Lu's relatives

Chapter 558

A wise man is bound to miss something.After all, Jushou underestimated Cao Cao's control over Xuchang.Seeing the chaos in Xuchang, he thought he had a plan at the same time, but he didn't know the whereabouts of himself and Yuan Shang. In fact, Cao Cao had already been following him.It was Cao Cao's wholehearted plan to catch "big fish" for a long time, so that until now, Ju Shou and Yuan Shang were still able to disguise themselves in Xuchang City, which was built like an iron barrel by Cao Cao.

"It seems that your information is not bad. The Yuan family's king-killing thief actually came to the Mi's firm." Pretending to be calm, Shi Shiran followed his memory and came to the place where the Mi's firm was located. He didn't notice at all. Not far behind him, Cao Xiu with a gloomy face was clenching his fists and turned his head to lead the way. Xu Fei, the guard of the city gate, said that he received a compliment from the latter, but he didn't notice the complex meaning flashing in the eyes of Xu Huang who also came.

"Dare to ask...Mr. Ziyuan..." From the city gate to Mi's house, if you walk a little faster and know the way, it will actually only take a quarter of an hour, which is very short, but such a short journey makes Yuan Shang feel like After walking for dozens of miles, the entire inner lining is actually soaked through.Because of Cao Jun’s martial law order, there were no people left on the street. The cold wind got into the clothes that were temporarily “shun” and didn’t fit very well, turning the sweat into ice slag immediately. The chill was so bitter that Yuan Shang couldn’t help it. Trembling, but not daring to stop for a while, when he finally arrived at Mi's House, he had exhausted his last bit of strength.He looked up and saw that the people in the firm were closing the door due to Cao Jun's decree. Yuan Shang took a deep breath and walked in. Just when he was about to ask, he happened to see an "acquaintance".

"Third son? Why are you here?" Xu You was ordered by Lu Bu to come to Xuchang for "inspection".Although even Xu You doesn't know what inspection is, and he doesn't know why Lu Bu sent himself to the territory of his young friend on business, but now Xu You, who is very honest in Lu Bu's army, is arrogant and true, but he is also true. He is a person who does things, and he agreed without asking too much.Unexpectedly, just a few days ago in Xuchang, he heard the jaw-dropping news that the emperor was assassinated.Xu You was also really panicked, and after hearing the martial law in Xuchang and the military order to seal off the four cities, he was discussing in a low voice with the head of Mi's firm how to send the news back to Qingzhou as soon as possible, when he suddenly heard someone call out his real name , was taken aback and looked back suddenly, and saw Yuan Shang appearing at the door in a mess.

"Mr. Ziyuan, save me! I... I got into trouble!" Seeing Xu You, the former member of the Yuan family who he often saw at home when he was young, Yuan Shang said in a trembling voice now that he couldn't care less.

"Master, be careful! Come with someone!" Ju Shou's calculations were good. Although Xu You was "first" to demote Lv Bu, he had a good relationship with Yuan Shao as a young man, and later they worked hard together in Hebei. It is not an exaggeration to watch Yuan Shang grow up.Now, seeing Yuan Shang again under such circumstances, and hearing what Yuan Shang blurted out, those were the words that Yuan Shang, who got into trouble when Xu Youshang was a guest at Yuan Shao's mansion, often said. At this moment, although Xu You was hesitant, he really didn't know. What is it like.

"Go in! Go in! Two generals, let's catch this thief and clear up the grievances for the lord!?" Seeing Yuan Shang entered the gate of Mi's house, the shop was about to put the last door on it, Cao Xiu and Xu Huang hadn't said anything yet, but Xu Fei, the city gate guard, was rather overwhelmed by the idea of ​​meritorious service, and said hastily.

"Hmph! General Xu is teaching me how to do it?" Cao Xiu agreed with Xu Fei's proposal, and was about to nod when Xu Huang said suddenly.

"Huh?!" Cao Cao trusted Xu Huang so much that he even entrusted the defense of Xuchang to Xu Huang. Strictly speaking, Xu Huang was the immediate boss of Xu Fei, who was the city gate guard.Being "ordered" by Xu Fei is really unreasonable.Just now Cao Xiu didn't care about it, but now that Xu Huang said it, Cao Xiu was also taken aback, and nodded slowly to see how Xu Fei would respond.

"No, no, how dare the last general! General Xu, don't misunderstand!" Xu Fei, who was originally beaming with joy, was shocked by Xu Huang's words, as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his head.Xu Huang and Cao Xiu are not the brothers who brag and fart with themselves at the city gate on weekdays. One of them is the clan son of the lord Cao Cao, whom Cao Cao calls my family's thousand-mile horse, and treats them like his own sons. The general who had been with Cao Jun for a long time even rejected the recruitment of Qin Xu, the second in command of Lv Bujun, the governor of Xuzhou, so Cao Cao valued him very much. Cao Cao raised it high and lowered it gently, ordering to participate in the current arrest operation, obviously to let him make up for his merits and demerits.Speaking of which, when Xu Fei thought about it at this moment, he really didn't have much decision-making weight in front of these two people who were valued by Cao Cao.Not to mention leapfrogging and "giving orders".It's no wonder that Xu Huang, who is always humble on weekdays, became really angry.

