Chapter 0126 Borrowing a knife to kill

As autumn comes, as the Goguryeo War ends, the scorching sun gradually fades away, the weather becomes clear and cool, and the streets of Luoyang become lively again. At noon that day, there are crowds of people in the Nanshi City, shoulder to shoulder, and extremely noisy, and you can see people carrying loads and ox carts loaded with goods everywhere.⊙,

A few people walked around the corner of the mule and horse robe. There were five or six burly and tall servants surrounded by a thin man. The man was about thirty years old, with pale skin, slender eyes, a swollen face, and a sleepy face. It was Yuwen Shu's eldest son Yu Wenshu.

Although Yu Wenhua and his father did not complete the task in the grassland, they were not scolded by their father. Yu Wenshu just asked him to reflect on himself, where he did not do as good as Zhang Xuan, and why did Zhang Xuan succeed but he ended in failure?

After only two days of reflection, Yu Wenyu returned to his former elegance and began to join the ranks of seeking flowers and willows, and promoted Huang Dieer, a famous prostitute in Luoyang, and put his father Dundu's teachings behind his mind. Yu Wenshu was angry, but he had no choice but to change his discipline method and find something for Yu Wenyu and to do.

The stench in the mule and horse stairs made Yu Wenhua unbearable. He pinched his nose and scolded: "Are you blind? Look for it quickly!"

The servants looked around, and Xu Yin, a staff member who accompanied Yu Wenji, shook his head secretly. He could feel Yu Wenji's reluctance. The old general talked with him all morning, but he still had no idea. Yu Wenji was really a stubborn fool.

Xu Yin is from Yong County, Guanzhong. He was born in a wealthy family. He was known as a child prodigy since childhood. He was very talented. He participated in the imperial examination ten years ago and was the top ten in the top ten. However, because he was short and not good-looking, he was disliked by the Ministry of Personnel. He was a candidate for three years but never had the chance to enter the officialdom, which made him disheartened.

At this moment, someone introduced him to General Yuwen Shu, and since then he became Yuwen Shu's aide and gradually trusted by Yuwen Shu. He eventually became Yuwen Shu's military advisor and counselor.

Xu Yin knew the goal of their trip. He pointed to the mule and horse business in front of him, "It's that one!"

Yu Wen and his spirit were revived and walked quickly towards the mule and horse. The sign read "Thousand Miles of Mule and Horse Walk", but there were only a few skinny mules in the livestock circle in front of the shop, and there was no shadow of the horse. No wonder the business was light, but there was a sign at the door that said "Purchase horses at a high price".

Yu Wenhua frowned. It turned out that this mule and horse store only bought but not sold. No wonder the business was very bad. At this time, a guy ran out of the shop and asked with a smile on his face, "Are you going to sell horses?"

"I have something to ask your shopkeeper to come out and see me!" Yu Wenhua and his tone were arrogant and looked disdainful.

The guy was stunned for a moment. He shook his head and said, "My shopkeeper is not in Luoyang, please come again another day!"

Yu Wenji's arrogance made Xu Yin sigh in his heart. He quickly took out a prayer post and handed it to the client, "This is our post!"

The guy took the post and looked at it, was startled, and quickly bowed and bowed, "Someone, wait. I'll report to the shopkeeper!"

He turned around and ran to the store, and Yu Wengji whispered, "Aren't you not here? You're here again, I'm shameless!"

"Young master, why bother with a servant?" Xu Yin reminded him.

Yu Wenhe was silent. The reason why he was reluctant was not that he really didn't understand anything, but that he was not ashamed of the background of this store. The store opened by the gangsters and thieves actually made him come to visit him. He really didn't understand why his father wanted to deal with these gangsters?

At this time, the guy ran out and smiled and said, "My shopkeeper is welcome to you!"

Yu Wenji was furious. He was about to have anger, but Xu Yin pulled him and suggested that he should hold it back. Yu Wenji thought that his father had something to ask for, so he had to hold back his anger and turned around to instruct his subordinates, "You are waiting outside!"

Yu Wen and Xu Yin followed the friend through a dark and narrow aisle and came to a small courtyard. Xu Yin took the opportunity to whisper to Yu Wen and said, "Young Master, don't talk, I will deal with everything!"

Yu Wenji snorted softly, but he couldn't ask for anything. The guy pushed open a door and bowed to smile and said, "Please, please!"

