Chapter 360: National War and Personal Feud

Li Su is an outlier.

At least in Cao Yu's eyes, Li Su is definitely an outlier.

The so-called "alien" means that he has never turned a blind eye to the conventions and rules of the world, and he speaks and does things like an antelope hanging on its horns, without a trace, so that people can never touch his pulse.

For example, a few days ago, anyone thought that he would never dare to kill, and everyone thought that he just wanted to scare and scare everyone, but he ordered to kill, thirteen bloody heads made the whole city frightened, and today, the name card was handed into the Assassin's Mansion, and no one led him in for a whole hour, and the customary rule of officialdom is naturally that Shangguan does not want to see you, and deliberately hangs you out of the door, either to refuse guests, or to save the intention of beating you, normal subordinate officials will only go back with fun after the ceremony, Then he tossed and turned at night to reflect on what he had done wrong, and Zhao Shangguan was so unwelcome......

And what about Li Su?

This shaft actually wants to mobilize troops and horses to attack and assassinate the Shi Mansion!

Bastard! If you don't learn well at a young age, who did you learn this bastard from you?

Cao Yu actually hid in the door for a long time, the owner of the feet was him, after Cao Yu hung Li Su out of the door, he quietly went to the gate, and secretly listened to the movement outside through the closed door......

For this unruly person, how will everyone have fun in the future?

Outside the gate, Cao Yu glared at Li Su angrily, his long black beard trembled slightly with anger, staring at him without saying a word, trying to kill Li Su with his eyes.

In contrast, Li Su's attitude was much more cordial, and the last time the two faced each other was at the execution ground of the Xizhou Bazaar. At that time, there was a piece of steaming blood and thirteen hideous and terrifying human heads between the two, and the scene of meeting had a kind of sad and bloody poetry.

It's just that I haven't seen him for a few days, but Li Su's attitude today is diametrically opposite, and he didn't realize Cao Yu's angry gaze that he was going to kill, Li Su stepped forward with a smile on his face, and without saying a word, he gave a subordinate official's salute. The smile is kind and kind, and the hideous face of the killing ring a few days ago is completely gone.

"Cao Thorn History has been lost for a long time, I haven't seen it for a few days, such as every three autumns, Xia Guan saw that the Lord Thorn Shi was full of red light, Yin Tang was shining, and the whole person was full of vigor and vitality like the rising sun in the desert, and the parents of a state can have such a complexion, and Xia Guan is really a congratulatory ...... for the officials and people of Xizhou."

When you come up, it's a stomach-souring sycophant. Cao Yu was stunned for a moment, and the vigilance and anger on his face were distracted for a moment, and he unconsciously eased down.

Of course, Cao Yu was just a little surprised by Li Su's sycophant, after all, now this Li Beijia is a real killer star in Xizhou, and he can let this ghost take the initiative to pat his own sycophant, which can be seen ...... The plot of the shaft is not small!

"Don't drive Li, don't go too far! You and I are both courtiers of His Majesty the Tang Emperor. As an official in a deserted city on the border, he should be of one heart and one mind. And you don't agree with each other and want to transfer troops to attack my assassination mansion, are you too muddy to be an official? Datang's physique has been lost by you! Cao Yu reprimanded with a cold face.

Li Su's face was dazed: "What kind of troops were transferred to attack the Assassin Mansion?" What are you talking about? ”

Cao Yu became more and more angry: "You dare to say that you didn't say this just now? ”

Li Su was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head decisively: "I didn't say it." ”

Cao Yu: "............"

…………

"Say, don't drive to the door today, is there anything wrong?" Cao Yu rubbed his temples, now his head hurts, and he wants to kill people with the same headache as Cao Cao.

Mouth asked. Cao Yu stood motionless outside the door, obviously not having the slightest intention of inviting Li Su to come in and sit down.

Li Su pursed his lips and generously forgave the state official for his unqualified behavior of not knowing the number of etiquette.

Tiptoeing sideways and glancing inside the open door, Li Su suddenly showed a look of surprise: "Huh? The courtyard of Cao Thorn History is quite chic, it is really complicated and simple. Although there is nothing bare, it looks very elegant and quiet, and the residence of Baume & Mercier is ......"

As he spoke, under Cao Yu's stunned gaze, Li Su quickly bypassed him, stepped into the gate of the Thorn History Mansion by himself, and walked into the courtyard inside the door to look around, looking like it was easy to invite the gods and send the gods.

Cao Yu's face was so dark that he couldn't do it, and his eyes were wide open angrily, and he was only waiting to say a few words, but when he saw the expressions of the cavalry soldiers and many subordinates in his mansion, he finally forcibly held back the evil words that blurted out.

…………

In the front hall of the Assassin's Mansion, the guest and the host sat down, the atmosphere was silent, and the wind in the hall was gusting.

They don't have a good impression of each other, they are restraining each other, Cao Yu wants to kick Li Su to death, and Li Su doesn't want to use the soles of his shoes to slap the nasty face in front of him?

It's just that now is not the time to smoke him.

Because the enemy is current.

"Say, what is the matter with Li Beijia looking for this official?" Cao Yu asked coldly.

Li Su arched his hand: "Let the officials ask first, has the Zhichong Mansion under the rule of Cao Tingshi sent spies to the countries of the Western Regions to find out the movements of the soldiers and horses of the countries?" ”

"The movement of soldiers and horses of the countries?" Cao Yu's brows tightened: "Why did Li Beijia say this?" ”

Li Su sighed: "If the officials don't expect it, I'm afraid that something will happen in Xizhou......

