Chapter sixty two

An Xiulin held a banquet to entertain Xu You again. During the meal, everyone was happy. A guest called Cheqiu drank more than ten cups of wine. Suddenly, he cried at his desk, and the room suddenly became quiet.

Someone asked why Che Langjun was sad, Che Qiu wiped his tears and said, "I climbed the tower last night and looked north. I saw the scenery still as before, but I knew in my heart that the mountains and rivers were already strange!"

Jinling was in the northeast, and there was something in Cheqiu's words. Everyone could hear it. They all put down their wine glasses silently and looked at each other without saying a word. Cheqiu stood up, drunken eyes, and pointed his fingers one by one, saying, "The mountains and rivers have changed, and you are still indulging in the joy of enjoyment. Che is humble, but he is ashamed to be in the same seat."

After saying that, he walked to the middle of the seat, bowed and knelt to An Xiulin, and then raised his head and cursed, "Your Highness was granted a title of county and country, and his kindness was really rewarded. Now my father died in a white and white sword, and his brother usurped the poor and killed him, and he wept blood from all over the world, and he was angry with the underworld. But your Highness sang day and night, and he could not distinguish between the best and the wrong, which led to the destruction of the laws of heaven and the country's misfortunes and resentment. How can you see the former emperor in the future and how can you see the sects?"

Di Xia got angry, pulled out the long sword from her waist, and shouted at Cheqiu, "Your Highness treats you very well, why do you say crazy words and say, Who ordered me?"

An Xiulin showed a painful expression on his face, bent his body, caressed his heart with his hands, and gasped for difficulty, saying, "Di...Di Xia, let him say, let him say!"

Che Qiu was not afraid at all and said sternly: "Although Qiu is not talented, I really don't want to see Your Highness betrayed by the thieves, and even left a bad reputation for thousands of years, and laughed at by the world."

He pointed the other disciples of the royal palace as thieves. Di Xia couldn't bear it anymore and rushed over, with the tip of his sword pressing against his heart, and said, "Kneel down and admit your mistake, and I will spare you!"

Che Qiu smiled contemptuously and said, "Dog thief! If you die, you will die. What are you afraid of?"

An Xiulin exclaimed: "Cheqiu, don't..."

Before he finished speaking, Cheqiu suddenly took a step forward, allowing the sword to pass through his chest, and blood spurted out, dyeing his clothes red and the color of everyone's eyes red.

Di Xia was shocked on the spot, and his hand holding the sword trembled slightly, as if he was a thousand pounds and could not pull it out no matter how hard he pulled it out.

An Xiulin was in a state of grief and anger and said, "I am carrying a carriage!" He spit out a mouthful of blood and fell on the table, not knowing life and death.

"Your Highness, Your Highness!"

"Hurry, please invite the doctor, go and invite the doctor!"

"Di Xia, if your Highness has something to do, I will not forgive you!"

"Your Highness..."

The room was completely in chaos. Xu You looked at Che Qiu's body silently, and felt respectful. Che Qiu was asked by An Xiulin, who planned to use his insults to make An Xiulin vomit blood and become seriously ill. Then Xu You used methods to cut off his veins, which was enough to deceive the messenger sent by An Xiuming. However, Che Qiu took the initiative to die, making the play more perfect without leaving any flaws.

After all, except An Xiulin and Xu You, only Che Qiu knew the details of this plan. Once he died, he could ensure the absolute safety of the plan. Moreover, the impact and infectiousness brought by the death warning made An Xiulin's illness more reasonable and

In ancient times, there was a must-have, and celebrities have been around forever. Now, there is a car cloud, which is not inferior to that!

With such an unparalleled death warrior, I am afraid that everyone in the world will underestimate An Xiulin!

Five days later, the prince's envoy Liu Shou arrived in Linchuan. After entering the mansion, he saw that most people were sad and inquired in private. He learned that An Xiulin was insulted by his servants at the banquet and was seriously ill. He vomited three liters of blood and had not woken up for many days. After being diagnosed by the doctor, he said that he could not survive this winter and had to prepare for his funeral.

