Chapter 866 [Insidious]
Ling Cao's face was shocked, and he asked, "Military Master, didn't you just say that you were going to assassinate King Yan?" King Yan has been killed, what is Gan Ning still doing? β
"It worked. If it didn't work, I wouldn't choose to stay with Ganning. However, Gan Ning is a martial artist, and it is better not to kill him, but it is better than killing him. Zhou Yu smiled evilly.
Ling Cao said: "Strategist, your words are too elusive, what can Gan Ning do if he stays?" It's better to kill it, in case Gan Ning leaks the news, it will be bad. β
"Hehe, you're right, I'm just going to use Gan Ning to leak the news."
"Strategist? You...... You're not sick, are you? Ling Cao looked at Zhou Yu in disbelief and asked puzzledly, "This kind of thing, I wish less people knew about it, the better, how can you let Gan Ning leak the news, do you want everyone in the world to know that we killed King Yan?" β
"Wrong! I let everyone in the world know that it was Cao Mengde who sent someone to assassinate Lin Ziyu. β
After Zhou Yu finished speaking, he squinted at Zhou Tai and asked, "Are you sure?" β
Zhou Tai pondered for a while and asked, "Military Master, the young master has not yet made a decision, is it not too late to wait for the young master to make up his mind to kill King Yan?" Anyway, he must have to stay in Wu for a while. β
"No, the longer this matter drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for us, only when it is unexpected, and the sooner the better, so that Lin Nan can't take precautions. I'll only ask you once, are you sure? Zhou Yu asked with a straight face.
"Strategist, if the young master doesn't speak, how can we act alone?" Dong Xi hurriedly said.
"When the young master asked me if there was a way, he already had this meaning, it was just a matter of time. In my opinion, it is better to kill late than early, and after killing, we can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. Zhou Yu said confidently.
Zhou Tai also made up his mind. He has followed Sun Ce for so long, so he can naturally figure out Sun Ce's thoughts, but he just wants to tell the matter through Zhou Yu's mouth. He nodded and asked, "Strategist, when will you do it?" β
Zhou Yu said: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day." Just today. β
Zhou Tai was also a little caught off guard by Zhou Yu's speed, in his thoughts, it should be Zhou Yu to set up a banquet to entertain Lin Nan, and then kill Lin Nan at the banquet. However, he was wrong, Zhou Yu really hoped that Lin Nan would die without a place to be buried, so he hurriedly asked, "Night?" β
"No, daytime, three o'clock in the afternoon." Zhou Yu said it easily.
Zhou Tai frowned. looked up at the sun in the sky, and said to Zhou Yu: "Military advisor, then I'll go and prepare, if I don't succeed, I will become a benevolent." β
"You must succeed, even if you don't succeed, you must take the opportunity to frame Cao Cao." After Zhou Yu finished speaking, he fell into Zhou Tai's ear and whispered a few words to Zhou Tai.
Zhou Tai listened. He nodded repeatedly, and then a smile appeared on his face. said complimentarily: "The military advisor's clever plan will cost Lin Nan's life today." β
Zhou Yu smiled evilly, Jiang Qin, Dong Xi, Chen Wu, Pan Zhang, Ling Cao, Song Qian, He Qi and others all looked at each other, not knowing what Zhou Yu said to Zhou Tai, but he was able to make Zhou Tai, the "black-faced king", show a rare smile.
Zhou Tai said goodbye to Zhou Yu and everyone, and left in a hurry. It's time to get ready for what he's supposed to do.
Zhou Yu smiled and said to the people behind him: "Okay, go back with me, and wait for Zhou Tai's good news." β
A crescent moon hangs high in the sky, casting a faint silver light on the water, adding to the coolness of the water. The evening incense building on the opposite side stood deserted under the silver light. In front of the building is a white flower. There are also mountains, stone walls, peach trees, and willow trees, each with its own color and shape, and in the silvery moonlight, they all seem to contain an ulterior secret.
The Evening Fragrance Building is built on the waterfront, next to a meandering stream, and in a water town like Jiangnan, this kind of building abounds.
In order to protect Lin Nan's safety, King Sun Jian of Wu specially sent Cheng Pu and Huang Gai to lead troops to guard the periphery to prevent accidents.
