To the north of Wuji County, Guozhuang Town.

A caravan marched and slowly headed south. There were about a hundred people in this caravan, all of which were wearing strong suits, strong and powerful. The two young men in the lead, one holding a long sword and the other holding a big gun. They were riding horses in front with a strong smile on their faces.

The person holding the knife was named Xiahou Dun, whose courtesy name was Yuanrang, and was from Qiao, Pei State (now Bozhou, Anhui). He was known for his bravery. Xiahou Dun was a disciple and learned skills when he was 14 years old. It happened that someone insulted his teacher. When Xiahou Dun learned about it, he held a knife and killed people, so he became famous in the village for his courage.

The man holding the gun was named Xiahou Yuan, whose courtesy name was Miaocai, and was the clan brother of Xiahou Dun. Xiahou Yuan's wife was Cao **'s sister, and the two had a close relationship. Before Cao Cao became an official, he had an accident in Pei County, and Xiahou Yuan took it on his behalf without hesitation. Later, Cao Cao tried to rescue him, which saved Xiahou Yuan from disaster.

Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan led a caravan from Yanzhou, heading north, passing through Jizhou and Youzhou, and finally out of the border, selling silk, tea, jewelry, etc. from the border, making profits from it.

The two of them walked away and made a lot of money, and had returned from the north.

Xiahou Dun held the long sword with a relaxed expression, "Miaocai, we went to the north and met a person who didn't understand the market. He made a lot of money and made a lot of money. This time he went back, he could rest for half a year."

Xiahou Yuan shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Brother, Meng De wrote back and said that the situation in Luoyang is not good, so let us prepare early. Meng De was an official in Luoyang and was at the foot of the emperor. He knew a lot of news. When he said this in his letter, something important must have happened. After we return to Pei County, we will recruit people as soon as possible to prepare for Meng De."

Xiahou Dun frowned, with a confused look on his face, and shook his head and said, "I can't guess Meng De's thoughts. Isn't it good to be in Luoyang? I just let our brothers prepare for it, and it seems like something big is going to happen."

Xiahou Yuan laughed and said, "If my brother could understand, he would not be willing to help Meng De."

"That's the same. That kid has been smart since he was a child, so we can't compare to it."

Xiahou Dun raised his hand and shouted, "Send the order to make everyone speed up the journey. We can rest one day earlier when we return to Pei County."

"yes!"

The guards who sent the message ran to send the message, and the group accelerated again.

Compared to when they went north, it was much easier to go south. Because when they went north, they were escorting a large amount of goods, they not only wanted to prevent the goods from being damaged during transportation, but also protected the goods from being robbed. Now that the caravans are heading south, the goods have become money, and they almost only carry dry food and travel lightly, making it easy to rush.

"Report!"

A whistle detective galloped on his horse and soon approached Xiahou Dun.

In an instant, Xiahou Dun's expression became serious.

"What happened ahead?" Xiahou Dun asked.

As soon as he saw this, Xiahou Dun's heart was raised and he responded carefully.

The detective stopped and reported: "Master, I just found out the news. There is a team in the north of Wuji County, with about 400 soldiers escorting 600 war horses to Xinshi County, about one day away."

Xiahou Dun's eyes lit up and he asked, "What do you mean?"

The whistle detective smiled and said, "The master has guessed it long ago, but he still has to test it. The master sells silk, tea and other things to make money and returns to Pei County, and he has to find a special merchant to buy horse weapons. Now he encountered hundreds of war horses on the way back. Why do he do one vote? Six hundred war horses are not a small number. Even if we cannot take them all for ourselves, we can grab dozens or more than a hundred war horses, which will be of great help to us."

The sentry detective was Xiahou Dun's confidant and was highly valued.

Xiahou Dun looked serious, a hint of praise flashed in his eyes, he looked at Xiahou Yuan next to him, and said, "Miaocai, what do you think about the war horses?"

Xiahou Yuan said: "The opportunity given by God cannot be missed."

Xiahou Dun no longer hesitated, swung his sword in his hand, and ordered: "Go and inquire about the situation, find out their route, and prepare to ambush this group of people. Six hundred war horses are the number we have never owned. Once all of them are taken, then we will have a huge force in our hands."

The provocateur immediately retreated and continued to inquire about the situation.

Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan looked at each other and continued on their way with their soldiers.

...

Ye County, the residence of the county magistrate.

In the hall, Ju Su, Xun Chen, Tian Feng, Xin Ping and Xin Pi gathered together.

Five people were pushing and chatting, it was so lively.

After three rounds of food and wine, Ju Su's face had a blush. He smiled and said, "Everyone, the news from Wuji County has been sent back. On the day when Wang Lei arrived in Wuji County, he encountered a black bandit attack. Wang Lei was not a timid person. He asked the Zhen family for 300 guards and took people to the city gate to meet the enemy. He captured the black bandit Yu Du, defeated the black bandit Zhang Yan, and scared away thousands of black bandits. Do you think, is it powerful?"

Xinpi laughed and praised: "Wang Lei's martial arts are beyond doubt, but I find it incredible about this matter and have doubts in my heart. The Black Mountain bandits can obviously attack Wuji County, so why did they retreat?"

Ju Su shook his head and said, "I don't know either, maybe this is luck."

Tian Feng stroked his short beard under his jaw and said, "Three points of luck and seven points of strength. Luck is also a kind of strength."

Xun Chen changed his subject and asked, "My brother, the Duke and Brother, the Minister of State Mu appointed Wang Lei as the magistrate of Wuji County to kill people with a knife to prevent Wang Lei from leaking the news. However, after Wang Lei arrived in Wuji County, he defeated the bandits of the Black Mountains, conquered the gentry of Wuji County, and appeased the people's hearts, and became prosperous and took on the responsibilities of the magistrate. The Minister of State Mu's plan failed, what did he plan?"

Ju Su chuckled twice and replied: "I have convinced Lord Zhou Mu to stop paying attention to Wang Lei."

"Oh, how do you convince me?" Tian Feng asked.

Ju Su smiled and said, "I told the Lord of the State Council that Wang Lei is already the magistrate of Wuji County and is an official under the Lord of the State Council. With this identity, Wang Lei will definitely be in the same mind as the Lord of the State Council and will not disclose the secrets, so Lord of the State Council will no longer pursue the matter."

Xin Ping had a smile on his face, "The county magistrate is so eloquent. He can kill people with one word, and save people with one word."

With a word, Ju Su had to smile embarrassedly.

This is a small suggestion from Ju Su that Wang Lei must be killed; now Ju Su's words save Wang Lei from danger and no longer suspicion from Han Fu.

Xinpi said: "I have been observing Wang Lei's actions. This person is not simple. I'm afraid he will be a character in the future."

Xun Chen chuckled twice and said casually: "Wang Lei is indeed a good person, but his road is still long and it remains to be seen. Some people are lucky and have strength, but they don't have long life, so there is no way. If you have good luck, you can live long, and have enough abilities, you are the best. Wang Lei has just started and is a bit far away from the future."

Tian Feng changed his tone and said, "What do you think about Luoyang's affairs?"

Ju Su's expression became serious in an instant, and even lowered his voice and said, "The general was killed by the eunuch, and Luoyang was in turmoil, and Dong Zhuo from Xiliang entered Beijing, things were even more complicated. I can't understand the current situation."

Xun Chen nodded and said, "I also have this feeling, and it is hard to see through it. A few days ago, I received a letter sent back by Xun Yu, saying that everyone in Luoyang is in danger and the situation is very complicated."
