Chapter Forty-Three: Dark Clouds Cover the Top, and the Assassination Fails
Of course, Liu Xuewu didn't know that because of him, Jingzhou is now turbulent and shrouded in conspiracy, and he is still accompanying Liu Qi all the way to Jingzhou and going to Jingzhou slowly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Liu Qi received rumors on this side, and there were unknown people from all walks of life lurking in before and after Liu Xuewu entered Jingzhou. Every day, someone followed Liu Xuewu's convoy all the way to investigate, at first Liu Qi thought it was Liu Xuewu's person, and he didn't pay attention to it, but he didn't expect the other party to kill the person he sent to keep an eye on.
Suddenly, Liu Dagongzi felt that the situation was serious, and hurriedly found someone to discuss, but unfortunately Fengzhi Pang Tong and the general Wen Ping were not there, and now he was following by Lao Huang Zhong's martial arts, although his martial arts were good, but he was still not as good as this conspiracy. In desperation, Liu Qi took Liu Xuewu to a secret room, saying that there was something important to discuss.
"Brother Xuewu, I received news that around my brother's convoy, there are many people lurking and following, I'm afraid it will be unfavorable to my brother." Liu Qi said frankly.
Liu Xuewu also faintly felt that something was wrong, if usually, as long as he stepped into Jingzhou, the people arranged by his own Xuewu Sect would find an opportunity to come to connect, and now he has entered Jingzhou for a few days, but no one has come. Now when I hear what Liu Qi said, I secretly say that it is not good in my heart. hurriedly walked out of the secret room and arranged for his henchmen to go to find out the news.
Let Zhao Yun be responsible for the daily vigilance, and check the clothing, food, housing and transportation.
It turned out that when he came to Jingzhou this time, Liu Xuewu only brought a convoy of 500 horsemen, and the general was only Zhao Yun. But he knew that Zhao Yun was careful and courageous and strategic, and he was responsible for Liu Xuewu's peace of mind.
But he never expected that his order would cause Dong Zhuo's dead soldiers to think that the matter was exposed, so he was ready to take the lead when Liu Xuewu had not yet arrived in Xiangyang, Jingzhou. The first wave of assassinations came.
That night, Liu Xuewu and others stayed in Nanxiang County. The dead soldier, who had long been disguised as a butcher, opened a slaughterhouse outside the post station and sold Xiliang barbecue on the spot.
"Roast whole sheep, roast whole sheep, fresh and freshly killed big fat sheep." Grilling and shouting at the same time, it's quite like that. But in Liu Xuewu's eyes, it was full of flaws, and after saying hello to Zhao Yun, Liu Xuewu went into the room to rest alone.
The smell of roasted whole sheep made the five hundred demon horsemen from Bingzhou smell saliva, and Zhao Yun, who was awakened by Liu Xuewu, looked at the brothers one by one looking at the roast sheep seller opposite, and even a few centurions who couldn't hold back wanted to go over and buy roast mutton. Seeing this, Zhao Yun secretly said that it was not good, if the other party did something on the roast sheep, then it would be difficult for him to plant all the five hundred people here.
Hurriedly stopped the centurion who was about to ask the price, and shouted with a smile: "Do you want to eat mutton, brothers?" ”
Those dumb-eyed demon knights shouted in unison, "Yes." But he couldn't stop the sound of swallowing saliva.
"Okay, I'll satisfy everyone's mouths today." As soon as Zhao Yun finished speaking, the soldiers were ready to rush over to buy roasted whole sheep. Those dead soldiers who sold roast sheep couldn't help but show a smile, and they looked at each other, and asked the people who dealt with the roast sheep later to add ingredients.
Zhao Yun saw all this, but shouted to the soldiers of the demon horse: "Slow, the southerners don't know how to roast sheep, and they spoil these good sheep, since the brothers want to eat, I Zhao Yun personally showed a hand to everyone, and Changshan Zhao Ji roasted the whole sheep." ”
Then he asked Liu Qi to buy dozens of healthy goats, slaughtered them on the spot, set up a fire opposite the group of dead soldiers, and roasted them themselves. This made the dead soldiers sent by Dong Zhuo, who originally thought they had a plan, helpless, so a strange scene appeared, on one side they were selling roast sheep, and on the other hand, they roasted sheep themselves.
