But what they didn't expect was that they had already taken poison, and before they reached Ling Yin's mansion, they had already died of poison.

"It's clear that they're being taken advantage of. thought that framing Lichun Courtyard was just a trivial matter. Unexpectedly, the people who hired them had already poisoned them. In the Yin Mansion, Lu Bu broke through the mystery in one word.

"The Lord is reasonable, and it can be seen that the person with ill intentions does not want to reveal his identity." Zhang Pan said.

Looking at the two corpses lying on the ground, Zhang Hu asked, "Is this matter still investigated?" ”

"Of course I have to check." Lu Budao: "What are you Ling Yin Mansion doing? Isn't it just to investigate the case, this is all fatal, and the case is not filed for investigation? ”

Zhang Pan and Zhang Hu looked upright.

Zhang Pan said: "Don't worry, our lord, we will solve the case in the shortest possible time." ”

"Hmm."

Lu Bu didn't dwell on this matter. The Lichunin incident, at best, was a revenge by the princes, a troublemaker, or peer competition, and it was no big deal.

He still has a lot of things to do, and he doesn't have the energy to care about these trivial things.

After leaving Ling Yin's Mansion, Lu Bu took Li Yuanba out of the city and headed for the Purple Mountain, three hundred miles away.

Purple Mountain, also known as Bagong Mountain, is the barrier of the northern and southern borders of Huai, its mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, the peaks and peaks are stacked and green, the clear springs are dense, and there are forty peaks in one vein, all of which are charming scenery.

During the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the famous Battle of Weishui took place here.

With 80,000 soldiers, the Jin State defeated 800,000 elites of the former Qin in exchange for decades of peace.

It can be seen that the Zijin Mountain Range is also a place where soldiers must fight.

Lu Bu is not here for fun. A few months ago, he asked Nie Zheng to form a shadow, and gave Nie Zheng another 30 million copper coins. According to the news from Nie Zheng, the base of the Shadow Killer is located on the Purple Mountain.

Lu Bu wants to see for himself what the Shadow Killer built with 30 million copper coins looks like.

In order not to reveal his whereabouts, Lu Bu didn't even bring a single Dragon Guard soldier, and after leaving the city, he ran all the way to the Purple Mountain. Even if someone finds out that he is out of town, they will definitely not be able to catch him.

At noon on the second day, Lu Bu and Li Yuanba rushed to the foot of the Purple Mountain.

I saw a lot of officers and soldiers in front of me, as well as young and strong people, holding flat poles, firewood knives, bows and arrows, ready to go up the mountain.

Lu Bu was puzzled, and stepped forward to ask: "Dare to ask Brother Tai, are there bandits on the Purple Mountain?" ”

"Worse than a bandit!" A strong man in his early forties, holding a firewood knife in his hand, glanced at Lu Bu and Li Yuanba, and asked, "Are you outsiders?" ”

"Yes, we're going to go to the mountains." Lu Bu casually lied.

"But don't go up, there are beasts on the mountain. Many of our villagers have been eaten by wild beasts. ”

Lu Bu thought about it, the so-called beast must be Nie Zheng's shadow killer. Nie Zheng was worried about the leakage of the Shadow Base, and anyone who tried to go up the mountain would definitely be killed, even if it was innocent people.

"Who are you?" An officer and soldier walked over and asked Lu Bu and Li Yuanba.

Looking at his outfit, he should be the county lieutenant of Yicheng County.

Lu Bu replied: "We are here to play. ”

"Play? There are beasts on the mountain, so hurry up. ”

"Okay, let's leave." Lu Bu glanced at him and said with a smile: "I hope that your government can eliminate the beasts as soon as possible and eliminate the harm for the people." ”

"Do you still have to say that?" The county lieutenant snorted coldly and left with the villagers.

Lu Bu and Li Yuanba found a place to hide first, and waited for the soldiers and villagers of Yicheng County to go up the mountain before slowly following.

The mountain trail is steep and extremely difficult to walk.

In the evening, I climbed halfway up the mountain.

Many people were tired and rested in place, eating the dry food they had brought.

Lu Bu and Li Yuanba also found a relatively hidden place to rest.

Just as they sat down to enjoy and let their guard down, the so-called 'beast' finally arrived!

Hmmm...

Four black-clothed men appeared, stabbing Lu Bu and Li Yuanba's throats with lightning speed.

Bell, bell, bell...

Lu Bu's eyes were cold, and he was the first to react, grabbing the hilt of the Qingyu Sword with his left hand and sweeping over. Cut off the swords of the four men in black.

Li Yuanba stood up angrily, grabbed the hilt of the sword, and shot continuously. First, he picked up and picked a man in black to the tree. Left foot side kick and kick one. In the end, there were two left, and they were swept away by the hilt of the Qingyu Sword.

"Yuanba, stop..." Lu Bu just remembered that the man in black is a shadow, and killing a shadow is not killing his own people. However, Li Yuanba acted too quickly, and before he could stop it, it was already over.

There is no doubt that the four men in black all fell to the ground and died!

"Yuanba. Wait until you meet the men in black again, and don't hurt their lives. ”

"Why? Aren't they enemies? Li Yuanba scratched his head, very incomprehensible.

"Don't ask why, just do what I say." Lu Bu did not explain.

"Well, I listen to my father." Li Yuanba didn't ask much.

At this time, Lu Bu turned around and looked at the place where the officers and soldiers and the villagers were resting. Suddenly, I found that 30 soldiers and more than 60 villagers had all fallen to the ground, and there were fifteen black-clothed men cleaning the battlefield.

"Damn, so fast?!" Lu Bu was taken aback.

Counting from the beginning of the battle to the present, it only took a few breaths, and nearly 100 people were assassinated, and there was no sound.

"There are two more over there. Go get them out. A man in black ripped off his scarf, revealing a face with Chinese characters, pointed in the direction where Lu Bu and Li Yuanba were, and ordered.

"No."

Immediately, all the people in black rushed towards Lu Bu and Li Yuanba.

"Yuanba, remember, don't hurt their lives." Lu Bu advised again.

"Well, the kid remembers."

Lu Bu returned the Qingyu Sword to Li Yuanba and picked up a broken sword from the ground.

The two walked out of the mountain col and fearlessly faced the fourteen men in black who rushed in.

Bell, bell, bell...

Bang bang!!

It was only ten breaths, and the fourteen men in black were all beaten down, lying on the ground and wailing.

There was also a man in black standing in the distance, when he saw Lu Bu and Li Yuanba, his face was shocked, he quickly threw away the sword in his hand, walked over, and knelt down to salute more than two zhang away: "Subordinate Nie Zheng, meet the lord." ”

He didn't dare to step forward with his sword, for fear of being misunderstood and killing the king.

"I don't know that the lord is coming, I act recklessly, please forgive the lord." Nie Zheng's heart was very worried. The Shadow Killer he formed has a large number of people, and he hasn't consulted Lu Bu, so whether it will work or not.

Originally, I thought that when Lu Bu made his rounds, he would explain it well. How could he have thought that before Lu Bu could inspect, he would fight with Lu Bu first. This kind of behavior is not an exaggeration to condemn to death!

He raised his head, glanced at Lu Bu and Li Yuanba, and saw that neither of them was injured, so he felt a little relieved, but he was still afraid that Lu Bu would blame him, so he knelt on the ground and didn't dare to get up.
