Chapter 723: Deception (2)

As if realizing that he had lost his words, Xu Guangsheng's face changed suddenly, and he secretly said "not good" in his heart.

"Smack!"

Sure enough, before Xu Guangsheng could open his mouth to defend himself, Sikong Zhu, who was standing on the side, suddenly raised his hand and gave him a resounding slap mercilessly.

The force was so great that half of Xu Guangsheng's cheeks were slightly swollen, and a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Ting Xiang, just now I was in a hurry, and I lost my words, I should fight!" Xu Guangsheng ignored the swelling pain on his face, hurriedly picked up the teapot, carefully poured tea and water for the two, and made amends again and again, "I mean...... Zhao Xin and according to Chen's status, assassinating them was tantamount to humiliating the Great Song Emperor and the Mongol Great Khan, and it was tantamount to declaring war on the Song and Mongolia at the same time. This is not a joke, and if you are not careful, you will lose your life......"

However, in the face of Xu Guangsheng's sophistry, Lu Tingxiang did not move at all, did not say a word, and still stared at him intently.

"Ahem......" Seeing that Lu Tingxiang was not plagued or angry, Xu Guangsheng's heart became more and more panicked, and he smiled dryly, "Tingxiang, you are a native of the rivers and lakes, and you have always only cared about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, so why provoke the imperial court? Actually, I am worried about you, but I know that once the people of the rivers and lakes are involved in the grievances of the imperial court, they are bound to be overstretched and die." I don't know what friends you're looking for to help?But if he instigates you to deal with Zhao Xin and Zhao Chen, you must be uneasy and kind......"

"Okay!" Lu Tingxiang interrupted Xu Guangsheng's talking, and at the same time handed him a handkerchief, and said lightly, "I understand what you mean, but I can also tell you plainly, this matter is ready to be sent on the string, and we can't afford to back down." ”

"What do you mean?" Xu Guangsheng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said worriedly, "What is 'arrow on the string'? Whose arrow is on whose string?"

"Your arrows are on the strings of Jin Fuyu. Lu Tingxiang hit the nail on the head, "The 'line' you asked Zhu Lao to transcribe is now in the hands of Jin Fuyu, and he is also a friend I found to help." If you refuse to cooperate, no one knows what Jin Fuyu will do with the 'line post'? Based on what I know about him, this person will repay his eyes and never suffer a loss, and if you let him work in vain and return empty-handed, he will most likely send the 'line post' to Lin'an and expose the matter of your leakage of the 'line post' to the imperial court. At that time, even if the Great Song Dynasty does not hold you accountable, the Mongol Khan will not give up. You should know better than me about the Mongols, they are more vindictive than Jin Fuyu. ”

"This ......" When Xu Guangsheng realized the seriousness of the matter, he couldn't help but feel annoyed, and complained, "Tingxiang, you asked me for the post, and you leaked it to Jin Fuyu, how can you put me alone on the cusp now......?" Isn't this a duck to the shelves?"

Hearing this, Lu Tingxiang's brows furrowed slightly, and he asked meaningfully, "What do you mean...... You want to drag me to death?"

"This ......" Xu Guangsheng wanted to speak and stopped, both angry and helpless in his heart. After all, his achievements today are inseparable from the support of the Lu family, so no matter how dissatisfied he is with Lu Tingxiang in his heart, he doesn't dare to fall out with him. After being entangled again and again, Xu Guangsheng could only swallow his anger in order to take care of the overall situation, and muttered unwillingly: "You and I are like brothers, of course I won't harm you......"

"I won't hurt you either. Lu Tingxiang continued, "Guangsheng, you must have heard of the rumors about Jin Fuyu, his ambition is far more than the Central Plains martial arts, and you ...... It is the general he is most eager for now. If you take this opportunity to change course, the future is bound to be limitless. Maybe...... You will become the next Wu Zixu, the next Wang Qian, and the next Han Xin. Isn't commanding thousands of armies and conquering the eight extremes of Kyushu exactly what you've been pursuing all your life?"

