Chapter 244 Assassin Guo Xiu
When Lu Xun met with Wei envoy, Ma Su's mansion also came to visit a talented person from Xizhou.

When the old housekeeper of the Ma Mansion notified that the visitor claimed to be Guo Xiu, Ma Su was taken aback, quickly let go of Axiu's little hand, stood up reflexively, and quickly paced around the room.

"Whoever comes is not kind, and those who are kind don't come!"

"Wei Guo can't beat me, so he's going to become an assassin out of embarrassment?" Ma Di shook his hand, and the corner of his mouth unconsciously formed a mocking arc.

"Guo Xiu, also known as Guo Xiu, also known as Guo Xun, a native of Xiping, Liangzhou, a dead soldier and assassin of Wei."

"Presumably after I led the army to capture Liangzhou and supported the prime minister to capture Longyou, the idea of ​​sending assassins to kill me had already been born in the whole state of Wei."

As Ma Su spoke eloquently, his mind quickly calmed down.

He had expected this situation.

Because Cao Cao, the founder of the Wei State, was an assassin himself, and he personally demonstrated the assassination of Dong Zhuo, so the Wei State has always had the old tradition of "sending assassins if you can't beat it".Xu Gong's three disciples who assassinated Sun Ce in the past, Han Long who assassinated Kirbineng not long ago, and even Guo Xiu who later assassinated Fei Yi were all like this.

Hearing this, Axiu's face changed slightly, and she looked at her worriedly: "That husband... Do you want to see him?"

In fact, what Axiu wanted to say was: "Should I go and kill him as a concubine?"

As soon as she heard that the visitor was an assassin, she subconsciously wanted to act first and kill Guo Xiu to prevent the latter from violently injuring Ma Su...

Although Axiu knew that Ma Su's force was very high, but the assassination was not a one-on-one confrontation. He relied on sneak attacks. No matter how high the force was, there would always be times when he would slack off. It was difficult to maintain vigilance for a long time.

"No hurry!" Ma Di raised his hand, made a gesture to Axiu to be safe and not to panic, and smiled slightly: "Since you're here, you'll be free if you're idle, play with him!"

When it comes to playing dirty, Ma Di really has no fear.

So, he shouted outside the door: "Please!"

The butler responded, and the footsteps quickly walked away.

Ma Di straightened his clothes and walked to the main hall with square steps.

Axiu was worried, and followed closely with her sword in hand, hiding behind the screen to suppress the formation.

Shaoqing, a young man with an unremarkable appearance and a rather refined temperament, was guided by the old housekeeper to the main hall.

As soon as he entered the door, Guo Xiu bowed five steps away and said, "Guo Xiu Guo Xiaoxian, a grassroots man, has met the prince."

Just from this title, it is enough to see that he has done his homework before coming here, saying "I have met the prince" instead of "I have met the general (adult)", which shows that Guo Xiu is very clear about Ma Su's current position.

"Please sit down." Ma Di remained vigilant, slightly raised his hand in return, signaling the latter to take a seat, and at the same time looked at the latter.

Although Guo Xiu's appearance is not good, he has a good temperament, a modest attitude, and an extraordinary conversation, which makes people feel good about him.

"Xiaoxian, why did you come all the way from Liangzhou to visit me, who has no official status?" Ma Su sat on the head seat and asked with a smile.

Guo Xiu also showed a polite smile, and cupped his hands and replied: "Is the golden scale a thing in the pool, it will turn into a dragon when it encounters a storm. Although the monarch and marquis have no official position for the time being, they will definitely regain power in the near future."

"This time, Junhou took Xiliang by force and planned to earn money in Longyou. It can be said that his reputation has shocked the world. In Ji Han, it was even more popular. It is admirable. Guo Xiu is not talented, and he knows a little about the general situation of Weidi's cities. Today I would like to be a guest of the emperor, serve you in the morning and evening, listen to the teachings, and hope that I can follow the emperor to make immortal achievements, so as to leave a name for future generations."

It was the first time Ma Di saw such a direct self-recommendation. He was slightly surprised, laughed and got up, stepped down from the main seat, came to Guo Xiu, and looked down from above.

Guo Xiu hurriedly got up, cupped his hands in salute, and accepted Ma Su's close observation.

However, although Guo Xiu looked calm and composed, the sweat dripping from his forehead still showed his inner unrest.

Today's Ma Di is well-known outside the world. He has fought dozens of battles since he led the army, and the number of enemies killed by him alone is no less than 20. The monstrous killing has already created a sharp killing spirit in his aura and eyes. It is difficult for people to face it without changing their colors.

Sure enough, after only a short while, Guo Xiu couldn't stand Ma Su's stare, and unconsciously took a step back, and fell back to his seat.

Ma Su's eyes were slightly restrained, and he smiled and asked Guo Xiu some irrelevant matters, and then reasoned that he had no official position and could not arrange duties.Then the voice changed, and he recommended Fei Yi, who had just recovered his life, to him.

Guo Xiu heaved a sigh of relief, cupped his hands in thanks, and left in embarrassment.

Ma Di called the four major generals and ordered them to take shifts to watch Guo Xiu's every move in Chengdu with their clever servants.

From now on, Guo Xiu had to find out where he went every day, who he met, how many meals he ate, and how much time he spent going to the toilet.

