Chapter 1102 Meeting
Qubei walked through the crowd anxiously. In order to hide his eyes and ears, he put on a set of coarse Han clothes and covered his face with a piece of cloth.It was very noisy around him at this time, double-shaft carts full of goods rumbled over the loess street, vendors on both sides of the street were selling roasted sweet potatoes, salted fish in white water, and boiled water mixed with sliced ginger and salt, and there were children from time to time Holding a paper kite and running.
He turned a blind eye to all of this, and hurriedly walked towards the "Xuanwu Pool" with his head down.
The "Xuanwu Pond" is actually just a small pond with a square of two miles. The water surface in the pond is often covered with straw, cloth pieces, food residues and dirt, and occasionally a woman's menstrual belt.There is a stone tablet under the big sycamore tree next to the pond, on which the words "Xuanwu Pool" are written in official script.
There is no historical record of when this small pond was dug and built, and there is no evidence of who gave it such a name.However, the residents near Zhumadian don't care about these things. The water source in Anyi is scarce, and they are lucky to have such a pond for bathing, washing clothes, and even cooking. As for the name of the pond, they don't know. care.
Go to the locust tree by the pond and look around.On the left are two civilians squatting on the root of a tree and chatting, while on the right a group of children are happily digging for earthworms; in the distance, a clerk in a wine shop is scooping up wine for the drinkers, and the nearby blacksmith shop can hear the sound of iron striking.The crows on the tree croaked hoarsely.He took a deep breath, took out a piece of red silk from his pocket, bent down to pretend to tie his shoelace, and tied the silk to the root of the locust tree closest to the stone tablet.
This simple action seemed to consume all of Qu Bei's physical strength, he straightened up hastily, and returned back the same way in a little panic.As he left the pond and returned to the street, a voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Has Master Qubei finally figured it out?"
Qu Bei hastily turned his head, and saw a young man standing behind him with a smile on his face.This young man was about 20 years old, and he was dressed in a very strange attire. He had a gentle face, but he was dressed in short clothes that only poor commoners could have. There was also a green ribbon tied around his waist. He was a typical bartender.
"You...why are you dressed up like this today?"
"The stronghold of Zuidongfang was exposed, so I naturally changed my identity again." The young man asked with a sincere smile. No one would have thought that he was actually the middleman of the Wei family in charge of contacting the Xiongnu.Qu Beisan nodded, not daring to answer much, and glanced to the side: the two disguised people from the Ma family were standing in the distance looking at him, and one of them was Wei Yan.
"It's not convenient to talk here, let's go to my restaurant for a while." The boy then invited.
"Your wine shop?"
"It's right next to it. If you don't mind my lord, you can sit there and have a slow chat with me." The young man waved his arms and said, "There is no one there, so don't worry, my lord."
Qu Beisui looked with the finger of the young man, and happened to see the sign of "Li Ji" in the wine shop by the pond, and realized that he was the guy in the wine shop just now.There are only a few sparse young trees between the counter of the restaurant and the pond. He can easily monitor the movement of Xuanwu Pond just by sitting on the counter. No wonder he can detect Qu Bei's appearance so quickly.
"I don't even know your identities now, let alone where your sharp weapons come from." Qu Bei recalled Ma Chao's explanation, and began to say slowly: "I don't think it is necessary for me to trade with you. You know, today's Most of the Xiongnu tribe have gradually begun to accept the Ma family..."
"I'm Wei Kai, and at the same time, I'm Li Wei, the boss of Drunk East a few days ago." The young man didn't wait to finish his sentence, and directly revealed his identity.This kind of straight-forward sharpness made Qu Bei a little stunned. Seeing this, the young man continued to speak: "As for the source of those sharp weapons, there is no need for adults to know. You only need to understand that those things are beneficial to the Huns. Isn't it?"
