On this day, Lu Bu was playing with the children in the garden. This unparalleled man was riding a horse for the children, while the ladies were drinking tea and chatting in the pavilion, and the whole family was enjoying themselves.

Xu Shu came to see Lu Bu with a pile of letters in his arms. This was his daily job. When Lu Bu saw Xu Shu coming, he put down the child on his back and walked into the study with Xu Shu.

The tablets recorded everything that had happened in the world in recent days. Lu Bu spent a lot of money to send 100,000 Mohist disciples to various counties and counties in the world to collect intelligence so that he could keep track of the world's trends at all times.

One of the pieces of news attracted Lu Bu's attention. Recently, someone has recruited a large number of knight-errant swordsmen in the Yanzhou area. It seems that there is a big move. At this time, seven to eight out of ten knight-errant swordsmen in the rivers and lakes are Mo Zhe. This is unusual. His actions naturally aroused their suspicion, so they wrote down the information and passed it to the Mohist headquarters in Yecheng.

Lu Bu took the slip and asked Xu Shu: "Yuanzhi, what do you think of this matter?"

Xu Shu took the slip, glanced at it, and said: "Recruiting knight-errant swordsmen is just for assassination, but recruiting nearly a hundred people this time is a big move."

Lu Bu said: "Who does Yuan Zhi think is recruiting the knight-errant swordsmen?"

Xu Shu said: "Each swordsman's reward is as high as a hundred gold. Presumably this person is either rich or noble, and he is probably a member of the imperial court."

When Lu Bu heard the word "court", he felt that the situation was not good. "This matter must have involved the powerful people in the court. The letter submitted ten days ago recorded an auspicious event in Luoyang. I felt that something was about to happen. Sure enough, it seems that he took action after all." .”

Xu Shu said: "What do you mean, my lord? The King of Wei is going to overstep his bounds and proclaim himself emperor?"

Lu Bu said: "Taking this series of events together, there is only one explanation. These assassins are afraid that they will attack the scholars of Yingchuan."

Xu Shu was a little confused: "The Yingchuan gentry is the leader of the gentry in the world. Isn't King Wei afraid of losing the hearts of the gentry in the world with this move?"

Lu Bu waved his hand, "Cao Pi can't do such a thing, I'm afraid it's someone else."

Xu Shu asked: "My lord is talking about someone else. Is this the one he is referring to?"

Lu Bu nodded, "The people Yuan Zhi has in mind are the same as me. It seems that this time I will take action to rescue Cao Mengde's former think tank. Go to the Yecheng military camp quickly and call Chen Dao and Zhao Yun. see me."

At present, all the troops in Hebei are concentrated in the Guandu camp, and all counties and counties are stationed in the field. Only Yecheng still retains the two ace troops of the Langqi camp and the trap camp. Among them, Chen Dao and Zhao Yun are both affiliated with the Langqi camp.

An hour later, Chen Dao and Zhao Yun arrived at the general's mansion, and Lu Bu called them to the front hall to talk.

Lu Bu got straight to the point: "Uncle Zhi, Zilong, I have asked you to come here because I have a big thing to do for you."

Chen Dao said: "But according to the master's instructions, the general Mo and Zilong will do whatever they want."

Lu Bu continued: "I know that you two are superb in martial arts. Now that you are appointed to the position of captain in the Wolf Cavalry Camp, it is true that you are overqualified and underqualified. If this can be done, I will promote you to the position of school captain."

When Chen Dao and Zhao Yun heard that they had the opportunity to be promoted to school captain, they quickly knelt down to thank them.

Lu Bu helped the two men up and said: "After you return to the military camp, immediately prepare dry food and travel to Yingchuan at starry night. Be sure to bring Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Xi Zhong and Cheng Yu back to Yecheng. This matter It’s a very important matter, and in the entire Wolf Riding Camp, only the two of you can complete it.”

Chen Dao and Zhao Yun knew the seriousness of the matter and did not stay much. They bid farewell to Lu Bu and returned to the military camp. Watching the two people leaving, Lu Bu looked at the sky and remembered the past: "Brother Mengde, from now on it will be up to me to complete your unfinished ideals. May you rest in peace under the Nine Springs and bless me to achieve great achievements."

