After Luo Zhaoyun summoned Zhong Lixuan, he initially achieved his political goals, so that he persuaded his brother Zhong Lishu, who guarded Jincheng County, to get more than 20,000 Qiang people, and after attaching himself to him, he could absorb more small tribes to defect, so that the name of benevolence and righteousness spread far and wide, and then build an elite of the Hu tribe for charging into battle.

This Zhong Lixuan has some talents, if this matter is done, he can be entrusted with an important task and send him back to the Minshan area, plot against more Qiang people, and take refuge in the jurisdiction of Luo Shuaifu, so as to prepare for him to control the land of Bashu in the future.

There are many advantages of occupying Bashu, one is that it can control the granary Shu Road in Xijing, and the other is that it can go south along the Yangtze River to make arrangements for the future attack on the Xiao Liang regime, Lin Shihong's Dachu regime, and the forces of Du Fuwei and Fu Gongtuo.

In short, this is a big game of chess, and the people in the world are born as chess pieces, playing with many heroes.

The night was deep, and the clouds were rolling, obscuring the starlight and the waning moon.

The night breeze in the frontier land, even in the middle of summer, feels a little cool at night.

Luo Zhaoyun has been busy drafting new rules with the strategists these days, discussing with the generals about training and deploying troops, and there are many things such as business, land, mining, and defense lines, which need to be decided by him.

Fortunately, he has a martial arts foundation, so much pressure, his body can still eat, walk out of the courtyard, breathe the cold wind of the night, refreshed, fight outside, without the company of his wife, red sleeves add fragrance, it is inevitable that he is a little lonely, and his energy can only be used to fight for hegemony and practice martial arts.

"Young marshal, it's not early, it's time to rest." Ling Yu, the head of the guard, stepped forward to remind.

Luo Zhaoyun nodded slightly, it was close to midnight, it was time to rest, otherwise staying up late for a long time would be easy to lose blood and affect his physique, and there would be a lot of things to deal with tomorrow.

He turned around and went to the backyard, accompanied by several personal guards, escorting the young marshal.

At this moment, suddenly a figure flew down from the crown of a sycamore tree, with a bang, the sword light flashed, the cold air was dissipated, and someone wanted to assassinate the young marshal.

"There are assassins!" Ling Yu reacted and shouted loudly, and at the same time drew his horizontal knife and surrounded the young marshal with several guards behind him.

The black shadow's body was fluttering, his light skills were extremely high, and his volley was like an eagle descending in the air, and his sword was like lightning.

Dangdang!

The blades fought, Ling Yu and the others had a few rounds, and all the weapons were shattered by the opponent's sword, and some people were slightly injured.

Luo Zhaoyun's eyes narrowed, he felt that the opponent's martial arts were superb, and he had practiced the innate Gang Qi, and the reason why he was able to cut off the guard's weapon in an instant was because the assassin used the invisible sword qi.

This is a powerful swordsman in the rivers and lakes, who can avoid such a tight defense of the General's Mansion, and appears on the sycamore tree in the courtyard with a clear whistle and a secret whistle, so close to the distance, it is enough to show that this person is extraordinary.

"Bang bang bang-"

The black shadow assassin seemed to be merciful, but he just used his legs and palms to knock several guards back to the ground, and lost his ability to fight for a while.

The guards in the distance were rushing this way, the torches were swaying, and the crossbowmen also stood up from the eaves and picked up the crossbows.

Luo Zhaoyun's face was calm, no matter how high this assassin's martial arts were, even if he was in the realm of the grandmaster of the 'Taoist Water Division', it was absolutely impossible to stab himself to death in a short period of time, not to mention the appearance of the guards and crossbow archers around him, and the assassin would lose his flow for a while, and the danger factor would increase.

But the assassin was indifferent, took advantage of this gap, and stabbed Luo Zhaoyun with a persistent attack.

"What a guts!" Luo Zhaoyun grabbed a horizontal knife from the guard's hand, which was roughly the same as the sword, and launched a swordsmanship, facing the opponent, as long as he dragged the assassin, the opponent would be surrounded by a long time, and it would be difficult to fly.

Qiang Qiang Qiang –

Luo Zhaoyun unfolded his skills, the sword light was like a rainbow, and the sword moves were stacked, blocking the opponent's killing moves.

However, after more than ten rounds, Luo Zhaoyun noticed the familiarity of this person's sword path, and the other party's body was slender and had the fragrance of a woman.

Suddenly, he vaguely guessed who the assassin was.

"Sure enough, it was you, who got the Juggernaut Codex." The woman spoke, her voice was delicate and pleasant, it was the female heir of the Mending Heaven Pavilion, Ye Junyao.

"Who are you, and why did you assassinate Ben Shuai?" Luo Zhaoyun pretended not to know, and asked coldly.

Ye Junyao's tentative purpose was achieved, she no longer attacked, her body fluttered, and she retreated directly and wanted to leave.

"Shoot the arrows!" Seeing that the assassin was about to flee, Ling Yu ordered the arrows to be released, and suddenly the crossbow machine shot violently, and hundreds of arrows roared out.

Ye Junyao urged the internal force, picked up the sword flower, and quickly formed a layer of sword qi around her body, and the arrows she shot were either swept away by the sword qi, or they were swept out by the sword, but they didn't hit her.

However, the crossbow machine is a chain crossbow, there is no need to pause like an archer, and it does not need to pull the bow to wind up to delay time, so the swishing and killing streak makes it difficult for Ye Junyao to get out for a while.

The men of the thirty-six Iron Guards surrounded him to capture the assassin alive.

At this time, suddenly a strong light flashed, Ye Junyao threw out the lead and mercury gunpowder, which had the function of instantly glowing, the guards and crossbow archers were dazzled by the strong light, Ye Junyao took the opportunity to jump up, his body was like a swallow copying water, and he pointed at the crown of the tree to borrow his strength, and then the figure swept out more than ten meters again, turning over the wall of the inner courtyard.

Although there are still guards in the outer courtyard who are alarmed, but the black light is blinding, and the guards in the outer courtyard can block such a level of master.

"No need to chase." Luo Zhaoyun knew who it was, and also guessed the intention, this female heir of the Mending Heaven Pavilion, or guessed his relationship with the sword spectrum, this time he came to the northwest, it should be for him, tonight is not really to stab him to death, but to test his reality, I believe that in two days, she will come to visit the Shuai Mansion in an open and honest manner, and when the time comes, it will be on behalf of the Mending Heaven Pavilion, and no one in the world dares to touch her easily.

Ling Yu and the others didn't look good, with annoyance, because they didn't protect them well just now, if it weren't for the young marshal's superb martial arts and being able to block it, they would all be derelict in their duties.

"Redouble your defenses, you can't let the assassins get close to the inner house, and the conspiracy succeeds." Ling Yu turned around and scolded the captains of the guards.

"Whoa!" The crowd answered.

"In the entire rivers and lakes, there are not many masters like this, no wonder you this time, but it is still important to strengthen the defense, in addition, recruit chemical warriors from the outside to form a special guard team to prevent this kind of assassination in the rivers and lakes." Luo Zhaoyun also paid attention to it, the Luo family has sprung up, although it has risen very quickly in the northwest, but after all, the foundation is too shallow, it is not a big clan, and it lacks the support of the clansmen.

The entire Luo family's forces are almost entirely around Luo Zhaoyun alone, once he has an accident, the Luo family's power group will immediately collapse, which makes Luo Zhaoyun more aware that his own safety is particularly important, and that it is necessary to recruit more scholars and talents as soon as possible, to draw up the political power team, and standardize the system, so as to stabilize the counties and operate smoothly.
