A Dou can afford it

When Ma Teng rushed to the cell, the witch doctor had already ordered his subordinates to carry Xi Zhicai's body out, and Ma Teng only took a glimpse of the clean and tidy body.Xizhi committed suicide by biting his tongue. It is a pity that a scribe who relied on his mouth finally chose such a way to leave the world, but it also made his body very well preserved, allowing him to die in a 'dignified' way.After all, Xi Zhicai is also very clear that once he loses his use value, these barbarians will not leave him a whole body.

"Are you all dozing off? Why didn't anyone find out?!" The counselor in charge of the negotiation had already arrived, and he didn't even feel Ma Teng's arrival, and was angrily cursing at several managers.

Xi Zhi is the most valuable hostage they have captured. He plays an inexplicable role at critical moments. Without this hostage, their bargaining chips with Cao Cao will be greatly reduced. The worst thing is that Xi Zhicai is dead. Zhicai ran away, or was half dead, because the dead cannot be brought back to life. This most irreversible way is likely to arouse Cao Cao's hatred and fury, which is not good for them.

"Come on!" Drag these two idiot guards down and click a thousand times! ! !

"slow!"

Ma Teng and the counselor turned their heads at the same time, but they saw Pang Tong walking quickly under the leadership of the messenger.Although he was a little dissatisfied with Pang Tong's outrageous behavior, Ma Teng still admired Pang Tong's resourcefulness, so he acquiesced in his behavior.

"Everyone, be safe and don't be impatient." Pang Tong slightly curtseyed to Ma Teng, the lightness and calmness on his face seemed to have an extraordinary appeal, which calmed down the counselor who was still alive just now. . "Xi Zhicai is dead. It is useless to find out who is negligent. Now, instead of passively settling accounts and letting Cao Cao know that we are at a loss, we should calmly pretend that nothing happened, and even use this as a means of demonstrating to Cao Cao. Anyway, it was Cao Cao who lost a loyal and top-notch counselor, not us. I heard that Cao Cao and his conspirators, the Xun brothers, and the ghostly talent Guo Jia have a good relationship with Xi Zhicai. If we can use this to make them angry On the contrary, it can give us an excellent opportunity to attack..."

Pang Tong's statement is undoubtedly very convincing at present. From the nods of his counselors, it can be seen that Ma Teng made a decisive decision, issued a series of orders, and prepared to let the spies release the news to occupy the strong side.Xi Zhicai is dead, but how he died is up to them to decide, whether to commit suicide awe-inspiringly loyally or to be tortured and begged for mercy is nothing more than a notice from Ma Teng's subordinates, and it is only a second-hand negotiation afterwards I am afraid that the plan of threatening and threatening cannot be used. In this case, just follow Liu Bei's wish and wipe out Cao Cao in one go... Thinking of this, Ma Teng's face is also better. Yes, although Ma Teng agreed to cooperate with Liu Bei The alliance, but they never thought of making themselves Liu Bei's sword. Their original plan was to follow the looting habits of ethnic minorities, smash, loot and burn Cao Cao's territory, negotiate with Cao Cao, and withdraw after gaining enough benefits. , the alliance with Liu Bei is just because they are afraid that the Central Plains army will unite to attack them, but now, their attack is unprecedentedly smooth, and the bargaining chip with Cao Cao has also gone wrong. In this case, it is better to simply form an alliance with Liu Bei. At that time, seizing Sizhou was tantamount to opening the door to march into the Central Plains, so why not worry about a major failure.

But this Pang Tong is really powerful. The brain structure of the Central Plains people is really different from them. It is not easy to find a good adviser with them. Liu Bei's envoy is good. He can find a way to detain him...

"Mr. Pang, is there anything else you want to explain?"

"General, if possible, please allow me to see Xi Zhicai's body."

"Go ahead." It was just a deadly request.

"That's it, I will leave."

Pang Tong slowly followed the soldiers to the lower cell. Now that he decided to use Xi Zhicai's body, what he originally wanted to throw out became to vacate a cell to throw the body. From a distance, Pang Tong had already seen Xi Zhicai's corpse. His pale face, and the unkind treatment made his body look a little messy, Pang Tong stepped forward quickly, straightened his messy hair, and the light smile on his mouth fell down at some point.

"Mr. Xi..." Pang Tong said three words slowly, but he used an honorific title. When he heard the news that Xi Zhicai committed suicide, Pang Tong was already prepared. Before Xi Zhicai had a high fever, although he gave up He rescued Xi Zhicai, but he also found an opportunity to visit him several times. Xi Zhicai is a very transparent person. Since he was arrested, he has already predicted his own ending. If he thinks about it, it is impossible for him to be willing. I became Ma Teng's bargaining chip to blackmail Cao Cao, and my death was inevitable. Xi Zhicai told him before that he was more willing to fulfill the young emperor than these barbarians. This also shows that Xi Zhicai has already seen through the purpose of Pang Tong's coming here , Xi Zhicai died, and the biggest beneficiary was Liu Bei who hoped that Ma Teng and Cao Cao would fight, so now Pang Tong came to mourn Xi Zhicai. Although he couldn't leave Xi Zhicai's body, at least he could I personally sent him a ride to express Pang Tong's gratitude.

