Xiaoqi

At this time, Ju Yi already knew who the jade pendant in his hand belonged to, and it goes without saying that this piece of jade belonged to the Ji.But this is not a jade pendant, but an ornament on Fengji's belt to show his identity.

The blood stains and blood cloth on the corner of the wall were also left by Feng Ji, which shows that he was detained in the utility room, and was beaten so badly that blood was splashed everywhere on the corner of the wall and on the ground.

In addition, Ju Yi also saw that there was also a large blood stain on the west corner not far away, more blood than the east corner of the wall left by Feng Ji, and the blood splattered on the wall was shocking.Without thinking about it, Ju Yi knew that the blood stains on the west corner were left by Yuan Xi.Both Yuan Xi and Feng Ji were imprisoned here before, and they were whipped and beaten, so that blood was splashed everywhere, and the walls were stained with spots. This attracted the attention of the soldiers, and they reported to themselves that they had found clues.

In fact, the moment Ju Yi saw the blood, he immediately thought that Yuan Xi and Feng Ji wanted to kill Zheng Feng the day before yesterday, er, it should be Li Li!Just because Yuan and Feng wanted to kill Xiliang Li Li, it was almost whimsical, and it was impossible to succeed; even if they had hundreds of soldiers around them and a thousand soldiers stationed at the four gates, all these people together would not be able to kill Li Li. profit.

Who is Li Li from Xiliang?He was the commander of the Xiliang Army who had experienced many battles and survived many battles. In just half a year, he rose rapidly in Liangzhou, where he had been fighting for a long time.Then he swept his army across the two prefectures of Yongliang and Liangzhou, ending the two prefectures of Xiliang after a hundred years of war in one fell swoop.How can Yuan Xi and Feng Ji, two white-faced scholars and more than a thousand soldiers, be able to kill such a powerful overlord of Xiliang? Even if Li Li sneaked into Zhongshan Zhen's house alone, they are not capable of dealing with them.

What's more, Xiliang Li Li, as the commander-in-chief of the Xiliang Army, has 40 troops, and his subordinates are as numerous as a cloud, and there are as many elite soldiers as a cow's hair.How could such a high-ranking and powerful person travel without his followers.How about sneaking into Jizhou alone?

Therefore, seeing all this in front of his eyes is a matter of course in Ju Yi's eyes.From this, it is not difficult for him to imagine that after he left with his own soldiers that day, Yuan Xi and Feng Ji led [-] soldiers not only failed to kill Li Li.Instead, they were all killed by Li Li's subordinates lurking around, while Yuan and Feng were captured alive by Li Li.He was detained in the utility room in the front yard of Zhen Mansion.perhaps.At this time, the two had already been killed by Li Li, and their bodies were dragged to nowhere to be buried.

After sorting out his thoughts, Ju Yi immediately remembered what Li Li said to him the day before yesterday, and immediately thought of the real purpose of Li Li's words.

To Ju Yi, Li Li's words were every word, and there was no falsehood.It can be described as golden words.However, the reason why Li Li said this to him was not without purpose, on the contrary.Li Li just wanted Ju Yi to have doubts about Yuan Shao, Yuan Xi and his son, which prompted him to turn around and leave Wuji City in a fit of anger.

Obviously, Li Li knew Ju Yi very well, he saw his thoughts clearly, every word hit Ju Yi's heart, and he successfully forced Ju Yi away.After Ju Yi left, Yuan Xi and Feng Ji had more than 1000 elite soldiers, but no generals to command the battle.Therefore, even if a pack of wolves without their leader is not weak, what good is it? It is not much different from a pack of sheep.

After fully understanding the whole story, Ju Yi couldn't help but exclaimed from the bottom of his heart: "Li Wenchang of Xiliang really lives up to his reputation, he has calculated everything, is witty and cunning, and even more ruthless!"

Indeed, Ju Yi experienced Li Li's ruthless methods firsthand.

