Sima Fang sat there with an annoyed look on his face. He looked up and saw the smile hanging on the corner of his son's mouth. He couldn't help but was stunned. He said with a bit of anger: "Zhongda, it concerns the future of our Sima family. You
Why are you still in the mood to laugh here!"
Being scolded by Sima Fang, the Sima Lang brothers couldn't help but look at Sima Yi. Under the gaze of his father and brother, Sima Yi's smile subsided a little, and he said with a straight look: "Father, the child is just laughing at his father's presence.
In the game, I just can’t see through it.”
Sima Fang knew that his second son had always been smart. When he heard what Sima Yi said, his heart moved. He looked at Sima Yi and said, "Zhongda, please tell me. Do you think our Sima family can make any changes in this matter?"
?”
Sima Yi turned to Sima Fang with a look of determination on his face: "If father believes in the child, just put your heart into his belly. I can guarantee that the King of Chu will grant the quota 90% of the time that father requested."
of."
Sima Lang looked at Sima Yi and said, "Second brother, don't talk nonsense. You must know that this is related to the future of our Sima family."
Sima Yi nodded and said: "Brother, do you think I will make a joke about this matter?"
Just when the core of the Sima clan was worried about Sima Fang's request, Xun You immediately left Luoyang and rushed back to the Xun clan's ancestral land.
The Xun family is inherited from the Xunzi lineage and has thrived in Yingchuan. It can be said to be the largest clan in Yingchuan. Moreover, the Xun family has always had many talented people due to its family history. This generation is represented by Xun You and Xun Yu.
The first generation is not simple, and has the reputation of Xun's Eight Dragons.
Nowadays, the older generation of the Xun family almost no longer interferes with official affairs, and lives in seclusion in the countryside to teach the younger generations. Nowadays, the Xun family is represented by Xun Yu and Xun You outside. However, among the Xun family, the one who calls the shots is
Xun Shuang and Xun Ciming are known as the Eight Dragons of the Xun Family and the Unparalleled Ciming.
Xun Shuang's name can be said to be known all over the world. When Emperor Ling lifted the scourge of party imprisonment, the five governors, namely general, Taifu, Taiwei, Sikong and Situ, all summoned Xun Shuang, but Xun Shuang refused.
With Xun You's strength, it only took a few hours to get from Luoyang to Yingchuan.
Xun Shuang, who was enjoying his old age in the mansion, had almost let go of all family affairs, and only major events related to the rise and fall of the Xun family would disturb Xun Shuang.
In a quiet room, the fair-haired Xun Shuang was sitting there, looking through the classics collected by his family, when he suddenly heard the sound of rapid footsteps.
The servants serving Xun Shuang knew very well that Xun Shuang should not be disturbed when he was reading, but with such a loud movement, it was obvious that the person coming was in a hurry.
Putting down the bamboo slip in his hand gently, he heard a creak, the door of the quiet room was opened, and a figure appeared in Xun Shuang's sight.
As the second eldest son among the Eight Dragons of the Xun family, Xun Yu was also the father of Xun Yu. Like Xun Shuang, he was rarely a director in the family. But now he came with Xun You. He was obviously brought to the town by the news that Xun You brought.
Lived.
Xun Shuang raised his head and looked at Xun Nui, Xun You and the other two glanced at each other and motioned for them to take their seats. Then he said calmly: "For Gongda to be like this, could it be that something big happened in the imperial court?"
Naturally, Xun Shuang knew Xun You's ability very well. In terms of talent and learning, he was no worse than them. But just looking at Xun You's appearance, it was obvious that something big had happened. Otherwise, Xun You would definitely
You won't be so nervous.
Xun You saluted Xun Shuang and said, "What my uncle said is true. Something big really happened."
A gleam flashed in Xun Shuang's eyes, he raised his head and glanced at Xun You and said: "Oh, what makes you call it a big thing is that the one you voted for replaced the emperor?"
The Xun family has a long heritage and is not surprised by the change of dynasty. In Xun Shuang's view, no matter how big the matter is, the world has changed its master.
But Xun You shook his head and said: "This matter is bigger than the change of emperor!"
There is something bigger than the change of emperor in this world. Xun Shuang immediately raised his head and looked at Xun You, with a bit of surprise in his eyes. It was obvious that he didn't quite understand that there was something bigger than the change of dynasty in this world.
of.
Xun Nui had a slightly strange expression of excitement on his face. He seemed to be impatient and said to Xun Shuang: "Sixth brother, Wen Ruo and the others were summoned into the mansion by King Chu not long ago. Why did King Chu summon them?"
