Chapter Twenty-Six: Ninja Illusion

"You? …… Madam, how can I let you go into danger, besides, you don't know martial arts at all, let alone help us, it's good to not have me take care of you, you can stay here honestly. ”

"Brother Yao, although we have been together for two years, you don't really understand me."

"Really? Madam, do you have a martial arts can't do it? ”

"At the beginning, I was the emperor, of course I couldn't do everything myself, in fact, I am a master of ninjutsu myself, I can ascend to heaven and earth, hide in the shadowless, kill people invisibly, and my martial arts are also good, Brother Yao, don't worry, since we have returned to Yamatai for a while, of course I can help you here."

"Madame, this ......"

"I know you don't believe me, so I'll show you now."

Himi raised his middle finger and said, "I'm leaving!" "The man was gone in no time!

Obediently, Liu Yao and the Dharma Protectors have seen it, Liu Yao also looked around and said, "Madam, are you really leaving?" ”

"Hahahaha, I'm here." Bei Mi said yes, and actually appeared behind Liu Yao!

"It's amazing, the ninjutsu of Yamatai is really good." Liu Gon praised.

"Madam, I now know that you are a person with some ability, but it is too wronged for you to let you go to Guanzhong to listen to my fourth brother's order."

"It's nothing, I want to try my best to help you, after all, if you succeed one day earlier, our Yamatai Kingdom will have hope."

"Okay, madam, I'll grieve you, Liu Yao has thanked you in advance." Liu Yao said and pretended to give a salute.

"You and I are husband and wife, why be so polite, Brother Yao, I'll go to Guanzhong to help your fourth brother now."

Liu Yao explained, Beimi exhaled out of the door, Liu Yao and others were sent out of the door, and after saying goodbye, Liu Zhen and Liu Ji went to the mansion in the east of the city, because they had made an appointment with Xiao Zhao and Xiao Fu before.

The two entered the house and met Jin Zhanhong, who told them that Xiaofu had not yet arrived.

"These two dog minions, if there is anything wrong with coming here at this hour?" Liu Zhen said urgently.

"I don't think so, these two people are also cowardly and afraid of things, their lives and the lives of their families are all in our hands, I don't think they dare to make a mistake!" Liu Ji squinted his eyes and said fiercely.

As he was talking, a car came to the door, it was Xiao Zhao, he got out of the car, Liu Ji asked: "Didn't you say that you two are coming, and Brother Liu Zhen and I are going to enter the palace?" ”

Xiao Zhao covered his face and said aggrievedly; "Don't mention it, when the two of you weren't there, Niangniang beat us up, all because your massage skills are too good, we can't do it, which annoys Niangniang, and my face is swollen. Also, Xiaofu was arranged by his mother to send an envoy, and he couldn't get out for a while, so let's change one to the palace today. ”

Liu Ji and the others were happy when they saw Xiao Zhao's face, and laughed, and suddenly Liu Zhen couldn't laugh, because he was going to change Xiao Zhao to enter the palace, would his face be swollen?

Liu Ji also understood, and said, "Big brother, why don't you enter the palace today, and wait a few days to talk about it." ”

"Then what kind of thing, the task of the hall master must be completed as soon as possible, and the sooner you are familiar with it, you can complete the task one day earlier, Liu Ji, come, beat me!"

"No, no, no, no, where can I do it......" Liu Ji said to Xiao Zhao: "You come." ”

"How dare I ......"

"If you want to hit you, hit it, hurry up!"

Xiao Zhao had no choice but to go up and slap Liu Zhen twice, Liu Zhen was just about to raise his slap to make Xiao Zhao, Xiao Zhao covered his face and made an innocent look, Liu Zhen had no choice but to give up.

"Big brother, your face is really swollen......" Liu Ji wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.

Liu Zhen said: "I'm leaving. With that, he went out and drove to Nangong.

After a long journey, Zu Ti and his entourage finally came to Chang'an.

Chang'an, the Yongzhou Mansion Governing Office, the history of the assassination is the famous solution.

