"Defu, in fact, I want to ask you to help me do something!"

Outside the mansion of Sima Sun Qian, Liu Mingyi, who was about to return to the camp to handle the handover matters, was stopped by Chen Deng, and behind Chen Deng was Chen Deng's general, Zheng Wei.

"Oh, what does the gentleman have to do?"

Liu Mingyi was a little puzzled, but he still planned to listen to Chen Deng's words first. This is also something that can't be helped, Liu Mingyi, who has lost his memory, doesn't want to lose any opportunity to verify what killed him, so he is cautious about anything that happens.

"Actually, this is the case, when you pass by Mount Tai this time, can you help me find a place by the way."

"This ......"

It's not that Liu Mingyi is unwilling, but this mission is different from touring the mountains and rivers, and where is the opportunity to do extra things, so when he listened to Chen Deng's request, he subconsciously wanted to refuse.

"Defu doesn't need to be in a hurry."

Chen Deng seemed to see through Liu Mingyi's thoughts, he grabbed Liu Mingyi and said before he refused, "This matter is just a matter of passing the way, if the timing is right, you can help me find out." ”

Well, Chen Dengdu said that it was difficult for Liu Mingyi to refuse, not to mention that he was also worried about whether he would be in danger because of his previous refusal.

"Okay, I'll see how things go. But can you tell me, sir, why you are alone with me in this matter? ”

Since he agreed half-pushed, Liu Mingyi wanted to at least figure out the ins and outs of the matter.

"Defu doesn't have to ask, I have a point."

Chen Deng was reluctant to explain too much.

"Well, then the gentleman can always tell me what the name of that place is and where it is, right?"

Liu Mingyi's heart was a little unhappy, which seemed to be asking him for help.

"That's nature, this place is called Juxian Valley, but I just know that this place is in the Taishan group, but I don't know exactly where it is."

Get! After asking for a long time, Liu Mingyi didn't know anything except the name of the place, which made him feel angry that he was played by Chen Deng.

"Sir, don't make fun of me, how can there be such a reason to entrust someone to do things."

"Defomo should be angry, I can promise you that I will give you a generous enough reward after the deed."

As if expecting Liu Mingyi to be angry, Chen Deng did not waver in the slightest, he stretched out his hand and took a cloth bag from Zheng Wei, who had been standing behind him, and handed it to Liu Mingyi, "There are ten gold here, which is counted as an advance for you to do things, and if the matter is done, there will be heavy thanks." ”

Oh, Liu Mingyi took the cloth bag from Chen Deng's hand, originally he was very reluctant to accept this than finance because of Chen Deng's previous attitude, but after thinking about it, he was really penniless since he came to this world, since people are willing to give money, they don't accept it for nothing, but he doesn't know what the concept of ten gold is in this world.

Chen Deng saw that Liu Mingyi accepted the money he advanced, and knew that even if Liu Mingyi was unhappy, the matter was settled, so he pointed to Zheng Wei behind him.

"Defu, the reason why Zheng Wei will follow him on this mission is actually to find Juxian Valley, so if there is anything along the way, you can discuss with Zheng Wei, and he will definitely cooperate with you."

Liu Mingyi set his eyes on Zheng Wei behind Chen Deng, except for the time when he handed over the money bag just now, this Zheng Wei almost didn't make any moves, but Liu Mingyi couldn't ignore the existence of the other party, after all, the muscles on the other party's exposed arms bulged all the time to declare his strength all the time. Hearing Chen Deng's instructions, Zheng Wei stretched out his hands and made a series of respectful faces, and Liu Mingyi also hurriedly returned the salute, but his heart suddenly moved, maybe he could make good use of this Zheng Wei.

After the two sides were done, they dispersed, and Liu Mingyi went directly out of the city to the camp where the army under his jurisdiction was stationed, and Zheng Wei also returned to Chen's mansion with Chen Deng.

Soon after the solstice, the people of the mission who had finished their affairs gathered together again, and soon the small team led by Sun Qian, Liu Mingyi and others left the base camp Xuzhou, and set off towards Taishan County, along the way there were also Liu Bei's generals who were ready to fully receive Xuzhou, as the team gradually approached the north, the whole team was only left with the mission and the men led by Guan Yu. In fact, during this process, Liu Mingyi has been on guard, but unfortunately so far, he has not seen any signs that may make him die.

