Liaodong in November is very cold, let alone Liaodong during the Xiaoice River period.

Not long after Lu Yan came back, goose feathers fell in Liaodong, and the temperature in Guangning dropped to more than 20 degrees below zero.

The drastic drop in temperatures has not only frozen almost all of the river, but has also frozen to death a large number of homeless refugees.

Every day, large numbers of dead bodies are found in the streets, then carried into cars and thrown into mass graves outside the city for burial.

Lu Yan can only feel quite helpless in this regard, he has the heart to help, but he can't help the vast majority of people.

Since he intended to start Taiwan, he began to recruit a small number of strong refugees and sell them into his servants.

Although these people have lost their personal freedom, they have managed to survive.

On the other hand, he also sent people around to buy grain, axes, iron nails, and other things that might be needed to build the city, in addition to farm tools, seeds, and other things, in preparation for the development of Taiwan.

Of course, monitoring Sun Degong is the most important of them.

Because the Xue family and Sun Degong were too close, those four nights had already collected some news about Sun Degong.

This also saved Lu Yan a lot of effort, so Lu Yan sent those Iron Eagle Ruishi and Ye Bushu to take turns to keep an eye on him.

may be due to the fact that Sun Degong has betrayed the Ming Dynasty, so Sun Degong's vigilance is very high, and he usually takes at least a dozen guards with him when he goes out.

And those Iron Eagle Rui soldiers were inexperienced, and once their stalking actually aroused Sun Degong's vigilance.

As a result, Sun Degong increased the number of personal soldiers who protected him from a dozen to more than twenty, and he usually protected himself tightly, which also greatly increased the difficulty of assassinating him.

Lu Yan looked at a report from Tieying Ruishi and fell into deep thought, on which was a sketch of Sun Degong's daily route.

"Sun Degong's mansion is in the south of the city, where either rich merchants or military generals live, so the defense there is very strong, and there are often soldiers patrolling, and it is extremely risky to assassinate there."

"Since Sun Degong was a guerrilla guard at the gate of Quang Ninh, he often had to go to the city gate to inspect, and we thought it was best to start halfway. While there was a danger involved, it was at least much less risky than an assassination near his mansion. ”

"And since Xue Wenju is his personal soldier, he is often on his side, and we can assassinate them together in one fell swoop."

Meng Kuo said.

"Do you want to do it halfway?"

Lu Yan muttered, and then he turned back to ask the three people standing behind them.

"What do you think?"

"I don't care, as long as he is in my field of vision, I can shoot him in the throat with one arrow."

A handsome-looking man with piercing eyes said.

He is Yang Yuji, recognized by the history books as the first archer of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

One arrow can shoot through seven layers of Kai armor, and Xue Rengui can only shoot through five layers.

The first person to wear Yang in 100 steps, shoot an arrow with absolutely 100 shots, nicknamed raising an arrow, and never shoot a second arrow when shooting people.

The fierce man of the fierce men, the bull man of the bull people.

He was also the main force behind Lu Yan's assassination of Sun Degong.

"I don't have a problem, as long as I can get within ten steps of him, I'm sure I'll be able to kill him."

A young man dressed in cloth with an ordinary face and a bronze sword tied around his waist said.

He is Nie Zheng, one of the four great assassins of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a swordsman with excellent swordsmanship.

A native of Jiyuan, Henan, although he is highly skilled, in order to support his mother and sister, he is willing to become a butcher and the like.

Later, Yan Zhong personally offered him a golden hundred yi to support his mother, but he thought that he would not be able to do anything without merit, and he would not accept it.

Later, Yan Zhong still repeatedly showed favor to him, and entertained him with fine wine and meat from time to time.

After his mother's death, in order to repay Yan Zhong's kindness.

He entered Han Xiangxia's tired mansion alone, and killed Han Xiangxia tired under heavy guards.

After killing dozens of Han Xiang's guards, in order to avoid dragging his sister down, he peeled off his face, gouged out his eyes, and picked out his intestines before dying.

For Nie Zheng, who is very filial and skilled in swordsmanship, Lu Yan likes him very much, so he deliberately exchanged him this time.

"I don't have a problem either, just give me a good horse, and if Yoyuki doesn't succeed, I can catch up with him when I chase him."

The other noble boy with a face like a crown of jade and a slender figure said.

He is the son of Qingji, not only the son of Wu Wangyi, but also promoted as a warrior in the world, with the unstoppable courage of ten thousand people.

Legend has it that he could fight with his bare hands, and he could run faster than a galloping horse.

King Wu sent one of the four great assassins of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Zhuan Zhu, to assassinate the father of Qingji Gongzi and take over the throne.

However, he was very afraid that Qingji Gongzi would come to take revenge, so he sent an assassin to assassinate Qingji Gongzi again.

wanted to leave the opponent who thought he was not Qingji Gongzi, so he used a bitter trick to kill his wife and cut off his right arm, deceiving Qingji Gongzi's trust.

In the end, taking advantage of Qingji's unpreparedness, he assassinated Qingji Gongzi.

But Qingji Gongzi thinks that if he wants to leave a warrior, he has already died as a warrior today, and he should not die another warrior.

So let the guards go, and they wanted to leave, and they were moved by Qingji's son.

After returning to China, He Lu personally greeted him, and he wanted to be rewarded heavily and leave.