The general who came to greet the military was the pioneer Zhou under the account of King Liang, and I saw that he was about sixty years old, with armor all over his body, a sword on his waist, and a white horse, which was majestic.

Speaking of which, I want to add a little pen and ink to him, Zhou is a native of Wu Yixing during the Three Kingdoms period, lost his father at the age of two, and ran rampant in the township when he was young, with a bad reputation, and later he decided to do something good for the township and change his image.

It is said that on this day, he passed by a bridge, and found an old man in the middle of the bridge holding the bridge railing, looking into the water, and looking up at Nanshan, and sighed uncontrollably, he must have encountered difficulties, and thought to himself: "The opportunity is coming, if I solve problems for him, I can get a good reputation." ”

Zhou Chu stepped forward to inquire, and the old man knew that it was Zhou Chu, and sighed and said that it was because of the three evils of Yixing. ”

Zhou Chu pulled his arm and said: "Old man, don't talk about the three evils, that is, the thirty evils, I can also help the villagers get rid of him, let's say, what are the three evils?" ”

The old man looked at him and said, "Okay, I'll tell you, these three evils are white, blue, and black." ”

Zhou said: "I haven't heard of the three evils of blue, white, and black, please tell me about it." ”

The old man pointed to the waterway under the bridge: "There are blue-scaled Jiaojiao in the water that harm people, they are extremely fierce, and no one can get rid of them, this is the first evil." ”

He pointed to Nanshan Mountain not far away and said: "There are white-fronted tigers on Nanshan Mountain who often go down the mountain to hurt people, and more than a dozen hunters alone have died, not to mention ordinary people." ”

Zhou said: "These two evils are easy to get rid of, I don't know what the third evil black refers to?" ”

The old man saw that he really didn't understand, so he said, "Zhou, don't be angry when I said this third evil." ”

Zhou said: "The old man said that it doesn't matter, harming people has nothing to do with me, how can I be angry, say it quickly, I will do something good for the people of a county." ”

The old man laughed and said, "Zhou, the third evil is yourself!" Because you are full of bad deeds and do not do good deeds, everyone thinks that your heart is too dark, so they call you and the two evils the three evils of blue, white, and black. ”

Zhou said: "Although there are bad deeds in Zhou, but it will not be called the same as the two evils, okay, since the people think so, I will remove the two fierce beasts, so that everyone will be impressed by me!" ”

The old man said, "If you really think so, it would be gratifying. ”

Zhou resigned, the old man returned home, prepared bows and arrows, long knives and short swords, brought dry food, and said goodbye to the old mother and went into the mountains to find the white-fronted tiger.

A few days after entering Nanshan and the white-fronted tiger encountered, Zhou everywhere fought with it to the death, several times were almost bitten to death, Zhou finally ran to the tree, with a bow to shoot the white-fronted tiger.

He observed the whereabouts of the Blue Scale Jiao again, and went into the water to kill him, and after three days and nights of fighting, Zhou finally killed the Blue Scale Jiao.

When the people saw that the white-fronted tiger was dead, and the blue-scaled Jiao in the water also floated stiffly on the water, they knew that it was Zhou who killed them, but there was no trace of Zhou Zhi, and people thought that Zhou was drowning in the water.

The execution of Zhou was great news for Yixing, and people rushed into the streets, setting off firecrackers, dancing lions, stepping on high warps, and indulging in a festive atmosphere.

Zhou escaped from death and came back to see the street like a festival, but he wondered if he couldn't celebrate the festival, could it be because the two beasts were hung by himself? He asked the children why the streets were so lively, and if it was because the beasts had been killed.

The child told him that it was because Zhou was executed, because he was the greatest of the three evils.

It turned out that this was the case, and the people sat on the ground in an instant, and the people hated me so much, how could I still be born between heaven and earth!

He worshipped Lu Yun as a teacher, studied angrily, acted cautiously, and did not act rudely, slowly changed his image in people's minds, and also had a good reputation, became a person who was both civil and military, and was recruited by the government, and achieved the official position of Zuo Cheng in Soochow, and was upright and upright for the official.