"No, we Huns have never been as cunning as you Han people. I always feel that there must be a conspiracy in this matter that we can't grasp." Hearing this, Qubei has completed the task that Ma Chao explained.Therefore, he didn't want to get entangled, and he didn't want to know too much about the inside story. He pretended to be serious and said, "Several of my subordinates have died innocently, and I don't want to get caught up in it myself. Let me go!"
After saying this, Qubei quickly turned around and left without waiting for Wei Kai's response.Wei Kai obviously didn't expect Qubei to make such a big turn all of a sudden, so he couldn't help being taken aback.He folded his hands in front of his chest and looked at Qu Beilai's back, with an inexplicable expression on his gentle and jade-like face.
The two people standing at the far corner saw all this, one of them waved his hand, and said to Wei Yan beside him: "Let's go, the target has been confirmed, today's task ends here."
"This, this is the end? Just let that Qubei leave so easily? Shouldn't he pretend to cooperate with them and obtain further information?" Wei Yan asked a little puzzled. From the perspective of the hardline generals, what the Xiongnu did was already a betrayal of the Ma family, not to mention letting Qubei invade the enemy camp, even if they sacrificed their lives, it was nothing more than atonement.
But Yang Xiu took a last look at the Liji restaurant and replied: "Qubei is the right king of the Huns after all. Although our Ma family has always been extremely tough in our attitude towards the Huns. But General Wei, don't forget, Now Liu Bao is the king who truly unified the Xiongnu tribe. However, our Ma family has been trapped on the battlefield of Jizhou. Within three years, it is impossible to send out a single soldier to conquer the Xiongnu. Therefore, the lord has no choice but to retreat. One step to the sea and the sky."
Wei Yan quickly figured out the key points, and understood Ma Chao's painstaking efforts: "Then what should we do next?"
"Hey, it depends on the master's taste." Yang Xiu said with a smile, he already had a plan in his heart: "I hope the master can be gentle, so that we can carefully and comprehensively mess up Cao's deployment, and find out Those people behind the scenes. But considering the current situation, I think the lord will be more brutal and direct."
Wei Yan didn't really like to speculate on Yang Xiu's meaning, and was a little annoyed with Yang Xiu's unintentional showing off, so he said, "Don't block me, idiot, there is no mystery in it. It's just that you want to use Wei Kai to dig out slowly. Those who are behind the scenes, and the lord wants to smash Cao's conspiracy as soon as possible, so tomorrow he will directly visit the Wei family."
Yang Xiu obviously didn't expect Wei Yanneng to say these words, he glanced at Wei Yan with interest, turned and left: "You are a general with ideas, different from others. However, don't be in front of the lord. Show too much, he doesn't like smart people like you."
"Are you self-righteous?" Wei Yan sneered, turned around and walked in other directions: "The people around the lord, except for the resourceful people who can really keep pace with the lord, how many people should there be? How much effort I put in, that's the reason why I quickly took charge. But you, because you are smart, have always made the lord worry about letting go..."
Yang Xiu was taken aback when he heard the words, he never imagined that today he, who was always self-confident, would be despised by a martial artist whom he didn't care much about.Moreover, what's even more damning is that the reason he despises seems to be correct.
So, should you be aware of this?
Inadvertently, Yang Xiu had already walked to the gate of Wei Mansion.He glanced at the deserted gate, with complicated emotions in his eyes: he understood that Ma Chao's official visit to the Wei family tomorrow would abruptly cut off the Wei family's participation in the plan to destroy the Ma family.Once the source of no water appears here in the Wei family, then there will be calm in Chang'an;
However, Yang Xiu also had his own thoughts at this time. Perhaps, he could use his own method to figure out who the executor who designed this conspiracy was, and what were the specific measures for this conspiracy?
After coming up with such a result, would that fellow Wei Yan still mock him so aggressively?From the lord's side, maybe there can be a satisfactory answer - I have indeed been complacent under that person's wing for a long time, and it is time to show my edge.
