Chapter 354: The Shadow Left Behind

"A Er, what's going on outside?"

In the room, the lighted lights shook slightly, and the warm yellow light shone on the shadows of people and put down the long chopsticks. A noisy sound came from outside. Then, it gradually became bigger and someone screamed. Jia Xu frowned: "...you go out and have a look."

The noise outside became more and more intense. The old servant named A Er bowed back and turned around and was about to open the door. There was a bang, and the whole door suddenly broke inside and left and right. The lights in the room swayed wildly. The old servant at the door was shocked and took a few steps back. As he stumbled, he shouted: "Who is it?"

"Get out!"

In his shaking vision, Gongsun Zhi, wearing a black robe, appeared in front of the threshold, with no expression on his face. He crossed the threshold, simply put away his wide cuffs, waved his hand to let the servant opposite him go out, and then walked straight into the house.

Behind several cases, the scribe sitting still remained calm when the sudden situation was happening. He glanced at the figure coming in and said in a deep voice: "A Er, go first, bring the door with you."

"Yes...but master..." The old servant hesitated for a moment, and responded respectfully, and walked out quickly after the tall man.

The door leaf gently closed.

Jia Xu calmed down. Although he didn't know Gongsun Zhi, the situation in his mind could probably be confirmed by quickly analyzing it. He raised his head and looked sharp: "You should be Governor Gongsun. You are visiting late at night, I don't know what?" He stood up, shook his cuffs, bowed to the opposite side, and made a welcoming gesture: "...... It's just that Xu came to Xudu for a long journey and was tired. If the Governor refused to abandon him, Xu would come to visit him in person tomorrow, and... "

However, as he spoke, his steps creaked and creaked on the wooden floor on the second floor. He quickly passed by. Gongsun Zhi walked while rolling his cuffs, his eyes staying coldly on the other party. When the words opposite him said the word "Another...", outside the rolled cuffs, his palm suddenly clenched into a fist. The next second, he clenched his fist tightly and aimed at his cheeks that were slowly lifting, revealing a brief shock, and his words turned: "...Governor Gongsun, you..." The fist suddenly hit.



“Uh…”

The thin body suddenly hit a fist, and he couldn't help but stumbled to the side and took half a step toward the side. As soon as he stabilized his body, he magnified his sight. Perhaps he wanted to avoid it subconsciously, but his body slanted, but he was still sluggishly. A huge pain came from the corner of his mouth, as if something had fallen out of his mouth. Jia Xu fell down sideways with blood, pressed his body against several tables, rolling and falling. The plates and bowls and chopsticks on the table table were scattered and knocked over to the ground, making a mess.

"Governor... Is there any misunderstanding..." Jia Xu's hair was a little scattered, with blood hanging on the corner of his mouth, and a tooth was lying quietly not far away with blood. The sudden murder was unpredictable, and the other party's style was even more difficult to understand.

When he spoke hoarse words with painful and trembling voices, Gongsun Zhi did not answer, but his steps did not stop from beginning to end. He walked directly to the scholar who was looking up in a mess on the ground, grabbed the other person's hair, and regardless of Jia Xu's severe screams, he lifted it up and raised his palm, and the fierceness of the slap.

Jia Xu's hair was swaying and staggering, and he staggered out several steps, hitting the bookcase, and a few rolls of bamboo slips fell down, and his injured body fell down along the bookshelf and slumped on the floor. Someone knocked at the door. Gongsun Zhi stepped over the two scattered bamboo slips, bent over and picked them up and threw them back. At this time, the door was pushed open, and the servant had pounced on the back with a stick "ah".

With a bang, bamboo pieces filled with handwriting exploded on the servant's forehead. His body, which had just walked a few steps, fell to the ground and fainted, and his screams also stopped abruptly.

Jia Xu covered the corner of his mouth, raised his gaze with bruises on his face, and the figure who walked towards him was facing the lights. He could not see the other person's expression. He could only hear the sound coming from the shadows, and a big hand reached down at the same time.

"Your name is Jia Xu, right..."

With a punch, the abdomen of the curled body was hit hard. Jia Xu hu hunched his whole body and arched his feet straight on the ground a few times. In the gritted teeth, he still groaned a little painful humming.

