Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 24 Big Bodyguard (1)

Besides Zhou Cang, after sending the horse to Pei Yuanshao, the three of them changed to walking, they were all used to walking, and they didn't find it hard.Zhou Cang still feels that the current manpower is too small. Before there is any chaos and heroes from all walks of life have not yet emerged, he will recruit more talents under his command.Zhou Cang was worried that the literati's thinking was different from his own, and it would be difficult to deal with conflicts in the future, so he first targeted the fierce generals.

His original intention was that both Chen Liu and Qiao State would go to dig a large corner of Cao Cao's wall. Qiao State was a long way to the south, so Zhou Cang detoured to Jiwu County, Chenliu County, Yanzhou, which was relatively close, to try his luck. The person explained that the two thought that Zhou Cang had something else to ask and dared not ask more.

It was almost noon when we arrived outside Jiwu City.There is a dense forest outside the city, and the three of them are preparing to take a break and eat something before entering the city.Zhou Cang found a strong man leaning against a big tree. It was winter, but the man sat on the ground in his single clothes and didn't feel cold at all.Taking a closer look, you can see that the big yellow face, with sparse hair and thick beard, eyes slightly closed, and brows tightened, make people feel like a beast waiting for its prey.Just by looking at his upper body, he is very strong. If he stood up, he might be taller than Zhou Cang, and his age should be slightly older than Zhou Cang.Zhou Cang observed for a while, thinking to himself that this is not someone who is waiting for nothing, he stepped forward to salute, and said: "This brother, Zhou Jiabao Zhou Cang is very polite."

The strong man opened his eyes, glanced at Zhou Cang and nodded, then closed his eyes again.Looking at that expression, Zhou Cang felt like in the animal world, a full-fledged lion silently ignores the animals passing by him.

Gan and Chen saw that the strong man ignored them and were about to talk to them. Zhou Cang stopped them and told them not to cause trouble.The three of them sat down together, took out millet cakes and dried meat and ate them. Zhou Cang handed them to the strong man in a friendly manner, "Brother, I invite you."

The strong man was not polite when he took it, he grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth.After eating, Zhou Cang got up and saluted again: "Farewell." Then he pretended to leave, but the strong man suddenly said "Thank you." Then he closed his eyes again, as if there was something important to think about.

The fish is hooked.Zhou Cang just nodded and walked away. Gan and Chen were just about to follow in a daze when Zhou Cang suddenly turned around again, "Brother, I'm here for the first time, and I want to inquire about someone. If you know I hope to let you know."

"Speak." The strong man continued to speak with his eyes closed.

"I don't know if you know Chen Liudianwei."

"Huh?" The strong man opened his eyes, and a cold light flashed, "What do you want from him?"

"To tell you the truth, I have been good at martial arts since I was a child. I heard that Chen Liudian and Wei Ren are chivalrous, courageous, and powerful, so I came to pay a visit."

"Oh, so you came here to compete with him in martial arts?" The strong man's eyes became a little fierce.

"No, no, brother, I misunderstood." Zhou Cang waved his hand and said, "I don't have the heart to try, I know what I can do, how can I compare with him, I just admire his name and want to make friends with heroes. "

"Yeah, who did you say you were just now?" The strong man's tone was a little more soothing.

"In the next week's family fort, Zhoucang, the name is Weiguo."

The strong man suddenly said, "Zhoujiabao? I haven't heard of it." Zhou Cang didn't think it was strange. This is not an era of advanced communication, and the transmission of information is bound to be blocked, not to mention that Pei Yuanshao still doesn't know how it is developing. "Next is Dian Wei."

Knowing that it is you, I really have nowhere to look for, and it takes no effort to get it. "It's no wonder that I thought you were handsome when I first saw you. So you are Dian Wei. It's better to meet you than to be famous." Zhou Cang flattered him a little, and then said, "It's just why you were frowning just now, could it be that something difficult happened to you? "

"Small things are nothing to worry about." Dian Wei said pretending to be relaxed.

"Hey, what's the point. We got acquainted once, your business is my business, and friends should draw their swords to help. Could it be that you look down on me, Zhou Cang?"

"He's a man! I'll tell you something." Dian Wei said angrily, "I have always been in touch with Mrs. Liu from my hometown. Mrs. Liu was repeatedly persecuted by Li Yong from Suiyang, so that his family was ruined. To avenge the Liu family. Li Yong used to be the head of Fuchun, rich and powerful. He now lives in the city, with a high courtyard wall, many guards and guards, and he has followers when he goes in and out. I have tried to assassinate Li Yong many times but have no chance. So we're trying to figure it out."

"This act of righteousness, I will definitely help you." Zhou Cang pondered for a while. "This matter is not difficult to say, but it must be hit at the first blow, otherwise it will make him prepared and alarm the government, and it will be difficult. Just wait for me here for a day, and I will prepare first."

Zhou Cang led Gan and Chen into the city, first found a small blacksmith shop, and wanted to spend a lot of money to secretly make knives and halberds, but the blacksmith refused to agree, because the government found that he was going to jail.Zhou Cang had no choice but to give up the knife, but asked the blacksmith to make something similar to the iron halberd, so that the government would not be held accountable, and the manufacturing speed would be faster, which meant that he would come to pick it up the next day. The blacksmith finally agreed this time.Zhou Cang found a place in front of Li Yong's mansion to familiarize himself with the terrain, and asked him to find out that Li Yong would go out to see the magistrate the next day.

Early the next morning, Zhou Cang went to the market to hire a flatbed cart, loaded it with firewood, bought some chicken and wine, and put a big bamboo hat on the cart, then went to the blacksmith's shop to get an iron halberd to hide in the firewood.The knife is fine, Zhou Cang almost laughed when he saw the halberd, it is not a halberd at all, it is more like a fork, it is hard for a blacksmith to make such a shape in a day.

After Zhou Cang asked Gan and Chen to push a cart out of the city to meet Dian Wei, Zhou Cang handed over the dagger he had made to Dian Wei, hid the halberd in the firewood, and kept Chen Zhong's knife for his own use. stick.Then he told Dian Wei his plan, asked Dian Wei to act according to the plan, and agreed that the three of them would meet Dian Wei outside the city.

Dian Wei wore a bamboo hat and pushed a cart carrying chickens and wine into the city to the vicinity of Li Yong's house. He leaned on the cart, lowered the bamboo hat to cover his face, and pretended to be resting, as if waiting for someone. In addition to looking around, the eyes under the bamboo hat have been staring at the gate of Li Yong's house, with two hands folded in front of his chest, one of which is tightly holding the dagger in his arms.

After less than a meal, the door of Li Yong's house opened, and four attendants came out first, followed by Li Yong and his wife who were preparing to leave the mansion, followed by some attendants.

Dian Wei jumped out of the car, pushed the cart forward and rushed forward, the people in the house just went out and suddenly encountered a car rushing towards them, they were a little flustered immediately, no one cared to stop it.Dian Wei let go of the car, took out the dagger given by Zhou Cang from his pocket, stepped in front of Li Yong, stabbed twice in the chest, and killed Li Yong's wife with his backhand.Li Yong's subordinates were dumbfounded, and before they could react for a while, Dian Wei had already retreated to the side of the cart.
