Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 557 Assassination

The post station is brightly lit.

"This battle armor looks good!"

Mu Jing knelt before the desk, staring at a pair of battle armor on the desk.

The battle armor is silvery white, thin and light, like feathers one by one. The most important thing is that the various parts seem to be glued together, and the joints seem to be very coherent. At least the casting method he has seen so far cannot make it. Such armor.

"It is said that the Yue family has a pair of precious armor, which is the flying feather armor of the parachutist Li Guang!" The county magistrate Kou Yu knelt beside him, cupped his hands and said, "It should be this thing!"

Since ancient times, when marching and fighting, three treasures are carried with you. One is a horse, the other is a weapon, and the third is a battle armor. The famous generals in history all have their own famous weapons and battle armor. The parachutist Li Guang was also a famous general in the Han Dynasty. The Ten Thousand Stone Bow Flying Feather Armor is also quite famous.

"Flying feather armor?"

Mu Jing weighed the weight, and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth: "It's really as light as a feather, I don't know if it looks practical!"

"My lord, don't underestimate this flying feather armor!"

Huo Yu stood at the side, took a step forward, bowed his hands, and said in a deep voice: "I heard about this thing in a journal. It is said that the flying feather armor can block the arrows shot by a five-stone bow within three steps, and it can fly even faster. The feather is as light as a feather, and the parachutist Li Guang was undefeated in the battlefield, it has made great achievements!"

"However, after Li Guang's death, the Li family fell, and the whereabouts of the Wanshi bow and the flying feather armor are unknown!"

"I didn't expect to see the flying feather armor here!"

Huo Yu sighed: "I don't know how he got into the hands of a little Yue family!"

"I checked the county records. The Yue family only moved here after Emperor Guangwu restored the Han Dynasty. It is rumored that the Yue family participated in the ransacking of Wang Mang's home in Chang'an back then. They got such a treasure and have always regarded it as a family heirloom!"

"Oh!"

Mu Jing's eyes brightened: "Such a treasure must have been hard-won for the Yue family's inheritance. They gave it to me overnight. What's their intention?"

The Yue family who was still hostile to him during the day.

Change your attitude before the day passes?
It's a bit weird!
"Junhou, I heard that it seems that Yue Shu, the chief bookkeeper, preached to Yue He and convinced Yue He. He not only cooperated with Junhou's spring plowing, but also sent this battle armor, meaning to make amends! " Kou Yu said.

"apologize?"

Mu Jing shook his head: "No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like an apology, this Yue Shu is a bit interesting!"

He stared at the armor.

The thoughts in his heart moved slightly, and he muttered to himself: Battle armor, battle armor, the purpose of armor is undoubtedly for protection. He is reminding someone, do you want to protect yourself?
This Yueshu is getting more and more interesting!

"It's been so long since I've been in Fangling, it seems like I haven't seen this Yue Shu before!"

Mujing Road.

"My lord wants to summon this person?" Huo Yu was worried: "Jing Wusi has already verified that this person may have some ulterior motives, so we must guard against it!"

"It's okay!"

Mu Jing waved his hand: "Magistrate Kou, let him come to see me at the station tomorrow morning!"

"promise!"

Kou Yu cupped his hands and nodded to accept the order.

…………

……

the next morning.

Early in the morning, outside the post station, a man wearing the robe of the head of the county government stood in the cool breeze, calmly waiting for the call from the people inside the post station.

"Master Yue, my lord welcomes you!"

"Thank you, Master Huo!"

Yue Shu cupped his hands in salute.

"Master Yue is well-informed!" Huo Yu smiled slightly.

"What is Mr. Huo talking about? No one knows, no one knows. Mr. Huo has been with Junhou for a long time, and he is the most trusted confidant of Junhou. In the future, Mr. Huo will be promoted!" Yue Shu complimented Said.

"Master Yue is not as taciturn as others describe him!"

Huo Yu looked at Yue Shu with his eyes, he was under 30 years old, he was in his prime, he looked a bit bookish, but he didn't look like a gloomy person.

"Master Huo was joking!"

Yue Shu's face was calm.

The two walked through the corridor, entered the archway, and walked through the archway before entering the main hall. Above the main hall, Mu Jing was dressed in white. It wasn't that he loved white robes, but wearing white Confucian robes made him feel a little handsome.

"Subordinate Fangling County Yamen Master Book, Yue Shu, pay homage to the Lord!"

Yue Shu stepped forward and bowed his hands in salute.

"Sit!" Mu Jing waved his hand, then pointed to a seat next to him.

"promise!"

Yue Shu stood up, walked over, sat down, his body was straight, a little bit nervous, the eyes from the corners of his brows inadvertently skipped, wanting to take a look at this curious boy without attracting attention.

"Master Yue..."

"Your Majesty, your subordinate is Zhongxu!"

"Zhongxu, good word, so I'll call you Zhongxu. I heard that you persuaded Yue He, the head of the Yue family, to let the Yue family's tenants cooperate with Fangling's farming plan. Is there such a thing?"

Mu Jing asked.