The killer group organized by Deng Ai advanced towards Yingchuan County. Many swordsmen deliberately delayed time and stopped and stopped. Although Deng Ai was their employer, he did not dare to force them to speed up. The trip originally only took one day, so he insisted on delaying it. For ten whole days. This gave Chen Dao and Zhao Yun enough time. They set off from Yecheng, worked hard, and finally arrived at Yingchuan County before the killer group.

Chen Dao said: "Zilong, do you know the people we want to protect this time?"

Zhao Yun said: "When I was serving under General Liu Bei, I met Cheng Yu once on the battlefield."

Chen Dao quickly interrupted Zhao Yun, "Zilong must never mention Liu Bei again in the future. The person my lord hates the most is Liu Bei. We must not violate the taboo."

Zhao Yun nodded, "Thank you, Uncle Zhi. I understand. Let's start with Cheng Yu now."

Chen Dao agreed, and after asking passers-by, the two came to Cheng Yu's home.

Cheng Yu was not surprised by the arrival of the two of them. After all, a few days ago, someone from Jiangdong came to invite him to serve as an official. He greeted the two of them to take a seat, "You two are here this time. Could it be that Lu Fengxian wants to invite me to Hebei?"

Chen Dao took out Lu Bu's autographed letter before leaving and handed it to Cheng Yu, "Sir, you will understand naturally after reading this letter."

Cheng Yu opened the seal and took out the letter. When he saw the content of the letter, he couldn't help but wonder: "I have followed the previous king to conquer the world for more than ten years and devoted myself to it. How could the new king kill me? Is this Lu Fengxian's plan to alienate me?"

Zhao Yun said: "My master, Gongyi Bo Yuntian, cherishes my husband's talent and allows me to travel thousands of miles to come here. If you don't believe me, you can discuss it with Guo Fengxiao and Xi Zhicai before making a decision."

Cheng Yu said: "What a coincidence, these two people are visiting my house. Please wait a moment. I will give you an answer after we have finished discussing."

After that, Cheng Yu returned to the study. Xi Zhong and Guo Jia were playing chess. When he saw Cheng Yu coming back, Xi Zhong asked with a smile: "Which prince invited Zhongde to come out this time?"

Cheng Yu only said two words: "North." Then he took out Lu Bu's letter.

After Xi Zhong and Guo Jia read it, they were both thinking about the authenticity of the content of the letter. After a while, Guo Jia spoke first: "What is said in the letter is that the late king was harmed by Cao Pi. I think it is a big mistake. Although Mr. Pi is not favored by the late king, , but after all, father and son are connected, how dare Cao Pi commit the grave crime of patricide? Also, Cao Pi wants to kill veterans like me, isn't he afraid that the world's scholars will turn against him?"

Xi Zhong nodded and agreed with Guo Jia: "What Fengxiao said is the same as mine. This is Lu Fengxian's plan to alienate each other. When the late king was still alive, he once said that the heroes of the world are Cao and Buer. Now that the late king has passed away, Lu Bu's ambition was exposed."

Cheng Yu said: "In your opinion, I should capture the two messengers."

Guo Jia said, "Of course. Now that it's getting late, let's take them down first and lock them in the woodshed. We will go to Xun's house tomorrow and hand them over to Wen Ruo."

Cheng Yu said: "Zhao Yun used to be extremely brave on the battlefield, no less brave than Xu Chu. I'm afraid the guards in my house won't be able to defeat him."

Xi Zhong smiled and said, "Zhong De can pretend to promise Zhao Yun and put the sweat medicine in the food, and this can be done."

Cheng Yu said: "When the late king was still alive, he often said that your talent for playing is the same as that of Chen Ping, and it is indeed true. The two of you will continue to play, and you will come back as soon as you leave."

After returning to the hall, Cheng Yu said: "The two generals have traveled hard, so let's eat first. Tomorrow I will take you two to see Xun Yu. He is the leader of the Yingchuan noble clan. If you want to defect to the general, you need his permission." "

Zhao Yun and Chen Dao had no doubt that he was there. They had been traveling for days and had already finished their dry food. They were also hungry, so they started to feast. But halfway through the meal, they felt dizzy, and then they fell to the ground.

Cheng Yu ordered his servants to lock Chen Dao and Zhao Yun in the woodshed until dawn.
