Inside the Luoyang Palace.

A swordsman was teaching Emperor Ling of Han to practice swords in the garden, he glanced at Zhang Rang, who was beside Emperor Ling, and couldn't help asking, "Can you see my apprentice?" ”

Zhang Rang replied silently: "Let the disciples who have never seen you!" ”

The swordsman nodded convincingly, and continued to watch the Han Ling Emperor dance the sword while guiding on the side.

Outside the city of Luoyang.

Lu Chen hurried to the Tiger Prison Pass with the eight hundred trap camps, intending to return to Shengle Capital as soon as possible, and since the arrival of the grain collection holy decree, he had a vague bad premonition in his heart.

I always felt that things would not be so simple.

Collecting 30 million quintals of grain is not a difficult task for the three northern states, but if a full hundred players receive this task, it will be difficult to complete this grain collection task.

Unless.

Exploit the Han people and forcibly expropriate grain.

Lu Chen's guess is not wrong, the reward players have all received the task of requisitioning grain, the top ten must collect 12 million grains each, and the top 100 must collect 6 million grains each, plus the imperial court's grain collection order, it is exactly 8000000 quintals of grain.

As for Lu Chen's collection of grain will be greater than that of Qi Tongren, it is Zhang Rang who added fuel to the fire and gave Lu Chen a virtual official position of Shao Si Nong, which is equivalent to the official Lang Zhong Ling of Dasi Nong, which is equivalent to Cai Yong's Zhong Lang.

Overall, just a grain collector.

However, the amount of grain collected is more than twice as high, and how can it be collected within ten days?

Lu Chen could only leave Luoyang in a hurry and return to the territory, and he would stick to the territory in a big deal.

Nighttime.

On the only rainy night when the drought came, the majestic rain swept the streets of the town outside the Tiger Prison Pass, Lu Chen had to listen and rest for a while, rented a courtyard, and the eight hundred soldiers were crowded, they leaned against the lobby wall, looking at the raindrops that kept coming outside.

They blocked it with wooden planks, but there was a biting chill from the winter in the summer, they couldn't help but be cold for a while, Lu Chen sat in the hall, looking at the soldiers of the eight hundred trapped camps, the Mixed Yuan Overlord Halberd in his hand stood beside him, and he never put it away.

Gao Shun looked at the sudden heavy rain outside, and said: "Lord, I'm afraid this rain won't stop until tomorrow morning, Lord, you go and rest for a while, just let us guard here." ”

Lu Chen shook his head.

After a pause, he said: "On a rainy night, how could they let it go, along the way, seventeen assassins have died, and they will not give up." ”

Gao Shun took a deep breath and nodded.

From the moment they set off from Luoyang City, the martial artist assassins had already followed, and from time to time they came out and went straight to Lu Chen, their goal was very obvious, only to kill Lu Chen, which made Gao Shun a little frightened.

"Lord, why do you say they let you go to collect grain, and assassinate the lord? Once the lord unfortunately dies in their hands, won't the grain be collected either? ”

Gao Shun asked with some confusion.

Lu Chen shook his head and said coldly: "No, what they want is not to levy food, nor do they really want my life!" If the guess is correct, they want Shengle Du, and they want Shengle Capital to be officially included in the jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty. ”

Gao Shun frowned lightly, remembering that now Starfall City has changed to Shengle Capital, combined with Lu Chen's analysis, he immediately understood, and suddenly said in surprise: "The lord said that Liu Yu from Youzhou was also involved?" ”

Lu Chen smiled faintly.

Suddenly smiled: "I'm afraid I don't know Liu Yu!" ”

Gao Shun was suddenly a little ignorant, but when he thought that since Liu Yu wanted to take Shengle Capital, and His Majesty also ordered it, wouldn't they all acquiesce in this assassination?

"Phew!"

Gao Shun shuddered for a moment.

"In that case, if we return alive, won't we also give them an excuse to go on the expedition? Unless ......"

"Unless you give 30 million loads of grain!"

Lu Chen sneered.

Gao Shun nodded.

What he said was exactly what Gao Shun wanted to say.

"My lord, the total grain production of Shengle Capital itself is less than 10 million quintals, how can we gather 30 million quintals of grain to the imperial court in ten days? Isn't this a clear confession of sin to the Lord? ”

Lu Chen took a deep breath, he was also helpless in his heart, thinking about it, after all, there was no way, according to this situation, he was afraid that the three states of You, He, and Liang would not let him collect half of the grain.

If it is only the entire territory of Shengle Capital, it is not enough to plunder it all, besides, this will only push the territory that he has worked so hard to build up to destruction.

It's better to die on the way.

Maybe.

But will the other party really kill themselves? If it is right, it must be trying to capture itself alive, and as long as the task is not completed, the imperial court will include its own territory for legitimate reasons.

It's disgusting.

Why didn't you notice the ownership of the territory in the first place, damn it! It was really a miscalculation.

Then.

Gao Shun remembered the tips he had mentioned before leaving, and immediately reminded Lu Chen and said, "Lord, didn't the husband and Mr. leave three tips?" He said that if you encounter an unsolvable problem, you can open the first bag, and the clever plan in it may be able to save the day. ”

Lu Chen came to his senses all of a sudden, and immediately took out the first bag given by Frustration, he hurriedly opened it to check, and suddenly, he only saw a few words.

"Xuzhou!"

Lu Chen's face was full of disbelief, and there were only two words on it.

"Is it going to Xuzhou to collect grain?" He analyzed quietly.

Gao Shun took the bag, and his face was also full of confusion.

