The one who came to the Prime Minister's Mansion was none other than the mastermind behind the assassination of the Prime Minister, Zhao Yue, the King of Qin.

For the other two places that Zhang Fei sent to the Imperial Forest Army to notify just now, the emperor was worried, but he would not go to the Prime Minister's Mansion in the middle of the night to investigate, and even Bai Ying, the middle attendant, persuaded him to rest first, and then listen to the opinions of all parties tomorrow.

And Liu Bei, although he was surprised by this, but with his righteous brother Zhang Fei at the scene, he would inevitably report the situation to himself afterwards, and he had no reason to rush to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Zhao Yue is different.

After all, this matter has something to do with him, Qin Feng is also his personal guard, and he has been arrested as an assassin at this moment, he can't tell even if he has a hundred mouths, not to mention that he was instructed by him, so he came overnight just to find out.

When he arrived, Qin Feng had already been escorted to the prison of Yamen, leaving only Chen Qun alone, still in the Prime Minister's Mansion, assisting the fat housekeeper to clean up the aftermath, and at the same time pretending to bury Cao Yuanze's body.

Jia Xu entered the mansion first, came to Chen Qun, who was concentrating on observing Cao Yuanze's corpse, and cleared his throat in a low voice.

When Chen Qun looked up, Zhao Yue had already led the servants into the mansion, and he was in a hurry to come out at night, he didn't change his clothes, but was wearing the white robe he often wears on weekdays, and at this time he was standing in the deserted courtyard with his back hand, like a spotless man in white in the moonlight, which was in stark contrast to the black-clothed assassin Qin Feng just now.

"The minister failed to notice the arrival of the lord, and he missed the welcome, hoping that the lord would forgive his sins." Chen Qun hurriedly saluted, and before he knelt down, he was helped up by Zhao Yue who stretched out a hand.

After Chen Qun stood up, he couldn't help but look up at Zhao Yue, the young man's face was very calm, he couldn't see any waves in his heart, and his eyes didn't reveal any emotion, if it wasn't for Chen Qun and Zhao Yue being acquainted, if the two met as strangers, I was afraid that Chen Qun would think that the person standing in front of him at this time was a living dead.

Zhao Yue glanced at the housekeeper and others in the Prime Minister's Mansion who were standing around Cao Yuanze's body, and did not say a word to Chen Qun, walked straight to Cao Yuanze's side, squatted down, and tested his mouth and nose with his hand, after being sure that the person who rolled his eyes was not breathing, Zhao Yue stood up silently, turned his head and left.

Chen Qun was puzzled and was panicking, Jia Xu quietly came to his side, and said in his ear: "The matter here, deal with it quickly, and then go to the main hall of Chang'a Palace overnight, the lord has something important to tell you." ”

Chen Qun bit his lip tightly, nodded, and did not make a sound.

At this time in the palace, the frightened Emperor Han Xian had fallen asleep again, and the Zhongchang attendant ordered all the eunuchs to take care of them indoors, Liu Bei also personally dressed for safety reasons, and his righteous brother Guan Yu led the Yulin Army to guard the emperor's bedroom.

When the prime minister of the dynasty, he was also an official position in name "one person under ten thousand people", and he actually said that he would die, and he was killed by a mere person who crossed the mansion and rested in his own resting place, how could this not shock everyone.

Zhang Fei led the Imperial Forest Army back to the periphery of the palace, and after seeing Liu Bei, he explained the details to him again.

After Liu Bei heard this, he was shocked and said: "It turned out to be someone under King Qin, as you said, I already have a number in my brother's heart......"

Guan Yu was wearing armor, and analyzed on the side: "I saw that although the person was young, but the city was quite deep, he was still in his twenties, and he was named the king of Qin, and his heart inevitably swelled, big brother, we might as well defend here tonight, what if he is extremely vicious, worried that the matter will be exposed, and he will directly enter the palace?" ”

Liu Bei nodded, "If what Yide said is right, then killing the prime minister must have been instigated by Zhao Yue, we don't know what he has to do next, be cautious and protect Your Majesty's safety." ”

After speaking, Liu Bei glanced back at the place where Emperor Han Xian was resting, turned to look at the moon in the sky, and couldn't help but sigh and said: "Alas, the situation is chaotic, the emperor has fallen into the hands of gangsters many times, I thought that this Zhao Changjiao would be a loyal minister and righteous man, but he never expected that he was also a member of Dong Zhuo and Wang Yun, and he could do such a presumptuous thing." ”

Zhao Yue returned to Chang'a Palace, Jia Xu followed all the way, not daring to be careless, as soon as he entered the main hall, Zhao Yue didn't even sit in a seat, so he waved his hand and said: "Give me a message that Lu Ze and Xiao Tong are here, there must be no mistakes, immediately!" ”

The guards were frightened by Zhao Yue's appearance and hurriedly took the order.

Zhao Yue didn't dare to delay, and immediately changed into the clothes with red lines on a black background that he had been wearing before, but he also lined his clothes with a layer of soft armor in case of accidents.

Jia Xu watched from the sidelines, and secretly said in his heart: This is really a young boy with the blood of the Qin people flowing in his body, and he is like this......

"Lord," Jia Xu thought for a while, and then said, "The minister looks at your current appearance, but you want to do great things?" ”

Zhao Yue didn't nod or shake his head, everything was cleaned up, he tied the jade belt around his waist for himself, and then sat on the seat.

Almost at the same time, Xiao Tong Mengshi and Lu Ze arrived.

"Meng Shi, you hurry to Hongnong, ask the military advisor Meng idiot to come here to help, and the Xu Huang I met when I was in Lake City before, hasn't he already taken refuge in my command, let him come with Meng Idiot immediately!" Zhao Yue gave an order without saying anything, and the little boy didn't even open his sleepy eyes, so he hurriedly nodded in agreement, and then walked out.

His heart was beating, and he even felt in his heart that the person sitting on it was no longer the young master brother he had met on Songshan Mountain.

"Lu Ze!"

"The minister is here."

Zhao Yue thought for a while, and said nervously: "You immediately send someone to Cao Cao, and ask him to lead at least 100,000 troops to the east of the Tiger Prison Pass, if he agrees, then Zhao Yue will remember his great kindness, if he doesn't allow it, there is no need to force it." Also, let the herald inform Wang Kuang, the warden of Hanoi, and tell him to do a good job of defense, and not to act rashly without my order! ”

"Yes! Lord, I'll go ...... now" Lu Ze didn't know what was going on, and wanted to ask more, but seeing that Jia Xu seemed to know the inside story, and Xiao Tong Mengshi didn't talk much, he could only act honestly as ordered.

"Wenhe, how many soldiers are there in Luoyang City now?" There were only Zhao Yue, Jia Xu, and some guards left in the hall, and Zhao Yue asked Jia Xu.

"There are 100,000 new military houses in the city, two military houses on the outskirts of the city, 70,000 soldiers in the east and 80,000 soldiers in the north, so that there are at least 250,000 soldiers...... Jia Xu counted the number in his heart, and asked hesitantly: "Lord, what do you want to ......?"

Zhao Yue was so nervous that her whole body trembled a little: "I'm not afraid of 10,000, just in case, believe me, I didn't want to do this kind of thing in a short time, but if I was driven to a dead end, I really had no other way to ......" (to be continued.) )
