I received my adopted son in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 19 Is the old man more handsome today?
In the second watch, the night was deep and the world was silent.

In an era when there was a curfew, at night, everything on the street became extremely quiet, so quiet that people would feel flustered.Occasionally, one or two dog barks would not break the eerie silence, but would give people a jolt.

In this darkness and silence, a few figures quietly appeared in the house of Wu Qiong, Zhou Wei, Zheng Tai, and He Yong.They seemed to be holding something in their arms, and after identifying the direction, they disappeared quickly.

This time, they changed their strategy, and followed Yuan Kai's instructions, starting with the scholar Haoqiang.The reason why he chose to act late at night was because he felt that there had been a lot of noise in the three cities during the day, so it was better to be more cautious.

One of them walked slowly on a narrow side street, with low houses on both sides, and the pitch-black under the eaves, which could almost touch his head.

At the end of the small street, there are row upon row of mansions with high gates. This is the goal of his trip.Just throwing in the news from the bamboo slips in his arms, those powerful scholars will feel fear in their hearts and spontaneously brew a storm.

A...storm that overturned Luoyang!

But when he was in the middle of the small street, the man suddenly felt a sharp murderous aura suddenly rising from behind, which was fleeting.He reacted very quickly, and the moment he turned his head, the dagger in his hand had turned into a shooting star, flying towards a certain corner of the house. There was a sound of "铛", the metal collided, and the dagger was bounced off by something, obliquely sinking into a wall of earth.

That's right, the people sent this time are no longer the family servants and children in the daytime, but the dead rangers who were raised.Not only do they have martial arts skills, but they are also extremely loyal to their masters.

"Who is here?" The dead man shouted in a low voice. He has traveled a long time in the rivers and lakes, and he is very confident in his martial arts.I didn't expect that the opponent could easily block the sudden attack just now.

In the dark, there was no response.

He hurriedly swept towards the wall again, but still didn't notice any movement—the lurker had quietly changed his position the moment he received the dagger.

Now, he is in the light, and the assassin is in the dark.

After looking around cautiously, he still couldn't find the assassin.

The dead man felt a little apprehensive, and gradually felt chills all over his body: there is no doubt that the assassin's concealment level is higher than his own.What's even more frightening is that the secret operation tonight has already been ambushed here!
Shocked, he pulled out his sword from his sword pouch, held the hilt tightly, and assumed a defensive posture.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from behind the eaves behind him like a night owl pouncing on a mouse.The dead man was shocked and immediately turned around and raised his sword to block, but unexpectedly, there was another fierce murderous aura coming from behind!
There was a sound of '噗嗤', and the sound of the sharp knife piercing into the flesh and blood was very clear in the night.The fierce murderous aura stopped the barking of the surrounding dogs.

Looking down at the iron sword piercing his chest, the dead man laughed contemptuously: "Sneak attack, victory is unarmed..." As he spoke, he slowly pulled out a crossbow bolt from his chest.

Yes, the assassin was not one, but two.

A man shot an arrow in a sneak attack just now, but he knocked him down with a dagger.Then another person jumped out suddenly, messing up his judgment.In the end, the crossbow arrow pierced the chest, and then the iron sword pierced the heart.

"We don't care about sneaking or not, we only care about whether the mission is accomplished." The assassin in front of him looked up, with a bronze mask covering his face.

Then, the dead soldier saw the crossbow in his hand: "It's actually a military crossbow... you guys, who are you?"

"You don't need to know about this." After the assassin finished speaking, he suddenly drew out his iron sword.Blood spattered his bronze mask, adding an eerie splendor to the night.

After this scene, screams came from everywhere in Luoyang City.The patrolling soldiers rushed there holding torches, but only found puddles of blood, not even a dead body.

It's like... nothing happened tonight.

……

Another place, Li Ru's mansion.

There are only a few lights in the courtyard, but the lights in the study are bright.He quietly flipped through "The Doctrine of the Mean", occasionally picking up the brewed tea in a cup.After finding that the tea was slightly cold, he picked up Wen and refilled another half cup on the charcoal stove.

"Is everything done?"

When he looked up again, a man in black clothes wearing a bronze mask and respectfully kneeling on the ground appeared in the study at some point.

"It's all done." The voice was hoarse and dull, like a lot of gravel rolling in the wind: "There were 56 dead soldiers in the city tonight, and none of them were missed."

"Is there anyone alive?"

"11 people."

"Good..." Li Ru breathed a sigh of relief, took a sip of hot tea and said slowly, "I received the news in the three cities during the day, and they took action again tonight."

"Taiwei Qian reminded, Wan exhorted, the aftermath must be done well, but they are still so impatient..." After finishing speaking, their expression gradually became cold: "Interrogate them overnight, and I will find out who ordered them by tomorrow morning!"

"Here!" The man in Xuanyi nodded heavily, got up and walked into the few lights outside the courtyard, and quickly merged with the darkness.

Li Ru was left alone, and he had no intention of reading at this time, Fu Xu sighed: "In the past, although the Taiwei had strategies, he did not expect to be so cautious and thoughtful now... Although I don't know why, it is a beautiful thing."

"This capital city will be very lively in the future..."

A bleak night wind blew through the window, and Li Ru smiled contentedly: Now, he can finally have a good night's sleep.

However, when he woke up early the next morning, he found that the man in black was kneeling on the bed.Judging from the bloodshot eyes in Youyou's eye holes, he should have knelt for at least half of the night.

In an instant, Li Ru's expression turned ugly.

Sure enough, the man in Xuanyi said in shame: "The subordinates are incompetent, those dead men last night..."

"Haven't found any clues?" Li Ru didn't care about the dead men at all. When he saw the man in Xuanyi, he knew that all the dead men were dead.

"No..." The man in Xuanyi lowered his head, and said, "Those dead soldiers who were knocked out by us bit the poison hidden in the roots of their teeth as soon as they woke up. We pulled out the poisonous teeth of the rest, but still ..."

"After the defeat, do you want to die?"

Li Ru stood up slowly, without surprise or anger, and analyzed lightly: "Hiding venomous teeth and yet being so loyal, this is not something that ordinary scholars and tyrants can raise."

"This subordinate is ineffective, I implore my lord to forgive me!" the man in Xuanyi said in a deep voice immediately after hearing this.

"Hmph, punishment is certain, you know what to do." Li Ru quickly put on his clothes, with a sullen expression on his face: "The most urgent thing is to report to the Taiwei quickly."

After all, without looking at the man in Xuanyi who was kneeling on the ground, he went straight out of the study and ordered: "Prepare the car and go to Taiwei's Mansion!"

……

At this moment, Dong Zhuo was still unaware of the secret confrontation in the city last night.

As he was eating breakfast, he couldn't stop the smile on his face. No matter how he looked at him, he looked like a 400-jin stupid fat man from the landlord's house.

Moreover, this silly fat man couldn't help asking the maid beside him: "How is the old man's complexion today, does he look more handsome?"

The servant girl has never seen Dong Zhuo so happy. Although she has served him before, her impression is that this Xiliang warrior is cruel, vicious and cruel...

Today he suddenly smiled like a chrysanthemum, the maid not only didn't feel warm, but trembled with fright: "Tai, the Taiwei is mighty and majestic, he is the commander of the world."

Dong Zhuo was unhappy: "It's not the handsome one, it's the handsome handsome one..."

Then, I couldn't help muttering: "The rewards from the system finally came out today, I just didn't use them all to become handsome and lose weight... But one day, the old man will blind you little girls!"