The four major departments will leave with great enthusiasm.

Soon, pieces of information about Guo Xiu came up.

After Guo Xiu left Ma's mansion, he went to see Fei Yi's mansion the next day.

Since the Shu Han has always regarded itself as "orthodox" and newly controlled Liangzhou, in order to buy people's hearts in Liangzhou, they treated Liangzhou talents who volunteered for official positions with extra courtesy.The important minister Fei Yi was no exception, and received Guo Xiu very solemnly.

No one knows what the two talked about after they met.

But since Fei Yi met Guo Xiu, the latter was immediately appointed to work in Shu County, and he was under Fei Yi's subordinates, and he stayed in Chengdu to develop with peace of mind.

Ma Su is not worried that keeping Guo Xiu in Chengdu for a long time will endanger Zhuge Liang's safety. In terms of personal security, Zhuge Liang can be said to be the best among all the officials in the past and present-he even brought him with him when he went to court. With more than 100 guards.

Ma Su mainly wanted to see what kind of tricks this assassin Guo Xiu could play.

Will it be like the original history, lurking for three years, eager to assassinate Liu Chan but unable to do so, and killed the general Fei Yi in a fit of ruthlessness.

Ma Di doesn't care about the life and death of the scheming bitch Fei Yi.

Guo Xiu acts in a low-key manner, is modest and calm, treats every official he knows or not with courtesy, and works hard without complaint. He is also very good at handling government affairs, as if he was born to be a good official.

Such talents quickly won unanimous praise from colleagues.Soon, Zhuge Liang also noticed Guo Xiu, and made an exception to meet Guo Xiu before going to Hanzhong.

Of course, more than 100 guards from the Prime Minister's Mansion were naturally present during the interview.

In the next few days, under Guo Xiu's deliberate friendship, the two "opposite personalities" but "like-minded" people soon became close friends who talked about everything.

Fei Yi also discovered that Guo Xiu, like him, had a deep hostility towards Ma Su, which was good news for Fei Yi.

So the two got closer.

The four major generals saw all this in their eyes, and they were all worried. They didn't understand why Ma Su connived at Guo Xiu, a person who "obviously had problems", and was in cahoots with his political opponent Fei Yi.

On this day, the loyal Zhang Xiu couldn't bear it any longer, he hesitated for a long time after following Ma Di, and finally said: "General, this person cannot be kept!"

"Why don't I go for him?!"

The other three generals nodded in agreement, and they also agreed with Zhang Xiu's approach.

Guo Xiu is a smiling tiger, very sinister, he can't stay!
"Hehe, don't panic, I have my own opinion." Seeing the excited expressions of the four generals, Ma Di smiled slightly and added: "This man is Wei Guo's eye, and it will be very useful for me to keep it. Don't startle the snake."

"My own eyes can sometimes be deceiving."

Zhang Xiu was stunned: "Ah, general, how can my eyes deceive people?"

The other three nodded in agreement. They also wanted to know how their eyes deceived themselves.

Ma Di laughed, and immediately gave the four people a "fake hand test, eyes tricking the brain" experiment.

When Ma Di smashed the lifelike wooden hand into pieces with a hammer, Zhang Xiu immediately screamed, holding his intact hand and screaming, the scream was more miserable than the sound of killing a pig.

Yang Wanwan and Li Sheng were not much better either, one almost pissed in fear on the spot, and the other fell to the ground on the spot.

Only Huang Xi was calm during the test, his eyes were round and his expression hardly changed.

But in the end, he was helped back into the room by the servants—his legs were so frightened that he could not walk
After this experiment was completed, the eyes of the four generals looking at Ma Di changed again, from respect to respect and fear.

In this era, science is not so popular, and many things that cannot be explained will be attributed to the gods.

Therefore, they felt that their generals would be demons.

In short, your own general is not a human being!
It is half fairy and half god.

Similar to Zuo Ci, Yu Ji, and Zhang Jiao.Even, it is higher and more powerful than these three humanitarian laws.

These three people can only use Fushui to cure some minor illnesses, but Ma Di can save the dying.

Ma Su didn't care much about what the four generals thought of him, he only cared about Shu Han's next strategy, whether to continue to attack Wei, or to deal with the second and fifth sons of Soochow first.

Originally, he had no idea which one to hit first.Sending Wang Ping to Soochow as an undercover agent was just a precautionary measure to avoid being stabbed in the back by Soochow again.

But now, after seeing Guo Xiu, his thoughts gradually became clear, and he knew which country the Shu Han should attack first.

However, the top priority is not to attack, but to straighten out the interior, thoroughly digest the newly acquired Liangzhou and Longyou areas, consolidate the existing territories, and increase the national power of the Shu Han.

Of course, Zhuge Liang has already done this.

There are only two things that Ma Su needs to do at present, one, keep an eye on Wang Ping's situation, and two, trick Guo Xiu bit by bit.

Sometimes, Ma Su would also think, simply give Wang Ping an order, let him find a suitable opportunity, give Lu Xun to X, and cut off Soochow's arm.

But after much deliberation, this idea is still for nothing. With the current development momentum of the Shu Han, it is absolutely possible to defeat Wu Guo in the future, and there is no need to play so shady.
