Jianming Chaos

Zhiming teleported to Zhugejin's mansion, and happened to meet Zhao Yun practicing at night in the courtyard, stabbing with a silver spear like light and shadow.

Zhiming reacted quickly, turned his head slightly to the right, and the silver gun whistled past his ear.

Zhao Yun thought he had hurt someone by mistake, so he quickly put away the silver gun, saw that it was Zhiming, and said in surprise, "Zhiming, why are you here? You're not hurt, are you?"

Zhiming breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, it's still an inch short. It seems that this thing still has side effects."

"What side effects?" Zhao Yun didn't understand.

"...It's nothing, I just came from the Red Cliff Battlefield." Zhiming couldn't explain why he suddenly appeared.

"The Red Cliff Battlefield? Has the fight started? How is the battle going? Looking at you, it seems that you have just experienced a life-and-death struggle?" Zhao Yun looked him up and down under the moonlight and asked.

"The battle was extremely fierce. The southeast wind suddenly blew up, and Chibi turned into a sea of ​​flames; Cao Jun's warships were wiped out in ashes." Zhiming only used a few key words to describe the battle, "Cao Jun's water and land villages were all destroyed. , our coalition forces have won. The news should reach here soon."

Zhao Yunxi said: "That's really great! Uncle Huang and the others are all safe and sound?"

"Don't worry, it's all right....By the way, did anything happen here?" Zhiming was more concerned about whether there was an assassin.

"Which aspect are you referring to?" Zhao Yun was puzzled.

"For example... have you met an assassin or something?"

"Assassin? No, it has been calm here. Isn't Chaisang the political center of Soochow? Where did the assassin come from? You know, I'm almost suffering from hallucinations. If it wasn't for the life of the military division, I would have left this place a long time ago." What a hell place, I dream of fighting side by side with you! You should know that I can't sit still at home." Zhao Yun's tone was like a trapped animal eager to get out of the cage as soon as possible.

Zhiming didn't pay much attention to what he said behind him, but just stared at the night sky in a trance, and said to himself: "Could it be that the judgment of the emperor and the military advisor is wrong?"

"What do you mean?" Zhao Yun didn't understand.

Zhiming explained his previous events, saying: "I came here in a hurry because I was worried about the safety of the military adviser's family, my master and my sister."

"I didn't feel anything wrong during this time. Are the lord and the military adviser worrying too much? Besides, last time Liu Feng came here, he didn't mention the assassin." Zhao Yun didn't think so.

"I think it's better to wake up to [-] points. Although it's just a guess, the premonition of the military advisor is usually very accurate." Zhiming reminded.

Zhao Yun observed Zhiming for a while and said, "Excuse me, how did you come here? I don't feel any signs of you riding a horse. Besides, how did you enter the mansion at this late hour? And why did you appear suddenly? Within my attack range?"

Zhiming couldn't explain all this, and said, "Let's talk about this later. Brother Zilong, I don't think the matter is that simple. The assassin will definitely appear. I must solve this matter as soon as possible, because I am still rushing to another place."

"Where are you going? How can you get there without a horse?" Zhao Yun asked.

"I'll find a way. Can you recall for me, have any strange things happened in the past few days?" Zhiming always felt that someone was staring at them in the dark.

"Really not. Apart from practicing, I eat, sleep, and chat with them every day. I'm almost an otaku. If the lord doesn't call me again, my limbs will really degenerate." Zhao Yun made a lonely joke.

"No, Uncle Huang specially ordered me to inform you that we must maintain a fighting state at all times to protect everyone's safety." Zhiming lied expediently, "This is related to the future fate of our army."

"Finally there is a mission?" Zhao Yun's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands, "That's great! I knew it, my lord will not forget me!"

"How could it be? The military adviser specially arranged for you to stay here, brother Zilong, isn't it just to protect his family?" Zhiming gently pushed his chest with his hand.

"That is, that is. But... isn't that the same as now? Besides, I really don't feel that there are assassins. Based on my years of experience in martial arts, as long as there is murderous intent around, I can immediately detect it." Zhao Yun looked around. All around, there was silence, and I couldn't feel any breath that was out of harmony with the current atmosphere.

"In short, be careful." Zhiming planned to take a look at his master and sister, and asked Zhao Yun to lead the way.

Zhao Yun took him to the guest room behind the big courtyard.There are many rooms here, almost one for each person, without interfering with each other.Zhiming had to admit that the homes of these officials were really big, and could accommodate people from several villages. It seemed that the gap between the rich and the poor was also one of the main culprits causing social unrest.

