The Assassin Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 119 The mysterious man in black

According to the Tao family's father and son, this Xuzhou had originally intended to trick Cao Cao into attacking.Chen Gui and Mi Zhu can take this opportunity to arrange Liu Bei to enter Xuzhou, and Zang Ba and Cao Bao can achieve the goal of occupying Qingzhou and Xuzhou.So their Tao family became victims, and Cao Cao was just a pawn.After Long Fei returned to the inn, he thought about the whole incident.I came to Xuzhou for one purpose, to find a way to defeat Cao Cao. Since the four major families have their own magic weapons, that means I don't have to worry about it myself.

On the second night, according to the agreement with Tao Ying, Long Fei led people quietly outside the back hall wall of the State Shepherd's Mansion.The news of Tao Qian's death was widely circulated in Pengcheng today.In order to show respect for Tao Qian, Chen Gui sent his son Chen Deng to organize Tao Qian's funeral in person, and built a mourning hall in the lobby of the state pastoral mansion. All civil and military personnel wore filial piety, and held a grand funeral for Tao Qian.

When Long Fei came, the lobby was still busy.Dian Wei looked around: "This boy Tao Ying must have forgotten it! Listen, it's so lively inside!"

Long Fei looked at the sky: "It's not up yet, so wait!"

Until the mid-day of the moon, the excitement in the front hall became much less.A few strange bird calls suddenly came from the yard, followed by a rope being thrown out.Same as last time, Dian Wei went first, there was nothing to do there, Long Fei came next.After climbing over the courtyard wall, Tao Ying was still wearing filial piety, followed by seven or eight men and women also wearing filial piety.

"That's all?" Long Fei asked.

Tao Ying nodded: "Just us! We don't want anything else!"

Long Fei patted Tao Ying's shoulder: "Very good! Let's go!"

Climbing over the wall is relatively easy for men, but it is extremely difficult for women.Long Fei took off the ropes and tied them around the waists of those women. He and Dian Wei climbed up the wall and pulled them up one by one, then let them down again.Finally, without alarming anyone, he escaped from the State Shepherd's Mansion.The carriage at the entrance of the alley is ready.Everyone got into the carriage, the driver whipped his whip, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

Chen Gui, Chen Deng, Mi Zhu, and Liu Bei who came from Pei County were all in the coffin. Although they all wanted to go back to sleep early, they could only hold on due to etiquette.Chen Deng moved his numb body a little, and looked around.Everything was so peaceful, the soldiers at the gate and the officials guarding the spirit were all there.He was about to close his eyes again when they suddenly opened them again.

The State Shepherd's Mansion was in a mess. The soldiers rummaged in and out, and finally found traces of climbing under the back wall. Chen Deng sent people to chase him, and reported to his father.At this time, the mourning hall became lively again, and everyone guessed where the Tao family had gone?Tao Qian was their husband and father, how could it be proper to just walk away without his father's corpse.

After listening to Chen Deng's report, Chen Gui winked at Mi Zhu and Liu Bei.The four quietly came to the side, and they were also very surprised when they heard that Tao Ying ran away with his family.Chen Gui said: "Don't make a fuss, according to the tradition, Tao Ying should be the successor to the prefectural pastor's position, and it's fine if he runs away now, and he can just elect Mr. Liu to take over!"

"That's great!" Mi Zhu answered hastily.

Chen Gongdao: "This Tao Ying knows a lot of things about Xuzhou. If it is made public, how should we deal with it! What I am most worried about now is that Tao Ying and Long Fei are united. Yesterday the innkeeper said that there is a The person wearing the bamboo hat has seen Long Fei, he looks like Tao Ying in terms of body shape!"

"Don't worry, there is nothing he can do about it now!" Chen Gui smiled: "In the past few months, Mi Zhizhong and I have had a red face and a white face just to prevent Long Fei from being able to perform. Tell Long Fei everything, even if he can't escape!"

"What does father mean?" Chen Deng was suddenly delighted.

Today is very strange, there is no wind, but the clouds are very thick. In the afternoon, there was a sudden gust of wind, which covered the clear sky with dark clouds, but it stopped at night.The pitch-black road surface is invisible.Long Fei led Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Chen Dao, Mi Fang, and Cao Jie, Mi Huan and Tao Ying's family members, and walked towards the west gate step by step.

At this time, the city gate has long been closed.Long Fei asked Tao Ying to go first, hoping that as his son, he could trick the city gate into opening.As soon as Tao Ying had a face-to-face meeting, the soldiers guarding the gate kicked him back.Tao Ying stood up helplessly: "The soldiers at the city gate all listen to Chen Gui, they don't listen to me at all!"

"If you don't open it, I will kill you!" Dian Wei said, and the two short halberds were already in his hands.

"Don't worry!" Long Fei said: "We are few people, it's best not to fight recklessly, it won't do us any good! Take care of your family members, Dian Wei and I will go and have a look!"

A gust of north wind blew, and the air suddenly became cold.The leaves on the trees rustled, and the dust on the ground was stirred up and scattered in all directions.A black shadow stood quietly at the gate of the city.The soldiers guarding the city had disappeared.This person was dressed in black, with a long sword hanging from his waist and a spear in his hand.The head is wrapped with a black cloth, leaving only a pair of eyes.It's too dark!It wasn't until he got closer that he saw this person clearly.Long Fei immediately stopped in his tracks, with a blood-red dagger in his hand.

