Three Kingdoms: I rely on system loopholes to survive
Chapter 208 Escape
The companions defected so quickly and had a pleasant conversation with the Taishi Ling. They even revealed the fact that they had already met each other in their words. This made the Dongjun officials on the side tremble with fear. They were afraid that the faces of these people in front of them would change in the next moment. It cost him his life.
After finally waiting for these people to stop talking, he tremblingly squeezed out a voice from his throat and begged for mercy at every opportunity: "Since Taishi Ling left the official here, Xiangbi is also a useful place for upgrading and downgrading. Although the downgraded official's official position is small, he can do it. Some words and deeds..."
Seeing that Zhongping didn't express his position, sweat broke out on his forehead, his mind was spinning rapidly, and he boldly continued: "If Taishi Ling wants to leave Xudu, there is a way for him to go down."
He blurted out these words in a hurry to save his life, but he regretted it as soon as he said it.
Since they already knew that the purpose of these people was to leave Xudu, and they set up an ambush here early to trick him out of the car, they naturally had a thorough plan. How could it be his turn to give them unreasonable advice?
He wanted to bite off his tongue and swallow the words he just said back into his stomach. The more he thought about it, the more panicked he became, and the more panicked he became, the more scared he became. Sweat was pouring from his body, and most of his back was soaked to the skin.
Zhong Ping secretly wondered, this person is so cowardly and incompetent, how could Dongjun send such a person to deliver the account books? What is the difference between this and Li Yan's use of Gou'an to transport grain? Thinking like this, he glanced at the lucky card in the system column out of the corner of his eye. Zhongping suddenly felt that it would be a good idea to experience Sima Yi's happiness. With a smile on his lips, he helped Sima Yi up with his own hands: "Why did Ling Shi say this? Although it is Everything happened for a reason, and Ping was offended first. I am really ashamed to receive this great gift."
That made Shi Qiang stand up with a smile. Even though he was scolding the person in front of him for being completely hypocritical, in the end he was stronger than others and had to face it with a smile, not daring to show any dissatisfaction.
He briefly wiped the cold sweat off his face and replied cautiously: "Taishi Ling obeyed the authority in urgent matters out of helplessness. The lower official naturally understood... The lower official Li Xian, it seems, has a connection with Taishi Ling."
"Oh?"
Zhongping climbed into the carriage while looking at the time. Li Meng had already replaced the original coachman and sat in front of the carriage, and the remaining soldiers of the Northern Army had replaced the few soldiers standing nearby.
Ling Shi finally got free, but he looked at a loss on his face. He struggled in his heart for a moment, and when he saw Zhongping nodded to him, and the others showed no intention of stopping him, he grabbed the corners of his robe and got into the car.
"The lower officials, Li Xian and Li Zhenyou, are members of the Cheng family."
Zhong Ping felt something sounded familiar. He felt the shaking caused by the carriage and thought for a moment: "Could it be from the family of General Li Qian and Li Gaoming?"
"Exactly, exactly."
After finally making some connections, Li Xian relaxed visibly: "It's Uncle Xiaguan."
Zhongping didn't have a close relationship with Li Qian. He understood Li Xian's temperament and knew that most of his plan to leave Yanzhou was completed. At this time, he estimated in his mind how long it would take for Xu Du Nei to settle down, while continuing to imitate the next step. Thinking about the various situations he would face during the journey, he casually asked: "Why is it that Brother Li is here to deliver this account book this time?"
"Don't dare, don't dare."
Li Xian began to sweat again. He lowered his head to wipe the sweat on his head. Unexpectedly, the carriage drove faster and faster. He staggered and almost fell on the seat: "The official title of Taishi Ling is... ...To be honest, Mancheng was supposed to be on this trip...it was Xiaguan's clan brother who came, but Xiaguan heard that there was a Hanoi businessman of the same gender, so he thought of it and came on his behalf. "
He was filled with regret at this moment. If he had known that something like this was going on, he would not have come even if he was forced to do so with a knife!
Zhongping fell into deep thought and asked again uncertainly: "The clan brother Zhenyou mentioned...could it be that his surname is Li Mingdian?"
Li Xian was stunned. Could it be that he really let himself get involved? But no matter how hard he thought about it, he couldn't figure out how his unknown clan brother fell into the eyes of Tai Shiling.
"Yes, it is indeed Li Dian."
The departure of the Cai sisters has not yet been known to anyone in Xudu. Now almost everyone's attention in Xudu is focused on Dong Cheng.
"What are your next plans, Mr. Waiter?"
Fu Wan listened to the news reported by his men, and knew that Dong Cheng's temporarily pulled up troops were at the end of their strength and would be completely defeated in a short time. At this moment, Fu Wan's view of Dong Cheng became extremely complicated.
In the past, I only thought that this man was greedy for power, and was full of cliques for personal gain, and the selfish motives of excluding dissidents. However, I did not expect that in such a large capital, this man was the only one who dared to eliminate thieves for His Majesty. When Dong Cheng died, all the officials in the court Wouldn’t it be that he is more afraid of Cao Cao than tigers and wolves?
