The Assassin Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Three days later, a large group of merchants suddenly wanted to enter the boundary of Wancheng from Yiyang, and the goods they sold were all high-quality leather goods.Just in front of the checkpoint, the person walking in front stopped for a while, then put on a smiling face, and handed over a handful of copper coins: "Officer, we are in business, please make it easy for us, let us go first." Is it over?"

The captain hastily withdrew his hand, looked him up and down a few times, he was thick and muscular, and his bronze skin didn't look like a businessman: "Where did you come from?"

"We are from Jiuyuan!"

"Jiuyuan! It's quite far away! What is being trafficked?"

"Fur goods are all leather goods. Leather goods for clothes and hats are warm on the body. They are all high-quality leather goods!" The man described his fur goods vividly, and copied one to give to the captain.

The captain took a look and touched it with his hand. They were indeed high-quality leather goods, neatly stacked one by one, and there were five carts in total.The man thought that the captain was interested in something, and when he got to the back of the car, where no one could see him, he suddenly took out a piece of gold and stuffed it into the captain's hand: "Master, we are all responsible people, and doing business is not easy, you see ...!"

The captain chuckled: "Okay! It's easy to say! Brothers, take them all for me!"

"Master Jun! This is you!" Although the man was panicked on his face, there was no trace of fear in his eyes.Some other guys immediately gathered around the man, forming a circular defense line.

The captain chuckled: "Hey! The cooperation is quite tacit! To tell you the truth, I have long seen that you are not some kind of businessman? Selling fur goods, do we still need fur goods in the weather here? How can this kind of rhetoric lie to a three-year-old child? Tell me quickly , what on earth are you guys doing?"

The soldiers are always ready to attack.Seeing that the matter was brought to light, the man looked at the soldiers around him.This place is the handover of Jingzhou and Sizhou, one side belongs to Cao Cao, the other side belongs to Longfei, it is the main road leading to Jingzhou, Wenpin has arranged hundreds of soldiers here.And that man only had 20 people under his command, and the superiority in numbers made that group of people a little afraid.

The man glanced at the surrounding soldiers, and suddenly rushed towards the captain.The captain hurriedly used the shield to block, the man's strength was so great, he smashed on the shield in a circle, and even knocked the captain back three steps.Others also rushed up together, fighting with the soldiers.Although these people are all good fighters, they are bare-handed, and they are somewhat overwhelmed by soldiers several times their own.

As soon as the whistle sounded, those people immediately rushed towards the north, saw the opportunity to open a gap, rushed out of the encirclement of the soldiers, dropped a few corpses and fled in a hurry.The captain exhaled, looked around, and saw that many of his own people were injured, and while arranging for someone to treat the wounded, he sent someone to report to Wancheng.

Wenpin also frowned when he received the report.Although there have been such situations before, most of them will be captured, and after interrogation, they are basically the secret work sent by Cao Cao.But this time it seemed to be a little different. This group of people was very skilled, even if they were killed and retreated, no one was left behind.

After reading the battle report, Lu Xun frowned: "General, this matter is strange. If Cao Jun worked carefully, he would never use this method. They know how to enter Jingzhou smoothly. This group of people should have different goals!"

Wenpin nodded: "Anyway, we still need to send more people to the border. From today onwards, strict investigations will be carried out. As long as there are suspicious people, we will deal with them first!"

Not only did this happen in Yiyang, but also nearby Xiangcheng, Xiacai, and even Gushi and Dingcheng in Yuzhou, which border Cao Cao, also found unidentified people intruding one after another. All the incidents were gathered and reported to Xiangyang. .Xu Shu, the intelligence chief of Jingzhou, was the first to guess the key.

Xu Shu said: "Those who want to infiltrate Jingzhou from different directions on such a large scale, and who do not understand the situation in Jingzhou at all, are definitely not Cao Cao or Sun Quan, and they will not go to Jiangzhou or Shangyong. It's someone else!"

"Who? You can't explain clearly, kid? I'm upset!" Dian Wei had already closed his ears, but he didn't hear Xu Shu say anything.

Long Fei frowned: "Yuan Zhi means..."

Xu Shu nodded: "In Yizhou, Xian Yufu and the others beheaded Liu Bei's general Tai Shici. You must know that Zhuge Liang is the one who actually controls Liu Bei's army. Tai Shici is the number one general under Zhuge Liang's command. Killing him will undoubtedly hurt Zhuge Liang. The threat is huge, and based on what I know about Black Ice, they will never let it go, and this time may be a precursor to their revenge!"

"How to retaliate?" Xun Yu and Jia Xu asked quickly.

Pang Tong sighed slightly: "To be able to have such a scale and organize so many people to act at the same time is definitely not something that Zhuge Liang can mobilize. It should be the most powerful mysterious organization under Hei Bing's command, Xuanwutang. This Xuanwutang specializes in assassinations. , Assassination, the general must pay more attention, and must not act alone!"

