Looking at the middle-aged man with a smile on his face, Zhang An's tone was extremely cold, "So just now you were also pretending to rob the Dao, but in fact you were tempting?"

"Not bad. The middle-aged man generously admitted, "Although there are also eyeliners at the gate of the city, saying that there are men who are suspected of being the elder brother entering the city, but the elder brother should also know that some of the clues are better to see with their own eyes, so they took someone to test it to determine whether it was the elder brother himself." ”

"Who are you?" asked Zhang An for the second time.

He really couldn't understand the middle-aged man in front of him, when he was talking to the middle-aged man just now, he had quietly pressed the middle-aged man with his momentum, but the middle-aged man didn't seem to be aware of it, and he didn't have the slightest sense of panic.

You must know that Zhang Anke is not the time when he first came to this node, he has experienced several bloody battles and reached the realm of Gangqi, and his momentum is not something that ordinary martial artists can bear.

This middle-aged man is either extraordinary in cultivation, or he is accustomed to fighting scenes and has a tough heart.

"A certain name is Han Lie, who is a brother who loves him, and is the head of the Guangling rangers. The middle-aged man put away the smile on his face, clasped his hands into fists, and saluted Zhang An.

Han Lie?Zhang An frowned and thought for a while, he had never heard of this name.

Then he thought of the word ranger that the middle-aged man said, and his brow furrowed even deeper.

There are two interpretations of the term ranger.

One refers to the righteous who is light-hearted, bold and generous, and helpful to the righteous people.

The second refers to the ruffians.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, the definition of the word ranger was more inclined to the second type.

Han Lie saw the expression on Zhang An's face, and said with a wry smile, "It seems that the elder brother has a lot of prejudices against the rangers." ”

"I can't say anything about prejudices. Zhang An said lightly: "It's just that I've never heard of the righteous deeds of the rangers in the past." ”

Han Lie had an even more wry smile on his face, and said to Zhang An, "Please also ask the elder brother to move, and Rong will explain to the elder brother." ”

"Don't be so affectionate, brother, do I have a good relationship with you?" Zhang An was ready to make a move, he had to figure out how this Han Lie could get his detailed information.

This feeling that a person can know what he has experienced makes Zhang An extremely unhappy

General Zhang moved slowly. Han Lie changed his title and gave Zhang An a big salute, "General Rong Xu for half an hour, and after half an hour, he will be at the disposal of the general." ”

Zhang An looked at Han Lie, pressed the murderous intent in his heart, nodded expressionlessly, and followed Han Lie into an inconspicuous house.

Half an hour later.

Zhang An put down the letter in his hand, looked at Han Lie with a sincere expression, and fell into deep thought.

Han Lie told him a shocking piece of news.

Because Cao Cao didn't like the family gatekeeper, he promoted the poor scholars, and deliberately got rid of the family, so that the family could not get the benefits he wanted.

Therefore, some families joined forces, intending to make Cao Cao's army rout when Cao Cao attacked Jiangdong, so as to achieve the goal of swaying Cao Cao in the future.

If Cao Cao is unwilling to bow his head, then kill Cao Cao and find a puppet from Cao Cao's heirs.

Han Lie said that the news came from one of his friends who lived and died.

His brother was a ranger in his early years, and later went to Chen Deng's house to become a servant in order to make a living.

About three months ago, the father and son of the Chen family were discussing the matter of conspiring with other families in the study, and he was asked to go into the study to change the spice tea.

Although the father and son of the Chen family treated him very well, he had always admired Cao Cao, and after struggling for a long time, he still conveyed the news to Han Lie, who also respected Cao Cao, when he went out to drink.

After Han Lie received the news, he was not impulsive, but spent a while investigating the news.

It's not that Han Lie doesn't believe in his life-and-death friendship, it's just that such a big matter is involved, if something goes wrong, he is definitely not the only one who is unlucky, his subordinates, and his family members will also be affected, and it will be difficult to escape.

Because of his friend of life and death, the house went out of the water a month ago, and none of the family escaped, and all of them were killed in the fire.

"Our rangers have their own ways of communicating with each other. Han Lie sighed, "After finding some trustworthy people to investigate together, I found that in addition to the Chen family, more than a dozen families such as the Cao family in Xuzhou and the Wang family in Taiyuan were also implicated in this matter. ”

Zhang An rubbed his eyebrows and felt a little headache.

Glancing at Zhang An, Han Lie hesitated for a moment and said, "There is also the Xun family, who are also involved in this matter. ”

"Xun family?" Zhang An couldn't believe what he heard, "Which Xun family?"

"Xun Lingjun's Xun family. Han Lie said.

Zhang An no longer feels a headache, but wants to die.

Although Zhang An likes the history of the Three Kingdoms more, and has also read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he can't even remember the year name, and can only barely remember some wonderful battles and heroic deeds, and sometimes even confuses the Romance with the official history.

Why did the Xun family get involved in this matter? Does Xun Yu know about this matter?

If Xun Yu Xun Yu also knew about this, but did not stop it, Xu Du would be in danger.

However, although Han Lie said that he had a nose and eyes, and was very sincere, Zhang An only believed one-third of it.

The family conspired with Cao, such a big thing, Zhang An has no impression in either the romance or the official history.

