"Crown Prince, after Lu Bu was invited by Gao Sheng to go out of the city to hunt, Song Xian was collecting his troops and closing the city gate." Gu Cheng stood beside Ye Zheng's mansion and bowed.

Why is Gu Cheng here?

How could Ye Zhao not know who Lu Bu is under his command? Since Lu Bu took root in Nanyang, Gao Sheng has been loyal to Lu Bu and has been obsessed with many orders sent by Ye Zhao. How could Ye Zhao not know about the ambiguity between Gao Sheng and Cao Cao, and Lu Bu defected to Ye Zhao, Gao Sheng is probably the first to refuse to agree. Gao Sheng has established many connections under Lu Bu's command over the years with his shameless and observing his expression.

It is hard to say whether these people really reject Ye Zhao. But as Lu Bu's team, the two families will form an alliance in the future. In order to avoid Lu Bu's unnecessary thoughts, there is naturally a need to clean up. Ye Zhao is now mainly focused on Cao Cao's side and has no time to take care of Nanyang. Therefore, Gu Cheng's first-class army, which has investigated intelligence, assassination, and battles, was sent to Ye Zheng for Ye Zheng. As for how to do it, he didn't care much. Ye Zheng now has the ability to stand on his own regardless of his wisdom or martial arts. At this time, Ye Zhao only needs to support him without too much intervention. With Gu Cheng's team, even if Ye Zheng fails in the end, it will be enough to protect Ye Zheng from retreating.

"It seems that those who reject my father in Nanyang should jump out this time. What's going on with Gao Shun?" Ye Zheng sneered and asked.

"Wei Ji's men crossed Niryang and were ambushed here silently. At present, it is certain that Cheng Lian and Song Xian have turned against each other. In addition, Gao Sheng and Wei Ji have almost all come out." Gu Cheng bowed.

"Gaosheng?" Ye Zheng stood up and smiled, "My father said it well. As long as the seemingly incompetent people are put in the right place, they can also play an important role. Gaosheng is indeed easy to use. There is no need for us to do anything, so we have already arranged to help us weaken my father-in-law."

Gu Cheng didn't say anything, just bowed and stood solemnly.

"Where is Gao Shun now?" Ye Zheng looked at Gu Cheng and asked.

"Responsible for the garrison of the General Cavalry." Gu Cheng bowed.

"Take me to see him!" Ye Zheng walked straight out.

Ye Zheng's mansion was arranged near Lu Bu's General's Mansion. On the one hand, it was shown to be close, but on the other hand, it also meant to monitor. The psychological shadow that Ye Zhao brought to Lu Bu was obviously still there. As long as the marriage did not come true for a day, Lu Bu would obviously not relax his vigilance towards Ye Zhao.

The soldiers guarding the gate stopped Ye Zheng: "Criminal, the lord goes out of the city to hunt and has not returned yet. According to the rules, it is not convenient for the prince to meet the female family in the mansion."

"I know, please inform General Gao that there are important military information to discuss with you." Ye Zheng said with a polite manner.

"Please wait!" The gatekeeper nodded. Gao Shun was now appointed by Lu Bu to be in charge of the General's Mansion. He had some idle meaning, but it was also a kind of trust. If Ye Zheng wanted to see Lu Lingqi or his wife at this moment, they could not let him go, but if he only saw Gao Shun, there would be no problem.

Soon, Gao Shun came over with two guards. When he saw Ye Zheng, he politely said, "I have seen the prince."

"General Gao doesn't have to be too polite." Ye Zheng replied with his fists: "It's urgent, can the general speak with one step?"

Gao Shun looked around and nodded, "Prince, please follow me!"

He took Ye Zheng to a place similar to a gatehouse. Ye Zheng asked Gu Cheng to stay outside the door and no one was allowed to get close to him.

"What did the prince tell me?" Gao Shun looked at Ye Zheng and frowned.

"If I say that Song Xian is rebelling, will the general believe it?" Ye Zheng looked at Gao Shun and said with a stern look.

"Does the prince have a certificate?" Gao Shun frowned. Did Ye Zheng start to interfere in Nanyang military affairs before he became Lu Bu's son-in-law?

"As far as I know, Mr. Wen was invited by Gao Sheng to leave the city today, but after leaving the city, Song Xian quickly closed the city gate." Ye Zheng said.

"Maybe the lord has an explanation." Gao Shun was also a little confused when he heard this. What city gate should be closed in broad daylight?

Ye Zheng took a deep breath and said, "I know that Nanyang's military and political affairs should not interfere. However, the safety of Mr. Wen is related to the success or failure of your and my alliance. Please forgive Zheng's usurpation. Can General Gao go with me to confirm it? After all, this matter is too strange. Marquis Wen wants to go out to hunt, so why do you want someone to close the city gate? If you are really worried, Zheng is willing to apologize to General Song Xian."

"Okay!" Gao Shun nodded when he heard this. There was something strange about this. He ordered the deputy general to guard the general's mansion and took two teams of soldiers out and went to the direction of the city tower with Ye Zheng.

...

