Chapter 234: A sudden turning point
"Yes, I'll do it right away."
After Qu Feng said that, he left in a hurry and went to the people who stayed in Shouchun to take care of them.
Not long after Qu Feng left, Zhao Tong suddenly looked at Xun Yu and sighed: "Xun Lingjun, I didn't expect you to wake up so soon."
"I didn't expect you to observe so carefully."
Xun Yu responded with some surprise, and then stood up calmly.
Although he is a civil servant, it does not mean that he does not know martial arts.
It can even be said that his martial arts skills are no worse than those of ordinary soldiers.
So even after receiving a heavy blow from Zhao Tongyi, he quickly woke up due to his strong body function.
But he and Zhao Tong were so close that Zhao Tong easily sensed his every slight movement.
However, Xun Yu only moved slightly and pretended to faint again.
Zhao Tong could have continued acting like this with Xun Yu, but when he thought of Xun Yu's determination to die, and his helplessness that he couldn't persuade him just now.
He still decided to expose Xun Yu.
Zhao Tong smiled bitterly and said: "In this place, doing such a thing, I can't help but make my senses become more sensitive."
Within Cao Jun's sphere of influence, every job they engage in is very dangerous.
If you want to save your life, you must remain vigilant at all times and remain absolutely sensitive to danger.
Xun Yu frowned and said, "Do you really think you can kidnap me to Jingzhou like this?"
He didn't care about Zhao Tong's other matters. The only thing he cared about was what kind of situation he would face next.
Although he has given up the desire to live, he does not want to "cannot die".
After all, he is the minister of the Han Dynasty, and he is a person who values dignity very much.
Zhao Tong still had a wry smile on his face and said: "Originally I thought so, but now it seems that this is really not a good choice, so I did not choose to act with you."
He no longer wanted to go around the bush with Xun Yu, so he just said it directly if he had anything to say.
Xun Yu said helplessly: "Am I really that important to you?"
Of course he knew his importance. Once the world knew that Xun Yu, who had been with Cao Cao for more than twenty years, had followed Liu Bei, it would definitely cause shock in the world, and Cao Cao would become very passive.
Although this is on a spiritual level and is invisible! But it is more effective than a tangible army of 100,000 people.
The power of public opinion is also very powerful in today's era of underdeveloped information.
This may cause countless people to betray Cao Cao and turn to Liu Bei.
It is also possible for the newly grown talents to surrender to Liu Bei.
And Cao Cao will face a huge shock to the rear.
After all, there were countless officials in the court who were recommended by Xun Yu, and only Xun Yu followed his lead.
Of course he is very aware of these functions he has.
But Zhao Tong gave an answer he didn't expect: "Xun Lingjun is not only important to us, but even more important to the Han Dynasty! Of course, if Xun Lingjun is really unwilling to join us, I don't have to take Xun Lingjun back to Jingzhou."
"real?"
Xun Yu looked at Zhao Tong in disbelief. He really didn't understand that Zhao Tong would choose to give up at this time after spending so much effort.
He would never naively think that it was because of his charisma that Zhao Tong changed his mind. He thought there must be something weird in it.
Zhao Tongdao said: "It is precisely because Xun Lingjun has a heart for the Han Dynasty, and we are all Han ministers, and we don't want to see the loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty fall, so we thought of taking Xun Lingjun back to Jingzhou to build a great cause together."
Having said this, he looked at Xun Yu and saw that Xun Yu's expression did not even change, his eyes were full of disbelief.
Then he added: "But it seems that Xun Lingjun doesn't want to join us now, and I don't intend to force it. However, we would like to ask Xun Lingjun to save his life for the time being to see if we are really worthy of Xun Lingjun's help.
"
"Um?"
After hearing the end, Xun Yu couldn't help but frown, and then let out a heavy nasal sound from his nose.
Zhao Tong smiled bitterly and said: "Xun Lingjun, there is no need to doubt, what I said is what I think in my heart. This time we just want to save Xun Lingjun's life. As for what Xun Lingjun wants to do in the future, it is up to you."
This is such a fantasy that it is hard to believe.
Xun Yu frowned and said: "You just want to take me back? Even if I just go back to the mountains and forests, it doesn't matter?"
He never believed that after he arrived in Jingzhou, Liu Bei would let him retreat into the mountains and forests, instead of vigorously publicizing "Xun Yu has come to seek refuge", which could attack Cao Cao.
Zhao Tong smiled bitterly and said: "How can Xun Lingjun be willing to believe it?"
Xun Yu murmured: "It's not difficult for me to believe it. As long as you can give me a letter written by Liu Xuande, which says, 'If you force Xun Yu, everyone in the world will despise him.' That's it."
.”
With such a guarantee, he can avoid becoming Liu Bei's tool. Even if he reaches Jingzhou, he can still die for the Han Dynasty.
"this……"
When Zhao Tong heard this, he suddenly became very hesitant.
He knew how much Liu Bei cared about his reputation. Once he wrote such a letter, he would unswervingly implement it.
And in this way, their purpose of taking Xun Yu south this time would have failed.
Xun Yu smiled and said: "So what the general said just now is all deceiving himself and others?"
Zhao Tong said seriously: "What if I can really get this letter?"
Xun Yu said seriously: "If you can really get such a letter, then I will go to Jingzhou with you."
"Okay! It's a deal!"
Zhao Yi looked confident, as if he had received a personal letter from Liu Bei.
After saying that, he said to Xun Yu with some worry: "But before I get this letter, I would like to ask Xun Lingjun to cooperate with me in doing three things."
"What's the matter?" Xun Yu asked immediately.
Zhao Tong said seriously: "First, don't seek death again. Second, follow me out of the house for a while. Third, set this courtyard on fire."
The three things he proposed were all for Xun Yu's consideration, and Xun Yu understood them immediately.
Xun Yu sighed: "Since I have made a promise, I will not give up easily before now. As for this courtyard, Cao Cao has already achieved this step, I might as well go out now."
As soon as Cao Cao's food box was delivered, some people began to pay attention to everything about Xun Yu. Although they were not blatantly following Xun Yu, they were still waiting for news of Xun Yu's "death".
Once this courtyard is burned down, no one will think that Xun Yu is still alive in this world.
Xun Yu naturally saw this very clearly.
