The abnormal situation of the soldiers in the army and the things they asked made the families in the city feel that something was wrong. It seemed that these soldiers were looking for a very important person, someone who was very important to the state shepherd's mansion and to Lu Bu.

Tao Qian's residence was located in the inner city. Tao Qian was guarded by more than a dozen soldiers from the army. After all, it was in Pengcheng. Who would dare to break into the inner city and cause chaos.

Since Tao Qian was put under house arrest, nothing else happened, and the soldiers in the army gradually relaxed their vigilance.

Under the cover of the night, the long sword was stained with blood. A famous soldier fell into a pool of blood before he could react.

The smell of blood filled the air, and the abnormal noise in the courtyard caught Tao Qian's attention.

As soon as he sat up, two men in black rushed in and took Tao Qian away.

At the beginning, Tao Qian resisted a little, but the man in black wanted to take him out of here, Tao Qian gave up struggling immediately, the most urgent thing for him was to leave Pengcheng, after what happened before, Tao Qian had already understood, wanted to It is simply impossible to rely on the strength of the families in the city to drive Lu Bu out of Xuzhou. These families support Lu Bu at present, at least they dare not stand up against Lu Bu blatantly. Once this kind of thing is confirmed , It is a nightmare for the family it belongs to.

The prudence of officials in Xuzhou is what makes Tao Qian most disheartened. When he was in Xuzhou, many officials surrounded him. Now that Xuzhou has been captured by Lu Bu, he, the shepherd of Xuzhou, has a place in the hearts of Xuzhou officials. , unexpectedly reduced to such a point.

Even the family that used to show loyalty from time to time, when faced with Tao Qian's invitation, they would push back and forth. They might not report Tao Qian's affairs, but it was impossible for Tao Qian to get help from their family.

Why didn't Tao Qian want to take back Xuzhou, and let those old families see that Tao Qian still has the ability to govern Xuzhou.

After the failure of Pengcheng's operation, Tao Qian was desperate and wanted to die, but thinking of his family living in the city, Tao Qian could only endure it.

Even though it was night, there were no shortage of soldiers patrolling the streets.

At this moment, several black shadows, mixed with the night, entered the state pastoral mansion.

The situation in the state pastoral mansion is not very good at this time. The servants in the mansion have already been questioned. Xiuer's disappearance made the servants in the mansion a little panic. Very good, I didn't say that because of Lu Bu, I was honest with my servants.

Chapter 225 Marquis Wen, Someone Came to Help

Such a gentle and beautiful woman suddenly disappeared, and the servants in the mansion were more concerned.

Even people from the State Shepherd's Mansion would get lost in the city, and it would make people feel panic.

The man in black who sneaked into the State Shepherd's Mansion obviously knew the situation in the mansion very well.

"Marquis Wen, two servants said that when they went to the street today, they met Miss Xiu'er." A soldier said.

Lu Bu said in a deep voice, "Let the two of you come."

It has been such a time, and Xiu'er still hasn't shown up. Lu Bu is sure that something bad happened to Xiu'er in the city. After he entered Xuzhou, he held great power and offended many people. It is even more common for him to fight against him. The key is that these people take action against his relatives, which is absolutely intolerable.

"Quickly tell Marquis Wen what you know." The soldier urged.

Suddenly, Lu Bu's expression changed. When he was looking at the two servants, he accidentally saw the callus on their right index fingers.

The servants in the State Shepherd's Mansion usually don't do any heavy work, and these cocoons are not something that can be brought about by ordinary things.

"Marquis Wen, today the villain went to the street and met Miss Xiu'er on the street. Miss Xiu'er seems to be..." The servant seemed to want to point out the direction.

At this moment, two sleeve crossbows aimed at Lu Bu.

The situation in the arena changed too fast, the soldiers who brought the two servants did not expect such a situation to happen, this is the State Shepherd's Mansion, who is so bold as to dare to assassinate in the State Shepherd's Mansion.

"There are assassins, protect Marquis Wen!" The soldier shouted at the top of his voice, drew out his sword, and rushed forward.

The soldiers who can be selected as personal guards for Lu Bu are not only brave in battle, but also have a sense of respect for Lu Bu. For the safety of Lu Bu, they can even sacrifice their lives.

