Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 628
Early the next morning, the atmosphere in Xiangyang City was extremely tense. The bustling streets had long since disappeared, replaced by pairs of solemn-looking soldiers.

"What's going on here, brother, do you know what's going on?" On the corner of the street, a young man with a wretched expression asked a passerby next to him.

"Hey, the world is going to be in chaos." Seeing the wretched young man, the passer-by just sighed, and then continued: "I heard that it is the regent king who was assassinated last night."

"Ah, there is such a thing? I don't know how the regent is injured?" The young man with a wretched expression hesitated a little, and then asked.

"That's not clear, I also vaguely heard people say it." The passer-by left such a sentence, turned around and left.

At this time, the young man with a wretched expression showed a slight smile and turned away.

Not long after, the wretched-looking young man came to a courtyard in Xiangyang City, gently raised his hand and knocked on the door, and after a while, a young girl came over and opened the door for the wretched-looking young man.

"I'm back, come in quickly." Seeing the young man, the girl hurriedly let the young man in, then stretched out her head to look around, then closed the door again, and led the young man into the house.

"How's the situation outside?" Before entering the house, the girl couldn't help asking the young man.

"The specific situation is not very clear. It's just that the investigation outside is very strict now. I'm afraid it's impossible to leave." The young man replied in a low voice.

When the two came to the house, they saw a bead curtain hanging in the room, and there was a faint figure in the bead curtain. This person was none other than Sun Shangxiang who escaped from Lu Bu's residence.

"Xiao Wu, you are back. How is the situation outside? How is Lu Bu's injury?" Seeing the young man enter the door, Sun Shangxiang asked.

"Miss, a lot of soldiers and horses have come to the city, and now martial law has been imposed. I'm afraid we won't be able to leave Xiangyang in a short time. As for Lu Bu's injury, no one knows about Lu Bu's injury. If you dare to ask people in the government, you are afraid that your whereabouts will be exposed, so you don't know." Seeing Sun Shangxiang asked, the young man called Xiao Wu hurriedly said.

It turned out that this place was a foothold that Sun Shangxiang had prepared for himself in advance, and the young man named Xiaowu and the girl who opened the door were both Sun Shangxiang's own people brought over from Jiangdong.

"Thank you for your hard work, but you still have to run for me, but this time you are not going to inquire about Lu Bu's situation, but to help me keep an eye on Zhang Zhao's situation, and report to me immediately if there is any change." Xiao Wu's report, Sun Shangxiang nodded, and then continued to give instructions.

"Miss, don't worry, the younger ones are familiar with Mr. Zhang Zhao's subordinates, and they will definitely be able to inquire about Mr. Zhang Zhao's affairs clearly." Seeing Sun Shangxiang's order, Xiao Wu hurriedly stepped forward and said.

"Then you go to work, remember not to let Zhang Zhao know about my affairs." Seeing Xiao Wu so sure, Sun Shangxiang nodded and urged again.

"Miss, it is said that Zhang Zhao advocates surrender. Miss such a person stares at him for some reason." It was not until after sending Xiao Wu away that the little girl turned around and asked Sun Shangxiang in a puzzled manner. road.

"How do you think Lu Bu is going? Will it be dangerous?" Sun Shangxiang didn't answer the little girl's words, but said thoughtfully.

"Hehe, Miss, do you miss that Lu Bu? When I was in Jiangdong, I only heard about how vicious Lu Bu is, but this time when I came to Xiangyang, I heard people say that Lu Bu is very good, and he is rare in the world. What do you think, Miss, a hero?" Seeing Sun Shangxiang's strange expression, the little girl rolled her eyes and said, with a playful look.

"Don't talk nonsense, little girl, why would I miss him? But this person is not a bad person, but he shouldn't be an enemy of my family." Thinking of the scene in Lu Bu's arms last night, Sun Shangxiang couldn't help but blushed, but Thinking about his position, Sun Shangxiang couldn't help but sigh again.

However, since Zhang Zhao learned that Lu Bu summoned Sun Shangxiang alone, he felt a little uneasy. It must be a matter of gratitude that Sun Quan in Jiangdong was willing to surrender to Lu Bu. If he wanted to come to Lu Bu, he had no reason to refuse. The younger sister is used as a match, but Zhang Zhao didn't think so much at the beginning, he only hoped to facilitate the surrender as soon as possible, but he couldn't come up with such a thing, although Zhang Zhao has not received definite news until now, but Zhang Zhao has It was a vague bad feeling.

"My lord, Mr. Xun Yu has arrived." At this moment, a family member came in and reported to Zhang Zhao.

"Quick, please." Hearing Xun Yu's visit, Zhang Zhao quickly asked someone to invite him, but he felt that it was not grand enough, and then he chased his family and came out. When Fang Yi came to the courtyard, he happened to meet Xun Yu who was walking towards him .

"Um, I have seen Mr. Xun Yu. I wonder if the regent is well?" Seeing Xun Yu, Zhang Zhao asked cautiously.

