As soon as Fang Linyan heard it, he knew that Xu Shao should be talking about the will of the mysterious old man.
This old man's identity was probably not ordinary. The Jade Annulus that he carried with him was something that even an ambitious and ruthless person like Cao Cao would be moved.
However, Xu Shao had a pair of divine eyes that could comment on the heroes in the world. Since he promised to help read the will, the effect was definitely not worse than Zhong Di, so Fang Linyan immediately took it out and handed it to Xu Shao respectfully.
When Xu Shao opened the will and looked at it, he immediately praised,
"Good writing! This is an octavo book! "
"In the world, those who can write octavo to this extent are either Liang Hu or Ding Que!"
Fang Linyan leaned over to take a look. To be honest, he didn't see what was so good about this so-called "octavo book"! Xu Shao continued,
"To put it simply, octavo book is the combination of octavo book and octavo book!"
"Nowadays, the person who likes octavo book the most is the prime minister! He will hang Liang Hu's book in the tent or nail it on the wall, and enjoy it from time to time. He thinks that his calligraphy is better than his teacher (Shi Yiguan). Most of the inscriptions in Cao Gong's palace are written by Liang Hu. "
Hearing this, Fang Linyan suddenly realized that it was not the person who wrote the calligraphy who was awesome, but his fans who were awesome!
As the saying goes, whatever the boss likes, the subordinates will be effective. If Old Cao liked someone's wife, his subordinates would of course look for her. If Old Cao liked this octavo book, his subordinates would definitely know more about it. At least they could have a common topic when chatting, right?
At the same time, the reason why Cao Cao liked the jade disc on this old man suddenly became clear. What he liked was not the jade disc, but the inscriptions written in octavo book engraved on the jade disc!!
At this time, Yang Shan had urgently checked the offline information he brought in. It showed that Liang Hu was not only a calligraphy master, but he also lived like a prince and had a high position.
Emperor Ling of Han was a minister and served as the provincial governor of Liangzhou. After the world was in chaos, he felt that Jingzhou was a pure land in the chaotic world, so he came to Liu Biao's rule to be a famous scholar.
After Cao Cao went south to Jingzhou, as a fan, of course, he was very respectful to his idol and treated him as a distinguished guest.
Then, this old man lived a very leisurely life. At the very least, it could be confirmed that after Cao Wei was established, all the big plaques in the palace were inscribed by Liang Gu.
Fang Linyan frowned and thought for a while. The time and place of Liang Gu's appearance in Jingzhou were consistent, but according to the historical track, he lived longer than Cao Cao. How could he be killed by a little maid in Changban Slope (probably)?
Of course, after this group of people entered the world, they had the ability to disturb the power of fate. But what kind of butterfly effect was this that could even involve a high-ranking official like Liang Gu?
Xu Shao pinched his fingers and deduced carefully.
"I've calculated carefully. You should go there about two hours before sunrise (where the corpse was found). You should gain something. However, this opportunity cannot exceed the time of the meal (7-9 AM). Otherwise, it will become nothing."
Fang Linyan nodded and bowed respectfully to thank him,
"Many thanks to Master Xu for enlightening me."
Xu Shao laughed. His sleeves fluttered as he left with the gourd containing Wang Yi's ghost.
"Go away, I can't accept your bow. We don't talk about friendship; we only talk about the deal!"
Fang Linyan cursed in his heart, This old man really has a lot of rules. His words are also incoherent. I just asked you to identify the letter, but he made it seem like we went to participate in the Cadillac Club activities together …
After Xu Shao left, Fang Linyan looked back and saw Sun Zhang, and he asked curiously,
"Why aren't you leaving yet?"
"Don't worry, we said we will let you go! This time we got what we wanted, so we are in a good mood. We are not lying to you! "
At this time, Sun Zhang wanted to say something but hesitated. After a few seconds, he said with some difficulty,
"Can you guys … cut me with a knife? Or you can break one of my legs. "
"Huh?"
Fang Linyan and others looked at each other, really feeling a little unbelievable. There is actually such a request?
Shan Yang said curiously,
"What's the matter with you? Brother Sun, have you misunderstood something? We're just doing things for money. We're definitely not those vicious gangsters who would break someone's leg for no reason, or cut someone a few times with a knife. We would never do something like that."
Sun Zhang sighed and said,
"Forget it, I will tell you the truth. In fact, when I was waiting outside for the fire, I had already received a military order. It said that after 2 hours, we will gather and set off!"
"Although the higher-ups didn't say what they were going to do, it should be a big move. Because in addition to the Jiangdong men of sacrifice, one of my brothers is serving in the Shooting Willow Camp. He will also set off."
The Shooting Willow Camp was the elite archer camp set up in Jiangdong. They were the archers guarding the deck of the ship.
The elite soldiers sent by Sun Quan's side were only a few hundred people brought by Lu Su. At this time, all of them came out. Obviously, there was a big move!
Sun Zhang's request suddenly became clear. He was not late, which was clearly disobeying the military order. There must be a reasonable explanation.
However, all the ordinary soldiers in the same unit had been killed. If he were to return unscathed, most people would think that there was something fishy going on!