There were smiles on the corners of the two servants' mouths. It would be a very refreshing thing for the famous Marquis Wen to die at their hands. By then, the reputation of the two of them would be even better in the world.

However, the next moment, the eyes of the two men in black froze, and they saw Lu Bu as if he had been on guard for a long time. He unsheathed his long sword, shot down the attacking crossbow arrows, and came towards the two of them.

The two were slightly taken aback. It was impossible to rewind and fire the sleeve crossbow. The sleeve crossbow is better than expected and unexpected attack. In this case, the effect will be the greatest. If a person with high martial arts skills has taken precautions, the scene just now will appear.

At the same time, several men in black came towards the room where Lu Bu was. No matter what happened in the room where Lu Bu was, they wanted to see people and corpses. The state shepherd's mansion was evacuated.

With the long sword in hand, the two servants saw the long sword in front of them before they could make a move.

After the two servants glanced at each other, they rushed forward, apparently intending to fight Lu Bu with death.

Lu Bu raised his sword and dropped it, one assassin fell down, and the other assassin was knocked unconscious by the hilt of the sword.

"Be careful." Lu Bu reminded in a low voice.

The soldiers nodded knowingly. The situation just now changed too fast. If Lu Bu hadn't reacted in time, the two of them might have fallen into a pool of blood at this time.

Soldiers don't need to care about their own lives, but they must take Lu Bu's safety into consideration.

"Don't worry, Marquis Wen, after the guards in the mansion get the news, they will definitely come here very quickly," said the soldier.

Lu Bu heard the words, but he didn't relax his vigilance. These assassins dared to attack in the State Shepherd's Mansion, which meant that they had made a secret plan, just like the two assassins just now. If Lu Bu didn't see something wrong, they suddenly appeared With two sleeve crossbows, how many people can stop them.

This soldier also had lingering fears, but his expression remained firm.

Receiving Lu Bu's signal, the soldier hid behind the door.

The first to enter the room were not the soldiers of the mansion, but five men in black. From the five men, Lu Bu felt a lot of pressure. The soldiers hiding behind the door just raised their weapons and wanted to give these men The man struck sharply, but a long sword slipped through his throat.

In the pool of blood, the soldier kept struggling, his expression was full of unwillingness, he hadn't protected his general well, how could he die like this.

"I didn't expect the assassin in the Black Clothes Pavilion to be so arrogant. Do you really think that the Marquis is easy to bully?" Lu Bu said in a low voice.

The operation of the Black Clothes Pavilion this time is indeed a great threat. It can be seen that after the previous failures, they have paid more attention to Lu Bu. The action plan of the Black Clothes Pavilion this time can be described as tight.

Qin Lin smiled and said, "It turns out that the dignified Marquis Wen also knows about the Black Clothes Pavilion."

"Benhou thought all the people in the Black Clothes Pavilion were dumb." Lu Bu sneered.

"Marquis Wen, don't delay the time, just die!" After saying that, Qin Lin shook the sword in his hand and grabbed Lu Bu's throat. Four men in black, cooperating with Qin Lin's offensive, shot at Lu Bu from the left and right wings. go.

The long sword, reflecting the light, exuded a faint cold light. Lu Bu raised his vigilance secretly. From the color of Qin Lin's long sword, he could tell that the long sword in his hand was poisonous. As long as the long sword cut through the skin , might be life-threatening.

For a knight who walks the rivers and lakes, such a move is shameless, but the assassin has no resistance to it. They are people who walk in the dark, and what they pursue is success, not the process of doing things.

In the room, the sound of jingling can be heard endlessly.

Seeing this, Qin Lin's eyes tightened. He didn't expect that Lu Bu had reached such a level in swordsmanship.

Killing Lu Bu was the most critical part of this operation. It was Qin Lin who shot together with the four assassins. In a short period of time, there was nothing he could do to Lu Bu. From this point alone, it can be seen that Lu Bu, without them As simple as imagined, there was a mistake in the intelligence of the Black Clothes Pavilion before.

"Marquis Wen, someone is here to help." With a loud shout, it was Shi A who came with several swordsmen.

Lu Bu has always attached great importance to the safety of the State Shepherd's Mansion. The most important thing is for the family members in the mansion. He does not want the family members to be insecure in terms of safety.

