Lu's relatives

chapter 353
"Clang!" This was the first wine cup Yuan Shu broke.Being able to smash the bronze Jue Zun into pieces shows how angry the Zhong family emperor is now.

"Why is this so? Why is this so! I was appointed by the heavens, and I was favored by the heavens to be the emperor, so how could there be so many evil things in the way?!" Yuan Shu's face was livid, and his eyes were full of scarlet blood, showing a bit of ferocity In other words, the waiter who was waiting beside him stood tremblingly, not daring to make a sound.

"Your Majesty!... This is someone who wants to provoke a war between Your Majesty and Sun Ce's son for profit! Your Majesty must not take advantage of it easily." face, persuaded.After finishing speaking, he slowly bent down, picked up the silk that Yuan Shu had thrown on the ground, and slowly unfolded it, which was astonishingly the same as Yuan Shu's "Appeal" presented by Liu Yao to the emperor Liu Xie.

"Huh? Who is it? Does Yan Qing have any clues?" Yuan Shuli's blood-red eyes filled with murderous aura, against his livid face and gray hair that had come from fleeing all the way, looked like a ghost from hell. It made Yan Xiang take a step back involuntarily.

"This... Actually, it's not very difficult to guess who this person is. Let's just look at the person who benefited the most from the war in Yangzhou, he must be the black hand behind it!" Yan Xiang swallowed, and made a forced move. Said with a somewhat unrestrained and unrestrained appearance on a daily basis, concealing the trembling in his voice.

"Profit? Hmph! Ever since I got the destiny to become a great treasure, how many unwilling people have racked their brains to replace me! Not to mention Sun Ce, Lu Bu, Cao Cao, Liu Biao, and even Li Jue and Guo Si, who wouldn't want to bite me? One mouthful, one piece of the pie? Especially that Chen Ji...huh!" Yuan Shu now hates this former confidant to the bone, and even mentioning his name feels disgusting, so he endured the discomfort for a moment, his face full of anger Said: "Especially after that fellow Chen Ji lost my national artifact, I was even more passive. I really can't think of who would be so vile and write such a proclamation for me... Huh? Does Yan Qing mean anything else?"

"Your Majesty's lesson! In Yichen's opinion, the engraving on the imperial jade seal on this document does not seem to be a fake. That is to say, it is very likely that the owner of the divine weapon intends to harm His Majesty!" Yan Xiang saw that Yuan Shu seemed to have recovered a little, There was no longer the murderous intent that seemed to be about to kill someone in the rage just now, so he quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, pondered for a moment, and said: "When Your Majesty'Xianyou' came here before, Chen Shuzhi It was once said that the imperial jade seal was stolen by a potter. Now it seems that it is the person who got the artifact, and the intention is probably to create an 'illusion' that the artifact is still in the hands of the lord to confuse the world."

"Well! What Yan Qing said is very reasonable! According to what the thief Chen Ji said, my artifact was stolen by a pottery merchant. Where is the pottery merchant now?" Yuan Shu asked with a frown.

"Your Majesty, according to reports, in order to hold Lu Bu back to Qingzhou, the pottery merchant led thousands of elite soldiers from Danyang to chase after him. As a result, Lu Bu captured him alive before he could make a single move. It was also reported that he was captured by Lu Bu's army. Son-in-law Qin Xu and Qin Zhongming escorted Chang'an together with Kong Wenju who failed to seize Qingzhou, so we don't know what will happen in the future." Yan Xiang thought for a while and said, "However, some rumors spread a few days ago that Kong Rong, who tried to seize Xuchang, Tao Ying was left by Wang Yue, the great sword master of the imperial court, and Qin Xu was also attacked outside Xuchang City, and the pottery merchant was also lost."

"Huh? Kong Rong? Tao Ying? Wang Yue? A pottery merchant? Is there any connection between these?" Although Yuan Shu's nature is arrogant, he is also a long-established figure after all. As soon as Yan Xiang finished speaking, Yuan Shu had already Grasping the key point of the question, he frowned and asked: "Yan Qing, do you think it's possible that Lu Bu did all the dirty things in this short period of time?"

"It's not like!" Yan Xiang vetoed Yuan Shu's "truth" in one go!After thinking about it, he shook his head to Yuan Shu after a while and said: "Your Majesty has learned from you. Your Majesty's thoughts are probably exactly what those who really want to target His Majesty want to see."

"Oh? What does Yan Qing mean by these words? It's not long before Lu Bu took control of Xuzhou..." Yuan Shu couldn't continue. In fact, Yuan Shu just blurted out his doubts about Lu Bu, and he immediately felt that something was wrong, and he felt quite uncomfortable. Some doubts are so simple, why can't others see it?Lü Bu's subordinates were not without resourceful people, if it was really Lü Bu who had obtained the Jade Seal of the Kingdom, how could he have made such a move in such a big way, making people suspicious?Lu Bu is the best general in the world, but not the best fool in the world.

"Your Majesty is right!" Yan Xiang flattered Yuan Shu, approached Yuan Shu, and said with a gloomy face, "According to what Chen Shuzhi said, after the pottery 'stolen' the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, he was Lv Bu caught it. It sounded like Lv Bu got the imperial jade seal. In fact, it was not! Whether the artifact was stolen by a potter or not is not credible based on Chen Shu alone. Thinking about it this time Your Majesty's "leisure tour" so far, Chen Shuzhi had been favored by His Majesty before, and he had enough time to accompany around, but why did he willingly fall into the hands of thieves? Didn't he know that he was the one who arranged for His Majesty to come here? High position, how could Cao Cao, Liu Biao, Sun Ce and others who are seeking fame easily spare him?"