Further ahead is Yangcheng, out of Yangcheng is Taishan County, and it is also the last town before entering Taishan. At this time, it has passed the time of application, I have to say that Liu Mingyi's marching speed is still very fast, which mainly depends on Liu Mingyi's military horses ridden, these military horses are majestic and handsome in the army, the foot strength is extremely fast and endurance, and there is rarely a time to stop and rest along the way.

"Sun Sima, there is Yang City ahead, we might as well rest in this city, and it can also be used as the last supply before the trek."

The closer he got to Mount Tai, the more apprehensive Liu Mingyi's heart became, and he had a feeling that this Mount Tai Road might be his fate.

"Defu is right, but this mission is a long way away, and time is pressing, we can cross Mount Tai and rest in Beihai County."

Sun Qian naturally didn't know what Liu Mingyi was thinking, he thought about it for a while, but still rejected his proposal.

Liu Mingyi saw that Sun Qian didn't move, so he looked at everyone again, Jin Ming was talking with Guan Yu's generals at the moment, and it could be seen from the expressions of the two that the two had talked happily along the way. Zheng Wei followed silently without saying a word, while Lu Ke ......

Well? Liu Mingyi found that Lu Ke had been at the end of the line all along, and he was looking around at the moment and didn't know what he was looking at. Lu Ke obviously realized the moment Liu Mingyi turned his head to look at him, he put away his gaze and looked at Liu Mingyi slightly, and then buried his head in driving the horse, as if everything just now was Liu Mingyi's illusion.

Along the way, Liu Mingyi wanted to talk to Lu Ke several times but never found the opportunity, Lu Ke has always kept a certain distance from Liu Mingyi, and he ignored Liu Mingyi's initiative to talk. But Liu Mingyi always had a feeling that Lu Ke must have hidden something from him, but unfortunately the last incident basically left no memory, and Liu Mingyi was also full of questions about this, he was not dead before, but he never lost his memory like this time.

However, Lu Ke's anticipation just now must have a reason, Liu Mingyi subconsciously looked around, but unfortunately there was no one else on the official road at this time except for their team, after all, it was a troubled time at this time, and Liu Mingyi had heard of the ferocious arrogance of the Taishan thieves, so under normal circumstances, no one would choose to leave the town protected by the city wall, and the official road naturally seemed desolate and desolate.

In this way, in constant anticipation, Liu Mingyi entered the range of Yangcheng with everyone.

Yangcheng, as the northernmost town in Xuzhou near Mount Tai, has a small population in the city. At this moment, the city gate was wide open, and a team of people and horses outside the city gate were waiting there early. As Liu Mingyi's team approached, those people cheered one after another.

Seeing this situation, the people who originally planned to bypass Yangcheng directly had to change their targets and stop in front of the Yangcheng gate, everyone dismounted, and Guan Yu and Sun Qian stepped forward first.

"The two generals of Lao are driving, and Yangcheng is too guarded by Sun Yang."

"City Captain Zhao Gang."

"I'll wait here for a long time."

Seeing Guan Yu and Sun Qian walking forward, they walked out of the crowd waiting outside Yangcheng and introduced themselves respectfully.

Belch! Liu Mingyi glanced at the two people who claimed to be city captains and city guards, and saw that the two were wearing somewhat shabby Han official uniforms, with patches on the top and bottom of the official uniforms, and then looking at their faces, they felt extremely thin and haggard, and they looked like they were officials, just like the hungry people who could be seen everywhere on the roadside.

When Liu Mingyi was observing the two, Sun Qian and Guan Yu were also secretly observing, and the two seemed to have the same doubts about the identities of Sun Yang and Zhao Gang.

"Are you really the city guards and city captains of this Yang City?"

Sun Qian stepped forward and asked.

"Exactly!"

The two replied in unison.

"Do you have a seal certificate?"

Guan Yu Fengyang opened his mouth slightly and asked.

"I didn't hold it."

The castle keeper named Sun Yang replied.

"Since there is no seal, how dare you call yourself a city guard? Say! Who are you? ”

Guan Yu's pair of phoenix eyes completely opened his mouth, he glared angrily, and a murderous aura in his eyes shot directly at the two of them.

