In the western suburbs of Wuji County, a new grave.

Zhen Yi knelt in front of Zhang Pu's grave, sighed for a long time, and still couldn't bear to leave when it was almost dusk, showing his sincerity, outsiders thought it was because of the friendship between the two for many years, but Zhen Yi himself knew that it was because of the guilt in his heart. Others only knew that Zhang Pu was killed by Lu Chen, but he knew that Zhang Pu died because of him, and Zhang Pu had already surrendered, but he forced Zhang Pu to recruit dead soldiers to assassinate Lu Chen, and he was killed by Lu Chen.

Speaking of which, Zhang Pu was killed by Zhen Yi. Zhen Yi just wanted to test whether Lu Chen was a reckless man, and it turned out that Lu Chen was cautious and smart, so Zhang Pu died, and Zhen Yi was quite satisfied with Lu Chen.

"Father, please go back! It's getting late. ”

On the side, Zhen Yan reminded in a low voice.

Zhen Yi nodded, and Zhen Yan helped him up, silently reciting in his heart: "Zhang Pu, don't blame the old man!" As a county magistrate, if you lose the city, Duke Yuan will also ask for your head. Now, if I borrow Lu Chen's hand to kill you, your family will be treated preferentially by Duke Yuan, you ...... Look at it. ”

"Father! Lu Chen'er deceived people too much, and tried to destroy my Zhen family, so he couldn't stay. Zhen Yan remembered that Lu Chen forcibly broke into Zhen's house, bombed his father with a bomb, and forced his father to sign a marriage certificate, and only felt inexplicably ashamed.

Zhen Yi smiled dumbly: "Can't stay?" And what can be done? ”

Zhen Yan gritted his teeth and said: "Find a dead man, stab him!" ”

There was a flash of light in his eyes, and then Zhen Yan's gaze became cloudy again: "No need." ”

"Why? Was the father willing to swallow this shame? Zhen Yan roared.

"Let's tell you this, Yan'er......" Zhen Yi looked at the setting sun in the distance, "We are not qualified to fight to the death with him, he is a prince, he can fight a bloody way in Cao Mengde's hundreds of thousands of troops, go straight to Yanmen, and save Gongsun Yu from death with more than 1,000 cavalry, and even more can attack the east and west, and go down to the seven inches of Yuan Gong-Lecheng." Do you think we have a comparison with him? The one who can play with Lu Chen is Yuan Gong, Cao Mengde, the heroes of the world, not our businessmen......"

"But...... The child can't bear it, he can't bear to bully his father! Zhen Yan's eyes were bloodshot, in fact, what he couldn't bear the most was being toyed with and applauded by Lu Chen several times.

"Bullying? Since ancient times, businessmen have been lowly, how can they not be humiliated? Do you think that a father can really call Yuan Shao a brother? Do you know what kind of face he had when he asked my Zhen family for money, grain, and grass behind his back? Zhen Yi laughed at himself, "Although this Lu Chen is rebellious, he is not good at all, his temperament is straightforward and does not make false gestures, if you see the way he looks to your sister and your mother, you should know that this is a person who loves and hates clearly." Maybe...... Mi'er followed him, which can be regarded as a good home. ”

"How can a father do that? Was he scared? Zhen Yan was furious, and his words were a little disrespectful.

Zhen Yi was not angry, and finally said the words from the bottom of his heart: "Perhaps, the Zhen family should also prepare an extra way back!" ”

If Lu Chen heard Zhen Yi's words, he would definitely be shocked to realize that he had fallen for this old fox. The old fox first pretended to be sick and humiliated himself, but in fact, he secretly borrowed reinforcements and Zhang Pu's dead soldiers, and had already found out Lu Chen's reality. On the contrary, Lu Chen still doesn't know Zhen Yi, the old fox, to be precise, it is Lu Chen who looks down on Zhen Yi.

"The way back? Lu Chen? Zhen Yan was stunned, "Just by Lu Chen's child?" Fathers and sons are both reckless men and betrayers, what is there to rely on? Father ......"

Zhen Yi didn't listen to Zhen Yan's ramblings, and asked the old housekeeper to help him board the ox cart and go home.

"Lu Chen! Father is afraid of you, but I, Zhen Yan, am not afraid of you! I'm going to kill you! Use your head to return to Yuan Gong's place in exchange for the status of my Zhen family! ”

Zhen Yan did not follow his father back, he rode a horse and fell behind, with a few close retinues, far away from the Zhen family's convoy, and then turned into a small road and came to a small mountain village on the outskirts of the city.

The sun is setting.

Zhen Yan left his relatives in the same place and rode alone to the old locust tree at the head of the village.

"What's going on this time?"

A cold female voice came from the tree, but she didn't know where she was.

"Zi'er, I invite you to come, it is indeed a matter of importance. Of course, you can also choose not to do it. Zhen Yan looked at the tree and smiled bitterly, she didn't even want to come out to see me. The second son of the dignified Zhen family wants to take a concubine, but the other party is still a reckless woman, why should she refuse? How dare you refuse?

