Chapter 987: A plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain
As long as everyone present was still sober, everyone drank all the wine in their glasses.
For today, Lu Xun specially prepared a very mellow and strong wine - of course, not for everyone to enjoy, but to put Zhou Yu into chaos as much as possible.
Only in this way…
——
After drinking this glass, Zhou Yu finally felt top-heavy.
While looking for him for support, he whispered to Lu Xun beside him:
"The food and drinks are ready, can everyone sit down?"
"That's natural."
Lu Xun answered in a low voice and helped Zhou Yu to take the host and guest seats today.
He, Lu Xun, was sitting in the throne room, and Zhou Yu was by his side. This arrangement seemed very ordinary, but in fact it hid a mystery.
Before Zhou Yu even noticed, Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong approached both sides and sat down without any scruples.
Without paying attention, Zhou Yu was surrounded by these dangerous people who were probably the most thoughtful and thoughtful in Jiangdong.
If he didn't get drunk on alcohol on weekdays, Zhou Yu should have realized something was wrong.
But unfortunately——
Because of an oversight at the earliest moment: Lu Ji's good reputation and his harmless appearance made Zhou Yu relax his vigilance.
As a result, the moment he stepped on the car door, Zhou Yu fell into a trap and was passive at all times.
——
During the banquet, Lu Xun clapped his hands gently, and the musicians and dancers came into battle one after another. The colorful clothes, dances and music, and the amazing arms of Fuchun Pavilion, attracted all the singers and dancers from the Western Regions, even Zhou Yu who had lived a wealthy life.
, and his heart and soul were further taken away by this dazzling scene.
The melodious music came in bursts, and accompanied by the mesmerizing dance steps, the already ambiguous atmosphere became even more intoxicating.
While drinking and drinking, Zhou Yu didn't realize that his current mental defenses had been reduced to a minimum.
Why did he come today?
A vague idea appeared in Zhou Yu's mind, causing his hand to raise the glass to pause in mid-air.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the venue reached its climax - the dancing girls in the air showed people the amazing skills they rely on to survive, causing bursts of cheers to burst out from the venue.
And Zhou Yu, who was silent among the cheers, seemed to be turning the chaos in his eyes into clarity.
Presumably if Zhou Yu was given another moment, he might really realize that something was wrong with the atmosphere. He might even wake up from the chaos, get furious, and break up with everyone in the room.
But... Lu Xun, Gu Yong, and Zhang Zhao exist just for this moment.
"As expected of the musicians and dancers from Qiuci Kingdom, Governor, do you know what they are doing after traveling thousands of miles to Jiangdong besides doing some banquet business?"
Lu Xun spoke from the side and took the wine cup from Zhou Yu's hand.
Zhou Yu's thoughts were interrupted instantly at this moment.
"Huh? Ah? No...not sure? Boyan, do you know?"
He was a little stiff, turned his head in confusion, and looked vaguely at the smiling Lu Xun.
Lu Xun's eyes were not actually fixed on Zhou Yu. Instead, he looked past Zhou Yu and glanced at Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong behind him.
When the two of them saw Lu Xun's hint, they understood it and knew that the most important part of the plan would be carried out next.
——
At the same time, the abnormal noise in Fuchun Pavilion also aroused suspicion of Zhu Ran, who had been searching for nothing for the past few days.
Yes - Zhu Ran became increasingly depressed after his investigation into the Zhang family failed.
He could only follow Zhou Yu's command, and spread his eyes throughout the city as if to vent his anger, trying to use the advantage of numbers to detect any possible clues.
"I don't believe it... It's absolutely impossible for someone who can post so many notices all over the city to disappear into thin air under such strict defense!"
Zhu Ran roaring like this is of course just incompetent rage.
However, the news that followed from the informant made Zhu Ran smell the smell of conspiracy again.
"What are you shouting for? Are you afraid that I can't hear you? Straighten your tongue and say it carefully!"
Zhu Ran, who was annoyed in his heart, swung the pawn rushing towards the door with a stroke.
The little pawn was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground and started to rub his tongue with his hands.
Zhu Ran didn't have the eyes to look. He slapped himself on the forehead as if he was helpless to the extreme, and immediately explained:
"I told you to fart quickly and speak quickly if you have something to say. Who told you to actually pick your tongue! What happened to Fuchun Pavilion? Tell me!"
The pawn who finally understood Zhu Ran's meaning quickly stood up and said:
"Yes... Fuchun Pavilion has been booked, and a banquet is being held all night long!"
Zhu Ran wanted to curse at this moment, but he seemed to be aware of Zhu Ran's temper that was about to explode, and the pawn immediately continued:
"No...not just that! Lord Prefect! It's...Lu Xun from the Lu family, Lord Gu Yong and Mr. Zhang Ge are all here - and the guest of honor at this banquet is the Governor!"
"Earlier, when I passed by the Zhou Mansion, I heard that the Governor was picked up early by a group of carriages - you... you also know that the tense situation in the city is now... Could it be that the Governor's behavior is not
What’s the profound meaning?”
The little pawn didn't dare to guess too much, and his words stopped abruptly. When he raised his head to look at Zhu Ran, he found that Zhu Ran's expression was full of surprise and curiosity——
"Quickly assemble your team, I'm afraid something will happen tonight!"
Zhu Ran's loud roar made the entire prefect's mansion tremble several times.
But... this is not Zhu Ran's overreaction - after these days of pursuit like a headless fly, Zhu Ran vaguely found a touch of gold in the chaotic thread - his intuition told him that there must be some conspiracy brewing in the city.
.
And at this unreasonable time, Zhou Yu behaved in such an unreasonable manner again. In an instant, his tense energy from the past few days was brought to this moment.
It has to be said that Zhu Ran's intuition was indeed quite accurate. The first prediction caught Yi Xiaotian a little off guard, and the second prediction that hit the bull's-eye was basically very different from the truth.
But...now that he has learned his first lesson, it is impossible for Yi Xiaotian to stop guarding against Zhu Ran.
In order to complete the plan, he invested the most of his chess pieces in this link——
It is impossible for the same trick to be effective on Yi Xiaotian twice.
——
Return to Fuchun Pavilion.
Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong, who received Lu Xun's signal, took advantage of Zhou Yu's blind spot and made two different gestures to their own men.
Gu Yong was naturally responsible for the order in the venue.
After his order, a group of well-trained maidservants came on stage one after another and began to provide everyone with the most personal "service" - food, sex, sex, and the sages were sincere and did not deceive others. In the case of a two-pronged approach, plus Lu Xun at the side
Following, Zhou Yu... fell.
Zhang Zhao was responsible for the security outside the pavilion.
In order to prevent anyone from disturbing this perfect plan of catching a turtle in an urn, sending someone to guard "Weng" was naturally the lesson Yi Xiaotian learned.
These were all things he mentioned repeatedly to Zhang Zhao and others.
No... Zhu Ran, who had just rushed to the scene with almost super intuitive intuition, was distracted by a group of black shadows that suddenly appeared on the house outside Fuchun Pavilion.
"That is!"
Zhu Ran screamed - he couldn't believe his eyes. What normal person would wear black clothes and walk among the rooftops in the middle of the night?
Then do you need to think more carefully about the identity of the other party?
"Damn! You're lucky! Let me chase you!"
He gave an order, and the county soldiers who had gathered in front of Fuchun Pavilion suddenly dispersed and chased the "real murderer".
Little did he know that this was just a tactic to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
