Lu Qi walked through the streets and alleys, but in order not to expose Liu Ping's location, she chose to go in the opposite direction and fled all the way south.

Since she chose all the paths, Zhang Fei behind naturally couldn't catch up on horseback.

"Give the order to go down, block a few nearby streets, search for me, if you run into it, you will be killed!" Zhang Fei dismounted and gritted his teeth.

At the sound of the order, hundreds of soldiers immediately dispersed and blocked the exits of several streets.

Zhang Fei personally led people to search in the encirclement.

Half an hour had passed, when I suddenly heard a soldier from the south shouting, "General, those two men killed two brothers and fled south." ”

"Damn!" Zhang Feiqi's fury was like thunder, "The order is to strictly guard the Quartet City Gate and investigate in detail."

Mobilize more manpower to blockade the south of the city.

Lao Tzu didn't believe that the slut could put on wings and fly out of the city. ”

Xuzhou is not a small city, the scope of the south of the city is large, and it is not so easy to search for two people in the entire south of the city.

But Zhang Fei doesn't care so much, even if he digs three feet into the ground, he will dig Lu Qi out and kill him to relieve his hatred.

What's more, Lu Qi suddenly appeared on the streets of Xuzhou, this incident itself is suspicious, how can she sleep peacefully if she is not caught?

……

When the potters returned, they suddenly found that there were hundreds of soldiers at the gate of the city, carefully checking every person who came in and out.

As long as it was a young woman, and there were strong men who were eight feet tall, they were all arrested.

Fortunately, these two characteristics of the pottery merchant are not touched, and he Tao Dagongzi is also a celebrity in Xuzhou, and many soldiers know him, so he entered the city without much interrogation.

After entering the city, the potter immediately went to see Cao Bao in Cao's mansion and told Liu Ping his promise.

Cao Bao couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, with the edict of the Son of Heaven, their move was not a rebellion, but a rebellion for the imperial court, so that there was a banner of justice, which was more convincing.

If the potters become Xuzhou pastors in the future, then Xuzhou will still be the world of their Danyang people in the future.

"The eldest prince, the last general will go and gather his generals and discuss this matter with them, if you don't agree......" Cao Bao made a gesture to wipe his neck.

This is just the worst plan, at this time, the Danyang generals are all being squeezed out, even if he doesn't want to rebel, such as Tao Qing and others will force him to rebel.

"Wait, when we entered the city, we found a lot of soldiers checking and patrolling the streets of the city, how do you gather your generals at this time?" Tao Shang Dao.

"That's true," Cao Bao tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and he didn't understand why the city suddenly became nervous just now.

However, although the situation was tense, the people who did not move him were obviously not aimed at him.

He pondered for a moment and said: "In this way, Tao Qing is seriously injured, and I invite the Danyang military generals to take the opportunity to discuss this matter in the name of visiting Tao Qing." ”

"This excuse is reasonable," the potter nodded, they are all fellow villagers in Danyang, Tao Qing is so seriously injured, everyone meets to take a look, no one says anything, right?

Cao Bao immediately took action and sent people to inform the generals.

In fact, there are only six people at the rank of lieutenant in the Danyang Army, Tao Qing's opinion is already clear, Cao Bao only needs to convince the other five.

Cao Bao also went well, he invited the other five captains to Tao Qing's couch, and when everyone saw Tao Qing's appearance, they knew that there was no way out.

And this matter was led by the potters, which can be regarded as the seizure of power by their Danyang people, and with the blessing of the edict of the Son of Heaven, this action seemed justified, so they all agreed to follow Cao Bao.

……

At this time, in Liu Bei's official office, Mi Zhu was reporting to Liu Bei.

"Lord, just now Cao Bao invited the Danyang military general to Tao Qing's mansion, I am afraid that there will be misdeeds, and the lord must not be on guard."

Previously, when Tao Qian was alive, the Danyang family was in power, and they suppressed the local wealthy families led by Mi Zhu.

Now that Mi Zhu is in power, he in turn began to suppress the leaders of the Danyang faction, so he secretly monitored the Danyang generals.

Although Cao Bao went to invite the generals and did it extremely secretively, he couldn't hide it from Mi Zhu's people.

"They are just visiting the seriously injured, so what is the wrong deed? Zizhong was too careful. ”

Liu Bei smiled indifferently, he was able to sit firmly in the position of Xuzhou Mu, that is, to let all forces restrain each other, and not let any party become bigger, even Mi Zhu was no exception.

And now, Mi Zhu's power is not small.

"Lord, this Danyang Army is the old department of the Tao Envoy, and it is self-contained, and the whole is united, the lord must not be guarded against," Mi Zhu continued.

Liu Bei listened to this, he was already wary of the Danyang Army, and he didn't need to emphasize it.

At this time, a personal soldier suddenly came in to report: "Envoy Qi, General Zhang found Xu Du's spy in the south of the city, and it seems that he was stabbing him in Pengcheng." ”

Zhang Fei searched for a long time, but still didn't find Lu Qi Zhoucang's figure, thinking that this search would not end for a while and a half, so he hurriedly sent someone to inform Liu Bei.

"Xu Du's spies?" When Liu Bei heard this, his brows immediately tightened.

He naturally knew that Zhang Fei had lost Pengcheng County because he was stabbed by Xu Du's spies, and now that the assassin had come to Xuzhou again, it would definitely be no good thing.

"Lord, the Danyang army will gather privately, and now there are Xu Du assassins, this is probably not accidental," Mi Zhu took the opportunity to say.

Liu Bei nodded, and realized that things might not be so simple, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Just act according to Zizhong's wishes." ”

Mi Zhu was overjoyed in his heart, so that he solved the hidden danger and wiped out his old opponent, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

He immediately went out and gave an order, and sent his subordinates to surround Tao Qingfu.

Cao Bao and the others had just finished discussing and were about to disperse to start the incident, but they were taken away by a nest.

It's a pity that they haven't had time to mobilize troops around them, and only a few of them are powerless to resist in the face of so many parts.

Soon they were all arrested by Mi Zhu.

The pottery merchant waited in the mansion for a long time and did not receive news from Cao Bao, and in his uneasiness, he pretended to be leisurely and walked to Tao Qing's mansion, and saw Cao Bao and others being locked in a prison car, escorted by Mi Zhu, and it seemed that they were preparing to be imprisoned.

The potter suddenly panicked, what if Cao Bao and the others were not strict and confessed to him?

At this time, no one gave him ideas, and the only person he thought of who could give him guidance was Liu Ping.

The potter hurriedly marched eastward, he had just entered through the north gate, and then went out from the east gate, and the soldiers guarding the gate would naturally not suspect it.

The city gate is only strictly checked, and it is not that people are not allowed to enter and exit.

The potter came out smoothly, went around in a big circle to Fan Xian Grange, and explained what happened to Liu Ping in detail.

"It turned out to be a big thing for Mi Zhu to spoil me!"

Liu Ping was angry when he heard this, and slammed his fist on the table.

In the history of the Three Kingdoms of the Later Han Dynasty, Mi Zhu was not a very important figure, so Liu Ping did not attach importance to this person.

But in reality, Mi Zhu is the largest wealthy family in Xuzhou, and his energy and destructive power are immeasurable.

"It seems that I want to remove this surname Mi first!"

"Ping Gongzi, you sit here, can you have a way to bring down Mi Zhu?" The potter asked, puzzled.
