Soldiers come to the world

() After the banquet was over, Liu Jing bid farewell and left the Ganlu Palace, and went down the mountain to return to the boat. Go down the mountain.

Beigu Mountain is not high, but the mountain road is complicated, and it takes at least half an hour to walk around the winding road, especially since they are all leading horses, so they have to be more careful when going down the mountain.

At this time, it was completely dark, with jagged rocks on both sides of the mountain road, and big trees looming over the head like a huge canopy, covering the sun, moon and stars, making the mountain road extraordinarily dark.

More than 200 personal soldiers guarded Liu Jing from left to right. They were especially careful about the threat above their heads. These dense trees were easy to hide. Many soldiers even raised their shields to form a shield wall.

The guards of Ganlu Palace who led the way all laughed. The Jingzhou soldiers were simply too nervous. This is Ganlu Palace, how could it be dangerous?

The head guard smiled and said: "Everyone can't help worrying, no one dares to come here to act wild!"

Zhao Yun ignored him, he held down the hilt of his sword, and looked around vigilantly. Decades of war career made him have a kind of sensitivity beyond ordinary people. He felt that there seemed to be some kind of danger around him. Unfortunately, this area is the best opportunity.

"Don't be careless!" He ordered in a low voice.

Seeing his fuss, several Ganlu Palace guards shook their heads, and walked quickly down the mountain along the path.

At this time they had already walked out of the tree-shaded mountain road, a round of half-bright and half-dark full moon passed through the thin clouds, the color of the moon was bleak, and smeared a layer of light gray on the earth.

The figures of Liu Jing and his personal guards also began to become clear, and Liu Jing and his horse could be clearly distinguished.

Suddenly, there was a fluttering sound from a rock on the opposite side. It was a flock of old birds being startled flying. Almost everyone was taken aback. At this moment, 'Ka! A string of crossbow bolts sounded, and more than a dozen crossbow bolts roared and shot towards Liu Jing, who was in front of the team.

The chief guard of Ganlu Palace was walking in front of Liu Jing. He couldn't dodge, and was shot through his chest by two crossbow arrows. He screamed and rolled down the hillside. fell to the ground.

About seven or eight crossbow arrows shot before Liu Jing's eyes like lightning. Liu Jing had been prepared for a long time. Like Zhao Yun, he was already sensitive to the danger lurking around, so he kept pressing his right hand on the hilt of his sword.

I saw a flash of cold light, the Qingzhi sword came out of its sheath and struck out, the cold light formed a sword net in an instant, twisting seven or eight arrows to pieces.

"There are assassins!" the soldiers shouted.

Zhao Yun was furious. He snatched two spears from the soldiers, jumped onto a big rock and threw them with all his strength. There was a scream, and Zhao Yun rushed towards the arrow with the spear in his hand. After a while of commotion, Li Qing shouted: "The first battalion guards Zhoumu, the second battalion comes with me!"

The soldiers were well-trained, fast and not chaotic. A hundred soldiers instantly formed a square formation and surrounded Liu Jing with shields, while the other 100 followed Li Qing. Rocks outflank and go.

Liu Jing shouted sharply: "Catch the assassin alive!"

At this time, one of the sixteen crossbowmen hiding behind the rock was stabbed to death by a spear, and the other 15 people were hurriedly withdrawing from the path behind the boulder. They had only one chance, and no matter whether they succeeded or not, they had to leave quickly.

Just before they ran fifty paces, Zhao Yun had already chased him from behind. With a loud shout, he swung his spear, and the last two crossbowmen were pierced through their backs and fell to the ground.

"General Zhao, the state shepherd has an order to arrest the living!" Li Qing shouted from a distance.

Zhao Yun came to his senses, he switched from stabbing to pumping, and the spear flew flying, knocking down the other dozen assassins to the ground in a short while, and the guards who surrounded him from both sides rushed forward and pinned these assassins to the ground.

At this time, Liu Jing came over with a sullen face, the arrow was smeared with poison, and all three people were shot dead. Although two of the people who were shot dead were guards of Ganlu Palace, their natures were extremely bad. He had been vigilant in advance, or if it wasn't for his high martial arts skills, he would not have escaped death today.

He glanced coldly at the thirteen assassins who had been arrested, and then said to Li Qingling, "Quickly inform Marquis Wu, and ask him to come over and check this matter."

Sun Quan drank a few more glasses today and just fell asleep, but the sound of running hurriedly woke him up, "Marquis Wu, something serious happened!" The guard reported nervously.

"What's the matter?" Sun Quan asked very displeased.

"Jingzhou Shepherd Liu Jing was assassinated!"

"What!" Sun Quan sat up abruptly, his drunkenness and drowsiness disappeared in shock, Liu Jing's assassination was a big deal.

He didn't even have time to put on his shoes, so he ran to the curtain with bare feet, opened the curtain and asked anxiously, "When did it happen, and how is the situation now?"

The guard hurriedly bowed and said: "Just now, Liuzhou Mu escaped by chance, but Luo Shun, the chief guard of Ganlu Palace, unfortunately died. I heard that three people died in total."

Sun Quan breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't care about other people's death. As long as Liu Jing didn't have an accident, he would be lucky. He quickly put on his shoes, and asked while getting dressed, "What else is going on?"

"The other thing is that General Huang has already led his troops away. At the foot of Beigu Mountain, Liu Jing's personal soldiers heard the news that all the assassins have been captured and are waiting for Marquis Wu to deal with them."

Sun Quan was very anxious, he hurriedly put on his outer robe, and walked quickly to the outside of Marquis Wu's mansion, when he reached the door, he stopped suddenly, called a leader of the guards up, and whispered to him: "Bring more brothers, Closely monitor Sun Ben's mansion, and don't allow him to escape."

