The Assassin Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Leaving Cangwu, further south is Nanhai County, and turning west, entering Yulin County.The officials along the way were all polite to Long Fei, treating Long Fei as a superior official when they spoke and acted.Shi Xie, the prefect of Nanhai, was the eldest son of Shi Xie, and Shi Gan, the prefect of Yulin, was the third son of Shi Xie.Pass Yulin and continue westward. Judging from the terrain, it should have entered the boundary of Guangxi, and then arrived at Jiaozhi, the capital of Jiaozhou.

Everyone lived comfortably along the way.Guo Jia then asked Long Fei: "Master, do you really want to drive away all the great families?"

Long Fei looked at Guo Jia.Everyone in Wumuya under Long Fei is also from the Yingchuan gentry, and there are not many fringe figures like Guo Jia.Guo Jia was also worried that if Long Fei really wanted to attack the aristocratic family, would the Fourth Head of Wumuya take back all the children he sent.In that case, it would be extremely unfavorable to Long Fei, even a catastrophe.

Seeing that Guo Jia didn't speak.Long Fei smiled: "Scholars are also divided into many kinds. The local tyrants and evil gentry who get something for nothing will naturally be chased away, but they will show pity for the common people, and naturally accept what the common people like. There are good and bad people, and naturally there are good and bad gentry families. Xun Yu, Zhong Yao and Fengxiao, you sons of scholars from Yingchuan have worked hard for the peace of the world and are kind to the people. I heard that the Xun family is very popular among the people in Yingchuan. Naturally, we have taken in scholars like this object."

Guo Jia smiled: "If the world is peaceful, what will my lord plan to do with these scholars who are loved by the people?"

Long Fei said: "The world is peaceful, Feng Xiao thinks our Long family is considered a scholar family?"

"Uh!" Guo Jia was taken aback, then nodded, "Of course, it's the biggest scholar family in the world!"

"Then if I take the lead and set an example, what will happen to the other scholars?"

Guo Jia looked at Long Fei, shook his head slightly, and suddenly said: "My lord is a master! Today I just realized that my lord has calculated the whole world into it."

Jiaozhi is the largest county in Jiaozhou and the seat of Jiaozhou.Cochin is bordered by barbarians in the south, and boundless forests in the north, and there is only one road leading to it from east to west.In the east, there are Yulin, Nanhai, and Cangwu as barriers, and in the west, there are Yunnan and Jianning as support.The mountain roads are difficult to walk, and it is difficult for vehicles to enter and exit. It is indeed like a paradise.

The war horse stepped on the weeds by the roadside, the breeze was blowing, the rice fields on the left and right were growing just right, and the people were working. Pedestrians passed by from time to time, seeing Long Fei's brigade standing on the side of the road to avoid it.After walking for more than ten miles, I came to a town store.The soldiers leading the way rushed to report that they would arrive at Jiaozhi soon, and asked Long Fei and the others to rest here first.

Long Fei didn't enter the town store, so he found a grass field outside the town, and a group of people sat around to eat some dry food and drink some water.Long Fei was lying on the grass, looking up at the sky. Although the Central Plains had reached the end of autumn, Jiaozhou was still very warm, and the bright sunshine felt particularly comfortable on his body.Long Fei unconsciously closed his eyes.

"Boss! Boss!" Dian Wei held the iron halberd in one hand and shook Long Fei with the other.Long Fei didn't expect that he would fall asleep, so he quickly opened his eyes.The look on Dian Wei's face told him that there must be something important.Seeing Long Fei wake up, Dian Wei hurriedly said: "Big Xu said that someone has been following us and asked me to protect you. He has brought someone to chase after us!"

Guo Jia and Xu Shu are all by his side.Long Fei stood up abruptly, looked around, the surrounding scenery was still the same, and the birds were still singing in the sky.Some of the three hundred personal guards were taken away by Xu Chu, and the rest gathered around Long Fei with the weapons in their hands tightly. "What's going on?" Long Fei asked Xu Shu.

Xu Shu hurriedly replied: "During the rest, Xu Chu turned around and found someone in the woods to the north. He said something and led people to chase after him."

"How long have you been away? Have you sent someone back?"

Xu Shu shook his head: "It was just a quarter of an hour ago, and no one has been sent back yet."

Looking at the leisurely Jiaozhou soldiers not far away, Long Fei rolled his eyes, sat down slowly, and asked Guo Jia, "Who does Feng Xiao think it could be? Shiwei, or Shiqi, or Shigan?"

Guo Jia smiled: "No matter who it is, Xu Chu will know everything when he catches one back."

After another quarter of an hour, Xu Chu and several guards finally came back, and they brought a few people dressed in black with branches and weeds all over their bodies.Seeing that Xu Chu and the others were fine.Long Fei smiled: "You even learned how to pretend! How about it? Have you recruited? Who sent it?"

Xu Chu didn't speak, and took out a few pieces of dragon pattern jade from his bosom and handed them to Long Fei: "These were found from them."

After watching it, a few people were all surprised.Dian Wei almost yelled, but was glared at by Long Fei, and hurriedly lowered his voice, looking at Long Fei and the others: "Hei Bing, this is Hei Bing's! Hei Bing has followed here."

