CHAPTER 501 - LI GUI'S SAVIOR

How dare you, thief! A loud shout rang out. Zhang Hu, who had been held by Xiao Luoyan the entire time, furiously roared when he saw Xiao Luoyan was in danger. He took a large step forward and blocked in front of Xiao Luoyan. Zhang Hu's previous arrogance wasn't without reason! As the saying goes, a tiger father doesn't have a dog son. Since childhood, Zhang Hu has received personal guidance from General Zhang Liao, and his skills are not something an ordinary peer can compare to.

But unfortunately, Zhang Hu's opponent this time wasn't an ordinary person! The black figure was clearly startled when he saw Zhang Hu attack. However, he immediately let out a mocking laugh. The black claw turned around and directly covered Zhang Hu's fist. Immediately, it climbed onto his wrist. Immediately after, they saw Zhang Hu's body uncontrollably fly forward, directly flying out and landing right at the feet of the marten cicada behind the black shadow! Zhang Hu fell to the ground and could only hold his wrist. His head was covered with cold sweat as he moaned. His wrist was twisted in an extremely strange way. It was obvious that the claw had broken Zhang Hu's wrist! Fortunately, Zhang Hu was tough enough. If he was a normal child, he would have cried out in pain. However, Zhang Hu was still able to endure the pain without making a sound! On the other side, after taking care of Zhang Hu, the black shadow charged towards Xiao Luoyue once again!

Seeing that the black claw was about to cover Xiao Luoyan's face, and thinking of Zhang Hu's wrist just now, he simply did not dare to imagine what would happen if the same black claw grabbed onto her face! And at this moment, a cold snort sounded. A hand suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Luoyan and grabbed onto the black claw with lightning speed! No matter how much the black claw struggled, it could not move forward!

And the owner of this hand was the leader of the janissaries, Li Gui, who had been chasing after Xiao Luoyan! At this moment, Li Gui was standing beside Xiao Luoyan. He grabbed the black claw with one hand, and with the other hand, he used the arm of the ape to bring Xiao Luoyan behind him. He then raised his head to look at the black shadow.

Just from the looks of it, this was an extremely ordinary middle-aged man. He belonged to the type that would be lost in the crowd and disappear immediately. However, Li Gui wouldn't be deceived by the ordinary appearance of the person in front of him. In reality, if it wasn't for Zhang Hu stopping him for a moment, Li Gui wouldn't have been able to save Xiao Luoyan! Such a fast speed, it was clear that this person was extremely powerful!

Wang Xiu! Didn't you say that you could just take me to see your foster father? Didn't you promise me that you wouldn't harm anyone in the manor? At this moment, she was no longer her usual dignified self. The scene just now had scared her to the point where her face had turned pale. She could not imagine what would happen to Luo Yang if anything happened to little Luo Yue!

Humph! The middle-aged man who was named Wang Xiu by the marten cicada suddenly kicked Li Gui and forced him to retreat. He quickly took a few steps back, turned his head to look at the marten cicada, and immediately turned back to stare at Li Gui. You have already betrayed him, and are willing to cooperate with Luo Yang! "

Li Gui's eyes flashed, his gaze never leaving Wang Xiu. He snorted, I don't care who you are! [Since you dare to be so impudent in the general's residence, there are only two options left for you!] The first was to surrender without a fight! Second, is to leave your head behind! As he said that, Li Gui gently pushed the little moon behind him to the back. Immediately afterwards, he pulled out the sabre at his waist and pointed it at Wang Xiu!

Wang Xiu didn't have the time to care about the marten cicada at this moment. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Gui as he sneered, There really are hidden dragons and crouching tigers by Luo Yang's side! With your skills, you are definitely one of the first class experts! Now, he had become a lowly janitor in the general's residence! I have miscalculated on this point!

But! After saying that, Wang Xiu suddenly raised his hand. On his five fingers, there were actually long claws that were shining with a strange metallic luster! Wang Xiu snorted with a savage expression, For a martial artist like you who comes from a peerless background, if we were to fight on the battlefield, I would definitely not be your match. But in terms of assassination techniques! You can't stop me no matter what! Even if I can't kill Luo Yang's daughter, I still have his wife and son here! I don't believe that you can protect so many people by yourself! Crunch, crunch, crunch! With that, Wang Xiu let out a cruel laugh and leaped out of the garden!

It was at this moment that Li Gui, who had been standing guard in front of Xiao Luoyan, suddenly flashed. In the next moment, he appeared in front of Wang Xiu, directly blocking him! This time, it really gave Wang Xiu a big fright! Without waiting for Wang Xiu to recover from his shock, Li Gui picked up his saber and slashed at Wang Xiu at the exact moment!

Thanks to Wang Xiu's quick reaction, he immediately raised his claws and parried Li Gui's saber with his own chest! However, this still couldn't stop Li Gui's blade strike. Wang Xiu was directly chopped down from midair by the blade, falling heavily onto the ground! However, the moment he landed, Wang Xiu flipped over and finally dispelled the force of the knife. He half knelt on the ground and looked at Li Gui with disbelief as he shouted, How is this possible?! How could you be so fast? "

Humph! What answered Wang Xiu was only Li Gui's cold snort. He didn't give Wang Xiu a chance to catch his breath. With a stomp, he raised his saber and charged towards Wang Xiu! This time, Li Gui's speed was a bit faster than before. In the blink of an eye, Li Gui was in front of Wang Xiu. He raised his saber and chopped down at Wang Xiu's head!

Wang Xiu was scared out of his wits and rolled around like a lazy donkey, pathetically avoiding Li Gui's knife. In order to be safe, he even rolled a few rounds on the ground to confirm that he had escaped from Li Gui's attack range. Only then did he dare to stand up and look at Li Gui with a face full of fear! At this moment, he was certain that this janissary was definitely not trained from the army. It was clearly a martial art commonly used by rangers! Furthermore, based on Wang Xiu's many years of experience and knowledge, even among all the rangers in the world, there were no more than five who could reach the level of this man in front of him! It was clear that Wang Xiu himself wasn't included among the five, which meant that there was no way he could be a match for the person in front of him! Thinking of this, Wang Xiu couldn't help but shiver. He asked with a trembling voice, You, you, just who are you?

