As soon as Xu Shu gave the order, he only heard an earth-shattering sound of stepping on the ground from outside the tent, which shocked many people present from far and near.

After a while, a group of soldiers came in from outside, carrying a whole roasted pig, and placed it in the middle of the tent.

These soldiers were brought by Xu Shu from Xiangyang, and they were carefully selected after layers of selection, and in terms of equipment, they far surpassed the soldiers brought by the patriarchs of the Hao clan.

They all lowered their heads and did not speak, and slowly paced into the camp, and after Xu Shu gave the order, the group of soldiers took out daggers from their waists, and the sharp and shiny tip of the knife stabbed into the flesh of Bai Huahua and made a choking sound.

The pork was cut into pieces and neatly stacked on the table, and all the wealthy families stared at them in a daze, not knowing where they came from, but the forces behind them made everyone's backs cold.

It seems that this is a Hongmen feast.

Without waiting for Xu Shu, the second order, this group of soldiers raised their daggers and stabbed the pig's head, and their fierce movements did not drag the mud and water at all, which made everyone present shocked, their training was definitely not overnight, I am afraid that Liu Bei's power is far stronger than they think.

I didn't expect Xu Shu to be here for so long, and it wasn't that he didn't do anything.

No one in the room spoke, and everyone stared at the black-clad soldiers.

For a moment, all that was left was the sound of knives slashing.

That murderous aura sent chills down everyone's bodies.

Guo Jia watched all this with satisfaction, knowing that the matter was already halfway there.

There was no expression on his face, Xu Shu was sitting and watching all this in front of him, thinking of Guo Jia's plan, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

The tip of the knife is sharp, and it can only be left if it is useful to yourself.

After cutting the group of soldiers, they left as quietly as they came, and no one gave orders, and in this dead atmosphere, everyone smelled a trace of solemnity.

Xu Shu stood up, toasted everyone present, took the opportunity to glance around, looked at the position sitting at the front and said.

"Why didn't Huang Zu come? Is it looking down on me? Do you look down on me, Xu Shu or the lord? The Jiangxia Hao clan is all dragons and phoenixes among people, it seems that Xu Shu came to you, and you are no longer qualified? ”

What he said was really a bit murderous.

All the Jiangxia wealthy families present lowered their heads and chewed the roast pork that didn't taste very good little by little, only the Huang Long, with a full face and beard, ate with relish and was not affected in the slightest.

The Huang family is a well-known figure in the Jiangxia wealthy family, and Huang Zu did not come, which was expected by Xu Shu, but Huang Long's psychological endurance was indeed beyond his expectations.

If you have seen strong winds and waves, you will naturally not lose your armor so quickly.

"My brother has recently contracted a cold illness and can't come here, so is it any different to send me? Xu Yuanzhi, you are in such a hurry and want my brother to come, do you have any other intentions? ”

As soon as these words were finished, everyone was a little sure in their hearts, and their eyes looked at Xu Yuanzhi.

"Since Brother Yuan asked me a question, then I will also ask Brother Yuan a question."

Huang Long spoke straightforwardly, not noticing that Xu Yuanzhi's face was already tense.

"I don't know where this sacred, sitting in the chief, which patriarch it is, I have never seen it, am I lonely or ......"

He was talking about Guo Jia, who was angry with the book, Guo Jia smiled slightly in his heart, and there was no expression on his face, but Huang Xu, who was behind him, couldn't sit still for a long time, and he was about to cut this rural villager under the knife when he drew his sword.

"I'm just a scholar, there's nothing special about me, and I'm not the head of any family."

As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Long burst out laughing, and the mockery on his face could not be concealed.

"Xu Shu, Xu Shu, didn't you say that I am not qualified to participate in the Patriarch Conference? So is he eligible to participate in the conference as a scholar? Hahaha I thought it was sacred, but it turned out to be just a nerd. ”

The status of the Huang family in Jiangxia is like Liu Bei's status in Xiangyang, everyone acquiesces in the status of the Huang family's eldest brother in their hearts, and the Huang family has been rooted in this land for a long time, and I don't know how many generations it has inherited.

