The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 711 The mastermind behind the scenes
A ray of cold light pierced over, carrying an incomparably decisive murderous intent.

A ferocious face was exposed under the helmet, and the strike was swift and fierce without any muddle. Obviously, he had undergone professional assassination training and tried to kill him with one blow.

Lu Bu, who was looking down the city, caught a glimpse of the dagger out of the corner of his eye. Years of experience in fighting made him react instantly, and he retreated sharply, trying to avoid the blow.

But when he was retreating, Lu Bu found that Little Bell was rushing towards him recklessly, as if he wanted to stand in front of him, using his petite body to block the fatal blow.

Silly daughter!

Lu Bu's eyes were flushed, and the emotion in his heart couldn't be added.

It takes a lot of courage to let a little girl risk her life!

Lu Bu, who had already avoided the danger, had no choice but to forcefully step forward. If he didn't go, Little Bell would really be stabbed to death by this dagger.

He will never allow the tragedy of his previous life to repeat itself!

Stepping forward, Lu Bu embraced his daughter's back with his left hand, covered the back of her head with his right hand, hugged her in his arms, and forcibly pulled the little bell back from the brink of death.

The sharp dagger pierced the sleeve robe, and cut a deep bloody gash on Lu Bu's arm, and the blood dripped to the ground.

Lu Bu didn't care about the pain in his arm, he looked down at the daughter in his arms, and asked in a worried tone, "Little Bell, are you alright?"

Little Bell raised her head, she was obviously very happy to see her father was fine.When seeing the blood dripping from Lu Bu's arm, the little bell's voice was full of panic: "Daddy, you are hurt!"

The daughter was fine, and a big stone fell in Lu Bu's heart. She smiled at her daughter and signaled that there is no need to worry: "It's okay, it's just a small injury!"

The assassin failed to succeed with one blow, and while he was horrified by Lu Bu's agility, a flash of resentment flashed in his eyes, and he rushed over again.

The assassination just now was only in an instant, lightning and flint.

Many people failed to react. Now that the assassin is still ruthless, Ma Chao and others will naturally not allow him to do so. He and Sun Ce drew short knives from the waists of the soldiers next to them and dropped them at the same time.

Seeing this, the assassin growled 'Damn', and had to retreat to keep the arm holding the dagger.

The officials at this time had also reacted and shouted loudly: "There are assassins, escort! Escort!"

The imperial guards quickly moved closer and shrunk into a circular fan shape, firmly protecting the emperor in the center.Hearing the shouts, the soldiers on the tower rushed to capture and kill the assassin.

Seeing many soldiers approaching, the assassin knew that his plan had failed, so he hurriedly retreated, wanting to escape from here.

However, Ma Chao cut off his retreat first, and Sun Ce also attacked from the front.

Unable to advance or retreat, the assassin was forced to fight.

In terms of strength, fighting alone is not a match between two people, let alone two people teaming up, within twenty rounds, the assassin has already had five or six wounds on his body.

"Don't kill him, capture him alive!"

Lv Bu issued an order in a cold voice. If he hadn't been quick to respond, he might have become a ray of dead souls on Huangquan Road by now.

He wants to see who is planning all this behind the scenes.

Hearing this, the assassin simply turned his heart and rushed to kill at the risk of his life.

On the other hand, Ma Chao, Sun Ce, and all the soldiers, because of Lu Bu's order, did not dare to kill the killer, and their hands were restrained.

Who would have thought that taking advantage of this opportunity, he would be killed by assassins all the way to the edge of the city wall and stand against the wall.

But at this time, he was already at the end of his strength, his body was covered in blood, and he no longer had the strength to fight.

The soldiers gathered around and stepped forward. The panting assassin knew that his chances were slim. He glanced back at the city, discarded his dagger, and looked at Lu Bu over there, his face full of violence. It’s God’s will to miss you! In the future, someone will take your head for me!”

After finishing speaking, the assassin jumped forward, raised his head and fell straight down from the tower.

Sun Ce hurriedly wanted to reach out to grab it, but it was too late.

boom!
There was a muffled sound.

Sun Ce and others on the city tower rushed to the edge of the city wall, and looked down with their probes. The assassin's head touched the ground first, and he couldn't die anymore.

Failed to catch the assassin, Sun Ce and Ma Chao came to Lu Bu, clasped their fists guiltily, and reported, "My lord, I was incompetent and caused the assassin to fall into the city and die."

At this time, the doctor who was treating Lu Bu's arm was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Dear Sima, this thief actually poisoned the dagger! There are so many people here that it is not convenient for diagnosis and treatment. Please go back to your home, and the villain will do it for you." Clean the wound."

Hearing this, Lu Bu's eyes became colder and colder.

All the people present did not dare to breathe, for fear of causing trouble to the upper body.

Lu Bu's eyes swept across the emperor's officials, as well as those foreign envoys.

What happened today was clearly planned.

Who is it that desperately wants his own life?

Lu Bu was suspicious all the time, but he didn't say anything, he just said "return to the mansion" coldly, and took his three children down the tower.

A good military parade, no one expected that it would end in this way.

Although Lu Bu didn't say anything, everyone knew that this matter would not come to an end so easily.

Back at the mansion, the doctor carefully cleaned Lu Bu's wound and bandaged it repeatedly. Fortunately, the poison did not enter the bone, so there was no danger of his life.

It only takes a good rest for a period of time, and it can be restored to its original state.

Lu Bu waved his hand and told the doctor to go down.

Not long after, Xie Ce, who was recuperating at home, came to see him.

After entering the hall, the drama got straight to the point: "General, I heard that you were injured when you were assassinated?"

"Mr. Lao is concerned, but you are just a bunch of idiots!"

Lu Bu seemed to be speaking in a calm manner, with suppressed irritability in his heart.I thought that the forces in Guanzhong that opposed me had been wiped out, but I didn't expect that there were still fish that slipped through the net.

Xi Ce coughed slightly and asked, "Do you know who ordered it?"

Lu Bu shook his head. On the way back, he also thought about it carefully, and really couldn't think of who would kill him at this time.

"Don't worry, sir, I have issued an order to the school affairs office. Even if the entire Guanzhong is turned upside down, I must find out who is manipulating the mastermind behind the scenes!"

Lu Bu's attitude was firm. For this kind of thing, if there is one, there will be another, and there must be no appeasement.

Xi Ce nodded approvingly, and he also had a different opinion on this matter.

"General, after last year's suppression and censorship, the Guanzhong aristocratic families are now treading on thin ice, and they shouldn't jump out so stupidly, could it be..."

The following words were not finished, but Lu Bu understood what he meant.

In today's court, most of them are Lu Bu's henchmen, and the remaining few are basically nothing to worry about.To put it bluntly, it is none of your business.

If it wasn't for them, then in this city of Chang'an, those who dared to do something to themselves would probably have only the last possibility left.

Thinking of this, Lu Bu clenched his fists and murmured in his heart: I hope not.
