The Assassin Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 149 The Imperial Decree Is Lost

Lujiang belongs to the yamen, the drums and music are noisy, and the lights are decorated.All were dressed in their best clothes.Sun Ce's blue general's robe was extremely comfortable. I had worn this dress several times before, and each time I felt differently.Today is even more special.In a few more hours, he can wear it all day long and truly become the general of a big man.

I think of my father, Sun Jian, who spent his whole life running around, fighting south and north, and made such a great contribution to the great man. After the battle against Dong, Yuan Shao and others pretended to confer the title of Wu Chenghou, a general who broke the captives.However, he didn't do it for a few days, and died in Xiangyang.Sun Ce is different. He is not as stupid as Sun Jian. He doesn't want to work for some big man. Occupying the Jiangdong Tiger Watching the World is his goal. This general is just a stepping stone.It can be regarded as catching up with his father's prestige, which is why he attaches so much importance to it.

Seeing that the hour was approaching, everyone looked at the door anxiously, and most of the incense on the incense table in the courtyard had been burned.Sun Ce was a little anxious, looked around, and wanted to find someone to ask.On the left are Sun Quan and Cheng Pu. They looked calm and looked ahead, as if everything had nothing to do with them.On the right is Zhou Yu, also with a calm face, but there is a trace of melancholy between his brows.

Sun Ce didn't speak yet.Zhang Zhao hurried in from the door, and Sun Ce's face beamed with joy.Zhang Zhao was the envoy to welcome the imperial decree, and his presence meant that Long Fei was right behind.The musicians were about to play, but they saw Zhang Zhao hurried to Sun Ce's side and whispered something in his ear.Sun Ce's expression changed immediately, and he froze there, and everyone began to whisper to each other without knowing what happened.

"Boom!" Sun Ce kicked heavily on the incense table.Incense burners, candlesticks, and tablets symbolizing heaven and the emperor were thrown far away.Everyone was shocked. Seeing Sun Ce's gloomy and terrifying face, no one dared to speak: "Huh! How dare you do such a thing under my nose! Order the entire city to be under martial law! Anyone who is capable will be arrested and questioned." !"

Cheng Pu didn't move, but Sun Ce's eagle-like eyes immediately swept over.Sun Quan hurriedly cupped his hands: "Don't worry, brother, I'll do it right away!" He left the yamen with Cheng Pu.

Zhou Yu shook his head, and wanted to ask what happened, but Sun Ce turned around and took Zhang Zhao back to the back hall.Zhou Yu and a group of people were left in the courtyard, and everyone was at a loss as to whether to leave or stay.Zhou Yu sighed: "Find someone to clean up this place, let's go!"

Things should start this morning.Zhang Zhao came very early, Zhang Zhao arrived before Long Fei got up.Yi Cheng had no choice but to accompany Zhang Zhao to talk in the front hall and wait for Long Fei to wake up.Long Fei was very busy these two days, not only had to worry about whether Sun Ce's acceptance of the imperial decree was in compliance with the rules, but also beware of Sun Quan's disadvantages to him.The most important thing is to talk with the second and second Joe, to comfort the mood of the two beauties.

I go to bed very late every day, so I can hardly wake up in the morning.After Dian Wei urged him two or three times, Long Fei lazily got up, Da Qiao came in one after another carrying the wash water, and Xiao Qiao came in one after another carrying the breakfast.Long Fei's happiest moment is now, watching the two beauties tidying up his room while eating, the joy from his heart to his face, he really wants to go on like this.

Under the leadership of Yi Cheng, Zhang Zhao entered Long Fei's room, saw that Long Fei had just gotten up, and there were two women tidying up the bed, he laughed, "General Long is so comfortable! The spring breeze is boundless with beauties! Hehehe... "

Da Qiao blushed with embarrassment and hurriedly dragged her sister and ran out.Long Fei was a little disappointed, and sighed: "Master Zhang is gone!"

Zhang Zhao said with a smile: "If the relationship lasts for a long time, why should we care about this moment? It's more important. Today is the time when my lord accepts the appointment. I can only wait for the general early. I hope the general will not be offended!"

"Oh!" Only then did Long Fei remember that today was the day to read the imperial decree, and he finished the porridge in the bowl in two or three mouthfuls: "I almost forgot, yes, let's do the business first!" He hurriedly called Dian Wei to come in and let him go to Guo Guo. Jia took the imperial decree and prepared to leave.

Dian Wei had been gone for a long time, and came running in a hurry, his eyes widened: "Boss, it's broken, the imperial decree is gone!"

Everyone in the room was taken aback.Zhang Zhao looked at Dian Wei and then at Long Fei: "General, this is not a joke!"

Long Fei was also a little surprised, Guo Jia always liked to play pranks, but this matter should not happen, so he quickly asked: "Really?"

Dian Wei nodded hastily: "Xiao Guozi said that the imperial decree was already in his baggage, but it was not there when we found it just now, Xiao Guozi must have been stolen."

A few people were really anxious.Hurriedly came to Guo Jia's room, Guo Jia was still searching through boxes and cabinets, the room was in a mess.Long Fei looked around, he could clearly see the bamboo slips, clothes and other useful things on the ground, except for the yellow cloth bag.The imperial decree is easy to recognize, it is yellow in itself, and it is packed in a yellow cloth bag, which is very eye-catching among the pile of gray.

"Feng Xiao, haven't you found it yet?"

