Three Kingdoms: I don’t want to fall in love in troubled times

Chapter 172 Everything Is Fake
Very good at playing?
Xun You couldn't help but be stunned, wondering what Zi Mao meant when he suddenly said this - after all, what an ordinary man can do is extremely limited.

If the problem can be solved by fighting, why do we need the government?
"Uh, how capable is he of fighting?"

In order not to dampen Zi Mao's enthusiasm, he still tried to ask.

"Immediate warriors are no match for me," Xu Jiashu replied confidently. After thinking for a while, he added, "And the more chaotic the fight, the more comfortable you will be."

If it were a fair fight, there would be quite a few people who were physically stronger than him. But after all, a life-and-death fight in the real world is not about planting flags in an online game. Once the situation becomes complicated and countless factors interfere with each other, it will enter. It’s a realm of experience and intuition, and [Wushuang] was simply born for this situation.

It is because of this terrifying ability that Lu Bu has widened the gap in class between him and other powerful generals of his generation, so much so that it makes people think that it is normal for this guy to be beaten by a crowd. It is really too perverted.

"Regardless of whether there is such a skill in the world," Xun You tilted his head and glanced at him, a little confused, "Zimao really wants to put himself in danger for a mere singer?"

After all, it wasn't like he had never eaten or seen anything before. It was really hard for him to imagine why Zi Mao would do this - as for that?

"I have decided to do this," Xu Jiashu said with an expression that said, "A man's life is for taking risks." "Brother Gongda, don't say any more!"

"In that case," Xun Gongda glanced at Wang Yun, who thought he had everything under control, and whispered, "then Brother Yu will help a bunch of Zi Mao."

The text description appears again.

[Two days later, Wang Yun invited Niu Fu to his house as a guest, intending to make Diao Chan appear. 】

Zhangtai Street.

Niu Fu was riding on the road, surrounded by dozens of fully armed guards. Wherever he went, pedestrians retreated, and the scene was quite grand.

Although the day was a bit special, for General Niu Fu, he regarded this trip as just a routine social interaction. As the "one of his own" who defected to the Grand Master before he was alive, Wang Situ always got along well with the senior officials of the Xiliang Army. , it is not unusual to welcome and send off.

In other words, he didn't know what kind of surprise Wang Situ had prepared for him. He was thinking about going to Dong Min's house later to visit relatives. This was the most important activity during the entire twelfth lunar month.

Speaking of which, Niu Fu, a Xiliang warrior with mediocre abilities, was fortunate enough to reach his current position and become the de facto commander of tens of thousands of proud soldiers of the Xiliang Army. But only one word of loyalty is firmly occupied.

Don't underestimate the word "loyalty". Many people don't know what their last name is when they are successful. They mistake their platform for their ability, and regard others' praise as their own ability.

The premise of loyalty is self-knowledge. People who have been forged in the world often have this kind of self-knowledge. They are willing to bow their heads and act as other people's tools in a resigned attitude, so as to attach themselves to others and find their own value.

For Niu Fu, his value is to secure military power for his father-in-law Dong Zhuo. With him around for a day, to put it bluntly, even if Dong Zhuo becomes white, the Xiliang army will still be his ironclad base.

After Dong Zhuo's death, Niu Fu still played the role of a tool conscientiously. Although he had the power to overturn the status quo, he still served Dong Min loyally. This was also the reason why Li Ru did not touch his brother-in-law - he did not dare to change the status quo rashly. On the one hand, it's more that Niu Fu's loyalty is impeccable, and someone else might not be as reassuring as him.

The cavalry suddenly stopped. Through the gap in the crowd, Niu Fu saw a small group of homeless people occupying half of the road. He didn't know what they were doing around them, and he couldn't help but look unhappy.The inner city of Chang'an has been around for a long time, and now the streets are even narrower and cramped. After these people occupy the roads, the guards like him can only squeeze through.

"The general of the imperial court is here, please get out of the way quickly!"

The guard shouted and saw that the people on the road were unmoved, so he went over to inquire - since Li Ru ordered all charity houses inside and outside Chang'an to close down, except for the servants raised by the rich in the manor, there are organized The civilians gradually disappeared, so the guards composed of these elite soldiers were not too alert.

"General," the guard quickly reported, "someone is distributing winter clothing to the civilians, so they all gathered together and couldn't drive them away."

For the people at the bottom, having a piece of winter clothing will make them more likely to survive the winter. Compared with this benefit, a beating is nothing, not to mention that even the so-called imperial court The general really wants to drive people away with a knife. As long as I run faster than others, disaster will always be one step behind me!
civilian?

When did so many civilians appear in the inner city?Also, who has the leisure to donate clothes?
"What does the captain of the city gate do for food?" Niu Fu cursed in a low voice. Thinking of having to rush to visit relatives after going to Wang Yun's house, he impatiently ordered the guard, "Ignore them and pass quickly."

