When Guan Yu heard the report from his subordinates, he immediately knew that something was wrong.
"You should take people to go back immediately. If you find Cao Cao's soldiers and horses, they will be destroyed as soon as possible. I will go to Fenggao."
After making the deployment, Guan Yu directly rode towards Fenggao.
Guan Yu and Yu Jin entered Fenggao City in the evening. Guan Yu went directly to the Prefect's Mansion to find Chen Gong. Due to the curfew, Yu Jin could not go to the Prefect's Mansion overnight, so he had to find an inn to stay.
"Sir, our people found traces of cavalry outside the city. Cao Cao's people may have sneaked in."
Guan Yu told Chen Gong his guess.
"It seems that Cao Cao has sent someone who knows how to sneak in. I'll go meet Ying Shao first and explore the situation first."
As Ying Shao's distinguished guest, Chen Gong was naturally not subject to the curfew and went directly out of his residence towards Ying Shao's prefect's residence.
"who?"
When the soldiers guarding the gate saw Chen Gong coming, they immediately became alert.
"Brother, I came here during the day to teach the prefect about drinking."
Chen Gong flashed the wine jar in his hand and threw another sling of money.
"You are a big shot, you don't have to do this."
The soldier took the money thrown by Chen Gong and hesitated whether he should take it or not.
"That's right. Just hold it, little brother."
Chen Gong smiled slightly and indicated that he could take it with confidence.
"Thank you very much, sir. Please wait a moment and I will inform you."
After saying this, the soldier put the money into his pocket and walked happily towards the prefect's mansion.
"Sir, Mr. Chen Gong asked to see you. He said he wanted to have a drink with you."
The soldiers came to Yingshao's gate and informed him of the news about Chen Gong.
"Ask him to come over."
"promise."
"Sir, the prefect has invited me."
Hearing Ying Shao's invitation, Chen Gong's heart dropped into his stomach. It seemed that Cao Cao's people had not seen Ying Shao yet, otherwise he would never see him now, at least not today.
"good."
Chen Gong nodded and carried his wine jar into the prefect's mansion.
The two of them drank back and forth for an hour before Chen Gong pretended to be defeated and withdrew.
"Brother, please help me with something."
Chen Gong came to the door and saw the guard's mouth curled up involuntarily.
"Sir, please tell me if you have something to say."
Hearing Chen Gong's words, the two soldiers guarding the gate immediately came over.
"Take this down first."
Chen Gong took out two small gold ingots from his sleeves and gave them to the two soldiers guarding the gate.
"Sir, what is this?"
The eyes of the two soldiers immediately turned green when they saw the gold ingot. This was gold. No matter how small the ingot was, it could be worth two or even three coins.
"Don't be afraid. I will arrange for someone to be at the gate of the prefect's mansion tomorrow. If anyone comes to see the prefect, just shout."
Chen Gong directly put the gold ingot into the soldiers' hands.
"Sir, you just have to answer these little things, there's no need for this."
The two soldiers put the gold ingots into their sleeves and saluted Chen Gong.
"Well, I'll leave it to you, brother."
Chen Gong nodded and walked towards his residence.
"General Yunchang, Cao Cao's people should not have contacted Ying Shao yet. You will wait outside the prefect's mansion tomorrow. If Cao Cao's people ask to see Ying Shao, the soldiers guarding the gate will signal loudly, and then."
When Chen Gong said this, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
"I see."
Although Chen Gong didn't say it clearly, Guan Yu already understood what he meant.
"Well, it's getting late. Let's go to bed early."
"promise."
At dawn the next day, Guan Yu came to the outside of the prefect's mansion, found a tea stall opposite the prefect's mansion, and rested there.
Yu Quan also left the inn just after the curfew was lifted. When he came to the outside of the prefect's mansion, he did not go in directly, but walked around the prefect's mansion.
"Um?"
As soon as Yu Jin arrived outside the prefect's mansion, Guan Yu noticed him, for no other reason than because Yu Jin had the smell of blood on his body, a unique smell that could only be found on the old man in the killing field.
Seeing that there was no problem, Yu Jin went to the main entrance of the prefect's mansion again.
"For what?"
The guard also noticed Yu Jin, and as soon as he came up to him, he frowned and asked him questions.
"Brother, please give me this letter to the prefect."
After saying this, Yu Jin took out a greeting note written by himself, which stated that he was Cao Cao's envoy, and took out a handful of money in his other hand.
Hearing that the person who came was looking for the prefect, the guard's eyes flashed with a look of waiting for you, and then they looked at each other.
"If you're looking for the prefect, please wait a moment. I'll report it right away."
He deliberately raised his voice, then turned around and walked towards the door.
"finally come."
Hearing this voice, Guan Yu smiled slightly, and then rushed over with a lunge.
As soon as Guan Yu started, Yu Jin smiled slightly, then turned around and ran back. But since Guan Yu had already discovered you, how could he let you run away.
The two of them chased each other, and after about a while of tea, Yu Jin led Guan Yu to a hidden alley.
"Which way are you going?"
Yu Jin stopped and Guan Yu also stopped slowly.
"Who said I was going to run away? I was just afraid of killing you in the street and causing bad consequences."
Yu Jin turned around and slowly took out the steel knife hanging from his waist.
"Haha, we have the same idea."
Guan Yu also slowly took out the steel knife from his waist and pointed it at Jin.
"Taishan is about bans and rules."
"Hedong Guan Yu Guan Yunchang."
Cao Cao's subordinates knew how powerful Guan Yu was, but Yu Jin had never dealt with Guan Yu, so he naturally didn't know about the later Guan Erye.
"kill."
Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, so Yu Jin took an arrow step and slashed at Guan Yu with his sword.
Guan Yu also had a solemn look in his eyes. Apart from anything else, Yu Jin was not an easy character to deal with just by looking at him.
Aiming at the power of Jin's sword, Guan Yu struck out with a slash and directly blocked Yu Jin's steel sword, and then followed the trend with a cleave, slashing directly at Jin's wrist.
The moment the two swords connected, Yu Jin felt that something was wrong, because Guan Yu's power far exceeded his own, so it would be difficult to handle.
He directly changed his hands to hold the sword and blocked it horizontally, blocking Guan Yu's cleave. Then he made a spinning slash, and the steel sword was like a bolt of lightning, cutting straight through Guan Yu's right waist.
"clang."
Guan Yu swung his sword to block Yu Jin's whirling slash, and then used a twisting technique, trying to twist Yu Jin's steel sword away, but he was overconfident after all. Yu Jin's swords in both hands doubled, and Guan Yu wanted to suppress it with one hand.
It just can't be done.
The Jiao Zi Jue did not take effect. Yu Jin withdrew his steel knife directly, then made another sliding step and stabbed Guan Yu's left chest with the knife.
Guan Yu swung his sword again to neutralize Yu Jin's attack, and then the blade wiped a spark from the back of Jin's sword and cut straight into Jin's throat.
At the critical moment, an iron bridge in Yu Jin could barely escape Guan Yu's blade, and then a swallow nodded and raised it to Guan Yu's knife-wielding wrist with his toes.