Liu Shouxi was in love and said to Qiao Heng, a fake son of Jiangzhou, Sili Prefecture, who came with him, "The king of Linchuan is not a good year, and he saves a lot of trouble for the main purpose. We should have luck. This job is much easier than that of King Panyang."

Qiao Heng was cautious and said, "Please ask General Gao to confirm it so that King Linchuan would not pretend to be sick and bully the master..."

"Yes!" Liu Shou said hurriedly: "It's still a false thoughtful thought. If the King of Linchuan does not want to go to Beijing and deliberately pretends to be sick, we will be punished for death in the future." He turned to another person and said: "General Gao, when you meet the King of Linchuan, you can take action to diagnose him!"

Gao He was one of the young masters raised by Sili Mansion. They had no position in Sili Mansion, but were only given the title of General Yingyang. They usually received a salary and had a high status. They fought desperately to die when they encountered problems, similar to the position of worship.

Xu Shunhua came forward to receive the envoys, with Xie Xiwen, Tao Jiang, Wei Buqu and others accompanying him. Liu Shou passed on the decree and proposed to visit An Xiulin. This was the meaning of the title. Xu Shunhua did not refuse, nor did he have any reason to refuse. An Xiulin on the sickbed had a haggard face. At first glance, he looked like an old man in his fifties and sixties. Even if Liu Shou did not understand medical skills, he could see that he had not had much time, but he was just prolonging his life.

Gao He was too lazy to pretend, so he sat directly next to the bed to take An Xiulin's pulse. After a moment, he nodded to Liu Shou. Liu Shou felt relieved, and said a few words to Xu Shunhua, and went to the other courtyard to rest.

That night, Zong Yu visited Liu Shou and gave him two boxes of gold, silver and wealth. Liu Shou smiled and comforted Zong Yu more, and asked him to tell Xu Shunhua that there was no need to worry about the capital. He would be kind and take good care of the King of Linchuan and take good care of himself. If he recovered in the future, he would have a good time to see His Majesty and his brothers.

Afterwards, Liu Shou stayed in Linchuan County for two days and received several uninvited guests in the other courtyard where he rested. These people were all the guests valued by An Xiulin. When he saw that his master was about to die and the building was about to collapse, he had already begun to find another way out without any hesitation.

People's hearts are complicated. If there are loyal and righteous soldiers like Cheqiu, there will naturally be shameless people who forget their righteousness when they see profit. In Xu You's expectations, this situation was set up, and it was one to deceive Liu Shou and two to try people's hearts.

With so many guests, only three or five people flying by themselves in a disaster, which is the best reward for An Xiulin's respect for his wise and polite people over the years!

Early that morning, Liu Shou set off for a farewell and left Linchuan, and returned to Jinling to report his life. Sitting in the ox cart, looking back at the county town, his eyes full of complacent smiles.

For him, An Xiulin died in Linchuan, which was better than in Jinling. It was ridiculous that the people in the royal palace were afraid that he would force him too much and gave so much money. From this, it can be seen that people say that the three hundred guests in An Xiulin were actually like Mengchang, who was actually a bag of wine and rice, which was very useful. Even if they were not contaminated with serious illness, they must have to go back to Beijing obediently with him, which was far from worrying about it.

The spies sent out confirmed that Liu Shou and his party boarded the ship from the river to leave the country. An Xiulin summoned Xie Xiwen, Wei Buqu and four other confidants to meet. Xie Xiwen learned about the cause and was overjoyed and was very respectful to Xu You's methods. Wei Buqu asked the betrayers what to do. An Xiulin couldn't bear to punish him and said, "I shouldn't have pretended to be sick and hide it from everyone. However, good birds chose trees to live on, no wonder others, they gave them 100,000 yuan each, and gifts were given out of the city..."

Di Xia opposed it and said, "How should we reward loyal troops with such courtesy to unfaithful people? These people must be executed, otherwise there will be endless troubles."

