Chapter 474: Why Leave Him Behind

"That's him!" As soon as the purple-faced man got out of the carriage, at the city gate, a soldier sitting against the wall and keeping his eyes on the carriage suddenly raised his hand and shouted: "He is the one who led people to break into the prison!" ”

As soon as the shouts of the soldiers sitting against the wall fell, dozens of dragoon guards wearing red armor and golden feathers on their helmets immediately poured out from the alley not far from the city gate.

Seeing a group of dragoons rushing out of the alley, the purple-faced man who had just gotten off the carriage was taken aback, and without thinking about it, he rushed towards the city gate.

Although this man is a swordsman who is quite famous in the world, he does not dare to hold it up, and with the strength of one person, he fights with dozens of dragoon guards, and escape is the only choice he can make.

What struck him as strange was that when he fled, the soldiers who stopped in front of the carriage did not come forward to stop him, but at the moment when he rushed towards the city gate, they retreated to the side and made way for him.

Before he could recover from the reactions of these soldiers, the purple-faced man heard the sound of crossbow arrows winding in his ears.

He subconsciously followed the sound and raised his head, only to see that on the city wall, more than a dozen dragoon guards had already wound their crossbow arrows and aimed at him.

At the moment when the man looked up, one of the dragoons on the city wall raised the crossbow arrow slightly, and his finger lightly buckled the spring of the crossbow arrow.

With a soft sound of "collapse", a crossbow arrow pierced the air, bringing a strong wind and flying towards the driving Mite.

Mide had clearly not expected the dragoon guard to shoot him first, and when the bolt "poofed" into his head, his eyes widened and he stared at the dragoon guard who fired the arrow at him in disbelief.

Clusters of sharp arrows pierced Mite's forehead and pierced his skull, bringing out a puddle of blood and brains that peeked through the back of Mite's head.

With an arrow stuck in his forehead, Mite's eyes were wide open, and his body fell straight back.

He could clearly hear that someone was falling behind him, and the purple-skinned man did not stop, and was about to rush to the city gate.

Strange things happened again, the city wall had already raised crossbow arrows and aimed at the man's dragoon guard, and instead of picking off the machine spring, he watched him rush to the city gate.

"Catch him!" Just as the man was about to rush to the gates, with a loud shout, a huge net fell from the city wall and fell on his head.

The man was not an idle person, and when he felt that something had fallen on the city, he did not look up at all, but curled up and turned forward, avoiding the big net.

Narrowly avoiding the net, the man jumped up on his legs and rushed towards the gate of the city that was close in front of him.

Seeing that he was about to rush out of the city gate, a black shadow suddenly flashed outside the city gate, and a sharp long sword pointed straight at the man's throat.

A long sword suddenly appeared in front of him, and the purple-faced man drew out the long sword at his waist and swung it forward while running.

The person holding the sword in front of him saw the long sword swinging, but the corner of his mouth slightly pulled up an indifferent smile, and then turned his wrist, and the long sword that was originally pointing at the man changed its angle, drawing a semicircle in front of him, and the sword blade slashed at the man's wrist impartially.

At the head of the city, Liu Wei pressed the battlements with both hands, leaning slightly to watch the fight between the two people under the city. Since the two of them were standing almost at the foot of the city wall, he didn't see it very clearly, and he couldn't help but lean forward a little.

"Your Highness, don't fall!" Liu Wei's body only leaned out a little, and Gao Shun, who came to the city wall with him, hurriedly said to him with concern: "General Deng will definitely capture this person, Your Highness just rest assured." ”

Pressing the battlements with both hands, Liu Wei retreated a little, turned his head to Gao Shun and Zhang Liao behind him and smiled slightly, and said to them: "Deng Zhan came to the city, and this king let him lie dormant for a day, but now it seems that it is really useful!" In this world, except for Emperor Wang Yue, I am afraid that no one is Deng Zhan's opponent! ”