"The Lord Regent is so blessed, what could be wrong with that little girl, Sun Shangxiang, although she is ruthless, but it is impossible to hurt the Lord Regent. Thinking back to when the Lord Regent ruled the world, She, Sun Shangxiang, doesn't know where she is yet." Seeing Zhang Zhao asking about Lu Bu's injury, Xun Yu said proudly.

"That's good, that's good. I don't know if I can pay my respects to the Lord Regent and say hello to him?" After hearing Xun Yu's words, Zhang Zhao felt relieved, but he still didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest. Sun Shangxiang must have assassinated Lu Bu. The matter can be big or small, it can be counted on Zhang Zhao's head, or on the head of Jiangdong as a whole, or it can just be mentioned lightly, and it all depends on Zhang Zhao's performance.

"Hmph, there's no need to ask about the greetings. The Lord Regent was very angry about this matter. He wanted to send troops to pacify Jiangdong himself. Although he was persuaded by some of our veterans, he was still angry. Mr. Zhang Zhao should not take it personally. It's boring, I came here because I want to check with Mr. Zhang Zhao about a few things, and ask Mr. Zhang Zhao to tell you everything." Xun Yu shook his hand, and then asked Zhang Zhao.

"Your Excellency, feel free to say something, Zhang Zhao will know everything." Hearing Xun Yu's words, Zhang Zhao knew that the time had come for his family and life, so he quickly said in a very cooperative attitude.

"First, please tell me, Lord Zhang Zhao, who is responsible for the assassination of Lord Regent this time, is it sir? Or Sun Quan?" Seeing Zhang Zhao's quick promise, Xun Yu said bluntly.

"My lord, where do you start with this? Although my lord is young, he is still a promising young man. How could he do such indecent things? I guarantee it with my life. It has absolutely nothing to do with my lord at this time. As for me, I sincerely hope The great man can be united and the world can achieve peace, so how can he do such a thing? I will definitely not ask the young lady to do such a thing. Besides, the young lady has been living in a deep boudoir, and I rarely see it. The facts are nonsense. The young lady did such a rebellious thing this time. I think she must have been instigated by a traitor. After she returns next time, she must strictly investigate and deal with it, and she will definitely give an explanation to the regent." See Xun Yu's questioning , Zhang Zhao said quickly.

"From this point of view, my second question is a bit redundant, but I still have to ask seriously, does Sun Quan really want to surrender?" That's the point.

Seeing Xun Yu's question, Zhang Zhao immediately realized that Lv Bu had not closed the door to peace talks, but after such an incident, it was hard to say whether he would continue to surrender as before. It must be Sun Shangxiang's attempt to assassinate Lv Bu. As a matter of fact, it is inevitable that Lu Bu will find trouble with the Sun family in the future, but these are not problems for Zhang Zhao, and the most important thing for Zhang Zhao right now is to save his own life.

"Don't worry, Mr. Xun Yu. If my lord is not willing to surrender, why would he send me here? Even if my lord doesn't want to surrender, he still needs to consider the people of Jiangdong. The fate of the entire Jiangdong must be decided in this battle. It's not just about my lord." Zhang Zhao's words were very level, although he clearly stated that he was willing to surrender, but he implied this meaning in it.

"Mr. Zhang Zhao said so, I naturally believe it, but if I want my regent to believe it, Mr. Zhang Zhao needs a letter of divorce to explain his loyalty to the big man. Only in this way can I speak in front of the regent For a while, Xun Yu nodded and said.However, the conditions put forward made Zhang Zhao frowned, which undoubtedly required Zhang Zhao to write a letter of surrender.And if Zhang Zhao did this, how would he behave if he returned to Jiangdong in the future.

"Although I want to join the big man wholeheartedly, if this book is written down, I'm afraid I won't be able to return to Jiangdong." Zhang Zhao said worriedly.

"Could it be that Mr. Zhang Zhao still has illusions about Sun Quan? Do you really think that Sun Quanhui really doesn't know about Sun Shangxiang's assassination of my lord? I asked Mr. Mr. to write a letter of surrender, which is also to win a post for Mr. It’s just a road, now that such a big thing has happened, sir, don’t you notice me at all?” Seeing Zhang Zhao’s hesitation, Xun Yu said in a cold tone.

"My lord is right. I am willing to write a letter and surrender to the imperial court." Zhang Zhao finally said after a while, obviously Zhang Zhao understands that under the current situation, it is already very cheap for Lu Bu not to kill himself. Now, if you want to get out of the body, there are some things that must be done.

"Congratulations, sir. I look forward to being an official in the same dynasty as you in the future." Seeing Zhang Zhao take out a pen and paper and write a letter of surrender, Xun Yu nodded approvingly and said.

"I don't know when I can leave. After such a big incident, I need to go back and investigate it carefully." In all fairness, Zhang Zhao held his breath in his heart about the whole matter, and wanted to go back to find out. Zhang Zhao obviously I feel that in this matter, I have been calculated by others.
