Chapter 30 Group Fooling
"A Feng, it's up to you to help me with my military training. You can't help me, my brother." Liu Qi was very happy to see Xu Shu's promise, and turned to Liu Feng with a smile.
When Liu Qi turned around, Xu Shu's eyes narrowed and gave him a dark look. Liu Feng was basically convinced that the farce of this mutiny was probably Xu Shu's plan. Knowing this, he had to accompany him to continue acting.
"Last time, it was the first time for me to go to the battlefield in Changbanpo. It was so painful to lose. Brother, if you let me help you train, I'm not afraid that I will practice worse and worse." Liu Feng laughed at himself.
Liu Qi laughed and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be modest. Just now, under such a chaotic situation, you can still keep calm and easily calm down the chaos. With this, you can rest assured."
"Sir, how did you suppress the rebellion? Do you really want to know?" It seems that because of his carefully planned strategy, it was downplayed by Liu Feng, and Xu Shu showed a strong interest in it.
Don't wait for Liu Feng to be modest. His brother rushed to say what Liu Feng had just done.
Xu Shu, who listened, stroked his sparse beard with his hand and nodded with a smile: "The eldest prince's move is indeed a deep combination of military tactics. If the concubine's guess is right, has the eldest prince been instructed by a master these days?"
Liu Feng grinned and looked disapproving: "There is no master. At that time, I just had an idea and bumped into it by mistake."
In front of Xu Shu, Liu Feng did not tell the truth, and did not say that he had read military books these days as Liu Qi just said. There is no other reason, just to keep a low profile. After all, the identities of Xu Shu and Liu Qi are very different. As a last resort, Liu Feng does not want to show his talent and ability to him too much.
"Afeng, don't--"
Of course, Liu Qi will not consider Liu Feng's intention and is very "satisfied" with Liu Feng's explanation. Just as he was about to say more, Liu Feng quickly interrupted him: "Brother, since the mutine here has been paced down, Mr. Yuanzhi and I will rush back to our camp outside the city first. I'm afraid that the annitening service sent by Cao Thieves will cause trouble at both ends. "
When it came to business, Liu Qi dared to keep them again, so the two left and pretended to leave the north camp in a hurry.
As soon as he left the camp, Liu Feng gave Xu Shu a look. The two of them walked quickly and distanced themselves from the subordinates behind him. Liu Feng asked with a serious expression, "Sir, to be honest, did you secretly plan the mue of this North Camp?"
Xu Shu coughed dryly: "When I was in the account just now, didn't the eldest son guess it?"
He admitted it.
Xu Shu acted on Liu Bei's order. His original intention was to be understandable, and his means were indeed clever. He let Liu Qi take the initiative to give up his military power without showing his voice. Liu Feng's plan was actually quite admirable, but what annoyed Liu Feng was that he did not inform himself in advance of such a major matter.
Liu Feng's expression was flat and he snorted coldly: "Sir's scheme is really smart, but if there is such a thing next time, can you give me a message in advance? Even if I don't do anything to help, I won't help like today. If I accidentally break the gentleman's layout, I can't afford this responsibility."
Xu Shu sensed Liu Feng's displeasure, but he still smiled: "The eldest prince didn't know anything. Before the plan was implemented, I was going to inform the eldest prince, but I sent someone to search all over Xiakou City but couldn't find the prince. I had no choice but to ask the eldest prince forgive me. "
Xu Shu's explanation shocked Liu Feng. He suddenly remembered that he had been hiding in Liu Qi's courtyard to eat, drink and have fun all day today. No wonder Xu Shu couldn't find him. In this way, it seems that this matter is still his own problem.
Liu Feng's displeasure suddenly dissipated, and his blade-like sword eyebrows stretched out and waved his hand and said, "Actually, it's nothing. I'm just afraid of missing my father's big plan. How can I blame Mr. Yuan Zhi?"
When Liu Feng showed greatness and meaninglessness, Xu Shu's eyes suddenly narrowed, and there was a little doubt in his eyes. He approached Liu Feng, stretched out his face, and his tall nose sniffed a few times.
"Mr. Yuan Zhi, what are you doing? Do you have an uncomfortable nose? Liu Feng looked at a loss.
He took a few more mouthfuls of air, and Xu Shu's expression turned a little secretive. He laughed a few times: "Sir, if I guess correctly, I've been drinking with Mr. Zide all day."
Liu Feng was shocked and suddenly remembered the assassination of Liu Qi. Since Xu Shu knew what he was doing, could it be that he had already sent someone to secretly follow Liu Qi? Could it be that he really instructed him to assassinate him?
"Why did you say this, sir?" Liu Feng didn't break it for the time being and asked back calmly.
"When I saw Mr. Zide, I smelled a strong smell of wine and powder on his body. I had heard that he was addicted to wine and sex. Today, after the mue, he rushed to the scene with the smell of alcohol, and most of them went to spend wine again. And the taste on you is exactly the same as that of Mr. Zide. You two are about the same age and have the same temper, so I dare to guess.
Xu Shu's observation is really keen, and his analysis is also meticulous and reasonable, which makes Liu Feng undeniable, or Liu Feng doesn't want to deny it at all.
"I still can't hide Mr. Xu's nose. Well, it's rare for Brother Zide to have a good time, so I have to have a few drinks with him." Liu Feng frankly admitted the truth, and then turned his mouth again: "However, today, when I was drinking with Zide, I bumped into an assassin who wanted to assassinate Zide, and the assassin also had a token engraved with his father's name."
Liu Feng did not ask directly, but euphemistically hinted.
Xu Shu was stunned at first, and then laughed: "Sir, if you think that such a clumsy assassination plan is also arranged by me, then you really underestimate my Xu Shu's wisdom."
Although Xu Shu plotted a ghost, there was no need to deny it in front of him. Liu Feng's previous worry was completely relieved at this moment, so he smiled and said, "Of course, I know that it is impossible to do this clumsy plan with your strategy, but I also think that such a low-level alienation is not likely to be ordered by Cao Qian. If not, who wants both Zide's life and the relationship between their uncles and nephews?
Xu Shu's expression gradually became solemn, and he said, "Although the eldest prince is the governor of Jiangxia, I think there are many people in Jiangxia County who want to obey Cao. Today's assassination is likely to be those who surrendered to the Cao faction who made their own decisions and wanted to ask for credit from Cao.
Liu's cover showed a sad look: "Zide's surname is casual. He usually neglects to guard against his own safety. If the Cao faction really wants to kill him, I'm afraid he can hide this time and can't avoid it next time."
Xu Shu pondered for a moment: "The flag of Mr. Zide is crucial for the lord to control Jingzhou in the future. Before that, he must not die. It seems that we should secretly strengthen the protection of him in the future."
Xu Shu's words made Liu Feng's heart a little awe. In his words, Liu Qi didn't seem to be a living person at all, but just a pawn that could be used.
This indifference suddenly made Liu Feng feel a chill.
