The war broke out in Songzhou, and millions of people fled to Yanzhou and Bozhou in order to escape the war, so that the originally rich Songzhou was depressed, ten rooms and nine empty, and several armies killed Songcheng County, and originally plundered the columns, but everywhere they passed, they were empty cities and empty villages, so that Zhu Zhu's army gained nothing.

Outside the Song City, all the houses within a radius of ten miles were demolished, the trees were cut down, and the population was all moved into the city, and there were no birds, birds and beasts, and it was barren.

Zhu Zhu personally led an army of 100,000 to surround Songcheng County, and the big tent was one after the other, stretching for more than ten miles, but Zhu Zhu's army could not attack the city, and the siege weapons he transported from Luoyang had not yet arrived, and Zhu Zhu did not stop, and ordered the army to move overnight to fill in the moat of the northern city.

On this morning, the news of Chen Liu's stay finally reached Songcheng County, making Zhu Zhu couldn't believe his ears, his military advisor Liu Sigu was missing.

"What the hell is going on?"

Zhu Jun's roar came from inside the big tent, "You have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death, where has he gone?" ”

A messenger general fell to his knees tremblingly, and the thunderous fury of the lord frightened him, and he stammered and explained, "Five... The guards were killed, and the luggage of the military division was ..... The money bag is in everything, we doubt .... It is suspected that the military advisor has been taken captive. ”

"Fart!"

Zhu Jun waved the letter in his hand, "If he is taken captive, how can this letter be explained?" ”

Wei Feng, another staff member next to him, said: "Your Majesty, with the physical strength of the military division, he can't kill five strong guards, it must be someone else, although this letter is the handwriting of the military division, but it may not be written by himself, as far as the humble position knows, there are masters of imitating handwriting in Luoyang, and even the imitator himself can't recognize it, this letter is lowly I think there are two possibilities, either the military advisor was coerced to write, or it is imitated, the tone of this letter is natural, so the humble position feels that the latter possibility is more likely, it should be a forged letter." ”

Liu Sigu's disappearance can be said to be some people are happy and some are worried, what is worried is Zhu Jun and Xiao Wanding and other generals, and there are slightly more happy people, like Liu Feng and others, but what is even happier is a group of staff.

Of course, Zhu Jun is not only a military advisor to Liu Sigu, he has five military divisions and more than 20 full-time staff, this group of people has been living in the shadow of Liu Sigu for a long time, like Wei Feng, the second military division, Liu Sigu is missing, and the happiest person is him, he finally survived.

But Wei Feng didn't dare to show the joy in his heart, he also showed pain, he saw that the Son of Heaven was a little shaken, and continued to explain: "Your Majesty, the military advisor has no family, it is impossible to be coerced by someone with his family, and now when the war is stalemate, he is busy with logistics, and there is no reason to suddenly give up everything."

And he is deeply trusted by His Majesty, it can be described as a holy favor, under normal circumstances, he will never leave, there is only one possibility, it is not an abnormal situation, so he thinks that he was coerced to leave. ”

Zhu Zhu finally believed in the fact that Liu Sigu was taken away, and he asked the general who reported the news: "Have you been looking for it?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, we went to look for it, and we searched all over the inside and outside of Chenliu County, but we didn't find the figure of the military division, and there was no clue."

Wei Feng shook his head, "You can't find it like this, Your Majesty, let's let the humble post go to Chen Liu!" Humble duty to give His Majesty an explanation, you have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death! ”

Several other staff members next to him scolded in their hearts, this was obviously an excuse to find someone to go to Chen Liu to take over Liu Sigu's power, but they had no choice but to watch the Son of Heaven agree.

"It's good! You go to Chenliu not only to find a military advisor, but also to continue to supervise the money and food, supervise the training of the scattered army, and transport materials, you tell Liu Xiangguo that I will not pursue the matter of raiding the house for the time being, and ask him to immediately send 300,000 troops to Songcheng! ”

If he doesn't know the price of firewood and rice, Zhu Jun directly commanded the army before he knew that the army could not be delayed, not only did the army mutiny, but he also refused to sell his life on the battlefield, he was now in a hurry to get the army, and the magnates couldn't take care of the complaints.

Wei Feng was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Weichen must live up to His Majesty's trust!" ”

..........

At the same time, Liu Feng of Luoyang also got the news of Chen Liu, and he was really puzzled, what happened? Liu Sigu turned out to be missing, why didn't Lei Zhenzi kill him?

Yang Mi is also confused, Ding's plan is to get rid of Liu Sigu, why doesn't Lei Zhenzi implement it?

However, Yang Mi still vaguely guessed that Lei Zhenzi was the senior brother of His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and it was likely that His Royal Highness the King of Jin had another explanation for him.

"Xiangguo, the assassin must carry out the task according to the situation, it must be that the situation has changed at that time, it may be surrounded, Lei Zhenzi needs to use Liu Sigu to break through, but one thing is certain, Liu Sigu is finished, otherwise he will not disappear, but should return to the Chen Liuguan Office."

