Choose Liu Bei at the start, I am the only one who knows the plot of the Three Kingdoms

When those people heard Gu Rubing's words, they nodded hurriedly.

"Yeah, we think so too."

"Really? Wang Yue is loyal to the emperor, and the people he finds must also be loyal to the emperor. However, you actually say that the emperor is shameless. Tell me, who are you? Don't say you are Wang Yue's people. I'm afraid Wang Yue will find out and kill you."

A few people did not expect that Gu Rubing had been luring them all along and had never believed them from the beginning to the end.

Seeing that Gu Rubing had discovered their identities, these people simply stopped disguising themselves, but no matter what they were asked, they didn't say a word.

However, Gu Rubing has the best way to deal with such people.

He randomly grabbed a person from the cell and took him aside.

"What are you going to do? Kill me, kill me!"

"Don't be impatient. Death can sometimes be a kind of relief. I finally caught you and now I am letting you go. So what is the purpose of catching you?"

Gu Rubing finished speaking and waved his hand.

Someone nearby took out a fishing net and shone it directly on the man.

The flesh on the assassin's body was squeezed out from the gaps in the fishing net due to the pulling of the fishing net.

Gu Rubing took out a dagger and cut off a piece of flesh from the man's body.

The piercing pain made the assassin scream like a pig being slaughtered.

However, someone soon sprinkled medicine on the wound.

Then, the second knife.

The third knife.

By the 30th strike, the assassin no longer had the strength to scream, and looked weakly at Gu Rubing in front of him.

"Kill me, please, kill me!"

"Don't be impatient. This is only the first day. I want to let you see what it means to be unable to live and unable to die. I will let you understand that death is the easiest."

After saying that, Gu Rubing stopped immediately, turned around and walked outside.

"Don't leave, Liu Bei, kill me, kill me!"

Behind him was the assassin's heart-wrenching roar.

Gu Rubing left the palace and returned to his own residence.

"Zijing, send someone to Liangzhou and ask Ziyi to monitor Liu Zhang and his men. I suspect that this series of events is related to Liu Zhang."

"Liu Zhang?"

Lu Su frowned immediately when he heard this.

This group of mysterious people who appeared in the Central Plains today, they thought about Sun Jian, Cao Cao, and even these two must have thought about Liu Bei, but everyone forgot about Liu Zhang in the corner.

Among the four great princes, only Liu Zhang was the weakest, and the combat effectiveness of the Anluo Empire was also the lowest. However, the mysterious people they faced had terrifyingly high combat effectiveness. They even dared to launch a sneak attack on the Iron Pagoda's camp, and were even able to kidnap Sun Shangxiang without anyone noticing.

After saying that, Lu Su turned around and left.

Zhao Yun came to Gu Rubing's side.

"My lord, if it is really Liu Zhang, given the strength of the Anluo Empire, he should not be able to do this, right? Moreover, so many things have happened during this period of time, and the person behind the scenes can even be compared with the prime minister. Could it be that a talented person has appeared in the Anluo Empire?"

Zhao Yun's words reminded Gu Rubing of a person, a person who had been misjudged by everyone at the beginning. Even Zhuge Liang looked confused when he talked about this person.

That was Surena.

No matter who saw him, he seemed to be a man of great talent, but in actual combat, he was extremely poor, with a casualty ratio of even ten to one. If no one helped him, he had never won a battle. In any war, even the remnants of Sun Jian, the weakest among the three great princes, could not be stopped by Surena.

"Could it be him?"

A trace of confusion flashed across Gu Rubing's eyes.

"My Lord, who are you talking about?"

"It's okay. We still lack evidence for this matter. Let's talk about it after we get the evidence."

Gu Rubing was too lazy to say anything else.

After hearing this, Zhao Yun didn't ask any more questions, but he just walked out of the room and stood at the door acting as a guard.

In the dense forest outside Xudu City.

A group of men in black dressed in night clothes gathered together, led by the man called the village chief.