Who am I? Is there any meaning to someone who is about to die? Li Gui looked at Wang Xiu coldly. However, the blade in his hand was still pointed at Wang Xiu. He could attack Wang Xiu at any time!

You! Hearing Li Gui's words, Wang Xiu was so angry that he almost rushed out to fight with Li Gui! However, Wang Xiu was an experienced assassin and quickly recovered his composure. He shouted with a deep voice, I don't know who you are, but I do know that you won't tell me your true identity! Now that I've met you, I can only admit defeat! There were mountains and rivers everywhere! Let's spar again next time! Farewell! As he spoke, Wang Xiu leapt forward, intending to escape!

Humph! Come on! If you want to leave, go! What do you think this place is? " Wang Shouchuan didn't want to leave, but Li Gui didn't let him. He coldly snorted, picked up his saber, and gave chase! Li Gui's speed was much faster than Wang Xiu's. He quickly caught up to Wang Xiu and used a single blade to slash at his back!

Wang Xiu had long since been prepared for Li Gui's move. He twisted his body in the air and kicked the surface of Li Gui's blade, finally neutralizing Li Gui's attack. But this way, Wang Xiu also lost his chance to escape. He and Li Gui landed on the ground at the same time. As soon as they hit the ground, the two of them began to engage in a chaotic battle again.

At this moment, Little Luoyue finally recovered her wits. She let out a cry and directly ran to the side of the marten cicada and threw herself into its embrace as she cried out. That cry was extremely aggrieved and caused one's heart to involuntarily ache. The marten cicada also hurriedly hugged little Luo Yue in its embrace, trying to comfort her.

What's going on? At this moment, another sound rang out. The marten cicada turned its head and saw Luo Qian and Fa Zheng slowly walking into the garden. At the same time, a large number of soldiers followed them in. It was obvious that the commotion had alarmed everyone in the manor. Even Luo Gan and Fa Zheng, who were studying in the study in the backyard, were alarmed. They had gathered all the soldiers to surround the entire garden!

Sister! What's wrong?" Even though Luo Gan was only four years old, he was already like a father to an old man. He was able to command the soldiers with a sense of propriety and was not in a mess at all. After Luo Gan discovered Little Luo Yue, who was crying bitterly while hugging the marten cicada, his expression darkened as a continued killing intent surfaced on his little face! Just like his father, Luo Yang, Luo Gan valued his family very much. Xiao Luo Yue was Luo Gan's only sister, and now she seemed to be greatly wronged when she saw Xiao Luo Yue. Luo Qian, who was usually calm, had a face full of anger.

Fa Zheng had been ordered by Luo Yang to serve as his teacher for half a year. In this half year, Fa Zheng was already stunned by the exceptional performance of this special student of his. Just when Fa Zheng thought he knew Luo Gan well, Luo Gan showed Fa Zheng a strange side of him! Fa Zheng could vaguely see Luo Yang's shadow on Luo Gan's tiny figure.

CHAPTER 502 - LI GUI PHANTOM?

Under the mink cicada's explanation, Luo Gan and the others quickly understood what had happened. Early in the morning, someone came to the door and claimed to be a member of the marten cicada's family. They had something important to request to see the marten cicada. At that time, the marten cicada had guessed that Wang Yun had sent someone. Although it was clear that they wanted to avoid meeting each other, after recalling that Wang Yun had helped it, it finally agreed to meet.

Only after seeing the marten cicada did he realize that the person that Wang Yun had sent was actually the most powerful expert, Wang Xiu, who was standing by Wang Yun's side! However, at that time, the marten cicada would already have been restrained by Wang Xiu and would not be able to resist at all. Of course, it was mainly because Wang Xiu had suggested that the mink cicada should leave the general's manor and meet with Wang Yun. Moreover, it wouldn't harm anyone within the general's mansion as a precondition, which was why the mink cicada would agree to Wang Xiu's request.

But she never thought that she would run into Xiao Luoyue here! Wang Xiu discovered that this little girl was Luo Yang's daughter. Naturally, she was a rare commodity and wanted to capture Xiao Luoyan! He just hadn't thought that he would run into such a tough nail here! In the end, the small marten said with a face full of self-blame: It's all my fault! If it wasn't for me, this wouldn't have happened! It's all my fault!

Luo Gan turned his head to look at the marten, but he did not say anything reprimanding. Instead, he said to Fa Zheng, Mister Fa Zheng! Take a few people with you to escort Third Madame and Big Sister back to their rooms to rest!

Ugh! Yes! Hearing Luo Gan's words, Fa Zheng was stunned for a moment before subconsciously nodding his head in agreement. It was as if Luo Gan's words contained an aura that could not be refused, causing Fa Zheng to involuntarily choose to listen to this four year old child! The marten cicada also widened its eyes as it stared at Luo Gan's tiny figure. It never expected that Luo Gan's words were completely devoid of any intention of blaming it! Fa Zheng sighed and thought to himself, The Lord is finally here!

After Fa Ma brought the marten cicada and Xiao Luo Yue down, Luo Gan looked at Zhang Hu, who was clutching his wrist. Although he was in excruciating pain, he did not make a sound. Hurry up and send someone to get Mr. Zhang Ji! Zhang Hu! You should go down and rest. You don't have to worry about this here! " Although Luo Gan's voice was soft and soft, and these words came out of the mouth of a four year old boy like Luo Gan, no one, including Zhang Hu and the soldiers, would find it funny. Zhang Hu was already sweating profusely from the pain. He nodded at Luo Gan and left this place under the escort of two soldiers, waiting for Zhang Ji to come treat him.

