At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the competition for the deer in the world

Chapter 180 Luo Mao Was Assassinated Without Surprise
In the blink of an eye, more than two months have passed, and the time has come to August 12, 27.

For more than two months, there have been endless wars and chaos all over the world.

Under the rule of the Sizhou army, it was a different scene. Compared with other places, the situation under the rule of the Sizhou army was peaceful, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

In the past two months, the Sizhou Army in various places under the rule of the Sizhou Army has seized the time to conduct drills and prepare for the long-established plan to capture Jinling.

Of course, what makes the Sizhou army happy is that now is the time when rice and wheat are ripe, and these are food.

It's the moon, when hundreds of medicines are gathered, the grass dies, and the wheat comes in autumn, it's the wheat.

As for rice, the seedlings were raised in mid-April, and by now on August 27, it can be said that it is fully ripe.

Cheng De, the general of the Sizhou Army, gave an order, and the Sizhou Army under his rule helped the people harvest rice and wheat, and it was in full swing.

Jiangdu City Luofu.

In a lobby with the door open, Luo Mao was sitting on a wooden chair, and in front of him was a large case with a pile of thick documents piled up on it.

At this time, Luo Mao Zhengxu looked at the document in front of him, and rubbed his eyebrows.

This document was issued from Sizhou City, and it was signed by Cheng De, the general who conquered the captives.

Luo Mao stared at the document in front of him, which read:

For those who are in a hurry, rice and wheat should be mowed; and the people's valley is the first plan to take Jinling.

As far as the attack on Zhenjiang Road, it can be postponed for a while, and when it is finished, I will command Chang Yuchun and others to go down Zhenjiang Road. I will lead an army of 30 to attack Jinling City, and we will start on September [-].

On August 25th, Cheng De.

After reading it several times, Luo Mao sighed softly.

In order to take Zhenjiang Road, he has already made many arrangements. Together with the battle, Luo Mao firmly believes that this Zhenjiang Road will definitely be won in one battle.

For more than two months, he has been busy with this matter.

Now the document sent by Cheng De, the general who conquered the captives, forced him to focus on harvesting rice and wheat first.

Which is more important, Luo Mao naturally knows clearly.

The matter of mowing rice and wheat is very important, otherwise, there would be no saying that food is the first thing for the people.

Now, it is just a matter of delaying the attack on Zhenjiang Road for a few more days, but the final result will not change, it will only be sooner or later.

Thinking of this, Luo Mao shouted to the outside of the lobby: "Come here!"

The two book clerks who had been waiting outside the lobby, one on the left and one on the right, entered after hearing the sound.

The two of them quickly came to Luo Mao, lowered their heads, bowed their bodies, and looked at the ground.

Seeing this, Luo Mao opened his mouth and said: "Pass my order, the people in Jiangdu City will act immediately to mow rice and wheat, and make an announcement to the whole city. In addition, the soldiers of the Sizhou Army will help them do the work of mowing rice and wheat, There is no need to charge a penny, and it will also be written in."

The two secretariats nodded and said, "Yes."

Seeing this, Luo Mao waved his hands and asked the two secretary offices to go down to deal with the matter immediately.

After watching the two book offices leave, Luo Mao thought of Chang Yuchun, Tang He and the other Chen Bing who were near Zhenjiang Road at this time.

He frowned, thought for a while, then picked up a blank piece of paper and laid it on the table. At the same time, he picked up a brush and wrote on the blank piece of paper:

Wherever you move, stop.On September [-], you can act according to the plan.

After hastily writing two letters with the same content, Luo Mao sent someone to deliver the two letters to Chang Yuchun, Tang He and the others.

at this time.

A figure with a black scarf covering his face rolled in from Luo Mao's mansion, aiming at Luo Mao's direction at this time.

This person's eyes were full of fierce light.

According to the prime minister's intention, this Luo Mao is Cheng De's right-hand man, if Luo Mao is removed, Cheng De's heart will definitely be hurt for a long time.The prime minister promised me that as long as I finish this time, I can go far away with sister Xiang and never ask about worldly affairs again.

This time, there were fewer servants in the Luo Mao Mansion, and even a few soldiers from the Sizhou Army. God helped me, and it was worthwhile for me to squat for two full months.

After this person thought for a while in his heart, his whole body seemed to be full of strength.

He is a killer, a killer trained by Prime Minister You Tuotuo of Zhongshu Sheng in the Yuan Dynasty. He can only do one thing, and that is to kill.

Originally, he thought that killing was the only thing in his life, but it wasn't until he met Xiangmei that he longed for the kind of stable life other than killers.

He is tired of the life of a killer now, he just wants to kill one more person at the end, and he will wash his hands and never touch this again in the future.

