    Chapter 239 Suspicion

    Cheng Ji took a step forward and insisted: "In the past, the martial arts were divided between Gu Quanwu and Xu Zaisi. Quanwu was a close confidant of the king, and he and Xu Zaisi were in check. But since the defeat of Lin'an last year, you have used Xu Zaisi as the commander.  Wan replaces Quan Wu, and Xu and Xu both come from Sun Ru¡¯s old army. Even if the king doesn¡¯t want to transfer Wu Yong out of the Ya army, he must at least use an old brother to command him in order to have a containment effect.¡±

    Qian Miao was a little drunk today, and what Cheng Ji said touched the most sensitive part of his heart. Seeing Cheng Ji insist again and again, Qian Miao felt a surge of anger in his chest. He finally managed to  He forced himself to suppress it, stood up and walked to the back hall. As he walked, he said: "I drank a few more drinks today. Let's wait for a few days to discuss this matter."

    Qian Miao just turned around, but felt his sleeves tightening, but was pulled by Chengji, and he refused to let go. He also said something, presumably to insist on what he just said. With a sudden tug, he used all his strength to  It was already very big, but he grasped it very tightly, and suddenly the sleeve was torn. Qian Miao suddenly became furious and said: "Someone can't get involved in the internal affairs of Badu Bing, even me."  The generals of the Neiya Army do not decide who they appoint, so who makes the decision in these two Zhejiang provinces?"

    Chengji replied loudly: "Of course the king makes the decision in these two provinces, but Zhou Bao and Dong Chang are not far away from each other. If the king does not listen to the good advice and insists on going his own way, I am afraid that the fate of the king will be the same as those two."

    When Qian Miao heard this, he was furious and put his backhand on the hilt of the sword on his waist. Cheng Ji was not afraid, he stepped forward and stroked his chest and said: "Cheng's heart can tell the world. It would be a pity for the king to kill me."  The great cause is accomplished."

    Qian Miao glared at Chengji angrily. He drew the sword several times and pushed it back halfway. At the end, he snorted angrily and turned around suddenly to enter the back hall.

    Since Gu Quanwu was captured in the Battle of Lin'an last year, although most of the Huainan army retreated to Guangling, Lu Fang, the Huzhou defense envoy appointed by Huainan, took the opportunity to capture most of the Huzhou occupied by Xu Zaisi. Now, the Huzhou defense above Lu Fang's head  The title of envoy is worthy of the name. Xu Zaisi was originally a general of Qian Mu's Neiya Army and was transferred back to Hangzhou. Dusong Pass was defended by the Zhen Hai Wai Zhen soldiers. Since he had higher qualifications than Xu Wan, Gu Quanwu was also transferred to Hangzhou.  After being transferred away, he is now the supreme commander of Wuyongdu.

    It is now the end of July in the commander's tent at Wuyongdu Camp. Due to the weather, Xu Wan, the right commander of Wuyongdu, only wears a single coat and a pair of calf-nose trousers. The soldiers on the side keep wearing  Although she was holding a cattail leaf fan, large beads of sweat still flowed down her face. Xu Wan was short and stout, and a knife wound on her cheek extended from the corner of her left eye to the corner of her mouth, almost blinding her left eye.  Xu Wan thought that the soldier was too slow in fanning, so he grabbed the cattail leaf fan and slapped it hard while scolding: "You are so useless, you can't even fan." After a few curses, he wiped it again.  Wiping the sweat on his face, he looked at the sky outside and said, "Look at the weather. It will be sunny again tomorrow, but it's going to be so hot that it's going to kill people. It's going to be very difficult."

    The soldier was very brave in battles on weekdays and had always been favored by Xu Wan. He stiffened his neck and replied: "A certain person can wield a sword, dance a spear, and draw a three-stone bow. The general can find a woman to do the fanning."  It¡¯s only when you go into battle that you realize my benefits.¡±

    Xu Wan was not upset at being snatched away by his own soldiers. Instead, he smiled and said: "What a good boy, you look like a man from Cai. Don't show any cowardice next time you go into battle."