Tao Jiang has never spoken much, and he heard more and said less when discussing things, but this time he said: "It must not be like this! I know that your highness is kind, but if you want to fight against the court, you must first be rewarded and punished strictly. If you have no punishment, why should you be wise? These people are betrayed by the Lord and ask for honor, and their intentions should be punished. According to my opinion, there is no need to be killed immediately. Keep them calm for the time being. When the rebel army starts, behead their heads and sacrifice flags, which will make you feel strong!"

The two of them had a firm opinion. An Xiulin hesitated for a while and sighed, "Okay, I will ignore this matter in advance, and then discuss it later!" He turned around and asked Xu You, "When will Weizhi set off?"

"I'm going to leave tonight!" Xu You replied: "I'll go to Jiujiang to visit Governor Zhu first. He will arrange the next matter. Your Highness, Governor Zhu can definitely trust him. His words are mine. Please be sure to adopt them. Do not listen to others' slander, which will delay the opportunity to fight."

An Xiulin resolutely said: "Don't worry, I'm determined and will not shake any more. When you leave, I will dispatch everyone to contact all places, hoard food and grass, recruit soldiers, and fight against the thief!"

"Your Highness has this determination, and will definitely go all the best!" Xu You praised and reminded again, saying: "These things must be carried out in secret. You can not reveal your true intentions too early by the name of reclaiming wastelands and building water conservancy. Also, if the time is ripe, governor Zhu will send elite soldiers and generals to guard Your Highness to Wu County..."

Xie Xiwen was still the first time he heard about this plan and said with doubts: "Go to Wuxian? Why not go to Jiujiang and wait for Jiangxia Wang Shunjiang to come and join forces with him?"

Xu You's calm eyes showed the light of wisdom and said, "Mr. Xie Langjun, King Jiangxia holds 100,000 soldiers in his hand. How many soldiers can he recruit in Linchuan?"

"There are always three to five thousand people!"

"Okay, three or five thousand people, even if all the troops of the Jiangzhou Governor's Office are handed over to Your Highness, there are only 10,000 or 20,000 people. With such a small amount of troops and King Jiangxia, do you think Your Highness will completely become a vassal of King Jiangxia?"

Xie Xiwen finally understood what Xu You meant, and his eyes flashed with shock and said, "Yes!"

Xu You said lightly: "But if Your Highness arrives in Wu County, with Gu Lu, Zhu and Zhang as its wings, and joins Yangzhou and Jiangzhou, the two states can open the Ba Mansion, establish the Eastern Army, and go upstream to launch an offensive against Jinling. At that time, the King of Jiangxia came west and His Highness went east, and the two armies stood together to equalize the beauty. Even if you promote King of Jiangxia as your king in the future, Your Highness can still seek the greatest benefit through military merits. You guys will rise and become a marquis and ministers, which is not difficult!"

These words were extremely inflammatory. Before Xie Xiwen could answer, Di Xia couldn't help but tug her hands excitedly and said, "Listen to your husband, it's better than 100,000 soldiers. Just do this. Who dares to object? I'll be the first to take his head!"

This Di Xia was so stupid that she followed a benevolent lord like An Xiulin. If she had a hero like Cao Cao, she would probably not survive for a single episode and would have to be in a different place.

However, with him inspiring the atmosphere, An Xiulin also felt excited. No matter how bad the power is, if he could lead troops to destroy the thieves, who could refuse such temptation?

"Everything comes from your words!"

After the discussion, Xu You's itinerary was decided to go to Jiujiang first, then to Jiangling, and then go directly to Wuxian along the Yangtze River. In order to facilitate future contact and to gain the trust of King Jiangxia, An Xiulin decided to send his confidant to accompany Xu You and choose, but he chose Zuo Qiu Sijin and Zong Yu. They didn't know each other without fighting and Xu You, and they were acquaintances and friends they could chat with. Zuo Qiu Sijin was a reliable girl, loyal and capable, and was the best candidate.

It was raining heavily on the way, and Xu Shunhua sent it for thirty miles until Xushui Wharf. He waved farewell reluctantly. The brother and brother met in a hurry, and the sky was separated. Xu You leaned against the second-level railing of the big ship, and said: Don’t lean on the railing alone, the infinite country, it is easy to see it when you part!
