Mythic version of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 397 Unreasonable Assassination
Chen Xi looked at Tao Qian's gray hair, and his figure holding a cane to greet Liu Bei, and sighed silently, time is really not forgiving.

"Meet Tao Gong." Liu Bei led Chen Xi and his party to salute Tao Qian.

"Xuande is right." Tao Qian bowed to Liu Bei with a hunched body and holding a cane, just like Hulaoguan in those days.

Although his body is dying, he still retains the bloody spirit of a military general. Perhaps the killing during this period of time made Tao Qian feel the atmosphere of fighting back then while being unable to do what he wanted.

"Tao Gong." Liu Bei stretched out his hand to support Tao Qian. He clearly felt that Tao Qian's time was numbered.

"Hahaha, it doesn't have to be like this." Tao Qian laughed, but he clearly felt the sadness of a hero's twilight, "Come with me, I recognize the two behind you, Chen Zichuan, this one should be the designer Cao Mengde Jia Wenhe."

"Wenhe met Mr. Tao." Jia Xu bowed calmly.

"Xuande asked Danyang soldiers to follow your troops to station outside the city. You can bring civil servants and generals with me." Tao Qian nodded to Jia Xu, and then said to Liu Bei. Give it to Liu Bei.

"Tao Gong should see the doctor first." Liu Bei stretched out his hand to support Tao Qian, and then gave Hua Tuo a look.

"No need, I know my body. It's not an exaggeration to say that I'm terminally ill. I thought Cao Mengde and I were like-minded, but it's a pity..." Tao Qian was obviously disappointed when he said this, but compared to Cao Cao's broken body at the time When he believed, it is obvious that he has seen a lot now.

"Wenhe, have you noticed something strange." Chen Xi said in a low voice, "Although Tao Qian killed all the disobedient Xuzhou families, it's not so deserted. The guards, Chen Deng, and Tao Qian's courtiers, there are not many other families."

"If Tao Gongzu dies at this time, who will benefit the most and who will be the most troublesome?" Jia Xu said silently looking at the city of Xiapi.

"You mean someone is going to put Tao Qian to death at this time?" Chen Xi frowned. If Tao Qian died at this time, although Xuzhou Liu Bei would accept it, the blow to Liu Bei's reputation would be a bit big. , and more importantly, there are many people who have excuses.

"Don't worry, I have already made an arrangement. With Zilong and Zhongkang by my side, even if it rains arrows, it is impossible to hurt Tao Gongzu." Jia Xu said calmly, "Although I don't know who is behind the flames, but this is very important to him. It's an opportunity for us."

Although the conversation between Chen Xi and Jia Xu was very low, and they were far away from Zhao Yun and Xu Chu, they both had sharp eyes and ears, and after listening to Chen Xi's questioning, they both approached Liu Bei calmly.

"Bang!" With a soft sound, several huge black crossbow arrows struck in the direction of Tao Qian and Liu Bei. Zhao Yun and Xu Chu both shot, and pushed them far away with their inner energy, and then Zhao Yun held the Yitian sword Jumping towards the city wall, I saw that Zhao Yun hadn't landed on the city wall, and a large rain of arrows shot towards Zhao Yun, Liu Bei and others under the city.

"Zilong be careful!" Liu Bei only reacted at this time and shouted.

Zhao Yun moved a few feet out of thin air, dodged all the crossbow bolts, and then slashed towards the city wall with the Yitian sword in his right hand. A dozen sword lights instantly killed those who were manipulating the bed crossbow and were about to attack Liu Bei again. soldiers.

Chen Xi opened the folding fan and waved at the arrows coming from the sky. The strong wind blew some of the arrows in one direction, and Xu Chu shot down the remaining arrows with his sword.

Then Xu Chu brandished a broadsword and rushed towards the black-clothed troops pouring out of the city gate. He opened and closed, ignoring the opponent's tight military formation, and beheaded dozens of people. Then the tiger guards rushed forward and directly killed a group of assassins. After defeating and beheading nearly a hundred people, several people were captured.

Jia Xu picked up an arrow, frowned, and looked at the tip of Wulan, "Strong poison, but it's very strange. I knew this would happen, but it was different from what I expected."

A hidden Taoist priest in the city gate, with Zuo Ci's disciple Ah Zui, silently watched Liu Bei's actions to wipe out those dead men, and constantly evaluated the strength of Liu Bei's men.

[It seems that the destiny should be on Liu Xuande, and the rest should be Cao Mengde. The battle of Xuzhou is tantamount to saying that Liu Xuande's destiny robbed Cao Mengde's destiny, so what would happen if a man of destiny was killed? 】The Taoist priest hidden in the city gate was a little excited, he found that he might know how to restore the glory of these "immortals".

[Both Cao Mengde and Liu Xuande obviously have the ability to counter us, Zuo Ci bet on Liu Xuande, Li Jin is optimistic about Cao Mengde, both of them are cautious people, plus a group of civil servants and fierce generals, ordinary assassination methods will have no effect . 】The Taoist thought carefully about the strength of Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and silently gave up the idea of ​​continuing to test.

[It seems that I can only find another Destiny Man, I hope it is not Yuan Benchu, otherwise, I can only use the Cao Cao scale to weigh it. 】The Taoist priest glanced at Zhao Yun's direction, then quickly withdrew his gaze, and quickly left with a sinful figure eager to try.

"Has Zilong ever been injured?" Liu Bei saw Zhao Yun jump down the city wall and looked him up and down.

"Yun Wuyang." Zhao Yun said calmly, then frowned slightly, swept across the city gate, and then wondered if he was mentally allergic.

"I made Xuande laugh." Tao Qian was not intimidated by the scene in front of him at all. On the contrary, he was still thinking about joking with Liu Bei, but it was obvious that a cold light flashed in Tao Qian's eyes at the moment he spoke. Ignorant, no matter whether he was provoked or not, Tao Qian, who has already been half buried in the ground, has no thought of showing mercy, "Xuzhou has a lot of young people, and they can't stop killing them!"

In this way, Liu Bei and Tao Qian completely ignored the assassins in front of the city gate and led a group of men towards Xiapi Mansion Yamen indifferently.

"Wen He, what did you just say?" Chen Xi asked behind Liu Bei.

"This matter is wrong, and there is a huge deviation from what I inferred. That is to say, someone has intervened, but why is he intervening now? And since he intervened, it is just a trial and it ends. This is unreasonable." Jia Xu said with a slightly gloomy expression.

"Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu's actions would definitely not be so hasty. For other princes, what is the purpose of such actions? This kind of intensity is not like assassination, but probing." Li You said in a low voice.

"Don't worry about it so much, this matter will be exposed on Cao Mengde's head. We can create whatever conditions we need, and the aristocratic family can kill them once." Chen Xi said calmly, "We don't need to be concerned about this matter." Hold tight and hold on, it’s better to do it than to do it!”