In the official residence of the evening fragrance building, the upstairs and downstairs are sleeping quietly, and the footsteps are like trampling on the dreams of these sleepers, and the leather shoes with iron heels are too heavy, and they will crush a few brittle dreams.
There are not many bamboo leaves left next to the evening fragrance building, and the cold wind occasionally bursts, still making it so big stupid to blow a few small leaves. The bald branches of a few sycamore trees looked clear in the moonlight. In the south of the country in March, it still looks so cold at night.
Wu Bing patrolled outside the Wanxiang Building, not daring to take a step closer to the inner courtyard of the Wanxiang Building, the entire Wanxiang Building seemed to be deathly quiet at night, all the rooms had no lights, only a vegetable oil lamp hung in front of the toilet, the light was dim.
Just after the hour, on the beam of the toilet, a figure suddenly jumped down, the man was dressed in black and masked, tall, with a little fierce light in his eyes, and scanned the entire Wanxiang Building at a fast speed.
The black-clothed and masked man was Zhou Tai, the first general of Wu Guoce's Yu army, who disguised himself as a slave during the day, quietly slipped into the evening fragrance building, looked for an opportunity, hid on the beam of the toilet, endured the stench emitted from the toilet, and stayed for a long time.
Zhou Tai took out a sharp dagger from behind his back, held it in the palm of his hand, and tiptoed from one shelter to the back of another, his figure looking very elegant and fast. $$
He was born poor, his parents died, he was exiled at the age of ten, and suffered from human suffering in the troubled times, in order to have a bite to eat, he was forced to rob the rich, kill people and goods, and fight for several years, although there was no famous teacher to guide him, but he was also self-taught, and practiced a good martial arts.
When he was fourteen years old, he met Jiang Qin, a native of Shouchun County, the same county, two teenagers who were both orphans in troubled times, hit it off at first sight, so they formed a gang and quickly recruited a gang in Huainan, specializing in robbing the rich and helping the poor, killing corrupt officials, and eliminating bullies.
However, a year later, Sun Jian sent troops to attack Jiujiang County, and quickly occupied Jiujiang County under a strong offensive. When Sun Jian heard that bandits were rampant in Jiujiang County, he prepared to send troops to suppress the bandits, but was dissuaded by his son Sun Ce. Sun Ce inquired about the location of Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin and others, and single-handedly broke into the cottage of Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, first defeated Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin with extraordinary force, and then took the initiative to invite Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin to join the army. Since then, the name of the bandit has been cleared.
Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin felt that Sun Ce, who was standing in front of them, had an unusual aura, so they led the crowd to surrender, and their subordinates naturally became the original force of the Ce Yu army. In the days to come, Zhou Tai was even more strict with himself and never did the business of robbing homes and houses.
But today, for the future of the country of Wu. He regained his old business, armed with a sharp sword, and entered people's houses at night, ready to commit murder again and blame others.
Zhou Tai had already inquired about the room where Yan Wang Lin Nan was, and quickly sneaked into the room where Lin Nan was, skillfully opened the door latch with a dagger, and got into it lightly.
The room was unusually quiet, and Zhou Tai heard intermittent snoring from the bed from time to time. I thought to myself: "I didn't expect King Yan's snoring to be louder than a pig......"
He tiptoed close to the bed, clutched the blade in his hand tightly, looked at the man lying on the bed covered with the quilt, and thought that he was about to die under his knife in a moment, and he was overjoyed, and his eyes revealed a great fierce light.
Without further ado, Zhou Tai has always been crisp and neat in killing, and quickly raised the dagger in his hand. It stabbed down suddenly.
"......"
A shrill pig cry suddenly sounded in front of Zhou Tai, and a pig under the bedding on the bed kicked indiscriminately.
Zhou Tai looked surprised. The night was indistinguishable, and it was dark and blind, he would never have thought that it was actually a pig sleeping on King Yan's bed. So, where did King Yan go?
Before he could figure out the cause and effect, a group of people with torches suddenly rushed out of the courtyard. Outside the door, lights came on and lit up half of the night sky.
