(Ask for a subscription and ask for a commuter pass.) ）

Xu Ji was standing at the door in a daze, and a group of soldiers ran from outside the courtyard, armed with knives and guns, and someone shouted: "Take down the assassins!" ”

Xu Ji once again became a "fellow party", although he was wronged, but there was no way to justify, Liu Yunzhi and Chen Laoci were both from Luoyang, and he brought them to Yingcheng, standing in the position of the Shen family, no matter how you look at him, he is an accomplice of assassins.

"Makimara-sama'......"

As soon as Xu Ji said a few words, he was interrupted by a reprimand, "This person is naturally anti-bone, kill it!" ”

Xu Ji was embarrassed, and another person came outside, "Put down your weapons, don't be rude to guests!" ”

Liu Youzhong is a distinguished guest of the Shen family, and he has won the trust of Shen Zhi and the princes, and the soldiers all recognize him, so he did not approach any further, but he refused to stop there, and an officer said: "Mr. Liu, this person brought the assassin ......."

Liu Youzhong waved his hand, "He has nothing to do with the assassins, I can vouch for it." Shen Gong is unscathed, the assassin has been captured alive, and the truth will soon be asked, you all go to patrol, don't waste time here. ”

The soldiers then withdrew.

Xu Ji stepped forward and arched his hand: "The assassins are really the two people I brought?" ”

"Come into the house and talk."

Entering the house, Liu Youzhong said: "The third brother is worried that there will be a misunderstanding, he is taking care of Shen Gong, let me come over, and fortunately it will be in time." ”

"Makimori-sama is injured?"

Liu Youyou finished the line, "The injury is not serious, but it must be kept secret, so as not to disturb the morale of the army." ”

The army went out to fight, and before the war began, the commander was injured first, which was indeed extremely bad news, Liu Youzhong finally hid it from the soldiers, but he was honest with Xu Ji, obviously believing that he had nothing to do with the assassins.

But Xu Ji still felt ashamed, "After two days of companionship, I didn't even see any problems at all." ”

Liu Youzhong smiled and said: "If the fourth brother can see the flaws, then the two of them are not worthy of being called old rivers and lakes." These two men will soon confess, and they must be assassins sent by Lan Sui. ”

"Lan Sui is the commander of the officers and soldiers, and he actually uses this method?"

"Hey, assassination is effective at all times, the fourth brother has read a lot of books, and he should often see the words 'assassination of the guest'."

Xu Ji nodded, "I'm an assassin......"

"It's also an assassin, and it depends on who the assassin is. Fourth brother, don't think too much, I'll go to the backyard to have a look. ”

Xu Ji sent it to the door, and the more he thought about it, the more awkward he became.

Half an hour later, Shen Tan came, entered the room and said with a smile: "The fourth brother hasn't slept yet?" It was nothing serious, my father was slightly injured, and the assassin also confessed, and it was indeed sent by Lan Sui. ”

"It's ...... I don't know anyone"

Shen Tan waved his hand, "It has nothing to do with the fourth brother, these two people are mixed in the heroes of the Eastern Capital, I wanted to come to Jinyang with them and take the opportunity to act, but I didn't expect the others to stay in Mengjin, so the two of them came to Yingcheng with the fourth brother in the name of escort." Either way, they'll always find a way to sneak in. ”

"Fortunately, Lord Shepherd is well defended."

"Hehe, speaking of which, I have to thank the eldest brother for this matter, it was he who saw that these two people had ghosts and warned me to take precautions early, so that they didn't succeed."

"When did Big Brother find out?"

"When I was drinking together, my eldest brother said to me afterwards that these two people looked weird, and others would boast about themselves when they came to defect, in order to reuse, but they were blindly humble, as if they only wanted to be a soldier here, which did not match the identity of a hero."

"It's still the eldest brother who looks at people." Xu Ji admired it so much, he thought that Liu Youzhong was just a man of the rivers and lakes who was good at figuring out the hearts and minds of others, but now he understands that this person does have some real ability, otherwise he will not be valued by many powerful people.

"Big brother is the real old ......"

"Can I lie?" Liu Youzhong came in with a smile.

Xu Ji got up and arched his hand, "I just said that the eldest brother knows people and has skills. ”

"Hehe, when I see a lot of people, I can always find a little way."

