Uncle, please help the Han family

Leading by a big item at the beginning, this advantage cannot be let go.

"Zhou Ling, touch it."

Without writing his disobedience on his face, Liu Yu pulled his hand away and said casually to Zhou Ling on the side.

"Here, my lord."

After receiving Liu Yu's order, Zhou Ling stretched out his left hand to the sacred stone without even thinking about it.

But I don't know if it was because she was holding on to complete the order, and the moment her palm touched the stone, she didn't seem to have as strong a reaction as herself, and even covered her entire hand on it.

Could it be that this is also a famous amateur general who can use legendary weapons?

"Don't you have that uncomfortable feeling?" Liu Yu asked puzzled.

"There is a bit of tingling pain, but it's not very strong." Zhou Ling replied, "I'm incompetent, and I was not selected by the god stone."

Indeed, it looked different from just now.

When Liu Yu touched it, she almost got electrocuted just by getting close, but she still put her hand on it now.

Sure enough, this is a kind of psychic thing whose backlash effect becomes weaker the stronger the toucher is.

After all, Zhou Ling is also the kind of powerhouse who singled out a dozen barbarians and would only mess up her hairstyle, so Mother Stone didn't particularly reject her.

If it is Zilong...should be able to control it!

"Let's go." Liu Yu, who had probably figured out the characteristics of this ore, was about to leave.

The officials in charge of guarding took Liu Yu and the others out with a sigh of relief.

When leaving the warehouse, Liu Yu suddenly stopped the little man and asked, "What will happen if this stone is lost in the treasury?"

"..." Hearing these words, the official turned pale with fright.

"Worriless, joking." Liu Yu patted him on the shoulder and comforted him.

I'm kidding you!

"..." The official obviously couldn't bear such a joke, his body was still very stiff, and he stammered, "Every link from mining to transportation to Luoyang has a special person in charge. If the escort goes wrong , officials will definitely be severely held accountable.”

Ang, it is a state secret weapon after all, what is the purpose of your local stockpiling this thing, rebellion?

Liu Yu nodded in understanding, then left the treasury without asking any more questions.

Along the way, looking at these NPC-like guys, he felt a little complicated.

If it's really just an NPC, then you won't feel guilty for doing such a heinous thing.

However, these seem to be people.

"Zhou Ling."

When he was in Zhou Mu's mansion, Liu Yu called the door god outside.

"Subordinates are here."

"Secretly select one hundred sets of clothes and soft armor captured by the barbarians, and fifty barbarian flags."

Liu Yu in history was the kind of benevolent lord who did not let the soldiers destroy the houses when he crusaded against Gongsun Zan, but the big man was not so lucky to get such a ruler who loved the people like a son.

Some things have to be done by someone.

Even if it is, immoral.

For this strange request, Zhou Ling, as the head of the personal bodyguard, thought about the reason in her heart, but it did not prevent her from implementing it without reason: "Here."

Chapter 17 Why did the adults rebel? !

In the evening, the color of the sky has dimmed, and within a few sticks of incense, night will come.

Because it is not conducive to traveling at night, the team escorting the sacred stone is stationed in an open space in a certain valley.

There are a total of 50 people in this team, all of whom are from the Central Army in Luoyang, responsible for escorting the rough minerals mined from Youzhou to the capital.

However, unlike previous escort missions, this time the escort was not a convoy, but a carriage.

But the things hidden in the carriage are worth more than an army of a thousand men.

After all, for a general who can use magic weapons, it is no problem to face an enemy of a thousand with his own strength.

Beside a bonfire, two mid-level officers sat down, and one of them (the commander of Unit 100) seemed a little leisurely with grass roots in his mouth.

The adjutant next to him, who was half a level lower than him, said a little uneasy: "Brother, you should go to a nearby county to rest as soon as possible. This wilderness always makes people feel a little flustered."

"There's nothing to panic about. We're a small team, and the route is absolutely confidential. It's too ostentatious to go to the city."

"But it's hard to deal with bandits in this kind of place."

"What kind of bandits dare to attack officers and soldiers? Court death!"

"That's right, I'm afraid that what I meet is a barbarian."

"Nonsense, where are the barbarians in this kind of place? Forget it, let's stop talking to you, I'll go to sleep, you look good on the stone."

The officer stretched himself, got up and walked to the edge of the tent, preparing to sleep, while the adjutant was sitting around the campfire, warming up and humming a little song.

It was summer at this time, although it was hot during the day, it was still a bit cool at night, especially because Youzhou was mountainous, and the valley wind blowing from the mountain stream was even more humid with moisture.

The adjutant sat on the ground, watching the burning flame jump up and down.

Through the crimson flame, there is a dark night outside.

All of a sudden, he seemed to cast firelight, saw the firelight, and like the stars in the sky, one after another, spread all over the entire mountain, as if they were also beating...

"...the torch." The official suddenly woke up, then got up quickly, drew out the sword at his waist and shouted, "There are enemies!"

For a moment, several soldiers surrounded the big box directly, reflexively protecting the god stone.

However, the lit bonfire completely exposed them to the light.

Shua Shua Shua, dozens of arrows flew in unison, and the six soldiers who were closest to protect the stone fell to the ground on the spot.

Killing roars came from all directions.

"Hu people's flags..." The officer recognized these flags, not the Han army, and after a rough estimate, he was frightened, "There are at least fifty flags, that is to say... at least a thousand A fool!"

"What to do? What to do?!" The adjutant retreated while holding the sword, making a defensive posture, "I lost something, but I will be beheaded!"

"It's possible to kill the head. But if you fight with them now, you will definitely die!"

"Then drop something and run like this?!"

"It's not running, it's... it's looking for rescuers. We'll go back to Jicheng and seek help from Mr. State Shepherd!"