So either Han Lie lied to him, or although this incident did happen, it was suppressed by Cao Cao with superb skills, and he didn't even splash a little water.

It's just that no matter whether Han Lie is lying to Zhang An or not, Zhang An has to investigate this matter and prevent it from happening as much as possible.

If Cao Cao is really defeated, hundreds of thousands of troops will be destroyed, and then the Sun-Liu alliance will invite Liu Zhang and Ma Teng and several princes to join forces, maybe Cao Cao may really be completely defeated.

At that time, Lu Bu, who was a general under Cao Cao, was Gao Shun and had a worrying fate.

However, it is absolutely impossible to just listen to Han Lie's words alone, it seems that he is going to go to Chen's house to look for evidence.

Thinking of going to Chen's house, Zhang An's head grew three times larger.

The last time I fought in Wangjia Village, a celestial man popped out, and if I went to the Chen family's house to check, I didn't know how many celestials were waiting for me.

Zhang An, who thought that he had reached the high stage of Gangqi and that his strength should be enough, suddenly felt that he was still a salted fish that was still turning over.

"By the way, how did you know about me?" Zhang An asked casually while thinking hard about how he should do it.

"Since it was determined that the family intended to murder Cao Gong, it was natural for him to collect the family's recent information. Han Lie looked at Zhang An with admiration, "In the battle of Wangjiacun, General Zhang was able to defeat so many masters, which really made a certain admirer." ”

Zhang An understood.

The family's killing of Wangjiacun and himself should have been in line with the purpose of Liwei, so they did not deliberately cover it up, as long as someone with a heart investigates a little, they can understand the cause and effect of the matter, so as to know the role played by Zhang An in this matter.

Thinking of this, Zhang An suddenly had an ominous feeling.

If even the rangers can investigate themselves, then Wang Yue, Lu Bu, Xun Yu, and they will naturally be able to find themselves, won't their whereabouts be exposed?

Thinking of Lu Bu angrily appearing in front of him, Zhang An felt that his breathing was about to stop.

In fact, Zhang An underestimated these rangers, and he was also a little worried.

The reason for the whole thing was because Guo Xianling wanted to take the sword and kill people, and the family would naturally block the news from Cao Cao's side, and Guo Xianling's assassination by Zhang An had been completely covered up by the family, and the news Xun Yu got was just that Guo Xianling died of a violent illness and didn't care too much.

This also reflects how terrifying the power of the family is.

These rangers may have a somewhat unbearable character behavior, but in terms of roosters and dogs, thieves, and intelligence gathering, they are far better than the intelligence system established by Cao Cao himself.

After all, the family will keep an eye on Cao Cao, but where will they pay attention to the ruffians in the city?

This also gives the rangers an opportunity.

"Because the assassination of Chen Deng was so important, only three people were selected from among the brothers to participate in the operation. Han Lie's voice rang out, interrupting Zhang An's association, "These three people are innocent, and they have received the great favor of Cao Gong, they are absolutely credible, but although they are credible, they are not very outstanding in terms of force, so I found General Zhang, hoping that the general can help us and others." ”

After listening to Han Lie's words, Zhang An said, "I need to investigate this matter myself, if this matter is true, I will come to Guangling to find you again." ”

"Good. Han Lie said happily: "A certain is waiting for the general." ”

After Zhang An carefully inquired about the location and layout of the Chen family and the Taishou Mansion, he got up and nodded to Han Lie and walked out of the residence.

With the little money left to buy pen, ink and paper, Zhang An went straight to the outside of Guangling City.

Coming outside the city, Zhang An and Xiao Hei converged.

"Zhang An, where is the horse?" Xiao Hei couldn't help but ask curiously when he saw that Zhang An was still leading a thin horse.

After nearly three months, with Zhang An's efforts, although Xiao Hei's pronunciation is still a little strange, his daily communication has been unhindered.

"Blackie, I need you to do me a favor. Zhang An took out his pen and ink, and began to write and draw on the paper, "You take my personal guard token and help me send this credit to Xu Du as soon as possible and hand it over to Lu Bu." ”

Regardless of whether what Han Lie said was true or not, Zhang An felt that he had to remind Lu Bu, and he didn't care if he would expose his whereabouts.

"Why? Xiao Hei wants to join you. Xiao Hei said suspiciously.

Zhang An stopped his pen and patted Xiao Hei's shoulder, "This matter is very important, you must help me." ”

"Oh. Xiao Hei nodded, "Since that's the case, then Xiao Hei will help Zhang An." ”

"When this is successful, I will treat you to something delicious. Zhang An carefully folded the letter, stuffed it into an envelope and handed it to Xiao Hei.

If this matter is true, it is no wonder that the family has not sent anyone to bother him in the past three months, and Cao Cao, who wants to plot as the hero of the world and the top talent, naturally has to concentrate manpower and material resources and kill him with one blow.

It's just that nearly three months have passed since Han Lie got the news, and he doesn't know where the family's plan has become, but seeing that there is no news of Cao Cao's defeat in Guangling, he shouldn't have had time to do it yet.

I hope that Han Lie is lying to himself about this matter, otherwise there will definitely be a war between Cao Cao and the family.

Seeing Xiao Hei disappear from his sight with dry food on his back and a letter and token, Zhang An led two horses to find an inaccessible place, closed his eyes, and waited for the night.
