Li Bei led a soldier and left, and the strength of Li Jue and Guo Si in Chang'an reached a balance.

Guo Si was always suspicious about Li Jue's attempt to poison him, but he could not ask Li Jue. Once he spoke, the harmony on the surface of the two would be torn to pieces, so he could only temporarily endure it, hoping that the matter would come to light sooner or later.

Both sides spent seven or eight days peacefully. After the meeting ended one day, Guo Si was about to go home, but was stopped by Li Jue. Li Jue said enthusiastically: "Ado, last time I invited you to a banquet, you said you were unwell. Today, I saw that you were full of red faces, and I guess I would have gone to the mansion to drink a few bottles. It should be fine."

Guo Si intentionally refused Li Jue's invitation, but in order to prevent the other party's suspicion, he hesitated for a while and nodded in agreement: "Since it is a good intention, it's better to obey your orders than respect."

The two of them came to the outside of the Dasikong Mansion one by one. Li Jue got out of the car first and waited next to Guo Si's car. After he got out of the car, he walked into the mansion with his hand.

Because Li Jue sent someone back to the house to say hello before leaving, the banquet was already set up when the two came to the living room. After the guests and hosts sat down, Li Jue raised the wine bottle in his hand and said to Guo Si a little proudly: "Ado, the court is now the world of you and me, and this life is so happy. Come on, you and my brothers drink this bottle all over." After that, before Guo Si raised the wine bottle, he raised his head and poured the fine wine in the bottle into his mouth.

Guo Si was holding the wine bottle, and hesitating in his heart. He was afraid that Li Jue would poison the wine in the wine, so he did not move for a long time. After drinking all the American wine in the wine bottle, Li Jue placed it on the table and waited for the servants to pour wine for him. Seeing that Guo Si was still holding the wine bottle and was not moving, he asked curiously: "Adu, why don't you drink?"

Guo Si thought to say that he had been feeling unwell recently and could not drink alcohol, but then he thought that if he said this, Li Jue would definitely see the flaw. Now I am in his mansion. As long as he gave his order, a group of swords and axes rushed in from the corridor, which was enough to tear me apart. Thinking of this, he could only smile bitterly, pick up the wine bottle, and drink the wine in the bottle.

After he put down the wine bottle, he focused on his body. When he saw nothing strange, he felt that he was a little worried. If Li Jue wanted to harm him, he would definitely not invite him to the mansion to start. In that case, whether it was poisoning or dismembering the corpse, he would be discussed. Li Jue would never do such a stupid thing. After he put down his concerns, he would drink and eat meat with confidence and talk about the love and flowers with Li Jue.

Shi Tao, who was staying in the inn, saw that Li Jue and Guo Si had already controlled the power of the court for so long, and he couldn't help but feel anxious. He found Xu Shu and said to him: "Yuan Zhi, after all, Li Guo and Guo have not turned against each other yet. Could it be that the lord's plan has not worked?"

"Guangyuan, don't be impatient." Xu Shu looked at the impatient Shi Tao with a normal expression: "The lord has always been aware of things. He said that as long as he used a counter-espionage plan, Li Guo can turn against him and become enemies, then the two will definitely become mortal enemies. Although it is calm at the moment, maybe the two are already guarding against each other."

"Then we always have to do something." Shi Tao, who was a little impatient, said: "If we wait like now, we have to wait until the year of the Monkey and Horse Month before the two of us turn against each other."

"Guangyuan, I have sent people to arrange personnel outside the Grand Sikong Mansion and the Grand General's Mansion. If Guo Si enters the Grand Sikong Mansion, I will know." Xu Shu smiled faintly and said, "When the time is ripe, we will fan the flames again, and we will definitely let Li and Guo and the others die."

Shi Tao wanted to ask again, but saw a middle-aged man wearing a common man walking in from outside. He knew this person, which was a detailed work sent to the capital by Jizhou, so he asked quickly: "But is there any news?"

"Two gentlemen," Since Xu Shu and Shi Tao did not have specific official positions in Jizhou, Xiaoshu called the two men alike: "I saw Guo Si going to the Grand Sikong Mansion."

When Xu Shu heard what Xiaotao said, his eyes lit up and he quickly asked, "Do you know what Guo Si went to Li Jue's mansion to do?"

