Attacked above the market, Liu Wei and the dragoon guards who were responsible for the security of the city did not make any move. It was a slight difference from the past, except that the guards guarded the gates of the city much more strictly than in the past.

People outside the city can enter the city at will, but once inside the city, if they want to leave the city, they must have a pass issued by Liu Wei himself.

Someone ambushed Liu Wei above the market, and it was reasonable for the officers and soldiers guarding the city to strictly guard the city gate. In the city, everyone thought that this was just a response of the defenders in the city to the attack on Liu Wei, and it did not cause much panic.

"Close the gates, no one is allowed to go out of the city!" In the blink of an eye, five days have passed since the day Liu Wei was attacked, and at the city gate, a dragoon guard officer pressed the hilt of his sword, led two dragoon guards, walked to the city gate, and shouted at the Jizhou army guards guarding the city gate, as if he was afraid that others would not hear what he said.

At the moment, just after the moment, hearing the shouts of the dragoon guard, several Jizhou army soldiers at the city gate were stunned, and the leading officer did not immediately order the soldiers to close the door, but ran to the dragoon guard officer, nodded and said carefully: "The general said to close the city gate?" The order we had waited for was just ......"

"Close the gates!" He looked at the officer from head to toe, and before he could finish his sentence, the dragoon guard officer frowned slightly, and repeated again: "No one is allowed to leave the city, and whoever intends to leave the city will be killed!" Those who let others out of the city without permission will be killed! ”

"No! Promise! The tone of the dragoon guard officer was very ruthless, and the officer guarding the city gate was shocked by what he said, and hurriedly answered twice, then turned his face and shouted to several soldiers standing near the city gate: "Why are you still stunned, didn't you hear the general speak?" Close the gates! ”

After getting the officer's order, the Jizhou soldiers did not dare to delay at all, and hurriedly ran to the city gate hole and closed the city gate tightly.

The soldiers ran to close the city gate, and seeing the huge gate slowly closing with the sound of "squeaking", the officer guarding the gate whispered to the dragoon officer, "Close the city gate now, but Your Highness wants to do something to the assassins in the city?" ”

"How do you know about the Assassins?" Before the words of the officer guarding the door fell, the dragoon guard officer furrowed his brows tightly, turned his face to look at him, and asked him with some suspicion: "I'm afraid that no one will inform you about this matter!" ”

"The general doesn't know!" The suspicious gaze of the dragoon guard officer made the officer guarding the city gate stand on end, and he couldn't help but regret that he was cheap, what was not good to ask, but he wanted to ask about it, so he hurriedly accompanied him and said to the dragoon guard: "The assassination of His Royal Highness, everyone in the city knows about the old and weak women and children......

"Uh......" This time, the dragoon guard officer did not look at the officer guarding the city gate with suspicious eyes, but tightly locked his brows, and whispered to the officer guarding the city gate: "This matter is very important, you must not talk nonsense outside!" If it's a bad thing, if it's a bad thing, even if you have a thousand heads, it's not enough for Your Highness to cut off! ”

"Yes! Be! I know below! The dragoon guard officer said a word, and the cold air jumped on the back of the guard officer's spine, and he quickly hugged his fists and bowed down to answer.

Instead of returning the salute to the gatekeeper, the dragoon officer led the two dragoons and walked straight down the street towards the city. As he walked down the street, the Dragoon Guard's eyes glanced to both sides of the street, especially the young men walking in the market.

When they were far away, the officer guarding the door raised his sleeve and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and just as he was wiping the cold sweat, a trace of doubt suddenly appeared in his heart, and he muttered secretly: "What do you know?" Apart from the rumors in the market that even women knew, what else was there to talk about? ”

It was only then that he came back to his senses in amazement, not only did he not get the slightest information from the Dragoon Guard officer just now, but he was so frightened that he almost urinated on the street.

At this time, in the backyard of the Dangcheng Mansion, the injury had just improved, and Deng Zhan, who had not fully recovered, stood in the house where Liu Wei and Guan Qing lived.

Guan Qing stood two or three steps away from Deng Zhan's right side, and looked at Deng Zhan Zhan with helpless eyes from time to time. Liu Wei faced out the window and watched the spring light in the garden outside the window.

In the spring, the grass has already pulled out its buds, and the branches of the trees are full of tender green leaves. In the clumps of grass, there are occasionally a few small white and yellow flowers in full bloom.

"Your Highness!" Liu Wei didn't speak for a long time, Deng Zhan, who had been standing for a long time, still couldn't hold back the anxiety in his heart after all, facing Liu Wei's back, clasping his fists and saying, "The last general ......"

"Don't say anything!" Without waiting for Deng Zhan to finish speaking, Liu Wei turned his back to him, waved his hand, stopped his words and said: "The general only rests in the mansion, and his injuries are not healed, how can he go out?" ”

"Thanks to the grace of His Highness, the last general has been healed!" was blocked by Liu Bian, although it showed that he knew that Liu Bian's mind had been decided, Deng Zhan still wanted to fight more, maintained the posture of holding his fists, and said to Liu Bian: "Those who compete with the last general on the same day, swordsmanship is passed on by Wang Yue. If Wang Yue is really here, even if dozens of dragoon guards rush up, he can't help it! The last will go, and maybe you can block it! ”

"Wang Yue is not in the city!" What surprised Deng Zhan was that as soon as he finished speaking, Liu Wei said to him in a categorical tone, with great certainty: "A year ago, Emperor Wang Yue had passed away. ”

Knowing from Liu Wei that Wang Yue had passed away, Deng Zhan's face was full of shock, his eyes widened, and he subconsciously asked: "Wang Yue is dead?" ”