The two walked into the room one by one. The room was filled with all kinds of debris, which were messy. There were more than thirty saddles of all kinds, piled up in the corner of the wall. There was a table among the debris. The table seemed to have just been sorted out, and all the messy paper, pens and inkstones were swept to the ground by him.

Behind the table was a man in his thirties, with his hair wrapped in blue linen veil on his head. His beard was as messy as the room. He stared at a pair of red-skinned eyes and a fleshy face, like a shopkeeper who runs a black shop.

"What's wrong with you?"

His eyes widened, his eyes full of vigilance. This was an extremely rude behavior. No matter how arrogant the shopkeeper was, he would stand up and say hello, as if there were his two friends opposite him, and it seemed that he did not realize his rudeness at all.

Xu Yin hid behind her and waved her hand to Yu Wenji quietly, meaning that he would not get angry. This was a rough man and did not understand etiquette. Yu Wenji snorted coldly and turned around and walked outward.

When he walked into the yard, Yu Wenhua breathed a long sigh. His father was crazy and wanted to deal with such a person. He didn't wait for Xu Yin to pull his feet and left.

In the room, the man said with an unhappy face: "Is Mr. Yuwen so rude?"

Xu Yin had a little embarrassed face, so he had to laugh dryly and explained: "General Yuwen does not allow him to participate in this matter, but just let him see it. I just reminded him that he can leave."

"He is in a hurry to go to Baihualou to support that yellow butterfly!" The shopkeeper grinned and laughed loudly, revealing his big yellow teeth.

Xu Yin was very annoyed, but he had no choice but to tell the truth, this eldest son Yuwen! He is almost forty years old, when will he understand something?

This time, the old general had to surrender his return to the Turkic bandits to cooperate with the bandits, but he did not appreciate it at all. Xu Yin felt an indescribable disappointment in his heart.

"Mr. Xu has something to come to me?" The shopkeeper no longer mentioned Yu Culture and asked directly.

"My master wants to do business with your leader."

"Has General Yuwen also changed his career to open a store?" The bearded shopkeeper teased and laughed loudly.

Xu Yin was silent. He was extremely dissatisfied with the other party's rudeness. The shopkeeper did not receive a response, so he had to put away his teasing thoughts and asked, "What business do you want to do?"

Xu Yin whispered to him a few words, and the shopkeeper frowned, "That man is just a little general. What are the dignified generals scruples with him?"

"Don't ask too much about things that have nothing to do with you. I'll just ask you, do you do it or not?"

"What are the conditions?" the shopkeeper asked directly.

"Two hundred war horses. Pay half first, and pay half after the matter is done!"

The shopkeeper was moved. Their leader was eager to establish cavalry, and his desire for war horses was so crazy that he asked himself to open a shop in Luoyang to collect horses. Unfortunately, he had collected a lot of horses, but there was no real war horse, which made it a little difficult for him to explain. Now Xu Yin has put forward the conditions for two hundred war horses. How could he not be moved?

He pondered for a moment, "I can't make the decision on this matter, I want to report it to the leader first."

Xu Yin said coldly: "Time is no longer waiting for anyone, and my master is not used to bargaining with others. You must also tell your leader clearly about this."

"I understand this, and I will give you an answer in three days at the latest."

"Okay, I'll come back in three days!"

Xu Yin stood up and bowed, turned around and left quickly. The shopkeeper was stunned for a while, and suddenly he hurriedly took out the paper and pen to write an eagle letter.

In the study, Yuwen Shu was half lying on the soft couch, and two little maids knelt behind him and gently tapped him on the shoulders. He said slowly: "I increasingly believe that this person's existence is a threat to me. In less than a year, he has completed the journey of other generals for ten years. If this continues, he may be replacing me in another two or three years."

Xu Yin stood by with his hands hanging down, looking so thin, not even tall and so small. He was completely shrouded in Yuwen Shu's aura. He smiled and said, "The General is too exaggerated. He can only become General Yingyanglang in the end. Without sufficient qualifications, it will be difficult to reach the general, let alone the general."

"I'm just talking, the key is that he knows too much."

Yuwen Shu's words stopped abruptly. He turned around and glanced at the two little maids, "You guys go back!"