"Report to the lord, my brother is confused, cares about his own family, and doesn't understand the heart of a lord. I should explain the meaning of a lord to my elder brother. The lord is dedicated to the life and death of the people in my Fangling. How can my Yue family stand by and watch!" Yue Shu replied, The sound is squishy.

"Very good, finally there is an enlightened person in the Yue family!"

The corner of Mu Jing's mouth raised a smile, which was a bit treacherous, which made Yue Shu a little frightened.

Yue Shu originally thought that his heart was big enough, but when faced with this young man who seemed to be far younger than him, he still couldn't help but sighed inwardly and said: It is indeed a fire that burned Luoyang City , a hero who forcibly escaped from the siege of Guanzhong should not be despised just because of his age.

"What about the flying feather armor?" Mu Jing asked.

"Since ancient times, good generals have been equipped with good armor. The safety of the king and marquis is the safety of Hanzhong. How can a king fight on the battlefield for many years without a protective armor? The Yue family is a small family, and there is no treasure to give to the king. This is the only thing that can be sold. Also, please don't dislike him, Junhou!"

"Flying Feather Armor, the precious armor of the parachutist in the past, I dare not dislike it!"

Mu Jing squinted his eyes, and he looked at Yue Shu again, the more he looked at it, the more treacherous it was inside, he thought for a while, and said: "It's just that I am in the midst of thousands of armies, how dare a little boy dare to treat me Do it, this armor is in my hands, what a pity!"

"No!"

Yue Shu said with a serious face: "What Junhou said, I dare not agree with it. Yan doesn't know the insidiousness of thieves. If some people are in trouble with Junhou, Junhou can guard against open swords, but it is difficult to guard against hidden arrows. There is a master who is good at using the sword. He can use the sword as an arrow, and he can use his qi to control his decree. The first floor of the Junhou is in danger, please accept it with a smile!"

"Oh!"

Mu Jing's eyes flickered with brilliance: "There are still such masters in the world!"

"Your Majesty, now that you are the master of Hanzhong, you must guard against it. There are many rangers in the Southwest. It is inevitable that some people will not obey the rules of the Lord. You must not underestimate some people!" Yue Shu said.

"I understand that!"

Mu Jing nodded, his eyes burst into a meaningful light, stared at Yue Shu, and said: "You are not bad, stay here and give up your talents, how about it, I will entrust you to control the spring plowing in Fangling. If the matter is done well, you will resign and go to Nanzheng to find me, if the matter goes wrong, where did you come from, go back where you are!"

"Thank you my lord!"

Yue Shu came over, bowed his head, kowtow respectfully.

The title of Junhou is the title of Minghou. Marquis is noble, and first-class Marquis is rare in the world. Since ancient times, it has been like a monarch, and Junhou is an honorary title.

And the lord, that is the title of surrender and acknowledgment of the lord.

"Go down!" Mu Jing waved his hand.

"Subordinates retire!"

Yue Shu stood up, clasped his hands in salute, then turned and left. When he left, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"and many more!"

"My lord, do you have any orders!"

"Tomorrow at noon, I will leave Fangling, take Chidao, pass Guanling, and go north. I will walk the road leading to Mianshui!"

"My subordinates understand!"

Yue Shu paused for a moment, feeling cold in his heart, and hastily cupped his hands.

At this moment, he was very grateful for his choice.

Those people really can't make a big deal.

If he had chosen the way of the Heavenly Master, he might be buried with some people.

After he left, Huo Yu said to Mu Jing: "My lord, I heard that this person is quite connected with the remnants of the Heavenly Master, how can you trust him so much?"

"He's surrendering, didn't you hear that?"

Mu Jing picked up a cup of tea in his hand, took a sip, and then said.

"Surrender?" Huo Yu couldn't hear it.

popping.

Mu Jing clapped his hands.

"My lord!" Zhang Huo walked out from the screen and bowed his hands.

"Uncle Huo, in the southwest, I heard that there are rangers who are good at controlling swords with Qi!"

Mu Jing asked.

"Using the power to control the sword, the Taoists have this martial skill, but it has been lost for many years. I heard that the great virtuous master said that an elder of the Tianshi Tao used to know it, but he should have died. Isn't he dead? ?”

"who is it?"

"I don't know the name, but it's just rumored that Tianshidao called him Elder Yin!"

"Elder Yin?"

The corner of Mujing's mouth twitched, and he said jokingly: "It seems that this sect has a profound background, why is there no endless masters in the Taiping Dao, and you are the only one who comes and goes, and you can't beat Huang Zhong. It seems that it was the Yellow Turban Uprising back then. Let the foundation of Taipingdao be exhausted!"

"Humph!"

Zhang Huo snorted coldly: "My lord, don't underestimate the Dao of Taiping. If it wasn't for Chu Feiyan who seized power back then, I, a Taiping warrior, even after the pain of being suppressed by the Yellow Turban, there are many masters. It's just that most of the masters are now under Chu Feiyan's command. !"

