Dongcheng, Ningyuan County, is a gathering area for ordinary people, with dense houses and many small alleys.

In one of the extremely remote alleys, there were not many pedestrians at the moment, except for three or five old women sitting at the door of the house chatting, there was only one old man walking slowly, and when he saw this old man, those old women were all greeted with smiles on their faces.

Although this old man is rickety, he is very amiable, always has a kind smile on his face, and has a good relationship with his neighbors.

He moved here a few years ago, and it is said that he was a merchant in his early years, had some money, bought a few houses here to enjoy his old age, and lived here with his wife, and a son and a daughter were in the market, opening a small shop pù to do business. Because of his wealthy family, he often helps his neighbors in need, and is very loved by everyone.

The old man smiled and walked to his door, and the figure disappeared into the room in the blink of an eye, and the door was closed. But as soon as he entered the courtyard, the rickety body instantly straightened, his pace was vigorous, his face was no longer as calm as before, his face was anxious, and he rushed to the east house.

"General Zhou! Big things are wrong! ”

There is a young man sitting in the room, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his heroic spirit is elegant, and he has a folding demeanor, which is Jiangdong Zhou Lang.

At this moment, when he heard the anxious call, he was completely unmoved, his expression was calm, and his eyes never took off the scroll in his hand. "What?"

The old man rushed through the door and bowed in a hurry. "General Zhou, Ningyuan County has been blocked, and the soldiers are posting examples to arrest you everywhere! Let's try to go, I'm afraid it won't be two days before we find out here. ”

"Oh?" These words finally attracted Zhou Yu's interest. He raised his head with a smile: "When did the lockdown start?" ”

"Half an hour ago!" The old man was unmoved when he saw him. Even more anxious. "General. I've reached out to the others to try to sneak out tonight! ”

"I can't go!" Zhou Yu smiled, his eyes flashed: "Since I have been found, I can't leave, tonight the city must be strictly guarded, if you want to escape, it may be difficult to reach the sky!" ”

"How about that!" The old man was so anxious that he walked around the room and said decisively: "No matter what. We also want to send the general out of the city, and we will think of a way! ”

Zhou Yu saw that he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and couldn't help but smile and shake his head: "Don't worry, I won't leave!" ”

"How's that going to work! The general is an important minister, if there is an accident, how to deal with it, I am afraid that we will all be punished! The old man's eyes widened.

Zhou Yu smiled incomprehensibly, did not answer this question again, but said: "I still want to play a few more games of chess in Ningyuan, how can I go?" ”

Seeing his old god there. The old man's heart was about to jump out, and he was in a hurry. "General. Now that the incident has happened, what kind of chess are you playing, back to Jiangdong, you can play with whoever you want! ”

"Hahaha......" Zhou Yu finally couldn't help laughing, shook his head and said: "This chess, I just want to play with the lord of Jingzhou!" ”

When the old man heard this, he finally understood a little, and suddenly said in astonishment: "What does the general mean?" ”

"I said, don't worry, you can do whatever you have to do, just don't expose yourself! Wang Ziyang has already come to Ningyuan, I want to meet him. Zhou Yu said with a smile.

"General Wang is here? Why haven't you heard of it? The old man was surprised.

Zhou Yu looked at him and said calmly: "I'm afraid it's been more than a day, but it's much faster than I expected!" Jingzhou is indeed full of talents, it is really not easy to find me here so quickly, if it is a few days later, there will be no room for maneuver in the affairs of the barbarians, but now it is a failure, and it is difficult to do all the work. ”

"Hey!" With a sigh, Zhou Yu's voice changed again, and his eyes showed a cold light. "But no matter what, at least the two most basic purposes must be accomplished, and it will not be in vain for me to come all the way to this experience!"

The old man was shocked and wanted to dissuade: "General, my subordinates think it's still ......"

"Needless to say!" Zhou Yu showed considerable courage and interrupted the old man's words without hesitation: "Before tomorrow morning, you find out where Wang Xu is, I want to see him!" ”

"This ......," the old man suddenly looked embarrassed. General, this lord of Jingzhou came secretly, and he has never appeared anywhere, I'm afraid it's not easy to check! ”

"What's so hard to check? Don't tell me, you don't even recognize the appearance of the Lord of Jingzhou. ”

Zhou Yu glanced at the old man deeply, and then said calmly: "He came quietly, he must have been afraid of spreading the news and frightening the seditions, so he intended to make a secret visit." In this case, when looking for a place to live alone, the most convenient is a post house restaurant. Due to the complexity of the personnel, it is not only convenient to conceal his whereabouts, but also has enough freedom and convenience to act, and even his spy subordinates can hide it. ”

The old man suddenly realized, and said with admiration on his face: "Then the subordinate will notify everyone to take action now!" ”

"Go ahead! Remember, there will be a result by tomorrow morning, and I will take the initiative to see him, not be found by him! Zhou Yu said meaningfully, and then once again focused on the bamboo slip in his hand.

"Subordinates retire!"

The old man bowed and slowly withdrew......

At this time, Wang Xu was also waiting for news!

The sergeants of Quan Ningyuan all went out to find Zhou Yu, although the soldiers were all inexplicable, and they didn't know what the use of finding an unknown young man was, but they still faithfully carried out the order.

At night, Wang Xu, Dian Wei, Huang Xu, and Liao Hua were exchanging martial arts, and Ling Wanqing hurried back.