"Follow the order!"

The leader of the guards saluted and hurried away with dozens of guards. Sun Quan watched them go away. He had a strong premonition in his heart that Liu Jing's assassination was most likely related to Sun Ben.

It is not far from the North City Gate of Jingkou to Beigu Mountain, only a few miles away. The road is spacious and flat. Sun Quan rushed all the way under the strict protection of hundreds of guards. No unrelated personnel are allowed to approach, including Ganlu Palace, and two thousand soldiers went up the mountain to protect it.

When Sun Quan rushed to the foot of the mountain, Huang Gai greeted him, "See Wuhou!"

"How's the situation?" Sun Quan got off his horse and asked.

"Liu Zhoumu has been escorted onto the ship by his army, and the leader of his soldiers stayed behind to assist us in investigating the situation."

Sun Quan nodded. It seemed that Liu Jing also knew that this matter had nothing to do with him. He pulled Huang Gai aside and said in a low voice, "I heard that the assassin was captured. Where are they now?"

Huang Gai understood what Sun Quan meant, and shook his head, "The assassins were all taken away by Liu Jing, but judging from the bows and crossbows discarded at the scene, they were all soldiers of the Jiangdong Army. The numbers on the crossbows are our army's weapons. The planners obviously wanted to kill two birds with one stone, assassinate Jingzhou Mu and plant the blame on us."

Sun Quan sneered, "I'm afraid this person is self-defeating!"

At this time, Li Qing came over in a hurry, bowed and saluted, took out a folded note and handed it to Sun Quan, "This is a note from my state pastor to Marquis Wu."

Sun Quan took the note and looked closer to the torch. He nodded and said to Huang Gai, "I'll go to the pier, and I'll leave it to the general. In addition, temporarily block the news and don't disturb the Ganlu Palace."

"Understandable!"

Sun Quan got on his horse, pulled the rein, turned the horse's head and ran towards the river

The big ship stopped quietly at the pier. At this time, Liu Jing had returned, changed his clothes, and waited patiently for Sun Quan's arrival. Of course he knew that Sun Quan would not be responsible for this matter, so he brought six thousand elite troops to the front. Come on, Sun Quan is not so mentally retarded, assassinate himself, in that case, Jiangdong will also be destroyed.

Liu Jing also suspected that it was Sun Ben who assassinated him. He was the biggest beneficiary. Of course, the premise was that he had a close relationship with Cao Cao and he could get Cao Cao's support.

Instigating the destructive war between Jiangdong and Jingzhou, Cao Cao was the one who had the last laugh. It was almost unnecessary to think about it, this assassination must have something to do with Cao Cao.

While thinking, a guard hurried to the door of the cabin and reported with a salute: "Report to Zhou Mu, those assassins have confessed."

"How?" Liu Jing asked back.

"They don't know who is behind the scenes? They are all folk swordsmen, and they only know how to collect money to work for others."

This confession was expected by Liu Jing. Sun Ben was not so stupid and sent his own people to assassinate him. Liu Jing pondered for a moment and asked, "Hasn't Marquis Wu arrived yet?"

As soon as the voice fell, a guard at the door reported, "Report to Zhou Mu, Marquis Wu has arrived!"

Liu Jing nodded, "Please come in!"

Not long after, Sun Quan quickly walked into the cabin, and asked nervously and concerned: "I heard that my brother was assassinated, it doesn't matter!"

Liu Jing smiled, "It's not so easy to stab me, but this is too bad."

Sun Quan felt guilty, sighed and said, "This is my wrong arrangement, I apologize to my virtuous brother."

"No need!"

Liu Jing shook his head and said, "I invited my brother here to discuss countermeasures with him. Who do you think will be responsible for this matter?"

Sun Quan gritted his teeth and said, "I don't have to think about it, I know who it is. Except for the one who competes with me, I understand that no one else has the guts."

<ao不太可能搞到我军中的弓弩，而且我在北固山附近安排有两千巡哨，他们显然很了解巡哨的部署，这必然是有内部人向他们泄露了情报，我想曹cao没有这么大的能耐。”

"There is another possibility."

Liu Jing smiled lightly and said: "For example, Cao Cao and Sun Ben colluded and killed me, which caused the Sun and Liu families to fight. Cao Cao will benefit from being a fisherman. When we both lose, Zhang Liao can easily capture Jingzhou and Jiangdong, and Jingzhou will help Liu. There are too many benefits for Cong and Jiang Dong to support Sun Ben, I believe Cao Cao will never let go of this opportunity."

Sun Quan nodded, "It is indeed very possible!"

At this time Liu Jing looked at Sun Quan and said: "Brother, do you dare to take a gamble and search Sun Ben's house. I suspect that there are Cao Cao's emissaries hidden in his house."

Sun Quan walked a few steps with his hands behind his back. If he hadn't been worried about the rebellion in Kuaiji County, he would have done it a long time ago. He was worried that arresting Sun Ben would lead to a series of serious consequences. However, if he could find evidence that Sun Ben colluded with Cao Cao, he would believe in righteousness. Under the circumstances, not many people dared to echo him.

Sun Quan also realized that this was indeed an opportunity.He could take advantage of Liu Jing's assassination case to overthrow Sun Ben. After pondering for a long time, he asked again: "Then what excuse should I use to search his mansion?"

Liu Jing laughed, "I have the assassin in my hands, they will say whatever I want them to say, is that enough?"

Sun Quan nodded, he finally made up his mind, "I will do as my brother wants!"
