Chapter 45: Attacked
Luo Yongcai, one of the generals of Kyushu, controlled the Nine Guards in Xuzhou, with 50,000 soldiers per guard, a total of 450,000 troops.
At the same time, he is also Luo Yongning's younger brother, a family of two Kyushu generals, in the eyes of outsiders, the Luo family's vein is very remarkable!
People will be worried that it is too dangerous for one family and two great generals to have 900,000 troops, and will it affect the imperial power?
The answer is no.
Few people know that there are only two people in the Luo family, that is, Luo Yongning and Luo Yongcai, two brothers.
When it comes to the Luo brothers, some people in the top circles may understand that they are two orphans adopted by Emperor Wei back then, and when they were adopted, Emperor Wei was only twelve years old, and he regarded them more as younger brothers.
With this nurturing kindness, it is impossible for the Luo brothers to pose a threat to Emperor Wei.
Luo Yongcai got the news that Liu Chu and his party would arrive in Xuzhou in the evening, and wanted to greet them in person, after all, even if the twenty "seeds of hope" were removed, just one old dean of the Lulu Academy was worthy of his personal greeting.
However, Pei Jianyuan, the pastor of Xuzhou Prefecture, sent someone to invite Luo Yongcai to the mansion to discuss matters. The state pastor is a member of the second grade, and he has suppressed Luo Yongcai by two levels in his official position, and in the name of deliberations, Luo Yongcai can't refuse, so he can only send his cronies to meet Liu Chu and them instead of himself.
Sun Zhenghao was one of Luo Yongcai's personal soldiers, so he was ordered to receive Liu Chu and others.
The Kyushu General's pro-soldier team is a very special existence, and it is considered a positive sixth rank in terms of official position, but its influence is not inferior to that of the General of the Fifth Rank, because he can directly talk to the Kyushu General of the third grade.
Generally speaking, the Kyushu general has 300 to 500 soldiers under his command to form a pro-soldier battalion, and 6 to 10 pro-soldiers are leading 50 pro-soldiers, and the pro-soldier team is under the command of the pro-soldiers.
Liu Chu and the others were arranged by Sun Zhenghao in a special reception compound, they only stayed for one night, and when the horses had eaten enough forage, they equipped the necessary materials and left.
Sun Zhenghao asked Liu Chu to list the materials they needed, and he went to prepare, and at the same time informed Liu Chu and them before leaving that General Luo Yongcai would see them off tomorrow morning.
After the twenty-two people had listed their needs, they handed them over to the soldiers guarding them, and then they went back to their rooms to rest, and they were ready to set off tomorrow.
Liu Chu was a little restless lying on the bed, he didn't fall asleep for a long time, I don't know why, he was a little uneasy in his heart, and he always felt that something would happen.
At this moment, Liu Chu's ears moved, he heard some noises, his door seemed to be being pushed open, a small head poked in from outside the door, the thief looked at Liu Chu lying on the bed, and then tiptoed in.
The corners of Liu Chu's mouth hooked, and then pretended to be asleep to see what the other party wanted to do.
Liu Chu felt that his quilt had been lifted, and then a figure quickly burrowed into the quilt, and the quilt was covered again.
Liu Chu lifted the quilt and looked at the person hiding in the quilt, "It's so late, what are you doing?"
"Little brother, you didn't sleep!" Xiao Ning exclaimed, she couldn't help but stick out her tongue, she thought Liu Chu was asleep.
"Why don't you sleep well in your room?" asked Liu Chu as he looked at Xiao Ning who slowly came out of the bed.
"I can't sleep. Xiao Ning pouted.
Liu Chu rubbed her little head with messy hair and sighed, "You are still young, but you also have to know that men and women are not kissed, if you grow up, will you also casually get into the boys' bed?"
Liu Chu taught Xiao Ning a lesson in a soft tone, although Xiao Ning was still young, but for that knowledge, Liu Chu felt that it was necessary to educate him, so as not to be so casual in the future.
Don't ask Liu Chu how he knows that knowledge, when he was in the orphan village, Liu Chu mixed with those uncles who retired from the battlefield, and the soldiers were rough people, but it's no wonder that they, the army is so boring, and telling vulgar jokes seems to be the only way to get rid of boredom.
If Liu Chu wanted to, he could write a book on this subject......
"Oh. Xiao Ning stuck out his tongue again.
"But I really couldn't sleep, I felt uncomfortable. ”
Liu Chu was stunned, feeling that something was wrong, what Xiao Ning said was uncomfortable, and he should have felt something unusual.
Xiao Ning's strength is not inferior to Liu Chu and others, those who practice martial arts have more or less a sixth sense, Xiao Ning's sixth sense is definitely stronger than them, and she is still a woman, a woman's sixth sense......
There are times when I don't have anything to say.
"Do you think it's dangerous?" Liu Chu directly lifted the quilt, got up to get dressed, and then draped a coat over Xiao Ning's body and picked her up from the bed.
"Like, I'm a little worried. Xiao Ning nodded.
At this time, Liu Chu suddenly saw a figure at the door, the figure stayed at the door for a while, as if to determine the situation in the door, poked a hole in the door lattice with a dagger, and when he found the situation in the house, he immediately ran away.
Liu Chu immediately ran out with Xiao Ning in his arms, wanting to see who it was, he didn't leave Xiao Ning behind, for fear that something would happen to her if she stayed alone in the house.
As soon as he went out and ran into the courtyard, he found that the guards were all dead, and Liu Chu wondered why he didn't hear the sound of the fight at all.
