Chapter 129

Zhen Mi has already opened the box with her slender hands. Inside are gold, silver and jade jewelry, each of which is very valuable and very expensive.Guo Tu's eyes lit up, and he said in his heart, "Smile and smile, you must smile, and it's best if you smile and accept your wife."

This bastard.

He grinned loudly after I gave him a horse slap, and with the temptation of money, he completely forgot about the past festivals, and ran all his dissatisfaction with me to the Lingxiao Palace outside the sky.It can be said that one loves money like one's life, profit makes one's mind faint, and thousands of taels of silver wipe out all grievances.I admire you.

Guo Tu only thought that the second son, Yuan Xi, was quite a teachable child, and regretted that he didn't know each other so late.Xin said, I misjudged him before, but in fact this person is quite good.

After receiving my instructions, Zhen Mi hurriedly hit the iron while the iron was hot, flattered her, spoke softly, and exhaled like blue; "Master Guo has managed Jizhou City in an orderly manner these days, and has taken good care of my family. My wife has heard about you a long time ago. He is the number one strategist in Jizhou, he has predicted things like a god, and he has strategized well. Today, this thing is really hard to come up with-"

Before Zhen Mi finished speaking, Guo Tu had already snatched the red lacquer box with a smile on his face; "Madam, you are too polite, how can I accept this, and I must never do this again in the future." Xin said, hurry up Bring you here, I want to kill me.

Zhen Mi almost fainted, thinking, this Guo Tu is really the most shameless person in Jizhou, he cannot be accepted!Then why did you snatch it from me.Oops, my finger was almost broken, it was so cruel.

Guo Tu looked at the treasures in the box one by one, and shouted: "Hey, why is this so embarrassing, this is not good, second son, you must never do this in the future, between you and me, do you still need this? "Put things in the sleeves one by one.

Zhen Mi was dumbfounded, and supported her head with her hands: "Husband, I feel dizzy, and I want to go in and rest for a while."

I smiled wryly: "Okay, you can go." I added in my heart: "My lady, I really feel sorry for you.

"For my son's matter, please speak well in front of the general, Mr. Guo."

Guo Tu was busy sweating profusely and raised his head: "What's the matter?"

I smiled and said, "It's nothing serious, it's just that Li Yang is short of military rations, and I want to ask your lord to help me get some food."

It turned out to be this matter, and I said how to give me a good gift; "This matter is not easy to handle. You also know that the military rations are very tight now, and the situation of Jizhou soldiers is not as good as yours. It was a mess, I gave you a little more because of my old friendship with the young master, if the young master still wants it, this, this is really embarrassing for me."

Guo Tu sighed, looking really embarrassed.He looked at the jewelry and sighed, his expression seemed to tell me that the money was still too little.

I hated it so much that I thought to myself, just let you have a moment.He took out a document from his arms, walked over, handed it to Guo Tu and said, "My lord, I'm planning to buy a house for my mother-in-law these days. Seeing that this house is no longer needed, it's just a matter of time if I'm idle. , if you like it, I can give it to you, anyway, I will buy a new one."

As expected, Guo Tu sucked the marrow. He reached out his hands in the coffin to ask for money. The skin-picking expert saw that the blackmail was successful. He took a look at the house deed, picked it up, and immediately showed a smile; "Actually, the second son's matter is my Guo Tu's What's so difficult about it?"

I pretended to be surprised; "Since my lord is willing to help, I have nothing to worry about, but I don't know how to care about this matter."

Guo Tu thought for a while: "It's easy, as long as the young master meets the lord and presents a memorial, Guo Tu has his own ideas." I was overwhelmed with gratitude, and said in a trembling voice: "Master Guo's kindness, Yuan Xi will never forget it."

Guo Tudao: "Young Master, why be polite? I will take my leave. By the way, I also withdrew the soldiers at the gate. Since you are back, Young Master, you don't need my protection."

This guy is really a businessman, he took the money and handled things neatly, without ambiguity at all.

The General's Mansion has changed beyond recognition, I almost thought I went to the wrong door.The mansion has undergone all-round repairs, exuding resplendent and luxurious light under the sun.On the top of the roof and walls, many bucket arches and cornices were added, making the whole Yuan Mansion look more magnificent and majestic.As soon as you enter the door, there are strange flowers and stones from the Western Regions nearby, and in the distance there is a light blue rockery with misty water vapor. Around the rockery, meandering and wandering to the backyard.On the white stone corridor leading directly to the hall, there are more than a dozen Suzakus with wings spread, which are lifelike.At that time, Suzaku was a pattern used by the imperial court. Yuan Tan's move was somewhat illegal, and he obviously had the ambition to become emperor.

