Just two days before Lu Su arrived in Xiakou to meet Liu Bei.

Jiangling, Cao Cao's official residence.

"Prime Minister."

Cao Cao was leaning on the couch reading a book, and when he heard someone enter the door, he sat up straight.

"Oh, it's Berning, sit down, sit down, it's been hard all the way, come on, go get some tea."

"Prime Minister, there is no need for tea, you must have something important to explain when you urgently recruit officials."

Standing in front of Cao Cao was the favored man of Boning, who was born as a cool official and served as an intelligence leader in the overlord's mansion.

Cao Cao likes to be full of favor and neatness, so he said: "Indeed, I am in such a hurry to call you over, there is indeed an important matter for you to investigate." ”

"What the prime minister said, but the demon who used demon methods to come and go freely in my army in Nagasaka Slope?"

Cao Cao smiled and stretched out his hand and nodded at the other party and said: "It's worthy of Berning, that's right, this time I called you to let you go and check this person, then Zhao Yun I have already sent someone to investigate, but the person next to him was extremely low-key before, not inconspicuous, not leaky, and couldn't find any clues, so you can only let people bring Berning here, and only you can do it." ”

Man Zhong straightened his face, hugged his fists and said: "Don't worry, the prime minister, the next official will do it." ”

Man Zhong got Cao Cao's order, didn't even drink a sip of water, and immediately led people to the scene of the incident, Changbanpo.

"This is the Nagasaka slope where the demon messes with the hearts of our army?"

Man Pet rode on his horse, looking around at the Changsaka Slope, which had only fought a big battle not long ago, although Cao Cao had already made people clean the battlefield, but the ground here seemed to still have dark red blood stains.

Man Pet led people to survey around Nagasaka Slope and walked to the former Gao Ran station.

He turned over and dismounted, stared at a place on the ground and said: "Gao Lan, one of the four court pillars in Hebei, was killed by that demon with one move, and his whole head exploded from it, and he died a miserable death, what method did he use and how did he do it?" ”

At this time, one of Man's favored subordinates said, "My lord, doesn't that demon know how to use demon magic?" Since it is a demon law, where do we start? ”

"Shut up." Man Pet drank lightly and said: "I don't believe in ghosts and gods, I only believe in what I see, if he really has the ability of gods and ghosts, how can he follow Liu Bei all the way to defeat?" I prefer to believe that this person is outstanding in a certain aspect, as long as he can find the truth of the matter, he can make the prime minister feel at ease, and he will look for me carefully, and don't let go of any clues! ”

"Yes, sir."

Man Pet leaned down and looked at the place where Gao Yan died, where the remnants of brains and blood still seemed to be visible on the ground.

As he watched, his eyes lit up, and he reached out to turn over some of the dirt on the ground and take something out of it.

"What is this?"

Man Zhong put the yellow and clear metal object in the palm of his hand, looked left and right, but couldn't think of what it was for, but he was sure that he had never seen anything like it before.

"Everyone, look around for anything similar to this one, and collect it for me."

What Man Zhong was holding in his hand was the sniper bullet fired by Zhao Yi from Gao Ran's headshot.

After giving the order, after a while, his subordinates found a lot of similar yellow metal objects all over Changban Slope, and they all wondered, I don't know what this is for, why are there so many left on the battlefield?

"My lord, this seems to be some kind of iron tool."

Man Zhong looked at the bullet casing in his hand, shook his head and said, "No, it's not that simple, who has ever seen this kind of workmanship and finesse in a blacksmith shop?" Even the master in charge of weapon building has never made such a divine object, let's go, let's go to Dangyang Bridge to have a look. ”

After a while, Man Pet led people to Dangyang Bridge, and sure enough, a large number of similar items were found around the bridge.

Although these orange-yellow metal objects are slightly different in size and style, Man Zhong can conclude that it is this kind of thing that keeps Cao Chengxiang awake at night.

He put his fingers together, held the bullet case in his palm and said: "Collect some and bring them back, and hand them over to the blacksmith to study, as long as you crack the use of the other party's strange thing, there is nothing to be afraid of, go." ”

He ordered the man to collect some of the different shapes of bullet casings, mounted his horse again, and galloped towards Gangneung, he wanted to find some professionals to study what the principle of this object was, and how this small metal shell was like no one in the middle of the army.

After the group walked away, in the woods on the side of the Yang Bridge, a figure flashed out of the shadows.