"Listen to the people inside, you have been surrounded, if you know each other, come out quickly and be captured!" A loud voice rang out outside the door. Although the voice is a little long, it is sonorous and powerful.
Zhou Tai quickly calmed down the surprise in his heart, and at this time the room was already lit by the light outside the door, and he truthfully saw a pig lying on the bed, struggling incessantly, and other than that, there was no one in the room.
"I've always been meticulous, and even hidden places are very difficult to detect, so why do I still miss them? Don't? Someone leaked? Zhou Tai frowned, and thought secretly, "It's impossible, the people who know are all the people of Ce Yujun, everyone is like brothers, they are all good brothers who share weal and beg, and no one will leak secrets." But...... Why did King Yan know my actions in advance? β
didn't wait for Zhou Tai to think clearly, but he heard another voice from outside the door, and shouted: "The people inside, come out quickly!" β
Zhou Tai is no stranger to the shouting outside, this voice is Cheng Pu, one of the four generals under the tent of King Sun Jian, Wu Wang, and the unique timbre is very familiar to him. He walked to the window, poked a small hole in the window paper with his hand, and leaned over to take a look, but saw that there were bows and crossbows outside the door, swords and guns were everywhere, and Cheng Pu and Huang Gai were standing there with weapons in their hands.
"I didn't see King Yan, today is really stealing chickens and rice, Cheng Pu and Huang Gai are both excellent in martial arts, if you want to escape from here, you really need to work hard, and you can't let them recognize me, otherwise the young master will be ashamed, and King Wu's face will be very embarrassed." Zhou Tai thought to himself.
Just when Zhou Tai didn't know what to do, he suddenly heard a sound of "Teng" in the room, he was startled, and hurriedly turned around, but saw a strong man who was also dressed in black and masked appeared in front of him.
He was surprised in his heart, he didn't expect that there were still people hiding on the beams, and he didn't even notice at all, if it wasn't for the other party taking the initiative to appear, I'm afraid he would never know that there were still people hiding on the beams.
"Who are you?" Zhou Tai held the dagger in his hand tightly and crossed it across his chest, and his eyes emitted a fierce light.
The man in black sneered and said, "It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that I can help you get out." There are a lot of people standing outside, Cheng Pu and Huang Gai are by no means mediocre, if you want to rush out safely and soundly, it's a fool's dream. However, you can't die, if you die, your identity will be made public immediately, and when the time comes, I am afraid that the young master's face will be dull, and King Wu will not be able to escape the blame. You must know that the relationship between King Wu and King Yan is extraordinary. β
"Who the hell are you?" Zhou Tai frowned, thinking that the person standing in front of him was really not simple, and even he knew that he was sent by Sun Ce.
"As I said, it doesn't matter who I am, I can help you get out when it does. Let you leave this place safe and sound. The man in black spoke with a strange yin and yang, as if he was pinching his throat to speak, afraid that others would hear his voice.
"Why are you helping me? What are the intentions? Zhou Tai can be sure that this person is definitely not a person from Ce Yujun, otherwise, he should not show his true face. And the other party deliberately pinched his throat to speak, and he didn't want people to know who he was.
"You've got so many questions, do you want to get out of here?" The man in black asked.
"Yes! Do you have a way? Zhou Tai replied without hesitation, judging from the other party's appearance, it should be a friend rather than an enemy, otherwise, as soon as he entered the door, the other party could suddenly kill the killer and kill himself. But the other party didn't do this, and deliberately showed up to let himself go, as if he had expected this qiΔ a long time ago.
"Outside the mountain, outside the building, there are people outside the people, there is a sky outside the sky, I know what you are thinking, but please rest assured. I have absolutely no ill will towards you. If you can trust me, come with me. If you can't believe me, you stay, anyway, the Wanxiang Building has been surrounded inside and out, and you can't escape. "Humanity in black.
Zhou Tai heard what the man in black said in a fog, looked at the surrounding situation again, and felt that there was no way to go to heaven. There is no way to go to the ground, where is there any way out. But the man in black seemed to be very confident in his words, and seemed to have a plan to get out of it, so he nodded and said, "I believe you." If you take me out of here, I will reward you heavily. β
The man in black smiled: "That's not necessary, you come with me!" β
As the words fell, the man in black walked straight to the bed, pushed the dead pig on the bed down, lifted the sheets, and went directly under the black hole bed, never to come out again.