"Your Highness is wise!" Gao Shun and Zhang Liao hugged their fists, quite a bit of sycophancy, and praised in unison. Then Zhang Liao asked Liu Wei: "It's just that there are four gates in the city, how does Your Highness know that this thief will come out of the north gate?" ”

"Arrest this person, at most, you just know who is behind the king!" With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Liu Wei looked at Zhang Liao and said to him: "I'm afraid the main lord has already left the city at this time. Escaping from the city, the people who are secretly manipulating can still think of wanting to cover up and seek the near and far, but it is difficult to deal with! ”

"Since you know, why didn't Your Highness send more people to capture the main master?" Before Liu Wei's words fell, Zhang Liao said to him with a puzzled face: "If you capture the main master, I'm afraid you will get more information than if you capture a swordsman!" ”

"Hmm!" Liu Wei turned his head, facing the outside of the city, listening to the sound of sword strikes coming from the city, as if talking to himself: "I'm going to be slower after all, I want to come to this swordsman, and the other party deliberately stayed, otherwise he should have been out of ......the city a long time ago."

"Huh?" Hearing Liu Bian's words, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun both looked at him with stunned expressions, not knowing why the other party wanted to leave this crucial swordsman behind, and deliberately let Liu Bian capture him.

Frowning slightly, looking out of the city, Liu Wei also had some doubts in his heart. Since the net was opened, he felt that the behind-the-scenes commanders who had repeatedly assassinated him had probably left the city one step earlier, leaving this swordsman behind, except for allowing Liu Wei to completely turn the spearhead, and there would be no other benefit for the heroic side behind the scenes who intended to be unfavorable to Liu Wei.

So why did this person do this?

Ever since he saw the purple-skinned man get out of the carriage on the city wall, this mystery has been haunting Liu Wei's heart. He thought of a thousand reasons, but a thousand reasons didn't seem to be valid, and the truth might only come out when the other party was willing to uncover it.

The sound of gold and iron under the city continued, but it was much more messy than before. Liu Wei, who was standing at the head of the city, was listening to the sound of iron swords clashing, when he suddenly heard the cheers of a group of dragoon guards from under the city.

When the shouts of the dragoons fell, the sound of the battle below had stopped.

Liu Wei turned his head, waved his hand at Zhang Liao and Gao Shun who were standing behind him, and said to them: "I think Deng Zhan has already captured that swordsman, I'll wait and see!" ”

"No!" The two answered, followed Liu Wei, and trotted down the city wall.

As soon as he walked to the city gate, Liu Wei saw a group of dragoon guards surrounding the city gate.

Seeing Liu Wei descend the city wall, the dragoons who were surrounded by a group hurriedly retreated and made way for him.

What appeared in front of Liu Wei was a purple-faced man with two thighs and a right wrist gurgling with blood, sitting on the ground paralyzed, and in front of the man, stood Deng Zhan, who was holding a long sword, and the tip of the sword was pointing obliquely at the ground.

"Your Highness!" Seeing Liu Bian, Deng Zhan held his sword in both hands and saluted Liu Bian.

Nodding to Deng Zhan, Liu Wei walked up to the purple-faced man, put his hands behind his back, and walked around the man while looking down at the man.

Sitting on the ground, the man looked up and glared at Liu Wei with an angry face, as if he was completely ignoring the wound stabbed by Deng Zhan.

However, Liu Wei knew that the swords stabbed by Deng Zhan were all directly taken from the man's meridians, and the meridians were broken, I am afraid that even if the man is healed, he will not be able to walk or hold the sword in the future.

"Escort to the government!" Walking around the man, Liu Wei stopped his steps, waved his hand at the man, and gave an order to the dragoon guard on the side.

When the dragoon guards answered, Liu Wei didn't say much, turned around and walked towards the city.

Zhang Liao and Gao Shun followed closely with Liu Wei. Deng Zhan, who was standing in front of the purple-faced man, waited until a few dragoons tied up the man, and also trotted after Liu Wei and the others.

