Lu's relatives

Chapter 83
In the middle of the night, the footsteps of groups of soldiers disturbed the tranquility of the ancient city of Linzi, the neighing of horses, and the piercing friction of armor pages, all of which meant that something big was about to happen.

"Bang! Bang!"

"Open the door, open the door!"

The gate of the small courtyard of the post house where Yuan Shao's envoys were placed was suddenly smashed. According to the usual practice, except for the guards at the gate who were soldiers from Lu Bu's army, the gates of the small courtyard were guarded by soldiers from Yuan Shao's army brought by Shenpei. .

"Mr. Shen, something is wrong. The post house is surrounded by soldiers from Lu Bu's army?" Looking at the bedding before the trial, the meaningful exclamation didn't stop before the guard at the gate reported.

"What? Did it really fall into Qin Xu's scheme?" Even though the interrogator was very resourceful, he couldn't help hesitating about this sudden situation. He blamed himself for believing Qin Xu's words so easily, and his complexion changed several times. Underneath, pointing to Fengji's quilt wrapped on the ground, he said in a deep voice, "Send this to the inner room first, open the door, and I'll go out and have a look."

"Your envoy, don't panic. Our army is only ordered to track down the Yellow Turban spies. Please restrain your people so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstanding." A tall and thin Lu Bu soldier clasped his fists and said to the examiner who came out of the door : "It's just a routine inspection. Please cooperate with your envoy. In the sinking camp, Sima Mao will ensure that the life and property of your envoy will not be damaged."

"This is a post house. We are the envoys of General Yuan from Jizhou. You are a distinguished guest from Lu Qingzhou, and how can you hide the so-called yellow scarf spies? It's a joke. I don't know if General Sima has a warrant from Lu Qingzhou? If not, you can Don't blame Shen for replying to Lu Qingzhou, saying that the soldiers under his command deliberately provoked a dispute between the two families!" Shen Pei asked loudly with righteous words.

"Mr. Shen, please calm down. We are just doing routine inspections, routine..." Sima Mao frowned when he heard the words, a trace of nervousness flashed across his face, he casually responded to the trial, and deliberately lowered his voice to ask a night watchman next to him. The man with the appearance of a soldier said: "Can you see it clearly? It is true that it will disappear here?"

"Well, maybe, maybe..." The person who was asked by Sima also seemed to be frightened by the words of the judge, he hesitated and couldn't explain why.

Although Sima Mao's conversation between the two was deliberately lowered, the judge still listened to the general idea, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he pretended to be angry and said: "Since General Sima suspects that the judge is harboring important criminals, please come in and search for them." Search, but if you don't find it, hum!"

"The last general dare not! The matter was hasty, please forgive me for offending Mr. Shen, and disturb Mr. Shen's rest, withdraw!" Sima Mao seemed to be frightened by the threatening meaning in the words of the judge, and his hesitant expression turned on his face. After a few turns, he said in a panicked voice.

"Mr. Shen, are these people here for that person?" The guard approached Shen Pei, who squinted and watched Sima Mao and others leave, and asked.

"Perhaps!" the judge said meaningfully.

"Master Qin, do you think we will be suspected by that old fox if we act in such a hurry?" In a corner not far from the post house, Sima, who was still serious just now, rushed forward with a playful smile. Qin Xu, who was hiding in the dark, spoke the words that had just been judged.

"It's okay, no matter how flawless we are, this old fox will not believe me so easily. Now I can only hope that Feng Ji still has the strength to speak, and the judge will have to believe even if he doubts it!" Qin Xu looked at The dim light in the post house in the distance said with a smile.

Qin Xu expected well.For a top strategist like Judgment, he is skeptical of anyone and everything.Even if Qin Xu knew some secrets that were difficult for others to know, his suspicion towards Qin Xu never diminished.If it was doubts about Qin Xu's motives before the trial match, most of them disappeared after seeing Feng Ji, and Sima Mao's timely arrival and whispered conversation with the soldiers on the side made the trial pair doubts about Qin Xu's "sincerity" reduce.Feng Ji is an important counselor of Yuan Shao, and he is heavily guarded. If Sima pretended to make a big fanfare and claim the whole city, it would definitely make the judge doubt whether it was a trick, but these people arrived later, which made the development of this matter more in line with the judge's plan. matching logic.