?”
Just when Xun You was about to speak, he saw Xun Ni playing riddles with Xun Shuang again. He smiled bitterly in his heart and consciously closed his mouth.
Xun Shuang glanced at Xun You first, but he couldn't tell that Xun You was trying to sell things off to him. However, Xun Shuang was very cooperative and said to Xun You: "Oh, I really can't guess. Could it be that the second brother already knows about it?"
?”
Xun Nui looked like an old child and rolled his eyes, but then he looked at Xun Shuang with a straight face and said: "The King of Chu wants to save people for immortality!"
Xun Shuang subconsciously said: "Eternal life, if you live forever, live forever..."
However, Xun Shuang seemed to react the next moment. He opened his eyes wide, leaned forward, put his hands on the table, stared at Xun Nui and Xun You, and said tremblingly: "What are you talking about?"
, immortality?”
Xun You took a deep breath and nodded slowly at this moment: "It's exactly what my uncle thought, and the King of Chu took out a drop of blood essence containing majestic vitality on the spot. Huangfu Song got this drop of blood essence and took it.
After being laid off, he immediately regained his vitality and returned to his youthful state from being old and decrepit."
Xun Shuang seemed to be accepting this exciting news and fell down, but from Xun Shuang's rapid breathing and rising and falling chest, we could see how uneasy Xun Shuang was inside.
Soon Xun Shuang stared at Xun You and said: "We know Wen Ruo's temperament very well. Between the King of Chu and the court, Wen Ruo is very likely to choose the court, but you, Gongda, are different. Tell me.
Look, is Chu Yi worth our Xun clan’s gamble on him?”
Xun You looked at Xun Shuang, and he knew very well that Xun Shuang had great trust in him, and even let him make the choice for the Xun family's future.
A bright light flashed in his eyes, and Xun You said slowly: "This is a rare opportunity for our Xun family. If we miss it, I am afraid that our Xun family will regret it for the rest of our lives. So no matter what, this time our Xun family will regret it for the rest of their lives."
Everyone will stand with the King of Chu."
Xun You looked at Xun Shuang and said, "When my grandson comes back this time, I hope that my uncles can come out of the mountain in person and go to the capital to pay homage to the King of Chu in order to show our Xun family's sincerity. As long as our Xun family shows the greatest sincerity, I believe that Chu
Wang will definitely open the door to our Xun family in terms of immortality."
When Xun Shuang heard this, the head of the family nodded and said, "This matter is of great importance. I will take someone with you to the capital in person."
You must know that after Xun Shuang resigned from office and retired, he never came to the capital again even when he was called up by the five governors. However, now he went to the capital in person because of Xun You's words. This shows that Xun Shuang attached great importance to this matter.
Just as Chu Yi expected, the news spread at an extremely fast speed, but it was limited to a very small number of people. Without sufficient information, they would not be qualified to know this kind of news.
Many local wealthy families were surprised to find that those families with profound local heritage had come to Beijing one after another in extremely strange ways, and many outstanding figures from the past who had been recognized by the world as being dead appeared again.
The Prince of Chu's Mansion in the capital suddenly became the center of the storm in the capital. Countless people's eyes were fixed on the troubles in the Prince of Chu's Mansion.
Just as each aristocratic family sent their best disciples to the Prince of Chu's Mansion to pay homage to Chu Yi, the Tongtian Grand Altar was being built at an extremely fast speed under the auspices of Xun Yu, Zhang Zhao and others.
The Tongtian Grand Altar required by Chu Yi is of extremely high standards. Even if this world can easily mobilize a large number of powerful people to participate in it, it cannot be built in a short time.
However, in just a few days, the large altar to the sky has already taken some shape. Judging from this trend, it will only take a few days at most to successfully build it according to Chu Yi's requirements.
Those who know the secrets naturally hope that the Babel Altar can be completed as soon as possible, and those who don't know the reason also have the same expectation.
In Jia Xu's mansion, Jia Xu, dressed in black, stroked his beard and looked at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
A few days ago, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei went to Jia Xu's house in person to meet Jia Xu. Jia Xu was such a person. Just by seeing Guan Yu and Zhang Fei there in person, they guessed their purpose.
Just as Chu Yi said, since Guan Yu and Zhang Fei surrendered, Jia Xu followed Chu Yi's order and sent people to secretly investigate Zhang Miao's whereabouts.