Now the Zhen family is attached to Li Li, and the whole family has moved away, while Yuan Xi, Feng Ji and the more than 1000 Yuan Shao's soldiers who followed them were all killed by Li Li.As a result, Li Li patted his ass and left, but pretended to be Ju Yi.The day before yesterday, his duty to follow Yuan Xi to Wuji City was to protect Yuan Xi and Feng Ji, as well as to investigate the reality of the Zhen family. After returning to the camp, he told Yuan Shao that the Zhen family had no dissent and everything was normal.As a result, everything was abnormal. The life and death of Yuan Xi and Feng Ji were unknown.The most important thing is that when he met Xiliang Li Li head-on, instead of making a move, Li Li escaped calmly.

If Yuan Shao knew the details of these things, how would Ju Yi deal with himself, and how would he explain to Yuan Shao?No matter how magnanimous Yuan Shao is, it is unavoidable to suspect that he and Li Li secretly colluded, deliberately concealed the truth, used as a cover for the Zhen family to evacuate Jizhou, and even planned to frame Yuan Xi, Feng Ji and more than 1000 soldiers and soldiers for their lives.It was because of Yuan Shao's generosity and tolerance that such doubts arose.

In fact, Yuan Shao is not magnanimous at all, on the contrary, he is very suspicious, and he is always suspicious of the generals under his command, so it is difficult to have absolute trust; even Yan Liang, Wen Chou, who he trusts the most right now, are no exception.

Therefore, once Yuan Shao learned that Zhen's "cousin Zheng Feng" was Li Li from Xiliang, and the Zhen family was still attached to Li Li, they fled to Xiliang with Li Li.It's fine for Yuan Shao to catch or kill Li Li. If he can't catch Li Li and can't find the Zhen family members, then Ju Yi will be blamed!Yuan Shao would never let him go, and he would even put all the pain of losing his son and all the guilt and anger on him. As a result, his life was in danger, and he would either lead the crowd to rebel or wait to be killed.

"Li Li, Li Li, you have hurt me, Ju Yi, you are driving me to a dead end!" After sorting out the stakes, Ju Yi murmured bitterly.

At this moment, Ju Yi, who knew the truth, was bitter in his heart. It was really miserable, and he didn't even have tears when he wanted to cry!

The most terrible thing is that the more Ju Yi tells the truth about this matter, the more he can't tell clearly, and the more he talks, the more he suspects himself.Because he had already told Yuan Shao what he shouldn't have said; he had done what he shouldn't have done when facing Li Li, and many people could testify.In such a situation, if Yuan Shao did not suspect that he was colluding with Li Li secretly, it would mean that Yuan Shao had something wrong with his mind.

Who wouldn't have guessed that Ju Yi had a problem with such an obvious thing?

There is another point that makes Ju Yi difficult to say, that is, what Li Li said to him, he can only hold back in his heart, as long as he is still working under Yuan Shao's account, he has to keep his mouth shut, and he can't tell anyone, let alone Tell Yuan Shao.Therefore, if Yuan Shao asked Ju Yi and Li Li what they said, and Li Li said something to him to make him leave on the spot, he would be speechless, even if he wanted to make up a convincing lie. easy.Because Li Li's words were only useful to him, Ju Yi, and not to others at all.

Not being able to tell the truth is the most helpless and painful thing for Ju Yi.

If he can't tell the truth, what should he do?

Xiliang Li Li appeared in Jizhou territory, such a horrific incident, can't be concealed and not reported?

Even Ju Yi was lucky in his heart, thinking that if he took the initiative to report the matter to Yuan Shao, he would conceal other discoveries, such as the blood stains in the utility room and Feng Ji's name.In this way, won't Yuan Shao suspect that he and Li Li are colluding secretly?

After making up his mind, Ju Yi immediately went to the backyard alone, ready to report the matter to Yuan Shao.Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked to the dark corner of the wall, he heard Yuan Shao talk about the importance of money and food in troubled times, and then he even talked about what would happen if Li Li got the support of the Zhen Family Consortium. Li Li is very jealous and attaches great importance to the Zhen family.

In an instant, Ju Yi stopped immediately, his mind was in chaos, and the idea he had finally made up with was immediately shaken again.