"Is the person here General Long?" A deep voice asked coldly.Obviously, he deliberately changed his voice to prevent Long Fei from knowing his true identity.

"Who are you?" Dian Wei widened his eyes and blocked Long Fei.

Long Fei gently pushed Dian Wei away: "It's me! Dare you be...?"

"You don't need to know this, all you need to know is that I'm here to kill you!" Before he finished speaking, the man suddenly made a move, and the long spear stabbed directly at Long Fei's chest and abdomen.At the same time, a dozen or so black-clothed and masked figures emerged from the alleys on both sides of the street and behind the houses.Long Fei stepped sideways, dodging the knife.Dancing dagger melee attack.Dian Wei brandished his double halberds and fought with a dozen or so men in black who rushed forward.

The man in black is not weak in martial arts, and he is also considered a master in close combat. Although his weapon has grown, when Long Fei approached him, the man did not show any panic. The red daggers are fighting together.An inch is long and an inch is strong, and an inch is short and an inch is dangerous.The two sides took advantage of their weapons and killed seven or eight rounds.Long Fei saw the opportunity and stabbed the man's wrist with the dagger.The man flipped his wrist, blocked it with the gun barrel, and kicked it out.Long Fei turned his body to one side, turned his wrist, fished for the moon in the sea, and hooked the dagger on the man's arm.

"Stab!" With a sound, a piece of the man in black's sleeve was cut off.The man in black hurriedly pulled back, trying to distance himself from Long Fei.Long Fei didn't give him a chance at all, stepped forward again, and continued to stab the man in black's wrist, the same action as before.When the man in black wanted to block again with the barrel of his gun, he found that Long Fei's arm was already wrapped around his barrel, and the sharp blade of the dagger was already on his wrist. up.

"Who are you? Who sent you here?" Long Fei took the spear from the man in black, turned the spear and pointed it at him.

Dian Wei cleaned up the dozen or so assassins and came to Long Fei's side.The man in black didn't say a word, his eyes were full of righteousness, he didn't care about Long Fei's threat at all.Dian Wei threw the halberd blade on the shoulder of the man in black: "Say it quickly, don't say grandpa killed you!"

"Huh!" The man snorted coldly: "People don't fear death, why should they fear death! I am not good at learning, and I fall into your hands. If you want to kill me, you have to scrape and learn!"

These words sound familiar, as if I have heard them somewhere.Long Fei suddenly smiled: "Are you from Heibing? Did Mi Zhu or Chen Gui send you here?"

The man was startled, and looked at Long Fei warily.Long Fei slowly took out his dragon-shaped jade pendant from his bosom, and handed it to the man: "Look at this, and talk to me again!"

The man only glanced at it, but didn't reach out to pick it up.He knew this thing best, and opened his mouth wide: "The general is also...?"

Long Fei nodded: "Since we are all fellow travelers, I won't make things difficult for you! You can go!"

The man was taken aback.Long Fei didn't look at him again, put away his things, turned around and left.Dian Wei glared at the man fiercely, and put away his halberd: "Good luck to you, boy! Get out of here!"

Looking at Long Fei's back, the man said: "The general doesn't want to know my behind-the-scenes instructions?"

Long Fei didn't turn his head back, and waved at the man: "If you want to say it, you will naturally say it, I don't need to force you, you still have to think about how to go back and explain to your master!"

Although the call from Ximen's side wasn't earth-shattering, it could still spread far in this silent night.The strange thing is that none of the soldiers guarding the city or patrolling the streets came.Long Fei reassembled his carriage and drove towards the west gate.Dian Wei and Xu Chu opened the gate of the city to allow a carriage to pass through, and Long Fei and others crossed the moat and left Pengcheng.

They didn't dare to rest and rushed all night.If Chen Gui and Mi Zhu sent troops to chase after them, they would not be able to handle it at all.After running for a whole night, and about to arrive in Pei County, Chen Dao came to Long Fei's side: "General, someone is following you, do you want to...?"

"No, it's the man who blocked us at the west gate of Pengcheng! Let's see how long he will follow!"

Mi Fang was a county lieutenant in Pei County, so she is very familiar with the situation in Pei County.The few people didn't go into the city, they only sent Mi Fang to buy some food in the city, they left too fast yesterday, they didn't bring any food.There is still some distance to Jiugong Mountain in Peixian County, so I just take a rest for a while, and it won't be too late to go.According to Long Fei's guess, Mi Zhu and Chen Gui didn't send troops, if they sent people to chase them, they would have caught up with them long ago.

Mi Fang came back soon and distributed the food she got to everyone.Holding the three cakes, Long Fei shouted towards the wasteland behind: "Hey...! Come out and eat something? You haven't eaten all night!" He put the three cakes on a stone and returned them.

There was a commotion in the dry grass, and a figure appeared on the edge of the grass, reached out to pick up the bread on the stone, and ate it without saying a word.With a good heart, Chen Dao walked over with a water bag in hand and handed it to the man.The man was not polite, took the water bag, raised his head and drank.After resting for half an hour, everyone went on the road again. The man in black no longer hid this time, but followed them blatantly, neither approaching nor leaving.
