Sun Luban's increasingly chaotic breathing and gradually heavy steps announced her excitement at the moment.

She did not go to Anlu City, but appeared in Xiakou, so that she and her sister Sun Luyu could better hide their whereabouts.

At this moment, the three innocent soldiers in front of her stood in front of her, kneeling on one knee, they were all wounded, and the "faintly visible" bloody footprints left during the salute made Sun Luban feel the danger of this assassination!

Indeed, assassinating Guan Lin, she thought that it was always possible!

The worst possibility is nothing more than the annihilation of the soldiers without difficulty, and Sun Luban never paid attention to these.

Dead is dead.

Isn't the belonging of a soldier who is not in difficulty "death"?

Sun Luban is a person who "only needs the result" and "regardless of the process", but even she did not expect that this assassination would be "successful".

In exchange for the successful assassination of Guan Lin, Sun Luban, who knew the whole process from the mouth of the Wuyi soldiers, became more and more excited.

- "This Chen Zheng is such an all-or-nothing gamble!"

"Giggle..."

At this moment, Sun Luban "giggled" and muttered in a low voice, "What kind of bullshit Guan Jia Shilang, it's just like that!" ”

Diametrically opposed to Sun Luban's personality is her sister Sun Luyu.

This time, Sun Luban privately mobilized the soldiers without difficulty and went north to Jiangxia, Sun Luyu couldn't persuade his sister, so he could only come with her.

These days, Sun Luyu's persuasion to his sister has not been a hundred times, but eighty times.

However, it's like... With Sun Luban's temperament, how could he listen to his sister?

"More than 20 soldiers without difficulty... Is that how he died? Sun Luyu pursed his lips, and his tone suddenly became excited, "Sister, you are in trouble, they were brought out by my sister, but... Can... Now, most of them can't go back! ”

With Sun Luyu's words, Sun Luban's eyes condensed and he glared at her coldly.

She first ordered the three remaining soldiers to step back and tell her father Sun Quan about it.

Then he said solemnly: "What trouble? In exchange for Guan Lin's life with the death of more than 20 soldiers without difficulty, I am clearly a meritorious service and a great meritorious service! ”

Speaking of this, "Giggle" Sun Luban's back molars itched with hatred, and she gritted her teeth: "Since this Guan Lin was born, how much has Dongwu suffered, and how much has Daddy suffered?" From my father to the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, I don't know how much I want him to die..."

Sun Luban has not mentioned her refusal to marry Guan Lin.

Although the two sides did not put this matter on the surface, but... The rumors are boiling, which is enough to make her Sun Luban lose face!

"But... Sun-Liu Alliance! Sun Luyu gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "As soon as he dies, then the alliance will not exist, sister, you are in trouble, let's go back to Soochow quickly, let Daddy..."

Sun Luyu still wants to persuade Sun Luban to go back.

It's just that the more she persuaded like this, the more it aroused Sun Luban's rebellion from the bottom of his heart.

"Go back? Guan Lin is dead, and now it's Jiangxia, no... It was when the whole Jingzhou was in turmoil, not to mention that my aunt hadn't been found yet, and Liu Bei's son-in-law hadn't been found either. At this time, what is most needed is intelligence, and I am in this whirlpool, how can I go back? ”

Speaking of this, Sun Luban's tone became cold, "If you want to go back, you will go back, don't say this in my ear... Look at you, as soon as you go out, you retreat, buzz, buzz, and there is no day of silence in your ears. ”

In the face of Sun Luban's unceremonious words, Sun Luyu was still persuading, "Sister, stop being obsessed... Shall we go back? Is it good, is it good? ”

"Nope! Can! Yes! Sun Luban paused word by word, and as she blurted out these three words, her eyes blinked, and she said lightly, "It's hard to come out, but can't you poke a big hole in the sky of Jingzhou?" ”

Speaking of this, Sun Luban seemed to suddenly think of something, "I heard that this Xiakou Shilihua Street is very prosperous, I am in a good mood today, I want to dress up as a man to take a look, will you go?" People say... This Jiangxia woman Jiangdong can be moistened? ”

Sun Luban wants to play a play!

A few breaths ago, I was still rejoicing in Guan Lin's death.

At the next moment, I became interested in Jiangxia's "flower girl", of course... Sun Luban has her ideas.