Guo Jia got up and saluted: "I saw it last night, but I couldn't find it this morning, and I couldn't lose it. Most likely, someone sneaked into my room last night and stole it."

Yicheng was so frightened that his legs were trembling, and the imperial decree was stolen in his place. He was going to be beheaded, and he spoke in a confused way: "How is it possible? Normally, normally, no one will come! This, this, this, how is it?" good!"

Zhang Zhao had no choice but to rub his hands back and forth: "Go find someone, let's look together, maybe it's somewhere!"

The entire post house was in a state of chaos, all the personnel were summoned, and everyone searched around Guo Jia's house.They even found a few embroidery steel needles, but nothing as big as the imperial decree.Long Fei thought for a moment, then roared: "Don't look for them, they're all waiting outside, I want to ask questions one by one!"

In Guo Jia's room, Long Fei called everyone in the post house one by one, and carefully asked them what they did last night.Start with Yi Cheng, then the servants in the hall who are responsible for cleaning the rooms, even the gardener and the cook have asked all of them, but there is still no clue.Long Fei looked at Guo Jia again: "Do you remember where the imperial decree was placed last night?"

"It's right next to my pillow! I knew it was useful today, so I checked it out before I fell asleep! If someone comes in, I should know, but there is no movement at all. If it is stolen, the person who came must be a master!" Guo Jia carefully Thinking back, I don't let anyone suspicious go away: "Except for Da Laohei, no one came here before I went to bed last night!"

Long Fei asked Yi Cheng again: "Are all the people in the post house there?"

Yi Cheng hurriedly looked back: "Yes! They are all here! Uh?"

"what happened?"

"Why isn't old Zhang who picks shit here?"

The cities of the ancients did not have sewers extending in all directions as they are today. Many times, the garbage in a city has to be carried out bit by bit, and the excrement is no exception. There are special people in charge of handling it, otherwise the whole city will be smelly in a short time Smoked.Yi Cheng quickly asked: "Where's Lao Zhang? Isn't he always here in the morning? What's the matter today?"

Zhang Zhao immediately understood what Long Fei meant.Although the post house is not an important place, people come and go frequently.It would not be difficult for someone to steal other things from it, but the imperial decree Long Fei and others paid more attention to it. A few days ago, extra soldiers were specially sent outside the post to protect the safety of Long Fei and the others, making it difficult for ordinary people to enter.It is most likely done by insiders for something so silent.

"Do you know where Lao Zhang lives?"

Yi Cheng nodded quickly.Everyone followed Yicheng to Lao Zhang's room in a hurry. The door was closed and everything looked as usual from the outside. After Yicheng called for a long time, no one responded.Long Fei gave Dian Wei a wink, Dian Wei pushed aside Yi Cheng, and kicked open the door.The situation in the room shocked everyone, Lao Zhang was lying on the ground, a large pool of blood under his body had turned dark brown.A dagger was stuck in the heart.A yellow cloth bag on Lao Zhang's right hand is particularly conspicuous.

"This is the bag, which is used to hold the imperial decree!" Guo Jia recognized the yellow cloth bag at a glance, and hurried forward to touch it.No matter what you say, you understand that the inside is empty, and the imperial decree has long since disappeared.

Long Fei looked around to see that the doors and windows were tightly closed, the bed was flat and smooth, there were two tea bowls on the table against the wall, and an oil lamp had burned dry and even the wick was burned out.Dian Wei pulled out the dagger from Lao Zhang's chest, looked over and over, and saw Long Fei reach out and hand it over in a hurry.A dagger is an ordinary dagger, not so much a dagger, but a short knife, the kind of short knife that soldiers carry with them.It must have been used for a long time, and the handle has obvious signs of wear.

Long Fei turned the dagger upside down, and at a glance he saw a strange symbol at the place where the front part of the hilt was connected to the blade.Long Fei showed it to Guo Jia and Zhang Zhao. After reading it for a long time, Zhang Zhao thought deeply: "This is like a word. If I guessed correctly, this word reads virtue. During the Yin and Shang Dynasties, the royal family used it for divination on tortoise shells and the like. Words are written on things. This character is the German character written on the tortoise shell during the Yin and Shang Dynasties. The turns at the four corners indicate four-way avenues, and the human-like shape in the middle means no twists and turns. A man of virtue."

The writing on the tortoise shell that Zhang Zhao mentioned, Long Fei guessed it was oracle bone inscriptions. Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhao still had such a hand. If it is put into the present, it will definitely be regarded as a master national treasure. "De! How many people in Lujiang City have the word De in their names?" Long Fei asked.

Zhang Zhao shook his head: "There is no way to check it. We have just occupied Lujiang, and all the household registrations have not been registered yet, so we can't find it at all! However, this dagger should belong to the barracks. I will ask General Cheng Pu, maybe he can find it." any idea!"

Speaking of Cheng Pu, Long Fei's heart skipped a beat.But he didn't say anything, and handed the dagger to Zhang Zhao, asking him to ask as soon as possible, and if he got anything, he would return it immediately. The biggest thing now is to find the imperial decree. Without this imperial decree, even if Sun Ce became a general, it would not be so justifiable.Zhang Zhao didn't dare to neglect, and left in a hurry.As soon as Zhang Zhao left, Long Fei and Guo Jia looked at each other.

Guo Jiadao: "It seems that he did it! This Sun Quan is better than Sun Ceqi in every way. It seems that this Jiangdong will change hands soon!"