"I'm afraid that this person and General Deng have fought fifty or sixty moves?" As soon as Deng Zhan caught up, Liu Wei, who was walking in front, said to him: "To be able to fight with the general like this, this person is also a person." ”

"Yes!" Following behind Liu Wei, Deng Zhan replied as he walked: "The last general knows this person, he is originally a Hetao clan, living with the Huns all the year round, and he came to the Central Plains two years ago, as if he was under Yuan Shu's account!" ”

"In that case, there is no need for a second trial!" Turning his head and smiling at Deng Zhan, Liu Wei said to Deng Zhan and Gao Shun and Zhang Liao on the side: "Earlier, this king had already guessed that the assassination was repeated, and it had something to do with that Yuan Shu......

"Your Highness!" Before Liu Wei's voice fell, Zhang Liao on the side asked him very puzzled: "Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao are brothers, why is Yuan Shao bent on following His Highness, but Yuan Shu is ......?" ”

"Wen Yuan doesn't know!" Turning his head and glancing at Zhang Liao, Liu Wei did not stop, but slowed down his pace slightly, and said to Zhang Liao while walking forward: "Yuan Shao is a concubine, and Yuan Shu is a concubine." Although these two are half-siblings, they have had many discords since they were young. In addition, Yuan Shu recently obtained the jade seal of the country from Sun Ce, I am afraid that he has already had the heart to be called the emperor......"

"Damn!" Zhang Liao, who said that Yuan Shu had long been the emperor, and had never spoken much, scolded casually: "Yuan Shu, who is just a mere one, dares to be so big." If he is called emperor, the last general is willing to lead the army to break through Huainan, pull him out of his lair, and cramp and peel his skin! ”

"Wen Yuan doesn't need to be anxious!" Stopped and waved his hand at Zhang Liao, Liu Wei had an indifferent smile on the corner of his mouth, and said to Zhang Liao: "If the sky wants it to die, it will make it crazy." Yuan Shu is the emperor, it is nothing more than a clown ear jumping off the beam, why should I mind? ”

"Your Highness!" After appeasing Zhang Liao, Liu Bi was about to turn around and continue to walk forward, Deng Zhan, who was following him, stepped forward quickly, stood beside Liu Bi with his fists and said to him: "On the way to the city, Yu Bandao once passed by a small village and accidentally bumped into a group of people......

"Oh?" From Deng Zhan's words, Liu Wei heard something unusual, his brows furrowed slightly, and he walked forward slowly, while muttering for a moment, before saying to Deng Zhan: "This matter can be said back to the official mansion!" ”

Deng Zhan came to the city the day before, Liu Wei was too tired because he had not rested to take care of Guan Qing for two consecutive days, and when he learned the news that he had entered the city, he only gave an order to Yu Linwei, who had summoned him, so that he would not show his face and meet Deng Zhan in the future.

Although he didn't let Deng Zhan tell what he met on the road on the street, Liu Wei faintly felt in his heart that this incident might be related to the ambush he was in Handan at the beginning and some strange phenomena that happened in Handan City.

Along the way, Liu Wei's brows were tightly wrinkled, and his face was gloomy and terrifying.

On the streets, there were still some people walking around, and more shops were open to make a living. But when Liu Wei and the others passed by, the people in the city hurriedly hid as if they had seen a plague god, but the shops did not dare to close the door because he passed by, for fear that one would not be good, but would cause trouble.

Liu Wei didn't care how the people of the city reacted, anyway, in this city, he wouldn't delay too long, and when Guan Qing was injured, he would lead the three guards to chase after the main army.

The reason why he was in Dangcheng, except for ordering the people to run their own businesses, did not take any measures to reassure the people, just because Liu Wei considered that if the city was governed like Luoyang, and the people adapted to the way of life of the people of Luoyang, I am afraid that Yuan Shao would take over this place in the future, which would leave Yuan Shao with a lot of troubles.