In many cases, these "flower buildings" and "red pavilions" are the cradle of intelligence gathering!

Say a thousand, say ten thousand, no matter what... Sun Luban is ecstatic today!

- "Giggles, that's just that!"

- "But that's it!"

…

…

In Jiangxia, in Anlu City, there was a sonorous bell ringing, and the person who struck the bell wiped away the tears on his face with his sleeve while hitting it.

Then, the bells rang throughout the city.

"Knock, knock—"

"Knock-knock-"

The mighty bell attracted the bell of the whole city, as if it was like shaking the sky and stepping through the sky!

The peasants who were originally cultivating in the fields, when they heard the continuous ringing of the bell, turned around one by one, faced the direction of An Lu City, and knelt on the ground to buckle their heads!

The whole city inside and outside the city couldn't hide their crying.

Countless tears followed and frosted and froze on their cheeks!

Large snowflakes began to fall...

Liao Hua, Shiwu, Ling Tong, Lu Lu, Huang Zhong, Xiahou Juan, Huang Yueying, they clasped their hands one by one, looking extremely sad.

Zhang Xingcai's eyes were glazed, her teeth bit her lip hard, and the tears falling from her eyes quickly condensed into ice crystals, which hung on her haggard face.

Her hand firmly grasped her mother Xiahou Juan's hand, and Xiahou Juan could feel her daughter's hand trembling constantly!

Trembling...

Zhang Xingcai couldn't contain her emotions anymore, she threw herself in front of Guan Lin's coffin, and desperately pushed away the glass coffin, but... The heavy glass sarcophagus seems to have the power of a thousand catties, and no matter how powerful she is, she can't shake it at all!

Finally, Zhang Xingcai still burst into tears, she knelt in front of the sarcophagus, she could clearly see Guan Lin's face, but God... But it was like playing a joke on him, using this glass to cut off the distance between her and Guan Lin, even if she wanted to touch him in the end, it became a luxury!

"Cloud Banner... You, you're a liar! ”

"You said that when I go back to Shu and do what you explained, you will go to propose to your father, but now, woo... You're a liar, a liar—"

Zhang Xingcai's words were filled with endless anger, but this situation was more like hysteria.

Xiahou Juan looked at her daughter distressedly, "People can't be resurrected after death... StarCons... Starfire..."

Xiahou Juan knew that it was actually inappropriate for her to say these words, but as a mother, she always had to say something.

Huang Zhong was not in a good mood, he deliberately turned his head to the side, without saying a word, he looked at Guan Lin's coffin, and inexplicably thought of the "twenty steps" that separated him from his son forever.

Guan Lin, this kid, helped him complete the "twenty steps" and made up for the regret of the twenty steps, but... This kid has not finished his own path!

- "Second General, the pain of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man... You didn't escape!'

The more he thought about it, the more gloomy Huang Zhong's mood became, he didn't want to speak, he was strong on the surface, as if he had fallen into endless grief in his heart.

Huang Yueying looked at the whole place, she pursed her lips and said: "If one day, we can complete the cause of rejuvenating the Han Dynasty, we will definitely leave this stroke of Yunqi in the history books, a strong stroke!" ”

There were tears in her voice.

Then.

Someone outside the door shouted: "Lu Su, the Governor of Eastern Wu, and Lu Meng, the Deputy Governor of Eastern Wu, came to offer condolences——"

With this sound, the sound of "stampeding" footsteps has sounded from outside the door.

Lu Su and Lu Meng walked in quickly.

Lu Su looked at the person in the "glass coffin" in disbelief, because the chest was scratched by the halberd, even if it was 'decorated', it could not hide the red of the wound.

Enough - a one-hit killing red!

And the people in this coffin gradually appeared in Lu Su's eyes, whether it was from the cheeks or figure, except for Guan Lin? Who else could there be?

"How so?"

Lu Su asked in surprise.

But this voice seemed to suddenly activate a certain state of Zhang Xingcai, one moment she was still kneeling on the ground to support the coffin and crying bitterly, and the next moment she suddenly pulled out the "silver hairpin" in her hair, and stabbed Lu Su beside her without warning!

It all happened so fast!