Long Fei silently put away the few pieces of jade, and turned to look at the men in black kneeling on the ground.These guys must have been severely repaired by Xu Chu and the guards. The clothes were torn, their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen, and they were trembling.Long Fei asked: "Tell me, who sent you here, and why are you following us?"

"My lord, I am wronged! We are hunters nearby! We are hunters!" The leader quickly defended, looking at Xu Chu beside him, still a little scared.

Before the guy finished speaking, Long Fei gave him a look. Xu Chu raised his knife and chopped off the guy's head. Blood spurted out a few feet long, his head rolled aside, and his mouth was still moving.A pair of eyes looked left and right, and slowly lost their light.The other men in black kowtowed in fright, begging for mercy.Judging from the dragon pattern jade pieces of these people, they belonged to the lowest level of assassins in the black ice, so Long Fei interrogated them like this.

Long Fei once again turned his attention to the remaining few people: "Can anyone tell me who sent you? Why did you follow me? Answered the question and promised not to kill him!"

A monkey with a sharp mouth hurriedly knelt and took two steps: "I said, I said! I said everything, yes..."

Just halfway through the words, a few arrows flew out of the rice field on the left and hit the men in black in the back.Several men in black slowly fell down.Dian Wei picked up his double halberds and rushed over, followed by a dozen guards.A few archers disguised as farmers in the rice fields turned around and ran into the woods. Their speed was so fast that they might not be able to catch up even on flat roads.

Looking at the dead bodies, looking at the farmers hiding in the woods in the distance.Long Fei frowned.As expected, Hei Bing was still haunted, and even chased himself here.Calling Dian Wei back, Long Fei ordered to set off immediately. Since Hei Bing could send the first batch of assassins, he would definitely send the second batch. Even if he wanted to fight, he had to find a place that was easy to defend. This kind of wilderness is not good. place.

When Shi Xie heard that Long Fei had been assassinated, he went out of the city for ten miles to greet him. Soldiers stood on both sides of the road to prevent the assassin from attacking again.Seeing Long Fei's face, Shi Xie hurriedly cupped his hands: "This old man's poor hospitality has surprised the general! This old man has committed a serious crime, please punish him by the general."

Long Fei hurriedly helped him up, and spoke kindly to comfort him.Walk side by side with Shi Xie, and head for Jiaozhi together.Except for Long Fei, Guo Jia, Xu Shu, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu were all guessing in their minds.He was also paying attention to Shi Xie's movements.Although Jiaozhou can't be said to have a solid wall, considering the prestige of the Shijia, if Heibing doesn't have the help of the Shijia, it may not be easy for Heibing to gain a foothold in Jiaozhou.When the assassination happened, the soldiers who led the way did not feel frightened.The place where they rested was also arranged by those soldiers, and it was too coincidental that they happened to rest there and met the assassin there.

It's still a banquet, and it's still all kinds of welcome.Because the assassination disturbed everyone's mood, they didn't talk about any formal topics.Shi Xie's Inspector's Mansion was unusually spacious, comparable to the imperial palace, and covered almost half of the entire Jiaozhi City.In the West Courtyard of the Governor's Mansion, Shi Xie specially vacated a large courtyard for Long Fei and others to live in.It seemed that in order to please Long Fei, except for the servants, all the sentries and guards were withdrawn, allowing Long Fei to take care of himself.

The yard is very large and divided into two entrances.There is also a small garden at the back, where all kinds of flowers and plants are lush, and bees and butterflies are flying in it.Long Fei and the others sat in the gazebo among the flowers.Long Fei asked while admiring the flowers: "Any clues? Can you see who sent it?"

Everyone shook their heads.Xu Shudao: "Sometimes I think again, could it be Zhuge Liang who did it? Hei Bing has been silent all this time, this time when the lord just came out, Hei Bing followed. Zhuge Liang’s power is respected, and without his consent, Hei Bing would not attack us.”

Guo Jia shook his head: "I don't think so. Those assassins are obviously the worst people. Based on Zhuge Liang's understanding of the lord, he would never send that kind of people. If Zhuge Liang, he would definitely send top assassins. He must hit every hit. Expose yourself, I think these assassins have a lot to do with Jiaozhou, don't forget, there is a business of hiring murderers in Black Ice, as long as you give them money, they can kill anyone!"

"Who could it be?" Dian Wei stood up abruptly, "Tell me, I'll kill him right now!"

Xu Chu shook his head and smiled wryly: "The scholars control the entire Jiaozhou, what are they dissatisfied with, my lord came here this time for the purpose of alliance, why do you want to attack us?"

Guo Jiadao: "Although this is the case, it can also be said the other way around. The Shi family is a big family with many brothers and sisters. Who would want to be the governor or governor of the state? Why is it Shi Xie instead of Shi Wei or Shi Yi? Sergeant, it is not strange for brothers to fight each other for the sake of position, maybe the lord came to unite at an inopportune time, that's why some people regard it as a stumbling block."

Long Fei nodded: "Feng Xiao's words make sense, Xu Shu, immediately use our manpower in Jiaozhou to investigate everything about my general's family!"
