In Deng County City, Zhang He and Zhang Xiu were playing chess in the government office. Both of them were bad chess pieces. Seeing that the entire chessboard was almost full, they still didn't know who would win and who would lose. When it was Zhang Xiu's turn to make a move, Zhang Xiu was undecided.
, didn't know whether to play the upper left corner or the lower right corner, and was immersed in thought. Zhang Liao laughed: "What? You can't leave. Look, my large white chess piece has surrounded your black chess piece. It won't take long.
You’re doomed!”
Zhang Xiu glared at Zhang Liao: "I don't think so. I think my black chess should win. My black chess is a long dragon that lives together and surrounds your white chess. As long as my piece falls, you will win."
Definitely lose!"
For such a long time, with Zhang Liao in charge of Deng County and Gan Ning walking up and down the Xiang River with his navy, Jingzhou's soldiers and horses did not dare to take a step beyond the thunder. In addition to training their troops every day, Zhang Liao and Zhang Xiu also
Playing chess and bickering, life was so boring. Ever since Long Fei talked about the separation of military and political affairs, all political affairs have been handled by local officials. They neither fought wars nor sent troops. It became boring for the two generals to stay here.
"Report! General, there is a group of merchants at the gate of the city. They are carrying weapons and have been checked. They have been stopped!"
"Weapons? This is interesting!" Zhang Liao felt that he had finally done something and stood up immediately. Zhang Xiu grabbed him and said, "Wait a minute, let's finish this game before we go!"
Under Long Fei's control, the entire Wancheng, including other counties, can enter and exit freely. Business travelers use this place as a place to trade goods, and some people who have fled will also be well resettled. It can be said that Wancheng is the only place in the entire Han Dynasty.
It was an undefended place. There was nothing unusual about searching for weapons, but Zhang Liao wanted to go out for a walk.
Under the leadership of the messengers, Zhang Liao and Zhang Xiu came to the city gate. The soldiers guarding the city gate had already moved the merchants aside. The carts were loaded with large and small goods, some long, short, narrow, and wide, all wrapped up.
It was tight and tight. The weapons were found in one of the vehicles, and the camouflage was bundles of moso bamboo. Now they have been opened by the soldiers, and the weapons are placed on the ground.
Zhang Liao looked at it. These weapons were not newly made, and some of them had strange styles. Putting down the weapons, Zhang Liao turned his face and looked at the merchants: "Where did you come from?"
A fat man with big ears quickly accompanied the smiling face: "Sir, we come from the south of the Yangtze River. We really don't know how to get these weapons into the car. We are only responsible for transporting goods. As for the goods, the owner of the goods doesn't tell us, and we don't either.
I'm sorry to ask."
"Where's the owner?" Zhang Xiu glanced at the people squatting on the ground.
The fat man shook his head repeatedly: "I don't know. You said someone would take it to Wancheng. Sir, just let us go! We really don't know."
Zhang Liao glanced at Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu turned around and ordered loudly: "Search, search carefully, no weapons can be spared!"
The soldiers started to take action. There were five carts in total, and each of the goods contained weapons, ranging from throwing knives to large halberds. If they were armed, they could be used by hundreds of people. Looking at the weapons on the ground
, Zhang Liao had an ominous premonition in his heart. Judging from the weapons, they should be specially given to some people. If there are four to five hundred people hiding in Wancheng, Wancheng will be in danger.
The movement at the gate of the city alarmed many people. Everyone slowly gathered around and talked in a circle. The soldiers worked hard to control the people on the outside and prevent them from getting closer. As soon as Zhang Liao turned around, he felt as if something was stabbing him in the back.
After a moment and a swipe of his hand, it turned out to be a silver needle. The dark luster glowed with blue under the sun. Just as he was about to speak, he felt a heartbreaking pain that spread from his back to his brain. His body was not in shape.
Steady, staggered and fell to the ground.
"Wenyuan!" Zhang Xiu rushed to Zhang Liao's side and hugged Zhang Liao hurriedly. Zhang Liao took the silver needle and said, "Be careful! There is an assassin among the common people!"
Zhang Xiu was furious: "Quick! Gather the brothers and put the whole city under martial law. There are assassins entering the city!"
Rapid war drums began to sound on the towers of Deng County. Groups of soldiers, holding weapons in hand, swarmed in. Zhang Liao could no longer speak, and a large area of the wound on his back turned blue. The doctor who was called in said:
He was shocked and said: "General, it's poisonous!"
"I know it's poisonous! Deal with it quickly!" Zhang Xiu handed Zhang Liao to the doctor, with round eyes and a sword in his hand: "Catch everyone and interrogate them one by one!" The soldiers immediately took action, and the people
They fled in all directions. The whole Deng County became a mess.
After receiving the report from Zhang Xiu, Long Fei slapped Ji Ji with an angry palm, and Xiao Ji was almost shaken: "It's so abominable that he used such despicable means!"
Jia Xu hurriedly said: "General Zhang Liao is injured, and there is only Zhang Xiu left in Deng County. I am afraid that Jingzhou will take advantage of the situation, so I can send the second master to lead troops to reinforce!"
Long Fei glanced at Zhao Yun, and Zhao Yun went out without saying a word. As soon as he reached the door, Long Fei hurriedly stopped him: "Go and ask Divine Doctor Hua to go with you and see how Zhang Liao is doing?"