It was only the day before yesterday that Xi Zhi said that they would meet again soon, indeed, but this side may be the last time.

When he returned to the embassy, ​​Pang Tong wrote on the cloth, "The drama is just sudden, and the plan is going well." 'Eight words, let go of the bats that fly at night.

Wu County.

"Please." Arriving in Wu County, this time Adou and his party were not ignored again, and Zhou Yu could be seen leading his subordinates waiting at the pier from a distance.

Seeing Zhou Yu again, he no longer had that kind of gentle smile on his face. The past few days had made him a little haggard, but he still showed all his courtesy, and when he saw A Dou, he even slightly bowed his head and clasped his fists.

If it was the first time that they were insufficiently prepared or did not expect it, then after experiencing the turmoil of the war between the two sides, A Dou's identity is no longer a secret.As for the fact that the other party's lord was willing to go on an envoy in person, even if Zhou Yu still had resentment in his heart, he was still moved. At least, they accepted this righteousness and sincerity. That's why Zhou Yu cooperated with the other party not to reveal his identity. Salute to Adou.

Leading a group of people into the inner hall, because A Dou and Lu Bu are both Kong Ming's bodyguards on the surface this time, so they sat under Kong Ming's seat. Zhou Yu seemed a little surprised when he saw A Dou's unprocrastinating movements. But then he thought of something, his eyes flashed, he sat down, and waved for someone to serve tea.

The maid moved quickly, walked up to A Dou with her head down, and put down the tea. Tea is still a good thing now, and it is not easy to make incense. A Dou only occasionally rubs against Kong Ming, and the tea in Wujun But it was even better. A Dou picked up the tea bowl and wanted to drink it, but was snatched away by Lu Bu next to him.

Snapped!

The tea bowl was still on the ground by Lu Bu, and before Adou could react, Lu Bu had already grabbed the maidservant. At the same time, Kong Ming stood up and pulled Adou behind him.

The tea bowl shattered, and frightening foam evaporated on the ground. A Dou was startled, the tea was poisonous!

Turning his head to look at Zhou Yu, there was surprise on his face, as if he didn't know it. At this time, Lu Bu had already fought the maid for more than a dozen moves. Although Lu Bu was fighting the enemy empty-handed, he was still the number one general in the world today. , this maid has been able to go through so many tricks under Lu Bu's hands and has not yet failed, obviously she has a unique skill!

Kong Ming had noticed something was wrong before. Although Zhou Yu already knew the identity of Adou, he would not reveal it to the outside world, let alone explain it to a maid. A Dou, who turned to the next seat, obviously had ulterior motives, so no matter whether there was any problem with the tea, Kong Ming would not let A Dou touch it.

Whoosh!

But she said that the maid gradually felt exhausted, but she still didn't give up, she turned around and looked for the right opportunity, and suddenly shot three poisonous darts at Adou's side, Lu Bu frowned, luckily swept the poisonous darts away, "It's you!"

Before A Dou disembarked, Lu Bu had received darts, but because the peace talks with Zhou Yu were not yet clear, the matter was suppressed by Kong Ming. I didn't expect to meet this assassin in the dignified governor's mansion now!

In an instant, Lu Bu didn't hold back his hand anymore, and slapped the maidservant who wanted to take the opportunity to retreat. The maid let out an ah, and fell softly to the ground. Just when Lu Bu wanted to attack again, "Slow down!"

"slow!"

It turned out that Zhou Yu and Adou spoke at the same time.

If it was just Zhou Yu, Lu Bu would naturally ignore it. The assassin's repeated actions had obviously reached the bottom line. Even if he was beaten to death here, Zhou Yu would not have the slightest complaint, but A Dou actually spoke out to stop him, and Lu Bu snorted. , and didn't pull back, just hit the maidservant's side half an inch abruptly, cracking the wood and stone.

"mother……"

"Miss, why are you here!?"

Although Zhou Yu's questioning voice overwhelmed A Dou's voice, Kong Ming who was standing next to him still got a general idea, and he looked at A Dou with doubts, but the current situation does not allow him to ask too much, Zhou Yu has already stepped forward With one step, he helped the maidservant up from the ground.

There was still anger on the girl's face, but she could also see a beautiful face. Standing upright in front of them at this moment, she could feel the temperament that was incompatible with a maidservant, which can only be cultivated by a famous family. Temperament, yes, this maid, or assassin, is Miss Sun Jia, A Dou's future third wife, Sun Shangxiang.And it was precisely because A Dou had gradually recognized her just now that he spoke to stop her.

"Presumptuous! Apologize to General Liu soon!" Zhou Yu was already extremely angry, not to mention that Liu Bei is now on an envoy to Wu County, and more importantly, he also brought antidote. If Sun Shangxiang's assassination angered Liu Bei, It is absolutely unacceptable for Zhou Yu to ask Liu Bei to give up Sun Ce's treatment every minute, so even if it is the little sister everyone has always loved, Zhou Yu is merciless.If this kind of incident is not handled well, there is no room for turning around. If it is someone else, Sun Shangxiang will be taken down and beheaded. Zhou Yu wants to save Sun Shangxiang's life, but this girl is ungrateful and refuses to apologize!