After taking care of all this, Luo Gan once again focused his attention on the battle in the middle of the garden. The battle was about to end. Although Wang Xiu could be considered an expert, in front of Li Gui, the title of expert was not very useful. With a clang, the two of them flew in opposite directions. However, Li Gui landed steadily on the ground. He held a single saber in one hand and pointed it forward. Wang Xiu fell heavily onto the ground.

Wang Xiu endured the pain as he turned his body around and shouted at Li Gui, You! I recognize this move of yours! I recognize him! You! You are Gui Feng! You are Gui Feng!

Hearing Wang Xiu's exclamation, Li Gui's face turned cold. However, a glint flashed through his eyes, carrying a trace of unspeakable meaning. However, he quickly returned to normal. Li Gui waved his blade and coldly shouted, Who I am is not important! The important thing is that you have already lost! After saying that, Li Gui flicked his wrist, and the blade swiftly returned to its scabbard. He turned around and walked in front of Luo Gan, cupping his fist in salute towards him. The soldiers beside him didn't need Luo Gan and Li Gui to explain. They directly swarmed over and tied up Wang Xiu! The only pity was that Wang Xiu's entire body was covered with knife wounds. Those soldiers weren't polite to him. As he was tied up, his eyes rolled back in pain and he fainted!

Luo Qian, on the other hand, looked at Li Gui with a meaningful gaze. Luo Qian remembered what the assassin had said to him, but he didn't say anything as he looked at Li Gui's cold and indifferent expression. He only nodded and said, Li Gui, you've worked hard! Let's go down and rest! You guys, clean this place up, clean up the blood stains!" After he finished speaking, Luo Gan actually didn't care about anything and turned around to leave, leaving only Li Gui standing on the spot, looking at his back absentmindedly.

— — Divide line —

After getting the approval of the Son of Heaven, Luo Yang did not delay any further and immediately ordered Qin Mi to draft a decree under the title of Son of Heaven, declaring Sun Jian to be a traitor and announcing his ten great sins. Obviously, this time, Luo Yang was going to snatch back the Jiang Dong that Sun Jian had snatched a few years ago!

Once this edict was issued, it immediately shocked the entire world! Ever since the Son of Heaven conferred the title of Marquis five years ago, it had been a long time since such a large-scale war had broken out in the Central Plains. Many people had even forgotten that they were still living in a state of chaos. And following the issuance of this forced edict, as long as one had some brains, they would immediately realize that it was likely that the world would fall into chaos again!

In the east county of Yanzhou City, Wei Hou, who was the history of Yanzhou Assassin, immediately summoned his important subordinates from the east city to the Wei Hou manor for a discussion after receiving this forced order. In the meeting room of the Wei Hou manor, everyone was shocked after they had heard the full list of chants. In an instant, the entire meeting room was filled with whispers.

Cough, cough! Cao Cao didn't gather everyone here just to listen to their nonsense. He lightly coughed and said, Everyone, the battle between Luo Yang and Sun Jian is a foregone conclusion! I wonder what methods do you have to teach me?

My lord! The first one to stand up and speak was the fierce general Ma Chao who went to Cao Cao Cao's tent five years ago. Ma Chao's face was filled with excitement as he cupped his hands and shouted, Since Luo Yang is fighting with Sun Jian now! This was a golden opportunity! Since Luo Yang had sent troops to Jing Prefecture, the Yongzhou area was bound to be empty! This lowly general is willing to lead his troops, launch a sneak attack on Chang'an, and behead Luoyang and present him to the Lord! How could Ma Chao forget the hatred of destroying his clan? Before this, Cao Cao and his men were trying to dissuade Ma Chao because the time wasn't right, but Ma Chao had given up. The battle between Luo Yang and Sun Jian was a great opportunity for Ma Chao. Naturally, Ma Chao wouldn't let it go!

General Ma! As soon as Ma Chao finished his words, Xun, the first of the top strategists to follow Cao Cao, immediately stood up and said: General Ma, this method is inappropriate! Luo Yang had been in the city for many years, and his influence in the Yongzhou region was already deeply rooted. How could he be so easily ambushed by the general? Forget about everything else, just Gao Shun and his underlings alone won't be enough to let the general pass through!"

Humph! When Ma Chao heard that his suggestion was refuted by Xun, he immediately showed some anger and snorted: What can a mere faction be counted as? As far as I know, there are only a few thousand soldiers in the entrenched camp. Could it be that our lord can't even defeat a few thousand soldiers and horses?"

Meng Qi! Don't speak nonsense! Ma Chao's words contained a tinge of resentment, and he even secretly chided him for his cowardice. Xia Hou Fton, who was sitting on the left side of Cao Cao, could not stand it any longer, and immediately scolded, That Corner of Corner is known as the number one wonder of the world! If it wasn't for Luo Yang sending his men to ambush Chang'an, it would have been impossible for him to break through the Coronation Valley's defenses! Now that the Corner of Concealment had been rebuilt by Luo Yang, its defensive power was even stronger than before! In addition to Gao Shun's faction, it was even more impressive! The Correspondence Valley and the entrenched camp really had the tendency of holding the fort against all enemies! Even though the lord had troops under his command, he could not easily waste them on such matters as taking down the Corridor of Corridor! If you still don't sit down, you are not allowed to act in an unrestrained manner! " The prestige of Xiao-Hwang-ton among the generals was so great that even an unruly man like Ma Chao, seeing that Xiao-Hwang-ton had spoken, did not dare to go on talking. He could only sit back and sulk.

After seeing Xiahou Fton take care of Ma Chao, Cao Cao was more at ease. He focused on the important matter at hand and said in a deep voice, Meng Qi's words are actually quite reasonable. It would be a great pity if we just miss this opportunity!

