Just when Han Fei went to exterminate the Black Mountain Thieves, Sun Quan of Eastern Wu and Cao Pi in Jingzhou were proclaimed emperors on the same day after a period of preparation.

You don't have to think about it to know that they definitely discussed the title of emperor on the same day. Liu Bei was not furious when he heard the news, although he had prepared it for a long time, so he immediately issued an oath to crusade against the two people, and even called them pseudo-emperors.

However, Sun Quan and Cao Pi were not unprepared, and at the same time as they became emperors, Cao Pi sent Cao Ren to lead his troops to capture Shangyong in one fell swoop, and then threatened Yizhou and Hanzhong. At the same time, Sun Quan ordered Zhou Yu to lead the army to attack Jianye City! Jianye City Guard Tai Shici guarded the city while quickly asking Liu Bei for help.

After Liu Bei learned the news, he urgently ordered Guan Yu to lead the army to relieve the siege of Jianye City. Guan Yu's army finally arrived at the edge of the Yangtze River after half a month, but the bad news came that Tai Shici, the general of Jianye City, died in Jianye City.

When Guan Yu heard the news, he immediately stopped the army from crossing the river, set up camp by the river, and then sent someone to report the news to Liu Bei.

In fact, there is no need for Guan Yu to report, Jianye City broke Liu Bei knew the news of Tai Shici's fall at the first time. After learning this news, Liu Bei was furious, and he couldn't wait to immediately raise the whole army to pacify Eastern Wu. At this time, Jia Xu came forward to persuade Liu Bei, which made him give up this idea for the time being. But Liu Bei didn't give up yet, he instructed Jia Xu to send all the shadows under his command to investigate how Jianye City was breached, and to find out who Tai Shici died at. After Jia Xu agreed, he hurriedly sent someone to investigate, he felt as if something different had been inserted, Dongwu didn't have such an attack ability before, and now Dongwu seems to be a little different.

There is no investigation here, but there is new bad news, many city guards in Xuzhou and other places were killed in their beds in the middle of the night. Xuzhou was rumored for a while, and everyone was in danger. At this critical moment, Han Fei returned to the middle capital with his men and horses.

Liu Bei ignored Han Fei's fatigue all the way, and immediately ordered him to enter the palace to discuss countermeasures. Han Fei arrived in the palace and found that in addition to himself, there were Jia Xu and Zhuge Liang, who he hadn't seen for a long time. After a few years of training, Zhuge Liang has faded away from his youth and has become much more stable.

Liu Bei saw Han Fei and said directly: "Wen and you come to tell Zicong what is going on." ”

When Han Fei came back, he also heard some news, and when Liu Bei said this at this moment, Han Fei naturally set his eyes on Jia Xu's side. Jia Xu nodded in response and said: "Although Dongwu is hidden, it is still discovered by the shadows, and Sun Quan seems to have an extra group of black-clothed people. These people are small in number, but they are all very good, and not only that, but they can also hide themselves from everything around them. General Tai Shici was assassinated and killed by these people in Jianye City before, and Jianye City was also broken by these people who opened the city gate. Besides, this series of assassinations in Xuzhou, I suspect that these people are also responsible, but these people are all masters, and our people went late and didn't get anything useful. All I know is that they all seem to use swords, but his sword seems to be a little thinner than ours, and only has a blade on one side......"

Han Fei's eyes lit up violently when he heard this, and his heart was shocked, and he couldn't help but think of a possibility: "These people aren't the ninjas of the little devils, right?" ”

This is Jia Xu basically finished, Liu Bei frowned and asked Han Fei, "Zicong, what do you think?" ”

Han Fei raised his head and smiled at Liu Bei: "Don't worry, lord, I probably know the origin of these people." If they dare to reach out, then don't blame us for ending their nest. At the same time, he added another sentence in his heart: "It can be regarded as helping to eliminate a hidden danger after a thousand years!" ”

"Oh? Zicong, do you know the origin of these people? Tell me where they came from! Liu Bei asked impatiently.

Han Fei looked at Liu Bei, who looked anxious, and coughed lightly: "Speaking of the origin of these people, I have to say one thing first. I don't know if you have heard that when Qin Shi Huang was here, he sent Fang Shi Xu Fu to take a hundred boys and girls to the East China Sea to find the elixir of life? ”

After Han Fei finished speaking, he looked at the three of them, Liu Bei was thoughtful, but Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu both chose to be silent after glancing at each other. After waiting for a long time and no one responded, Han Fei then spoke: "This thing is not a legend but a truth, then Xu Fu and his people did not find the elixir, but found an island. Fearing that the First Emperor would blame him, he did not dare to return, so he took the crew and the boys and girls and stationed them on the island. The aborigines of the island were small and vulgar, and Xu Fu and the others quickly occupied a large area with the power of their weapons. In this way, after several generations of multiplication, it now has a certain strength on that island. ”

Speaking of this, Han Fei paused for a moment, and then Jia Xu suddenly spoke: "Three years ago, someone rescued two people who fell into the water on the shore of Donglai Sea, their clothes were not the same as ours, and they said strange things, one of them was seriously injured and died not long after. The other is still alive, and this person has been secretly held by the guards for nearly three years. During many interrogations but no one could understand what he was, and later it was said that he found a gentleman to teach him to read, and I didn't ask again after this incident, and now it seems that this person is from the island you said Zicong? ”

Han Fei nodded and said, "It is very likely that hundreds of years have passed, and the people Xu Fu brought over are limited after all, and after the assimilation of the local natives, their language is definitely different from ours." This time, these black-clothed people who suddenly appeared on the Dongwu side are very likely to have come from there. And the weapons they use are not swords, but knives. The katana, which they had always called, was longer than the sword, narrower than the sword, slightly curved, and single-edged. ”

After hearing this, Jia Xu nodded and said: "That's right, it seems that just like Zicong said, their weapons are indeed like that, saying that he took out a picture from the painting and presented it to Liu Bei with both hands, and the weapons painted on it are the same as what Han Fei said." ”

Liu Bei put it on the case after seeing the picture, and said to Han Fei: "Zicong, how did you learn about them?" I've never seen you leave the Central Plains, have you? ”

Han Fei seemed to know that Liu Bei would ask this, so he smiled and replied, "Lord, this matter is also a coincidence. As early as the time of Nanpi, the minister knew that there was an island on the other side of the sea, in fact, not only I knew it, but many people from Liaodong knew it, although those people did not often, but they would also go to Liaodong to trade some goods with the locals. It's just that after Liaodong was occupied by our army, they came less. As for Xu Fu's eastward crossing, I later asked my father-in-law for verification. Among his books is a codex that records the events of Xu Fu's eastward crossing. ”

Han Fei's explanation was not perfect, but Liu Bei didn't delve into it, he nodded and said, "Now that you know where these people came from, then Zi Congzhen asked if you have a way to kill them and avenge Ziyi and those dead Taishou?" ”
