The Assassin Empire of the Three Kingdoms

There are rumors in Jingzhou: Ma's five permanent members, white hair is the best.The eldest Ma Shun, the second Ma Kang, the third Ma Jin, and the fourth Ma Liang, that is, the one with white hair between the eyebrows.The youngest fifth child, named Ma Su, likes to talk and talk.These five people are all descendants of the Ma family in Xiangyang.Although the Ma family is not as powerful as the Cai family, Kuai family, Huang family and other big families in Xiangyang, it has a pivotal position among the scholars.Especially with the appearance of the five permanent members of the Ma family, even Liu Biao did not dare to be too harsh on the Ma family.People from the Ma family have been conscripted many times to be officials, but they have all been rejected.

Today, the five brothers were drinking here, and they happened to run into Long Fei.Ma Su stood up and looked Long Fei up and down: "Long Fei? I don't think I've heard of it, but my dear brother looks tired and speaks like a person from the Central Plains. He should be from the Central Plains. Could you tell us about it?" Talk about things in the Central Plains?"

"Ma Youchang really has good eyesight!" Long Fei looked at his whole body, except for his muddy shoes, he had already cleaned up. Based on these points alone, Ma Di could tell that he came from the north, which is indeed not easy. : "This is coming from Luoyang!"

Ma Di was taken aback: "You know me?"

"Which of the five members of the Ma family don't know, which one doesn't know? They are famous all over the world, especially Ma Youchang is the best!"

With a smile on his face, Ma Di raised his head high, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, obviously he felt particularly comfortable in his heart.The other four shook their heads and smiled wryly. This younger brother of theirs did have some talents, but they knew how much he was capable of. Now they were naturally happy to be praised by outsiders.Ma Su laughed loudly: "My dear friend, come on, can I have a drink with my dear friend?"

"I wish for it!" Long Fei hurriedly picked up the wine glass and walked to the table of the Ma brothers.

Long Fei did not make any embellishments or concealment about the turmoil in Luoyang, the [-] princes brought Dong Zhuo together, and Dong Zhuo's flight to the west, and told the Ma brothers in detail.Ma Shun let out a long sigh: "Hey! Eighteen princes, each with their own ulterior motives, failed to defeat Dong Zhuo, but instead let him sweep Luoyang and flee to Chang'an. It's a pity to continue to cause trouble!"

"At any rate, he still sent troops, but Liu Jingzhou is a son of the clan, sitting in the six counties of Jingxiang, but he is alone, this is really sad!"

"Old Five is right!" Ma Jin nodded, "Liu Biao is weak and trapped by Cai Hao, Kuai Liang and others. Sun Jian's tens of thousands of troops broke through Xiangyang, and it is a joke to spread the word!"

Ma Liang pondered for a long time: "Jingzhou is an important place. I don't think it's a bad thing for Liu Jingzhou not to send troops. Even if he sends troops, there will not be one more mediocre person among the princes. It's better to guard all the passes and wait for the world. If you become angry and attack Huanglong, you may be able to save the world from danger!"

"Hahaha..." Long Fei laughed loudly: "Brother Ma Liang's words, I agree! Now the world is about to be in chaos, and Jingzhou has been able to maintain peace for so many years. It’s better to hide for a while, to accumulate strength, and look for other opportunities in the future! I’m afraid that’s what Liu Jingzhou thinks!”

Ma Di laughed and said, "Liu Biao has more talent but not enough courage. I'm afraid he is not as sophisticated as Brother Long thought. This Jingzhou seems to be peaceful, but in fact there is an undercurrent. The Cai, Kuai, Huang and other big families are secretly intriguing, and Liu Biao I only care about pacifying the conflicts among the various families, and have no other thoughts at all. If I were a prince in the north, and when Liu Biao died, I would immediately send an elite army to drive down, and Jingzhou would be leveled in one battle! Everyone flees in anticipation of the wind, and most of the country will be in their hands, and then go north, this is a strategy that is easy first and then difficult!"

"Papa, papa..." Long Fei applauded and congratulated, "Brother Ma Su is indeed very resourceful, and he can secure the world with just a few words. He is really a good minister!"

"Awful praise! Awful praise!" Although his mouth was modest, his face was full of pride.The elder brothers knew their little brother quite well, and knew that what he said was one thing, but when it came to the truth, he would not be so clever.Ma Kang said with a smile: "Fifth brother is talking nonsense, Brother Long don't take it to heart!"

Long Fei continued to flatter everyone, and everyone in the Ma family was happy.This conversation lasted from noon to sunset.The five got up to say goodbye, and Long Fei sent them to the door. Ma Liang suddenly stopped and looked back at Long Fei: "Brother Long, you'd better leave Xiangyang immediately, or there will be a catastrophe!"

Long Fei smiled and nodded slightly: "Brother Xie Jichang reminded me!"

Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Dian Wei had already fallen asleep lying on the table.When the few people left, they woke up leisurely.Looking at the backs of several people, Long Fei immediately ordered not to stay in Xiangyang for a long time, if the person to wait for did not arrive tomorrow, they had to leave.After paying for the drinks, they returned to the inn, and they all fell asleep.Sleeping until midnight, Long Fei was awakened by a light knock on the door.Yigulu got up and went out to check.