The two of them were locked by this murderous aura, and their bodies involuntarily contracted, but soon the man who called himself Zhao Gang eased up.

"The two of us did not deliberately claim to be city officials, but because the last city guard and city captain in the city have been killed in battle, and the township believes in the two of us, so I am elected as the city officials.

Oh? Guan Yu's murderous aura was somewhat restrained after hearing this, and he looked at Sun Qian to hear how this wise man judged.

Sun Qian looked at the two of them, and then looked at the people behind the two of them, and he already had a plan in his heart.

"It's not that I don't believe the words of the two, but the position of city official should have been appointed by the state and county shepherds, and it is really suspected of rebellion to take the position without authorization to the two of you."

Sun Qian said, Sun Yang and Zhao Gang heard this, their faces were a little gloomy for a moment, but Sun Gan paused and continued, "But the two of you didn't act deliberately, that is, they were ordered to be in danger, which is naturally understandable." My lord Liu Bei, a benevolent lover, a benevolent and benevolent man, is the emperor's uncle of the Han Dynasty, General Zuo, and leads Xuzhou Mu. I may write a letter and send it to my lord to state the matter of the two of you, and then my lord will personally send a letter appointing the two of you, and I will confirm your two identities, and I wonder what you two will. ”

"Thank you, General, there is no difference between the two of us."

When Sun Yang and Zhao Gang heard this, their originally somewhat gloomy expressions were swept away, and the two of them were overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down in front of Sun Qian and Guan Yu and said.

This matter ended perfectly, Liu Mingyi watched the situation from beginning to end as a bystander, he couldn't help but sigh that Sun Qian deserved to be one of Liu Bei's arms, this hand first suppressed and then raised the technique was really beautiful, simply recovering people's hearts between the palms of his hands, he Liu Mingyi and Sun Qian are still far behind.

The matter was perfectly resolved, and everyone entered Yangcheng under the leadership of Sun Yang and Zhao Gang, and at this time everyone realized that the Yangcheng was in a dilapidated state.

Liu Mingyi observed that the main street of Yangcheng was very empty, with few pedestrians in sight, and most of the houses on both sides were vacant, and even if they were inhabited, most of the people who walked out of the houses were the elderly, women and children, and there were very few young men.

"How can it be so desolate?"

Sun Qian was also a little shocked, and he turned his head to ask Sun Yang, who was leading the way.

"Hey! It's not a good thing that Cao Cao's traitor did. ”

As soon as he mentioned this matter, Sun Yang looked indignant.

"I have heard that Cao Cao is good at governance, how could the city of Xuzhou be so miserable in his hands?"

Sun Qian was a little puzzled, and he continued to ask, but Sun Yang just sighed and did not answer.

"I'm afraid Sun Sima doesn't know."

At this moment, Jin Ming suddenly said, "Although Cao Cao is good at governance, this matter in Xuzhou is a little special. ”

"What kind of special law?"

Sun Qian asked.

"This Xuzhou in the Tao Qian era, once offended Cao Cao, Cao Cao's father Cao Song also died here, so Cao Cao took revenge and led heavy troops to attack Xuzhou."

Jin Ming replied, speaking of which, Guan Yu interjected.

"We naturally know these things, and it was for this that we came to Xuzhou with our eldest brother back then."

"But you don't know what happened after Cao Cao took Xuzhou."

Jin Ming said that his expression was suddenly a little excited, "After Cao Cao took Xuzhou, he actually launched a massacre of Xuzhou because of that incident, and then he gave up because of the dissuasion of everyone, but the people who were killed could not survive, and Xuzhou was greatly injured because of this, at that time I was still a captain under Zhu Ling, and I was humble and low, but I was very indignant about this matter, which is why I chose to follow Uncle Huang later." ”

Liu Mingyi suddenly had doubts in his heart when he heard this, although the massacre was indeed a fact, but this Yangcheng is located in the north of Xuzhou, how could it become what it is today, I am afraid there is still an inside story.

Next, everyone did not stay in Yangcheng for more, and soon set off from the north gate of Yangcheng to a few miles outside Yangcheng, Guan Yu led his subordinates and Sun Gan and others to part ways here, Guan Yu and they turned to Xiapi from here, and Sun Gan they went straight to Mount Tai, about close to Xu, Liu Mingyi and they came to the foot of Mount Tai again.