"What if I can't find Li Li, can't chase back the Zhen family members, and can't find the bodies of Yuan Xi and Feng Ji? Then, am I lying about the military situation and making trouble out of nothing? On the contrary, I am acting like a coward?" Leaning against the corner of the wall In the dark, Ju Yi pondered over and over in his mind, weighed carefully, but still couldn't make up his mind.

At this moment, Ju Yi really wanted to swear at his mother, it was so worrying, it tortured him so much that he wanted to die!

After more than ten years of fighting, he has never hesitated like today. This feeling is too painful!

Chapter 467

"Ju Yi, what are you doing standing in the corner, is there something wrong?"

Just when Ju Yi was tangled in pain, Yuan Shao unknowingly rode up to him, but he didn't realize it.

"Oh!" Ju Yi exclaimed in surprise, his expression a little flustered.

Fortunately, it was night at this time, and he was standing in the dark corner of the wall where the moonlight could not reach, so no one could see his expression clearly.

After taking a deep breath and quickly stabilizing his mind, Ju Yigong said: "My lord, seeing that the lord is in a bad mood at the end, I dare not step forward to disturb the lord. I can only stand in an inconspicuous place to guard the lord, so as not to be disturbed by the young people." Lord's thoughts."

"Well, Ju Yi has worked hard. I ordered the soldiers to camp in the Zhen Mansion tonight, and let people buy some food in the city, so as not to disturb the people. Go quickly." Yuan Shao nodded to Ju Yi calmly.

"No, the last general will take orders!" Ju Yi bowed, then turned and strode away.

However, Yuan Shao, Guo Tu and Yan Liang didn't notice the moment when Ju Yi turned to leave, his body hesitated slightly, his mouth opened slightly as if he wanted to say something, but he still held back and took a deep breath. In one breath, the cheeks were bulging.When he strode away with his back to Yuan Shao and the three of them, he let out a long breath and felt much lighter all over his body.

At this moment, Ju Yi had already made up his mind, he didn't say anything, he didn't care, Quan Dang didn't know anything.Anyway, he had already washed away the blood in the utility room just now, and covered it with a layer of soil in the corner, and the soldiers who found the anomaly before were all his direct descendants that he brought from Xiliang. can be trusted.In this way, even if Feng Ji is still alive to ask him about this in the future, Ju Yi only needs to answer six words: "I don't know, I haven't seen it."It doesn't matter if it's Yuan Shao, if there is no real evidence and no witnesses, who can judge him?

After making this decision, Ju Yi suddenly realized that pretending to be deaf and dumb, pretending not to know anything, was the only way to get rid of the suspicion.Conversely, if he took the initiative to report to Yuan Shao the contents of Fengji's bloody words, he would put himself in a desperate situation, and pretending to be deaf and dumb would allow him to escape from this quagmire.

"Alas!" After getting such a result, Ju Yi stood outside the gate of the backyard and looked at Yuan Shao who was hundreds of steps away under the light.He sighed heavily.

Yuan Shao's suspicion made Ju Yi dare not tell the truth, and Li Li's flawless and subtle calculations made Ju Yi feel miserable, even if he wanted to be loyal to Yuan Shao.Because the price of being loyal is too high, he needs to bet on his wealth and life, and in troubled times, ants can still steal their lives.What's more, he is the general of Jizhou, Ju Yi.

It was also from this moment that there was a complete gap between Ju Yi and Yuan Shao.It is no longer possible to return to the previous relationship of mutual trust between master and minister.

And it was precisely because Ju Yi happened to find the utility room and found the blood written on the ground by Feng Ji.In addition, he had no choice but to deliberately conceal it, which invisibly affected many things and indirectly maintained the current situation in the world.Otherwise, once Yuan Shao goes all out to rob and kill Li Li, the situation in the world will change drastically, and the impact will be far beyond everyone's imagination.The end result may only be known by one.This person is Li Li himself, because if he dies at this time, history is likely to continue its inherent trajectory and roll forward.

Dead of night.The main hall in the backyard of Zhen Mansion.

In this empty hall, the guards tore down some boards from the gatehouse and put them together into more than a dozen desk tables, and brought some soft cushions for Yuan Shao and his subordinates and generals to sit in the hall and discuss important matters.