    The soldier smiled and said: "General, we used to dominate the world, but now we live under someone else's roof. We are called here and there all day long, dig holes and dig soil, and are treated like slaves. It's really boring."

    Xu Wan frowned, remembering what Luo Yin, the secretary in charge of the mansion, said when he and Qian Miao inspected the newly built Luocheng two days ago. He was one of the few who understood the deep meaning of Luo Yin's words and what he was referring to.  It was the capital of Wuyong. Although Qian Mu didn't take it seriously at the time, Luo Yin was a person involved in secrets in the palace of the King of Yue. Qian Mu was surrounded by first-class and trustworthy people. After a long time, it was hard to say that the King of Yue would not become suspicious. Thinking of this  , Xu Wan said calmly: "That's all, you go down first."

    The soldier responded, leaving Xu Wan alone in the tent. He wandered back and forth for a while, then suddenly turned around and walked behind the screen. After a while, when he walked out of the tent, he had changed into a plain robe.  , whispered: "You two change your clothes and follow me into the city."

    Outside Prince Yue's Mansion, there is a prosperous street. It is almost time for curfew, and the pedestrians on the roadside are walking quickly.  Archers holding long sticks, sabers, and curved bows were beating the clappers in their hands to remind the people to return to their homes. After the curfew, if you walk on the streets outside the homes, you will be whipped.  At this time, three men in Tsing Yi quickly walked across the street, turned the corner next to Xingyi Square in front, and squeezed in through the gate that was about to close. The old man guarding the gate just complained.  , the person behind turned around, a short sword was revealed under his robe, the old man quickly recognized itAfter he stopped talking, the man took out a handful of copper coins from his waist and stuffed them into the old man's hand, and said in a low voice: "These are for you to buy a drink. If you want to talk more," the man pulled out his sword and used it with his backhand.  The blade was pressed against the old man's throat.  The old gatekeeper didn't dare to say anything, for fear of accidentally cutting his throat, so he nodded carefully. The man retracted his dagger, turned around and followed the two people in front of him, leaving the old gatekeeper watching with lingering fear.  The backs of the three people.

    The three people seemed to be very familiar with the roads in the village. They turned around and arrived at the door of a small house. The leader knocked on the door twice. After a while, the door opened. The man who opened the door saw the leader.  The man looked shocked, and he knelt down quickly and said: "Lord." Before the words could be spoken, the leading man covered the man's mouth and walked into the door. The two people behind him looked back carefully to confirm that there was nothing wrong with him.  The person followed and then carefully entered the door.

    Candles have been lit inside the door, and the leading man has already sat down. Under the flickering candlelight, a scar on the face of the visitor is uncertain, making it look particularly ferocious. It is Xu Wan, the right commander of Wuyong City.  The owner of the house bowed down and said, "Master, I don't know what happened when I came here."

    Xu Wan casually accepted his bow and asked in a low voice: "That day after the King of Yue's banquet, what happened after returning to the mansion?"

    It turns out that the person in this room was a servant in the Yue Prince's palace, and was bribed by Xu Wan so that he could know what was going on around Qian Miao.  Xu Wan also knew that this matter was extremely taboo. He only occasionally sent close associates to his home to visit him, but this was the first time he came in person like this.

    The servant recalled carefully for a moment and whispered: "That night was when I was on duty. My residence was only two rooms away from the hall. I saw Cheng Ji Cheng, the governor, visiting late at night, and then heard him and the King of Yue in the hall.  The dispute was quite fierce. As for what was being argued about, I was afraid of being discovered and did not dare to go near to listen. I only vaguely heard: "Gu Quanwu, Badu, Zhou Bao, Dong Chang and other sentences. Later I saw Qian  Wang rushed out, looking very angry.  "

    When Xu Wan heard this, her heart skipped a beat. Chengji's late-night visit must have something urgent. Otherwise, Qian Miao and Chengji had a very good relationship, and they wouldn't have ended up on bad terms.  Intuitively, he felt that it must be related to the incident in Wuyongdu, but based on those few fragmentary sentences, he really couldn't deduce the truth.  After thinking for a moment, Xu Wan said to the servant: "This matter is of great importance. Think carefully about whether there is anything important missing. If you think of it, these things are all yours." At this point,  , Xu Wan took out a bag from her arms and threw it on the table, making a dull sound. The rope at the mouth of the bag was loosened, and some of the contents fell out from the mouth, glowing brightly in the dim candlelight.  The yellow light turned out to be a small bag of gold cakes.