Song Xian was a little nervous. Lu Bu's years of prestige in his heart made him instinctively resist Lu Bu, but he had to do what Gao Sheng said. God knows how he had the evidence that he had secretly communicated with Li Jue in his hands. Although it was all old Huangsheng, if it weren't for him, Lu Bu wouldn't have fled in a hurry from Chang'an. It was definitely the most embarrassing time in Lu Bu's battle career.

If he is stabbed to Lu Bu, with Song Xian’s understanding of Lu Bu, even if he does not die, he will have to destroy himself.

So, he had no choice but to cooperate with Gao Sheng. When he came down to report Gao Shun to come, Song Xian was really shocked and wanted to avoid it, but Gao Shun had already arrived.

Although Gao Shun's official position was under him, Gao Shun's position was very special under Lu Bu's tent. Lu Bu didn't like Gao Shun, but he trusted the most. Many times, Gao Shun had the right to make decisions at the moment, which was not even the earliest generals who followed Lu Bu. Moreover, in the army, Gao Shun's prestige was second only to Lu Bu. If Lu Bu was not there, Gao Shun wanted to force him up, but there were not many soldiers in the army who dared to stop him.

Song Xian had not yet officially broken up. In name, he was still Lu Bu's general, and the soldiers in the army were also Lu Bu's soldiers. Gao Shun was coming, so he couldn't stop him.

"How could Brother Gao have free time to come to me?" Song Xian looked at Gao Shun and Ye Zheng, with a stiff smile on his face.

"The last general is just a little confused and wants to ask General Song!" Gao Shun interfered with Song Xian, without saying much, and asked directly: "The lord went out of the city to hunt, but the general then closed the four doors, but why?"

"This is...this is the order of the lord. In order to prevent someone from stinging the city during the lord's departure, a stingy attack on the city, so..." Song Xian stuttered a little. He didn't expect Gao Shun to come at this time.

Sneak ~

Beside Gao Shun, Ye Zheng looked at Song Xian with some amusement: "General Song, do you believe this reason?"

When Song Xian heard this, his face turned dark and he looked at Ye Zheng fiercely: "What does the prince mean? You have not become the son-in-law of the lord yet. You can't interfere in the affairs of Nanyang."

"There is no need to intervene." Ye Zhao said calmly: "The death is a big deal. It is related to the safety of Marquis Wen and the friendship between Marquis Wen and his father. I want to make sure, General Song, you are blocking the city now. Whether it is a precaution or a robber, you should have a warrant or official document from Marquis Wen? I wonder if General Song can show it?"

Although Song Xian was responsible for the city garrison and inspection, he was so mobilized to block the city, how could Lu Bu not issue official documents or command arrows?

Song Xian subconsciously held the sword tightly and looked at Ye Zheng.

Ye Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly. At this moment, a close confidant Song Xian next to him suddenly roared: "Bastard, I, Nanyang Military Affairs, when will it be your turn to take charge of it? Die!"

This person is a relative of Song Xian, named Song Jie, and his martial arts are not bad. However, he knew what Song Xian was going to do today. Seeing Ye Zheng pressing against each other, Gao Shun's eyes gradually became cold and harsh. He knew that if he continued like this, he would not say anything else, Song Xian's aura would be suppressed first.

He immediately drew his sword and slashed at Ye Zheng. Gao Shun was not only powerful in his military power, but also had one of the best generals under Lu Bu's command. He asked himself that he was not his opponent, so he naturally picked soft persimmons to pinch them.

Ye Zhao turned slightly, then grabbed the other party's wrist. Song Jie felt his wrist numb, but the sword had already fallen into Ye Zheng's hand. Without waiting for him to be shocked, Ye Zheng stabbed the sword into his chest with a backhanded sword.

"You..." Song Jie looked at Ye Zheng in shock. It was hard to imagine that a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old had such skills.

"Bold!" Seeing this, Song Xian's eyes lit up and he shouted sternly: "Take this person down for me."

"Who dares!" Gao Shun snorted coldly, his tiger eyes swept across the soldiers around him. The soldiers who were originally trying to rush up were swept up by Gao Shun's eyes, and his momentum suddenly stopped and he did not dare to move forward.

"Gao Shun, you..." Seeing this, Song Xian was anxious and looked at Gao Shun and wanted to draw his sword, but he was facing him with an exquisite little crossbow pointing at him, less than three inches away from his forehead.

"Before the lord returns, you will be detained temporarily. If the lord returns, you will be innocent, Gao will personally take responsibility for the crime!" Gao Shun looked at Song Xian indifferently.

Song Xian's legs became weak, and he sat down to the ground depressedly, looking at Gao Shun bitterly: "How did the general know?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Zheng's expression remained unchanged, but Gao Shun looked fierce: "Sure enough, someone is planning to murder the lord?"

Song Xian knew that no matter whether Lu Bu came back or not, he would probably be unable to escape. He nodded in a daze and said, "Yes, Wei Ji's army has probably arrived at this moment. We have been planning this matter for a long time, and the lord has also arranged a good deal, so I am afraid that it will be doomed!"
