Chapter 265: The royal court is in turmoil

"Zhaohime, you've come just in time, I'm going to borrow something from you." Chen Wu looked at Cai Wenji and said.

"Zilie, what do you want to borrow?" Cai Wenji asked, now that he and Chen Wu are reunited, Chen Wu told him a lot of things that happened in the Central Plains, Cai Wenji didn't feel depressed these days, and the two became good friends.

Chen Wu pointed to the jade ring hanging from Cai Wenji's waist, and Cai Wenji did not hesitate to give the jade ring to Chen Wu, although this jade ring was very precious to her. Chen Wu took the jade ring and Cao Liang out of the inn at night, and according to the introduction of the guy, Chen Wu found that place, which was located in the mansion of the Han envoy Zhonglang General on the periphery of the big tent. This mansion was one of the few Central Plains mansions in the royal court, Chen Wu recognized it at a glance, and he and Cao Liang came to the back of the mansion and quietly sneaked in.

This Han envoy Zhonglang General had limited troops, nominally to protect Shan Yu's safety, but the Han army stationed in the royal court did not exceed 100 people, and most of them stayed in Shan Yu's big tent, and the defense of Zhonglang General's mansion was not so tight.

Chen Wu looked around the courtyard and found a guard who was lazily leaning against a pillar. Seeing that there was no one around, Chen Wu stepped forward and pressed the short sword against his throat, and the cold touch made him wake up. Looking at Chen Wu, an uninvited guest, he couldn't help but touch his waist knife.

"You dare to move!" Chen Wu said in a deep voice, and the strength of the short sword in his hand also strengthened a little.

"Brave men spare their lives!" The guard whispered in fright.

"Where does Hu Chi'er live?"

"Vice General Hu lives in the big tent on weekdays, and he doesn't live here!"

"Where's the middle general?"

"General Zhonglang is also not in the mansion, he just received an invitation from the leader of the Xiongnu Attila tribe to go out." The guard looked at the short sword in Chen Wu's hand and didn't dare to hide a word.

"Let me ask you, have the envoys sent by the imperial court ever been here?"

"I've been here, and I left after meeting with General Nakaro."

"When?"

"Three days ago."

Chen Wu thought for a moment, glanced at the guard with a cold look, and stabbed out the short sword in his hand. Chen Wu and Cao Liang carried the guard's body out, telling him to hide in the vicinity and keep an eye on his surroundings while he ran to the nearest street. A large number of Hun soldiers patrolled the streets, these were Liu Bao's troops, Chen Wu deliberately said that the footsteps were amplified, and the heavy footsteps immediately attracted their attention. As they chased after them, the footsteps became softer, and they saw only a large figure flashing by.

"Stop!" The Huns pursued and chased to the corner of a house, and Chen Wu quickly fled with light skills.

"Oops!" A Hun soldier tripped over something on the ground, and he reached out and touched it, his hands covered with viscous liquid. A smell of blood filled the mouth and nose. By the light of the torches, they saw a Han soldier dead on the ground.

They immediately reported the matter to Liu Bao, who thought that it was better for him to cause less trouble, so he was ready to tell the Han envoy Zhonglang General about the matter. Just as he was about to go back, there was a fierce fight in the distance, and Liu Bao took it over to see what was going on.

Unexpectedly, the group rushed directly towards him, "Take them down!" More than a dozen Hun soldiers rushed up and blocked the way of these people.

"Get out of the way, Zhonglang will act, and if you don't dodge away, I'm welcome." It turned out that these people were the soldiers of General Zhonglang's mansion, and they were just about to come out to arrest the murderer who attacked General Zhonglang's mansion, but who knew that this murderer was very familiar with the royal court and soon disappeared.

A large number of Hun soldiers rushed up, and the two sides were about to have friction, Liu Bao shouted at them: "Stop me!" ”

"It turned out to be King Zuo Xian, I don't know what is the important matter for King Zuo Xian to come here late at night?" Nakaro asked the small leader of the mansion.

"Who am I, why are the men and horses of General Zhonglang's mansion running rampant on the street late at night with swords in hand?" Liu Bao was in charge of the royal court's guards, and he had the right to ask.

"We are chasing the thieves who attacked General Zhonglang's mansion." The little leader replied.

"I don't know what the murderer looks like, the royal court has a curfew right now, and this king can help you arrest the murderer."

"No need, let me wait to arrest myself, as long as King Zuo Xian doesn't cover up!"

