The Hou Ye of Chu State, who can be called the first, went out of the Northland, but there were only three people with his entourage, but no one dared to underestimate the team of three people.

Two of them are two of the five major nursing homes of the Zhao Mansion, both of whom are second-rate masters, and the other is sent by Wu Sangui, the head of the Wu family who is commensurate with Zhao Tuo as a brother, but they are even more powerful than the two nursing homes, and they are only one line away from the first-class.

Such a battle, coupled with Zhao Tuo himself, can walk sideways in Chu.

Although the State of Chu is one of the largest countries among the Seven Kingdoms, there are no masters in the country, and it is not that the State of Chu is in decline, but compared with those mayfly-like characters on the rivers and lakes, the King of Chu believes in the army in his hand more.

Over the years, the king of Chu has also been pursuing his choice, putting more investment in the supply of the army, but there are very few disciples around him.

In fact, the decision of the king of Chu also achieved results, the general Xiang Yan led 100,000 elite soldiers of the Xiang clan to defend the Qin State in the west, and the 100,000 iron cavalry under Zhao Tuo, Marquis of Bengbu, were stationed in the north, and the army garrisoned in the city of the king of Chu was no less than 250,000.

It is precisely with these nearly 500,000 soldiers that the king of Chu can safely sit on this country covering an area of 1.5 million.

However, at this time, the Xiang family and the Marquis of Bengbu became the biggest guard of honor of the King of Chu, and Xiang Yan of the Xiang family has been serving as a general in the capital of Chu, and has never been crowned a king and a marquis, which can be said to be firmly in the hands of the King of Chu. The Bengbu Marquis in the north has become the most unstable factor in the Chu State.

At the beginning, the general of the Qin State led the troops to the east, Xiang Yan was ordered to go to the resistance, almost emptying all the troops that could be mobilized in the Chu State, who knew that the Northern Qi army took the opportunity to go south, and wanted to cut off a piece of meat on the Chu State, and the King of Chu reluctantly promised the guest from the farmhouse to allocate 50,000 soldiers to him.

The head of the peasant family did not disappoint Xiong Wan, not only forced back the army of Qi to take advantage of the fire to rob, but also stationed in the north, so that the north of Chu was impregnable, and the king had no jokes, and as soon as Xiang Yan returned to China, the king of Chu sent an edict to seal him as the marquis of Chu who had promised in advance.

It's just that in recent years, the power of this Hou Ye has gradually expanded, and he has been operating in the north for a few years, and he has saved enough for the commander of a Hou Ye, but what makes the King of Chu feel at ease a little is that this Hou Ye has not crossed this thunder pool, and there are only 100,000 people under his command in recent years, but the types of troops are gradually changing, that is 100,000 heavy cavalry!

The king was suspicious, and the king of Chu had never escaped this eternal law, but after only a few years of peace of mind, he began to worry again.

On this stormy pass, the Hou Ye, who had a very poor reputation in the court, suddenly wanted to enter Beijing, which made the capital chaotic, and the general Xiang Yan entered the royal city overnight, kneeling in front of the couch of the king of Chu and waiting for the fall.

The king of Chu repelled Xiang Yan, he is naturally not stupid to be the king, Zhao Tuo entered Beijing at this time, even anyone with a discerning eye can see it, but he is not satisfied with the current rights and wants to make a fuss about the title.

At this time, the state of Chu could not withstand the civil strife, and the western state of Qin was eyeing each other, if Xiang Yan and Zhao Tuobing faced each other, the state of Qin took advantage of the chaos to attack, and the Northern Qi went south again.

Xiong Wan knew that Xiang Yan was loyal to the Chu State, but he had no good impression of the cheap Hou Ye of the Northland, if the two turned against each other, the Chu State would face a fatal blow, so for now, he couldn't annoy this Hou Ye, but he didn't have a clue at the moment, so he asked Chun Shenjun, and he only got four words: "Wait and see what happens."

