Treacherous ministers have deep routines

late at night.

The cold wind blew the banner in front of the Yamen, and in the middle of the night, the Suanzao camp fell into dead silence.

"Tat, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta ta!" Gongsun Zan was dressed in black armor, holding a long lance in his hand.

Today is Gongsun Zan leading troops to guard the Suanzao camp.

Gongsun Zan led the army to patrol the camp. His face was expressionless and his eyes were stern. However, the fingers holding the long lance turned slightly white, as if he had made some important decision.

Gongsun Zan led the troops around the camp, and when he came back, he happened to meet Wei Man who had come out of the tent of the shogunate late at night.

Wei Man came up to meet him, smiled and said to Gongsun Zan, "General Gongsun is on duty tonight? It's really hard work."

Gongsun Zan said calmly, "How hard is it to be able to serve the leader?"

Wei Man laughed "haha" when he heard it, and said: "Yes, yes, if everyone can have the consciousness of General Gongsun, then the leader of the alliance will feel at ease."

He said, and then said: "Then the leader will not bother General Gongsun. General Gongsun also knows that the enthronement ceremony of the leader will be held in two days. I am busy and dizzy, so I will take my leave first?"

Gongsun Zan immediately cupped his hands, his face impeccable, without showing any disrespect, and said, "Respectfully send off the leader!"

Wei Man smiled, looking very friendly, and soon walked away without a trace.

Gongsun Zan stood where he was, looked at Wei Man's back, sneered, and said, "Idiot."

Gongsun Zan said that was all, and continued to lead his troops to patrol. After the third week of patrolling, he happened to see a close friend of Youzhou Mu Liu Yu sending some kind of document into the tent.

Gongsun Zan squinted his eyes, and then heard a soft "crash", followed by Liu Yu and the cronies all left the camp, and went outside to talk.

The voices of the two were very low, as if they were afraid of disturbing Liu He's rest. Although Gongsun Zan was far away, he could hear clearly because of his sharp ears and eyes.

Then I heard the two people intermittently say words such as "border", "foreigners", "casualty" and so on.

When Gongsun Zan heard this, he knew very well that the confidant must be reporting the battle situation at the border with Youzhou Mu Liu Yu.

I vaguely heard Liu Yu say: "Trash!"

The voice suddenly became a little higher, and then the confidant said: "The humble general knows his mistake, the humble general knows his mistake, please speak softly, my lord, and don't disturb the young master to rest."

Liu Yu also seemed to feel that he had lost his composure just now, and immediately said patiently, "I can't handle such a trivial matter."

As he spoke, he glanced back at the tent, afraid of waking Liu He, he said to the confidant, "Come with me, let's talk over there."

"Yes Yes."

So Liu Yu quickly left the tent with the cronies and walked far away.

Gongsun Zan saw that the timing was just right.

Today was the day he was on duty, and the camp was quiet at night. As long as Gongsun Zan took advantage of his position, dismissed the guards, and waited for Youzhou Shepherd Liu Yu to leave the camp, he could easily capture Liu He.

Because of the torture, Liu He's body was weak, and it is said that he became a disabled person, but Gongsun Zan was saved from some troubles.

After all, although Liu He's previous kung fu was not top-notch, he still had a foundation. If he resisted and attracted others, it would be a big deal.

And now...

Not only is Liu He a disabled person, but his voice is also damaged. His voice is hoarse and he cannot speak loudly.

On the contrary, it provided Gongsun Zan with full convenience.

Seeing Liu Yu leave, Gongsun Zan was careful not to enter the camp immediately, for fear that Liu Yu would return from time to time.

He stayed for a while, but Liu Yu didn't come back, so Gongsun Zan immediately said to the soldiers, "There was movement there just now, go and check the situation."

"Yes! General!"

The soldiers didn't doubt that he was there, so they hurriedly led them away to see the situation from a distance.

On the other hand, Gongsun Zan narrowed his eyes, stopped hesitating immediately, and immediately strode towards Liu Yu's camp with big strides. With a sound of "crash...", he gently opened the curtain and squeezed into the tent sideways.

There were no lights in the camp, it was dark, and everything was quiet.

The moment Gongsun Zan lifted the curtain, dim moonlight leaked into the tent, but it was only for a moment, and as the curtain was lowered, the last ray of light disappeared.

Gongsun Zan squinted his eyes and looked around alertly. When he found no one around, he immediately strode towards the couch.

Although it was dark all around, Gongsun Zan had sharp eyes and ears, and he could still recognize a person on the couch, lying on his side with his head muffled. His figure was extremely thin, and it must be Liu He.

Gongsun Zan looked at Liu He on the couch, strode over, stood on the edge of the couch, stared at him condescendingly.

Liu He has known Gongsun Zan since he was a child. In fact, it can be said that he has a childhood friend, but it is not the same as Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, who are close friends.

Although they had known each other since childhood, they didn't have much friendship.

After Liu Henai was a family member, his ancestor was Prince Liu Xiu, whose status can be said to be extremely high, and he was the only son born in line. Although Liu Yu was busy with government affairs, he never treated Liu He badly, and people around him often flattered Liu He. It's smooth sailing.

And what about Gongsun Zan?

Although Gongsun Zan was born in a noble family, his mother was a servant girl with no status. Because of her humble status, Gongsun Zan was always inferior to others and could only serve others as a servant.

Many people look down on Gongsun Zan. When he was a child, Gongsun Zan did not have such a handsome face, nor was he tall, nor did he have a loud voice. He looked ordinary and without any aura.

Gongsun Zan always looked up to Liu He, who was surrounded by others, but he himself could only sink into the mud and be looked down upon by others.

There is only one person...