The yard was pitch black and there was nothing.The leaves blown by the night wind made a rustling sound, and the moon appeared in the clouds from time to time.Long Fei shuddered and was about to close the door.When he lowered his head, he found a bamboo slip inside the door.Long Fei looked around, the corridors and aisles were all dark, and he listened quietly for a while, but there was no sound.Picking up the bamboo slips on the ground, closing the door, turning around and lighting the oil lamp.

"At noon tomorrow, Xiangyang Tower!" No signature, no time.However, on the back of the bamboo slips, a familiar symbol made Long Fei's heart skip a beat.This sign is very familiar to him, the coiled dragon, with five claws, is lifelike, as if it is about to pierce through the bamboo slips and pounce towards it.This black ice man really has great powers, he even knows that he is here, do you want to go?This question has been haunting Long Fei's mind.

The rooster crowed three times, and the eastern sky turned pale.Sitting on the bedside, Long Fei was still guessing what Hei Bing's purpose was for looking for him at this time, with various results.Maybe it's a new mission, or it's for Yuxi, or it's for getting rid of myself.But Long Fei couldn't figure it out, if there was a new task, there was no need to skip the notice, wouldn't Xu Shu be by his side?If you want Yuxi, how do the people in Heibing know that the real Yuxi is with you?It's even more impossible to get rid of themselves. Up to now, I haven't done anything sorry for Hei Bing, why did they get rid of themselves?

"Papapa!" A few knocks on the door interrupted Long Fei's thoughts, and Zhao Yun walked into the room with a basin of water.Seeing Long Fei and Yi sitting on the side of the couch, he felt a little strange: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay! I'm not leaving today! You and I will go somewhere later!"

Zhao Yun didn't ask, just nodded.After breakfast, Long Fei asked Zhao Yun to bring Huang Zhong and Dian Wei, and only then did he take out the bamboo slip that was delivered last night.Several people were a little confused after reading it.Long Fei said: "Whether it's a Hongmen banquet or not, let's see. Second brother and Dian Wei will go with me. Brother Huang, bring your guys and find a place to be ready at any time!"

Xiangyang Tower is the most famous place in Xiangyang City, rich and powerful dignitaries in Xiangyang City are frequent visitors here.Xiangyang cuisine is a northern flavor of Chu cuisine. It is based on the flavors of Xiangyang and Yunyang, and absorbs the flavors of Jingnan, Yuzhou, Yongzhou and Yizhou.It is characterized by using beef and mutton as the main raw materials, together with local delicacies and wild game. The production methods are mostly red grilled, hot-roasted, raw-fried, re-cooked, and cold-dressed.People in Bashu and Jingchu areas are naturally spicy, and almost all dishes use chili peppers. Unlike the spicy Sichuan cuisine and the fiercely spicy Jingnan cuisine, Xiangyang cuisine pays attention to fresh and spicy.Before entering the door, the strong spicy smell has already burst out.

Xiangyang Tower has three floors, which can be regarded as a relatively high place in Xiangyang City. When you go up to the top of the building, you can overlook the beautiful scenery of Xiangyang, and it has become a treasured place for literati.As soon as Long Fei arrived at the door, the waiter immediately greeted him.This shop is not so big, it is full of [-] to [-] small compartments, separated into private rooms, with small tables and cushions inside, imitating the food sharing of noble families.Unlike the square tables and stools in small shops.

Although it is crowded, it is not noisy.Those who come here are all noble people, so naturally they don't yell like the inferior people.Long Fei didn't know who to look for, so the waiter led them to the second floor.The second floor is the same as the first floor, and there are also private rooms, and the doors of each private room are closed.In the past, it didn't look like a restaurant at all, it was more like those genteel places on TV, but there were no clients coming and going.

Not long after, the door of the room was pushed open, and the waiter came in with an ugly, short figure.The man held a wine gourd in his hand and took a sip, his nose and cheeks turned even redder.A pair of small eyes rolled around the three of them indistinctly.

"Guest officer? It's these few!" Xiao Er accompanied her with a smile.

The man smiled slightly, took out some money from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Er: "Go, get some more pots of wine, I want to have a good drink with these guys!"

Xiao Er looked at the few copper coins in his hand and felt a little troubled, and was about to speak.Long Fei chuckled: "This man has an extraordinary appearance, do as he says, and if it's not enough, put it on my account!"

Xiao Er agreed and went down.The man didn't feel the slightest bit of embarrassment, he sat down on his own, without restraint, he should eat and drink, and he didn't miss the food in front of him.From the beginning to the end, he didn't say a word, ate and drank enough, burped, wiped the oil stains from his mouth and sweat from his face with his sleeves, took off his outer robe by the way, and leaned against the pillar behind him , comfortably closed his eyes.

Long Fei and the others have been watching this person's movements.Dian Wei couldn't help but really wanted to go up and punch that man twice, but Long Fei stopped him with his eyes.After another half a quarter of an hour, Long Fei wiped the oil stains on his mouth, shook the crumbs on his body, got up slowly, walked in front of the man, and gently pushed him: "Brother? It's delicious and comfortable." ? If it’s okay, I’ll take my leave!”

Just as he walked to the door, a faint voice came from behind: "General, please stay!"
