What caught my eye seemed to be a corner of a piece of cloth.
It's not on the desk, or placed in some other secret place, but under the couch.
If it hadn't been for the slightest glimpse of it, and if it hadn't been for the bright moonlight that came through the tent door tonight, Jiang Gan wouldn't have noticed anything.
The moment he saw the small corner of the cloth, Jiang Gan instinctively felt that there was something wrong with it.
However, this piece of cloth was pressed under the couch, and you had to be extra careful if you wanted to take it out. If Zhou Yu was awakened, who knew what would happen.
Jiang Gan pinched the exposed corner with his fingers and gently twitched it.
The process went smoothly and no accidents occurred. After the cloth-like thing was completely pulled out, Jiang Gan discovered that it was a document.
Jiang Qian unfolded the document carefully and was shocked by the contents.
"I surrendered to Cao Cao not because of official promotion, but because of force. Now I have captured the Northern Army and trapped it in the stronghold, but I have found it convenient. I will take the leader of the thieves and offer it to my subordinates. Sooner or later, when people arrive, there will be retribution.
, Fortunately, if there is any doubt, I will respond first."
The word "Cai Mao" was written on the pen.
After Jiang Gan read the entire content, his face turned gray and he was sweating profusely.
Cai Mao actually connected with Jiangdong and intended to take the life of the King of Wei?
What a huge thing! What a terrifying thing!
Is this letter true or false? Did Cai Mao intend to rebel, or did Zhou Yu deliberately set up a trap for himself to jump in?
Jiang Gan did not immediately believe the content in the book, but at the moment his mind was a little confused and it was difficult to sort out the context.
If the contents of this book were true, how could Zhou Yu place such an important thing haphazardly or even throw it under the bed?
Is all this a conspiracy? Zhou Yu wanted to use his own hands to get rid of Cai Mao, the only one in Cao's army who was good at water warfare, so as to remove him as a thorn in Jiangdong's side?
It's possible, very possible, that the more Jiang Gan thought about it, the more he felt that this was Zhou Yu's counterintuitive plan.
Quietly stuffing the documents back into their original places, Jiang Gan went to bed and fell asleep.
But after reading the document, even if he guessed that it was Zhou Yu's counter-intentional plan, Jiang Qian couldn't feel at ease and couldn't fall asleep at all.
About another time after burning the incense, a sergeant suddenly asked softly outside the tent: "Is the Commander awake?"
After asking this question three times, Zhou Yu slowly opened his eyes and made a silencing gesture towards the sergeant.
Zhou Yu looked in the direction of Jiang Qian and gently called Zi Yi.
Of course Jiang Gan would not have any reaction.
After confirming that Jiang Qian was "asleep", Zhou Yu quietly left the tent.
After Zhou Yu left, Jiang Gan immediately stood up, walked to the tent door, and listened to the conversation between Zhou Yu and the sergeant outside the tent.
Zhou Yu and the sergeant were more than ten feet away from the tent, and their voices were soft. It would be difficult for Jiang Gan to hear clearly unless he listened carefully.
"Why are you calling me? You must know that Jiang Ziyi is here. There are many things that are inconvenient to talk about. We can wait until tomorrow to talk about non-urgent matters." Zhou Yu spoke first.
"Cai Mao's messenger is still waiting for the governor's reply. He said that Cai Mao wants to know as soon as possible how Jiangdong will respond to his surrender. What do you think, governor?" Although Zhou Yu didn't seem to want to talk here, the sergeant hesitated for a moment.
Then he opened his mouth.
"I can't reply tonight. You can just let the messenger wait one more night. There is no shortage of time. In fact, in my opinion, Cai Mao cannot be trusted at all, and the King of Wu does not need such a treacherous person by his side.
, but if he can really get the head of Thief Cao as a meeting gift, it would be a great thing."
"There is one more thing that I must report to the Governor. The Governor asked me to check whether what General Huang Gai said is true. After verification by several subordinates, Jiang Ziyi was indeed walking around several military camps in the afternoon, and his behavior was quite suspicious."
"Oh?" Zhou Yu frowned when he heard this.
"If he knows the truth about our Jiangdong, then this person will not be able to stay." Zhou Yu's tone suddenly became extremely cold, and murderous intent appeared in his eyes, "After he leaves tomorrow, immediately send a troop to capture him.
Kill him and bring his head to see me."
"Grand Governor, if you want to kill this man, I can just go in and stab him to death with a sword. It's so easy, so why bother?" the sergeant asked in confusion.
"I just promised Huang Gongfu that Jiang Qian will not do anything subtle. If I kill him in Jiangdong, wouldn't I be slapping myself in the face? Every time I see Huang Gongfu in the future, won't I be beaten by him?
Want to ridicule him? After Jiang Qian leaves, you can lead your troops to intercept and kill him and put the blame on the pirates. Who will know that I ordered the killing?"
At this time, Jiang Gan felt cold all over after hearing this.
Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu, I never imagined that you could be so vicious, not caring about our friendship as a classmate, and really want to take my life!
Jiang Gan's hands and feet were a little limp.
Hearing Zhou Yu's footsteps returning to the tent, Jiang Gan hurriedly got into the couch and pretended to be asleep.
If Zhou Yu found out that he was eavesdropping on their conversation, he would probably have no intention of blaming others, and might just kill himself.
But after waiting for a long time, the sound of Zhou Yu entering the tent could not be heard.
