Chapter 604: His Majesty Is Missing

Xie Yan was standing by the bed with a stick in his hand. When he saw Zhao Yun coming in, he swung the stick in his hand and hit Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun dodged sideways and then grabbed Xie Yan's throat with one hand.

"Who are you?"

"The one who wants you dead."

After saying that, Zhao Yun exerted a little force and Xie Yan's neck was directly strangled.

Late at night, a big fire alarmed the whole Xuancheng.

Because the place where the fire was located was not an ordinary place, but the Xie family.

When everyone put out the fire, they saw only corpses on the ground.

Originally, Zhao Yun thought that he was doing it very secretly and it was impossible for anyone to know.

But not long after he left, that is, when the fire just started, someone had already discovered it, and this person was Xie Feng who was outside and preparing to go back.

He recognized at a glance that the person standing in front of the flame was Zhao Yun.

Xie Feng turned around and left without alarming anyone, but he was already thinking about revenge with Gu Rubing.

The next morning.

Wei Xi came to Gu Rubing's room and learned that the Xie family was gone. He immediately began to manipulate the Wei family and began to annex the Xie family.

The speed was so fast that by the time the other two families reacted, Wei Xi had already annexed the Xie family. Of course, the blockade of the news and the speed of annexation were also related to Gu Rubing's cooperation.

After solving the problems of the family, Gu Rubing returned to the front line.

"My lord, you are back. Is everything going well?"

Gu Rubing nodded and told Zhuge Liang about what happened.

"My lord, you are right. It is indeed safer to cooperate with the Wei family than with the Xie family. As long as Zhao Yun does it cleanly and is not discovered by the remaining people of the Xie family, it will be fine."

"Don't worry about this, Prime Minister. Zhao Yun is still very clean."

Zhuge Liang nodded, and then seemed to remember something, and hurriedly said: "My lord, Su Leina is looking for you!"

"Su Leina? He is not with Zhang Liao, why is he here?"

"From what he said, he is going to take people back."

"Go back? He hasn't done anything yet, and he is going to leave?"

In Gu Rubing's eyes, he really didn't have time to do anything, just annexed a few counties.

But he forgot that these things alone have cost the Anluo army 100,000 people.

"My lord, you should meet him."

Gu Rubing nodded.

Soon Su Leina followed Zhuge Liang in.

"King Lie, I'm ready to go back. I'll tell you before I leave."

"Go back? General Surena, we still have a lot of things to do. Why are we in such a hurry to go back? Did something happen to the Anluo Empire?"

Surena shook his head.

"Your Highness King Lie, our 100,000 expeditionary forces came to the Han Dynasty less than a month ago, and now there are less than 10,000 people left. We can't fight together. If we continue like this, I'm afraid there will be no one around me."

Gu Rubing realized that no matter how much loss his generals suffered, he could replenish them in time, but he couldn't replenish these people from the Anluo Empire, after all, they were not his own people.

"In that case, I won't keep the general. I hope we can still be friends when we meet next time. Remember to bring good things to King Yi."

Surena nodded and turned to leave.

Looking at Surena's back, Gu Rubing made a decision, that is, to rest.

And this time it was a thorough rest, he had decided not to fight any more.

During this period of time, I have been fighting, which has consumed astronomical figures for my soldiers and food. Now that my goal has been achieved, it is naturally a good time to rest. As long as Yangzhou is consolidated, my losses will be replenished soon.

As Gu Rubing settled down, the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty seemed to be quiet.

Five days later.

Gu Rubing washed up as usual and was about to go out.

A soldier came in with a cup of tea in his hand.

"Your Highness, please have tea."

Gu Rubing nodded, and when he was about to drink, Zhuge Liang came in with Hua Tuo.

"My Lord."

After seeing the two people coming, Gu Rubing put down the teacup and looked at Hua Tuo.

Hua Tuo has always been a person who does not come to the temple for no reason, and now he has come to me. There must be something to tell me.

When he was about to let the soldiers on the side leave, Hua Tuo suddenly smelled something and the smile on his face disappeared instantly.

As soon as the soldier reached the door, Hua Tuo called him.

"Who asked you to serve tea to the lord?"

The soldier hesitated for a moment and did not speak.