"Liu Sigu is really finished?"

Liu Feng stared at Yang Mi sternly, "He can't be confused by Liu Sigu's money and forget his mission, right?" ”

What Liu Feng is most worried about is that Liu Sigu bought Lei Zhenzi with a lot of money, causing Lei Zhenzi to let Liu Sigu go, and even betray himself.

"Xiangguo rest assured, Lei Zhenzi is a person outside the world, he doesn't care about money, and he believes that he will complete the task."

As he was talking, a guard reported under the hall, "Qi Xiangguo, the black fox is back, leave something for Xiangguo and leave." ”

"Where's the thing?"

"In his room!"

Liu Feng hurriedly rushed to Lei Zhenzi's room with Yang Mi, a large group of guards had surrounded the room, but there was no one inside, and everyone was just not allowed to enter.

"Xiangguo is here, let's let go!"

Everyone got out of the way, and Liu Feng and Yang Mi hurried over one after the other.

The leader of the guards stepped forward to report, "The thing is on the bed in the room, no one has touched it, and the whereabouts of the black fox are unknown!" ”

Liu Feng nodded, pushed the door in, and there was almost nothing in Lei Zhenzi's room, only a bed, not even a box, table and chairs.

There was no futon on the bed, only a small wooden box with a letter on it.

Liu Feng stepped forward, he first took out the letter and read it carefully, there was only one sentence on it, "I have completed the trust of Xiangguo, and the feather is coming, and I will go back to the mountain to ascend to the immortal!" ’

Liu Feng was dumbfounded, and just left, he hurriedly opened the box again, and suddenly screamed in fright, and took a few steps back. The guards stepped forward one after another, and found a hand in the box, with lime underneath.

"Xiangguo, it's a severed hand."

Liu Feng was born as a butcher, so he was not afraid of this, but it came too suddenly, and he was not mentally prepared, so he was taken aback.

He stepped forward again to take a closer look, and it was a thin, dry hand, like an eagle's claw, with a large sapphire ring on its index finger.

"Xiangguo, it should be Liu Sigu's hand!" Yang Mi said on the side.

Liu Feng nodded, Liu Sigu's hands were like this, thin and dry, like chicken paws, and the precious sapphire ring, he recognized it at a glance, it was Liu Sigu's sapphire ring, which was given to him by the Son of Heaven, which was extremely precious.

"Why didn't he send the head?"

Liu Feng was a little depressed and said: "It's reassuring to send the head!" ”

"Xiangguo don't be entangled, whether it's the head or the hand, it's actually the same thing, as long as Liu Sigu doesn't appear again, then he will definitely die, and it has nothing to do with Xiangguo, besides, a person can't do anything without his right hand."

"That's it!"

Liu Feng said helplessly: "This matter ends here, we hurry up and send away the 300,000 Guan soldiers that the Son of Heaven wants, this matter is a major matter that cannot be delayed." ”

.........

On the tenth day after Liu Sigu's disappearance, in Chang'an, Liu Sigu, who was wearing a green coat and a small hat, walked into the Xuandu Temple, one of the three major temples in the world, under the leadership of Wang Yue, the commander of the internal guard.

The Zixiao Heavenly Palace in Kongtong Mountain, the Laojun Courtyard in Qingcheng Mountain and the Xuandu Temple in Chang'an are known as the Three Great Dao Temples in the world, and Guo Song's senior brother Gan Feng is currently the palace master of Zixiao Heavenly Palace.

The physical statue of Guo Song's master Mu Zhenren will be enshrined in turn in the Three Great Dao Temples every year, which is also approved by Guo Song himself, the master wants to let the world's Taoist friends admire, and can not specialize in the beauty of Zixiao Heavenly Palace, this year it is the turn of the Xuandu Temple, and the golden body is enshrined in the Golden Body Pavilion.

Liu Sigu also believes in Taoism, he used to be the chief staff of Yu Chaoen, and often came to Xuandu to view incense, and today he revisited the old place, which made him feel emotional, time has passed 20 years, and things have long been wrong.

"Mr. Liu, please go this way!"

Wang Yue took Liu Sigu to a splendid pavilion, there are three big characters on it 'Golden Body Pavilion', this is Guo Song's own handwriting, the master of the cloud is standing at the door, he is over eighty years old, gray hair, Liu Sigu also knows him, hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.

"Does the Celestial Master still know me?"

Shangyun Heavenly Master smiled and waved his hand: "His Royal Highness King Jin is in the pavilion, Lord Liu Shi, please!" ”

Liu Sigu walked into the pavilion and came to the golden shrine enshrined in the middle, he saw the golden body statue of the body, and a layer of light veil was hung in front of it, and the law was looming.

Liu Sigu knelt down, respectfully kowtowed three heads, and stepped forward to salute a stick of incense, at this time, Guo Song appeared to the side and said lightly: "Mr. Liu, I haven't seen you for many years!" ”