The so-called strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, whether it is Liu Biao or Liu Qi or which one in the future, if you want to do things, want to be prestigious, and want to eat in this place, you must get the permission of their Huang family.

Everyone acquiesced to this rule, and they all tacitly followed it.

Without the permission of the Huang family, the instructions they issued would be nothing more than a piece of waste paper.

The biggest feature of the Hao clan is that it can influence the decision-making of the central organs, and the power here has long been out of control.

Xu Shu's face began to turn a little pale, and his fingers turned slightly pale because he pressed the hilt of the sword.

He is rarely provoked in such a blatant way, and he is rarely humiliated in public.

But Guo Jia's eyes made him sure in his heart that now was not the time to break out, and they had to wait for an opportunity.

He smiled quietly on the surface.

"What do you think I called you here for? It is precisely because of this for scholars. ”

Everyone looked at Guo Jia, their eyes swirling around him, from his simple turban to his clean white clothes, it seemed that a hole could be seen in his face, and every corner of his body was seen.

This feeling Guo Jia has not experienced.

"Although he is only a scholar in Jiangxia, do you know why he can sit in the chief? He wasn't a patriarch, and he didn't have any earth-shattering abilities. ”

Xu Shu looked around, and his tone paused, as if he was considering something.

"But he is the chief of my arrangement, precisely because he does not belong to any family, nor does he belong to any faction, there is nothing behind him, and behind him stands the largest family in Jiangxia, that is, the people of Dawn,."

After Xu Shu finished speaking, all the leaders of the wealthy clan present were stunned.

Are ordinary people also a family?

In this era, there is no Internet and television, these people have never heard of Guo Jia, and they have never seen him in person, and now no one can recognize it, this is Guo Jia, so everyone was attracted by Xu Shu's generous statement.

Someone laughed, Huang Long looked at Guo Jia coldly and said.

"Hahaha, when will the people of Dawn be considered a family, I can tell you, the first family of Jiangxia's generation is my Huang family, you Xu Yuan is straightforward, do you want us to follow you to refer to the deer as a horse?"

Huang Long still felt that it was not enough, and scolded fiercely.

"This group of Diao people is also a family, if they are a family, then our Jiangxia Hao clan will not have a place to stand."

Huang Long didn't take Xu Shu's words seriously at all, and kept choking Xu Shu with his words.

The dawn people in Xu Shu's mouth have become untouchables in Huanglong's mouth, he will never admit the existence of this family, and he will never let this group of dawn people form a gang.

From ancient times to the present, wealthy families everywhere like to raise slaves, and many of these slaves fled from other places in addition to the famine, and many of them were actually robbed by local people.

The land was reclaimed, and many people, who had no means of production and no means of production, became cheap labor for this group of wealthy people.

Some are voluntary, others are forced.

The children born to these domestic slaves are domestic slaves, and they are regarded as private property by the wealthy families, and in their eyes, these slaves are like cats and dogs.

In their eyes, the common people are not families at all, but resources that they can buy with a little money.

They didn't understand what Xu Shu was thinking at all, and from the very beginning, this banquet was to play the piano to the cow.

Xu Shu was already a little anxious when he heard this, and suddenly stood up angrily.

"I came to Jiangxia this time to recruit troops and horses, it was on the orders of the lord, the lord asked me to treat the local people well, the lord is such a benevolent and righteous person, I didn't expect you to trample on the people under the banner of Xuande Gong, of course I want to rectify the soldiers and horses, help the lord win the world, so that all the people in the world can live in Datong society. But you are so deceitful that you have lost the slightest bit of kindness, and you treat these dawn people as pariahs, and there is still a little kindness in your heart? ”

Xu Shu was really angry.

Xiaozhi is more of a threat when he moves with reason and emotion, which actually means that you disobedient things, when the day comes when the heroes compete for the deer, the sword will be you.

Everyone is a human spirit, how could they not understand what he said, everyone's faces changed, but someone reacted.