Suddenly, this thought flashed through his mind, and his eyes became firmer and sharper.

The killer quickly drew out the long knife carried behind him, and went straight to Luo Mao's open lobby room.

When he saw four people waiting outside the lobby of Luo Mao, the killer rushed up without the slightest hesitation.

Seeing a person wrapped in a black scarf suddenly appear, the four soldiers of the Sizhou Army who were guarding outside the Luo Mao Hall were startled.

"There are assassins!" One of them let go of his voice and shouted, and quickly drew the long knife in his hand.

The other three Sizhou Army soldiers also quickly drew out their sharp long knives, and quickly stood in an arc-shaped square, approaching the killer.

The killer's eyes were full of murderous intent, and his movements were light and fast, as agile as a cheetah, making him elusive.

In an instant, the weapons of both sides collided.

"Ding!"

Sparks splashed and the sound shook the surroundings.

Then, there was a crackling sound, resounding outside the lobby door.

Luo Mao, who was sitting in the lobby, changed his expression.

Luo Mao realized that he was in a dangerous situation when he heard the soldiers of the Sizhou Army shouting that there was an assassin.

Without the slightest hesitation, Luo Mao walked into an inner room from the left side of the lobby, and then quickly rotated a simple inkstone behind the bookshelf in the inner room.

The bed board next to the bed in the inner room moved quickly from front to back automatically, leaving a space beside the bed.

There is a hole in this space, under the bed is a basement with steps.

Luo Mao quickly entered this space. After entering, he pressed a round stone button under one of the edges just entered.

Gradually, the bed above Luo Mao's head quickly closed.

The killer outside the lobby happened to have just dealt with the four Sizhou Army soldiers, and then the killer broke into the lobby directly.

When the killer broke into the lobby and didn't see Luo Mao's figure, he glanced around sharply.

When the killer saw a document that was open on the case, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he walked towards the back room without the slightest delay.

However, when the killer came to the back room, he was dumbfounded.

There was no one in this room.

This made the killer feel a burst of anxiety in his heart.

He first poked around with a knife in every corner of the room, hoping to find some mechanism or something.

However, doing so is just a waste of effort.

As time passed, cold sweat broke out on the killer's forehead.

He understood that if Luo Mao was not found again, the soldiers of the Sizhou Army who would react later would definitely surround this place with heavy troops, and then he would be unable to fly.

Luo Mao, who was staying in the basement under the bed, naturally heard the movement above his head.

At this moment, Luo Mao held his breath and concentrated, not daring to make a sound.

At the same time, Luo Mao couldn't help feeling sincere admiration for Cheng De in his heart.

Cheng De had sent someone to remind him of the layout in this mansion, otherwise, he couldn't imagine that without such a layout, he would have become a corpse now.

At this moment, the killer's mentality collapsed, and he was even a little out of breath.

He took everything in the room and smashed it hard on the ground.

After a while, the room was in a mess.

Finally, the killer's ears moved suddenly.

He heard the movement from outside the lobby, and it seemed that many people were approaching here.

The killer glanced around the room with resentment, then quickly crossed several houses, preparing to climb over the wall and escape.

It's just that the killer jumped out of the wall, and his body froze immediately.

At this moment, the assassin's heart was extremely terrified.

In his sight, facing him were countless bows and arrows held by soldiers of the Sizhou Army.

Moreover, the bow and arrow have already been drawn.

Just wait for an order.

The arrows were shot at him.

The killer froze in place, as if his body was under control, his face was already pale, and his eyes were full of fear.

Sudden.

A sentence came from behind the soldiers surrounding the killer - "Let go!"

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
Thousands of arrows fell on the killer like a rain of stars.

The killer's body was shot into a hedgehog and eventually fell against the wall.

At the last moment of his life, the killer's mind was full of Xiangmei's figure.

The person who gave the order to release the arrow was none other than Geng Zaicheng.

Geng Zaicheng saw that the killer was already dead, so he rushed to Luo's residence with his men, and shouted, "Everyone, search carefully for me. You must see the person alive and the corpse in death."

Geng Zaicheng had bad thoughts in his heart as early as Geng Zaicheng heard that the servants of Luo's mansion told him that Luo's mansion had encountered an assassin.

At this time, he had just taken out the assassin with his men, so he didn't know whether Luo Mao was alive or dead.

He only knew that if Luo Mao died in this assassination, General Cheng De would be furious, and Geng Zaicheng would inevitably be severely punished.

At that time, his future will be completely over.

So, at this moment, Geng Zaicheng was flustered, but his face was extremely calm.

Without keeping Geng Zaicheng waiting for long, Luo Mao himself suddenly appeared.

