Chapter 1517: Uninvited Guest
The three thousand feather Lin Wei, except for the few who stayed in the barracks and Da Qiao's residence, the rest were all sent out by Zhao Yun to search for the assassins.
The dragoon guards who remained by Zhou Yu's side did not immediately withdraw.
The assassins had not yet been cleared, and Zhao Yun and Sima Yi certainly did not dare to relax the slightest bit about Zhou Yu's safety.
Yu Linwei left the barracks, Zhou Yu was already much more stable in his heart, and he didn't care as much about the dozens of dragoons beside him as he did earlier.
Yu Linwei, who was sent out, brought back the news in just one day.
In a small village thirty miles away from the barracks, they found the body of a woman dressed in black.
The women died in a tragic state, and many of them had terrified expressions.
Knowing that more than 100 women's corpses had been found, Zhou Yu hurriedly ordered Yu Linwei to transport all those corpses to the barracks.
Due to the large number of corpses, Yu Linwei used a full twenty carts to push them back to the barracks.
Yu Linwei, who returned to the barracks, did not push the corpse into the Yuanmen, but placed the corpses one by one at a distance of more than 100 steps from the Yuanmen, waiting for Zhou Yu and others to inspect them.
After several fights with the Assassins, Nameless also knows them well.
Before leaving the barracks, Zhou Yu asked Wuming to come over.
Accompanied by Zhao Yun, Sima Yi and Nameless, Zhou Yu left the barracks and walked straight to the corpse more than a hundred steps away.
When he reached the corpse, he stopped and looked at the female corpse in black lying on the ground.
"How can it be all women?" His brows furrowed slightly, and Zhou Yu asked Yu Linwei with doubts.
Although he asked Yu Linwei, he actually wanted to get an answer from Nameless.
After all, it was Nameless who had confronted these Assassins head-on, not the Feather Forest Guards.
"General!" Standing beside Zhou Yu, Nameless looked at the corpse on the ground and said, "It's all women, which proves that they are assassins?" ”
Turning his head to look at Nameless with a suspicious face, although Zhou Yu did not speak, the expression on his face showed that he was still very puzzled.
"The one who led the Assassin here is a woman named Lady Peach!" and Zhou Yu looked at each other, and said to him namelessly: "This Peach Blossom Lady is really good, and the last general also met her ten years ago. ”
"Oh?" Hearing that Nameless recognized the leader of the assassins, Zhou Yu asked him: "A few days ago, two men were taken to the barracks by Yu Linwei, saying that they were persecuted by a woman, but I don't know what they said about Mrs. Peach Blossom?" ”
"Mrs. Peach Blossom has a delicate face, and she is the best among women!" Smiling slightly, Nameless said: "It's just that this woman is dissolute by nature, if there is no man for a day, she will be weak, so her reputation in the world in her early years was not very good." And she also has a quirk, but any man who has slept with her will be killed by her when she comes, for only one reason, she doesn't want those men who have touched her to touch other women! ”
"What a wicked woman!" Nameless said the name of Mrs. Peach Blossom back then, Zhou Yu frowned slightly and said: "Such a woman, it would not be a pity if she died!" It's just that I don't know where she recruited so many women, and the death of Xiang Xiaoyu is really worrying! ”
"The general still has pity for the jade!" Smiling slightly, Nameless said to Zhou Yu: "Mrs. Peach Blossom only killed swordsmen in her early years, but all the swordsmen who slept with her died on her belly. Later, when no swordsman dared to sleep with him, she started to attack the common people. It was also then that the last general found her, but let her escape! ”
"If the general had killed her back then, there would have been no immediate matter!" Sighing softly, Zhou Yu waved his hand to Yu Linwei who was present, and said to them: "Bury these women alive, don't let the wild dogs drag them away!" ”
A group of Yu Lin guards responded, and dug pits around them one after another, burying the body of the woman in black on the spot.
"General!" Watching Yu Linwei dig a pit to bury the body, a personal soldier ran to Zhou Yu's side, hugged his fists and bowed to him and said, "Jianye is here, ask to see the general!" ”
"Jianye from someone?" With a slight twist of his brows, Zhou Yu asked the soldier, "Who is here?" ”
"Sun Quan's brother, Sun Kuang!" Maintaining a posture of clenching his fists and bowing, the soldiers responded.
"Sun Kuang?" The expressions on his faces became more and more complicated, Zhou Yu and Zhao Yun and Sima Yi on the side glanced at each other, waved their hands to the pro-soldier and said, "Please wait in the barracks, and go here!" ”
The soldier answered, took two steps back, turned and ran towards the barracks.
Looking at the back of the departing soldiers, Zhou Yu said suspiciously: "I'll wait until the assassin is released, Jianye will come, isn't it too much of a coincidence?" ”
"That Sun Kuang has not yet reached the age of a weak crown, but I don't know why Sun Quan sent him!" Zhou Yu muttered suspiciously, and Sima Yi continued: "This person is here, I'm afraid there is a big article!" ”
"Will it ......?" Zhou Yu and Sima Yi were both thinking about something, Zhao Yun seemed to have remembered something, and whispered, "Could these assassins be killed by Sun Kuang?" ”
"From the way the Assassins looked when they were dying, it is clear that they did not commit suicide!" Looking at Yu Linwei, who was digging a pit to bury the corpse, Nameless said: "They must have been slaughtered, and they were in an unguarded situation!" ”
"What do you mean by ......?" As if he was singing a double reed, Nameless made an analysis, and Zhao Yun asked him: "The one who killed them is not their master!" ”
"Highly likely!" nodded, and looked at Zhou Yu again.
