The Assassin Empire of the Three Kingdoms

When they returned to the post house with Qiao Xuan's body and the two daughters, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, Sun Ce, Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, and Cheng Pu were all there, and there were [-] heavily armed soldiers outside the post house.Long Fei ignored these people at all, and walked straight back to his room, settled Qiao Xuan and the second female dragon, flew to the main seat, closed his eyes and bowed his head in thought.

Guo Jia and Dian Wei pushed the door open and entered.Long Fei suddenly raised his head and looked at the two of them.Guo Jia shook his head slightly: "These people are very professional, and they don't have any tokens to prove their identities."

"General Sun asks to see General Long!" Outside the door, the people in the post house shouted loudly.Long Fei still ignored it, pondered for a moment, suddenly wanted to understand something, and immediately asked: "Is there no token of Heibing?"

Guo Jia still shook his head: "According to Hei Bing's behavior, they will wear the dragon pattern jade on their bodies whenever they go out. Also, this group of people's behavior is different from Hei Bing's. If Hei Bing wants to assassinate, he will usually send One or two people, the goal is very clear, if things fail, they will never get too entangled, from the time we set off to Qiao's mansion, there should have been fighting for a long time, judging from the attack methods of these people, it's not like black ice, it's more like The way the army does."

"Army? You mean people from Jiangdong did it?" Long Fei boldly guessed, "On the ground of Lujiang, only Jiangdong has an army."

"That's not necessarily true. There are only thirty or so assassins. It's entirely possible that some other people sent assassins in an organized way, and then gathered together to attack!" Guo Jia also didn't understand: "According to the old captain Qiao Style, even if offending people are those important officials in the court in the past, and now no one in the world has any contact with the old captain Qiao, I really don't understand, who is so vicious, who will do this to the old captain Qiao!"

"General Sun begging to see General Long!" Outside the door, the people from the post house continued to shout loudly.Long Fei was a little upset: "Dian Wei, go and get rid of him!"

"Slow!" Guo Jia quickly stopped: "If my lord has any doubts about Sun Ce, why not invite them in and talk about it, maybe they know something."

After Sun Ce brought Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, and Cheng Pu in, Long Fei kept observing them.Sun Ce had a dark face, his face was serious and he didn't say a word.Zhou Yu seemed a little distressed, but he didn't say anything.Cheng Pu still stood behind Sun Quan like a personal guard, calm and calm.Only Sun Quan looked dignified and sighed: "Hey! It's really surprising that this happened. I don't know if General Long has found out who did this to the old Taiwei! If you want me to know, I will behead him to comfort the old man." The spirit of the Taiwei in heaven!"

Long Fei motioned for a few people to sit down.He also sighed: "Those assassins are very professional and did not leave any information, but I already have some clues, maybe there will be news tomorrow!"

"Oh!" Sun Quan nodded again and again: "The general can inform me when the time comes, my elder brother will definitely send heavy troops to assist the general!"

When Long Fei was talking, Guo Jia had been paying attention to everyone's changes.Hearing Long Fei said that he had an idea, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu all hurriedly raised their heads, waiting for Long Fei's result.Sun Quan didn't change at all, his face remained unmoved as usual.Only Cheng Pu took a deep breath, and a trace of anxiety leaked from his eyes.Guo Jia sat up straight, gently shaking her feather fan with a smile on her face.

Long Fei also noticed Cheng Pu's inadvertent behavior.When I was a soldier, during the interrogation subjects, the instructor specially introduced the unnatural behavior that people showed at certain times.These are to prove whether the interrogator has guessed the other party's psychology.Cheng Pu took a deep breath just now, in the eyes of others, it didn't seem to be a big deal, but in Long Fei's view, it was because his heart was weak, his muscles and nerves were highly tense, and he needed a lot of oxygen, so he took a deep breath to relieve his inner pressure.

Sun Ce agreed to set up a coffin shed for Qiao Xuan in this post house tomorrow, send out an obituary to the princes of the world, and hold a grand funeral for Qiao Xuan under the pretext of Qiao Xuan's death from illness.At the same time, Long Fei immediately wrote to the court to explain the situation, hoping that the emperor would send envoys to express his condolences.The various details of the funeral were discussed one by one.Almost to the specifications of Wang.

After daybreak, Sun Ce's people entered the post house and began to decorate.The entire Lujiang River was immersed in a sad song. Qiao Xuan was a clean and honest official, and he was a representative of a good official both in the officialdom and in the hearts of ordinary people.From the day the people in Lujiang City built the spirit shed, people came to pay their respects one after another. Even if they kowtow to the head or offer a stick of incense, it is a little thought from the people.Long Fei told the guards at the door to leave and not to stop them.

Guo Jia forcibly called Long Fei away from Da Qiao, who was comforting Da Qiao, and came to Long Fei's room, and asked Xu Chu and Dian Wei to guard outside the door to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.Only then did I pour myself a glass of water, and drank it in a gulp: "It has been found out that the assassins who committed crimes in Qiao's mansion that night were none other than Cheng Pu's subordinates, who were the first to enter the camp. They were ordered to bloodbath Qiao's mansion." .”

"Cheng Pu? Why did he kill Captain Qiao?"

"I don't know about this!" Guo Jia shook his head: "I don't think it's that simple. This Cheng Pu followed Sun Jian when he was in Sun Jian, and has always been loyal to the Sun family. If Cheng Pu sent someone to do it, he should have a close relationship with the Sun family. Great relationship!"