Taiping Dao and Tianshi Dao are both giants in the Taoist sect. As far as the world of knight-errants is concerned, they are definitely one side. There are as many people practicing martial arts in the sect, and there are endless masters. Otherwise, where would Fang Qushuai be?

"Is there any investigation into the origin of Yue Shu?" Mu Jing asked Huo Yu instead of discussing the matter with Zhang Huo.

He always felt that although Yue Shu seemed to have betrayed the way of the heavenly master and surrendered to himself, he must have hidden something and didn't say anything.

No matter how he looks at this person, he is a talent, but a talent can be used, but he can also hurt himself.

"I'll arrange for someone to check it out immediately!"

"Keep it secret, don't let people notice, if there are any unexpected gains, don't scare the snake!"

"promise!"

Huo Yu nodded.

"My lord, you just told him the journey and time of your return, didn't you..." Huo Yu suddenly heard what Mu Jing said just now when he called Yue Shu to stop.

They did not return to Shangyong the same way.

Going north is the road.

Before returning to Nanzheng, Mujing had one more thing to do, which was to visit the Mianshui River and open up the Mianshui Waterway. This would be the second avenue connecting Nanyang to Hanzhong besides the Dongshan Plank Road.

Mu Jing had already planned this matter, but he just didn't have time to pay attention to it.

Now it's time to drop by, so go check it out.

This is unknown, but Mu Jing told Yue Shu directly.

"Without bait, how can fish take the bait!"

Mu Jing was indifferent, as if he was talking about fishing seriously.

…………

……

The next day.

noon.

Mu Jing rode his horse, left the city under the protection of internal and external guards, and headed north.

March for half a day to Guanling.

Guanling is a mountain, and the roads are different, you need to walk the mountain road, the mountain is quite rugged, the army is lined up, four people are not allowed to pass, at most three people walk side by side, the team suddenly becomes like a long dragon.

In the woods, more than a dozen men in Taoist robes gathered together.

"It seems that Yue Shu's news is true at all. They really took the northern line. If we ambushed on the road of Shangyong, I am afraid there is no hope. We have wronged him for letting the Yue family obey the intention of the herder. He is looking for news for us!"

The old man in Taoist robe shook his eyes, looked at the shadow on the rugged mountain road, and said in a deep voice.

"Elder, do you want to do it?"

A middle-aged man in Taoist robe asked with his hands clasped.

"hold on!"

The old man in the Taoist robe said: "When Yang Ang leads his troops to make a surprise attack, we will take action!"

This is a mountain road, the mountain road is long, and the march remains the same, if there is a surprise attack by soldiers, the only thing is to concentrate on the front and back, and then they will make a move, and they will succeed in one blow.

"Let Yang Ang do it immediately!"

"Yes!"

A young man clasped his hands, moved lightly, and skipped between the mountains and forests.

A mountain stream.

Yang Ang led three thousand troops, quietly waiting for news.

At this moment, there was grief and indignation on his face. Since breaking out of Hanzhong, he had no news of avenging Zhang Lu. He wanted to lead his troops back to Yizhou, but before he could make a move, someone had already come to his door up.

A master of the Heavenly Master way, among thousands of troops, taking his head is as easy as flipping the palm of your hand.

He had been prepared to fight on the battlefield. He had no regrets about his death, but he could not let the Yang family be wiped out by the rules of the Heavenly Master. In this battle, he had to follow orders and lead the remnant soldiers he had escaped from Hanzhong from Daba Mountain to Fangling Here comes.

Although he didn't know how these elders of the Celestial Master Way knew of Mu Jing's whereabouts, but if he had the chance, he would not hesitate to give it a go. If he could kill Mu Jing, it would be considered a good thing.

"General, Elder Yin has an order, do it immediately!" A young man leaped forward and issued the military order arrogantly.

"As ordered!"

Yang Ang bowed his hand and took the order.

Gritting his teeth, he led the army straight out, left the mountain stream, and entered the mountain path from the left. Less than 100 meters ahead, he had already seen the trail of Mu Jun. He jumped on his horse and shouted loudly: "Er Lang Let's kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

Thousands of remnants fought fiercely.

"Enemy attack!"

"alert!"

"Jingping's army formation, line up vertically and horizontally!"

The soldiers of Shuofang Battalion in the outer area quickly reacted. Shuofang Battalion is the most defensive fighting force in Jingping Army, not to mention Jingping Battalion, the Fifth Battalion, which claims to be unparalleled in attack, can't match them in defense.

The outer shields are stacked on top of each other, and the triple shield protects them, which stabilizes the battle situation all at once.

"My lord, it's Yang Ang's remnant soldiers!"

A military marquis quickly rode his horse into the center, and reported to Mu Jing, "The captain is leading the troops to resist, but there is no way to deploy an army formation here!"

"This fish really took the bait, well done!"

When Mu Jing heard this, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

He just wanted to catch a few small fish, but he didn't expect to catch a big fish. This Yang Ang, General Zhang Lu, who broke through the siege in the past, was a time bomb to him, but he went south, and his foundation Unstable and hard to chase.

Now it's delivered to your door.

This is good news.