Hearing that Cao Cao was actually agreeing with him, Ma Chao couldn't help but feel overjoyed. Xun You, on the other hand, thought that Cao Cao was really going to agree with Ma Chao's suggestion to sneak an attack on Chang'an. Not to mention the fact that it was difficult to overcome the Corridor Pass! Even if it is just Chang An City, our army will not be able to breach it in such a short period of time! When the time for battle to begin is long, Luo Yang's troops will definitely come back to help Changan. Our army will be attacked from all sides, and will only be able to perish! "

What Xun was saying made Cao Cao Cao hesitate again. He was in a dilemma and couldn't make a decision. Inside the meeting room, the officials and generals were discussing among themselves. They were all in agreement with Ma Chao's suggestion! When he saw this situation, he could not help but frown. In fact, he did not really agree with Ma Chao's suggestion. He was just worried that Ma Chao would act rashly because of his personal grudge, which would only ruin Cao Cao's plans! And in his own mind, Xiahou - ton also thought that a sneak attack on Chang'an was a good idea!

As one of the few advisors who agreed with Ma Chao, he thought deeply for a moment before standing up and cupping his hands to Cao Cao, My lord! This time, Luoyang sent troops to the east of Jiangdong and sent a large number of troops. According to the intelligence, Jing Prefecture's brave soldiers had already accumulated to the Changsha and Yuzhang counties. Yong Prefecture's Rising Blade Cavalry were sent to Jing Prefecture as assistance. Our army only needs to wait for the fight between Luo Yang and Sun Jian before we can suddenly make our move. Once the Corridor Pass was broken, the Changan City would no longer have any defenses! At that time, as long as we break through Chang'an and rescue the Son of Heaven, we can return to Yanzhou! With the Son of Heaven in the lord's hands, wouldn't it be a step closer to the master's complete mastery?"

CHAPTER 503 - ADVICE FROM XU SHU

Cao Cao couldn't help but be moved by his favorite words. All these years, no matter if it was Dong Zhuo or Luo Yang, the benefits were fully displayed to the people of the world. If Cao Cao Cao did not have this thought in his mind, then he must be lying! However, the question now was whether Cao Cao had the ability to break through the mountain pass and Changan, and then retreat to Yanzhou before Luo Yang's army returned.

With Ma Chao in the lead, the generals all took out their favorite words to refute the opinions of Xun You and the others. For a time, no one was able to convince anyone, and the entire meeting hall was in chaos. Seeing this chaotic scene, Cao Cao felt a headache coming on! Looking at the crowd, his eyes suddenly lit up. Cao Cao quickly shouted: Yuan Zhi! Do you have any objections?

It turned out that amongst the crowd, even the silent Xun Doberman had joined in the argument. Besides Xiahou Tun who was the head of the group of generals, he was the only one who didn't say anything. Hearing Cao Cao's voice, the people in the chamber who were originally arguing all quieted down. Each and every one of them cast their gaze towards the recuperating Xu Shu.

Xu Shu slowly opened his eyes, but he was still smiling as he said to Cao Cao Cao, I wonder what Master wishes this subordinate to say?

Ugh! Xu Shu's retort caused Cao Cao Cao to be at a loss. He looked at Xun and Xun and shook his head. In the end, Cao Cao Cao could only ask again: "I want to ask Yuan Zhi if he has any opinions about the fight between Luo Yang and Sun Jian.

After hearing Cao Cao's question, Xu Shu looked at the surrounding people and indifferently said: Master! Actually, it is already clear what you should do now. Why do you need to ask your subordinate?

Huh? Cao Cao's head was still full of fog. On the contrary, after hearing what Xu Shu had to say, Xun and Xun's eyes suddenly lit up as if they understood something. Cao Cao thought for a moment. In the end, he was certain that his IQ compared to Xu Shu was on a completely different level. He could only bitterly smile and say to Xu Shu: Please enlighten me, Mister!

This time, Xu Shu didn't keep hiding anything, but said with a serious expression: Today, the world is divided into two parts! Luo Yang had the heavenly son order the duke to occupy half of the land! As for the lord and the duke of Guan Dong, they divided up the lands! Five years ago, due to the chaos caused by Ma Teng, the relationship between the West Qin and the Duke of Guan Dong was once so tense. But why did Luo Yang take the initiative to bestow the title of Duke of Guan Dong? There was no other reason but balance! At that time, Luoyang's influence was not enough to pacify the Duke of Guan Dong, so he didn't dare to take up the position of marquis, which was why he came to pacify the Duke of Guan Dong's heart! As for the fact that Master and Duke Guan Dong accepted Luo Yang's bestowment, it is not because they are greedy, but because Guan Dong's power is in equilibrium with the power of the Western Qin, and cannot be broken!

With just a few sentences, Xu Shu pointed out the situation of the forces that year, listening to Cao Cao's and the rest's heads nodding. However, Xu Shu changed the topic and said: And today, Sun Jian is the first to start an army against Jing Prefecture! He realized that Luoyang had once again sent troops to scheme for the east! No matter who won this battle, even if the lord could successfully break through Chang'an and save the Son of Heaven, the balance between the Eastern dukes and the Western Qin would be broken! The momentum of the world was affecting everyone. Once the balance was broken, it would definitely cause all the powers in the world to run for their lives! This subordinate would like to ask Master if you are ready to go against all the heroes of the world and chase away the Central Plains?

This … Cao Cao was silent. He was very clear in his heart that although Cao Cao's forces had been able to recuperate over the past few years, compared to the other dukes around, Cao Cao's strength was not enough to shake the world! If the world were to be thrown into chaos, with the enmity between Cao Cao Cao and Gongsun Zeng, Gongsun Zeng would definitely mobilize his forces against Cao Cao! "At that time, let alone seeking peace, could he defend against Gongsun Zan's attack?

Then, according to Master Xu's meaning, we won't send troops this time around? Sitting next to Xu Shu, Liu Zhuo frowned as he asked this.

NO! Attack! We must send our troops! However, Xu Shu shook his head as a glint of light flashed through his eyes. He said, It's just that the direction in which we are sending our troops in isn't in the direction of Chang'an! According to this subordinate's view, this lord should send troops to Jingzhou to lend a hand to Sun Jian!

