Dressed as a young King Zhuang of Chu

Kuaima left the state of Chu, then went north, and entered the border between the state of Jin and the state of Zheng.There are mixed fish and dragons here, but it is convenient to avoid people's eyes and ears.They changed their equipment in the bazaar here, and they no longer put on hard clothes, but dressed up as small traders doing business, drove a carriage, loaded some goods, and swaggered into Luoyi.

Shadow knew that the two of them were going to take risks, so although they were seriously injured, they insisted on going on the road, saying that maybe they could help one or two.Xiong Lu wanted to persuade him, but Guan Fuxiu said it was okay, so he let him follow.Shadow no longer masked, dressed up as an ordinary person, and obediently guarded the goods behind the carriage.His injury is almost healed, Guan Fuxiu said, he can move properly, but he can't use force at will.

With a lot of gold and time to play and squander outside the palace, the Xiong couple actually feel very happy.When I came back here last time, I was forced to become the king of Chu, and I have been living the life of a king. I spend most of my time in the palace, and even when I go out of the palace, there are people who follow me.Now it's all right, I can come out to play, although there are still things pressing, but at this moment I feel very free.

"Fuxiu, have a laugh."

Guan Fuxiu turned his head, the bear couple clicked and took a picture.Guan Fuxiu stopped what he was busy with, ran to his side, stared at the screen, and said, "You're laughing so stupidly, let's try another one."

"Stand still, I'll take two more photos for you."

Guan Fuxiu did so, and attracted Shadow, saying: "Shadow, come here and take a picture of the two of us."

Shadow put down the goods in his hands, and pressed the shutter expressionlessly.Along the way, he was used to the two people showing their affection all the time, so he was forced to learn how to take pictures.

After taking the photo, Xiong Lu looked at the battery, sighed, and turned off the phone.I should have brought a power bank with me.But it's okay, as long as the phone can be brought back safely, the photos inside will not be lost.

"Hurry up, come here to help!" Guan Fuxiu unloaded the goods behind the carriage one after another, Xiong Lu responded, and hurried over to help pick up the goods.He rented a small courtyard on a street in Luoyi, which was only one street away from Zhou Tianzi's royal city, so that they could cover up their identities and check the terrain.

At this time, winter is approaching, and the weather is extremely cold. Most of the Xiong couple's boxes are filled with fur goods, and they themselves can also come in handy.He picked out a small white fox fur scarf for Guan Fuxiu, similar to the one he used to wear.Xiong Lu looked left and right, as if he had returned to the old days.

After tidying up the place, the sky will be dark, Guan Fuxiu and Ying Ying made hot pot according to Xiong Lu's instructions, and the three of them sat down to eat together.

The Xiong couple raised their wine glasses and said, "I wish our business a prosperous business and everything goes well!"

Guan Fuxiu smiled at him, and said: "Okay. We will get familiar with the streets of Luoyi in the daytime tomorrow, and go to investigate Miyagi in the evening. Shadow's wounds are not fully healed yet, so stay nearby and watch for us."

Shadow replied blankly: "Okay."

The next day, Xiong Lu slept until he woke up naturally, got up to wash up, and took Guan Fuxiu out for a stroll.Shadow is very self-conscious, saying that he wants to stay and look after the house instead of being a light bulb.Xiong Lu took Guan Fuxiu's hand and walked slowly on the street.Guan Fuxiu is also a master who doesn't go out often, he is surprised by everything he sees, and this is Luoyi, there are many things that he has never seen in Chu State, so he is even more curious.Xionglu had money in his pocket, and he was shopping along the way, holding a lot of things in his hands, which attracted the attention of passers-by.

It wasn't until he couldn't hold it anymore that Guan Fuxiu suddenly realized that he should know the way and check the terrain, and said: "Okay, okay, don't buy it, or you won't be able to hold it anymore." After saying that, he hugged him a little, The two then walked forward slowly.

Luoyi is heavily guarded. In front of Zhou Tianzi's royal city, just like outside Luoyi city, there is a moat guarding it. The river is about four or five meters wide, and it is difficult for ordinary swordsmen to cross.The height of the palace wall is estimated to be about ten meters, and it is difficult to go up, let alone the archers stationed on the palace wall, it is absolutely easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Xiong Lu leaned close to Guan Fuxiu's ear and said in a low voice: "This week's Emperor Zhou's royal city seems to be guarded more majesticly than the Chu Palace, and the moat alone is not easy."

Guan Fuxiu's expression remained unchanged, and he said, "Turn around and look at the back, the city wall in front is so tall, the back may be lower."

Xiong Lu nodded, and the two mingled among the passers-by, walking slowly along the moat, as if admiring the scenery.After walking around for a while, the palace wall at the back was indeed lower, about seven or eight meters, but the shortest part was also two stories high, about six or seven meters.

"It's so tall, can you do it?"

Guan Fuxiu looked at him meaningfully and said, "I can do it, but I'm worried that you can't."