    The servant was so happy when he saw such a huge reward that he almost fainted on the spot. He was about to reach out and touch it to see if it was real, but his hand was grabbed by someone. When he looked up, he saw that it was Xu Wan who brought him the reward.  The attendant whispered: "Don't be impatient. If you tell me, you won't be able to escape at all. Otherwise, you won't be able to touch me at all."

    The servant was greedy for money, otherwise he would not have taken such a big risk to get Xu Wan's bribe. Now seeing so much gold in front of him but unable to get it, he felt like a cat scratching his heart.  He quickly recalled the scene of that night carefully. After a while, the servant suddenly jumped up and shouted: "I remember, I remembered." When the governor left the hall, he seemed to have said: "Ji Sunzhi."  worry.  "

    After the servant finished speaking, he reached for the bag of gold. The soldiers on the side saw Xu Wan nodded and stopped trying to stop him. The servant wrapped the gold in his arms, quickly took out a piece and stuffed it into his mouth to bite.  After a while, I was sure that it was pure gold. I hid it under the bed and in the cupboard. I was very busy.

    "Is it Ji's grandson? Or Ji's grandson? Or? Is it since childhood or only?" Xu Wan's face was full of confusion. Based on these two words, he really couldn't judge what Chengji said that day.  One of the attendants who was traveling this time came from a good family. He had studied for several years before joining the army. He frowned and thought for a while, then whispered: "General, I'm afraid that the governor is talking about 'The Worry of Ji and Sun' in "The Analects of Confucius".  .¡±

    A flash of lightning immediately flashed in Xu Wan's mind. Although he didn't read much, he had always read the Analects of Confucius. The full sentence "Ji Sun's Worry" in the "Analects of Confucius" is: "I am afraid of Ji Sun's worry."  The worry is not in Zhuan Yu, but within Xiao Qiang." Na Chengji clearly meant that Qian Miao's trouble was not the Huainan Army outside but the city of Hangzhou, so it became clear what he and Qian Miao were arguing about that night.  .

    Xu Wan stood up with a heavy face. The two followers beside him were also confidants who knew the inside story. Their eyes were full of worry as they looked at each other.  When the servant saw Xu Wan standing up, he quickly stood up to see her off. Xu Wan waved her hand, and Wen Yan asked, "Is there anyone else in your family?"

    The servant was somewhat flattered when he saw Xu Wan suddenly asking about his family background so gently, and said with a smile: "The villain's family has long been separated during the war a few years ago, and as aThe servant has not yet married, so he is still alone to this day.  "

    Xu Wan nodded and said with a smile: "It's good to be alone, just to be alone." The servant was a little confused, but suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his ribs, and his mouth to shout was blocked, and then his throat felt  It was cut off. After a while, when he died, the attendant let go and let him fall to the ground.  The servant's eyes were wide open, staring at the bag of gold.

    One of the attendants was about to pick up the bag of gold when Xu Wan said: "That's all, I rewarded him with this bag of gold. I'll tie it to him later and throw it into the well behind. He can also be considered as one."  My death was not in vain.¡±

    The attendant nodded and stuffed the gold into the servant's arms. The two men found two stones for the foot of the bed and tied them to the body. One raised his head and the other raised his feet. They opened the door and looked around to see if there was anyone.  Moved out.  Xu Wan was left standing alone in the house, looking up at the roof and thinking to herself: "I didn't expect that this guy Cheng Ji would also attack us Wu Yongdu. Although Qian Miao didn't have that intention that day, but there are close friends around him  I already have suspicions, and people's minds are very changeable. Only I, Xu Wan, can control my destiny. How can the safety of five thousand soldiers in the military and brave army be pinned on the mind of one person." Thinking of this  , Xu Wan suddenly pulled out his waist knife and slashed it on several cases beside him.