In front of him, Gongsun Zhi walked back and forth with his tall figure. After standing still, he opened his eyes slightly and kicked him out.

"...Phantom soldiers are right!"

Bang

Like a drumstick, Jia Xu held his abdomen and pressed against the ground like a cannonball swaying across the foot of the bookshelf. Four or five rolls of bamboo slips slid down on his head again, and his body trembled even more obviously and violently...

...

Stepping on the dispersed bamboo slips.

"You did the counterattack against Chang'an. Guo Si and Li Jue are here with me now..."

Bang

Jia Xu flew over again, and fell heavily toward several tables. He was shocked violently and rolled down. The pain had reached a confusion. He felt his hair tightening suddenly, and his head was lifted unconsciously. In his vision blurred by blood, Gongsun Zhi's face was filled with an indescribable expression. The other party's lips were opened and closed, as if he was talking about writing something. Unfortunately, he couldn't hear clearly after all. A faint voice came out from his throat: "......Don't...Don't hit..."

Gongsun Zhi grabbed the other party's head, then mentioned his face in front of him with a bloody face: "Conspiracy? Bah." He swung his hand, threw Jia Xu away, stretched out his feet to kick down the messy things on the desk one by one. Then he sat down with a golden knife, glanced at the figure on the ground, looked like a dead dog, and looked cold, but spoke in a simple tone.

"Okay, now the fight is over, now is the time to talk about the serious business. If you dare to say no, or hide something..." The blade inserted it on the table, "I will not only kill you, but also kill your family far away in Xiliang. The family must be neatly arranged, right?"

Jia Xu shook his lips slightly and stared at the ground. He came to Xu Du to calculate everything, and he felt a sense of understanding. He even included Gongsun Zhi. In a hurry, the other party killed him directly. Even if there was any conspiracy, he could not get out of the inn. He really couldn't grasp the other party's posture. Will he kill him with a disagreement?

After a moment of silence, he finally spoke: "Governor... if you have anything to say... just ask."

"Is Cao Ang really dead?"

On the ground, the figure nodded, "Return... Report, the governor knew... that day... Xu saw Cao Ang's body... and was cut out without recognition... Among the chaotic soldiers, I also have places that I can't control..."

"... Why did Cao Cao suffer only a little skin injury in Wancheng? Logically speaking, he has no chance to run away in the city. It seems that you, Jia Wenhe, have colluded with others... but are people in Cao's mansion?"

Jia Xu was silent at this time. He did not answer this question. After a moment, Gongsun Zhi stretched out his hand and patted his head slowly and vigorously, "If you don't say it, I understand that silence is the best answer."

The sitting figure on several tables took back his hands and stood up, stepped over the scribe, took a few steps, and turned his back to the other party: "Then the last question, did Zhang Xiu do the plague in Yuzhou?"

The lights shook slightly, and the scholar on the ground stared at the back opposite, terrifyingly silent and bloody faces, occasionally bloody beads condensed from the chin to the tip of the beard, dripping a drop.

"Yes..." The Adam's apple rolled, and he was struggling to issue a syllable that was suppressed to the extreme.

The standing back moved for a moment, Gongsun Zhi turned around and nodded: "I really admire you!" He held the scimitar that had been unsheathed, pretended to be straightened, took a step, and stabbed it on the ground.



"ah"

Jia Xu's voice finally couldn't help but burst out and shouted at this moment... His closed eyes opened, and the blade almost stuck to the wooden board in front of him. The fright and death suddenly approached, made his body numb and stiff and straight.

"I scared you... are you afraid?" Gongsun Zhi cracked his mouth and showed white teeth. He pulled his sword with his backhand, showing a ferocious and terrifying look. After putting away the blade, he stood up straight and crossed the door and left.

Jia Xu opened his mouth slightly for a while before he gasped, staring at the empty door, without blinking, subconsciously, he was still looking at the other party's sudden turn back, and another shock came. After a long time, after the noise and footsteps of people came from the corridor outside, he let out a long sigh.

My body shook, the pain came and I fainted.