Ever since he noticed the changes in the family in the city, Lu Bu asked Wang Yue to send someone to the State Shepherd's Mansion.

Regarding Wang Yue's character, Lu Bu still trusts him quite a bit. Those who walk in the rivers and lakes also attach great importance to their reputation. They will not easily change the things they promised. If Wang Yue betrays Lu Bu at this time , will attract the scolding of the people of the world.

Chapter 226 Jia Xu's Analysis

Originally, the attack by Qin Lin and four other assassins made Lu Bu's situation a bit critical, but after Shi A and others joined the battle, the situation reversed.

Shi A is Wang Yue's eldest disciple, and he is well-versed in swordsmanship, and he has won Wang Yue's true teaching.

The formation of the assassin's attack would inevitably be a little chaotic after this happened. Lu Bu took advantage of the situation and killed an assassin, and the assassins surrounded him, making it difficult to pose a threat.

Qin Lin's eyes turned cold. He was no stranger to Shi A, and coupled with Lu Bu's high martial arts skills, the assassination attempt to go to the State Shepherd's Mansion had already failed.

"Retreat!" Qin Lin was also a decisive person, seeing that the situation was not good for him, he directly issued an order. If the guards in the state pastoral mansion reacted, it would be impossible for them to escape from the state pastoral mansion.

"Where are we going?" Shi A snorted coldly, and faced Qin Lin.

No matter who Qin Lin was, he didn't lose the slightest bit in the battle against Shi A.

"Marquis Wen, Xiu'er is in someone's hands. If you want to see Xiu'er, let Xu Zhoumu take her place." After Qin Lin finished speaking, he got rid of Shi A's entanglement and disappeared into the darkness.

Shi A was about to pursue and was blocked by Lu Bu. Qin Lin's body skills were not weak, and his swordsmanship was superb. No one was sure if these assassins had other means.

"Pay close attention to the situation in the State Shepherd's Mansion." Lu Bu ordered: "Let the emperor come to see the Marquis."

What happened in Xuzhou naturally made Lu Bu very angry. The assassin in the Black Clothes Pavilion so blatantly went to the State Shepherd's Mansion to assassinate and take Xiu'er away. These things really angered Lu Bu.

The slightly chaotic State Shepherd's Mansion gradually regained its tranquility, but the guards protecting the State Shepherd's Mansion have heightened their vigilance. The assassin is too crazy. If Lu Bu didn't see through it tonight, it might be dangerous.

After Wang Yue got the order, he hurried over.

"Marquis Wen." Wang Yue cupped his fists and said.

Lu Bu said in a low voice: "The emperor must have known what happened in the state pastoral mansion. This Marquis does not want the slightest accident to Miss Xiu'er, and none of the assassins in the Black Clothes Pavilion operating in Pengcheng will be left behind."

"I understand." Wang Yue nodded, he could feel Lu Bu's anger at this moment, such a thing would happen to anyone, the assassins were rampant, provoking Lu Bu's majesty.

Heiyige has a good reputation in the Jianghu, but it does not mean that they have the strength to provoke Lu Bu. At this time, Lu Bu is the prince in charge of most of Xuzhou and Yanzhou. He is powerful. Offending Lu Bu, he must pay accordingly. Awareness of price.

"Miss Xiu'er's safety must be guaranteed." Lu Bu urged again.

After Wang Yue left the State Shepherd's Mansion, he kept thinking about what happened tonight. Heiyige's action in Pengcheng gave him an unbelievable feeling. What kind of courage was needed to assassinate Lu Bu in Pengcheng? After taking over the task of assassination, it is often a situation of endless death. It also depends on who is placed on it. If something happens to Lu Bu in Pengcheng, what kind of changes will be brought about.

Not only Wang Yue, but Lu Bu also sensed that something was wrong. The assassin's attack in the Black Clothes Pavilion, combined with the recent situation of the Chu family and Zhao family in the city, made Lu Bu feel more uneasy.

"Shi A, come here to protect Jia Xu," Lu Bu said.

It was late at night, and the state pastoral mansion was still brightly lit. The servants in the mansion were not allowed to move around at will. In the mansion, there were guards in strong clothes everywhere.

