter Seventy-Three: Surrender?

The silver Xu Sanduo would not be disliked, even if he knew that the master valued the person who came, the silver two would still be accepted. He remembered the master's instructions, so he warmly invited people to the study to meet the master, who knew that the young scribe politely refused, and said that there was a letter in the gift box, and the Taifu master would naturally understand when he saw the letter, and he didn't need to say much.

Xu Sanduo kept it again and again, but the young scribe just refused to enter the mansion and get together with Master Taifu. This made Xu Sanduo very confused, I don't know how many people have hollowed out their minds, and even bribed themselves to this lowly disciple just to see Lord Taifu, now Lord Taifu has an invitation, such a good opportunity, why can't this young man grasp it well?

Isn't this a young student who wants to seek an official position from Master Taifu? Didn't he encounter something difficult and wanted to come to Master Taifu to help solve it? Then why did he give a gift to his master, and said it was a precious gift?

Although Xu Sanduo was puzzled, he couldn't force anyone to come, after all, he was a guest, and he was a well-dressed guest with a noble status who was specially explained by the lord to meet. A lowly person like him really can't compete with others, not to mention that people still have 10 taels of silver to open the way, and they have received money from others, so no matter how they say, they have to give people some convenience.

So, soon, the young scribe left, and Xu Sanduo put away the silver ingot, and sent it to the study with the gift box to the master.

Xu Jing was pacing anxiously in the study at this time, and the family sent out to find Wu Yi had returned, and the family had been waiting for Wu Yi's house for a long time, but they didn't wait for anyone, and they heard that he was inspecting the city defense, so they hurried to the various city gates to look for it, but they didn't find it.

Later, the family heard that the general went to the barracks, and he originally wanted to chase him to the barracks to find it, but when he looked at the sun, he found that it was not too early, and the family was worried that his master was in a hurry, so he first went back to the house to report to the lord to know, and then went out again to go to the barracks to find Wu Yi.

Xu Jing received a report from his family and faintly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of anything wrong, so he paced anxiously in the study while thinking about things.

Xu Jing was anxious, and suddenly heard that Menzi asked to see him, and he remembered that it was Menzi who sent the letter before, so his heart moved, and he opened his mouth to let Menzi Xu Sanduo come in.

After Xu Sanduo entered the study, he first bowed respectfully to Xu Jing and said, "Master, the young man who delivered the letter sent another gift box, saying that it must be handed over to the master, and the master will open it himself." As he spoke, he carefully picked up the gift box in his hand and put it on Xu Jing's desk.

"Where's the person? Didn't you ask him to come to the study and spend a while with the old man? Due to anxiety in his heart, Xu Jing's tone was a little harsh.

"Old, sir, that man resolutely refused to enter the house, and said that there was a letter attached to this gift box, and the lord only needed to see it clearly." Xu Sanduo was asked by Xu Jing, and he was a little nervous, now he really didn't understand what kind of attitude the master had towards this person.

Xu Jing's eyes rolled slightly, no longer entangled in the fact that Xu Sanduo did not invite the book submitter into the house, he pointed at Xu Sanduo and said, "You, come and open this gift box." As he spoke, he did not advance but retreated, until he retreated to the wall, far away from the gift box.

"However, the person who came said that he wanted the master to open this gift box with his own hands, and also said that he must not fake others." Xu Sanduo said timidly.

"If you are told to open it, where is so much nonsense, open it quickly." Xu Jing, who had long believed that this gift box was fraudulent, was willing to open it by himself, he just blindly drank and ordered Xu Sanduo to open the box.

"No!" Poor Xu Sanduo where dare to say more, he and Xu Jing's status is one in the sky, one on the ground, one is the master, the other is the servant, this matter is not allowed to be refused at all, although he also saw that Xu Jing was nervous, hiding far away looked very suspicious, he was also worried that there would be something in this gift box, but now that the master has an order, he has to jump even if he knows that there is a cliff in front of him.

Xu Sanduo trembled with his hands, untied the ribbon tied to the outside of the gift box, and then lifted the lid of the gift box up. When the lid was fully lifted and the contents were clearly visible, Xu Sanduo let out a "Ah! With an exclamation, the lid of the gift box in his hand fell to the ground, and others also took a few steps back, and finally stood unsteadily and fell on the ground, falling on the buttocks.

Even so, he didn't stop, he endured the pain in his buttocks, and the whole person was on his back, using his hands and feet together, and crawled backwards on the ground, desperately trying to stay away from the gift box. While crawling in his mouth, he trembled "people, people, people, people, heads, heads......"

If he had eight legs, he would crawl like a spider. It's a pity that there is no silk thread in the place where he climbed, but a wet mark appears, and a smell of urine # came out, it turned out that this coward was scared to pee.

Xu Jing was far away, but he could still see the things in the gift box clearly, and he was also taken aback, but because he was far away, his old eyes were a little dizzy, he could only roughly see what it was, but he didn't see some details of that thing clearly, so he didn't feel so scared.