After lying down, I could only sigh endlessly and feel endless sorrow. From the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of the face in the mirror, with frost-like hair on the temples and a frown on the forehead.
Zhu Zhan raised his head and said: "Someone has helped us disturb this pool of water. There may not be such a good opportunity in the future. Next, we will naturally do our best to save His Majesty from the fire and water."
"You mean?"
Fu Wan understood the idea in his heart and shook his head in disapproval: "Although I have the position of Jinwu Guard, I cannot fully control the palace. It is difficult to take His Majesty out of the palace, so why leave the city? Let alone leave Yanzhou. Instead of doing this Damn, it’s better to wait for my life to assassinate Cao Cao.”
"How can you know if you haven't tried it yet?"
Zhu Zhan used to say that he was bold in planting and editing, but in fact when it was his turn, he dared to do it more than anyone else.
Fu Wan thought for a moment in his heart: "...Do you have any way to get out of the city?"
"I don't have it, but Zhong Ji does."
Zhu Zhan said: "The news from Liangzhou will arrive in a while. I won't be able to calm down for a while. The king must seize the opportunity."
Fu Wan was shocked. He never expected that there was something about Liangzhou. After calming down and thinking about it, he could only attribute the matter to Dong Cheng passing on the news when he got the edict. However, this transaction would take a long time. How could Dong Cheng keep a trace of the news from him all the time? Moreover, Zhu Zhan had a relationship with Zhong Ji, how come he had never heard of it? Could it be that he has grown old?
Zhu Zhan waited for Fu Wan's answer. He was also so surprised when he received the news from Zhongji.
He never thought that Zhongping would go through such painstaking planning in order to take Zhongping away.
From the Northern Army to Liangzhou, from Dong Cheng to Duan Xuan, almost everyone who could scheme was involved, just to find a way out for themselves and their father.
It's a pity that this life has been watched by Zhongji from beginning to end. Zhongji just silently helped his son clean up, but never considered using it.
"it is good."
Fu Wan finally made up his mind: "I will go to the palace to talk to Your Majesty. Since the servant has come up with this method, should he be sure to intercept the news in the palace?"
"The Northern Army has Mr. Yang with him. He will naturally block any news about His Majesty."
"The former Northern Military Colonel Yang Qi?"
Fu Wan felt that he knew more news in one day than in previous years: "How did the servant persuade me..."
He suddenly remembered that Zhu Zhan once belonged to Yang Biao's faction, so he swallowed the remaining half of his question.
However, Fu Wan was wrong. Zhu Zhan was not the one who persuaded Yang Qi. It was Dong Cheng who actually asked him to go to the Northern Army to incite the old army.
Although he was beaten by Wang Sanyi, Yang Qi, who woke up, did not bother to investigate. After confirming that the trouble caused by Dong Cheng had not stopped and that the Xiahou brothers had not arrived at the Northern Army, he immediately went to find them. Several generals in the army who could be used for their own purposes used the prestige of the Hongnong Yang family to lure these people into their ranks through intimidation and deception. He knew that he could not afford the entire Northern Army, but it was better to have men and horses than nothing.
It was at this time that a small school boy named Huo Qiu came to his door and handed a silk book to him.
Yang Qi was silent for a long time after reading it, and then he immersed himself in the Northern Army, attacking and dispelling them, intimidating and tempting... He spared no effort and used any means to try to control the Northern Army closest to the palace.
When Xun Yu entered the palace to see Liu Xie after Fu, he had just received news of the unusual movement in Liangzhou.
Even Xun Yu couldn't help but frown. There was news about Ma Teng in the city, but it was not widely spread. He suppressed it soon after he found out. At that time, he only thought This news was deliberately spread by someone to disrupt the situation, but it turned out to be true.
While Xun Yu sent people to guard Liu Xie in the palace, he also ordered the city gates to be cordoned off, strictly scrutinizing people entering the city, and at the same time prohibiting people in the city from going out.
Faced with such difficult news, Xun Yu knew that he must quickly suppress the turmoil in the city, so he made two preparations and sent the news about Liangzhou to only Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai.
With Duan Xuan's assistance, Cao Cao was even more powerful than a tiger. Dong Cheng's three melons and two dates were simply not enough against these two men, and the battle situation fell to Cao Cao like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. When he received the news from Xun Yu, Dong Cheng had already been tied up at the foot of the stairs. Duan Yan said that there was a person in Dong Cheng's house who had something to do with him. After informing Cao Cao, he sent a group of troops to capture that person. Li Ru, who was acting like a hanger-on, went there.
Although Cao Cao captured Dong Cheng, he still did not relax. He knew that Dong Cheng would suddenly attack because he received the news of Yang Ding's death. But the problem was that Yang Ding had just died the night before. How could Dong Cheng know about it the next day?
If not, he had tricked Dong Cheng into coming here under the pretense of having a banquet and had already killed all these people. How could there still be this chaos?
Before this matter could be sorted out, Cao Cao glanced down at Xun Yu's letter and his eyebrows twitched almost imperceptibly:
Why is there still something about Ma Teng?