Zhou Tai stood in place and waited for a while, behind him was Cheng Pu's loud scolding, he ignored it, but he knew that after a while, if he really didn't go out, Cheng Pu was very likely to rush in.
The man in black suddenly peeked out from under the bed and asked, "Are you going to walk or not?" If you go, come in. β
"Let's go!"
Zhou Tai no longer hesitated, walked directly to the bed, leaned under the bed, stretched out his hand, and actually poked out a big hole from under the bed, his face was shocked, and he couldn't help but lose his voice: "Wanxianglou is actually a secret passage?" β
The man in black didn't wait for Zhou Tai's surprise to react, so he dragged Zhou Tai into the secret passage, then closed the baffle of the secret passage, took out the fire fold, hid in the secret passage, and whispered to Zhou Tai: "Shh...... Cheng Pu and Huang Gai came in and hid here for a while. β
Zhou Tai suddenly realized his mistake, this is not a secret passage to the outside, but a hidden compartment where you can hide, the space of the dark compartment is not very large, and it seems very crowded to accommodate two people.
"Whew!"
Zhou Tai suddenly blew out the fire fold in the hand of the man in black, and said in a low voice: "There can't be a little light, otherwise it will be discovered." β
As soon as the fire fold was blown out, the dark compartment suddenly fell into darkness, the man in black did not speak, and Zhou Tai could not see the expression of the man in black, but he was sure that the man in black did not make any objection to his words, but was very obedient.
"Bang!"
Cheng Pu kicked open the door of the room and rushed in with a steel knife in his hand, but when he saw that the room was empty, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and asked suspiciously, "What about people?" β
Huang Gai then entered the house, reflected the light, and saw a dead pig next to the bed, and a blood stain on the ground, so he said: "There is no sign, could it be that the assassin put on his wings and fled?" β
Cheng Pu didn't find anything suspicious at all, he and Huang Gai were hiding in the dark, and saw a black shadow sneak into the room where King Yan was staying, and then heard a pig's painful cry, and the two immediately rushed out with troops according to the agreement, and the entire Wanxiang Building surrounded by water.
"It's so weird, I obviously saw someone coming in, why did I disappear in the blink of an eye?" Cheng Pu looked around the room again, but found nothing, so he said puzzled.
"What a hell of a life!" Huang Gai said very puzzled.
At this time, Yan Wang Lin Nan, accompanied by Gan Ning, went straight into the room and asked loudly, "How is it?" Have you caught the Assassin? β
Cheng Pu and Huang Gai saw Lin Nan coming, and they hugged their fists together towards Lin Nan and said, "Meet His Royal Highness King Yan." β
"Excuse me, it seems that the assassin is very cunning, have you figured out the identity of the assassin?" As soon as Lin Nan walked into the room, he saw a dead pig lying on the ground. The ground was covered with blood, and he asked.
Cheng Pu said: "Your Highness, the assassin Shenlong saw the head and the tail, I saw him come in, but I didn't see him go out, and the entire Wanxiang Building was surrounded by us." Even with wings, the Assassins could not fly. However, when we entered, there was no trace of the Assassin, could it be that this Assassin really had the ability to go to heaven and earth? β
"Assassin...... The assassin has fled, come and catch the assassin......" Outside the Wanxiang Building, I don't know who shouted, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the Wanxiang Building.
Cheng Pu and Huang Gai looked at each other, they would never believe that the assassin had really escaped. But in front of Lin Nan, whether it was true or not, their first reaction was to hurry up and catch the assassin.
"Your Highness, please wait here, we will come as soon as we go."
After Cheng Pu finished speaking, he hurriedly said to Huang Gai: "Gongfu, you stay here with fifty people to protect the safety of His Royal Highness King Yan, no one ......."