Unfortunately, he came at an untimely time, and both the master and sister fell asleep.Zhiming glanced through the paper window, confirmed that they were safe, and prepared to leave.

At this time, the master sat up suddenly, opened the door, and saw that it was Zhiming, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Zhiming, how could you..."

"Hush!" Zhiming signaled Master to keep his voice down, pulled him a few steps, and said, "Master, I'll come back to see you. Don't wake up Alan, I'm leaving soon."

"You were about to leave just after you came here? ... Besides, how did you get into this state? What happened?" Master asked with concern.

"Well, it's hard to say, I just came back from the battlefield." Zhiming didn't have time to chat too much, and said, "Master, there is a very important matter. According to Kong Ming's speculation, there may be assassins who will kidnap his family and kill him." You are implicated. The means of war, you know."

The master understood in seconds, and said, "Actually, to tell you the truth, I also felt this way before, so I have been cautious all this time. You see, I got up as soon as you appeared outside the door."

"Zhugejin probably won't... participate in it?" Zhao Yun considered the problem from the perspective of internal worries.

"Probably not. Aren't Kong Ming's family members also his family members?" Zhiming wasn't worried about this.

Zhao Yun patted his shoulder lightly and said, "Don't worry, with me and your master here, nothing will happen. You can go as soon as you can. In fact, there is no need to make a trip in person for such a small matter, just find someone to take a message. "

Zhiming thinks about it too, with these two masters around, what assassins are there to be afraid of?That being the case, he can basically let go of the big stone in his heart and go to Yidu country with peace of mind.

"Are you going back in a hurry? Don't wait to see Alan tomorrow? It's almost dawn." Master asked.

"I can't wait, I have something important to do. I've already met her." Zhiming was about to leave.

"No matter where you go, be careful." Master could tell from Zhiming's eyes that he was going to an extremely dangerous place, but it was inconvenient to stop him, so he urged.

"By the way, Zhiming, you just mentioned that Zhou Yu will send assassins to assassinate Mr. Liu Qi at the same time?" Zhao Yun asked.

"...Yes, that's right." Zhiming actually didn't want to mention this matter, he kept telling himself in his heart, as long as he confirmed that the master and sister were safe, he would go to work immediately.

"Then who is responsible for informing him? Mr. Liu has tried his best to assist our army. Without him sending troops to help, how can the lord have the capital to cooperate with the Wu army? How can the Sun Liu coalition army win a big victory?" Zhao Yun's words were like a sharp thorn The steel needle used by him was stimulating Zhiming's cranial nerves with its inconspicuous needle.

"I believe Uncle Huang will arrange everything." Zhiming could only say so.

"That's good, I hope he's safe and sound." Zhao Yun nodded.

It was nothing at all, but Zhiming felt a little guilty when Zhao Yun said that.In fact, he could have used the teleportation technique to go to Jiangxia to remind Liu Qi, so he didn't go to avoid complications; now it seems that it is necessary to go.

Thinking of this, Zhiming hurriedly bid farewell to Master and Zhao Yun, went to a dark place, and activated the magic ring.

…………

A few hours ago, Jiangxia, the county government.

The prefect Liu Qi has been unable to sleep for the past few days, feeling that something is going on.Not long ago, he did his best to provide the Yue people with tens of thousands of tons of steel, and this incident has exhausted him physically and mentally.

In fact, some time ago, he specially sent someone to Qingzhou to inquire, but he did not receive any news of Xinzhou Mu's appointment, which proved that his younger brother Liu Cong had been killed on the way.Now that he has no relatives and no reason, he regards his uncle Liu Bei as his only relative.Liu Bei's ability to successfully seek the help of Soochow Wu is inseparable from Liu Qi's contribution.

Liu Mi, the former county magistrate of Fancheng, is currently staying here temporarily. He sat and drank with Liu Qi, and said, "Looking at Mr. Liu's restlessness recently, there must be some unresolved knots in his heart. Can you share with someone?"

Liu Qi drank a glass of wine and said, "Lord Liu, you know that I have always wanted to help the emperor personally, but I only regret that I don't have enough strength; besides, there must be someone guarding this place."

"It turned out to be for this matter. It's not difficult. Mr. Liu can go directly to the emperor's uncle, and I can guard Jiang Xia for a period of time. I was a county magistrate, so you don't have to worry about the deployment of troops and city defense." Liu Mi added wine for him and said.