This figure is wearing a cloak and a hat, so that people can't see the face clearly, and it is like a ghost when it walks, without making a sound.

The man walked to the place where Man Pet had just stood, leaned over and picked up a bullet casing, and rubbed it in his palm for a while.

"There are uncontrollable variables in the situation in the world...... This matter must be dealt with as soon as possible. ”

The man glanced in the direction of Xia Kou, and then disappeared into the darkness again, and disappeared without a sound.

Zhao Yi didn't know that he had become the main object of investigation by the two mysterious forces at this moment.

He packed some clothes, happily followed Zhuge Liang, and took a boat with Lu Su to Jiangdong.

"Hehehe~~ It's really a hero out of a teenager~! I didn't expect Hongfei to be able to do immortal arts, but I don't know if I am lucky enough to be able to watch it? ”

On the deck of the ship, Lu Su heard about Zhao Yi's feat at Changbanpo and praised it, but when he heard what he said in a clear tone, he definitely didn't believe it in his heart.

Zhao Yi doesn't care, believe it or not, the corner of his mouth bit a cigar, and he spit out a puff of smoke towards Lu Su, choking the latter and coughing again and again.

"I'm sorry Mr. Zijing, my immortal method will see blood and light when it comes out, and it can't end without a hundred and ten lives, so it's better not to see it."

"Ahem, cough, cough~"

Lu Su finally couldn't hold back his cough and said, "Hongfei, what is this?" Why is it so choking? But you can swallow the smoke into your belly? ”

Lu Su didn't believe in any immortal method to retreat Cao Jun at all, he only exaggerated, but shifted his attention to the cigar in Zhao Yi's mouth.

"This is tobacco, which can play a role in calming the nerves and relieving boredom, but it's just a little personal hobby of the kid, by the way, Mr. Zijing, I heard that Jiangdong people are outstanding and there are many beautiful girls, but there are people who are similar to my age? Introducing~"

Lu Su smiled and answered: "Hongfei is not as weak as the crown and has stunts, I don't have to worry about marriage, I Jiangdong is indeed outstanding, and there are many beautiful girls, but whether you can get their favor depends on Hongfei's ability~"

Zhuge Liang was full of smiles on his face, waved a few feather fans and said: "Hongfei, I see that the two daughters of the lord are quite interested in you, but you still want to go to Jiangdong to find the girl, aren't you afraid of hurting the hearts of the two young ladies?" ”

"The military advisor's words are wrong, a good man is ambitious in all directions, I, Zhao Hongfei, have not yet made a contribution, and the children's private feelings must be put aside first, not to mention that it is the daughter of the lord, how can I be a small soldier? Even if I have an idea, I will wait until I become a general. ”

"Hehe~ Hongfei's heart is not small, so he wants to be a general?"

"Of course, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier~"

Zhao Yi was blowing water at Zhuge Liang and Lu Su there, but suddenly a smile appeared on his face, frowning and looking at the river vigilantly.

"Strategist, Mr. Zijing, you go back to the cabin first."

Seeing that Zhao Yi's face suddenly became solemn, and he flipped his wrist, took out a tubular metal object out of nowhere, and put his eyes on it, Zhuge Liang suddenly felt bad.

"This ...... What's going on? ”

Lu Su didn't know what was going on, Zhuge Liang said softly: "Zijing, follow me into the ship, and this place will be handed over to Hongfei." ”

Zhao Yi took out a 98K, looked at the river with the scope, and saw a figure wrapped in a cloak and a hat on his head, stepping on a thick branch, quickly driving in their direction.

The man didn't use oars or boats, but he was extremely fast, and more importantly, Zhao Yi felt a murderous aura on him, a murderous aura that was not disguised at all.

"What the hell is this? Could it be that he is coming for the Sun-Liu Alliance? Cao Cao's people? I didn't expect that there were such strange people in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. ”

Zhao Yi was slightly surprised, and quickly figured out the key, there is no shortage of strange people in every era, but this kind of person does not appear in the historical records, but no matter who the other party is, he can be sure that the person who comes is not good.

"I'm sorry friend, whether you come to Zhuge Liang or Lu Su, I can't let you get your wish, this appearance is good, but it's a pity that you met me."

Zhao Yi pulled the bolt of the gun, aimed at the strange man who was galloping on the river with his feet on the trunk of the tree, and decisively pulled the trigger.

"Huh?"

The man's heart trembled for no reason as the muzzle of the gun was locked, and when he heard a loud noise coming from the river, he wanted to move, but it was too late.
