The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 87
Li Yuan found an inn, rested for one night with Xu Zhu and others and left Lujiang tomorrow.

"My lord, tomorrow I will go to Lujiang Port to cross the river by boat first, and then go to Danyang after crossing the river." In order to protect Li Yuan's safety, Xu Zhu decided to share a room with Li Yuan, while the rest shared a room with five people.

"No, don't go to Danyang tomorrow, go to Wancheng first." Li Yuan decided to go to Wancheng first and then Danyang.

"Going to Wancheng? Why is my lord going to Wancheng?" Xu Zhu asked puzzled.

"I have heard for a long time that Qiao Guolao in Wancheng is very knowledgeable, so I want to visit and get acquainted with him." Li Yuan found a reason for himself. In fact, he went for the younger and younger Qiao, so let's get out of the way of Qiao Guolao.

"I see." Xu Zhu nodded without any doubt.

In the middle of the night, Li Yuan and Xu Zhu had already fallen asleep. Li Yuan was sleeping on the bed, and Xu Zhu was laying a bed on the floor. On the ground, but a person like him who can eat, drink and sleep can fall asleep immediately wherever he sleeps.

The two were sleeping soundly, when they suddenly heard a movement outside the door, Li Yuan and Xu Zhu opened their eyes almost at the same time, listening carefully, they could hear footsteps, someone was walking towards their room.

Li Yuan stood up from the bed, Xu Zhu was also awake, and took out a pair of short halberds around his waist. Even when he was sleeping, he carried a weapon with him, which is not usually the case, but tonight because he had to guard Li Yuan, he carried the weapon with him. .

Li Yuan waved his hand to Xu Zhu, signaling him not to act rashly, but to wait for the other person to come in. He wanted to see what the visitor was going to do.

Li Yuan was not in a hurry, and sat slowly on the bed, waiting for the other party to arrive. Xu Zhu also relaxed, trying to minimize the sound of breathing. From the sound of footsteps, he could tell that the other party was definitely more than one person, at least three to five people, sneaking around in the middle of the night Yes, definitely not a good idea.

Li Yuan sat on the bed, his eyes were fixed on the door, although it was late at night, he could still see clearly, because his eyes were already used to the light at this time, and a master like Xu Zhu's night vision was also very good.

"Shhh" a bamboo tube was inserted into the paper window suddenly, and smoke came out of the bamboo tube, Li Yuan knew without thinking that the other party wanted to confuse them with smoke, he and Xu Zhu glanced at each other, they were very happy Tacitly broke through the door at the same time, if you are fascinated by the smoke, you can't resist even if you want to.

Xu Zhu kicked open the door, and the person standing at the door blowing smoke was immediately kicked several feet away, and crashed directly into the door of the opposite room, which happened to be the soldiers of the Tiger Guard camp who lived opposite, and they had already noticed that there were people outside the door. They just waited for the opportunity to make a move, and seeing that their general Xu Zhu had already made a move, they didn't have to wait any longer, and immediately took out their weapons and slashed at these plotters.

There were five intruders in total, Xu Zhu kicked one to death without mercy, three of the remaining four were dealt with by the soldiers of the Tiger Guards, and the remaining one was also subdued. The soldiers of the Tiger Guards had a tacit understanding and knew that they must stay Under torture.

The remaining one was ashen-faced. He didn't expect that the other party had so many masters. The room next to Li Yuan was occupied by soldiers from the Tiger Guards Battalion. The uppermost floor was occupied by them. At this time, the soldiers also left after hearing the commotion come out.

"Shh, everyone, don't say anything, drag the dead bodies out, and drag the living ones into the room." Li Yuan signaled everyone to be careful, and don't make any noise. After all, this is Yuan Shu's territory, and he must not be found out.

Xu Zhu dragged the living victim into the room, while the rest went to dispose of the corpse, leaving a dozen or so people to guard the inn to avoid other thieves.

"Tell me, why do you want to plot something wrong?" Li Yuan sat on the bed and looked coldly at the worker, who was the shopkeeper who received them today.

The shopkeeper was terrified, he had done evil many times, and this was the first time he missed, and it seemed that the other party had many masters, so he didn't expect to come across a tough idea, but he still forced himself to calm down and said: "I advise you to hurry up!" Click to let me go, or you will be left waiting until you can’t eat.”

"Slap!" Before the shopkeeper finished speaking, Xu Zhu slapped him across the face, knocking out a few teeth, and almost passed out.

"I don't want to hear your nonsense, so tell me the truth, or don't blame me for being rude!" Li Yuan scolded sharply.

"Don't be arrogant." The shopkeeper just wanted to say, but he didn't dare to continue when he saw Xu Zhu's raised giant hand. If Xu Zhu hit him with this palm, he believed that he would lose half his life.

"I said, I said, don't fight anymore." Seeing someone more ruthless than himself, the shopkeeper had no choice but to accept his fate, "I think the young master is very luxuriously dressed, and he can tell he came from a rich family at a glance, so he dared to offend. It's just for money, absolutely not harming life."

"Won't it hurt your life?" Li Yuan sneered, "You just said clearly that it's best not to provoke you, otherwise I won't make it easier for me to wait. I don't think you are the mastermind, you must be doing things for others, right?"

The shopkeeper was really convinced, he seemed to be unable to hide anything in front of Li Yuan, and he didn't even dare to face Li Yuan's sharp eyes, so he could only nod helplessly in admission.

"Who is that person? Tell me the truth." Li Yuan continued to ask.

"Yuan Shu." The shopkeeper said his name, but he didn't know why he became more courageous after saying Yuan Shu's name. Yuan Shu is a prince with military power in his hands, and it is not something ordinary people can provoke. No matter what, in the face of Yuan Shao's thousands of troops, he had to admit cowardice.

"It turned out to be Yuan Shu? It shouldn't be possible." Li Yuan didn't panic when he heard Yuan Shu's name, he only had doubts on his face, because in his opinion, Yuan Shu could be regarded as a feudal lord with military power in his hand. Emperor Tu, no matter how bad it is, it is impossible to rob passing merchants.

"That's right, the person behind me is Yuan Shu. If you let me go, I don't care about it. Otherwise, don't blame me for telling him to let him lead the army to arrest you." The shopkeeper regretted it just after saying this. , because Xu Zhu slapped him again and knocked out a few of his teeth again, so that he didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore.

"Why did Yuan Shu do this? Could it be that he already knew that I was coming to Lujiang?" The more Li Yuan thought about it, the more wrong he became. If Yuan Shu knew that he was coming to Lujiang, he would definitely send heavy soldiers to surround the inn. How could he send a helpless man? The shopkeeper came to him.

"Yuan Shu was defeated in Nanyang. When he came to Lujiang, he was in a hurry. The money and food he brought could not support his army, so he specially ordered me to open an inn. If he met a rich businessman or a wealthy family passing by, he would steal his money secretly. I saw you today. You are generous, so I think you are a rich person, so you will plan to do something wrong, please don't blame me, let me go."

The shopkeeper was scared by Xu Zhu, so he said everything. If Li Yuan needed it, he was willing to tell his wife's name.