Lin Nan didn't wait for Cheng Pu to finish speaking. He interrupted Cheng Pu's words and hurriedly said, "General Cheng." The assassin came without a shadow and went without a trace, I'm afraid it is a difficult character to deal with, I have Gan Ning's personal guard, so I don't bother General Huang, the two generals should do their best to catch the assassin. β
Cheng Pu felt that what Lin Nan said was reasonable. After all, he had also seen Lin Nan fighting on the battlefield with his own eyes, and with Lin Nan's force, ordinary people couldn't get close at all, not to mention that there was a Gan Ning by his side. He didn't refute, and glanced at Huang Gai. The two of them arched their hands towards Lin Nan very tacitly, and said, "In this case, we will go after the assassin, but for the safety of King Yan, we must leave a hundred people to guard the periphery of the Wanxiang Building to ensure that King Yan is safe." β
"Well, you guys, let them stay on the periphery, there are my people in the inner courtyard to protect me, I don't need them, and there is also my county lord of Dayan here, I'm afraid there will be a lot of inconvenience." Lin Nan waved his hand at Cheng Pu.
As soon as the words fell, Cheng Pu and Huang Gai immediately led their troops out, leaving only a hundred people to guard the periphery of Wanxiang Tower, and chased after the voice shouting "Catch the assassin".
As soon as Wu Bing walked like this, the inner courtyard of the entire Wanxiang Building suddenly seemed much quieter.
Lin Nan looked at the dead pig on the ground, and said to the entourage behind him: "Carry the dead pig to the room, order the cook to make some delicious dishes, and comfort the soldiers guarding outside the Evening Fragrance Building for a while." β
"No!"
β¦β¦
Zhou Tai and the man in black hid in the dark compartment, and heard the words outside clearly, and Zhou Tai didn't dare to come out.
At first, he thought that the man in black in front of him was Lin Nan or Gan Ning, but now that he heard that Lin Nan and Gan Ning were standing not far from him, he dispelled the idea of preparing to kill the man in black to protect himself.
He is not afraid of death, but worried that his identity will be exposed, once his identity is exposed, he is afraid that it will bring great disasters to Wu Guo.
However, Zhou Tai never figured it out, there were only a few people who knew about this plan, and as his young master, Sun Ce naturally wouldn't slap himself in the face. Zhou Yu is a military advisor, this plan was set by him, and he will not dig his own grave. Jiang Qin, Chen Wu, Dong Xi, Ling Cao and others are all good brothers who share weal and pain, and they will never betray themselves......
As soon as he thought of this very strange thing, Zhou Tai's head was big, and he couldn't guess what was going on.
Suddenly, he heard Lin Nan laughing heartily outside the dark grid, and then he heard Lin Nan's voice.
"Zhou Yu, this kid, this trick is really good, it seems that Wu Guo has been turned around by the group he played, and it is not in vain that I cultivated him back then. However, people are not as good as heaven, and in the end, Zhou Tai escaped. However, how did Zhou Tai escape this day? It's incredible. β
After Zhou Tai heard this voice, he suddenly became extremely nervous, and his heart was also in chaos, he didn't understand why Lin Nan would suddenly say such a thing.
Just when he was still puzzled, he heard Gan Ning's words, and only heard Gan Ning say: "The king is clever, and he has already calculated that there will be such a day in the Wu Kingdom, so he arranged Zhou Yu in Lujiang early and asked him to pretend to assist the Sun family, but how did the Sun family know that this qiΔ was a task that the king had already assigned to Xiao Zhou Yu?" If the king hadn't told Gan Ning about the old matter today, Gan Ning wouldn't have been so calm, and with my temper, even if I dig three feet into the ground, I will find out the assassin. β
"Well, you have to remember this matter, it must rot in the stomach, Zhou Yu's matter, from now on. Don't talk about it again. Now that Zhou Yu has become the military advisor of the Ce Yu army, if in a few years, with his talent, he will definitely control all the armies of Wu State, and at that time, I can easily control Wu State firmly in my own hands. β
"The king is wise. The ministers admired the king's foresight and foresight. β
"Hahaha, the Sun father and son are so naΓ―ve, and they don't want to think about why I let them come to the southeast? Why did I come all the way to Wu State, ostensibly to see Sun Jian, but in fact, I came for Zhou Yu, I want to see with my own eyes how long Zhou Yu is still from taking control of Wu State. β
"Your Majesty, Wanxianglou is no longer safe. It's better to stay with King Wu and move on to the next step. β
"Hmm."