The moment the words left Xu Shu's mouth, the several advisors had already understood what Xu Shu meant! Since it was still too early for Cao Cao to start a war, it would be best to maintain the current situation! This way, Sun Jian absolutely could not lose to Luo Yang in this battle! However, with Sun Wu's strength compared to the West Qin, it would be difficult for Sun Jian's abilities to win. The only way was to rely on Cao Cao, who was in the vicinity of Sun Wu, to help!

I understand what you mean! However, if he did that, Sun Jian might not necessarily appreciate it! And that Gongsun Zan, won't he stab us in the back now? In the past, Luoyang relied on Gongsun Zen's restraints to attack Dong Zhuo without any distractions! Although he understood the reasoning behind Xu Shu's words, Cao Cao obviously wasn't interested in such a thankless task!

Xu Shu seemed to have already seen through Cao Cao's thoughts. He shook his head and said, Rest assured, my lord! Don't forget, the last time because of Qingzhou Thorn History post, Gongsun Zan and Luoyang had a falling out, almost did not fall out. As long as the Central Plains is not at war, Gongsun Zeng will not easily send out troops, not to mention helping Luoyang restrain the lord!

What Xu Shu said made a lot of sense. Most of the advisors in the chamber nodded in agreement. There were even many rational generals who all agreed with what Xu Shu had said. Only Ma Chao and the others were still unwilling to accept this. However, they were unable to find any reason to object. All they could do was lower their heads and mutter some incomprehensible words.

Alright! Cao Cao gave a long sigh and made a decision, Since you are so sure, I will do as you say! Let go! This time, the task of assisting Sun Wu will be left to you to handle!

Although Xiahou ton was no longer the most powerful general under Cao Cao's command, in Cao Cao's mind, Xiahou Tun was always his most trustworthy subordinate! Hearing Cao Cao's appointment, Xiahou Tun immediately stood up and cupped his fist towards Cao Cao as he shouted, My lord, please be at ease! Leave this matter to this lowly general!

My lord! At this time, Xun Er said, Don't worry about this matter. After the battle between the Western Qin Army and Sun Wu Army has reached a certain point, it won't be too late for General Xiahou to set off!

Once Xun Yu's suggestion was spoken, Cao Cao Cao immediately guessed what was going on. This was to borrow the power of the Western Qin Army to greatly weaken Sun Wu's strength! Cao Wei and Sun Wu might have to ally, but Cao Wei and Sun Wu would become enemies sooner or later! Naturally, no one wished for their enemies to become strong! Xu Shu also nodded in agreement with Xun Doberman's suggestion. Only then did Cao Cao slap his thigh and say: Okay! Just as Wen Ruoruo had said! Yuan Tong, send more scouts to the south to scout for information. When the time is right, we will support Sun Wu from the south!"

Here! Xiahou Tun's eyes flashed with a strong fighting spirit. He cupped his fists together and shouted loudly.

After giving some instructions, Cao Cao waved his hand, signaling everyone to step down. Following which, with Xiahou Tun leading the group, they all retreated out of the meeting hall. After exiting the meeting room, a group of officials and generals walked out in groups of twos and threes towards the outside of the Wei Hou manor. In the middle of the crowd, Ma Chao's face was filled with unwillingness.

When Xu Shu, who had been walking behind everyone, saw this, the corner of his mouth slightly curled up. He quickly walked behind the two brothers, Ma Chao and Ma Dai, while pampering Liu Ye and Man. Xu Shu cupped his hands and bowed to Ma Chao, saying: General Ma! This humble one has a few words that I would like to discuss with the general. May I have a word with him?

Ma Chao and Ma Dai turned around, and immediately, Ma Chao's face was filled with displeasure. Just now in the meeting hall, it was Xu Shu's suggestion that made Ma Chao's plan to ambush Chang'an was rejected. This was all thanks to the fact that Ma Chao's temper had been quenched a lot in the past few years. If it were the previous Ma Chao, he would definitely punch him!

Finally, beside him, Ma Dai was a meticulous person. When he saw Xu Shu's appearance, Ma Dai immediately pulled on Ma Chao and cupped his fist towards Xu Shu: Of course you can! Lord Xu! Please!" As he spoke, he made a gesture of invitation towards Xu Shu. Ma Dai was very clear that this Xu Shu was Cao Cao's most popular person at the moment. The two brothers didn't have any backing while facing Cao Cao, but they couldn't afford to offend this person!

As for the others, upon seeing the situation, although he was somewhat curious, it was not good for them to lower themselves to eavesdrop. Thus, he could only go his own way.

Arriving at the small courtyard, Ma Chao's heart was extremely unhappy. He glared at Xu Shu and snorted, Alright! Here! If you have something to say, just say it! I still have things to do! Ma Chao's tone was filled with impatience. When Ma Dai saw this, he could only grumble inwardly and feel helpless towards his elder brother.

However, Xu Shu didn't care in the least, he smiled and said: General Ma, I just want to ask, if you want to find Luo Yang for revenge, does this mean that you want to kill your enemy with a single slash, or do you want your enemy to have nothing, experience the suffering of the world, and then die?

Being confused by Xu Shu's words, Ma Chao and Ma Dai didn't understand what Xu Shu meant by saying this. However, Ma Chao still gritted his teeth and snorted, Is there even a need to ask? Naturally, it was to let the enemy experience all the pain in the world before dying! Killing them with a single slash would be letting them off too easily!

Ha ha! Hearing Ma Chao's reply, Xu Shu chuckled and said: Since that's the case, then I will advise the general. This time, why not follow General Xiahou south, and destroy the West Qin operation! If the general's enemy's plan could not be carried out, wouldn't it be even better if he was killed? Hahaha! After saying that, Xu Shu ignored the stunned Ma Chao and Ma Dai brothers. Laughing, he walked away!

CHAPTER 504 - WUNING

There was a small county to the west of the prefectural city of Huichu. During the time of glory and new year, this small county still did not exist. Sun Wu established his county here and named it Wu Ning County. He didn't know if it was because of this name, but since the establishment of this small town, it had been peaceful and safe. Nothing had happened, so it could be considered a peaceful place!