Sitting on the upper steps of the empty lobby, Yuan Shao looked down at the shabby scene below, and suddenly felt a bad breath in his chest, but he had nowhere to vent it.In the depression, Yuan Shao's face was gloomy, dark clouds covered his eyes, and his eyes were lingering with anger, but he couldn't spread this bad breath on everyone in the hall, and he had to bear it by himself, which made him very uncomfortable.

The Zhen family was really ruthless, and they did so terribly that they moved the huge Zhen mansion to nothing, not even leaving a single complete and useful thing behind.Because of this, even though Yuan Shao and his [-] soldiers lived in the Zhen Mansion compound, they only had a place to shelter from the wind and rain, without any other equipment.So much so that there were not even a few tables and stools for individual cases during the discussions in the lobby, and Yuan Jun had to remove the door panels and make up a few tables and tables temporarily for the lord and adults to use for discussions.

Yuan Shao is a high-ranking person with a very good face, and it is the first time for him to discuss matters in such a shabby lobby.Back then, when he led the troops to the Chenliu Huimeng, he was not as shabby as he is today. He actually tore down a few door panels as a case, collected a pile of rags and old clothes and kneaded them into a ball to make a futon. .

In fact, Yuan Shao could have lived in the county government office or stayed overnight in the houses of other rich households in the city, but he couldn't save his face.Now that she has moved into the Zhen Mansion with great fanfare, she can no longer leave the Zhen Mansion to find another place to stay.Yuan Shao couldn't do such a thing with identity and face, nor was he willing to do it.Therefore, he would rather have a swollen face and pretend to be a fat man to live in the empty Zhen Mansion compound than to lose face and find another house to stay in.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that after Yuan Shao took over Jizhou, he governed leniently and benevolently. Although he could not be called loving the people like a son, he was considered one of the few benevolent princes in troubled times.Therefore, in the eyes of the people of Jizhou, he is still a prefect priest with a good reputation, and he is quite popular.Because of this, people with lofty ideals in Hebei came to join him, which made the Jizhou army stronger and stronger, and there were many civil servants and generals, including many wise men, celebrities and fierce generals.

In the lobby, everyone had a hasty dinner and then formally discussed matters.

Prior to this, Wen Chou and Ju Yi, who were in charge of searching the courtyard of Zhen's Mansion, had already reported the search results to Yuan Shao, and they both said that there was nothing suspicious and found no valuable clues.

"Everyone has seen the current situation of Zhen's mansion. The huge Zhen's mansion has been moved to an empty place, and thousands of Zhen's family members have gone to the empty building. Let's talk about it, what should we do now?" The head of the hall, Yuan Shao The tiger's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a gloomy voice.

Yuan Shao's voice was not loud, but it vibrated and echoed in the empty hall, and every word and sentence was heard clearly in the ears of everyone in the hall.

However, until the echo dissipated, everyone in the hall lowered their heads in thought, and no one answered.

In the hall, Guo Tu and Ju Yi sat opposite each other.At the head of the crowd, two generals Wen Chou and Yan Liang were also present, followed by more than ten generals.

The scene of these dozens of people discussing matters is a relatively rare small-scale discussion in the Jizhou Army, which is why Yuan Shao came to Wuji Zhen's house on a temporary basis.Right now, the Jizhou army is on its way back to Yecheng, and many counselors and generals have followed the army to retreat, otherwise the meeting in the lobby would not be the scale of hundreds of people.

"Cough!" Seeing that everyone was silent, Guo Tu, who was sitting first on the left, coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and said respectfully, "My lord. The two generals, Wen Chou and Ju Yi, have thoroughly searched Zhen's residence before. I checked again and found nothing suspicious. It can be seen that the relocation of the Zhen family was not a hasty move. The family is already in the process of moving. It’s just that the Zhen family has covered it up so well that the Second Young Master and General Ju Yi and others didn’t notice it at all. Afterwards, the Second Young Master sent General Ju Yi back to the barracks to report to the Lord, and when Ju Yi left, Afterwards, the Zhen family attacked the Second Young Master, Feng Ji and the others, and quickly evacuated from Wuji City after succeeding, without their whereabouts missing.