"What Yan Qing means is that Chen Ji, that thief, has already made a plan and has a place to go, and a certain person is also in his plan, but it is just a tool for him to advance and avoid disaster?" How come there is an idiom called Zhizi suspects neighbors.But as long as there is suspicion, most of them will make up their own brains, and Yuan Shu is no exception.Being "reminded" by Yan Xiang like this, he immediately remembered that when Chen Ji invaded Xuzhou more than a year ago, Chen Ji single-mindedly arranged the exchanging of old troops with Sun Ce, who was coveted by the legendary artifact.It was as if a bright light suddenly flashed through his mind, and the reasonable plot was automatically completed by Yuan Shu himself, and he firmly believed in it.

"Uh... what your Majesty said is true!" Colleagues are enemies, colleagues are enemies, especially confidantes who are also favored and trusted, and they are enemies for generations.Although Yan Xiang has a good character and is well-known for his intelligence and knowledge, but after all, he and Chen Ji are officials under Yuan Shu's command, so how could they be on good terms with each other.In fact, Yan Xiang just wanted to take advantage of some loopholes this time to make things worse, and the whereabouts of Chuanguo Yuxi, Yan Xiang, who had complained about Yuan Shu's proclaiming the emperor, was not at all interested in his current situation.But he didn't expect Yuan Shu to "deduce" such a "reasonable" context.Instead, Yan Xiang couldn't keep up with Yuan Shu's thinking for a while.

"It's him! It must be him! It must be the unfamiliar wolf cub!" Yuan Shu said viciously, his bloodshot eyes were full of anger, and he seemed to be talking to himself: "Wolf cub Good tricks! Well, he didn't have these calculations, it must be the work of that Zhou family boy! I said why I refused to ask for it again and again, but this time I am so generous, so it turned out to be such an idea!"

"Does Your Majesty know who is plotting against us?" Seeing Yuan Shu's appearance as if he knew everything about the world, Yan Xiang blurted out and asked.

"Hmph! Who else? It must be the children of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu!" Yuan Shu said with a sneer, "Speaking of which, the strategy is really ingenious, and I will inevitably be tricked. It's a pity that these two children are still too tender! I thought it was a seamless scheme, but somehow it still made me see the clues!"

"Could it be that your Majesty thinks that Sun Ce was responsible for this proclamation? But the above-mentioned matter of Kong Rong's writing is of no benefit to them at all. Instead, it is Lu Bu..." Yan Xiang calmed down a little at this moment. At this point, I began to feel that Yuan Shu's refutation before had some truth.

"You don't know that Zhou Gongjin, this kid is young, but his ability to manipulate people's hearts is by no means inferior to anyone in the world. Hmph, but someone knows it! According to his method, of course Kong Rong must be added! If you don't mention the matter of Kong Wenju, how can the eyes of the world be diverted from him as the 'victim' to suspect Lu Bu?" The more Yuan Shu thought about it this time, the more he felt that his speculation was very reasonable, and he sneered , Said: "Everyone knows that when I fought with Lu Fengxian that day, when he had the upper hand, he suddenly retreated. What he did was that Kong Rong wanted to plot his Qingzhou. But it happened to give that Zhou Yu a chance to trick him. That kid must be counting It is certain that the fool of the pottery merchant will definitely buy time for Kong Rong and his younger brother at all costs, so he made up such a story about the pottery stealing treasures, but in private, Chen Ji, who had already taken refuge in the Sun family, made up the story. At the same time, Chen Ji, the thief who separated me from Xuzhou Mu, turned against me, and the minister who lost the barrier forced me to travel here! After learning that the pottery merchant was captured by Lu Bu, he said something to Lu Bu, After some planning, everyone in the world knew that it was Lu Bu who obtained the artifact, but he used my name to make such a statement. Who in the world would doubt that the traitor I defeated would be the biggest pusher behind the scenes? , the plan will come true! Hmph! It’s a good plan!”

"Your Majesty's eyes are as bright as a torch, no matter how subtle Xiao Xiao's scheme is, there is nothing to hide from His Majesty!" Although Yan Xiang felt that there was something debatable in Yuan Shu's words, but seeing that Yuan Shu had fallen into his own reasoning this time, Right now, Yan Xiang felt complacent, because of Chen Ji's matter, Yuan Shu is no longer as confiding with an old man like himself as he was before.After Yan Xiang flattered Yuan Shu against his will, he frowned and asked, "But Your Majesty, since His Majesty's wise plan has already seen through such treacherous tricks. But how should we deal with it next? Treacherous scheme, misfortune diverted to the east?..."

"No! I'm afraid that Zhou Yu's child has thought about it a long time ago. If he ignores it, he must have someone behind him! Besides, since I am in a high position, how can I lower my status and explain to those people!" Yuan Shu said in a deep voice.In fact, Yan Xiang also heard Yuan Shu's implication. Right now, Yuan Shu's forces are enemies on all sides. Explain?Who believes it? !

"But if we followed the trend, wouldn't we have fallen into the plot of the villain? Right now, our strength has not recovered, and our soldiers are exhausted..." Yan Xiang looked at Yuan Shu who was already going crazy, and asked in a low voice with a little uneasiness.At this moment, seeing Yuan Shu's entire face was a little distorted, muttering indistinctly, and his hands clenched more and more tightly, Yan Xiang was a little terrified.Fearing that Yuan Shu would get windy, he would use the few remaining troops to fight Sun Ce recklessly.

"Shut up! I am ordered by the heavens! How can I be threatened by such a small difficulty? Besides, what if I lose the Jade Seal of Chuanguo? Then Sun Ce must obediently print and issue a letter for me? I won't bother him, He has settled his mind for me first, and this move is exactly in line with my wishes! I have made up my mind..."