Also in front of the coffin, Lu Su and Zhang Xingcai were too close, and Lu Meng would not have thought that there would be someone who would be unfavorable to the metropolitan governor Lu Su during the condolences!

The sharp "silver hairpin" stabbed into Lu Su's chest fiercely, but it was only a silver hairpin, not deep enough, Zhang Xingcai was in a hurry, and he deviated a little from the vital point.

But even so, Lu Su, who had just recovered from a serious illness, still made a "poof" sound and spurted out a mouthful of blood!

The blood squirted out of the glass coffin.

The coffin under the scarlet blood, "Guan Lin" was lying in it peacefully as always, but Lu Meng exploded, he quickly helped Lu Su up and protected Lu Su behind him, "What are you going to do?" Did you openly assassinate my Metropolitan Governor of Eastern Wu? ”

As he spoke, Lu Meng had already snatched a candlestick and raised it horizontally, like a spear, and he had already made the final plan, that is, to take Lu Su out and kill him-

On the other hand, Lu Su, looking at the tension between the two sides, he covered his wounds, "cough cough..." coughed lightly, and said: "I heard that Yunqi was unfortunately assassinated early in the morning, and General Lu and I came to pay condolences to Yunqi?" But why did the girl do this to me? Is there some misunderstanding in this? ”

"Misunderstanding?" Zhang Xingcai pointed at Lu Su with a silver hairpin, "When the assassin carried out the assassination, I was in the mansion of Yunqi, I saw with my own eyes that the assassin launched an attack from the south wall, and when he retreated, he also jumped into the lake outside the south wall, hum..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Xingcai snorted coldly, in her opinion, she is the only one who is closest to the truth!

She said meticulously: "Can there be such a water-based? Who else is there besides the Jiangdong Water Army? This line of thorns is clearly planned by your Soochow, you... It's not a pity for you to die, but you return my cloud flag, you return my cloud flag-"

As he spoke, Zhang Xingcai held the "silver hairpin" in his hand, and was about to attack Lu Su again.

But as soon as it comes... This time, Lu Meng was on guard and stopped in front of Lu Su.

Secondly... Huang Yueying and Xiahou Juan will definitely not let Zhang Xingcai "mess around"!

Even if she was true, just because of her watery nature, it was not possible to conclude that the assassin was from Koto.

"Sun Liu Alliance, fight against Cao Cao together..."Lu Su endured the pain in his chest, and said: "Yunqi has helped Dongwu many times, even Hefei City is under the strategy of Yunqi, Dongwu has just fallen, although I Lu Su and Yunqi are more than 20 years apart, but he and I are friends who have forgotten the year... To put it mildly, we are sympathetic to each other, not to mention... His safety is at stake for the friendship of the Alliance, so... Shall I stab him? ”

Zhang Xingcai retorted directly, "You can't stab... Can you make sure that no one in Eastern Wu can pierce the cloud flag? ”

This...

Speaking of which, Lu Su also has a "three-inch tongue", proficient in sophistry and speech...

But this time, Zhang Xingcai's words seemed to hit him seven inches, making him unable to refute.

However, from the bottom of his heart, Lu Su didn't want to believe that assassinating Guan Lin was Jiangdong's action!

But he can't guarantee that... This matter has nothing to do with Koto.

Whether it is Wu Hou or Jiangdong Wenwu, many of them hate this Guan Jia Shilang to the core-

"Stop talking? Nothing to say? Really? "Zhang Xingcai is as aggressive as ever..."It's you, you are the murderer who killed Yunqi... I... I kill..."

Zhang Xingcai saw that he was about to rush over again, but was hugged by Xiahou Juan.

Huang Yueying looked at the situation here, and she suddenly realized that the "Sun-Liu Alliance" that her husband had worked so hard to maintain was now in jeopardy, and it was in danger of overturning at any time.

Huang Yueying hurriedly said: "Xingcai, the assassination of Yunqi is still under investigation——"

"Investigation?" Zhang Xingcai pursed her lips, "What about the investigation?" Can you give me back the banner? Give it back to me? ”

This...

Zhang Xingcai's words moved everyone here.