Seeing that it was about to be late at night, the dead soldiers decided to kill them by force. As the leader of this operation, this dead man is still very confident in his sniping ability, so everyone is full of confidence, and sent two people to keep an eye on them, and the others went to rest and recuperate, preparing for tomorrow's assassination.
Perhaps it is said that if you don't die, you won't die, when Liu Xuewu stepped out of the gate of the post station, dozens of arrows flashing blue arrows shot from different directions. Looking for Liu Xuewu, who was prepared, he hurriedly lay down at 90 degrees, although he avoided the poisoned arrow, but his face was full of ashes. Liu Xuewu, who reacted after finding out that he was fine, saw that the two guards behind him were shot and directly poisoned by the poison that sealed his throat with blood on the arrowhead, and couldn't help scolding: "Nima's, since you smeared poison on the arrow." ”
Zhao Yun rushed over to fight with those dead soldiers, and Liu Xuewu, who had found out that there was a problem yesterday, gave him a stupid order. Let Zhao Yun not startle the snake, but put a long line to catch a big fish. In fact, in Liu Xuewu's opinion, these people are just Liu Biao to spy on him, but he is unexpectedly preparing to assassinate himself. Pity the two loyal guards, who stood outside Liu Xuewu's house for a day last night, and this morning they were going to go out to have breakfast with Liu Xuewu and change the guard with other brothers, and then go to sleep.
As a result, he was tired all the way and was so sleepy all night last night, so he became Liu Xuewu's substitute ghost without paying attention. At this time, Liu Xuewu couldn't wait to slap himself, but his negligence let these two brothers bury their bones in another country, he hated. Of course, not hating himself, but hating the killers, and the people behind the killers.
This mentality is what a superior person must have, just like Cao Cao's I would rather bear the people of the world than the people of the world to bear me. This is also the mentality that Liu Xuewu has experienced and honed in the past few decades since he came to the Eastern Han Dynasty, so the results can be seen, what happened to those dead soldiers?
However, these dead soldiers were extremely tough, thirty people, fifteen were killed, twelve committed suicide, and three were captured. And the three captured people did not succeed in committing suicide when they broke their hands and tendons and scrapped their entire teeth. Zhao Yun knew that Liu Xuewu would definitely want to live, firstly, to ask the mastermind, and secondly, to use these three captives to vent the anger in his heart. This time, not only Liu Xuewu held his breath, but even he Zhao Yun was too
There is nowhere to be angry, the two guards who died have the best friendship with him along the way, and everyone has talked and laughed all the way out of Bingzhou, and now due to his own negligence, the two brothers have died, and he Zhao Yun is to blame.
Liu Qi and Liu Dagongzi, who were waiting for Liu Xuewu to have breakfast together, heard that someone assassinated Liu Xuewu in public, which frightened this Liu Dagongzi. Liu Xuewu visited Jingzhou, so now he is a guest in Jingzhou, once Liu Xuewu is killed on the territory of Jingzhou. Then as the master's own family will also suffer from the anger from Yizhou and Jizhou, and now these three states can be added up casually to pull out a million troops, Liu Qi and Liu Dagongzi did not dare to be careless, and hurriedly
sent his own guards to defend Liu Xuewu's convoy together, while sending people to deliver a letter to Liu Biao. At this time, Jingzhou can be said to be full of mountains and rains, as long as the slightest mistake, it is estimated that Jingzhou may be changed hands at any time, and the fate of their original owners can be imagined.
"Brother Xuewu, are you okay?" Liu Qi ran over with the guards to ask Liu Xuewu for peace.
"With Brother Lao Qi's concern, I believe that there is no knife in the world that can kill me Liu Xuewu." Liu Xuewu said confidently.
Liu Qi hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile: "Wuguan is no longer safe here, and I ask my brother to leave early and rush to Xiangyang as soon as possible. ”
"It's okay, just listen to what Brother Qi said, you said that this early morning disturbed my good mood, and I originally wanted to visit the scenery of Jingzhou more, but it's a pity." Liu Xuewu shook his head, but still agreed.
Just after they set off again, an even bigger crisis is coming, and guess who the second wave of attacks will be?