Of course, this was only to say that the officials would add gold to their reputation and increase their own political achievements. In reality, the local citizens were very clear on the fact that there weren't many families within a hundred mile radius of Wu Ning County. There were only a few thousand people in the city. For such a small group of people, even if they wanted something to happen, it would be terrible! The reason for this was that most of the south of the river was still in a semi-pioneering state. The real owners of this area were the people who lived in the deep mountains and forests.

Blackie had lived here for dozens of years. According to him, his family had already moved here from his grandfather's generation! Back in the day when the government was building a county here, Blackie was working as a laborer and carrying stones! Old Hei Zi once said that in Wu Ning County, there was nothing that he didn't know!

No one knew if Old Black had been bragging or not, and no one would go and ask. Old Blackie used to work at the yamen in the county city. Later on, when he was old, he retired and sent his son, Little Blackie, to the yamen to pick up his shift. In this small Wu Ning County, old Blackie could be considered an official figure! Walking on the road, everyone who saw him would call him Old Black Lord! Every time a new county magistrate took office, they would have to treat Blackie to a meal as a form of friendship!

However, Blackie had never used his status to cause trouble in the county city. Ever since he had retired from the yamen, Blackie would hold his hands behind his back and wander a few rounds in the streets or listen to books in teahouses on the streets.

Old Blackie was no exception this afternoon as he strutted down the street with his hands behind his back. Although old Blackie was almost sixty years old, his legs were no weaker than a young man's. When he walked, he still retained the same majestic aura he had when he was working at the yamen.

Yo! Old Black Lord! Are you out for a stroll today? Old Black Lord! Aren't you going to listen to a book today? Old Black Lord! How's your body?

As they walked along the street, the neighbors all greeted Blackie. Blackie also waved his hands in response to them. His demeanor was so great that even the county magistrate wouldn't be able to match up to him. Old Blackie smiled as he strolled along the streets, pondering if his son would hit a bird or something at some point. He heard that some of the nobles in the large city liked to wander the streets holding a bird cage.

Just as he was thinking, Blackie's eyes suddenly lit up. He saw his son Blackie walking hurriedly in front of him. Wasn't that his son, Blackie? Immediately, Blackie waved his hand and shouted towards his son, Blackie! You stinking brat, come over here!"

To be able to attract an official to his side on this street, this wasn't something that just anyone could do! Feeling the gazes from the surroundings, Blackie felt extremely pleased with himself. When Hei Zi heard his father's shout, although he felt helpless and embarrassed, he could only run over to Old Hei Zi's side and say, Father! Why did you call me?

Stinking brat! Old Blackie didn't seem to care about his son's face at all. He slapped the back of his son's head and scolded, Have your wings grown harder? Are you thinking of flying? Ah? Didn't I just call you? You dare to give your father face? Do you really think laozi can't control you? "

He had been slapped for no reason and even cursed at the same time. Hei Zi's dark face, which was rumored to have been passed down from his grandfather's grandfather, immediately turned even darker. However, he still couldn't lose his temper at his father, so he could only suppress his temper and say: Father! How could I give you face! I'm in a hurry to do some official business!

Go! Old Blackie glared with his old eyes and snorted, What nonsense is this official business!? Do you think I've never been a bad boy before? How much official business could this Wu Ning City have? Stinking brat! You actually dare to lie to me? "

Blackie even had the urge to cry, but the task of doing so was a secret. Even if Blackie was his father, he couldn't say it! He could only bitterly smile and say, Father! I'm really going on official business! There are a lot of people here, so it's not convenient for me to talk about some things. That's it! After saying that, Hei Zi ran off without even looking back!

However, this time, Blackie did not continue to throw a tantrum. From Blackie's appearance, it was likely that something really happened. Having been in the yamen for so many years, Blackie was still able to distinguish between official and private matters. Although Blackie was still cursing, he did not stop his son from doing business.

However, this matter had always remained in Blackie's mind. Blackie couldn't understand why Wu Ning City, which was only such a small place, would have such serious business and cause his son to become so nervous. As he thought, Blackie also walked forward. Unknowingly, Blackie had already reached the city gate.

Although this Wu Ning City was small, it still had some basic defensive measures. A few soldiers were standing at the city gates, occasionally inspecting the people who passed through the city gates. When the soldiers saw that Blackie had arrived, they too started laughing. One of them shouted at Blackie, Old Blackie! How come you're free to come here today? Don't you usually go to the yamen to look around? "

You little rascal! Do you even care about me? Only now did Blackie realize that he had unknowingly made it to the city gate. However, it was too much for Old Blackie to say that he was just thinking of something. His face turned slightly red as he scolded with a stern face. He snorted, I'm here in place of the county magistrate to see if you guys are lazy!"

Hahahaha! Hearing that Old Blackie was obviously bragging, the soldiers also laughed out loud. Everyone was talking to each other, but they were all happily chatting with Old Blackie. The sky was getting dark, and there was nothing to do at the city gate. Everyone had nothing to do. After chatting for nearly an hour, Blackie raised his head and realized that it was about time for dinner. Blackie decided to turn around and leave. The soldiers also looked at the sky and started to shut the doors.

At this moment, the sound of a series of horse hooves came from outside the city, causing the soldiers who were about to close the door to jump in fright. The soldiers all looked out of the city. However, it was getting dark outside. Even if they wanted to, they couldn't see anything. The sound of the horses' hooves was getting closer!

Old Dark Lord, what do you think happened? Although they were all just making fun of Blackie for bragging, now that something really happened, these soldiers were subconsciously asking for help from the experienced Blackie.

