Chapter 14: It Turned Out to Be Him
The palace is not far from the Lu Mansion, and it takes more than ten minutes to walk.
As soon as he walked to the gate of the Lu Mansion, Hua Xing saw a tall horse rushing out of the mansion and galloping towards the east quickly.
The person riding the horse was none other than the butler of the Lu Mansion - Zhao Ren.
Zhao Ren didn't know Huaxing, plus he was in a hurry, and when he saw a person at the door, he shouted "give way" and sped by, without even looking at Huaxing.
But Huaxing knew Steward Zhao.
When he asked Zhang Wan to answer the question, Hua Xing also secretly followed up with the Lu Mansion, knowing that Zhao Ren was the housekeeper in the mansion.
Seeing this person leaving the house in a hurry, Hua Xing was secretly curious, it was almost dark, where was he going?
……
Knowing that Huaxing was visiting, Lu Pu personally went out to greet him.
Seeing that Huaxing was stopped at the door, Lu Pu reprimanded the doorman on the spot, and told him that he must be released when he sees this person in the future. After that, Huaxing was introduced into the study.
"Team Hua, are you feeling better? It's not that ...... See you tomorrow morning? Lu Pu asked as he poured his tea.
Before, Huaxing refused the invitation on the grounds of a headache, but now that he is uninvited, Lu Pu will inevitably have doubts.
"Oh, it's much better. I just went back to get something. ”
After taking a sip of tea, Huaxing casually asked:
"Huh? I just saw Steward Zhao hurriedly go out, is something wrong? ”
Hearing this, Lu Pu's face was slightly stunned, and there was a line of inexplicable vigilance in his eyes, but he quickly nodded and smiled:
"Oh, I ordered him to go to the blacksmith shop outside the city to get a pair of weapons and give them to the Chinese team as a gift. He may have been afraid that the city gate would be closed and he would not be able to get out, so he hurried away. After smiling, Lu Pu quickly diverted the topic:
"Since the head doesn't hurt anymore, we two must drink two glasses later, and you can't shirk it anymore!"
After speaking, Lu Pu instructed his subordinates to prepare a table of wine and food quickly.
Huaxing came here, and there was no reason to refuse, so he nodded and agreed to the matter.
"Team Hua, you just said to pick up something? What is it? After the maid left, Lu Pu said curiously.
"What else could it be, our mission!"
As he spoke, he saw Hua Xing take out a parchment roll from his arms and spread it on the table.
Seeing this, Lu Pu quickly stepped forward, his eyes lit up, giving people the feeling of seeing a rare treasure.
"Wow! This is the legendary supercomputer? Didn't expect it to be made into a parchment roll? Fun, fun! ”
After nodding with interest, Lu Pu focused his attention on the two seal characters:
"Liu Bei? Our first target turned out to be him? ”
Speaking of this, I saw Lu Pu's brows furrowed:
"It's a problem. Liu Bei is in the coalition camp at the moment, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are guarding, it is not easy to take his life! ”
"Well, you don't know that?" Hua Xing subconsciously touched his nose.
"Don't know what?"
Liu Bei...... It's dead. ”
"What? Dead, dead? ”
Seeing that Lu Pu really didn't know, Hua Xing told the other party about him stoning Liu Bei to death.
Regarding Liu Bei's death, everyone in the coalition camp is well known.
But in Luoyang City, except for people like Dong Zhuo who have planted eyeliner in the coalition army and can get first-hand information, it is difficult for ordinary people and soldiers to know.
Moreover, in this era, Liu Bei is just a small county order, and even if he dies, there will not be much turmoil.
Therefore, Lu Pu, who was in Luoyang, did not know that Liu Bei was dead.
He only knew that someone fell from the sky and stoned someone to death, but the identity of the deceased was unknown.
"Huh? Liu Bei was actually ...... by the captain Stoned? Isn't this a coincidence? After an exclamation, I heard Lu Pu say again:
"So, our first mission has been accomplished? The captain is really extraordinary! Ha ha! ”
After smiling, Lu Pu seemed to remember something again, and pointed to the parchment scroll and said:
"Since Liu Bei is dead, why hasn't the computer been updated?"
"Update?"
Hearing these two words, Huaxing was at a loss.
"That's right! After the target dies, the computer will re-deduce the next mission objective based on the current historical data. I remember the manual saying that. ”
"Is that so? Look at my head, I fell a little, I don't remember such an important thing, hehe. After laughing awkwardly, Huaxing asked for the second time:
"How many missions are there?"
"I don't know." Lu Pu shook his head and replied:
"All I know is that the experts put the end goal into the computer. The computer will compare in real time, and as long as the conditions are not met, it will continue to release tasks until the historical direction is completely consistent with the goal. ”
Seeing that Hua Xing's eyebrows were tightly locked, and he seemed to be a little worried about the "never-ending" task, Lu Pu hurriedly said:
"However, I remember the R&D team leader said that there are only about 100 tasks at most. For us, it's a year or two, and then we can go home. ”
Hearing the word "go home", Huaxing, who should have been excited, was not excited, but sighed secretly.
Because he couldn't remember where his home was, and he didn't know if there were any family members waiting for him to return.
For him, "going home" is also at a loss.
Seeing that the captain was silent, Lu Pu thought that Huaxing had other concerns, so he spoke:
"Don't worry, captain, when the mission is over, the supercomputer will automatically start the 'go home' program, and someone will pick us up at that time."
"Oh, that's right......"
Nodding with a forced smile, Hua Xing ended the topic, and turned his attention to the parchment scroll, groping for the word Liu Bei while sighing:
"The first task was completed in a daze, and I don't know if the next task will ......"
But before Hua Xing finished speaking, I don't know if the parchment scroll understood their words, or if it was pure coincidence, I saw a white light flash, and the word "Liu Bei" disappeared under their noses!
Just when the two of them were amazed, the white light on the scroll reappeared, and two completely different seal characters appeared.
After reading the words on the volume, Hua Xing and Lu Pu raised their eyebrows, and said in unison: "It's him!" ”
……
After the meal, Huaxing returned to the palace alone.
As soon as he returned to the small courtyard, he unconsciously remembered the person on the roll, and his eyes showed hesitation.
Because of the person shown in the parchment scroll, he not only knew, but also saw it with his own eyes two days ago, it was the owner of this small courtyard - Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo is notoriously cruel and mediocre, and Huaxing has no good impression of this person.
But Dong Zhuo just saved his life a few days ago, and he deliberately recruited him afterwards, not only gave him a house to live in, but also arranged for a maid to serve.
Although such preferential treatment is not Huaxing's initiative to ask, but as the saying goes, eating people with a soft mouth and short hands is short, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't repay it, but now he wants him to turn his head and assassinate the other party, Huaxing will feel a little guilty and uneasy.
Therefore, at the dinner party in the Lu Mansion, when the other party asked him when he would do it, Huaxing temporarily suppressed the matter under the excuses of the other party's "special status" and "well-guarded", and planned to go back and think carefully before making a decision.