The thing in the gift box is Wu Yi's human head, this human head is tattered, and the skin and hair have been injured by Yan zhòng, it can be said that the death is very terrifying, and it is a hundred times more terrifying than the grimaces made by makeup masters in those horror movies in later generations.

No wonder Menzi Xu Sanduo was scared after just one glance. Although Xu Jing only saw a vague outline, he could also see that it was a human head. Seeing that there was a human head in the gift box, he was not so afraid, he had lived a lifetime, and he was born in troubled times, he had never seen anything, and it could be said that he had seen a lot of dead corpses and human heads.

Originally, he thought that there was something like a crossbow in the box, and as soon as he opened it, it shot out and hurt people. Now that there is no mechanism, it is just a human head, I am relieved. He steadied himself and paced his head over to see who the head was.

"Ahh When he got closer, Xu Jing saw the tragic situation of this head clearly, and he couldn't help but be startled, and the person also reflexively took a few steps back. This really can't blame him for being too timid, it's really that the broken Cheng dù of this human head is too strict, and the death is a little too terrifying. Wu Yi was at the center of the explosion, and it was already a blessing in misfortune that the human head could still be saved, and he really couldn't ask for more.

Xu Jing took a few deep breaths, forcibly suppressed the urge to vomit, stabilized his mind again, walked to the desk again, and carefully examined the head. It took a lot of effort for him to finally recognize the owner of this head, which was the head of the great general Wu Yi. Xu Jing issued "Ah! Exclamations.

The dignified general, the commander of a country's army, heard a report a moment ago that he went to inspect the city defense and went to the military camp to comfort the soldiers, and at this moment he saw his head in a box and sent it to him, which shocked Xu Jing. Although he already had a bad premonition just now, he was really shocked when the bad news fell on the ground.

Xu Sanduo had already climbed out of the study, Xu Jing also tried to stay away from the head, and the person retreated until his back was pressed against the wall of the study before stopping, he just stood against the wall like that, looking at the head in the distance in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, several housekeepers ran in noisily, obviously Xu Sanduo's strange appearance aroused their vigilance, and they thought that something had happened to the master in the study, so the dutiful housekeeper ran in to take a look.

At first, they were worried that an assassin was going to assassinate their master, but when they entered the door, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and when they looked closely, they were all startled to see a bloody human head on the desk.

Just when these family members wanted to ask the master what was going on, Xu Jing was disturbed by these family members, woke up from his contemplation, and saw so many family members coming, he immediately raised his eyebrows, stared at his eyes, and shouted: "Whoever let you in, go out, let the old man out." ”

The family members were at a loss, and when they saw that the old man was angry, they didn't dare to say more, and obediently withdrew from the room. After Xu Jing in the room came to his senses, he remembered that Xu Sanduo, the doorman, had said that there was a letter attached to the gift box, so he forcibly held back the feeling of nausea, approached the human head again, and he saw a lotus leaf bag next to the human head at a glance.

He pulled out the ruffle with a trembling hand, and opened the blood-stained lotus leaf bag with a shudder, and sure enough, he found that there was a letter inside. Xu Jing picked up the letter, retreated to the wall again, and looked at the letter, the letter was well protected and there was no blood stains, which made him feel a little more comfortable.

His old face was not bloody, and today's surprise made him almost have a heart attack, and he was very scared, and began to regret what he had done before. He didn't even dare to open the letter, for fear of seeing something terrible.

Eventually, however, he had to open the letter, knowing that it might be his only hope of survival. When he had rested enough time and his heart rate dropped from 200 to 100 beats per minute, he finally mustered up the courage to unfold the letter with trembling hands, and a line of familiar handwriting came into view, exactly the same as the previous letter.

The content of the letter was very simple, it was to coerce him to surrender: "The chicken has been killed, is the monkey afraid?" Before tomorrow, open the south gate, kneel beside the road, beg for your life. If not, you will be the next chicken. ”

The meaning of this letter is easy to understand: "We have already killed Wu Yi's chicken, are you afraid of this monkey?" Tomorrow morning before 9 o'clock, you open the south gate, kneel on the side of the road, and beg us to surrender, beg for mercy, otherwise, you will be the next chicken, to be killed like Wu Yi. ”

This is Chi Guoguo's threat, the assassination of Wu Yi by the executive team will be characterized as a terrorist # attack if it is placed in future generations, no country will tolerate such an act, and no country's prime minister will be frightened and threatened by such an attack and assassination. They will not accede to any demands of the terrorists#, not even the release of a prisoner, let alone the surrender of the nation.

They will certainly take drastic measures against terrorists# and bring the attackers to justice, no matter what the cost. However, this is the Three Kingdoms era, not the 21st century, and people don't have the concept of terror #attack, and the threatened Shousuke-sama is not a master who is not afraid of death. For the choice of surrender, they have much less ideological burden than later prime ministers.