However, even though Old Blackie had been poor all his life, he had never gotten involved in such a thing. He frowned as he looked outside the city, tilted his head, and thought for a moment before saying, Who knows what kind of powerful officials are from up there! Hurry up and open the gates to welcome the lord into the city! And you, go to the city and find the county magistrate! Get him to come out and greet our esteemed guest! With Wu Ning City's current situation, the County Magistrate of Wu Ning City was naturally one of the lowest level officials. Even if it was just some random cat or dog, it was still a few levels higher than the County Magistrate! In Old Hei Zi's mind, as long as it was an official who came from the outside, he would definitely be stronger than this Wu Ning City's Supreme Guard!

Hearing Blackie's analysis, the soldiers tilted their heads and thought: That's right! Following Blackie's suggestion, the city gates were first opened, then someone was sent to look for the county magistrate. As for Blackie, he was in no hurry to return after giving guidance to these soldiers. He was filled with interest towards this incoming official and wanted to stay and see how he looked like.

Everyone, including Blackie, was very nervous as they heard the sound of the horse's hooves getting closer and closer. They wondered who the high-ranking officials would be this time around. Just as everyone was feeling nervous, a figure rushed over from the direction of the city. It was none other than the son of Blackie, who was serving at the yamen!

Hei Zi saw the city gate open from afar and immediately became angry and alarmed. He ran over quickly and shouted, Damn it! You bastards! Who told you to open the gate? Who told you to open the gate? Hurry up and close the door! Close it!"

Ugh! Everyone, including Blackie, was confused by Blackie's words. Didn't Blackie say just now that he would open the city gates to welcome the distinguished guests? Why did Blackie have to close the city gate now? Who should they listen to from?

Old Blackie clearly felt that his authority had been provoked. He jumped up and pointed at Blackie as he scolded, You stinking brat! What did he just say? Ah? Damn it!" It was obvious that swearing a few times still couldn't dispel the anger in his heart. He simply swung his palm and heavily landed on Blackie's face. In the blink of an eye, a bright red handprint appeared on Blackie's face!

Blackie didn't even dare to fart after receiving such a slap from his father. Yet, Blackie was still somewhat angry! He was just pointing at Blackie, who was jumping up and down and cursing him. If it was any other time, Blackie might have just allowed his own father to scold him when he saw how infuriated he was. But today, Blackie's face was full of anxiety as he said to Blackie, Dad! Father! I understand all these principles! Forget it, you should just wait for me to deal with this city gate.

CHAPTER 505 - COUNTY ORDER

What are you all still doing there? Quickly close the city gates! It was an enemy attack! Enemy attack! After dealing with his father, Blackie immediately ran to the front of the soldiers at the city gate and jumped up, shouting curses at them.

Enemy attack! This term was simply too unfamiliar to the people of Wu Ning City. So much so that when the soldiers heard Hei Zi's words, they were dumbfounded, unable to make the correct response. Hearing the sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer to the city, Hei Zi simply rushed to the city gate by himself and pushed it open with all his might. However, although this city gate of Wu Ning City was not comparable to the other cities, it was not something that Blackie could lock himself up. Even though Blackie had been pushing the city gate for a long time, the city gate remained unmoving.

Humph! This caused Hei Zi's entire body to involuntarily shiver. When he looked up, he didn't know when, but a silver-armored general had appeared in front of him, holding a silver spear and pointing it at Hei Zi's head!

Looking at the spearhead that flashed with a cold light stopping right in front of his eyes, and the cold gaze of the silver-armored general, Blackie's legs instantly went weak, and he fell to the ground, paralyzed. He opened his mouth and his tongue kept on trembling as he muttered something, unable to utter a single word; all he could do was watch in despair as more and more cavalrymen appeared behind the silver-armored general, at the city gate.

Zhao Yun smiled coldly and swept his gaze over the people at the city gate's entrance. He could immediately tell that these soldiers posed no threat to him! Not to mention the fact that the city gate was not closed yet, even if the city gate was closed, it would be effortless for Zhao Yun to break into the small city guarded by these people! Zhao Yun immediately put away his silver spear and shouted to the Rising Blade Light Cavalry behind him, Charge into the city! Take down the county magistrate of this county! Remember, if the other party does not resist, do not harm their lives!

Behind Zhao Yun, the Raging Blade Cavalry immediately complied. Countless cavalrymen rushed into the city, scaring the guards at the city gates into fleeing to the sides. For these people fighting amongst themselves, they had never seen anything like this. Zhao Yun then turned around and shouted at the little soldier who was trying to close the city gates, Speak! How many soldiers and horses are there in your city? What kind of person is the general?

Blackie was already scared to the point that his legs turned soft. How could he answer? Seeing Zhao Yun's increasingly cold expression, Blackie, who was beside him, immediately pounced on his son. Although Blackie usually would beat and scold his son, he was still his own son. Seeing that his son was about to be in trouble, Blackie would of course be worried! As he shielded his son with his body, Blackie cried out to Zhao Yun, General! General! He didn't know, but this little old man knew! This little old man knows! General, let him go! Please, General!" As he wailed, Blackie actually knelt down towards Zhao Yun and kowtowed continuously, begging for forgiveness.

Zhao Yun frowned. Looking at this old man kowtowing to him, Zhao Yun felt a little annoyed. He immediately shouted, Enough! Stop crying! As long as you can answer my question! I won't hurt you! Get up!

Zhao Yun's words were like the sound of nature to Old Blackie and the others. Old Blackie kowtowed to Zhao Yun a few more times before standing up with a humble expression and saying, General! There were a total of 2100 families in Wu Ning County, 5,030 people! Including Xiao Budian, there were only 175 people defending the city! The County Magistrate is Official Lu who just arrived last year! " Old Hei Zi usually talked about how he understood Wu Ning City, but from the looks of it, he was not bragging. Old Hei Zi was actually bragging about Wu Ning City's situation.

Surname Lu? Hearing Blackie's reply, Zhao Yun frowned. To be able to hold an official position in the river east and even be surnamed Lu, could he be a disciple of the river east Lu family? Immediately, Zhao Yun's eyes turned cold. Back then, when Sun Jian ambushed Jiang Dong, he relied on the help of these aristocratic families to not have any good impression of the Jiang Dong family. Zhao Yun immediately shouted, Is this Lu magistrate a disciple of the Wu County's Lu Family?