Liu Chu was anxious, and immediately pushed open the door one by one, wanting to make sure that October and the others were safe.
Liu Chu was shocked when he saw that the door of October's room was hidden, and after putting Xiao Ning down, he was ready for battle and directly kicked open the door of the room.
"Old dean?" Liu Chu was stunned for a moment, Xi Feichen, Ye Xiaoguang, Li Baixiao and more than ten others were there, and the old dean was bent over and standing by the bedside of October, as if he was diagnosing something.
"It should be poisoned, and so are the others, I was careless!" The old dean turned to look at Liu Chu with a little self-reproach on his face.
Liu Chu secretly said that it was dangerous, but fortunately he had been awake just now, and he didn't give the villains a chance to take advantage of it, otherwise he would have been poisoned now.
"They shouldn't be able to run far, you stay here, I'll chase after it, and see if I can snatch the antidote back." The old dean gave an order, asked Liu Chu and the others to take care of the poisoned person, and then left the room.
"Didn't the old dean find out any poison?" Liu Chu's expression was extremely solemn when he saw the old dean leaving, he must have encountered a thorny problem.
With the strength and knowledge of the old dean, ordinary poison is not difficult for him, and he can come up with an antidote in minutes, and no matter how bad it is, he can use cultivation to force out the poison in the poisoned human body.
The old dean said that he was going to chase the poisoner, which meant that the poison was difficult to solve, and the old dean was not completely sure, so he had to grab the antidote from the poisoner to detoxify.
"My head hurts. But not long after the old dean left, October woke up with a painful face.
"What are you all doing here?" said October, startled when he saw so many people standing in the room.
Everyone's eyes widened, what happened, how did you wake up?
Liu Chu secretly said that it was not good, walked to the side of October, checked the body of Xia October, and found that except for some weakness, there were no symptoms of poisoning!
They weren't poisoned, but they were given a special drug, and they faked the illusion of poisoning.
Turn the tiger away from the mountain!
Liu Chu instantly figured out the purpose of the gangsters, those soldiers who fell to the ground outside the door should also be fake poisoning, but they were stunned by drugs, no wonder there was no sound of fighting.
If the gangsters kill people directly, there will definitely be fights, and when the time comes, they will alarm the old dean, and their plan will fail, these gangsters should be coming at Liu Chu and them, otherwise there is no need to use these indiscriminate means to lure the old dean away.
These people are very smart, they know how to concoct a special drug, which makes people mistakenly think that they have been poisoned in October, so they lure the old dean out to chase them, and as soon as the old dean leaves, their side is equivalent to losing the protection of the old dean, and the other party can send a few masters to come over and wipe them out, and they are not afraid of making a big noise.
"Little Niu, go and inform Team Sun and ask him to bring someone over!" Liu Chu shouted anxiously at Xi Feichen.
Xi Feichen rolled his eyes, Liu Chu often called him Niu Nose Daoren, Xi Feichen didn't like this title, so Liu Chu changed his name to Xiao Niu, so that now everyone calls him Xiao Niu, which makes him very dissatisfied.
Xi Feichen knew the seriousness of the matter, he was also a thoughtful person, figured out the trap, and immediately ran out, ready to go to Sun Zhenghao for help.
At the moment when Xi Feichen just went out, there were several screams outside the door, which made Liu Chu's face change, it should be that the soldiers who woke up were killed by the gangsters, Liu Chu didn't expect them to come back so quickly.
There must have been some of these people who had been secretly watching, and they came as soon as the old dean left.
"The others should be awake too, you go and call the others, get out of here quickly, I'll go out and drag them down. "Liu Chu doesn't know how many gangsters have come outside, and he doesn't know what their strength is, but someone must go out and drag them, otherwise they may not be able to leave.
Ye Xiaoguang, Li Baixiao and the others nodded, and were about to go out to call the others, but they saw a figure flying in from outside the house like a cannonball.
Liu Chu's eyes narrowed, he reached out to catch this person, and even took a few steps back with himself.
"Little calf!" Liu Chu looked at Xi Feichen in his arms, Xi Feichen's face was very painful, and there was a trace of bright red blood at the corner of his mouth.
Liu Chu knew that the strength of the person who came must be very strong, and he could hurt Xi Feichen like this, he was definitely a cultivator, and it was likely to be a god realm! An ordinary Qi Gathering Realm cultivator, although Xi Feichen couldn't beat him, he could also rely on the thunder in his palm, and he wouldn't necessarily be injured like this.
Three figures appeared at the door, blocking Liu Chu's way of life, Liu Chu took a deep breath, I am afraid that today is more than lucky.
These three figures brought Liu Chu a super strong sense of oppression, even if he was not a monk in the realm of transforming gods, at least he had reached the peak of the realm of gathering qi.
Such people, Liu Chu and they don't have any capital to fight, even if they are the strongest of the younger generation, they can't compete!
Ye Xiaoguang clenched the spear in his hand, as if he was facing a great enemy, and he was supported by Li Baixiao to stand in the back row, also with an ugly face.
Gan Chengyuan, Xie Xianning, Monk Zhiyi and others also had a premonition that something was wrong, and observed the situation in the room, trying to find an escape exit.
Suddenly, Liu Chu's gaze fell on the feet of these three figures, although they were dressed in black and their faces were tightly covered, but their shoes betrayed them.
"From the army?"
As soon as Liu Chu spoke, the faces of the three people on the other side hidden behind the face towels suddenly changed color, and they glanced at each other, and the killing intent in their eyes was even stronger.
