In a few days, Cao Cao will enter Sili to welcome the emperor, but he has not yet done what Cao Cao asked Yang Chou to do.
Destroy the marriage relationship between Yuan Shu and Lu Bu.
At that time, Yang Chou learned that Youzhou sent Chen Gui to persuade Lu Bu to join forces. He was relieved. If the two parties joined forces, Lu Bu would definitely break with Yuan Shu and he could complete the task without doing anything. That would be great!
But until Chen Gui left, Lu Bu did not express his position in the end. This made Yang Chou murmur in his heart, could it be that Lu Bu still wanted to join Yuan Shu?
Moreover, Yuan Shu's army is approaching Hanoi. If Lu Bu agrees to peace talks under his pressure, his mission will fail!
If this really happens, not only will he not get the benefits promised to him by Cao Cao, but his family may also be implicated.
We can't wait any longer, we must take action!
Now Zhang Yang and Sui Gu, who he didn't deal with, were still staying in Anyi after delivering food and clothing to the emperor, but they would return to Hanoi at any time. Then it would be difficult for him to act!
Yang Chou planned carefully when he returned to Huaicheng to prepare food and fodder at this time. He brought back his subordinates and happened to take action in Huaicheng!
A strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. Lu Bu, the dragon crossing the river, did not take control of Huaicheng after Zhang Yang left. This gave him, a local snake, an opportunity to take advantage of.
Yang Chou is a very direct person. His idea is very simple, to destroy the marriage between Yuan Shu and Lu Bu. He can't think of any good strategy, but he also knows the key to the matter.
Wouldn't killing Lu Bu's daughter settle the matter?
Now he has many people to mobilize, but the only one he fears is Lu Bu.
Although this person has a simple mind, he is better than his strong limbs. If the assassination is revealed, Lu Bu will definitely cut himself into pieces.
So Yang Chou has been having a headache. How can he send people into Lu Mansion to kill Lu Bu's daughter? It wasn't until Ju Shou and Zhao Yun arrived and confronted Gao Shun and Zhang Liao outside the city that Yang Chou thought of a good way.
If someone sends false information to trick Lu Bu out of the city, then he can send people pretending to be gangsters, invade Lu Mansion, and kill Lu Bu's wife and daughter!
You can also frame the crime and reveal the evidence that the perpetrator is Yuan Xi's subordinate. Lu Bu will definitely turn against Yuan Xi!
In this way, if Lu Bu's daughter dies, Lu Bu and Yuan Shu will naturally be unable to join forces. If Lu Bu falls out with Yuan Xi again, won't he have no choice but to seek refuge with Cao Cao in the end?
This strategy is so perfect!
Yang Chou admired himself very much for being able to think of such an idea!
Having made up his mind, he secretly sent out his confidants to prepare for action.
That night, Lu Bu invited Qu Yi to have a drink with him. He was still undecided about whether to join forces with Yuan Xi, so he wanted to ask Qu Yi to find out more about him. As he drank, he still felt uncomfortable opening his mouth.
Qu Yi was not in a hurry, and the two of them were just drinking wine when they saw the spies rush into the hall and reported: "Marquis Wen, something bad is going on!"
"The Youzhou Army outside the city attacked General Zhang Liao's camp and surrounded him. Now the two generals are in danger and may be killed by the opponent at any time and break the camp!"
"What!" Lu Bu was shocked and threw the wine glass on the ground, "How dare you, thief!"
He stood up angrily, pointed at Qu Yi and said, "Is this what the fierce tiger of the Yuan family did?"
Qu Yi's expression remained unchanged, he drank the wine in his hand and said, "Impossible."
"A fierce tiger would never do such a thing."
Lu Bu laughed angrily, pointed at the spy and said, "Then Dezhou means that my subordinates lied to me?"
Qu Yi said calmly: "Marquis Wen can send someone to check. Maybe the military situation is wrong."
Seeing how calm Qu Yi was, Lu Bu felt a little unsure. At this moment, another spy rushed in: "Marquis Wen, General Zhang is seriously injured. Please send troops to the city for reinforcements!"