"Captain, Liu Bei is back. People in the city reported that he went into the palace and did not come out for a day. He was probably interrogating the captured people. I wonder if they can hold on. If our identities are revealed, we will be in trouble."

"Yes, village chief, although they are desperate criminals we recruited, they have basically seen us. If the news is leaked, it will be a big trouble."

The leader of the village was silent for a moment. He was somewhat worried about whether these desperate criminals could hold on.

"Since everyone is worried, let's have those who enter the city deal with the captured people. Our identities must not be revealed no matter what."

"good!"

The next morning.

Gu Rubing personally presided over the funeral and buried Xiaoling with great honor.

However, at this moment, inside the Imperial Palace Prison.

Several eunuchs who were delivering food entered the sky prison.

The guarding Bai Li soldiers looked at the people in front of them and felt that they were somewhat unfamiliar, so they stopped them immediately.

"Who are you?"

“We are delivering food.”

"Delivering food? I don't think I've seen you guys before!"

"Yes, the lord said that the interrogation process of the prisoners here will be very exhausting, so let us send some delicious food to replenish their energy."

Upon hearing this, the guarding Bai Li soldiers thought of Gu Rubing's method of punishment yesterday. Not to mention the assassin, even they felt a little scared when they saw this. The so-called "tie up" was probably to prevent these people from dying easily!

After figuring this out, the Bai Li soldiers did not have any doubts and did not even call Chen Dao over. They let the person who delivered the food in.

Not long after these people went in, Chen Dao, who was on patrol, came over with some people.

"What's going on here?"

"Replying to the commander, it's okay. The person who delivered the food has already gone in."

"Huh? Delivering food? How can it be time to deliver food now? Who will deliver food?"

"They said that the Lord sent them to deliver food, we..."

"Bullshit, the master is presiding over the princess's funeral outside the city of Xudu, how could he send someone to deliver food? You bunch of rubbish, where are they?"

Chen Dao already felt that something was wrong, and he knew that this time something terrible might happen.

"Still inside."

Several Bai Li soldiers looked at Chen Dao and understood what was going on, and quickly drew out the swords from between their legs.

Soon, these people, led by Chen Dao, entered the Sky Prison.

As soon as they opened the door, they saw two bodies of Bai Li soldiers lying on the ground. They were the ones guarding the cell.

"It's bad. Go inform the lord and call someone over. The rest of you, follow me in and try to catch the killer."

"yes."

Chen Dao led everyone and walked forward carefully.

When they walked into the cell where they were currently, they saw all the assassins lying on the ground, their lips were purple, and it was obvious that they had died of poisoning.

As for the group of people outside the passage, they were dressed as eunuchs, also lying on the ground with purple lips, having also died of poisoning.

When Chen Dao saw this, he realized that these people were all death warriors.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

After seeing all this, Chen Dao realized that he was in trouble.

After the funeral procession, Gu Rubing returned to Xudu and received news from the Baili soldiers that all the assassins had been killed.

Gu Rubing widened his eyes. That was the imperial palace. What kind of assassin could enter the imperial palace's prison and kill people? Moreover, there were Bai Li soldiers guarding there. The assassins inside were all dead, so where were the Bai Li soldiers?

Gu Rubing came to the sky prison with questions.

Chen Dao, who was sorting out the corpses, immediately knelt in front of Gu Rubing when he saw Gu Rubing coming.

"My subordinate has not done his job well, please punish me, lord."

Gu Rubing did not go to punish Chen Dao, but asked about what happened.

When he learned that they were wearing eunuchs' clothes, Gu Rubing immediately understood.

This is not a place where anyone can come. This is the imperial palace, and eunuchs' costumes are only available in the palace. These assassins were able to get the eunuchs' costumes, which means that there must be an insider in the palace. However, these people have just entered the palace not long ago, and with my arrival, even if they really bribed some people in the palace, they should restrain themselves and definitely not dare to commit crimes against the wind.

