Yizhou is in hand, Liu He has several major things to do next.

The first is the management of Shudi.

The land of Yizhou, vast and sparsely populated, although it is known as the country of abundance, but its military strength is far inferior to the vast plains owned by Cao Cao in the north, even compared to Sun Quan, an ally in the east, it is far behind.

Therefore, if you want to hold on to this territory that has been fought down with great difficulty, you must first improve the combat effectiveness of the Shu army.

This brings us to the second problem, economic development.

It is not wrong to fight for money, and it is not wrong to say that wars throughout the ages have always been made with real money.

Without money, he can't afford to raise a decent army at all, even if he has a fierce general like Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun under his command, if there are not enough troops, everything is empty talk.

When these two points are small achievements, the next step is to take the gateway of Yizhou, that is, Zhang Lu's Hanzhong.

With Hanzhong, there is the capital to mediate with Cao Cao, if Hanzhong returns to Cao Cao, Yizhou will open the door, and there will be no peace from now on.

These three things are all major things that Liu He is about to solve, but before these three things, he has a more important thing to do.

Find Xiao Yu'er.

Since Baishui was closed, there has been no news of Xiao Yu'er since then.

Liu He has sent people to investigate many times, and even did not hesitate to go deep into dangerous places to search for Cao Cao and Sun Quan's territory, but still found nothing.

No one knows what happened that day, let alone where Xiao Yu'er went, she seemed to have evaporated from this world.

Regarding this matter, although everyone in the Tianji Camp did not mention it on their lips, they were all worried about it in their hearts.

Especially Pang Tong, when he learned that Xiao Yu'er stayed with the black-robed man in order to save him, Pang Tong secretly made up his mind that Xiao Yu'er must be retrieved.

But it's easy to say, the world is big, in the vast sea of people, how can it be so easy to find someone.

As soon as he arrived in Chengdu, after finishing the work assigned by Liu He, Wei Xiao was preparing for something every day, everyone knew that he was preparing for the banquet where all the twelve horsemen of the heavenly machine arrived.

However, it has been a month since I entered Chengdu, and in the banquet hall, the red silk has been changed three times because of the dust, but there is still no news from Xiao Yuer.

In Chengdu, Zhuge Liang had carefully selected a luxurious mansion for Liu He and named it Tianji Mansion with his own hands, but Liu He did not move into that mansion, but found a secluded courtyard in a remote corner of Chengdu as a temporary residence.

He didn't say the reason, but the little black fat man who lived in this small courtyard knew best that he would not go to that Tianji Mansion until Xiao Yu'er was found.

If there are twelve people, how can they come to the Tianji Camp?

If there is no Tianji Battalion, why do you need this Tianji Mansion?

Liu He's thoughts, everyone knew it, and no one mentioned the matter of letting this Mr. Tianji move into that Tianji Mansion.

And in this courtyard, which is almost exactly the same as the small courtyard in Jiangxia City, where the environment has been transformed by Pang Tong, there are still those people who originally lived.

Liu He, Pang Tong, Huang Yueying, Zhang Xiaofei, Chunshuang and Qiulu, and Qin Shuang.

Maybe in Liu He's heart, only by returning to the small courtyard of Jiangxia City can he remember the time when Xiao Yu'er was still there.

The night is as cool as water.

Liu He, like these days, is still standing in the small courtyard in the dead of night, looking at the moon in the sky in a daze.

"Watching the moon in the courtyard every night, Mr. Tianji is really interested." A voice came from a dark corner.

Liu He still held his hands behind his back and looked at the moon in the sky intently, "You are finally willing to show up." ”

"So you already knew." A figure missing an arm gradually emerged from the shadows.

Liu He turned his head and looked at Xiao Yu'er's senior brother, "I have watched the moon here for more than ten days, and you have watched me there for more than ten days, say, what is the matter with you looking for me?" ”

Ding Zhan didn't answer, just looked Liu He up and down.

The last time we met, this young Mr. Tianji didn't know any martial arts at all, but he didn't expect that in a short period of time, he would be able to detect his existence.

You must know that Ding Zhan's kung fu of concealing his aura can almost be said to be a rare opponent, and even his fellow junior sister Xiao Yu'er is far inferior.

There is only one explanation for this situation, that is, Liu He in front of him, his skills are already above him.

"I'm here to tell you the whereabouts of my junior sister." Ding Zhan was silent for a long time and said in a deep voice.

Liu He said calmly: "I want to know, what kind of person is that black-robed man, who can let you come to me, although you and I only have one side, but I can see that you are not the kind of person who easily speaks to others." ”

"He's my master." Ding Zhan said bluntly.

Liu He sighed lightly, the last thing he wanted to see finally happened.

Xiao Yuer's life experience, only he and Qin Shuang knew, from the moment he saw the black-robed man, Liu He was guessing that that person should be related to Xiao Yuer's previous identity as a killer.

Unexpectedly, that person turned out to be Xiao Yuer's master.

The master of a killer must also be a murderous character with blood on his hands, and it seems that this time he will face a group of people in the darkest corner of the rivers and lakes.

And what Ding Zhan said next also confirmed Liu He's guess that the black-robed man, that is, the master of Ding Zhan and Xiao Yuer, was the hall master of the Shura Hall, the most famous killer organization on the rivers and lakes.

The reason why this Shura Hall is famous is because the leaders of various gangs and factions on the rivers and lakes will hear about this Shura Hall.

The horror of the Shura Hall is that it has never missed a shot since its establishment.

Once the target is determined, the Shura Hall will place a red ghost head mask next to the target in advance, and all those who receive this ghost head mask will surely die violently within three days, without exception.

Hearing these things in Shura Hall, Liu He remembered the trader he saw at Chen's house that day, Old Zhou.

But compared with Shura Hall, Zhou Lao's business is always slightly inferior.

The first is that Zhou Lao is only responsible for the liaison between the buyer and the killer, and does not have a complete organization like Shuratang.

The second is that Shura Hall has a special project, which even a trader like Zhou Lao can't do.

There are generally two kinds of people who buy murder, one is that the two parties have a conflict of interest, in this case, generally only need to kill the target, and then bring the head back to the buyer to confirm, sometimes, if the identity of the target is noble, even the head does not need to be brought back, within a few days, the death of the target can naturally reach the buyer's ears.

There is also a real vendetta.
