Chapter 428: Stealing the Day

At this time, there was only one main general in the formation of both sides, and the two of them had been fighting for a long time and could not distinguish the victory or defeat, obviously the morale of both sides had been somewhat solidified, and it was not suitable for another battle, and Zhou Yu did not send anyone to provoke after Zhao Yun retreated, so this seemingly menacing attack was resolved by Xu Chu and Zhao Yun's battle.

"Zhao Zilong, if you wait for Mingjin to withdraw your troops today, you will definitely take your life, if you are unwilling, you can fight again in the future!"

After retreating into his own formation, Xu Chu still pointed at Zhao Yun with a blade, and said unwillingly.

At these moments when the two were fighting, Xu Chu had always led the offensive, but his waves of offensives were all in vain on Zhao Yun's body, until he finally watched Zhao Yun return to his own formation, although he retained his advantage, but Zhao Yun's ability was also deeply shocked Xu Chu, at least among the generals of Wei, there was no one who could reach Zhao Yun's ability, so Xu Chu was not completely sure that Zhao Yun could defeat Zhao Yun. In this way, it is just an expedient measure, because Xu Chu knows that if Zhao Yun is defeated this time, his goal today will be achieved.

Xu Chu had already estimated that the news of Liu Feng's army attacking Luoyang with such fanfare would reach the ears of Cao Zhi in Yecheng within two days, and because of the existence of Liu Xie in Luoyang, Cao Zhi would definitely attach great importance to this place, and Cao Zhi's reinforcements would arrive here in three days at most, Xu Chu knew that if he could hold on to that time, his mission in Luoyang would be successfully completed.

Zhao Yun, who had already returned to the formation, did not answer Xu Chu's provocation, but after glancing at Zhou Yu, he waved his hand and led the army to retreat to the rear, their first task had been completed, if everything went well in the city, they should go to the place that had already been set to meet Liu Feng.

After quickly retreating for a few miles, Zhou Yu saw that Xu Chu was just vigilantly watching them from the edge of the moat, but did not lead the army to pursue, so he ordered the sergeant to start camping in the place far away from Xu Chu, and he would immediately attack Luoyang City again when he was full of energy.

"Gong Jin and pretend to camp here, I will take this hundred elite people to the north of the city to meet the lord, Gong Jin must be ready, once I and the lord come from the north of the city, most of them will be discovered by the defenders in the city, Gong Jin only needs to intercept it, once the lord succeeds, we will immediately return to Nanyang to guard."

Because Liu Feng was involved next, Zhao Yun was very cautious in his heart, although he knew that Zhou Yu must be more thoughtful than he thought, but he still reminded him uneasily.

"Zilong still rests for a while, otherwise if he meets the enemy again, he may not have the strength to fight with him, although this plan is a bit dangerous, but once it succeeds, it will be of great benefit to the lord in the future, although Liu Xie himself is not very important, but his identity really has a very big role, otherwise I would not agree to the lord's action."

Let's say that Xu Chu kept a close eye on Zhou Yu and Zhao Yun's movements outside the moat outside the south city gate, until he found that the two had set up camp a few miles away from the moat, so he ordered his people to keep a close eye on Zhou Yu and Zhao Yun's movements on the city, while dragging his already very tired body back to the city, and at this time, the sky had gradually darkened.

When Xu Chu arrived outside his mansion, the sky was already completely dark, Xu Chu thought about it a little, and did not return directly to his mansion, but walked into the palace where Liu Xie was, as soon as he entered the palace wall, Xu Chu saw the difference, there were not many guards in the palace in the past, and today there were several teams of people patrolling back and forth, Xu Chu saw this situation and hurriedly came to the house where the head of the guard was.

"What happened today?" Xu Chu knew this subordinate of his very well, if something hadn't happened, how could he have promoted the guard to such a situation.

The guard was also neatly dressed next door to Liu Xie at this time, not daring to be careless, seeing Xu Chu walk in, he finally let out a breath of relief, for more than an hour, he was really like walking on the tip of a knife, lest something go wrong.

"The general doesn't know that there are several spies in this palace today, they want to rush into Liu Xie's house several times, but they are all resolved by us, and the subordinates dare not be careless, and finally wait for the general to return, I don't know what the general's good plan is for the guards at night."

At that moment, this person told Xu Chu what happened during the day, Xu Chu listened, frowned and asked, "Then Liu Xieke is still safe?" Why not move it to a safer house? ”

Hearing Xu Chu's question, the leader of the guards cowered and was afraid that those assassins with very good skills would take advantage of his transfer of Liu Xie to attack and kill Liu Xie outside, so he didn't dare to touch Liu Xie in vain, and even the door of Liu Xie's house didn't dare to open it a few times.

When Xu Chu heard this, he faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart, and he couldn't help but snort coldly, and walked directly to Liu Xie's house next door, and the leader of the guards naturally didn't dare to make a sound at this time, so he had to follow closely behind Xu Chu.

Pushing open the door, the first thing Xu Chu saw was Liu Xie sitting under the bed, with his back against the wall behind him, seemingly resting there, and there was nothing unusual.

But just when Xu Chu wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, he saw the leader of the guards under his command stretching out his hand and pointing at Liu Xie who was leaning against the wall, his body trembling uncontrollably, and after a long time, he said tremblingly: "This ...... Liu Xie was in this posture when I came to investigate last time, I'm afraid it's ......"

When Xu Chu heard this, he secretly screamed that it was not good, and then shouted, but Liu Xie still did not react, Xu Chu hurriedly strode to Liu Xie's side, turned it over and took a look, and a dagger was inserted in the back of his heart, and the blood was still flowing out slowly, because the candle flame in the room was very dim, so it was absolutely difficult to see the clue if you didn't look closely.

"How long has it been since you last investigated?" There was such a big event, Xu Chu didn't have the energy to punish the people under his command, he knew that Liu Xie, who was very important to Cao Zhi, was lost in his own hands, and his reputation in Wei was afraid that it would be ruined, if he couldn't catch the murderer, he would have no face to see Cao Zhi.

"This ...... But the time of a stick of incense. ”