Lu Bu couldn't sit still anymore, pointed at Qu Yi and said: "I will lead the troops out of the city first, and then I will settle the score with you when I come back!"
Qu Yi said: "Marquis Wen, don't be anxious, why don't you send someone to find out the situation?"
"Why not ask Mr. Gongtai?"
Lu Bu sneered and said, "When I send people to check again, they will all be dead!"
He said to the guards in the palace: "Tie him up and wait for me to come back!"
After saying that, he picked up Fang Tian's painted halberd and hurriedly got on his horse and left the house.
Seeing that he couldn't persuade Lu Bu, Qu Yi sighed in his heart. Lu Bu would hesitate when he should make a decision. When he should listen to other people's opinions, he would start to be arbitrary again.
There must be something wrong with this matter. Could it be that the young master sent people to Hanoi just to attack Lu Bu?
To take Lu Bu away?
Qu Yi became alert, and he couldn't help but look around. The guards in Lu Bu's mansion thought that he was going to make an attack, so they immediately came up with guns and knives and surrounded him.
Qu Yi shook his head. He was unarmed now. Even at his peak, he couldn't withstand these dozen guards with his bare hands.
He poured the wine by himself, and the scene seemed to be frozen. I don't know how long it took, but the sound of footsteps was heard. Everyone turned their eyes in the direction of the sound involuntarily, and found that it was Lu Lingqi who was coming.
When Lu Lingqi saw a group of guards pointing guns and knives at Qu Yi, she was startled and said, "What did you do to my master?"
"Where's Father?"
A guard hurriedly told what happened. Lu Lingqi frowned and said, "Why is my father so confused? If my master has evil intentions, how could he come to the house to drink with my father at this time?"
"Put your weapons away!"
Qu Yi thought that Lu Bu was not as clear-minded as Lu Lingqi. If Lu Lingqi had been present, Lu Bu would not have been deceived like this.
He laughed: "My disciples are smart. Instead of staring at me, it is better to let them protect the mansion to prevent people with evil intentions from taking the opportunity to cause trouble."
The guards looked at each other and unconsciously put away their guns and knives. At this moment, there was a noise outside the house. The sounds of weapons clashing and fighting continued to come in, followed immediately by the screams of the gatekeepers.
Everyone's expressions changed greatly, and then the sound of weapons continuously slashing at the door of the mansion was heard. Apparently the guard at the door was killed and someone was trying to break in!
Qu Yi shouted: "Marquis Wen fell into the enemy's conspiracy!"
"You must quickly gather the people in the mansion to defend against foreign enemies!"
Hearing the constant sounds of fighting outside the gate, Lu Lingqi's beauty turned pale, and she shouted: "Master, there is also grandma, I want to find grandma!"
Seeing that the guards were still hesitating, Qu Yi pointed at Lu Lingqi. Only then did Lu Lingqi react and shouted: "What are you still waiting for? Leave the two of me here while the others go to the mansion to gather people!"
When the guards heard this, they agreed and ran out in disorder.
Qu Yi shouted to Lu Lingqi: "Go get the weapons, and then go find Auntie!"
Lu Lingqi's body trembled slightly, she pointed behind her and said, "The weapons are all in the backyard!"
Qu Yi saw that the two remaining guards had knives in their hands and said, "It's too late!"
He strode over: "Give me your knife!"
The two of them looked at each other and pressed the handles of their swords at the same time. The next moment, they both took out their swords and slashed towards Qu Yi!
Qu Yi's reaction was also quick, and he ducked out of the way, cursing: "It turns out there is a traitor!"
The two men shouted at the same time: "Kill!"
When Qu Yi saw the opponent rushing towards him, he kicked the table over. The two of them slashed at the same time, splitting the table into three parts. Qu Yi took the opportunity to retreat and shouted to Lu Lingqi: "Quickly leave!"
"Get the weapons!"