Xiong Lu sighed, and said, "I really don't have much experience climbing walls. I don't know if I can go up. But... I think I can make some tools."

"Well, you have to hurry up, our plan must be thorough, lest you drag me down."

Xiong Lu thought for a while, and said: "To explore the road tonight, you should go alone first, try to be as silent as possible, and I will guard outside with the shadow. I am afraid that I will miss you if I go. I believe we If we can get out of the body, we are afraid of scaring the snake, and the defense has been strengthened since then, and it will be even more difficult for us to complete the task."

Guan Fuxiu nodded and said, "Okay. I can temporarily control the actions of Miyagi's archers and quickly enter Miyagi. It's just... I don't know what's going on inside. If I encounter a patrol team, it will be difficult... ..."

Xiong Lu thought about it too, and said: "Otherwise, hold back for now, and think of other ways when we go back. It's only been seven days since we set off today, and there is still a long time before the deadline, so we are not in a hurry."

Xiong Lu and Guan Fuxiu walked side by side on the streets of Luoyi for a long time, sat down to eat at a small shop when they were hungry, and walked on when they had enough rest.Walking to a market, it seems to be different from other places, but when night falls, it becomes more and more lively.Xiong Lu took a curious look, and pulled Guan Fuxiu to go there.

Halfway through, Guan Fuxiu noticed the strange atmosphere, his face changed, and he said angrily: "You're looking for scolding, drag me to this kind of place!"

"Ah?" Xiong Lu looked to both sides, most of them were flamboyantly dressed women, waving handkerchiefs to attract male customers, Xiong Lu was surprised from ear to ear, so there was such a place so early.

Seeing Guan Fuxiu's face getting darker and darker, Xiong Lu hurriedly took a few steps back and said, "Hahaha, I haven't seen the world, I didn't know at all just now... Let's go..."

A luxurious carriage stopped in front of the largest brothel on the street, and a fat man got out of the carriage, who could be seen as a high-ranking official or a royal nobleman.

"Hey, Uncle Da Zong is here, please hurry up, we have prepared fine wine upstairs, just wait for Uncle Da Zong to show you..." The middle-aged woman with the appearance of a procuress, with a smile on her face, invited people in, and the carriage parked outside .

Guan Fuxiu stared at the man, didn't move for a while, Xiong Lu also looked at him, thinking to himself what kind of official Uncle Da Zong is.I remembered that there is an article about Chunguan Zongbo in "Zhou Li", Da Zongbo... seems to be in charge of etiquette.He tilted his head and asked Fuxiu: "Fuxiu, is Uncle Da Zong in charge of etiquette and music?"

Guan Fuxiu nodded and said, "Yes."

Xiong Lu looked at the carriage and said, "I think I have a good idea."

Guan Fuxiu turned to look at him and said, "Maybe I think the same thing."

"Let's go, let's go home and discuss it carefully, don't worry."

After finishing speaking, they looked at each other and smiled, and walked back slowly.

Under the dim oil lamp, the three gathered around the fire to discuss the preparations for the assassination.

"Uncle Da Zong is in charge of the etiquette system. At the end of the year, he will hand over the sacrificial matters to the priests. He should have a map of the palace city in his hand." Xiong Lu said.

Guan Fuxiu continued: "The key issue is how to get close to him and get what we want."

Shadow said: "Isn't it better to ask the commander of the imperial army or other officers to get the guard situation of the imperial army and the blueprint of Miyagi?"

Xiong Lu nodded and said: "You are right, but at present, it seems that this great uncle is relatively easy to approach, and he has weaknesses. We can observe for a few more days, and it would be better if there is a better candidate."

"Then try to get close to this great uncle first, and use the most natural way so as not to make him suspicious. Xiong Lu, tell me what you want to do?"

Xiong Lu hesitated for a moment, and said: "Uh... this Da Zong Bo must be a lustful man, he must enjoy pleasure besides lust, so he sneaked into the mansion under the pretext of selling rare animal skins to him. While I was negotiating with him At that time, one of you sneaked into his study or bedroom and stole the palace map."

Guan Fuxiu supported his head and thought for a long time, and said: "Although this method is simple, it is feasible. There must not be many guards in Da Zongbo's residence, so there will not be much problem in moving there."

"Okay, then it's settled. I'll go find out where the uncle's mansion is tomorrow."

Guan Fuxiu said: "I'm going to look for the map of the palace city, and the couple of bears are going to come to discuss business. As for the shadow... Just in case, you can wait for us outside."

Shadow nodded: "Shadow obeys." After saying that, he hesitated for a while, and said, "Shadow has a request, and the two masters must agree."

"what?"

"Shadow requests to assassinate Zhou Tianzi later. Shadow's wounds are almost healed, and he should be able to kill the enemy in a few days."

Guan Fuxiu smiled and said: "Don't worry, don't think too much, we will wait for you. With you here, we have a better chance of winning."
