Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 355: Fencing Master Shi A
Yuan Shao saw that Tian Feng and Xu You had stopped arguing, and finally he calmed down. He looked at Guo Tu and said, "Gong Ze, you have a gentle temperament."

"I'm sorry to trouble you to take care of me during this expedition to Xuzhou."

Taking off his sword and handing it to Guo Tu, Yuan Shao said, "I am giving you this personal sword. Seeing the sword is like seeing a real person."

"If Bocheng is unable to do the job, you will hold the sword and take charge."

Guo Tu felt relieved.

To be honest, he was a little afraid of Zhang Sui.

Especially on the day when Yuan Shang rebelled, this kid was a real tiger.

Wearing armor and leading the charge into the enemy camp, Guo Tu was so brave that he was really afraid that Zhang Sui would use a weapon on his head one day.

Especially the scene of beheading Chunyu Qiong, which made him feel cold all over.

Now that he has Yuan Shao's sword in his hand, no matter how fierce this kid is, he will be more restrained.

Guo Tu quickly stepped forward, took the sword, expressed his gratitude, and glanced at Xu You who was still looking smug at the side.

This old fellow, relying on the fact that he is a childhood friend of Yuan Shao, has been acting recklessly.

He was really not afraid that Zhang Sui would suddenly kill him!
That's it.

This kind of people are always unscrupulous and always have bad luck.

When Yuan Shao saw Guo Tu take the sword, he signaled everyone to leave.

He had been feeling unwell these days, and had been in a bad mood due to the murder of his third son.

I feel better now.

At least, there is a new member in the family.

Although he now dislikes his son-in-law Zhang Sui.

However, it is a fact that my daughter gave birth to a grandson.

There hasn't been a new member in the family for a long time.

Ju Su watched Yuan Shao leave, then called on Tian Feng to follow.

The two men did not go back, but came to the depths of the government office, which was Ju Su's workplace.

Ju Su was the first strategist under Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao recruited him in the early days and reserved a room for him deep in the government office in order to win his heart.

The two men sat down, and Ju Shou poured Tian Feng a cup of hot tea before saying, "Both Guo Tu and Xu You are not good people."

"This time, the lord has decided to send you, Yuan Hao, and the others to assist Bo Cheng in the expedition to Xuzhou. This is a dangerous matter."

"My lord always likes to find the so-called balance."

"But now Bocheng has turned against us and is no longer trying to hide it. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is close to us. I'm afraid these two will cause trouble during the expedition."

Tian Feng was originally angry because of Xu You, but now he frowned and said, "This kid has always been steady. This time the general has gone too far."

"Now they have appointed people like Guo Tu and Xu You as military advisors."

"These two are not afraid of me."

"I'm really a little worried that something might go wrong during this expedition to Xuzhou."

"If Bocheng gets angry and kills them, then even if he is the general's son-in-law, he will be blamed."

"Now that Hebei is about to be unified, various forces are ready to make a move."

"If this really happened, I'm afraid they would all want that kid Bocheng to do meritorious service."

Ju Su let out a breath and clapped his hands.

Deep in the room, in the darkness, a middle-aged man wearing a linen robe and with an unusually long sword hanging around his waist walked out.

The middle-aged man looked to be in his thirties, with a ferocious look on his face.

On the left eye, there is a scar that runs from the hairline through the eyelid and extends to the jaw, which looks horrifying.

Tian Feng stood up subconsciously and put his right hand on the hilt of his sword.

He didn't even notice there was such a person in the room!

However, he quickly came to his senses, slowly loosened his grip on the hilt of his sword, saluted the middle-aged man, and said, "Who is this warrior?"

Ju Su whispered, "His name is Shi A, from Henan. I was selected as a talented person in my early years and served as an official in Luoyang. I met him by chance."

"Over the years, he has been working hard on fencing, and I have kept him as a guest in my mansion." "I originally wanted to recommend him to serve under the lord, but he refused."

"During the Third Young Master's Rebellion, he hid in the dark and saw Bo Cheng and his men fighting. He felt that Bo Cheng had great talent as a commander."

"I also heard about what Bo Cheng did in Zhongshan County."

"Therefore, he volunteered to serve under Bo Cheng as a junior commander."

"I feel that his talent is wasted, so I let him meet you."

Only then did Shi A clasp his fists towards Tian Feng.

Ju Shou glanced at Shi A, then looked at Tian Feng and said, "Shi Gong's swordsmanship is extraordinary, and he is also good at hiding his body. Yuan Hao, you should keep him by your side."

"This time, let Shi Gong follow you as a guard so that he can better investigate Xu You and Guo Tu."

"Xu You is a nuisance, he cannot stay here for long."

"He has been hiding in Ye City before. It is difficult for me to take action under the Lord's nose."

"You also know that the Lord has been fed up with us Hebei people for a long time. As the leader of Hebei people, I cannot cause trouble and can only endure it."

"Fortunately, the Lord dared to let Xu You leave Yecheng this time. This is a great blessing."

"He went to Xuzhou and he must have made friends with the Xuzhou nobles."

"I asked Mr. Shi to investigate his corruption. If he can be found to have colluded with foreign enemies—"

Ju Su narrowed his eyes and said, "Sometimes there is none, but sometimes there is."

"When the time comes, we can take advantage of the chaos to kill him."

"But it can't be Bocheng's people who did it."

"Follow the example of the Third Young Master."

When Tian Feng heard what Ju Shou said, he raised his beard and laughed, "Gong Yu, behind your harmless appearance, there is blood all over the place."

Ju Su heard what Tian Feng said, and sighed, "I have done this with great effort, okay?"

"Xu You was not only on good terms with his lord, but also with Cao Cao."

"My lord, you will have to face Cao Cao sooner or later."

"Xu You knows too many secrets of Hebei."

"This person is ignorant of honor and behaves recklessly."

"If Hebei is in trouble, can you imagine what he will do?"

“Nip problems before they happen.”

Tian Feng nodded.

Ju Shou looked at Shi Adao again and said, "In addition to these, we also need to investigate Guo Tu."

"We need definite evidence."

"I used to tolerate them as much as I could."

"Now, the Imperial Seal is such a big deal, and they know clearly that the Lord cannot have it, but they still want to go against us. We should eliminate as many people who do not care about the overall situation as possible!"

At this point, Ju Shou shook his head and sighed, "If the lord finds out about this, I don't know how to deal with it. This behavior is definitely overstepping one's authority. The lord is narrow-minded and will never tolerate it."

"It's a pity that the lord himself can't tell right from wrong."

"As a subject——"

Tian Feng sneered and said, "This is unfair to him. He knows it."

"But I feel more and more that he cannot be the most powerful official."

"Because his power game is too childish."

"Perhaps he was pampered and trained to be politically savvy since he was young, so he always insisted on maintaining a balance and not letting one party dominate."

“So he would rather give up something.”

"Otherwise, he wouldn't have handed over the expedition to Xuzhou to Bo Cheng just because we persuaded him today."

At this point, Tian Feng and Ju Su sighed together.