Yuan Tan and Guo Tu greeted him from inside with a smile. He was dressed casually, with a gray and white scribe shirt and a long sword on his side. He looked like a father.It's just that the face is haggard and sallow, and the footsteps are shaky and unsteady, which is obviously the sign of excessive wine.Seeing me, I hurriedly picked up the fork of my robe and went down the steps: "Second brother, you are back. I have been thinking about you these days, and you didn't write back. If this continues, the brotherhood will be alienated." .”

I saw the sincerity on his face, and sighed in my heart, if it wasn't for the right to drive him crazy, how could he come to where he is today.Forget it, the matter is already like this, it is useless to regret it in vain, I have to make a decisive decision.

I didn't wait for him to meet me, so I knelt down on the corridor and cried: "Brother, I didn't expect Yuan Shang to do such a rebellious thing. He really deserves death. How could he become like this? It’s really hard for big brother.”

Yuan Tan was not happy when he heard me talk about my eldest brother. He thought, I am already a general, why am I still so unruly?He glanced back at Guo Tu, blaming him for not informing me.Guo Tu didn't dare to speak, feeling wronged, I had already informed him, it's just that he didn't understand.

Yuan Tan's complexion changed slightly, he reluctantly came over to help me, and sighed: "Forget it, second brother, you don't have to be sad, the third brother has come to this point, it's all because of his own fame and fortune, and this general has no choice He just killed him. His crime is to punish the nine clans, but I think about it, after all, he is a brother, and he still needs to be merciful, but the law must not be broken, or he will not be able to restrain his subordinates in the future, so he only killed his husband and wife. Well, forget it." He deliberately said the word "General" in a raised voice.

I looked at his broad Chinese character face, cloudy and cloudy, a little ruthless, and thought to myself, this is also called mercy.

Yuan Tan can no longer be in power, or everyone will be ruined.I made up my mind and said, "Big—" Yuan Tan's face turned livid.Guo Tu kept coughing and winked.

I woke up immediately, and immediately changed my words: "General, I have something to report." Yuan Tan looked a little better, and pretended to smile: "Why are you so indifferent, the second brother has something to say, you have made great contributions to Jizhou. The general still knows it well. When I ascend the throne as the emperor in the future, the position of the great general must belong to the second younger brother." Yuan Tan felt a little flustered as he spoke.It is obvious that he is at the end of the road, but he still dreams of being the Ninth Five-Year King and becoming the emperor, isn't it ridiculous.

"Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live." In order to stabilize Yuan Tan and take advantage of the coup d'etat, I bowed my head and said loudly, "Don't worry, elder brother, I have already prepared everything in Liyang. Cangting can be recaptured in less than two months." , marching into Guandu, Cao Jun is completely vulnerable in front of me, I am confident that within three months, the main force of Cao Jun will be defeated, Xuchang and Luoyang will be captured, and by then, the general will be able to honor the Yuan family."

Yuan Tan was overjoyed when he heard this, and smiled like a peony flower in full bloom. He stretched out his big hand and helped me; "Second brother can really share my brother's worries, well, if this is true, after the matter is completed, the second brother will be like a cracked earth." Make the king, just, let’s make him the king of Chu.”

King Chu, that means, we have to wait until Jiangnan is conquered and the world is conquered.This kid's check is too far away.

Guo Tu took the money and wanted to deliver the goods, so he took the opportunity and said: "General, the second son is going to send troops to Guandu. In terms of military rations, do you want to give more?"

Yuan Tan waved his sleeves with displeasure on his face: "Of course, come and ask me about these trivial matters. Why do I support you? You can discuss it with the second son. I have a lot of people in Jizhou and a little bit of military food. Is it a problem?"

Guo Tu felt troubled, he sat down and said: "This subordinate knows, this subordinate knows, please rest assured, General, I will definitely get it done."

When I saw Guo Tu's face changed color, cold sweat broke out, and the corners of his mouth and eyes cramped in fright.There was a burst of surprise in my heart, even this favorite minister has such virtues, how can others live.Yuan Tan's accumulated despicable prestige can be seen in general.