It has to be said that Zhang Miao seemed to have evaporated from the world, no one was seen alive, and no body was found dead. This is also the result of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei dragging on so many people to search for Zhang Miao, but there is no news at all.
After all, Jia Xu almost controls the entire Han Dynasty's spies, plus Chu Yi's power and influence. If you really want to find someone, unless there is a powerful force to hide him, it will be impossible.
There is no news.
At this moment, Jia Xu looked at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei said: "The two generals should be sure that Zhang Miao is dead."
Zhang Miao is dead. This is the news that Jia Xu spent a lot of energy to confirm.
In fact, Jia Xu has always doubted whether Zhang Miao is still alive. Not long ago, a piece of news confirmed Jia Xu's death.
One day and night, a fire broke out in Zhang Miao's ancestral house. Under the raging fire, not one of the dozen or so people in Zhang Miao's family escaped the fire.
From the fire alone, it can be seen that someone is trying to kill people and silence them. Even Zhang Miao's entire family was killed. So one can imagine the fate of Zhang Miao as the person involved.
Already.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei got the news from Jia Xu and went to Zhang Miao's ancestral home in person. They were no strangers to Zhang Miao's ancestral home. In order to find Zhang Miao's whereabouts, the two of them went a long way.
I stayed at Zhang Miao's ancestral home for more than a month, but got nothing.
It was impossible for the two of them to kill innocent people indiscriminately to vent their anger on Zhang Miao's family. In addition, they had to go on an expedition with the army, so they did not stay at Zhang Miao's ancestral home all the time.
But he never thought that a fire would destroy everything in Zhang Miao's family.
The two of them went away for a while, and now they came back with a look of annoyance on their faces. If they had known earlier, they would have insisted on staying in Zhang Miaozu's land until they asked Chu Yi to wait until the mastermind behind the scenes.
Show up.
Fortunately, now, Zhang Miao's sect has been destroyed, and they have suddenly cut off this clue. As a result, the hope of finding the instigator behind this becomes even slimmer.
The clues were suddenly cut off. It would be strange if Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were in a better mood.
Seeing the expressions of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in his eyes, Jia Xu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "You two generals, don't be discouraged. Jia has some good news to tell you."
At this moment, neither of them had much interest in the so-called good news. Guan Yu glanced at Jia Xu, tried his best to squeeze out a smile and said to Jia Xu: "Mr. Wenhe, please don't joke with our brothers."
Jia Xu smiled slightly and said: "Jia found a clue. Xuande went to Zhang Miao's army. Someone saw Jushou in the tent. If Jia's prediction is correct, others don't know. Jushou should be better than him."
Everyone knows the inside story of Xuande Gong’s death..."
"What?"
In a twist of events, they thought there was no hope of finding out the real culprit who killed Liu Bei, but now Jia Xu actually revealed that Ju Shou might know who killed Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, their eyes widened immediately, and they stood up suddenly.
The two of them breathed a little quickly, looked at Jia Xu and said, "Mr. Wenhe, where is Jushu?"
Jia Xu said slowly: "As a comrade of Yuan Shao, Ju Shou was in prison, but the prince took pity on his talent and knowledge, so he, together with Shen Pei, Chen Gong, Li Ru and others, spared him and did not kill these people together.
"
On weekdays, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were busy commanding the troops. After commanding the troops, they focused on looking for Zhang Miao. Naturally, they didn't know this. So when Jia Xu mentioned Jushou's location, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei immediately said to Jia Xu:
"Thank you, Mr. Wenhe. We two brothers will go to see Jushou now."
The prison where Jushou, Shenpei, Chen Gong, Li Ru and others were imprisoned was not so much a prison as a closed courtyard, surrounded by heavy military guards.
There were not many people imprisoned here with Jushou and others at first, but quite a few of them had chosen to join the imperial court. Now in this courtyard, only Jushou, Shenpei, Chen Gong, and Li Ru are left.
.
Both Shen Gong and Chen Gong are stubborn people. As for Li Ru, because of Dong Zhuo's death, it is obviously difficult for him to surrender to Chu Yi easily.
But Jushou refused to surrender, which was due to Shen Pei. Chen Gong and others were quite surprised. After all, based on their understanding of Jushou, Jushou was not the kind of person who was willing to die for Yuan Shao.
Jushou couldn't express his sorrow. Why didn't he want to surrender to Chu Yi? After all, everyone else had surrendered. Moreover, every time his old friends came to persuade them to surrender, Jushou regretted it endlessly. How could he have lost his mind and got involved in the plot in the first place?