Shen Tan said: "It's that I'm not resolute enough, I have been warned, but my preparation is still not sufficient, giving the two thieves an opportunity to hurt my father." ”

"Since we are sworn brothers, we are not polite to each other." Liu Youzhong did not take credit, and said to Xu Ji: "The fourth brother has to return to Mengjin immediately." ”

"There are assassins among those people?"

Liu You's end point, "There are two more, full-time assassination of the incarnation king, or it is possible to assassinate the king of Wu Yue instead." ”

"I'll go."

"Don't worry, I have sent a messenger, the fourth brother will rest, and I will leave tomorrow morning, and I will go to Mengjin with you."

Xu Ji still felt uneasy, but Shen Tan didn't care, and persuaded him with good words, without the slightest suspicion.

Xu Ji slept for a while, and set off early the next morning, accompanied by Liu Youzhong, and more than ten soldiers served as escorts.

The return journey went smoothly, and Liu Youzhong took the order of shepherd Shen Zhi to take the main road and be unimpeded.

After more than a day, the group rushed to the small town of Mengjin.

There is an extra military camp outside the small city, which looks relatively scattered, and it comes and goes at will, Xu Ji guessed that this is a part of the incarnation army.

In front of the city gate, there was a large crowd of people, looking up at something, Xu Ji's heart tightened, thinking that the assassin had succeeded, and immediately sped up.

The city gate was wide open, guarded by dozens of Wu Yue soldiers, and a few things hung from the city wall, swaying gently in the wind. When he came closer, Xu Ji recognized that they were more than ten human heads.

"The assassination of King Wu Yue is such an end."

"King Wuyue has the protection of Maitreya Patriarch, who can touch him?"

"Isn't Patriarch Maitreya protecting the incarnation king?"

"You are stupid, Patriarch Maitreya is the Buddha today, with vast magical powers and boundless mana, not to mention protecting two people at the same time, even if it is thousands or ten thousands, it is not a problem."

……

Xu Ji led his horse through the crowd, looked up, and vaguely recognized that a few heads were heroes from the Eastern Capital, but Liu Yunzhi and Chen Laoci confessed that there were still two assassins left, but for some reason there were more than ten hanging heads.

The goalkeeper is Luo Hanqi, holding a long lance in his hand, and when he saw Xu Ji, he greeted him with a smile, "I came back very quickly, but I still missed a good show." ”

"They ......," Xu pointed above his finger.

"A bunch of fools, they were taken by a litter before they could do anything, and I cut off three heads with my own hands." Luo Hanqi spat on the ground to show his disdain, "Come into the city quickly, King Ning is waiting for your reply." ”

Liu Youzhong and the others followed, and Xu Ji said: "This Mr. Liu is a messenger sent by Shen Mushou. ”

Luo Hanqi frowned, "There was one yesterday, and another group of ...... came today I can't let them enter the city casually, I have to go and report it, and Brother Xu can go in first. ”

"I'll wait here with the guests, and ask General Luo to send someone to pass the message to King Wu Yue."

"Okay, let's wait a minute."

Luo Hanqi sent people into the city, and he had no idea of what Xu Ji was doing, and he didn't care about it, and he kept chatting with him, telling the scene of killing the assassin, and the spit was flying, but the words were not clear.

Liu Youzhong stepped forward and said with a smile: "The general has a strange appearance, he has the appearance of a 'Crouching Tiger', he is middle-aged and soars to the sky, but it is a pity that he ......."

Luo Hanqi was stunned for a moment, and stopped bragging, "What is a pity?" Will you look? ”

Xu Ji said: "Mr. Liu Youzhong is a scholar in the south of the country, well-known in the world. ”

"You are Liu Youzhong?" Luo Hanqi's eyes widened, he had obviously heard of the name, and his voice was loud, attracting both the soldiers defending the city and the rebels outside.

Luo Hanqi blocked everyone with a horizontal lance, asked Xu Ji and his party to enter the city gate, leaned on the long lance on his shoulder, hugged his fists and said: "It's because I have eyes and don't recognize Mount Tai, and I don't recognize Mr. Liu." Brother Xu is too, why didn't he say it earlier? Mr. Liu, you are a living immortal, just now I said that I soared into the sky, and said that it is a pity, what about the next words? ”

Liu Youzhong said with a smile: "It's a pity that the general has two good, good wine and lust, after middle age, I am afraid that my body will not be able to endure it." ”

Luo Hanqi laughed, "If you can't stay up, you can't stay up, no wine and no color, life is better than death." ”

Luo Hanqi put Xu Ji aside and talked and laughed with Liu Youzhong, like friends who hadn't seen him for many years.