"My brother is guilty, please punish him, General." I saluted Yuan Tan cautiously like a loyal minister serving the emperor.

Yuan Tan's smile disappeared in circles like ripples; "Let's talk inside." If he was not happy to hear it, he probably thought of what I wanted to say.

"I heard that you had people kill Cen Bi and kidnap Yuan Shang, Cui Yan and other death row prisoners. Do you know that you have committed a capital crime?" Yuan Tan sat in the middle, squinting at me arrogantly.At this time, he still has a little brotherhood from the past, and he is completely a demon king enslaved by power.

I sat at the bottom of the head and said indiscriminately: "I can't blame me for this matter, he did it first. He insisted that I participated in the third brother's rebellion and wanted to behead me. My brother asked him if he had the general's will, that bastard He said that he has the right to kill first and act later, and there is no need to discuss it with the general. My brother thought to himself, this person might want to spread the decree falsely, frame my family members of the Yuan family, and wait for the loyal ministers around the general, who are loyal and swearing allegiance like me, to die. If they are all killed, he can take the opportunity to make trouble. Thinking of this, he was filled with righteous indignation, so he killed him by mistake. General, my brother is utterly loyal to you. Please, general, pay attention. As for Yuan Shang and others, I am worried about them after Cen Bi's death Run away, so let Zhang Yun Gao Lan take care of them first, and let someone bring them into the city tomorrow, please send them to the general."

'Peng' Yuan Tan slapped the table and stood up, his face was like a shield, and roared like a lion; "Guo Tu, go and kill Cen Bi's family, so that he dares to falsely pass on the general's will in the future, you bastard."

Guo Tu didn't believe what I said, but since he had received the money, he couldn't open his mouth, and Cen Bi was already dead, so there was no need to stand up for him, so he immediately stood up and said, "It's time to kill, it's time to kill, this subordinate will send the order. "

Guo Tu walked out in small steps backwards, and suddenly bumped into a person, and the person groaned; "Where is Mr. Guo going?" Guo Tu was furious, and looked back; "It turned out to be Uncle Liu, I'm going to kill someone."

Liu Bei glared at me, thinking, the only person in the world who deserves to be killed is this little bastard.

Liu Bei asked Guo Tu: "Kill—whom to kill?" Seeing Liu Bei's tense iron-like muscles on his face, Yuan Tan relaxed: "Uncle Huang, please take a seat, Uncle Huang."

It's really not easy to have big ears. The name of an emperor's uncle has confused the tyrant Yuan Tan.

Liu Bei saluted me politely, frowned, and said, "General, Bei won't sit down anymore. Bei is here to report treacherous ministers. Please be careful, General."

Yuan Tan wondered, Guo Tu is good at governing the country, and this general loves the people like his own son. Will there still be treacherous ministers in Jizhou?He laughed and said, "Uncle, if you think this person is a treacherous minister, you must be right. Just pull him out and behead him. You don't need to start playing." Trust me, the degree of trust is higher than that of Guo Tu.

A cruel smirk appeared on Liu Bei's face; "The general said this seriously." Yuan Tan had regarded himself as the emperor for a long time, and immediately said: "This general speaks a lot of words, no jokes, serious, serious."

Liu Beixin said it was great.He waved out and called a group of soldiers: "Come on, take Yuan Xi down for me, pull him out and behead him."

I am the traitor he said.

"Wait a minute, Uncle Huang." I stood up in fear, walked around the short couple, and knelt down in front of Yuan Tan: "What's wrong with me, the general wants to kill me."

Yuan Tan was dumbfounded, and asked a little dumbfounded: "The emperor's words are wrong. Yuan Xi is a loyal minister, not a traitor one. Why did you kill him?"

Liu Bei rolled his eyes. Is there such a loyal minister? It doesn't look like it.

"He killed General Cen Bi and took prisoners. If this kind of person is not killed, will the people of Jizhou still obey the general in the future? Everyone will go to prison." Liu Bei shouted hoarsely.

As soon as Yuan Tan heard about it, he went to rob the prison, and it really made a big deal, so that's not okay.He explained to Liu Bei for me; "Uncle Huang, please calm down. The second brother has explained this matter clearly to the general. The general has already understood the whole story. It was Cen Bi's fault. The general has sent Guo Tu to behead Cen Bi's family. Oh, Uncle Huang, I misunderstood my second brother, he was forced."