It was as if Lu Tingxiang's words were in Xu Guangsheng's arms, causing a trace of hesitation to flash in the depths of his eyes.

"The court of the Great Song Dynasty regards you like a mustard, and allows you to flatter and please you in every way, but they refuse to reward you even a 'Duyu Marquis'. Sikong Zhu took the opportunity to open his mouth and deliberately uncovered Xu Guangsheng's scar, "You are over forty years old, and there are fewer and fewer opportunities to shine, but you are still a little-known little capital, and it is very likely that you will stop here in this life, are you really willing?"

"I ......" Thinking that he tried his best to please Lord Qian, but Lord Qian sneered at him, Xu Guangsheng couldn't help but feel disheartened and sighed, "The court doesn't know anyone, so it's a pity that it's useless to ...... it."

"Opportunities don't come by waiting, but by yourself. Lu Tingxiang reminded, "There is an excellent opportunity right now, which can make you leap into the dragon gate and break the earth." As the saying goes, 'good birds choose trees to perch, and good ministers choose their lords and things', since the Great Song Dynasty court is unwilling to reuse you, why don't you find a virtuous lord who really needs you, appreciates you, and cherishes you?"

Lu Tingxiang's words made Xu Guangsheng's heart tighten, and he hesitated: "What do you mean...... Jin Fuyu is the Maven Mingjun?"

"At least wiser than the Great Song Emperor. ”

"But no matter how powerful Jin Fuyu is, he is just a hero ...... the rivers and lakes"

"This is wrong!" Lu Tingxiang corrected, "It's not me boasting, I, Lu Tingxiang, am now a well-known figure in the rivers and lakes." On the surface, Jin Fuyu and I are both overlords, even if there is a gap between Jiangnan Lufu and Jin Jianwu, there will not be too much difference, right?"

"Not bad!"

"In this case, why did Jin Fuyu dare to assassinate Chen and Zhao Xin at the risk of offending Song and Mongolia, but I didn't dare?"

"This ......," Xu Guangsheng muttered, "because you are more rational than Jin Fuyu......

Because Jin Fuyu's true strength is far more than what outsiders see. Lu Tingxiang said seriously, "Jin Jianwu is just an illusion that Jin Fuyu used to cover himself, compared to his hidden strength, Jin Jianwu is just a drop in the bucket." Even so, Jin Jianwu's strength is still far superior to many sects in the rivers and lakes, large and small, and even my Jiangnan Lufu is no match for his 'nine cows and a dime'. ”

"Shhh

Xu Guangsheng gasped, his face was cloudy, and he seemed to be suspicious.

"What do you mean...... Are the rumors that are making a fuss between the DPRK and China true? Kim Fuyu ...... Is it true that there are soldiers and horses hidden in Hengshanzhai?" Xu Guangsheng asked in disbelief.

"There is no wind and no waves, and there is no wind in the air. Lu Tingxiang did not answer directly, but smiled secretly, "I have discussed with Jin Fuyu, and after the matter is completed, he will give you a chance to display your talents and ambitions." Guangsheng, I still want to borrow you to have a good relationship with Jin Fuyu, how can I let you be my substitute ghost?"

"Ting Xiang, I just lost my mouth for a while, I definitely don't doubt your ......" At this moment, Xu Guangsheng's tone was much soothed compared to just now, and his eyes were much more sincere.

"Needless to say, you and my brother have a tacit understanding. Lu Tingxiang interrupted Xu Guangsheng's defense and continued, "Jin Fuyu is not a fool, what will be the consequences of assassinating Chen and Zhao Xin, he knows better than you and me. In case the matter is revealed, the culprit is him, and you and I can only be regarded as accomplices. Therefore, Jin Fuyu is more worried about the East Window incident than we are, and his plan and deployment will inevitably be more cautious and thoughtful than you and me. ”

Xu Guangsheng thought about it, and his face was deep, as if he was carefully considering Lu Tingxiang's bitter heart.