β¦β¦
After a long while, Zhou Tai and the man in black hid in the dark grid and did not dare to come out, until there was no sound outside, and the two of them crawled out of the dark grid.
Zhou Tai completely heard those words, and his heart went up and down, Zhou Yu, who he trusted the most in the past, became another person in the blink of an eye. This made him unable to accept it, and he did not dare to face this cruel reality. But. He listened very carefully, and the conversation between Lin Nan and Gan Ning did not have the slightest flaw, it was exactly the same as telling the truth. He didn't know what to do, and he didn't know what to do.
"Then you get out of here quickly, this is not a place to stay for a long time, if Cheng Pu and Huang Gai don't catch up with the assassin. It will inevitably turn back, and when the time comes, you will really have wings to escape. Seeing that Zhou Tai was in a trance, the man in black hurriedly said.
Zhou Tai asked: "Thank you for the grace of Engong for saving his life, Zhou Tai can't repay it." Dare to ask Engong's name, and go to repay Engong's kindness in the future. β
The man in black waved his hand and said, "No need, General Zhou should leave here quickly, if you don't leave, I'm afraid it's really too late." β
Zhou Tai thought for a while, hugged his fists at the man in black and said, "Where is Engong going from here?" β
"Where you come from, you will naturally go back. You don't have to worry about me, you can go. The man in black urged.
Zhou Tai didn't say anything anymore, bowed to the man in black, turned around and left the room, and quickly left Wanxianglou with agility, and at this time, the entire Qu'a County was stirred, the shouts of catching assassins were everywhere, the fire was blazing, the soldiers and horses flowed, he arrived in a safe place, hurriedly took off his night clothes, stuffed it into a place, took out the armor that had been prepared a long time ago, put it on his body, and swaggered out on the street, catching the assassin with the soldiers.
In the Wanxiang Building, the man in black also left quickly, untied the veil, took off a night suit, and then set a fire to burn the entire Wanxiang Building to ashes.
At this time, Lin Nan came here with Gan Ning, and when he saw the man who set fire in front of Wanxiang Building, he shouted: "Zhongye, you have done a good job, this time Zhou Taitie must believe that Zhou Yu is already my person." β
The man called Zhongye is none other than Wen Ping, one of the eighteen hussars of Yan State, he and Su Fei, Wang Wei, and Shi Jie docked the ship at Qu'a Port during the day, and then handed over the ship to Su Fei, Wang Wei, and Shi Jie to command, and he himself quickly came to Qu'a City, and Lin Nan met, but he didn't expect to meet Lin Nan to assign him a task, so he gladly accepted it, and cooperated with Lin Nan and Gan Ning to co-star in this good show.
Wen Ping walked straight to Lin Nan's side, hugged his fists and said, "The last general will see the king." β
Lin Nan waved his hand, motioned for Wen to be exempted, and said: "You did a good job, leave the rest to me, I believe that Sun Jian should not be able to sit still now." β
Gan Ning said: "Your Majesty, in fact, the most grateful person should be the county lord, if she hadn't discovered the abnormality and came back to inform the king, I was afraid that the consequences would be unimaginable." β
Lin Nan nodded, did not speak, but thought in his heart: "Sakura's loyalty is naturally needless to say, I have already made it clear to her on the way to Soochow, if I don't tell her all the causes and consequences, with her character, if she knows that I have been using her, I am afraid that she will hate me for the rest of my life." Instead of keeping her in the dark, it is better to let her know about this qiΔ, I just want her to know what I want her to do. Perhaps, I have become a complete villain in her heart, but this real villain is much better than a hypocrite. β
Wanxianglou was set on fire by Wen Ping, and the fire began to spread around. Wen Ping looked at the Yan Dragon, and said to Lin Nan: "Your Majesty, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time, you should leave this place as much as possible, so as not to be injured by the fire." β
The three of them took their entourage, and as soon as they walked out of the inner courtyard of Wanxiang Building, they saw Sun Jian wearing civilian clothes and rushing over with Zhang Hong, Han Dang, Zu Mao and others. The pace is strong, and the expression is flustered.