He replied in detail: "I asked the chef of Dasikong's mansion that Li Jue invited Guo Si to the banquet."

"So that's the case, I understand." After Xu Shu said that, he whispered and ordered in detail: "You should contact the host in the General's Mansion immediately. If Guo Si wants to drink feces after returning to the mansion tonight, come and report to me."

Xizuo was shocked by Xu Shu's words. He thought to himself who would be so bored that he could drink feces at home? But since it was Xu Shu's order, he did not dare to disobey it, so he could only agree: "The little one understands. If there is any disturbance in the Guo family, the little one must come to report to the teacher as soon as possible."

After Xiaozuo left, Shi Tao looked at Xu Shu and asked in confusion: "Yuan Zhi, what are you talking about, you confused me. Guo Si is so good, why should you drink feces?"

Xu Shu got up and walked to the door, looked outside, then walked back to Shi Tao, took out a letter from his sleeve, handed it to Shi Tao, and said to him: "This is a secret letter from the lord, you can take a good look."

Shi Tao, who looked puzzled, took the letter and opened the contents on it. After reading the letter, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide in surprise. After a long time, he said to Xu Shu: "Yuanzhi, it turns out that this counter-espionage plan was designed by the lord?" After seeing Xu Shu nodding and expressing his affirmation, he continued to ask, "As far as I know, the lord has never been to the capital. How could he know who should let the lord in the court perform this counter-espionage plan? If the lord is entrusted with the news, will it cause a murder for you and me?"

Regarding Shi Tao's concerns, Xu Shu nodded and said, "Guangyuan, you are right. When I received this secret letter, I also had your current concerns, but when I saw that things were as stated in the lord's letter, I felt that there was no need to worry anymore. As long as we cooperate with the lord to perform counter-espionage plan, let Li and Guo become life-and-death rivals, we don't have to worry about anything anymore."

"But, the lord said that after Guo Si went to Li Jue's mansion for a banquet, he would lead his troops to attack Li Jue the next day." Although Shi Tao finished reading the secret letter, he still didn't understand many things, so he humbly asked Xu Shu for advice: "I want to know what exactly is that can make two brothers turn against each other?"

"The lord's letter did not explain in detail." Xu Shu said thoughtfully: "But he asked us to send someone to observe whether Guo Si drank feces when he came back from Li's mansion to judge that it should be related to poisoning."

"Poison? How is this possible?" Shi Tao still felt that all the advantages were incredible. He said to Xu Shu: "If Li Jue wanted to harm Guo Si, he would just find two assassins to sneak into the general's mansion in the middle of the night and assassinate him. Why do you need to do this to trick him into the house and poison him? Isn't this not to tell everyone that Guo Si was killed by him?"

"I can't understand this matter." Xu Shu nodded slightly after Shi Tao finished speaking, and then said, "Since Li Jue will not poison Guo Si, how can Guo Si drink feces and detoxify after returning home?"

Guo Si was drinking happily in Li Jue's mansion, and only drank until the moon was over three o'clock before he left. When Mrs. Guo saw that Guo Si had not returned for a long time, she sent someone to inquire outside. He heard that he had been drinking at Li Jue's mansion, so he was furious. He thought that Guo Si had secretly met Mrs. Li again under the name of drinking.

Seeing Guo Si come back from outside, he immediately went up and asked coldly: "Husband, you are finally back. Have you forgotten how many times have you told you that I can't go to that person's house easily, otherwise it will cause death?"

After hearing this, Guo Si said disapprovingly: "Madam is too worried. I and Zhiran have been friends for many years and have always been brothers. How could he harm me? In the last incident, most of the time, it was a villain who was trying to provoke my relationship with him." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly covered his stomach and screamed in pain.

When Mrs. Guo heard Guo crying that his stomach hurt, she couldn't help but feel anxious and said, "It must be poisoned!" After that, she called the housekeeper and asked him to go to the toilet to get the feces to detoxify Guo Si.

"Then we always have to do something." Shi Tao, who was a little impatient, said: "If we wait like now, we have to wait until the year of the Monkey and Horse Month before the two of us turn against each other."

"Guangyuan, I have sent people to arrange personnel outside the Grand Sikong Mansion and the Grand General's Mansion. If Guo Si enters the Grand Sikong Mansion, I will know."
