Chapter 252: The Gate Closes and Dies

Waiting for Guo Huai to leave, Zhao Shu went back to the study alone, flipped through ancient books, and chatted to get by. 81 Chinese ???. A few teas, a book and a chair, let Zhao Shu play this half day of leisure. When it was time for lunch, I saw a family bringing food into the house and invited Zhao Shu to eat. In the past, as long as Zhao Shu was at home, he would eat with Guan Feng, but today I think Guan Feng is still angry, so he asked people to send the food.

Looking back now, Zhao Shu's temper in the morning was also a little bigger, and he ate some indiscriminately, so he asked, "Has Madame ever eaten?" ”

The general replied, "Madame is not in the house." ”

"Oh?" Guan Feng is everyone's best girl, except for the past years when he fought with Zhao Shu, he has always been out of the gate, and he has not stepped out of the second door. It seems that he was really angry with Zhao Shu and went out for a walk. Zhao Shu sighed silently in his heart, and recalled the old friendship, since Jingzhou changed and Guan Yu died, all this has become out of reach. Guan Feng pleaded for Guan Suo like this, and there was no doubt that Guan Suo was a member of the Guan family, but for some reason he was not accepted by Guan Yu. Zhao Shu instructed the general, saying: "Although Captain Guan is detained in the mansion, you must not be lazy, and you must be thoughtful in terms of etiquette." ”

"My subordinates understand." The general said, "Lunch is prepared according to the adult's meal, and someone has already sent it to you." ”

"Good." Zhao Shu nodded and said, "You go down." The family will clean up the dishes and chopsticks, turn around and be about to leave. But I saw a group of families hurrying in. Except for a few maids around Guan Feng, the rest of Zhao Shu's mansion were all personal soldiers brought by Jingzhou, and there were no servants. One is for Zhao Shu's own safety, and the other is that Zhao Shu really doesn't like the life of a group of servants and maids.

After the group of generals came in, they hurriedly saluted and said, "My lord, Captain Guan was rescued. ”

"What?" Zhao Shu stood up and asked, "When did it happen?" Who did it? ”

"This," the general replied, hesitantly, "the subordinates sent the food, only to see that the brothers of the guards were all restrained and tied aside. As for the specific situation, the subordinates do not know. ”

Zhao Shu looked at a few people behind him, all of them are you look at me, I look at you, and no one stepped forward to answer. Seeing them like this, Zhao Shu's heart was bright, although Zhao Shu's mansion was not as good as the inner palace garden, it was also heavily guarded, how could outsiders come to rescue Guan Suo secretly?

"Go down, all of you." Zhao Shu sat down again, rubbed his forehead lightly, and said secretly: Feng'er, although you rescued your brother, how can I explain to Liu Bei? Chen Zhi's seal is on the seal, and I can't get rid of the crime of repeat offense in private. The reason why Liu Bei didn't move me was because there was no excuse? You're almost the same as murdering your husband.

After a while, Zhao Shu stood up and prepared to meet Chen Dao, no matter what, Zhao Shu had to give him an explanation. Chen Zhi is the governor of Jiangzhou, and this time he was only temporarily transferred to the White Emperor to preside over affairs, and he did not have a mansion, but lived in the military camp. Zhao Shu accompanied more than ten generals, and saw a large group of people waiting in front of Yuanmen from a distance. For one person, he was looking at Zhao Shu with a smile, it was Chen Zhi himself. Zhao Shu hurriedly dismounted and walked forward, looking at the smile on his face, he was even more puzzled in his heart, could it be that he already knew about Guan Suo?

When Chen Zhi saw Zhao Shu approaching, he also hurriedly greeted him and saluted: "Your Excellency." ”

"Lord Chen doesn't need to be polite." Now that the song is in Zhao Shu, Zhao Shu does not have the arrogance of the morning, and then returned the salute: "The adults are waiting in Yuanmen in person, could it be that there are distinguished guests coming?" ”

Chen Zhi laughed and said, "Isn't the adult a distinguished guest?" ”

Zhao Shu was stunned when he heard this, and said, "How do you know that this official is coming?" ”

Chen Zhi smiled and didn't say anything, just moved his body to the side and stretched out his hand to invite Zhao Shu in. What is stored in this battalion is the grain and grass of the soldiers on the front line in Jingzhou, and Zhao Shu has occasionally come twice, both because of his duties, perfunctory, and none of them have been so passively suppressed as this time. Zhao Shu and Chen Zhi entered the big tent of the Chinese army together and sat down in order. I heard Chen Zhi instruct his subordinates and said, "Go and ask Mrs. Guan and Captain Guan to come and see your lord." ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhao Shu's heart suddenly cooled down, it turned out that Guan Feng and the others had already been invited here by him, no wonder he was waiting for him in Yuanmen with confidence. Zhao Shu looked at Chen Zhi coldly, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and couldn't stop thinking in his heart, Liu Bei's war was imminent, but he still wanted to find his own trouble, which seemed unreasonable. However, in this matter, he has completely fallen into passivity, and he can only see the tricks and see what Chen Zhi's intentions are, and when necessary, Guan Suo's life and death will not be taken care of.

