Chapter 1157: Poisoner Jia Xu

In Chang'an City, in a remote courtyard, two people were playing chess under a tree.

One of them is obviously a woman disguised as a man, wearing a Confucian uniform and wearing a long sword, but the overly glamorous face still makes people see that she is a beautiful woman at first glance.

The other was dressed in light, homely clothing and was probably over forty years old.

Around the two of them, dozens of powerful generals stood in the small courtyard, and if you look out, you could see thousands of fully armed elite troops waiting in formation around the small courtyard.

Women disguised as men hold white pieces, and middle-aged people hold black pieces. In terms of the situation on the chessboard, white pieces are clearly dominant.

Bai rolled another stone, and after eating a large piece of black stones, the disguiser suddenly said, "Sir, your mind is disturbed, I'm afraid you won't be able to win against me in this state."

Her voice is soft and charming, but there is also a trace of fortitude, which can involuntarily attract people's minds.

The middle-aged man frowned and looked at the chess game for a while, then sighed suddenly, sprinkled the sunspots on the board, shook his head and said, "Your Royal Highness is superb at chess, and this old man is willing to bow down."

"Hehehe." The beauty smiled coquettishly, stood up and gave a salute, and said, "Sir, my highness is too good at winning, I made you laugh at me."

The middle-aged man shook his head helplessly and sighed slightly. Anyone who has two heavily armed generals staring at him when he is playing chess will not be able to display his normal strength.

"Since you have lost to His Highness, sir, according to our agreement, please invite him to become an official. The position of Tai Tuo is waiting for you. Please don't refuse, sir."

The middle-aged man sighed again, with a look of distress on his face, he said helplessly: "Your Highness has talented people, so why bother?"

"Hahaha, sir, that's it. The name of the 'poisoner' is known all over the world. In terms of talent, how many people can compare with the master?"

That's right, the woman disguised as a man is Diao Chan, the lord of Chang'an, and the middle-aged man is the long-lost top strategist——Jia Xu!

Long before Dong Zhuo was demonized, Jia Xu, who sensed something was wrong, disappeared mysteriously. This disappearance lasted for four or five years without any news.

When Dong Zhuo's power was defeated, Shang Ji even specially ordered Yingyi Miwu and Qian Huan to work together to find Jia Xu, but in the end, nothing happened.

Hearing the word "poisoner", the wry smile on Jia Xu's face became even stronger. As a Gou Dao master, the thing he fears most is becoming famous. Now he is not only famous, he has also won the title of "poisoner", which is not very friendly at first sight.

Every time Jia Xu thinks of this, he can't wait to smash those strange people to pieces. If it weren't for these strange people who contributed to the flames, who would notice him, this "ordinary" little guy?

Originally, according to Jia Xu's life plan, he found a prince who was not particularly eye-catching but obedient to take refuge in. After the general situation of the world became clear, he encouraged the princes to take refuge in the Ming Lord, and then slowly simmered through his seniority, dawdling without showing any signs of success, and finally Retiring with the honorary official position of the Sangong is safe and rich, and it can also protect future generations.

The plan is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

Under the urging of the players, Jia Xu's reputation as a poisoner has already spread all over the world, how can he continue to live with such a title?

However, Jia Xu is a top strategist after all, and his wisdom is top notch. He immediately revised his strategy, gave up his morality, and decided to become an official.

Three days ago, Jia Xu showed up in Chang'an, and Diao Chan found him almost at the same time he showed up in Chang'an. Having had contact with Jia Xu, Diao Chan, who knew how powerful he was, immediately led two thousand imperial guards to invite Jia Xu out of the mountain.

Jia Xu took advantage of the situation and made a bet with Diaochan. If he won, he would become an official of Diaochan, and if he lost, Diaochan would let him go. Under Jia Xu's intentional concession, Diao Chan naturally won the bet.