Sun Jian had already rested, and when he slept soundly, he was woken up by Han Dang's knock on the door. When he heard about Lin Nan's assassination, he immediately became very nervous and hurriedly gathered people. casually put on a piece of clothing, went out, and went straight to the evening fragrance building.
Qu'a County Ya is in Dongcheng, Wanxianglou is in Xicheng, although the county seat is small, the streets are wide, Sun Jian and the people just came out of the county office, and found that the city was full of the sound of catching assassins, and he expected a trace of ominousness. Hurry up.
finally arrived at the location where he could see the Wanxiang Building, but suddenly found that there was a fire on the side of the Wanxiang Building, Sun Jian panicked, if King Yan really died unexpectedly, he could not escape the blame.
At this time, Sun Jian saw that Lin Nan was safe and sound accompanied by Gan Ning and Wen Ping, his face was happy, and he hurriedly walked in front of Lin Nan. grabbed Lin Nan's hand and asked, "Ziyu." You're okay, right? β
Lin Nan smiled: "Brother, don't worry, I'm blessed with a great life, and I'll be fine." If I had something, how could I be standing here? β
Sun Jian turned around, his face changed greatly, and he immediately said to Han Dang: "What are Cheng Pu and Huang Gai eating?" 200 elite soldiers. Can't keep a evening fragrance building? You go to Cheng Pu and Huang Gai, immediately remove the two of them from all their positions, and let the two of them reflect on it at home. β
After Lin Nan heard this, he hurriedly said to Sun Jian: "Brother, the two generals, Cheng Pu and Huang Gai, are both meritorious people. If it weren't for the two generals guarding here, waiting for my orders, and deploying this qiΔ, I'm afraid that my brother would never see me standing here again. The elder brother should reward the two generals, Cheng Pu and Huang Gai. β
Sun Jian said: "The two of them haven't caught the assassin yet, they are really incompetent, this kind of incompetent person, it's useless to keep it, don't want it." β
"No, it's not that they're incompetent, it's that the assassins are too cunning. However, after a hundred secrets, he still showed a trace of horses, I already know who sent the assassin, there is no need to make the city full of storms for an assassin, spread out, the reputation of the brother is not good, people may say, the dignified King Wu, even a single assassin can not be caught. I still hope that my brother can make big things small, and small things will be turned into small things, and it will be as if nothing happened. In addition, a random person is pulled out of the death row to act as an assassin and correct the law on the spot to reassure the people. Lin Nan defended Cheng Pu and Huang Gai.
Zhang Hong has been standing behind Sun Jian, and after listening to Lin Nan's words, he couldn't help but sigh secretly: "This person is really good at winning people's hearts, I didn't expect that a few short words can warm people's hearts, if Cheng Pu and Huang Gai are here, they will definitely be grateful to Lin Nan." It seems that Lord Xiangguo's worries are right, Lin Nan is by no means a simple person......"
Sun Jian thought about it for a while, and felt that what Lin Nan said was very reasonable, so he said: "Brother Ziyu's words are beautiful, but it makes me embarrassed to be a brother." β
Lin Nan listened to Sun Jian's polite words, and said: "Brother is polite, with the reputation of Brother Jiangdong Tiger, it is enough to prove that Brother Jiangdong is eloquent, otherwise Yangzhou will not be occupied by all Brother." β
Speaking of governing the country, if it weren't for Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, it would be impossible for Wu to have such a stable development. By the way, you just said you know who sent the Assassins? β
Lin Nan nodded and glanced at Gan Ning.
