The Assassin Empire of the Three Kingdoms

The development of the matter was completely beyond Liu Biao's expectation.First generals Cai Mao and Zhang Yun left, and then Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue came up with a particularly strange idea.This made it even more difficult for Liu Biao. Since ancient times, gentlemen have always done things frankly. When did the Kuai brothers become so insidious?

Liu Biao waved his hands again and again: "You and I are both scholars, and the etiquette of a gentleman still has to be talked about. If this matter gets out, will you and I still have the face to stay in Jingzhou?"

Kuai Liang smiled slightly: "My lord, don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with us, it's the grievance between Nanyang nobles and Long Fei, you and I just need to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight!"

"Is there anything wrong?" Liu Biao continued to ask.The Kuai brothers made repeated promises, and Liu Biao finally agreed: "Since this is the case, then you should do it. Just in case, it is better to transfer Cai Mao's navy!"

Gan Ning besieged Fancheng for several days, but there was no chaos in the city.Just as Gan Ning guessed, Liu Biao mobilized Cai Mao's navy to Xiangshui, between Fancheng and Xiangyang, with the clear purpose of preventing them from continuing to go south.Wen Pin could see clearly from the top of the city tower, the thing he was most worried about had happened, so he was obviously throwing himself to Long Fei to ignore.There is limited food and grass in Fancheng, so it won't last long, he sent people out of the city yesterday to test it out, the army and horses under the city are all elite soldiers, and 5000 people can't last long.

Lieutenant General Wang Wei looked at the warships on the Xiangshui in the distance, and sighed, "General, we are no longer here!"

"Nonsense, the lord is gathering soldiers and horses, cooperating internally and externally, and repelling Gan Ning in one go. Send an order to let the brothers stand firm for a few more days. When the lord's army arrives, we will go out of the city and kill!"

Although Liu Biao's actions were as they expected before the war, Long Fei was still a little worried.When he came to Xiangyang last time, he remembered clearly that this place was Nanyang, and Wollongong was nearby.Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and other main members of Heibing live here.If these people help Liu Biao deal with him together, he doesn't have much confidence.He regretted not bringing Guo Jia or Jia Xu with him.

Long Fei called Gan Ning into his big tent, and expressed his uneasiness.Gan Ning frowned: "My lord is worried that those people will help Liu Biao deal with me?"

Long Fei nodded: "You don't know, these people are all sinister and vicious, and what they are best at is making some small tricks, we have to guard against them!"

Gan Ning said: "Since the lord is worried, I will call Zhou Tai here to take charge of the lord's safety. If there is any movement, we will withdraw our troops!"

In the past few days, the weather has not been very good. The cold northwest wind kept blowing, and there were two heavy snowfalls in succession, covering everything under the whiteness.In the cold weather, the soldiers still had to stand guard, and they kept stomping in the snow because of the cold.Long Fei took Zhou Tai from one sentry post to another, constantly comforting the soldiers who followed him, telling some jokes, making everyone temporarily forget about the cold weather and the upcoming battle.

A few footprints on the snow caught Long Fei's attention.These footprints are only half, obviously caused by someone touching the ground with only the soles of their feet. If you don't pay much attention, you may think they are snow pits.Long Fei squatted down and took a closer look. The footprints were very deep, and they were not covered with soft snow. According to the time estimate, it should have been last night.Looking around, there are two or three such footprints.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Tai didn't know why Long Fei frowned suddenly.

Long Fei pulled over the two soldiers standing guard nearby: "Who stood guard last night? Did you find anything abnormal?"

The soldiers were taken aback by Long Fei, and hurriedly said: "It's Erhei and the others, we took over in the morning!"

"Go, get them here!"

The time was not long, and the person sent to find someone hurried over with two soldiers.When asked about what happened last night, the two soldiers standing guard at night faltered and hawed at all.It turned out that these two guys, because it was too cold, sneaked back to sleep before midnight.Zhou Tai was furious, he raised his big hand and slapped each of them first: "You two boys, this is going to sell us all! Come here, and the Fa will be executed on the spot!"

"My lord, spare my life, my lord, spare my life! We won't dare to do it again next time!" The two knelt down and kowtowed hurriedly.

Long Fei thought about it, maybe this is also a good thing, if he uses his loopholes to bring in those people, he will know who sent them!He looked at the two of them: "If you are the first offender, pull them down, each of you will have twenty military sticks, and you will still stand guard tonight!"

Going back to the big tent of the Chinese army, Gan Ning had just returned from checking Fancheng.Speaking of what happened just now, Zhou Tai was not angry.Gan Ning smiled slightly: "Second brother, my lord must have a reason for doing this, you and I must not talk about it!"

Long Fei smiled: "Okay, my General Zhou, I'll tell you the truth, I just want to lure a snake out of its hole!"

Zhou Tai's eyes rolled, and he immediately understood: "Wonderful! I'll prepare right now, and I will definitely catch them all tonight!"