The two little maids quickly got up and retreated. Yuwen Shu continued, "I am old and may not be a few years old. I know very well the hatred he has towards me. If he is not dealt with earlier, my three sons will die in his hands sooner or later. Mr. Xu, you should know this very well."

"Why didn't the old general directly arrest him and kill him with military law, wouldn't it be faster and more convenient?" Xu Yin asked in confusion. He couldn't figure out this little thing, and Yuwen Shu actually wanted to borrow the hands of the bandits.

Yuwen Shu was silent for a long time and sighed in a low voice: "I don't want to kill him directly? If it were an ordinary general, I would have taken action long ago, but he is the King of Yan. I heard that the emperor is preparing to train him to become the king of Yan, so that I can be afraid of it! Killing him will only lay the risk of killing my son and family in the future. If you use someone else to kill him, you can clear my relationship."

"It turns out that the old general is worried about the three young men!"

"Of course I'm worried about them. My three sons are not very good at it, and the sir should know."

Xu Yin sighed in his heart. How could he not know? Yu Wenji is extremely romantic, Yu Wenzhi is irritable and simple-minded, Yu Wenshi is a little better, but is relatively cowardly, Yu Wenshu has a hero for a lifetime, but he has three such useless sons.

"The old general, there is something I don't know whether to say or not!"

"You have been with me for so many years, are there anything else you can't say?" Yuwen Shu said a little unhappy.

Xu Yin hesitated and whispered: "I actually want to talk about the eldest son. The old general should discipline him more!"

"What's wrong with him?"

Xu Yin said what happened today, and finally said helplessly: "The eldest son's pursuit of famous prostitutes has spread to everyone in the city. Bei Zhi is very worried about his reputation. If he wants to do great things in the future, such a reputation will not attract real talented people."

Yuwen Shu was furious and slapped the table hard and said, "Come!"

Two guards ran in immediately, and Yuwen Shu said furiously: "Go and catch the eldest son back. If he dares to resist, cut off his head for me!"

Yuwen Shu was so angry that he was so angry that he coughed violently, and he vomited a mouthful of blood, and his eyes were dizzy, which scared Xu Yin quickly supported him, "Don't worry, the old general! Don't worry!"

Yuwen Shu slowly came to his senses, waved his hand to the guard, and said with great difficulty: "Go quickly!"

The two guards hesitated for a moment and turned around and ran out. Yuwen Shu sighed a long time and said heartbrokenly to Xu Yin: "I no longer care about the grassland affairs. He didn't want to repent and began to become ridiculous again. What kind of evil did I, Yuwen Shu, have given birth to such a foolish and lewd son?"

Xu Yin's heart was also cold. Yu Wen Shu actually vomited blood. How long can he live? Xu Yin had to worry about his future.

Xu Yin's family is near the West City, and he lives in a small house covering an area of ​​two acres with his wife, children and parents. There are also several servants in the family. Although they are not wealthy families, they are also wealthy families.

Xu Yin had to return home almost every day when night fell, and today was no exception. He seemed a little worried, and Yuwen Shu actually vomited blood, which really made Xu Yin deeply worried.

If Yuwen Shu passed away, wouldn’t he continue to serve the Yuwen brothers? But I thought that Yu Wenji was so unbearable, what would happen if he followed him?

"Dad is back!"

A **-year-old girl jumped out of the gate and pulled Xu Yin's arm. This was Xu Yin's favorite little daughter.

Xu Yin touched his daughter's head and smiled, "Did you make my mother angry again and come to ask for protection from her father?"

"No? There are guests waiting for Daddy. They have been waiting for Daddy for a long time, so my grandfather asked me to watch Daddy at the door."

Xu Yin was stunned. Who is coming to find him? He hurriedly walked into the yard. His wife Wang came out, pointed to the guest hall, and whispered: "I have been waiting for almost half an hour."

Xu Yin nodded and walked into the living room quickly. He saw a man sitting on the couch and drinking tea slowly, not seemingly in a hurry.

"My brother, right?"

"Is it Mr. Xu?" the man stood up and asked with a smile.

"I am, you are." Xu Yin looked at the guest in confusion. He didn't know this person at all.

"I am just a letter sender. I will send a letter to Mr. Xu on the order of my master. I must hand it over to Mr. Xu himself."

The middle-aged man took out a letter from his arms, presented it to Xu Yin with both hands, and smiled and said, "If sir has time tonight, my master wants to meet sir."