Really unable to resist the thousands of barbarians, the dozens of soldiers escorting the stone immediately "coaxed" and fled in a hurry.

However, these barbarians did not kill them all as usual, and they didn't even shoot arrows on a large scale. Instead, they rushed directly to the big box that was sealed layer by layer with black mother stone ropes.

……

Two days later.

"My lord! My lord, it's a big deal... no, it's not good!"

In the middle of the night, Zhao Gai, who was not driving in Youzhou, went directly to the state shepherd's mansion by car. After greeting the servants of the mansion, he rushed in at a trot.

"Master Zhao, why are you disturbing me?"

Hearing that Zhao should be visiting, Liu Yu got up from the bed in light underwear, without even wearing socks, and dragged on his clogs to go to the hall.

"Big big big thing..."

Zhao Gai would stutter to this extent only in an emergency.

But the more important reason is that he is not very good at running because he is overweight.

"Look at the tea." Liu Yu sat down in the chief seat unhurriedly, and then instructed the servant beside him.

Sitting on the seat, took a big sip of water, and adjusted his breath for a while, Zhao Gaicai was barely able to say: "The things were robbed."

"What is it, explain it clearly." Liu Yu said calmly as water.

"It's a stone." After Zhao Gai calmed down, he stopped stammering and conveyed the message very fluently, "When I was escorting the sacred stone to Luoyang, I was suddenly attacked by barbarians on the way. Robbed!"

"Is there such a thing?" Liu Yu showed a look of surprise.

"It is true." Zhao Gai nodded, and said very seriously, "And the place where he was intercepted was very strange. According to the logic, the barbarian can only go there by bypassing Jicheng. So... definitely It was because someone got out and exposed the route that they encountered this ambush."

"Then there is an inner ghost in Youzhou!"

"I didn't expect that there would be such a thing... Now it's tricky." Zhao Gai was airborne with Liu Yu, so he was also quite surprised that the pond in Youzhou was so deep.

Only a few days after I came here, I encountered these things.

Could it be that the state shepherd was attacked last time because someone tipped off the barbarians?

Thinking hard!

"If the sacred stone is lost, will the imperial court blame us?" Liu Yu held the pottery cup with his hand, glanced at the other party with a little concern, and spoke very slowly, showing no anxiety.

"That's not very likely. Because the soldiers and officials who mined, guarded, and transported the mother stone were all appointed by the imperial court. Local officials in Youzhou have no right to intervene in the mother stone, so it has nothing to do with us if something happens."

"Then what are you worried about?"

"What I care about is that if the stone falls into the hands of the barbarian, it will be like sharpening the minions of the rich wolf, which is not good for Youzhou!" Zhao Gai is very scared now.

Originally, it was difficult to fight against Hu, but now it is not easy!

"Then what should we do?" Liu Yu seemed like an idiot with no opinion, only asking questions.

"My lord, the barbarians should not have gone far. They are near Guangyang County, or... have already reached Shanggu." After being attacked that time, Zhao Gai was already a little afraid of the barbarians, so he said very seriously, "We have to catch up." Get back the stone before they get out!"

"Then go and look for it." Liu Yu ordered, and then added, "Do your best, and it's okay if you can't find it. Don't delay making weapons and farming. That is our fundamental strategy."

"..." Zhao Gai didn't know why the lord was so calm, as if all he had lost was a cart of grain, so he showed a rather puzzled look, "I don't understand, why...it's okay if you can't find it?"

The Hu people are difficult to support repeatedly, and the reason why they are willing to coexist peacefully is nothing more than the high price of aggression.

But if this balance changes subtly, then they will intensify, this is absolute!

"That's a good question." Liu Yu got up from his seat, and then walked towards the master bedroom, "Master Zhao, come here."

Although Zhao Gai was puzzled, he followed, and the two of them walked to the bedroom where Liu Yu slept.

The room is quite big.

"What is the meaning of my lord leading me here?"

Zhao Gai had never heard of the principle of discussing state affairs in the bedroom, so he seemed quite puzzled.

And Liu Yu didn't make any response, just took out a sword that was hung on the sword stand, given by the emperor, slid slowly, and then put the tip of the sword against a black cloth.

Open the cloth, below is a boxy big box.

Zhao Gai may have guessed what was in the box.

Slowly raising his head, he looked at Liu Yu in astonishment, he was too shocked to say a word, but his heart was already galloping.

Why did your lord rebel? !

Chapter 18 The Building Will Fall

The sacred stone was intercepted during the escort, and the banner of the barbarians was left behind after the looting. The escaped soldiers also claimed to have seen the barbarians, but now the stone is placed in the bedroom of the state shepherd.

Which link is wrong?

If you would think this way in a simple way, it turns out that the lord has already sent troops to hunt down the Hu people, and he has protected the country's property intact, and will wait for another day to escort him to the capital.

But as a politician, it is impossible to be pure.

What's more, the lord also sent people to bring all the relatives from Xuzhou's hometown to Jicheng.

Isn't this a sign of rebellion? !

Zhao Gai's eyes were full of astonishment, but apart from the shock, there was also a trace of 'police' concealed by his simple and honest appearance.

He is different from himself, he is not a time traveler, he does not have any grand ambitions, he is just doing his duty to work, but his position is a bit high, he is the second in command in Youzhou.

Therefore, when he learned that he had filmed the disobedience of sending people pretending to be Hu people to rob the imperial transport vehicle, he already had the idea of ​​​​drawing a clear line.

What he was afraid of was the ornately decorated sword in Liu Yu's hand.

Holding the sword hilt, Liu Yu didn't speak, and walked slowly towards Zhao Gai. Although the opponent remained vigilant, he had no intention of grabbing the sword with his bare hands and killing him, let alone fleeing.