"What misfortune?"

"The soldiers are coming to the city and capturing Xizhou, is it a disaster for you and me?"

Cao Yu's face suddenly became solemn: "Where did Li Beijia get the news from?" ”

"A distant and mysterious place......"

Cao Yu: "............"

Talking to this kind of person makes you want to chop him to death a hundred times, a hundred times, in the blink of an eye......

"The source is not the point, but the lower officials can vouch for it, the news is absolutely correct, the lord of Qiuzi and the prime minister of the state are fighting among themselves, and the minister of state Nali wants to ask for the support of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and asks me to help him overthrow the lord of the country, if the Tang Dynasty does not agree, the minister of state Nali decided to completely surrender to the Western Turks, and sent troops to seize Xizhou, in order to ask for merit from the Western Turkic Yibi Lu Khan, and by the way, Xizhou was used as a bargaining chip to seek an alliance with Gaochang, Turkic and Tubo and other countries......"

Cao Yu snorted coldly: "Military affairs, no child's play, Li Beijiamo said too surely, the prime minister of Qiuzi is not a scheming person, among which he knows the stakes best, it doesn't matter if he offends the Turkic Gaochang, can he afford the consequences of offending the Tang Dynasty?" Again...... What if His Majesty the Emperor and the courtiers of the three provinces agreed to support Nali? ”

Li Su also sneered: "Promise to support Nali? Cao Thorn History, your words are the real child's play, today's Qiuci lord is Bu Shibi, Nali is just the prime minister of Qiuci, one is a king, the other is a minister, it is a great rebellion to defeat the monarch with a minister, I have always respected Confucian orthodoxy, how can I be willing to open my eyes for a usurper and rebel minister? Not to mention...... Twelve years ago, the change of Xuanwumen, now His Majesty is also a courtier and a great treasure, this matter has been criticized by the world for 12 years, His Majesty has tried his best to change the world's perception of him over the years, how can it be for the sake of a mere rebel minister and ruined the reputation that has been built up in the past 12 years? ”

Cao Yu glanced at him in surprise, the truth is a truth that everyone understands, but this truth came out of the mouth of a teenager, it was too shocking, Cao Yu was in a trance for a while, as if the person in front of him was not the young man who had not dried up, but an old fox who had been scheming for a long time.

After Li Su finished speaking, he looked at Cao Yu quietly, and after waiting for a long time, he saw Cao Yu in a daze, and he didn't answer for a long time, so he couldn't help but be a little impatient.

"Cao Tingshi, this shallow and ugly opinion of the lower officials, I don't know what the respectful driver thinks?" Li Su couldn't help but urge.

Cao Yu was still staring blankly, his out-of-focus gaze was dazed, and he didn't know what to think.

Li Su sighed, this kind of person is too bad at chatting, if it weren't for the situation, the ghost would be willing to talk nonsense with him.

I don't know how long it took, Cao Yu came back to his senses, and his old face couldn't help but be hot.

The young man in front of him is still a teenager, what is the illusion that he thought the other party was an old fox just now?

Coughing twice in disguise, Cao Yu stroked his green beard lightly, and said slowly: "This official Zhenguan has been in charge of Xizhou Assassin History for nine years, and it has been three years since then, in the past three years, Xizhou has been attacked by foreign enemies four times, and the enemy army is dressed as bandits every time, so the four sieges were held by the soldiers of the Zhichong Mansion led by the official ......"

Looking at Li Su and smiling, Cao Yu said: "Li Beijia, if it is as you said, the Prime Minister of the Guizi Kingdom wants to plot against my Xizhou, if it is just a bluff of thousands of people like the previous four times, even if they really call, the official is not afraid of them, do you understand what I mean?" ”

Li Su understood, Cao Yu didn't believe that there would be a large army pressing the border, he thought it was still a small group of thousands of bandits dressed up in the city, or to put it bluntly, Cao Yu didn't believe every word Li Su said, this distrust came from the deep resentment of Li Su buried in his heart.

The atmosphere of the deliberations was calm, but there were considerable differences in everyone's opinions, whether it was subjective disagreement or personal grievances between the two, in short, the contradictions were irreconcilable.

Li Su suddenly felt very tired.

Why is it so difficult to do one thing, and it is something that has nothing to do with one's own interests in the slightest? Everyone thinks they are the smartest, and everyone wants to be in control of the overall situation, but there can always be only one person who gives orders, and there are many people who come up with ideas, and who do the people below listen to?

"Cao Thorn History, believe me, this enemy siege is by no means comparable to the previous small fights, Your Majesty's refusal of the request of the Prime Minister of the Guizi State to usurp the throne is no suspense result, Nali can't ask for help, it will be evil, and Gao Changguo is even more resentful of my Tang Dynasty occupying their Xizhou, and there are the Western Turks who are waiting to reap the benefits of fishing, Tubo, etc., the lower officials can be sure that this time to attack my Xizhou, it must be a huge momentum, more than 10,000 people of the alliance of the countries, Cao Thorn History, the enemy is current, Don't teach you and my personal grievances and miss the major military affairs, we should take precautions as soon as possible, so as to strive for a glimmer of life for the officials and civilians of Xizhou!