But it was just these four words that made Xiong Wan feel at ease, Huang Xie has always been the most trusted strategist of the King of Chu, otherwise he would not have buttoned such a big hat as Chun Shenjun, he said that he would wait and see what happened, that is, he already had the right strategy, and when the Marquis of Bengbu entered the royal city, he just looked at Huang Xie's eyes and acted.

Zhao Tuo, who had just come out of the northern land, didn't know that the king of the Xiong clan in Wangcheng had been sad for two days because of his entry into the palace this time.

There are only two carriages coming out this time, one of which is sitting on the Hou Ye, and it is a nurse from the Zhao Mansion who drives the car, so that the second-rate master bends down to be a groom, I am afraid that only this Hou Ye in the north has such a big frame in the entire Chu land, and the chauffeur of the King of Chu is nothing more than that.

This time when he entered Beijing, Zhao Tuo was not in a hurry, passing through larger towns, and always had to stop for half a day. When you are tired of walking, you will have to go in to rest your feet.

Hou Ye is not like the brocade and silk in the house, this time he only wore a coarse cloth coat, dressed as an old peasant in the countryside, if it wasn't for the carriage, there were three entourages around him, I was afraid that it was the owner of the shop, and he would have to look down on a few points.

On this day, the carriage traveled to a teahouse in the mountains, Zhao Tuo had no intention of walking, so he got out of the car and went to the teahouse, and the nurse who drove the car followed him from a distance.

Entering the teahouse, the nursing courtyard sat at one table, and Zhao Tuo sat alone at the other table, which is the rule of the rich and noble, and the subordinate and the master are not allowed to sit at the same table.

Not far from Zhao Tuo, there were two warriors with swords, one of them was bare-chested and bearded, his body was strong, and there was a palm-wide Mo knife on the table. The other was a little thin, dressed in a green shirt, dressed as a literati, and with two embroidered short knives pinned to his waist.

The shopkeeper is a boy of eleven or twelve, when he heard that a guest came, he hurriedly came out to entertain, and saw an old farmer in rough clothes sitting on the table, but he was sluggish, and walked slowly to the front, and then asked: "Objectively drink tea?"

Zhao Tuo nodded, disappreciating Xiao Er's rude behavior, and said: "If you have wine, you will serve wine, if you don't have wine, you will serve tea, and by the way, you will get some food."

Xiao Er answered and went to ask the Zhao family's nursing home, and the nursing home only looked at Zhao Tuo and said, "It's the same as that guest."

The shopkeeper turned his head and looked at the two swordsmen not far away, with an undisguised longing in his eyes, needless to say, he was a young man with a chivalrous dream in his heart.

Zhao Tuo smiled, and was in full view of the young man, and when he fell into his eyes, it became a mockery, and when he was about to leave, he glared at the old farmer dressed as a tea guest.

The bearded knife man at the next table ate a mouthful of meat, raised his head and drank a jar of wine, and said, "Good wine!"

I heard the literati sitting next to him scold: "You idiot, after doing today's ticket, there will be wine and meat in the future, Mo Yan has missed a big deal by drinking."

The bearded knife man was very heroic, and said "It's okay", then picked up the Mo knife on the table, stepped on the wooden stool and rose into the air, the blade pointed to Zhao Tuo. At the same time, I heard him say: "Someone paid 1,000 taels to buy your head."

The swordsman didn't seem to take Zhao Tuo in his eyes, so he stabbed him straight at him, but when the blade was about to touch Zhao Tuo, an arrow shot from outside the house, the swordsman had sensitive ears, turned over and slashed the flying arrow, and landed on the side with one hand.

The literati who was sitting next to the swordsman flew out, pulled out the two short blades around his waist and held them in his hands, and a tumbling came to Zhao Tuo, but he was struck away by the nurse who came in with Zhao Tuo.

The assassin with the twin knives rolled a few times and landed firmly on the table.

Zhao Tuo was just quietly waiting for the shopkeeper to serve tea from beginning to end, like an outsider in this fight, after forcing the green-shirted assassin back in the nursing home, he just said leisurely: "My Zhao Tuo's head is only worth a thousand taels?"