A few people in white clothes crawled forward a little bit on the snow, trying not to make any noise.Erhei and his partner were beaten with [-] army sticks, and their buttocks were still in unbearable pain, so they were placed on vigil again.The mood became so bad that Erhei complained a few words, and the other quickly said: "It's all your fault, what you said yesterday is that you'll be fine when you go back, now it's good, let the lord catch him right away, and make me suffer as well!"

Erhei bared his teeth and grinned: "Aren't you the same, if I didn't call you, you wouldn't be able to wake up in the morning!"

Looking at the raging fire inside, Erhei couldn't stand the cold, and moved towards the fire step by step, the other shouted a few times, Erhei said: "It's not far away, I can see it, I really can't stand the cold !"

As soon as Erhei left, the snow began to creep slowly, over the wall of the village, and crawled towards the back of the tent.Walking into the shadows, three people in white clothes instantly stood up from the ground.These people, with single swords in their hands, wrapped their entire bodies in white clothes, even their fingers were wrapped in white cloth, so they couldn't be seen lying on the snow.Looking at the big tent of the Chinese army, one of them shook his head.The other two outflanked from both sides of the tent, using the cover of black shadows to quickly move towards the central military tent.

Seeing that the two had disappeared, the white-clothed man who stayed here looked around, silently calculating the time when the patrol soldiers would arrive.Last night, they had checked clearly.There are a total of eight teams of patrol soldiers in Long Fei's camp, patrolling every quarter of an hour for a week, and they have a quarter of an hour to complete their tasks.At the stall where the man in white was poking his head, there happened to be a group of patrol soldiers passing by the door of the big tent.

When the pair of patrolmen had just passed by, the man in white stretched his waist, spread his legs and moved quickly towards the big tent, raised the curtain, and rushed in.There were no lights in the big tent, only a pot of burning charcoal.With the light of the charcoal fire, he could see clearly that on the left side of the bed, a person was sleeping face-to-face, and he could hear the soft snoring clearly.

The man in white slowly approached, raised the steel knife in his hand, and slashed at the man on the bed.After only one cut, he stopped. This feeling is completely different from the feeling of a steel knife cutting into the human body, and it is still elastic.Upon closer inspection, there were straws at the seams of the clothes.His mind was suddenly startled: It's broken, it's been tricked!

The sound of shouting and killing came from outside the tent immediately, and after a few screams, someone shouted at the big tent: "Don't try to escape, you boy, come out and surrender wisely! Otherwise, we will shoot arrows!"

The torches and lanterns illuminated the outside of the big tent like daytime.You don't need to look to know that your two partners have been arrested, and they may be dead.I am also doomed.Stabilizing his mind, he held a knife in one hand and opened the curtain with the other to appear in front of everyone.This man was tall, with broad shoulders, his eyes fixed on Long Fei standing between Gan Ning and Zhou Tai.

"Your Excellency is very courageous, can I see your true face?" Long Fei looked at that person.The man gently took off the white cloth on his face, revealing a handsome face: "Long Fei really deserves his reputation. My plan was so thorough that I fell short. Can you enlighten me, how did the general see the flaw? I think I have no flaw!"

"In that case, can you put down your weapon and talk about the wine in detail?" Long Fei made a gesture of invitation, and the man looked at the two men who had been arrested beside him, nodded slightly, and threw the steel knife in his hand to the ground in front of him.A dozen soldiers immediately rushed forward.Long Fei hurriedly stopped: "This strong and honest person, don't need to be like this, please!"

Back in the big tent, Long Fei sat in the handsome seat, Gan Ning and Zhou Tai stood on both sides, and a small table and cushions were placed on the opposite side.The man was not polite and sat down.When the wine and meat were served, the man poured himself a glass first, then drank it down: "General, can you tell me now, how did you discover my weakness?"

Long Fei briefly talked about the footprints.After the man heard this, he frowned and sighed up to the sky: "I said long ago that the weather is not good for me. They didn't listen at all. I am confident that I have done my best. I didn't expect the general to notice it! Today I was caught by the general. Capture, I am convinced! But, can the general release my two brothers, I will stay at the disposal of the general!"

"Are you still talking about conditions?" Zhou Tai said angrily, "Quickly tell me, who sent you here?"

The man smiled without saying a word, looking at Long Fei with his eyes.Long Fei stopped Zhou Tai, and said to the man: "Okay! I see that a strong man is also a man of temperament. I, Long Fei, like to make friends with strong men who still take care of their brothers in times of crisis. I promise you! Let him go!"

The other two assassins who were captured were brought in.These two were not very old, and they were as energetic as that man.When the three met, the two knelt on the ground, burst into tears and claimed that they had harmed their elder brother.The man chuckled: "General Long and I have already agreed, you can go back, and tell them not to send any more people after you go back, that will only increase the casualties!"

With kind words of comfort, the man in white heaved a sigh of relief as he sent the two people out of the camp.He suddenly snatched a knife from the soldier guarding him, flipped his wrist and put it on his neck: "I am so old that I failed to complete the mission, so I apologize with death!"