"This king was also quite surprised when he got the news!" Looking at the greenery of the garden outside the window, Liu Wei nodded slowly, and said in a very indifferent tone: "Although Wang Yue is ten years older than the general, he is also in the prime of life, and he is a famous swordsman in the world, and his physique is not comparable to ordinary people, how can you say that you will die if you die!" ”

"Exactly!" Standing behind Liu Wei, Deng Zhan put down his fist-clasped hands, tightly furrowed his brows, and muttered as if talking to himself: "There must be something strange about this matter!" ”

"Maybe the person the general met is a descendant of Wang Yue!" Liu Wei didn't look back, after hearing Deng Zhan's muttered words, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he coldly threw down a sentence: "The general faced off against this person that day, although he injured the general, he was also injured by the general." In the past few days, the king has not moved, only ordering the defenders of the city gate to put people in, and not allowing people in the city to go out, because it is expected that the assassins outside the city will take advantage of the general's serious injury and rush into the city. Although it is not possible to catch the people behind the scenes at the moment, the nearby assassins cannot stay for another day. This time, the king is going to put all the assassins who are still intending to assassinate the king into the city and catch them all! ”

"Capturing and killing assassins is exactly what the last general is good at!" Liu Wei mentioned that he wanted to wipe out the assassins, Deng Zhan raised his fists again, bowed slightly and said to Liu Wei: "Besides, the only one who can fight that person is the last general!" ”

The wound had not yet healed, and when Deng Zhan clenched his fists and bowed, the muscles in his chest moved slightly. With the pulling of the muscles, there was a sudden unbearable sharp pain from the wound, and the muscles of his cheeks twitched uncontrollably. But he didn't snort, endured the pain, and still resolutely asked Liu Wei to fight.

"The heart of the general, this king knows it!" Not surprisingly, Liu Wei did not immediately agree to his participation in the arrest of the assassin, but turned around, faced him, and said with a bit of concern in his tone: "Although the general endures the pain, the general's face betrays your body!" ”

Maintaining a fist-hugging and bowing posture, the pain made fine beads of sweat ooze from Deng Zhan's forehead, but he did not straighten his waist, but bowed to Liu Wei with a sincere face. That attitude was like telling Liu Wei that if he didn't agree to his invitation to fight, he would always stand like this.

"That's it!" After staring at Deng Zhan for a long time, Liu Wei sighed lightly and said to Deng Zhan: "The general will assume the responsibility of commanding the assassins this time, but remember one thing, all information can only be obtained from the return of the dragoon guards, and this king will never allow the general to take half a step out of the official mansion!" “

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Promising Deng Zhan to command the action was already a great concession made by Liu Zhan, and Deng Zhan didn't dare to gain an inch, so he hurriedly thanked Liu Zhan: "The last general will not disgrace his mission!" ”

At the same time, outside the house where Liu Er lived, a young man in his early twenties was banging on the courtyard door.

While banging on the courtyard door, the young man looked nervously at the street on both sides.

"It's coming! Here it comes! The young man slammed the courtyard door, and the beautiful old man, whom Liu Er called his uncle, ran out of his house, answering the door and running towards the courtyard door.

"Oh no!" As soon as the courtyard door opened, the young man crashed into the courtyard, and after the old beautiful man closed the courtyard door, he lowered his voice and said to the old beautiful man with a frightened face: "The king of Luoyang has attacked!" ”

"I know!" Looking at the panicked young man, the old beautiful man nodded, and whispered very calmly: "Since the day when Liu'er intercepted and killed the king of Luoyang, only people were allowed to enter at the city gate, and no one was allowed to leave the ......."

"Sir only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other!" Without waiting for the old beautiful man to finish speaking, the young man lowered his voice and said to him: "Today, the king of Luoyang ordered the city gate to be closed, and on the streets of the city, the dragoon guards are going door-to-door to check the people who are not in the city!" Many people have been captured, and even my brothers who are waiting in the city have been captured! ”

"Huh?" When the young man said this, the old beautiful man was stunned with a shocked face, and a strong sense of fear appeared on his face, and he asked the young man: "If they find this place and find Liu'er, what should they do?" ”

"The girl is seriously injured and has not recovered, so sir hide the girl quickly!" The young man didn't think about it, threw a word to the old beautiful man, clenched his fists and arched his hand at him, and said, "As long as the dragoon guard can't find the girl, the gentleman can still prevaricate with other excuses!" Don't delay here too much, just say goodbye, Mr. be careful! ”

"Thank you, Your Excellency!" Giving the young man a salute in return, the old beautiful man strode to the courtyard gate, opened the door, and let the young man out of the courtyard, before closing the door again, and running quickly towards the house where Liu Er lived.

"I didn't get the glory and wealth, but I caused a disaster!" As soon as the old beautiful man ran to the door, before he stepped into the house, an extremely indifferent sweet voice came from the room.

Hearing the woman's voice, the old beautiful man's raised feet hovered in mid-air, and he hesitated slightly before stepping forward and entering the room.

Liu Er, whose injuries had improved, was sitting on the bed in the room at the moment, her face slightly upturned, and a pair of beautiful eyes staring at the window without blinking.

The sunlight shone into the room, reflecting on her face as white as ice and snow, adding a bit of delicacy to her already smooth and snowy face.

Her face was still pale and pale, not much different from the day she was injured, and just by looking at her, there would be a feeling that her body was very weak.

"Uncle is not for your good ......" entered the house, looking at Liu Er who was staring at the window, a look that ordinary people could not see through instantly flashed on the face of the old beautiful man, and while approaching Liu Er, he whispered to her: "If my uncle is prosperous and rich, he can find a prince and nobleman for you in the future, and marry you off in a beautiful way, and it will not be in vain for your father to seek fame and fortune!" ”