Zhao Yun's question had truly troubled old Blackie. Old Blackie was very clear about the matters of Wu Ning City, but he was just a small town's old man; how could he know anything about the Jiang Dong Aristocrat Clan? Immediately, he revealed a troubled expression and said: About this, about this, General, I only know that Lord Lu is very young and was arranged by the higher-ups. As for whether he is a member of the Lu family, I do not know! Please forgive me, General! " As he spoke, afraid that Zhao Yun would be displeased, he immediately kowtowed again.

Fortunately, Zhao Yun did not expect such a commoner to know so much. He immediately brandished his silver spear and shouted, Enough! If I don't kill you, all of you can leave! Remember! You will all stay at home obediently! Don't move! Otherwise, don't blame me for losing your life!

Old Blackie and the others did not expect Zhao Yun to let them go so easily. They were stunned for a moment before they were immediately overjoyed and started kowtowing towards Zhao Yun. However, Zhao Yun was too lazy to bother with them anymore. With one look, he could tell that these people were no different from ordinary people. Without proper military training, ordinary people would not be able to pose much of a threat even if they were fully armed! Zhao Yun immediately pulled on the reins and galloped into the city. As for the city gate, there were naturally guards under their command, so there shouldn't be any problems!

Everything was as Blackie had said. The entire Wu Ning City only had a little over five thousand people, but this time, Zhao Yun had brought over two thousand Light Cavalry! Within a short period of time, Zhao Yun had controlled the entire Wu Ning City. In less than an hour, Zhao Yun was already sitting high up in the main hall of Wu Ning City. In front of Zhao Yun stood a young man wearing an official's robe. Looking at the appearance of the young man, the corner of his mouth held a smile, and he didn't seem the slightest bit worried or scared.

This young man was Wu Ning City's County Magistrate. Previously, Rising Blade had listened to Zhao Yun's orders to control the entire city, but he had run into this County Magistrate at the County Magistrate's entrance. However, what surprised those light riders was that the magistrate did not seem to be surprised or frightened by the sudden appearance of the light rider, let alone resisting it. He extended his hands in a coordinated manner and let the light rider grab him. According to Zhao Yun's previous orders, since the other party had no intentions of resisting, that Raging Blade Light Cavalry did not harm him and instead locked him up. After Zhao Yun arrived at the county magistrate's office and heard his subordinate's report, he was quite curious about this strange magistrate and directly ordered his subordinates to bring him here.

When the magistrate faced Zhao Yun, he did not look the least bit worried. Instead, he smiled and said, If my guess is not wrong, the general should be His Highness Duke of Qin's general, General Zhao Zhao! I never thought that even when your troop was attacking such a small county, you would still have to send out a powerful general like General Zhao! "

However, Zhao Yun's frown deepened. He was now certain that this County Magistrate was one of the Wu County's Lu Family's disciples! If it was an ordinary kid from the Humble Class, how could he have such knowledge? Zhao Yun immediately scoffed: You are a disciple of the Lu Family? What is his relationship with the Lu Family's Patriarch?

As if he had already guessed that Zhao Yun would ask such a question, the county magistrate cupped his hands with a smile and said, My surname is Lu Mingxun and I am now the Lu Family's Patriarch!

Lu Xun's answer gave Zhao Yun a big shock. However, Zhao Yun quickly recovered his indifference and smacked the table with his fist: You are simply speaking nonsense! What kind of big family was the Wu County Lu Family? You, a mere junior, actually dare to claim to be the head of the Lu family? I can see that you won't shed tears until you've seen the coffin. You have to taste a whip before you're willing to speak the truth!"

But Lu Xun shrugged his shoulders and said, General Zhao! My words are true. The Wu County Lu family may have been prominent back then, but now it is just a small family that is struggling at death's door! If I were to impersonate them, why not impersonate the Zhu and Zhang Clans? Furthermore, the Jiang Dong Family has enmity with the Qin Wang. What good is it for you to pretend to be the head of the Lu Family?

Hearing Lu Xun's rhetorical question, Zhao Yun didn't know how to answer it. A doubtful expression appeared on his face and he stared at Lu Xun intently, Are you really the Lu Family's Patriarch? Why would the Lu family have a young master like you as their master?

Hearing Zhao Yun's question, the smile on Lu Xun's face dimmed, revealing a little loneliness. He said with a wry smile, The Lu Family today is no longer the Lu Family of the past! Ever since Sun Jian had taken over Jiang Dong, his ancestor Cong Jian had passed away in sickness, and his uncle Kang Gong had taken over the position of head of the family. Originally, I thought that after the Duke of Qin's army leaves, Jiang Dong would become one of us. However, I never thought that Sun Jian's scheme would be even bigger, and he actually instigated all of my Jiang Dong's families to fight each other. Duke Kang was also killed by Sun Jian's scheme two years ago! Helpless, I can only accept the position of the Lu Family's Patriarch!

Lu Xun seemed to have figured out the crux of the problem long ago and didn't have any intention of hiding anything. With just a few words, he told Zhao Yun everything that had happened. Moreover, from Lu Xun's words, Zhao Yun could tell that Lu Xun was very dissatisfied with Sun Jian! Zhao Yun snorted coldly in his heart. Back then, the Jiang Dong family had betrayed Luo Yang, and they thought that they could regain their power. Who would have thought that they would be toyed with by Sun Jian. Just how awe-inspiring was the Lu family back then? He actually ended up like this. It was truly a retribution!

If Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, and the others were here, they probably would've killed Lu Xun without a word and avenged Liu Xiang, who had died in Wu County! He narrowed his eyes and looked at Lu Xun. Zhao Yun thought to himself, if what Lu Xun said was true, then this Lu Xun would be of great benefit to the Qin army's attack on Jiang Dong!

CHAPTER 506 - PROBING

Hm! Is that really what that Lu