There are three main reasons why Jia Xu chose Diaochan. The first is security. Chang'an has mountains and rivers inside and outside, and the terrain is dangerous, making it difficult for the enemy to break in. The second is safety. Taking a step back, even if he has the strength to break through the Hangu Pass, Diao Chan has the righteousness of the court, not to mention other things, it is no problem to voluntarily surrender to save his life. The third is safety. Taking a step back, even if the enemy army is extremely vicious,

If you want to kill them all, with Chang'an's position, it is very easy to escape.

Of course, Diao Chan had a friendship with Jia Xu, knew Diao Chan's personality, and knew that there was no risk for her under Diao Chan's hands. This is also a major reason.

Well, even if Gou Sheng came out of the mountain, he already regarded safety as the only criterion.

"Teacher, please get in the car. Today the Tutor will ride with His Highness."

After leaving the small courtyard where Jia Xu lived temporarily, Diao Chan pointed to the luxury carriage parked outside the courtyard and said.

Jia Xu took a look at this luxurious and somewhat excessive carriage, cupped his hands and said: "His Royal Highness, the son of a daughter can't afford to sit in the hall, and His Highness uses this car to drive through the busy city. It is inevitable that there are some omissions. Please also learn from Your Highness."

Diao Chan froze for a moment, then looked at Jia Xu speechlessly, was she overly cautious? This is Diao Chan's core ruling area, and there are two thousand imperial guards around to protect it at every step. The carriage is also specially made. Even if it is directly hit by the torch stone cart, it may not hurt the passengers in the carriage. Dare to get in the car?

But seeing Jia Xu's resolute attitude, Diao Chan shook his head helplessly, and said: "Send an order to prepare one for His Highness, no, prepare ten identical carriages. After returning to the palace, order the Shaofu to make another carriage." Three carriages that are the same as His Highness's, and four carriages will travel at the same time in the future, His Highness's itinerary is top secret, anyone who discloses it without authorization will be punished!"

After listening to Diao Chan's words, Jia Xu nodded, showing a teachable expression.

Soon the carriage was found, and Diao Chan and Jia Xu got into the carriage one after another, with the non-existent Cai Yan next to him pouring tea and water.

"Sir, what do you think of the puppet?"

While drinking tea, Diao Chan asked Jia Xu.

"Although the method of burning the fate of the country is mysterious, it is definitely an evil method, and the gains outweigh the losses. It is foolish to think that Yuan Shu will definitely die!"

"Oh? How did you see that? According to the latest battle reports from the front, Liu Bei still lost to Ji Ling's army even with the help of the legendary Crouching Dragon. He has now withdrawn from Xiapi City and is retreating towards Xuzhou City; Cao Cao is also in a difficult situation in Yingchuan. Yangdi has been defeated, and now Zhang Xun's troops have reached Yangcheng, Yingchuan County has already fallen to 80%."

"Your Highness underestimated Wolong and Cao Aman too much. As the saying goes, only by retracting your fists can you attack the enemy more violently. The more violent Yuan Ni's offensive, the closer to the day of defeat. Or when Yuan Ni decided to put all his eggs in one basket to build a country When the time comes, he is doomed to perish!"

Diao Chan was taken aback, bowed his hands and saluted, and said, "Please teach me, sir."

"Yuan Ni is crazy, the reason is nothing more than the secret method of burning the country's fortune. But the burning of the country's fortune is ultimately the use of the law of luck. Looking at the whole world, Yuan Shu's luck can't even make it into the top five. How can He De rely on the power of luck? to rule the world?"

Diao Chan frowned slightly, and said in a puzzled way: "Although that's the case, how can we solve the current situation? It doesn't take long. Yuan Shujun only needs to maintain this fighting power for three months. I'm afraid most of the world will fall to Yuan Ni's claws." .”

"Your Highness doesn't know something, the only thing that can defeat luck is a more prosperous luck—"

Having said this, Jia Xu suddenly stopped, and suddenly raised his head, looking towards the southeast.

"Sir, what happened?"

Jia Xu finally came to her senses, smiled and said, "Your Highness, it seems that we don't need to worry, someone has already started to fight back."

After a pause, Jia Xu said again: "Your Highness said something wrong just now, with the help of Crouching Dragon, Liu Xuande is really a tiger entering the mountains and a dragon soaring in the sky!"
