Chapter 424
Chapter 424
In the lobby of the mansion, Liu Bei's face was not looking good.
The news brought back by Chen Deng made him frown.
"How could Mi Zhu be so cruel?"
"Take out so much property?"
Liu Bei still didn't believe that a merchant could take out so much property and grain from his family to offer to the governor.
Isn't this cutting off his own roots?
But it happened just like that.
"From now on, Mi Zhu will be the governor's deputy." Chen Deng added on the side.
"It's not easy!" Liu Bei sighed.
"It seems that Mi Zhu's position in Xuzhou will be unshakable in the future."
Chen Deng nodded on the side, "Indeed, with the protection of the governor, it is unrealistic for us to move the Mi family again."
Liu Bei's eyes turned, "Start from other places."
"Things on the surface are not okay, but things in secret..."
His voice gradually became sinister.
Liu Bei, who was used to failure, had put victory first.
Winners are kings and losers are bandits.
Nothing is more important than winning.
He never wanted to experience the bitterness of failure again.
"It's probably not easy." Chen Deng said.
"I heard that Mi Zhu had just returned to the mansion and spread the news."
"He said he was looking for warriors all over the world."
"As long as you join their Mi family as a guard, you will have very high treatment."
"Unprecedented."
"I guess the talented people in the nearby states and counties will come quickly after hearing the news."
"When the time comes, we want to do something in secret, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do it."
Liu Bei made a prompt decision and slammed the table, "Then now."
He called Chen Deng over and whispered in his ear, "Tonight..."
...
It was dark and windy.
Jia Xu and the three Tanghai generals had already entered the Mi Mansion.
Under Jia Xu's arrangement, the three generals kept watch separately.
The news released by Mi Zhu is likely to induce other forces in Xia Pi City to take action in advance.
Before the arrival of various "heroes", the Mi family will definitely be secretly targeted.
All kinds of vicious schemes must be used.
Especially things like framing.
It will become the main choice for secret actions.
After all, the government's majesty is still there. If the Mi family commits a serious crime, even if the governor protects them.
It will not be able to calm the anger of the officials.
The Mi family will be in trouble.
Xu Chu sat on a big rock in the courtyard, holding a weapon and drinking meat.
Looking at the round moon rising in the sky, it was very comfortable.
Outside the courtyard wall of the mansion, Zhang Kai came at Liu Bei's command.
Wearing a black nightgown, hiding in a dark corner and walking quickly.
If you don't look carefully, you can't find any traces.
Before being conquered by Liu Bei, Zhang Kai was the best at doing things at night among the Yellow Turbans.
He has stolen a lot from wealthy families.
This is just in time to come in handy.
He was carrying a package, which Liu Bei had ordered him to put in a more secluded place in Mi's house.
After Zhang Kai inspected the place, he threw stones into the mansion.
He hid outside the wall and listened.
There was no movement?
Zhang Kai was stunned. This was too simple.
He complained in his heart.
Such a wealthy family didn't even arrange a dog to guard the yard.
Is the security in Xuzhou too good?
Or do they look down on these passers-by at night?
Zhang Kai waited for a while, and after making sure there was no movement, he took a few steps back and rushed forward, climbing up the wall in a few steps.
He jumped in.
With a click, he landed safely.
But if...
Before he finished thinking about the contemptuous words in his heart, a sharp knife was placed on his neck.
Under the moonlight, the sharp blade shook Zhang Kai's eyes.
The cold touch was transmitted from the skin to the body.
Zhang Kai's legs softened and he almost fell to the ground.
"Hmph!" Xu Chu snorted coldly, "No technical content at all."
Putting the chicken leg in his left hand into his mouth, Xu Chu kicked the man in black clothes over.
He tied him up tightly in a few steps.
He also stuffed the man's mouth with a rag.
With a light lift, like a chicken, Xu Chu lifted it into a house and threw it on the ground full of candlelight.
Plop.
Zhang Kai was knocked unconscious.
Looking up, there was a Confucian scholar sitting in the room, reading at night with a candle.
However, it was not Mi Zhu.
This confused him.
When did the Mi family have other Confucian scholars in control of power?
"Liu Bei's people?" Jia Xu put down the book in his hand and asked coldly.
His eyes were extremely sharp.
Xu Chu pulled the rag out of the man in black and put his long knife against his neck.
"Answer me as I ask you."
"If you don't answer me properly, don't blame me for chopping you with my knife!"
Zhang Kai was frightened.trembled all over, and the cold blade would cut his throat even if it was a hair's length further forward.
That's no joke.
Master!
He felt unfathomable in his heart.
He was a good martial artist, but he was subdued so easily. He couldn't imagine how powerful the martial artist and the scholar in front of him were.
When did the Mi family have such a person?
"Speak quickly!" Xu Chu roared.
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you right away." Zhang Kai nodded quickly, "It's true... It's from Liu Bei."
"My lords, let me go, I'll tell you everything!"
Jia Xu stood up, walked to the black-clothed man, squatted down and opened the package he was carrying.
"Dragon robe."
"Hmph!"
Jia Xu snorted coldly and threw it aside.
"It's just as the master of the family said."
"That man will do anything to achieve his goal."
"The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit!"
"The most hurtful thing is an arrow in the dark."
"If we hadn't come, the Mi family would have been assassinated by that man."
Xu Chu asked, "What should we do now?"
Jia Xu's eyes turned fierce and pointed at the man in black on the ground, "Deal with him first, then deal with others."
...
Liu Bei slept well all night and got up early the next day with the help of Meiji.
He thought he would get good news, but he was told that Zhang Kai had not returned.
The sudden situation caught Liu Bei off guard.
Wait.
He told Chen Deng to continue waiting.
However, a whole day passed without seeing Zhang Kai.
Liu Bei and Chen Deng discussed and estimated that Zhang Kai was gone.
"Zhang Kai's martial arts are very good, but he can't deal with the Mi family guards?"
Liu Bei was puzzled.
"Even if we can't win, we can run away, right?"
"At least we have to send some news back."
"If we fail in the middle of the night, we can't leave the city. If we don't come back, we can't come back."
Chen Deng nodded in agreement, "It seems that the Mi family is more powerful than we thought."
"Could it be..."
His voice stopped abruptly.
Liu Bei was also full of doubts.
The fact that Mi Zhu's sister was sent to Tanghai has been a hot topic in Xiapi City these days.
Combined with what happened last night, Liu Bei felt uneasy.
"Cancel the plan against the Mi family for the time being." Liu Bei made a prompt decision.
"If there are people from Tanghai who are secretly helping us, we are not their opponents for the time being."
Liu Bei felt a pang in his heart.
The Mi family is about to become the world's number one merchant.
It was really not his time that he failed to conquer such a family!