Big holiday.jpg
The guards who were originally in an expanded formation formed a long snake formation and began to pass through the other half of the road one after another. Niu Fu was still in the middle. When the two teams filled the road, a sudden change occurred!

The stall that was said to be distributing clothes suddenly rose into the sky, and clothes were falling on everyone's heads. Those who had received it and those who had not received it all raised their heads, pushed the people around them, and squeezed towards the goal - to grab one more piece. Clothes are just one more person in the family!

Faced with the commotion that was so close at hand, the guard immediately drew his sword and shouted: "Whoever collides with the general's car will die!" Then he quickly turned his head behind him to look for traces of Niu Fu.

This is not good - everyone knows that his general is a good-for-nothing, but although he is cowardly and timid, he is actually a military man who has been in the army for more than ten years and is a real warrior. He is used to riding a horse when traveling, instead of imitating others to ride in a car. , but at this time, he was drowned in the crowd of people, and he could not be found for a while.

At first, Ushisuke just felt that the movement of his mount became sluggish, as if it was stuck in quicksand or quagmire, and he struggled to urge the good horse under his crotch to leave this place of right and wrong.

"drive!"

He was so angry that he slapped the horse's head several times, but there was no room to accelerate, and no matter how good the horse was, it couldn't take off on the same spot - it was not Lu. Niu Fu drew out his sword when he saw this, and the snow-white blade was even more obvious in the cold winter. The freezing coldness also made the civilians around who were busy looting sober up a lot, and they all stayed away from him.

This was not bad, Niu Fu felt that the resistance had been reduced a lot, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If he really wanted to be unparalleled in the crowd, he really didn't have the guts. If someone with a fear of death was aroused and he was dragged off his horse in the chaos, it would be hard to say what would happen.

Xu Jiashu silently calculated the distance in his heart.

Twenty steps.
ten steps
five steps
Most of these civilians were helped by Sun Zi, and they were the most lacking of food and clothing in Chang'an City. Yesterday, every household in the city held a steaming ceremony, and the defense was quite lax. Xun You designed and transported them into the inner city. Just hand out clothes along the way and wait for Niu Fu to appear before causing chaos.

Five steps later, the crowd intimidated by Ushisuke's sword formed a small vacuum around him, just suitable for him to run.

In order not to be recognized, Xu Jiashu wore tight clothes and could not carry a long weapon, so he hid a nail-shaped iron block in his sleeve, or you can also call it.
Hidden blade!

He blended into the crowd and finally used cover to get behind Ushifu. He held the Hidden Blade tightly in his right hand. The cold winter iron stung his palms as if they were red-hot. His thoughts were clear under the pain.

My heart and my actions are as clear as a mirror, and everything I do is justice!
The [Wushuang] on the panel radiated light. Xu Jiashu stepped forward, jumped up high, put his left arm around Niu Fu's neck from behind, and covered his mouth with his palm. The hidden sword in his other hand had no trace. He followed up hesitantly and violently penetrated the throat, one of the countless weak points in the human body.

The guards in the distance screamed in surprise, and their eyes were about to burst; the crowd around them hurried away in panic, knocking over the clay pots used by roadside merchants to collect rainwater, making a crisp cracking sound; listen carefully, and there seemed to be wild geese flying by in the distance. The geese screamed, and underneath the flock of wild geese were passers-by who didn't know what was going on, holding their clothes and thinking about going home.
At this moment, all disturbing factors turned into meaningless backgrounds. In the chaotic scene, Xu Jiashu clearly felt the movement of every part of his body - the strength and position were all just right, just to deliver the hidden sword in his hand. The place to be.

"Well--"

Niu Fu, whose mouth was covered, subconsciously let out a muffled snort with his nose. From the corner of his eye, he quickly spotted a piece of roughly polished iron. Warm blood flowed down the irregular edges and fell on the armor. On the horse's back, there were blue stones. On the road, radiating red dots splashed, like blossoming plum blossoms blooming proudly.

It hurts!

He wanted to shout loudly, but his broken throat could only make a hoarse sound - soon, the iron block was pulled out.

"Guru~"

The blood mixed with the remaining air in the trachea, with dense and terrifying bubbles, exposed to the broad daylight.

Niu Fu fell into hypoxia, and his mind went blank. He didn't even have time to have residual thoughts. Driven by instinct, he turned his head to see who took his life.

With this turn, the protruding cartilage of Adam's apple was exposed. He lost the strength to support his body and fell heavily to the ground.

He raised his head and saw the restless hooves of his mount - right next to his head. He saw the gloomy sky, the backs of the geese, and finally a face blocked by the collar.

Xu Jiashu was wearing the same clothes as those distributed to civilians. The only difference was that the collar was very large, and he could hide his face by lifting it up.

He reached out and wiped the still warm blood on Niu Fu's body.

[According to your ability, Xun You planned a murder in broad daylight. No one knew who the murderer was, but the result was that Niu Fu, the actual leader of the Xiliang Army, died on the street]