"Lord, someone is looking for you!"

"Looking for me?" Wang Xu was stunned for a moment, and then said strangely: "Who knew that I came to Ningyuan?" Did you sue the sù spy department? ”

"Nope!" Ling Wanqing shook her head and said decisively: "Except for Guo Jia, no one else knows about the lord's coming here. ”

Wang Xu was even more puzzled, scratched his forehead and said, "That's really strange, who will look for me?" Where did you hear about it? ”

"Today, when the spy department was secretly searching for Zhou Yu, they suddenly found that someone was quietly inquiring with a portrait of the lord, but unfortunately we couldn't catch it, and that man died in battle!" Ling Wanqing replied softly.

Wang Xu didn't speak, he fell into deep thought, but Dian Wei suddenly interjected: "Lord, I can see a change of residence." Otherwise, it may be dangerous. ”

"No!" Wang Xu waved his hand. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Wanqing." Who do you deduce is looking for me? ”

"Now the one who will inquire about the news of the lord in Ningyuan County can only be the person who conspired to instigate the barbarian rebellion!" Saying that, Ling Wanqing was very puzzled again: "But since Zhou Yu noticed the arrival of the lord, why didn't he immediately think of getting out, but instead looked for it like this, could it be that he wanted to hijack the lord and get away?" ”

Wang Xu shook his head and said with a headache: "Hijacking, how to hijack?" Zhou Yu is not a stupid person. How can I not bring a master guard by my side, a few people do not work at all, besides, this is in Ningyuan, I Jingzhou is heavily controlled, and the whole city is patrolled, he has a chance? It only takes a moment to be surrounded and suppressed, and it is meaningless! “

"He Zhou Yu would not do such a stupid thing, there must be other reasons for doing this, I think this matter is probably much more complicated than we thought!"

Ling Wanqing thought for a moment. also recognized these words and asked, "Lord." So what do we do now? ”

"Don't do anything, rest early, under the search of the whole city, there will be a harvest by tomorrow afternoon at the latest, Zhou Yu doesn't have time to wait!"

After speaking, Wang Xu didn't say much: "You all go to sleep, wake up at night!" ”

"No!"

Back in his room, Wang Xu put the sword on the side of the bed, and slept with his clothes, thinking about the causes and consequences of this matter over and over again, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was wrong, and there was a faint feeling that Zhou Yu was probably not so simple.

The night was spent in infinite loneliness, Dian Wei, Huang Xu, Liao Hua and others carefully watched out for a night, but nothing happened, and the next day it was still sunny, not even a little wind and grass.

After Wang Xu finished washing, he practiced martial arts in the courtyard as usual, and his clothes flew between the flashes, and the sword qi was vertical and horizontal, but he did not hurt a single grass or tree.

After a while, an hour had passed, and when he was about to finish his work, there was a sudden "bang" knock on the door of the single courtyard.

Everyone's hearts suddenly burst into their hearts, and they looked at each other, not knowing who it was.

But Wang Xu didn't stop, still dancing his sword, but frowned slightly: "Yuan Jian, open the door, be careful!" ”

"No!" Liao Hua answered, walked quickly to open the door, and then suddenly jumped back.

The old wooden door opened in response, and a beautiful young man with a graceful demeanor appeared in the eyes of everyone, with a gentle smile on his face.

The eyes of Dian Wei and the others, who were highly vigilant, instantly froze. "Zhou Yu?"

"Hahaha......" Zhou Yu laughed proudly: "Your Excellency is carrying a halberd, and his power is amazing, compared to the ghost god Dian Wei and General Dian, who are powerful in the world!" Unexpectedly, the contemptible name is small, and he is fortunate to be able to enter the ears of the general. ”

"Don't dare to be!" As the saying goes, don't stretch out your hand and don't hit a smiling person, although Dian Wei doesn't have a good face, but Zhou Yu speaks very politely, and he doesn't want to have a seizure immediately.

Zhou Yu didn't pay much attention to it, but looked at Wang Xu, who was dancing the sword, and sighed in admiration: "I have heard for a long time that General Wang is both civil and military, and it really lives up to its name, this swordsmanship is majestic, amazing, brisk, erratic, and more energetic, which shows that he is really a rare master." ”

Although Wang Xu was very surprised when he glanced at Zhou Yu just now, he calmed down and laughed loudly: "Gong Jin is also a master of the sword, how dare this general get an axe?" ”

As he spoke, he had already put away his sword and stood up, and his sharp gaze approached Zhou Yu: "Gong Jin, as an important minister in Jiangdong, you are not in Jiangdong to share worries, why did you come here to Jingnan?" ”

Zhou Yu did not have any panic in the face of the implicit questioning, and was calm: "The general and my lord are a family, there has been no war in Jiangdong recently, and the contemptible people came to parade to admire General Wang's method of governing government, just to study!" ”

Wang Xu was also smiling, but his words were pressing step by step: "It is common for envoys to visit each other, and it is necessary!" But why didn't he inform the general in advance, and instead kept his whereabouts so secret? ”

Zhou Yu replied without changing his face: "If you tell the general, when the contemptible people look around, they can only see the face, but not among the people, can An know whether his decree is valid?" ”

As he spoke, he saluted very respectfully: "In ancient times, there have been such things to travel and study, and the contemptible people are also dedicated to the people of Jiangdong, if there is anything sloppy and brings trouble to the general, I hope the general will forgive me!" ”
