A ray of sunlight filtered through a small open window at the top of the wall and cast a small spot of light on the opposite wall.

Although the light made its way into the cell, the area it occupied was too small, and it only brought some dim light to the cell, but it did not dispel the strong musty smell that permeated it.

Before entering the prison, a damp and heavy musty smell rushed towards Liu Wei, he twisted his brows slightly, raised his hand and gently stroked it in front of his nose.

The old man locked in the cell heard the footsteps of people, slowly opened his eyes, and looked at Liu Wei, who had just entered the prison.

Seeing that it was Liu Wei who led the two personal soldiers into the prison, he quickly sat up straight and looked up at the young man in front of him, who was young but had a strong killing aura all over his body.

The old man sat up, Liu Wei muttered to the soldier who was carrying the wine jar and cooked meat, and the soldier guarding the cell hurriedly opened the cell door and let the soldier walk in.

The soldiers put the wine jar and cooked meat in front of the old man, glanced at him fiercely, and muttered angrily: "Your Highness rewards you!" ”

Looking down at the wine jar on the ground and the cloth bag containing meat, the old man raised his head slightly, sighed lightly and continued: "Bloody rain and bloody wind! Bloody! Sensen white bones set the Central Plains, and millions of heroes went down to Jiangdong! Alas! Blessings! Woe to you! The people of the world are going to suffer a lot of hardships! ”

The old man's words were clueless, and the soldiers who followed Liu Wei into the cell and the soldiers guarding the prison did not understand, but Liu Wei listened to what he said, but there were doubts in his heart.

The soldiers who had given the old man wine and meat withdrew from the cell, and the guards closed the door again, and Liu Wei waved his hand at them and let them retreat.

The soldiers and the guards bowed down and retreated, leaving only Liu Wei and the old man sitting against the wall in the gloomy cell.

"Why is the gentleman insulting this king in the street?" Walking to the fence of the cell, Liu Wei frowned and asked the old man, "Are you not afraid that this king will kill you in anger?" ”

After listening to Liu Bian's question, the old man slowly stood up, walked over to him, and stood in the cell looking at each other with him across the fence, his eyes flashing with a look that Liu Bian couldn't understand.

"Your Highness has a bloody disaster, and the village man can't just come to wake up!" After staring at Liu Wei for a while, the old man smiled sadly, turned his back to Liu Wei, and said as if muttering: "If His Royal Highness doesn't die this time, the people in this world don't know how many people will die!" The old man came to remind him that he was really creating evil! ”

"Dare to ask sir, what is the bloody disaster of this king? If this king does not die, how can it bring disaster to the people of the world? The old man's words were headless and brainless, but Liu Wei always felt in his heart that this person seemed to see something, twisted his brows slightly, and asked him a question.

"Don't say it, don't say it!" The old man waved his hand, walked to the wall, put his hands behind his back, faced the wall, and said nothing.

Looking at the old man's back, Liu Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, and he pondered for a moment before he said to him: "This king ordered someone to prepare wine and meat, and Mr. ate it, please leave here and go home!" ”

With that, he turned and walked out of the cell, and asked no more questions of the old man.

Listening to Liu Bian's words, the old man's body trembled slightly, and when Liu Bian arrived at the door and was about to walk out of the prison, he turned around suddenly, looked at Liu Bian's back, and his brows tightened.

When he got out of the cell, Liu Wei turned pale, and beckoned to a team of personal soldiers who came with him and were waiting in the courtyard, and without saying a word, he went straight out of the prison.

On the streets of Yucheng, there are many people walking back and forth, but these people are all ragged and listless, regardless of men, women and children, with a bit of food on their faces.

Now that Liu Wei has settled in Yucheng, and ordered to buy a family business for the people, the people walking around the street saw him, and they all retreated to the side of the road, clasped their fists and bowed deeply to him.

Leading the pro-soldiers, along the way, Liu couldn't stop nodding to the people who saluted him, his neck was a little sore, and then he saw the tooth gate of the barracks from a distance.

Walking to the tooth gate of the barracks, Liu Wei looked up at the wood-carved beast teeth above the tooth gate, and raised his feet into the camp.

Several animal teeth on the tooth gate are carved from the best sandalwood. Although the wooden lines on the beast's teeth can be clearly seen, the sharp shape still makes people look at it, and they can't help but feel a cold chill all over their bodies.

Yucheng is a small city, and the scale of the military camp in the city is not very large. It is more than enough to accommodate 10,000 people, but now there are nearly 100,000 troops stationed here, and the military camp is very crowded.

As soon as he entered the barracks, Liu Wei heard bursts of shouts and slogans from the school yard during the drills.

The shouts were majestic and deafening, adding a bit of a solemn atmosphere to the already murderous barracks.

Back in the barracks, Liu Wei went straight back to the main general's barracks, and as soon as he stepped into the room with his front feet, a soldier guarding the Yamen ran over quickly, attached to the ear of a pro-soldier, and whispered something.

Liu Wei, who walked into the room with one foot and the other foot outside the room, turned his head, looked at the soldiers who had just finished listening to the Yamen soldier's narration and were walking towards him, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Your Highness!" When he arrived in front of Liu Wei, the soldiers clasped their fists with their hands and bowed deeply and said to him: "Someone from the prison just reported that the imprisoned old man had eaten the wine and meat sent by His Highness, and he had lost his breath after a while!" ”

"Nonsense!" Hearing that the old man lost his breath after eating wine and meat, Liu Bian's eyes opened, and he drank the pro-soldier in a low voice: "The wine and meat are not poisoned, why did you die as soon as you ate it?" ”

The soldier didn't speak, just clasped his hands into fists, bowed deeply, and waited for Liu Wei's instructions with a worried face.