Lu Lingqi woke up from a dream and hurriedly followed Qu Yi to the backyard to pump hard.
Seeing this, the two men chased after them with knives and their feet moved very quickly. As Qu Yi ran, he saw the other person approaching from the corner of his eye, and he immediately understood that these two people were masters!
The other party stayed because he had a premeditated plan. It was unlikely that he was targeting him, otherwise he would have taken action long ago.
Could it be Lu Lingqi?
He didn't have time to think about it at this time, and he and Lu Lingqi ran away desperately. There were no weapons in their hands and no armor on their bodies. The only thing they could do when encountering a master was to run away!
As Qu Yi walked, he threw the flowerpots on the corridors on both sides at the two of them, but they both avoided them.
After running around the corner, a maid was carrying a tea tray, walking from the other way, blocking the path of the two of them. Before Qu Yi could issue a warning, one of them slashed with a sword, and the maid's head flew up.
Blood splattered all over the man.
When Lu Lingqi saw it, she exclaimed. Her feet became weak and she almost tripped. Qu Yi quickly grabbed her arm and ran away.
After several twists and turns, Qu Yi and Lu Lingqi finally ran to the back courtyard. When he saw a row of weapons on the shelf, he laughed, pulled out a big gun, turned around, pointed at the two of them and said, "You are so stupid, are you still chasing me?"
"Come and have a fight with your grandpa!"
Lu Lingqi also took the opportunity to draw out a halberd, but her hands kept trembling, as if she could not hold the halberd shaft.
Although she has been practicing martial arts for many years, she has never seen blood. The scene where the maid's head flew up just now was such a shock to her that she couldn't recover.
When the two men met, one of them said: "I'll hold this man back, and you go and kill Lu Bu's daughter!"
The two nodded slightly and rushed forward at the same time!
Qu Yi's heart sank, the other party really came for Lu Lingqi!
He wanted to stop the two of them and shoot out with a spear, but the one in front of him was holding a sword across his left arm and using his right hand to grab the barrel of Qu Yi's gun.
Qu Yi shook the gun and pierced the man's chest with the gun. The man took two steps back, swiped the knife, and actually cut off the gun barrel, but he was completely unharmed.
Qu Yi cursed secretly, how could he have forgotten that since the other party was obviously Lu Bu's bodyguard, he must be wearing armor underneath his clothes!
He threw away the gun barrel and pulled out a knife from the shelf. During this delay, another person had already rushed in front of Lu Lingqi!
When Lu Lingqi saw that this man was covered in blood, he was the murderer who had just killed the maid, her hands trembled even more violently, and she unconsciously thrust out the halberd crookedly, without any force.
The man laughed sinisterly, squatted down to let Lu Lingqi's halberd pass, and stabbed Lu Lingqi's lower abdomen with the long knife in his hand!
Lu Lingqi's beauty turned pale, she took two steps back, stumbled, and almost fell. Seeing the opponent's knife tip getting closer and closer, her mind went blank.
At this moment, Qu Yi's knife was handed over, and the two knives intersected, making a loud bang, and bounced away at the same time.
Qu Yi turned around with difficulty to block the other person's stab at his vest, but the previous person returned the knife and made a gash in his ribs.
Lu Lingqi's blood spurted out from Qu Yi's wound. Her face was pale and her posture was even worse. She said in a trembling voice: "Master, I have forgotten all my martial arts skills and I can't use them anymore!"
Qu Yi took a few steps back, stood in front of Lu Lingqi, and sighed: "Let's go, this place is not suitable for you."
Lu Lingqi held back tears and wanted to speak, but Qu Yi interrupted her: "You run away first, I still have a chance of survival, otherwise I will definitely die here."
"Let's go!"
With tears in her eyes, Lu Lingqi dragged her halberd and turned around to run away. The two men wanted to chase them, but Qu Yi stopped them.
When the two saw this, they slashed at Qu Yi at the same time. As long as they killed Qu Yi, the remaining female family members in the mansion would have no choice but to be slaughtered by them!