Liu Bao reprimanded angrily: "Presumptuous, you are the captain of the guard of the first lieutenant general, dare to accuse King Zuo Xian to your face!" ”

"Really? Shall I talk about it? A deep male voice came through the night.

"Admiral Nakaro!" The captain of the guard and his brethren shouted in unison.

A middle-aged general, accompanied by several guards, came to Liu Bao's side. Zhonglang asked one of Han Feng's subordinates to explain to Liu Bao: "At midnight, I was waiting for the guard in the mansion, and I heard movement in the back hall, and when we arrived, we found that someone had sneaked into the adult's study. Two guards in the study were killed, and another body was found in the back garden, when we found a man in black who was about to escape, and immediately chased after him. The blade in this man's hand was quite sharp, and he cut off several of my weapons one after another, and then disappeared in the way. When we chased after us, we were blocked by Zuo Xianwang's subordinates! ”

"King Zuo Xian, it seems that this person's background is not small. The blade that can cut off my guards is not something ordinary forces can make! Han Feng took the broken knife handed by his subordinates and handed it to Liu Bao.

Liu Bao glanced at the broken knife, and had to say: "There are indeed not many such blades in the royal court!" ”

"King Zuo Xian is in charge of the security of the royal court, and the arsenal is naturally among them. I wonder if there is such a sharp blade in it? Han Feng looked at Liu Bao and smiled.

"It seems that Nakaro will insist that the murderer who attacked the mansion has something to do with me?" Liu Bao snorted coldly and said.

At this time, Liu Bao's subordinates came to report, and Liu Bao smiled at Han Feng: "Lord Zhonglang, the body of the Han man has been found, let's go and see it together?" ”

Two groups of people came to an alley, and at the end of the alley, a corpse lay on the ground.

"My lord, he is the guard of the mansion, and he is on duty in the back garden tonight!"

"King Zuoxian, now that four people have been killed in my house, I will report this matter to the court and the court!" Han Feng said to Liu Bao.

Liu Bao nodded, walked over to the corpse, and suddenly a bright color came into his eyes. Liu Bao found a jade ring from his body, "Lord Zhonglang, I don't know why the guards in your mansion have my concubine's jade ring?" ”

"What?" Han Feng was taken aback, and he didn't know why this jade ring appeared on the corpse of his hand.

"Do it!" A low Chinese voice suddenly sounded in the alley, and then a series of arrows flew towards Liu Bao. Liu Bao has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he is always vigilant, he pulled the two soldiers in front of him to block the arrows for him, and then ran back quickly.

When the soldiers behind Liu Bao saw that their companions were attacked, they immediately slashed their weapons at Zhonglang General Han Feng and several of his guards. Chen Wu aimed the crossbow arrow at Han Feng and shot it, and he was shot through the back of the head on the spot. Zhonglang killed Han Feng, and the two groups of soldiers and horses fought fiercely together.

After Hu Chi'er got the news that Han Feng had been attacked and killed, he immediately returned from Shan Yu's big tent with his team, and he led people to the alley, where one of the surviving soldiers stretched out his finger and passed out. Hu Chi'er hurriedly asked people to carry him back for treatment, and when the man woke up, he told Hu Chi'er about their fight with Zuo Xianwang.

Hu Chi'er felt that things were a bit big, Xuchang was too busy to take care of himself, Cao Cao was still busy fighting Yuan Shao, and their Han envoy Zhonglang would be killed on the territory of the Huns, and Cao Cao couldn't manage it even if he wanted to. For now, he had no choice but to go to Shan Yu Hu Chuquan.

"Da Shan Yu, General Zhonglang was attacked and killed!" Hu Chi'er rushed directly to Huchuquan's camp to report.

"What! Who is so bold? Hu Chuquan was shocked.

"According to the witnesses, King Zuo Xian is a major suspect!" Hu Chi'er replied.

"Invite the tribal leaders to discuss the matter!" Hu Chuquan said to a confidant beside him.

Hu Chuquan told the leaders of the tribes the details, and everyone asked King Zuo Xian to confront him, Hu Chi'er said: "I have sent someone to invite King Zuo Xian, but the whole guard is heavily guarded, and I can't see King Zuo Xian." The entire royal court is the most powerful of King Zuoxian, and all the leaders must know it! ”

"Yes, King Zuo Xian has taken advantage of the attack on the camp of the guards and the robbery of his concubine, and has transferred a large army into the royal court, which has already posed a great threat to us. It seems that he didn't take Shan Yu seriously at all! The patriarch of the Helian clan said.