"What?"

"As you wish, this time it's a killing!"

"It's no longer all those little things about stealing information and spying on other people's convoys?"

"It's not."

"Who?"

"Lu Chen."

"Lu Chen? Who is it? ”

"Forehead ......"

"He is the cavalry general who broke through Wuji County the day before yesterday."

"The one who snatched your sister?"

"Uh...... He is heinous, and his death is not a pity! I've heard that he robbed your village. ”

"Contrary to your opinion, we all think he is a good man, he borrowed dozens of men, gave a lot of money and food, killed the dog of the old Wang family next door, and gave back three hundred yuan."

"This ......," Zhen Yan was stunned and said, "If you don't want to do it, then forget it." ”

"Possibly offset the money my father owes you?"

"Lu Chen's department is very elite, and in the entire Hebei, there is no cavalry to match! The assassination is very difficult, so I naturally want to give you the highest price, three hundred gold! In addition to the hundred gold that your father owes me, I will give you two hundred gold. Zhen Yan said.

"You don't have to give me 200 gold, just because my father owes you 300 gold. After I assassinate him, you and I owe each other! The woman in the tree said lightly.

"Why?" Although Zhen Yan had already seen Zi'er's domineering and weirdness in the cave room, he still couldn't figure out why he didn't make money.

"I suddenly felt that my father had sold me cheaply! A mere 100 gold, so I can't hold my head up in the rivers and lakes, from today on, I'm worth 300 gold, don't ...... It's tripled! Not bad! ”

“……”

Zhen Yan couldn't understand her logic at all, the woman on the tree, or the girl, named She Zi, is only fifteen years old this year, born in a family of rivers and lakes, has good martial arts, and it is rare to be beautiful and beautiful. She Zi's father She Yan is a Jianghu person who often works for Zhen Yan, last year, She Yan lost a bet in Lecheng, and happened to meet Zhen Yan, so he borrowed 100 gold from Zhen Yan to gamble, but of course he lost it all.

She Yan's martial arts skills are not low, and he will not be able to earn back the hundred gold, but seeing that the Zhen family has a big business, he has the idea of clinging, so he sent his daughter She Zi to pay off the debt. Zhen Yan originally wanted to generously forgive She Yan's debts and win people's hearts, but when he saw the thirteen-year-old Xiao Zi'er, he couldn't walk anymore, and finally brought Zi'er home, and he was going to have a round house that night.

As a result, Zhen Yan was held to her throat with a knife by She Zi, and signed a contract, saying that she was willing to help Zhen Yan do things, redeem herself, and never have any more contact with her father, who is addicted to gambling. said that She Zi had a high level of talent and was smart, and even the angry She Yan and a few old brothers were beaten and fled by her, and they didn't dare to trouble her anymore. Zhen Yan has never met such a woman, and she can't let go of it in her heart, so she will do all the little things these days, so that she will never be able to pay less than a hundred gold.

However, to assassinate Lu Chen, among the people Zhen Yan knew, there was no second choice except She Zi.

"Are you really willing to assassinate Lu Chen?"

"Hmm!"

"Didn't you say he's a good guy?"

"Good people can die."

"Uh...... He has thousands of soldiers and horses to protect, and he is also an amazing martial artist, which ......"

"Then you can add another two hundred gold? You don't really have to give it anyway. ”

"This ...... Money is not an issue. ”

"That's five hundred gold, wow! Zi'er's worth is really not low! Wait, I'll bring you his head, or he'll send my head back to the village. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Kill him, and I'll bring you his head. I will leave a letter on my body, and if I am defeated, I will ask him to return my head to the village. Let you know that I did what you commanded! Zi'er won't run away! ”

“…… Good. ”

Zhen Yan screamed for a long time before he spit out a word, and his heart was empty.

Whoosh –

A slender shadow jumped down from the tree, and disappeared in a few flashes, leaving only one sentence: "Don't worry, Zi'er and Lu Chen, one of them will die!" Five hundred gold! Not...... Good price! ”

In this world, it has always been a reckless slaughter of dogs, and the big guys talk like a fart. In order to redeem herself, She Zi promised to do things for Zhen Yan, never shirked, and even assassinated the general in the army, she accepted it, and never ran away, this is a letter.

And Yuan Shao said that if Lu Chen can take Lecheng, he will give Lu Chen a state, and after this fart is released, no one dares to mention it again, because Lu Chen really won Lecheng. Of course, Yuan Shao did not give Lu Chen a state, but led a large army to crusade and came to the city.

Yuan Shao's first sentence was very lofty, but it was also very erratic: "Lu Chen, Xiao'er, if you don't go down to the city and surrender, I will let you die without a place to be buried." ”

Lu Chen's answer was very pragmatic: "Are you hungry?" Scar Yuan, do you want to send you two pieces of dog meat? Pad it, paddle it. ”