After Fang Linyan thought about it, his eyes suddenly lit up. He patted Sun Zhang's shoulder and laughed,
"I was wondering what big deal it is. It turns out to be such a trivial matter. It's really not worth mentioning!"
"Besides, this matter is caused by us, so we are obliged to help you solve this matter!"
After speaking, Fang Linyan and others took the dumbfounded Sun Zhang directly to the distance.
Where is this place? On the battlefield of Changban Slope, the Cao army's power was originally very large. Therefore, after walking for a short distance, Vulture came to report that there were Cao army scouts in front, so they hid.
After avoiding 2 waves of patrolling scouts in a row, the third wave was a combination of 2 cavalries and 2 infantrymen. Fang Linyan and others looked at each other, then they stopped dodging and went up directly.
When this Cao army patrol saw someone appear, of course, they were on high alert. After realizing that it seemed to be their own people, they relaxed a little, but they still shouted,
"Password!"
At this time, of course, Deng Laoshi went to answer.
Then without waiting for the cavalryman to ask, Fang Linyan directly pushed the stunned Sun Zhang up, put the sword on his neck, and said with exultation,
"We are so lucky during this patrol. We actually caught a spy. This guy even ran away with the money!"
At this time, Sun Zhang only felt that his heart was cold. He didn't expect Fang Linyan and others to be so insidious. They actually wanted to take him to receive the reward.
At this time, Fang Linyan deliberately kicked Sun Zhang and scolded,
"If you move again, I will kill you!"
Fang Linyan's kick was very hard, and Sun Zhang was directly kicked to the ground!
When he fell, he didn't know what happened, but a large amount of copper coins and silver coins spilled out from his body. The tinkling sounds made people envious. There were even gold and silver jewelry. Even under the illumination of the fire in the night, they still shone brightly.
Witnessing this scene, the mountain goat immediately screamed and rushed forward to snatch it. Vulture was not willing to fall behind either!
When the 4 patrolling people saw this situation, they didn't doubt it immediately. In fact, there were many suspicious points in this matter, but money moved people's hearts. Even in the 21st century where science and technology were flourishing and information was exploding, scams that directly used RMB as bait had succeeded repeatedly!
This was because such a trap targeted the greed in human nature. If one calmed down after the event, they might be able to see the flaws in it. However, as they were in the middle of the situation, it was difficult for them not to take the bait in the face of other people scrambling to snatch it.
Needless to say, these four unprepared unlucky guys were killed by Fang Linyan and the others like chopping melons and vegetables!
Honest Deng watched from the side with his arms folded. He did not help, nor did he stop them. He maintained a neutral attitude.
Sun Zhang next to him was also dumbfounded. Until Fang Linyan and the other 4 people threw the waist tags and bloody heads of these 4 people in front of him, he said as if waking up from a dream,
"This … what does this mean?"
Fang Linyan said with a smile,
"If you take these 4 heads and 2 warhorses back now, will anyone dare to say anything?"
Only then did Sun Zhang understand that Fang Linyan and the others actually helped his boss!
He disobeyed the military order and didn't arrive. That was a capital offense.
If one person returned safely, and the other four subordinates were all dead, it was very obvious that in a normal person's mind, there would either be 'deserters', 'cowards', or other derogatory words such as' cowards' and so on.
However, if he could get back the 4 heads of the enemy and 2 warhorses, such a splendid military service could naturally suppress all discordant voices! What Sun Zhang could get was only envy, praise, and compliments!
However, no matter how stupid Sun Zhang was at this time, he knew that Fang Linyan and the others would never waste their energy to do this kind of thing in vain. He gritted his teeth and said,
"Everyone, you can kill me if you want, but it's impossible for me to betray His Majesty and be your spy!"
After the goat heard it, he looked strange. He suddenly laughed and said,
"Spy? You think too much. Let me ask you, we even killed Cao Cao's people, who do you think we are working for? "
Sun Zhang was stunned.
Fang Linyan said,
"In fact, I don't want to hide it from you. We do want to use you, but we don't want you to be a spy or anything like that. It's just that our fellow villager, Old Huang, has been captured by your people. We owe him a big favor, so we have to rescue him."
Hearing Fang Linyan's words, Sun Zhang looked a little skeptical.
The goat said,
"Actually, we're helping you because we don't want to be a busybody and have thoughts of killing. If you can tell us the exact location of the prison on the ship, we won't beat around the bush. We'll just save them and leave. It'll be easy and convenient."
"If you don't tell us, we actually admire a loyal person like you and won't make things difficult for you. We just have to trouble you to stay here for a while longer. These two warhorses and four heads will be given to you as a gift to make amends."
"However, now that your main forces have been transferred away, if we board the ships and run around like headless flies, once our identities are exposed, it will either be me who kills you or you who kills me. So, when the time comes, it won't be strange for rivers of blood to flow and corpses to be strewn all over the place. Even to the extent that for the sake of self-preservation, it is possible that a few ships will be burned."
Hearing the goat's words, Sun Zhang's face suddenly looked very ugly, but he didn't know what to say for a while!