Long Fei frowned: "Isn't that justifiable? Since Sun Ce wanted to marry the second daughter of the Qiao family, the old captain Qiao refused many times, so he didn't want to kill anyone. If he killed the old captain Qiao, he would never have the chance to get the second daughter of the Qiao family." Is it a girl?"

"I also think this is strange!" Guo Jia said again: "We also investigated Cheng Pu's origin. He was from Youbeiping Tuyin. He was an official in the county in the early years, and later he followed Sun Jian. Conquering the Northern War, he made great achievements for the Sun family, and has never left the Sun family's team. He has nothing to do with Hei Bing and those things. Chen Dao also checked the situation of Hei Bing. There is only one Hei Bing inn in Lujiang City. Recently, no members have checked in!"

The two fell into deep thought.According to the little news from Guo Jia, this Cheng Pu and Qiao Xuan had nothing to do with each other at all, but they sent dead men to kill Qiao Xuan's family, what a deep hatred.Long Fei still felt that there was a problem there, a good one would never make it like this, what is the key?I seem to have grasped it, but I still can't figure it out.

"Continue to investigate, check what Chengpu's relatives, friends, and who he is with are talking about! Even the [-]th generation of his ancestors have to check for me!"

Qiao Xuan's coffin stayed in the post house for a full eighteen days. Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Yuan Shu of Yangzhou, Liu Bei of Xuzhou, Cao Cao of Yanzhou, these nearby princes sent people to express their condolences, even Yuan Shao also sent people to come, only Yizhou Liu Zhang, Liu Yu of Youzhou, Li Jue of Yongzhou, Ma Teng and Han Sui of Liangzhou did not make any movement.Emperor Xian Liu Xie sent Taifu Ma Ridan to come with a plaque written by himself as "Famous Officials of the Great Han Dynasty".

Ma Ridan and Qiao Xuan also had friendship as colleagues.I think that when Ma Ridan first entered the court, Qiao Xuan was the captain of Luoyang, and Ma Ridan took Qiao Xuan as his role model in many things.In Ma Ridan's heart, Qiao Xuan was like his teacher, who made himself a qualified official of the Han Dynasty in terms of character.The funeral was presided over by Ma Ridan, and all the envoys who came to express their condolences offered incense to Qiao Xuan's coffin one by one.When it was Long Fei's turn, Ma Ridan nodded slightly at Long Fei, as if to praise him.The eulogy was written by Yuan Shao's envoy Chen Lin under the recommendation of everyone.During this period, he highly affirmed the life of the old Taiwei Qiao, and praised the old Taiwei as a model official and a rare famous minister in the world.Combine Qiao Xuan with Xiao He, the founding hero, and Huo Guang, who assisted the young emperor.It can be regarded as a perfect end to Qiao Xuan's life.

Long Fei did not attend the banquet held by Sun Ce for the envoys.In his heart, he has been thinking about Da Qiao, who has not improved yet.After Qiao Xuan passed away, Da Qiao's body immediately collapsed, described as thin, with a sad face, and Xiao Qiao took care of her sister every step of the way.Overnight, the two mischievous girls of the Qiao family suddenly matured.

Guo Jia stopped Long Fei at the door.Long Fei knew there must be something new, so he had to follow Guo Jia back to his room.In order to find out the truth of the matter, Guo Jia and Chen Dao racked their brains and spent a lot of money in the past ten days to collect information from various places.Even sent people to buy a lot from the black ice.After several days and nights of analysis, Guo Jia finally understood the key.

"Who are you talking about?" At first hearing, Long Fei couldn't believe it: "How could it be him? He is so vicious at such a young age. Besides, Cheng Pu is Sun Ce's subordinate, how could he listen to him?"

Guo Jiadao: "The world is ever-changing, and he is the only one among these people that I will not be able to see through for a while. If this person becomes the Lord of Jiangdong, with his great talents and methods, I believe he must be much stronger than the current Sun Ce."

"But why did he do this? If Sun Ce marries the two girls, Qiao Xuan will be Jiang Dong's helper, and it won't do him any harm!"

Guo Jia shook his head: "If Sun Ce goes to the second daughter of the Qiao family, with the help of Qiao Xuan, he will gain a firm foothold in Jiangdong. With Sun Ce's arrogance and obedience to the army and the people, he will never have a bright future! A person like him will not live for long. My lord, if you want to succeed Sun Ce, you have to completely destroy Sun Ce's cornerstone, and when he is in charge of Jiangdong, you can gather people's hearts and create a great cause!"

"Oh! I really didn't expect that this Jiangdong has just started, and someone is already thinking about it!" Long Fei scratched his head and snorted coldly: "Okay! I want to see what he will do next? Cheng Pu alone, I am afraid it will be difficult To accomplish his plan, everyone in Jiangdong is either an old minister who followed Sun Jian or a confidant Sun Ce cultivated over the years, and it will take a lot of effort to wrest power in Jiangdong from Sun Ce."

"I'm afraid this person is more thoughtful than the lord! Maybe half of Jiangdong has already fallen into his hands, but Sun Ce didn't find out!" Guo Jia smiled slightly: "This person has already started to attack, if Sun Ce is named a general , it will be even more detrimental to him, my lord should now consider whether or not to continue reading this imperial decree, we'd better be on guard against this man's means."

Long Fei nodded: "Let Chen Dao notify Wancheng immediately and send someone to respond in case there is any change!"
