A knife in love

Chapter 3526

The gray-clothed old man paused for a moment when he said this, and then continued: "Seven days later, Xu Fu's sons and daughters gathered in the hall. In addition to the Xu family's children, Xu Fu's retainers and trusted generals were also in the hall. Waiting for orders. Xu Fu's eldest daughter saw that all the brothers and sisters were here, first she said some polite words, then suddenly her face changed, she dropped the cup in her hand on the ground, and turned and walked into the inner room. Everyone didn't know what was going on, and they were waiting When I was dumbfounded, suddenly hundreds of warriors rushed in from the inner room and outside the hall, hacking all the people in the hall to death."

When Li Qiufeng heard the old man in gray say this, his heart trembled, his right hand almost touched the handle of the knife at his waist, but as soon as he moved his right hand, he was startled, and hurriedly put his right hand away.

The old man in gray went on to say: "In fact, Xu Fu's eldest daughter is very wise and scheming, and she is also sinister and cunning, cruel and vicious, and she is quite like a father. She has followed Xu Fu since she was a child, and she is also an ambitious person. It's just that she knows that as a woman, she is not valued by Xu Fu, and Xu Fu values ​​authority the most. Once someone wants to get his hands on his power, even parents, wives and children will fall into his hands. Therefore, the eldest daughter can only endure it secretly , pretending to be indifferent, and never participating in the power struggles of the Xu family. This woman is deeply scheming, and she pretends to be very similar. Not only the brothers and sisters think that she has no intention of fighting for power, and they don't take her seriously, even if Xu Fu is insidious and cunning, But she was also deceived.

"When Xu Fu gets old and becomes cruel and tyrannical, the eldest daughter knows that Xu Fu's perverse behavior will not last long, and a catastrophe is at hand. If I don't prepare early, either the retainers will rebel and overthrow the Xu family, or Xu Fu will die. The later children were in conflict, no matter who seized Xu Fu's power, her family's life would be in danger. Therefore, after careful discussion with her husband, she summoned her cronies and dead men who had been supporting them for many years, and asked them to secretly buy off the soldiers, thinking that they had used them. Because She acted extremely cautiously, and did not take the lead in everything, and was only dealt with by cronies and dead soldiers. Therefore, although Xu Fu and her brothers and sisters were all cunning people, no one suspected that she was secretly accumulating troops for great things.

"When the Fifth Young Master turned against Xu Fu, even before the Fifth Young Master entered the main hall where Xu Fu lived, he ordered his subordinates not to leak any news, and after entering the main hall, he closed the four gates of the palace. Xu Fu turned his face. Unexpectedly, his brothers and sisters had already bought Xu Fu's guards and maids, and even the fifth son had his brothers and sisters' eyeliner, so the fifth son led his warriors into the palace, and the sons and daughters of the Xu family knew immediately When she heard the news, she hurriedly summoned her soldiers to rush to the palace where Xu Fu lived. After Xu Fu's eldest daughter heard the news, she was both surprised and happy, and hurriedly discussed with her husband how to deal with the matter. Inadvertently, everything is lost, but the two have already planned a strategy to seize the throne of the city lord, so when they heard that the brothers and sisters led their troops to the palace, the two did not raise their troops immediately, but rushed to the palace together to fight with everyone. The brothers and sisters made peace, and their sons gathered soldiers and horses in the mansion, waiting for the opportunity to move.

"After the eldest daughter rushed to the palace, she acted like a big sister and asked everyone not to kill each other. At that time, everyone only said that the eldest daughter came to make peace, and had no other intentions. They just took advantage of the slope to get off the donkey, so as not to have a hasty fight with the other three. The gang fought in a scuffle, if they had colluded with each other behind the scenes and joined forces to deal with him, they would have suffered a big loss. Because everyone was afraid of each other and didn't want to turn their faces immediately, it was agreed that they would come back to the hall in seven days and elect a new city lord.

"The eldest daughter is extremely cunning, and like Xu Fu, she has developed the ability to read people's hearts. She has already guessed the thoughts of all the brothers and sisters. Seeing everyone lead their soldiers and horses to leave, she pretended to be nonchalant. She returned to her mansion swaggeringly, and everything in the mansion was as usual without any changes. In fact, she knew that there were many eyeliners planted by brothers and sisters in the mansion, so she deliberately pretended to be nonchalant in order to confuse everyone. As expected, all the Xu family The sons and daughters received a secret report from the eyeliner in the eldest daughter's mansion, thinking that the eldest daughter really had no intention of competing for the throne of the city lord, and they no longer had the slightest fear of her, so they discussed how to deal with the other brothers and sisters.

"In fact, over the years, the eldest daughter and his wife have bought many soldiers in the city, but they did not show their faces, but left the matter to their cronies and dead soldiers. When the eldest daughter went to the palace where Xu Fu lived to appease everyone, she Xu Fu's cronies and dead soldiers have already summoned soldiers to wait for her orders. Xu Fu's sons and daughters planned to launch an attack when discussing the election of a new city lord seven days later, but in order not to become the target of public criticism, all the soldiers and horses under his command stayed near the palace and did not As he approached the palace, he entered the palace with only a few personal guards. Unexpectedly, the eldest daughter had already heard from one of Xu Fu's favorite concubines that there was a secret passage in the palace, which led to a monastery seven miles northeast of the palace. Xu Fu dug this secret passage so that when the enemy suddenly attacked and besieged the palace on a large scale, he could secretly escape from the palace and summon his soldiers to cover up the enemy from behind, thus winning a complete victory. In order not to leak the news, the secret passage was built On that day, Xu Fu gathered 370 four craftsmen who had dug the secret way to one place, and only said that he would give everyone money, wine and food to reward them for their work in digging the secret way.

"Nine months ago, these craftsmen were suddenly summoned to one place, and they dug in Xu Fu's palace for nine full months. They could neither return to their homes nor meet their wives and children. They really suffered a lot. Hearing what Xu Fu said at this moment, he was both surprised and delighted. He thought to himself that food and drink came second. If he could get a reward, his wife would be happy to bring it home, and it would be worth spending nine months here. After the silver ingot, more than 300 craftsmen were finally relieved, and happily, they picked up wine bowls and drank, very happy.

"It's just that these craftsmen don't know that it's fake that Xu Fu gave them money, wine and food, and it's true to kill people to silence them. This secret road is the one used by Xu Fu to escape, and it is a top-notch secret. If more than 300 craftsmen are kept alive Leaving, the news of building the secret passage by myself will leak out in all likelihood. If the enemy knows this, how can they not play tricks in the secret passage? Once one day I am surrounded by enemies in the palace and want to escape from the secret passage, The enemy will definitely set up an ambush at the exit of the secret passage, and at that time, he will become a turtle in the urn, and his end will be extremely miserable. Therefore, he has already made up his mind that when the secret passage is completed, none of these craftsmen will be left behind!"
