459. Chapter 459 is about the overall situation



Liu Xiu was still suspicious. Although he didn't want to believe that Liu Kuan was that kind of person, what kind of character was Han Yu? At least in Liu Xiu's eyes, Han Yu was really a gentleman, and in some aspects he was much more perceptive than him, and he would never say those things for no reason.

So Liu Xiu and Yin Shi came in together, and Liu Xiu looked at Liu Kuan in a very obscure way, as if he wanted to see something from Liu Kuan, but after observing for a long time, he couldn't figure it out.

Liu Kuan's reaction and performance were exactly what a loyal subordinate should have. Either Liu Kuan was really loyal, or this person was really hiding too much. Thinking of the second possibility, Liu Xiu really couldn't let it go. He treated Liu Kuan as he did in the past. At this time, Liu Xiu was still too young, and it was precisely because of this that a cunning person like Liu Kuan noticed it and cautiously hid all his flaws.

Yin Shi and Liu Kuan came to Liu Xiu to discuss the issue of food and fodder for the army. It was not only the daily supply and needs of the army, but also the huge amount of food and fodder consumed in this war. Therefore, the food stored in Yiyang City was not enough and could only support less than a month. They came to Liu Xiu to discuss and find a solution for this.

Military rations were a matter of great importance to the overall situation. Since Liu Xiu was suspicious of Liu Kuan, how could he feel comfortable discussing with Liu Kuan and let Liu Kuan be responsible for such an important matter? Moreover, he had promised Han Yu not to let Chen Chu and Liu Kuan be involved in important matters. A gentleman should keep his promise. Once he promised, he should do it. This was why Han Yu did not make any further arrangements on this matter, because he knew that Liu Xiu was a man who kept his promises.

Liu Kuan was not stupid. He knew that Han Yu must have said something to make Liu Xiu suspicious of him. In this case, it would not be easy for him to do anything here. It would be better for him to simply follow Liu Xiu's wishes and withdraw from this matter. This would help Liu Xiu reduce some of his suspicion and was also a way for him to protect himself.

"My lord, I have been feeling unwell recently and have been a little tired. I have been holding on because of the many things in the army. This time we won a big victory and caused more than half of the enemy to be injured. The enemy dared not move during this period. I would like to ask for an easier job from you so that I can recuperate for a while. I hope you can grant me that."

Liu Kuan would suddenly suggest changing to a less busy position, which was exactly what Liu Xiu had been thinking about just now, but he couldn't find a reason, so he didn't say it. Now that Liu Kuan brought it up himself, it gave him a way out. Liu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little apologetic.

Does Liu Kuan's behavior mean that he is innocent? Otherwise, he would not have withdrawn so easily? Liu Kuan was not uncomfortable. Liu Xiu knew very well that this was just an excuse. Liu Kuan might have noticed his suspicion, so he did this.

Liu Xiu felt a little apologetic, but he still went along with what Liu Kuan said. Not only did he agree to Han Yu, but the doubt in his heart had not completely disappeared. Although Liu Xiu was kind-hearted, everything else was good. Otherwise, Han Yu would not have decided to follow Su Wenyue just because of what Su Wenyue said. So, although Liu Kuan's actions made Liu Xiu feel a little apologetic, it also brought with it more doubts.

Although Liu Kuan seemed to have cleared the grudge, it was precisely because of this that people noticed more inappropriate things. Only people with something fishy would be anxious to clear the charges and prove their innocence. Otherwise, why did Liu Kuan immediately respond when he showed some doubts? Isn't this called a guilty conscience? If Liu Xiu had no doubts about Liu Kuan before, he would really start to seriously think about Liu Kuan at this moment.

After getting Liu Xiu's approval, Liu Kuan felt a little heavy in the heart, but he was very good at hiding his thoughts. He retreated as if nothing had happened, but in his heart he was already thinking about how to dispel Liu Xiu's suspicion, or whether he should prepare a way out for himself.

Yin Shi had been watching the abnormal behavior and reactions of Liu Xiu and Liu Kuan. He was not stupid. If he had previously suspected that Han Yu had said bad things about him in front of Liu Xiu, but now he didn't think so at all, the problem must be with Liu Kuan. Could it be...

In fact, Liu Xiu and Han Yu both revealed some things to Yin Shi about the thief in their group, hoping to alert Yin Shi more. So Yin Shi immediately thought of this problem after he reacted, and his eyes changed when he looked at Liu Kuan's back.

Yin Shi and Liu Kuan got along well because there was no conflict of interest between them, and Liu Kuan had a good personality and was very good at dealing with people. Yin Shi was also happy to make more friends. But if Liu Kuan was really a spy sent by the enemy, Yin Shi's not-so-big eyes narrowed, revealing a bit of viciousness.

"Uncle Wen, is there something wrong with Liu Kuan? Otherwise, why did you send him to a more quiet place?" Yin Shi had some guesses in his mind, but after hesitating for a long time, he finally asked. After all, if Liu Kuan was really a traitor, it would be a big problem and he had to be on guard against it.

Liu Xiu looked at Yin Shi's inquiring expression. Yin Shi was not only his uncle, but his interests were also tied together. There was no need to hide it from him. Moreover, Yin Shi and Liu Xiu had just come to see him together, which showed that they had a good relationship. It would be best for Yin Shi to be more cautious to avoid being taken advantage of by Liu Kuan. Of course, this was on the premise that Liu Kuan was really a traitor.

Liu Xiu told Yin Shi all about Han Yu's previous suspicions and guesses. Although Yin Shi did not get along with Han Yu, he believed Han Yu's words more than Liu Xiu, and immediately regarded Chen Chu and Liu Kuan as traitors.

"Uncle Wen, Han Yu was right this time. In this kind of situation, it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let a hundred go. What's more, there are many suspicious points about them. There is probably something wrong with them. Han Yu would not have told the truth if he was not more than 50% sure. You can't be soft-hearted. No matter what you do to such a traitor, it is not excessive." Yin Shi and Han Yu's thoughts are quite consistent on this point, but Han Yu's words are more tactful and artistic, while Yin Shi is more direct. It is mainly because of anger. No one will be polite to a traitor.

In fact, Liu Xiu didn't quite agree with Yin Shi's words. Yin Shi's style of doing things was too ruthless. He still said that before there was evidence, he would never do anything to his subordinates because of his suspicion and doubt. Anyway, he had decided to put Chen Chu and Liu Kuan in less important positions, so it would not be a big deal.

"Ci Bo, these are just suspicions and guesses. We don't have any evidence. Whether it is true or not has yet to be verified. Just know it in your mind. I told you this just to alert you and make sure you don't let others take advantage of you. As for the rest, I have my own ideas."

Yin Shi frowned unconsciously when he heard Liu Xiu say this. He disagreed with Liu Xiu's approach.
