Jianming Chaos

"Where is Lord Liu Qi? I want to see him!" Zhiming said seriously.

"Brothers, go to me!" Yan Sheng gave an order, and the Yue soldiers stepped forward to besiege again.

"I don't want to kill people, don't force me!" Zhiming swung his sword across the sky, and no one could hide from where the light arc passed.

A Yue soldier attacked from behind, and the sharp knife pierced Zhiming's chest.The Yue soldiers thought the sneak attack was successful, but unexpectedly the enemy's body was just a phantom, and the entity had already shifted.

Everyone was wondering, and suddenly felt a strange wind coming from the ground.Several people spun several times at high speed in mid-air and fell to the ground, complaining endlessly.

Zhiming's entity reappeared in front of everyone.The Yue soldiers were frightened one after another, and no one dared to go up.

One person said to Yan Sheng: "Yan Shuai, this person is extraordinary in martial arts and can use strange skills, why not take a step back first and use retreat as an advance."

"You are the elites of the Yue nationality. How dare you be afraid of a lone warrior? Even if he is good at using Qimen Dunjia, he is only a mere man; we have even captured the entire city, and we are still afraid of him? If we are afraid, how can we attack? The next city?" Yan Cheng was arrogant, and immediately rushed out with a stick, "I will go there myself!"

Yan Sheng, who didn't listen to dissuasion, swung his stick straight up, the mace in his hand was like a tiger, and wherever the stick hit, everything shattered.

Zhiming had to admit that the opponent was powerful, and an ordinary opponent probably wouldn't be able to survive five moves.However, with the Demon Slaying Sword, no matter how powerful the opponent's weapon is, it is nothing but scrap iron.

Seeing him becoming more and more courageous in the battle, Zhiming worried that it would turn into a war of attrition, so he decided to win or lose with one move. The lightning sword cut through the strong wind and broke his stick.

Yan Sheng was playing well, and suddenly found that the weapon in his hand had "shrunk", and was at a loss for a while.

"Brother Jian, you seem to have upgraded again. You were not so powerful when facing ordinary humans before." Zhiming looked at the divine sword in his hand and said.

The Excalibur shone brightly, as if responding to its master's praise.Indeed, it has been upgraded internally, and even in the face of ordinary humans, it can display a little divine power.

"What kind of sword is this?" Yan Sheng found that the opponent's weapon was unusual.

"Devil-slaying sword! If you don't want to die, surrender quickly!" Zhiming held up the divine sword, and the human sword became one.

Unwilling to fail, Yan Sheng ordered the soldiers to throw a knife and continue to kill.

Zhiming swept away with his sword, and a gust of cold sword wind passed over the opponent's head.Yan Sheng was stunned.

"Stop beating, I can take your head anytime. This place is not yours, please go back." Zhiming still followed the principle of courtesy first and soldiers later.

Although he was not reconciled, but the gap in strength was right in front of him, Yan Sheng had no choice but to admit defeat.He felt so ashamed that he didn't dare to give orders to his clansmen again.

Zhiming thought for a while and said, "General Yan, you don't have to blame yourself. You have your position, and I have mine. How about this? I'll talk to the prefect first."

"Liu Qi has passed away." Yan Sheng said bluntly.

"What?!" Zhiming was struck by five thunders, "You guys killed him?"

"No, he passed away before we arrived, and he had physical problems. If it weren't for that, we wouldn't be able to take the city easily." Yan Sheng told the truth.

"I met him some time ago, and I didn't feel anything unusual!" Zhiming couldn't believe it.

"There are some hidden diseases, which are not noticeable on the surface; once they occur, they are unstoppable. If the strong man doesn't believe it, I will take you to see him." Yan Sheng made a gesture of invitation.

After seeing Liu Qi's body, Zhiming finally believed it.He mourned for a moment and asked, "Where is Liu Mi?"

"Liu Mi is still alive in the dungeon. Do you want to see him?"

Without further ado, Zhiming rushed to the dungeon, and saw the dying Liu Mi.

"General Lei, why is it you? Mr. Liu..." Liu Mi raised his head with difficulty, speaking weakly.

"I know everything. County magistrate Liu, what's going on?" Zhiming gently lifted his upper body and asked.He felt that the fall of the city was directly related to Liu Qi's death.

Liu Mi briefly described what happened not long ago: Liu Qi fell ill suddenly, and before he could be treated, he passed away, leaving behind the heavy burden of guarding Jiangxia.Huang Zhong and Wei Yan who came to assist in defending the city left halfway. In desperation, Liu Mi wanted to ask the Yue people who had received Liu Qi's help to assist in defending the city.I don't know what went wrong, but after the message was sent, it was intercepted by Yue soldiers in Dabie Mountain; and the Yue village in Dabie Mountain was far away from the headquarters, and to a certain extent, it was not under the control of the King of Yue.The owner of the village, Fei Zhan, owed Zhou Yu a favor, and he happened to receive a secret letter from him, so he took advantage of Liu Qi's death from illness and asked Yan Sheng to send troops.Yan Sheng was ordered to seize Shaxian first, and then Xiakou.Without knowing it, Liu Mi offered the city with both hands.After capturing Sha Xian, before Yan Sheng had time to go to Xiakou, he ran into Zhiming.

