[Three Kingdoms] Burning incense and sacrificial wine

Earlier, although Gan Ji was coerced by Liu Yao and acted as his internal response, she never directly attacked Cui Song.The reason is that Qiao Ji and Xu Zhuo are not easy to fool, and Cui Song is excellent in both civil and martial arts, and has a clear insight. No matter whether she poisons or fights, she has no possibility of success. Instead, she will expose herself and affect her family; The second is a master-servant relationship, there is some affection, she doesn't want to do too much.And he was lucky, thinking that as long as he didn't directly participate, his cleverness would not be noticed by others.

As a maid who has served Cui Song for many years, Gan Ji is very afraid of this seemingly easy-talking but indifferent lord.But I don't know if it was the reason of "amnesia" from falling off the horse, since the death of Emperor Ling, Cui Song suddenly became gentle and kind.On the one hand, Gan Ji felt guilty and uneasy, but on the other hand, because of her kindness, she started thinking that she shouldn't have.

It was this thought she shouldn't have that made her make a big mistake.

It turns out Cui Song knows everything!She is like a jumping clown, jumping up and down, but she doesn't know that her ugliness has already been fully exposed.And he just watched with cold eyes, didn't say much, and didn't do much to stop him, just like before.

Do not use suspicious people, and do not doubt employing people.Cui Song has always been suspicious of employing people, but he will not trust them too much.

As the master, he can be called benevolent.As long as he didn't cross that line, even if the servant did something wrong and caused a catastrophe, he wouldn't blame him too much.But once he crossed the thunder pool half a step, it was Lei Ting who made a move without mercy, and there was no room for change.

Gan Ji finally felt regretful at this time.She hated herself for being paralyzed by Cui Song's benevolence in recent years, and forgot that he was not easy to mess with.But at this time, remorse is useless. Her family is the Cui family's tenants. While being protected by the Cui family, they are also under the control of the Cui family.If Cui Song returns to the Cui family land and tells the patriarch what happened to her, then her parents and brothers will be completely finished.

Thinking of the consequences, Gan Ji was terrified.Evil thoughts sprouted rapidly under the feed of fear, she thought fiercely: Since there is no way out anyway, then just keep doing nothing and keep Cui Song from returning to the Cui family land.

You must know that the world is turbulent...any "accident" may happen.

Now that she had made up her mind, Gan Ji pulled the tiger's skin to pull the banner, and chatted with the guards.

The guards were flattering because of the "General You"'s protection, and for a while, the two sides had a happy chat.

Gan Ji spoke in a calm manner, got a lot of useful information, and based on the words and deeds of several people, found the target, and asked one of the guards to give her a ride by name.

Under the envious gaze of the rest of the people, she and the guard left the market and came to a deserted alley.

"To be honest," Gan Ji sighed suddenly after confirming that there was no one around, "I was ordered by the grand master to disguise myself and wander around the city in order to set up a situation and test someone's loyalty."

Upon hearing this, the guard decided that this was a great opportunity, and hurriedly said: "Miss, please entrust me, the younger one will do my best."

Gan Ji was quite satisfied with the guard's going on the road, pretending to be happy and said: "I feel at ease with these words."

The guard hurriedly said, not daring to be the one: "Who is it that the Grand Master wants the girl to test?"

Gan Ji deliberately looked left and right, and after confirming that the news would not "leave out", she asked the guards to come forward and whispered a name in his ear.

The guard was startled, with a little hesitation, and lost his original enthusiasm.

Seeing that he was hesitating, Gan Ji looked a little colder, and said with a slight smile, "If you find it difficult, I can find someone else."

Although the guard had some concerns in his heart, when he thought that this woman was the person protected by General You, he must not be suspicious.Even if something goes wrong, General You will take care of it, and he will let go of half of his heart.What's more, there were a lot of witnesses just now, more than a dozen guards saw it, so I'm not afraid that General You will deny it.

The guard returned to his flattering attitude: "No embarrassment, no embarrassment. Girl, don't be upset, the young one happens to have some connections, and he is destined to help the girl achieve this."

At noon, Li Ru returned to the mansion.The servant took the cloak that Li Ru took off, undressed him and poured water for him.After finishing all this, seeing Li Ru sitting and resting, with nothing else to do, the servant became bolder and said with a smile: "Mansion Master, General Hu's mansion sent a beautiful girl, who is beautiful and good at sword dancing. It's at the concierge. Does the Palace Master want to see you last time?"

Li Ru's pressure has increased a lot recently, and he finally has some free time. Hearing that Hu Zhen sent him a beautiful woman, there is no reason why he shouldn't.

"That cunning boy, I've spoken well for him many times." Li Ru scolded with a smile, and asked his servants to bring the dancer girl up.

The servant brought a beautiful woman with her head down, with a slender figure, more heroic than ordinary dancers.Although Li Ru was somewhat disappointed with the woman's appearance, he was also somewhat interested because of her heroic spirit.

"I heard that you can dance swords, show me a dance."

The beauty obeyed.

Because Li Ru had always been cautious and did not allow people in the mansion to carry sharp weapons at will, the dancer took out the scabbard and began to dance.

Li Ru saw that her movements were flowing and smooth, not just putting on airs, and while admiring her, a little vigilance arose in his heart.

As soon as the dance was over, the dancer girl saluted and stood peacefully on the spot without stepping forward.

Li Ru praised: "It's good to combine rigidity and softness. Girl, please stay at the mansion with peace of mind. If there is anything missing, just talk to the housekeeper, don't be restrained."

Li Ru was about to let the woman back down.Unexpectedly, the woman lowered her head in embarrassment, "Master Rong Bing, General Hu has something to tell me."

