Chapter 110 Treasure Map
After receiving the news, He Ru and Lu Bozhi rushed over one after another. Xu You had already left most of the entire Xicheng. He was approachable, had no airs, and was not careful about the details. He truly united with the general public and showed a very positive and positive image. It can be said that the influence caused by this inspection alone was enough to significantly reduce the gap between the people of Chu and Liang, and it was also comparable to the results of hundreds of officials in the General's Mansion working hard for several years.
It is difficult to win the hearts of the people, and it is easy to win the hearts of the people. The people are not fools. Whoever cares about the people will lift them up high, letting the wind blow down, and the rain cannot be suppressed!
This is the most powerful force!
"Qilang, it's no trivial matter to be assassinated, and you should not take it lightly. I suggest that the Liu family be arrested secretly and handed over to the Winter Solstice for interrogation, and to the outside world, it will be claimed that he has returned to his hometown, which will avoid triggering discussions between the government and the government."
He Ru felt that Xu You's personal approach to bribing the hearts of Xiliang was wonderful, but that was just a superficial article for the people to read. Now that the plays that should be performed are over, as long as the gods arrested Lao Liu's family without knowing it, and threatened him to confess to the behind-the-scenes commander.
"Since I promised to let him go, I will break my promise and become rich. I will break my trust in the small matters of people and my own affairs. Besides, there is never a god without knowing it. As long as I do, I will definitely suffer the blame. Don't forget that the people's hearts should not be deceived, nor should the people!"
This is the biggest difference between Xu You and He Ru. He Ru can achieve his goals without bottom lines or principles, act unscrupulously, only look at the results and not ask about the process. But Xu You is even more persistent, doing something and not doing anything. It is this persistence that allows the two to form a wonderful complementary relationship, one can be the master of the human race and the other can be the master of the master, and not to go to the extreme of opposition.
Lu Bo's words: "Since that man dared to instruct Lao Liu to assassinate him, he would not be afraid that he would be punished and confessed. He probably knew nothing about the identity of the so-called benefactor. If he tried it, he would be useless, but instead he would cause trouble."
He Ru shrugged and said, "The so-called traces left by the geese. As long as the head of Lao Liu reveals the details of their relationship, there will always be a way to find clues... However, what Qilang said is not unreasonable. Maybe this person is waiting for us to arrest Lao Liu, and then deliberately spread the news to slander Qilang's reputation... Forget it, he is lucky. If you meet a general like Qilang who loves people like his son, just spare him!"
This was teasing, and Xu You didn't care about it with him, saying, "Actually, there is no need for Mr. Liu's confession. I know who is doing it behind the scenes!" He turned to ask Qingming, and said, "Is there any news on the Winter Solstice?"
"As of last night, Zhu Yuanying hasn't given up yet!"
"What a stubborn bone!"
Xu You praised, although he was an opponent, it was really surprising that Zhu Yuanying could survive until now, especially an ordinary person who knew how to do martial arts. Few people could compare to this tolerance, and said, "Send someone to inform the Winter Solstice and take him into the city tonight. I should have a good talk with Mr. Zhu!"
When he returned to the General's Mansion, Tan Zhuo asked about the assassination. Xu You joked: "I ate a bowl of good noodles with the taste and met a cold man who was not afraid of death. This trip is worth it. By the way, what did Juqu Wugu say? Did you agree?"
"There is no reason to refuse the conditions given to him by the general!" Tan Zhuo said a rare joke and said, "And Zhangye Gong was very obedient. After leaving the mansion, he went home directly. He didn't even dare to join in the fun in the West City."
Everyone laughed, and Lu Bozhi stroked his beard and said, "After all, Lu Shuihu is suspected of assassinating the general, so he should not go there. At this moment, there is no way to make any mistakes..."
In fact, it doesn’t make sense to frame it, or go or not, but it’s always good to be low-key and unpretentious. Xu You intends to let Juqu Wugu take over Liangzhou, which will definitely cause Zhu Zhi’s rebound. In the game, the side with fewer handles can win.
That night, the winter solstice secretly escorted Zhu Yuanying from Dingcheng to Chang'an. He had left him in Dingcheng before, trying to set up an ambush there and attract people from six days to rescue him. After all, Chang'an was strictly guarded and might be powerless for six days. Who knew that after waiting in Dingcheng for so long, but still didn't move for six days, there was a chaos in Chang'an.
"Mr. Zhu's complexion is pretty good, better than I expected!"
In the back hall, Zhu Yuanying changed her clothes and tied her hair behind her head. She was not tied up and knelt on the futon. She could not see any signs of punishment from her face alone, but as long as she observed carefully, she knew that this person's mind was about to collapse and could burst at any time.
"I'm asking the general for good luck. I can eat and sleep. Naturally, my complexion is not much different." Zhu Yuanying's throat was completely destroyed because he was tortured. It was like a rusty axe slowly scratching the cracked iron plate. It made Ren scratch his heart and liver very uncomfortable.
"It's good. I'm afraid that my hands will be severe in the Winter Solstice will hurt Mr. Zhu." Xu You's smile remained unchanged, as if he couldn't hear any problems with Zhu Yuanying's throat. The sequelae of waterboarding could not be avoided.
When Zhu Yuanying heard the name of the Winter Solstice, his eyes were unintentionally gathering. It can be imagined how much psychological shadow the Winter Solstice had caused him in just a few days.
