As soon as she heard that the other party was here to pick her up and reunite with her relatives, Xu's mother had an indescribable excitement in her heart, she was already over half a hundred years old, as long as she could reunite with her children and grandchildren, even if she was wronged.At the moment, he pretended to be calm and said: "I have lived half my life with an old and weak body, and I have never seen anything.Now that my temples are gray, I have nothing else to ask for, as long as I can reunite with my children and stay with them until I am old, it is worth the big grievances.Okay, instead of appeasing me, tell me what your plan is or what His Royal Highness King Zhao's plan is. ”Seeing that Mother Xu was so determined, Li Xin took out a medicine from his arms and handed it to the old lady and said, "This is Hualongsan, which is a non-toxic and tasteless poison.However, it is not toxic, and only makes people in suspended animation for a certain period of time, and there is no heartbeat.As long as the old lady takes this medicine and lets herself pretend to be dead, we will use it to bury the old lady in the water and transport it out of the city, and there are our people waiting by the river in a boat, as long as we wait to get on the boat, the old lady can fly away with us and get out of Liu Bei's control. ”Li Xin's words couldn't help but make Xu Mu breathe a sigh of relief, she originally thought that it would be nothing, she was just pretending to be a dead person, which was nothing to herself, and she smiled at the moment and said: "In this way, then I haven't lived twice, one more time than others, that's really enough, I agree with your plan." ”After speaking, Mother Xu was about to take the medicine in Li Xin's hand, but when she saw Li Xin take the medicine back, Mother Xu couldn't help but be stunned and said: "You are" Li Xin quickly explained: "Old lady, you are in good health, if you suddenly fake your death, it will only arouse suspicion."
Therefore, the military advisor meant to let the old lady pretend to be sick these days, and as her condition worsened, she suddenly took this medicine one day and was in a state of suspended animation, so as to avoid the suspicion of others. ”"This plan is really seamless, I will obey your arrangement, and when I wait until tomorrow, I will pretend to be cold at night, and when my condition worsens, I will take the dragon and disperse according to the plan."
After speaking, Xu Mu showed a kind smile.Early the next morning, when the maids brought the cleaning water to wash the old lady, Xu's mother had already gotten up early.With a hint of dry cough, the maids were worried: "Old lady, you were fine yesterday, why did you suddenly cough today, do you want us to find a doctor for you to take a look." ”Mother Xu hurriedly waved her hand and refused: "No, no, it must be that I got up last night and got cold, it's no big deal, just give me a bowl of stewed ginger soup to make up for it later." ”After speaking, he continued to pick up the water and wash it.As the day passed, on the second day, Xu's mother's cough intensified, and there was a trace of blood in it, which caused the maids to worry even more."
Old lady, the phlegm you coughed up is sandwiched with blood, it seems that your condition is getting worse, you really need to ask a doctor, otherwise it will not be good if it is delayed like this."
Seeing Mother Xu like this, those maids were worried in their hearts and said, no matter what, someone explained that they must take good care of the old lady."
No, I hate doctors, I hate the smell of medicine, anyway, my old bones have lived for so many years, it's enough.Now that my children and grandchildren are not around, even if I live well, what is the meaning, sometimes I really want to die when I think about it. ”After Xu Mu finished speaking, she pretended to be annoyed, and blasted all the maids out, without any emotion.The maid hurriedly comforted: "Old lady, we."
We're all here for your good, wouldn't it be nice if you could get back to your health. ”Mother Xu was full of anger and said: "Shut up, now that I am a lot older, my children and grandchildren are not around, what is the point of me living, I, I might as well die."
When I die, don't bury me, I want to be buried in water, I want to be buried in the water, I would rather feed fish than snakes and insects. ”"Old lady."
Seeing Mother Xu so sad, the maids wanted to persuade her, but after seeing the old lady's angry face, they had to leave in a huff.When the maids exited the old lady's room, one of them left straight through the back door and walked towards the Changsha General's Mansion."
Lord Qiyu, that old lady Xu, at the moment, her body is not as good as day by day, and it seems that she can't do it anymore.Today's cough is still bloodshot, and it is estimated that his life will not last long. ”As soon as the maid saw Zhuge Liang, she couldn't help but express her dissatisfaction in her heart."
Old Madam Xu is in good health, why did this situation suddenly occur, could it be that there is something wrong, did you see the old lady coughing up blood with your own eyes" Zhuge Liang couldn't help but ask curiously after hearing the maid's words, but Zhuge Liang did not doubt the maid's words.Because this maid was originally the maid in her lord's mansion, she was just a chess piece specially arranged in order to monitor Xu's mother.The maid swore and said: "Please rest assured, my lordship, I have personally supervised and served the old lady these days, and her every move is within my surveillance, and there will be absolutely no mistakes."