After a while, footsteps sounded outside the tent, and Guan Feng and Guan Suo were seen walking into the tent accompanied by several sergeants. Guan Feng is okay, but Guan Suo is a rope, described as embarrassed, there are many blood stains on his clothes, and he doesn't know if it's his or someone else's. When Chen Zhi saw the two of them coming in, he got up and said to Zhao Shu: "Your Excellency came to the official camp for this person?" ”

Zhao Shu didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence. Chen Zhi continued: "Guan Suo was originally detained in the adult's mansion, but he didn't want to kidnap his wife and wanted to escape with the crime. Fortunately, he was intercepted by the lower officials at the city gate, which is really a great crime, I don't know how the adults are going to deal with it? ”

Chen Zhi's words can be regarded as saving face for Zhao Shu, and he said that Guan Feng was a hostage. It's a pity that Guan Feng didn't appreciate it, and as soon as Chen finished speaking, she said coldly: "It's not that he is holding me hostage, it's that I want to release him and leave, and personally send him out of the city in a carriage." ”

"This," Chen Zhi looked at Zhao Shu in a blink of an eye, and said slowly: "My lord, how do you think this matter should be handled?" ”

Zhao Shu is now a head, two big, Guan Suo is a capital crime, Guan Feng is a serious offender, and the crime is not light. And what Chen Zhi thought in his heart, Zhao Shu didn't know, did he have a personal grudge with Guan Suo, or was he under Liu Bei's secret order? Zhao Shu just wants to get out of this matter now, regardless of Guan Suo's life or death, Zhao Shu originally didn't have a good impression of him. It is not worth offending Liu Bei for him, or Chen Zhi. At that moment, Zhao Shu walked to Guan Feng's side and said, "You go back first, don't meddle in this matter." ”

Guan Feng didn't pay attention to Zhao Shu, turned his eyes to look at Chen Dao, and asked, "Uncle Chen, who are you instructed to kill him?" ”

Chen Zhi smiled lightly and said: "Madame's words, the lower officials don't understand very well, and they should be punished for their crimes, how can it be that the lower officials take revenge for personal gain?" Lord Zhao is also there, when he knows what kind of crime it is to delay military rations. ”

Guan Feng snorted coldly, and was about to speak again. Zhao Shu said in a deep voice: "You go back to the house, I know how to deal with this matter." ”

Guan Feng glanced at Zhao Shu and said coldly: "In order to save your future, how can you care about his life and death?" ”

"That's his own fault." Zhao Shu couldn't help but be angry, what if Guan Suo is your own brother? Should he be held responsible for his greed? Zhao Shu shouted to the generals outside: "Come on, send Mrs. back home." Immediately, a few people rushed in and said behind Guan Feng, "Madam, please." ”

Guan Suo glanced at Guan Feng, sighed, and said, "Sister, let's go, I should die anyway, there's nothing to be nostalgic about." ”

"Nope." Guan Feng bit his lip lightly and said in a low voice, "How can I save you." Seeing that Guan Feng didn't move, the generals next to him didn't dare to step forward and use force, so they all looked at Zhao Shu together. And Chen Zhi also had a gloating expression.

Zhao Shu was deeply annoyed that Guan Feng didn't know the general situation, didn't women pay attention to "marrying and obeying their husbands" in ancient times? Why is it that you are not considerate of the difficulties of your husband at all? Zhao Shu stepped forward and pulled Guan Feng, turned his head to Chen Zhiyan: "Guan Suo will be handed over to the adults to deal with, and the official will leave." After speaking, he pulled Guan Feng out of the account.

After Guan Feng opened the door, the strength was not under me, but Zhao Shu pulled her with his own hands, and she was not willing to resist very much, so she pulled out Chen to the big tent and walked out of the camp quickly. The pro-soldiers who were waiting outside saw Zhao Shu coming out in a hurry and hurriedly brought the horses over, and Zhao Shu let go of the phoenix and said coldly: "Get on the horse." ”

Guan Feng's eyes flashed with tears, and he whispered: "Please save him, I don't want to lose any more relatives." ”

Zhao Shu waved his hand to signal the generals next to him to retreat, and then asked in a low voice, "Guan Suo is really your brother?" But why is it so unbearable? Now that he has committed a great sin, and Chen Zhi has fallen into the well again, how can I save him? ”

Guan Feng took Zhao Shu's hand and said, "I'll ask you for this matter." The Guan family owes him a lot, and I can't see death without help. ”

What does this mean? Zhao Shu couldn't help but be stunned, Guan Suo's identity was really puzzling. However, he was originally guilty of a capital crime, and Chen Zhi fell into the well again, what reason could Zhao Shu have to save him? Zhao Shu looked at Guan Feng, sighed softly, and said: "His crime is not big, it is not small, the key is that Chen Zhi refuses to let go, how can Zhao Shu find an excuse to save him?" Zhao Shu paused for a moment, and then said: "Guan Suo and Chen Zhi have a holiday?" If it's a personal grudge, I can also come forward to help resolve it. If it weren't for personal grudges, I wouldn't be able to do anything. "If Liu Bei really wants to use Guan Suo to provoke the discord between Zhao Shu and Kong Ming, then how can Guan Suo die in the White Emperor, Zhao Shu has no choice.

Guan Feng shook his head and said, "He has offended a lot of people in the court, and I don't know if he offended Lord Chen." ”

Zhao Shu really couldn't think of a way to save people, but looking at Guan Feng's sad appearance, he couldn't bear it, so he had to say, "I'll go to Chen Zhi again to try." As soon as he was about to move, he saw a general shouting from afar, "Look, my lord." ”

Zhao Shu looked in the direction of his finger and saw a level hanging on top of Gao Gan, and blood was still dripping from his neck. Take a closer look at the face, who is not Guan Suo? Guan Feng also saw it at this time, and with a snort, his body fell backwards. Zhao Shu hurriedly held her up, but saw that her eyes were closed and she had passed out.