When Geng Zaicheng saw that Luo Mao was still alive, he felt relieved.

Almost, his future is over.

After Geng Zaicheng saluted Luo Mao, he asked, "General Luo, are you not injured?"

Luo Mao shook his head: "This time, Luo Mao thanked General Geng for coming to the rescue, otherwise, Luo Mao might be in trouble."

When Geng Zaicheng heard this, his face turned red.

He came with troops and did nothing, and when he came, the assassin was about to flee.After all, he was still late.Things happened before they came, and luckily Luo Mao didn't have any accidents.

Geng Zaicheng looked at Luo Mao with complicated emotions: "General Luo, have you had a life-and-death hatred with someone recently? Why would an assassin want to assassinate you?"

Luo Mao smiled wryly and said: "Recently, I have been staying in the mansion to deal with affairs, and the people I see are basically the book office, and there are some book assistants, generals of the Sizhou Army, how can I have the opportunity to have a life-and-death enmity with others What? Actually, if you want to know who is going to assassinate me, just look at who can benefit from assassinating me."

Geng Zaicheng's brain reacted quickly, and he looked at Luo Mao in surprise: "General Luo means that the Yuan Dynasty wants to assassinate you?"

After hearing this, Luo Mao's eyes became extremely calm, and he replied: "I'm afraid it was the handwriting of Tuotuo, the right prime minister of Zhongshu Sheng in the Yuan Dynasty! It seems that Tuotuo is already in a hurry. The situation in the Yuan Dynasty, what happened recently?" , I still need the help of Jueshengwei to investigate. Perhaps, I can deduce some useful information from some clues."

Geng Zaicheng did not answer this question, but looked at Luo Mao seriously and said: "General Luo, from now on I will select a hundred elites from the army to serve as General Luo's personal soldiers and protect General Luo's safety at all times. Otherwise , If something like this happens again, and something unexpected happens to General Luo, then I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to explain to the general, and I hope General Luo will not blame you, and don't refuse."

Luo Mao was silent for a moment.

After a while, Luo Mao said, "Okay, I'll take care of you. I, Luo Mao, am not an unreasonable person, and I won't embarrass General Geng."

Geng Zaicheng nodded: "General Luo, Brother Chang, and Brother Tang, how are you doing now?"

Luo Mao met Geng Zaicheng's gaze: "Stay still and wait for the opportunity."

Geng Zaicheng's eyes flashed, and he didn't ask any more questions: "Since General Luo is fine, then I won't bother General Luo. I will send someone to send the elite out of a hundred elites later."

Luo Mao replied: "General Geng, thank you Luo."

Geng Zaicheng nodded his head lightly, then led the people away in a hurry.

When Luo Mao thought of the situation of being assassinated just now, a trace of haze appeared in his eyes.

He was thinking, how many assassins did Tuotuo send, and were all these assassins targeting him?
Luo Mao didn't know about this.

After Luo Mao asked the servants of the mansion to tidy up the back room, he continued to sit in the lobby, but this time Luo Mao did not deal with the paperwork, but sat there, thinking about something in his mind.

In a blink of an eye, it was late at night.

Tang He and Chang Yuchun were staying in a large tent, they sat opposite each other, both kept silent, no one spoke, the atmosphere seemed a bit stagnant.

"Brother Tang, you said that General Luo gave us the order of 'everything is stopped. On September [-]rd, we can act according to plan' order, should we obey it? I am worried that things will change if it is too late. After all, there is such a chance. With the opportunity for war gone, I am afraid that if we attack Zhenjiang Road in the future, it will be thankless."

The corner of Tang He's mouth twitched when he heard this: "Chang Yuchun, are you going to die? You don't know the consequences of disobeying the military order? You will be beheaded! Besides, General Luo has his own considerations. There must be a reason for us to do this, all we have to do is obey orders. We don’t care about the rest.”

Chang Yuchun looked a little displeased: "Aren't I thinking about the Sizhou Army? Taking Zhenjiang Road will give us another piece of territory under the control of the Sizhou Army. Moreover, the advantage of taking Zhenjiang Road is that When the general is attacking Jinling City, we can still divert the attention of some Jinling City Yuan army defenders. Such a big benefit, I just let it go, and I feel a little unhappy in my heart."

Tang He glanced at Chang Yuchun: "Didn't you see that General Luo said that on September [-]rd, follow the schedule, why are you in a hurry? This Zhenjiang Road will be taken down sooner or later, but just wait a few more days. I have been waiting for several months, so why not wait a few more days?"

Chang Yuchun was silent, his eyes passed through the mountains and looked in the direction of Zhenjiang Road.