"Wen Lie, do you still remember what the lord said when he asked me to come and monitor Yuan Shang?" Xu Huang ignored Xu Fei who was smiling and bowing repeatedly, and Xu Huang said to Cao Xiu, who obviously agreed with Xu Fei's proposal.

"Isn't Gongming a matchmaker? The lord's order, can this be forgotten?" Cao Xiu's attention was on Yuan Shang who was about to enter the business. Hearing Xu Huang's question, he was also taken aback, and replied: " Isn't it just for us to take a chance to seize the evidence that Yuan Shang's crime of killing the king is related to the one in Qingzhou? What else? Look inside, that guy Yuan Shang is already talking with someone, if you don't do it, what's more? When will it be?"

"Since it's so fierce, let it go! I will fight for you! In the future, the lord will be held accountable, and I will make things right for you. Forgive me, the lord treats you very kindly. I think it will be of some use if the time comes!" See Cao Xiu looked like he didn't care much, Xu Huang chuckled lightly, made a gesture of invitation to Cao Xiu, and said.

"What does Gongming mean? Could it be that the lord doesn't want to catch this thief?" Cao Xiu turned his head in surprise when he heard this, glanced at Xu Huang, and said with a little doubt: "Gongming, I heard that you You and Qin Xu, governor of Xuzhou, are poor and humble friends, don't you... don't you have other ideas?"

"Oh! Wen Lie is right!" Seeing what Cao Xiu said, Xu Huang, the good old man, was not annoyed. The effect is the best if you say it face to face. Let's see if the lord is as confused as you."

"Gongming, what do you mean?" Although Cao Xiu was Cao Hong's nephew who was killed by Qin Xu in a fit of rage, he was not as reckless as Cao Hong. Hearing Xu Huang's words, he couldn't help hesitating for a moment, and asked ponderingly: "Xiu just had no intention If there is any offense, I will make an apology first, and I hope General Xu will make it clear."

"Wen Lie doesn't have to be like this!" Xu Huang didn't seem to take Cao Xiu's doubts to heart. He glanced at Xu Fei, paused and said, "Wen Lie, think carefully. If the lord just wants to catch Yuan Shang and Lu Bu If there is evidence that the military is involved in such a major event, do I need to wait and come here with such fanfare? Under the governance of the lord, Xuchang has long been like an iron bucket. Who owns the Mi family firm and what is it doing Do we still need to prove it? Under the premise of such a major event, as long as we find the figure of these two king-killing thieves, it only takes a dozen soldiers to swarm up. Two helpless thieves? But the lord wants me to go through all this trouble, why, it's possible that Wen Lie didn't think about it?"

"Hmm! Brother Gongming is right! My lord's military order is really suspicious, so could it be that there is something deeper in it?" Cao Xiu, who knew Cao Cao well, was also frowned after hearing Xu Huang's words. Frowning, finally nodded and said.

"My lord, the old friendship is the most important thing! Besides, my lord doesn't want to break up with Lu Bujun prematurely!" Xu Huang said: "Wen Lie has heard the lord's words, because he doesn't want our old neighbor It's too leisurely to sit on the sidelines. The implication is that I don't want to make things too tense. Therefore, I only sent Zihe and the general to lead the tigers and leopards to capture Jushou, but I was sent to wait here to follow Yuan Shang. If what Huang expected is correct, Yuan Shang is after all the beloved son of the lord in the old days, and the lord must not bear to harm him. Moreover, if the current incident is spread, although the clear ones will be clear, and the muddled ones will be clear. However, after all, some things cannot be easily washed away. Some people who have long been jealous of the lord may have been waiting for this opportunity to make trouble. At that time, as Mr. Gongda worried, Jing Xiang Liu Biao , Yizhou, Liu Yan and others, if they take action, Hebei will definitely not stop, and the fact is that they are facing enemies all around. Ordinary fate. At this time, it is more cost-effective for a tyrannical person to find a neighbor who can stand with us against the heroes of the world than to erect an enemy who is close at hand. Wen Lie thought carefully Bar!"

"Oh! Sure enough! That's right! That's how it should be! Thanks to Brother Gongming, Huo almost made a big mistake! Then what does the lord mean by sending us here? Could it be that it's really like Brother Gongming?" What I said this time, was I wanting to grab Lv Bu's handle, but also not wanting to cause too much trouble? But it's too much fanfare, right?" Regardless of what Xu Huang's ultimate intention was when he said these words, what he said at this moment Cao Xiu really listened to the words, because Cao Xiu’s words quoted by Xu Huang were indeed heard by Cao Xiu, and now they are combined by Xu Huang in such a way. To Cao Xiu, it seems like Maybe that's what Cao Cao meant, but after thinking about it again, I always felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't detect where it went wrong.

"Let's just wait and see what happens! Anyway, Mi's House is here, Yuan Shang has already entered, and the surrounding area is surrounded by our soldiers. I'm afraid they might run away. Maybe later After a while, the lord has a clear military order!" Xu Huang said.

"It seems that this can only be the case for now!" Cao Xiu nodded and said.

Seeing that Cao Xiu stopped wanting to order the march, Xu Huang took the opportunity to turn sideways and let out a sigh of relief, but a young man's face appeared in his heart, and he murmured: "What can you say?" I've said it all, and it's up to you to wait for the good fortune. The owed kindness can be regarded as repaying some! A... can only do this!"