Jin unified the world, Zhou came to Luoyang, was appointed by the Jin court as the Guanzhong Xinping Taishou, he pacified all ethnic groups in office, so that the rebellious to the court, the people were content and happy, and he was praised for a while.

He was transferred to Guanghan Taishou, and won the love of the people again, and was later recruited by the imperial court as a loose horseman, entered the court as an official, and then worshiped as the imperial history of the Cheng, responsible for supervising hundreds of officials, impeachment and picketing, so he offended many courtiers, including Sima Wei.

Having said that, Zu Ti stepped forward and said, "There is General Lao, if you guess correctly, you must be General Zhou." ”

"It's Zhou, it's really not easy for Zu Zhutou to be able to run a military errand at a young age, with so many supplies, defeating Qi Wannian is just around the corner."

"Thanks to ......" Zu Ti turned back to find the four elders, but there was no one for a long time, and it turned out that they quietly returned to Luoyang after entering the Chang'an realm.

Zu Ti sighed in his heart, and said to Zhou: "Thanks to the emperor's blessing, he is safe. ”

Zu Ti said again: "Old General Zhou, you are still fighting in the field in your sixtieth year, and Zu is so young that you can't be loyal to the country, it's really a shame." ”

"Don't say that about Zu Zhutou, it's really killing Zhou, Zhou has also heard of Zu Zhutou's name in Luoyang, and your brother Liu Kun are all well-known young talents, you are behind when you make contributions, and your achievements must be above the old man, hehe."

Zu Ti said: "General, after handing over the ordnance and other things today, I will visit you in your tent." ”

"Okay, the old man is very welcome, the old man knows that you have read a lot of military books, and you will live in the army at night, and we will talk freely."

"Okay, that's a deal."

Saying that, Zhou led the convoy to the Zhengxi General's Mansion, which was the official office of Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, and Sima Lun was transferred back to Luoyang, and naturally became the office of Sima Wei, the king of Liang.

The sergeants were instructed to put arrows, knives, guns and other ordnance into the arsenal of the general's mansion, and the money went into the official treasury, and the military camp around was in the northern suburbs outside the city, so the convoy went straight to the military camp with grain and grass.

When they arrived at the military camp in the north of the city, it was already dark, and the troops unloaded the grain and grass, set up their tents, and Zu Ti announced: "Camp for one night tonight, and set off for Luoyang tomorrow." ”

Zu Ti had just set up his tent when a sergeant came to tell him that General Zhou had an invitation.

Zu Ti and Yun Ru came to the Zhongjun tent in Zhou together, and Zhou had already ordered someone to prepare wine and food.

During the banquet, he naturally talked about the military situation in Guanzhong, which was also what Zu Ti was concerned about, and Zu Ti said: "Old General Zhou, the war in Guanzhong can be calmed according to what you see. ”

"According to the old man, the war can be subsided in a month, but if it is not properly mediated, it may be one or two years, three or five years, and then there is no time limit."

Zu Ti wondered in his heart and said: "Where do you start with this, I have heard for a long time that the old general is like a god, why does the war drag on for three or five years?" ”

Zhou took a sip of wine, stroked his beard and said: "The old man said that January can be peaceful, it is not crazy, but that is conditional, the old man wants independent military power, can not be controlled by others, so the old man can let go of it, let that Qi Wan Nian hundreds of thousands of horses, and it will never exceed the period of January." The saying of the past three or five years is the same as now, the old man is a pioneer who has no military power, and if there is something to do, he must first show the king of Liang to know, and he must be controlled by the general of Anxi, Xiahou Jun, and the march and battle are all under the blind command of the king of Liang, and there is no initiative. ”

"But your prestige in Guanzhong is also known to the people of Luoyang."

"Prestige? Isn't that because the old man often fights tough battles with Qi Wannian's subordinates, if it weren't for the old man's ability to improvise, I'm afraid he would have died in Qi Wannian's hands, and Chang'an would have become Qi Wannian's nest! ”

"Old general, why didn't King Liang let go of his military power with you?"

"King Liang...... Liang Wang...... He did this on purpose, he didn't want the old man to make a contribution at all, this matter is a long story, alas, I will tell you briefly. ”