"Right now, we and Jin Fuyu are grasshoppers tied to a rope, one is prosperous, and the other is lost. Sikong Zhu interjected, "Retreat from the battle, you will definitely die." Only by letting go can we have infinite vitality. ”

"It seems...... I have no choice but to agree to cooperate with Jin Fuyu?" Xu Guangsheng's eyes were full of melancholy, "Do you know that once I do this, everything I worked hard for in the first half of my life will be in vain......

"Only by breaking the old can you create a new!" Lu Tingxiang said with a straight face, "What's more, from the moment I handed over the post to Jin Fuyu, the achievements of the first half of your life have disappeared." Therefore, you have no choice. ”

"That's it!" Xu Guangsheng was shocked, and said loudly, "Anyway, stretching out your head and stabbing your head, shrinking your head is also a knife, just die!"

Seeing Xu Guangsheng's compromise, Lu Tingxiang and Sikong Zhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, although I have three hundred soldiers and horses, they are all from the Praetorian Guard camp, and they are not of the same mind as me. Xu Guangsheng changed his words and said busily, "In case they find that the situation has changed and refuse to listen to my orders......"

"It's not impossible. Lu Tingxiang pondered, "How many cronies do you have?"

"There are only a dozen brothers brought from the camp in Quanzhou. ”

"Enough!" Lu Tingxiang made up his mind and made a decision immediately, "Tomorrow night, don't be in a hurry to make a move on Liu Xunyi." Jin Fuyu's men arrived in Yunya Town around the time of Yuzi, and before that, you will definitely send your cronies to deal with the three hundred soldiers of the Praetorian Guard Battalion to prevent them from defecting. ”

"How to solve it?" Xu Guangsheng said in surprise, "We only have a dozen ...... of them"

"Use the incense!" Sikong Zhu had a flash of inspiration and proposed, "In the dead of night tomorrow night, you let your cronies blow the incense into each guest room and stun Liu Xunyi and the three hundred sergeants." ”

"It's so good that the soldiers are bloodless!" Xu Guangsheng nodded slowly, "That'...... How can I tell who Jin Fuyu is tomorrow night?"

"The yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will not be returned if it is not broken. Lu Tingxiang beckoned Xu Guangsheng to come forward and said in a low voice, "This is the code for you and Jin Fuyu's men and horses." You don't need to do anything tomorrow night, they'll take care of all the troubles. ”

Suddenly, Xu Guangsheng grabbed Lu Tingxiang's arm tightly, and said righteously: "Tingxiang, I will ...... the future and destiny of the rest of my life." I'll leave it all to you!"

"Rest assured, we are family!"

Lu Tingxiang gently patted Xu Guangsheng's arm with his hand and showed him a relieved smile.

"That's right!" Sikong Zhu glanced at the door and said worriedly, "The sergeant who just talked to you outside the door will talk nonsense when he returns......

"Don't worry about Zhu Lao, I'll solve it. ”

"How to fix it?"

"You once taught me that only dead people can't speak!" Xu Guangsheng's eyes were fierce, and he said coldly, "Since I have no choice but to accompany you to the dark." Rest assured, I won't leave anything to chance. ”

Sikong Zhu nodded with satisfaction and said with a sneer: "Sooner or later, one day you will understand that everything you have paid today is worth it." ”

"Ting Xiang, Zhu Lao, I can't stay here for a long time, so as not to arouse suspicion. If nothing else, I'll take my leave. ”

"After tomorrow night, you go back to Jinjianwu with Jin Fuyu, and I will wait there to catch the wind and wash the dust for you!"

Lu Tingxiang replaced wine with tea and toasted Xu Guangsheng with a glass.

Seeing this, Xu Guangsheng's solemn face forced a complicated smile, and then snatched the door out and quickly disappeared at the end of the bustling crowd.