"Girl..."Lu Su sighed helplessly, "This matter, Dongwu will give Jingzhou an explanation... Who is related to Yunqi's death, Soochow will also investigate, and spare no effort to investigate, because we are allies! ”

After saying this, Lu Su reluctantly stood up and bowed his hand towards Huang Zhong, Huang Yueying, Xiahou Juan and others, "Lu Su said goodbye-"

As he spoke, Lu Su walked quickly to the door under the escort of Lu Meng.

Zhang Xingcai didn't want to let her go, so she hurriedly took a step, but was grabbed by Huang Yueying's arm.

Huang Yueying looked at the backs of Lu Meng and Lu Su slowly leaving, and looked at the bloodstains on the ground, "Xingcai... If... If the alliance breaks down, then all the hard work of Cloud Banner will be in vain—"

"Ahh

Zhang Xingcai couldn't help but roar, looking up to the sky and roaring.

This deafening voice vented the resentment in her heart! .

"Don't cry, don't cry..."Huang Yueying patted Zhang Xingcai's back while comforting..."One day, this hatred... It will be reported, it will be reported-"

With Huang Yueying's words.

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

The bell continued, and under the leadership of Liao Hua, everyone shouted in unison.

"The fourth son of the Guan family, through the ages—"

…

…

In Xu Ducheng, Cao Cao was holding a bamboo slip in his hand, carefully reading the words on the bamboo slip.

Huang Haocheng buried his head very low in fear, this was the first time he had seen Cao Cao, the overlord of the north and the ruler of the Central Plains, even if he was old, the power exuded from his body was still enough to make Huang Hao tremble.

"This is Zhu Ling's father and son? Handwritten? ”

Finally, after sweeping every word on the bamboo slip, Cao Cao raised his eyes and stared at Huang Hao.

"Yes, yes..."

Even if he replied, Huang Hao was as sincere and fearful as ever, "I would have been killed by that Guan Yu, but fortunately, General Zhu Ling's father and son rescued me, that's why... This is the only way to bring bamboo slips to meet the king! ”

Not...

Cao Cao paused for a moment, and then seemed to be tentative, "A bunch of nonsense, such a clumsy strategy to deceive?" How can you be fooled? Someone, take this Huang Hao down and behead him—"

"Whew-"

With Cao Cao's order, Xu Chu picked up Huang Hao like an eagle catching a chicken.

Huang Hao panicked now, is this just out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's den?

We... Why, why is it so miserable?

"The king spares his life, the king spares his life... The little one, the little one just brought this letter to the king according to the instructions of General Zhu Ling's father and son... Small... The little one doesn't know anything, he doesn't know anything! ”

With this sentence, Cao Cao glanced at Xu Chu, and Xu Chu put Huang Hao back on the ground again, accompanied by a sentence, "The king will say whatever he asks you, if there is half a lie, you will try if Xu Chu's wrist can crush your little body!" ”

Yes...

Huang Hao's heart is like 10,000 "grass and mud horses" galloping by... He was also drunk, and he found out... In this world, no one is easy to mess with except him.

Cao Cao began to ask, "If Zhu Ling's father and son really surrender?" So why didn't they come? But he sent you a letterhead to send you to surrender? ”

Huang Hao had no other merits, so he was excited, his eyes were certain, and he hurriedly replied: "General Zhu said... At the beginning, he was calculated by Guan Lin, so that the king mistakenly thought that he had voted for Jingzhou, so the ancestral hall was burned and fell into disrepute... What if he can't reverse the infamy? So how can you come back? Even if he returns, how can he not be suspicious of the civil and military forces of the Great Wei Manchu Dynasty? ”

Stop... Huang Hao's words are reasonable.

even made Cao Cao's eyes focus on the bamboo slip again, "This? Is this the way for Zhu Ling's father and son to reverse their infamy? He said that Guan Yu was digging a waterway to lead the Han River into a reservoir? Want to lead the Han water to pour into Fancheng? Is this serious? ”

"Small... I don't know! Huang Hao hurriedly said: "The little one is just a crippled person, a stinky messenger, how can you know this..."

With Huang Hao's words, Cao Cao once again swept through the letterhead written by Zhu Ling.

In fact, from the bottom of his heart, Cao Cao was suspicious.

Fake, he only felt that Zhu Ling's father and son's sincere letterhead was very fake, and the performance was extremely clumsy.