There was only one person who didn't look down on Gongsun Zan, and that person was Gongsun Zan's younger brother, Gongsun Yue.

At that time, Gongsun Yue was still a little beanbag. He was the son of his family, and he was the younger brother of Gongsun Zan. Even though they were all surnamed Gongsun, Gongsun Yue was the son of Zheng Bajinger. Insufficient, he was doted on by his family and offered everything to Gongsun Yue.

When Gongsun Zan met Gongsun Yue for the first time, he had just fought. His face was covered with blood at a young age, and he looked like a lump of carbon slag, while Gongsun Yue was like a small snowball, clean and clear, which made people Can't help it...

Want to torture him severely.

When Gongsun Zan saw Congdi for the first time, he raised his fist and beat him. Gongsun Yue was born deficient, so he was hit, and his nose began to bleed profusely. , life is also cheap, it really is not a good thing, he was made to kneel in the ancestral hall, not allowed to eat, and no one treated his wound.

At that time, Gongsun Zan almost hated this snowball-like little disciple.

It's just that in the dead of night, that little Xueqiu sneaked over by himself, brought him a big pancake and plaster for the wound, with a silly look on his face, and wanted to play with Gongsun Zan...

Gongsun Zan thought of a lot for a moment, and the various unsatisfactory experiences in his childhood made him understand a truth, if people do not consciously fight for it, they will only be trampled under their feet.

If you don't step on others, others will step on you.

If you wait until then, it's better...

Gongsun Zan narrowed his eyes. His face was expressionless, and there was no trace of pity on his face. He said in a hoarse voice, "Liu He, don't blame me for being cruel."

As he spoke, he wanted to reach out to catch the sleeping Liu He.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, before Gongsun Zan's hand touched Liu He, "Liu He" on the couch spoke.

The voice is as clear as spring water, as gentle as spring breeze, and as fragrant as herb, except that there is no hoarseness like old bark.

The voice was still smiling, and said: "General Gongsun, I am very curious, how can you be cruel?"

Gongsun Zan was taken aback, that voice was wrong!

He quickly took a step back, "Wow!" Suddenly, "Liu He" on the couch moved by himself, without Gongsun Zan needing to do anything, he even lifted the quilt covering his head, revealing his face.

Not Liu He...

It was Zhang Rang!

Zhang Rang is lying on his side on the couch. He is thin. Normally, he should be thinner than Liu He. However, Liu He was tortured in the Luoyang Forbidden Court and committed suicide several times. He has been tortured to the point where he is naturally thinner. a lot.

Zhang Rang was lying on the couch with his head covered, so Gongsun Zan thought "wishfully" that it was Liu He.

How would you know—it was tricked!

Gongsun Zan watched Zhang Rang stand up from the couch, and even tidied up his clothes. Zhang Rang was very thin and didn't seem to have much strength. He was treating Liu He a few days ago, and he himself fainted. thin.

At this time, Zhang Rang stood alone in front of Gongsun Zan, with a calm expression on his face.

Gongsun Zan was shocked at first, secretly thinking that he had accidentally been tricked, but quickly calmed down, looked around, and found that there was no other person, suddenly his eyes froze, and he stretched out his hand to hold his long spear tightly, as if he had murderous intent.

Zhang Rang stood in front of Gongsun Zan very calmly. This distance was very dangerous for Zhang Rang. He was unarmed and he was not a Lianjiazi. Gongsun Zan was tall and had outstanding martial arts skills, which was completely different.

Zhang Rang didn't have a trace of fear, and looked at Gongsun Zan indifferently.

Gongsun Zan said hoarsely, "Are you not afraid of me...will I kill you?"

Zhang Rang did not answer Gongsun Zan's words, but continued the topic just now. In the darkness, Gongsun Zan could hardly see Zhang Rang's expression clearly, so he could only hear him say in an extremely indifferent tone: "No matter how cruel a person is, Everyone has their own weaknesses, General Gongsun, you are willing to make a bet with Rang to see if Rang has poked at General Gongsun's weakness today."

Gongsun Zan squinted and looked at Zhang Rang suspiciously. Logically speaking, Zhang Rang should be startled. But at this moment, listening to his calm voice, Gongsun Zan felt a sense of uneasiness and panic in his heart.

Zhang Rang clapped his hands without waiting for Gongsun Zan to "take the challenge".

"Crash!" With a sound, the curtains of the tent were suddenly slammed up, and the lights were brightly lit for a moment, and someone suddenly rushed in from outside the tent, holding a torch high in their hands.

The leader Zhao Dian, with a beard on his face and wearing a black armor, led his troops in majesticly, and immediately surrounded Gongsun Zan.

Immediately there was the sound of clapping hands, and Wei Man walked in leisurely from the outside, pushing and shoving a young man who was tied up by his side.

The young man was very fair-skinned and not tall, with his hands tied behind his back and a cloth covering his mouth, he couldn't make a sound at all.

"Vieter!?"

As soon as the young man was pushed in, Gongsun Zan immediately recognized it as Gongsun Yue!

Wei Man personally escorted Gongsun Yue, raised his hand to wrap around Gongsun Yue's shoulders, looked like two good brothers, smiled very frivolously, and said, "Unexpected? We will do the same."

Zhang Rang glanced at Wei Man's hands on Gongsun Yue's shoulders and waist very calmly, and then looked back indifferently.

Wei Man didn't know why, but suddenly shivered for no reason, only felt that the night wind was very heavy today.

Zhang Rang cast his eyes on Gongsun Zan again, and the jumping flames reflected Zhang Rang's flame-like eyes, and he said indifferently: "General Gongsun, this rib that you can handle...is it soft?"