"But the world has already been decided, the soldiers and horses of the Duke of Xi will enter Jingzhou sooner or later, if the Duke of Xuande continues to struggle to the death, I am afraid that more people will die at dawn, and then the lives will be ruined, and Rende does not need to be said again."

This sentence is reasonable, the person who spoke was the leader of the Zhang family, an old man.

Although the Zhang family is not as good as the Huang family, Mr. Zhang has a high reputation, and he is also a figure with a head and face in various families, and he is upright.

As soon as he spoke, everyone's faces changed, and they no longer had the scared look they had before.

The drama in his mouth is the drama.

In fact, the team leaders had already heard the rumors behind their backs, and knew that the drama man was going to enter Jingzhou soon.

They were not willing to let Xi Yu occupy Jingzhou, but in this way, it would definitely make Xu Shu disgusting.

Guo Jia was stunned when he heard the name, and he had been silently watching, and at this time he felt like he was in it.

I didn't expect that the lord is still in Qingxu, and now he is famous for his prestige, and the world knows it, it seems that everyone also has the lord in their hearts, and it will definitely not be a matter to dominate the world when the time comes.

He had another idea in his mind.

"Yuan Zhi, you asked a question just now, and the old man asked you one."

Old Man Zhang narrowed his eyes, with a hint of golden light flashing in his eyes, although he was so old, he had a bad stomach.

"Where are Liu Qi and Liu Jingzhou now? How are you doing? ”

Xu Shu hadn't really gotten angry yet, so he rubbed the fire and asked.

Xu Shu's face sank, and he didn't have any expression, but his tone was already three points colder.

"Now Liu Jingzhou is naturally in Xiangyang, and his health is naturally good."

"But I heard that Liu Jingzhou hasn't shown up for many days and has been in the bedroom, but is there such a thing?"

This old man Zhang is worthy of being an old man who mediates in various families, and he speaks aggressively.

Everyone looked at Xu Shu again.

Liu Biao has occupied Jingzhou for so many years, and he has a good relationship with the local wealthy families, and they have also enjoyed dividends from it, which can be regarded as a win-win situation for both sides.

Therefore, the Hao family was quite polite to Liu Biao, and when they heard about Liu Qi, they were even more curious.

"Liu Jingzhou's body is fine, but he has recently been infected with wind and cold, you don't have to worry about it anymore, you just need to recuperate for a while, I don't know if you are in such a hurry, do you want to rush to Jingzhou to take care of him immediately?"

Xu Shu wanted to change the topic, but he accidentally saw Guo Jia, and saw that Guo Jia was still the same immobile as he was just now, as if he was used to seeing this kind of scene.

Guo Jia gave him great encouragement and nodded at him.

"I heard that Liu Qi Gongzi, who used to be alive and kicking, how could he suddenly be infected with the wind cold? As soon as he arrived in Xiangyang, he contracted a cold emergency, this is not a joke, he may have tossed every day to chant poetry and paint, it is no problem, why did he get such a serious illness when he changed places? ”

Old Man Zhang kept asking after this question, and his tone was aggressive, which made Xu Shu a little overwhelmed.

After a few questions, everyone seemed to be observing Xu Shu's reaction, wanting to see if what he said was true or false.

These problems are more tricky and more dangerous than the other.

Xu Shu was only silent, not knowing what to say, although he knew Liu Qi's situation, but what should he say if he said it in front of everyone.

If you really say it, won't you really slap yourself in the face?

But he is not good at lying, and when he lies, he can see that this group of people are all human spirits, and he must ask something from his mouth.

He looked at Guo Jia again.

He knew that Guo Jia must have a way.

Guo Jia has been in the tent all the time, listening to their conversation, and he has already prepared in his heart, among this group of people, Old Man Zhang is the most difficult to deal with.

He bowed his head and nodded to Xu Shu, as if to indicate something.

Everyone stared at Xu Shu and waited for him to reply, in fact, they didn't care whether Liu Qi was alive or dead, what did Liu Qi's life have to do with them, they just wanted to get through this hurdle, whether it was Liu Qi or Liu Bei or Liu Bei, now as long as they can take it out to block Xu Shu's mouth, they have already achieved their goal.

