Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 122 The Dark Night
After nightfall, the Liangzhou Camp in Shanxian County did exactly as Jia Xu expected. The sky seemed to be splashed with thick ink, and only a few stars shone dimly in the night sky.It's a pity that those few gleams of dim light, instead of making the whole camp greeted with a ray of light, became even more strange.

At this moment, the Liangzhou camp is full of a desolate and gloomy atmosphere, messy supplies are placed randomly, garbage is thrown everywhere on the wet and muddy land, and there are even some bones of war horses, amidst the buzzing of flies Even more upsetting.Everyone could faintly feel that an undercurrent was quietly surging in the camp.

Niu Fu, Dong Zhuo's son-in-law in the Chinese army tent, has become the real master of the Liangzhou camp after he took over Duan Yan and beheaded Dong Yue.The combat power of the [-] Xiliang army is in his hands, so it stands to reason that he can run rampant in the world and go wherever he wants.But in fact, it's not like that at all.

During these days, Niu Fu has been sleeping very restlessly, always feeling restless, and would wake up from time to time.

Niu Fu didn't know why, but he could vaguely feel that someone was whispering something behind his back...

But when he suddenly turned his head, he couldn't see anything.

This feeling is very bad, very bad, very even very bad!

Under the leadership of Dong Zhuo, Niu Fu never knew what it was like to be afraid. When fighting, he could take the lead and charge up with a big knife, cutting off the enemy's head.Of course, most of the time, he led his subordinates to his heart's content, rushed into the houses of the people, killed the men, robbed the women, and finally set fire to the thatched hut...

But once Dong Zhuo died, Niu Fu felt that everything was wrong. He didn't feel this way before, but now facing the whispers of a hundred thousand troops, he felt the fear of human words.Especially not in front of you, but behind your back.

He could guess that these people might be discussing that he wanted to kill Dong Yue at this time; they might also be discussing that he was not worthy to be the leader of the Xiliang Army at all, but because he was Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, everyone made him feel awkward for the time being. It's just for a while; more likely, these people are discussing why it has been so long, and he hasn't issued a clear order to tell these people what to do!
What should I do?
How could Niu Fu know what to do!
Although Duan Yan received a pardon from the imperial court, the imperial court did not send any generals to receive their army, and even sent Hu Zhen out of the city to guard against them.With such an approach, Niu Fu couldn't see what the imperial court, which always liked to play tricks, wanted to do.

Especially the heavy rain in the first three days destroyed a lot of supplies in this big camp.The Liangzhou soldiers who had cut off the supply of food and grass in Chang'an had already begun to kill war horses to satisfy their hunger.If this situation is not alleviated, within ten days, the entire camp will fall into a complete collapse!

But Niu Fu still couldn't come up with an idea.

Just like that, Niu Fu rolled back and forth, hoping to get a good night's sleep and gather enough energy for tomorrow's military meeting.But thinking of the current situation of the [-] troops, Niu Fu felt restless and couldn't sleep.

In this way, in a daze, Niu Fu stayed until midnight.

At this time, even the slightest bit of starlight could not be seen in the entire Liangzhou Daying sky.A few shadowy, ghostly figures sneaked into the camp with ease.

The costumes of these people are very strange, and they all wear a hideous bronze mask on their faces.And on the back is a half-height giant sword. They are dressed in heavy armor, but they move like the wind.Facing the sentry posts in the Liangzhou camp that had long been ineffective, they seemed to be familiar with the road, and each of them rushed in lightly, and they would accurately slash the dagger in their mouths across the throats of Liangzhou soldiers.For targets farther away, their crossbow bolts are more silent.Even those corpses that fell from the wooden frame would be caught up by them one step ahead of time, so as not to cause any alarm.

After the slack outside the Liangzhou camp was lifted, the leader gathered the dozen or so people together, and then made a few simple movements with his fingers.These people broke into pieces and began to sneak towards the stables, grain tents, and other dense camps.And the leader was not wearing any armor at all. Based on the memory he discovered a few days ago, after carefully identifying the direction, he ran towards a remote camp.

Not long after, the man stretched out from the side of the corpse of a Xiliang soldier, and quietly approached the inconspicuous military tent.The soldier outside the military tent held his nose and tried his best to endure something. The man sniffed lightly and smelled an unpleasant smell of medicine from the tent. While frowning slightly, his eyes lit up, knowing that he had already passed away. Find the right place.