Gan Ning took out a token from his arms, handed it to Sun Jian, and said, "King Wu, please take a look." β
Sun Jian took the token, and suddenly saw a boxy token engraved with the word "Cao", he was shocked, and a very familiar person immediately appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but lose his voice: "Cao Cao? β
Lin Nan smiled and asked, "Is that what my brother thinks?" β
"I've seen this token, it's a special token for the tiger and leopard rider under Cao Cao's account, the tiger and leopard rider is the elite under Cao Mengde's account, and he is only dispatched by Cao Mengde, and now the evidence is conclusive, who else can he Cao Cao be?" Sun Jian held the token tightly, and a fierce light appeared in his eyes, "I didn't expect Cao Mengde to be so cruel to you?" β
Zhang Hong had been staying behind Sun Jian, and he heard Lin Nan's words when he was smiling and talking just now, so he pulled the corner of Sun Jian's clothes, leaned into Sun Jian's ear, and said: "Your Majesty, King Yan doesn't seem to think so, I guess he has other opinions, you might as well listen to his unique opinions." β
Sun Jian nodded, raised his eyelids, looked at Lin Nan, and asked, "Brother Xian, what do you think of this matter?" β
The fire dragon began to wreak havoc, and Rao is Lin Nan and the others were separated by a distance, but Wanxianglou had been engulfed in flames, and the raging fire was burning, scorching the people around them.
Lin Nan glanced back at the burned Wanxiang Building, and said to Sun Jian: "Brother, this place is not a place to speak, can you ......?"
Sun Jian immediately came to his senses, and said with a smile: "This is indeed not the place to talk, although the Wanxiang Building is the most luxurious building in Qu'a City, it has already been burned, why don't you invite the virtuous brother to the county government and talk with me all night?" β
"That's the best."
Subsequently, Sun Jian and Lin Nan walked side by side, followed by Gan Ning, Wen Ping, Zhang Hong, Han Dang, Zu Mao and others, on the way back to the county government, the group met Cheng Pu and Huang Gai, Sun Jian did not blame, but just asked them to quell the riots in the city.
When Sun Jian, Lin Nan and his entourage came to the county office, everyone sat in the hall, Lin Nan looked around, and said to Sun Jian and the others: "Brother, do you know that there is a plan, called borrowing a knife to kill people?" β
"Borrowing a knife to kill someone?" Sun Jian and the people present all looked at each other, not quite understanding what Lin Nan was talking about.
Lin Nandao: "This assassin has come and gone without a trace, the two generals Cheng Pu and Huang Gai have seen it with their own eyes, how can a person with such skills leave something behind?" Obviously, this is a debt. β
After hearing this, Sun Jian felt that there was a certain amount of truth, so he asked, "Then who does the virtuous brother think is the debtor?" β
Lin Nandao: "If it is really Cao Cao, Cao Cao will not do this at all, he will only come to kill me blatantly, although there has been a little friction between me and Cao Cao, but we have made an alliance, I believe that Cao Cao will not break the covenant so early." If I was really assassinated in the state of Wu, and my brother believed that it was Cao Cao's doing, there would inevitably be a big war with Cao Cao, and as a soldier and a civilian of the Yan country, knowing that I died in the state of Wu, I would inevitably be hostile to the Wei and Wu families, then, Yan, Wei, and Wu would start a war at the same time, and the world would become a world full of smoke. In this way, only someone who wants the three of us to fight would do such a thing. β
"Whoever wants the three of us to fight at the same time? Who's that? Sun Jian asked.
Lin Nan smiled, with a hint of cunning in his eyes, and asked, "Brother, can you think about it, who wants the three of us to fight the most now, and he sits on the mountain and watches the tiger fight?" β
Sun Jian thought about it carefully and said slowly: "Since Yuan Shu was destroyed by me and Cao Cao, there are only a few people left in the world, except for Cao Cao, Brother Xian and me, there are only Liu Bei, Liu Zhang, Ma Teng, and Shi Xie. Liu Zhang and Shixie were in a corner of peace, and Ma Teng adhered to the small court of Chang'an, although he had used troops against Xichuan, but he did not take it, but had to retreat to Hanzhong because of the road blockage. In this way, only Liu Bei, who occupies Jingzhou, is left. Don't...... Could it be that Brother Xian is talking about Liu Bei? β
"Liu Bei is a sanctimonious and ill-intentioned person, who else can there be besides him? His account is related to Yu and Zhang Fei, all of whom are invincible, and Guan Yu once killed the unparalleled Lu Bu outside Yique Pass, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu's strength is comparable, and the skills of the two are far above Cheng Pu and Huang Gai, if one person comes, it is naturally elusive. β
"Liu Bei and I have no grievances, why should he do this?" Sun Jian was puzzled. (To be continued......)