Xu Shu's mind was in a mess, he was a martial artist, and he didn't have a brain like Guo Jia, and it was impossible to come up with a perfect plan in this situation.

But the more he panicked, the more excited the group of wealthy people became.

Someone looked at Guo Jia and wanted to see how the invited scholar could find a place for him.

Everyone was whispering and exchanging things, and when they heard it, it was very harsh in their ears.

"I don't know what happened back then, but everyone here still remembers."

The poor scholar slowly stood up from his position, and his eyes were not shocked. It seems that there are thousands of troops.

"Liu Xuande entered Jingzhou and conspired with Liu Jingsheng to do great things, at that time Liu Jinsheng stated that everyone had heard of it outside, but when Cao Cao's army went south, Liu Xuande relied on the ambush shield tactics to break Cao's army, and became famous for a while."

He talked about the past unhurriedly and analyzed it carefully.

"You might as well think about it, at that time, the people of Jingzhou were grateful to Xuande Gong, and they wished that Liu Xuande could stay in the Xiangyang area of Jingzhou.

When he said this, everyone couldn't help but think of Liu Xuande. His reasoned and well-founded analysis is much more credible than Xu Shu's words that are secretive and don't know if it's true or not.

Even if he didn't explain Liu Bei's thoughts, everyone could guess what Liu Bei wanted to do.

These team leaders are all human spirits, and they have long understood his extraneous voices.

Liu Bei wanted to kill Liu Jingzhou and steal Jingzhou.

And Liu Xuande, a big-eared thief, thought of not entrapping the nobles at all but entrapping the hearts of the people, he had long known that the people everywhere were now complaining, and the war had harmed them beyond recognition.

At this time, spreading benevolence and righteousness will only make more people follow Liu Bei.

And his fundamental purpose is to uproot Haozu.

This is not to recruit troops at all, they are to compete for resources with the wealthy families in Jiangxia, which is tantamount to asking for their lives.

These team leaders understood the gist of it, and their faces changed greatly.

Xu Shu looked confused, he originally hoped that Guo Jia could help him, but he didn't expect him to defect now.

Now not only has he been pitted, but he has also been pitted by the master on his head.

Hearing this, Xu Shu's face had turned cold, and he looked at Guo Jia's expressionless face and realized that he had been deceived.

"Guo Jia, you treacherous liar, I, Xu Yuanzhi, am sorry for you, for the brotherly righteousness between us, for the dawn of life, I will draw my sword for you, and you are ......"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly thought that the relationship between the two of them could not be known to others, and he immediately stopped talking.

If the matter reaches Liu Bei, he is afraid that he will be charged with attempting rebellion again.

He trusted Guo Jia so much, but he didn't expect to be really cheated.

But the most important thing now is to find a reason to kill all these nobles, if you can't find your factory, this matter will directly rise to provoke Liu Xuande and the local wealthy family.

When the time comes, he will not have enough ten heads to kill.

At that time, he discussed with Guo Jia that he wanted to use the righteousness of the people to force the leaders of the Hao clan to admit their mistakes, but he didn't expect that this move could not arouse the guilt and benevolence in their hearts at all.

This group of people kills people like hemp, and they are used to not treating the people as human beings at all, and there is no such thing as the righteousness of the people.

Guo Jia's current provocation has disrupted all of Xu Shu's plans.

He said immediately in a hurry.

"This is just a scholar's words, you can't be gullible, what a benevolent and righteous person Xuande Gong is, you can't think so."

He grabbed the sword in his hand and said in a deep voice.

"This is not Xuande Gong's original intention, but Yuan Zhi hopes that you can understand that after returning the people arrested recently, there is absolutely no forcible seizure of strong men, and the consent of both parties must be obtained."

After Xu Shu finished speaking, he pulled out his sword, and the intention was not too obvious.

"Anyone who dares to do unkind and unjust things outside under the banner of Xuande Gong is like this glass of wine." (End of chapter)