He shook his head and said: "My lord, maybe the prince and Mr. have expected it, we will hear that as long as we arrive in Xuzhou, we will know the arrangement of the prince and the gentleman." ”

Lu Chen nodded.

Meantime.

A martial artist hidden in the shadows happened to secretly hear the conversation between Lu Chen and Gao Shun, and disappeared into the darkness in an instant, and when he reappeared, he had already arrived in a broken Dao temple on the mountain.

He said: "Leader, they seem to be going to Xuzhou!" ”

Leading the way was a young swordsman warrior.

He was surprised: "Xuzhou? Could it be that he is asking Tao Qian for help? No, you immediately send someone to Xuzhou first, as long as he can't see Tao Qian, then their plan will fail! ”

"Yes! Leader. ”

The swordsman warrior wiped the sword in his hand, looked at the town below the mountain and sneered: "Hmph! Just a few people can be promoted to the rank of general, and I Shi Agui don't even have a position as the emperor's apprentice, since you don't seal it, then I'll take it myself! You all want it, but I won't let you get it! Hahaha. ”

Then.

A figure appeared behind the Taoist temple.

When the man saw the sneering swordsman martial artist Shi A, he immediately glanced at him with disdain, revealing a faint smile, and seemed to have a new plan in his heart.

The next day.

The rain stopped, and it was sunny.

Leaving the town, turning the horse's head towards Xuzhou, when passing through Xuzhou again, the familiar road, the same pursuit, different experience, this time, Lu Chen led eight hundred camps.

No matter how many assassins and soldiers there were on the other side, they all died under the Chongpu knife, until the crossing of the Xuzhou border, Lu Chen looked at the endless army, and countless players, and still felt a little chill in his heart.

"Lord, be careful, they have occupied the crossing."

Gao Shun immediately lined up, guarding against the opposite bow and arrow shooting, and slowly advanced on one side until he collided and engaged with the other party, Lu Chen once again rode on the snow black horse, wearing Jiaolong black armor, holding the Mixed Yuan Overlord Halberd, and rushed into the player's camp to fight.

"Kill! Su Xiaochen will die! ”

The players began to shout, and rushed up on their horses, Lu Chen snorted coldly: "Good come!" Look at the halberd! ”

Boom.

In a row, they were swept past by Lu Chen's halberd, and they were all killed.

Goo!

The players swallowed and took a step back.

And then.

At this time, the trapped camp had been killed, and the soldiers of the first wave of guards outside the crossing had been killed, and a familiar figure appeared on the opposite side, he rode a war horse and came slowly, and the two armies looked at each other coldly.

"Su Xiaochen, I didn't expect it! We'll see each other here again! Ha ha. This time, see if someone else will come to your rescue! He sneered at Landing Dust.

Lu Chen looked at Lin Jun, who had changed his taste a little, a little pity, if it was him who was like a poisonous snake, he might be on guard, but now, he is too arrogant, blinded by hatred, and the poisonous snake that has lost his cool is no longer a poisonous snake.

"Let's call the two brothers Pan Wentao out! With your mere 30,000 garbage, don't pull it out and embarrass people, go back and train it well, maybe you can beg for some oral work under the woman's crotch and go to the battlefield! You Lin Jun are really not qualified! Lu Chen sneered disdainfully.

Lin Jun was instantly furious, he rushed up and shouted, "Su Xiaochen, you are looking for death!" ”

Boom!

Lu Chen lightly halberded and flew Lin Jun's weapon away.

Sneered.

Hehe said: "Look, I can't even hold the weapon steadily!" Hahaha. ”

Lin Jun looked at his arm that was still trembling slightly, and then looked at Lu Chen's light smile, and said a piercing voice in his mouth, which made him suddenly feel a heavy sense of frustration, since he met him and became his enemy again, Lin Jun has never won, whether it is calculation or force, he has never won.

Yes, I've never won.

Hehe!

Lin Jun sneered.

Lu Chen turned around and looked at the valley and forest on both sides, the faint figure was slowly appearing, and the first to appear was Pan Wenlong, who rode a war horse and appeared slowly, holding a big knife, his eyes exuding hatred, and staring at Lu Chen with bared teeth.

Lu Chen smiled faintly.

An attack struck behind him, and Gao Shun reminded: "Lord, be careful. ”

Clang!

Bang bang ......

Lu Chenfeng shook a move lightly, and then defused Lin Jun's sneak attack, he looked at the person behind Pan Wenlong, he was wearing armor, holding an iron bow, and a long sword at his waist, looking like an elegant monk, he was Pan Wentao from Jiaozhou.

But.

Seeing Pan Wentao's dress, he was a little surprised, and vaguely looked around the three thousand soldiers behind him in his heart, all dressed like this.

Lu Chen said secretly: "This is the class of troops in Jiaozhou?" ”

Pan Wentao saw Lu Chen below, and sneered faintly: "I didn't expect that the city lord of the first city in the world would be such a reckless man!" Ha ha! ”

Lu Chen was a little embarrassed, but he didn't expect Pan Wentao's first sentence to be like this.

He raised his head and glanced at his elegant monk's dress, and mocked: "I didn't expect that you, who are on the border of Jiaozhou, turned out to be a sour Confucian student!" ”

Pan Wentao smiled.

"Su Xiaochen, can you make a deal with me, I will help you get 30 million grains and solve this crisis for you, and you, just give me one of the things in your package, how about it?"

Lu Chen frowned.

"What deal?".

"I want the pill formula in your hand!"

Lu Chen shuddered coldly, guarding against Pan Wentao, his heart was full of doubts, he didn't know where to start, and for the first time, he had a feeling of being peeped at.