Gu Rubing was still a little confused and did not know what Hua Tuo meant, but after seeing the soldier's look, Gu Rubing reacted instantly and looked at the teacup beside him.

Hua Tuo immediately shouted: "Come on, take him down."

After hearing this, the soldier immediately drew out the dagger and was about to stab Hua Tuo.

Hua Tuo was good at playing with medicinal materials, but his skills were not as good as those of ordinary people. He could only watch the dagger stab him and could not even resist.

However, just when the dagger was about to reach Hua Tuo, a hand suddenly stretched out and directly grasped the dagger.

Drops of blood flowed from his hand.

Hua Tuo hurriedly looked at the owner of the hand and found that it was Gu Rubing. 、

"Lord!"

"Lord!"

Two sounds were made at the same time.

Immediately after several soldiers rushed in and directly caught the assassin on the ground.

Hua Yan hurried forward and checked the wound.

This was relieved, at least there was no poison on the dagger.

After simply bandaging Gu Ru Bing, Hua Yan came to Gu Ru Bing's tea cup.

Here the tea cup directly, smelled it in front of his nose, and then threw the tea cup on the ground in front of everyone.

The tea sprinkled on the ground, and some white foam was glowing.

Gu Ru Bing could not help but be shocked.

If you are drunk by yourself, I am afraid that you will be on the spot.

"Who are you?"

Zhuge Liang walked in front of the assassin and stared at the assassin in front of him.

At this time, Zhuge Liang had some guilt in his heart. With himself, he would let the assassin enter the army. The most important thing is that this assassin still has a chance to enter Gu Ru Bing's side.

No matter what this, it is the negligence of his prime minister plus military division.

At this moment, when I was about to bite my tongue, I rushed out, stuck the jaws with one hand, and gently hard, and only when I heard the "click", the assassin's chin was completely dislocated.

The assassin completely lost his ability to suicide.

Gu Ru Bing saw that it turned out to be Zhang Ren.

"Lord, this is my men, ask the Lord to atone for sin!"

Gu Ru Bing looked at Zhang Ren without talking.

Zhuge Liang's tone was with a few cold.

"General Zhang Ren, this assassin has arrived at the side of the protagonist, or your person. If it wasn't for Mr. Hua Yan, what would the protagonist look like now, I dare not imagine, do you still want the protagonist to atone for sin?"

Zhang Ren trembled at this time. He didn't know what to do at this situation, but if he really lost his life because of this kind of thing, he was really losing. Liu Bei is because I don't want to die, but now there seems to be no difference.

"Okay."

Gu Ruhing waved his hand and then looked at Zhang Ren.

"Pass the order and clean up the barracks."

"yes!"

Zhang Ren nodded and hurriedly left here.

Gu Ru Bing then looked at the assassin in front of him. He knew that no matter what he asked, the assassin would not tell him anything.

Soon, several crossbow school captains came in and brought people into the cell.

There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!

After everyone leaves, Zhuge Liang looks at Gu Rubing.

"Lord, the killer is definitely not the so -called princes like Sun Jian Cao Cao. Instead, it is similar to the style of the family and the great family. If we need to investigate, we can start with the family of the family."

Gu Ru Bing nodded, he also felt like this, and such a assassination method made Gu Ru Bing a little shocked, even some after fear. If Hua Yan appeared here, even if it was a legendary conspirator Zhuge Liang, I am afraid that it would not help to help. What you are.

Gu Ru Bing was busy here for a day, but found nothing.

I do n’t know when the assassin will appear, let Gu Ru Bing sleep a little, and open the door to see Zhao Yun standing at his door.

"Zilong, why don't you rest?"

"Lord, I heard that you met the assassin during the day. I'm afraid the assassin attacked you at night.

Gu Ru Bing nodded with a smile, took a pot of wine to the yard, looked at the moonlight, and said nothing.

At the same time, Yizhou Chengdu.

In a yard, there was a person sitting in the yard like Gu Ru Bing, drinking the moonlight on his head.

"Shang Xiang, don't you go to rest?"

Cao Zhang came over.

It has been more than half a month since the wedding of the two, but neither of them live together, and they have always slept separately.

"Can't sleep."

Cao Zhang heard the words and sat directly opposite Sun Shangxiang.