Turning around and returning to the barracks door, Liu Wei paced back and forth at the barracks door with his hands behind his back, his brows tightly twisted, he thought for a while, and said to the soldier: "When a person dies in a prison, paper can't contain the fire after all." Put the corpse in the prison compound and take care of it! Immediately put up a notice to find his family's relatives. One should be needed for the funeral, and the king will bear it! ”

"No!" The soldiers answered, turned around and ran out of the barracks.

Looking at the back of the departing soldiers, Liu Wei's brows furrowed slightly, and he muttered in his heart.

The wine and meat were taken out of the room by a personal soldier with his own eyes, and the ingredients in the room were all inspected by special personnel, and it was absolutely impossible for the pyrotechnics to bring poisonous things into the room.

If the old man was really poisoned, the only possibility was that the soldiers who went to get wine and meat were tampered with. But the pro-soldier and the old man did not have a blood feud, and Liu Wei let him take wine and meat, but did not say that he would not eat it, even if the pro-soldier hated the old man, he would not rashly poison him.

If the old man has not died of natural causes, then he wants to use death to bring disadvantage to Liu Wei! Let the people in the city think that King Hongnong is a bloodthirsty butcher who will be revenged!

The back of the soldier who went to the prison to convey Liu Bian's order disappeared outside the tooth gate, and Liu Bian raised his feet and walked into the barracks, frowning tightly, thinking about the old man's strange remarks and who he would be sent to Yucheng to make trouble.

Sitting in the barracks, thinking hard about various possibilities, Xu Shu, who had gone out to do business earlier, ran back in a hurry and broke into the barracks.

"I heard that the old man who insulted His Highness is dead?" As soon as he entered the barracks, Xu Shu asked Liu Wei: "Your Majesty saw a notice posted at the city gate, looking for the old man's relatives, and hurried back!" ”

"This king went to see him!" Sitting in the room, Liu Wei raised his eyes and looked at Xu Shu, nodded and said, "I also asked someone to bring him wine and meat, I don't want him to die after eating wine and meat!" ”

"With His Royal Highness as a person, he will definitely not poison an old man!" With his hands behind his back, Xu Shu walked back and forth in front of Liu Wei a few times, and then said to him: "Your Highness has made this matter public to the world, which has already shown that you are open-minded, don't ask more, if there is any interference, Your Majesty will deal with it!" ”

"That's great!" Xu Shu said that he was going to take over this mess, Liu Wei raised his head and looked at him and said: "What this king doubts in his heart is that the old man behaved strangely, and now he is inexplicably dead, and the matter is really a little confusing!" ”

"A little thing, Your Highness doesn't have to mind!" Standing opposite Liu Wei, Xu Shu frowned slightly, and said to him: "I think that in less than two days, General Zilong should be able to capture Han Xian and return to Yucheng, His Highness has many affairs to deal with in front of him, and there is no need to waste time on a crazy man!" ”

Liu Wei nodded, although he didn't respond, but he still thought about what the old man said to him in the prison.

From the old man's words, Liu Wei heard that he seemed to mean that if Liu Wei did not die, the world would be in chaos.

Liu Wei was very dismissive of this statement. The troubled times have risen, and the four powerful have each taken one place, and they have not yet conquered each other, that is because there is Dong Zhuo as the target of the public, once Dong Zhuo is not there, Haoqiang's ambition will no longer be suppressed, he Liu Wei is just to get a piece of the pie in this troubled world, and find a land that can allow him to live.

Sitting in the barracks, Liu Wei was pondering the deep meaning of the old man's words, and the voice of a personal soldier came from outside the door: "Your Highness, the brother guarding the prison found a line of words in the deceased's cell!" ”

Hearing that there was a line of writing in the cell where the old man was being held, Liu Wei quickly stood up and asked the soldier, "What is the writing?" ”

"Nothing else!" The soldiers clenched their fists and bowed, and said to Liu Wei: "It's just a place name, it's Shanggu Jundu Mountain!" ”

"Upper Valley Jundu Mountain?" After listening to the words of the soldiers, Liu Wei and Xu Shu glanced at each other, and a trace of confusion appeared on their faces, not understanding what the meaning of this place name contains, and they almost read out this place name in unison.

waved his hand to the pro-soldiers at the door, and when the pro-soldiers retreated, Liu Wei asked Xu Shu: "Does the military advisor know what is special about the Shanggu Jundu Mountain?" ”

Xu Shu first shook his head, pondered for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, raised his head to look at Liu Wei, and said to him, "Your Highness, do you remember Lu Zhi?" ”

"Lu Zhi?" Speaking of Lu Zhi, Liu Wei was stunned for a moment, and the memory of the real King Hongnong told him that when Dong Zhuo deposed him, this Lu Zhi was the one with the strongest opposition.

"On that day, Dong Zhuo demoted His Royal Highness to King Hongnong, and Lu Zhi also resigned and left!" Facing Liu Wei, Xu Shu lowered his voice and said to him: "As far as your subordinates know, Lu Zhi did not return to his hometown in Zhuozhou, but went to Shanggu Jundu Mountain and lived in seclusion in the mountains!" ”