There is no doubt that these two people were hired by Zhao Tuo's unpopular enemy, as for who is behind it, Zhao Tuo is not interested, and the enemy who can't even invite a decent killer is just a clown who can't get on the stage in the eyes of Hou Ye.

The two assassins had apparently not expected that such a master would be hidden next to the man dressed as an old peasant.

When they received this business, they both thought that they had made a lot of money, but it was just to assassinate an old farmer, and that person was willing to give up the sky-high price of 1,000 taels, and they didn't think so much at that time, after all, both of them were in the second-rate category and had a foothold in the rivers and lakes.

Today, I chose to shoot in the teahouse, but I wanted to make it cleaner, and when the old farmer took a seat, they both thought that a thousand taels were already in the bag.

It's just that the person next to the old farmer figured out the details as soon as he made a move, and he was actually a second-rate master like the two of him, but it was obviously more powerful than the two of him, which was a bit tricky.

Even so, he is only one person, as long as the two of them work together, it is not a problem to kill a second-rate master, and he does not intend to back down at the moment.

The big man of the Mo knife was an impatient, and when he heard Zhao Tuo's contemptuous words, he immediately swung his knife and slashed at him, and the guard of the Zhao Mansion swept to Zhao Tuo's side, blocking the bearded knife man and entangled with him.

The double-knife assassin saw that there was an opportunity, so he flew and attacked, but before he could touch Zhao Tuo, he was vigorously knocked away, and it was another guardian of the Zhao Mansion who arrived.

The double-knife assassin was in his heart, obviously he didn't expect that there was a second-rate master beside this unstellar old farmer, after a little thought, he felt that something was wrong, two of the three retinues of the old farmer were second-rate masters, so could the remaining one be too?

I have to say that this two-knife assassin is much more sensitive than the bearded knifeman, thinking of this, he immediately stopped entanglement, only said "withdraw", and took the lead in grabbing the door.

Seeing that the momentum was not right, the bearded knife man no longer entangled, turned over and slashed, and took advantage of the opportunity to avoid the courtyard to slip away. Only in the next moment, he was staggered back by a strong blow, knelt on one knee with the knife on the ground, covered his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood, and stared at the man in front of him who was slowly approaching the old peasant dressed as a frightened star.

It was Zhao Tuo who made his hand, he walked in front of Dahan like a nobody, Dahan suddenly burst out, but was slapped by Zhao Tuo, and his head exploded.

He never thought that this old farmer would be a first-class master until he died.

Zhao Tuo couldn't have killed this swordsman so easily, but the swordsman was unsuspecting of him, and seeing that the situation was not right, he only cared about running away and exposing his chest in front of Zhao Tuo, how could Zhao Tuo miss it several times? A full blow inflicted a blow on the unsuspecting swordsman.

As for the last moment of the swordsman, it was just a dying struggle, and he couldn't make it to the climate, even if Zhao Tuo let him go in the end, he wouldn't live for three days with all his internal organs torn apart.

Killed a second-rate master in two moves, and broke out in a cold sweat at the shopkeeper who was hiding behind the table and secretly watching the excitement, and couldn't help screaming, and then hurriedly covered his mouth and ran to the back of the counter to find the shopkeeper.

Not long after, the one sent by the Wu family carried the half-dead Tsing Yi assassin into the teahouse and threw it on the ground.

Zhao Tuo squatted in front of the assassin and said with a smile: "I have more than one thousand taels of heads."

The assassin was really smart, and when he was defeated by the master of the Wu family, he knew that Zhao Tuo's identity was not as simple as his employer said, so he raised his head and asked with difficulty, "Who are you?"

Zhao Tuo didn't answer his question, but asked rhetorically: "Tell me, which ant statue is trying to strangle my elephant?"

The assassin saw the sign on Zhao Tuo's waist in a trance, his pupils contracted violently, he stared at the elephant in the north, and said, "You...... Bengbu Hou? ”

As soon as the words fell, he was stabbed through the chest by a master of the Wu family.

Zhao Tuo only felt bored, so he stood up and re-done, and shouted: "Little Er, serve the wine!"