Xu Shu said: "It seems that Hei Bing has already taken action. Should we also stop him and completely stop Hei Bing's thoughts? Otherwise, we don't know what will happen to that general!"
Long Fei immediately ordered Chen Dao to lead a hundred personal guards to rush to Jiaxia to control the few people who had been identified. He also gave orders to Guan Hai and Mi Fang under Jiaxia to prepare and must uproot them.
Liu Bei was a little uneasy. He had an ominous premonition since the morning. At noon, he felt that something was wrong even more. According to the agreement between him and Hei Bing, Hei Bing sent 300 people to sneak into Jiaxia. They all arrived, but their weapons were delayed.
Not sent. Three hundred people is not a small number. It is impossible that so many people did not arouse the vigilance of the defenders. If they were caught and confessed, how would they explain themselves.
"Bang bang bang!" There was a knock on the door, and a strange voice shouted in a low voice: "Is your Excellency here? I have something important to report to you!"
Liu Bei thought he was a chamberlain, so he slowly opened the door, and it turned out to be a woman. The woman's sharp mouth and monkey cheeks were so ugly that she was covered with white gauze, otherwise she would have scared people to death. Liu Bei's door had just opened.
The man squeezed in and pulled off the veil from his face.
Liu Bei was about to shout, but he saw that the man was Sun Qian. His eyes widened: "Sir, what are you...?"
"Lord, follow me quickly! Long Fei has already taken action, and it will be too late!" Sun Qian was not as surprised as Liu Bei.
"Sir, what do you mean? Tomorrow I will fight against the Han traitors with Your Majesty. Wouldn't I be disgracing Your Majesty by leaving now?"
"Lord!" Sun Qian stamped his feet anxiously: "Long Fei has known about your plan for a long time. Now Ma Ridan and Zhao Qi have been controlled by others. Mi Fang mobilized troops to surround the palace. The army will arrive soon. It's too late.
I can’t leave!”
"Ah!" Liu Bei was shocked: "How did sir know this?"
"Let's talk about these things later. My lord, it's better to come with me quickly!" Sun Qian couldn't help but said, took Liu Bei's arm and walked out.
Since Liu Bei went to Jixia, Zhang Fei and Sun Qian were left in Wancheng. Zhang Fei was not restrained and he just drank every day, but Sun Qian was not idle and used Hei Bing's manpower in Wancheng to find out about Long Fei.
Although Wancheng remains calm on the surface, there are undercurrents surging privately. Chen Dao has already sent people to capture many members of Black Ice, and then execute them on the spot.
Sun Qian knew these things, and he had already smelled some problems. He also heard that Liu Bei was very close to the Emperor Liu Xie and several senior ministers under Jiaxia, and he immediately realized that something was wrong. In order to enter Jiaxia City, He tried his best to think of a way. In the end, he had no choice but to mix in with the people entering the palace, and then sneaked into the palace. In fact, these people were all people from the black ice. Liu Xie accepted Liu Bei's suggestion and used his honor guard to sneak into the palace. Wancheng's Black Ice members were transported into the palace in batches for emergencies, and they finally came in use today.
Sun Qian blew a whistle, and the black shadows in the corners of the palace immediately gathered around Sun Qian. Sun Qian took out a dragon-shaped jade pendant from his arms and raised it in the air: "Things have changed, the mission has been cancelled, everyone protects Master Liu, leave this place immediately!"
"Kill...!" A burst of shouting came. Mi Fang and Guan Hai led their troops into the palace. Liu Xie still didn't know what happened. He only saw torches swaying outside the window and figures whirling. He hurriedly called the chamberlain to ask, and the chamberlain answered tremblingly. It was Mi Fang who came in! Liu Xie almost fainted when he heard this. Then he heard a voice outside the door saying loudly: "Your Majesty, please don't worry. Someone is making trouble in the palace tonight. We have ordered the general of the country to come and protect your Majesty!"
The sound of weapons clashing and the shouts of someone being injured or tragically died came from Xiyuan. That was where Liu Bei lived. The Wancheng soldiers had already started fighting with Hei Bing's people. Because they didn't have the weapons to take advantage of, many of the Hei Bing soldiers Bing's assassin was killed by the soldiers. The rest of the people protected Liu Bei and fought and walked, heading towards the south gate. Guan Hai waved his sword and said: "Chase me, we must not let him run away!"
As he was about to reach the south gate, the pursuers behind him had already arrived. The heavy city gate was tightly closed, and the soldiers guarding the city refused to give way. Sun Qian hurriedly ordered one team of black ice assassins to resist the pursuers, and the other team. A pair went to open the city gate. A fierce battle broke out on both sides. The defenders would not retreat, and the attackers wanted to defeat their opponents as soon as possible.
"Boom! Boom!..." A loud banging on the door came from outside the city. Suddenly, a loud bang was heard. A big black head appeared at the city gate. While banging on the door, he shouted loudly: "Brother, don't be afraid, I'm Zhang Fei here!" The voice was louder than ever before, and it was completely unlike anything a human could produce.
With a bang, the city gate collapsed. The soldiers inside hurriedly avoided, but several were still smashed under the city gate. Sun Qian shouted: "Don't pester! Retreat...!" A large group of black ice assassins protected Liu Bei. He quickly passed through the city gate and soon disappeared into the darkness.
Guan Hai sighed: "These turtles actually ran away. I want to see how far you can run!"