"I see. I didn't expect Mr. Liu to leave like this." Zhiming was very disappointed. Liu Qi was the strong backing of Liu Beijun. Originally, he came to Jiangxia to escape the disaster of killing himself, but he still died here.

"It's my fault, I shouldn't have lured wolves into the house..." Liu Mi blamed himself for the fall of the city.

"No, even if these people don't come, Sha Xian will fall sooner or later. If Mr. Liu is still there..." Zhiming punched the ground and said, "If this continues, Jiang Xia will fall into Soochow's hands sooner or later."

"No, I think it's better to make the mistake and let the Yue people guard the city." Liu Bi said surprisingly.

"What?!" Zhiming thought he heard it wrong, "You mean, let these mountains guard the city?"

Liu Bi breathlessly said: "Now... there seems to be no other way but this. Soochow knows that after this place is lost, it will definitely... take advantage of the momentum and make a large-scale attack... Every fortress will lose Jiangxia. These The Yue people...seem to be cruel, but...they still have a sense of propriety in doing things. Now they are the only ones who can defend Shaxian. Originally...they could kill me without hesitation, but when they know...Mr. Liu once provided steel for the Yue people , just...saved my life. As for Mr. Liu's death, it was purely...a sudden incident and had nothing to do with them."

"They treat you like this, and you still speak for them?" Zhiming could see that Liu Mi had suffered a lot before.

"They want to torture me about Mrs. Gan's whereabouts, but I won't tell them to death." Liu Mi showed a righteous demeanor before he died.

"Mrs. Gan? Why?" Zhiming felt something was wrong.

"I don't know. If I'm not mistaken, they attacked Jiang Xia under the instigation of Soochow."

"I agree. If it wasn't for someone's instigation, it would be impossible for these mountains to attack suddenly, and the military information is so accurate and the action is so fast." Zhiming has already guessed who the instigator behind the scenes is.

"General Lei, you must be careful, I feel... Mrs. Gan is in danger, even Uncle Huang..." Liu Bi died before finishing his sentence.

"It turns out that he stayed up until now to wait for his own people to come, so that he could make a final confession." Zhiming gently put down Liu Mi's body, thinking, "Zhou Yu actually played such a trick, it seems that his determination has been broken."

He walked out of the dungeon and asked Yan Sheng: "Tell me honestly, is Zhou Yu instigating you behind your back?"

"I'm just acting on the orders of the village master, I don't know the details." Yan Sheng said perfunctorily.

Zhiming poured a force into his right fist and retracted his fingers.Yan Sheng's shirt was torn, but the other party didn't even touch his collar.

"I don't want to repeat it. Ask again: yes or no?" Zhiming stared at the other party with burning eyes and asked.

Yan Sheng is a person who knows the current affairs and will not suffer immediate losses.He nodded.

Zhiming withdrew his murderous intent and said, "I don't think you will help Zhou Yu in vain, right? He should have mentioned in the secret letter that after the matter is completed, part of Jiangxia will be managed by the Yue people, right?"

Yan Sheng didn't respond, but his eyes betrayed his inner thoughts.

"Don't worry, I won't tell you Zong Shuai about this, but there are three conditions: first, keep Shaxian for me until Liu Beijun comes to take over; second, honorably bury Liu Qi and Liu Mi; third, send a letter back The village, let the village owner not continue to increase troops to Jiangxia, and not take the opportunity to attack other cities. If I find out, I will imagine the consequences." Zhiming said sharply.

Yan Sheng originally thought that the other party would drive them away, but he didn't expect Liu Mi's words to make Zhiming change his mind.Due to the situation, he had no choice but to agree.

Zhiming was about to leave the city when Huang Zhong and Wei Yan came back.Undoubtedly, they looked shocked: firstly, they were shocked by the fall of the city, and secondly, they were shocked by the speed of Zhiming.

"General Huang, General Wei, you are late." Zhiming succinctly described the past, and said, "You two shouldn't have left easily, but this is what happened, so don't blame yourself. If there are no special circumstances, please Let's split things up, one of them will go to Xiakou, and the other will go to Xiling County in the original county to help defend the city, okay?"

"But, can you rest assured here?" Huang Zhong was worried that the Yue people would cheat.

"No problem, I told Yan Sheng. If he dares to act recklessly, I won't be polite!" Zhiming's tone was like that of an army commander.

"In this case, let's do what General Lei wants." Huang Zhong said to Wei Yan.