With no expression on his face, Zhou Yu did not say anything.
After a while, he clenched his fists and arched at Sima Yi, Zhao Yun and Nameless, and said to them: "A few generals and go back to the camp, and go to meet that Sun Kuang!" ”
"General, please take care of yourself!" Almost at the same time, he hugged his fists and gave Zhou Yu a salute back, and the servants responded.
Feeling in his heart that it was not appropriate to let Sun Kuang wait too long, Zhou Yu said goodbye to the servants, then turned around and walked towards the barracks.
Looking at Zhou Yu's back, Sima Yi whispered to Zhao Yun: "I waited until I found the body of the assassin, so Sun Kuang couldn't wait to come here, thinking that it was because the matter was revealed, and he intended to take the opportunity to persuade Zhou Yu to stay under Sun Quan in Jiangdong!" ”
"That's how it should be!" Nodding, Zhao Yun and Nameless answered in unison, and then Zhao Yun asked Sima Yi: "Zhong Da thinks that Zhou Yu is likely to return to Jiangdong again?" ”
"I'm afraid it's not even half a point!" Shaking his head, Sima Yi opened his mouth and said: "It's just that he still has affection for Jiangdong, if he doesn't completely stand on the position of the imperial court, I am afraid that there will be some twists and turns when the army goes south in the future!" ”
"With Zhongda's intentions, what should I do to ask Zhou Yu to completely break with Jiangdong?" He had already thought of this, but Zhao Yun couldn't figure out how to deal with it at all, so he asked again.
Frowning, Sima Yi said: "Killing Sun Kuang is the best way, but I'm afraid that Zhou Yu will have a gap with us because we killed Sun Kuang......"
"If one of the two generals, Xu Chu and Dian Wei, is here, things will be easy!" The words were only spoken, Sima Yi smiled slightly, turned his head to look at Zhao Yun and Nameless, mentioned Xu Chu and Dian Wei, and didn't say anything more.
"It's nothing more than killing Sun Kuang, just go somewhere!" Having understood what Sima Yi meant, Zhao Yun pressed the hilt of his sword and said to him: "So and so, go and kill that Sun Kuang!" ”
"General Zhao is going to go, I'm afraid it's inappropriate!" Zhao Yun was about to stride towards the barracks, but Nameless hurriedly stopped him and said to him: "When he fought with the assassin, General Zhao was not present, but he captured the assassin!" As for what the assassin said to so-and-so, no one knows, and there are some reasons to kill him! ”
Throwing off such a sentence, Nameless was already striding towards Zhou Yu's barracks.
Seeing the back of the nameless departure, Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, and said to Sima Yi on the side: "This ......"
"General Zhao rest assured!" Laughing and waving his hand, Sima Yi said: "The reason why the last general said this is precisely because he wants the unknown general to go!" ”
"Why is that?" Zhao Yun was still puzzled by Sima Yi's arrangement, and hurriedly asked.
"Although the unknown general has already served the imperial court, he is still a swordsman in his bones!" Smiling slightly, Sima Yi said: "The swordsman has a temperament, and the sword world is happy to be revenge!" To have enmity with others is to draw a sword against each other! The nameless general goes, just find a dispensable reason, and he can kill that Sun Kuang! Once Sun Kuang is killed, Zhou Yu, who saw him doing this, has no choice but to follow the court to the end! ”
Sima Yi made an explanation, and Zhao Yun understood it.
Looking at Nameless, who had already taken many steps, he let out a long breath, and thought silently in his heart, Nameless went to the barracks, and could cut that Sun Kuangli under the sword!
Nameless decided to kill Sun Kuang, and Zhou Yu had already entered the barracks one step ahead of him.
Accompanied by several personal soldiers, Zhou Yu walked straight to the commander's barracks.
When he arrived at the barracks gate, he found two tall men standing at the barracks gate.
The two men pressed the hilt of their swords and stood not far from the side of the soldiers guarding the barracks, and when Zhou Yu arrived, their eyes all turned to Zhou Yu.
Seeing the two men, Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment, but he still quickened his pace and walked towards the barracks.
Seeing Zhou Yu enter the barracks, the two men glanced at each other, although they didn't say anything to each other, the expressions on their faces became extremely strange.
Before entering the barracks, Zhou Yu saw a young man standing by the window in the house.
From the back, the man was only seventeen or eighteen years old, but standing by the window, with his hands behind his back, he was full of a kind of calmness that even a mature man rarely possessed.
Hearing the sound of someone pushing open the door, Sun Kuang hurriedly turned around and looked towards the door.
Seeing that it was Zhou Yu who entered the house, he clenched his fists, his face was full of smiles, and said to Zhou Yu: "Governor, I haven't seen you for many days, are you okay?" ”