Therefore, the collusion among the people in the palace must be more than just bribery. This matter is probably related to Wang Yue. Although Wang Yue ran away, he has been in the palace for such a long time, and the network of relationships he has built must still exist.

"Is everyone dead?"

"No, the man you interrogated alone is still alive."

Gu Rubing knew that with such a big commotion here, that person must have known the news. As an assassin, he would not say anything in the first place, and now that he knew his companion was dead, he would be even less likely to say anything. Even if he did say something, he had no way of proving whether what he said was true.

However, Gu Rubing now had a better idea in mind.

Since the current events have made me doubt Liu Zhang, who is staying out of the matter, I might as well give Liu Zhang a good test.

"Spread the news that there is still an assassin alive, and announce to the public that we already know who the murderer is. At the same time, invite King Yi to come to Xudu, as well as the man named Surena who is beside him."

"yes!"

Chen Dao didn't understand what Gu Rubing meant, so he could only do as Gu Rubing asked.

Soon the men in black outside Xudu City got the news.

"I really didn't expect that group of idiots would kill one less person. Now our identities have been exposed, what should we do?"

"What else can I do? I'll just go all out. I don't think Liu Bei will completely believe the assassin. I'll sneak into the prison tonight and kill him. Now there's no evidence. I don't believe what Liu Bei can do."

The village chief and his men had made up their minds and were about to take action when a voice appeared behind them.

"Are you ready to die? If so, don't take my people with you."

When the voice fell, the village chief and others looked behind them and saw Wang Yue and others walking over.

"Wang Yue, didn't you say you could help us? Why are you no longer planning to cooperate with us now that you see we are failing?"

"Of course not. You are still useful, but you don't have to worry. This time I brought an order for someone. You can take a look."

After Wang Yue finished speaking, he took out a letter.

The envelope had obviously been opened.

"Did you see it?"

"Um!"

Wang Yue just nodded and didn't say anything.

It’s not that Wang Yue didn’t want to say it, the main reason was that he couldn’t understand what was written on it at all.

After reading the letter, the village chief ordered the people around him: "Retreat!"

"Retreat? Why? Aren't we going to kill the village chief?"

"No need. The general said that it's just one person and can't prove anything. The marshal said that we have to protect the king in secret."

"King? Could it be that Liu Bei knows our identities?"

"I don't know what the Marshal means, but we should do whatever he says."

After saying this, the village chief looked at Wang Yue standing beside him.

"Now that our plan has been exposed, are you planning to withdraw?"

"We really have to retreat. If we don't leave now, we may not be able to leave."

After Wang Yue finished speaking, his figure disappeared into the darkness.

Gu Rubing had been spreading the news for several days, waiting for someone to come to the Tianlao to kill or kidnap people, but no one came.

This made Gu Rubing wonder if someone had seen through his plan.

Inside the palace of the Anluo Empire.

Liu Zhang's face changed when he saw the imperial edict issued by Gu Rubing in the name of Liu Xie.

"Has our plan been exposed?"

Hearing this, Surena came out.

"King, I don't think we have been exposed. It's just that we have taken action too many times recently. The three major princes are in a bit of a mess and are even suspicious of each other. Only we stay out of it, so Liu Bei must have reason to suspect us."

"What should we do then?"

Surena hesitated for a moment and whispered his plan in Liu Zhang's ear. Liu Zhang reacted instantly and patted Surena's shoulder excitedly.

After the failure of that expedition, Surena fell into silence. He also saw the real gap between his Anluo Empire and the Central Plains.

Liu Zhang saw all this at the time, and was already considering whether to let Surena step back behind the scenes and give him some peace and quiet.

But who would have thought that within a few days, Surena came back to life.

Moreover, he asked for 100,000 troops as soon as he asked, as if he was going to conduct training.

Liu Zhang knew that although he was a king, he did not have much experience in fighting. The commanders of the entire Anluo Empire were in the hands of Surena. In the past, when he wanted to train soldiers, Surena would just tell him, but this time he specifically asked for someone, so he must have other purposes. (End of this chapter)