Out of guilt, Wei Yan also agreed.So, the two left Sha Xian and acted separately.

Zhiming came to Yan Sheng's side and asked, "What are you going to do to Mrs. Gan?"

Yan Sheng pretended not to know.Zhiming shook his head and said, "Don't lie to me, Liu Mi told me before he died."

"I really shouldn't have kept him until now. I'm soft-hearted." Yan Sheng said with some regret, "Since you are Zong Shuai's friend, I'll just say it straight. That's right, not long ago Zhou Yu sent a secret letter to the village owner In addition to asking our family to send troops to attack Jiang Xia, we also need to send another killer to sneak into Nanjun and assassinate Mrs. Gan."

"How did you know that Mrs. Gan is in Nanjun? Liu Mi probably didn't reveal anything about it."

"This is the skill of the Vietnamese intelligence personnel." Yan Sheng said with a little satisfaction, "Liu Mi's mouth is very hard, and he refuses to tell; but he doesn't know, our intelligence personnel have already found out his location."

"Why do you want to assassinate Mrs. Gan? Could it be that Zhou Yu has been playing with her? If it is more beneficial for the princess to get rid of Mrs. Gan and recover Jingzhou, it makes sense; but judging from the time, when Zhou Yu sent a secret letter to Shanyue , I still don’t know that the emperor’s uncle is about to marry the princess. Could it be that everything is expected? This person is too terrifying, sometimes even more than Kong Ming!” Zhiming thought in surprise, and asked anxiously, “Has the killer set off? ?”

"Should have arrived at the destination." Yan Sheng said unhurriedly.

"Oops, Mrs. Gan is in danger!" Zhiming rushed out of the county mansion quickly.

…………

Nanjun, Wangxing Pavilion.

Mrs. Gan hugged the sleeping Adou and sat quietly under the moon, looking very melancholy.Although she is over [-] years old, the peerless appearance bestowed by God has not been corroded by the years, and is still intact on her face; the beauty of her heart is like a bowl of cool and sweet water, nourishing people's hearts pit of heart.

"Ma'am, be careful of catching a cold." Kong Ming sent a coat and put it on for her.

"Military Master, you are here so late, you just want to persuade the slave family to let Princess Sun become a regular?" Mrs. Gan already knew the intention of the other party's visit.

"Madam guessed it. That's right. This matter is related to the ownership of Jingzhou and the rise and fall of the Han Dynasty. I hope Madam will understand." Kong Ming knew that the other party had a knot in his heart, but he could only speak directly.

"Totally understand, and unconditionally support." Mrs. Gan is a person who understands righteousness after all, and said, "Back then in Xiaopei, my slave family followed the emperor's uncle as a concubine. I was lucky to become the main family. The slave family fought with the husband for many years and was captured three times. Have you ever complained? Cao Gong and Lu Wenhou have treated the slave family well, but in comparison, the emperor's uncle knows the world best, even if he is sometimes forced to abandon his wife Abandoning a son, but it is only temporarily succumbing to the lustful power of the troubled times. At the beginning, Mi Zhen sacrificed her life to protect the young master; now, for the great cause of the Han family, why not let the slave family commit herself to be a concubine again?"

Kong Ming was taken aback for a moment, but was speechless.He thought it would take a lot of words to convince her, but he didn't expect that she would have such a broad mind and take the initiative to "let the virtuous" make him respectful.

"I have met Princess Sun. Although she is a bit unruly and self-willed, she is not bad in character. She is perfect to be the wife of the emperor's uncle." Mrs. Gan looked up at the bright moon with her deep eyes, as if she had a lot of things on her mind, but she couldn't help it. pour out.

"Understood, thank you madam. Liang was too worried. I didn't expect that madam's heart is like a bright moon, but it can shine on the earth!" Kong Ming wiped the corners of his eyes lightly, bowed deeply, and the night sky was filled with gratitude.

After Kong Ming left, Mrs. Gan looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh. After talking to Yue, she was going to go back to her room to rest.

As soon as she turned around, a black figure jumped out from the darkness and said, "Are you Liu Bei's wife Ganmei?"

Mrs. Gan was taken aback and asked, "Who are you? This is the county mansion. What are your plans for sneaking in late at night?"

"Someone sent me to take your life!" The shadow showed itself as a masked assassin.

"What?!" Mrs. Gan turned pale with fright. She was not afraid of death, but only worried about A Dou's safety.

"Take your life!" The assassin drew out his dagger, ready to kill.

It was too late, but soon, a flash of light flashed across the night sky, and a silver gun passed the assassin's nose, rubbing off his mask, revealing a scarred face.

Startled, the assassin turned his head and saw a heroic figure appearing ten meters away.

"Bold and lunatic, how dare you sneak into the county mansion in the middle of the night and assassinate my wife!" A roar of anger shook the sky, scaring the assassin's back.
