"After entering Chengdu, you must not be rude, and you must not leave at will." Riding on the horse, Tai Shuyi's eyes were worried. He has always had a good feeling about Western Shu, especially King Xu Shu, who can be called the wise master of the world.
But his father died at the hands of the Shu people. In any case, it was a helpless pity. Changyang's Beiyu small military advisor told him to do whatever it took to gain a position and become the staff advisor of Xi Shu.
This thing is simply impossible. Even if there is a friendship, King Xu Shu is not a fool, and there is no way he will be reused immediately.
"Mr. Taishu, we are about to enter Yuguan." Taishu Yi looked around. In addition to the ten border residents who were following him, there was also a battalion of Shu soldiers following him.
"Remember my words and don't be rude."
"I would like to follow Mr. Taishu!"
"Mr. Taishu, after entering Chengdu, can I visit my friends?" At this time, an inappropriate voice suddenly rang.
Tai Shuyi looked sideways and found a man with a happy expression.
"Visiting friend? What's your name?"
"Mr. Taishu, my name is Lou Xing. My ancestors were from Huaizhou and later moved to Yanzhou. If I remember correctly, my old friends are in Chengdu."
Tai Shuyi was silent for a moment and nodded.
…
Two days later, the long team who entered Shu finally arrived in front of Chengdu City after passing through the long Shu Road. What Tai Shuyi did not expect was that this time, King Xu Shu actually led his people outside the city gate.
Waiting for him.
"Tai Shuyi pays homage to the King of Shu."
"No courtesy." Xu Mu smiled without any scruples. He took a few steps forward and grabbed Tai Shuyi's hand.
Next to Xu Mu, Yin Liuxia narrowed his eyes slightly, lowered his hand, and calmly lowered his sword at his waist. Fortunately, the border residents following behind did not make any move.
"Knowing that Mr. Taishu is coming, I have been extremely happy these past few days. Every time I think of the time when Mr. Taishu cut off his fingers for righteousness, I admire him deeply."
Tai Shuyi smiled bitterly, "To be honest with the King of Shu, I really wanted to hide from the world. However, war broke out on the border of Yanzhou again. I would also like to thank the King of Shu for settling the border residents outside Dingbei Pass."
"There is no need to be polite between you and me. Come, Mr. Taishu, sit down with me."
Tai Shuyi looked guilty, but he quickly covered it up and followed Xu Mu into the post house next to the city gate.
In the post house, a banquet has already been prepared.
Xu Mu took the lead in raising his glass.
"King Shu...do you have nothing to ask?"
"What are you asking? When you enter Chengdu, you and I will meet as old friends. We should have a happy meeting."
Uncle Tai looked and his body was trembling.
When he escaped from the world, he already knew that the general trend of the world had returned to Northern Chongqing and Western Shu. There was bound to be a fight between the two.
"Mr. Taishu, let's have a drink together."
"Drinking with the King of Shu..."
At the banquet, the two of them raised their glasses together and drank it all in one gulp.
"Chengdu, Western Shu, is also considered a great city in the world. If you don't give up, you can stay in Chengdu."
There was no mention of recruitment or becoming a military advisor, but Xu Mu had already seen some unspeakable bitterness in Tai Shuyi's eyes across from him.
In this world, Xu Mu has met many people. Such as Jia Zhou, such as Dongfang Jing, such as Sima Xiu... Most of these people are the ones who remain calm despite the landslide. Even Zhao Dun who stayed in the Western Regions
, when faced with the punishment of burning people, he has the ability to be fearless in the face of danger.
But this does not mean that Tai Shuyi is an incompetent person. On the contrary, a person who dares to destroy his own reputation and save 70,000 households is not an ordinary person.
A few days ago, Yin Hu said that Chang Wei did two things when he entered Shu. But Xu Mu guessed that there was actually a third thing. This third thing was that Si Hu slowly learned from Chang Wei
He slowly tricked out Tai Shuyi's information, and then made him love Cai eagerly, so he sent people to rescue Shu.
Link after link, although the forward plan is not brilliant, the back plan is still vaguely invisible.
Xu Mu sighed in his heart, and then he was filled with doubts. After all, Tai Shuyi was not a ruthless character who would kill decisively. If he was used as a trap, he would be exposed sooner or later.