Fang Linyan and others looked at each other, then the goat took him to a remote place, took out a medicine and said,
"Sorry to offend you, this medicine is a knockout drug. You will naturally wake up after 2 hours after eating it. You don't have to worry about us lying to you. If we really want to lie to you, we can just kill you directly."
After saying that, the goat directly stuffed the medicine into his mouth.
But Sun Zhang tilted his head, gritted his teeth and said,
"Wait a minute! You really just plan to go up and save people? "
The goat sighed and said,
"Of course! Do you know the taoist who dealt with us just now? Xu Shao, Immortal Xu, the person who was captured has a close relationship with him. If we fail, he will be the one who will do it. "
After Sun Zhang heard this, he sighed and said,
"Okay! I will believe you this time, but you have to promise me that after boarding the ship, if you meet a tall man with a scar on his face with a broken arm, you must be merciful because this is my uncle. He is good at steering the ship, so he was requisitioned to board the ship. "
After hearing this, the goat said,
"Then you'd better tell me in detail what weapon your uncle likes to use, what armor he wears, and what accent he has, so as not to cause trouble."
Hearing what the goat said, Sun Zhang felt a little relieved in his heart, so he told the arrangement of the ship in detail.
In fact, Sun Zhang fell into the trap of the goat unknowingly. What he did originally was to betray intelligence and betray his colleagues and superiors.
But what the goat said made him break through the knot in his heart. He felt that he was saving people! If he didn't cooperate, at least dozens of people would die on the ship. Maybe his uncle who was so kind to him would also die an unnatural death.
Strictly speaking, they had only paid the price of an unimportant captive.
Therefore, Sun Zhang suddenly felt that what he was doing was not betrayal, but redemption!
In this case, of course, Sun Zhang told them everything he knew. Fang Linyan and the others also got enough information. Soon, they walked toward the ship again.
After approaching the ship, everyone found that the ship was brightly lit. A large number of sergeants were filing out. These sergeants seemed to be gathering. Soon, they were led away by several generals.
Obviously, this was the big move that Sun Zhang mentioned before.
Of course, they wouldn't go now, but they waited silently for the others to leave before gathering again.
Sun Zhang thought for a moment. In order to make things more realistic, he simply cut off his own arm. Then, he mounted his horse and galloped away with the two severed heads.
Obviously, the abnormal movement in the middle of the night immediately attracted the attention of others. Of course, the sentries outside the ship stopped him directly, but they quickly let Sun Zhang in.
At this time, Fang Linyan and the others could also see that the defense on the ship was obviously reduced. It should be because they were transferred away. They could even bypass the sentries and easily come to the river.
Crespo suddenly said at this time,
"What if this guy turns around and sells us out? At that time, when we go up, what awaits us will be the enemies who are waiting for us. "
Fang Linyan smiled and said,
"Then he will lose too many things: the battle achievements that he is about to get, the large sum of wealth that Wang Yi gave him before, and we can expose the scandal that he killed his companions and sold his friends for glory in order to survive! And maybe there are acquaintances who died because of him. "
"The goat and I have seen a lot of people. Sun Zhang may be the kind of person who keeps his promise, but he is definitely not the kind of old-fashioned person who is stupid from reading too much. So the probability of something going wrong won't be high."
Crespo asked curiously,
"When did he kill his companions for survival?"
Fang Linyan said faintly,
"If we shout it out like this, do you think more people will believe it or not?"
Crespo originally wanted to say that there were many people who didn't believe it, but after thinking about it carefully, if Sun Zhang really did sell them out, then he would be riding on the crest of his success. If such a scandal was suddenly exposed, then most people would probably believe it …
This was the effect of the evil in human nature. In most cases, this kind of evil could be summed up into 8 words:
They couldn't stand others being better than them. When they subconsciously heard that others were not good, they would be secretly happy.
The most direct way was to look at Weibo.
For the same celebrity, posting a celebratory Weibo or making a fortune, the number of clicks was estimated to be 100,000.
But if this guy suddenly apologized on Weibo, saying dejectedly that he just fell in love with a woman for 17 minutes, but he suddenly realized that the two sides didn't have the same outlook, so he broke up.
It was just that at this time, he found that the phone was broken, so he gave her 3,400 yuan to buy a new phone for him.
But at this time, the people in Chaoyang District misunderstood and reported him … Police uncle is really like this!!
Then it was easy to guess that the number of clicks and reposts of this Weibo was probably 10 times or even 100 times of the previous celebratory Weibo.
Therefore, Crespo realized at this time why Fang Linyan's judgment was rarely wrong. It was because he often took a unique approach and judged the situation from human nature. No wonder he was so accurate!
After a while, Fang Linyan and the others saw a lantern suddenly raised on the second ship. It first swayed to the left three times, then swayed to the right twice. This was the secret signal that they had agreed with Sun Zhang before.
Fang Linyan said it calmly as if everything was in his calculation, but in fact, when he was about to board the ship, he seemed very cautious.
He immediately stopped the others from going into the water. Then, he asked Vulture to send his Shadow Doppelganger to investigate. After confirming that Sun Zhang was not up to any tricks and had set up an ambush, he allowed the group of people to approach the water.
