The cold air in the early morning is a bit heavy, and there are occasional pedestrians on the street hurrying by, although there is a war, but the impact on the life in the city is actually not great, the real problem is that the people are worried about how the Cao army will treat them if they come in, and there are also some people who have stayed in Mocheng for a long time, and they will bring food to the city wall every day to comfort the soldiers of Mocheng.

Zhou Ben walked on the street with an ugly face, looking around vigilantly, any wind and grass could startle him.

No way, since last night, he has been unlucky, once or twice can be said to be a matter of luck, but flat wrestling, no matter what falls, it can always be smashed on his head, when the birds fly by, there will always be some special feelings, give him some special gifts, these things continue to happen, Zhou Ben also doubts that he is getting into something unclean at the moment.

Although the guards and generals beside him were following Zhou Ben at the moment, if you look closely, you will find that these people are the closest, and they are also a few steps away from Zhou Ben, and they also look nervous, it doesn't feel like a guard, but like a tracker.

Although it was a subconscious move, the performance of these people also made Zhou Ben's face darker.

"This damn Ink City!" Zhou Ben looked at the surrounding scenery at the moment, and only felt that nothing was pleasing to the eye, as if he had not had anything smooth since he came to this ink city.

"Ouch~" An elderly man was on the way, I don't know if he was frightened by Zhou Ben's expression, or if he was careless, he fell in front of Zhou Ben and blocked Zhou Ben's way.

"Get out!" Zhou Ben was in a bad mood, and he didn't have any respect for the old and the young at the moment, and when he saw someone falling, he kicked out impatiently, so he wanted to kick the old man away and continue to move forward.

As a military general, he is naturally powerful, this kick is angry, if you want to kick it really, don't say that the old man is in the prime of life, this kick down, if you don't die, you have to leave half a life, but the old man on the ground who originally looked slow to move suddenly became flexible, and at the moment when the other party kicked out, he suddenly rolled on the spot, and at the same time avoided it, his hands suddenly reached out, and he hugged the other party's ankles.

"Puff~"

In a muffled sound, Zhou Ben only felt a cold leg, and then a heart-piercing pain swept through his body in an instant, and the old man had a short sword in his hand at some point, and at the moment of hugging the other party's ankle, the short sword pierced directly into Zhou Ben's calf.

"Whew~" In the heart-rending scream, Zhou Ben struggled to retract his legs, sat down on the ground, pointed at the man dressed as an old man and shouted: "Kill me!" ”

Almost at the same time, several figures came out from one side, each holding a short sword or a short knife, ignoring the guards who pounced on him when they saw this, and slashed at Zhou Ben, who was sitting on the ground.

The smell of blood permeated the somewhat empty streets, and the originally scattered pedestrians around had already avoided after hearing the screams here, so as not to get into trouble.

Poor Zhou Ben can also be regarded as a general under Liu Qi, but at this moment, he died in the hands of a few assassins, and the generals and guards in the rear surrounded those assassins, some people went to the barracks to call people, and some people went to the direction of the government office, so that Liu Yi could deal with the matter, and the scene was a mess.

……

"Dead!?" Liu Yi was also surprised when he heard the news of Zhou Ben's death, the attributes he gave him didn't have such a powerful effect, right?

"Yes, my general was going to the city to support Mr. today, but I don't know when many assassins appeared in the city, and they suddenly assassinated in the middle of the road, and my general was assassinated by those thieves on the street without checking!" The one who came to report the news was a general, and the assassin was also sad and questioned.

When Liu Yi heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, although he knew that Zhou Ben would be unlucky, but this assassin should not be regarded as Zhu Ji, but he remembered the Cao Jun meticulous works that mixed in, and wanted to investigate secretly, but during this time, first Cao Ren, then Xiahou Xuan, and then Cao Jun's army attacked, so Liu Yi didn't have time to care about these meticulous works, but he strengthened the guards around him, and did not give these meticulous works a chance to take advantage of.

It's just that......

"I remember that General Zhou was flanked by a large number of guards when he went in and out, and even if he suddenly attacked, a few assassins should not have been able to assassinate him!" Liu Yi looked at the general suspiciously.

There are only a dozen guards on his side every day, and he doesn't dare to do those meticulous work, and there are more people around him this week, and he is also a general, why is it so bad.

"This ......," the general didn't know what to say.

Could it be that Zhou Ben was so unlucky in the past two days that they unconsciously distanced themselves from Zhou Ben, causing them to have no time to rescue in time when the assassin appeared, and the assassin's appearance was too tricky, so that Zhou Ben fell into the way?

This is tantamount to saying that they are not in a good position.

Liu Yi glanced at the general, probably guessed something, and didn't ask any more questions, just stood up and said, "Have those assassins been captured?" ”

"I've been captured." The general nodded.

"Let's go check it out!" Liu Yi got up, he had ordered Wei Yue to lead people to set up ships along the river to attack and harass the flanks of the Cao army, to support Zhao Yun, the Cao army outside the city did not attack the city, he was very idle today, just to see Zhou Ben's matter, Zhou Ben died, this is a good thing, but the other party died in Mocheng, if this is really investigated, there is still responsibility, what he is most worried about is that Jiang Xiajun will count Zhou Ben's death on his head, that is not a good thing, public and private, at this time he can not avoid.

Those meticulous assassins were not professional, they just wanted to relieve some pressure for the Cao army outside, so they decided to assassinate Zhou Ben, and the process was unexpectedly smooth, but after the assassination, it was too late to escape, Zhou Ben's personal guards and the Jiangxia soldiers who were later killed from the barracks surrounded them, and there was no time and opportunity to escape, when Liu Yi arrived at the scene, there were only two alive, and they were all dying.

Liu Yi glanced at Zhou Ben's corpse, he saw the corpse now, and his reaction was not so big, seeing Zhou Ben's corpse at this moment, not only did he not feel uncomfortable, but he had a dark feeling, but his face was sad, and he sighed: "How can this be!?" ”

Jiang Xia soldiers obviously didn't buy it, Liu Yi's previous worries were not unreasonable, this week Ben died in Mocheng, plus the two sides were not happy before, it is easy to think that Liu Yi was dissatisfied with Zhou Ben and secretly sent someone to assassinate him, after all, this is Mocheng, it is easy for Liu Yi to do this.

The crux of the problem is still in these Cao Jun meticulous works, how to make these people open their mouths to admit their identities, and to make Jiangxia soldiers believe that this is a problem.