"Why should I apologize?! Eldest brother is still lying on the bed with unknown life and death. He is about to fail. The enemy who poisoned him is right in front of him. What's the reason for us to serve him tea?! I just want to let him He also tastes the taste of this heart-piercing poison, if big brother... I want him to be buried with him!"

"General Sun... Is the situation not good? I have asked Mr. Hua... the doctor to go to detoxify immediately, this..." Xiao Sanniang, don't cry!Old man Hua is too slow. If the uncle can't cure it well, he will never give old man Hua any more meat in the future!

"Yes, miss, Doctor Hua Tuo is already treating Bofu. You have wrongly blamed General Liu." Zhou Yu hurriedly followed A Dou's words. Liu Jun was wrongly blamed for this matter, which was originally the key point for Kong Ming to come to negotiate this time, but now because he wanted to save Sun Shangxiang's life, Zhou Yu took the lead in making the most important concession.

"Captain!" At this moment, a guard stepped forward quickly and whispered to Zhou Yu.Zhou Yu's face softened, and he turned to look at A Dou with gratitude on his face, "The antidote is effective, thank you!"

Hearing that, Sun Shangxiang was also taken aback, "There is an antidote...Brother...Is there any cure?"

"Yes, as long as the poison is cured, General Sun will definitely recover."

Sun Shangxiang looked up and saw A Dou's determined face, and suddenly seemed to gain some confidence from it. He let go of the dart in his hand, squatted down and cried, and the guards quickly cleaned up the mess. It turned out that Sun Shangxiang put it in the tea bowl and wiped it on the dart. The poison is nothing more than an ordinary poison, and the dose is not large, and it will not kill people, so there is finally some room for turning things around.

Seeing that Sun Shangxiang was crying miserably, Adou hesitated for a moment, but still handed out the handkerchief. He had never seen such a young lady before, but he remembered that when she sneaked across the river with him in his arms, Master Zilong wanted to snatch him. At that time, Xiao Sanniang also hugged him and cried like this, hugging him very tightly, crying miserably.

Sun Shangxiang took the handkerchief, wiped away her tears, and seemed to calm down a bit, then blushed, looked at A Dou evasively, and said hesitantly: "I...I'm...I'm sorry..."

"Miss is young, stab..."

"It's okay, it's just that Ms. Sun cared too much about General Sun and was impulsive. Ms. Sun is young, so it's inevitable. Go back!" A Dou directly interrupted Zhou Yu's explanation, and he gave up on the conditions and let Sun Shangxiang go. .

"This..." Even Zhou Yu was a little dazed, and subconsciously looked at Kong Ming, but he found that Kong Ming had no intention of objecting, and even Lu Bu just looked at Sun Shangxiang with a cold expression, and he followed Liu Bei's intention.At this point, Zhou Yu finally understood that Liu Bei's previous behavior of not caring about his seat, even serving as a guard for the military division, did not damage his dignity in the hearts of his subordinates, because as long as it was his decision, no matter whether it was at the expense of interests, they would not If there is an objection, the lord is the lord, and he says what he says.

"Why did you come out? How's it going?" Sun Shangxiang sobbed and followed out of the inner hall, and walked slowly to the back mansion. After turning a few turns, he was stopped by a young man with blue eyes.Seeing that Sun Shangxiang was hiccupping from crying and was speechless for a long time, the young man became anxious, "Stop crying, what's going on, is Liu Bei poisoned?"

Seeing that Sun Shangxiang could come out intact, he knew that the matter might not be successful, but with slim expectations, the boy still asked a question.

Sun Shangxiang shook his head and looked at him with wet eyes.The young man sighed, as if he was heartbroken, "Let that Liu Bei get away, damn it, I can't avenge my brother!"

"Liu...General Liu didn't harm Eldest Brother, we wronged him." Unexpectedly, the boy who had tried Bailing was refuted by Sun Shangxiang, "General Liu is a good man, and he even sent someone to bring the antidote. Eldest Brother's poison has been cured!"

"Knowing people, knowing face but not heart, you just met him and said he is a good person? Who knows if he was poisoned and brought antidote to pretend to be a good person! Xiang'er, you are too easy to trust people."

"Second brother, I..."

"Forget it, you are tired too, go back and rest first."

Sending Sun Shangxiang away, the young man stood still, and after a while, a maid came hurriedly, "Young master, I have confirmed, that General Liu doesn't seem to be angry at all, and the governor is still talking with them in the inner hall. Looks like it's going well..."

The young man completely sank his face.

Chapter [-] of Adouxiong's Hegemony: Mr. Kong Ming said, be careful when you go out, don't drink tea, don't eat pastries, don't touch pears with rock sugar, braised elbows have a universe, only clan brothers are upright people, Zhuge can serve food ,then……

Smoked fish for breakfast, smoked fish for lunch, smoked fish for dinner... Although sleeping with Master Kong Ming is very happy every day, but it is true that he hasn't seen Lu perverted for a long time... Could it be that he was poisoned to death because he didn't eat smoked fish? !