"I'm here, so don't be afraid! What Xuanwu hall? Come and kill the other with one halberd, come with a pair of two halberds!" Dian Wei whirled his iron halberds, not paying attention to his opponent at all.

Pang Tong looked at them and shook his head slightly: "I'm afraid that General Dian has already got his way before he saw their figures. This group of people are cruel and ruthless, and they don't care about trivial matters. What methods are vicious and what tricks are used, the general should be more careful!"

"Brother Shi Yuan is right! My lord, be careful!" Xu Shu also said, "I've also heard that they are Heibing's assassination team, and they are not inferior to Xian Yufu's! The number is unknown, and after so many years of training There must be many, and these people are all professional assassins, even the children on the street may be their subordinates!"

The atmosphere in the subordinate yamen was extremely tense, and everyone lowered their heads in thought, trying to find a good way to completely resolve the current crisis, but there seemed to be no good way.Long Fei chuckled: "There's nothing to be afraid of. They're human beings. Soldiers come to cover them with water and soil. You don't have to worry. What to do. Don't cause panic among the people. That's the worst thing for us!"

On a small table near the window on the second floor of Jufeng Building in Xiangyang, a young man in a navy blue robe was drinking.He was the only one on the huge second floor, and the spacious living room seemed a little deserted.The waiter in the shop put the carp he had just caught in Xiangshui in front of the young man: "Guest officer, this is the fish you asked for, and you just caught it. How do you want to eat it?"

The young man nodded: "Sure enough, it's a good fish. It's much fatter and tender than the Yellow River carp! I heard that you have a new way of eating here. I want to try it. Is it possible?"

Xiaoer nodded quickly when he heard that: "Come on! Just wait a moment, I'll let the kitchen make it for you!"

The young man waved his hand and called the boy back who had turned around, and took out an ingot of gold from his cuff and put it on the faces: "Let the master who makes the fish come up, and I will watch and do it. Eating fish is naturally a beautiful thing." , it shouldn’t be too bad to be a fish!”

"The guest officer is indeed a person who knows the goods, just wait a moment!" Xiaoer quickly grabbed the gold on the table in his hand, put the fish away and went downstairs to find someone.

Not long enough, Xiaoer took a thin cook up to the second floor.Although this cook is not tall, his feet are extremely steady, and he walks cleanly, every step is as quick and fast as if he has taken root.Xiaoer introduced: "Guest officer, this is the best cook in our small shop, Master Zhang! He retired from the navy. He used to be the chef on the Flying Dragon, and he was personally taught by the general!"

"Oh?" The young man nodded to the cook.The cook also returned the courtesy slightly.Someone carried a chopping board and placed it not far from the young man.On the chopping board came a basin of clear water, a knife that was broken in two, and nothing else.The young man seemed a little curious, looked at the broken knife and asked, "Is this your kitchen knife?"

The cook smiled slightly: "Yes! When I was in the South China Sea, I fought a battle with monkeys there. My saber was chopped off. I brought it back as a souvenir! Sir, please sit down, I'm about to start!"

The cook skillfully stretched out his hand to pick up the carp on the chopping board next to it, and removed the scales in two or three strokes. All the movements were not muddled, and each knife was extremely precise. It could remove the scales without hurting the fish, and only saw pieces The fish scales flew up and down around the broken knife, but none of them fell out of the chopping board.

The carp without scales has passed in clean water, and it is as clean as new from top to bottom.With a light swipe of the knife, the cook inserted the blade into the belly of the fish, picked it up, and the internal organs of the fish were picked out.Immediately afterwards, the wrist was turned outward, the broken knife was laid flat, and the carp slices were sliced ​​into thin slices, and neatly stacked among the dishes.

All this is done in just a few minutes.After the cook cleaned the fillets of the whole big carp and put the fish in the water, the carp with only the skeleton still swam freely, and it didn't realize that there was only a skeleton left on its body.Xiao Er brought the fish fillet in front of the young man, and put some condiments such as bitter wine and minced ginger on the side.

"Guest officer, please use it slowly. If you need anything else, just tell me!" Xiao Er waved his hand, and someone lifted the chopping board down.

The cook cupped his hands at the young man, turned around and was about to leave.The young man hurriedly said: "Master, please stop! I have seen that the master's skills are really outstanding. I am also a businessman. If the master is willing, you can go to Hanoi with me. I will give you one ingot of gold every month with the master's craftsmanship!"

Hearing this, Xiaoer laughed: "Guest officer, to tell you the truth, our Master Zhang is very famous in our Jufeng Tower, and every month we get five gold ingots as rewards!"

The cook said: "Thank you for the kindness of the guest officer, money is not a big deal, I am from Jingzhou, the general made me achieve what I am today, I will be there wherever the general is, even if you pay a higher price, I will not go! "

"Oh? Hehe! I was the one to be rude!" The young man chuckled and said, "Master is really a loyal man, a loyal man!" After finishing speaking, he picked up a piece of fish meat, dipped it in bitter wine, put it in his mouth, closed his eyes and slowly Taste slowly.