"Tell the soldiers to work harder. Make yourself presentable and patrol the streets a few more times. I'll treat everyone to a drink some other day," Qin Xu ordered.

"No! Master Qin, just take a look!" Sima promised with a smile.

"Mr. Shen, Feng Ji has woken up!" Just as the judge was wondering whether this might be Qin Xu or Lu Bu's suspicion, the guard suddenly came to report.

"Zhengnan! You really have the style of an ancient righteous man! There was a misunderstanding between you and me before, but I didn't expect you to be considerate of me in every way. If you can return to Yuan Gong's command, Feng Ji will definitely treat Zhengnan brother The horse is the leader!" Feng Ji who woke up was very weak, but he still held on to the trial partner and cupped his hands, saying with an emotional look.

"Brother Yuan Tu, don't do this. You and I are both under Yuan Gong's command. Even if there is a dispute, it is just a dispute of political opinion. It is not a problem to have a personal relationship with you and me. If there is something wrong with the trial, Brother Yuan Tu will definitely give it to the younger brother as before. Point it out!" From the judge's point of view, Feng Ji's violent beating was Qin Xu's idea, but with Feng Ji's wisdom and seeing him now, he would definitely believe that Feng Ji was ordered by him. .The judge had thought about many things that Feng Ji would say to him when he woke up, but he never thought that Feng Ji would take the initiative to admit his mistakes and show favor to him after being beaten.

"Feng Ji is not false, Zheng Nan must not believe it!" Hearing the insincere in the words of the judge, Feng Ji smiled wryly.

"Brother Yuan Tu is serious. Soldiers from the Lu Bu Army came here just now, and they seem to have doubts about Shen's rescue of Brother Yuan Tu. Shen is wondering if there are any loopholes." Shen Pei's eyes turned slightly, looking embarrassed look, said.

"Zhengnan is still so cautious. There is no need to worry. The righteous men you sent made a lot of noise and killed many of them. It was expected that Lu Bujun would be alarmed. But since you have found someone who looks like you If you meet someone who is similar, then they are just skeptical." Feng Ji insisted and said, a little out of breath after just a few words.

"Shen is just a little hesitant. Brother Yuan Tu is seriously injured, so let's get some rest." Shen Pei nodded. In any case, since Feng Ji had relented and didn't mention the beating, there was no need for Shen Pei to force him Explanation.

Killed?Also found a substitute?This kid Qin Xu is really ruthless!It's no wonder that the elite of Lu Bu's army were trapped in the camp and searched all over the city.The judge ordered the attendants to take good care of Feng Ji, and Qin Xu's figure flashed in front of his eyes.It seems that Qin Xu can still believe it for the time being. If he knew that this matter was so easy for him, he might as well give this kid a little sweetness first and let him get Xu You out, so there will be no so many twists and turns.

Linzi City in the night was still in chaos, and it didn't stop until dawn. After receiving the news of the guard's reply, the judge was relieved, and believed Qin Xu's words again.Not long after dawn, the judge received a letter sent by Zang Hong, and as expected, as discussed with Qin Xu before, Lu Bu agreed to meet and discuss the exchange of the two advisers.The judge couldn't help but secretly sighed that Qin Xu's success in Lu Bu's army was not entirely dependent on flattery and luck as he had imagined before. Being able to be an official in Hebei, if you use it well, you may really be a great help to your subordinates.

"Since the Yellow Turban, Dong Zhuo's government has been in chaos, and heroes of the world have emerged one after another. They seek the way to help the Han Dynasty and find opportunities to achieve great things! In today's world, the emperor is in the hands of thieves, and the government orders are not coming out. General Yuan dominates Hebei, and Lu Wenhou To intimidate Shandong, if we can work together, the Han Dynasty will prosper and great achievements will be made!" The trial match is worthy of Yuan Shao's reputation as a counselor, and after meeting with Lv Bu, he first spoke of righteousness, and later put the purpose of Kuangfu The halo of the Han Dynasty.