Liu Youzhong is not a martial artist, but he can make friends with anyone in a few words, which makes Xu Ji have a little respect, and he doesn't dare to underestimate this old man, listen carefully, and don't let these lie nonsense.

The soldier soon came back and shouted from afar: "King Ning has an order, Xu Gongzi and the messenger will go to see him immediately." ”

Luo Hanqi personally sent more than 100 steps before turning around and returning to the city gate to continue his duties.

The Jinyang guards stayed outside the door, and Xu Ji and Liu Youzhong went in to meet Ning Baoguan.

Ning Baoguan sat alone in the hall, there was no bookcase in front of him, and there were no guards around, when he saw the guests, he got up to greet him, with a smile on his face: "I thought Liu Xiangshi was a legendary figure, but I didn't expect to have the opportunity to see it with my own eyes today." ”

Liu Youzhong had just revealed his identity under the city gate not long ago, and Ning Baoguan had already learned that he was very well informed.

"The sky above Mengjin is surrounded by red air, and everyone who knows it comes to watch, and it is not the first place below, nor will it be the last."

Ning Baoguan actually laughed and said to Xu Ji: "Xu Gongzi is really capable, and he can invite Liu Xiangshi." ”

Xu Ji was humble on his lips, but his heart was churning, and the reply he brought back to the Shen family was not as important as a scholar.

is often said to be too young, Xu Ji has not taken it too seriously, but today he admits that he has experienced too few things, and it was not obvious that he used to have his back to the Lou family, but now he is alone and alone, and all the people he sees are heroes, which makes him both ashamed and excited.

Ning Baoguan and Liu Youzhong talked for a long time, and they hated each other, Liu Youzhong finally turned the topic to the Shen family, and Xu Ji had the opportunity to take out the letter written by Shen Zhi to the three kings.

Ning Baoguan only took his own one, opened it and read it, and sighed, "There's nothing to say, when it comes to this, unless you join forces, there is no other choice." My request to the King of the Coming World and the King of Liang is very simple, just give a foothold, we are all rough people, and the rebellion is nothing more than to eat a bowl of food, and we don't have much ambition. Wait until you see Shen Wugongzi, and then talk in detail. ”

"Where is King Liang?" Xu Ji asked.

"In Ayutthaya, the officers and soldiers sent scouts over, probably to see how many people there were. Mr. Xu will go over and deliver the letter, and I will keep Mr. Liu for a while. ”

Liu Youzhong is a distinguished guest, Xu Ji retired, and kept thinking on the way, feeling that Liu Youzhong was quite in line with the truth of the study of name and reality, and he didn't notice it before, but the more he thought about it, the more interesting it became, and he began to understand why he couldn't get too much benefit from the name of "assassin".

Ma Wei had already heard that Xu Ji had returned, and he was already waiting under the city gate, he was ordered to guard the city, and he did not dare to take half a step.

"Brother Brother is finally back!" Ma Wei looked a little excited.

When he arrived in the hall, Xu Ji first took out the letter, and then asked, "Did the assassin do it in Mengjin?" ”

"I pulled it out before I could do it."

"Brother Ma found the Assassin?"

"Hey, there's a friend of mine in those heroes, the kind who is willing to die for me. On the night of his departure, he overheard two Assassins talking to each other, who were afraid of King Wu Yue and were discussing whether or not to abandon their plans. As soon as I got the news, I took them down, interrogated them, and beheaded them. ”

Xu Ji was surprised, one was that Ma Wei was so determined to hold Ning Hug, and the other was that Ma Wei was calm and did not show special treatment to his "friends" to outsiders.

"There were two assassins, but there were more than ten heads on display."

"Who knows if there are any accomplices, suspicious people are killed. I almost affected my brother, and I was relieved when I heard that Shen Mushou was fine. ”

"It's okay, Brother Ma......"

"Hey, I have another plan, Brother Ji was right before, it must be King Wu Yue to fight against the officers and soldiers. Can my brother go out for me again? ”

"Of course, where to go?"

"Jizhou, I finally figured out that Mengjin is just a battlefield, and Jizhou is the land of Longxing."