She peeped left and right, with the intention of retreating from the screen.

Li Ru laughed: "It's okay, these are my loyal servants, if you have anything to say, just say it."

The dancer under the hall is Gan Ji.Seeing that Li Ru seemed elegant but actually tough, she didn't dare to make any more demands, so she whispered: "General Hu knew that the Palace Master and Xi Zhicai didn't agree with each other, so he asked me to tell the Palace Master that Xi Zhicai has a A good old friend, named Cui Song, is in Chang'an City..."

Li Ru looked focused, listened patiently to her, and nodded slowly: "Wen Cai (Hu Zhen) has a heart. I will let the girl be taken to the wing room first. If the servant is not considerate, the girl will tell the housekeeper. No need to shy away."

Gan Ji thanked her, and followed Li Ru's capable servant to the backyard.

The servant guided her all the way and politely introduced to her: "Miss, you can rest assured that you will live here. My master is favored by the grand master, and the mansion is guarded by the grand master's own soldiers, so thieves will not be able to break in..."

Gan Ji was admiring the peony flowers in the garden when the servant suddenly put oil on his feet and ran away quickly.

"...Of course, even if you break in, it's hard to fly."

Just as Gan Ji felt something was wrong, she heard the servant who ran away shout, "Take it down!"

After a while, two armed soldiers suddenly appeared in the garden and surrounded her.

Gan Ji was terrified, and shouted sternly: "You are so bold, I am a member of General Hu Zhen's mansion, and a distinguished guest of Mansion Master Li Ru's, what do you want to do!"

The servant sneered: "The palace master has an order to take down the assassin, regardless of life or death."

These two soldiers were actually serious Xiliang soldiers, their steps were uniform and their shouts were loud.

Frightened and angry, Gan Ji used eighteen martial arts to resist, but she was outnumbered by two fists and had no weapons, so she was quickly captured.

The servant stood a foot away from her: "Who sent you?"

Gan Ji said stubbornly: "I am the dancer from General Hu's residence..."

The servant shouted coldly: "It's nonsense. How could General Hu not know about the relationship between our Palace Master and Mr. Xi?"

Gan Ji was stunned.

"Tell me, who sent you?"

Layers of cold sweat broke out on Gan Ji's forehead.

How come... Could it be that the relationship between Li Ru and Xi Zhicai is not what she thought?But those guards clearly said that the relationship between the two was not on good terms—the two were both Dong Zhuo's highly valued advisers, so they should keep an eye on each other, how could they be on good terms? !

Seeing her delay in answering, the servant gestured with his eyes.The soldiers who approached Gan Ji immediately drew their swords out of their sheaths, and the threat was clear at a glance.

Gan Ji had no choice but to tell the truth: "I am the son of Cui Wen, the former chief minister, and the maid of Qinghe Cui Song..."

The servant said contemptuously: "If it's Cui Song's maid, why does the palace master use Cui Song to restrain Xi Zhicai?"

Gan Ji was dumbfounded.

"It can be seen that you are full of lies..." Just as he was speaking, a curtain boy came running and whispered behind the servant.

The servant said in a deep voice, "Is this what the Palace Master meant?"

The boy nodded.

The servant raised his hand: "Execute on the spot."

Gan Ji's face turned pale, and she said quickly: "I'm telling the truth, I'm really the maidservant of the Cui family of Qinghe clan—"

The sound stopped abruptly.

The servant turned around and left, returning to Li Ru.

Li Ru sat in the side hall, tasting wine leisurely.

He has always cherished his life, knowing that the dancer is good at martial arts, he is not allowed to fight back when she dies, so naturally she will not do something stupid like "confront her".

Hearing the servant's reply "The assassin has been executed", Li Ru sneered:

"Go to Hu's house to send a message to see who sent this woman. Hu Zhen is so stupid that someone took advantage of the gap... Huh, a martial artist is a martial artist."

The servant takes command.

Li Ru drank all the tea in the cup in one gulp, feeling tired in his heart.

He believed that this matter had nothing to do with Hu Zhen, but he inevitably had a grudge against Hu Zhen.

Today, a woman with ulterior motives came to his house in the name of Hu's family to provoke him. Could it be that someday, an assassin who wanted to see nothing would use the name of Hu's family to take his life?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling a little bit annoyed at Hu Zhen.

He asked Xi Zhicai to come to the mansion, and told Xi Zhicai the ins and outs.

"...that woman kept claiming that she was Cui Song's maidservant, but she came to provoke you and me, and hinted that I would imprison that Cui Song...not to mention that Cui Song is a famous scholar in Qinghe, who was famous in the Grand Master's house. Regarding the relationship between you and me, how could I do such a thing? In extreme anger, I killed people on the spot. "

After the "poisoning incident", Li Ru felt embarrassed every time he saw Xi Zhicai.He is determined to repair his relationship with Xi Zhicai, and his words are not so much a consultation as a gesture of goodwill.

"Look, you and I are more in love with each other than gold, and I will take the initiative to help you kill people and finish it off for you"... similar to this kind of meaning.

Xi Zhicai did not expect that his righteous action against Gan Ji would almost bring disaster to Cui Song.He originally had good intentions and asked You Yi to come forward to make a rescue because he recognized Cui Song's maidservant. Unexpectedly, the other party also noticed him and used the rescue to try to frame Cui Song.

When he heard the news that Li Ru had killed Gan Ji, Xi Zhicai couldn't help frowning.

There is no proof of death, which makes him a little irritable, but he has to accept Li Ru's love.

After leaving Li Ru's mansion, Xi Zhicai immediately went to Taishi's mansion and secretly contacted Diao Chan.

That afternoon, Diao Chan approached Cui Song.