He said that this was done to save Wu from the flames of war, and after speaking, he drew his sword and killed himself.

For these ancient assassins Lu Yan is very embarrassed, he really doesn't take his life seriously at all.

He would self-harm or commit suicide at every turn, but this spirit of reluctance to take life and death lightly really made him feel very admired.

"I never shoot a second arrow when I kill."

Yang Yuji glared coldly at Qingji Gongzi and said.

Qingji Gongzi smiled slightly, but did not refute.

In order to assassinate Sun Degong this time, Lu Yan specially prepared an assassin, an archer, and a brave general for him, which was really enough to look up to him.

"Okay, then, you have a plan of action, a retreat route, and how to respond, and it is best to prepare a few filings to deal with emergencies. You have to remember that I am seeking a one-hit kill, and I don't want any of you to die. ”

Lu Yan said.

These are all heroes of Chinese dynasties, and Lu Yan does not want them to die in the assassination of Sun Degong.

Everyone nodded solemnly, and then discussed how to assassinate Sun Degong.

At the thought of assassinating others, Qingji Gongzi seemed to be excited.

Maybe it was the reason why he was assassinated by other people in his previous life, and at this moment he actually liked the feeling of assassinating others very much.

******

Due to the fact that there were several goose feather snowfalls in Quang Ninh a while ago, it was the time for the snow to melt in the past few days, so the temperature dropped even more, almost to more than 30 degrees below zero.

Except for a few who had to go out to earn a living, almost all of them were at home and enjoying the warmth of the fire.

When you go out to work in this weather, it's not to work, it's to die.

If you are not careful, you will freeze a certain part of your body.

Not to mention the present, even in the future life, at least the leg will have to be amputated.

"My lord, are we going out today? On such a cold day, it's better to stay at home and rest. ”

Xue Wenju said to Sun Degong, who was wearing cotton clothes.

"I haven't been to inspect the city defenses for a few days, and now it's so cold, if I don't go, I don't know what the soldiers will be like if they are lazy. Moreover, many people are jealous that the official is valued by the governor, and if he is stabbed to the governor by someone with a heart, even the official will have to be reprimanded. ”

Sun Degong said helplessly, "This kind of weather is really life-threatening, and if it wasn't for the last resort, the official wouldn't want to go out." ”

Xue Wenju nodded thoughtfully, if he encountered this kind of weather in the past, he would always stay at home and enjoy the warm stove, and he would not come out no matter what.

Now for the sake of great things, he has to follow Sun Degong.

"It should be frozen over there."

Sun Degong said casually.

"I've heard that it's frozen for a long time, but the ice isn't thick enough to support the weight of the mount."

Xue Wenju said.

Sun Degong nodded, "When the ice is thick enough, I'm afraid it will be the time for the Great Khan to move south." ”

"Of course, the Great Khan is wise and invincible, and it is not easy to capture a small Guangning. At that time, as long as the general makes meritorious contributions, it will be easy to be promoted and make a fortune at that time. ”

Xue Wenju said very carefully.

If anyone hears them, they will be shocked.

These two people actually betrayed Da Ming together, and listening to Xue Wenju's words, I am afraid that his identity in it may not be simple.

"I know."

Sun Degong said.

Soon Sun Degong put on a thick cotton coat inside, and a black mink coat on the outside, plus a hat around his neck, almost wrapped himself tightly.

"Aren't you wearing armor?"

Xue Wenju asked.

"No need, if the nail leaves get on the skin in this weather, it will be fatal."

Sun Degong shook his head and said.

After the two of them packed up, they beckoned their soldiers to prepare their horses.

"My lord, I don't know if you can help me clean up that Lu Yan. That Lu Yan killed my brother, I really can't swallow this breath. ”

Xue Wenju said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Sun Degong couldn't help frowning.

If it weren't for Xue Wenju being the person sent by Houjin, he would have whipped it a long time ago.

Who are you when I am Sun Degong, who is angry for you?

The most important thing for him now is to be careful not to draw attention to others and not to get into conflict with others.

Sun Degong coughed lightly and said, "Lu Yan is Mao Wenlong's person, and he does not belong to the command of this official. Moreover, Mao Wenlong has just made a lot of achievements, and it is when he is popular, and it is really not a wise man to have a conflict with him at this time. ”

Hearing this, Xue Wenju's face showed a dissatisfied expression, which made him look down on Xue Wenju even more.

I really thought that I could order the official by pulling the tiger skin of Houjin, but I was really young and ambitious, and I didn't know how thick the sky was.

"But don't worry, after that Lu Yan leaves, the official will definitely find a reason to take down that Lu Hongsleeve and dispose of it as you like."

"Well, then, since my eldest brother died because of that woman, then it is up to me to let that woman be tortured to death."

Xue Wenju said with a vicious face.

Sun Degong was quiet on the surface, but in fact, he had already despised it in his heart.

Your eldest brother wanted to force x people, but he was killed by his eldest brother.

didn't reflect on his own sins, but went to trouble a weak woman three times and twice, even he, a big traitor, was a little blind.

After the soldiers prepared their horses, Sun Degong took them out with him.

There are hardly many pedestrians on the road, and even some shops are closed.

Since the weather was so cold, the cold wind blew on their faces like knives, so they just walked slowly.