"Lord Liu is overthinking. It's not that I don't trust you. At the beginning, I came to guard Jiangxia because my uncle listened to Master Kong Ming's advice and suggested it to my father, in order to protect me from my stepmother and Cai Mao. Uncle and Kong Ming rescued me. They took my life, so I should do my best to help them. As for guarding Jiangxia, I have a heavy responsibility, if I could leave casually, I would have left long ago." Liu Qi explained the difficulty.

"If Mr. Liu is worried, why don't you invite Yue people to help? Although these Yue people are from the mountains and forests, they are also moral. If you can ask them for help, you will have nothing to worry about." Liu Mi suggested.

"I've thought about it, I'm afraid luring wolves into the house and causing disaster." Liu Qi was worried.

"Now Wu Yue has shaken hands and made peace, right? Besides, when the Yue people asked you for help, young master, you did help a lot. They have to pay back this favor, right? Before they left, they also promised like this."

"That's right, let me think about it again. After all, the position of the Yue people is rather embarrassing now. I wonder if they are willing to help me defend the city." Liu Qi is really eager to go to the battlefield. He has always wanted to find an opportunity to prove his strength to his father. , Let his father know that he has the ability to manage Jingzhou, but unfortunately his father can't see it anymore.

Since Cai Mao and Zhang Yun chased him away when he went to Xiangyang to visit a doctor last time, Liu Qi has been brooding and wanted to seek revenge. He didn't know that these two were gone.

Thinking of the expression on his father's face when he longed to see him but couldn't see him before he died, Liu Qi became more and more annoyed, slammed the table and stood up, saying: "I can't bear it anymore, I'm going to help my uncle and kill the traitors! "

"My lord, please don't get excited, you can send someone to contact Bai Zhuoer first." Liu Mi was afraid that he would be overwhelmed.

"Before Bai Zhuoer left, he left a carrier pigeon for the Yue race, just in case, it came in handy now. I will write the letter and ask Mr. Liu to help release the carrier pigeon. How about it? I won't wait, Jiang Xia has been taking care of him for a few days now, Mr. Liu." Liu Qi cupped his fists and knelt down on one knee.

Liu Mi hurriedly helped him up, and said, "Mr. Liu, what are you doing? The overall situation is the most important thing in my job, and I, Liu, have a duty to do it!"

"Then I will trouble you, Mr. Liu! Since Huang Zu was destroyed, even though it was suggested by my uncle, my father can rest assured that Jiang Xia will be handed over to me to guard, which proves that he still has great expectations for me. I must not Live up to his spirit in the sky! Jiang Xia has his own unique defensive advantages, coupled with the help of Yue Ren, even if he doesn't help, Soochow will never be able to easily attack!" Liu Qi said confidently.

After arranging everything, Liu Qi led a group of soldiers to leave by boat and headed for Chibi.Liu Mi released the carrier pigeons as ordered, and asked Yue people to help defend the city.

…………

Zhiming came to Jiangxia unknowingly, he planned to save Liu Qi first, and then go to Yidu Kingdom.

The county mansion was completely silent, so quiet that it made people feel a little creepy.

"Strange, it shouldn't be this kind of atmosphere." Zhiming was thinking, when suddenly a black shadow flashed nearby.

"Assassin!" His first reaction was that the assassin was coming, and he hurried to catch up.

Zhiming followed the black shadow for a distance, but found that the black shadow suddenly disappeared.Just as he was wondering, he saw that the black shadow had shuttled between the eaves like a flying mouse, and was submerged in the night in a blink of an eye.

"What a nimble skill! Who is it?" Zhiming was amazed, he didn't see the other party's entity from the beginning to the end, it seemed to be a shadow moving.

Zhiming quickly rushed to the county mansion compound to take a look, and as expected, a large group of soldiers fell down, as well as Liu Mi.He felt that they were still alive, but they were seriously injured; Liu Qi was not found at the scene.

Zhiming suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of guilt in his heart, regretting that he was late, and maybe he could have avoided all this from happening.

He helped the dying Liu Mi, and asked, "Master Liu, what's going on? Where is Mr. Liu?"

Liu Bi managed to recover, and said, "There...there are assassins! Shadow...shadow..."

"Master Liu, can you explain a little more clearly?" Zhiming felt that there was not enough information.

"The assassin is...the shadow...Young Master...led the army...to help the emperor..." Liu Mi said intermittently.