Is Beiyu's little strategist really planning something random?
"Mr. Taishu, is there something wrong?" Xu Mu put down his wine cup and said with a smile.
Uncle Wang held the wine cup and drank two more glasses.
"Mr. Taishu, are you trying to take my life, Xu Mu?"
Tai Shuyi paused, his face becoming more and more sad.
"Or, Mr. Taishu has some unavoidable reasons." Xu Mu continued, "You know what kind of person I, Xu Mu, am. Back then, when your father-in-law, Mr. Taishu, wanted to have a bad reputation in the world, I dared to serve him in the coalition camp.
Guaranteed——"
"King of Shu!" Tai Shuyi closed his eyes and sighed.
Xu Mu lowered his voice and said nothing more. He almost slapped him. Something must have happened to Tai Shuyi. Otherwise, with his temperament, he would never enter Shu like this.
"King of Shu." Uncle Tai said calmly, "To be honest with the king of Shu, there is still a border city on the border of Yanzhou, which is surrounded by Beiyu troops in the name of rebels."
"So, this is a blackmail?"
Tai Shuyi shook his head, "The most important thing is that the nineteen students I have adopted in the Yanzhou area over the years are all poor people, and they are most likely to have entered Changyang City now."
"Understood." Xu Mu nodded without any panic, "This matter is not difficult. All you need to do is send a letter to the King of Beiyu. After he reads it clearly, he will definitely help you."
"These things, I guess, are all from that little military advisor from Beiyu——"
As he was talking, Xu Mu suddenly stopped talking. He suddenly felt that the simpler and smoother this thing was, it meant that the hidden things were more dangerous.
Chang Sheng is not a fool. He must have some intentions behind such a scheme.
…
"According to our military regulations in Western Shu, you and other people enter Shu as border residents. After the post meal, you are not allowed to move around at will. If anything happens, report the post soldiers immediately!" Sun Xun led his guards in front of the post house and kept saying
Speak loudly.
The ten border residents who followed Taishu Yi into Chengdu hurriedly responded to the call.
Lou Xing stood in the crowd, laughed, turned around and walked into the post house.
…
"I checked the military regulations of Western Shu. Outsiders are not allowed to leave the post house unless personally invited by King Xu Shu. But I have already tried my best to have the iron execution platform bury people in the post house. It only takes nightfall.
My killing weapon will be ready for action."
"Military advisor, the Chengdu palace is heavily guarded——"
"Who said I want to deal with King Xu Shu?" Chang Sheng turned his head, his face full of coldness, "Don't forget, in addition to the King of Shu, there is another person in Western Shu. As long as something goes wrong with this person, Xi Shu will
Shu is also in panic."
"Military advisor, it's... the lame Dongfang Jing."
"The lame man Dongfang Jing still has a brother and sister-in-law in Chengdu. These brothers and sister-in-law are the best targets at the moment. When you are tired of winning, you use things to kill people."
Yan Pi's eyes froze. Until now, he finally understood that the person his little military advisor had been dealing with was not the King of Shu, but the lame military advisor of Western Shu.
"The lame man, like King Xu Shu, must have many secret guards around him. But unlike King Xu Shu, his brother and sister-in-law are actually very ordinary people who are easy to attack."
"If the lame man dies... I will urge my lord to tear up the three-year agreement and attack Shu from all directions. I will not give the Shu people any time to breathe and attack them all in one fell swoop!"
"The lame Dongfang Jing is an eternal enemy. I have to do this."
…
"The Great Eastern Military Advisor, the best Eastern Military Advisor in the world." On the river bank of Wuzhou, many children of the sea people ran along the path, shouting through the layers of guards.
Dongfang Jing smiled and asked people to take preserved fruits and distribute them to the children who came.
"Over in Chengdu, another round of letters from home has come. This will relieve the soldiers from the hardships of guarding the frontier."
"Has a letter arrived from my brother-in-law?"
"Military advisor, I haven't seen you this month."
Dongfang Jing was lifeless, sitting on a wooden wheelchair, looking at Xiangjiang in front of him, and slowly fell into a state of confusion.
