Ling Yan sat opposite Lu Tiecheng and asked with a concerned expression, "General Lu, there were assassins who broke into the mansion last night and didn't hurt General Lu, right?" ”

Lu Tiecheng looked at Ling Yan stunned for a while, and shook his head: "It's okay...... That person has been killed by me. After saying that, he sneered, "That assassin is really too self-conscious, and he dares to assassinate me." ”

Ling Yan said, "General Lu is fine...... Of course, with General Lu's martial arts, that assassin was definitely no match. ”

Lu Tiecheng smiled, and suddenly asked with concern: "General Yan, I heard that there were also assassins who went to your room last night?" ”

"Yes, there are two of them," Ling Yan nodded, "I see that they are really good, they even killed the soldiers at the door quietly, but I didn't hear a sound at all." ”

"Oh?" Lu Tiecheng looked like he was smiling, "But it seems that even if the martial arts of those two assassins are high, they are still inferior to General Yan's." ”

Ling Yan smiled miserably: "If I hadn't slept late last night, I'm afraid I would have been killed by those two people long ago." ”

Lu Tiecheng thought for a moment and asked, "General Yan, can you be sure that the purpose of those two people is to kill you?" ”

Ling Yan said resolutely: "100% sure!" When they came in, I was pretending to be asleep, and one of them picked up his sword and was about to stab me in the chest, but fortunately I was prepared, otherwise I would have died! ”

Lu Tiecheng pondered, "Hmm...... Looks like they're really prepared......"

Ling Yan raised his eyebrows slightly: "General Lu...... Do you know the identity of the person who came? ”

Lu Tiecheng took a deep breath and smiled lightly at Ling Yan. took out a letter from his body and handed it to Ling Yan: "Look at this." ”

Ling Yan took the letter and saw that the envelope read: "General Yan personally opened it." ”

Ling Yan was puzzled in his heart, he didn't know who sent the letter, and since it was written for him to open it personally, judging from the envelope, this letter had obviously been opened.

Ling Yan opened the letter and read it, only to know that this letter was actually sent by Yuan Shao.

The letter reads: "General Yan, I heard that the generals under my command did not obey my orders, took charge of their own actions, attacked the city occupied by the general, hurt the harmony between our two families, and broke the covenant of our alliance. In addition, his subordinates did not listen to orders and acted without authorization, offending the general, and Shao has beheaded him in accordance with military law to eliminate the general's anger. ”

After reading the letter, Ling Yan was shocked: Yuan Shao killed Gao Lan?

Lu Tiecheng said: "General Yan, this letter was delivered yesterday, I see that you are very tired, so I didn't tell you, I opened it and took a look at it first." ”

Lu Tiecheng didn't say it, Ling Yan also knew that he had read it, but at this time, he didn't have the heart to investigate the responsibility of opening the letter without permission, and his heart was full of shock by the content of the letter.

Seeing that Ling Yan didn't speak, Lu Tiecheng continued to ask: "General Yan, after reading this letter, do you feel something strange?" ”

Ling Yan read it carefully again, then put down the letter and looked at Lu Tiecheng: "I don't see anything strange, but ...... I really didn't expect Yuan Shao to kill Gao Ran for this matter. ”

Lu Tiecheng immediately said in a deep voice: "It's strange here!" Think about it, we all know that Gao Ran is a capable cadre under Yuan Shao, why would Yuan Shao bear to kill his own right-hand man? ”

Ling Yan didn't know why: "What General Lu means is that Yuan Shao didn't kill Gao Lan at all?" Just to comfort me? ”

Lu Tiecheng smiled: "Let's not talk about whether Yuan Shao will really kill Gao Ran, maybe he will kill, maybe he won't kill, but this doesn't matter, even if Gao Ran is powerful, he is just a martial artist, and it won't be a pity to kill Yuan Shao, but the question is......" Lu Tiecheng paused, "The problem is that Gao Ran sent troops, how could it be without Yuan Shao's consent?" Why did Gao Ran send troops without permission, and how could he use troops without permission? ”

"Yes, I don't think it's possible either," Ling Yan nodded, "It should have been sent out by Yuan Shao." ”

Lu Tiecheng smiled: "Hmm...... Since it was Yuan Shao's men, why did he send you another letter now, and said that he was going to kill Gao Lan? As an enemy, will he do things that are fast to his relatives and hate? ”

Ling Yan also felt that Yuan Shao would not do such a stupid thing: "I also feel that he is deceiving people...... But why did he send the letter? ”

Lu Tiecheng said with a smile: "It's very simple, one is to paralyze us, just fought with him, he sent a letter on the surface to ease our relationship, but the actual purpose is to make us careless." ”

Ling Yan nodded: "What about the second?" ”

Lu Tiecheng said slowly: "General Yan, the letter was sent last night, but the assassin also came that night...... What does this mean? ”

Ling Yan asked in disbelief, "Could it be that this is an assassin sent by Yuan Shao?" ”

Lu Tiecheng asked rhetorically, "General Yan, what do you think?" ”

Ling Yan remembered that when he passed by the bazaar last night, the person he saw on horseback should be the person who delivered the letter, but at that time, he only saw a person on horseback, and did not see anyone else following - it was possible that the person who delivered the letter arrived first, and those assassins followed.

However, Ling Yan suddenly had a question: Since it was "General Yan personally opened", why was it sent to Lu Tiecheng?

Thinking so, Ling Yan unconsciously asked, "General Lu, Yuan Shao only sent someone to deliver this letter?" ”

Ling Yan just asked casually, but he didn't expect Lu Tiecheng's face to change, paused, and said angrily: "Yuan Shao also wrote me a letter, but I was so angry when I looked at it, I tore it up directly!" ”

Ling Yan was puzzled: "What is written on Yuan Shao's letter?" ”

Lu Tiecheng said angrily: "It's just some words of reparation, it's similar to this letter...... But I could see that there was something provocative in that letter, and I tore it up in a fit of rage! ”

Ling Yan thought about it, but he still didn't figure out why he sent the letter of "General Yan personally enlightened" to Lu Tiecheng, but after thinking about it again, maybe the messenger was a little lazy, thinking that handing over all the letters to Lu Tiecheng could be regarded as completing the task.

If this question could barely be figured out, then there was another question that Ling Yan couldn't figure out, he glanced at the letter and asked the question in his heart: "General Lu, since Yuan Shao wants to send someone to assassinate us, why do you want to send a messenger to send us a letter?" ”

Lu Tiecheng immediately replied with a smile: "If you want me to see, Yuan Shao is just giving himself a way out, in case the people sent can't kill us, and we see the letter, he can avoid our suspicion." ”

"Well, what General Lu said makes sense," Ling Yan nodded, there was still a question that could not be solved, "But this Great Victory City is heavily guarded, and the General's Mansion is heavily guarded, how could those assassins easily run in?" ”