This is Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe's tent, because everyone in the camp knows that Jia Xu likes to boil a kind of medicine in the tent late at night. The smell of the medicine is very strange, and the guards around him avoid it.

The man moved step by step, slowly approaching the tent like a snake.He avoided the guards who were far away from the tent, and planned to cut a hole in the tent and sneak in.But when his hands could already touch the tarpaulin, he suddenly stopped, and his eyebrows furrowed unexpectedly.His intuition gave him a very dangerous signal after many years of life in the rivers and lakes.

Although, there was only one old man inside who looked harmless.But that intuition was very strong, almost as strong as when he met the invincible hero Lu Bu.

However, he is burdened with important orders, and he is not allowed to give up halfway here.What's more, he didn't allow himself to lose his reputation.

So, the next moment, he saw Jia Xu.

"Oh, you're here?" Jia Xu's voice seemed to float from the sky, appearing vague and empty: "Let me guess, you should be the most trusted confidant of His Majesty, the number one sword master in Chang'an, Wang Yue, right? "

This sentence is light and light, but it fell into Wang Yue's ears, but it was like a thunderbolt.He immediately put his sword across his chest, guarding against Jia Xu like a tiger, and said: "Since Mr. Jia has already guessed the identity of this servant, then he also knows the purpose of coming here tonight?"

Jia Xu didn't answer, but stopped stirring the pot of medicine in his hands, and said loudly to the guards outside who heard the movement and planned to come in to protect him: "You all stand far away, and you are not allowed to approach this tent for thirty steps." I still have to persevere, but Jia Xu seems to be extremely prestigious in the barracks, so he just snorted again, and the guards retreated obediently without even asking why.

Wang Yue was overjoyed, he knew that Jia Xu didn't have much force.The guards outside the tent stepped back another thirty steps, enough that when they rushed in, they could only see a corpse.Wang Yue is not a scheming scribe, he intuitively knows that Jia Xu must be confident in doing so, but his superb swordsmanship still gives him a sense of security and confidence.

As a hero of today, Wang Yue originally preferred to fight openly and aboveboard, rather than such small acts of thieves and thieves.But he deeply knows that now he is no longer the ranger who licks blood. When the mission on his shoulders conflicts with his fame, he knows which identity he should choose.

But even though he was fully prepared, Jia Xu's words still shocked him: "If the old man's guess is correct, the hero Wang came tonight to kidnap the old man and enter Chang'an under the order of the emperor, right? Of course, in the In such a 10-person Liangzhou camp, if you want to tie the old man out, it is impossible to rely on Wang Daxia alone. Therefore, there should be two tasks for Wang Daxia to come here this time. Apart from the old man, he should still be here Can there be some movement in the big camp?"

Wang Yue stayed where he was, his chest rose and fell, and his heart almost broke through his chest cavity.But at this moment, he suddenly recalled His Majesty's explanation before he left: "Jia Xu's old fox is not easy to fool, after you see him, just remember one thing, you are a deaf and fool, no matter Jia Xu Whatever Xu says, you just need to follow my orders."

The young man's serious expression and dignified words flashed spontaneously, allowing Wang Yue to find a bright light in the horrified and inexplicable sea. He obeyed Liu Xie's order, hypnotized that he hadn't heard the words just now, and coldly turned to Jia Xu. Said: "Mr. Jia, Your Majesty has an edict ordering you to return to Chang'an as soon as possible to assist the Han Dynasty. Please don't make things difficult for me, sir."

"Ahem," Jia Xu didn't seem to expect Wang Yue's reaction, and couldn't help coughing.But then he smiled awkwardly, waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty is really just a child, and you will become idiots after teaching you. I just don't know, has Your Majesty ever said that if the old man doesn't obey, what should you do?"

Wang Yue held a long sword in his hand, and the blue veins on his neck were bursting, like an angry dragon soaring into the abyss, his whole body was instantly enveloped by a wave of hostility.He didn't answer Jia Xu's question, but his reaction clearly conveyed his meaning.

Jia Xu couldn't help but smiled wryly: "Oh, Your Majesty really thinks highly of this old man... But, why is it tonight?"