The old lady had only one wish, that is, she did not want to be buried after death, and wanted to be buried in the water. ”Zhuge Liang immediately waved his hand and said, "Okay, I know, you did a good job, go down and receive the reward."
Remember, as long as the old lady is not dead, you must keep an eye on her at all times, and if she is dead, you should find a few laborers to pull her out of the city and throw her into the sea, so as not to let others think that there is no humanity in our army. ”"Thank you, sir."
For Zhuge Liang's other words, the maid didn't listen to them, but she was particularly concerned about the sentence that went down to receive the reward.As a little maid, she never thought about how far she wanted to go, or what step she had climbed to, and being able to receive some more bounties was the best and most practical for a maid who didn't have much willingness.When the maid took the bounty in her hand, she couldn't help but have some small regrets in her heart, if she said that although she hated this old lady Xu, she could earn a lot of silver because of her, which was far more than what she got from the lord.If this old guy dies, then he will not have this benefit, and he is really reluctant to say it.Two days later, Xu Mu and Li Xin saw that the incident had been almost done, and after adding up to each other, Xu Mu took the dragon in her mouth, and it was only a few minutes before Xu Mu stopped breathing.Such a change caught several maids off guard, and someone informed Zhuge Liang of the news, Zhuge Liang was somewhat suspicious, and then ordered Guan Ping to confirm.Guan Ping immediately led a team of people to Xu's mother's house, and after seeing Xu's mother's serene expression, after ensuring that the other party was not breathing, Guan Ping said: "Since the old lady is dead, let's pull it to the back mountain and bury it." ”The maid hurriedly said: "General, the old lady once said before her death that she wanted to be buried in the flood after death, and the military master also agreed, saying that she should not let the people of Changsha be disappointed in our army." ”"Oh yes, in that case, then you can find a few men to pull the old lady's body out of the city and throw it into the water.This amount of money should be enough for you to hire a carriage and a coachman. ”After Guan Ping finished speaking, he threw out a grain of broken silver and threw it into the girl's hand, and then led the people to report to Zhuge Liang.Touching the broken silver in her hand, the maid felt a burst of joy in her heart, thinking in her heart, since the old lady is dead, then she has no interests to gain, and the broken silver here is probably the last contribution of the old lady.She would not be so stupid as to spend money to hire carriages and labor for her, anyway, the old lady took in a beggar a few days ago, and seeing that he was diligent every day, and so filial, she asked him to transport the old lady's body out of the city and throw it into the water, so that she could have a lot of money left.After Guan Ping and his party left, the maid called Li Xin and said, "Hey, that newcomer, the old lady kindly took you in a few days ago, which is considered to be kind to you."
This time, the old lady died of illness, and you will carry her body outside the city and bury it in water.As for the money for hiring the carriage, I think the old lady has given you a lot of benefits these days, and it should be enough. ”The other party's words better responded to Li Xin's thoughts, so he was in his own arms, but the only important thing was whether he could take the old lady out of the city safely.Seeing that the woman in front of her was so familiar with the young general under Liu Bei's command just now, this person must be Liu Bei's secret whistle, so it is better to make good use of it, so she said: "Okay, the old lady has grace and me, I should do this kind of rough work, this sister is really not easy to do these things, but I don't know if this sister can escort us to the city gate."
Otherwise, with a small face, I can't communicate with those guards, and I'm afraid I won't be able to transport the old lady's body out of the city. ”"Hmph, it's really troublesome, I have to let this girl run this trip."
The maid said somewhat reluctantly.Afraid that the other party would refuse, Li Xin hurriedly patted his ass and said: "The little one has no ability, so this kind of thing naturally needs to be done by my sister."
Presumably, with my sister's connections and network, I only need to say hello, and those guards will not stop me. ”As a little maid, she has always been careful in doing things, and this time someone occasionally patted her own horses and offered them to herself, and of course she was very useful when she heard it, and she couldn't help but say: "Okay, okay, I'll let this girl accompany you this time, but first say okay, once I send you out of the city, I won't care."
It's so unsafe outside the city, and this girl's appearance and talent will definitely attract the coveted of those bad people if she goes out like this. ”Li Xin nodded again and again: "This is natural, as long as my sister sends me out of the city, there will be small ones to do other rough work." ”The maid then said, "Okay, you go find a carriage first, put the old lady's body in the carriage, and I will go with you." ”"Yes, I'll go."
After Li Xin finished speaking, he didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly ran out of the house to find the carriage