However, it is mentioned in this letterhead that Guan Yu intends to divert water to pour into Fancheng, this piece of information is very important, and it is not difficult to check-

If it's true, then...

Cao Cao's tiger eyes narrowed, already thinking carefully.

That's when it happened.

Outside the door, a tiger army entered and whispered a few words in Xu Chu's ear.

Xu Chu hurriedly walked into Cao Cao and reported the words of the Tiger Benjun to Cao Cao.

And as these words reached Cao Cao's ears, his tiger eyes opened, "Say-"

It seemed to notice that Huang Hao was still there, "Hahahaha..." Cao Cao laughed, and then looked at Huang Hao, "It's true that you are a crippled person, but Gu was also subject to the identity of the giant eunuch family in his early years, you are from Bashu, work hard, Gu will not treat you badly-"

"It's... Yes..."

"Stand down—"

With Cao Cao's words, Xu Chu took Huang Hao out...

Immediately afterwards, Li Dian walked in with a personable and young son.

Seeing Cao Cao, Li Dian knelt down with a "snap", "I didn't expect that I would be able to see the king again in this life..."

"General Lee suffered." Cao Cao personally helped Li Dian up.

Then he looked at the man who had been standing for a long time.

Li Dian introduced: "King, this is Yan Ji, the envoy of Eastern Wu——"

As soon as Li Dian's voice fell, Yan Jian solemnly bowed his hand, "Meet King Wei!" ”

Cao Cao seemed to suddenly think of something, and grabbed Yan Yan's hand, "Could it be Mr. Yan who wrote the "Tide Theory"..."

"No, it's down!"

"Hahaha... I have heard for a long time that Mr. Yan is extremely proficient in water flow and water attack, and I never thought that I could ask Mr. Yan for advice here today! ”

Cao Cao showed his polite and virtuous side.

This made Yan Jian flattered for a while, and shouted: "Don't dare, don't dare-"

After the greetings, Yan Jian didn't hide it, he came with Sun Quan's hope, with a clear purpose, and simply expressed his chest, "The king... A certain came from a long distance just to tell King Wei one thing! ”

"What?"

"Now that Guan Yu is digging a dike, the purpose of which is to divert Han water to inflow Fancheng, Pinglu City, and Yuncheng during the rising water period in July and August——"

Not...

Yan Gan's words shocked Cao Cao, how could he have thought that a Huang Hao, a Yan Gan... Two pieces of such similar information were sent from the front and back feet!

Of course, if it was the information of Huang Hao and Zhu Ling's father and son, Cao Cao was somewhat skeptical.

It needs to be corroborated.

But... Yan Zhen, this is the person who compiled the "Treatise on Tides", and then consider the "ambiguous" relationship between Wei and Wu today!

His words are very convincing!

"Is it another diversion of water?"

Cao Cao subconsciously sighed softly.

Yan Jian was curious, "Could it be that the king still heard from other places that Guan Yu was diverting water to irrigate?" ”

"Nope!" Cao Cao waved his hand quite arrogantly, and at this moment, he was no longer stuck to the source of this information.

He showed a resolute side, "Mr. Yan can have a way to make that Han water pour into Xiangyang instead of Fancheng?" ”

This...

Undoubtedly, Cao Cao's proposal was an extremely difficult one!

Considering that Fancheng is separated from Xiangyang by a water, the water of the Han River only flows into the south bank, which requires extremely careful design when "diverting water"!

If you take it into account again, Guan Yu dug a reservoir on the south bank, undoubtedly... This one is more difficult.

Yan Jian was not a conceited person, he muttered softly, "If you change the direction of the water, you need a field trip—"

Inexplicably, Yan Ji's words made Cao Cao happy.

"Hahaha." He burst out laughing, "Heaven has sent Mr. to help me retake Xiangyang—"

Just when Cao Cao's sentence was just chanted.

"Newspaper—"

Xu Chu hurriedly ran from outside the door, he had always been steady and sturdy, but this time he stumbled a little, and the whole person looked very flustered.

This is the first time Xu Chu has appeared in front of Cao Cao in this appearance.

"What's wrong? Zhongkang? ”

Cao Cao took the initiative to ask.

Xu Chu said truthfully: "I just got the news, that Guan Jia Shiro... That Seki Shiro, he's dead, he's been assassinated by assassins! ”

…