It seems that even though he has frightened the nobles in Yanzhou and established his power through hunting, he is still not completely under his control, and the omissions are like a sieve.
Cao Cao didn't expect to know from Dong Cheng how many "loyal ministers" there were in the court. Anyway, these people were always hard to hold on to such a good opportunity. He just had to wait for these people to show up and clean them out one after another. .
He put down the cloth in his hand and called someone to ask: "Is Lieutenant Zhong still in the house?"
On the other side, after Xi Zhicai read Xun Yu's letter, he stared out the window for a long time, silently taking a few sips of wine. When the previously sweet wine entered his throat, he tasted a bit bitter.
"Cough cough..."
Xi Zhicai wiped the wine stains on his lips with his sleeve. An unprecedented weakness surged into his chest, and he walked to the couch.
"Mr. Xi."
Tannu quietly stepped forward to close the window, and moved the carbon in the carbon basin to make the already not cold room even warmer.
"I have two books on the shelf. You can send them to Cai Mansion for me, cough, cough, cough."
There was no wind in the room, but Xi Zhicai coughed even more fiercely: "Lord..."
He muttered something, and in the end he seemed to mention the word Zhongping. Tannu briefly listened intently, but in the end the voice was too weak, and Tannu did not discern what he said.
"promise."
Tannu took the books from the shelf, put them neatly together, and wrapped them in plain cloth.
"if……"
Xi Zhicai paused for a moment, regained his energy before continuing: "If there is no one in Cai Mansion, just send the book to Zhong Mansion."
Tan Nu instantly realized something. She put the book away, whispered in agreement, and passed Guo Jia when she went out.
This Mr. Guo is here to see Mr. Xi.
A thought flashed in Tan Nu's mind and she stopped: "Can I trouble you, sir, to call the doctor?"
She knew that her voice was too abrupt, and Tan Nu was a little nervous after calling Guo Jia, but she did not regret it.
"Mr. Xi doesn't look very good..."
Tannu saw Guo Jia stop outside the door, and the man's eyes hit her face. At that moment, her palms were full of sweat.
There was a violent coughing sound in the room that seemed to knock out the lungs.
Worry flashed in Guo Jia's eyes, and he hurried away in another direction without saying anything.
Tannu's heartbeat calmed down a bit. She went back to her room and changed some clothes. She walked quickly through the corridor with her head lowered, trying not to look any different from usual.
She went to the Cai Mansion first, but was told by the servant that the two ladies had left the city for Yangzhou. Tan Nu was shocked. She wanted to ask more questions, but after thinking about it, she did not stay in front of the Cai Mansion.
Tannu looked around calmly and found a road with many people. The direction seemed to be back to Cao's Mansion. She circled a few times and made sure that no one was following her. Then she quickly ran to where Zhong's Mansion was. street.
Zhong Mansion has always been deserted. Apart from a few handymen, there was only the old man and the young man.
Zhong Ji returned to his house in the morning and has not left the house. In the open window of the study, a figure in Tsing Yi is taking down the books on the bookshelf, rearranging them in order and putting them back again.
The entire Zhongfu was as quiet as ever before.
"Lieutenant Zhong is at home, I have something important to report!"
Tannu was raised as a domestic concubine in the mansion, and her flesh and bones were immersed in singing, dancing and music. How could she have ever run like this with all her life?
When she stopped, her heartbeat was pounding, her ears were ringing, and she was almost out of breath.
"Come with me."
The old servant didn't even ask Tan Nu what she wanted, and just led her into the gate naturally. As if he saw Tan Nu's doubts, the old servant replied slowly: "The Lord said, everyone today You can enter Zhongfu.”
The bad premonition in Tannu's heart became more and more intense.
The old servant took her to the front hall, exchanged a few words with a younger servant, and then slowly returned to his small concierge.
He closed his eyes and prepared to take a nap as usual, but there seemed to be a lot of visitors today.
"I wonder if Lieutenant Zhong is at home?"
This time it was Cao Cao's men who came.
The old servant was not very happy. He sat for a while before getting up and walking out: "Of course the master is here."
He looked at the man in military school uniform in front of him: "Come with me."
The man had a smile on his face and did not feel that he was being slighted. He followed the old servant's lead and stepped into the Zhong Mansion.
This man had also heard about the strangeness of the Zhong family and his son, so although he saw the deserted appearance of the mansion, he did not show any surprise. He thought about the errand he had received:
Just confirm that the species is in the house.
"I don't dare to disturb the Lieutenant at will...Should I wait in front of the hall?"
Seeing this going deeper and deeper, the captain couldn't help but murmur in his heart even though he knew that there were no female relatives in Zhong Mansion.
"My lord is in the study."
The old servant didn't look back and continued walking forward.
The captain only thought that this old servant was so taciturn by nature. He had also been a low-key in the past. Now he realized that the other party was not happy, so he shut his mouth and followed him attentively. The last doubt in his mind was:
... There are only three or four servants coming and going in this mansion. Are they really enough?
