Chapter 539 Xu Shu died? ?
"Don't worry, I won't forget it!"
"As long as you can escape from Cao Ying, fight hard!!"
Xu Shu gritted his teeth, and took the medicine Jiang Chen handed him.
"Don't worry, you only need to take the antidote I gave you within three days!"
"There will definitely be no problems!"
Jiang Chen comforted him.
"That's good, Xu will not be far away!"
"Housekeeper, let this distinguished guest leave through the back door!"
Seeing Jiang Chen put on those costumes again, and immediately turned into another person, that miraculous makeup technique also made Xu Shu stunned.
It seems that it is understandable for Jiang Chen to appear here.
This kind of make-up skill is hard for even him to see through, let alone those careless soldiers.
"Yes, sir!"
The housekeeper walked into the study room, and then made a gesture of invitation to Jiang Chen.
"Then I will take my leave first!"
"As long as you leave the city, there is a grave that has already been dug here!"
"You just need to get here and be buried here!"
"Everything can be resolved satisfactorily!"
Jiang Chen whispered in Xu Shu's ear, and then handed him a blueprint.
Xu Shu nodded, and then put the drawings into his sleeves. Jiang Chen's perfect layout also made Xu Shu more confident in this plan.
Time passed quickly, and the next day, bad news came from the Xu residence
After Xu Shu read a book last night, he suddenly fell ill and passed away directly.
The Xu residence was full of wailing, especially Xu Shu's mother, who was said to have cried so much that she fell into a coma several times.
The grief of losing a child in old age is not something ordinary people can bear.
Many ministers sent gifts to Xu Shu, but there were only a handful of people who visited in person, because they did not dare to get too close to Xu Shu.
They are in the Cao camp, and Xu Shu is a typical person who does not support Cao Cao. If he gets too close to Xu Shu, isn't that ruining his own future? ?
Such bad news has not yet reached Cao Cao's mansion.
Cao Cao was discussing a major national matter with several important ministers, and that was because of Jiang Chen's arrangement, Cao Cao's spies, after spending a lot of money, got the formula of gunpowder and the blueprint for making the matchlock gun.
"I asked a few people to come here today, mainly to let everyone see the authenticity of this formula!"
"Our spies got this at a huge price!"
"If it's fake, you have to think of another way."
Although the formula of gunpowder cost a lot of money, it still made Cao Cao feel a little strange. He thought it was too easy.
Why do they get it when they want it?
It cost a huge price before, and there was no news. Why was it suddenly exposed? With Cao Cao's suspicious character, he definitely suspected that Jiang Chen had ulterior motives in this move.
This is also the main reason why he summoned the ministers to come.
"Prime Minister, haven't we already summoned some alchemy Taoist priests?"
"It's better to let them burn it on the spot!"
"Wouldn't it be better to distinguish the authenticity of gunpowder?"
"There is no need to speculate here!"
Jia Xu suggested.
"Prime Minister, I also think Wen He's proposal is very good!"
"According to the information on intelligence, it's because Jiang Chen is going to keep sending weapons to the grassland!"
"It led to the exposure of the weapons production base!"
"It can be seen from this that Jiang Chen probably plans to train soldiers on the grassland too!!"
"Let his troops maintain sufficient combat power at all times."
"It can be inferred from this point that Jiang Chen did not intend to leak the gunpowder formula to our intelligence personnel!"
Xun Yu also nodded in response.
"In this case, Zhong De, you should immediately send someone to prepare all the ingredients needed for these formulas!"
"Then take it to our secret research and development base!"
"Ben Sun and Wen He, Wen Ruo will be waiting for you there!"
Cao Cao ordered.
"Yes, Prime Minister!"
Cheng Yu didn't dare to neglect, and immediately walked out of Cao Cao's study.
Not long after Cheng Yu left, a spy walked into Cao Cao's study.
These spies were directly under the command of Cao Cao.
"Prime Minister, I have important information!"
"It's all my own, so just say it!"
Seeing that the spy wanted to go to his side and whisper, Cao Cao stopped him immediately. This move also made Jia Xu and Xun Yu very moved.
Cao Cao has always trusted them so much!
Scholar die for the confidant!
"Prime Minister, Master Xu is dead?"
"Master Xu, which Master Xu??"
Hearing the secret agent's words, Cao Cao's head froze for a moment. In his own impression, there seemed to be no important minister with the surname Xu. It was all because Xu Shu had been hiding it so well in recent years.
This fishing technique is so high that Cao Cao almost forgot about him.
"Xu Shu, Xu Yuanzhi!"
"Ah~ it turned out to be Wuzhi, why did he die suddenly, is there a fraud in it?"
Cao Cao's eyelids twitched, and his intuition told him that there seemed to be something wrong with it.
How could it be such a coincidence that he got the weapon formula here, and Xu Shu died there. He always felt that there was something wrong with it.
Could it be suspended animation? ?
Cao Cao looked at the spy with some doubts.
"Prime Minister, I have sent someone to investigate in detail, and it is indeed dead!"
"There is no breath, and the subordinates have personally touched it. There is no breath of life!"
The spy said confidently.
"What do you love me think?"
"Do you think there is a problem with this?"
Cao Cao looked at Jia Xu and Xun Yu.
"My lord, it must be true that Xu Shu has been unsuccessful and died in depression. It is not impossible!"
"Anyone with great ambitions must either hide in the mountains, or be loyal to the prime minister like a minister. Like Xu Shu, he will definitely live in guilt every day."
"It's like walking dead inside."
Xun Yu thought for a while and replied.
"I also thought that Xu Shu might suffer from a mental illness!"
"As for life and death, maybe it has long been bearish!"
"If it is confirmed to be true, then of course we can make a decision!"
"At this moment, we should focus on the research and development of gunpowder and muskets to prepare for future wars!"
Jia Xu agreed.
"Since that's the case, Wen Ruo, if you stay, people will mourn for the truth!"
"Send a meticulous person to determine whether something really happened!"
Cao Cao thought about it and found it reasonable.
What is more important now is how to narrow the gap with Jiang Chen, and Jiang Chen is also good at using strategies, if the gap in weapons is still that big, it will be very difficult for him to win against Jiang Chen.
"Prime Minister, I will make arrangements immediately!"
Xun Yu nodded, and he decided to send his own nephew, so that he could tell him to see clearly whether he could be deceived by others, or Cao Cao would blame him in the future, and he would not be able to walk around.
"So good!"
"Let's meet at the secret base!"
Cao Cao nodded, because of the gunpowder matter, Cao Cao did not visit Xu Shu in person.