Cao Zhang has never observed Sun Shangxiang well before. This time, through the moonlight, Cao Zhang found that Sun Shangxiang was very good, especially when the silver moonlight sprinkled it on her, making people have an urge to hold it.

"I just received a message, maybe you will be interested, Liu Bei was assassinated!"

When Sun Shangxiang heard the news, the glass in his hand fell on the table.

Soon she reacted, took the wine glass, and drank the wine that was not sprinkled inside.

She was calm a lot.

"oh."

Sun Shangxiang's every move was in Cao Zhang's gaze.

Seeing the panic of Sun Shangxiang just now, Cao Zhang's heart seemed to be pierced by a needle.

"So your choice is him?"

For Cao Zhang's words, Sun Shangxiang still looked at the moonlight as if he couldn't understand.

Cao Zhang drank a sip of wine, then threw the wine glass in his hand on the ground, grabbed Sun Shangxiang and pulled it towards the room.

For all of this, Sun Shangxiang has no intention of resisting at all. No matter what Cao Zhang is doing, she is like a line puppet, without expression and no slightest action.

Cao Zhang held Sun Shangxiang on the bed and looked at Sun Shangxiang's eyesless look. In the end, he gave up.

Sitting on the chair aside and watching Sun Shangxiang for a long time.

"Let's go!"

These three words seem to open the switch on Sun Shangxiang.

Sun Shangxiang stood up from the bed suddenly and looked at Cao Zhang with a surprised face.

"Are you sure you want me to leave?"

"Let's go, before I change my mind. I, Cao Zhang, can get whatever I want. There is no need to waste my energy on you."

"Thank you."

After Sun Shangxiang finished speaking, she walked directly outside.

"Wait a minute, take the token with you, otherwise you can't leave Chengdu."

"Thank you!"

Sun Shangxiang took the token without a trace of nostalgia.

Looking at Sun Shangxiang's back, Cao Zhang clenched his fists.

"Liu Bei, I hope you don't let her down."

Gu Rubing was drinking and sneezed directly.

"My lord, it's cold, let's go back and rest?"

Zhao Yun stayed here with Gu Rubing for a long time, but he never said a word. It was only now that he said a word.

"Okay."

Gu Rubing nodded, and when he was about to get up and leave, a person hurried over.

"Who is it, stop!"

Zhao Yun stood in front of Gu Rubing and looked at the person running over vigilantly.

"My lord, I am the captain of the lower crossbow, the centurion, Chen Feng."

Gu Rubing looked at the person who came over. Although he didn't remember the man called Chen Feng, he remembered that the face in front of him was a little familiar.

"Zilong, it's one of us."

With Gu Rubing's affirmation, Zhao Yun finally relaxed.

Chen Feng came to Gu Rubing and knelt on the ground.

"My lord, something happened in the palace, and His Majesty is missing!"

"What?"

Gu Rubing didn't expect that the emperor would be missing at this time.

"Have you blocked the city gates?"

"Yes, after we learned that His Majesty was missing, we immediately blocked the four city gates that could lead out of the city. But we got the news late, so we didn't know whether His Majesty was still in Xudu at that time."

"What do you think of people? What are Lu Su and others doing? Where is Zhang Ren? Where is Chen Dao? What are they doing?"

"My lord, before His Majesty disappeared, there were suddenly many bandits around Xudu for some reason. Almost everyone who wanted to enter Xudu was robbed by these bandits, even Lord Lu Su. When General Zhang Ren learned about it, he took people out to clean up the bandits, so when His Majesty was lost, General Zhang Ren was not present."

"Call the Prime Minister."

It didn't take long for Zhuge Liang to come to Gu Rubing in a hurry.

Before coming, Zhuge Liang learned about what happened.

"My Lord, this bandit must be related to your Majesty's disappearance, otherwise it is just too coincidental. And this incident should still have nothing to do with Cao Cao and Sun Jian. Our spies in both places have not sent back any information. In addition, Sun Jian is busy organizing Jiaozhou, and Cao Cao is recuperating. It is impossible for them to directly attack Sili."

"So what the Prime Minister means is the aristocratic family?"

Zhuge Liang nodded. Now the only explanation is this. (End of this chapter)