"I encountered assassination in the west city of Chang'an during the day..." Xu You suddenly went straight to the subject, stared at Zhu Yuanying, and observed any subtle changes he had.
Sure enough, Zhu Yuanying's body tensed up at that moment, but the amplitude was extremely small. If Xu Youming had not shining on everything, it would have been basically difficult to detect. He said lightly: "Fortunately the general is safe!"
Xu You felt confident and said, "The person who assassinated me is an old cook. He knows that he can't kill me, but he still takes the lives of the whole family and young without hesitation. Mr. Zhu, can you tell me who was instructing him?"
Zhu Yuanying said indifferently: "As a prisoner, how can you know the world's affairs?"
"Mr. Zhu is modest! Let's do this, let me tell you the inference. If it is wrong, please correct me!"
"Please, General!"
"Western City, where ordinary people live, during the day and in full view of everyone, I brought more officers and guards, and randomly chose shops along the street to enter. No matter how you look at it, this is not a good opportunity for assassination, but I was touched by the assassin and successfully stabbed that knife."
"This is actually not an assassination, but a warning! Warn me that I can do everything for six days. This time I send an old chef and next time I can send a little master. I am in the bright spot and I can't defend myself!"
"Why should I warn me? Of course it's for Mr. Zhu! You are in my hands and want to save you for six days, but I also know that attacking Dingcheng can only fall into the trap set by the secret palace in advance. So using this method to demonstrate. In addition to demonstrating, there is also the intention of negotiating, which is really amazing!"
Zhu Yuanying was silent.
"However, six days, one secret is secret. It is precisely because of this assassination that I am shocked to realize that Mr. Zhu is so important. It is so important that he will not hesitate to assassinate the General of Chu in six days and save you... Even if you are not the four gods of the Heavenly Palace of Sin, your status should not be low..."
Xu You paused and said with a slight joking voice: "Mr. Zhu doesn't refute it, which means my inference is OK. So, what should I do next? Should I talk to you with six days of peace and hand over Mr. Zhu for peace, or walk in the dark, continue to keep Mr. Zhu, and wait for six days to come to the trap?"
Silence, still silent.
"Mr. Zhu, I will give you half an hour to think clearly. I am plagued by military affairs and don't have much time to spend with you. After half an hour, if you don't speak, you're sorry. Tomorrow morning, I will order someone to escort you to Xishi, tie you naked to the flagpole and expose you... Xu's other things are just brave enough. If you want to kill me for six days, just kill me. I want to see, such an important person, you are humiliated naked in front of everyone's eyes, and they can't bear to take action?"
Xu You stood up and turned around without hesitation. He spoke like a knife, and he was truly powerful. He said one thing, and the pressure on Zhu Yuanying was even greater than the torture of the Winter Solstice. When he walked to the door, he heard Zhu Yuanying's voice behind him: "I am one of the two worshipers of the Fengmen..."
"Fengmen?Praying?"
Xu You stopped, a smile spilled from the corner of his lips, and said, "Mr. Zhu has figured it out so that he will not be able to make trouble. The night is so beautiful, so don't worry, let's talk slowly."
Can Zhu Yuanying not understand? He knows his own family affairs. Even if Xu You doesn't come tonight, he will not be able to withstand a few days. Sooner or later, he will have to confess. Instead of being tied to the West City and being humiliated and becoming a bait for hunting and killing his companions, it is better to cooperate with Xu You and change his chances.
Six days have a great grudge against him, but the Fengmen has not!
What's more, there is still a trump card in his hand that has not been shown, so he should be able to save his life at critical moments!
"Which palace is the commander of the God of the Fengmen?"
"The Fengmen is nominally paralleled with the five great heavenly palaces and is under the command of the Jueyin Heavenly Palace. In fact, it has been independent of six days since twenty years ago. However, if the command of the Great God does not have too much conflict of interest with the Fengmen, you can obey it at your discretion..."
The Fengmen has always been very mysterious. Xu You had dealt with them in Qiantang. He thought it was a subordinate intelligence agency for six days, but after Zhu Yuanying explained, he realized that he had taken it for granted.
The six days are never a solid piece. Several gods have ulterior motives and do their own things, similar to a loose alliance composed of common beliefs, and are not as centralized as Sun Guan, like the Tianshidao.
“What grade does the offering belong to?”
"There is one Fengzhu in Fengmen, two people worshipping under him, and there are…"
In other words, Zhu Yuanying is the second-in-command of the Fengmen who has been abandoned by Fengzhu. No wonder someone plans to rescue him. If he changes to another small role, he will ignore your life or death?
"Who is the Wind Lord?"
Zhu Yuanying said: "The Feng Lord's surname is Ge, his name is Songqiao, and his nickname is Xiaoxianweng, and he is a child of the Ge clan of Danyang!"
"Ge Songqiao? Wasn't he dead?" Xu You heard this name. The Ge clan of Danyang is also one of the most important branches of Taoism in Jiangdong Gaomen. There have been many famous scholars for a hundred years. Ge Songqiao is acquainted with alchemy techniques and is called Xiaoxianweng. Later, it is said that he died of elixir poison.
"Ge believes in the Tao of Heaven, while Lord Ge Feng enters the Tao of Wuwei Banner and Flower, and can only leave home if he is killed and misfortune the clan."
"I see!"
After asking seven or eight questions, he almost touched the foundation of the Fengmen. Xu You asked, "What are you doing for lurking next to Zhu Zhi?"
Zhu Yuanying hesitated for a moment and said, "For a treasure map!"