These personal guards looked serious. What happened in the state pastoral mansion made them realize that Pengcheng is not as stable as they imagined. Their most important task is to ensure the safety of Lu Bu. If they can't even do this, They are just remiss.

Personal guards, at critical moments, dare to sacrifice their lives to protect the safety of the monarch.

To be selected as a personal guard is an honor for the soldiers in the army, and it is a heavy responsibility. If something like this goes wrong, it will be the most deadly.

"My lord, from the humble point of view, the actions of the assassins in the Black Clothes Pavilion are not as simple as they appear on the surface." Jia Xu thought for a moment after listening to Lu Bu's narration.

Lu Bu said: "The actions of the assassins in the Black Clothes Pavilion must have a purpose."

Jia Xu suddenly said: "My lord, you can quickly order people to go to the place where Tao Qian is being held to check."

Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Bu immediately issued the order.

"The men of the Black Clothes Pavilion must have other means to overthrow the Lord's rule in Xuzhou. Otherwise, it would be difficult to do so with the help of these assassins. I even suspect that this matter is not only It is related to the aristocratic family in the city, and may even be related to other princes in the book." Jia Xu said in a slightly low voice.

Lu Bu's eyes tightened, "Is there any connection with other princes?"

"Pengcheng, there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers in the Xuzhou army. These soldiers are loyal to the lord and can guarantee the stability of Xuzhou. If the lord is in an accident, what will happen to the army? It is to prevent the army outside the city from getting timely and effective orders." Jia Xu analyzed: "Peiguo and Pengcheng are close, and after the war in Yanzhou, the state of Jin, although the lord and Yuan Shu are still in an alliance, Yuan Shu treats the lord differently. It's becoming more and more fearful."

"Tao Qian is under house arrest in the city for the Lord. The assassins of the Black Clothes Pavilion can infiltrate the State Shepherd's Mansion. It is a breeze to rescue Tao Qian. Tao Qian was the governor of Xuzhou before. If the family sees hope, there will still be someone on Tao Qian's side."

"These people will act together. When the time comes, Pengcheng will change hands."

Lv Bu's heart trembled, and through Jia Xu's analysis, he saw the danger of this matter.

"Wenhe, tell me what to do?" Lu Bu said, "Young people, this Marquis has always been tolerant. No matter who is involved in this matter, I will not let it go."

From Lu Bu's words, Tao Qian felt Ling Lie's killing intent. It is difficult for any monarch to understand such a thing. The princes who are in charge of one side hate the betrayal of their subordinates the most. , They want to drive the monarch out, and what will follow will be the most severe punishment for the monarch.

When some families make such a decision, they should have thought of such consequences.

Sometimes, it's not that the monarch's behavior is ruthless, but that the monarch has to do this in order to better protect his own status.

Jia Xu thought for a moment and said: "My lord, the situation in the city is urgent now, and the people who acted secretly may have already acted. If the lord claimed to be assassinated and seriously injured, let's see how many officials in Xuzhou betrayed the lord. more stable."

Chapter 227

Lu Bu showed a stern smile, "From Wen He's point of view, when the time comes, these officials who jump out, no matter who they are or what kind of family background they have behind them, will die without a place to bury them."

"It's just doing this, there will be certain risks." Jia Xu said.

Lu Bu laughed loudly and said, "Risk? I have never been afraid of the so-called risk. When I came to Xuzhou, it was a risky move in Wen He's opinion. I am confident that these people will all be crowned heads."

"My lord, it will be like this later..." Jia Xu whispered in his ear.

Lu Bu thought about it for a while, and agreed. Jia Xu's plan was obviously more daring than Lu Bu imagined.

Under the cover of night, more than two hundred soldiers in strong and sharp clothes came towards the west of the city. If you observe carefully, you will find that the equipment of these soldiers is obviously different from that of the soldiers of the Han army. sword.

And the aura exuded by this team is extremely sturdy.

The two leaders were the children of the Zhao family and the Chu family. At the same time, many places in the east of the city were on fire, and the flames were fierce.

The silent Pengcheng suddenly became lively.

Lu Bu has extremely strict control over the Xuzhou army. It is obviously difficult to instigate the generals in the army to rebel against Lu Bu, and the servants in the family can turn into brave soldiers at critical moments. The loyalty of these servants to the family.