"I've heard for a long time that Shenzhengnan has the style of an ancient sage, and his reputation is really well-deserved!" Lu Bu was very pleased with the flattery of the judge, and smiled generously, saying: "These days Bu has been busy with military affairs, so I have neglected him." Gao Shi, I beg Mr. Shen not to be offended."

The judge did not dare to do so, and glanced secretly at Qin Xu, who was on the left of Lu Bu, and said: "Wen Hou and General Yuan are both heroes of the world, and they have the same heart to help the Han family. My lord admires Wen very much." Hou punished Dong’s merits, so he played the role of the emperor, and won the post of Qingzhou pastor for Wenhou. This time, the trial came, and I brought a little heart from my lord. I hope that your two armies will always form a good alliance and help the Han Dynasty together.”

"Duke Yuan is polite, and Bu Ye even admires Duke Yuan, and he also has the heart to help each other and help the Han Dynasty together." Lu Bu replied with a smile, such diplomatic rhetoric is also very familiar.

"Wen Hou can say this, I believe that General Yuan will be very happy when he hears about it, and he should introduce Wen Hou as a confidant in the world." The examiner praised Lu Bu again, and immediately changed the subject, sighed, and said: " It’s just that when I was in Huaicheng, there was a riot in Heishan. There were two officials from Jizhou, Xu, who met with me. They once took shelter under Wenhou. My lord thanked Wenhou for his protection and missed them very much. This time, I also intended to take the two gentlemen back home, I wonder if Marquis Wen will see you?"

"This..." Lu Bu pondered for a while, glanced at the gift list presented by the judge, and could see the greedy fool in his eyes, and laughed loudly: "Gong Yuan cares about his subordinates, how can Bu hinder you, Qin Xu , later you will hand over Xu You and Feng Ji, who have taken refuge in our army, to Mr. Shen."

"My lord, Xu has something that I haven't had time to tell, so please forgive me!" Qin Xu suddenly got up and said.

"What's the meaning of Master Qin's words?" Lu Bu asked questioningly, still focusing on the [-] horses on the gift list.

"My lord, there were yellow scarf spies infiltrating the city last night. Mr. Fengji Fengyuantu was...killed!" Qin Xu said in a deep voice with a look of regret on his face.

"What?" Lu Bu was surprised, still holding the gift slip tightly in his hand, and asked in disbelief, "There is such a thing? Why did you report it to me now?"

"My lord, please forgive me!" Gao Shun stood up and said, "After our army got the news last night, the whole city of Dasuo could only protect Mr. Feng's body from being damaged by the thief, but the thief has disappeared."

"Hey, what should we do?" Lu Bu's voice was full of reluctance, and he said to the judge: "Mr. Shen laughed, look at this..."

"Ah!" The judge's face was full of regret, but it seemed to be forcibly held back. After pondering for a long time, he finally sighed and said: "It seems that Feng Ji really has a bad fate. But this is also his fate, Wen Don't continue to pursue it now, and don't hurt the friendship between our two armies! Fortunately, Xu You is safe and sound, and Shen can have an explanation when he goes back."

"It's natural, it's natural! Gao Shun, go quickly and send more soldiers to send Xu You to Mr. Shen's post. Make sure to ensure Mr. Xu's safety." Lu Bu hurriedly ordered.

"Since that's the case, Shenpei is leaving. Yuan Gong's heart is already in Dong'a. Please Wenhou send someone to check and accept. Shen has been here for a long time, and he has to rush back to report to General Yuan. After taking Xu You, he will not report to General Yuan." Marquis Wen has bid farewell, and Marquis Wen please forgive me." The examiner glanced at Qin Xu and said to Lu Bu.Sure enough, the trial match still left a hand, the horse is not in Gaotang but in Dong'e.If Qin Xu got the news and hurried to Gaotang before, he might have fallen into the trap of the trial match.

"It doesn't matter. It just so happens that Bu has something important to do. Qin Xu, I'll see Mr. Shen off on your behalf later." Lu Bu said as if he was eager to send someone to get Yuan Shao's "heart".

"No!" Qin Xu responded.

Qin Xu got up and went with Gao Shun, the judge's partner. Before leaving, he rushed to Lu Bu and gave a thumbs up secretly.

Who said that Lu Bu is stupid and rough, with his facial expressions and movements in place, he is simply a movie king!
